Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

Li Shimin only needed to tidy things up a bit. Although it was impossible to completely replicate Chu Xin's industrial model, it was still possible to replicate some muskets and cannons.

Secondly, everyone knows that Luoyang City is Chu Xin's base camp, and the people in the city have basically been brainwashed by Chu Xin.

Although Li Shimin claimed to have captured Luoyang City, he was unable to make the people return home in a short period of time.

But at this time, Luoyang City was the top priority, so the other party wanted to make a big change.

Directly move the people in the city away.

But where the people would move to was another hot potato. After much deliberation, only Chu Mo's Lingnan was suitable.

Not to mention that Lingnan was originally a place where prisoners were exiled, but that Yang Hongyu now only maintained a superficial affiliation with the imperial court, which made Li Shimin a little unhappy.

Sending this hot potato to Lingnan not only disgusted Chu Xin, but also Yang Hongyu. It also caused irreconcilable discord between the two families, which Li Shimin was happy to see.

After figuring out Li Shimin's sinister intentions, Chu Mo immediately ordered and rushed back to Lingnan. He wanted to meet Yang Hongyu first after the other party's message was delivered.

The convoy rushed slowly and hurriedly, and finally entered the Lingnan boundary half a month later.

Although Chu Ruowan had heard before that Lingnan was now completely controlled by Yang Hongyu and the others, and there was a faint tendency to separate them, but only after arriving in Lingnan did Chu Mo know how powerful Yang Hongyu was.

First, she directly took over the original Gui Guan Jing Lue Mansion and expelled all the Tang officials who were originally stationed there.

Then, she rebuilt Guizhou City with Gui Guan Jing Lue Mansion as the center, hoping to build it into a military town connected to the Tang Dynasty.

Nowadays, in the entire Lingnan, there is not a single official of the Tang Dynasty left, all of them have been expelled by Yang Hongyu.

And if the imperial court wanted to issue any decree or decree, it would be impossible to enter the Lingnan territory without Yang Hongyu's approval.

Not only that, after Yang Hongyu drove away the officials of the Tang Dynasty, he directly began to issue his own decrees in Lingnan.

Not only did he exempt the people under his rule from all kinds of exorbitant taxes, but in order to develop the population, he also promised to spend a large amount of money every year to encourage childbirth.

In addition, Yang Hongyu also vigorously developed the military industry based on the military factories and various manufacturing craftsmen left by Chu Xin, as well as the various drawings left by Chu Mo.

Chu Mo even saw rows of artillery pieces covered by tarps on the city wall.

After a brief inspection of Guizhou City, Chu Mo did not express any opinions on the policies implemented by Yang Hongyu, but continued to lead Chu Ruowan and others to Leizhou City non-stop.

At this time, Leizhou City has become the center of the entire Lingnan. Not only has it been built into a military town, it has also stationed more than 30000 new troops trained by Yang Hongyu.

When Chu Mo and his party arrived at Leizhou City, they had lost their previous appearance and became extremely strange.

Seeing a strange convoy suddenly coming outside the city, the soldiers guarding the city immediately stepped forward to question them.

When the soldiers saw the comfort token in Chu Ruowan's hand, they let him go without hesitation.

Although I don’t know who is sitting in the carriage, but with the secret guard’s token, I think his identity is definitely not simple.

After the group entered the city, Chu Mo discovered that in Leizhou City today, not only the construction of the city walls had changed, but also the layout of the city and the management of the people.

Today's Leizhou City not only has an outer city, but also an inner city.

According to Chu Ruowan's introduction, this outer city was built for people such as common people and merchants.

They can live and trade freely in the outer city.

As for the inner city, only the army, officials and craftsmen at all levels in Leizhou City, as well as their families, are eligible to move in.

In addition, other people are basically not allowed to enter and exit the city at will. If you want to enter the city, you must have more than 10 inner city residents as guarantees to obtain the right to temporarily enter.

As for ordinary people wanting to live in the inner city, it is basically impossible.

Leizhou City has extremely strict control over this.

The one with stricter control than Leizhou City is Nanhai Island.

Yang Hongyu built a city directly on Nanhai Island-Nanhai City.

The city is surrounded by walls, but only one door remains. This door is only opened on the 15th of every month.

Every time it is opened, it is to transport materials and deliver manufactured products.

In addition, some daily necessities and necessary personnel can only be transported in hanging baskets on the city wall.

On the entire South China Sea Island, apart from the secret guards with special functions, the only ones who could enter and exit freely were sisters Yang Hongyu and Yang Hongqian.

If anyone else comes close, let alone entering, they may be shot to death indiscriminately as a spy.

In addition to various military factories, the city is where craftsmen of all levels and their families live.

As for the guards on Nanhai Island, they relied on the four walls to build camps.

In this way, not only can Nanhai City be protected at any time, but if the enemy wants to sneak in, they must first pass through their military camp.

After listening to Chu Ruowan's introduction, Chu Mo and his party had also arrived at the entrance to the inner city of Leizhou City.

Despite the certificate of Chu Ruowan's birth, the handwriting issued by the governor's office and various materials proving it, the guards directly seized all their supplies and carriages.

Yan Ming: After they complete the inspection and there is no problem, they will send it back to the governor's office.

Chu Mo was not angry about this. After all, the other party did this just for his own safety in the future, and they followed the procedures. There was no need to blame them.

After leaving everything at the entrance of the inner city, except Chu Mo and Chu Ruowan, the rest of the group were temporarily left in the outer city because they were not qualified to enter the city.

After Chu Mo appeased everyone and waited for a few words, he took Chu Ruowan to the Governor's Mansion.

Arriving at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Chu Mo felt that the place was deserted. Not only was there no traffic like when he was there before, but even the door was closed.

There wasn't even a guard at the door, just a gray-haired, hunched-over gatekeeper.

After asking around, I found out that Yang Hongyu didn't live here at all, it was just an empty shell.

Seeing Chu Moxiang's questioning look, Chu Ruowan blushed for a rare moment.

Then he showed his identification to the concierge.

The concierge saw that it was the governor who had returned, and immediately opened the door to welcome Chu Mo's arrival.
