Although Yelu Min and Yelu Huan are both Khitans, at least these two people will not stare at each other and are very honest compared to others.

In the future, if Zhao Yu wants to gain a foothold in Youzhou, he will not be completely Han generals under him. It doesn’t matter which ethnic group is, just slowly become a Chinese.

Wu Song and Lin Chong basically lived in the military camp during this period. Because they were both Zhao Yu's personal guards, they also had their residences in Zhao Yu's mansion.

Yelu Min and Yelu Huan left after drinking and eating, but Wu Song and Lin Chong stayed.

There were originally 20,000 troops in Youzhou, but most of them were Han and Mongols, because the elite Khitans were transferred to the north to be cannon fodder.

The decree to abolish slaves was promulgated, especially after Xiao Keyeda was killed to warn the monkey, many slaves were liberated. During the period when Zhao Yu left, more than 10,000 soldiers were collected one after another.

Now the main task of Lin Chong and Wu Song is to train these soldiers, but the power to command the troops is in the hands of Yelu Min and Yelu Huan, so it is impossible to make these troops completely obey Zhao Yu in a short period of time.

Zhao Yu knew that this was not an urgent matter, otherwise it would be likely to alert Yelu Min and others.

After listening to the two of them's reports, Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and said, "I'm not convenient for this matter. After returning to the barracks tomorrow, you can take advantage of the opportunity of training to suggest to Yelu Min to conduct a large competition in the entire army, select some outstanding soldiers or low-level officers to train in a concentrated manner, so that they can become your students, and then enrich them into the army."

At the dinner table just now, Yelu Min and Yelu Huan both highly praised Wu Song and Lin Chong. In addition, when Zhao Yu mentioned the Jurchens, they also knew that they would fight the Jurchens sooner or later, so they knew that it was imperative to train a strong army.

With this premise, Zhao Yu believes that Yelu Min will agree with Wu Song and Lin Chong's proposal.

Of course, controlling the army in this way is only a means, and it is also logistics support.

Before Zhao Yu left Youzhou, he talked about this issue with Yang Xu. When Zhao Yu came back this time, he must first implement this matter.

Most of the materials from the north in all dynasties came from the Central Plains, so what Zhao Yu had to do was to revitalize Youzhou's economy. Only when the economic development improved can the various military guarantees be kept up.

When Zhao Yu left Shangjing, he had already sent someone to notify Yang Xu that Yang Xu spent most of his time in Taiyuan. According to time, he should be coming soon.

Both military and economic directions have directions, but Zhao Yu knows that there is still a long way to go before his goal. First of all, there are too few people available to him now, not to mention civil officials.

Again, this is not an impatient thing, you can only take it slowly.

The next morning, the guards came to report that a rich businessman outside the door asked for a visit.

A rich businessman?

After Zhao Yu was slightly stunned, he suddenly remembered someone in his mind, but hesitated for a moment and simply followed the guards to the outside of the mansion.

Outside the mansion, a fat man in a cotton robe and a rabbit-feather hat was standing respectfully under the steps outside the mansion.

"Fujianguan, it's you! Haha... I know I'm not wrong, hurry up! Please come inside"

After seeing the person who came clearly, Zhao Yu jumped off the stairs, then pulled the fat man up and walked inside, without giving him a chance to speak with a tribute.

It turned out that this fat shopkeeper with the surname Fu was nothing else. It was the eyeliner leader stationed in Jiangnan by the Bianliang Cao Gang, who was stationed in Jiangnan, and Fugui.

Zhao Yu actually came out to greet him in person, obviously beyond the imagination of wealth and honor. A hint of emotion appeared in his eyes. He knew that his trip to Youzhou was right.

Zhao Yu pulled Fugui and turned to Yan Qing beside him and said, "Helmet the attendant of the Fu shopkeeper, and also tell the concierge that I have important guests and no one will see you today."

Fugui was even more moved when he heard it. It was said that His Highness Yi was kind and kind. Now it seems that those who have a narrow evaluation of His Highness are still too narrow. This is the one who can accomplish great things...

Zhao Yu ordered to prepare a banquet and invite Fugui to the study room first.

As soon as he entered the door, Fugui kowtowed and politely bowed down to the courtesy regardless of Zhao Yu's obstruction. According to his words, although His Highness respects the wise and the nobles, their courtesy cannot be abolished.

After sitting back, Fugui said directly: "Although Boss Jiang has ordered to clear his relationship with His Highness, the villain knows that His Highness was killed by a traitor, so no matter what, the villain swears to follow His Highness to the death, and I hope His Highness will not abandon him."

Jiangnan has become a mess, and the court has suppressed the rebellion, Zhao Yu was pushed to the forefront, and Boss Jiang and others turned against each other at the critical moment. It seems that Zhao Yu has no chance to turn around.

Although Fugui only met Zhao Yu once, looking at His Highness’s actions in Jiangnan, Fugui felt that this little highness was the one who could truly entrust.

The reason why many people can succeed is not because of how capable they are, but because they have vision and know how to take sides.

Fugui is undoubtedly such a person.

After hearing Fugui's words, Zhao Yu's face turned smooth, and he stood up and folded his fists to Fugui, saying, "The kindness of the Fu shopkeeper today will be rewarded in the future."

Do not doubt people, but do not doubt people. This is Zhao Yu's principle of dealing with things. Moreover, if Fugui really wants to play infernal Affairs, he will only die even worse. I believe he knows this truth himself.

After Fugui quickly returned the gift, he continued: "According to Your Highness's instructions, I have transferred all my subordinates to the ground, and at the same time cut off the contact with the direction of Bianliang. What should I do next? Please let Your Highness make clear."

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment before saying, "Fang La will not last long, Jiangnan will be in turmoil for a while. What you have to do now is to preserve your strength. In addition, there is a shortage of supplies in Youzhou, and you also have to find a way to transport some of the scarce supplies here."

The Song and Liao dynasties have never been really good. Although there were deliberations in the past, there were limited materials to trade. Especially after the Song Dynasty was preparing to make another northern expedition, all deliberations were closed, which also made life in the Yanyun area even more difficult.

Needless to say, food is very scarce in Yanyun area.

Fugui nodded and said, "The villain understands the hardships of Your Highness. It's just that although things are easy to work with, it's difficult to get out of seclusion."

Almost all the generals of the border in the Song Dynasty smuggled, but they were all small-scale and concealed. Outsiders like Fugui could not find any way.

However, the lack of wealth does not mean that Zhao Yu does not have it either. Yang Xu is not in vain for so long in Taiyuan.

"I will solve these things, and I will never let you do a loss-making business. I will send someone to contact you later."

Fugui nodded, suddenly slapped his head and said, "From my memory, I almost forgot about such a big thing."

"The villain has a clan brother who works as an official in Youzhou. He originally thought that if he couldn't see His Highness, he would go to him."

"Oh! What is your clan brother's name? What official position is now?"
