The Yuxia Pass was unsealed, and it was easier to go from Central Plains to Yuzhou to the west. What made him worry was where to find this caravan? Most of Yuzhou were new residents. After arriving in Yuzhou, they would be able to work in the mountain city. What should I do if there was no businessman? I had to ask for a merchant. Otherwise, I would waste the best trade route of the desert and I could only get it through hardships.

The desert is a place of gold, and he can't just expect an armed business to push up Yuzhou. I remember when I went back to find Yang Kai, Yang Kai told him that several breweries in Yuzhou were in the past. The defeat of Gong Tian and Guan Hou led to a shocking massacre in Shacheng, and many big merchants ran away. Later, several merchants who could make wine intermittently came back, and now several small brewing workshops in Yuzhou are descendants of the brewers who ran out and returned.

So, now I have an idea again. There are so many ready-made wine brewers. Now that I lack businessmen, let’s start with the winemaking industry. Someone takes the lead and the entrepreneurs will rise one after another? Yes, starting with the winemaking industry, he wants to start with the people of Yuzhou.

He is now the military and political governor, and he also has the right to transfer Yang Kai out. He is a talent in charge of government affairs. It would be a waste of talent to go to be a city guard and govern military affairs.

Now that Yuzhou has his 300,000 field army, there is no need to defend the city. The military control of Yuzhou must be lifted, and a city guard must be replaced. The lieutenant of Xiaoyu County (the lieutenant of the seventh rank and the sixth rank) was not very meaningful to throw him into a county town. He was promoted to become a city manager.

When Yang Kai was asked to be the governor of Yuzhou, Lord Hu from the mountain city was also transferred to be the governor of government affairs (the governor of the fifth rank, and the governor of one state was the fourth rank), the government affairs department was demolished, and the personnel were assigned to each county town to be the county magistrate. The entire Yuzhou area was all lifted out of military control, and Yang Kai was allowed to be assigned to him, and the government affairs department was allowed to take charge of finance and other matters. The reopening of this brewery was asked to be done by Yang Kai and Lord Hu first. Anyway, the ready-made brewers would teach their disciples in the future, and they would open more wineries, and they would have to be opened.

When Yang Kai heard that he wanted to be the governor of Yuzhou, he was very happy. Yuzhou was his hometown, and he had more rights to build his hometown. He couldn't be happy. Yang Kai decisively assured him that the reconstruction of the winery would definitely satisfy him. He also told Yang Kai that if he built something in the future, just report it to him, money would not be a problem. As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Kai proposed a lot of things, build a reservoir, build a cotton mill, introduce other grain seeds, expand the oil pressing department, and build official roads from various counties to the main city.

Ah... Wait a lot of things. He felt ache in his head and had to tell the truth to Yang Kai. He had no money yet (he threw the money into the cavalry equipment again). He started allocating money next month, but Yang Kai said that he had approved the official repairs on the spot. It would be really impossible not to repair the road! It would take more than two days from Shancheng to Shacheng, and about two days from Yuzhou to Shacheng. It took more than ten days to transport supplies to Shacheng. The road was so happy that it was not necessary to pull the carriage in front, and the soldiers pushed it behind. It was so easy to transport more and go quickly.

He also told Yang Kai that the winery cannot be built in the city, including the ones that will be built in the future and all those that are outside the city. It is too noisy to build in the city and it will affect the environment even more.

After returning to the command center, I thought about it and sighed again, "I have no money, I have no money, I have poor and poor." Fortunately, there are people fighting in the west of the Mo River, and the demand for arms is quite large. Just block the hole after selling the arms and having money."

When the winery is built, we will first brew a batch of Erguotou to sell. If we can't sell it, we will throw it away the Kingdom of Desire and keep it for our own army. The wine in the desert is not powerful at all, so there is no such thing as Erguotou. Last year, the people of Yuzhou all fought a lot of sorghum. Well! Then brew some sorghum wine, and the sales volume should be very good. So many small countries will fight with two big countries, and there will definitely be many casualties. I don't believe that they don't want strong wine to deal with external injuries.

As he thought about it, he fell asleep again.

———

When he woke up, He Chengfeng came over and called him. When he got up, he found that it was already midnight. He didn't know what He Chengfeng ran from the sand city in the middle of the night. Put on his coat and when he came to the hall, he saw He Chengfeng in the hall was as anxious as a monkey.

"It's time now, you still came over to see me. Is there anything wrong?"

"General, it's not good. Something happened in the desert." He Chengfeng said anxiously.

"What happened?"

"The general asked me to go to the God of Desire to find Halena, but my subordinates did not find her after they arrived at the Kingdom of Desire. The clerk in her shop said that she went to the desert to run for goods. In order to see her, my subordinates waited for more than a month at my Yuzhou Army camp. Only after the New Year's Eve news came that something happened to Halena in the desert."

"What? What happened to her?"

"It took half a month to investigate. The batch of goods that Halena left was seized in Ukraine, and even the people were imprisoned by Ukraine."

"Tell me slowly, what's going on."

He Chengfeng was a little anxious and slowed down. Then he said, "There are only four countries in the center of the desert, and these four countries are very different. There are basically no buildings in the center of the desert, and even if there are, they will not exist for too long. And the quicksand everywhere is extremely dangerous. Many countries are destroyed by sandstorms. The power of sandstorms is not something that humans can resist. These four countries line up from south to north. However, this so-called character will not be flooded by sandstorms, and the terrain is extremely special. The Ukrainian country is on this line, which is one of the four central transfer station countries."

"What? There is such a thing? A country that will not be flooded by sandstorms, has this terrain in the center of the desert?" He said in surprise.

"Yes, it's on the most central line." He Chengfeng answered affirmatively.

"Why was Halena detained by Ukraine?"

"Because the goods that Halena took were equipment from their enemy country."

"Enemy country? Which country does Ukraine have a grudge against?"

"Flowers in the Desert——The Kingdom of Goddess" He Chengfeng slashed Ding Zhen Tie.

"Is the Flower of the Desert? The Kingdom of Goddess? Also one of the four central countries?"

"Yes, Mo Xin Four Kingdoms, Wu, Jester, and Goddess," He Chengfeng replied.

"Why didn't Halena go directly to the Goddess Kingdom, but she wanted to leave the Bird and Wu Kingdom. She's really asking for trouble."

"General, this is not the case. My subordinates have asked people. Although these four countries are on the same line, they are very far apart from south to north. It is also possible to go directly from the Kingdom of Desire to the Kingdom of God, but it will be extremely dangerous. There are many sandstorms along the way, and there are more quicksands than sandstorms. It is even more difficult to lead a caravan, so many caravans have to pass through the safety line. This safety line is not straight and twisting. Halena must pass through the Wu Kingdom if she wants to go to the Kingdom of God. Now Persia and Beisha have fought in the western desert with dozens of vassal states in order to control this safety line," He Chengfeng explained.

…

After listening to He Chengfeng's explanation, he understood that "the security line, the four hub countries, controlling this line and the four hub countries is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of all business travelers. This is not a safety line at all, this is a golden line!"

"What should we do now, General?"

He raised his head and said firmly, "Halina must be saved. You will go back to the desert tomorrow. Take people from the Yuzhou Military District of the Kingdom of God of Desire to go to the desert center and negotiate with Ukraine. If Ukraine disagrees, exchange equipment with Ukraine and give them Halena's goods. My Yuzhou is willing to pay 100,000 pieces of equipment as ransom, and bring Halena back no matter what."

"Yes, my subordinates understand, I will leave."

He thought a lot again after He Chengfeng left

"Halina can't happen. If the Yuzhou caravan wants to sell goods in the desert, she needs her desert experience. And... I, Liu Yi, will not let my partner do anything, safety line, life line, golden road..." I muttered silently in my heart.

———

He is quite concerned about Halena's affairs. After all, his monthly military expenditure and various expenses are all from Halena. How could he? Now Halena is detained by Wuguo, and he has no money on him, and his military rations are almost exhausted. Now he has no money and can't even afford military rations. He sighed, and he even praised Yang Kai during the day to allocate money next month. Can he be rich next month? He couldn't help but scold Yang Da's contractor again in his heart.

From this incident, we can see that although he is also a small warlord with an army of 300,000, he has no foundation compared to those of the mainland warlords. Now, let alone hit others, he will probably be defeated in half a month.

The three mainland vassals have only about 300,000 troops, but if they really want to fight, the 300,000 troops are much stronger than his 300,000 troops. It’s not that the combat power is too strong, but that the endurance power is too strong. Each person dies in 300,000 people and each person will be replenished and the food and grass will not be cut off. If he is, let alone the endurance power, it will be against the will of heaven if he can last for half a month. He has no food and has no money while fighting. In the end, he can’t even afford the soldiers’ military pay. So he can even fight a big fight, raise his hand to surrender!

Why isn't the court afraid of him? A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and he can completely drag his 300,000 people to death in one month. The court made him one step to be afraid that he would make trouble in the west, and then he would bring all the big bosses in the mainland to the forefront. He would fight the court with real swords and guns. What the court really feared was the Three Feudal Affairs.

What I think about now is how to make money. This time it is really difficult. Halena was detained, who should I buy his arms? Now there is no other industry to develop in Yuzhou. He now has the intention to collect taxes in several small countries of Yu Shen, but he just held it back. The countries north of Yu Shen are the territory of the Simon people, and those countries must have money, but now they are looking for death to go to war with the Simon people.

Walking around the command post all night, I didn't sleep. I borrowed money? Who should I borrow it? I grabbed territory? But I couldn't beat the Simon people.

———

After thinking about it, I didn't know what to do. I sat on the chair and thought about Halena.

"Oh! I'll kill me, do I have to rob the Simon people of the territory? The Ukrainians are so terrible that I dare to be my partner. Then I still care about him. Isn't it even if I go to be my partner?

"It's paralyzed! Such a simple truth made me not sleep all night. I slept and went to bed when I woke up." I muttered and beat him, and went back to sleep.

———

In this way, he was ready to enter the desert.
Chapter completed!
