Follow the Jiaqu Housing all the way north, and after half a day, we entered the core fortress group of Han Juyan, and it was also the location of Juyan City - the Heicheng Pass in Sanjing Pass.

The solid city walls, wide city gates, crossbows and arrow towers all show the specialness here.

This is Li Guangli's old nest in the past, and the Han army's important military town in Hexi - Han Ju Yanzhu.

Juyan Duwei and General Ershi are all in this place.

In the future, General Yingyang's Office will also move to the army here.

This is the Han-family city closest to the front line of the Han-Hungarian battlefield.

It is also a very suitable place for hoarding heavy troops.

The rich Juyanze stretches for hundreds of miles, and five rivers gather here, and the final destination of the entire water system west of the Qilian Mountains is also here.

However, now, the place is a bit depressed.

Except for the soldiers on the city tower, the city was deserted.

When Zhang Yue arrived directly under the city, only one lieutenant came out to greet him.

"The last general, Zheng Gan, the captain of Heicheng, paid homage to General Yingyang!" Zheng Gan, the captain of Heicheng, was a stout and burly man in his thirties, with a thick beard and a peat-like man. However, he seemed to have no energy and spoke weakly.

Zhang Yue looked at it and frowned slightly.

He realized that the problem was probably even more serious than he thought!

Even the morale and emotions of senior officers of the Heichengsai Captain were greatly affected!

I'm afraid that the strokes at the bottom of the team and the desperate sentiment have completely spread?

Therefore, Zhang Yue immediately knew what he should do?

Spend money!

Gold opens the way, and Wuzhu coins are the way, this is the most effective and easiest way.

Unfortunately, after touching his pocket, Zhang Yue could only sigh helplessly.

The funds he can use now are not even enough for a thousand gold!

The Yingyang Travel brought only a hundred gold coins at most.

The funds needed for Ju Yan's death and the pension, rewards and incentives of the injured soldiers are astronomical.

Conservatively estimated that to achieve basic resettlement and pension and to complete the most basic reward, at least tens of millions of money and equivalent property and land.

And there is no second force except the Han Dynasty.

Unfortunately, now, the officials in the court are afraid that they even lack interest in doing this.

After all, in the eyes of this big man, Juyan's military and civilians had nothing to do with them.

Why do you ask them to wipe Li Guangli’s butt?

As for the Emperor?

If no one reminds him, and makes great efforts to persuade him.

He may be happy to pretend that he doesn't know this matter and delay it if he can.

It's best to drag it to death!

This is the instinctive reaction of the carnivorous eaters who are high above the temple.

Unless a mess is caused, no one will care about the fate of these former Li Guangli's desperate party.

This is the sadness of the little people.

In the eyes of big names, the promotion of the little people is just data.

This is not something Zhang Yue thought about himself, but everything he knew that he had witnessed for two lives.

The ruling class is the most powerful force in the world.

But at the same time, they are also the most decaying!

The degree of decay is proportional to the degree of civilization.

For example, the worst slavery is better than the best clan system.

By the same token, the worst feudal system is better than the best slavery.

And the worst capitalism is a hundred times stronger than the best feudal system!

It is only necessary to multiply the miserable child laborers at the bottom of London and Paris during the Industrial Revolution by one hundred, which is probably the daily life of contemporary lower-class farmers.

There is a poem in later generations that says it well - there is no idle land in the world, and the farmer still starves to death.

In this era, no matter how hard, hardworking and saving farmers work, they will be very likely to end up in bankruptcy and sell their children, daughters, and their wives, if they are natural disasters, even if they are just a small change!

The Han family in Juyan implemented the integration of military and civilians.

Most of the soldiers of Juyan Duwei and the Ershi Army were professional soldiers who settled here.

They tied their heads to their belts and followed Li Guangli to live and die. Most of them did not do anything for the sake of family and country.

Instead, I went home with the reward and fed my wife and parents.

Now, they are fighting to the death, but they cannot get any rewards.

Their sacrifices and their efforts are all possible to be forgotten.

This is comparable to the most heavyweight disaster for these families.

It is equivalent to severe drought in Guanzhong and floods in Heluo.

If this situation is not changed, Juyan, the most important military, economic and agricultural center in Hexi, may have a wave of refugees in Juyan, the empire, in the beginning of spring next year.

Countless people will vote with their feet to escape from this place.

Not why?

Because, their burden is too great!

Before Zhang Yue came, he had already obtained the information handed over by Li Guangli and various archives.

So he knew that although he looked at Juyanze’s fertile land and rich places, he thought that the lives of the people and people living here were very relaxed.

In fact, it's the opposite!

The burden of the people of Juyan is the greatest in the world!

The grain they grow, the cloth they produce, the sauce they make, the firewood they work hard to cut, even the fish they catch in the water, and the beasts they hunt in the forest!

As long as there is output, they will be exploited by the Juyan government!

Moreover, it is not ordinary exploitation.

Their burden is more than three times that of farmers in the inner county!

No reason, because this is Juyan, the Han family's offensive base in Hexi, and the place where the elite Han Han troops stationed.

These people not only have to support themselves, but also have to support more than 20,000 full-time soldiers in the basic expenses when garrisoning here!

Even if the permanent residents of Juyan are included in the soldiers, the total population does not exceed 200,000!

In other words, they need to provide for one soldier and his war horse for every ten people!

Although the court will allocate resources, the Prime Minister's Office and the Grand Secretary will transfer materials here as much as possible.

However, the cost of transporting materials from the inner county is too high.

If it weren't for the war, there wouldn't be too much of this blood transfusion.

Of course, Juyan can also count on the supply of the four counties in Hexi and Heshuo areas.

but……

These places have little output, and it is already amazing to be able to support themselves and not bother the court.

Therefore, Juyan’s military and civilians can only rely on themselves!

Farm your own land, reclaim wasteland, dig channels, and support yourself.

In the endless hard years, the only thing the people living here can count on is one thing - military merit!

I hope that his husband, brothers, and nephews will emerge in the war and make military achievements, and then one person will achieve enlightenment and the family will ascend to heaven.

He took the entire family from the peasants to the nobles.

Therefore, Juyan is a large army camp.

People here, as long as men, will be exposed to various weapons from the age of six, and their parents and uncles will teach various techniques and tactics.

At the age of twenty, you can try to join the army.

Then, use your life to exchange for military merits, rewards and titles.

In the past, this path has been smooth.

Moreover, a group of lucky people will appear every year, bringing their family's chickens and dogs to heaven, and from then on, they will become generals and officials of the empire. Even if they are not good, they can save enough money and titles to allow their families to live a comfortable life.

Even if you die in battle or be injured, you can get quite a lot of money. For ordinary families, it may be equivalent to a huge amount of income of ten or even twenty years.
