In the ninth year of Daye, Yang Guang was defeated again. This was related to Yang Xuangan's rebellion, but Su Fan knew that he could not capture Fu Cailin or send people to stop Fu Cailin. Yang Guang could not break the capital of Goguryeo no matter what. At most, it would cause some casualties to Goguryeo.
But this has nothing to do with Su Fan. He is hiding here in Wu County, practicing martial arts peacefully, and gathering batches of refugees when nothing happens.
Because of his actions, a large number of refugees in Yangzhou came to Wu County.
In just a few months, 70,000 to 80,000 refugees arrived in Wu County.
Of course, the consequence was that it was not enough to squeeze out the government office. For this reason, he also borrowed grain from several powerful people. It was unclear whether he should pay it back.
In Su Fan's words, he borrowed it based on the name of the Yuwen family. Why should he pay it back? His surname is Su.
Of course, I guess it's impossible for those companies to let him pay it back.
On the contrary, Su Fan asked people to open up wasteland, which aroused criticism from some powerful people. However, Su Fan asked Ren Tong to lead hundreds of private soldiers to annihilate two bandits around Wuxian County, and these criticisms suddenly disappeared.
Although there are powerful people here in Wu County, they are not very powerful. There are one or two second-rate masters in the family who can stand up to the sky.
But they don't dare to fight with hundreds of elite soldiers. Unless your strength reaches the first level, you can charge into the battle with a thousand horses. The second rate is not enough, and the martial arts warriors are even weaker when facing the battlefield.
After a lot of bandit suppression and intimidation, Wu County was completely in the hands of Su Fan. Su Fan did not move rashly on the powerful manor sites around the city. He just went to the villages and towns to open up wasteland.
It only gave the refugees a way to survive. Of course, it also recruited some people to join the army. Almost all of these refugees who fled from the north to Yangzhou were adults and strong, and the old and weak died on the way.
If there is enough food, Su Fan can raise an army of tens of thousands in an instant.
Of course, Su Fan would not do this.
He once again selected 800 strong men from the tens of thousands of refugees to join his private army, leading the young with the old, and letting them practice the basic physical training techniques that Su Fan had inherited.
They even asked Ren Tong and Huang Quan to educate these people.
“It’s time to make money”
The governor's mansion was out of money, so he couldn't just send people to rob those powerful men. It wasn't because he was afraid, but because he didn't have time.
But when it comes to making money, it is really not difficult for Su Fan. After all, in the last martial arts world, Su Fan could be said to be as rich as the enemy in the end.
His status in this life is even better than the last one. Many things that he was originally afraid of, he does not need to be afraid of at all in this life.
Salt and iron are definitely the most profitable business.
So Su Fan immediately focused on salt. The east of Wu County was the sea.
Su Fan naturally understands the technology of salt and iron.
And because of his identity, there is no need to be afraid. Even the Dongming Sect dares to engage in the weapons business, so Su Fan is naturally not afraid.
When it came to craftsmen and people, he just said one word, and the people below quickly broke their legs and finished it for him.
He handed over the method of making sun salt from sea salt to Ren Tong and gave him 400 people. Then he took a group of craftsmen and two thousand refugees and went to the seaside.
However, steel is more troublesome. There is no iron ore in Wu County. Even if iron and steel are made, iron ore needs to be brought from other places.
Therefore, Su Fan focused more on making salt, and also arranged some craftsmen to start working on glass manufacturing.
Glass is definitely a big killer. In the last martial arts world, Su Fan also tried it, but at that time, glass was already on the market, and the price was no longer an expensive luxury.
But now this is the Sui and Tang Dynasties, colored glaze is very expensive, and glass is not inferior at all.
With these two items, Su Fan is no longer short of money. Besides, he has no intention of competing for hegemony. As long as he maintains Wu County, he may be able to take over Yuhang County surrounding Wu County in the future.
As for Jiangdu, there is no need for him to take action in the future. In fact, Jiangdu today is also in the hands of the Yuwen family. The tens of thousands of soldiers who defend the city in Jiangdu are all under the control of the Yuwen family.
It's just a pity that a good hand of cards was beaten to pieces by the Yuwen family.
Yu Wenhuaji, whether in history or in this world, is still not a good commander, let alone a monarch, his ability is extremely poor.
Compared to Li Yuan, there is really a big difference. Otherwise, why did he fail as he was one of the four great clans and occupied the southern land.
You know, almost all of Yangzhou was controlled by the Yuwen family at that time. In the Jianghuai area, Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing and Li Zitong were not very powerful.
Especially in this world, masters can sometimes determine the outcome of a battle, such as the Evil King Yin Hou and others. They want to kill the enemy defenders in the midst of thousands of troops. There are no masters of the same level or several lower level to resist them. It's really hard to block their assassination.
Not to mention the Grand Master, Yang Guang's million-strong army attacked Goguryeo three times without success, which was because of Fu Cailin.
There are many masters in the Yuwen family. Grandmaster Yuwen Shang and the four major masters are at least first-class masters in the family. Unfortunately, they still can't succeed.
It can be seen that the ability is really not enough.
He also tends to be arrogant and arrogant.
He was speechless about the Yuwen family, but his current identity could not be changed no matter what.
Of course, he is not afraid. Now his strength is comparable to the best in the world. Unless a master like the Evil King comes to kill him, otherwise, even if he is a top-notch person, he will probably not be able to pose much of a threat to him. .
It had only been two years, and his martial arts skills were no longer as good as blood training.
Su Fan's martial arts realm started with training the skin, changing the tendons, and forging the bones, and then he trained the blood and tempered the five internal organs.
As for what realms there will be in the future, he needs to slowly deduce it. After all, in the last martial arts world, he obtained the outer body refining technique, and even only reached the point of changing the muscles and forging the bones. He trained the blood and tempered the five internal organs. After arriving in the main world, I relied on the evolution space and constant deductions to figure it out.
As for the follow-up, without new body-training techniques, I am afraid it will take longer to slowly develop them.
The evolution space is not omnipotent, and the realm of martial arts cannot be evolved out of thin air. Everything needs to be based on martial arts and then evolved and deduced.
So Su Fan was also ready to start searching for some martial arts and internal martial arts methods from this world. He didn't pay much attention to them. After all, he majored in physical martial arts in this life.
Fortunately, the martial arts in this world are even more brilliant, and there are indeed many body-training methods from the outer sects of martial arts in the military.
What Ren and Tong practiced was battlefield martial arts. Of course, it was better than what he got from the previous world, but it was far inferior to the "Five Elements Strengthening Technique" that he had smelted.
