Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Just when Lin Yu was thinking about whether to go himself or send someone, Mr. Ji pulled Zhang Chenglong over and volunteered to go and lobby.

It was precisely because Lin Yu wiped out two large bandit dens at once these two times that his reputation spread. Coupled with the previous reputation of Mr. Ji and Zhang Chenglong, this lobbying was effective from the beginning.

The benefits offered by Lin Yu were very tempting, although it seemed a bit like empty promises so far. However, not everyone wanted to be a thief forever. Now that there was someone who could let them live a normal life and lead them to dominate the world in troubled times, what was there to be unwilling about? On the same day, several small strongholds expressed their surrender.

Lin Yu was naturally very happy. Although the combined population of these strongholds was only 500, for Daliang City, even a mosquito leg was still meat. What he lacked was manpower. Now that he had them, it was a good start. Was he still worried that he couldn't take down the other strongholds?

But how to make other strongholds surrender? Lin Yu felt that the story strategy he had learned was very suitable.

So, after Lin Yu waited until these strongholds were settled, he specially and warmly entertained the leaders of the strongholds, and everyone was very happy.

Lin Yu secretly asked Yan Ping to send people out to spread the word so that the remaining bandits would know the benefits of surrendering, and at the same time let them know what kind of person their lord is.

This not only accelerated the lobbying progress of Mr. Ji and his team, but also gave the refugees scattered around the area a direction to find a way out in Daliang City.

Lin Yu also asked Wei Liangyu, Zhang Chenghu, Zhang Tieniu, Li Feng and others to lead a team of people to the notorious bandit's nest to carry out a cleanup. The two-pronged approach yielded fruitful results.

Of course, the gold, silver and other materials confiscated were also very considerable. In order to demonstrate fairness and convince people that they would have meat to eat if they followed him, Lin Yu distributed the gold and silver as rewards to the people who built Daliang City, and also rewarded the soldiers who were suppressing bandits everywhere.

For a time, Daliang City was thriving, and the people's faces were no longer numb, but instead had long-lost smiles on their faces.

With hope in life, Lin Yu has won the hearts and minds of the people and received support from everyone.

Lin Yu knew that Daliang City might have attracted the attention of the imperial court. He needed to speed up, as he had only half a month at most. Because of Lin Yu's instructions, the Bai family had established secret contacts with two merchants in Wucheng and Yucheng, and their business had also made progress. Some news also began to spread into Daliang City. For Lin Yu, he was finally no longer isolated from the news.

Now that all the major mountain strongholds have surrendered, the population of Daliang City has increased and exceeded 10,000. All the mountain strongholds around Daliang City have disappeared, and the nearby refugees have settled in the city. Except for some bandits and spies from other countries, the bandits dare not approach, and Lin Yu asked Lao Liu to identify and eliminate the spies.

The construction of Daliang City is also changing day by day. The city defense is more solid, and there are fertile fields distributed throughout the city, so it can be self-sufficient even if it is besieged.

Of course, Lin Yu did not want to be controlled by others. Instead of waiting to be surrounded, it is better to take the initiative to attack. The soldiers can also improve their combat effectiveness and coordination through actual combat.

After thinking it over, Lin Yu called the two children over at night. These two children had been attending school with Tian Hong and the other children, and in their spare time, they trained with the soldiers. He also spent his busy time with Yan Ping's wife Qin Su, and he was really a little neglectful as a father.

"Dad, is there something wrong that you asked me and Yaya to come to the study together?" Hu Zi asked with his eyes wide open.

Lin Yu looked at the two children. In a short period of time, Hu Zi had become a handsome young man. Ya Ya did not have the frailty of a lady from a wealthy family. Instead, she enjoyed wielding spears and sticks like Wei Liangyu and the others. She was very heroic at a young age.

Lin Yu, feeling comforted in his heart, said: "Dad is planning to go out. The nearest town to our Daliang City is Fangcheng. If possible, Dad wants to bring Fangcheng under his command. That way, we won't have to worry about anyone coming to rob our fertile farmland in the suburbs."

"Dad, can we go together?"

"I can't do that this time, because I don't know the specific situation very well. We lack intelligence. I'm just trying this time, so I won't bring many people with me. You two should stay at home and follow your Aunt Qin Su."

Lin Yu was actually a little worried, so he also kept the group of orphan secret guards he had subdued recently. Although the training time was not long, he could still put them to use because of the indoctrination of his elixir skills. Loyalty was naturally guaranteed.

"Huzi, Yaya, Dad has left you secret guards. Take these two jade pendants and don't transfer them easily, okay?"

"I understand, Dad. We will be obedient and wait for you to come back."

Lin Yu felt relieved and took the two children back to his room to rest.

The next day, Lin Yu summoned all the officials and said, "Mr. Ji, I need to leave for a while. Fangcheng, the city closest to us, has been quiet. A few days ago, spies appeared in Daliang City. Our development has probably attracted other people's attention. Fangcheng is too close to us, and I have been feeling uneasy since there is no movement. Moreover, the suburban farmland is right between the two cities. If we can take Fangcheng, Daliang City will also be protected.

During this time, I'll have to trouble Mr. Ji and Li Cunshu to take charge of all matters concerning Daliang City. Zhang Tieniu and Zhang Chenghu will be in charge of the defense, and I'll be with Zhang Chenglong, Li Feng, Wei Liangyu, and the others."

Bai Sili suddenly said: "My lord, the two merchants who returned a few days ago brought news from Yucheng and Wucheng."

Lin Yu looked at Bai Sili and said, "Tell me about it."

"Yucheng is not far from the capital, and there's news that the imperial court is gathering troops to attack Wu. They're probably collecting food and troops from all the major towns. Wucheng is not far from Fangcheng, so we've heard some news about Fangcheng. It seems there's been a civil uprising in Fangcheng, and the city has been sealed off. The entire city of Wucheng has stepped up its security."

Lin Yu was at a loss for words. How could this imperial court be so unreliable? They only cared about the beginning and not the end, only focused on starting a war with their neighbor. Daliang City, right on the border with Mo Nan, had rebelled, and Fangcheng was also in danger, yet no one came down to stabilize the border. Aren't they really afraid of being attacked from behind? Did they have to fight this war? But this was also convenient for him. Lin Yu had no choice but to accept this opportunity. Otherwise, it would be so rude!

"Ahem. This is also true for the imperial court. It's an opportunity for us anyway. The Mo Nan Kingdom won't make any moves in the near future. We should hurry up and take Fangcheng into our hands."

Mr. Ji and Li Cunshu stood up and said respectfully, "Rest assured, my lord. We two will defend Daliang City. Now that Daliang City is back on track, all regulations have been implemented, and there is no shortage of supplies and food. I am confident that we can make Daliang City a brand new place."

Li Cunshu said, "My lord, although Fangcheng is not far away, the journey is difficult and dangerous. The world is unstable. We are close to the Monan Kingdom, so it is inevitable that some Hu people will cross the border and come to us. Moreover, my lord wants to capture Fangcheng, so please bring more men and the gunpowder you have people develop."

"Okay, rest assured, I'll take a thousand people with me. I'm not sure when I'll return. I'll be in your care here."

"Don't worry, my lord. We will definitely guard the base camp."
