"No, why did we come to Youzhou City?”
On this day, Yun Buhen came to Youzhou City with his mother.
He didn't tell his mother that Yun Buhen had become the Youzhou Provincial Governor. He wanted to give his mother a surprise today.
After all, he had become the Youzhou Provincial Governor, which would bring honor to his ancestors. He believed that his mother would be happy.
"Mother, I'll give you a surprise later.”
Yun Buhen said with a smile.
Zhangsun Yun was very puzzled, but since Yun Buhen didn't say anything, she didn't ask.
Not long after, Yun Buhen and Li Yuanba arrived outside Youzhou City with their mother, Zhangsun Yun.
At this moment, there were many people outside Youzhou City.
"Weird, what's wrong with Youzhou City today? Why are there so many people outside?”
Zhangsun Yun was very curious. When Yun Buhen was bedridden, she would come to Youzhou City to sell coarse cloth every day. However, they had never seen so many people gathering outside Youzhou City like today.
When the three of them got closer, they finally saw clearly that it was an army gathered outside Youzhou City!
It looked like there were at least ten thousand of them!
Such a large cavalry force was probably the only one in the Great Tang. All of the Great Tang's cavalry numbered around one hundred thousand.
However, that was the sum of all the cavalry units. If it was a single unit, it would be very rare to have more than 10,000.
"Greetings, Provincial Governor!"
Shen Wansan, who was standing in front of the army, bowed to Yun Buhen.
The cavalrymen behind him also raised their spears and greeted him loudly.
At this moment, his mother, Zhangsun Yun, was completely stunned. What was going on? How did Yun Buhen become the Youzhou Provincial Governor in the blink of an eye?
For the past half a month, Yun Buhen had been accompanying him at home and had never gone out. However, how could he suddenly become the provincial governor of Youzhou Province?
Yun Buhen revealed a faint smile. A few days ago, Shen Wansan had completed the handover of Youzhou City on behalf of Yun Buhen.
Back then, Shen Wansan had left ten thousand warhorses for Yun Buhen. Yun Buhen gritted his teeth and exchanged the last of his money for ten thousand cavalry.
Currently, Yun Buhen had a total of thirteen thousand cavalry troops.
Youzhou was at the northern border and was often plundered by the foreign races outside the pass. Therefore, there were the fewest clans here. With the support of thirteen thousand cavalrymen, he took over Youzhou Province in a few days.
Currently, the entire Serenity Plains was roughly controlled by Yun Buhen.
"Wan San, you did well."
Yun Buhen said with a smile.
Shen Wansan bowed respectfully, then led Yun Buhen and the others into Youzhou City.
After arriving at the Provincial Governor's Office, Yun Buhen settled his mother down and entered the Youzhou government office. Looking at his hands, only Li Yuanba and Shen Wansan were sitting, Yun Buhen sneered.
"This Li Shiming is really petty. I'm afraid that he's just giving Youzhou Province to me for nothing.”
Shen Wansan nodded.
"The previous Youzhou Provincial Governor was under Li Shiming's command. Not only did they leave, but they also emptied the officials and the treasury.”
Yun Buhen nodded. This was actually something that could be expected.
However, Yun Buhen was already prepared.
Although there were few major clans in Youzhou City, there were still some. Yun Buhen had already asked Shen Wansan to secretly investigate.
These few days, he had been cleaning up these aristocratic families. As long as they were harmful, they were all wiped out by Yun Buhen.
Presumably, they would contribute some money to Yun Buhen to build Youzhou City.
"Wansan, how much wealth did the great clans confiscate?”
Yun Buhen asked.
When Shen Wansan heard this, he immediately smiled.
"Young Master, you would never have thought that the great clans in this remote Youzhou would be so rich!”
Yun Buhen was curious.
Shen Wansan continued.
"There were only a dozen or so great clans, but in the end, they confiscated more than ten million gold!”
Yun Buhen was stunned. The ten million gold here was not just money, but also all kinds of treasures. For example, calligraphy, jade, and so on. The entire wealth of more than a dozen aristocratic families was actually so much?
What kind of concept was this? All of this was comparable to the Great Tang's current treasury!
No wonder Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty wanted to deal with the great clans. These great clans were indeed too powerful and had the power to topple a country.
If the major clans in Youzhou City had so much wealth, what about the five families and seven Wangs? Their own wealth was probably comparable to a country, right?
"Wansan, gather all of this wealth together. This provincial governor is going to overturn the entire Youzhou Province!”
Yun Buhen's eyes gleamed as he spoke. He was a person, if he didn't do it, he wouldn't do it. Since he was going to do it, he had to do it to the best of his ability.
Since he had become the Provincial Governor of Youzhou, he would naturally make Youzhou prosperous.
"Yes, my lord!"
Serenity Plains was currently Yun Buhen's private property. Therefore, these confiscated money belonged to Yun Buhen alone.
