"Uncle Zhang, you forgot that you can use coal to burn bricks to build a city. And we don't need to build a big city, like the Liaodong Ranch, build a small Wubao for every few pastures, and then build a big city for dozens of Wubao. Zou Yu explained.

"It's a good solution, but there are a lot of people who need to be relocated." Zhang Zhongjian said.

"I have some ideas about this, the grassland is not as barren as we think, and there are a lot of minerals buried underground." Zou Yu touched a little whisker at the corner of his mouth, and said thoughtfully.

"If you have an idea, it's good." Zhang Zhongjian looked at Zou Yu, who was becoming more and more mature, and nodded and smiled with a hint of relief in his heart.

"There's no urgency in this matter, I have to lay down the grassland, and my expectation is to see the situation after next year. At present, there is one thing that has to trouble you, Uncle Zhang. Zou Yu said apologetically.

"Haha, what are you polite to me, just say something." Zhang Zhongjian laughed loudly.

"This winter has fought the Turks, and it is unlikely that they will attack in a big way next year, but Dou Jiande needs to be guarded against." Zou Yu explained.

"You want me to guard Beiping County?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

"Yes, there is General Xue Wanshu in Yizhou, and then transfer Qin to go, you can be assured, and then ask the general of the Yin Shishi to go to manage the overall situation after the year, but Beiping County has now become a mining area, and there is no room for loss, now only Uncle Zhang will go, I can rest assured." Zou Yu continued to explain.

"Huh! Hourly, since you believe in Uncle Zhang, of course Uncle Zhang will not refuse. Zhang Zhongjian said with a hearty smile.

Zhang Zhongjian was very happy that Zou Yu respected him in private, and felt that he had not seen the wrong person.

And Zou Yu has always had a feeling for his elders for Zhang Zhongjian, and it can be said that Zhang Zhongjian is one of the few people he trusts the most, which stems from Zhang Zhongjian's care and help to him.

Especially the grace of saving his life on the way to escape at the beginning, and the later teaching of martial arts and taking the lead in promoting him as the leader, if it wasn't for Zhang Zhongjian, how could others recognize his leadership from the beginning.

"I'm sorry I haven't given you a good rest all these years." Zou Yu said apologetically.

"Haha! You really want me to stay at home and enjoy happiness, I'm afraid I'm not used to it, this life is not exciting! Zhang Zhongjian said with a smile indifferently.

Zhang Zhongjian is also a person who is not willing to be ordinary, he doesn't care much about status, but he must be wonderful and can't be restricted too much, which Zou Yu has met his wishes, and never points fingers at the place he guards.

Of course, Zhang Zhongjian is only interested in the military, and he never interferes in people's livelihood, unless Zou Yu asks him to do something, he will supervise people to handle it.

"Uncle Zhang's demeanor is really admirable to Xiao Yu, if you can learn from you as free and easy, it is also a kind of comfort." Zou Yu looked at Zhang Zhongjian, who was full of energy and spirits, and said enviously.

"Huh! You can't learn from me, you have everyone's hopes on your shoulders now, don't let everyone down. Zhang Zhongjian reminded with a soft smile.

"With Uncle Zhang's help, you will definitely not disappoint everyone, if there is anything to do in the future, please remind Uncle Zhang." Zou Yu relaxed his mind and said firmly with a smile on his face.

"Subordinates obey!" Zhang Zhongjian smiled and bowed solemnly.

"Alas! Uncle Zhang, why are you so angry, and there are no outsiders. Zou Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Zhongjian.

"Don't waste your courtesy!" Zhang Zhongjian shook his head firmly, then looked at Zou Yu, gently supported his shoulder, and continued to say seriously: "Xiao Yu, this is the last time Uncle Zhang calls you like this, Uncle Zhang knows that you are a person who values feelings, which is a good thing, which makes everyone follow you, and there will be a lot less worries in their hearts, and they will be much more relieved, but this is also a weakness, the path you have to take, different from others, some things, you must not be soft-hearted." ”

"Xiao Yu understands, he must keep it in mind!" Zou Yu nodded gratefully.

He understood what Zhang Zhongjian meant, and now there are not only many families behind him, but also many old friends who have followed him since Liaodong, newly recruited scholars and generals. The facts are pushing him to that supreme position, and there is no way back, after all, his power is too great, and he is already one of the biggest forces in the world at present.

If Zou Yu wants to take a step back, others may still have a way to live, but he definitely doesn't, after all, there are so many people with his mark on their bodies, this is any force, and they will not tolerate such an existence under their subordinates.

"Ahem! It stands to reason that others can't interfere in your private life, but that person's identity is different after all, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with in the future! Zhang Zhongjian coughed dryly twice and reminded implicitly.

"Uh-huh!" Zou Yu understood what he was referring to, whether Rao was thick-skinned enough, or blushing, and nodded awkwardly.

Zhang Zhongjian is talking about Concubine Wei, because every time Zou Yu enters the palace, Concubine Wei will drive away the palace maids and eunuchs, so although it seems to be private, I don't know what the two are doing, but this is completely covering up and stealing the bell.

Lonely men and widows, often like this, naturally there are gossips, spread out, after all, we like to watch and talk about gossip, this is a habit of ours.

It's just that this kind of thing, naturally no one dares to talk about it in front of Concubine Wei, and the happy woman, whose IQ has dropped significantly, or knows it clearly, is like a moth to a fire, even if she is broken, she will not give up.

Fortunately, Zhang Zhongjian did not continue to talk about this topic, and the two began to do follow-up work for the soldiers in front.

This time, he gathered men and horses and sent troops to the grassland. Deliberately waiting until mid-November to send troops was also considered. Some time ago there was a big war, and the Turks must be vigilant.

Now that they have sent troops to confront Dou Jiande, the Turks must know the news, Liu Renliang's dog team, which went to sweep the periphery, is likely to be retaliated by the Turks in front of anger, and now they are withdrawn, so that they can be stable for a while, plus it is already winter, and the snow is falling, so naturally the vigilance will drop.

If there is one good thing in Liaodong, it is mink! Mink fur is a good warm clothes, and mink oil is a good thing to prevent frostbite.

In recent years, Liaodong has had a complete set of experience in winter warfare, clothes, boots, hats, scarves, wrapped tightly, snow rakes pulled by people, and moved as quickly.

When they went out of the camp, they dug a big pit in the snow and surrounded the tents, and several tents were surrounded in a circle, so that the wind was carried on their backs, and there was a square coal stove, and the coal was put on the rack, and the smoke was drawn out with bamboo tubes.

The best is the military rations, raise a fire, use a helmet to cook a helmet of snow water, after boiling, wrap it with leaves, a piece of multigrain powder, pour it in, stir it, and you can eat it after a while, because it is added with meat grains and animal oil, so it can not only satisfy hunger, but also taste quite fragrant.
