Chapter 371: Return to Jinyang
Of course, Luoyang City will not be just these people, under the recommendation of Xu Wenyuan, Xue Deyin and others, the former Sui Dynasty Dali Qing Zhang Quan, Hongluqing Cui Shanfu, Wang Shichong's subordinate officials Du Yan when he was the Tai Lieutenant, Dugu Wudu, the head of the Sui Ma Army, Yang Gongshen, the former chief of Bohai County, Sun Shixiao, the head of the infantry, Liu Xiaoyuan, Li Jian, Cui Xiaoren; Xu Jingzong, the former Wagang general house, and Chen Zhiluo and Fan Wenchao, the generals of Wagang.
He also found Du Ruhui's brother Du Chuke and Li Houde, the elder brother of Li Yude, the assassin of Yinzhou, from among the detainees.
These are all high-level personnel, and there are many grassroots levels, so it can be said that they can manage and support Luoyang City at once.
It's just a little bit that makes Zou Yu unhappy, a huge Luoyang, with a population of only 50,000. At present, occupying Luoyang, it can only be defended as an important military base, which is a complete waste.
You don't need to look at the old Luocheng, you also know what the situation is, you can only be a military stronghold, Li Keshi guards the Yongfeng area, there is a bit of waste, this is a place to use, and the Luoyang area will be handed over to him.
Xue Wanche, Luo Shixin is the general equipped for Li Keshi, and the Fang family brothers, they also listen to Li Keshi's words very much, and they have to stay. Gao Biaoren, Di Zhijian, Di Zhiben, the three of them have been adapting for several months, and they happened to be transferred; Gao Biaoren replaced Zhang Gongjin to guard the pass, Di Zhijian, and Di Zhiben respectively served as the new and old Luoyang orders.
Originally, all the officials in Luoyang City were brought back to Jinyang, interned first, and then took office! After all, there is nothing to manage here in Luoyang, and it is too wasteful to keep so many officials. After they get used to it, they spend the winter, just in time to go to the newly occupied places to take office, or to fill the vacancies of Jinyang officials.
was busy until Li Keshi came, and Zou Yu forcibly stuffed Wang Shichong's concubine two to him, which can be regarded as making up for the hard work of the past few years.
Looking at Zou Yu who left with a smile, Li Keshi's heart warmed, in the past few years, he has been guarding one side, not in the center, he feels a little marginalized, and his heart is still a little unhappy, with this scene of not being an outsider, that unhappiness has long disappeared.
Zou Yu is still the same Zou Yu, the most trusted is still their group of people in Liaodong, which can be seen from the most important place to arrange guards, this is the tacit understanding in their hearts, no one complains, and no one complains!
silently supporting, Zou Yu believes in them, and they are also the same as back then, trusting and supporting, believing that Zou Yu will not treat them badly.
There is no need to worry about the safety of Luoyang for the time being, and when Jinyang's new artillery is delivered, it will be foolproof. This is also one of the reasons why Zou Yu is in a hurry to go back, after all, the progress of that thing makes him very worried.
In addition to the 3,000 personal guards, all the soldiers and horses were left to Li Keshi, Meng Jin and Neon Pass, Pei Yuanshao was transferred, Pei Yuanfu brothers were guarded, and Xin Wenli and others followed back to Jinyang.
Zou Yu did not go back directly, but took them to Youzhou first, visited Luo Yi, transferred to Pingzhou and gathered with Zhang Zhongjian for a few days, and the last stop was Zhulu Reservoir.
Along the way, whether it was a bumper harvest farm or an official road built, the people who followed it were surprised, and they could never have imagined that the north had developed like this! The blue brick house can be used for four horse-drawn carriages side by side on the road. Flocks of chickens and ducks on the farm, looking for food in the open space after the autumn harvest, fruit trees are in the forest, and the hills are hanging with fruits, and the red persimmons look very attractive!
I have never experienced this kind of large-scale planting, and I suddenly saw that the whole hill was full of the same kind of fruit trees, and this shock can be imagined!
Pingzhou mining area, although they can't see the secret things yet, but the coal mine that keeps being shipped out, as well as Zou Yu's three thousand personal guards, originally the armor and shield have been left in Luoyang, but they went to Pingzhou, and the next day they appeared fully armed, knowing that Pingzhou is a huge weapon production base. Only then did they understand why Dou Jiande was red-eyed and wanted to take here.
When I arrived at Zhulu, even though I was surprised enough along the way, I was still stunned by this huge reservoir.
After more than half a year of water storage, now the reservoir is full, climb up the mountain, see the sparkling blue waves, can not see the end at a glance, if not from the foot of the mountain climb up, but also thought to the big lake!
On the way here, I saw that the people were building a canal, and then I understood where the water of the canal came from!
"Chase the Deer Reservoir! It can provide water for the people in a radius of 100 miles! In the future, the people of this side will no longer be afraid of drought! Water is released at a fixed time every year, and watering is also very easy! Zou Yu proudly introduced.
"The prince is virtuous! The people of this party have benefited from this for thousands of years! Xu Wenyuan bowed and sighed.
"Lord Wang! Although the construction of reservoirs for the benefit of one party, we still have to pay attention to the people's power. Xue Deyin reminded euphemistically.
"Mr. Xue reminded you well! But rest assured, the people who came to build the reservoir were paid labor! There are also some prisoners of war captured in the war! Zou Yu smiled and nodded in thanks, and then explained aloud.
"Lord Wang! What is this thing built on? Why is it so smooth and flat! Bing Yuanzhen asked in surprise.
"It's called cement! The construction of the Zhulu Reservoir consumed hundreds of thousands of catties! And 300,000 catties of steel! The next step is to build a reservoir in Youzhou and Yizhou! It's just that this cement, steel is not even better, which is a headache. Zou Yu's cheeks twitched in pain.
"The prince is really admired by his subordinates! 300,000 catties of steel, how many soldiers do you have to equip this! Li Yuan and the others only want to compete for the world! But I don't know that you are already governing the world, who is better, don't ask. Bing Yuanzhen sighed.
"Yes! Whether it is Li Mi or Wang Shichong, none of them have spent any effort to govern the place! Along the way, even if it was peaceful and prosperous twenty years ago, it can't be compared! Xu Wenyuan shook his head and sighed.
Of course, Zou Yu would not tell them that even if he used 300,000 catties of iron to make weapons and armor, there were not so many people to equip them, not to mention how much food was needed to maintain so many troops, as far as those nomads, even the Xi people who followed first, he was not at ease to give too much armor.
Whether it is the Khitan or the Xi people, equip them, weapons can be given, helmets can be given, bows and arrows can also be given, but the iron armor must control the quantity.
As for repeating crossbows, stepping crossbows, muskets and artillery, they don't think about it, only the soldiers of the Central Plains can control it after selection.
Zou Yu, a soldier in the Central Plains, has always regarded gold as expensive, and there are few people in the north, so he doesn't want to be armed too much to fight.
No matter what Zou Yu thought, anyway, when the people who came with him heard about the 300,000 catties of steel, they were already shocked, and then they admired his mind very much.
"This kind of cement, must have steel to make reinforcements, to be strong enough, after all, this is a project related to thousands of years of people, sloppy! For this reason, the inventory has been exhausted, and the next time it will be at least in the second half of next year before construction can start!
But that's fine, a reservoir, plus a canal, can't be completely built without three or four years of effort! Just take advantage of the middle time to improve the ancillary works. Zou Yu introduced with some secret refreshment in his heart.
"No wonder I saw so many kilns in Youzhou, the prince should have started preparing in advance, right?" Xu Wenyuan touched his beard and asked.
"Yes, you have to prepare in advance, after all, there are so many materials needed! When enough cement is fired and enough stone is mined, the steel is almost enough. Zou Yu nodded.
"Lord Wang! What are those little reservoirs for? Bing Yuan really asked puzzled, pointing to the halfway up the mountain in the distance.
"Those are fish ponds! Around this reservoir, there are more than 200 fish ponds! The reservoir was built, and it had to be guarded, and it was not good to grow food on the mountain, so fish ponds were built in order to increase the income of the guards and prevent them from becoming too bored! On this mountain, fruit trees will have to be planted in the future. Zou Yu glanced at it and said.
"The prince is wise! After all, this is not a border, the meaning of guarding is only to prevent possible destruction, and the soldiers are more just patrolling, and there are things to do that are not too boring! Bing Yuanzhen nodded in agreement.
"Not only that, this relies on the reservoir and builds a fish pond, which is the smart place, and the subordinates guess that it must be more than this vicinity! Fish farming should be a big industry in the future! Du Chuke looked at Zou Yu with admiration and said.
"Not bad! Mr. Du saw that such a good water resource, it would be too wasteful not to engage in breeding! The purpose of the reservoir is not only to prevent drought, but also to benefit the people and make them prosperous. Zou Yu nodded and glanced at Du Chu appreciatively.
The Du family is worthy of being a family, whether it is Du Ruhui or Du Chuke, they are very good, but the relationship between Du Yan and Du Chuke seems to be a little poor, obviously they are uncles and nephews! However, Zou Yu didn't want to care about this kind of personal grievance.
Seeing that Du Chuke was very interested in people's livelihood and asked many questions about planting and breeding, Zou Yu also paid attention to it, and secretly decided to arrange for him to govern the place when he was familiar with it.
Zou Yu had the patience to introduce them at first, but then there were too many people who asked, so he was tired, so he simply ended the inspection and set off back to Jinyang, after all, Jinyang still has a lot of things to do. It's just that when he thinks of what he was waiting for back to Jinyang, Zou Yu has a headache, and he has to be busy again.
But whether you want to or not, you still have to face it, after all, this is the path you have chosen, even if it's a lump of what! I have to go with tears in my eyes... Lose!
Of course, Jinyang has more expectations in his heart, his wife and children are hot on the kang! That's the ultimate goal of a fight, isn't it?
Zou Yu has never thought that he is too diligent and too pursued, and along the way, it is like a providential arrangement, master! Celebrity! Star! Appear around and trust yourself. I was forced all the way to today, from the beginning to survive, to now I want to leave something for the world and the people around me!
Returning to Jinyang, that is, returning home, Zou Yu was a lot more happy physically and mentally, and all the newcomers were thrown into the secretary's supervisor and the military department!
Zou Yu returned home, closed the door, rested for three days, and accompanied his wife and children for three days, and then went out to work!
As soon as he went out, he regretted it, and secretly hated why he had placed his office in the palace with a twitch of his brain! This time I only take care of my family, and I have to pass this level in the palace!
Zou Yu touched his waist, frowned, and walked in. Smiling at the guards along the way, he nodded and came to the office area.
"Ahem!" Facing Fang Xuanling's smiling eyes, Zou Yu coughed dryly twice. After all, everyone knows what they're doing when they've been hiding at home for the past three days!
"The prince is finally here!" Fang Xuanling didn't say it, Fang Yanqian didn't have any worries, no matter how Zou Yu listened to it, there was some yin and yang weirdness.
But he can't do anything about this old man, not to mention other relationships, and he has nothing to worry about at this age.
"Hey, hey! The hard room is old! Zou Yu said with a sneer.
"Old man, what do I have to work for! That is, to come up with ideas! Running errands is done by someone else. Fang Yanqian didn't continue to wash him, shook his head and said.
For Zou Yu, of course Fang Yanqian will not be regarded as an outsider, he has always looked at his relatives, and he has seen Zou Yu step by step to this day, although he did not follow him to the battlefield, he still knows the danger of the battlefield, so he looked at Zou Yu with an extraordinarily kind look.
"This Turkic war! Dingxiangcheng captured 180,000 prisoners, of which 50,000 were young and strong; 110,000 people were relocated from the Lost Division, of which 30,000 were young and strong; Youzhou also arrested more than 10,000 people along the way. How to settle these has to be taken by the prince. Fang Xuanling took out a piece of paper and handed it to Zou Yu and said.
"So much!" 300,000 people frightened Zou Yu. The battle report only recorded the big victory, killing the enemy and losing it, probably because he didn't want to be distracted, so Fang Xuanling temporarily suppressed these things.
"Yes! This one is not handled well, but it is easy to make trouble, and it is impossible to let the people who have just been subdued deviate from morality, which is too cost-effective. Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly.
"Where are these people now?" Zou Yu asked.
"Puzhou has settled the Lost Tribe! Dingxiang is still in the Hetao! Youzhou, as before, arranged to go to the Pingzhou mining area. There are also 20,000 young people who surrendered with Zhizhi Sili, but they did not belong to the Zhizhi tribe, and temporarily stayed in Honghua in the name of requisition. Fang Xuanling replied.
"Have you ever consulted for advice?" Zou Yu asked.
He believed that during this time, Fang Xuanling and the others must have discussed it, which was also the meaning of his setting up the Hall of Heroes and the Hall of Heroes! It's just to let them come up with ideas and brainstorm ideas!
"The current plan: it is to settle here, and the only trouble is to Honghua 20,000 Turks! There are opinions that it will be resettled in the inner city of Liaodong; There are also opinions that Ren Ran will be handed over to the Zhiwan tribe and managed together; There is also an opinion that it is to be resettled in Yanmen County. Fang Xuanling introduced.
"No! There are many Goguryeo people in the domestic cities, and there are many Turkic people in the past, which is easy to cause chaos; Unable to make a tribe alone; As for Yanmen County, it is already enough in itself, if it is resettled, wouldn't it be from Taiyuan to Dingxiang, there are Turkic people all the way, and they will be connected! Once there is chaos, the consequences are unimaginable. Zou Yu thought about it and shook his head slightly.
