The bellies of the women around me are getting bigger and bigger, and the children around them are getting bigger and bigger.

Wang Lanling itself is also in the growth period, and Xiao Aluo and other children also play every day when they are full, sleep when they are tired of playing, and eat when they wake up, and they grow faster than the wheat in the field.

Looking at Xiao Aluo, who was grazing on the lawn with a lamb, and a few little boys who were riding on a big goat and being led by others to run away, Wang Lanling thought about the detailed plan for attacking Mustang Ridge this time.

These things have been prepared for a long time, especially this time, all kinds of things are for this concession, and now the people of the entire Shanhai County know that after harvesting the wheat, they will launch an expedition to fight the horse bandits.

"Daddy, when can I fly a kite?"

Ah Luo doesn't like lambs that much anymore and now wants to fly kites.

Wang Lanling didn't know where Ah Luo knew the word kite, and he didn't take out the kite in front of Ah Luo.

"Where did Arlo learn about kites?" Wang Lanling is very curious, for this little daughter, who is also the eldest daughter, she still has some preference.

Ah Luo said loudly: "It was my mother who told me, and my mother said that Daddy, you went to fly a kite, and the kite is a very high paper pigeon that can fly!" Daddy, what is a paper pigeon? ”

Although there was a lot of paper on the table in front of Wang Lanling, it was a document with a lot of things written, but after being asked about this by her daughter, she still found a piece of scratch paper.

"So, I'll fold one for you."

Little Arlo soon lay on the table with her hands on her feet, standing on her toes and looking at the papers on the table.

Wang Lanling's hand is unlucky, and he hasn't played this for many years, and what comes out of the end is a triangular simple paper airplane.

As for the paper pigeon...... It doesn't matter anymore.

Wang Lanling stood up and gently threw the paper airplane in his hand along the wind.

The small plane only flew three or four meters and then stuck on the grass with one tilt, not giving Wang any face.

Xiao Aluo's eyes lit up, and he quickly trotted over, squatted on the ground and picked up the small plane, and then ran back and handed it to Wang Lanling.

"Daddy, here you go~"

Wang Lanling still had something to do, so he took the paper airplane and said: "I still have things to do now, and Uncle Gongyue will come over to discuss things with me, so I can only play with you for a while!" ”

Little Aluo nodded obediently.

Wang Lanling reluctantly threw the paper airplane out again, and the little girl in open crotch pants happily ran out to pick up things on the grass.

The happiness of children is still very simple, and a ball can be played for a long time.

At present, we can't make toys such as leather balls, but we can make things like tin frogs and bamboo dragonflies.

Little Ah Luo hadn't been playing for long before the little boys such as Rengui and Boyan came down from the goat.

Big goats are not fun at all, especially in the summer when the weather is hot, and the little ones in open crotch pants will be sweating profusely when they hold the big goats for a while.

If there were no other toys, the little ones could have continued to ride the goats, but when they saw Arlo and Daddy playing something very fun, they quickly came over to take a kick.

These little boys still need to be taken care of, so they don't know how to take care of their younger sister and accommodate their younger sister.

"That's all for today, I still have to do something, you guys have been playing outside long enough, go into the house, or you'll be tanned into a little black pig."

Wang Lanling did not continue to play with the children, for the sake of the children's bodies, he drove the reluctant little ones back to the house.

Although the weather here is refreshing and not so hot, the sun is not small, and it is not unusual for Muzhou people to have dark skin.

After waiting for a few minutes, Gong Yueman, Tong Yue, Fang Xuan, Hu Zhong and others came over.

"Sit down, I played with the little girl for a while just now, and I thought of the matter over there in the welfare home, and tomorrow I will send some grain and meat over to make up some nutrition for the children there."

The welfare home is a place set up by Wang Lanling, not a department, but a place where a few lonely widows and widows who have died and have no children gathered, mainly to take care of some children.

For example, the little babies who go to work in the factory and don't have time to take care of them, or the children of one or two years old, or some older children, all play and grow there.

The school is still in a courtyard in the city, and there are a lot of things going on these days, and the new school can only be next year.

Gong Yueman said: "Although this matter is a benevolent and righteous act, as far as I know, there are many people who covet this trouble, obviously have the spare energy to take care of the children, and let the children go there to eat and drink for nothing." ”

Wang Lanling thought for a while and said: "I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing at the moment, we have too few people on our side, and it is not easy to correctly guide the future of these children, but at least it is much stronger than those parents." ”

"If those people are willing to send their children to us, then we will take good care of them."

Gong Yueman still felt that this matter was a little bad, but this time it was mainly about the war to discuss, and since Wang Lanling was willing to give some beneficial benefits to his subordinates, he was not good at objecting.

The food problem is not a problem, Gong Yueman thinks so.

For a long time, only Wang Lanling has attached importance to the food issue, and if it were not for Wang Lanling's emphasis on the importance of the land red line and various grain crops, then there would not be so many people who farm here.

"My lord, there is only one dirt road that is not considered a road between us and Yema Ridge, of which you can take the official road about halfway, and the rest is to take the mountain road, even the official road is not easy to walk because of the wind and rain."

Fang Xuan quickly said: "I have already investigated several roads leading to Mustang Ridge on horseback, and I have found two roads so far, but they are not suitable for wheels to pass through. ”

Not everything can be called a road, if the cattle and horses can't go up, then the road is equivalent to being wasted.

Wang Lanling said: "The army also needs to be trained, and the land march must also be used to this kind of thing, this will be said later, this time it is still mainly cavalry troops, and artillery and other things are transported by the follow-up troops." ”

"In terms of vanguard, hand it over to Fang Xuan and defeat those horse thieves' spies and secret posts in advance."

Fang Xuan agreed: "Yes! At present, the Mustang Ridge side does not know what is happening on our side, and it is estimated that we will deal with them. ”

Wang Lanling looked at Tong Yue: "It's okay with guns, right?" While there is still some time, you should also practice your head accurately, and don't be reluctant to use bullets. ”

Tong Yue showed an embarrassed look, "There are not many bullets at the moment, if you use it often, don't be enough when the time comes." ”

Wang Lanling said: "In the final analysis, it is still a matter of poverty, whether it is people or money, our side is not as good as Heishui County, but it will get better slowly." ”

"I'm going to cover our troops with fire this time, but the fire is a fire, and I will still have to face those bandits when the time comes."

"It is not my wish to kill, but what is necessary must be done, and if the bandits in this land are not eliminated, the people living in this land will not be at peace."

Zhao Gongqian said: "We also know that we are going to kill those bandits, but there are a lot of bandits in Yemaling, and those people are not radishes in the ground. ”

After opening his mouth, Zhao Gongqian continued: "I have learned some things this time, and the horse bandits here are lawless, just like last time we got three, and the result was three thousand. ”

"Now we can't catch them all over there in Wild Horse Ridge, and the people there are all outlaws, once they run away, it's a bad thing for our side, where is the reason for a thousand days to prevent thieves?"

Zhao Gongqian wanted to talk about Wang Lanling a long time ago, and he had to come to this poor country to suffer if he had a good life.

Even if you beat the horse bandits, you've been tossing around all the time.

Of course, the main thing is his sister's business.

didn't become his own family, so he naturally cared about this matter all day long, and he was a little mindful in his heart.

Zhao Gongqian's own sister is Zhao Gongru, and his half-sister is Zhao Wenrou.

The Zhao family and the Zhao family are one family, but they are not of the same mind.

Wang Lanling knew who Zhao Gongqian was, and said calmly: "Do you think those who will retaliate in private really have the courage to be my enemy?" ”

Zhao Gongqian was about to speak, but Zhao Liangyan next to him stepped on him and told him to shut up.

"My lord, I think my lord is now powerful, and those little ones don't dare to offend you." Zhao Liangyan spoke quickly, alleviating the unhappiness brought by Zhao Gongqian.

Wang Lanling was not angry, and explained: "It's too incompetent to be afraid of retaliation, I know the considerations of many small families, if I don't have my current status, just an ordinary person, I'm also afraid." ”

"I know that everyone is afraid of the revenge of those murderers, the wicked, and I understand this thought."

"It's a common idea that more is better than less, but ah, what do you think we are?"

Wang Lanling looked at everyone, "First of all, I want to make it clear that we are violent machines, and at the foundation of benevolence and righteousness, we are the departments that enforce violence, binding force, and enforcement power. ”

"How can we allow the common people to be afraid of those outside of us? How can we allow some organizations and individuals to offend our majesty? ”

"Those people dare to take revenge on us because they don't understand the fate of offending us."

Zhao Liangyan quickly said: "Yes! What adults teach is that! ”

Wang Lanling said helplessly: "I didn't mean to teach you a lesson, everyone is a person who does things together after all, and I know that you have worked hard during this time." ”

"Shanhai County is not a good place here, but in the past year, from being poor and white to now, every family has new clothes, every household has surplus grain, the streets of this city, the supplies at home, not to mention the general towns in Shangyun Prefecture."

"I think this time next year, this place will become a big place that does not lag behind Heishui County, and it will get better and better in the future."

After a pause, Wang Lanling said again: "Now the imperial court is not strict, if someone really doesn't like this place and really wants to go back, then I can also help him go back, but after going back, there is no way to come back." ”

The channel from Muzhou to Yunzhou actually existed a long time ago.

As early as five years ago, when Muzhou's caravan went to Heishui County, there were many descendants of pioneers disguised as slaves and mixed into Yunzhou's household registration.

In recent years, after being able to do business, it has become more relaxed.

The imperial court also turned a blind eye to this kind of thing, not that it didn't know, but it just didn't want to care.

From the beginning to the end, the imperial court was not opposed to immigration, but it was not for some people who were unable to resettle, and did not want those who lived in the frontier to return on a large scale.

As long as it's petty theft, and a large population is still thriving there, it's not a big deal to sneak some people back.

Zhao Gongqian didn't want to go back, he was still a small boss here, and he was nothing when he went back, of course he didn't want to go back.

For people like Zhao Gongqian, Wang Lanling is very calm, this kind of person is indispensable everywhere.

Wang Lanling continued: "Continue to discuss the matter of Yema Ridge, there are several roads between Yema Ling and Savage Town, and those who rely on us can't stop these, I learned about the battle plan of the officers and soldiers to capture and plunder the alien races when I was in school, mainly to divide the battlefield with the impact of cavalry, and to create a chaotic situation with fire to provide cover. ”

Wang Lanling quickly discussed military matters with the rest of the people, and Zhao Gongqian was still in charge of the city's affairs this time.

Zhao Gongqian doesn't know much about military matters, he mainly manages money matters.

Everyone discussed for more than three hours, and in the evening, several people went back to the county town to deal with the matter at hand.

Zhao Liangyan didn't leave, and after the rest of the people left, he said to Wang Lanling: "My lord, he is not sensible, because everyone is a family, it may be too casual, I will talk about him well when I go back." ”

Zhao Liangyan is the oldest, older than Zhao Wenjian and Zhao Wenrou.

Wang Lanling said gently: "I don't really care about this, it's just that his problem is not just a bad temper, the most important thing is the problem of business ability, to be honest, I don't hide it from you, I really want to send their sister and brother back to Yunshui County." ”

Zhao Liangyan was shocked, "My lord, can't you open the net?" ”

Wang Lanling said with relief: "I don't have any malicious intentions, but Zhao Gongru has also delayed for a long time, whether it is me or gentle, I have delayed her for a long time, so I will hand over the textile factory in Heishui County to her as a dowry, he is not suitable for me, and I also hope that she can find a good family in Yunshui County." ”

Hearing Wang Lanling say this, Zhao Liangyan could only say helplessly: "Since the adult has already made a decision, then I won't say more, if there is anything, even if the adult commands, thank you for saying this directly to me." ”

Compared with Zhao Gongqian, Zhao Liangyan is much more stable.

Wang Lanling said: "Zhao Gongqian himself doesn't have much of a problem, this time the main reason is that I don't want to delay Zhao Gongru anymore, and I will send them back to their parents after the war." ”

Zhao Liangyan had a doubt and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with Zhao Gongru?" ”

Wang Lanling smiled and said, "She has no problem, she is beautiful and sensible, but she is ...... I can't say that I feel anything, I just feel that everyone is a relative, but I can't let go. ”

Zhao Liangyan paused, he didn't understand...... I really don't understand, and I want to ask Wang Lanling why he can accept Xu Baifeng, but he refuses to accept Zhao Gongru.

Isn't that also a relative?
