Guo Song finally did not wait for the special approval of the imperial court, everything was still solved by himself, first of all, the Liangzhou army was in arrears for three months, Guo Song used the money confiscated from the Luo family, paid 110,000 yuan of military expenses, and took out 45,000 taels of silver to appease more than 4,000 captured Tang soldiers, the imperial court no longer had their military status, Guo Song incorporated them into the Tuntian Division and the Animal Husbandry Division, responsible for Tuntian, planting grapes and raising cattle and sheep.

The second batch of more than 6,000 young and strong Han men were released by the Shatuo people, and at the same time, Shatuo also handed over 300,000 sheep to Tingzhou City, Guo Song released Shatuo prisoners of war and Zhu Xie Shenglu, and the two sides officially completed the prisoner exchange.

That morning, Guo Song arrived with more than 20 officials in the southern part of Ganzhou, an agricultural area with hundreds of villages, many of which had been abandoned due to population migration, and now more than 10,000 people will be resettled in these villages, and each family will have land.

Guo Song has carried out a large number of people resettlement in Fengzhou, and he has a lot of experience, and he is ready to hand over this matter to Cao Wannian to take full responsibility.

From Zhangye to the south are endless grasslands, until the south of Ganzhou, close to the south bank of the weak water river in Liangzhou, only to see a large area of farmland and vineyards, here is the farming area of Ganzhou, the three major farming areas of the Hexi Corridor, one in Liangzhou, one in Shazhou, and one is here.

"Envoy, that's Gaochang Vineyard!" Pan Liao pointed to the large grape plantation road in the distance.

The soil, sunlight and water here are very suitable for growing grapes, and Gaochang grapes have become high-quality grapes for winemaking after more than ten years of improvement and adaptation, coupled with the snow water of Qilian Mountain, the quality of Zhangye wine is very good, and most of the wine market in Chang'an is occupied, Meishou wine only occupies the high-end market, and the largest mid-end market they have no wine source, Zhang Lei is anxious.

Guo Song nodded and said: "I am going to expand 100,000 acres of vineyards and turn some refugees into fruit farmers, the imperial court refuses to give us the whole army, I think carefully, to make up for the gap in military spending or to use the advantages of Ganzhou to make wine, not only to Chang'an, but also Luoyang, Chengdu and other states and counties, the demand should be great." ”

Next to him, Cao Wannian said with a smile: "The wish that Jun did not realize in Fengzhou has come true in Ganzhou." ”

Guo Song smiled bitterly: "No way, it was also forced, the festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty listened to the brilliance, but it was actually difficult to be, I now understand why the Shuofang army was only 7,000 people back then, but Duan Envoy Jun was calm, not in a hurry at all, there was no military pressure!" ”

Cao Wannian nodded and said: "Now Fengzhou just can't bear the pressure of military spending on the self-recruited army, and the self-recruited army is disbanded and returned to the field." ”

"Let's speed up and see the village ahead!" A village appeared ahead.

The crowd quickened their horses and ran to a small village in front of them.

.........

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is January of the following year, the second year of the establishment of the Tang Dynasty.

In the past two days, Guo Song has been quite restless, his wife Xue Tao has signs of expected delivery, and his child will be born in these two days.

In another world to become a father again, Guo Song didn't know whether to be excited or sad.

But at this time, he was in a very nervous mood, and he was pacing back and forth outside the delivery room, where three experienced midwives were delivering his wife's baby.

Guo Song is not only worried about children, but also about adults, last year he found that his wife's fetal position was not correct, and it took three months to slowly correct it, and he didn't know what would happen to the fetus?

Guo Song heard his wife's cries of pain from time to time, and heard the midwife constantly comforting her, half an hour has passed, why hasn't she given birth yet?

His heart was in a twitch, and he wanted to rush into the room.

Just then, there was a 'Wow! A cry, like a spring thunder, made the whole earth come alive in an instant.

"Raw! Raw! ”

A midwife rushed out and shouted, "Where's the hot water?" Come in. ”

The little fish lady and the four female guards who were waiting outside the door hurriedly carried two large buckets of hot water in, and the midwife was just about to go back, but was grabbed by Guo Song, "You haven't told me yet, is my wife safe?" Is it Xiaolang, or is it a little lady? ”

"Don't worry, sir, everything is safe madam, it's just.... It's a little lady. ”

The midwife's eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to meet Guo Song's gaze, for fear that he would be disappointed.

Guo Song stopped, his nose was sour for a while, and his eyes couldn't help but be moist, God didn't torture himself in the end, and finally gave himself another daughter.

..........

The mother couldn't see the wind, the confinement room and the delivery room were only separated by a small door, the midwives cleaned up the delivery room, and Xue Tao had been sent to the next room to rest and recuperate.

Guo Song walked into the room, only to see his wife lying on the bed, covered with a thick futon, with a big pillow on her back, Ah Qiu was feeding her to drink the freshly boiled field chicken white rice porridge, her face was very pale, there was no trace of blood, her hair was messy, the sweat stains on her forehead had not disappeared, and there was a small swaddling cloth beside her.

"Husband, what a little lady."

Xue Tao didn't know why her husband had been refusing to give the child a Xiaolang name, but now she understood that this was her husband's obsession, and he was bent on giving birth to a daughter.

Guo Song gently held his wife's hand, sat down beside her, and said with a soft smile: "What makes me happiest is that your mother and daughter are safe, and nothing else matters." ”

"My daughter's face is like you, her nose is like you, and her eyebrows and eyes are like you, so I will say that she looks exactly like you." Xue Tao looked at his daughter with infinite pity.

"Growing up, she must be a little beauty again."

Guo Song wanted to hold the child, but Xue Tao hurriedly said, "Be careful, her neck is very soft." ”

"I'll hold it, don't worry!"

Guo Song gently picked up the child, supported her head with his arm, the child's pink little face still had wrinkles, his eyes were closed, and his head was covered with soft fetal hair, which was still a little wet.

"What a look!"

The child in front of him was exactly the same as his daughter in his previous life, and the tears in Guo Song's eyes finally burst out of his eyes, did his daughter also come to Datang?

Xue Tao looked at her husband quietly, she could feel her husband's strong emotion of crying with joy, she didn't understand the source of this emotion, and she didn't want to understand, as long as her husband really loved this daughter, it was enough.

The child's nose moved twice, and suddenly he cried softly, and Guo Song immediately understood that the little guy was hungry.

He hurriedly and carefully handed the swaddling clothes to his wife, Xue Tao hugged the child, pulled up the middle coat, the child took the breast milk in his mouth, and suddenly quieted down, sucking sweetly with his small mouth.

Xue Tao looked at her daughter's little face happily, she looked up and said to her husband, "Husband, you go get busy first!" There's a lot of people here. ”

Guo Song nodded, "You have a good rest, and I'll come to see you when I come back." ”

He slowly exited the room and came to the atrium, where Steward Wang stepped forward and hugged his fists and smiled: "Congratulations to the king for winning a thousand gold!" ”

"Thank you!"

Guo Song smiled again and asked, "Are things ready?" ”

"It's all ready, so I'll send someone to distribute it."

Guo Song prepared 3,000 gifts, including two red eggs, a cake ball, and 100 copper coins, which were distributed to the neighbors.

In addition, he will reward his subordinates and his own soldiers with five taels of silver each, and also reward each soldier of the Hexi Army with 500 yuan, so that everyone can share their joy together.

Steward Wang remembered something again, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, the envoy's staff member just now, I told him about the situation in the house, and he went back to the official office, as if there was something." ”

"I see!"

Guo Song instructed the housekeeper a few more words, and then went out to the official office opposite.

At this time, Hexi is completely a snowy world, several heavy snowfalls completely cover Hexi, traffic is cut off, everyone usually hides in their own homes to warm up, lazy winter.

Today is the eighth day of the first lunar month, just a few days after the New Year, there are still door charms on the door, poles are still erected on the walls of the yard, and children are wearing new clothes, playing snowball fights on the street, running and playing.

Guo Song walked into the gate of the official office and met the governor of Hexi Jiedu Shi Cui Wenjing, Cui Wenjing is the nephew of Xiangguo Cui Youfu, about 40 years old, originally the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came to Hexi in October last year to take office, served as the governor of Hexi Jiedu, and also served as the governor of Suzhou Governor's Mansion.

Cui Wenjing is not bad, he was born in the Qinghe Cui family, he has an upright character and is relatively capable, but his personality is more stubborn, and it is difficult to convince him of some things.

"I heard that Guo Yuanjun is happy to have a daughter, congratulations! Congratulations! ”

"Thank you!"

Guo Song smiled and arched his hand, "It's good to finally be a father." ”

"Keep up the good work and strive for the next son."

"I'll try! Cui Changshi: Where is this going? ”

Cui Wenjing said with a smile: "I'll go to the state school to have a look to prevent students from being lazy and not studying." ”

The state school was founded in August last year, the school is Luo Yu's mansion, there are currently more than 300 students, from Gan, Liang, Su three states, there are seven or eight professors, Meng Jiao and others are teaching in the state school, Huaisu did not return to the capital for the time being, teaching students calligraphy in the state school, the state school is currently served by Cui Wenjing, he is very keen on running a school.

Cui Wenjing got into the carriage and left, Guo Song came to the official room, Zhang Qianyi stepped forward and said: "Envoy, there is the latest news from Dunhuang!" ”
