"The climate in the south is relatively mild, Jiangdong doesn't know, but if the rice and wheat in these two Huai land are good, they can be harvested twice a year, I heard that since Jin'er took office, in addition to guarding against Jiangdong, the most concerned thing is this matter, if you can ensure that most of the fields are cropped twice a year, this Jianghuai land can produce a year, you can raise an army!" After the spring of Shou Chun, Chen Mo and his party slowed down, looking at the crops that were about to mature in the field, Chen Mo explained with a smile to his wife and a few women.

Chen Mo's time here is actually not very long, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out when he was ten years old, he left his hometown, and before that, he had only encountered one two-year maturity.

"My son is fighting for his life with the sky, don't be like this!" Chen's mother didn't approve of Chen Mo on this point, and felt that doing so was robbing God of things, and she might be disgusted by God.

"According to my mother, building water conservancy is also fighting with the sky, no matter the best, but it will have to kill a lot of people." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled: "You see that the child has a lot of competition with God, and he has not seen God condemn him, so this is not fighting with God, this is doing good on behalf of God, and God should reward it." ”

"Crooked!" Mother Chen shook her head helplessly, but she didn't argue anymore, after all, no one knew what the sky thought.

There was a rapid sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Dian Wei and the others quickly formed a formation to protect Chen Mo and the others, Chen Mo looked up, but saw a few horsemen galloping towards this side, and when they looked closely, it was Chen Jin.

"Shizi?" Dian Wei waved his hand and motioned for everyone to retreat, and then he greeted him and said, "Why are you here?" ”

"Uncle Dian, a message came from Xuzhou, saying that my father is here, and I have been waiting here for the past few days." Chen Jin explained with a smile, and then came to Chen Mo and saluted: "The child sees his father." ”

"Get up." Chen Mo waved his hand and looked at the few people behind Chen Jin, Xu Zhen, Dian Man, and Guo Huai He recognized, but the other people Chen Mo was not impressed.

"Father, these are a few new friends of the child, this person's name is Deng Ai, a new savage, when Liu Bei attacked Nanyang, he went to Runan to avoid the war, and then the child came to the child's place, and he was quite talented." Chen Jin pulled a teenager to his side and smiled.

Deng ...... Deng Ai...... See...... King...... Your Majesty! The young man hurriedly bowed to Chen Mo and said.

This kid ......

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, his eyes were a little strange.

"Father, although Shizai has a bit of a stutter, he is proficient in learning and the art of war, and now he is managing the affairs of Tuntian for his children, which is quite effective." Chen Jin hurriedly explained.

"I've heard of it." Chen Mo nodded, looked at the young man and said, "It's also a person of inner wisdom." ”

Chen Jin introduced the other two to Chen Mo respectively, both of whom are children of Jianghuai, but Chen Mo is obviously more interested in Deng Ai, this son's life is not low, he is only nineteen years old, but his life is close to ninety, and in a few years, maybe he will be able to condense his life, this kind of talent, he will do something in the future.

Of course, as the parties concerned, Deng Ai and the three of them seemed to be able to feel Chen Mo's attention, and only Chen Jin, who had been with Chen Mo for a long time, could vaguely find out his father's thoughts.

After Chen Jin met Chen's mother and Cai Yan and others one by one, he did not go to Hefei, but followed Chen Mo to Shouchun.

Chen Jin came to Jiujiang not long ago, and the only thing he has done at present is Tuntian, which is the initial effect, that is, he moved the administrative office to Hefei and strengthened the Hefei city wall to prevent Jiangdong from attacking.

"The head of this county, different from the county order, no matter what you want to do, you have to take your time, without three or five years, it is difficult to see results, this Jiujiang Taishou position, you are afraid that you will have to do it for a long time." In the government office, after sending away Deng Ai and a few people, only Chen Mo and Chen Jin, father and son, were left in the room, Chen Mo did not shy away from it, he was not ready to let Chen Jin get involved in the affairs of the court too early, at least he had to have some merit before he could return to the court, after all, now Chen Jin is Chen Mo's scholar, and his ability is still a little insufficient, and it will be a little slow to put it in the court.

"The child understands that now this Jiujiang is also in ruins, and the father is letting the child go back, I'm afraid the child won't be able to go back." Chen Jin smiled bitterly.

"Oh?" Chen Mo nodded, looked at Chen Jin with some surprise: "The situation in Jiujiang, I understand almost everything now, let me tell you what you are going to do?" ”

"Whoa!" Chen Jin nodded and said: "Actually, when Uncle Meng De was here, the old Taishou Liu Fu did a good job, and the child was ready to continue his policy, focusing on water conservancy and education!" ”

Needless to say, the construction of water conservancy is needless to say, this Jianghuai area, the waterways are vertical and horizontal, if you are not careful, it will become a flood, build a dam, guide the flow of water to irrigate the farmland, this must be done, as for the matter of education, it is obviously preparing to open more academies in Jiujiang, after all, books are becoming more and more accessible, and it is no longer like the way that was difficult to obtain before, and it is also appropriate to practice the way of education.

"It's a pity for Liu Yuanying." Chen Mo nodded, Liu Fu had already surrendered to Chen Mo back then, who knew that it would not take long for him to die, and the situation in Jiujiang had also begun to collapse since then, coupled with the continuous attacks on Jiangdong, a large number of people migrated, and only then did Chen Jin borrow marriage to seize Hefei, now that I think about it, if Liu Fu hadn't died, there might not have been so much to do.

Chen Jin nodded, mentioning this late Taishou, he was also a little embarrassed, until now, there are still many people in the land of Jiujiang who read this Taishou well.

"Since you already have a belly case, don't talk about it as a father, go and accompany your mother, we will stay here for a few days, and you will accompany her more." Chen Mo waved his hand.

"Whoa!" Chen Jin stood up and bowed.

Chen Mo also got up and went out, Dian Wei went to get close to his son, the guards around him were all soldiers of the pro-guard battalion, Chen Mo was going to go to Han Qiong to sit there, and Jiangdong would have to fight sooner or later, and Han Qiong would also be one of the main forces at that time.

Han Qiong was stationed in Shouchun, but the army was moved to the front line, and Han Qiong was in charge of command, so now there is no need for Chen Mo to run far.

"Has Jiangdong been in trouble lately?" Chen Mo came to Han Qiong, and only after exempting himself from the vulgar etiquette did he ask.

"There are no big battles, but ordinary attacks are often encountered, your majesty, our army has no naval army, so we can only defend passively, and the minister has thought of a few methods, which may be useful in the future." Han Qiong smiled.

"Oh?" Chen Mo smiled: "Please also ask the old general for guidance." ”

"Don't dare, the veteran is just to prevent them from landing on the riverside easily, so he has driven a lot of wooden stakes underwater, so that Jiangdong's ships can't get close to the riverbank, so that they can only shoot some arrows." Han Qiong smiled.

"It's a way too." Chen Mo nodded, but in his mind, he was thinking about how he would crack it if he attacked Jiangdong one day, and the other party used this trick? But in any case, it seems that this method is difficult to crack, or can some ships with a small draft be built to land?

After thinking about it, Chen Mo looked at Han Qiong and said: "Old general, the naval army trained by our army in the East China Sea is also quite effective, and the naval army arrives in the future, if Jiangdong also uses this trick, we will not be able to crack it, after a while, maybe Liu Yi will come here, and when the time comes, you will inform him of this method and see if there is a way to crack it." ”

"Your Majesty, with all due respect to the veteran, Jiangdong has been immersed in this way for many years, and the minister has tried to find some fishermen who understand water to form a naval army to pursue down the river, but they were all defeated by the thief army, after all, our army is still short, and if you want to be comparable to the Jiangdong naval army, I am afraid it will ......" Han Qiong was a little unoptimistic about Chen Mo's naval army.

"Just tell him." Chen Mo nodded, in fact, he was not sure about fighting a water fight with Jiangdong, it was best to be able to play to his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, but this big river was a hurdle that he couldn't overcome, and he had to face it no matter what.

"The veteran commands." Han Qiong nodded, and then the two stopped talking about this matter, but instead talked about things like the art of war, Jiujiang defense, etc.

At the end of "Wang Shang......", Han Qiong looked at Chen Mo with some hesitation.

"The old general has words, but it doesn't hurt to say them." Chen Mo smiled.

"The old man is now nearly eighty years old, and he feels physically exhausted, I don't know if I can allow the old man to return to his hometown?" Han Qiong hesitated a little, at the moment, it seems that he can't fight Jiangdong for a while, but he feels that he may not be able to wait for that time, people are old, and they want to return to their roots after all.

"This ......" Chen Mo didn't answer immediately, he looked at Han Qiong, his life was already on the verge of dissipation, but now all the generals had their own things to do, all of a sudden, Chen Mo couldn't think of anyone who could replace Han Qiong, after a moment of silence, Chen Mo asked: "Is there a suitable person in the old general's heart?" ”

Han Qiong hesitated for a moment, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the prince is competent enough. ”

"Him?" Chen Mo frowned and shook his head: "He has not really experienced the battlefield, and the matter of Hefei is a strategy, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it." ”

"The king should not look down on the prince too much, the defense in the Jiujiang area is all from the hands of the prince, and the prince leads the troops and does not say, but in terms of employing people, there is quite the style of the king, and it is quite loved by the people in the Jiujiang area, that Xu Zhen and Guo Huai all have the qualifications of generals, and the old minister thinks that Jiujiang will be handed over to the prince, and he will be able to protect Jiujiang Antai."

"Let's talk about this matter......" Chen Mo nodded, but he didn't agree directly, once Han Qiong left, no one in this Jiujiang area could give Chen Jin a foundation, a group of young people, there was no problem in governing Jiujiang, but if it was said that the military would also be cured, these people could really do it?

"The veteran remembers that when the king became famous, he was younger than the prince, and he was already able to compete with the ministers of the court and the princes of the world. Han Qiong said with a smile.

"Since the old general has said so, let him try, but if the old general is willing, after returning to Jizhou, he can help train new soldiers." Chen Mo nodded, it is also appropriate for Han Qiong to return to his hometown at this time, but after all, he is a veteran and has a lot of experience in his life, so it is not a pity, Chen Mo hopes that he can exert some residual heat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
