The deceased is like this, and in the blink of an eye, the vast northern Chu boundary is continuous and rainy, and the middle of July is already the plum season. After months of unity and hard work, Zhaoying, which is rooted in Zaoyang County, has begun to flourish. The main achievements are reflected in three aspects: domestic affairs, military affairs and foreign affairs.

First of all, talking about internal affairs, originally, this is undoubtedly the biggest challenge for Zhao Ying, who is accustomed to the state of mobile combat, but in a comprehensive evaluation, the results of internal affairs make Zhao Dangshi the most satisfied.

One of the internal affairs lies in Tuntian. This is the foundation of the whole army, and it is also the most important task of the army's long-term and stable development. With such a big responsibility, the young Wang Laixing took the lead alone, not to mention that others were suspicious, and even Zhao Dangshi, who trusted Wang Laixing, also played more than ten small drums in his belly. Wang Laixing's identity is heavy, and he was not frightened, but worked hard. For several months, he devoted himself to the affairs of Tuntian Yingtian, and he was anxious and engrossed in the night. Although the experience is not long, it is like spending three autumns for him, and the whole person is also from the inside out, giving people a new feeling.

Under his day and night control, Zhao Ying's Tuntian army followed the original plan. At the beginning of April, 150 hectares of fields were ploughed, sowing was completed in mid-April, 350 hectares of fields were reclaimed in early June, and 400 hectares of fertile land were reclaimed from Zaoyang County in late June. By 14 July, 150 hectares of the nearly 1,000 hectares of fertile land under Zhao Ying's management had been carefully cared for and had been overgrown with dense new rice, which was close to maturity after a series of processes such as tillering, jointing, long stems, long spikes, flowering, grain filling, and fruiting. It is estimated that by early August at the latest, the first batch of rice planted by Zhao Ying will be harvested, and the yield is conservatively set at around 45,000 stone. Such a amount, together with the 50,000 stone rice grain obtained from the Xiang Domain, was sufficient for the next round of sowing and supporting the military in Zhao Ying, including the remaining 750 hectares of land.

Manpower abundance was an important advantage that Wang Laixing relied on, but he did not abuse it, but showed a talent for planning Tuntian. He divided the soldiers of the Tuntian Army involved in farming into many small parts according to their functions, such as harrowing fields, plowing fields, patrolling fields, planting rice, patrolling supervisors, harvesting, etc., to ensure that each part can devote the main energy to a work, to ensure that the efficiency output is maximized, and also to avoid the undesirable situation of overstaffing and idle manpower, and to go step by step extremely steadfastly.

Naturally, there were some tricky emergencies, such as in June, when a large number of new fields were returned to Zhao Ying, there was a shortage of cattle. Wang Laixing judged the situation. On the one hand, the cultivation is divided into day and night ploughing shifts, and the limited ploughing force is squeezed as much as possible, and on the other hand, horses, donkeys and mules are collected in the camp and the surrounding states and counties to replace the ploughing oxen, and even manpower is used to force the plough. With such efforts, nearly 1,000 hectares of fertile land have been effectively developed and utilized.

At the beginning, Wang Laixing ascended to the throne, and some people were still muttering behind his back, thinking that he had sold Zhao Dangshi's face. However, as time passes, the number of gossips decreases month by month. At the moment, every passerby who passes by the endless Zhaoying rice field in the north of Lutoudian and looks at the endless green of the endless rice sea swaying in the wind will give Wang Laixing a heartfelt thumbs up in their hearts.

For Wang Laixing himself, coordinating the work of Tuntian can be described as a nirvana. For a long time, he has been with Zhao Dangshi, but he is actually very inferior. But I feel that I don't know it, and Ding Wuyi is not outstanding, so it is really worthless. Especially when Zhao Dangshi was trapped in a difficult situation, he looked at the sad brother Dang'er, and he would secretly hate his uselessness. Don't talk about others, even if he is himself, he will doubt himself again and again in his heart.

Fortunately, Zhao Dangshi pointed him in a new direction, and he grasped this direction, and as he went, he unexpectedly discovered the potential he had in this direction. He began to understand that he was not a useless waste. He began to become confident, became decisive, handled affairs more easily, and even treated feelings, in the face of Qin Shilu, he also began to believe that he was fully qualified to be worthy of the other party and had the ability to take care of the rest of the other party's life.

"Your brother is no longer your brother, but when will you become my brother?"

Wang Laixing will never forget that when the army attacked Suining County, Qin Shilu said this sentence when he turned his head and left in the heavy snow by the Shenshui River. It is only now that he can understand the emotions contained in Qin Shilu at that time.

"When my brother will always be my brother, and I will always be your brother." Whenever he stood on a high place, looking down on the fertile fields in the fields and the busy soldiers of the Tuntian army, Wang Laixing would always murmur secretly.

The second internal affair lies in construction. In Zhao Yingzhong, He Kewei assisted Wang Laixing with one force. But the talent for general government in the camp is scarce, and Zhao Dangshi can only stuff the task of overall construction to He Ked. The affairs of Tuntian are extremely huge, and Wang Laixing was quite at a loss when he first got started, so He Kejing spent a lot of energy talking with Shuiqiu, the staff officer of Tuntian Yingtian, and assisting Wang Laixing in handling military affairs. Single-mindedness cannot be used for two purposes, and too much effort on the tuntian makes it difficult for He Kewei to devote himself to the construction work, and the construction progress of Zhao Ying is very slow at the beginning. Later, Wang Laixing showed his talent in Tuntian, and the partner with Shuiqiu Tan was able to deal with all kinds of complicated problems with ease, and He Kewei was able to slowly withdraw and return to construction. Therefore, in the first half of Zhao Ying's development, the people with the greatest pressure on the whole camp are really terrifying.

Fortunately, decades of training have cultivated He Ke's strong ability to resist pressure, and he is not depressed, and after going all out to participate in the leading position of the construction work, he has almost doubled the progress of the work.

His duties mainly revolved around the construction of the Zhaoying Military Fort. In Zhao Dangshi's vision, a small city would be built to the north of Lutoudian, and the barracks of soldiers, important institutions and various defensive equipment would be distributed inside and outside the city. The first step was to build the barracks and the initial pivotal structure. In particular, the rainy season has been incessant for several months, and there have been many drawbacks in the barracks where military tents are stationed, such as the rain washes away the mud and it is difficult for cars and horses to travel, the camp is smelly due to sewage blockage, and all kinds of diseases caused by excessive humidity, all of which need to be avoided with great efforts. Zhao Dangshi also repeatedly emphasized that the construction of the soldiers' barracks should be as soon as possible.

In He Kewei's eyes, Zhao Dangshi's words were the Holy Decree, and it was even more important than the Holy Decree to supervise him. There was even a time in the camp that the words "the mountain flowers are not grateful, and the prince never sleeps", which can be seen from the fact that the people forget to sleep and eat.

Throughout June, if there is no urgency, He Kewei will never leave the construction site. By mid-July, He Kewei and the construction soldiers basically met Zhao Dangshi's requirements. Hundreds of wooden barracks are scattered in the fields north of Lutoudian, and there are sometimes brick and stone mansions in between. Nearly 1,000 buildings occupy an area of land and are divided into many separate areas by dug ravines and surrounding low walls. In addition to these areas, it is planned to build two more walls to reinforce and protect them, which are currently marked with wooden fences for the time being. Lookouts, arrow towers, stone forts and other arch defense mechanisms have also been demarcated and are just waiting to be built. It was only said that it was for the army to live, but in fact, there was no big problem, but after entering July, the soldiers of the Zhao battalion had begun to migrate from the south to the barracks in order.

In addition, near the boundary of the mountain, there is another independent area designated as the center of Zhaoying. This area is connected to the city in the west and the mountain in the east, there are roads to climb the steps, and the buildings are built on the slopes or summits of the mountains, most of which are magnificent and majestic. He Ke is afraid of planning, the most towering and palace-like is the core of Zhao Ying-the Military Affairs Mansion. This is the largest of the provinces, and it also includes a number of independent units such as the government decree hall and the council hall. Although Zhao Dangshi verbally said that this area could be simplified, how dare he dare to slack off. He selfishly figured out that this military government would inevitably become the center of internal and external exchanges in the future, which could be called the head of Zhao Ying, and it was also the most important manifestation of the results of his work to others, and he must do his best. Therefore, no matter how much pressure he felt in his heart, he gritted his teeth and was determined to slowly polish this place finely.

The third part of the internal affairs lies in commerce and trade. He Kewei is an internal affairs envoy, but he lacks skills in construction, so this work is mainly presided over by Lu Qiqing, deputy internal affairs envoy. Lu Qiqing looks a little noble, and seems to be amiable, but in fact, before entering Zhao Ying, he did a black-hearted business in Shaanxi, even so, Zhao Dangshi felt that he had some experience in business. The eldest son was plucked among the short, and no one in Zhao Ying's other bitter backgrounds could compare to him, so he was promoted exceptionally. This Lu Qiqing is not timid when he rises suddenly, relying on his white face and round face, he pretends to be quite a bit of a dash in front of people, and uninformed outsiders often think that he is really a rich businessman.

Lu Qiqing was mainly responsible for two lines, one was to contact the Confucian family in Sichuan, and obtain materials from Sichuan, Yunnan, Shaanxi and other places through the Confucian family, and the other was Huguang. There are also many local chambers of commerce and merchants in Huguang, Huguang has a vast land and rich products, and these merchants control most of the channels. Lu Qiqing's main task is to infiltrate it and get the channels that belong to Zhao Ying, so that it will be beneficial to the Confucian family in central Sichuan or the Zheng family in the southeast in the future.

The above is a general policy, and at present, Lu Qiqing's work is relatively detailed, and it still revolves around cooperating with the reform of the camp. For example, Zhao Dangshi required Zhao Ying to have the ability to independently develop simple firearms, which involves the acquisition of raw materials such as saltpeter, sulfur, and wood. In the future, he will send people to Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places to investigate, not to mention the various needs of the battalion such as building and supporting camp construction, field reclamation, and army equipment procurement. He himself will personally go to Yankou Town in mid-July to visit Kong Qingnian, and on the whole, the task is as heavy as Wang Laixing and He Kewei. With him in charge, Zhao Ying is also making steady progress in commercial affairs.

In addition to internal affairs, the military has always been the foundation on which Zhao Ying depended for his livelihood, and it was also another focus that Zhao Ying had established in the past few months to keep pace with internal affairs.

In April, the Zhao battalion carried out structural military reform, and the military reform was extremely complicated, and after the framework was set, the equipment and adjustment of all sides and corners and details continued until June. Adjustment is only the first step, and the rest of the work should not be underestimated. The four battalions of the field army, Wuqi, Xiaojie, Qihun and Feijie, were led by Xu Hui, the commander of the Xiaojie battalion, and carried out equipment and training and other aspects of preparation.

Zhao Ying originally had more than 1,000 bird guns, plus 3,000 bird guns extorted by Zhao Dangshi from Chu Xi, there were already 4,000. In addition, the dragon in the Tian army of 2,000 birds, Zhao Dangshi also booked in advance, before and after the sum of the number of actually more than 6,000, excluding the quality of substandard waste products, to say the least, there are more than 4,000 genuine products. The soldiers of the Zhao battalion are only 6,000, so just from the point of view of the bird gun, it can be regarded as abundant.

After a comprehensive discussion of the composition of the army and the level of training of soldiers, Xu Hui finally made a decision and decided that the proportion of firearms and birds in the three battalions of Wuxi, Efficiency, and Qihun should reach 60%. Among the three battalions, Xu Hui's own Xiaojie battalion was even more important, and light and medium-sized artillery such as the Franc machine, the hair squirrel, and the tiger squat were the most rationed. Many generals in Zhao Ying's camp were more traditional, and out of caution they expressed concern about the proportion of more than half of the firearms assembled, but with Zhao Dangshi's support and Xu Hui's sworn training quality assurance, they finally chose to wait and see.

Xu Hui ordered all the soldiers of the army to hand in the three-eyed guns, fast guns, magic guns and other guns, and practice bird guns in a unified manner, taking it as the standard. He had been in the border army and witnessed the disadvantages of the northern border army's greedy use of three-eyed guns and fast guns. Compared with the bird gun, the three-eyed gun and the fast gun are both musket guns, with short range and low accuracy, but the advantage is that they are easy to master and simple to manufacture. When Qi Jiguang was in Jizhen Town, he commented that "immediately, on the step, only the bird is a sharp weapon." The north pawn is impatient, the play does not see the benefits of the bird, and is still obsessed with the fast gun, although compared to the teaching field, the bird gun is ten times the fast gun, five times the bow and arrow, and finally refuses to pay, it can also be different".

The bird gun has strong penetration and high precision, but the disadvantage is that it is complex to make and the operation threshold is high. But this is not a disadvantage at all for Xu Hui, who has always been expensive and not expensive. Zhao Dangshi agreed with him that there was almost no resistance to the implementation of the bird gun in the camp.
