The issue of safety and quality has been emphasized by Li Xin more than once. There is no way, he never wants the tofu scum project to appear under his rule, after all, once it appears, it may be an unbearable burden for the current Huashan Army. "It's natural! The general's strict order, the subordinate will not dare to forget it for a moment! The old horse hurriedly stood up and replied.

"Hmmm! Take advantage of the time we have now to put the projects in various places in order! Don't forget to prioritize it! The pontoon bridge from Pusaka to Dali County, you have to find a way to erect it first. After all, the connection between Hedong and Guanzhong is getting closer and closer, and if you rely on a boat to cross the ferry again, it will be too much of a delay. Especially if something happens in Shangdang, Yanmen and other places, it will be very troublesome for the troops in Guanzhong to cross the river quickly! Li Xin nodded.

There was originally a pontoon bridge between Puban County and Dali County, and during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, after the Qin State captured Hedong, it began to send people to build bridges over the Yellow River. It's just that when the world was in chaos later, no one cared about this matter anymore, so he returned to the most primitive method.

Nowadays, Hedong and Guanzhong are connected as one, and both people and officials come and go very closely, especially with the expansion of the territory east of the Yellow River, it is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on ferries.

The establishment of several pontoon bridges can wipe out the danger of the Yellow River, and truly connect the east of the river with Guanzhong, and the traffic between the two sides will no longer be blocked. In particular, it is of great significance to strengthen control over Hedong and other places.

"This matter is already being arranged, and in the first half of this year, it should be completed!" The old horse replied.

"In the future, the local government will first report the project to the local government, and then your Ministry of Industry will send a commissioner to inspect the project. If, after inspection, it is found that it is not possible to implement it at all, no funds shall be allocated for construction. In this way, it will also save the blind construction in various places, resulting in unnecessary waste! For the cultivation of these professionals, you, the Ministry of Engineering, have to take a good look! ”

"Yes, Xia Guan remembered!"

"Of course, in this process, we must be careful not to have any corruption! In addition, I am ready to start the inventory of minerals this year, and your Ministry of Industry must be ready! Li Xin pondered for a while and said slowly.

"Inventory of minerals? Why did the general suddenly have this idea? Hearing this, Lao Ma couldn't help but be surprised.

In the past, the rule of the Huashan Army was to receive everything in the newly occupied land, especially what originally belonged to the government. There is no doubt that minerals naturally belong to the public, but there are also some small mines and the like, which are in the hands of some more powerful people in various places.

Not to mention anything else, in Shangdang Taiyuan and other places alone, there are many mineral deposits that are mined by private individuals. These Dock Fort Owners mine these minerals themselves and use them for their own use.

Originally, the Huashan Army recovered salt and iron ore, the two most common and abundant minerals, but these were mines that had been in production for a long time. In other words, Huashanjun has been excavating ready-made mines all along, and has not re-explored and inventoried.

In this way, Li Xin feels very unsafe. Because they don't know the situation under their own rule at all, they naturally can't grasp how much potential they can exert themselves. In the future, when formulating relevant plans, we will inevitably face a situation of underestimation, or inaccuracy at all.

Only by knowing how long you can support yourself in various situations can you make the right plan and achieve your goals.

"Minerals and other things have to be in our own hands. Needless to say, there are some particularly important things, such as salt and iron, and now all we have to do is add some other things. For example, minerals such as copper, coal, gold and silver, these things are very useful to us, but they are also the same for the enemy. We must make good use of them to strengthen ourselves, instead of letting some people or some families use them to cultivate their own power! Under the rule of the Huashan Army, there can only be one official mansion of the Huashan Army! Li Xin said lightly.

"Xia Guan understands, and after he goes back, he will immediately arrange someone to carry out this matter, and he will definitely investigate the distribution of minerals in the territory as soon as possible!" Lao Ma understood the meaning and hurriedly said.

"There are two things you need to pay special attention to, and that is gold and silver! Arrange for someone to find and mine as soon as possible, and I'm going to do something great with these things! There is also a copper mine, after you mine this thing, store it first and don't use it, we will have a need in the future! After a pause, Li Xin explained again.

"The lower official must keep it a good secret, and he won't let anyone else know about it!"

"Go ahead! As soon as you discuss it with Master Xu, the two of you must cooperate closely, so that you can get things done! Li Xin nodded and let him go.

Although it is said that there is no ability to mint money now, gold and silver things are different, as long as they are formed, they can be traded. For Li Xin, it is not of much use for the gold and silver to remain in the territory of the Huashan Army, but if it is used in other places, the result will be different.

Using things that are not of great use to himself in exchange for a large number of things that are very useful to himself, Li Xin is very willing to do this kind of thing. The only thing that is more troublesome is that he doesn't know how many such things there are under his rule, because his impression of the land of Guanlong seems to be only coal.

After Lao Ma left, Li Xin called several other Shangshu over to discuss the affairs of each department. All in all, it is a review of the implementation of the three-year plan, and then it is a supplement to some newly discovered problems.

Li Xin doesn't know what will happen this year, but if everything goes well, there is no doubt that this year will be dominated by people's livelihood. Whether it is agricultural work, public facilities, or spiritual construction such as education and culture, all efforts are being made under the efforts of various departments.

It is said that the boat is small and easy to turn around, and today's Huashan Army is not a behemoth, so these things are naturally much easier to do, and the results are very fast. Soon after the beginning of spring, there was a lively scene in various places.

At the beginning of February, Li Xin decided to carry out another major change of guard in various localities. Mainly because after the big war a year ago, the soldiers and horses from all over the country returned to the garrison after a short break, and if you count it, the troops from all over the country have actually been stationed in one place for almost three years.

This is not a good thing, for Li Xin, who has many expensive soldiers and horses, his soldiers and horses must be able to adapt to the differences in various regions. There can't be a situation where Qinzhou's soldiers and horses are transferred to Shangluo and there is a situation where they are not adapted, so what kind of battle is there to fight? In this way, the number of troops you can use will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, let the soldiers and horses from all over the country be mobilized, so that they can all familiarize themselves with the situation and climate of each place. In this way, there will be no problems when you want to use it in the future.

Of course, there is also a more important purpose, that is, to make these surrounding forces unclear how many troops the Huashan Army has deployed in the border area. After all, when they found that they had just touched the situation of the Huashan Army in front of them, and suddenly found that everyone had changed, at this time, they must have been very desperate in their hearts!

It is also very necessary for the so-called soldiers not to tire of deceit, and to engage in some false and real means to make the enemy even more jealous of themselves, so that they will not dare to act rashly. As long as the enemy does not dare to act rashly, he will have a lot of time to develop with peace of mind, and thus become stronger and stronger.

This change of guard was divided into two parts, and in each place, half of the troops and horses were mobilized first, leaving half of the soldiers and horses to wait for the second half of the year to change the guard. In this way, a good handover between the old and new soldiers can be ensured.

The generals above the rank of self-counselor have basically not been transferred, that is to say, half of the generals of the entire Huashan Army have undergone a major adjustment. In this way, although it may affect the combat effectiveness of the army in the short term, it is still very beneficial in the long run, especially to prevent the formation of small factions in the army.

Compared with other things, the three-year plan of the army was completed first, and the number of people was already full. The regular army alone already has 100,000 people, but the 10,000 light cavalry is only about 6,000 people, after all, the relevant equipment really can't keep up with this speed.

In order to allow the army to complete the change of equipment as soon as possible, the military department has already built several new weapons workshops in various parts of Guanzhong. But technicians are not so easy to obtain, so everyone is also helpless.

After the re-change of defense, Li Xin garrisoned 20,000 troops in Taiyuan Shangdang and other places, focusing on guarding against Yan. There are 30,000 garrisons in Guanzhong, including the flying dragon cavalry and the unbroken army, as well as 3,000 light cavalry, mainly to protect Guanzhong.

In Shangluo and Hongnong, because they were relatively close to Guanzhong and Hedong, they were mainly facing Jiangzuo forces, so only 10,000 people were stationed to defend them. In Beidi and Anding Shangjun, 20,000 troops were stationed, focusing on Xiaoguan, Wushi, Sanshui and Zhujuan.

In addition, because Qinzhou has to face Liangzhou and is also responsible for deterring the Hu tribes in the west, 20,000 troops are also stationed. Among them, 10,000 were in Tianshui and other places in Longxi, led by Zhou Tong, while the other 10,000 were stationed in Anyuanbao, Jinchengguan and other places, led by Hu Tiantong!!

After changing the defense order, the Huashan Army suddenly made a lot of moves in the territory. Even if Li Xin had already ordered the garrisons in various places not to pass through the city as much as possible and not to harass the people along the way, if the army crossed the border, it would inevitably cause some panic after all.

And this time for the change of guard, Li Xin did not let go of this opportunity, and prepared a large-scale training for everyone. The most important thing is that I am afraid that it can be regarded as a long-distance off-road with a heavy load, after all, in this era, there are still many times when you have to rely on your feet to hurry!
