The cold winter, the howling wind, and the white snow have covered the earth with silver.

But in a blink of an eye, this time has come, in February of the second year of Chongzhen, it is very close to spring ploughing, and many places in Daming are making all kinds of preparations for spring ploughing!

The capital of the United Kingdom.

"English duke! This time, we can't meet Zhao Zongwu's unreasonable demands like this, this opening will cost 70,000 stone of grain, where can my father get him so much food! Zhu Chunchen said excitedly.

From the very beginning, Zhao Zongwu led the troops and went to Shaanxi to conquer the army of the Liukou, Zhang Weixian and Zhu Chunchen behaved extremely friendly, and then in the past half a year, except for taking the land of northern Shaanxi, Zhao Zongwu had no results at all.

On the contrary, it was the attack of Xi'an City, all the Qin Wangfu were killed, and all the southern Shaanxi regions fell into the hands of the Liukou, which made the government and the opposition shaken at this time.

By the way, this situation also made many people question Zhao Zongwu a lot, and with the help of this opportunity, Zhang Weixian and them were more condensed.

In the face of Zhao Zongwu's situation, Zhang Weixian also expressed strong dissatisfaction, although they were dissatisfied, but they used the emperor's tone to reprimand!

This made Zhao Zongwu, who received the holy decree, very disapproving.

This also makes the relationship between them delicate.

Zhang Weixian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Cheng Guogong is right, the grain and grass required for this, and the silver money needed, must not be supplied as Zhao Zongwu said."

He is living a good life in northern Shaanxi, and I am waiting for the suffering in the court, and the silver salary accumulated by this cent must not be given to him Zhao Zongwu like this!

According to the meaning of this father, it is enough to allocate him to what he needs this time, and as for the rest, let him Zhao Zongwu find a way, after all, there are many places in Daming that have corresponding needs! ”

As Zhao Zongwu guessed at the beginning, how long has it been, Zhang Weixian and the others began to disobey the yin and yang, and they didn't even plan to do face work, on the contrary, they wanted to take advantage of the catastrophe in southern Shaanxi to suppress Zhao Zongwu!

Zhao Zongwu obviously had a better way to deal with Zhang Weixian's approach, after all, he grew up in the struggle.

Northern Shaanxi on the other side.

"Grandpa Guo, after these months of hard work, the entire territory of Yulin Mansion, the central and northern parts of Yan'an Mansion, and the entire territory of Qingyang Mansion have built basic canal facilities.

Although it is not possible to ensure that every village will have access to irrigation water in a timely manner, it is still possible to ensure a good grain yield over time.

In the next stage, the General People's Government will further intensify its efforts to carry out all-round rectification of local canal construction, and at the same time build corresponding reservoir construction.

To ensure the local grain planting in northern Shaanxi, the water conservancy needs are needed, and lay a solid foundation for ensuring grain production! ”

Lu Xiangsheng dragged his tired body, although his expression was tired, he could not hide his excitement, holding the document in his hand, and said excitedly.

Zhao Zongwu nodded and said: "Jiandou, you have worked hard during this time, in order to have a stable environment in northern Shaanxi, you have not worked day and night, it is indeed too hard."

But this is only the beginning, and it is about to be the season of spring ploughing, and all the efforts we have made before are for this season.

If at this stage, our work has not been put in place, then everything we have done before is actually in vain!

Moreover, for us, relying on external supplies for a long time will not be able to support us in the conquest of the Liukou, so the matter of spring ploughing must be absolutely guaranteed! ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Grandpa Guo, you are right, spring ploughing is just around the corner, and the lowly post has already discussed the corresponding measures with the officials of the General People's Government.

In order to ensure that the spring ploughing is foolproof, the lowly official has set up a corresponding inspection team in the general civil government, in order to avoid exaggerated statements.

This is because during the period of rectifying local water conservancy, some grassroots officials, in order to make their achievements better, have exaggerated reports.

Fortunately, the officials in the local area who were secretly investigated discovered it in time, so that this bad trend did not spread to the entire northern Shaanxi region. ”

"Such officials must be severely punished!" Zhao Zongwu pointed to Lu Xiangsheng and said: "At present, our department is in northern Shaanxi, and such a situation must not occur.

You are responsible for the local people's livelihood, and you know best in your heart that during this period of time, the supply of our army in Beijing is declining like a cliff.

In the middle, Zhang Weixian is playing ghosts, trying to make his father compromise with them in this way, but this is absolutely impossible!

You have been following my father for a long time, and I know my father's temper, and I know that you need to be hard to strike iron. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Grandpa Guo, rest assured, the significance of this spring ploughing to our army, the humble position is very clear in my heart, and the humble post assures you that it will definitely not delay your deployment!" ”

For Lu Xiangsheng's assurance, Zhao Zongwu's heart was warm, because he had such a group of reliable subordinates, so that he could open up the situation in Shaanxi.

After this midwinter, the garrison army in northern Shaanxi has also been successfully organized, because the principle of separating military and political affairs has been adopted, and in addition to the necessary defense line, all the rest of Yansui Town have been transitioned to the Yulin Prefecture system.

Such a change has also made Yansui Town have a radical change, and the control of the jurisdiction has also been greatly enhanced.

Originally, in the middle of winter, it was the time when the grassland tribes came to threshk grass, but this year, because of the complete defense and the prevention and control of elite soldiers and horses, the grassland cavalry who came to raid did not take advantage of it at all, and even lost a lot of soldiers and horses.

With the help of this midwinter, Zhao Zongwu has done a lot of things, in fact, there is no shortage of talents under his command at all, civil officials include Lu Xiangsheng, as well as eunuch officials, and military generals include Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo.

In addition, Wu Xiang and Wang Chaochen, who were requisitioned and transferred, made the construction of the local garrison very stable!

Northern Shaanxi, which was originally full of loopholes, has truly become a consolidated local power under the high-intensity combination of Zhao Zongwu!

The torment time is passing little by little, everything just needs to wait, after the spring ploughing in northern Shaanxi is over, Zhao Zongwu and they can lead the army to go to conquer the rogues raging in southern Shaanxi.

At this point in time, no matter how cruel Wang Jiayin is, the cold winter is not the stage of sending troops at all, which also makes them huddle in warm houses to enjoy themselves, and as for those people who have no foundation, they can only die in hunger and cold.

Some people who don't want to die like this will flee to northern Shaanxi with their families, which also makes the population in northern Shaanxi surge!
