The next morning, when Li Mu woke up, Diao Chan, Zhen Mi, Cai Yan, and Bian Yu were sleeping soundly. Li Mu folded the quilt for the four of them, and got out of bed lightly.

Li Mu washed up, had breakfast, and came to the state pastor's mansion refreshed and full of spring breeze. Cai Yong, Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, Deng Zhi, Li Hui, Zhang Ji, Cheng Gongying, and Fu Tong arrived a quarter of an hour ago.

On December 17, Li Mu, Xu Shu, and Fu Yan returned to Liangzhou before returning to Liangzhou. Li Mu appointed Zhao Yun as the pre-war governor, and the four armies of Huang Zhong, Ma Chao, Dian Wei, and Jiang Wei were the governors of the four armies, guarding the front line of Chencang, Meiyang, Wugong, and Haochou.

"Big brother returned victoriously, congratulations!"

When Zhang Liao saw Li Mu enter the hall, he stepped forward with a happy face, gave a salute, and laughed loudly.

"The third brother is sitting in Liangzhou, it's hard work!"

Li Mu returned the salute, stepped forward, personally held Zhang Liao's arms, and laughed loudly.

"The eldest brother, the second brother and the brothers, it is hard to fight bloodily in front."

Zhang Liao also held Li Mu's arm back, and said with a solemn face: "Serving the eldest brother, the third brother is as willing as a glutton, so why talk about hard work?" ”

"My brothers are of the same heart, both offensive and defensive, and great things can be helped!"

Li Mu nodded, then pulled Zhang Liao into his seat, and then looked at Xu Shu and Deng Zhi in a circle, and said loudly: "The brothers on the battlefield and the brothers at home have worked hard!" ”

"The Lord is benevolent and wise!"

Xu Shu, Zhang Liao, and Deng Zhi replied in unison.

"De Jong, how is the summer grain harvest this year? Water conservancy projects in various counties of Liangzhou...... How's it going? ”

Li Mu looked at Zhang Ji and asked.

"Lord!"

"This year's harvest in Liangzhou is nearly two percent more than last year. The water conservancy projects in the four counties of Hexi have achieved the greatest results. Now...... In addition to the four counties in Hexi, the water conservancy projects in the remaining six counties are close to perfection! ”

"There is such a harvest in Liangzhou, Deheng is indispensable, and the irrigation effect of the keel waterwheel is really immediate."

"Now...... The grain produced in the four counties of Hexi alone can feed 500,000 people! ”

Zhang Ji bowed slightly, and then said with a smile.

"Not bad, not bad!"

"After the coming year, we need to vigorously develop water conservancy projects in various counties in Liangzhou. Now, from Meiyang, Wugong, Chen Cang, and then to Yu? , the first line of Huangxian County, are all under our rule. ”

"On both sides of the Weishui River, the territory is vast and the soil is fertile. After the coming year, you can grow a large number of various food crops in these places, and you will be able to harvest a lot! ”

Li Mu was overjoyed and said with a smile.

"Please rest assured!"

Zhang Ji nodded, and replied loudly: "At that time, if you go to Weishui with Deheng to survey the terrain, in less than three years, this place can become a big 'granary' under the rule of the lord!" ”

"Good!"

Li Mu added with a smile: "De Rong, when organizing the people to open up the wasteland, remember not to destroy the vegetation on the slope to prevent soil erosion. The reason why the water of the big river and Weishui is so turbid is because the rain washes the soil into the river! ”

Just when Zhang Ji was thinking, Li Mu looked at Deng Zhi and Li Hui, and asked with a smile: "Bo Miao, De'ang, presumably the Han River (Yangtze River) is clearer than the Great River and Wei Shui, right?" ”

"What the lord said is true!"

Deng Zhi and Li Hui glanced at each other and nodded, Li Hui was very curious: "The lord has never seen it on the spot...... How do you know? ”

"I've seen the accounts of those who came before me!"

Li Mu replied with a smile and bypassed the topic. In fact, Li Mu had never read the ancient books, but only through the experience of later generations did he ask.

"Bo Miao, the newly born population in Liangzhou, compared with previous years, has there been an increase? How are the roads in the counties of Liangzhou being built? ”

The population of Liangzhou is the smallest among the thirteen states of Dahan. Li Mu remembered the slogan of 'If you want to get rich, build roads first' in later generations, Li Mu immediately asked.

"Since Liangzhou has had bumper harvests year after year and the people have lived a prosperous life, the number of newly born people in Liangzhou has been steadily increasing every year. There are 100,000 new students this year, 20,000 more than last year. ”

"Moreover, the number of newborn babies dying is decreasing year by year. There are two reasons for this. First, the people were well fed and strong; Second, Liangzhou Medical Center has cultivated a large number of Langzhong, and most of those stable women have been trained. ”

"Fifty percent of the roads in Liangzhou counties have been completed. Among them, the official road has the width of four troikas. With such a road, first, it is convenient for the army to march quickly; Second, it is convenient for the assembly and evacuation of various materials! ”

Deng Zhi said with joy on his face.

"Father-in-law, I don't know if there is an increase in the number of children studying in academies in various places in Liangzhou? Liangzhou Academy can be cultivated...... Available talent? ”

Li Mu nodded, then looked at Cai Yong and asked loudly.

"Since the establishment of the country...... Since the people were vigorously encouraged to study, the number of students studying has also increased year by year, whether it is the children of poor families or the children of small landlords. ”

"This year, there are more than 10,000 school-age children enrolled in schools in Liangzhou counties compared with last year. Among them, the children of the poor family account for ninety percent! ”

"As for the available talents, this year, Liangzhou Academy has cultivated a total of 16 young people, all of whom are young people with both ability and political integrity. Among them, there are thirteen children of the poor family. Of these sixteen people, some are serving in the county, and some are serving as pavilion chiefs! ”

Cai Yong said with a happy face. The reason why Cai Yong said "small landlords" is because the powerful families in Liangzhou were either exterminated by Li Mu, or they were divided and disintegrated into small landlords who could not form a climate.

"Father-in-law has worked hard!"

"After the coming year, I will increase my financial investment in Liangzhou Academy and continue to increase the number of students."

"The 'Six Arts of Gentlemen' must not be abandoned! I need talents who not only have real talents and practical learning, but also need strong physique! ”

"In the future, we will wait for more and more rule. At that time, the talents cultivated by Liangzhou Academy will naturally be of great use! ”

"Since ancient times, it has been the 'aristocracy' and 'family' who have controlled the writing and teaching of the world. If the children of the poor want to learn, they must be committed to them. ”

"I established Liangzhou Academy to let more children from poor families read and write, so as to broaden their knowledge and make them usable talents!"

"On other days, everyone is like a dragon, and I am a strong Chinese family!"

"The people's hearts, talents, troops, money and food, Liangzhou has everything! In other days, the world is strong, why compete with us? ”

"The world is a strong family, if you are interested, you are willing to give up its rich family business. I, Li Mu, can leave him a way out! If they don't come to their senses, I'll let them lay down millions of corpses! ”

"Without iron and blood, there will be no revival of Huaxia!"

"Even if I kill tens of millions of people, my Li Mu's plan of 'striking at the powerful family and prospering the Chinese family' will never be changed!"

Li Mu was overjoyed, immediately stood up, saluted Cai Yong and the others, and said in a solemn voice.

"Swear allegiance to the Lord and achieve immortal causes!"

Zhang Liao, Xu Shu, and Deng Zhi immediately stood up and said in unison with a solemn face.
