'The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic. ’

But as long as you can be a human, who would want to be a ghost?

Leaving the Yuyuan side of Dongguo, Xu Changqing found Ergou and Wang Xi, and the official hall did not return, so he went directly to the Haicheng Hotel to open a room, and first had a good sleep and returned to his blood.

After sleeping peacefully until noon and eating a hearty lunch, Xu Changqing felt much better, and his body was full of vitality, and he beckoned Ergou and Wang Xi to ride back to the official hall.

There are still a lot of things going on at the end of the year.

The second year of Hongguang was a glorious year for the model army, and it was a fruitful harvest, which not only connected Denglai and Haicheng into a line, but also stabilized the situation in Nanjing.

However, Haicheng is very mature by this time, whether it is the political affairs bureau or the military, they complement each other, like a huge and compact machine, which has been running in an orderly manner, Xu Changqing is only responsible for controlling the general direction, and there is no need to work hard as before, and everything has to be done by himself.

That's the magic of the system.

Of course, in order to avoid the tragedy of Wenchen overthrowing the entire Ming Dynasty, or the chaos of the martial arts, Xu Changqing also used a lot of brains in it, so that the two sides could not only work together, but also closely restrain each other.

It is still only a prototype, and there are many imperfections, but the effectiveness has already begun to appear.

Back in the official hall, several bigwigs from the Political Affairs Bureau have gone out to get busy, and the more the end of the year, the more places that need to be pacified.

Including Xu Changqing, there are also a lot of jobs that need to be appeased in person, but this afternoon is already the afternoon, Xu Changqing thought about it, and postponed it to tomorrow.

After resting for a while on the side of the official hall and sorting out his thoughts, Xu Changqing directly took Ergou and Wang Xi to the horse farm located outside Haicheng and in the southeast area.

At this time, there was not much fluctuation in military affairs and government affairs, but there were a few points that Xu Changqing still needed to grasp personally.

First and foremost, the horse farm.

This will be directly related to the foundation of the future development of the Model Army.

Then there are some basic aspects such as shipyards, wineries, ordnance workshops, cement factories and so on.

In fact, the horse farm is no longer part of the city, but was built outside the city, but after the coordination between the government and the military, in order to ensure the safety of the horse farm, several low-cost but strong walls were built around the perimeter.

From a distance, the horse farm located by the sea is almost connected to the castle, but it is slightly smaller.

All the way to this side, Xu Changqing was also slightly out of breath, and did not rush in, but carefully examined the surrounding environment first.

At this time, although Haicheng is getting better and better, developing rapidly and thriving, everything is beautiful, but Xu Changqing has already discovered one of the huge hidden dangers.

That's right.

The city is so big, so big that it is a bit deformed, the kind of carrying capacity that this era cannot bear.

If it is placed in a peaceful and prosperous era, it is nothing, better use of the surrounding land resources, and slowly coordinate.

But at this time, it was still in the era of war, and war could break out at any time.

Haicheng, as a symbol of the Ming Dynasty in the north, means that it may be attacked by military disasters at any time.

As a direct result, the city of Haicheng is endlessly prosperous, but the surrounding land use utility is extremely poor, and there are two worlds inside and outside the city......

Both the government affairs department and the military have tried their best in this regard, but the effect is still not good, and once they leave the fortified city, no one has a sense of security.

It is impossible to transfer the core strategic facilities to the big island near Haicheng, but there are no good conditions, and this will undoubtedly enter a vicious circle.

Now Xu Changqing can't solve this problem

, limited by all conditions, can only take one step at a time.

But it also makes the horse farm more important.

"Drive, drive."

Just about to go in to see, the red lady who happened to be on duty here a few days ago also rode over.

Xu Changqing hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "I just came over casually to take a look, I didn't intend to disturb you, why didn't I take care of it in the camp and run out." ”

Maybe it came naturally, Xu Changqing's hard work on the battlefield of Jiuxian Mountain finally came to fruition, and the red lady was finally pregnant.

Looking at Xu Changqing's concerned appearance, the red lady's pretty face turned slightly red, and said with a smile: "You only came here for the first time after the horse farm was built, and I am now the southeast guard, so why should I accompany it." ”

The two then drove side by side towards the horse farm, and the generals in charge of the guard followed.

The chief officer of the horse farm is called Zhu Yuan, and he is also a veteran who followed Xu Changqing when he was in Ningyuan, and later, he broke an arm in the Central Plains battlefield, so he retired as an instructor.

The two adjutants were also disabled and retired.

One is named Xu Lin, who is Xu Changqing's house slave, and the other is Lei Heizi, who is Li Youwei's house slave.

The three of them explained the configuration of the horse farm to Xu Changqing and the red lady as they walked.

To be honest, it's still not suitable to build a horse farm by the sea.

Just for planting grass, alfalfa, and some other horse feed, because the land on the site is too salty, it makes Zhu Yuan and them suffer.

The only resort was to open up new forage farms dozens of miles away, which greatly increased the cost.

Even the horses also need to adapt to the climatic conditions of the seaside, which is difficult.

Faced with this same problem, Xu Changqing was also quite helpless.

If the horse farm is placed in a better location in the mainland, then safety cannot be guaranteed, but if it is placed here, there will be many problems.

In the trade-off, the safety factor is more important, and Xu Changqing can only draw cakes for them to appease their emotions.

The horse farm occupies a large area and is generally divided into several large areas.

The largest area is the racecourse, where the horses have fun are carefully planted with shallow grass, even if it is late winter, there are still a lot of grasses that are not afraid of the harshness of nature, and from a distance, the green is very clear and vibrant.

The core is the breeding area of horses, including the 'sun' that Xu Changqing had seen before and was brought to Nanjing by Wang Pu and Ergou.

But it's not the war horse's hair at this time. Feeling. Period, the sun of these species. Although the horses flirt with the mares from time to time, they do not actually move.

The sun obviously remembered Xu Changqing, and when he saw that Xu Changqing had brought a beautiful woman again, or a sassy female general, he suddenly showed disdain.

The red lady couldn't help but smile: "Why did you provoke others, people don't look down on you." ”

Xu Changqing was full of black lines, and said: "Wait until the spring of next year is used up with this evil animal, see how Lao Tzu cleans him up!" ”

The red lady was taken aback: "Don't mess around, this is a baby." ”

“……”

Xu Changqing glared at the red lady angrily, "Is Lao Tzu such a disproportionate person?" Ride it as much as you want. ”

The breeding of war horses is a forbidden area within a forbidden area.

At this time, the 'expert group' of several hundred people had been collected through various means, not only Mongols, armor people, but also whites, Cossacks, and Koreans.

Their work is very detailed, they are all accountable, and they are very strict.

Even if Xu Changqing and the others came to inspect, they didn't come to cater to them, they were all busy

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Live your own business.

They not only have to take care of the diet and hygiene of these war horses, but also mediate the mood of these war horses, especially the breed. Horses, here are really like emperors, not only countless mares for them to choose from, every pore will be taken care of very comfortably.

After shopping for nearly an hour, Xu Changqing was very satisfied with the work of the horse farm, and immediately announced that he would allocate 3,000 taels of silver to the horse farm to give everyone some benefits from the previous year.

Immediately, everyone shouted excitedly.

Zhu Yuan, Xu Lin, and Lei Heizi also showed uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

It's not a matter of how much money there is, but Xu Changqing recognizes their work and their efforts.

Xu Changqing originally wanted to walk around the horse farm for a while, but the red lady was pregnant, so obviously she couldn't do such a toss, so she pulled her into the carriage and returned, so as not to let the female general catch the cold, which would be terrible.

The carriage was warm in spring, and Xu Changqing was lying on the red lady's lap with a smile, extremely comfortable.

The red lady snorted and said, "Why don't you go to your Daqing Guogege?" I've heard that people are very sincere to you. ”

Xu Changqing glanced at the red lady angrily: "Sister Hong, let's not open any pot and make it?" It's too late for Lao Tzu to hide from them. ”

"Giggles, you're scared sometimes."

The two frolicked, and when they were about to reach the camp of the Red Lady, she suddenly squirmed slightly.

"Huh?"

"Sister Hong, do you have something on your mind?"

Xu Changqing was very keenly aware of the changes in the red lady.

The red lady bit her red lip and said in a low voice: "Changqing, a few days ago, Uncle Dingbei came to look for me a few days ago, and he also gave me a generous gift." I didn't want to accept it, but I really couldn't get rid of it......"

The red lady said, she couldn't help but feel weak, and she was a little wronged, for fear that Xu Changqing would educate her.

Xu Changqing laughed: "It's okay. Wang Pu likes to engage in this kind of small action. What kind of gift did he give you? ”

"Also, it's nothing...... It's more than 5,000 taels of silver, and there are two very experienced old mothers......"

The red lady was aggrieved.

Xu Changqing also understood, after all, the two old mothers were of very high quality, and the red lady was reluctant to push them away.

"Okay, don't be wronged, it's a trivial matter. In the future, if someone asks you, as long as it does not involve a matter of principle, you still have to accept the gift that should be received. It's just a little gift for our children. ”

"Really?"

The red lady was overjoyed, and her beautiful eyes looked at Xu Changqing.

In the past, she really didn't have any concept of silver, and she never cared, it was enough for her brothers to eat and drink.

But at this time, she was pregnant and felt the little life in her belly, and her whole life began to change rapidly.

Don't think about herself, but think about her children.

It's okay for her to suffer herself, but should she let her children suffer with her?

In terms of maternal brilliance, even if she is a red lady, she is not exempt from vulgarity.

……

Sending the red lady back to the camp station, Xu Changqing endured the grace of staying overnight, turned his head and returned to the official hall.

Today has been delayed for a day, and there are still a lot of things to do tomorrow, Xu Changqing must continue to recuperate.

As soon as he returned to the official hall, he saw Qin Dongxu coming over excitedly, and he was a little uncontrollable: "Dashuai, good news, what kind of thing did you say before, Meng Chen and they have already researched the results!" ”

Xu Changqing was also refreshed when he heard this: "Where, go, go and see!" ”

"Yes!"
