After the army set out, the whole Chang'an was full of sorrow, and the chiefs of the surrounding ethnic minorities, the town guard generals, etc., had to return to their hometowns or defense areas.

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, who stayed in the central government, had many things to do, such as agreeing with the chiefs of those ethnic minorities on the number, place, and time of the relocation, allocating materials to meet them, and reserving the houses and fields allocated to them.

Shelong, also at the request of Zhang Cheng, stayed in Chang'an for a day, and began to embark on the return journey, dozens of bantam horses, there are many Guanzhong specialties given to them by Li Shimin, toothbrushes, soaps, and even perfumes, spirits, exquisite glass, silk, porcelain, all kinds of delicious and easy-to-store canned food, and some military uniforms, spring, summer, autumn and winter, so that he embarked on the return journey, his heart was very full, thinking about holding these good things, in front of the clansmen.

Now, he has made up his mind to do one thing, that is, to complete the task entrusted by Li Shimin, as long as this way, his people can enjoy these good things for a long time.

Outside the Yanping Gate, Zhang Ruyan held a pipa and played a song for his brother, the reason why Zhang Cheng wanted to stay for one more day was to see the little sister wearing the current dress of the art troupe, no one knew that he hid a letter in the little sister's room, if the little sister happened to be able to see this letter, it would be providence.

Women always like to cry and cry in the face of separation, which is something that a man like Zhang Cheng does not want to see, so he waited for the little sister's song to finish, and then whipped the horse's ass hard, so that he could disappear from the sight of the little sister as soon as possible.

Of course, there are still a group of people in Chang'an who are not in a hurry to leave, that is, Ah Yue's father and daughter and many tribal leaders in Lingnan, Feng Ang sent them to Chang'an, just to avoid letting them see their tribe falling apart, and they will be reluctant, so they will come out to do things, so they are not in a hurry to let them go back, after visiting Chang'an, Uncle De will arrange for them to go to Weinan to have a look, and even go north to Shanyang, in short, in addition to letting them play, it is to let them play.

Ah Yue has now begun to follow Yu Xiu'er to systematically learn Han musical instruments, singing and dancing, her brain is smart, she has a talent for language, she learns quite quickly, and she can help Yu Xiuer deal with two more and more clingy little guys, which makes Yu Xiuer save a lot.

It is not easy to think that Cheng Chumo, his ass is swollen all the way to Shanyang, however, Sun Xiangfu always has a reason to let him be beaten, and he thinks it is worth it, in the rush time of more than half a month, he finally figured out a set of tactics for using iron grain trucks to deal with various invading enemies, and at the same time, in terms of scout reconnaissance, he also brought the advantages of the telescope to a higher level.

What Cheng Chumo didn't expect was that when he saw Yu Chi Baolin again, it was when his buttocks were swollen and it was uncomfortable to walk, but this thing was still seen by that guy, so he had to prevent this guy from doing black things from time to time.

"Hey, monkeys don't walk like you! What's the matter, they are all mixed into two spikes and three generals, and they have to be beaten every day! ”

Yu Chi Baolin is naked teasing, what he said about two ears and three are the two ears of wheat on Cheng Chumo's shoulders and the rank of three silver stars, the military rank system is implemented here in the Anbei Army, half a year earlier than Chang'an, and Yu Chi Baolin, who has been in Shanyang for a while, is naturally recognized.

knew that Yu Chi Baolin was sarcastic about him, but Cheng Chumo had nothing to refute, so he could only look at Yu Chi Baolin's increasingly fat face, and clenched his fists.

"How did you go back to Shanyang? Your Majesty has given you the task of making the entire people of Xue Yantuo sing Chinese songs and fall in love with the culture of the Han people. ”

Sun Xiangfu was also a little surprised when he saw Yu Chi Baolin under Shanyang City, this guy didn't write a letter to himself before.

"If you don't come back, you can't do it! Dongzhu is pregnant, I am worried that it will not be good for her to give birth in Ulaanbaatar, or the medical conditions of our Shanyang Medical College are good, it is said that when Mrs. Sister-in-law gave birth, you cut her belly and took it out, and besides, adults and children are fine, I didn't think that it would be ten percent safe to bring her to Shanyangsheng. ”

"That's a last resort, it's not necessarily safe, but I'm still congratulating you on becoming a father in advance, and your father will come later, maybe how happy it will be!"

The three of them talked and laughed for a while, and then saw Chu Suiliang and a cadre of civil and military officials from Shanyang greet the team, and after greeting each other, the big guy walked to the city and talked about business.

"The Metropolitan Governor, the workshops in Shanyang have produced a specified amount of ordnance and equipment in accordance with the requirements of the imperial court, and at present, they can continue to produce as long as they can transport enough raw materials from all over the country."

There is an advantage in Shanyang production equipment, that is, coal is cheap, labor is not expensive, and Shanyang is only three or four thousand miles away from the northeast front line in a straight line, and the middle is all grasslands.

But there are also many disadvantages, that is, it is a little far away from the Central Plains, such as heavy objects in metal minerals, the north produces less, and if you want to transport it from the Central Plains, you need to take one or two thousand miles by land, the transportation cost is very high, and the supply chain is not as neat as Chang'an and Luoyang, where waterway transportation is developed, if the demand is too large, it will often stop work because of the insufficient supply of raw materials.

"How is Your Majesty's palace being built?"

"The main building has been completed and has begun to enter the decoration period, however, due to the more luxurious requirements and more special installations, the decoration time may be greater than the time of the main building, and it should not be completed until next year."

Two years to build a modern and tall palace, this speed is already fast, however, along the way, Sun Xiangfu found that something seemed to be missing.

"What about the prince?"

"Well, in recent months, the crown prince has been on the side of Dingxiang City."

"Your Majesty will arrive in Shanyang in two days, isn't the prince afraid of something if he doesn't hurry over to prepare to greet him?"

Hearing this, Chu Suiliang felt deeply guilty, according to the will, Li Chengqian should have stayed in Shanyang to study politics, but since he discharged the play "Condor Heroes", it was deeply liked by the people, so he proposed to him that he wanted to go to Dingxiang City to perform, Chu Suiliang knew that this drama had the political significance of promoting national integration, so he agreed, who would think, after Li Chengqian went to Dingxiang, he would not come back.

His play is too popular in Dingxiang, in the face of the fanatical gaze of the Hu people, he suddenly felt that he had found the value of life, in the face of Chu Suiliang's repeated urging, he was indifferent, in the past half a year, he has not learned much in politics, but as in history, he likes to wear a Hu costume and enjoy the drama theater.

"Zhang Ke, now, immediately, immediately, go to Dingxiang, and tie up the prince to me and tie me up, Changsun Chong knows the importance of this matter, and he will support you."

Sun Xiangfu, who corresponded with Chu Suiliang and Changsun Chong, knew that these two people were busier than one person, Li Chengqian didn't make trouble for them, where would he have time to discipline him all day long, and Li Chengqian, who gradually began to enter the rebellious period, was not as easy to manage as a few years ago, he always had some of his own ideas, as a subordinate, you still have to take care of his feelings as a future monarch, and you can't be too strict with him when you talk and do things, otherwise, I am afraid that the future end will not be good, and there is only Sun Xiangfu who is not afraid of his revenge in the future. only to dare to be tough in front of him.

Poor Zhang Ke, the logistics army that was tired of training Cheng Chumo all the way, arrived in Shanyang, and he didn't even have to drink saliva, so he had to run to Dingxiang with all his strength, which is more than 200 miles! In two days, you have to run a round trip, and the key is to bring the delicate prince with you on the return trip.

"Chu Thorn History, let the officials of the various ministries gather at the yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate first, report to the work, and in addition, send someone to the nursery and inform my second brother that they will come together!"

In a sense, Sun Deshou is already a substantive official of the Yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate of Anbei, because he presided over this year's spring ploughing in Beidi, and the effect is not bad, after the time enters the middle of June, the growth of various crops and seedlings is very good, especially the oats that are half grain and half grass, after the fields planted by him have been regularized, this year's output is enough to supply the livestock of several large captive farms in Shanyang to eat, as for spices, cotton and various melons and fruits, in the case that most of the Hu novice farmers are responsible for the specifics, it also ensures a high survival rate. The growth is not inferior to the results of last year's Guanzhong, which is quite rare.

The officials of the various departments were already in the team to welcome Sun Xiangfu, and they had already prepared to report the work, and after Sun Xiangfu sat down in the hall of the yamen of the Metropolitan Protectorate, Li Hongyu, the household official of the General Division, first reported on the work of civil affairs.

As of this spring, there are 1.2 million households, about 3.5 million people, and the reason for such a large population growth is that in addition to more small tribes that originally graze scattered on the grasslands have settled in the nearby cities, the number of people with five surnames and seven families who have moved out of the Central Plains accounts for the majority.

Now, there are almost 400,000 households under the jurisdiction of Shanyang County, 300,000 households in Dingxiang, and the rest of Wulan, Tai'an, and Shangqi have more than 100,000 households each, and Shanyang and Dingxiang are relatively concentrated.

Then after the tax aspect, this year also has a greater growth, in addition to the construction of the four major counties, a variety of commercial taxes have increased significantly, agricultural tax exemption policy will also expire this year, after the autumn harvest, on the agricultural side of the levy of taxes, will be Shanyang's new tax growth point, after all, before this piece of tax is completely absent.

Judging from Li Hongyu's report, as of June, Shanyang's tax revenue has exceeded one million, and for the whole year, the sum of the entire northern land can completely exceed three million, which is not counting the tax overflow that the Hu business team that will arrive in Shanyang soon.

After that, there are various aspects of construction, the construction of Shanyang City, basically into the end, and then continue to build, that is, the demolition of old houses and transformation, which is inevitable, because in order to seek speed, many aspects of Shanyang's construction are simple, a great waste of land, which needs to be slowly corrected.

All kinds of not advanced factories accounted for nearly a quarter of the city, later, with the transformation of the industry, some factories, need to move to Dingxiang, or other county towns, such as animal husbandry industry and leather factories, in the pasture and herdsmen more Dingxiang is more suitable, smelting and forging plant, in Wulan City is more suitable, there to receive iron ore from Hebei Province and the northeast region, it is more convenient, and Shanyang, to begin the transformation to the central city, focusing on education, talent transportation, etc.
