"Prime Minister Xiao, you try it."

When Deng Yulong spoke, he first sat on a chair.

Watching Deng Yulong sit down, Xiao He tried to walk to the chair opposite and sit down with his buttocks.

It feels weird to sit down, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it.

"Prime Minister Xiao, how do you feel?"

Xiao He's right hand lightly pointed at Deng Yulong, and said with a smile: "You kid, do some weird things." ”

Deng Yulong's behavior and language habits gave him the feeling that he was very different from others, and this time he found a different chair and table, but he felt novel, and there was no big surprise.

Chunlan walked into the living room with a tray of teapots and cups, and Xing'er poured tea for the two.

The two chatted while drinking tea, first talking about some off-topic, and after chatting for a while, they quickly got to the point and talked about business.

Xiao He came this time not only to see Deng Yulong's living situation, but also to learn more about the military affairs in the past three months from Deng Yulong.

As long as it is not something that must be kept secret, Deng Yulong will give Xiao He a general description, which will surprise Xiao He.

Three months ago, Xiao He thought that Deng Yulong was a great talent and could be qualified as the commander of the three armed forces, but with the gradual development of military work, especially the training of soldiers and horses, the progress achieved still exceeded Xiao He's expectations, and he praised Deng Yulong again.

At noon, the two of them had lunch together, this was the first time Xiao He had eaten while sitting with his buttocks, although he was not used to it, but this feeling seemed to be quite good.

After eating enough, Deng Yulong asked Xiao He about the recent government affairs, especially those related to the military.

According to Deng Yulong's prediction, it is most likely that troops will be sent to Guanzhong between late autumn and early winter, and Xiao He has been preparing for this and preparing various logistical needs. Among them, weapons and grain and grass are the most important.

At present, the Han court has effectively controlled every county under its jurisdiction, and there are iron ore mines in several places, especially in the southernmost part of Shu County, there is a large iron ore mine with a very good output.

Deng Yulong knew that the southernmost part of Shu County during this period was the modern Panzhihua City, which was rich in iron ore resources.

After the minerals are mined, they are transported to Hanzhong County, which has built a number of weapons workshops to build weapons in accordance with the specifications and quality required by Deng Yulong.

As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the crops in this period mainly include millet (millet), wheat (wheat), millet (rhubarb rice), rice (rice), and soybean (soybean), which were called five grains in ancient times. Among them, millet is the most widely planted and is the main staple food. Although rice is cultivated, it is confined to the south and has not yet been promoted.

Xiao He estimated according to the previous crop harvests in Hanzhong and Bashu that under normal tax conditions, in the autumn and winter, the collected grain could supply the needs of 100,000 troops for 3-5 months.

Xiao He has a thorough plan for all the government affairs that Deng Yulong wants to understand, and they are all managed in an orderly manner, so that he can't admire them. This is indeed a rare domestic affairs talent, just like Liu Bang said in history Xiao He, Zhang Liang, and Han Xin, Liu Bang believes that Xiao He is the first of the three heroes.

The two chatted very happily, and Xiao He didn't go back until it was dark.

————————

Waste Hill, this is the capital of King Yong Zhang Han, Zhang Han is sleeping in the bedroom.

In the early hours of the morning, he had another nightmare.

Zhang Han dreamed of Xin'an, east of Hangu Pass, the scene where the 200,000 Qin troops he led were brutally killed by Xiang Yu, these soldiers were dead and blind, and countless unjust souls were glaring at him, which made him extremely frightened, and he had a deep sense of guilt, he was sorry for the Qin people, he deserved to die!

When the nightmare reached the most terrifying time, he was awakened.

By this time, it was already dawn, he was panting, sweating profusely, and still had lingering fears about nightmares.

There have been many nightmares like this, and Zhang Han once dreamed that when he was in Xianyang, Xiang Yu killed Prince Ying of Qin and all the officials, and the soul of Ziying wandered to him, counted his sins, and then came to ask him for his life.

"Someone..."

Zhang Han asked the palace maid to bring him wine, and then drank it in a big gulp.

Since Xiang Yu killed 200,000 soldiers in the pit, and then Xiang Yu entered the customs to kill the Qin royal family and officials, the guilt burned uncontrollably in Zhang Han's heart, making him more and more uncomfortable, living in pain and guilt.

Since he was named King Yong, he has patrolled the streets of the ruined hill several times, and everywhere he passed, the common people were very indifferent to him, and some even looked at him with hatred. Zhang Han didn't embarrass these people, he himself thought that he was sorry for the Qin people, and he had a deep sense of guilt and guilt.

At this time, his younger brother Zhang Ping hurriedly came in and retired from the palace maid.

"Brother Wang, I just received a report from the spies, Deng Yulong asked Fan Xu and Lu Juan to lead the troops to build the plank road, and it was strictly ordered that it must be repaired within the year, and the soldiers of the Han army were very dissatisfied with him."

When Xiang Yu had just been divided, Zhang Han quickly sent a few spies to Hanzhong and opened an inn in Nanzheng to secretly inquire about intelligence.

Whenever Liu Bang has an important movement, one of the spies will be separated to deliver the news from the rugged and thorny road, and it often takes half a month to pass it back from Nanzheng back to the waste hill.

Zhang Han calmed down his uneasy heart a little, and said: "As expected, Liu Bang is still restless, and after Xiang Yu withdrew from Guanzhong, he rebuilt the plank road to get out of Guanzhong. ”

Zhang Ping said: "Do you send a fast horse to report to Xiang Yu?" ”

Both of them hated Xiang Yu and called Xiang Yu by his name in private.

Zhang Han said: "No need, the plank road area stretches for two hundred miles, and it can't be repaired in two or three years, as long as we are guarding the north of the plank road, even if they repair the plank road, they can't beat it." As long as there is nothing we can't handle, we don't bother to contact that damn Xiang Yu. ”

Zhang Ping said: "Presumably, it was Deng Yulong who rushed to repair the plank road and led the army to Guanzhong in order to explain to Liu Bang. ”

Zhang Han agreed with this opinion and chuckled: "Deng Yulong is just a halberdier under Xiang Yu's account, Liu Bang actually let him be a general, even if it is a little bit of a catty, it is not easy to beat Guanzhong." ”

Zhang Ping said: "The plank road of Bao Slope Road and Meridian Road have been burned down, if they can't be repaired in a short time, will they send troops from Chencang Road?" ”

Zhang Han said: "Chencang Road has been abandoned for decades, and it can't accommodate everyone's passage at all, so don't worry about this, we just need to pay close attention to the situation on the side of the slope and take strict precautions." ”

Zhang Ping thought about it, and the two brothers both thought that Liu Bang could only die of old age in Guanzhong.

Subsequently, Zhang Han was drinking until he was drunk, so as to anesthetize himself, and there would be no guilt in the drunkenness.
