From Deng Xiang to Shaoheng Defense Zone, the situation is different.

The rebels occupying the two states of Yongchen seem to have 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers and horses, but even if the rebels and the Jing navy that occupy the states of Lingnan Province in the south are completely colluded, their strength is far from comparable to the Liang army in the north.

To be honest, the main reason is that in the years since the founding of the country, Dachu has not been freed up.

Otherwise, the first thing to be cleaned up next will not be the Liang army, nor will it be Sichuan and Shu, but will choose one of the two major forces of Lingnan and eastern Fujian to conquer and expand the territory of Great Chu.

The ambition of the Jing Navy is not strong, even during the Jinling Incident, the Jing Navy had frequent contact with the Yongzhou rebels, and intended to take advantage of the civil strife in Dachu to merge the Yongchen and Yongchen states into its territory, but after Emperor Yanyou recovered Jinling and ascended the throne, the Jing Navy quickly became honest and couldn't wait to break off relations with the Yongzhou rebels.

For the Zheng family, if he can recover Yong and Chenzhou, he will not only be able to establish dazzling feats, but more importantly, if he can take over Yongchen and Chenzhou, it will be completely able to be used as his Zheng family's territory.

Not to mention that in the future, it can also expand its influence through Guizhou to the Lingnan Province states occupied by the Jing Navy in the south......

As far as the Late Red Mansion is concerned, Chai Jiansuo led the Zuo Shenwu Army, which can be said to be the line of the Changguo Mansion that was separated from the Late Red Mansion, and the Changguo Mansion has been defeated, and the Zuo Shenwu Army will be moved to Dengzhou and Xiangzhou, which can strengthen its control, and almost reunite the remnants of the Xinchanghou (Changguo Gong) Mansion into the banner of the Late Red Mansion.

And the transfer of troops and horses from Shuzhou to Suizhou, in addition to turning the entire Deng Xiang in the north of Jingxiang into their sphere of influence, can also win over Zhang Jiao, who is stationed in Jingzhou in the southwest.

It's no wonder that Lu Qingxia has no reaction to Tangyi, Huaidong, and Shouwangfu coming together these days.

At the end of the day, they have their own wishful thinking.

At this time, they chose to tolerate Tangyi, Huaidong, and Shouwangfu's peace, and of course they also hoped that when they were making wishful thinking, the Han family and Shouwangfu would not obstruct it; Or maybe when the time is right, they may directly find the Han family and the Shouwang Mansion as trading chips to talk about this matter?

Otherwise, even if the Zheng clan is willing to exchange defense areas, there is extremely little hope that this thing can be done.

It's just that Qianyang Hou Han Qian will sit idly by?

Yun Puzi pondered things in his heart, and when he came back to his senses, he saw that Lu Qingxia was still staring at him, and realized that Lu Qingxia was still waiting for him to reciprocate, so he said:

"Your Majesty may still be heartfelt, I said a few words to Wang Guifei today, 'soldiers are strong and horses are strong', and Your Majesty mentioned Shuzhou's book to me, an unrelated outsider - it is also strange to say, Your Majesty did not ask Shen Yang and Yang En about the method of strengthening soldiers and horses, but did not stick to the old way and talk nonsense, it is really strange."

Lu Qingxia frowned slightly, Yun Puzi's words were carefully pondered, and there were several layers of flavor in them, which corresponded to the information obtained from other channels, and it was also more detailed, and it could also grasp Yang Yuanpu's subtle state of mind at this time.

"Does Wang Guifei have expectations for the Marquis of Qianyang?" Lu Qingxia asked.

"......" Yun Puzi smiled and said nothing, but he was unwilling to tell the truth about the county lord of Qingyang's thoughts and thoughts.

"Emperor Zhu Yu of Liang rebuilt the old capital, I heard that Elm Lane has generally maintained its old appearance, have you ever thought that you can step into Elm Lane again in your lifetime, hold an oil-paper umbrella in the afternoon of heavy snow, and meet a girl panicking under the hooves of bandits?" Lu Qingxia seemed to be immersed in the past, looked at Yun Puzishuang's white sideburns, and asked faintly.

"The past is like a cloud of smoke, why do you mention this?" The corners of Yun Puzi's mouth twitched slightly, sighed and said, and then opened the curtain of the car in embarrassment, signaling the emperor to stop the car.

Yao Xishui didn't know the grievances between the older generation of characters, and even so far he didn't know why Mrs. Yun Puzi retired to Maoshan back then, and at this time he just watched Yun Puzi staggering out of the carriage and walking in the direction of Chongfuguan in the snow.

…………

Although Han Qian will directly welcome Wang Jun to Liyang City to get married, and will not hold a wedding banquet in Jinling, the Han Mansion has also been beaming with joy at this time to show that good things are coming.

More than a dozen bright corner lamps illuminate the courtyard in front of the Ming Ju Hall as bright as day.

Although Yun Puzi only learned about Shuzhou's book today, it was because he was in the Chongfu concept in the imperial city, and the source of information was closed, but Han Daoming, as the secretary of the household department and the governor of the political affairs, had already seen the original letter yesterday.

Today, Feng Yi crossed the river on behalf of Han Qian to talk about things, and Han Daoming directly handed him a copy of Shuzhou's letter.

"Shuzhou can get such a letter, it should be that he has secretly communicated with the Zheng family, right?" Feng Yi looked at the copy, put it on the corner of the table, and guessed with Han Daoming.

His judgment of the whole matter is more direct, after all, he has been pondering the movements of Lu Qingxia, Li Zhihe and others for a long time, and even the Queen Mother Wang Chan'er has summoned Zheng Yu several times in a row, and they have also paid attention to it.

As for what kind of conditions Lu Qingxia and the others can exchange with the Zheng family, it is not difficult to guess.

Han Daoming nodded and said: "For such an important matter, if Lu Qingxia and Li Zhihe did not secretly communicate with the Zheng family and directly played the letter, it would be tantamount to giving up the initiative, and it would be easy to fall into great passivity." ”

"We currently have our own most important things to do, and we have no time to drag others back; And Hou Ye's attitude and posture have always been that he disdains to drag others back,"

Feng Yi said,

"This year, Xuzhou's cotton planting has not continued to expand, but Tangyi has newly reclaimed 300,000 acres of cotton fields, and the cotton cloth to be exported in the coming year will be as high as 6 million horses, and the lint that has been rolled will be as high as 10 million catties. In the follow-up cotton weaving industry in Xuzhou and Tangyi, even if the foreign trade remains at this scale and does not expand, it can still directly contribute millions of dollars in taxes every year; Not to mention that it can increase the financial resources of a larger scale and continue to invest in and expand production in Xuzhou and Tangyi. However, if the common people in Jiangdong, Huaidong, Jiangxi, Jingxiang and other places can be familiar with and recognize the benefits of cotton wool and cotton cloth, it will take a process, which may be three or five years, and may take a longer time - at present, the Hunan prefectures and the counties of Qianzhong have been exposed to cotton cloth for a little longer, and the degree of acceptance is higher. What Hou Ye means, outside of Xuzhou and Tangyi, what we have to do is to do everything possible to speed up this process......"

"What can I do in the DPRK?" Han Daochang asked.

"Hou Ye's meaning, if the household can strive for this year and next year to successfully include cotton cloth, cotton wool, and hemp and silk silk into the list of physical items of the autumn endowment, in the conversion with silk silk and kudzu hemp, and then slightly increase the price of cotton cloth, it can make many follow-up things relatively easy. At that time, the Chishan Society will also further reduce the price of cotton exported to Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan and other places, and some people in the local area will see that there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, and they will have enough motivation to drive them to buy cotton cloth and cotton wool at low prices, and replace silk silk and Ge Ma to pay the autumn payment."

Feng Yi talked about the purpose of his crossing the river into Jinling City on behalf of Han Qian this time, and said,

"The second, I also want two adults, to fight for the forbidden army and the guards of the pro-army generals and uniforms in the court and the central government, and they have changed from the early kudzu hemp to cotton cloth and cotton wool. Cotton cloth and cotton wool are much superior to the filling of kudzu and grass wool in all aspects of warmth, and the two adults can be angry in the political hall, in the ministries and departments of the loud voice to call for compassion for the generals, and promote the reform of military uniforms and winter clothing. When the state and county escort a large amount of cotton cloth and cotton wool into Beijing as a tax in kind to offset the central income, the central center should first think about how to use these cotton cloth and cotton wool, instead of hoarding them in the treasury. ”

Han Daochang served in the Department of the Degree Branch, nodded and praised: "This strategy is very good, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops and guards have several sets of military uniforms, winter clothes and bedding every year, and it takes millions of cotton cloths and two or three million catties of cotton wool to be enough a year." If the imperial court rewards officials and eunuchs and includes cotton cloth, it will further promote the export of Qianyang cloth. ”

Feng Yi said: "I crossed the river and came over, and I felt that these two things should be slowly figured out, and I couldn't be anxious, but when I saw Shuzhou's letter, I thought in my heart, if Lu Qingxia and Li Zhihe have no deal with the Zheng family, if there is a deal, Xiangye and the two adults can take the opportunity to play a trick and bring up these two things." These two things, if they can be done before the end of the year, even if it is just a hole, next year's Tangyi will be much easier. ”

Not to mention Xuzhou, if half of the newly reclaimed 300,000 mu of cotton fields in Tangyi can be successfully exported, it also means that Tangyi can exchange all kinds of materials equivalent to 780,000 stone grains and grains, which means that Tangyi can reclaim more paddy fields next year.

At present, Xuzhou has formed a relatively mature system of continuous cropping of cotton and wheat beans in dry fields, rice and oilseeds and wheat and bean crops in paddy fields.

This year, Tangyi gave priority to guarding the Chuhe River and Fucha Mountain, and the inner barren land was restored to cultivation, which was also dominated by high-lying dry land, and there was no extra money, grain and manpower to build dams, canals and other water conservancy facilities.

Therefore, the fields that have been restored in the early stage are mainly waterlogged and drought-tolerant cotton, and after the autumn harvest, they will be replanted with wheat and beans, and the harvest will be in the spring of next year.

However, with the deepening of follow-up construction, the construction of polders and the excavation of canals have been carried out one after another, and there is also spare time to build more waterwheels, and the reclamation of paddy fields in low-lying areas and conducive to rice cultivation is now gradually expanding......
