Chapter 96: Long-term planning

Mao Wenlong squinted at Chen Jisheng, then got up and walked to the window with his hands behind his back, and said faintly: "In the next few days, it is very likely that there will be Jinyi Guard." ”

Chen Jisheng, Liu Guangzuo, and Chengzuo were all stunned, they didn't understand why Mao Wenlong suddenly said such a thing.

Liu Guangzuo didn't care: "Chief soldier, why should we worry about the Jinyi Guard, the Jinyi Guard of the First Dynasty may still need to be scrupulous, but now...... It's not that it has been abolished by the current emperor. ”

Cheng Zuo also echoed at this time: "That's right! What is so terrible about Jinyiwei, if they are honest, we will not be as knowledgeable as them, if they come to make trouble, see one and kill another. Our Dongjiang Army is not afraid of them! ”

Chen Jisheng also felt that what the two said was reasonable at this time, and took a step forward to persuade: "Chief soldier, although Cheng Zuo and Guangzuo are a little angry, it is not unreasonable. Jinyiwei is now in decline, and we don't need to scruple at all. Moreover, the matter of our grain robbery has now passed, and as long as Hong Chengchou does not pursue it, we don't need to worry too much. ”

After hearing this, Mao Wenlong fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long time. Jinyiwei is indeed in decline now, but the spies who went to investigate reported that Hong Chengchou was very low-voiced when he received Jinyiwei who went to visit.

Obviously, Hong Chengchou was very scruples about going to Jinyiwei in Hancheng. If Jinyiwei really declined, it stands to reason that Hong Chengchou, a trilateral governor, would definitely not need to do this, but he did it anyway.

There are many doubts in this, Hong Chengchou is definitely a hero, and he will never be so polite to the declining Jinyiwei for no reason.

It's a pity that Mao Wenlong knows very little at present, and he can't see through the cats in this at all. This is also the reason why he has been worried, people will always feel troubled unconsciously when faced with unknown situations.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong sighed lightly and said: "Maybe what you said is right, I am too worried!" ”

Mao Wenlong finally chose to put down the package in his heart, and now Ye County has completely controlled Zi's own hands. The Dongjiang Army also has a place to live, and there is no need to worry about food and grass.

Now it can be said that it is smooth sailing, and it is the time for vigorous development, striving to make the Dongjiang Army strong before the chaos in Shaanxi spreads to Henan Province.

In this way, it can better accept the test, and once war breaks out, the Dongjiang Army will inevitably be caught in the whirlpool of competition between several forces.

In the face of the peasant army, as long as Mao Wenlong has sufficient grain and grass, he can completely ignore them. On the contrary, these peasant armies were also his preferred targets for recruiting and expanding his forces.

As for the imperial court, the biggest threat is none other than Hong Chengchou, but now Hong Chengchou's daughter is already the woman by his side. In the future, he will also become a family with Hong Chengchou, which is an opportunity for Mao Wenlong to win over Hong Chengchou in the future.

Even if Hong Chengchou was unwilling to join Mao Wenlong's side in the end, he was still loyal to the imperial court. Mao Wenlong also believes that Hong Chengchou will look at his daughter's sake and will not easily start a war with him.

As for the rest of the Tartars, Mao Wenlong will not worry at all, to put it bluntly, the Tartars can win in the end completely by winning over the generals of the imperial court.

and encountered a good time for the internal turmoil in the Central Plains, and the internal turmoil in the Minting Court was the first, so the Houjin was given the opportunity to enter the Central Plains.

Now, Mao Wenlong came directly to the hinterland of the Central Plains to settle down, and he took these into account during the period. With him here, Sichuan, Shaanxi and Henan will not hurt their vitality in the end.

At that time, as long as Chongzhen is not in a hurry to fight with him, he will definitely be able to prevent Houjin from stepping into the Central Plains.

Mao Wenlong asked Chen Jisheng and the three to step down, and then he also walked out of the house. The depressed mood that had been depressed for a few days finally improved a little, and I suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

As soon as Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan learned that Mao Wenlong had finally stepped out of the door, they rushed over as soon as possible. Mao Wenlong is their pillar, and he is their man, and if he doesn't care about him, there is nothing worth caring about in this world.

Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan hugged Mao Wenlong's arm and chattered with him about the things on the farm.

Hundreds of acres of sweet potatoes are growing well, but because the weather is too dry, the water source for irrigation is extremely limited. As a result, the farm had to increase the amount of manpower needed to carry water from a large river several miles away for irrigation.

It is also because of the irrigation problem that the agricultural development of Ye County has been restricted, and Mao Wenlong's farm has been maintained at nearly 1,000 acres.

If he wanted to expand his farming, he would have to bring water from a large river a few miles away. And this is an absolutely big project, according to Mao Wenlong's current strength, it is not possible to do this.

The afternoon sun was not so fierce, and Mao Wenlong, who was in a good mood, was rarely idle, so he decided to take Mei to the farm to go to the farm, and by the way, get some vegetables and fruits to cook tonight.

The second daughter wished that Mao Wenlong could come out for a walk, so naturally she would not refuse his invitation, so she happily ordered someone to arrange a carriage and then go out of the city together.

The farm is ten miles outside the city, built on the mountain, and the nearly 1,000 acres of fields that have been opened up are all fenced. There is no end in sight to the fields of sweet potatoes, and the ground is full of green vine leaves.

The scene is full of life, and compared to the bare mountains around it, it seems like two different worlds.

The bare mountain, where the trees had been cut down, was ordered by Mao Wenlong to plant some trees. However, due to the lack of management and the severe drought weather, the survival rate is not high.

Mao Wenlong was very helpless about this, if such a harsh environment did not cause bad weather, it would be strange. The bare mountains have no vegetation, and the people only know how to cut down but do not protect them, and the environment will only get worse and worse in the long run.

If it is not improved as soon as possible, it is not impossible that this land will become a desert sooner or later.

The carriage soon entered the farm, and Mao Wenlong did not let the people in the farm accompany him, and after listening to his report on the current situation of the farm, he asked him to retreat.

I took Chen Lan and Hong Ziyan to walk in the fields, and when I saw something I liked, I picked some back and prepared to eat at night.

But when the three of them walked to the foot of the mountain, Chen Lan saw the saplings planted on the mountain. When Chen Lan ordered someone to plant trees before Mao Wenlong, she always had doubts in her heart.

At this time, she saw that Mao Wenlong was in a good mood, so she took the opportunity to ask: "Xianggong, why do you want people to plant trees on the mountain?" ”

In Chen Lan's view, letting people plant trees on the mountains is simply a waste of manpower and material resources. Nowadays, the people are busy cultivating the land, and in order to transport water for irrigation, the Dongjiang Army needs to send nearly 10,000 people to help every few days.

But Mao Wenlong still had to let the people, who were already too busy, put down their work in the field every few days and come to take care of these small saplings.
