Yang Yuanpu now went out of the city almost the next day to the cantonment military mansion, in addition to listening to the lectures of the long history Shen Yang, he also personally participated in the training of generals and even the cultivation of soldiers.

In addition to Han Qian, Yang Yuanpu probably has the most sense of urgency, and he can even say that he always thinks about getting rid of the shadow threat of Anning Palace a moment earlier.

A few months after Han Qian left Jinling, more than 400 seriously ill patients died of the epidemic one after another, but the Dingkou on the side of the cantonment military government did not shrink any longer.

On the one hand, the vast majority of the hungry people have settled down and new babies have been born, and on the other hand, under the impetus of Xinchang Hou Lipu, after the military department has reduced the number of military households in the cantonment camp, tens of thousands of displaced people near Jinling City have been incorporated into the cantonment military government, so that the actual number of soldiers in the Longque Army has been restored to 12,500 households.

In the view of Xinchang Hou Li Pu, since the Longhuai Army can organize more than 12,000 soldiers, the number of soldiers and households will naturally be strengthened, and its strength will not be weakened, but the problem is that the number of people will not be increased, and the additional military funds will not be increased, and the financial situation of the cantonment military government is really precarious.

At present, there are a little more than 44,000 people in Dingkou, and Shen Yang is also a very talented and capable official, who knows the art of agriculture and construction, so he will be forced to speak to the three princes by Emperor Tianyou, who also attaches great importance to practice, and he himself is also very sympathetic to the plight of the displaced people, and he has also tried his best to run the cantonment military government in the past year, but only 100,000 acres of dry land have been reclaimed in Taowuji.

When Han Qian came back, the last harvest of this year had just been put into storage, and winter wheat had just been planted in the field, but after calculating the year's cultivation harvest of the Cantonment Military Mansion, it was converted into 120,000 stone japonica rice.

This is already a very high yield in the world, quite an annual yield of two stone millet per mu of dry land, converted into one stone and two buckets of japonica rice, it can be said that Shen Yang has a very high attainment in agronomy, and he is already a great talent in the world; However, it is almost half of the annual per capita grain production in the Jianghuai region.

At the same time, because all the cultivated land is used to grow grains, and there is no extra land for growing cotton and linen, which are also necessary for life, the vast majority of soldiers and their dependents are still in rags at this time, and they should not expect to be able to change into new clothes in a short time.

At this time, it was the middle of September, and Yang Yuanpu, Li Pu, and Shen Yang must consider warm clothing, otherwise it will be difficult to survive this winter.

At this time, Shen Yang was organizing people to harvest the reed flowers on the beach along the shore of Chishan Lake, or hammering the straw and wheat stalks into the fold and filling them into the tattered clothes, hoping to barely survive the cold winter.

Last year, Shen Yang only had two manes dyed with cream, and this year's hair is almost gray.

Xinchang Hou Li Pu, Chai Jian, Li Chong and others, the reason why they did not accuse Han Qian too much of advocating and secretly trading with Tanzhou this time was actually the batch of materials that Han Qian brought back, which could temporarily alleviate their urgent needs.

Five thousand stone of grain can be saved to cope with the spring famine, and one thousand horses of homespun cloth can be filled with reeds to make three or four thousand sets of winter clothes, so that at least ten thousand generals of the Dragon Bird Army can barely survive the cold winter.

Seeing that there were many men and women in their teens with yellow faces and thin muscles, all working in the fields with bare buttocks, Han Qian couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and said to Xinchang Marquis Li Pu, who also accompanied him to the cantonment camp military mansion today:

"You shouldn't have taken in so many displaced people!"

In the face of Han Qian's blatant questioning, Xinchang Marquis Li Pu was naturally a little unhappy in his heart, and secretly felt that this son might be trying to use this to break off the involvement with the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion step by step, and finally formed a family of his own under the command of the three princes, however, Han Qian said so in front of the three princes, but Li Pu wanted to explain, saying:

"The northern front is tight, we don't accept these displaced people, the displaced people from Jinling and nearby prefectures and counties will also be incorporated into the army and move to the northern front this time."

Li Pu didn't know that the money and food of the cantonment military government were tight, but he was afraid that he would miss this stubble, and if he wanted to organize the Dragon Bird Army to more than 12,000 soldiers, he would have no chance.

"The soldiers are not expensive, and so many dingkou have been recruited at once, if you can't solve the problem of hunger and cold, it will not be conducive to the people's hearts and minds," Han Qian spoke in front of Xinchang Marquis Li Pu at this time, and he would not go around the bend, and said in a deep voice, "Looking at this situation, before the winter of this year, His Royal Highness and the Dragon Bird Army must strive to be able to participate in the war." ”

In addition to the prestige that the three princes want to build personally, the newly trained generals need to be tempered from the battlefield in order to become old soldiers and fierce soldiers, and from the current financial considerations of the military government, it is also more necessary to participate in the war.

As long as the Longque Army is allocated from Jinling, even if it is only to recruit 35,000 generals to reinforce the northern front, before it is drawn from Jinling, the supply of 35,000 generals will be supplied by the Privy Council, which can actually save 35,000 stone of grain consumption for the cantonment military government every month.

And more importantly, after the Dragon Bird Army left Jinling City, it went north along the road, and it was impossible for the government along the line and even the place where it was stationed not to give filial piety; Otherwise, a slight relaxation of military discipline would be enough for the local community.

If you can make military achievements, the follow-up rewards can also make the life of the cantonment military government in the next year relatively nourishing and relaxed.

Xinchang Hou Li Pu originally thought that the war that might break out on the front line of Shouzhou and Gwangju this winter would have nothing to do with them, but they didn't expect that it would only be two days after Han Qian came back, and they themselves were shaken.

…………

…………

After Yang Qin, Feng Xuan and others unloaded the goods into the military government's warehouse, Han Qian asked them to dock the ship at the dock in front of the military government's Tucheng and hand it over to the craftsmen of Gong Cao to help repair it, while the shipwreck sailors and the guards of the fleet and boat gang were taken by Lin Haizheng to live in the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard, and they should also take advantage of the break to reorganize.

When they left Xuzhou, Zhang Fan went down the river at a very fast speed, and the river bandits and water bandits along the coast did not have time to react, so they were not in distress along the way.

When the goods are loaded and returned to Xuzhou upstream, it is difficult to say whether the road can be so calm.

Even if Han Qian made up his mind to clean up the four surnames one day, at this time, he also hoped that the children of the four surnames could contribute their strength when resisting the invasion of the Jiang bandits.

Han Qian even secretly told Feng Xuan that he must strictly train his sixty men, and when he really encountered the Jiang bandits, he and Yang Qin would need to cooperate with each other to resist; He would also secretly supply Feng Xuan with some of his armor.

In the military office, Han Qian directly found Feng Zhang and others, and in front of the third prince Yang Yuanpu and Xinchang Marquis Li Pu and others, they talked about bartering and other things, and Feng Zhang and others did not refuse.

On the one hand, they want to transport the materials that are abundant in Jinling and in short supply in Xuzhou, on the other hand, the cantonment military government is embarrassed, but it is also tens of thousands of elites, and the grandeur of the Linjiang Marquis Mansion has also been seen, they don't think that the three princes and the Xinchang Marquis will ignore their little money.

Four million coins, converted into gold, are only more than three hundred taels; However, after these things were negotiated, Han Qian was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Before nightfall, Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, Chai Jian, Li Chong and others led the guard battalion to escort Yang Yuanpu back to the city, and the prince was not allowed to stay overnight outside the city without special permission; Shen Yang left Han Qian, Li Zhihe, Guo Liang, Zhou Yuan, Zhang Qian and others to have a banquet and talk about things in the military mansion.

The so-called drinking banquet is also quite simple, the wine brewed from berries is sour and astringent, a plate of bacon, and a few plates of fruits and vegetables, which is also a good thing that Shen Yang can take out to feast guests as a long history.

Seeing that Shen Yang's hair was gray, Han Qian was a little unbearable.

Shen Yang never wanted to get involved in the matter of fighting for succession, but since the establishment of the cantonment military government, he has spent the most effort.

"I haven't seen you for months, and it's really hard for my husband." Han Qian took a sip of sour fruit wine and said to Shen Yang.

"Han Mansion is a capable official, Fan Da has helped me do a lot of things these days, if I didn't want to ask you first, I would have recommended him to join the military mansion." Shen Yang said.

More than a year ago, Fan Dahei was still a somewhat wooden martial artist, and these days he was driven by Han Qian to put ducks on the shelves, and even during Han Qian's departure from Jinling, he also led the affairs of the sub-workshop and the craftsman's workshop, and he was somewhat haggard, but he boasted that he could barely cope with it, and he himself felt that it was a miracle.

And Lin Haizheng was only the leader of the barracks, and most of the scouts in the barracks were transferred out of Jinling by Han Qian, and the burden on his shoulders was much easier.

Han Qian looked back at Fan Dahei, who was kneeling behind him, in surprise.

Fan Dahei is his family soldier at this time, even if his status is higher than that of a slave who is equivalent to animal property, but he is not a free body, and being recommended as an official by a figure like Shen Yang is actually a rare opportunity to get out of the identity of a family soldier and be promoted.

With the Great Chu law system, only middle and high-level generals like Shen Yang are qualified to recommend others as officials, and only one or two people can be recommended every three years; Otherwise, the two concubines of his uncle Han Daoming's family would not have been able to step into the official career today.

It's just that he didn't ask to go to the door, why did Shen Yang take the initiative to take this matter over?

Seeing Han Qian looking over, Fan Dahei lowered his head respectfully, for fear that Han Qian would misunderstand that he had asked Shen Yang for something in private.

Han Qian turned his head and said to Shen Yang with a smile:

"Fan Dahei can be appreciated by Mr., he really has eaten eight lifetimes of shit luck."

Li Zhihe, Guo Rong, Zhang Qian, and Zhou Yuan all gave up their hands to congratulate Fan Dahei.

After drinking, Shen Yang and Li Zhihe still wanted to continue to talk about military affairs, but Han Qian said with a smile: "I just went back to Jinling, I am very tired, and I don't expect to straighten out all the affairs accumulated over the months in one day, today is not early, if there is anything, let's talk about it tomorrow." ”

With that, Han Qian got up and said goodbye and left.

He was silent all the way, and when he returned to the Qiuhu Mountain Courtyard, Han Qian asked Zhao Ting'er to bring a basin of hot water to soak his feet, which were a little swollen after running all day.

Lin Haizheng came over to report the matter, Han Qian waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious, let's leave it until tomorrow." ”

Fan Dahei wanted to speak and stopped.

Han Qian glanced at him, exhaled lightly, and said, "Secret Cao Zuo Si can't see the light yet, except for me who is also the deputy commander of the guard battalion, I still can't give you an official identity for the time being." However, if the Dragon Bird Army really wants to go out this time, even if you don't directly participate in the war, there will still be military merits, and when the time comes, I will help you get some military merits from the three princes, and it shouldn't be difficult to give you the status of a low-level commander. Why are you so anxious, thinking about Mr. Shen Yang's personal recommendation? ”

"......" saw that Han Qian's face was a little wrong, Fan Dahei "plopped" and knelt on the ground, Mu Ne didn't know how to explain for himself.

"Da Hei has taken a fancy to Lord Zhang Qian's daughter, it seems that she has reached the age of eighteen, and she can't delay getting married, maybe Lord Zhang Qian came forward to ask Lord Shen, right?" Lin Haizheng knew some of the situation, and he explained with envy when he stood next to him.

No matter how small Zhang Qian is, it is impossible for him to agree to his daughter marrying the Han family's soldier, after all, if his daughter really wants to marry, she is legally equivalent to the slave of the Han family - so if Fan Dahei wants to marry Zhang Qian's daughter, he must first remove the identity of the Han family's soldier.

"Oh, so that's the case, it's a good thing," Han Qian looked at the two of them, waved his hand a little haggardly, and said, "I will keep an eye on Mr. Shen Yang and quickly implement this matter, so as not to miss the matter of hiring - you all should retire first." ”
