Chapter 254: Exciting Good News
Mao Wenlong went back to a temporary and peaceful life, slept until he woke up naturally, and accompanied his wife and Hong Ziyan to the farm college every day. Or just walk around the city and get up close and personal with the people and listen to their voices.
However, in ancient times, the people were simple and content, and as long as there was no war, they could have food and clothing every day, and they had hope for life, and the people had no other requirements. This made Mao Wenlong very unhappy, and if you want to progress, you must be motivated.
Most of the progress of society comes from the needs of all the people, and as long as there is demand, human beings will have the motivation to think and develop.
Therefore, Mao Wenlong felt that the people could not be too stable, and it was still necessary to simply be prepared for danger in times of peace.
Today, Mao Wenlong had just returned to Mao's Mansion from the market again, and he saw Haoda waiting at the gate of the mansion.
"What's the matter?" Mao Wenlong got out of the carriage and walked straight to the house, and only asked casually when he passed by Haoda's side.
"Chief soldier, this is the letter that has just been delivered, and it is signed by General Adou." Haoda said and handed over an unopened letter to Mao Wenlong.
Mao Wenlong was slightly stunned, it had been almost a month since Adou left Ye County. Since I learned that Adou had successfully killed the Jinyi guards in Luoyang City and knew that they had set off for Jingshi, there had been no news of them for more than half a month.
After receiving the letter, Mao Wenlong couldn't wait to open it, and glanced at it hurriedly, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.
"Let Chen Jisheng come to the council hall to see me immediately, and it should be time for the battle to begin." Mao Wenlong happily commanded Haoda, and walked towards the council hall alone.
Hao looked at Mao Wenlong's back and left in confusion, really curious about what Adou said in the letter, so that Mao Wenlong was so happy?
If you can't figure it out, don't think about it, this is already the skill that Mao Wenlong has learned to become a close guard during this time. There is always a time when he should know, and what he should not know, he should not ask.
Mao Wenlong went straight to the council hall, brought tea to him, and then retreated. He carefully read the letter again, in which Adou informed Mao Wenlong that they had arrived in Beijing and successfully assassinated three ministers of the DPRK and China.
Although he was not a big official, it still caused a small commotion, and the ministers were also quite nervous, and now the entire Jingshi has begun martial law.
"Since the chaos in Beijing, it should be a good time to send troops to fight in Henan." Mao Wenlong put away the letter paper and secretly paid in his heart.
Chen Jisheng then hurried over, this guy's face was full of excitement, obviously he had learned something from his vast mouth.
"Chief soldier, are we going to send troops to fight in Henan?" Chen Jisheng shouted as soon as he entered the door.
"Yes, the time is ripe, it's up to you." Mao Wenlong said with a smile on his face.
"The soldiers have already held their breath, and the 50,000-strong army is also on call at any time, ready to set off at any time." Chen Jisheng immediately said.
"Good! Three days later, troops were dispatched. Mao Wenlong immediately made up his mind.
Chen Jisheng was suddenly excited, he had been waiting for this moment for a long time, and today it was finally realized.
Mao Wenlong asked Chen Jisheng to retreat and prepare, and he called Hao in again: "Do you know how the progress is in Xuzhou now?" ”
In Xuzhou, Mao Wenlong was going to be used as a granary on his territory, spending a lot of manpower and material resources to clean up the river, in order to cultivate in the future. Now that we have begun to work on the whole of Henan, of course, we must ask about the situation in Xuzhou.
Haoda recalled it for a moment, and immediately said: "My subordinates remember that there was a Tang newspaper sent by Ye Yan just a month ago, and you were not in Ye County at that time, so your subordinates put it in your study, so you should still be there?" ”
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Haoda's face, he is a big and rough man, and he may be able to do it as a guard. Like some trivial things, he can't do it, especially some copywriting things, Mao Wenlong doesn't have a special person around him to take care of it, everything depends on the vastness, he really can't do it well.
Mao Wenlong was quite helpless, but he didn't blame Haoda, and he also began to wonder if he had to find such a person around him. There are not many things now, and if you take the whole of Henan in the future, you will definitely not be as leisurely as you are now.
Thinking about finding someone, Mao Wenlong also moved to the study, and soon saw Ye Yan's letter on the desk. Since returning to Ye County, although he has lived a leisurely life, he rarely comes to this study.
Mao Wenlong also doesn't like to read any copywriting, and if there is anything, he still likes to ask it in person.
Opening the Tang Daily, Ye Yan first gave a greeting and introduction from the elder, and only mentioned the matter of cleaning up the river at the end. From the beginning of Yejia Village, which was responsible for cleaning up the rivers in Xuzhou, it took almost half a year.
According to Ye Yan's description, most of the main river sections in Xuzhou have been completed, and now some small rivers are being cleaned up in batches. By the way, the excavation of irrigation channels has begun, and if nothing else, half of Xuzhou's land will be available for cultivation by the end of this year.
Mao Wenlong also saw that the original 80,000 people have now more than doubled, reaching about 200,000. The previously dug river channel has also entered normal cultivation, and the corn, sweet potato, and potato seeds given by Mao Wenlong are growing gratifyingly, and the first season can be harvested in about half a month.
Seeing this, Mao Wenlong already understood that the situation in Xuzhou was very good, and everything was progressing much more smoothly than he originally expected. Of course, all this is also due to the talents of Yejia Village, and Ye Yan's contribution is not small.
"Good, good! Looks like you'll have to take the time to go over and see for yourself. Maybe it's time for the cement that the academy has just developed to come in handy! Mao Wenlong muttered to himself, stuffed the Tang Bao into his arms, and then ordered Hao Dabei to get into the carriage and go directly to the farm academy.
The situation in Kaifeng City has changed, and there is no need for Hong Chengchou to supervise it anymore, so he followed Mao Wenlong back to Ye County. Now he is still dedicated to being his dean, living a free life of teaching and educating people.
And Hong Chengchou also began to learn about some other things in the academy, and he also began to be interested in the crops in the farm. The old guy has now moved directly to the academy and no longer stays in Mao's mansion.
When Mao Wenlong arrived at the academy, he happened to see Hong Chengchou discussing something with several old men in the farm in the fields?
"Why are you here?" Hong Chengchou was quite surprised to see Mao Wenlong arrive suddenly.
He knew that every time Mao Wenlong came over, he and Chen Lan came over to get vegetables and food. It's extremely rare to come alone like this, and seeing Mao Wenlong's face full of smiles at the moment, I don't know what to be happy about?
