On the morning of July 15, after bidding farewell to King Xian, Bailiyan led 1,000 cavalry of the forbidden army, and together with 2,000 cavalry troops from Zhou Kong's department, he went to Liang to mourn.

At noon that day, in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, Xihuan talked to Ji Jinsheng:

"He Baili Yan is iron-hearted, he has to fight against my Jin Kingdom, the eldest grandson has a way to go, he has to go to defend the country, what kind of heart do you say he presses!"

"Your Highness, the king is now anxious about the earthquake in Yaocheng, Zhouya County, and it is beneficial for the king to stabilize the defense of the country in Xianguo. At least the Xian country does not send troops, and our country has a natural disaster, so that the eldest grandson can fight and defend the country in a short time. ”

At the next moment, Xihuan's eyes sank, and a grim look appeared on his face:

"It's better not to find a chance to get rid of him halfway, if he dies in the territory of the country, this account will not be relied on even if the country wants to."

"Your Highness, Baili Yan can't be killed. At present, the royal guests, the Ligong faction, and the Xiong Dao all have requests for Bailiyan, and the Weiguo does not want Bailiyan to die in his country, and the forces of all parties will inevitably protect it secretly, not to mention the full escort of the guards who enter the territory of the Weiguo, and it is difficult for the assassins to start at all.

Even if you do it in the territory of Liang, there is a risk of being discovered by the royal guests, and the princess will be very passive at that time. It is better to wait patiently for the crown prince to ascend the throne and reduce his power under house arrest. ”

"Then watch him succeed step by step!" Xihuan said angrily, and then said: "Marry with the Marquis of Lu and reconcile with the country, he is clearly planning to attack the palace and the Jin country in the future, and let him continue to live, if he does not go to the day when the prince ascends the throne, if he does not go to the guard, what can the palace endure!" ”

Xihuan is very entangled at the moment, when she married the prince Jiang Yu, Xianguo was a ruined people, and in just over 20 years, the vicissitudes of life were huge in the world.

She is now thinking more about how to get this property, put it in the hands of his son, and enjoy the glory and prosperity of the second half of her life, which is contrary to the original intention of swallowing up the Xianguo back then. So now the one who doesn't want anything to happen to Xianguo is Xihuan.

However, Bailiyan's existence has become the biggest obstacle for her to grab the fruits of victory, killing, killing, waiting, waiting, waiting, especially like a mang's back, not to be unhappy.

Ji Jinsheng thought for a moment, and his attitude was still extremely cautious:

"If you want to get rid of Baili Yan, it's not impossible. This time, he traveled to Liang by land, and if he could take the sea route on his return, he might be able to capsize and kill him in the sea. ”

"To go by sea and land, you must pass through the eldest grandson, this time he could have taken the sea route, but he went to defend the country, in order to guard against the eldest grandson plotting to kill him, how can he go to Beihai and return to Xianguo."

"It's man-made, Bailiyan went to Liang to mourn is not his original intention, for the gold ore of Liang is the real purpose, if Xianguo wants to transport the ore back, it must go by sea and land, maybe let people go to Liang to plan from it, so that Bailiyan will change his mind and return to Xianguo from the sea, and then sink it halfway in the boat and kill him."

"This ......" Xihuan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "This palace heard that the Xianjun army can stay at sea for two months now, and it is only a month and a half to take a boat from Liang to Beihai to Xianguo.

Besides, this time it was gold ore that was being escorted, and the salty army and navy would inevitably be heavily escorted, so that their ships could be capsized in the sea. ”

"Please rest assured, as long as you are sure that Baili Yan will go to sea by boat, he will dig a hole in the keel of his boat in advance, and he can walk on the sea on weekdays without incident, if he encounters strong winds and waves, especially at night, then he will definitely die."

"Oh!" Xihuan's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is this method really feasible?" ”

"Feasible! If it is just right to chisel on the keel, it will be unaware for a while, and once it encounters strong winds and waves, it will cause a catastrophe. ”

"Well, immediately send someone to Liang State, try to get Baili Yanyu on the boat, and sink him in the sea and drown. Remember, don't use Hongu people, so as not to be exposed and caught. ”

"No!"

The keel is the bearing beam of the hull, and the bottom of the ship will not sink if it is chiseled through one or two places, and the keel will be broken and overturned immediately, and the cracks and even perforations on the keel will not cause dangerous accidents for a while and a half, but as Ji Jinsheng said, if you encounter strong winds and waves, or at night when Baili Yan is ripe, it is really a place to die.

The westward journey Bailiyan walked quite fast, the whole journey was either by car or horseback, the gallop road with a wide ratio was flat and smelly, and it was much more comfortable to ride a car than to ride a horse.

After nearly 15 years of construction of the Wagon Battalion, the Xianguo Chi Road, the official road and the main road leading to the local county have been repaired and expanded in stages, with a two-way four-lane road width, the improvement of road rolling equipment and tools has accelerated the construction of road administration, and the improvement of infrastructure has promoted commercial development and military mobilization.

When passing through Tailai, Longsheng and Zhongxing, Bailiyan inspected the local people's conditions and economic conditions.

Soon after the Black Turban Rebellion was suppressed, Tian Peng and Fang Liang led their troops back to be resettled here, first, to restrain the local new people, and secondly, few people in the country could suppress these "Diao people".

In the thirteen years since the naturalization of the new vassals, the population of the Xianguo has increased to more than 1.5 million, and the new population is not only the population of the new vassals who have increased by natural fertility, but also the population of foreign immigrants, but most of the people who have moved in are women of the Xianguo and foreign princes.

In addition, the xenophobia of the new subjects is very serious, excluding most of the male ethnic groups except young women, and the Xian people or foreign nationals who have moved in from abroad are extremely exclusive.

Relying on the special language skills of proficient in Jinxuedi and the huge population base, it formed a relatively closed and xenophobic ethnic group, and the civil and military officials appointed by the imperial court were basically decorations in the local area in the early days.

Ten years ago, Bai Liyan selected a group of teenagers between the ages of 14 and 16 and sent them to Yongxing City for training, and then successively returned to the three places to serve as grassroots officials, with Fang Liang and Tian Peng in charge, which barely maintained effective administrative jurisdiction over the local area.

In addition, Bai Liyan also found that after these newly attached Central Plains residents got used to the social rules of the Central Plains, their brains were very smart.

During the southern expedition, he found that the new subjects were very shrewd, far less simple than the Central Plains, and they fully accepted the culture of the Jinxuedi people, and attached great importance to economic understanding and resource plunder. Coupled with its bilingual environment, its brain turns much faster than that of the Central Plains. It can be seen that the collision of cultures is conducive to promoting the development of different civilizations.

Because the new vassals carried a large amount of gold and silver, Bailiyan issued a protection order to protect them from the exploitation and environmental impact of the Xian magnates, so that the Central Plains people had enough time to adapt to the Central Plains society, and at the same time protect their property.

Therefore, in recent years, many of the new generation of Central Plains residents have used the large amount of capital in their hands to run businesses, and their business is generally better than that of the local groups in the Central Plains.

Leaving Zhongxing, Tailai, and Longsheng, the horse team went south to Qiunan along the gallop road, and a large area of farmland along the way was growing gratifyingly.

Bailiyan plans to promote and cultivate the successful three-crop rice in Beihai, Dongyuan, Jiangbei, and Xianxi in the next two years, and then push it to the south for 400 to 600 li after the seeds are adapted for five to ten years, so that more than half of the Xianguo can be planted with three-crop rice.

In the two counties of Suidang and Qiunan to the south, due to the influence of latitude and climate, Bailiyan considered planting two crops of short-term rice with the seeds of three-season rice, and the temperature was slightly higher in winter, so that some other cash crops could be planted to increase the income of local farmers.

The experiment of three-crop rice began nineteen years ago when the rebels retreated westward, and shortly after the completion of the construction of Yongxing City, Bailiyan began to consider the problem of three-cropping rice.

Xianguo benefits from latitude, more than half of the country's areas can grow two and a half crops of rice a year, and thirty percent of the land can grow five crops in two years, but the time is still a little tight, so it is seven crops in three years and twelve crops in five years. Only Changsun Guo can grow three seasons of rice a year, and more than half of its land in the country can grow three seasons of rice, and the yield per mu is slightly higher.

Most of them are also because they have no worries about food and clothing, and the people of Changsun are very lazy, and it is difficult for the infantry to become a climate, but the fishermen along its coast have been fighting with the sea for a long time, but they have developed a very fierce character, and the influence of the natural environment on people can be seen.

After 19 years of uninterrupted selection and cultivation, the seeds have basically adapted to the climate of Beihai in Xianguo, and have the basic conditions for the gradual promotion of three-crop rice.

Planting two seasons a year, manpower is already very fortunate, breeding, transplanting, harvesting all have to be manpower, another season, farmers are basically farming all year round, a large number of laborers are trapped in the field.

Industrial production and education and promotion require a large number of basic population, and the improvement of seed potential once requires a long period of investment and cultivation, and it is still very difficult to achieve generally high yield per mu in the short term.

Before leaving, he went to the design and technology department, the practical motor and single-cylinder internal combustion engine technology tends to mature, the sample has been off the assembly line, Bailiyan began to consider the realization of power generation and internal combustion engine technology within eight years, basic steam or hydroelectric turbine power generation and four-cylinder, six-cylinder, eight-cylinder internal combustion engine technology within fifteen years.

At the same time, we will promote the construction of railways, power plants, and harvesters, realize the scale of transportation, the electrification of machinery, and the basic automation of harvesting five basic industrial projects to improve social efficiency.

Leaving Qiunan and entering Pengyuan, Bailiyan did not stop, and kept rushing to Wanchuan to meet Guan Longxiang, Zhao Le, Zhao Sheng, Mo Yunfeng, Bao Rui, Xu Jin and others.

Two years after the fall of the black scarf, the Xianjun rewarded the reform of the military system, Mo Yunfeng, Bao Rui, Li Jian, Zhu Youchen and others were handed over to Bailiyan by Gongsun Yue, Xu Jin served as the general of the first town, Xiao Qu served as the governor of Dadu, and Bao Rui and Li Jian also served as the governor of Dadu, with 50,000 soldiers.

Mo Yunfeng served as the general of the second town army, Zhu Youchen was the governor of the capital, and two governors of the Xian army were transferred to the town army, and Guan Longxiang concurrently served as the Sima envoy of the first and second town army.

Zhao Le and Zhao Sheng served as the county guards of Ganfu and Shangguan respectively, and Guan Longxiang also served as the county guard of Wanchuan. Basically maintain the full state before the annexation. At the same time, the rich rewards and lulu greatly stabilized the morale of the army and the hearts of the people, and at the same time, the "self-willed degeneration" and "rapid corruption" of Huang Che and others were widely praised as positive teaching materials, and the threat of the newly attached rebels was basically eliminated in the past few years.

In addition, Xianguo is politically enlightened, economically developed, the common people live and work in peace and contentment, the army has a salary to pay, and enjoys material treatment that ordinary people do not have, and the rebellion has no actual benefits and benefits.
