"So, you dragged more than 5,000 people to the Hetao with you at once?"

"Yes, Da Sima. The last general didn't expect the source of soldiers in this level to be so good. If it weren't for the limited food and grass, the last general would have thought that it would be no problem to pull 10,000 people out directly. ”

"The source of soldiers in Guanzhong is of course excellent, but the key is that there were many deserters some time ago. Whether it is the original Guanzhong soldiers or the Luoyang Chinese Army, which belongs to Guanzhong, they are all good soldiers, the only pity is that their generals and emperors are too wasteful. In this way, you can add a little more people, make up a whole number, and 30,000 people will go to the Hetao. ”

That's what the last general thinks, too. In this way, troops can be sent in a short period of time. ”

"Well, if you think the time is right. In short, the cattle and sheep of the begging department have already entered the circle and cannot be moved, so they can only be fixed in one place to be beaten. Moreover, the road is hard in winter, and it is very convenient for both the cavalry to gallop and the follow-up food team. If it drags on a little longer, the weather will get warmer, the road will thaw, and the mud will surge...... That's really bad. ”

"The last general knows, please rest assured, Da Sima, and resolutely set off before November."

"Well, you're the commander of this expedition, and I won't be too much of a hindrance to you. It's all up to you. Ben will have just one thing, meat, plenty of meat! Otherwise, Guanzhong will not be able to survive next year's autumn harvest. ”

"The last general will definitely send back a large amount of meat to alleviate the food shortage in Guanzhong."

"Good, well, are there any special surprises when you go down to recruit this time?"

"Ah, speaking of which. Da Sima, this time the younger brother of the last general has picked up a treasure in Chiyang County. There is a strong man in the local area, whose surname is Beigong, and his single name is a male character. He was eight feet tall and skilled in martial arts. The last general competed with him yesterday, hehe, not much worse than Zhong Ying! ”

Wen Yang danced to introduce Beigong Xiong below, but Guan Yi's mind was completely hooked in another direction.

"Ciqian, does this Beigong Xiong have a son?"

"Huh? How did Da Sima know he had a son? Well, this Beigong Xiong has three sons, and the eldest son was killed by a group of thieves when he grabbed food with others some time ago. The second son has been frail and sickly since he was a child, and he is half a waste. But this third son, according to him, is a baby with a huge belly. That day, Ji Wei wanted to take him directly back to Chang'an as the last general's personal guard, but he was not happy. When asked the reason, he said that his family's San Lang had a huge stomach, and if he didn't move the food back quickly, the family would starve to death. Hahahaha~~~"

Ah, the famous No. 1 soldier in the Western Jin Dynasty, Beigong Chun, Beigong Saburo! It should be you!

"That, Ci Qian, do you mean to let Beigong Xiong be your personal guard?"

"What is Da Sima going to do?" Hearing Guan Yi's playful words, Wen Yang jumped up suddenly: "Da Sima, this Beigong Xiong used to be a soldier in Guanzhong, and he has a lot of prestige among many veterans in Guanzhong. The last general valued him not only for his martial arts, but also for this. With him with the army, the last general will have to control these deserters from the former Jin Kingdom, but it will be twice the result with half the effort. ”

Seeing Guan Yi's still meaningful smile, Wen Yang became even more anxious: "Da Sima, there is Bo Ding by your side to be the head of the guard." This person, you don't want to rob the general, right? ”

Ciqian thought of where he went. This official does not want Beigong Xiong. The official wants his son, well, it is their family's San Lang. ”

"Da Sima, what do you want to do?"

"Nothing, huh? The official's family has just arrived in Chang'an, and my eldest son, Guan Fu, is almost ten years old this year, and he still lacks a playmate. Let Beigong Xiong's San Lang be a companion for Fu'er. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Da Sima is going to raise this family. Good, so Beigong Xiongdang will completely return to my heart. This will be done immediately. ”

"Well, go ahead. It's been a hard time. ”

After seeing Wen Yang go away, Zhao Yi, who was sitting next to him without saying a word just now, stood up: "Brother, Yi's eldest son is almost four years old this year.......

Hey, I'm TM...... You don't want to do this, okay? If this continues, won't our Renaissance Society become a new gate valve that is intertwined with each other?

"Guowei, your son is too young, let's learn Meng first. Well, Guan Hui, the second son of his brother, will be five years old next year, and he will go to school after the establishment of Mengxue in Chang'an. Let them be together when the time comes. ”

"Thank you, brother."

Hey, it's really helpless. No, I'm in a bad mood if I go on like this, so I have to change the subject.

"Zilian, how is the conscription going now?"

"It went very well. After the conscription order was issued, more than 50,000 people in the five eastern counties of Yongzhou (excluding Longxi) enlisted, and the quality of the soldiers was extremely high. In view of this, the last general had already issued an order to the Taishou of the five counties of Longxi, only giving them a quota of 5,000 people, and the remaining 25,000 people were all recruited in the five eastern counties of Yongzhou. ”

"Good, Hugh Rangong, what about you?"

"After the order to dredge the ditch and pay for work is issued. The people of Guanzhong enthusiastically applied. As of today, the old man has received reports from the following counties, saying that more than 200,000 people have asked to participate in the dredging of ditches. ”

"Good, change it, and order Chengdu to bring some more money over. I want to take this opportunity to expel the five baht of the Jin Kingdom from the ground in Guanzhong! ”

"Well, my subordinates will handle this later."

"Well, there is one more thing, Xingzong has already set off from Chengdu, right?"

"The subordinates received news this morning that Xingzong had set off from Chengdu ten days ago and went in the direction of Jianye. It's just Da Sima, your strategy this time, in fact, there are still many people in China who have doubts. ”

"Hehe, what's the matter, they think that I took the initiative to send new rice seeds and potato seedlings to Sun Hao's family to be the enemy?"

"Not really. After all, everyone knows that once the new rice and potatoes are spread throughout the Han Dynasty. The exodus of good seeds is absolutely unavoidable. ”

"That's it, instead of the time when the school of Soochow secretly steals the good seeds and returns to China. Why don't we send them generously now. While reaffirming the covenant, he also took this opportunity to ask Sun Hao for food to come back. Hey, this official is desperate for food now! ”

"This is not only the big Sima is anxious, but the officials above and below my big man are anxious. Therefore, before Xingzong set off, he made a bold statement, if Sun Hao didn't give him two million stone of grain, he would swallow all the new rice seeds and potato seedlings he brought with him! ”

"Hehehe, everyone. Actually, this new rice seed is not only a potato seed, but also a potato seedling. For Soochow, its usefulness is really not as good as our Han. After all, the place is good, and there are fertile fields and lakes everywhere. Soochow's problem was not a lack of grain production, but a lack of manpower that prevented a large number of tidal flats and swamps from being developed into fertile land. Therefore, even if we send new rice and potatoes, as long as the national policy in Soochow does not change and the population controlled by the state does not grow, they will not be able to get any benefits from the new rice seeds and potato seedlings. On the contrary, the silverfish in Soochow, after getting new rice seeds and potato seedlings, will have a greater desire for population, and will be more unscrupulous in encroaching on the country's population. ”

"I see, Da Sima Gaojian! I'll wait. ”

"Well, ladies and gentlemen, it now looks like order is about to be restored in Guanzhong. As long as we do the dredging of the ditch and continue to search for eggs. Spring wheat planting in Guanzhong in the coming year will definitely yield a bumper harvest. If everything goes well on Zhuge Xingzong's side, and another two million stone grains are imported into Guanzhong, then the recovery of Guanzhong, and even the entire Yongliang, will be just around the corner! ”

Hey? I said such a high-level thing, why don't you obey it?

Guan Yi, who came back to his senses, looked down, ouch, my two ladies, why did you come to the council hall?

"Xia Guan and the others have seen two ladies."

"Uncles and uncles, concubines are rude. You are discussing national affairs, and we and other women should not come in and disturb them under any circumstances. But have you forgotten what day it is? ”

"Huh? Ouch! ”

"Huh? That's right! ”

"Hahaha~~ Today is the big day of Mrs. Simanaru."

"Sins and sins, I'm waiting here to entangle Da Sima with some mundane things, and I have forgotten that Da Sima has something important to do today!"

"What time is it? Ouch, there's still three quarters of an hour to go. Hurry up, my house is a little far from here, I don't know if it's too late to go back to get the gift......"

Seeing the arrival of the two ladies, the civil and military forces below suddenly dispersed. Guan Yi could only smile bitterly.

Hey, speaking of feudal society, it's good, the eldest wife hurriedly finds a little wife for herself, such a day is really comfortable.

"Hehe, two ladies, my husband is too busy on weekdays. This matter, from beginning to end, was handled by the two ladies, and it was hard work. ”

"Where, the husband and the emperor's little sister are concubines, but for the heart of the Yongliang family. This is a private matter, and it is also the official business of the Han Dynasty. The husband is really hard. ”

Yes, Guan Yixin's concubine is Huangfu Yan's own sister, and she is only sixteen years old this year...... Moreover, although it is said to be a concubine, the family character of the Huangfu family is noble in the end. Therefore, Guan Yi also promised that all etiquette should be done according to the standard of marrying a wife.

Thanks to the careful arrangement made by Chen Qiang and Liu Ling in advance, the entire Great Sima Mansion quickly became brightly lit. With the help of the two ladies, Guan Yi changed into auspicious clothes, walked out of the mansion, and set off towards the Huangfu family's house.
