The pattern of Xining Wei is too small, and it is a place of four wars, the military pressure is great, and it must be expanded outward, the last time Wu Shaoling told Li Zicheng that the other guards of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division can basically be self-sufficient in food, he moved his mind, this time Liu Yunshui brought back the topographic map of the Nian Bo Institute, and the defense is like a fictitious, why not make him excited?

It is located between Xiningwei and Shaanxi Province, which is the junction of the military town and the civil administration, and it is the necessary place for Xiningwei to go north to Zhuanglangwei, and it is the first important place for Li Zicheng to expand Xiningwei, and sooner or later it will be taken.

Li Zicheng pondered for a moment, but said: "Yunshui, I know your thoughts, but we have just taken over Xining, and we can't take too big a step, among the seven hundred households, three are expanding the army and temporarily losing their combat effectiveness, in addition, the Triangle City has not yet been completed, and we will also need to leave a certain number of soldiers in the future." ”

"My lord, we already have Xining, and Triangle City is a wild place, so don't repair it!"

"Yunshui, what are these words?" Li Zicheng scolded: "The Triangle City is a buffer zone between us and the Mongols, if there is no Triangle City, the Mongols will go south sooner or later, and our rear is unstable, how can we expand eastward?" ”

"My lord, my subordinates know their mistakes!" Liu Yunshui was still a little unwilling, "But what the mill ...... about"

"Yunshui rest assured, we will take it sooner or later, but we have to wait for the opportunity, and when Xiningwei really settles down, we will not be too late to take it," paused, and said: "Yunshui don't need to be in a hurry, when you take the mill, you will still use your hundredth household, but now, we should pay close attention to training and strive to fully restore combat effectiveness as soon as possible!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

After Liu Yunshui said goodbye, Li Zicheng immediately summoned Wang Anping.

Wang Anping's rangers, who had temporarily given up interrogation of the Mongols, had withdrawn to the vicinity of Xining and strengthened their surveillance around Xining.

This time summoned Wang Anping, Li Zicheng asked him to put the rangers in the area of Nian Bosuo and Zhuang Langwei, in addition, he also had to send two capable soldiers to Shaanxi to inquire about information, whether it was thieves or officers and soldiers, the more detailed the better.

When Li Zicheng returned to the back office, the bedroom was lit from the inside to the outside, and he couldn't help laughing, the family really couldn't do without women, and it was only less than a day after coming, and the family was completely different.

He pushed open the door, Chen Qiudie was lying on the seat in the front hall, she was about to fall asleep in a daze, and when she heard the sound of the door opening, she got up from the recliner with a bone, rubbing her eyes with her little hands, and shouted: "The adult is back?" ”

Song Yulian laughed wryly on the side, "Have you eaten?" ”

Li Zicheng first hugged Chen Qiudie in his arms, and then replied: "I've already eaten, haven't you eaten yet?" Why don't you eat it early? ”

"The adults haven't gone home yet, how can the maid eat first?" Song Yulian saw that Li Zicheng was hugging Chen Qiudie, and her face was also overflowing, "Die'er, since the adults have eaten, let's go eat, let the adults rest first!" ”

"Hmm!" Chen Qiudie obediently got out of Li Zicheng's arms and went to the dining hall with her mother, but she turned back three times in one step.

Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Die'er will grow her body after eating first," and said to Song Yulian: "When it's time to eat in the future, if I don't go home, or eat outside, you don't have to wait for me." ”

Song Yulian agreed, and Chen Qiudie thought that night, the adults had said that she would eat more and grow her breasts, but she ran away with a red face.

Li Zicheng looked at his new home, it was different to have a woman, the house was well organized, not only the two bedrooms were neatly tied, but even the tables and stools in the hall were wiped clean, I don't know which of the mother and daughter is the credit.

As soon as she finished visiting the whole house, Chen Qiudie jumped over, "My lord, the maid is full!" ”

"Full? So fast? Li Zicheng touched her head, "Die'er, you have to eat more, and your body will grow faster!" ”

Chen Qiudie remembered that sentence again, her face was flushed, she lowered her head and said weakly: "That...... Eat more in the future. ”

"That's right," Li Zicheng removed his hand, "Isn't Die'er sleepy?" Then go to bed early! ”

"Well," Chen Qiudie nodded, walked obediently to the inner room, took two steps, and found that Li Zicheng did not follow, so he stopped and said timidly: "My lord...... Don't you come in? ”

Li Zicheng then remembered that she should be her own woman, and she naturally had to sleep in the same bed at night, but in this way, she would be very uncomfortable, this is not a matter of a day or two, she must be clear with her, otherwise sooner or later it will cause her misunderstanding, she is a little girl, and it is easy to go to extremes.

Besides, Chen Qiudie is still a child, and now she is not even her own woman, where she sleeps at night, she can't always have the final say, not today, not in the future, the army has military discipline, and the family must also have family rules, if she is pampered and arrogant, she will suffer in the future.

But Chen Qiudie is now very attached to herself, as can be seen from the situation when she was sleeping on the recliner waiting for herself just now, the rules must be established as soon as possible, but it can't hurt the little girl too much.

Li Zicheng slowly entered the inner room, closed the door, Chen Qiudie was happy again, she blushed and took off her clothes, and got into the quilt, but lifted the corner of the quilt and looked out secretly.

Li Zicheng threw himself on the bed and pulled her head out from under the quilt, "Die'er, listen to me!" ”

"Adult......" Chen Qiudie saw that Li Zicheng refused to take off her clothes, knowing that things were different from what she thought, her little face had changed color slightly, and there was a little disappointment in her eyes, she choked up and was a little speechless.

"Die'er," Li Zicheng forced himself not to look at his eyes, "You are still young, and your body can't serve adults, and when Die'er grows up in the future, I will often stay here." ”

"Your Excellency...... Didn't you stay overnight in your servant's bed the day before yesterday? Chen Qiudie raised her chin slightly, and there was undisguised longing in her eyes.

Li Zicheng had no choice but to tell the truth, "Die'er doesn't know, if I stay with you, it will be very uncomfortable...... Didn't your mother tell you? ”

Chen Qiudie propped up her chin with her hand, frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and finally said, "The maid understands a little, my lord...... Adults if ...... The servant is willing to serve the adults now! ”

"I know Die'er is very obedient," Li Zicheng stroked her fleshy pink face, "But Die'er is still young, wait until she is with your mother...... At the same time, I will naturally let you serve," Li Zicheng's right hand reached into the quilt, poked into the cotton peach, and rubbed it gently, "Die'er wants to eat more, and her body will grow faster!" ”

"Well," Chen Qiudie lay down flat to facilitate Li Zicheng's movements, but asked in his mouth, "Are you going to your mother's place?" ”

"Well," Li Zicheng didn't intend to lie, this is a common thing in the future, Chen Qiudie must gradually learn to adapt, "Your mother is also my woman, and when Die'er grows up, I will often stay with you." He touched Chen Qiudie's small mouth lightly, pulled the quilt for her again, and turned around to go to Song Yulian's bedroom.

"Don't adults stay at Butterfly's?" Song Yulian's eyes showed joy, but it disappeared in an instant, replaced by the calm of Gujing Bubo, she was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, probably ready to go to bed to rest, seeing Li Zicheng come in, her body involuntarily moved to the side, making room for Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng sat down beside her unceremoniously, one hand on his fragrant shoulder, "Lian'er wants me to stay at Die'er's?" I'm a man, I can't be Megumi Yanagishita every time! ”

"Poof!" Song Yulian thought of yesterday's suspicion that he was a eunuch, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud, Li Zicheng took pity on Chen Qiudie, she had a sense of gratitude in her heart, if it wasn't for saving Die'er from fire and water, she wouldn't agree to Li Zicheng's stay overnight, Die'er was too young after all.

If she could save Die'er, she would rather put on her own body, so she didn't make an active resistance last night, she thought that when she arrived in Xining, she could be liberated, but she didn't expect that she had fallen in, and she was puzzled by Li Zicheng's home, "Is there really no woman in Xining?" ”

Li Zicheng smiled: "Isn't there now?" As he spoke, he unbuttoned her collar and leaned in from above.

Song Yulian didn't dodge, she bowed her head shyly and said, "My lord, if Die'er grows up, will she resent her servant?" ”

"I've already told her a little bit just now, and you have to tell her in the future that this is the Li family, and it's up to me to decide where I want to stay at night," he paused, "Die'er is quite well-behaved, I believe she will understand." ”

Song Yulian knew that Li Zicheng was going to set up family rules, a big family, this is a normal thing, so she nodded her head in agreement, but said shyly: "My lord, my son...... The maid is much older than the adult......"

"Big?" Li Zicheng had completely mastered his Jade Peak, "Besides here, where else are you bigger than my lord?" ”

For the next three days, Li Zicheng stayed in the craftsman's workshop.

With the cooperation of carpenter Yu Blacksmith, a perfect curved plough was finally produced, and Li Zicheng rewarded ten taels of silver, and then asked them to work overtime to catch up with the production.

Li Zicheng doesn't care, he needs a lot of farm tools now, and he needs some of the cultivated land along the Beichuan coast before the snow comes, the more the better, and if the time comes, you can also plant winter wheat.

It doesn't matter if the farm tool is damaged, it can be recast in the future, and the key now is that there must be a plow available.

The people themselves also have some farm tools, but there is no zigzag plow, just rely on two teeth and the like to plough the ground, the speed is too slow, once the sky snows, all the reclamation work must be stopped, can only wait for the beginning of spring, but in this way, not to mention winter wheat, even the lower yield of spring wheat may not be able to catch up.

Li Zicheng also arranged boats, and once the number of Quyuan plows reached a certain number, he would use boats to go upriver along the Beichuan River and deliver farm tools to the people in time.

In addition, Li Zicheng also transferred a part of the cattle from the Jinyintan Ranch and gave them to the people for free to help them cultivate the grassland.

There is another thing in the craftsman's workshop that makes him happy, that is, the dowry that Song Yulian gave to Chen Qiudie, in addition to five hundred taels of gold, is ten guns of lu, which is a sharper firearm than the Daming arquebus, with a long range, great power, and more convenient to fire.

In his memory, Da Ming later imitated this advanced firearm, but it has not reached the original power of the Luqi Gong, and it is estimated that it is not realistic to want the little Xining Wei to imitate the Luqi Gong, besides, he has a more advanced firearm technology, and he can't look down on the Luqi at all.

The important thing is that in the process of disassembling the gun, the firearms craftsmen will improve their production ability and lay the foundation for the future development of advanced firearms.

Li Zicheng hurriedly had dinner, came to the study, and carefully read the written Chinese pinyin, and found nothing missing, or rather, he did not find any omission for the time being.

He Xiaomi came over in a hurry, "My lord, a message from Triangle City." ”

"Triangle?" Li Zicheng muttered softly, a little impatient in his heart, at this moment, don't make any baskets in the triangle city, could it be that the Mongols are coming?
