Opened and repaired the national canal

Li Hu took Yang Yanyan home, and then went to Baojun with Yang Yanyan, but it was only a few days, so it was not yet the New Year, and in the middle of winter, he set off again.

This time, Dia Bird directly gave him the title of commander-in-chief, and the army directly under him expanded into a military government, and transferred two first-class military government Niu Lu, and also prepared a number of staff for him, joined the army, and officially formed his line. Before leaving, Li Hu also did his homework, proposing a general strategy of suppressing bandits in the northwest and then in the northeast, and proposed that there are many wilderness in the northwest, little vegetation, and that horse bandits and small tribes that have not surrendered have a large range of activities, which are easy to wander and grow, and cannot give them enough time, so they must be exterminated first. The northeast is all primeval forests and mountains, and those who do not surrender are difficult to form a scale, and it is not conducive to searching, so it is necessary to put it in the back and only make preparations in the early stage.

Dia Bird was satisfied.

It is better to have a strategy in mind before sending out the army, than to take one step at a time.

He stood on the city tower, sent Li Hu away, and arranged Yang Yanyan's affairs.

First of all, Aunt Yang and her daughter-in-law were going to be taken to Yuyang.

This is a political task, and if Yang Yanyan's relatives stay in Jingkang, if someone with bad intentions finds out something, they may be coerced and cannot stay in Jingkang. And if he wanted the old lady to move away, Li Yuanyang racked his brains and asked people to take turns to go into battle to get this thing done. At this moment, the two looked at the blue brick courtyard in front of them, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the large courtyard that had just been built at home. The big yard has just been built, the family has land and surplus grain to raise sheep and sheep fat pigs, and there is a big stone field, the surrounding villagers are familiar with it, this is taken over, although the yard is very good, the servants are on the side, and finally feel uncomfortable.

The servants were brought in by the hook, several, and they were not allowed to do anything, and they rushed to do everything, but they just felt bored when they stayed, especially when no one came to them.

However, a few days later, Yang Yanyan also transferred to Yuyang, and the two felt that their home was a little lively. It's just that she came back this time, the schoolwork was scary, just after school, back by car, there was a female teacher to the door, and then class, until the evening, the next day, another female teacher, and then another course, for several days without the same, unconsciously there was an extra study at home, and the books in the study were more and more day by day.

Occasionally, when I had leisure, Aunt Yang asked Yang Yanyan, last time Li Hu took her to Tongjing, she saw who in his family, as soon as she asked, Yang Yanyan laughed, saying that Li Hu has two grandmothers, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, younger brothers, and sisters are very many, except for his father and aunt, she didn't remember people at all, so they had a meal together, saying that they were going to toast with Li Hu, and they were talking with the wine, it was almost midnight, Li Hu and her aunt were afraid that she would be hungry, so she asked her to eat first, and asked Li Hu to go by himself, that day, many relatives gave a meeting gift, were also registered by Li Hu and her aunt, Li Hu said that some things were too valuable and should be returned to them.

Sister-in-law Yang was also curious about what Li Hu's family was like.

She began to reminisce, and finally said: "The house is so big, in pieces, in pieces." It's almost the same as the house of the county government in Yi County, and many of them are not even bricks. It's just that the house is much cleaner than the county yaxin. ”

She felt that she was very detailed, but in fact, Aunt Yang and Sister-in-law Yang couldn't restore it in her mind at all.

The New Year is coming soon, and I don't know what the people in my hometown are doing, how to go to the relatives law during the New Year, ask Li Yuanyang, Li Yuanyang said that Li Hu may not be able to come back for the New Year, but Yang Linggang knew that he would come back to Yuyang, and he had already told him that he was going to leave his relatives after the New Year, and he would escort them back, so they were relieved.

Rest assured, but still live like a year.

There was no way, Li Yuanyang gave them tickets for the opera garden for three days, and let his newlywed wife come to accompany them out for a walk and see the new look of Yuyang, which is very different from the Central Plains.

But Yuyang is a city, although the wave of westward expansion has gone a lot of people, there are still many houses, roads, cars and livestock, and it is difficult to go back if you go out far and turn around.

This year, this is how it passed.

After the New Year, it was better, and the neighborhood got to know some neighbors, but people could interact with each other.

As soon as this came and went, Li Yuanyang had a headache.

Yang's mother felt that she had a lot of leisure time and good bones, so she had to take her daughter-in-law to wash clothes, soles and insoles for others...... or collect money or not collect people's money, so that the people around them are sent to the house.

Every time Li Yuanyang came, he didn't know how to persuade him when he saw the laundry in a corridor, but he only had a lot of headaches.

This new job also affects Yang Yanyan.

Yang Yanyan moved to Yuyang to study women's school, the women's school she studied was also a good school, and many of her classmates in the women's school gradually knew that her mother and her sister-in-law were washing people's clothes, so they discussed privately, saying that her mother relied on pulp laundry, so hard for her to go to school, she ate well and wore luxury, and she spent money to hire a carriage when she went to school.

Now the Yang family is very well-off.

Not to mention the land and stone quarry in his hometown, the money for the boat sold by Yang Linggang alone is astronomical, what will it become in the end?

Li Yuanyang didn't say anything in his mouth, he was thinking in his heart: The king asked him to bring them in, give Yang Yanyan the best school, and invite the best gentleman, which is all to cultivate her aristocratic style, and she will block other people's mouths in the future, what has become of it now? It's not as good as before, but he is also a big landlord in his hometown.

mentioned it euphemistically a few times, and even privately invited Li Duocai back from Tongjing to persuade him, but it was useless.

It was when Yang Yanyan saw the visitor and helped the aunt and aunt choose vegetables, Li Duocai persuaded her to persuade her not to understand, Yang's mother felt that she was self-reliant, and there was nothing wrong with doing something.

No matter where he goes, there is always no shortage of such hard-working people.

Just this little thing, it can always reach Hua Liushuang's ears, and there are always people who look at it like a voyeur, and then add oil and vinegar to tell it. At first, Hua Liushuang was really difficult to accept, and she was also emotional, and every time she had to tell Di Ah Niao and Li Zhi how their in-laws came to be. But as time passed, the old lady who was not lacking in wisdom felt that something was wrong, this thing had been going on for several months, how could anyone still talk about it, if it was just about telling it, she only felt impatient, but every move every day was terrible.

Hua Liushuang was numb, and when someone talked about the king and her future in-laws, she hooked her gold-framed jade lenses down, looked at you directly, and asked you in her heart, what do you want to do.

It's been another year.

In the past year, Li Hu has made great achievements in suppressing bandits in the northwest, but in the north, the desert and the inner and outer areas are wider and more sparsely populated, the area is larger, and there are mountains, forests and trees.

It's time for the New Year, Dia Bird and his wife are looking forward to it, and Yang Yanyan's family is also looking forward to it.

It was not until the spring of the second year that there were no major cases of bandits reported in the entire northwest, and Li Hu thought that the bandits were almost done, and even if there were fish that slipped through the net, the local county flag had the strength to deal with them, so he moved troops to the northeast and played the Dongxia court, with Feng Bi as the command, to suppress the bandits in the Baishan and Heishui forests.

They even mobilized the soldiers of several military governments in the north and the people of several county flags to carry compass into the forest, paint the characters on each mile or so, and cut the trees to mark the nodules, which were used to determine the location in the forest, and through these positions, they pursued those who did not submit to the mountains and forests.

Some people in the general cabinet have raised objections many times, and the upper performance said: "Throughout the ages, there has never been a dynasty or generation that has made such a waste for a few bandits, like a grate combing the mountains, like fishing nets to catch forests, mountains and forests are insignificant, and cultivating virtue and respecting heaven and surrendering themselves." ”

If it weren't for Li Hu's achievements from time to time, I was afraid that the court would be able to quarrel.

Dia Bird knows why he can quarrel.

In all dynasties, there were a few bandits in the mountains and forests, some savages, who occasionally went down the mountain to loot and rob one or two, which was not the focus of the imperial court, and could it shake the foundation of the imperial court?

Can you really catch them all with so much effort?

If you can't catch it all, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows again, why bother?

But Dia Bird knew why Li Hu did this.

The ancestral tribe of Wanhu Aguda suffered, where did they go? Forest.

The young man on the white horse walked down the river, where to go, the mountains and forests.

How many world-famous Battle, when they can't defeat their opponents and are still very weak, is this innumerable taiga, where there are many wild things, and fierce beasts roar, provide them with food, and hide the breath of Battle, and when they come out again, they are strong and have excellent skills.

Li Hu grew up in Gaoxian, and he knew what this dense primeval forest represented.

Represents surrender.

All of Battle's unattainable submissions.

This is the real weeding and eradication.

This is also a sign that the whole world is not the king's land.

Search out the people in the forest to become Dongxia people, select the murderer to repay his blood debt, and let there be no one in the forest, which is equivalent to Daxia cutting off the soil for the survival of Batel, who will be his enemy in the future, and after a hundred years, the people living in these settlements do not have the ability to enter the forest like a fish in water, and Daxia will not suddenly encounter a strong enemy.

The significance of this primeval forest is greater than the significance of the ice fields of the Jing people.

It was so big that Dia Bird understood it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say what it meant.

He is just a seemingly neutral person who keeps slapping Li Hu's record in the face against him.

If you add the northwest, Li Hu has already searched hundreds of thousands of people in the forest.

The Davao, the Xijin, the Oroxia, etc., their leaders were executed if they did not submit, and the submissions were signed on the nearest county flag.

As a descendant of the Five Kingdoms, Feng Bi is like a tiger in the forest, and his dream of being a general was indeed realized in the north.

It's just that I'm afraid that by the end of this year, it will be difficult for them to teach again.

But the end of the crackdown is nearing its end.

Yes, the Jing people's ice field is just a slogan.

Dia Bird will not let Li Hu go to the ice field to suppress bandits, the geography and landforms there are not mastered, the climate is too harsh, enough to destroy the formed army, as long as the plain is conquered after the narrow split Haizi, the most fertile land is in the hands of Great Xia, in the future, if there are criminals, they will be exiled, and if there are criminals, they will be exiled, and the criminals will fill that place and become a fence. With the gap left by the Jing people after their southward migration and the speed of population reproduction, it will far exceed that of the Xia people, who are supplemented by exiles and occupy the most fertile land.

In the future, the people there will be familiar with the worst weather there, and there will be no more problems.

The rusty land has been polished, and Diao's bird has two things in front of him. The first thing was that the friction between the Jingkang court and Gao Xian was fierce again.

Gao Xian plundered Beizhou at every turn, and the emperor wanted to fight Gao Xian at every turn.

After Jingkang recovered Chenzhou, he planned a second expedition to the northeast.

The first time he fought Dongxia, the second time he would fight and fight Dongxia, it was hard to say, Dia Niao felt that he had to be on guard, and at the same time he had to guard against the outbreak of war with Jingkang, or Jingkang wanted to be ashamed of himself, and closed the field to provoke.

The second thing, which is related to the first thing and has nothing to do with the first thing, is that the source of food must be secured, and the cultivated land must be secured. Now that Huangxi is in the hands of Gao Xian, although the Northern Plain has been restored, the farmland has not been restored, and the food supply of the whole country, except for the tuntian land along the Wang River and the cultivated land of Baolan in Yinchuan, that is, relying on trade with Jingkang, Jingkang has to prepare for the eastward crusade, do you think he can trade grain with you like this forever?

No.

Even if it will, there will be a crisis.

Jingkang didn't realize that they were getting poorer and poorer, arable land was getting less and less, and the annual trading volume of the market was declining year by year.

More and more people in Jingkang could not afford to buy Dongxia utensils, and the grain and cloth that could be bought in Dongxia became less and less.

Jing Kang will not calculate these data that require all kinds of calculations, because they eat the loss of currency, and now they are only calculating their income and expenditure, and the balance of payments alone is enough for them to have a headache and busy work, and they can't calculate it. But Dongxia is calculating, summarizing.

So, Dia Bird has a sense of crisis.

He suspected that the entire Eastern Xia, after a few years, would not be able to withstand a very cold snow disaster at all.

But in recent years, it seems that due to the climate, snow disasters have been occurring.

Therefore, the second thing he decided was to dig the Xia Guo Canal and divert the water from Beihei to the southwest, also known as the North Water Diversion to the South.

This matter has been prepared for several years, and he was preparing when he was beating Tuobawei, and the capital of Tongjing was also for the purpose of one day, with enough manpower and material resources to open a canal. At present, the country is becoming more and more stable, it is time to do it, it is done, according to the fertile land that has been developed, Dongxia can be self-sufficient from now on.
