In the sixth month of the lunar calendar, it is the harvest season, and in the wilderness, the golden ears of rice, like waves on the sea, rise and fall in the wind.

On the outskirts of Changsha, along both sides of the Xiangjiang River, in large rice fields, countless farmers are busy harvesting rice.

On a ridge, Wang Yan and Du Yinxi and other Huguang officials sat on the ground to rest for a while, and then picked up a sickle to join the harvesting army.

At this time, a village woman, with a few children, holding a clay pot, walked to the edge of the field from a distance, an old farmer hurriedly caught up, took the clay pot and pottery bowl, and then shouted to the busy officials: "Ladies and gentlemen, come and take a rest and drink a bowl of tea~"

When Wang Yan heard this, he hugged the cut rice together, then straightened up and said to Zhou's officials: "Everyone has worked hard, take a rest first~"

The officials were all literati and were ashamed of their labor, but since Wang Yan and Du Yinxi occupied Changsha, they have repeatedly taken officials to the countryside to inspect and personally participate in the labor.

As a dignified prince, Wang Yan, and as the governor of Hunan, Gu Yinxi, took the lead in helping the people, and other officials naturally did not have the reason to stand aside and watch the play.

At this time, under the hard work of many civil officials, they are naturally a little unbearable, but they will inevitably have a trace of unprecedented emotion in their hearts.

Wang Yan and the officials came out of the rice field together, and planted in the field, and the old farmer asked the woman to pour tea for the officials.

Wang Yan drank it all in one gulp, then asked with a smile: "Uncle, just now I saw that the rice in the field is full of grains, and there are a lot of seeds, with my father's experience, this year can be regarded as a good year?" ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly said: "This lord has good eyesight, this year can indeed be regarded as a good year, but this is all thanks to the Duke of Chu and the blocking of Futai, and sent soldiers to dredge the canal, so that when the weather is dry, the farmland can be diverted for irrigation, and the water can be discharged when the water is issued, so that there is a bumper harvest this year." ”

Hearing this, Du Yinxi smiled and said: "Since it is a good year, this year's life of the father-in-law's family is better than in previous years?" ”

"It's better ~ It's better ~ " The old farmer listened and hurriedly said: "This is also thanks to the Duke of Chu and the blocking of Futai, when Inspector He was here, even if it was such a good year, it was not enough, and now the government has changed the tax set by Inspector He, and we have paid the official grain, not only the family rations are enough, but also about the balance." ”

After hearing this, Du Yinxi couldn't help but smile at Wang Yan, obviously both of them were very satisfied in their hearts, and the people's livelihood in Hunan could be restored with their efforts.

For Wang Yaner, for more than two months, his men and horses have been rested, and this summer grain harvest also means that his soldiers and horses can get enough grain and grass.

For the Manchu Qing Dynasty, autumn high horse fertilizer was the best season to use troops, and for Wang Yan, as long as the summer harvest was completed and the seedlings were planted again, he could raise a large army and attack Wuchang.

After drinking the tea, Wang Yan led everyone again to work in the fields, and at this time, on the Hunan River, several large ships full of supplies were pulled by the slender man, squeaking upstream.

Most of the tea loaded on the ship was collected from the Anhua area, and Wang Yan ordered people to transport these tea leaves up the Hunan River to Hengyang, and then use mules and horses to cross the South Ridge, transport them to Guangzhou, and then sell them to Xiyi, and the benefits can be tripled.

Du Yinxi looked at the boat and swayed south, and must have sighed in his heart: "In the land of the lake, if I can wait for two years in a stable manner, the people's strength will recover, and the money and food will be enough." ”

Wang Yan also nodded and said: "Song Gaozong once said that Guangnan City has a lot of benefits, and it is advisable to win people and serve for a long time. The merchants were willing to come, and they moved 100,000 yuan, and they were all wide of people's strength. Today, the situation in our dynasty is trapped in money and food, and we should learn from Song Law. ”

Plugging Yinxi heard the words and sighed: "The land of Sanxiang, rich in products, the Guogong transported the materials to Guangnan, and the profit was far greater than that of Tengjiao, which not only alleviated the people's power, but also made the government profitable, which is really a good policy." ”

"Guangnan City, the most needed materials, is porcelain, tea, silk, but with the fall of the north and the south of the Yangtze River, the trade of porcelain, silk plummeted by more than ninety percent, the trade volume of Guangnan has declined, the land of Hunan, and Guangnan across the Nanling, the road is inconvenient, porcelain and the like are inconvenient to transport, but the transportation of tea and silk is slightly more convenient." Wang Yan said to many officials: "The governor wants to recruit porcelain craftsmen to open kilns in Guangnan and fire porcelain, while in Hunan, he will grow tea and spin silk, and encourage women to embroider, so that Hunan embroidery will be developed and become an important thing for trade between Hunan and Xiyi." What do you think of the blockade? ”

"Good~" Plug Yinxi praised: "The talent of the national prince is comparable to Guan and Yiye." ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he smiled slightly: "Since Futai agrees, then after I go back, I will start to prepare." Come, after everyone has cut this land, let's go back and rest~"

At that moment, Wang Yan lowered his head and bent over, and harvested quickly, and the old farmers on the side who had already finished cutting slowly gathered outside the rice field, watching the officials and masters sweat like rain, their faces were full of novelty, and their hearts were moved.

In the evening, Wang Yan and his entourage completed the task, and then dragged their tired bodies, under the eager eyes of the people, stepped on the horses, and headed for Changsha City.

On the wilderness along the way, there are figures everywhere after harvesting, carrying and pushing the ears of rice back to the threshing floor, a scene of busy harvest.

The group looked at this scene, and their hearts were full of joy, and the school field outside Changsha City, the scene of thousands of horses galloping, made their blood spurt again.

In the battle of Dongting Hukou, Wang Yan defeated the Qing soldiers and captured a large number of war horses, which finally enabled him to achieve his goal of supervising the standard army and building a cavalry.

Nearly 10,000 war horses, plus thousands of them before Wang Yan, he selected 10,000 good horses from them, and then asked the generals to pick some, and the remaining bad horses were handed over to Li Suiqiu to sell.

In the past two months, Yuan Zongdi and Wang Shixiu have trained 10,000 cavalry every day, so that they have slowly recovered some combat strength, but at the same time, the consumption is also very amazing.

On the other side of the cavalry camp, there is the infantry military academy, when Wang Yan and his party walked by the side of the school field, in the camp, tens of thousands of horses were gathered together, looking at the middle field, twenty elite soldiers, chasing a round ball and kicking fiercely, and the soldiers on the side let out cheers from time to time.

After entering the city gate, Wang Yan parted ways with many officials and went back to their homes to rest.

Wang Yan came to the front of the mansion, thinking of washing up first to relieve his fatigue, but the next person told Wang Fuzhi that he had led a person and had been waiting in the mansion for a long time, so Wang Yan immediately turned over and dismounted and strode into the mansion.

In the living room, Wang Fuzhi was talking with a man, and when they saw Wang Yan coming in, they immediately got up, and the man saluted on one knee and said: "Yu Taichu of the Heaven and Earth Association Aoki Hall, entered Chu on the order of the chief helmsman, and informed the prince of the country of major events." ”
