When Luo Zhaoyun left the next day, Xue Zhiqing's expression was complicated, late last night, the two talked with candles and nights, almost chatting until dawn, and then only slept for two hours and got up.

It was inconvenient for Luo Zhaoyun to stay in her residence for too long, so as not to fall into the hands of others and damage the reputation of Xue Dacai, so she left early.

Xue Zhiqing stood in the courtyard, wearing a snow-white robe, watching his majestic figure go away, there was a faint sense of loss in her heart, this kind of man is indeed different, with her talented and arrogant temperament, she was particularly impressed by Luo Zhaoyun, thinking that if the two of them could often get together to discuss academics and not ask about the world affairs in the outside world, how comfortable it would be.

At night, in addition to arithmetic, Luo Zhaoyun also talked about the explanation of physics, natural phenomena, and geographical knowledge, although they were all point-to-point, not in-depth, but the whimsical ideas were also something that Xue Zhiqing had never thought about, including the question of why the apples were ripe and why they fell to the ground, which troubled Xue Zhiqing for a long time, and answered the question.

Luo Zhaoyun explained the existence of 'gravity', as well as the concepts of water buoyancy, air resistance, acceleration, etc., which made Xue Zhiqing's mind confused for a while, but it was too much, and it took a while, she faintly felt that this Luo Zhaoyun's erudition was far more than what it showed.

This made Xue Zhiqing even more puzzled, and felt that this man was even more mysterious.

………

The north wind howled, the snow fell to the ground like a flower, and Luoyang was shrouded in a thick layer of snow.

This is the second snow of winter, which is obviously much heavier than the first, and the weather has cooled down, and many of the eaves have been frozen with ice skates and ice sculptures.

Luo Zhaoyun felt that his stay in Luoyang was almost over, so he started on the road and rushed to Zhuo County.

At present, Luo Yi is named the Hou Ye, managing the civil affairs and military power of Zhuo County, and is regarded as a local governor, while Luo Zhaoyun carries the holy decree and has the power to control the four northern counties, Zhuo County, Yuyang County, Beiping County, and Yan County are all under the jurisdiction of Luo Zhaoyun, just like the king of the northern domain.

His task was twofold, one was to pay close attention to the movements of Liaodong, deter the border passes, and make the Khitan, Jian, Murowei, and Goguryeo countries not dare to go to the border to take the opportunity to cause chaos and disturb the border passes; Another task was to suppress the rebels in the northeastern region of the Great Sui, especially the growing Dou Jiande army in Hebei.

Although Luo Zhaoyun did not lead the troops to leave in the capital this time, the personal guards had 300 people to escort them, plus 18 horsemen, more than 200 family warriors, and there were five or six hundred people.

Luo Yi had already rushed back to Zhuo County one step earlier, so this team, headed by Luo Zhaoyun, stayed in Luoyang, and some young talents were networked, and they all brought it with him this time, there were thirty or forty people.

Of course, the famous people in history are just a few of them, and the rest of the people are mostly some famous generals, scholars of the wang family, and the children of declining nobles, although their parents and ancestors are very famous, but in their generation, they have great ambitions, whether they are talented or experienced, they cannot be compared with their parents.

For example, Gao Biaoren, who is more talented than his father, is too different, and He Ruobi is not comparable to He Ruobi, these people can only be regarded as small talents.

In addition, there are Zhou Zhongyin, Lai Heng, Fan Dongyin and others, who are the sons of Zhou Luohu, Lai Hu'er, and Fan Zigai, who were also taken away by him.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Mai Mengcai, Xue Wancheng and others continued to follow him north, and they were in a good mood all the way, because General Luo came back and was about to lead them again, conquering everything and being invincible.

Princess Ruyi sat in the carriage, holding a warm water bag, leaning on a small brazier, covered with a blanket, the car was very warm, and her mood was very happy.

This is the first time she has traveled away from the royal team, accompanied by the newlywed Yan'er's husband, walking on the road of wind and snow, covered in silver, and the northern snow scene is extraordinarily enchanting, giving people a sense of beauty of magnificent mountains and rivers.

Luo Zhaoyun sometimes got into the car and rode alone with her, sometimes he would go out on horseback and march, follow the soldiers and soldiers through thick and thin, and always maintain a vigilant heart, not allowing himself to be greedy for enjoyment and bureaucratic style to rise, otherwise, he would not be able to endure hardships in the future and would not be able to do great things.

"General Luo, how many troops and horses will we increase this time?" Xue Wanqian couldn't help but ask.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "At least 100,000 troops, not limited to the four counties, those hard-hit areas in Hebei, can also send people to recruit soldiers, and at the same time set up some protection areas for the families of those who joined the army to live temporarily, so that they can ensure safety and food and grass, so that they have no worries." ”

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, this is a big project, once the people in the upper valley, Hejian, and Boling areas of Hebei Province hear this news, they will definitely rush to bring their families and clansmen to avoid the disaster.

The eldest grandson Wuji said worriedly: "General Luo, this kind of thinking is very good, saving the people from fire and water, but we don't have much grain and grass reserves, and the expenses of a hundred thousand troops are enough for us to scrape together food and salaries everywhere, not to mention taking care of tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of family members, this task cannot be completed at all." ”

"Yes, how can we have so much food, grass, and materials, and it's not enough to build an army of 100,000." Mai Mengcai also felt that it was impossible.

"Don't forget, we have hidden a lot of military supplies in the Liaodong region, as well as Yan County and other places, which are enough for us to use this conscription, and in terms of military armor, there are several armament factories in Zhuo County and Yuyang County, and there is no problem."

"Regarding the issue of the sergeant's family, you don't have to worry about this, since General Ben has decided like this, he must have considered the issue of materials, in fact, they don't all rely on our Zhuojun relief, those are all laborers, children can study, women can weave, older people can cook, weave mats, roast tea, etc., and deploy them in a unified manner."

"As long as they raise it for one year, the next year their family farms, starts spring planting and autumn harvest, does not collect their taxes, and will be self-sufficient, so that Zhuo County can be truly peaceful, otherwise we will only suppress the chaos, but if we do not solve the problem of poverty, we will not be able to settle down."

Luo Zhaoyun swore that he could play the banner of appeasing the local area, but in fact, he would expand the population and attract refugees to settle in the past, so that the population would increase, stabilize the morale of the army, and accumulate a good reputation, so as to be fully prepared for the future king.
