How many pairs of eyes are staring at the changes in the land of Lingzhou, no one can tell, as an insider, Luo Kaixian does not have the ability to perceive thousands of miles away, although he has more weird skills than others, but without the communication equipment of the future, he is not much better than others as a mortal.

But fortunately, one thing is most important, Luo Kaixian has a strong heart.

After going through ups and downs along the way, he already has a basic understanding of this era - not beyond the scope of what he recorded in the history books, whether it is customs or major events, there may be some differences in the details, but in general, the things recorded in the books he read in later generations are quite reliable.

Therefore, he is quite satisfied with the current situation. 150,000 or 60,000 people, at least in the future generations can be counted as the total population of a remote county, of course, it can't be compared with those rich places, the problem is that the total population of this era is not much, all the way through tens of thousands of miles, that is, Kaihelen and Constantinople and Lai City, a few cities with more population, the rest of the places are either sparsely populated, or tigers, leopards, wolves and bears crisscross the wilderness, even after Polo City, to this homeland in memory, what you see is also a wilderness and no one's scenery.

There are a lot of lively things recorded in the history books on this side of Hexi, but there are not many records of the people's livelihood and folk customs of this era, at least in Luo Kaixian's view, the current Lingzhou is not much better than the remote villages in the west of the future, although there are some tribes or villages scattered around, but there are few cultivated land that can be seen, and there are no water conservancy construction, and there are a few earthen forts at most 1,800 people, and the rest of the place is more weedy ponds, gravel beaches or muddy land, There are also the occasional dry bones hidden in the shadow of dead grass and rubble - such things are difficult to see in the peaceful realm of later generations, but in this era, it is not uncommon, and after years of conquest and chaos, this place is a world without rules.

Of course, it is not necessarily true to say that there are no rules at all, the party members control the Dingyan army, and the method used to rule the local area is a combination of tribal clan supply and military tax, which is rough and negligent, and the action is even more simple and rude, at least Luo Kai learned these from the side.

In such a chaotic territory, the transmission of information is not stable at all, and the harsh and barren environment greatly hinders the flow of people, including the travel of the military.

Therefore, although there was no specific information about the surrounding powers, especially Zhao Song and Northern Liao, Luo Kaixian was not worried that he would encounter a large-scale enemy encirclement and suppression.

He saw very clearly that this place in Lingzhou is still just a remote mud pond, even if it is not far from the silk trade route, it is not an important place, and the haste of his team of people to arrive is regarded as a new local fish, and when the surrounding pike catfish or crocodiles do not find out their details, they will not act rashly, unless there are those who are not eye-opening, such as Xingzhou Ma's and the like, but the so-called Ma's generation can only gather one or two thousand troops at most, for him Luo, is it worth paying attention to?

This is really not Luo Kaixian's arrogance, as early as when he was in Sylvan, one or two thousand enemies might still give him a headache, but now? After integrating and training all the way, the total number of light and heavy cavalry under his command is 30,000, and the heavy infantry is more than 10,000, these guys alone are enough for many forces to drink a pot, not counting the scout battalion that is getting more and more slippery, and the ballista battalion that is becoming more and more proficient.

Coupled with his understanding of the rhythm of this era, Luo Kaixian really didn't think anything would disrupt his arrangement, at least not for the time being.

Of course, for the time being, it will be a year or two at most.

Because during this time, Luo also ordered someone to collect and summarize some surrounding information, although the person who collected the information was not so professional, but the scattered information combined with the bits and pieces provided by Li Deming before was enough for him to piece together the general situation of the entire Hexi area, with these understandings, he made some rough estimates of the current development prospects.

In a year at most, someone can completely control everything within a radius of 100 kilometers, and in two years, the population of Lingzhou may be able to double, and within two years, Lingzhou should be able to achieve self-sufficiency, including all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This is not something he imagined behind closed doors, but through the comparison and analysis of the power in his hands and the local situation, it is not accurate, and he has no practical experience in this area, but after retiring from the army, he traveled all over the world, and he can see a lot of things.

There are a large number of skilled craftsmen under his command, and there are similar manpower, and food that can supply at least half a year, and it can't solve the problem of capital construction, so he should really find a wall and kill him.

For those who have experienced years of war, Luo Kaixian does not believe that they do not want to live a stable life!

After sorting out this idea, his mind settled down a lot.

While admonishing himself that he needed to stabilize his position step by step, he had thought about making a short-term development plan, and after two days, he denied himself.

Not to mention that now is the time for rapid change, that is, a plan has been made, and how many people know how to control the implementation? What's more, it has only been less than three months since I stopped in Lingzhou, and the situation is far from enough, can I see the things that have been formulated?

So, Luo someone, who secretly sighed about the lack of talents, began to think about a few training outlines, he was not very proficient in economic matters, but he also understood something, and sorted out some concepts in his impression and threw them to Du Ne and Li Xuan, it must be helpful, right?

It's just that his idea has just begun, and it is the winter moon, and the day to prepare for the group wedding for those newlyweds has arrived, and then it is followed by the preparation period for his wedding with Li Ji.

According to the words of Lao Dune, who is in charge of the communication, according to the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty, men and women are not allowed to meet within a month before marriage, and all affairs need a matchmaker to be responsible for intermediary negotiations, but over the years, the persistence of the old camp of the Tang Dynasty has also worn out a lot, and when it is the turn of Luo Kaixian, a special person, he has to make changes.

It's just that...... Well, there is a thing to do, seeing that the wedding date is not far away, there is less than half a month left, Luo does not have to do anything in this preparation period, but everything must be cooperated.

As a result, the helpless elder surnamed Luo is not useful, and the word "following the customs" is not just literal.

As soon as the previous group wedding ended, and the fourth day of the winter month began, Luo Kaixian's newly moved wooden house was never quiet again.

First, a team of carpenters came over to sweep the field - this was responsible for making the newlywed furniture, and then a group of mothers-in-law and aunts and sisters-in-law with big feet (there were no women in this team who bound their feet) rushed in, measured Luo Kaixian up and down, left and right, and commented on the short and long without any scruples, and made a long-term general who had also mixed with fat powder tents into a red-faced Guan Gong - these people were responsible for making wedding clothes for the groom......

After a group of people left, Luo someone, who was rarely free, wanted to go to see the bride-to-be Li Ji, but was told that he couldn't meet, and after being vetoed, he gave an unreasonable explanation, for the happiness of his marriage in the future, Luo Kaixian, the general, had to endure no matter how urgent he was.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, when Luo Kaixian felt that there was finally nothing to do, a group of mothers-in-law and aunts and sisters-in-law rushed over with a large wooden barrel, and pressed him into the bath bucket without even shying away, and then rinsed him with water mixed with various spices, and by the way, he trimmed his face and tied his hair - that is, to take care of it, check whether the groom has any epidemics, and as for the hair bundle, it is necessary to comb the hair that his head is scattered into a bun according to the traditional style.

Regarding this, Luo Kaixian had been mentally prepared, but he had never thought of letting a large number of women help with the bath, it was not a while of discomfort, but he had to endure the discomfort, and he could only murmur in his heart, married women in this era are also very strong.

This is not over, Luo Kai, who was clean and neatly washed, was first pulled and draped on a red gorgeous groom's robe that had not yet been fully prepared for trial production, and then several mothers-in-law held him down and wanted to put **** makeup on his face - this thing is really difficult for Luo to accept.

He has done the task of changing his face shape and makeup, and there is no problem with applying military oil paint to fight, but let Luo, who has a black face in outdoor activities all year round, try this thick foundation?

This thing is completely inconsistent with his Luo someone's aesthetics, his big black face with a bony face and a thick foundation, so is there anything else to see? It is estimated that Luo Kaixian, who still has a bit of a human appearance, will become the legendary Yaksha of the sea patrol.

No matter what others think, he Luo Kai couldn't accept it at first anyway.

Pushing left and right, he finally persuaded the mother-in-law and sister-in-law of the brigade, but he was still forced to apply a layer of moisturizer that was said to have a beauty effect, and was ordered to stay in the house and not allowed to go out, the purpose was that the wind and frost on his face needed to be carefully nourished......

I can't talk about that.

Luo Kaixian, who was ordered to stay in the house, didn't get any free time, and Zhang Shen, an old guy who hadn't shown up for a long time, came in with a few young people - they were going to demonstrate and teach Luo Kaixian's wedding ceremony.

This is indispensable, classical etiquette is what Luo Kaixian lacks, and he can't say that he also learned about the etiquette of various other occasions by the way.

As for the little rejection of the Zhang family, it is nothing.

Of course, when he dreams back at midnight occasionally in the past few days, he will still think about it, he was thinking about training others before, but he didn't expect that he was taught first, which can be regarded as a very interesting experience.
