Before you know it, winter in Gohara has arrived.

Everywhere is a withered yellow, and pheasants and hares are here and there, trying to store enough fat before the snowfall. A thin layer of ice has begun to form on the man-made river not far away.

In order to prevent the waterwheel from being frozen, it was dismantled early in the morning and put into a house made of bricks and cement.

In this early winter, a silent environment was broken.

"Childe, come with an arrow, isn't there a stupid rabbit there, he didn't know how to run when he saw us coming." Who else could Ge Feng speak.

"Don't you want to mess around?" The eldest grandson said viciously, this archery technique can be regarded as an eternal pain in his heart.

"I just don't want to mess around, so what should I do?" Ge Feng continued to die.

"Then study hard and make progress every day, go back and copy the "Thousand Character Text" ten times and hand it in to me." Changsun Yu said. This Ge Feng really doesn't know how to write the word dead.

"Oh, it's okay, it's a big deal, I'll do a few dozen more laps tomorrow." Under normal circumstances, in order to show that he is approachable, the eldest grandson will give them two options to choose from, one is to copy the book, and the other is to run away.

What do you say is corporal punishment? I'll show you corporal punishment, and usually take advantage of Ge Feng's squatting horse to kick him twice.

"This option has been canceled, and the other option is that you can only nibble on cold steamed buns today." Changsun Yu said.

"Ah, I was wrong, Childe, please spare me this time......" Ge Feng's cry filled the entire Elechuan, and the frightened various hidden birds flew out of the grass.

There was laughter on the prairie.

Wuyuan City is near, this first half of the year is still a barren place, only flocks and beasts infested, now is the time for life to boil.

As a new city, Wuyuan's location advantages are fully revealed.

In order to show the prestige and abundance of the Heavenly Khan, Wuyuan City became a transit place for trading with the grassland tribes in the north of the mountain.

Countless salts, teas, bad wines, boiled grains, silks, and cloths set out from here to the northward towards the grasslands; Countless cattle, sheep, and horses were driven here to be slaughtered.

For this reason, the eldest grandson specially opened a place about five miles east of the city to be responsible for trading and slaughtering cattle, horses and sheep.

However, at this time, Changsun Tang was not in the east of the city, but in the long pavilion in the south of the city, preparing to welcome the arrival of an important person.

Due to the backward communication conditions at this time, basically when an official takes office or has other things that are about to arrive at his destination, he will first stay in this post station, and then send someone to inform him of the approximate time when it will arrive, so as to facilitate the delivery.

It's not a shelf, it's a rule.

Therefore, Wei Zheng, who came this time, also complied with it.

When he saw Wei Zheng, the eldest grandson couldn't believe it, Wei Zheng, who was still black-haired when he said goodbye to Wang Qi a few months ago, actually had a lot of white hair at this time.

There is nothing in the government and the opposition that can be airtight, and that incident is even more about the eldest grandson Wuji, because the eldest grandson is very clear about the way here, and he also regrets it in his heart.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Wei." The eldest grandson stepped forward and shook at Wei Zheng, who had just dismounted.

"Excuse me, you and I are destined, I took the initiative to ask for this errand, just to come and see the situation of the great northern city of the virtuous nephew." Wei Zheng smiled, Xu understood something, but he was not as serious and rigid as before.

"My lord, let's go to Wuyuan City, it's really cold here, it's really not suitable for reminiscing." The eldest grandson asked.

"Okay, okay. I am the guest, you are the Lord, and everything is at your disposal. "Wei Zheng is completely different from what he used to be.

"Then please get on the horse, and the lower officer will lead the way in front."

After speaking, a group of people got on their horses one after another, and rushed towards Wuyuan City.

Changsun Tang and Wei Zheng walked side by side in the front, but Changsun Tang controlled the horse half a horse's head behind Wei Zheng, which was a basic etiquette and had nothing to do with anything else.

"Virtuous nephew, is it Wuyuan City in front?" Wei Zheng asked.

"Yes." The eldest grandson looked at the rising white pillars of smoke not far away, and his old face turned red.

"Look at this scale, it's much better than the upper counties in the pass." Wei Zheng didn't pay attention to this.

"The current permanent population of these five original cities is about 10,000, and the number of merchants who pass by and stay every day is also about 1,000." Eldest grandson: This can be regarded as reporting work in advance.

The upper county of Guanzhong refers to a county with more than 5,000 households, but in fact, the population of the county may not even have 5,000 people, and due to various reasons, the nearby villages will be vacant in winter, leaving only a small number of people to take care of them, but Dingkou is all concentrated, and it is more prosperous than many state capitals.

"Oh, it's really not easy to have such a big harvest in less than a year, you can be regarded as a great merit." Wei Zheng was actually full of beautiful words, which made the eldest grandson a little unacceptable.

"Your Excellency is overrated, you are all Your Majesty's Shengming, and the princes of the court and the central government are loving." These words are sour, and the eldest grandson himself is a little unappetizing.

"But why is the city wall like this?" Looking at the frozen moat and the crystal clear Wuyuan city wall, Wei Zheng was a little stunned.

"My lord is like this, this year due to lack of manpower, this city wall really can't be completed as scheduled, on the basis of 30,000 acres of reclamation, the lower officials just chose the location of this city wall, and wait for next year to continue to build." Changsun Yu explained.

"Then how to solve this city defense?" Wei Zheng asked, and did not go crazy on the spot.

"That's right." The eldest grandson paused and organized the language.

"The nomadic tribes in the north of the mountain have no unified leadership, they are independent, and spring, summer and autumn are the grazing seasons, and they will not go south. In winter, it freezes relatively early, with a layer of water and a layer of sand, and it doesn't take a few days to form such a thick city wall, but I am not afraid of them. "Eldest Sun Tang, this is naturally an imitation of Cao Cao in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

"Well, it's not impossible." Wei Zheng just said vaguely.

"Looking at the length of the city wall, it is estimated that it is about ten miles." Wei Zheng estimated it.

"Your eyes are like torches, just ten miles." The area of this circle is twenty-five square kilometers, and the length of the city wall plus the urn city is more than forty li.

"It's really not something that can be done in a year." Wei Zheng was a little distracted, he didn't believe that Changsun Tang could build such a majestic city on this vast grassland almost single-handedly.

Although Sun Tang, the leader of the progress of the construction of the city, would produce a detailed report every week, no one who had not seen it with his own eyes would believe such crazy ideas and progress.

This is also the reason why Wei Zheng came this time, if it was really just Changsun Tang lying about the military situation in order to get angry, it would have been better to deal with it earlier. (To be continued.) )
