Xu Ruyu looked up and saw Mei Tierui and Zhong Ji walking into the room side by side, put down the book in his hand, and asked Zhong Ji directly: "Di Yida has entered the long liquidation table, has the child read it?" ”

Zhong Ji said: "I have read it." ”

Mei Tierui saw Xu Ruyu put the book policy aside casually before noon, thinking that it was a cliché, at this time, seeing Xu Ruyu working hard for a day, he specially summoned Zhong Ji to come to ask, only to know that the "Long Liquidation Table" was extraordinary, and glanced at the book policy on the case out of the corner of his eye, and there was no more hint on the cover except for the words "Long Liquidation Table".

Xu Ruyu picked up the book, handed it to Mei Tierui, and said: "In addition to Jiangning, Di Yida suggested that Dongyang, Lishui, and Hailing should build a long position and accumulate rice and millet ordnance for military needs. ”

Mei Tierui was taken aback, picked up the book and hurriedly flipped through a few pages, glanced at Zhong Ji, and then roughly flipped through a few pages, put the book back on the case, and said: "Dongyang and Lishui are okay to build warehouses, but Hailing should slow down the construction of warehouses. Then he said, "Do you want Diyida to come?" ”

Tu Wenyong said: "Someone has been sent over. He turned his head sideways and saw him sitting there with his eyes lowered and lost in thought.

Di Yida said that the three places built a long and closed the position, mainly in Hailing Cang, supplemented by Dongyang Cang and Lishui Cang, which laid the groundwork for dominating the world in the future. Xu Ruyu didn't think so in his heart, Hailing is located in the Jiangzhun table, the boat passes through the world, and the warehouse is built here, and the materials can be transported conveniently and quickly through the river, Huaishui, and sea to reach the battlefield. However, building a position in Hailing is bound to arouse the vigilance of the East China Sea and Qingzhou.

Just as he was thinking about it, Jiehai and several Jingwei hugged Di Yida in the middle and walked into the courtyard.

Xu Ruyu saw that Di Yida had a look of panic on his face, and looked at Jiehai in confusion.

Jiehai said: "Mr. asked Mr. Di to come over, let's not alarm others, we crossed the wall to take Mr. Di out, the road was in a hurry, and I forgot to explain to Mr. Di." ”

There are two miles from the county government to the post house, Xu Ruyu didn't realize how much work he had, and it seemed that he couldn't help but forget to explain, and the road was still a little hurried. Di Yida was not proficient in martial arts, and was suddenly robbed from the house, and rushed all the way here, and was very frightened.

Xu Ruyu hurriedly got up and welcomed Di Yida to sit down beside him, and said, "I was eager to see Yida, but I forgot to tell them not to be reckless. He glanced at Jiehai sharply and shouted, "You can't pay for it, right?" ”

In addition to Liang Bao, Jimo Mingxi, Wei Yu, and Wei Yan, only the general of the cavalry battalion called Xu Ruyu as "Mr.", although Di Yida did not know Jiehai, but when he saw Xu Ruyu go and let him lead the troops to escort him, he knew that his status was not comparable to himself, and when he saw Jiehai coming over, he wanted to give a salute, and hurriedly stood up and said: "Yida is not careful, timid and fearful, and does not complain about the general." ”

Jiehai arched his hand, snorted, and said, "How lazy, I still hope for Mr. Di Haihan." He didn't wait for Di Yida to return the salute, and retreated straight to Xu Ruyu's side.

When Xu Ruyu saw this situation, he wondered in his heart: What will be the festival between Jiehai and Di Yida? Seeing that Zhong Ji also had an embarrassed look on his face, he couldn't ask him face to face, so he had to hide his doubts in his heart.

Xu Ruyu dismissed the idle people, his clear eyes stopped on Di Yida's face that was slightly blackened by the sea breeze, and saw that he had calmed down from the initial panic, but with a little irrepressible excitement, he said: "What did Yida expect me to invite you to?" ”

Di Yida only dared to put half of his ass next to the chair, and whispered: "But the matter of long liquidation? ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Do you know what my relationship with the East China Sea is? ”

Di Yida was slightly stunned, the relationship between Xu Ruyu and the Chen clan in the East China Sea was rumored in the world in detail, and at first hearing Xu Ruyu ask, Di Yida didn't know how to answer.

Xu Ruyu said: "You don't know the relationship between Jiangning and the East China Sea, how can you casually suggest that you build a long position in Hailing?" Do you know that Hailing Jianchang closed the position, and the edge pointed to the East China Sea? ”

Di Yida thought in his heart: Jiang Ning wants to participate in the chaos of the world's hegemony, and the Chen clan in the East China Sea is an obstacle that cannot be bypassed. He raised his head slightly, only to feel that Xu Ruyu's eyes were staring at him, but he didn't dare to meet him, he couldn't figure out the meaning of his words, he was uneasy, and he didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart.

Zhong Ji felt a little nervous in his heart, and he couldn't guess what Xu Ruyu was thinking for a while. The Middle Base Army, the Fifth School Army, and the Green Guards Army all gathered on the north bank of the river, and Jiangning's edge was almost all against Wanling's chest and abdomen.

Mei Tierui also proposed to postpone the liquidation of Jianchang in Hailing at the beginning, and it seems that he is not qualified to talk to Wen Jiangning's core secret. Jiangning implements the prefecture and county system, and there are more than 100 prefectures and counties, but Jiangning, Yongyang, Lishui, and Quanzhou are the first rank, and the second class is headed by Jinghai. But it can't be compared with those generals and officials who have always stood firmly on Xu Ruyu's side, and they are finally excluded from the core layer.

Thinking about it like this, I can't help but feel a little gloomy.

Xu Ruyu saw that Zhong Ji wanted to speak and stopped, and said: "Ziji, do you have something to say?" ”

Zhong Ji said: "Yida entered the table, but it was instigated by the lower officials, so it seems that it is reckless. ”

Xu Ruyu saw that his words suddenly became restrained, frowned slightly, looked at Di Yida, and said, "What do you say?" ”

Seeing Zhong Ji say this, Di Yida let himself argue again, stood up in fear, and said: "The people have not thought about it, and they are tired of the adults. ”

Zhong Ji and Di Yida can enter the long-term liquidation, although it is difficult to think about it thoroughly, but they will not take into account the feelings of Donghai. Xu Ruyu could feel that Zhong Ji restrained himself from speaking freely because of some kind of estrangement, sighed slightly, stood up, and said: "Sanshui Ling has prepared a small banquet in the East Chamber, and Ziji and Yida will use it together and then go back to the residence to rest." ”

Di Yida said: "The discussions between the adults and the public banquet are confidential, and it is not appropriate for the people to be present. ”

Xu Ruyu suddenly remembered something, glanced at Di Yida, and said secretly: He is a shrewd person, and said loudly: "Jiehai Shicai's apology is too sloppy, and it is not too much for Yida to accept a few glasses of wine from him in front of the table." He said to Xu Boying: "You go to the East Chamber with everyone first, and I will talk to Tie Rui about something." ”

After Xu Boying and the others left, Xu Ruyu looked at Mei Tierui intently and said, "Why did Jiehai have a gap with Jinghai and the others? ”

Mei Tierui said: "General Wei took back 40,000 islanders from Puji last year and settled them in Jinghai, Jinghai cofferdam reclamation, and drove these 40,000 islanders, of which about 10,000 are Yimin, Ziyangqiu wrote a letter to ask Jinghai to treat Yimin well, Zhong Ji thought that there was no difference between Yi and Han, and they all needed to serve for three years before they were allowed to allocate fields, and they did not pay attention to Ziyangqiu. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "If this is the case, Ziyangqiu can come to me." ”

Mei Tierui said: "Your Excellency has already left Jiangning at that time. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Of the 40,000 islanders, only the most old and weak among the Yi people, Zi Yangqiu wrote a letter asking Jinghai to take care of it, how could Zhong Ji not be in the normal feelings of people?" ”

"It's not absolutely allowed, it's just that we have to build four swallowing weirs before the flood season, but I feel that there is a lack of manpower, how dare Zhong Ji and Di Yida put all the people back? Only the old and weak among the Yi people were properly settled, but the first swallowing weir in the north collapsed once, killing and wounding 100 people, and most of them were Yi people, so they saved the mustard. ”

Xu Ruyu frowned and said, "How does the Political Affairs Hall deal with this matter?" ”

Mei Tierui said: "The political affairs hall mediates. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The mediation in the middle, but the cofferdam reclamation between Jinghai and Yanling has been suppressed, if I didn't come to Jinghai in person, the Hailing cofferdam has actual achievements, and Jinghai and Yanling will also have a few years to carry out the cofferdam reclamation?" ”

Mei Tierui narrowed her eyes and said, "It turns out that this is indeed the plan. ”

Xu Ruyu glanced at Mei Tierui and said indifferently: "I don't think it's appropriate to deal with it like this. There was no contradiction between the generals of Baiyi and Jinghai, but because of the unprovoked suppression of the cofferdam reclamation by the political affairs hall, they increasingly thought that the fault was Jinghai. Zhong Ji said that there is no difference between Yi and Han, but there is a difference between Yi and Han in the political hall, perhaps Sima Ya and Changshi Mansion are all like this. ”

Mei Tierui said in a deep voice: "I didn't realize it at first, but it is indeed biased when I think about it at this time. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The political affairs hall is clearly biased towards Baiyi and oppresses the Jinghai place, but it has nourished hostility towards Baiyi in Jiangning, and Tie Rui should be vigilant. In the end, it was a tone of stern rebuke.

Mei Tierui was frightened and wanted to kneel down, Xu Ruyu stretched out his hand to hold him and said, "You and I don't have to be like this, but we can't be sloppy in the matter of Baiyi, and I will mention this matter to Mr. Shao when I have the opportunity." He sighed and said, "Zhong Ji probably has concerns in his heart because of this matter. Zhong Ji is extremely politically talented, and I want to entrust him with the long-term liquidation, but he is in such a state of mind that he can't make the best use of his talents. ”

Mei Tierui saw that Xu Ru's foolish heart was like a mirror, so she no longer defended herself, and said: "The political hall is not responsible, and Tierui cannot escape the blame." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Who can think about everything very thoroughly, Tie Rui still helps me think of any remedy." Before Mei Tierui could reply, he said, "There are no external worries, there are internal troubles, it is imperative for Hailing to build a warehouse, but it can't make Donghai feel that Jiangning is its external worries, what is Tierui's best strategy?" ”

Mei Tierui said: "Ru Yu is going to make a move on Nanping first? ”

Xu Ruyu said: "Rong Yanmen and his eight thousand tiger Benlang have disappeared for ten months, I am afraid that Yuzhou has let him capture, Nanping's army is about to enter Shu, after his army enters Shu, Jiang Ning will of course drag Nanping's hind legs, but the opponent is still Gongliang Youqin, it is really boring." But until then, there's so much to do. ”

Mei Tierui said: "With Zhong's talent, Jiang Ning doesn't need to spend a penny, he can also build Hailing Cang, in the name of cofferdam reclamation, transfer all the surplus grain from Jinghai into Hailing Cang, and set up a craftsman camp in Hailing from Jigentang, so that Hailing Cang can be full in five years." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "It's just in time." I put the long closing position under the jurisdiction of the political affairs hall, Puji bandits, and the five thousand Jianyong stationed in Jinghai will be transferred north to Hailing, thinking that the Cang Guarding Army is subordinate to the Jiangning Garrison Army in terms of establishment. ”

Jiang Ning has always been in the military and political circles, but he wants to make an exception for Zhong Ji. Mei Tierui looked at Xu Ruyu in confusion.

Xu Ruyu said: "The military and government are not dictatorial, and it is okay to fake power and moderation, and it is not harmful to the system." He also said, "Looking at my Jiangning, Nanping, and Hulan, none of them can divide the victory or defeat in a battle, and the outpost commander, if he can't dispatch everything, he can't do his best." The handsome, the politician, the outpost town marshal will get a holiday from Jiangning, and lead the military and political affairs of the theater. ”

False festivals and leading the army, or taking the military and political affairs of a place during the false festival, is not equivalent to actual teaching, and it is not contrary to the Jiangning political system. In the political system of Jiangning, the main officials of the prefecture and county are all appointed on the holiday, and only the lieutenant and below are awarded the actual position in the army, and the general of Ce and General Wei to lead the army needs the Qingfeng Mansion to take the holiday, while Sima Ya and the Changshi Mansion can only mobilize the strength of one army.

Sanshui County is only a year and a half, the county only the county government seems to be more magnificent, no different from the official office in other places, the front and back houses, the former government directors, the back house residents, Xu Ruyu came to Sanshui County, Sanshui Ling let the county government out, let Xu Ruyu and others stop. The back house only has three courtyards, which naturally cannot be compared with the big mansions in Yongyang and Jiangning City.

Xu Ruyu walked into the low east wing, but he didn't feel any inconvenience, so he walked to the front of the seat and sat down, so that the people who got up to greet him also sat down.

Xu Ruyu leaned forward, his gaze resting on Zhong Ji's face. Zhong Ji's face is slightly narrow, his eyes are slender, and he is as bright as a torch, and when he sees Xu Ruyu looking at him, he listens respectfully.

Xu Ruyu said: "If you can't speak freely in front of the table, why don't you want to rot in your belly?" Seeing that Zhong Ji was about to stand up and reply, he stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down and speak.

Zhong Ji's body shook slightly, as if he was not used to this, pondered for a while, and said: "The world can't trust Nanping, only adults are sad and sad, and can be the lord of the world. Seeing the smile on Xu Ruyu's face, he swallowed a breath and continued, "Qingzhou and Donghai can't stop Hulan alone, he said that he will fall under the hooves of foreign races and be ravaged. If you want to save the East China Sea and Qingzhou, you think you should take it first. ”

Xu Ruyu laughed and said, "If you have a child, there is no excuse!" Push the cup to drink it in front of his eyebrows, and said: "If you want to save the East China Sea and Qingzhou, you should take them first, but Qingzhou should be able to stop Hulan for a while, and I won't take it for the time being." Please ask Zijia and Yida to settle the position for me. ”

Zhong Ji and Di Yida sat upright when they heard the sound and said, "Please command, my lord." ”

Xu Ruyu said: "In Lishui, Hailing two places set up a long position, Hailing is the main, Lishui is supplemented, Hailing is hidden, Lishui is obvious, Lishui Cang is included in the Qingjiang Metropolitan Court, Hailing Cang is directly under the jurisdiction of the political affairs hall, in the Changshi Mansion for the file, said to be transferred to the Changshi Mansion, Zhong Ji Mi led the Chang Ping Position, and also led the Jinghai Mansion, the right to know the reclamation of the cofferdam, the control of 5,000 Cang Army, the transfer of Ning Yueshan as the captain of the Cang Military Academy, the Cang Army was temporarily incorporated into the Jiangning Garrison Army, stationed in Hailing, Di Yi Dami led Hailing Cang Supervisor, concurrently served as Hailing Order, Jinghai Yusu to fill the sea into the sea Lingcang, and another craftsman household camp 10,000 people. ”

Di Yida never thought that it would be like this, a day ago, the supervisor of Hailing Cang, who jumped from an ordinary staff member to the level of the government, was the position of Hailing Ling and a colleague who was now said to be in the same hall, but everyone in the house stopped looking at their faces, and they were at a loss for a while, but Zhong Ji, who was sitting next to him, pulled his shirt, and then came back to his senses, walked to Xu Ruyu's case with Zhong Ji, knelt down on one knee, and said: "I am willing to do my best and die for myself." ”

Xu Ruyu walked out of his seat, helped the two of them up from the ground, and said: "The East China Sea is not going to take it, but it is not yet time, and the matter of Hailing Cang must not attract the attention of the East China Sea, and the two of them are dedicated." ”

Mei Tierui knew that although Chang Ping was nominally under the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall, in fact it was directly led by Qingfeng Mansion, and he would be subsumed into Changshi Mansion in the future. ”

Zhong Ji and Di Yida bowed and bowed to Xu Boying. Xu Ruyu often granted all the things in the Qingfeng Mansion to the senators, and this time he came here with Xu Boying to inspect the matter of building a warehouse in Hailing, but he didn't expect Zhong Ji and Di Yida to think of going together.

Xu Ruyu thought of the Baiyi service, glanced sideways at Jiehai, and secretly wondered whether the more than 10,000 Yi people would move to the vicinity of Wuling Mountain or settle nearby, and they had to discuss with Ziyangqiu. Remembering that many of the 10,000 Yi people practiced the ancient practice of breathing boxing on the desert island south of Pujiangnan, although it was very different from Xu Ruyu's restoration of the Panmu boxing, but even if the poor ancient practice of breathing boxing for more than ten years, the foundation laid was not trivial. Liang Bao practiced martial arts with Xu Ruyu with the quality of the middle and upper quality, and within a few years, he jumped into the ranks of masters, which is the foundation laid since childhood.

Xu Ruyu said to Zhong Ji: "How many people are there in the cofferdam? ”

Zhong Ji said: "Five thousand six hundred and ninety-one people, all of them are in the prime of life under fifty years. ”

Martial arts cultivators such as Chu Shiduan have been in the world for one hundred and fifty years, and they still don't feel old, but ordinary people can hardly survive the sixtieth birthday, and life on Puji Island is hard, and about half of them can't survive the age of knowing the destiny of heaven. The reclamation of the cofferdam is extremely manpower-intensive, and there is not much to be taken care of except for women and children. Xu Ruyu nodded and said, "What about the damage caused by the weir collapse this spring?" ”

Zhong Ji glanced at Jiehai and said: "When the foundation of the outer weir was built, the swirling tide rolled the stone, and about 100 people filled the soil at the front end of the stone foundation, and were swept away by the tide, and 97 people died, including 61 people, and Jinghai was all sympathetic, and the relatives of the deceased were exempted. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The people of Puji Island, like the people of Donghai, Yuejun, and Southern Fujian, are deeply affected by the Puji bandits. In addition, young people between the ages of 12 and 18 were selected from among the Yi people and transferred to the guards of the camp in the southern Fujian Xingyuan, and their relatives were incorporated into the military households. ”

Di Yida was very detailed about the data of the servants, and as soon as Xu Ruyu finished speaking, he responded: "There are about 437 young people between the ages of 12 and 18. ”

Of the islanders who returned to the mainland from Puji Island, only Sun Lai and Shao Xiaoqi and Liang Bao taught Panmu boxing. Xu Ruyu asked Liang Bao to copy a point of Panmu Fist and send it to Wuling Mountain, which became a treasure of Baiyi, and ordinary people had no chance to learn this peerless martial art. Handed over this group of people to Liang Bao to teach, and in time, the elite will be stronger than the Qingfeng Cavalry, the first elite soldier in Jiangning.
