Pei Ju thought for a while, and suddenly understood Yang Guang's thoughts, how could he not understand? He was once Yang Guang's military advisor and strategist, if even he didn't understand the emperor's mind, who else could understand?

"Is Your Majesty planning to transfer Zhang Xutuo out of Qingzhou?"

Yang Guang didn't answer clearly, and he said slowly after a while: "If a person has military power and territory, it is not easy to control, I am happy for him to be a bandit, but sometimes there is an inexplicable worry, Pei Aiqing, what do you say should I do?" ”

Yang Guang looked back at Pei Ju, the gaze in his eyes was extremely cold, Pei Ju's heart trembled, and he hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty can summon him to Beijing to report on his work, and then ask him about his own wishes, I believe that he will take the initiative to apply to stay in the capital, if he really doesn't understand, the humble post will hint at him appropriately." ”

Yang Guang nodded, "According to Aiqing's words, call him to Beijing first!" ”

．．．．．．

Zhang Jinshuo's demise made the counties of Qingzhou rejoice, and the people walked out of the streets, singing and dancing, celebrating for three days and three nights, especially when Zhang Jincheng was escorted into Licheng County, tens of thousands of angry Qinghe County people waiting at the city gate swarmed up, and instantly tore Zhang Jincheng to pieces, and there were no bones.

Zhang Jinshu's demise relieved the counties of Qingzhou from the biggest hidden danger, and people began to return to their hometowns one after another, cultivating land, dredging canals, and building water conservancy projects in preparation for summer rice sowing.

Zhang Xuan also led the army back to Beihai County after the war, and Zhang Jin said that a large amount of grain and materials stored in Wucheng County were also transported back to Qingzhou, partly as military rations, and the other part as reserve grain for disaster relief, mainly for disaster relief during the shortage of green and yellow crops.

Qinghe County was temporarily garrisoned by the veteran general Jia Wuben with 5,000 troops to prevent Dou Jiande and Gao Shida from taking advantage of the situation.

When Zhang Xuan returned to Beihai County, it was the middle of January of the 11th year of the Great Cause, and although it was still late winter, the footsteps of spring had quietly arrived, and the air began to have a warm breath, the weeping willow branches turned green, the river began to thaw, and the ice and snow melted.

After the war, Zhang Xutuo's Flying Eagle Army absorbed the remnants of Feng Xiaoci's army and some of the surrendered soldiers. The Flying Eagle army was expanded to 30,000 people, and Zhang Xuan's army was also expanded to 6,000 people, and because Jia Wuben was transferred to Qinghe County, the defense of Gaomi County was temporarily taken over by Zhang Xuan, so that Zhang Xuan's sphere of influence was expanded from Beihai and Donglai counties to Gaomi County in the south, and the entire Shandong Peninsula was controlled by Zhang Xuan.

On this morning, Zhang Xuan led a group of cavalry to gallop along the Juyang River. He was always concerned with the cultivation of pasture, which was related to his ability to build a mobile cavalry team.

This time, the cavalry played a huge role in the long-range rescue of Beihai County. It is important to make Zhang Xuan and all the generals cavalry, but 500 cavalry is still too little, and at least a cavalry of more than 1,000 people must be built to exert greater combat effectiveness.

But the construction of cavalry requires not only purebred war horses, but also a large amount of land to grow pasture, which is not a problem that can be solved in the short term, but in any case, it must be done first.

The task of planting pasture grass was handed over by Zhang Xuan to Wang Shu, the commander of Yidu County, and Wang Shu was also a very capable official. He did not disappoint Jang Hyun, and on both sides of the Juyang River, old people and women were everywhere planting pastures.

Growing vetching is relatively simple, just stick a hole in the soil with a chopstick, throw the seeds into it, and don't need to be taken care of, but you can't sprinkle it on the ground. That would only make the birds cheaper.

Although planting pasture grass is simple, the amount of work is very large, and the Juyang River alone has a basin of more than 500 miles, not to mention that Zhang Xuan also wants to plant alfalfa along the beach, which is a huge project, and it is daunting to think about.

"General. It is not difficult to grow alfalfa on tidal flats, the point is that it takes time. ”

Wang Shu, the county magistrate, said with a smile: "Even if you buy seeds, it will definitely not be too much, only after harvesting a large number of seeds in autumn, you will continue to plant next year, and continue to expand the year after, it will take at least three years to form a vast grassland that can be grazing." ”

Speaking of seeds, Jang Hyun felt a bit of a headache. The soldiers he sent to the grassland to ask for seeds had been gone for almost two months, and there was no news at all, and he didn't know if there had been an accident, which really worried him.

Wang Shu seemed to understand Zhang Xuan's thoughts, and said with a smile: "In fact, the alfalfa in the grassland may not be suitable for planting on our tidal flats, which are all saline-alkali land, and I feel that we should test more other varieties, but I don't hide it from the general, I have sent people to the southern coast to buy alfalfa seeds last month, and when the time comes, I will try a few more pieces of land, and I can finally find suitable seeds, what does the general think?" ”

Zhang Xuan smiled and nodded, "The county gentleman is more thoughtful than me, you are right, and you have done a good job, we really can't hang ourselves from a tree." ”

Receiving Zhang Xuan's encouragement, Wang Shu's face turned a little red, and he mustered up the courage to say: "General, there is another suggestion for the humble position, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" ”

"You say!"

"In fact, from ancient times to the present, Qi is a famous fish and salt production area, Qi country's wealth comes from this, fishing at sea, coastal salt, are the traditional livelihood of our area, just fleeing into Yidu County fishermen are tens of thousands of people, humble consideration since Zhang Jin said has been exterminated, then we can gradually restore these traditional livelihoods, make dried fish, sell salt to the Central Plains, commerce began to flourish, and the vitality can slowly recover."

Zhang Xuan nodded, turned over his horse, and smiled at Zhao Shu in a loud voice: "Just do as you say, if there is anything you need to discuss with Wei Changshi, from today onwards, you will temporarily take the position of Beihai County, and I will persuade the imperial court to give you a formal appointment!" ”

Zhao Shu was overjoyed, he had been looking forward to this position for a long time, and today it was finally realized, he bowed deeply, "The humble position will never live up to the trust of the general!" ”

Returning to Yidu County, as soon as he entered the city gate, a personal soldier rushed to report, "General, Xiao Yushi is here!" ”

Xiao Yushi is Xiao Huaijing, currently serving as Zhang Xutuo's supervisor, although he usually only asks about military affairs, but he has a lot of power, and directly reports to Yang Guang Zhang Xutuo's every move, Zhang Xutuo's cautiousness is largely related to this Xiao supervisor.

Zhang Xuan was secretly surprised, Xiao Huaijing was still the first time to come to Beihai County, could it be that he heard something?

However, Zhang Xuan and Xiao Huaijing have a good personal relationship, after capturing Gaomi County, Zhang Xuan asked Wei Yunqi to secretly give Xiao Huaijing a large amount of jewelry, Xiao Huaijing remained silent on many things, otherwise Zhang Xutuo and Zhang Xuan would have been impeached for many things.

Zhang Xuan thought about it, Beihai County has been relatively calm recently, and there should be no big deal when Xiao Huaijing came over, so Zhang Xuan urged the horse to go to the county office.

Xiao Huaijing is about forty-five or sixteen years old, with a thin figure and fair skin, he is the nephew of Empress Xiao, and he is also the queen of the Liang Dynasty.

Of course, Xiao Huaijing also has his weaknesses, his hobby of collecting good jewelry and jade, not that he is greedy for money, but one of his hobbies, but Zhang Xutuo does not understand his thoughts, and has a very bad relationship with him, until Zhang Xuan arrived, he gradually changed Xiao Huaijing's attitude.

In the lobby, Xiao Huaijing was drinking tea and chatting with Wei Yunqi, both of them were old colleagues of Yushitai, and they had a good relationship, and it was for this reason that Wei Yunqi, as Zhang Xuan's staff, actually controlled the government affairs of Beihai County and Donglai County, and Xiao Huairang also turned a blind eye and did not report to the imperial court.

"Last time, Brother Xian said that Ling Lang was going to participate in this year's Spring Festival, I don't know how to prepare?"

Xiao Huaijing smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The imperial court has not had the imperial examination for two years, resulting in too many scholars participating in the imperial examination this year, it is said that there are more than 100,000 people entering Beijing, and there are many children of powerful people, but there are only more than 100 people admitted. ”

"Has the virtuous brother ever entrusted the queen mother?"

"Of course, it is a way to ask the queen mother, but my second uncle can't pass that level, you also know who he is, with him, when did our Xiao clan people get the light of the emperor's shadow?"

The second uncle that Xiao Huaijing said is Xiao Yu, the servant of the internal history, honest and fair, and hates the use of power for personal gain, with him, the Xiao clan basically can't get the benefits of their relatives, Xiao Huaijing was also appointed by Yang Guang to supervise the imperial history by his own talents, he has been doing the imperial history for more than ten years, and there is no chance of promotion, so he is also quite dissatisfied with Xiao Yu in his tone.

Wei Yunqi smiled and was about to comfort him a few words, when an attendant said at the door: "The general is here!" ”

Wei Yunqi smiled and said, "General Zhang is here, why don't I talk to him first?" ”

Xiao Huaijing was a little embarrassed and smiled: "Then please Brother Yunqi." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for the recommendation ticket, your support is my biggest motivation. )
