Yang Hao received the good news of the breakthrough of the Boulder Fort after midnight, after he had just finalized the new plan for the Tiger Camp with Ling Tong, Li Tong, Zhuang Yunqing, and Yu Chong. The Tiger Battalion, the head of the Twelve Battalions, was destroyed by Zeng Chongyang. The people's hearts are scattered, and the army has no fighting spirit. The formation plan was an outline drafted by Yang Hao himself. Thousands of troops are easy to get, and officers are the key to reconstruction.

All the officers of the Tiger Battalion were dismissed on the spot, breaking the restrictions of age and seniority, and being re-elected on the basis of merit and morality. Those that are insufficient will be selected and transferred from within the army. After the officers were selected and transferred, they were not in a hurry to recruit non-commissioned officers, but let them form an officer corps and study in the military academy for one year. No matter how high your original official position is, how deep your qualifications are, or how great your merits are, you must start again as a soldier and as a student.

Ling Tong suggested adding another article to the plan, the positions of officers in the officer corps are not fixed for the time being, and they need to be adjusted again at the end of the course according to their performance in the armed forces academy. This forced the officers not to relax in the slightest during their studies. Yang Hao adopted this suggestion.

After reading the good news, Yang Hao felt relieved, and at the same time asked the secretary office to draft the commendation order, he also sent someone to inform Zhang Huchen and Suo to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Luoyanchuan Military Reclamation Farm in the south of the city on time tomorrow. Suo E's single advance in Feng'an a month ago, resulting in heavy losses to the broken camp, and also disrupted Yang Hao's deployment of the encirclement and annihilation of the Guiyi Army.

Yang Hao agreed to the demerit, but did not agree to the dismissal. After returning to Luoyanchuan from Feng'an, Suo Yi changed his negative attitude towards military reclamation and actively urged the soldiers to build Luoyanchuan Farm. The newly completed Luoyanchuan Farm has 500 hectares of cultivated land and 20 miles of canals, and nearly 500 hectares of farmland has been reclaimed. It can be planted with wheat, hemp, millet, beans, grass and other crops.

In addition, Suo entrusted several professors of economics to teach agriculture to formulate the "Detailed Rules for Irrigation Water Use in Luoyanchuan, Fengzhou" based on the "Ministry of Water Style" combined with the local climate and geography, which was used by Zhang Huchen as a blueprint for use in various military reclamation farms because it was detailed and easy to operate.

Through this effort, Suo Er gradually walked out of the shadow of Feng'an's failure, and before the completion of Luoyanchuan Farm, he invited Yang Hao and Zhang Huchen to participate in the celebration. Yang Hao was too busy with official business to take a break, and second, he knew that Zhang Huchen had made a huge contribution to promoting military reclamation, and he didn't want to steal Zhang Huchen's limelight. He originally wanted to send Ling Tong as a representative of the army to cheer, but because of the good news of the Boulder Castle, he changed his mind halfway.

From the south of Feng'an City, take a boat upstream, thirty miles away is the Luoyan River. However, in winter, the northwest wind blows very strongly, and it is difficult to sail against the wind. Yang Hao crossed the river from the south of the city, and then changed to a horse-drawn carriage to go west, the reason why he had to take a horse-drawn carriage. Yang Hao wanted to check whether the newly built Yanhe South Road was flat, and whether the post stations, road guards and tax cards on both sides were operating normally.

The road along the river is nearly complete, and the road is two feet wide, and two horse-drawn carriages can run side by side. The roadbed is made of crushed gravel, and the pavement is paved with a layer of fine stones and river sand. There is a post station every ten miles on both sides of the road, and there is a road guard every five miles, and the main job of the road guard is to maintain the road, and it is also responsible for the security of both sides of the road. Most of the road guards are retired non-commissioned officers with disabilities. They are also paid a little more than the soldiers on active duty. Road guards with families can apply to the Public Affairs Bureau of the Military Administration Department for a set of public housing to live in.

The Public Property Bureau will determine the size of the public housing according to the actual situation of the applicant and will be responsible for the maintenance once a year. The applicant does not need to pay any fees, but is required to undertake the daily maintenance of the house and truthfully declare the change when the family population decreases.

The road leading to Xiaochang'an has been started, and a small village with hundreds of families has formed at the intersection with the river road. There were a few tea shops on the side of the road in the north of the village, Ling Tong proposed to leave after drinking tea, Yang Hao was a little thirsty, so he readily agreed. The two found a tea shop to sit down, and when they saw that the things in the tea shop were all newly purchased, they guessed that it might be open soon. Yang Hao asked the old man who made tea what the name of this place was, and replied that Fairy Mountain. Yang Hao was puzzled and wanted to ask. Ling Tong smiled slightly, pointed to a small mountain in the southwest direction, and said, "General, please look, what does that mountain look like?" ”

Yang Hao looked at it carefully for a while, and didn't feel anything unusual.

"Does it look like a girl lying on her back, and those two peaks are the girl's breasts?" After his reminder, Yang Hao suddenly realized, and laughed: "It's really magical and vivid." Ling Tong said: "This mountain is called Xinnu Mountain, legend has it that the young daughter of the Emperor of Heaven is naughty and active, and she plays in the lower realm, and when she sees the beautiful mountains and rivers here, she will linger and forget to return." When the Emperor learned that she had left the palace without permission, he was furious and released his clairvoyance to look for her traces. When the emperor heard this, she hurriedly turned into a mountain and avoided the clairvoyance of the Emperor of Heaven. But she forgot one thing, immortals can become living things such as flowers, birds, fish, and insects, but they cannot become dead things such as earth, wood, mountains, and stones. The fairy has been lying here for thousands of years, and this place is also named Fairy Mountain. ”

Yang Hao smiled, the story of Fairy Mountain seemed to have been told by a tour guide during a certain trip.

"Guests, please have tea." A little girl in a floral dress stood at the table with two bowls of hot tea

Yang Hao glanced at her, and the little girl lowered her head, looking very shy. Ling Tong saw Yang Hao staring at the girl with hooked eyes, smiled slightly, and turned his face to see Dr. Tea making tea.

"Guests, please have tea." The little girl's face was flushed when Yang Hao looked at her, and she urged timidly.

Yang Hao took the tea bowl and asked casually: "Listening to the accent, are you from Chang'an?" The little girl nodded, and replied crisply: "I grew up in Chang'an, but my father is a local. Because of the cost of doing business in Chang'an, I had to go back to my hometown to open a tea shop to eat. ”

Yang Hao sneered: "There are three gems on your boots, each of which is worth a hundred gold, why don't you sell them and go to a hotel in the middle of the city to operate." You can also suffer less from wind and frost. Hearing this, the girl in the flower dress subconsciously looked at her boots, and forced herself to calm down: "The guest has lost his eyes, it is not a real gem." Yes, it's fake. The old man who was boiling water heard this, but his face changed.

Ling Tong suddenly sensed that something was wrong, and shouted: "General, be careful of deception!" ”

Before the words fell, the little girl threw the tray at Yang Hao with a "whoosh", and took out a dagger with a blade shining blue light from her boot and stabbed it at Yang Hao. Yang Hao was calm, seeing that the dagger was about to stab his chest, he flipped his wrist, and a bowl of hot tea was splashed on the girl. The girl hurriedly dodged, and in a hurry, Yang Hao had already raised his foot and kicked off the dagger in his hand.

The girl was stunned, she didn't seem to expect Yang Hao's skills to be so good. When she realized she couldn't kill her opponent, she grabbed a pill and threw it into her mouth.

Zhu Qi appeared behind her ghostly and slapped her lightly on the back, and the pill jumped out of her mouth. Two plainclothes guards grabbed her arms. Seeing this, the old man who boiled water didn't come up in one breath, and fainted with fright. The two guards wanted to capture the old man, but Yang Hao shouted: "Don't embarrass him, he was forced." ”

The girl in the flower dress forced her composure, gritted her teeth and said nothing. Yang Hao looked at her carefully and asked Zhu Qi, "Is she Mosha's killer?" ”

The easiest way to find out if a person is a mosha killer is to lift the killer's clothes and see if she has a plum tattoo on her abdomen. But in front of everyone, Yang Hao didn't want to humiliate her.

"It's not Mosa. It's the people of Xiao Tsing Yi. "Zhu Qi's scarred face looks very weird at any time. But this person's heart is above board, which is why Yang Haoli does not pursue and reuse him.

The name of "Little Tsing Yi", Ling Tong had heard of it, was a huge and mysterious organization controlled by the great eunuch Guo Qin.

"Take it back and interrogate her, and make sure she says something." The captured girl stared at Yang Hao with straight eyes, but there was disdain in her eyes.

"Understood." Zhu Qi gently spit out two words.

The opening ceremony of Luoyanchuan Military Reclamation Farm was simple and warm, this is Yang Hao's favorite style, and you should celebrate happy events to your heart's content, but don't spend too much money, you still have to be careful about your life. After the celebration, Yang Hao, accompanied by Zhang Huchen, Ling Tong, Suo E and others, inspected the entire farm, and the newly cultivated farmland, newly built ditches, and farmhouses were all delighted and inspiring. Yang Hao pointed out that several windbreaks should be built around and in the middle of the farm, and the wind and sand in the northwest should be strong, so it is necessary to prevent the wind from coming to take grain.

After seeing the military reclamation farm, the group came to a homeless settlement. Military reclamation can strengthen the army but not enrich the people, and civilian reclamation is the long-term solution to the poverty of Fengzhou. Therefore, while the battalions were carrying out military reclamation, the Assassin Mansion was also actively recruiting displaced people to reclaim the famine. These settlements were built for displaced people, most of whom were attached to military farms, so that when the time came, military farmland would be gradually transferred to the displaced people.

There are three homeless settlements near Luoyanchuan, and this one has 38 households and 129 people. Those with their families have built their own houses with the help of the army, and the bachelors live in rows of bachelor dormitories. Yang Hao came to a homeless family, the owner of this family is surnamed Liu Mingxin, his ancestral home is Hedong, his hometown has suffered disasters for many years, and the government not only does not pay pensions but also levies taxes. The family really couldn't get by, so they had to wander around with their wives and children, and live by working for people for a short time, because they heard that Fengzhou recruited displaced people to reclaim the famine, and no taxes were levied for three years, and only half of the tax was collected for five years. Five years later, the land went to the reclaimers. Therefore, he rushed to Toyosu with his family, and after inspecting four or five farms, he finally decided to settle down in Rakuyanchuan.

Liu Xin pointed to a green wheat field not far away and said: "The water and soil here are good, and the soil can become mature soil as long as it takes two years." The general can put down roots without paying taxes for three years. Five years later, Toyosu will live up to its name and become a land of abundance for the people of Wufu. At that time, the general will come to my house as a guest, and the old man will have good wine and good food to entertain you. ”

Zhang Huchen saw Liu Laohan's wife holding a newborn baby, so he quipped: "It seems that the water and soil of Fengzhou raise people, and my brother drank the water of our Fengzhou, so soon it will spread out." ”

Liu Xinwen heard Zhang Huchen call himself an elder brother, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I have killed the old man, how dare I call him a brother and a brother to Lord Assassin." Zhang Huchen said: "Our Fengzhou is the official loves the people, the people love the official, and the government and the people are close to each other." Why can't I call you an old man? ”

When Liu Xin's seventy-year-old blind mother heard this, she sighed and said: "There are only officials in the world who bully the people, how can there be officials who love the people?" When you are an official, you will only say good things when you ask for it, and then you will forget everything. ”

When Liu Xin heard this, he was stunned, and his wife hurriedly knelt in front of her mother-in-law and kowtowed to tell her not to say any more. When Yang Hao heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Liu Xin didn't know why he was laughing, and he was panicked for a while, so he knelt down and pleaded guilty. The bluffing crowd hurriedly lifted him up.

Yang Hao took his rough hands and said, "Mother-in-law is telling the truth. Today's Datang Dynasty has eunuch chaos and partisan disputes, and there are feudal towns and strong enemies outside. It is also an indisputable fact that officials are corrupt and violent. Whether or not Fengzhou officials can be honest and self-disciplined and love the people is useless, and it is useless to rely on the self-discipline of officials. It depends on your oversight. ”

Liu Xin didn't grasp the meaning of Yang Hao's words for a while. His blind mother sneered: "My lord must be a big official, and I want to do something when I hear you." However, the old woman wants to ask the adults, the officials are all powerful and powerful, can they let the people supervise? Don't say that the high-ranking assassins and generals are just a small official and have three or five idlers as helpers, can the people fight them? The government has swords, guns and prisons, but the people are bare-handed. ”

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and everyone's eyes fell on Yang Hao. Yang Hao thought for a while: "Everything in the world is nothing more than the word 'reason', and those who are officials and ordinary people must talk about this reason." The people were unreasonable, and the government had a prison to arrest and prison him. The government is unreasonable - and the people use their feet against him. ”

"What if the government stumbles on the people's feet?"

"Then use your hands to create the government to rebel, the officials force the people to rebel, and the sin lies with the officials and not the people."

The old woman smiled: "It's hard for an adult to say this, it seems that we are here in the right place in Fengzhou." ”

When they heard this, they were relieved.
