Chapter 1: Autumn Fruit

In the autumn of the second year, for the people of Toyoshu, it was a bumper autumn harvest.

Although the war is endless this year, but God finally gives face, to the wind and rain, the five grains and six animals are prosperous, as the saying goes, there is food in the hand and the heart is not panicked, there is money in the pocket, and there is confidence in speaking, Yang Hao, who is just injured, spent half a month running through the twelve farms in six counties of Fengzhou, along the way, the situation everywhere is gratifying,

However, there are many problems exposed, especially in terms of farmland and water conservancy construction, except for individual farms such as Luoyanchuan, most areas still rely on the weather for food; In terms of recruiting displaced people to reclaim the famine, there are also many unsatisfactory places, many policies to benefit the people are not in place, and the phenomenon of interests being intercepted at the grassroots level is very prominent; In addition, the phenomena of deforestation for land reclamation, grassland reclamation, and reclamation of lakes (ponds) are also very serious, and if these problems cannot be thoroughly corrected, they will inevitably have an adverse impact on agricultural production in the future.

After returning to Feng'an, Yang Hao arranged for Feng Yi, the new director of the Agricultural and Mulberry Bureau, to study and formulate the agricultural development plan for the next three years, and Feng Yi's original Yongfeng County recruited 38,000 displaced people in just one year, and reclaimed nearly 300,000 acres, which was the most in each county.

In addition to agriculture, industry and commerce have also made great progress in this year, Fengzhou blanket factory after three expansions, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, nearly 1,000 workers and technicians, with an annual output value of 1.3 million taels of silver, Yongfeng Iron Works, Fengzhou No. 1 Coal Mine operation has also entered the right track, and has obtained real benefits, because of the substantial increase in coal production, the price of coal in Fengzhou has fallen again and again, and the people who use coal as fuel have become more and more. There are many people who follow the example of the middle and above families in Toyozhou,

Yongchang company officially listed operation, in wood processing, water transport invested heavily in a series of entities, after accumulating a certain amount of operational experience, that is, a large number of into the field of construction and municipal engineering, at the end of August of the second year, Yongchang Construction Municipal Company was established, the first project of operation is "Shannan County City Defense Comprehensive Renovation Project", and the war with the Uighurs and barbarian blacks proved one thing, in the confrontation with the steppe cavalry, the role of high walls and fortifications is very huge, Shannan County in the case of only hundreds of regular troops, Relying on a not too high earthen wall, it successfully blocked the attack of the barbarian army of 7,000 people, and bought precious time for the final victory.

According to Yang Hao's plan, in the next three years, the mountain will also successively transform the city defense of Yongbian, Zhongshou City, Yinshan and other places, build five to ten new medium-sized fortresses in the east of Wolf Mountain and west of Yinshan, and build a large military fortress that can be compared with the megalithic fort in the south of Yinshan Mountain and north of Datongchuan, in addition, it will also re-plan and build the city walls of Feng'an and Fengzhou, strengthen and rebuild the north wall of Yongfeng City, and the north-south trade road project through the Sheep Mountain has been included in one of the ten key projects in the three years.

As the contractor of the project, Fengzhou Thorn Mansion can only raise one-third of the project money, and the rest of the money is temporarily advanced by Yongchang Company as collateral against the tariff of Zhongshou City Commercial Road.

Less than a month after the resumption of production of Yongfeng Iron Works, the Kulubo family iron company was officially put into operation, the first order came from the Xinning Army Ordnance Division, ordering one hundred and eighty sets of heavy armor, according to the production capacity of the Kulub company, one hundred and eighty sets of heavy armor was enough for them to work for more than half a year, Quilina began to run her first business, the goal was to sell three hundred sets of heavy armor to the Uighur Great Khan, the achievements of the Kurub cavalry in the Poyang Valley were greatly exaggerated, and spread throughout the Uighur Khanate through various channels,

Yang Hao instructed the intelligence office and the Uighur governor Wan Duan, to do everything possible to help Quelina make this order, as long as the Uighurs are willing to pay for heavy armor, the large and small tribes attached to them will also willingly pay for it, this country is already dead, the smell of decay is full of every corner, the well-dressed nobles are drunk and dreaming of death, full of outdated ideas of discord, the ministers will only look at the face of the Great Khan, and use the power in their hands to frantically seek benefits for themselves, The ruler has lost the basic judgment of things and the possibility of self-awakening,

The living conditions of ordinary people are deteriorating, most of them have lost confidence in life and the future, and have become pessimistic and misanthropic, Buddhism is spreading at a very fast speed, and the original Manichaeism anesthetizes the hungry and cold people, Yang Hao vaguely remembers that the Uighur Khanate perished before the Tang Dynasty, but he can't remember that year, although he doesn't know the specific reason for the sudden demise of this powerful neighbor, but from his bad reality, it is strange that such a country does not perish, since he has decayed and fallen, Then push him again, die early and be reborn early,

On the last day of September, news came from Chang'an that the Tiande Army, which had suffered from the war, was demoted from the Tao to the army, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and his dream of being promoted to an official and making a fortune had come to naught.

On the fifth day of October, Meng Bochang's eldest son was full moon, and Yang Hao planned to send Guan Suo as a personal envoy to Xiazhou to congratulate, but the day before Guan Suo set off, Meng Bochang suddenly sent someone to send a handwritten letter, inviting Yang Hao to go to Xiazhou in person.

Yang Hao asked Guan Suo: "Have you heard any rumors recently?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Yang Hao regretted it a little, Xiazhou is different from Linzhou, Linzhou is the north-south transportation artery, although it is his sworn brother who is in power, but the intelligence room still places a lot of secret agents, any wind and grass in Linzhou Yang Hao can know in Fengzhou, Xiazhou is located in the southwest, and there is not much to do with the vast Gobi Desert in Fengzhou, plus Meng Bochang has an arrogant temper, Yang Hao has always restrained the activities of the intelligence room in Xiasui, even if he asks about such a delicate matter, he is afraid that it will be in vain. I can't say that it will also provoke a complaint from Guan Suo,

Sure enough, Guan Suo pursed his lips and said faintly: "I don't have anyone over there in Xia Sui, what news can there be." ”

Yang Hao made a shut-up gesture to him, lest he complain to himself again, but Guan Suo didn't mean to shut up: "Since the signing of the "Dongsai Town Agreement", you have been a tyrant in the north, and it is normal for Meng Dashuai to want to climb and make friends with you, so why should you be suspicious." ”

Yang Hao laughed secretly in his heart, Meng Bochang's temper is too clear to him, arrogant, confident, cynical, how could he invite himself to drink any full moon wine in a good manner, there must be something strange in this, this time he used troops against the Tiande army, Uighurs and barbarians one after another without asking for instructions, although the results were all victorious, but this charge of being good at advocating can't run, long before the Tiande army, Tang Ning sent someone to bring a sentence to himself, saying that the various factions within the assassin horse camp are fighting fiercely, and they must be cautious and careful in everything,

Yang Hao regretted that he couldn't understand the meaning of Tang Ning's words that day, the infighting in the stabbing horse camp has never stopped, and it has never been fierce, the upper level fights, what should you do below, why do you Tang Ning mysteriously bring this sentence over, the real meaning of this sentence Yang Hao only understood it on the eve of the siege of the barbarian old man and Gu Duoli, this infighting is likely to be related to the adjustment of the upper echelons of the Baoli Society, in other words, the general manager of the Baoli Society may have to be replaced

As a five-grade horizontal knife, Yang Hao is not qualified to know the true identity of the chief manager, but as the saying goes, "once a son of heaven and a courtier", a chief manager likes a dry method, in this critical moment of changing the dynasty, he did such a big thing without asking for instructions, in any case, it is risky, the original chief manager does not pay attention to Fengzhou, it does not mean that the new chief manager does not pay attention to it, the original chief manager appreciates the assertiveness of his subordinates, but the new chief manager may like obedient subordinates,

This is the sorrow of the little people, who can never see their fate clearly, and who will always live in the shadow of the unknown,

Guan Suo is right, after the signing of the "Dongsai Town Agreement", he seems to be a hegemon in the north, Fengzhou is no longer a threat, those small and medium-sized tribes sandwiched between the Uighurs and the Tang Dynasty have been attached, Jin Mili of the Vulture Department personally brought eighteen mink skins to Feng'an to celebrate Xiaoyu's eighteenth birthday, and also sent his youngest son to the Fengzhou Economics Hall, half of which was a foreign student, and half of whom was also a hostage pledged in Fengzhou,

The tree is a big wind......

The big tree in Fengzhou has been carefully watered by himself, and now it is already fruitful, and it is the season to reach out and pick the fruit, Yang Hao often feels that he should be grateful to Li Xun, Qiu Shiliang, and Wu Chen, who let themselves know that there is a word in this world called "people's hearts are sinister", and there is also a word called "be careful to sail the boat for ten thousand years", however, the world may not be full of gentlemen, but it may not be all villains, and the eyes of people can not be too gloomy, maybe Meng Bochang is really a piece of good intentions, if he doesn't go, Don't you lose such a good friend who has helped you so much?

After thinking about it, Yang Hao decided to go to Xiazhou, not only by himself, but also with Qing'er, Xiaoyu and Lu Rui.

Before leaving, Yang Hao decided to go to Fengzhou Prison to visit Yuegu, because of the two crimes of collaborating with the enemy and murdering her husband, Yuegu was detained during Yang Hao's coma, and now in Fengzhou, Yang Hao is the law, as long as he says Yuegu will be acquitted, but Yang Hao knows very well in his heart that what he is doing in Fengzhou is a pioneering industry, and the success of the cause depends on a sound, stable and majestic law as a guarantee, otherwise everything is empty talk,

It is not difficult to formulate legal provisions, but it is difficult to enforce them, and the biggest obstacle encountered in enforcement is the erosion of power on justice, especially for adjudicators like themselves who hold the ultimate power, and their words and deeds will shake the foundation of the survival of the law.

Because Yue Gu held a military position in the Xining Army, her case was handed over to the Military Judge Advocate General's Division, Zhuang Yunqing personally served as the chief judge, Ji Hongtu resigned and recommended himself as Yue Gu's lawyer, defending it, under pressure from all sides, the Military Judge Advocate General's trial of Yue Gu adopted a semi-public form, and more than 30 representatives from all walks of life in Fengzhou were invited to watch the trial.

Yang Hao walked along the dark and long corridor to the end of the prison, this is an independent cell with a sunny window, outside the window was originally a vacant land, after Yuegu lived in, the vacant land was paved with a lawn, planted a few Yueji, and dug a small pond, it is the golden autumn season, the temperature in the north is already very cold, in the warm south of the four seasons are fragrant with flowers and leaves left, and the lawn on the ground is also half yellow and half green,
