Chapter 58 Development of the Baishui River

Power is worthy of power.

Since Xun You was semi-forced by Li Zheng to take over the management of the grassland, the operation of the entire grassland has become completely orderly.

The work is well organized, not only the efficiency has improved a lot, but even the people in the grassland are not as tired as before.

This makes many people wonder.

It seems that the work under hand has not decreased, but why does it seem to be so much simpler?

Moreover, Xun You is far from being as busy as Zhao Wu was at the beginning, and it only takes half an hour every day to arrange the work of the day. The rest of the time, I either wandered around and relaxed, or even went hunting in the nearby woods.

This kind of leisurely self-satisfaction, compared with Zhao Wu, is like cloud mud.

In this regard, Li Zheng expressed satisfaction. Zhao Wu said that he was convinced.

Therefore, in just a few days, everyone in the entire grassland showed considerable respect for the new master's manager - capable people will be respected everywhere, not to mention Xun You's great reputation.

Of course, while expressing satisfaction, Li Zheng did not weaken his monitoring of Xun You.

These brilliant men are not fuel-efficient lamps. In case he is accidentally caught, who will Li Zheng talk to?

In order to squeeze Xun You's value, Li Zheng even asked Zhou Fei to come to the pasture from time to time to ask Xun You some doubts about managing Lingzhou County.

In this regard, Xun Yu did not refuse, and he could always give extremely key points, which made Zhou Fei feel a lot, so that his ability to govern has increased a lot in a short period of time.

After seeing that Lingzhou and Caochang were developing in a good direction, Li Zheng shifted his attention to Baishuichuan.

If the Shenzhou grassland is fundamental, then the status of Lingzhou County and Baishuichuan is basically the same in Li Zheng's mind.

At this stage, Lingzhou County can provide him with manpower, materials and money, and Baishuichuan is the first platform for the development and growth of war horses.

Now the first thing Li Zheng has to do is to count the various terrains within a radius of 100 miles of the Baishui River. And classify them into categories to make a good future plan.

Which places are suitable for grazing, which places are only suitable for growing thatch, which places are high, which places are low, where places need to be garrisoned for defense, where places need to build cities, and so on.

And this qiē also needs a special person in charge.

This made Li Zheng scratch his head.

Xun You's ability is naturally undoubted, but for the time being, Li Zheng only wants him to be in charge of the grassland, and the range of activities cannot be too large, so as not to get out of his sight.

As for Zhao Wu, his ability is insufficient.

As for Zhou Fei, he wants to control Lingzhou.

After all the calculations, only one Zhou Lin barely qualified.

But Zhou Lin has to be in charge of business matters, which is not a trivial matter, not only about the resources and money of the grassland, but also about the intelligence system, which is also the top priority.

Li Zheng suddenly thought of Mr. Li Boran.

From the invitation of Li Boran to the past few months, the educational infrastructure of the entire Lingzhou County has almost come to an end. All kinds of publicity work have been done in place, and the next step is to recruit students.

In this way, Mr. Li Boran is idle, well, I have to add a burden to him!

As soon as Li Zheng's mind turned, he had an idea.

When even two orders were given in a row.

One is to order Zhou Fei to step down from his post as the county magistrate of Lingzhou and report to him in the pasture, and the other is to let Mr. Li Boran take over Lingzhou.

Zhou Fei still has the ability, and after being in charge of Lingzhou for such a period of time, he also has experience. Presumably, it should not be too difficult to preside over the development of the Shirasui River.

As for Mr. Li Boran, Li Zheng values it even more.

This old gentleman had been an official in his early years, and over the years, as he grew older, his experience was profound, and his methods were even more spicy, and it was definitely no problem to be in charge of a Lingzhou.

Li Zheng's control over Lingzhou is naturally unparalleled.

However, in half a day, Zhou Fei and Senior General Li completed the handover of many matters in Lingzhou, and took a large group of people to the grassland. It is not Zhou Fei who talks about pomp, but the need to develop the Baishui River.

You can't let Zhou Fei single-handedly get Bai Shuichuan done, right?

Such a large grassland is created from scratch, and the heavy work can be imagined, and one person can't do it.

Regarding his transfer, Zhou Fei was puzzled and a little depressed at the same time.

Seeing that Lingzhou is getting better and better under his own management, that sense of accomplishment makes Zhou Fei very satisfied. But he didn't expect that what he wanted to do was transferred before he finished it, which made him depressed.

God knows what Li Zheng will ask him to do next.

What if it's because he hasn't done well enough in some aspects that the Lord Li Zheng is not satisfied with him? For a while, Zhou Fei was worried, suffering from gains and losses

In Li Zheng's study.

"Sit."

Seeing Zhou Fei coming in, Li Zheng waved his hand casually, asked him to sit down, and said straight to the point: "Because there are very important things related to long-term development, which need a trustworthy and capable person to be in charge." I thought about it, and I thought of you. ”

When Zhou Fei heard this, his spirit was shocked. The apprehensive heart immediately fell to the ground.

"You know that some time ago, I led the troops to defeat the Baishui River in the north."

Zhou Fei nodded. He handed over so many prisoners, how could he not know about this.

"In this case, I laid down the Baishui River, naturally I didn't let it look good there." Li Zheng said solemnly: "My background lies in the war horse, and Baishuichuan is the first step I have made for the development of the war horse!" ”

Zhou Fei, as Li Zheng's person, and he is already a core figure, naturally knows the importance of war horses. Li Zheng's willingness to hand over such an important matter to him shows that he values and trusts him.

For a while, Zhou Fei was so excited that he could hardly help himself.

Immediately, Li Zheng laid out his plans for how to develop Baishuichuan. It explains how to measure the area, differentiate the types of terrain, and how to expand livestock and grow thatch after the various basic work is completed.

Zhou Fei listened to it and kept it in his heart secretly.

"The specifics of developing this pasture are up to you. As for garrison defense, that's my business. Li Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "It's the middle of winter, and the snow on the grassland is very thick, which is not conducive to action for the time being. You can prepare the work first, how many people you need, recruit yourself, how many tools you need, and prepare yourself. Wait until the beginning of spring next year, and then let go of your hands and feet and do a big job. ”

"Whoa!"

With a slight bow, Li Zheng waved his hand, his eyes lit up, and a light curtain was projected in front of Li Zheng out of thin air.

Seeing this, Zhou Fei's eyes shrank, and his whole body immediately fell down. Although he has seen a lot of the magic of the grassland, Zhou Fei has never seen the master Li Zheng use such a method out of thin air. But in the blink of an eye, Zhou Fei figured it out again. There are Zhuyu in front of the war cavalry hall, and now Li Zheng can use the light curtain at any time, which is a matter of course. So soon, it calmed down.

Li Zheng smiled, pointed to the light curtain, and said to Zhou Fei: "This is the map of the entire Lingzhou, including Baishuichuan!" ”

When Zhou Fei heard this, his eyes widened, and he took a closer look, it was really like that. On the light curtain, the mountains, rivers, grasslands, and rivers are clear at a glance, Zhou Fei's eyes lit up, and he just said that with this thing, the work will be much easier, so he can't help but marvel again and again, and the sycophants continue.

"Less sycophants." Li Zheng scolded with a smile: "You take this silk and record the map of Baishuichuan so that it is convenient to act." ”

"Whoa!"

Zhou Fei's spirit was shocked, he quickly got up, walked to Li Zheng's bookcase, picked up a piece of cloth that had been placed on the table early, and began to copy it when Li Zheng projected the map of Baishuichuan onto the cloth

The development of the Shirasui River is limited by the season. However, the garrison is the most important thing, Li Zheng ignored the harsh environment of the winter grassland, explained some things on the same day, left the grassland, and went to Baishuichuan.

The Shirasui River has a superior geographical environment, which is why it is coveted.

Although the destruction of the Huns will produce a deterrent effect. But this deterrent power is limited after all, and Li Zheng will not pin his hopes on this.

Another example is His Royal Highness the Boli of the Xu Bu clan, this Xiongnu nobleman touched his head on Li Zheng's hand and broke his blood, and he would definitely not be reconciled.

Maybe for one reason or another, Boli will also help Li Zheng hide the facts, but Li Zheng knows that this is not absolute.

Everything is subject to change, and the only thing that can be done well is to be fully prepared!

On the occasion of the arrival of the New Year, Li Zheng is still running around the grassland of Baishuichuan. In this era, the Spring Festival, a grand festival in later generations, has not yet risen, although it has a little meaning, but people pay more attention to the subsequent Shangyuan Festival, that is, the fifteenth day of the first month.

During this period of time, Li Zheng basically ran around the Baishui River, and compared with the system map, the terrain of the Baishui River was well understood.

Although he has the most advanced map in hand, Li Zheng still feels that he can be confident by walking around in person, taking a look, and comparing the map.

This grassland with a radius of 100 miles, west of the big river, on the other side of the big river, is the boundary of Lian County, and it is also under the rule of Beidi County. To the east and north are the territory of the Huns, and to the south, is Lingzhou.

Several crossings along the great river to the west require some troops. The stationing of troops at the ferry port is not to guard against anyone, but Li Zheng has coveted Lian County. Prepare to wait until the time is ripe to send troops directly from Baishuichuan and occupy Lian County.

In contrast, although Lian County is in Li Zheng's plan, it is not in a hurry. The east and north are the top priorities, and guarding against the Xiongnu is the top priority.

According to the map, Li Zheng chose a garrison point in the east and a garrison in the north.

He planned to pull all the soldiers recruited by Lingzhou down the Baishui River in the future, and guard against the Huns while training.

After all, in Li Zheng's opinion, the infantry under his command will gradually transform into cavalry sooner or later. And the training terrain of cavalry is naturally better than the grassland.

These two garrison points, one east and one north, are more suitable for specific locations, leaning on tall grassy knolls and adjacent to abundant water sources. They are nearly eighty miles apart in a straight line, and they can run once an hour with the speed of the cavalry and the terrain on the steppe.

Although there are only two barracks, it is difficult to achieve a comprehensive defense on the terrain of the grassland. But who let Li Zheng have few troops?

Moreover, Li Zheng has always believed that the establishment of barracks in these two places is only a temporary move. The entire Hetao will be his Li Zheng's territory sooner or later, and the Huns are all in the bag!
