The battle of Bayankala officially kicked off, and at this time Dingzhou, also began a year of busyness, Lu Yiming became the busiest official in the whole Dingzhou, the season of the year is in the spring, about to start spring ploughing, the required seeds, animal power, etc. need to be prepared immediately, Dingfu and the two states are not considered grain producing areas, this spring ploughing is more important. The entire political axe organs in Dingzhou have devoted great energy to this, and people have been mistaken for a while, and people have been mistaken for a year, and they have not been able to mention 120,000 points of caution.

If it was just spring ploughing, but at this time, the battle of Bayankala also started, and the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered in Bayankala also needed to be supplied by the two states, which made it even worse. The daily consumption of the army alone is a terrifying number, people eat horses and chew horses, and everything needs to be transported from Dingzhou thousands of miles away, and a large number of young and strong laborers are withdrawn and joined into the mighty transport brigade, which gathers the nervous surname of spring ploughing. Fortunately, after several years of the implementation of the new policy and the construction of mutual aid groups, the two states were able to barely cope with the coordination of the local government, village elders, and village elders.

Xu Yunfeng, the governor of Fuzhou, even called on all officials to go to the countryside to help the people farm in addition to government affairs, in order to lead by example, he was the first to roll up his trouser legs, roll up his sleeves, and help the plough to go down to the field to cultivate, which not only brought the work style of the entire Fuzhou officials, but also made Xu Yunfeng's appeal in Fuzhou like a sky, and his reputation was unmatched for a while. If there is something good at the top, it will be effective at the bottom, and with Xu Yunfeng's dignified and knowledgeable practice, the officials in the yamen at all levels can only throw away Sven, whether they are willing or not, or they can only do it according to this.

This also made the princess's Yan Nanfei and other Beijing staff stunned, sighing that Swen swept the floor, and the work became more and more difficult, not only did the people not buy their accounts, but even the officials did not have the energy to talk to them about the east and west, yin and yang violated, saying that today I worked in the royal gate for a day, I could have taken a break tomorrow, and I had to go to the countryside to plow the fields and plant seedlings with the people, who still has the energy to talk about Fengyue with them, and discuss the government together! At present, the officials of the two states can only widen their eyes, and work hard to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors, you know, the officials of the two states are inspected once a year, and every winter idle period is the life and death of the officials.

Yan Nanfei was at a loss, the operating system of Fuzhou officials was completely different from the Dachu bureaucratic system he was familiar with, his previous experience was difficult to move an inch here, and it often backfired, and what made him even more depressed was that whenever he finally found a few suitable supporters, before he had time to cooperate in depth, these people were imprisoned, some went to the prison of the state capital, and some were even worse, and they were directly taken away by the branch office of the Statistics and Survey Department of Fuzhou. In the prison of the state capital, Yan Nanfei could still go in and have a look, he even found Xu Yunfeng to intercede, but when Xu Yunfeng put the charges of these people in front of him one by one, seeing the thick file, Yan Nanfei could only return in despair, as for the Statistical Survey Department, hum, Yan Nanfei was unwilling to provoke.

This kind of long time, all the Fuzhou gentry understand that the current princess Xingyuan is a black hole, and Yan Nanfei, the head of Xingyuan, is an out-and-out broom star, as long as he is stained, he will definitely be unlucky, so when he first came to Fuzhou to prepare for the construction of the princess Xingyuan, Yan Nanfei, who was still fragrant and sweet, immediately became the most unpopular person in Fuzhou, the princess Xingyuan can be a bird, if Yan Nanfei wants to visit a certain gentry that day, this gentry is either out of the house, or very sick, in a word, can not be hospitality!

Resourceful, Yannan Feilong, who had been trapped in the shallows by Chen Xiyan, the first assistant of Great Chu, could only sigh with his companions and drink to drown his sorrows.

And Lu Yiming, who threw Yan Nanfei down in Fuzhou, has already forgotten about this big man, he has a lot of things, in addition to spring ploughing, he also has to cooperate with Shang Haibo to raise enough food for Bayan Kala's army, although the four warehouses of Changping, Anping, Anji, and Guangji established in Dingzhou are full, but Lu Yiming knows that if there is not enough food flowing into Fuzhou every day, then these four warehouses will not be able to support a month. Especially now that it is spring, and the grain in various places is very tight, it is really not an easy task to buy enough grain, but fortunately, through the issuance of bonds a year ago, Dingzhou has a strong treasury and can come up with enough silver to cope with the sharp rise in grain prices. Even so, Lu Yiming and Shang Haibo are too busy to touch the ground, and they don't dare to be careless, if something goes wrong here, it will not only affect the current battle of Bayan Kala, but also affect the long-term strategy of Dingzhou.

"Lord Lu, Lord Lu!" Fu Zhengqing, the director of the former Bond Issuance Department who had just been promoted to Dingzhou Tongzhi, ran into Lu Yiming's office with a panicked face, holding a robe in one hand and constantly wiping the sweat on his face with the other. When he raised his head and saw Fu Zhengqing's embarrassed appearance, Lu Yiming's heart immediately sank.

"Zhengqing, what's wrong? Don't rush, sit down, drink saliva, and speak slowly! Lu Yiming stood up, he has been in power in Dingzhou for a long time, he is no longer the down-and-out scholar when he came to Dingzhou at the beginning of the year, he has been accustomed to seeing big things, and he has developed a city where Mount Tai collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, although he felt bad in his heart, but his face was still calm.

"Alas, Lord Lu, something is wrong, how can you drink water if you have something to do!" Fu Zhengqing's face was angry, "Something happened to our grain purchase team. ”

Sure enough, what are you afraid of, Lu Yiming's heart jumped, "What's wrong, can't you buy food or something else?" Poured a glass of water for Fu Zhengqing, Lu Yiming asked.

"Neither!" Taking the cup, Fu Zhengqing said: "The grain purchase team bought grain, but it was detained in Qixia Pass. ”

"What did you say?" Lu Yi was a little unconvinced by his ears, "Qixia Pass is holding our food?" ”

Qixia Pass is the main road of Dingzhou to the hinterland of Dachu, and it is also the throat of Dingzhou where Dachu chokes Dingzhou, which belongs to the state, in the past, a large number of grain purchased by Dingzhou from the outside has been transported into Dingzhou through here, and there has never been anything wrong, how can Qixia Pass detain the grain of Dingzhou at such a critical juncture?

"What does Wu Zecheng mean? Do you want to turn your face with Dingzhou? "Lu Yiming is puzzled, Yu Zecheng is a handsome man, although he is good friends with the Xiao family, but he is not bad with Dingzhou, he belongs to the left and right, and the eight-sided exquisite character.

"I don't know! Li Shanbin, the Qixia guard who came forward to detain our grain team, and an official of the Commerce and Trade Department in charge of the grain team reasoned with the other party, and was beaten out with a stick by the local government, and he is now recuperating from his injuries! Fu Zhengqing finally took a breath.

There is no reason to detain the food that Dingzhou urgently needs, which is not good, because this is obviously taking Dingzhou's soft coercion, Lu Yiming's face sank, did Yu Zecheng completely take refuge in the Xiao family and prepare to fight with Dingzhou? Is this the mastermind of the Xiao family, who wants to use grain to make Dingzhou fall into the quagmire of the grassland war and can't pull out his feet, if this is the case, it will be very bad. Qixia Pass is the throat road in and out of Dingzhou, stuck here, if you want to enter Dingzhou, you only have to go over the mountains and mountains, but not to mention the difficulty of this road, it is difficult for people to come in, not to mention the grain truck of the brigade.

"Come on, hurry up and ask Lord Shang to discuss with Director Qingfeng!" Lu Yiming said loudly.

"Zhengqing, you quickly report this situation to Lord Xu in Fuzhou, if Qixia Pass is blocked, we can only rely on him to Fuzhou Road."

"Yes, my lord, I'll do it right away!" Fu Zhengqing rushed out again.

After a short time, Shang Haibo and Qingfeng arrived at Lu Yiming's side one after the other.

After briefly introducing the matter to the two of them, Shang Haibo and Qingfeng immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.

"This matter must be resolved immediately." Shang Haibo said: "If the adequate supply of food cannot be guaranteed, the final plan of pacifying the grassland formulated by the marshal will be difficult to achieve, which will force the marshal to fight quickly, and the quick battle, even if Bayar is defeated and Bayan Kala is defeated, the follow-up will also make Dingzhou mired in the quagmire and unable to extricate itself, and it is simply unable to deal with the changes in the situation in the Central Plains." What's more, a quick battle will definitely make the soldiers of Dingzhou pay greater casualties. This is also a great disadvantage for the Dingzhou army, we have to lay down the grassland, and at the same time, we have to ensure sufficient strength. ”

"Director Qingfeng, do you have any clues of Wu Zecheng doing this?" Lu Yiming asked Qingfeng.

Qingfeng shook his head a little confused, "Not at all, all kinds of signs show that Wu Zecheng has no intention of being an enemy of us at all, if this is the case, then Bingzhou should reorganize its armament and gather troops, otherwise Dingzhou will free up his hand, and it will be the moment to kill him." ”

"How so?" Lu Yiming was puzzled, "Could it be that Qixia guards Li Shanbin made his own assertions?" ”

"It's entirely possible!" Shang Haibo said: "Director Qingfeng, if Wu Zecheng has no signs of being an enemy with us, then the problem is likely to lie with this Li Shanbin, you immediately go and check the roots of this Li Shanbin." See what special background he has. ”

"I'll do it right away!" Qingfeng nodded. "In three days at the latest, I will be able to dig out three generations of his ancestors."

Sighing, Shang Haibo said: "We are careless, Qixia Pass is so important, it is completely the lifeline of our Dingzhou, we have ignored it before." ”

"Do you want to tell the marshal about this?" Lu Yiming said.

Shang Haibo nodded, "Eight hundred miles to expeditious, report to the marshal quickly, and at the same time tell the marshal that we will solve this matter as much as possible, if there is any disharmony, we can only let the marshal start the second plan." ”

The three of them all have a worried face, and the second plan is to fight quickly, and this is what none of them wants to see.
