Learning sign language is not a very easy thing, especially for a normal person like Hua'an, who is neither deaf nor dumb, he is really a little impatient, and even becomes impatient when he learns, and has the idea of giving up.

But in order not to be controlled by others in the future, Hua An forced himself to learn this special skill, but Zhuge Qi was also a 'second knife' who had only learned for a few months, and asked him to teach Hua An to learn sign language, which was really difficult for her.

But no matter what, it's better to learn than not to learn, skillful skills are acquired through long-term hard practice, Hua'an has made up his mind to learn sign language well before the autumn harvest, at least to be able to communicate with Congshi normally.

With the strong support of Hua'an, the newly expanded city wall was completed in only three months, and then various handicraft workshops began the large-scale construction stage, the first phase of the literature hall and the medical hall is nearing completion, and the first phase of the armory hall has been completed.

However, at this time, the autumn harvest is getting closer and closer, and the crops outside the city have begun to tassel, and the autumn harvest will be more than half a month away at most.

The autumn harvest is the most important time of the year, and as the autumn harvest is approaching, Hua'an does not forget to consider the autumn harvest in advance to prevent various situations similar to the shortage of iron plows during spring ploughing.

After some investigation and statistics, Hua'an did find many problems, first of all, the shortage of sickles, because the scale of the cultivated land is larger, and the number of people farming is also increasing, the lack of sickles will greatly limit the speed of the autumn harvest.

There is also the fact that the area of the grain storage warehouse is not enough, according to the statistics of relevant officials. This year's wind and rain are good, and there is already more grain than in previous years, and in addition, tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land have been added, which will increase the burden on the granary.

According to the harvest of two deniers per acre of land, the output of the new 10,000 hectares of fertile land alone is as high as 2 million deniers, and so many grains and other materials, at least 500,000 deniers need to be handed over to the government treasury, which requires a large storage space.

Fortunately. By this time the expansion of the city walls had been completed. The area of Nanzheng City has increased several times, and it is not difficult to build a new granary on a grand scale.

As for the scythe, it was even better, and the new armory hall had been built, enough to accommodate a blacksmith of thousands of people. As long as Hua'an gives an order. Pu Tie and his blacksmiths will create enough scythes in a very short time.

After the relevant officials made a careful count of the various numbers. Hua'an was given the amount of scythes that were lacking in Liangzhou and the amount of grain and other supplies that the treasury might have received.

Subsequently, Hua An went to the newly built armory hall and handed over the task of building a large number of scythes to Pu Tie. And let it be completed as much as possible, Pu Tie naturally accepted the order, and said that he would definitely complete it as much as possible.

On the issue of warehouses, Hua'an personally inspected the city of Nanzheng, and finally decided to build a huge comprehensive warehouse in the southwest of the city, which is five miles long and two miles wide, in addition to accommodating grain and other crops, it can also store strategic resources such as weapons and armor, metal raw materials.

This comprehensive warehouse is stored in important strategic resources, therefore, the quality of construction is particularly important, for this reason, Huaan deliberately let Zhang Yu personally responsible for supervising the construction of this warehouse, where the unqualified places should be rectified immediately, the construction of this warehouse, to fully consider waterproof, arson, anti-rat, anti-theft, any of which can not be sloppy.

Although Zhang Yu is young, he is thoughtful, and he handed over the task of building this giant warehouse to Zhang Yu, and Hua'an was very relieved.

After more than ten days of hard work, the construction of the sickle has been completed, and the comprehensive warehouse has also built a large area, which is enough to accommodate the capacity needed for the autumn harvest.

At the same time, the first phase of the literature hall and the medical hall have also been completed, and after the construction of this qiē, the crops outside the city have turned yellow, and at this moment, it is the autumn harvest season.

In order to harvest the ripe crops, Hua'an stopped all the construction projects in Nanzhengcheng and put a large number of craftsmen back to harvest the ripe crops, and at the same time, the 20,000 troops under the command of Lei Storm and Zhao Wu also had to take turns to enter the fields to harvest the part planted by the Northern Expeditionary Army, and directly transport the harvested crops to the newly built comprehensive warehouse.

In the busy season of farming, the whole Liangzhou is a lively place, whether it is the army or the people, they have started the hard harvest in the golden fields, and all kinds of transportation vehicles shuttle back and forth on the field roads, forming a unique harvest picture.

In his free time to learn sign language, Hua'an will take a group of subordinates to inspect the fields near Nanzheng, and from time to time he will personally go to the fields and harvest crops with the people, so as to show his image of caring for the people.

After more than a month of hard work, the autumn harvest was finally completed, and the people began to plant the next season's crops, while officials at all levels began to sort out and count the results of the autumn harvest.

After some careful sorting, the crops handed over to the treasury of Hanzhong County were counted, and the harvest was about 800,000 deniers more than the previous year, but it was said that this year was a bumper year.

After the next crop was born, Hua'an again recruited craftsmen into Nanzheng City and began to build various handicraft workshops to expand the output of Liangzhou's handicraft industry.

In terms of the army, the main army was all stationed outside the city for the sake of convenient training, and only the pro-soldier battalion, the baggage battalion, and the garrison troops with weak combat strength were stationed in the city.

These garrison troops do not belong to the main force of Hua'an, the strength is about more than 1,000, scattered and stationed in the four city gates, and its barracks are on the edge of the four city gates.

Now, after the construction of the huge comprehensive warehouse in the city, in order to prevent theft, Hua'an has stationed a thousand Wudang Flying Army on the edge of the warehouse to deter the younger generation.

On the side of the armory, Hua'an stationed three thousand baggage battalions here, so that they could learn skills with the blacksmiths of the armory, after all, the baggage soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army are all good at creating siege weapons, and they have a lot in common with the people of the armory, and even, Hua'an feels that the blacksmiths of the armory hall should be incorporated into the baggage camp, so that they can follow the actions of the army, and repair damaged weapons along the way, but there is no large-scale fierce war for the time being, and there is no need to consider this aspect for the time being.

Since the first phase of the blacksmith hall, the literature hall, and the medical hall have been completed, all the personnel have moved to the new building, and the original temporary building has been closed.

At this time, it is already the golden autumn of October, and the various new handicraft workshops have not yet been completed, and thousands of craftsmen are stepping up construction so that they can be completed when the weather turns cooler, after all, once the land is frozen, no more construction can be carried out.

In the direction of the Thorn Mansion, Hua An has basically learned sign language, but this secret is only known to Zhuge Qi and Li Qinglian, and no one else knows.

In order to verify how well he learned sign language, Hua'an deliberately went to the deaf-mute hall, and found a few people at random, and used sign language to talk to him, what Hua An didn't expect was that the conversation actually went very smoothly, Hua'an clearly expressed his meaning, and the other party also understood, and responded to Hua'an in sign language.

Seeing that his months of hard work were finally not in vain, Hua Anzhong was very happy, and hurriedly returned to the Assassin's Mansion, told Zhuge Qi and Li Qinglian the good news, hugged him left and right, and relaxed comfortably all night.

At noon on the second day, Hua An got up from the backyard of the Assassin's Mansion and immediately summoned Zhang Yu, Xie Siming and others to enter the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion to discuss matters.

This time, what Hua An wants to discuss is a matter that has been stuck in his heart for a period of time, and the longer this matter is stuck in his heart, the more uncomfortable it will be, just like a fish bone is always stuck in his throat, which can be described as a fish in his throat.

Soon, Zhang Yu, Xie Siming and others came to the main hall of the Assassin's Mansion and paid homage to Hua'an.

"General, what's the matter with coming to us in such a hurry?" Zhang Yu asked first.

Hua An unfolded the map in front of him, pointed to the Wudu and Yinping two counties in the south of Qinzhou, and said softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you see, this is the Wudu and Yinping two counties of Qinzhou, which were temporarily controlled by Qiu Chi Gong Yang Chu, and established Qiu Chi State, although Qiu Chi State was canonized by the Great Jin Dynasty, but after all, he did not listen to Xuan, and our army was not of the same mind, once our army went on a northern expedition to Guanzhong, whether it would take advantage of the situation to invade Liangzhou is a problem, and it will have to be guarded against, especially Yinping County, which is a strategic place, from the Yinping Trail to the south, It can directly threaten Chengdu, the capital of Yizhou, and to the east, it can deter Nanzheng, that is to say, the two counties of Wudu and Yinping in the south of Qinzhou are a knife on the head of our army, which can threaten the core area of Shuzhong at any time, so that the general will always be in the throat and not unpleasant. ”

Zhang Yu listened, nodded, and continued: "Not only that, our army directly from Liangzhou to the north of the Guanzhong, only the meridian road, Luogu Road and Baoxi Road, three small roads, the better conditions of Chencang Road and Qishan Avenue are in the territory of Wudu County, once our army in the northern expedition to Guanzhong, Qiu Chigong may not be willing to borrow the road, and our army only rely on these three small roads, it is difficult to transport a large number of materials to Guanzhong, the edge of the army will be greatly damaged." ”

"General, Qiu Chi Gong and my Great Jin have always been friendly, and after our army entered Liangzhou, there was an invasion, if our army forcibly invaded Qiu Chi State, I am afraid that the division will be nameless and will be spurned by the world." Xie Siming frowned when he heard this.

Hua An nodded, looked at Xie Siming, and said softly: "What you said is that this is what Ben Jiang is most worried about, the more Qiu Chi does not commit any crime against me Liang Zhouqiu, the more worried Ben Jiang is." ”

Zhang Yu thought for a long time, hugged his fists and said: "General, there is no excuse for the so-called crime that you want to add, as long as the general is determined to take Wudu and Yinping two counties, the lower official will definitely come up with a way for the general."
