"Xiaoman is also drinking and making trouble, he is seventeen years old, and he is still a child, so he chose an auspicious time to welcome him into the door before the year...... You say, okay? ”

The window lattice is newly pasted with paper, and the light transmittance is far inferior to the glass of later generations, and the sky is about to dawn outside, looking at the window paper as if it is a light cyan thin jade, Gu Junxun is lying on Lin Bin's chest closely, talking about things.

Lin Tie his hands caressed Jun Xun's smooth and delicate back, Huan \ / Love tossed for half a night, and still hasn't fallen asleep, and he doesn't feel sleepy, so he chatters about homely things, thinking that Jun Xun is only nineteen years old, but he looks like a housewife, and it is really difficult for him to plan the matter of taking a concubine.

Xiaoman's life experience, Lin Jian didn't mention it to Jun Xun, and when Xiaoman entered the door, he always had to know Su Mei. Thinking of this, Lin Lian's mind came to the beautiful and unprovoked face, although the letters were constantly exchanged, but he couldn't see each other, and he always missed it very much.

"What are you thinking?" Gu Junxun saw that Lin was distracted, and asked softly.

"I want to repair the seawall," Lin Jian said, he was not stupid enough to confess that he was thinking about another woman, patted Jun Xun's sturdy little buttocks, and said, "It's not early, go to sleep!" ”

"It's not too late," Gu Junxun looked at the morning light leaking in from the window pane, and said coquettishly, "Which one can be like you, still lying in bed in the middle of the day, don't give other people's jokes to death!" ”

"You have to have the strength, get up, by the way, help me to order, if there is no important matter, I will get up, and the military law will deal with it!" Lin Jian said with a smile.

Gu Junxun felt that her body and bones were tossed and scattered, as if every hair was soft and soft, and she still sat up strongly. Seeing Lin Jian turn around to sleep, he bit his red lip and pinched his back resentfully: "Tell you to toss people so many times!" ”

Lin Jian smiled, hugged the quilt and fell asleep, and woke up Xiaoman before noon. Song Jia Xiaoman took a copy of the Tang Newspaper copied by the General Administration Department from all over the country.

Cao Yiqu wants to build a large number of civil works in Guanzhong to repair Jingyuan Canal!

The Tang copy has an excerpt from Cao Yiqu's special fold in Beijing. The Caoyi Canal plans to start from the mouth of the Chiyang Valley in the west, lead the water of the Jing River to the southeast, and flow east to the Weihe River in the south through Chiyang and Liyang, with a total length of about 200 li.

Lin Jian woke up Xiaoman in his sleep, and he was going to "engage in military law" for her, but the last trace of sleepiness drove Cao Yiqu's Jingyuan Canal away.

Lin Lianyu got up from the bed, only to see that Song Jia and the others were already waiting outside the courtyard.

In Huai'an, Song Jia went in and out of the living room of the forest very casually, and there was no defense between men and women; But after returning to Chongzhou, she was cautious first.

"Cao Yiqu is a person who understands!" Lin Jian sighed slightly, and handed the Tang copy back to Song Jia's hand.

"Cao Yiqu's construction of the Jingyuan Canal in Guanzhong is the same as your construction of a seawall in Huaidong," Song Jia said, "In comparison, the luxury family is still more anxious, but I don't know what the Liang family will do?" ”

"Whoever cares about his Liang family, he shouldn't be a fool if he can get mixed up with this......" Lin Jian asked Xiaoman to help him get a map of Xiqin County.

West Qin, Qindi, Guanzhong Ancient County also.

In the Qin period, the Zhengguo Canal was built in Guanzhong, and the water from Jing was diverted into the Luohe River, irrigating three or four million acres of fertile land along the way, making Guanzhong the granary of the world and enriching the world. This is also the economic foundation of Qin's Guanzhong and the king of the world, as well as the two Han dynasties after Qin.

However, there is a lot of sediment in the water, and the Zhengguo Canal needs to be dredged almost once every twenty or thirty years to maintain the normal irrigation function.

The Five Hu Chaohua and Yan and Chen dynasties, Guanzhong have been in turmoil for a long time, and there has been no peace for more than 100 years. By the time of the previous dynasty, Zheng Guoqu was almost completely abandoned, and Guanzhong naturally had no foundation for establishing a capital. The previous dynasty set up the capital in Luoyang and began to transfer grain and grass from Jianghuai to the north on a large scale, and the transportation was officially started on a large scale.

At the end of the Warring States period, Qiang Qin gathered the power of a country, and it took more than ten years to build the Zhengguo Canal. When the Zhengguo Canal was completely abandoned, and the previous dynasty and the current dynasty were not in the Guanzhong area at all, there was no heart to spend great efforts to repair the Zhengguo Canal.

As a result, the Guanzhong region declined from the land of the royal capital to the bitter land of the northwest frontier, which was disturbed by drought all the year round, and the people were hungry and the county was hungry at every turn.

At this time, the Cao family also did not have the ability to rebuild the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong, and the route he chose for the Jingyuan Canal was much easier. Although the length of the Jingyuan Canal is only one-third shorter than that of the Zhengguo Canal, about 200 miles, the manpower and materials invested are far less than those consumed by the Zhengguo Canal.

Of course, after the Jingyuan Canal is built, there will be a big gap between the area of fields that can be irrigated and the Zhengguo Canal.

Xiaoman brought the map of Xiqin County, and Lin Jian spread out the map on the stone platform in the courtyard, and used charcoal to outline the construction route of the Jingyuan Canal.

The places such as Chiyang, Liyang, and Xiabang through which the Jingyuan Canal will pass are the core areas of Guanzhong on the north bank of Weishui.

The irrigation effect of the Jingyuan Canal is far less than that of the Zhengguo Canal, but the construction of the Jingyuan Canal has greatly promoted the Cao family to strengthen its control over the area on the north bank of Weishui.

In addition, in the northwest dry land, the mu yield can be called fertile land. Once the Jingyuan Canal is completed, 1.8 million acres of dry land will be transformed into a productive paddy field, which will be of great significance to strengthening the foundation of the Cao family in the Guanzhong area.

The Cao family did not rush to send troops to Tongguan and ran to Henan to grab territory, but patiently built water conservancy in Guanzhong, and in strategic decision-making, it was the same as Chongzhou, which made Lin Jian feel jealous.

Unlike Chongzhou, which repaired the seawall, the Cao family repaired the Jingyuan Canal in Guanzhong, but they did not plan to pay for the food completely by themselves.

Cao Ziqu said in the excerpt that he wanted to intercept the grain of the Western Qin Dynasty to benefit the civil affairs of Guanzhong, which was in the name of repairing the Jingyuan Canal, and by the way, the taxes of the Western Qin were intercepted.

*************

At noon, Lin Jian hurriedly had a meal in the mountains, so he took the excerpt of Cao's Xiujing Yuanqu special fold of the Tang Copy, came to Dongya, and drove Wang Cheng to obey Hecheng and rushed back to see him, Lin Tie handed the Tang Copy to Wang Chengfu and said: "Do you know who is behind the scenes to give advice to Cao Yiqu?" ”

Lin Tie has more than nearly a thousand years of knowledge in the world, only to have the idea of "building a high city and accumulating grain", Cao Yiqu is a general, looking at his previous actions in Guyuan and guarding the border, there should be no such profound insight into political affairs, there should be another master behind the scenes.

Wang Chengfu took the copy and said, "Maybe the Ren brothers have given it to the Cao family......

"The four heroes of the Ren family." Lin Jian smacked his lips slightly, and the four heroes of the Ren family refer to the four sons of Ren Yang, the former imperial history of the left capital. Ren Yang was originally the core figure of the Western Qin Party, Chongzhou died of illness in four years, and his four sons were all Jinshi, all famous, and were known as the four heroes of the Ren family.

After the West Qin Party lost power in recent years, in addition to the second Ren Zhongjian as the Xuanfu Envoy of the West Qin County to participate in politics, Ren Bojing, Ren Shuda, and Ren Jiwei all resigned and returned to their hometowns, and set up Lushan Academy in Liyang, opened a lecture hall, and hid as a generation of celebrities.

"Oh, I forgot about this...... Lin Jian patted his forehead, when Ren Yang was alive, he advocated repairing the Zhengguo Canal, or building a new canal along the route of the Zhengguo Canal, so as to benefit the people's livelihood in Guanzhong. Cao Yiqu was able to come up with a complete canal repair plan so quickly, and it is likely that the Ren family should be behind the scenes.

The Ren brothers recruited the Cao family, and this news is not necessarily more acceptable than Cao Yiqu's plan to repair Jingyuan Canal.

Although the imperial court is very weak, in the eyes of the scholars, it is still the right thing in the world. Inside and outside the temple, the Chu Party, the Wu Party, and the Western Qin Party were divided into two parties, but they were still on the premise of serving the imperial court.

Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others are the leaders of the Chu Party, but if they want to erect a pole and set up their own banner, the monkeys under the tree will scatter in a big way.

Although the Cao family has a deep foundation in Western Qin, for a long time, in addition to the Luokui scholars, how many meritorious scholars are willing to be retainers for Cao Yiqu?

Lin Tie has a small influence in Huaidong, and his merits are also famous, and Liu Tingzhou is regarded as a person with different aspirations, and it is difficult everywhere - the truth in this is the same.

Several generations of the Ren family have been officials in the court, and the four heroes of the Ren family are all from Jinshi, even if they resign and return to their hometowns, they are celebrities in a county, and they can come back to the court at any time. The characters in the four heroes of the Ren family attached themselves to Cao Yiqu, and the significance is not trivial.

"Maybe in the eyes of the Ren brothers, this world should change hands......" Qin Chengzu sighed slightly.

"The two-hundred-mile source canal has to be repaired for a year or two, and it will not be until the third year before the effect can be seen," Lin Mengde said, "The mentality of Cao Yiqu and the Ren brothers is also very stable." ”

"The extravagant family and the Dongyu have hollowed out the foundation of the imperial court, and the exile army is like a plain, stirring up the hinterland of the Central Plains, Qin Zongyuan in eastern Sichuan, Hu Wenmu in Jinghu, and Liang Xi in Shandong are all stepping on the corpse of the exile army and taking advantage of the situation to rise," Qin Chengzu said, "The Cao family has set another bad example, intercepting Guanzhong and paying taxes in the name of repairing the Jingyuan Canal, and I am afraid that eastern Sichuan, Jinghu, Shandong and other places will follow the same ......"

"The year before last, the Jinzhong army was completely lost in Yannan, and when Chen Zhihu passed through Jinzhong, he killed too badly, and there was a large-scale drought that lasted for many years, so that Jinzhong did not have such a strong man to rise, but it became a harm at this time!" Lin Jian sighed slightly and said with emotion.

Although the local warlords are not good goods, if there is a strong figure rising in Jinzhong, they can concentrate local resources and block the invasion of Dongyu from Jinzhong.

Li Zhuo went out of the town of Jibei Army, and Jibei Town was close to the Jinhai Grain Road, which was strongly supported, and this defense line had a tendency to be consolidated. However, the western section of the Yanbei defense line with Datong Town as the core has been weakened particularly badly after more than half a year of fighting.

Even if Chen Zhihu barely held Datong, the surrounding cities of Yingxian, Shuozhou, Hunyuan and other cities were destroyed, and the bottle city behind Datong, at the eastern foot of Hengshan Mountain, and eastward into northern Hebei also fell, and the Datong defense line was precarious.

Datong is located in the north of Yanbei, north of Yin Mountain, south of Heng Mountain, lock the inner and outer walls, at the key point of Jin and Hebei, for the northwest gateway of Yanjing, the strategic position is particularly important. As the western section of the Yanbei defense line, the Datong defense line is divided into three directions and placed 15 cooperative towns, with a total of more than 400 walled cities and more than 70,000 garrisons.

Li Zhuo led his troops out of Zhenhuacheng to support the flank of Datong and force the Dongyu to retreat, but the Datong defense line had been beaten to pieces, with more than 400 walled cities, only 12 of the remaining 12, and most of the soldiers and horses were lost.

This is also the harm of the Central Plains regime's struggle with the northern forces.

The north is mostly a bitter cold land, and the south is rich.

The northern army horses fought from the north to the south, and they were able to rely on the war zone to loot to support the war, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. The southern army and horses from the south to the north could not raise enough grain and grass from the war zone, so they could only spend great efforts to transport them from the rear, and the more they fought, the poorer they became.

When the Central Plains regime was strong, there was no shortage of manpower and material resources, which could support large-scale wars, so it could suppress the rise of northern forces.

At the end of the world, the foundation of the Dayue Dynasty was almost hollowed out, and the Datong defense line was disabled, and if you want to rebuild it in a short time, you don't have the financial resources.

Although Chen Zhihu had meritorious service in defending Datong, he was still severely reprimanded because the Jinzhong and Datong defense lines were too badly bullied. The voice of Jingzhong's demand for the deposition of Chen Zhihu is becoming more and more lively day by day, and Emperor Chongguan was not confused at this time, and even issued a holy edict to reprimand Chen Zhihu, but he withstood the pressure and did not remove Chen Zhihu from Datong.

In this situation, Chen Zhihu was able to hold Datong was already a great achievement, and hastily transferring the Jibei Army out of Bottle City and fighting a decisive battle with the main force of Dongyu was likely to lead to a more difficult ending.

Although Donglu withdrew from Datong, it was autumn and winter at this time, and Donglu would make a comeback at any time.

This winter, there is still a blood-colored blade hanging in the sky above the north.

When the Datong defense line collapsed and the northwest gate of Yanjing was ajar, how much choice did Li Zhuo have?

The first step of Li Zhuo's five-year strategy was to stabilize the outer defense line, and only after the first year, the western section of the outer defense line was disabled. Even if Zhang Xie and the others did not have a factional affiliation with Li Zhuo, they would exert pressure, asking Li Zhuo to send troops from western Liaoxi to contain the main force of the eastern captives on the eastern front and relieve the pressure on the western defensive line.
