Because of the reason of the war in the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, most of the water conservancy in the west of the Longyou River was deserted, resulting in the original reclamation of farmland to bear the first of the desertification trend, but the nutrients in the soil have not been completely lost, and the water source at the bottom has not completely dried up, not to the point of irretrievable in the future generations. Wu Yingying estimates that if these water conservancy facilities are kept from being damaged by man, and if grass is widely planted to maintain vegetation, the trend of environmental deterioration in the northwest will be reversed.

The water conservancy of the pond dam built last winter just replenished the lack of rain in spring, and with the help of animal power, in the autumn, the area west of the Longyou River has obtained an unprecedented bumper harvest, not only the shady households of the cultivated land have not worked in vain for a year, the workshop for building agricultural tools, and the herdsmen who raise cattle and horses on the grassland have also been wiped out. This autumn, according to the plan, Fuhaixing brought more horses suitable for farming from the grassland, and many shady households gritted their teeth and tried their best to pay grain to buy farming animals, and agricultural input and grain production increased at the same time, so that the construction of a hydraulic mill on the river during the dry season, and the construction of a windmill using many tuyeres in the Hexi Corridor also began to flourish.

Seeing the opportunity to increase grain production, the merchants, together with the farmers who had money on the farms, began to invest in simple grain processing. Fearing environmental degradation caused by over-cultivation, Wu Yingying issued an additional tree planting order, requiring each mill builder to plant 100 willow trees on both sides of the river every year, and reaffirmed that it was strictly forbidden to cut down mountains and reclaim hillsides.

"Because of the construction of water conservancy and the promotion of animal power in various states and counties, the grain stored in the warehouse has increased by 10% compared with previous years. Chase cautiously reported that he was a little worried about Wu Yingying's dissatisfaction, in order to prevent the collection of surplus grain too much, so that starvation was everywhere in the green and yellow season, the Prime Minister's Office revised the original proposal of ordering the officials and sergeants to first calculate the amount of rations needed by each household, and then forcibly collect the surplus grain, but put forward a plan to voluntarily hand over the surplus grain, and the shade households who handed over more grain could use more livestock, and the same was true when building water conservancy。

"So much. Wu Yingying smiled, contrary to Chase's expectations, he was very satisfied with this result, thought of another possibility, and frowned again, "The county officials, the officers of each battalion will not exaggerate the output for the sake of meritorious service, right?" He flipped through the statistical table presented by Chase page by page, deducting the depreciation of all aspects of input, half of the new grain, that is, five percent of the grain is a real gain, and the input of farming and water conservancy will continue to play a role in the next few decades.

"No," seeing that Wu Yingying was not dissatisfied, but was worried that the counties would falsely report the output, Chase's mood relaxed, and said with a smile, "The officers of all battalions are eager to underreport and pay less grain, how can they falsely report the output? Speaking of this, his face darkened, "Although there is no false report of production, under the mutual check of the department, several greedy officials and military officers have been found, and now they are all suspended, and the statistics Cao and the military intelligence department have handed over the case file to the lawsuit Cao, and the court should announce the verdict in a few days." ”

"Hmm. "Wu Yingying did not ask about the amount of greedy ink, now the corruption problem of Xia officials is not prominent, the key is to ensure that all cases must be investigated, and those who commit crimes must be punished, the Military Intelligence Department, the Investigation of Traitors, the Inquisition, the Protectors, and the Brotherhood These institutions supervise the words and deeds of officials and sergeants from all aspects, which is strict enough.

"Is there a reflection in the Brotherhood that the officers took the lead in violating military laws and indiscriminately giving favors?" Wu Yingying changed the topic, the members of the Brotherhood are all over the army, and it has reached thousands, these people are the essence of the army, Wu Yingying has spent half of his energy on cultivating this group of backbones, and spares no effort to make them vigilant against the hidden enemies in the army. Some of the enemies may appear as pro-kind soldiers, but their purpose is to buy people's hearts, and if they succeed in their shameful goal of stealing high positions and power, they will inevitably turn their brothers in the army into slaves like the soldiers of the Song and Liao states.

This kind of person shows the fox's tail from two aspects, one is to violate the rules of the army to buy people's hearts, such as turning a blind eye to the sergeant's underreporting of the payment of the shade, deliberately lowering the standard during training, passively executing or violating the military order to save subordinates, etc., and the other is to borrow external forces to influence the promotion, for example, it is extremely bad for the children of the family in the Tiger Wing Army to use the generals to promote themselves in the army, although these people can become officers for the time being, they are the biggest enemies of all the members of the brotherhood. Such a person will not only block the path of the truly solid and talented brothers, but will also eventually turn the equal and benevolent brother Pao Ze in the army into a slave soldier like the Song and Liao armies, and the Brotherhood believes that this kind of person has completely betrayed the righteousness of the Pao Ze brothers and is the greatest enemy of the Brotherhood.

The brother of the Jiao Rong army said that the newly elected centurion Qian was trained in the morning and evening without being named, and was reminded by others, and also said that the sergeant worked hard when he was fighting, and he should rest and recuperate when he was not fighting. When the centurion was promoted, he secretly sent money to the other three centurions. Chase said cautiously, it was a matter of the future of the four people, and he also carefully investigated it before he reported Wu Yingying, after many severe punishments and warnings, most of the people who dared to do this were some cunning skills, and they did not know the depth of the army.

"Did the Judicial Counsellor of the Military Intelligence Department go to the Military Judge Court to report it?" Wu Yingying asked with an expressionless face. "It has been reported, the court-martial's court has accepted the case file, and is preparing to organize a jury of the same rank of officer to try this man, along with the three ten captains who received the money, and the defendant is also named. Chase Bing said, "Whether or not to use shameless means to get promoted, and to violate military law to coax the military, the officers on the jury should have a judgment." ”

Wu Yingying nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The act of violating military orders and coaxing the morale of the army is complicity and will never be tolerated. He paused, and then said: "Most of the officers who have been promoted are respected and loyal, and they are the pillars of the country. Occasionally, some ill-intentioned people infiltrated the army and were promoted to officials, but they were always in the minority. I am still worried that there will be a situation where there is a crime of framing an officer for a crime, so as long as there is an accusation involving an officer at the centurion level or above, it must be tried by an officer of the same rank and sentenced in public. It not only avoids wrongdoing, but also warns others. ”

"The sergeants, though brave and now literate, are still too easily deceived by these secret enemies. Wu Yingying sighed with regret, the civic consciousness of actively participating in political life is not something that can be cultivated in a short period of time, "The sergeants now have power, majesty, status, and wealth, but these are not benefits that fall from the sky, not only to fight with flesh and blood on the battlefield, but also to protect them with all their hearts and minds outside the battlefield." If a sergeant does not know how to use his power properly, he will be stolen by others, and the Brotherhood is the essence of our army, and he must take responsibility for this. ”
