Chapter 960: Lin Ruan's Proposal
Lin Ruan said that if you want to have a child, you must first solve the Yansha country.
Therefore, Xiao Jingchen decided to take the initiative to send troops to Yansha Country, and no longer guard in the north as before.
But he didn't hold it up, and fighting on someone else's territory was actually quite at a loss, after all, he was not familiar with the terrain, and it was easy to be beaten behind closed doors.
So Xiao Jingchen decided to ask Lin Ruan for help and draw a map of Yansha Country.
In fact, there are Da Zhou's spies on the Yansha country's side, but now that the battle plan has changed, the drawing of the map has become the top priority, and it needs to be very detailed.
And this work, it is better to hand it over to anyone than to Lin Ruan.
Her ability is used in the military, which can simply make Da Zhou like a tiger.
If Xiao Jingchen is asked to send someone to Yansha Country to touch the terrain and draw a map, it will be three or five months fast, and a year and a half will be slow, which is too long. And let Lin Ruan take action, at most ten days and half a month.
After listening to Xiao Jingchen's request, Lin Ruan agreed in one bite: "Okay, but you have to accompany me." In addition, when I attack the country of Yansha, I will also go on an expedition with you. ”
She was still thinking about avenging Luohua with her own hands.
Xiao Jingchen nodded: "Of course I want to accompany you, I can also promise you about the expedition." ”
With him here, and Lin Ruan herself is also capable, it is not too dangerous for her to go to the battlefield.
The husband and wife put down the matter at hand and went to Yansha Country together with the golden eagle.
Yansha and Dazhou are adjacent to each other, but the conditions are very different.
After Lin Ruan arrived in the territory of Yansha Country, he knew how poor Yansha Country was.
Except for the northern Xinjiang here, the rest of the Great Zhou is relatively rich, and the people's lives are quite rich. However, most of the entire country of Yansha is about the same size as the northern Xinjiang, or even worse.
The land area of Yansha is not large, about the size of two northern Xinjiang, but the people living in this land are very strong, the animal husbandry here is slightly developed, the agriculture is backward, and most of the food eaten depends on purchasing from other countries. The funds for the purchase of grain are supported by animal husbandry.
However, in recent years, there have been more and more natural disasters in Yansha country, desertification has become more and more serious, the area of grasslands has become smaller, and animal husbandry has almost become unsustainable.
Therefore, the Yansha Kingdom needs to rely on non-stop conquest to plunder the resources of other countries.
After Lin Ruan took a turn in Yansha Country, he said to Xiao Jingchen: "Actually, if Yansha Country solves the problem of desertification, it is also a good place. ”
She suddenly remembered Master Jiyuan's words and asked her to use her ability to bless the people in the world.
This world should not only refer to the world of the Great Zhou.
It's just that now Da Zhou and Yansha are incompatible, if she proposes to help Yansha Country, she is afraid that she will be sprayed into a sieve by the people of Da Zhou.
So Lin Ruan didn't say much.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jingchen said: "If the Yansha Kingdom can recover the Great Zhou, it will be a great help to the Great Zhou." The Yansha country is surrounded by small countries, although these small countries are inconspicuous, but if they unite to deal with the Great Zhou, it will also be a big hidden danger to the Great Zhou. If you can annex the Yansha country, or sign an alliance with the Yansha country, then the surrounding small countries will not have anything to fear. ”
Lin Ruan turned his head and asked, "Then are you sure that you will accept the Yansha Country?" ”
Xiao Jingchen shook his head very sincerely: "Not at the moment." The national strength of the Yansha country is still quite strong, otherwise the Great Zhou would not have been able to eliminate this hidden danger for so many years. It is not an easy thing to make the Yansha Kingdom submit. The current situation can only stop the Yansha country for a few years at most. ”
Lin Ruan thought for a while and said, "If you hurt Yansha Country this time, and then talk to them about cooperation, do you think Yansha Guojun will agree?" ”
Xiao Jingchen asked, "What kind of cooperation do you mean?" ”
"For example, to help them develop agriculture, to maintain animal husbandry, and to trade between the two countries."
Lin Ruan said very seriously: "The reason why the Yansha Kingdom has invaded the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty year after year is to compete for cultivated land resources, after all, the grain that has been snatched back will be gone for a few days, and only by grabbing the land can we keep growing food." If the Yansha Kingdom could grow food on its own, would their people still be willing to fight? ”
"Once the transformation of northern Xinjiang is successful, the crops planted do not have to be moved to other parts of the Great Zhou, and are directly transported to the Yansha country and surrounding countries for sale, and exchanged for various animal husbandry products of the Yansha country, and the two countries will communicate with each other, which will bring great benefits to the economies of the two countries."
Xiao Jingchen quietly listened to Lin Ruan's analysis and felt that she was very reasonable.
"In this matter, I will immediately write a recital and listen to it to the heavens to see what the emperor means."
After all, the one who finally made the final decision was still the emperor. No matter how beautiful they think, if the emperor does not agree, it will be in vain.
The husband and wife walked around the territory of Yansha Country for more than ten days, without alarming anyone, and drew a topographical map of the entire Yansha Country.
At the same time, there is also the deployment of troops in the Yansha Country.
With this topographic map, Xiao Jingchen has a greater grasp of attacking Yansha State, and now he is seizing the time to train his troops to make the combat ability of the soldiers of the Great Zhou more powerful.
And Lin Ruan took advantage of the time before the army was sent to guide the people of Chongguan County to build roads.
The cement plant has not yet been built, but the construction of the road requires a lot of preparation, and it takes a long time just to lay the roadbed.
The roadbed of the cement road is very important, it must be higher than the ground, and the foundation must be hard and strong, which requires a lot of stones.
After the people of Chongguan County were busy with their own work, they joined the team to collect stones.
Adults and children get up early and go to the Gobi Desert every day to pick up stones, and then transport them to the designated route by board trucks. While picking up stones for nearly a month, the first batch of cement from the cement plant was also produced.
Truckloads of cement are passively onto the construction site, and special technicians guide the workers to mix the cement and stones, and then lay them on the roadbed that has already been laid.
Both sides of the roadbed are fixed with wooden boards to prevent the loss of cement and fix the shape of concrete.
When the first section of the cement road across Chongguan County was dry, Lin Ruan was the first to step on the solid and smooth road, and he was so excited that he burst into tears.
Ma Xianling even sat on the side of the road and cried.
The people of Chongguan County were also so excited that they could not restrain themselves, such a smooth, solid and solid road was something they had never seen before. With this road, there is new hope for northern Xinjiang, and their days have a new head.
With this first section of the road as a demonstration, the people of Chongguan County are even more motivated, in addition to taking care of their own fields, they spend all their energy and time on this road.
Because they knew that only by repairing the road to Kyoto would they be able to turn other plans into reality.
