It was February, and there were people standing scattered on the side of the main roads and small roads in Yongzhou, some carrying baskets, some carrying hoes, and some carrying burdens, and the people who were working were either old people, women and children—but they were planting trees.

In order to defend the city that day, many people in the city demolished the bricks and timbers of their houses, and the trees on the roadside were all cut down as long as they were a little old and weighty, and used as weapons to defend the city.

At present, it has been nearly ten months since the withdrawal of the Jiaozhi army, and the reconstruction of Yongzhou is still only the beginning.

The potholes, the half-fallen city wall needs to be repaired, the farmland outside the city that has long been abandoned is waiting to be reclaimed and replanted, and the harvest is not yet known, but this year's summer grain income is certainly not as good as in previous years, and it is a sure thing.

The most troublesome thing is that even though they have tried to allocate grain from nearby states and counties, it is not the autumn harvest at this time, which place can withstand the food of these hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians?

It's just a drop in the bucket.

In addition to these, more trivial and complicated things, there are thousands of things, there is no time to do what you want, and there are some unexpected things, and you have to make trouble to know how to clean up, and it is difficult to finish at that time.

With Yongzhou's ability to judge Li Bojian, maintaining the normal operation of the city has reached the limit, and how can he have the spare strength to deal with the situation at this time.

The sun was in the west, and it had long passed the time of Shen, and the documents on the table in the back office were still piled high, like a mountain, burying Li Bojian's whole person behind.

On his left he was holding a document requesting grain from Longwu County, and in his right hand he was holding a case file of Xuanhua County villagers fighting and brawling and causing deaths, and there was a red paper pasted on the front to indicate urgency, and there were at least twenty or thirty copies of the grain reminder book, and the whole table seemed to exude a smell of pressing step by step.

Li Bojian was about to be driven crazy by this table full of papers.

Things can not be approved, and it may not be useful to approve them, and the townships and counties are fighting everywhere, besieging the city for Jiaozhi, and trampling the farmland and fruit trees near the left in a mess, the former field boundary has long been gone, many houses have also been burned and robbed clean, and many people have been taken captive, and now Jiaozhi has retreated, and the people who originally worked together began to fight for the land, and the people who grabbed the land.

You said that this land is yours, but I said that this land is mine, and there are even those who have lost their husbands and sons who have been robbed of their property by their in-laws, and those who have died of their wives have to swallow their daughter-in-law's dowry.

There is a shortage of food everywhere on the left and right, and if you win the battle, you can grab some rice and vegetables and come back.

From Yongzhou being besieged to the present, when he used to defend the city to despair, Li Bojian only slept for about ten hours in seven or eight days, and now it is easy to defend the city, he still only sleeps for ten hours in seven or eight days, and things are not only not less, but more.

He was cold and hot, his feet were weak, his head was dizzy, and in a daze, there was already an impulse in his heart—

It's better to resign!

This bullshit is judged, whoever likes to do it!

is so bitter, no matter how big an official is, he has to be fateful! No matter how great the blessing is, there must be a life!

If it continues like this, it won't be long before he dies in the yamen!

Li Bojian thought he was burning, but he covered his head, and the heat on his forehead was not as high as the palm of his hand.

He didn't know for a moment whether he was disappointed or lucky.

If you are sick, you can take leave...... But now a radish and a pit are on leave, and things still have to wait for themselves to come back to do it, and there will be more messes that can't be cleaned up at that time.

But if he doesn't take leave, and then faces these state affairs in front of him all the time, he will really die soon!

Li Bojian only felt that his whole body was in pain, but he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside, and after a while, a small official rushed in and shouted: "Tongju, Tanzhou has transported a batch of grain and grass, and Zhou Hucao called the small one to come and give a shout!" ”

Li Bojian was still dizzy, and it took a while to understand what the other party said, so he stood up suddenly, and said hurriedly: "How much grain is here?" ”

The little official hurriedly said: "100,000 stones!" ”

Li Bojian's whole body was loosened when he arrived, and he was feeling that he was having a breather, but he suddenly woke up, and hurriedly raised his head and asked, "Where did the food come from?" ”

The little official said again: "It's from Tanzhou." ”

Li Bojian's brows furrowed immediately.

Why not Guizhou?

It stands to reason that it was only right to allocate grain from Guizhou at that time......

He was about to ask the little official to call "Zhou Hucao" over, but he was so anxious that he couldn't wait for a while, so he took a step and walked out of the door, and then walked back and said: "Go and see the gangliang, you lead the way ahead!" ”

The little official hurriedly replied: "Gangliang is not in Silver Lion Lane...... Right now, it's in Simon's camp! ”

Li Bojian was stunned for a moment.

The little official said: "What came was the grain from the counterinsurgency, but not from Guizhou...... Zhou Hucao called the villain to talk to the general judgment to see if he could ask the rebel lieutenant to move some of the grain out......"

Li Bojian finally regained some strength, but at this time, he only felt that his head was more dizzy.

If it was half a month ago, maybe he could have a private letter with Gu Yanzhang to see if he could borrow some food to use, but since Zhang Dingya, the capital supervisor in the rebel army, brought the imperial doctor sent by the Son of Heaven from Tanzhou and was stopped halfway by Jiaozhi, Chen Hao's illness has improved greatly, and although he has not been able to return to the camp at this time, he has begun to slowly take back a task.

I want to go and beg for food with Chen Jiedu......

Li Bojian couldn't help swallowing his saliva, looked up and saw that the sky was getting dark, and as soon as he gritted his teeth, he was already out of the door and went straight to the Ximen Post Station.

——Or find Gu Gouyuan to intercede in private, see if you can help you accommodate first, and then go to intercede with Chen Jiedu.

This one is better to talk to......

***

When he heard the rumor, Gu Yanzhang was drafting the reconstruction regulations for Qinzhou and Lianzhou.

I don't know if the new imperial doctor is powerful, or the medicine in the past has finally worked, or if he is sick now, he has adapted to the water and soil here, Chen Hao finally woke up.

His body did not recover quickly, but his mind was very clear.

Although the toe has retreated at the moment, it is not known what the plan will be. Chen Hao ordered Zhang Dingya to bring 3,000 soldiers and horses all the way to clean up Zuo Jinzhou County, one was empty and handed over to the thief, and the other was also to prevent the other party from returning to the horse with a shot, and the rest of the lieutenants had their own appointments.

Chen Hao is not only a military general, but also a civilian official, he has been a pro-people official, and he has also handled political affairs, so naturally his focus will not only be on military affairs.

As soon as he heard that the two cities of Qinzhou and Lianzhou had been slaughtered and the city was scorched, he immediately began to prepare to rebuild the two cities.

——In the remote area of Guangnan West Road, there are not many officials who can use it, and if the DPRK and China get the letter, who else can they throw things to?

Naturally, he is the envoy of this festival!

Chen Hao has all the generals in his hands, and there is only one Gu Yanzhang who can be used in state affairs, so he will explain it in advance at this time, and ask him to prepare for the next affairs of Guangnan.
