Chapter 541: Return (1)

After Chen Shaoming and the others left, Zhong Weiwei began to work on another matter.

She invited Xu Han and Liao Xianling to discuss her other idea with them.

Since Xu Han came here and began to build Xijing, he has been committed to recruiting troops, but these actions have been carried out in private.

In other words, although the imperial court will give a part of the expenses, it will not be too generous, and it will not be able to clear the accounts, which is a great constraint on the development of this army.

Now there are still few people, and they are already stretched, and in the future, when there are more and more people, a lot of trouble will come one after another.

For example, how to feed this group of people and give them peace of mind.

For example, the expenditure of military spending can be hidden accounts, but it is impossible for him to hide all the people and not leak any news.

If Dongling knew about the existence of this army, it would lose the significance of Chonghua secretly building Xijing and Xu Han secretly recruiting troops.

In addition, Jiujun Town has been expanding, but the population and economy have not kept up, and now most of the residents are merchants and artisans who participated in the construction, except for the original population.

The tea trade alone will not attract so many people to settle here in a short period of time.

When the project is finished and these people leave, Xijing will become an empty city, a dead city, so it is very necessary to solve this problem.

Zhong Weiwei's idea is this, she wants to turn this privately recruited army into a citizen of Xijing.

Usually for the people, farming, business, having children, and supporting themselves; In wartime, he was a soldier, charging into battle, defending his home and country, and opening up territory.

As for planting tea, she didn't plan to include these, after all, planting tea and making tea is a technical job, and not everyone can touch it.

Chonghua has always hoped to change the status quo of Liguo's over-reliance on the tea trade and hope that more people will grow food, but for various reasons, this policy has not been well implemented.

Nanjun has a warm climate, fertile land, and abundant rainfall, which is a very suitable place for planting rice, and as long as it is operated properly, it is completely possible to take the lead in implementing the new policy in Nanjun and turn Nanjun into the granary of Liguo.

If it is done well, it is a good thing to kill several birds with one stone.

Regarding this matter, Zhong Weiwei has been thinking about it since the day he wanted to build Xijing, and after repeated thinking and verification, it has been almost a year since he took it out.

In this year, in addition to running to the construction site, to the tea plantation, and to the field, she didn't just touch her mouth and forget it.

Therefore, when she spoke her mind, there was no doubt that she had the support of Xu Han and Liao Xianling.

Xu Han sighed: "It's hard for you to think so long-term and thoughtful, spring is coming, and the young men in the barracks are always fighting, just because they are idle and suffocating." ”

Young and strong men are locked up in one place, with nowhere to exert their strength, and they have no home or anything, so they are angry, and when they are prosperous, they are easy to make trouble.

Liao County Ling hurriedly coughed twice and reminded Xu Han, what is it to hold back, this kind of thing is inappropriate to say in front of Zhong Wei's only woman.

Although everyone knows what is going on, there is no home and a lack of women.

Xu Han's face was slightly red, and he said with a smile: "It's just that this matter is easier said than done, and you have to carefully draft a charter and report it to Your Majesty, and after Your Majesty agrees, start it again and do it step by step." ”

"Then, the content of the Tun army will be annoying to the general."

Zhong Weiwei smiled and arranged the Liao County Order: "Old Liao, you are more familiar with people's livelihood and farming than us, so it depends on you." ”

"If you don't give in, even if you fight for this old life, you must not fail in your mission."

Liao Xianling's little eyes flashed with excitement, staring at Zhong Weiwei with the eyes of a big baby, and he intuitively felt that his eunuch journey was about to reach a new level.

A group of people worked together and worked in full swing.

In the blink of an eye, it's March.

The weather was getting hotter, and the plan for the Tun army was revised several times, Zhong Weiwei sent a letter to Chonghua, briefly mentioning this idea, and soon got Chonghua's reply.

Chonghua was very interested, and asked Jiujun Town to send someone to Beijing, explain the detailed plan and concept to him carefully, and he should organize the ministers to discuss dialectically, and then decide what to do.

Xu Han just recruited a group of people, but he couldn't leave, and he was a military general, so he was not suitable to do this, so this task fell to Liao County's order.

Liao County Ling couldn't help but be overjoyed, and made full preparations for this, but there were still a few places where he still felt that it was a little unclear, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to cope with Chonghua, and he would be embarrassed in public.

Several times caused Zhong Weiwei to miss meals and rest, and received all kinds of big white gifts from Xiaotang, Rouge and others, he was not angry, let alone to his heart, and sent them all kinds of fresh things in the countryside with a smile.

One day, seeing that Zhong Weiwei was in a good mood, he had to suggest inch by inch: "Xia Guan is clumsy, he has never seen a big scene, every time he thinks of going to the audience, he is so scared that he can't sleep all night."

I'm really afraid of making a mistake, Your Majesty is not happy, it doesn't matter if you kill me, I'm afraid of delaying the big thing. Why don't you take me with you, with you covering me, I will also be steady. ”

An old man, making this pitiful expression, looks really uncomfortable.

Xiaotang and Rouge glanced at each other, and made a "vomit" action mischievously, and was seen by Liao County, he was not angry, and said happily: "Disturb the two sisters, the lower official knows that he is old and ugly......"

Zhong Weiwei couldn't listen to it, and scolded Xiaotang and Rouge with a straight face.

Liao County Ling happily said good things for Xiaotang and Rouge on the side, and he was not angry at all.

When he left, Zhong Weiwei warned Xiaotang and Rouge: "Don't bully him old ugly, he is not a straw bag, he can live safely and securely in this kind of place for so many years, and he has always been without merit, and it is also a great skill."

The drafting of this plan this time is a testament to his insight and ability, and this person will be great in the future. ”

Xiaotang and Rouge both restrained their expressions.

After the meal, Xiaotang took Zhong Weiwei for a walk and asked her in a low voice: "Liao County Ling has been urging you to enter Beijing, why do I think it is Your Majesty's intention?" Do you want to go? ”

Zhong Weiwei looked at the tall tassel tree next to the white sandalwood pavilion, and was a little stunned for a while.

At the beginning of the year, Chonghua wrote to her, asking her if she could hang a lantern on the tassel tree, and then sleep at night by reading his name, inviting him to come to sleep.

She never replied to the letter, nor did she hang a lantern.

Since then, Chonghua has never mentioned such words in his letter to her.

The two still exchanged letters, but apart from greeting each other, they were talking about business. (To be continued.) )
