After arriving at Guiling City, the troops rested here. Lingwu, Lin Zhi, Wei Qingsong and Lu An held a secret meeting in the mansion. Lu An put forward the policy of taking Jiachuan as the center and taking into account both wings, placing the main force in Jiachuan, and Guiling and Gangneung as the two wings to consolidate the strength, focusing on the building of its own strength. Wei Qingsong proposed to take the Master's Mansion as the core and try his best to maintain the governance pattern of the original Master's Mansion, and put the main force on Shuanglong City, focusing on strengthening the connection with the various provinces under the jurisdiction of the Former Master's Mansion. Lin Zhi said that the long-term strategy was not well considered, but he advocated that he should gather heavy troops in Jiachuan Tun now, and should also leave some main forces in Guiling Mansion to protect his own capital first, so that everything will change if it remains unchanged.

Lingwu took Lin Zhi's advice and continued to appoint Lu An as the head of Guiling Mansion to stay in Guiling Mansion. The 10,000 men and horses of the original Guiling Mansion plus the 20,000 newly recruited by Lu An were handed over to him with full command, and the rest of the men and horses returned to Jiachuan with Lingwu to station. Lin Zhi was appointed as the head of the guards of the Young Master's Mansion and was responsible for political affairs. Wei Qingsong was appointed as the head of the march of the Young Master's Mansion, responsible for military affairs.

The appointment meeting was held in the courtyard of the governor's house, and all the commanders and camps attended the meeting. After the meeting, the commanders stayed in the hall to participate in a top-secret meeting, at which it was announced that Lingwu was already a great spirit priest and asked for secrecy. It was decided that from now on, Lingwu would take the order issued by Lingzhi himself as the supreme order, which must be carried out, and those who violated the order would be punished with capital punishment and confiscation of the entire family.

Although this conference did not make particularly important decisions and seemed insignificant, later historians attached great importance to the historical status of this conference. They believed that the meeting had actually established a decision-making core headed by Lingwu and an executive mechanism dominated by various leaders. What is particularly important is that from then on, Lingwu began to personally command the army as a great spiritual warrior, and most of the commanders began to directly accept the era of Lingwu's leadership.

The next day they set out on their journey to Jiacheon, where Lingwu took not only 20,000 troops from Guiling, but also their families, citing the lack of population in Gangneung Province. More than 100,000 people traveled all the way, and it took more than three months to arrive at Jiachuan City.

The arrival of more than 100,000 people is not a trivial matter for Jiachuan, and it is not easy to eat, drink, and sleep. Although he had already sent a message to He Jian to prepare, Lin Zhi was still not at ease. As soon as he arrived in Jiachuan, Lin Zhi approached He Jian to discuss the matter of camping.

Unexpectedly, He Jian had already prepared two temporary military camps outside the city, enough for 50,000 people to live in. It was just that the family members who followed had to walk east for a few days to reach the station, which was already close to the border of Gangneung, but He Jian also arranged a temporary place to spend the night near Jiachuan City.

Lin Zhi is mainly worried about the problem of eating, Jiachuan has a local population of only 200,000, and now there are more than 100,000 mouths for the time being, where can there be so much food? He didn't worry about the rest, these slaves didn't live anywhere, as long as they had food and anything. As a result, the food in the station was sufficient and the conditions were not bad. Lin Zhi couldn't believe his eyes, and quietly asked He Jian: "You tell me honestly, where did so much grain come from?" Are you stealing someone else's food? ”

"My lord, this joke is not to be messed with. These grains have just been harvested in Jiachuan this season, and everyone has cultivated them very carefully, and we have collected a lot of grain, but we have never seen so much grain! Everyone handed over one-third of the grain to the young master, and the grain pile in the adult's place could not be piled up. It's not a problem to take out this bit of food, it's just that Lord Lin, it's not okay to do this for a long time. He Jian only cared about what he said, and he didn't see Lin Zhi confused at all.

"What do you say? What third? What to pay for food? I don't understand at all, you can make it clear" Lin Zhi hurriedly stopped his gushing words.

"Oh, you don't know that the Lord lent us the land to plant. No wonder you don't understand, my lord, I'll take you to see you. ”

The land outside the city stretches as far as the eye can see, and the criss-crossing paths divide it into squares of various sizes, such as ten acres and twenty acres. On each field, a dozen or so people were busy planting crops, not one of them wearing chains, and no one was urging them with leather whips and sticks. There were large and small wooden huts on every piece of land, and there was still a lot of food and some working tools.

Lin Zhi didn't know how many times he rubbed his eyes, and he kept asking himself in his heart: "What's the situation?" Is this still the Kagawa he has been here countless times? The sight in front of him was like a hammer striking on his heart, and he was relieved. He hurried back to his lodgings, and lay back on his back on the bed, with only one voice in his head: "Oh my God! What is he doing? ”

Lin Zhi can still understand what Wei Qingsong said. This is just that Lingwu wants to increase his own force to protect himself, although it is said to be tricky, but as long as it is controlled within a certain range, it is not completely impossible. But today's events are completely beyond his understanding, and this is not the world he knows at all.

Fortunately, a day later, Lin Zhi led the families of the troops to leave Jiachuan City. After about eighty miles outside the city, there was no abnormality, and it was still the Jiachuan he was familiar with. It seemed that Lingwu was only doing this around his troop station, and it was not in full bloom, and Lin Zhi was a little relieved in his heart.

There is no doubt that Lin Zhi is a good hand in managing affairs, and the placement of nearly 100,000 people has been carried out in an orderly manner under his arrangement, without any chaos. It's not like the mess when Lingwu first arrived in Jiachuan, and they did their own thing.

In this way, everyone settled down on the land of Jiachuan. The general layout was as follows: 20,000 troops and their families brought from Guiling Mansion were temporarily stationed in the east, led by Lin Zhi and Wei Qingsong. The team returning from the southern expedition was stationed outside Jiachuan City, and Lingwu personally commanded it.

What Lin Zhi didn't expect at all, within a few days of the return of the team of the Southern Expedition, Lingwu rewarded them once. The situation is similar to the last reward, but because there is a little lesson, a lot of people are sent this time, and the order is good. But this time there were too many people, five times as many as last time. As soon as it was settled, the land population of Jiachuan was borrowed. That is, there is still a little left in the east, and Lin Zhi and they don't know.

Three months later, news came from Lingwu. The Hou army has returned to Shuanglong City, and Hou Ye's entire army has also approached the boundary of Guiling Mansion. Lin Zhi immediately got up, and the scene he saw along the way was very different from when he came, so angry that he didn't even enter Jiachuan City, and went straight to Shuanglong City. When Lingwu heard about it, he said to He Jian: "Steward Lin is really a filial son!" As soon as I heard that Mr. Lin was back, it was like an arrow, which showed the deep love between father and son. I can't help but think of my relatives who are far away.
