Sister Yaoguang first gave me an elbow, then glared at me in shame and annoyance, and raised her hand to gently rub my wounded waist. Anyway, who let me marry such a violent girl, painful and happy, it seems that it will accompany me for the rest of my life.

On the same day, Yaoguang's sister went to the Tang Guogong Mansion with my mother-in-law, naturally she wanted to try to persuade Queen Dou, let Queen Dou persuade Li Yuan to put down the shelf, and more importantly, to save her life, and not to put her own life on the line in order to compete with my son-in-law.

However, after waiting for three days and not being able to hear back, Queen Dou couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and even wanted to rush to Shanxi in person to persuade Li Yuan in person, which frightened my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law, and finally persuaded Queen Dou to stay.

And after that, I finally received a reply from Li Yuan, and the letter sang peace, well, it means that although there is a conflict in Shanxi, but with their strength, they can definitely compete with the opponent, and these enemies are all with their own ghosts, and they will definitely not work together, as long as they hold on for a while, I believe that those who want to come to Shanxi to pick up the right ones will know the difficulty and retreat.

At the end of the reply came a vague sentence, if things were not harmonious, he would not take his life to fight for it, and would make a plan to achieve it.

Well, I'm embarrassed to say that I will take refuge in me, and I'm embarrassed to say that I will implement the plan I suggested, but at least I made my attitude clear to Queen Dou. This also made my mother-in-law and my sister-in-law breathe a sigh of relief.

Within two days, Li Shimin's letter also arrived. Naturally, Li Yuan reminded him and asked him to pay attention to staying vigilant in case of a large-scale attack by Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande.

However, at this stage, it is just a matter of preparation, after all, now is the time when the green and yellow are not fruitful, and whoever wants to move depends on how much surplus food is still in their pockets.

This son is different, Guanzhong has a bumper harvest and sufficient grain, and now this year has been vigorously promoted in the counties under his rule, two kinds of one year, and three kinds of two years. In addition, the fields cleared up this time accounted for one-third of the entire Guanzhong and Guanbei areas.

In other words, even if nearly half of the entire Guanzhong area is affected by the disaster this year, the grain harvest will be on par with last year.

What a terrible number is that? At least when the work of clarifying the fields was over, when they saw the thick report, the surprised and almost distorted expressions of all the civil and military officials were enough to know how shocking the news was.

"In the past, the grain in Guanzhong needed to be transported from the south of the Yangtze River, but now, the grain income of the entire Guanzhong and the areas north of Guanzhong can not only be self-sufficient, but also be able to take out a large amount of grain for trade, which shows how great the potential of the Guanzhong places is. It can also be seen that in the past, in the middle of Guanzhong, how much was tossed by those family valves. ”

"It's been ten days today, right?" Next to him, Wei Yunqi was lying on the edge of the sand table, not sitting still, just like a monk who was about to sit down.

"Well, it's the eleventh day." Yang Gongdao stroked his long beard, and his gaze also fell on the sand table. On the afternoon of the fifth day they arrived at the supply point, and on the eighth day just after noon, the army had reached the chessboard pass. Today, it should have started from the chessboard level. It's just that I don't know when they will attack Uiseong-gun. ”

"Shouldn't it be soon? It is only a hundred miles away from Qipanguan to Yicheng County, and if you travel all the way, you can reach it tonight. Fang Xuanling also looked at the sand table with curiosity.

In the past two days, after lunch at noon, everyone would come to this hall to drink tea and chat when they had nothing to do, while discussing with each other, and I simply ordered someone to carry a slightly smaller sand table over, which finally made everyone have a place to use.

The more time goes on, the more nervous these people become, including me, who want to hear everyone's opinions every day. After all, this is the first step for us to dominate the world, and the previous conquest of the Hexi region and the land of Western Qin was just to practice hands, and more importantly, to open up trade routes. And now, it is the real blade in his hand, this move will definitely arouse the vigilance of the Jiangnan Zhuxiong, when the time comes, although the Central Plains Haoqiang still has no way to take us, but Xiao Mo and others are not good people, they will definitely be vigilant.

"It won't be that fast." Wei Yunqi shook his head resolutely: "After getting out of the chessboard level, it is Shu Dao, and the difficulty of Shu Dao is not as easy as imagined. According to a certain estimate, it will take at least two days to enter Yicheng County. ”

"Yes, the Shu Road is difficult and dangerous, although the Shu Road from the chessboard pass to Yicheng County was bought by us from the giant merchants of Yicheng County and funded the repair of the road, but even so, it was only reinforced on the original basis, and in many places, at most, only three people could walk side by side, and even the slightly larger carriage could not pass...... Du Ruhui sighed lightly and said.

"Then it really takes two days to make it." Fang Xuanling couldn't help but furrow.

"Well, let's wait, maybe late tomorrow night, we'll be able to get the good news." I smiled and comforted the humanes. When I got back to the office, my brow was furrowed.

"Your Majesty, are you still worried about General Qu and them?" Wei Yunqi saw my expression, and asked with a smile after Li Yuanfang brought me steaming tea.

"yes, how can you not be worried? This time, Ben Gongzi has put down a lot of money. Not to mention anything else, just the equipment of these armies is the hard work of the Hancheng County Armor Manufacturing Company for more than two years, and if this southward journey is frustrated, then the time for this son to calm the world will be delayed for at least five years. I took a sip of tea and patiently explained to Wei Yunqi.

"No wonder you're so worried, Childe, but Weichen thinks it shouldn't be a big problem." Wei Yunqi showed a smile on his face, and smiled very indifferently.

"Oh? What does this mean? Ben Gongzi couldn't help asking.

"Think that the general Qu Tu Tong Qu has experienced a hundred battles, whether it is the northern expedition to Goguryeo in the past, or the chaos in the world at the end of the great cause, he fought everywhere, won more and lost less, even if he occasionally lost, he could protect all of them. In addition, now there are many generals such as Li Jing and Qin Shubao who are giving advice and advice, and now our Chinese Revival Army has endured a long sand battle and won a hundred battles. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Yunqi took a deep breath: "The time is in me, the location is in me, and the people are also in me, the General Staff has calculated many times, and the results obtained are that our army should be able to take Bashu as much as possible, why should Your Majesty be so worried?" ”

"Well, it looks like I'm thinking too much." Hearing Wei Yunqi's words, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, yes, Qu Tutong, this old guy is a ruthless person, in the past, before he met the Yaoguang girl, he could be regarded as a hundred victories.

After that, although he was defeated by Yaoguang Girl several times, he was able to stabilize his position every time and fight and retreat, which shows his ability. Think about the other former Sui generals who met Yaoguang Meizi, the female god of war, one or two, and they were beaten to the point that their heads were broken and bleeding and crawling.

Only Qu Tutong has a blue nose and swollen face at most, but at least he can maintain the ability to fight again. In this regard, it is enough to be called a famous general. In addition, with Li Jing, the Tang Dynasty military god from another historical time and space, to give advice on the side, and a group of fierce generals such as Qin Shubao to support him, it is difficult for Qu Tutong not to win.

I touched my furrowed brow and smiled after a long breath of cloudy air. "By the way, Wei Qing, now, General Qu Tu is leading the army, and you have to pick up the burden of the Ministry of Defense."

"Your Majesty can rest assured, and the ministers should do their best." Wei Yunqi replied respectfully towards me.

"By the way, there is another thing, I have always forgotten to tell you, next time, don't take any more risks and enter the enemy camp alone, if you really have anything wrong at that time, it will inevitably cause a heavy blow to morale, and at that time, how should I explain to my sister-in-law?" I looked at Wei Yunqi and said solemnly word by word.

Wei Yun was stunned at first, his eyes gradually reddened, and he fell straight to the ground. "Your Majesty is worried."

"You'll have to promise me not to take such a risky move next time." I helped Wei Yunqi up and said sincerely, and Wei Yunqi nodded heavily.

"By the way, you have stayed in the north for the longest time, what do you think of the land west of the West Qin River?" I sat down again, and after seeing Li Yuanfang serving tea to Wei Yunqi, I asked him about the situation in the north.

"There are many mountains, and the place is relatively arid, and the life of the common people is not as good as that of Guanzhong and Guanbei." Wei Yunqi replied: "However, after His Majesty promised to exempt taxes for two years, the people are very motivated. In addition, many soldiers who were forcibly conscripted into the army also returned to their hometowns to work in agriculture, and it is estimated that after the autumn harvest this year, the entire land of Hexi and West Qin will be self-sufficient. ”

“…… In Hexi and West Qin, there are nearly 100,000 people who have returned to their hometowns to work as farmers, plus the elite troops required by His Majesty to streamline the administration, so at present, we have only recruited the troops of three armies from Hexi and the land of West Qin, from the original West Qin and the old soldiers of Hexi. ”

"As for the remaining nearly 100,000 old soldiers, all of them have been transferred to the reserve, and some of them have become engineering troops, and they are building various factories and mines, striving to connect the cement straight road in Longxi within one year, and the cement straight road between the counties in Xiqin and Hexi will be built within three years." Speaking of this, Wei Yunqi took a deep breath. "That's a lot of money."

"It's okay, this year, I'm afraid we can still make a lot of money." I smiled and waved my hand.

"Why, isn't it that Your Majesty has thought of some good idea to make money?" Wei Yunqi couldn't help but ask with interest.

"Do you know that at the beginning of this year, the number of businessmen who went to Guanzhong was two percent higher than last year. Moreover, many of the vendors are mostly giant merchants from the Western Regions. In the first three months, our tariffs have reached 2.8 million yuan, and the domestic tax revenue is 2.35 million yuan. Speaking of this, Ben Gongzi saw Wei Yunqi's eyes bulge.
