It was beneficial for the rebels as a whole.

It also saves him the trouble of choosing the right person to take up the post.

The most important thing is that in Qi Heng's view, Zhu Yuanzhang's intention to cultivate Li Shanchang's forces is already very obvious.

I can't, and shouldn't stand in the way.

Blocking it at this time will definitely make Zhu Yuanzhang question his true thoughts, at least in Qi Heng's opinion.

There is a suspicion of greed for power.

And letting Li Shanchang leave Anfeng Road and go to Jinling City is out of his sight, and it is also the best choice, and it will save him from stirring up peace by his side.

Seven days later.

As Qi Heng's injuries improved, good news came from the southwest of the front line to Tang Hebu.

Shouchun, Anfeng, and Huoqiu have all been won.

All the territories in the southwest of Anfeng Road were under the control of the rebels.

And, except for a few troops guarding the city, Tang He had already led all the remaining generals to Chang Yuchun in the northwest.

With the help of Tang He and his troops, I believe that the war in the northwest will end soon.

Inside the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been in a very good mood in recent days, is sitting in a handsome seat and reading the copywriting in his hand.

Since Shi Caiying and others taught him how to understand the situation of the various ministries under his command by consulting these documents, Zhu Yuanzhang has been very happy about it.

At this moment, Qi Heng walked in.

The first time he saw Qi Heng, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately got up and walked over.

He held a volume of copywriting in his hand and said to Qi Heng in front of him: "Engong, look, this is the candidate for Shi Caiying to recommend the three places of Shouchun, Anfeng, and Huoqiu. ”

"What do you think of them?"

looked at the relaxed smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face, but Qi Heng was not really confused by this smile, he just said with a smile: "Big brother, this official is what you should do, so why ask me, my illness has just improved, and you have to pull me to give you ideas again." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stupid and said: "These people were originally officials in Huanggang City and Haozhou City, you should be more familiar with them, let's not ask who you ask." ”

Qi Heng looked at the candidates on the list and said: "I haven't seen these people, how can I know, but since it was recommended by Lord Shi, it shouldn't be bad, big brother, you can use whoever you look like, and when the time comes, see their performance, and then change them." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes widened, and when he turned around, he happened to see the smile on Qi Heng's face, so he smiled and said, "Engong, you are making fun of us again." Although we don't understand political affairs, we can't always look at anyone in the appointment of officials. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Qi Heng with this list, which itself had the meaning of temptation.

I want to see if these people have been secretly decided by Qi Heng.

Of course, even if it is a candidate that Qi Heng has already decided, he will use it, but at least he, Zhu Yuanzhang, wants to know what the situation is.

Now seeing that Qi Heng had no intention of recommending it at all, Zhu Yuanzhang's interest went to most of it, and said: "Forget it, since it was recommended by Shi Caiying, just follow his wishes." ”

Qi Heng on the side listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and anyway, he put on a posture of not hearing anything outside the window.

The power to appoint officials is not trivial.

When he was alone in Huanggang, for convenience reasons, he was appointed casually.

At that time, everything was just getting started, and there was not so much to say.

But now, there are some things that need to be paid attention to.

Really.

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished saying the decision just now, his eyes kept staring at Qi Heng, and when he saw that he had never reacted, he gave up.

Turning his head, he said again: "Engong, now that the war on Tanghe's side has ended, after his forces converge with Chang Yuchun, I believe that the war in the northwest will be ended soon, we have been thinking for the past two days, and when the war on Anfeng Road is over, we will simply move to Jinling." ”

"Although Huanggang City is good, but in the end it is just a small city, if you want to develop, you still have to be in Jinling, let's listen to Xu Da's messenger said, the city wall of Jinling City is like a copper wall, it is seven or eight zhang high, and more than a dozen people can walk side by side on the city wall! What do you think? ”

Qi Heng didn't think about it, and said directly: "This is nature, Jinling City is not only a copper wall, but also a unique gift, it is separated by the Yangtze River in the north, and the danger of Zhongshan in the east, and in the south, Suzhou, Hangzhou, and the lake area, since the Han Dynasty, it is the richest state and county in the world." It is prosperous, rice is abundant, and salt and iron are inexhaustible. ”

"If you get this city, you can dominate the southeast and peep into the world."

"At the beginning, I suggested to my eldest brother that you take the opportunity to attack Jinling, and this is exactly the reason."

"And now that Jinling City has been captured by our righteous army, it is natural to use Jinling as the capital and spread around."

After getting Qi Heng's consent, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "So we plan to bring everyone over this time, our sister-in-law, Xu Datang and them, all over." ”

"But there is one point, everyone has passed, what should I do with this Anfeng Road."

"Jinling is bordered by the Yangtze River in the north, so it is naturally a natural danger when defending, but it is usually a trouble. The entire Anfeng Road is separated from Jinling, if there is no one to live here, we are really not at ease......."

Asking this, Qi Heng understood Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts.

immediately got up and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Big brother, let's talk about it, I hurried over after I attacked Jinling before, and I didn't see what this Jinling looked like." If you want to go to Jinling, I will also go, but you can't leave me here alone. ”

"Big brother, you know me, if it weren't for the big brother, you had to ask me to do these things, I wouldn't be too lazy to care about this mess, Jinling is a good place, you can't think of me when you are tired of hard work, and throw me here when you are happy."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not explicitly say that he wanted him to guard Anfeng Road, Qi Heng could hear it, so he simply provoked him directly.

Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled stupidly and said: "Let's think about it, if you can have the ability to guard the entire Anfeng Road and deal with the political affairs here, you will be gracious, so this time you really have to be gracious to stay here." ”

Hearing this, Qi Heng immediately quit.

"Big brother, what are you talking about, let's make it clear today, when the Yuan army attacked the city, I said that I would stay here to defend the city, you have to ask me to fight Jinling, Jinling is defeated, if it is not to save you, I will not come back." Now it's okay, I was hit by an arrow, and I almost died, not to mention, you still have to leave me here, you go to Jinling to enjoy happiness, how can you be such a big brother in the world. ”

Listening to Qi Heng's shouting, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed.

Looking at Qi Heng's serious appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang was happy.

With his Zhu Yuanzhang temperament, he really likes what his brothers have to say and go straight to each other, which is why he likes Chang Yuchun the most.

However, as his identity changed, he couldn't do it as usual.

If Li Shanchang said this today, Zhu Yuanzhang would have passed with a slap.

But now it was Qi Heng who said it, but it made Zhu Yuanzhang feel that they were not so twisted and wound with each other.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang told Qi Heng about moving to Jinling just now was that he had already made up his mind in his heart, but he just wanted to see what Qi Heng was thinking by discussing this matter with Qi Heng.

After all, the people who stayed behind in Anfeng Road basically controlled almost all the territory under his command now.

Even because the distance is too far, it is inconvenient to convey information, and it is necessary to integrate the military and the government.

Now seeing Qi Heng's appearance, he was originally very relieved of him, but now he is even more relieved.

After laughing, Zhu Yuanzhang still said very seriously: "Engong, we know that Jinling is a good place, and our poor place in Huaixi is definitely not comparable." But don't we have the right people under us now? And this Anfeng Road is the foundation of our righteous army today, there is no problem, and now only Engong has this ability. ”

But Qi Heng squinted at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Big brother, although I don't look down on that Li Shanchang on weekdays, to be honest, I still have the ability to do this politics, and now there is basically no Yuan army in Henan Jiangbei Province that can threaten us, isn't it appropriate for him to be in charge of Anfeng Road?" You secretly sent him to Jinling City a few days ago, didn't you already think about tossing my brother and me? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

"Engong, what are you talking about, how could we do this, didn't we also look at Engong at that time, and you didn't come to him Li Shan's strengths."

Speaking of this, the expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face changed again, and said: "To be honest, although Li Shanchang does have some ability, but Engong, you also know, didn't this person betray us to join our father-in-law when he was in Haozhou, although our father-in-law is a family with us, but we don't have a taste in our hearts." ”

"Although there is nothing wrong with us in this person, we only look at it very seriously in this loyalty, we don't usually talk about it, but we have to remember it for a lifetime. Moreover, let him Li Shanchang take charge of Anfeng Road, aren't we not at ease. ”

After saying these words, Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the expression on Qi Heng's face was a little loose, and immediately agreed: "As long as Engong is willing to guard Anfeng Road, you can put forward any conditions, we are not allowed, whether it is to ask for food or soldiers, we will agree, and we will do what we say!" ”

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's assurance, Qi Heng thought for a while and said, "Is there really anything wrong?" ”

"Of course!"

"Then I'll say it."

"Say!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang waited with his eyes wide open, Qi Heng was still a little embarrassed.

"Big brother, I heard that there are beautiful mansions everywhere in Jinling City, when you enter the city, don't be robbed by Xu Da and them first, you leave one for me." In addition, there are also the beautiful ladies in Jinling City, also pay attention to me, and when you find a good candidate, I will go back to Jinling, and I will not do this Pingzhang political affairs, and the eldest brother will look at my younger brother and I have made these contributions, so that I can enjoy happiness in Jinling. ”

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.

"That's it?"

"yes, that's it."

I thought that Qi Heng would ask for power and soldiers, but I didn't expect that it was just these, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "No problem, I promise you." ”

"However, there is one thing that is not good, with Engong's talent, what blessings to enjoy so early, our good men are ambitious in all directions, and the future of Engong will still be long, you have to do this Pingzhang political affairs, and we have agreed to the rest."

"Let's keep the best house in Jinling for you, and as for the ladies of the family, let's let your sister-in-law pay attention to you." How is it? ”

Qi Heng sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, what else can I say, who made you the eldest brother." ”

Suddenly, Zhu Yuanzhang's hearty laughter sounded in the room again.

In order to make Zhu Yuanzhang less wary of himself, Qi Heng also tried his best.

even does not hesitate to stigmatize himself, wanting to create a lustful image. Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's initiative to make a casual request, he didn't mention it as a serious request.

Walking out of the lobby of the Marshal's Mansion, Qi Heng, who was about to go back and walk around the mansion with Xiu'er, met a person who looked like a scholar.

When he saw Qi Heng, this person immediately showed a smile of surprise, and arched his hand at Qi Heng: "Lord Qi!" ”

Qi Heng looked at this person's appearance, it was definitely the first time he had seen him, and he couldn't help but wonder: "You know me?" ”

The person who came seemed to be a little excited and said, "Xiaguan is fortunate to have seen the adult from afar. ”

Hearing this, Qi Heng nodded, and said, "What is your name, and where are you now?" ”

This person immediately said: "Xiaguan Hu Weiyong is now serving in the Iron Smelting District of the Armaments Division. ”

Qi Heng, who heard this, was dumbfounded.

"What do you say your name is?"

Hu Weiyong was a little puzzled, but he still said again honestly: "The subordinate Hu Weiyong is now serving in the Armaments Department. ”

"Your name is Hu Weiyong?"

Listening to Qi Heng's several inquiries, Hu Weiyong's doubts became even more prevalent: "Exactly." ”

Qi Heng opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but after waiting for a long time, he finally closed his mouth again and only said, "You ......"

"Forget it, you'd better stay away from me."

Leaving such a sentence, Qi Heng walked away directly as if he was avoiding the plague.

Only Hu Weiyong was left standing in place with a confused expression, not knowing why Qi Heng reacted so much after knowing his name.

And looking at the way he looks, he seems to avoid himself.

Could it be that there is something in him that he dislikes?

Hu Weiyong looked up and down, but he didn't find anything unusual.

Even if I sniffed it carefully, I didn't have any peculiar smell.

In the end, Hu Weiyong, who was full of doubts, turned around and walked towards the lobby where Zhu Yuanzhang was.

All the way back.

Qi Heng couldn't help muttering, "Today is really fucking bad luck." ”

Who is Hu Weiyong, Qi Heng doesn't dare to say that he knows very well, but at least he still knows about the famous Hu Weiyong case during the Hongwu period.

I don't know how many civil and military officials were implicated in this case, and in the end, it even reached the point where they would be beheaded as long as they had a letter.

I don't know if I talked nonsense to him today......

For this Hu Weiyong, Qi Heng's attitude is still good to stay away.

It doesn't matter what the reason for his beheading, as long as he stays away from him.

This man is a complete plague god.

Although there is still a long time before the historical Hu Weiyong case, it is still good to 'clean yourself'.

It's a time bomb, no, a time nuke.

Once it blows up, it will be a big event that shocks the world.

Thinking of this, Qi Heng felt that he still needed to remind those people around him, so as to save the time when someone was burned because of a letter.

Back in the courtyard, with Xiu'er's support, Qi Heng prepared to go around the backyard of the Marshal's Mansion.

Although he can now walk on his own, his physical strength is still limited, especially after a long time, it is easy to accidentally move the wound.

Of course, he had no intention of making excuses to take advantage.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he met Hu Weiyong who he had just met.

"What are you doing again?"

I deliberately avoided him, and this kid even took the initiative to find the door.

Hu Weiyong looked at Qi Heng's attitude towards himself, and he really couldn't understand it, but there was no way, the things at hand still had to be done.

He held a transfer order in his hand and said: "Lord Qi, the mentor Li Shanchang is now in charge of Jinling City, but there are not enough officials to accept it, and he does not dare to use the old ministers in Jinling City without authorization, so he wants to transfer him to serve in Jinling City." ”

"The subordinates just went to the marshal to ask for instructions, but the marshal said that now the political affairs are controlled by Lord Qi and you, so the subordinates have to come to disturb the lord."

Asking Hu Weiyong's words, Qi Heng understood after a little pondering.

Obviously, whether it is Li Shanchang or Hu Weiyong, they want to directly settle this matter through Zhu Yuanzhang, so as not to make Qi Heng an obstacle.

But he never thought that Qi Heng had ordered someone to take the initiative to report the case file to Zhu Yuanzhang, and now Zhu Yuanzhang also reciprocated, showing his trust in Qi Heng.

However, Qi Heng didn't have this mind at all.

He couldn't wait to see this Hu Weiyong again in this life, so he immediately said: "Bring the order." ”

Hu Weiyong handed it over.

Qi Heng turned his head to look at Xiu'er, Xiu'er understood, and immediately returned to the house to get a pen.

Qi Heng didn't want to stay with this Hu Weiyong for a second, so he quickly drew a quasi-word on the appointment, and then asked Xiu'er to help him leave.

After holding the signed order in his hand, Hu Weiyong's worries disappeared without a trace.

I was very happy to think that I would be able to go to Jinling City to meet my mentor and do things under my mentor.

looked at the back of Qi Heng leaving, and his brows wrinkled together unconsciously.

"Lord Qi, why do you always avoid me?"

Hu Weiyong couldn't figure out what he thought.

Although he knew that Qi Heng and his mentor Li Shanchang did not deal with each other, if this was the reason, Qi Heng could think of ten thousand ways to deal with him, so why did he put on such a demeanor now.

Hu Weiyong, who really couldn't figure it out, had no choice but to shake his head and leave towards the outside of the marshal's mansion.

Night.

Chen Du suddenly came to Qi Heng and handed a secret letter to Qi Heng.

After taking it apart and examining it carefully, Qi Heng was silent for a moment.

Then he said: "Since the big marshal wants to know, let him know, but to behave normally, not to be found out is our intention." ”

Chen Du nodded and was ordered to leave.

Qi Heng, who was sitting in the room, looked at the secret letter in his hand, and his mind kept turning.

Guo Tianxu wanted to assassinate Zhu Yuanzhang through the old department, but I don't know who leaked it from, but now Zhu Yuanzhang already knows.

If you change yourself to Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, you only need to think about it a little, and you can think that since he Zhu Yuanzhang knows about this, it is impossible for the secret guard not to know.

Then why did Qi Heng never tell him?

After understanding the doubts that might arise in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart at this moment, Qi Heng naturally couldn't let the doubts in his heart continue to magnify.

I already have a suitable countermeasure in mind.

Early the next morning.

Qi Heng is still the same as usual, and he will go to the house early to go around.

Before he could go out, three officials had already come to the door and asked to see him.

Qi Heng didn't know the three people in front of the door, and he had never seen them, but he could guess who they were.

Yesterday, Zhu Yuanzhang asked him about the candidates he sent to Shouchun, Anfeng, and Huoqiu to govern, and although Qi Heng didn't say anything at that time, he was still clear about the situation of these three people.

Since they were selected by Shi Caiying and Zhou Nian from Huanggang City and Haozhou City, they were naturally their subordinates.

At the same time, it also came out after passing the training of various positions stipulated by Qi Heng.

Even if these people have never seen Qi Heng's side, they all naturally belong to Qi Heng's faction.

When they came today, they estimated that they were about to leave, so they came to meet them.

Just like Qi Heng's conjecture.

When the three of them saw Qi Heng, they immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Subordinates Geng Yun, Gao Wenyan, and Fang Man have seen adults. ”

Qi Heng took a closer look at the three people in front of him and nodded: "Get up." ”

As the three of them got up, Qi Heng asked, "Are you ready to go?" ”

Geng Yun, one of the three, immediately replied: "Lord Hui, exactly, there is a hurry over there, and Lord Shi said that he wanted us to go early." ”

Qi Heng didn't say anything about this, but just instructed: "Master Shi should have told you what should be said, I only emphasize one point, you go to the main party in various places, representing the face of our righteous army, the face of the handsome, our righteous army is a rebel army in the eyes of the people, if you go to the place to eat the people, corrupt the law, not only the reputation of our righteous army, but also the foundation of the righteous army." ”

"If it is discovered, I will never show mercy to those who are corrupt and pervert the law, I hope you will remember."

The three of them looked solemn, and immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, we must keep it in mind." ”

"Okay, let's go."

"Yes!"

As the three of them left, Yu Guangdao's figure also appeared outside the courtyard gate.

"Mr. Yu, you come with me."

In the room left for Yu Guangdao in the courtyard, Qi Heng sat on the chair in front of the desk and said to Yu Guangdao: "I said you write." ”

Yu Guangdao nodded, hurriedly came to the desk and sat down, grinding ink and brush.

"Write me a case file to report to the commander."

"Now it is a foregone conclusion that the territory of Anfeng Road has been conquered, and for the needs of governance, it is necessary to set up the Anfeng Road Governor's Office, and it is proposed to appoint Shi Caiying as the head of the Anfeng Road Governor's Office. Zhou Nian is the governor of Haozhou. ”

"Huanggang City is adjacent to Haozhou, under the jurisdiction of Haozhou, set Shouchun City as the governor of Anfeng Road, Shouchun City is close to the Huai River, along its direct current, tributaries, can be extended in all directions with Anfeng Road, is the best capital city selection, and Anfeng Road has been the capital of Shouchun since ancient times, the name is just."

"Therefore, report to the marshal for instructions."

Speaking of this, Qi Heng's voice ended.

In less than a moment, Yu Guangdao also finished writing.

Blowing lightly on the document in front of him to keep the ink from being confused, he handed the document to Qi Heng and said, "My lord, take a look." ”

After Qi Heng took it up and down, he said, "Okay, I hereby report this document to the marshal for approval." ”

"Yes."

Now, with the capture of various territories on Anfeng Road, the territory is already very vast, and if it continues to be handled simply as before, it will no longer be able to meet the needs.

Moreover, today's Shi Caiying is just a county order of Huanggang City, although Huanggang City is special, but the official position is too low.

Whether it is Zhou Nian, or Geng Yun, Gao Wenyan, and Fang Man, who have just been sent out, the city under their jurisdiction is a place of government.

After taking office, he was the governor of the government.

And Shi Caiying is under the rule of the middle, and it is not possible to have a justifiable official position.

Therefore, Qi Heng is to organize the administrative system of the entire Anfeng Road.

In this way, it can be passed up and down.

Shi Caiying sits in Shouchun City, governing the entire territory of Anfeng Road, and each prefecture is under the control of each county, and then the township.

By using the waterways of various places, it is possible to quickly transmit information and information.

It is the most suitable location for the capital of Anfeng Road.

Although according to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Anfeng Road will be controlled by his military and political integration after that, but in the end, it is not yet time, Zhu Yuanzhang is still here, and he still has to ask for instructions from the leaders.

Accompanied by Xiu'er, Qi Heng walked out of the gate of the Marshal's Mansion and went straight to the Yanei of Huanggangcheng County.

Looking at Shi Caiying, who was dealing with government affairs in the county government at the moment, Qi Heng immediately said, "Lord Shi." ”

Hearing this, Shi Caiying looked up, saw Qi Heng, hurriedly got up and walked over quickly, helped Qi Heng to the desk, and said, "If the adult has something to call me over, why come by yourself." ”

Qi Heng said: "Walking around the house is also walking, and walking out is also walking, so I won't trouble you at all." ”

As he spoke, Qi Heng asked about the things he cared about.

"How's the situation going for you to send someone to investigate?"

As if guessing that Qi Heng would ask about this, Shi Caiying immediately took out a folded map from the pile of documents on the desk.

This map is very rough, just a map of the entire Huanggang City and the surrounding terrain of Haozhou.

Shi Caiying pointed to the terrain on the painting and said: "Look, my lord, between Haozhou, Huanggang, and Fengyang, there are endless plains. It is adjacent to the Huaixi tributary, and the land is fertile, which is a good choice for growing grain. ”

"According to rough estimates, there are about 150,000 hectares (nearly 10,000 square kilometers) of land between the three places, but because it is so vast, although it is adjacent to the tributaries of the Huai River, the hinterland still lacks rivers, and if you want to get water, you still need to dig wells."

"According to my vision, my subordinates feel that if a standing reservoir is set up here, the water supply problem of these 150,000 hectares of land can be greatly improved."

"In addition, because it is close to the tributaries of the Huai River, Donghao Water and Xihao Water, it is very convenient to transport the water transport up the Huai River in the future, and along the Huai River course, you can reach the entire Anfeng Mansion."

"Moreover, after the subordinates investigated the field, they found a low-lying place, and its inner height is very deep, which should be enough to meet our needs."

Listening to Shi Caiying's narration, Qi Heng looked at the map he drew by himself, and at the same time checked the detailed map of the provinces and cities rewarded by the system in his system space.

If Shi Caiying's words are not a problem, then this is indeed a suitable place to choose.

The reason why Qi Heng thought of finding a large area of cultivated land suitable for planting near Huanggang in Haozhou is actually very simple.

Today's Huanggang City can accommodate 180,000 people!

Of course, this is because it covers all the people in Huanggang, Haozhou and Chuzhou.

But this kind of population size is very terrifying.

According to historical records, after Zhu Yuanzhang ruled the world, the northern provinces all had varying degrees of population loss.

Among them, Shandong and Henan are the most serious, and the rich land of Henan and Shandong was only more than one million when the Ming Dynasty was established.

The land area of the entire two provinces is only a million people, so you can imagine how desolate it is.

Among them, the best situation is Shanxi.

Because Shanxi is located in the Taihang Mountains, their geographical advantages have not caused them too many disasters, and the floods at the end of the Yuan Dynasty have not affected Shanxi too much.

There are even bumper harvests year after year.

Therefore, the total population of Shanxi as a whole remains at the level of five or six million.

However, these five or six million people are scattered throughout Shanxi.

Today, it is just a Huanggang City, once a small town.

It has a population of 180,000!

And that's just the number of registered people, and with the 10,000 troops in the city at the moment, the total population has reached a staggering 190,000!

Such a population size, even if placed in the entire territory of Haozhou, is enough to make Haozhou bloom everywhere.

If Li Shanchang's method is followed, the people in the city will definitely return to their original places.

In order to share the pressure of Huanggang City.

However, Qi Heng did not intend to do so.

Now that the people have come, there will definitely be resentment among the people if they move again.

This is one of them.

Second, when the people are scattered, there are benefits to being scattered, and when they are gathered together, there are also benefits of gathering together.

Now the whole country is in a depression.

Even if these people are scattered, how much change can they make to the local area?

In addition, he has to pay for the corresponding losses, such as increased management costs, increased transportation expenses, and so on.

In this case, why not leave them here, so that the entire Huanggang City and Haozhou area can develop rapidly by relying on the productivity and labor force of these people.

Then, from the point to the surface, relying on the natural rich waterways in Anfeng Road, the economy of the entire Anfeng Road will be revitalized.

However, this is only a strategic outlook, and the key is how to land.

First of all, how to solve the problem of these 180,000 people, plus the food that 10,000 soldiers eat every day.

If a large area is planted with high-yield grains such as potatoes, this problem can be solved.

But it is clearly not a long-term solution.

High-yield grains such as corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes can only be used as side-grains.

In addition to these reasons for taste habits, the nutrients contained in various grains are also different, and since wheat and rice can still be used as the staple food of Chinese people after thousands of years of civilization evolution, it naturally makes sense.

Of course, not to mention wheat and rice these days, sometimes it is a blessing to be able to grab a few pieces of bark.

But Qi Heng's goal is clearly not limited to this.

Therefore, solving the problem of one's own grain output, or even reaching the level of output, is the most urgent need to solve at present.

Although there are many people in Huanggang City today, relying on Qi Heng's achievements in Huanggang City in the past year, especially when the autumn harvest comes, it is still enough to meet the food needs of the people in the city for a short time.

But in the coming year, the year after that, the year after that, how to solve it.

The fertile land outside Huanggang City is like that, no matter who it is distributed to, the output is also like that.

Therefore, in Qi Heng's thinking, he planned to play a big game.

There is not much prospect for development in the vicinity of Huanggang City alone, and if it is to come, the entire western part of Haozhou will be transformed into a grain production area.

15,000 hectares of land is 1.5 million acres of land.

As long as the problem of water supply in the hinterland can be solved, the 1.5 million acres of land can be turned into fertile land.

Assuming that all potatoes are planted, in just one season, 75 billion catties of potatoes and 500 million stones can be obtained.

Of course, this is theoretical.

If you plant rice, you can get 1.05 billion catties and 7 million stone rice.

According to the food standard of the Y'an earthquake, each adult is subsidized with 1 kg of food per day.

A year is 365 catties, and 1.05 billion catties of rice can meet the needs of more than 2.8 million people a year!

Of course, this is only theoretical data, and the future potential of this area.

There are many unpredictable factors, such as the unsuitable terrain, the annual consumption, the consumption of labor, the consumption of women and children, and the inability of manpower to meet the needs of all the land.

But even if the final result reaches one-tenth of the theoretical data, the output is enough to feed and drink the 180,000 and 10,000 troops in Huanggang City for a year.

It can even have a surplus of nearly half, and when the time comes, the basic food needs will be met, and the surplus grain can be turned into commodities and traded with the outside world to achieve the purpose of material exchange, so that the people's lives will be more prosperous.

It has to be said that the feasibility of this idea is still very high.

In particular, they already have the basic conditions to realize this vision.

Cement, concrete, steel, a large amount of labor, materials needed for pre-construction, etc.

Qi Heng, who kept calculating in his mind and filling in the gaps, felt more and more that the feasibility of this project was very high.

However, thinking that Shi Caiying was about to rush to Shouchun to serve as the head of the Anfeng Road Governor's Office, Qi Heng said: "In this way, you continue to investigate to see if there are any factors that have not been calculated, and in addition, after completing the inspection, you write and draw up a big plan, and then deliver it to Zhou Nian." ”

"The details after that will be taken over by Zhou Nianlai."

Listening to Qi Heng's words, Shi Caiying was stunned.

"My lord, but what is wrong with my subordinates?"

Qi Heng heard Shi Caiying's doubts, and said with a smile: "You are about to leave here, and the rest of the matter can only be taken over by Zhou Nian." ”

Shi Caiying still didn't understand what he meant, but Qi Heng didn't say more.

Although the document has been reported to Zhu Yuanzhang, the specific result still needs Zhu Yuanzhang's final ruling.

So until the results come down, it's better not to say it yet.

Faced with Qi Heng's tricky words, Shi Caiying was a little confused.

And Qi Heng said to Xiu'er beside him at this time: "Xiu'er, let's go back." ”

Regardless of Shi Caiying's confusion at this time.

When Qi Heng returned to the mansion, Yu Guangdao also walked back with the paperwork, and when he saw Qi Heng, he immediately said, "My lord, the handsome man has already read and approved." ”

The result was not unexpected by Qi Heng, because the content on his documents was basically a logical thing, and there were not too many unexpected things.

Shi Caiying's promotion is almost everyone's consensus.

As for the establishment of the governor's palace and the choice of the city, it is not an accident.

Then, Qi Heng said directly: "Send the documents to the county government and hand them over to Shi Caiying to see, he can't sleep tonight in the province." ”

Yu Guangdao didn't quite understand the meaning of Qi Heng's words, but he still did what he ordered.

County Yazhong.

Just as Qi Heng guessed, Shi Caiying's whole mind was thinking about the meaning of Qi Heng's words just now.

It wasn't until Yu Guangdao arrived and handed him the contents of the document that he understood why Qi Heng said that he wanted Zhou Nianlai to take over.

The hanging heart finally fell.

However, thinking that such a grand project would be carried out in Haozhou next, Shi Caiying was really reluctant to leave.

Because he knows very well that if this project is completed, the entire northern part of Haozhou will completely become the economic center of the entire Anfeng Road.

Because this is the place with the richest, the most food, and the most people.

On the contrary, Shouchun went by himself, although it is the capital, it is a little unworthy of the name.

The most important thing is that once the project is completed, it will have a earth-shaking change to the entire Anfeng Road.

This is a real achievement, a political achievement!

It may even go down in history.

Because of the completion of this grain area, how many people will be saved from hunger.

If someone else told him about such a big project, Shi Caiying would only see it as a joke.

But this is Qi Heng after all......

Since he came to Huanggang City and served as the county magistrate of Huanggang City, what he has seen and seen is not a miracle.

For Qi Heng, he has developed a natural sense of trust.

Even if he told himself that he could get the moon down, he would seriously think about whether he was too short-sighted.

However, his biggest advantage is that he can see far away.

Although he was a little in the mood of being taken advantage of by Zhou Nian, when he thought that Zhou Nian was his best friend and that he had something to do next, he didn't think so much about it.

After all, everyone has their own place to play a valuable role.

There's no need to think about it.

On the contrary, he should think carefully about what he should do next as the head of the entire Anfeng Road.

Once this grain-producing area is really built, how should I cooperate with them, or prepare in advance.

For example, the construction of Caoyun.....

Also, once the plan goes bankrupt.

Next, how to solve the rations of more than 100,000 people in Haozhou City, the entire Huanggang City.

After all, with the grain stored in Huanggang City and this year's harvest, it is only enough to support about a year.

If all these laborers go to cultivate wasteland and build waterways and reservoirs.

The production of grain will definitely drop a lot.

Thinking of these, Shi Caiying also had a general idea of his next government affairs after going to Shouchun City.

In any case, food and population must be the most important and urgent issues to be addressed at the moment.

In addition, Shouchun City and Anfeng and Huoqiu in the southwest, because of the requisition and deployment of troops by the Tokh army, there was a great shortage of strong labor, and these things were all difficulties that hindered him from completing the direction of governance.

If these things can be resolved, and the cultivation work in these three places can be resumed in a short time, it may be possible to catch the autumn harvest before this year.

If things go well, it will be of great help to plan for next year's spring.
