Chapter 154: Happiness

Zhou Hang even thought that one day he would be able to go to Beichen, and it was no secret that Beichen was rich and rich in Western Zhou. He wanted to bring the culture of Beichen to Pingxing City, and he also thought about bringing fruit and vegetable seeds from Beichen that were not available in the Western Zhou Dynasty to see if they could be planted in the fields on the edge of the oasis.

If he had retired as prefect because of this battle, he might have really regretted his death, after all, he had not yet found a chance to implement those ideas.

Now, Rong Chengxuan asked him to continue to serve as the prefect of Pingxing City, Zhou Hang was so happy that he burst into tears, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Rong Chengxuan three times without saying a word.

He didn't make any promises, nor did he say anything beautiful, but only said to Rong Chengxuan: "Prince An, please give me half a year, this half year is the assessment period given to me by the prince at that time, and when the time limit for half a year comes, if the prince thinks that I am not suitable for this position, then the prince will replace me again, and I will definitely not be dissatisfied." ”

Rong Chengxuan nodded, didn't say anything, it was considered to have agreed to Zhou Hang's proposal, but in fact, he had already decided in his heart that the prefect of Pingxing City, except for Zhou Hang, there was no more suitable person than him.

He has always been very accurate in his view of people, and Zhou Hang is an official who thinks about the people. It is difficult to find a few officials like this in Beichen, and he is relieved to hand over Pingxing City to Zhou Hang. Rong Chengxuan just told Zhou Hang to work hard, so he took Yun Wanwan's hand and scattered around the oasis.

Since Yun Wanwan came to the desert, Rong Chengxuan has rarely spent time alone with Yun Wanwan like this. Zhou Hang didn't follow anymore, he had much more vision than the soldiers in Rong Chengxuan's hands, and he didn't want to be a light bulb to ask Rong Chengxuan for anything.

Zhou Hang watched from a distance as the two of them wore the same style of white clothes, walking by the lake in Pingxing City, occasionally laughing and playing, but most of the time it was the princess who made trouble again, and the prince watched again. It's just that when the princess is too naughty, the prince will speak out to stop some of her behaviors.

The princess was too tired in the back, so she simply let the princess carry her and walk slowly along the lake, even so, I didn't see how safe the princess was, and it was still noisy on the back of the princess.

Looking at Prince An and his princess, a sense of happiness was born from Zhou Hang's heart, probably through the two of them, which reminded him of the scene when he first met his wife at home, and suddenly felt that Pingxing City should have a better life under the rule of Beichen in the future than under the rule of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

When Yun Wanwan was completely troubled, she directed Rong Chengxuan on Rong Chengxuan's back to find a quiet corner by the lake, and asked Rong Chengxuan to put her down there, and then led Rong Chengxuan to sit down in that place.

The two of them sat there like this, and from a distance they could see that the soldiers were still tidying up the fields on the edge of the oasis, and some were directing the clean-up of the city, and gradually the people joined in.

The people of Pingxing City did not have any resistance to the people of Rong Chengxuan's army, and they talked and laughed with them, not at all like a big battle had just ended, and the city had just changed hands, and even the people invited those soldiers to go back to their homes for dinner at noon.

It's just that those soldiers couldn't eat the food of the people in the city for nothing because they had military regulations, and finally refused the kind invitation of the people of Pingxing City.

However, people all carefully avoided the place where Rong Chengxuan and Yun Wanwan were sitting, leaving enough space for the two to talk, and they all knew that the news of Prince An and Princess An's wedding had spread from the front line to the Western Zhou Dynasty to attack Beichen.

also knows that in the past few months, they must have gathered less and left more, so they have to be interesting and give the little couple some space for themselves.

And Yun Wanwan does have a lot of things to say to Rong Chengxuan, such as the things that have been thinking about her in the past few days, "Rong Chengxuan, the more you fight in the back city, the more serious the heat stroke that the soldiers may have, what if they all fall down in the end?" ”

Yun Wanwan's worry is not unreasonable, now that they have only attacked the third city of the Western Zhou Dynasty, almost half of the soldiers have already suffered from heat stroke. No matter how they overcome, their degree of adaptation to this hot climate in the desert is still not as good as that of the Western Zhou people, who were born and raised in the desert.

Although they are now fighting quickly and can capture a city in less than an hour, it is a big problem to do the follow-up aftermath well. Grenades, gunpowder, bombs, and mines are naturally good, but they are also very destructive.

Therefore, every time he conquered a city, Rong Chengxuan stayed in that city for so long, firstly, to wait for the soldiers to adapt to the climate and alleviate the heat stroke, and secondly, to repair the walls and damaged streets that they destroyed during the siege in the city.

Not to mention that the first two cities in the desert have not been repaired, even the cities in the frontier that were captured by the Western Zhou people and captured by Rong Chengxuan and brought back by Rong Chengxuan still have not been completed.

There were no people in those cities, and when they had just gotten grenades, gunpowder, and bombs, it was when the soldiers of the Shenhuo Battalion were excited, so the bombings were more unscrupulous than now, and they were not light or heavy when they were attacked.

Rong Chengxuan thought about it, what Yun Wanwan said was to start thinking about the serious problem of heat stroke first, which is indeed the biggest problem at present. However, this problem is also the most difficult to solve, no matter how the innate conditions are, they are also there. There can't be any miracle medicine, so that after they eat it, they suddenly become not afraid of getting hot.

In the end, Yun Wanwan made a proposal, "Why don't we go back to Daxing City first?" I've got some grenades over there that haven't been ready, and it's a hassle to have someone send them in. ”

Rong Chengxuan had no objection to this, and the two discussed that they would set off in three days, go back to Daxing City first, and let Yun Wanwan finish the unfinished grenade mines first. These weapons are consumables, and they are in great demand, and no one will do them anymore except after Yun Wanwan.

Yun Wanwan has always been cautious, how to make grenade mines, she didn't even tell Rong Chengxuan, and she didn't write down the method on paper. So she is the only one who knows this in this era, and if she dies, then this secret will also be taken underground by her.

The two stayed in Pingxing City for another three days, and in the early morning of the fourth day, they left Pingxing City with their respective retinues and a small team, and returned to Daxing City.
