The New Year's holiday seems to be very long, but when you really live it, you feel that time flies, and before you know it, half a month's holiday will pass in a flash.

After the fifteenth day of the first month, all the prefectures and offices began to be on duty, spring is coming, and the most important spring ploughing season of the year is coming soon.

In this era, grain production is a duty greater than heaven, Jiang Wei did not dare to slack off, and instructed Yang Yi to urge all localities to speed up spring ploughing. The winter snow is about to melt, and it is necessary to seize the opportunity to dredge the ditches and cultivate the land in preparation for the spring sowing of wheat.

Since the land division movement was promoted in Liangzhou, the enthusiasm of the vast number of soldiers and civilians for reclamation has been unprecedentedly high, and all parts of Liangzhou are full of busy farming.

The snow and ice have not completely melted, but the fields everywhere are in full swing.

Jiang Wei had always been curious, why the population was so small in ancient times, and there were often famines, was it really because the farmers were not industrious enough? Now I have crossed over and found that it is really not, the farmers are very hardworking and very hard-working, but this era is indeed an era of relying on the sky to eat.

How to solve the problem of climate, Jiang Wei can think of the best way, is to build water conservancy, only when water conservancy is properly built, can drought watering, waterlogging can be drained, and the impact of climate on agriculture can be minimized.

In addition, Jiang Wei with the current level of science and technology, Jiang Wei is basically impossible to make chemical fertilizer, but the farm fertilizer is easy to achieve, especially all kinds of fertilizer cake and distiller's grains, sugar residue, bean dregs, oil residue and other farm fertilizers with high ammonia content, the fertility is excellent.

Jiang Wei specially ordered Yang Yi to collect this kind of farm fertilizer, this kind of thing is cheap, but it is used for land fertilization, and the effect is excellent, so Jiang Wei allocated a sum of money to Yang Yi to raise this kind of materials.

After all, Jiang Wei now has a copper mountain, and he is so rich that he is not short of money at all.

With the promotion of Jiang Weitun's reclamation, a large amount of barren land in Liangzhou has been reclaimed, Yang Yi has made a statistic, but there are more than 10,000 hectares of land abandoned and reclaimed, which shows how much a good policy can stimulate the production enthusiasm of farmers.

Unconsciously, a month of time passed in a hurry, and in a blink of an eye it was the end of February, and the time for spring sowing arrived, Jiang Wei personally went to the field to participate in sowing, which greatly stimulated the production enthusiasm of the military and civilians, and the entire Liangzhou plus the land of Longxi sowed a large number of wheat, beans, corn and other crops.

At the same time that the whole Liangzhou was in full swing, Chengdu sent Fei Yi to bring an official document, and the emperor Liu Chan officially established the post of governor of Yongliang of the Han Dynasty, and appointed Jiang Wei as the governor of Yongliang, the governor of Yongliang soldiers and horses, and all Yongliang soldiers and horses for two weeks were under Jiang Wei's control.

Since then, in addition to the Governor of Hanzhong, the Governor of Yong'an, the Governor of Jiangzhou, and the Governor of Yuzhen, the Han Dynasty has had a fifth Governor.

Moreover, Jiang Wei, the governor, controls the most troops except for Wang Ping, the governor of Hanzhong.

By the way, Jiang Wei learned more about the current trends of various countries from Fei Yi.

Among them, on the Wei side, Yongzhou Guo Huai has been standing still, and Jiang Wei is the most clear. Sima Yi had already led his army to Beiping, and it was expected that a campaign against Gongsun Yuan would be launched in March, and Wen Ping had also been sent to confront Lu Xun of Jiangling of Wu State in the south, and Yangzhou was confronted by Wen Qin and Eastern Wu, both sides of which were still calm.

But all kinds of scout wars, skirmishes have intensified, and the Wei-Wu border seems to be on the verge of a major battle at any time.

After learning about the situation of various countries from Fei Yi, Fei Yi also handed Jiang Wei a handwritten letter from Liu Chan.

In the letter, Liu Chan missed Jiang Wei very much, and at the same time expressed his great happiness that Jiang Wei supported him in the early stage of the Northern Expedition. I hope that Jiang Wei can start the Northern Expedition this year and realize the prosperity of the Han Dynasty as soon as possible.

After reading the letter, Jiang Wei replied to Emperor Liu Chan very unceremoniously.

Since Emperor Liu Chan opened the golden mouth, if he twisted and pinched, he would look stingy, so Jiang Wei asked Liu Chan for two people: Zhang Xue and Liang Qian.

Zhang Xu's 5,000 Wudang Fei Army, when he made a great contribution in the conquest of Jiaozhou, now there is no war in Jiaozhou, his side is about to launch a large-scale offensive against Wei, Yongzhou is mountainous, it is the place where Wudang Fei Army comes in, since it is necessary to fight with Cao Wei, it is natural to concentrate all the forces that can be concentrated, with the determination to fight a decisive battle with Wei.

Liang Qian has been operating the Panzhihua Iron Mine, and now the Panzhihua Iron Mine is on the right track, Liang Qian has written to Jiang Wei many times, hoping to return to the battlefield, Jiang Wei knows that Liang Qian wants to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield, rather than being a blacksmith leader every day, so he proposed to ask Dong Yun to take over the management of the Panzhihua Iron Mine, so that Liang Qian, a brother who followed him all the way from Tianshui, also had almost meritorious service.

In addition, Hua Wei has always felt that the two thousand Nanban soldiers under his command are too few, and hopes to bring more Nanzhong disciples out to fight and make meritorious contributions, so Jiang Wei also has the intention to let Liang Qian help Hua Hu from Nanzhong to bring another three thousand Nanban elites to the north to further strengthen the strength of Hua Mane.

Considering that the Wudu is still in the hands of Cao Zhi, Jiang Wei suggested that Zhang Xue and Liang Qian could first go north and garrison troops in Hanzhong, and then send troops from Hanzhong to attack Wudu and strive for a war to determine Wudu.

Fei Yi accepted Jiang Wei's letter and asked Jiang Wei:

"Boyo, I have come this time, and Your Majesty has asked you what are your plans regarding the Northern Expedition? Now the calls for the generals of the DPRK and China to participate in the Northern Expedition are getting louder and louder, especially Wei Yan, Wei Yan advocates staying in Yong'an is a waste of time, Han and Wu form an alliance, Wu will never attack Yong'an, and he also wants to lead troops to the Northern Expedition. ”

Jiang Wei thought for a while and said: "I am still formulating a specific combat strategy, but after Wen Wei goes back, I can tell His Majesty one thing, that is, this year is different from previous years, once the war starts, it will be a huge national war, and we must make all kinds of offensive momentum, so that the border of Wei will be attacked everywhere." ”

When Fei Yi heard that Jiang Wei had such a big plan, it was completely a way to fight the battle of the country, although he knew that Liangzhou Tun had a lot of military rations, but he was still a little worried. So he said:

"If we attack everywhere, how can our country have so many troops of food and grass?"

Jiang Wei said with a smile: "After Wen Wei goes back, you can tell Your Majesty that you might as well send Deng Zhi to Wu State, make an appointment with Wu State, and attack Wei State together at the end of March. ”

In fact, in Jiang Wei's heart, after the start of the war, he even thought about asking the countries of the Western Regions to send troops to help, but later he felt that the countries of the Western Regions had too few troops, and coming would only make his army more mixed and inconvenient to manage, so he gave up this idea.

After listening to Jiang Wei's words, Fei Yi also felt excited, and asked Jiang Wei: "Boyo, do you think we have a chance to fight Tongguan this year?" ”

Jiang Wei heard Fei Yi ask this, and immediately laughed dumbly.

"Wen Wei, you look down on my Han Army too much! What is Tongguan? To tell you the truth, the goal of our army this year is not only to fight to Tongguan, but also to capture Chang'an and let my Han return to his hometown! ”
