Li Yu arranged the recruitment of displaced people and spring ploughing production in Nanyang, and Zhou Kuan and others were even busier than last year.

Last year's displaced people were all arranged in Nanyang, and this year they have to extend to Xiangcheng and Fangcheng.

The direction to the city is still to settle the displaced people along the direction of the water, and the Fangcheng is to settle along the blocked water.

This year, it is necessary not only to increase the installation of water trucks, but also to desilt the river.

Before the rainy season arrives in June, clean up the river in advance to prevent flooding.

At this time, Li Yucai really understood that it was really not easy to govern the place.

Fortunately, after a year of development, he has surplus grain, and now he has recovered Yinshaling and obtained more than 200,000 catties of refined copper inventory, which can temporarily alleviate the shortage of funds.

Silver Sand Ridge is now smelting copper again.

Among the new refugees, many young and strong men were resettled in Yinshaling and became a new generation of miners.

"Sima, Nanyang Public School should be run up, and Ling Zun's dream of lecturing can be realized."

"It's the lord."

Zhang's father and son have been in Nanyang for more than half a year, and the changes that have taken place here are in their eyes. Zhang Jun, in particular, is an old fox.

He could see at a glance that Li Yu's ambition was not small, and he didn't know if he had the idea of reaching the top, but he saw the ability to govern the local government.

It only took one year for Nanyang to change from a middle county of 5,000 households to a county of 10,000 households, and this is the change.

Li Yu's move to use money to collect grain made him refreshed.

This broke the long-term practice of relying on taxes to maintain finances in successive dynasties, and Nanyang did not collect taxes, but instead discounted funds to purchase grain in the hands of the people. It looks like a stupid move, but it has activated the economic vitality of the entire Nanyang and surrounding states and counties, and commerce and trade have prospered.

In particular, the counties of Dengzhou and Tangzhou have frequent trade with Nanyang.

Cloth, ironware, timber, furniture, pottery, livestock and grain from various counties were transported to Nanyang to exchange copper coins that were in short supply.

According to the scale of Nanyang coinage, it can produce about 20,000 yuan of Xiangzi Kaiyuan Tongbao every month, and can produce 240,000 yuan a year, which is equivalent to more than 30% of the amount of money produced in the jurisdiction of Jingxiang Jiedu.

After three years of recruitment, this year's recruitment of displaced people is much easier than last year's. Many homeless people go to call friends and friends, and more than 300 homeless people arrive in Nanyang every day.

The climax should be concentrated in May and June.

Now the displaced people from the Central Plains have become the mainstream, and there are even refugees from the Qingyan area.

As for Nanyang Public School, this is the result of a consultation between Zhang's father and son and Li Yu.

At the beginning, Zhang Jun planned to live in seclusion and lecture in order to promote his son, and in August and September last year, he organized a school outside Nanyang City, and Jingxiang students also came to visit, and Zhang Jun was extremely satisfied for a while.

Later, when he saw Li Yu's fanfare of Zhufang Chengguan, he also moved his mind to study office.

Li Yu is also very concerned about the education in Nanyang now, after all, there are thousands of dolls, and most of them pee and mud at home, so what can be the point?

So it hit it off, and this Nanyang Public School began to prepare.

On this day, Li Yuzheng was working in the national government in good spirits.

Wei Ai came in with a gloomy face.

"My lord, one of our sentries has been attacked."

“？”

"Weapons and ammunition are missing."

"What?"

Li Yu realized that this was not a simple incident of the attack on the sentry.

Fang Xing also hung his head and said, "Lord, it's my regiment of sentries on duty. ”

"Any clues?"

"Not yet."

"Judging by the loss of weapons and ammunition, this was specifically to get our weapons to attack the sentries."

"Oh? Why? Who cares about our weapons? ”

Li Yu closed his eyes and asked.

"Well, a lot of people are interested in our weapons, right?"

Fang Xing frowned and said.

"Passing Li Xiong and Fang Liang over, it seems that we are careless."

Since last year, when he was equipped with pistols and mine trucks in batches, although Li Yu strictly ordered the storage of weapons and ammunition, there was still a leak of secrets.

The loss of the weapon means that the secret has been leaked.

As long as it is carefully analyzed and studied by professionals, it is possible to imitate exactly the same thing.

It's annoying.

Before he competed with the world's heroes, he lost his only black technology weapon, and if he really leaked the secret, it would be a fatal blow to himself.

Soon, the main civil and military forces of the state government came.

"Tell me what you think about it."

The civil servants gasped when they figured out what was going on.

"Lord, this matter is serious, the weapon may not have left the country at this time, we must intercept it quickly."

Zhou Kuan said anxiously.

"According to common sense analysis, this person will quickly leave Nanyang and enter the Central Plains when he gets a weapon." Li Huaixian analyzed.

"Well, I'm in favor of it." Gao Shi stroked his beard and nodded.

"It may also go the other way, go south and detour to Huainan and then enter the Central Plains."

Wang Qian squinted and said.

Li Yu quickly thought of countermeasures in his brain.

Seeing that Wang Qian proposed another idea, he couldn't help but look at him twice.

In the past year, Wang Qian's performance has been remarkable and his wisdom is outstanding.

Li Yu also thought that this spy might have to play tricks, and it was impossible to go down so smoothly from people's train of thought.

He looked up at the generals.

"What do you guys think?"

Wei Ai shook his head and did not speak.

Fang Xing clenched his fists and said, "The lord has given an order, and everything is obeyed." ”

"The lord has given orders, and everything is obeyed!"

Fang Liang and Li Xiong both clenched their fists and said.

"Fang Liang, you have a lot of ghost ideas, you can talk about it."

"Well, my lord, it is said that there are many people who are interested in our weapons, and many feudal towns want to get them, but some people will not be of much use even if they get them, but if some people get them, they will be a great threat to me. Like what...... For example......"

"Like what?"

Li Yu looked at him, and although the others had guesses, they were still waiting for his answer.

"For example, the Central Plains ......"

Although Huozi Fang Liang didn't say it directly, everyone present knew who he was talking about.

This is also what Li Yu is most worried about.

"Fang Liang, your sentry camp is all cavalry, the speed is fast, each send two teams to Wuguan, Luyang Pass and Fangcheng Pass, strictly guard to the death, carefully check the passing personnel and chariots and horses, there must be no mistakes."

"Yes."

Fang Liang stumbled out of the lobby and gave the order.

"Fang Xing, send people to enter Tongbai County in Tangzhou quickly, strictly prevent people from entering the Central Plains from Huaishui, and strictly check people and ships."

"Li Xiong, send people to Suizhou and Guanghua to prevent anyone from entering Huainan Road from the water (yún)."

"The history of the perimeter, Nanyang, Xiangcheng, and Fangcheng must be strictly investigated."

"Yes, my lord."

"Master Wang, go to the nearby states and counties to assist in checking the letters, and if you find suspicious people, you will immediately detain them."

"Yes."

Everyone retired one after another and went to decorate.

Wei Ai withdrew in embarrassment, and Li Yu didn't say anything.

Wei Ai's status is said to be Li Yu's confidant, but as a deputy pawn, he was arranged by Li Yu to lead the barbarians.

Now the barbarians were also arranged to guard the pass, Jingxiang's 5,000 soldiers were handed over to Zhou Wu, and the barbarian soldiers were handed over to Wei Ai.

Wei Ai is equivalent to being excluded from the inner circle in disguise, how uncomfortable he thinks.

This time to chase down the spies, Li Yu did not arrange a task for him, he could only return to Fangchengguan to guard.

Li Yu's mood was extremely irritable.

In order not to pass on these emotions to the princess in the backyard, he asked people to spread the word, saying that he had something urgent to go to Xiangyang, so that they should not worry.

So he took the guards and rode fast horses to Xiangyang by land.

The speed of the waterway is slow, it takes three days. Riding a horse by land is fast, and you can reach it in one day and one night.

In order to be in a hurry, Li Yuyi did not remove his armor, his horse did not remove his saddle, and he even dealt with it on the horse.

A group of dozens of people traveled under the stars and nights. Early the next morning, I came to the city of Xiangyang.

As soon as the city gate opened, Li Yu hit his horse into the city and went straight to Jiedu Mansion.

For Li Yu, who suddenly appeared early in the morning, Zhao Kuangning was taken aback.

"Son-in-law, why are you here?"

"Father-in-law, something happened."

Li Yu explained the reason for the incident, and asked his father-in-law to send troops to strictly check the personnel, carriages, horses, and ships at the city gates and docks.

All of a sudden, Xiangyang chickens flew and dogs jumped.

For the sake of insurance, Zhao Kuangning sent people to set up cards on major roads in various states to check pedestrians.

Yuexiang restaurant in Xiangyang City.

The restaurant owner was anxiously pacing back and forth.

"Oh, it's broken, they're too quick to react, and they've already set up cards at the gates."

"Lao Hu, if it doesn't work, I'll stay in the city for a few more days, and then leave when they are relaxed."

"No, no. In case something happens to you, our entire Yuexiang Building will be finished. ”

"What then?"

"In this way, you leave the things behind, go first, and when the wind passes, I will send someone to send the things back."

"Uh......"

"What? Are you afraid that I will rob you of your credit? ”

"Uh, that's not it, this credit is not mine, it's C-numbered, and no one can take away his credit."

"Tsk, too."

"I'm worried that if I lose this thing, it will be a big deal, but I can't do it, I go out over the wall at night."

"Then let's wait."

As he spoke, dozens of soldiers walked into the hall.

"Is the boss there? Find to talk. ”

"Uh, wait a minute." When the man saw that he was a soldier, he quickly agreed, turned around and ran to the back hall.

Lao Hu heard the sound of talking outside from the bamboo tube on the wall, and knew that the searching soldiers were coming, so he got up and lifted the curtain, pushed open a door, and signaled inside, and the burly man walked in with the package on his back.

Lao Hu closed the door and walked out.

Behind him, a cabinet clicked over, blocking the place.

On the same day, Xiangyang City strictly checked the household registration, and the business travelers were sieved one by one. There is a curfew in the whole city at night to prevent suspicious people.

Li Yu slept until midnight and was suddenly woken up by the guards.

"Lord, someone climbed over the city wall and was caught."

"Huh? Go and have a look. ”
