Chapter 622: Plan Ahead
In the matter of Wei Xiang, Wu Nian was originally full of confidence.
As long as this is an unmarried man in Yingqing Mansion and Guangchuan Mansion, it is easy to say. Even if Wei Xiang likes someone in Shangnanhai Mansion, he can send troops to grab it.
But this matter actually involved him.
Wu Nian was also out of shape for a while, and he didn't know what to do. Pity him on horseback, slaying the enemy chieftain with a spear, like a bag to get something.
But when it comes to the relationship between children and daughters, he has a black eye.
Wu Nian thought about it for a long time, and could only use the procrastination trick. For Wei Hong's side, Wu Nian had no follow-up. As for Wei Xiang's side, of course, he didn't let the Wu family test it again.
Paste the window paper, do not pierce it, and maintain the original state.
Fortunately, in addition to this incident, all kinds of civil and military affairs in Yingqing Mansion and Guangchuan Mansion are developing steadily.
At present, the defense areas of the lieutenants have not yet been replaced. Huang Hu and Guan Jinhan retook over the old department, promoted their subordinates as appropriate, and accepted some new recruits, forming a force of 20,000 households, which is being trained.
With the help of disabled officers, Li Tianbao studied and trained the navy, and the warships also went to sea like dumplings one after another.
This is not one of the ships that Li Tianbao and the pirates put together, but a regular warship.
Not to mention anything else, the materials used are full, and the style of the warship is also unified. After hanging the flag, it rode the wind and waves on the sea, which was very imposing.
After all, a regular army is different from a ragtag army.
The captains of various ministries are also training elite soldiers and do not dare to slack off. The newly acquired two county towns of Gwangcheon Prefecture were also received smoothly without any mistakes.
The twelve castles of Yeeongyeongfu and Gwangcheon are like a big ship sailing smoothly, and they are steadily heading towards their destination.
But in the midst of harmony, there is some disharmony.
General Fuhan's Mansion, in the backyard.
Wu Nian and Liu Xiang sat in the gazebo, with a cook roasting whole sheep next to them. Golden roast lamb with a rich aroma.
Wu Nian was indeed hungry, and he couldn't stand it when he smelled this fragrance, but the roast sheep was not yet good. He could only let the maid go down and get some pastries to eat.
"Xiang'er." Wu Nian pinched up a piece of osmanthus cake and handed it to Liu Xiang. Liu Xiang didn't answer, but looked at the sky blankly.
"What's going on?! You've been sullen for the past few days. Wu Nian put down the osmanthus cake, reached out to hold Liu Xiang's little hand, and said with concern.
Her hands were originally rough, but they have been pampered over the years, but they have also become white and tender, and they are so comfortable to hold. It's just that she just gave birth to a son, and her blood is insufficient, and her hands are a little cold.
"Brother. I'm a little worried. Liu Xiang slowly lowered her head and looked at Wu Nian levelly, with a worried look on her little face.
"Worried about what?" Wu Nian asked strangely.
He is in charge of this war. The thing about the inner house, the willow incense tube. And there are Wu and Wang Ruyan to help her. Some eat, some wear, and some live, what are you worried about?
"As the saying goes. Ruixue Trillion Year. These years have been smooth and rainy, and the amount of snow every year is not small. But there hasn't been a lot of snow this year. I don't know if there will be enough rain next year. Liu Xiang sighed and said.
"Huh?!" Wu Nian wanted to laugh, but soon his face became solemn. Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, who figured out the twenty-four solar terms very early.
It is used to explain the laws of the movement of heaven and earth. People everywhere cultivated their fields at a certain time, planted crops, and waited for the grain to be harvested.
And the Ruixue Mega Year looks like it's just a hope for next year. But there is also a certain scientific basis.
Don't look at Liu Xiang as young, but because he was born as a farmer, he is a master of farming. She watched more than two dozen winters.
If there is a lot of snow at the end of each year, the probability of a bumper harvest the following year is high, and vice versa.
That's why I'm depressed these days.
And six years have passed since he crossed over. This place in Liaodong has a bumper harvest every year. Is it really about booming and declining?
After the flying dragon is in the sky, is Kanglong regretful?
Of course, it is also possible that it is a crow's beak.
But we have to guard against it.
The reason why people are human beings is that they can maintain the flying dragon in the sky.
As soon as he thought of this, Wu Nian couldn't sit still, stood up, turned around and ran.
"Brother. Where are you going? The sheep are almost ready. Liu Xiang reacted, stood up, and asked loudly.
"Eat it yourself. By the way, call the sisters to eat together. Don't call Zhang Zhen, he doesn't have enough to eat. I have something. ”
Although Wu Nianren left, the voice came back.
"Hopefully I'm overthinking." Liu Xiang sighed, then adjusted her mood, and her little face showed a happy look again.
"Eat the sheep. Ladies and misses. Liu Xiang raised her head and said to the maid beside her.
"Yes." The maidservant answered, and immediately went down.
Wu Nian walked out of the backyard first, and then walked along the corridor to the hall. and sent people to invite Liu Zhixing, Li Yong, Wang Youxiao, and Zhang Haiping to meet.
Except for the prefect Zhang Haiping, who worked in the government office, the other three all worked in General Fuhan. Therefore, the three of them arrived first, and Zhang Haiping arrived the latest.
"General." After Zhang Haiping came in, he clasped his fists and saluted Wu Nian.
"Sit." Wu Nian asked him to sit down. Then he looked up at the four of them and said, "I just told me. In the year of Ruixue Zhaofeng, I thought about whether there would be problems in agriculture next year. Although it is a bit ridiculous, it is also the wisdom of the ancients to plan ahead. ”
"So I'm talking to you about it."
The four of them all showed surprise when they heard this, and they really didn't expect that Wu Nian summoned them over for a sentence of Ruixue Zhaofeng New Year, and a sentence of taking precautions.
Although Li Yong is Wu Nian's brother, he is old enough to be Wu Nian and Liu Xiang's parents. He grew up watching Liu Xiang.
He is also a good farmer.
"The general is right. Ruixue Trillion Year. And this year there is a little less snow under it. I think I can release the news and buy some grain from Goguryeo and Fuso. ”
He didn't think much about it, but after Wu Nianyi's reminder, an old face also showed a dignified look, and nodded and said.
Now Wu Nian is directly hostile to the state of Chu. The state of Chu has blocked the sea, and there is a large-scale ban on merchant ships going to sea, although there are still smuggling merchants, but the number of merchants of the Chu state who come to Liaodong has greatly decreased.
It's not as good as Goguryeo merchants and Fusang merchants.
"No matter what. The more food, the better. And as our copper and silver business with the Kyogoku family continues. Our finances are also a little broader. Other expenditures can be reduced and food can be purchased exclusively. For a rainy day. ”
Liu Zhixing himself is also a good farmer, and nodded when he heard the words.
Wang Youxiao and Zhang Haiping didn't understand much, so they didn't interject next to them.
"Hmm. Then it's decided. Wu Nian nodded and said. Soon after, the four of them went down. Wu Nian let out a sigh of relief, stood up and walked to the door, standing with his hands in his hands, looking ahead, his face showing worry.
Hopefully, it's too much to worry about.
Although take precautions.
But if there is a real food harvest, it will be a huge blow to him.
He raised more than 100,000 soldiers, and he was reckless. Although the combat effectiveness is strong, the logistics blood tank is weak, which is a huge hidden danger.
