Chapter 822: Hillside Sheep Eight
March 3 of that year.
On the shore of the painting screen lake in Guangling City, there is a smoke and rain pavilion.
Some things seem to be predestined in the dark.
Ning Chuchu, the fourth princess who originally stayed in Kyoto's Yujing City, because she learned the news that the Northern Desert Desolate people were gathering troops to attack Jiuyin City, she reported it to her father, the Zhaohua Emperor who cultivated the Tao, but she didn't see her father make any moves!
This made her sad and disappointed.
It happened that I heard that Zhongli Ruoshui was going to choose a son-in-law in Huaping Lake on the third day of March.
So, she went to Guangling City.
One is to scatter the mind, stay away from Kyoto, out of sight and out of mind.
Second, I don't understand why Zhongli Ruoshui would come up with a son-in-law with a text.
With Miss Zhongli's appearance and talent, with the strength of Zhongli Mansion, those young men in Kyoto, she can choose whichever one she wants.
But she just made such a show.
So I went to Guangling City.
On that day, I went to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion on the shore of the Picture Screen Lake.
I met that person by chance.
Ning Chuchu lifted his sleeves and wiped the tears on his face, smiling even more.
"There is a dust in the eyes and the world is narrow,
There is nothing in the chest, a bed is ...... wide."
"You have nothing to do in your chest, you can live happily in the tavern under the banyan tree for the rest of your life!"
"But now ......"
Ning Chuchu bit her lip, and her youngest daughter's posture naturally revealed, "You're going back to be the emperor, and you can't finish doing it in your chest!" ”
"Will your bed be wider?"
The paper kite on the side listened, "Your Highness, the slave and maid are thinking...... Your Highness had better go back early! ”
"Why?"
"That...... I heard Tianshu say that he returned from Wu and had four women by his side! ”
"If you're too late...... The slave was worried about his bed...... I'm afraid it's not wide enough! ”
Ning Chuchu was stunned, this guy, in addition to Zhongli Ruoshui and Sister Xiao, which two did he hook up with?
Her face was grim and she gritted her teeth:
"I'm a weed, and I have no intention of fighting for spring...... I think you're a wildflower! ”
"A flower that attracts bees and butterflies!"
"No, I really went back earlier......"
"Paper kite, pass my order, and the team will leave after repairing and set off to fetch the fat sheep...... Home! ”
When Yuwengu led the second eagle to this small village, he saw the herdsmen with no faces.
And also...... Cattle and sheep bones in a land.
There was still a little soup left in the pot.
The soup is cold.
The ashes in the stove are also cold.
He stood in front of the group of herdsmen with a horsewhip and asked with a gloomy face:
"They...... Where did it go? ”
"Heading southwest, it's probably Yes, It's Yedu Ranch!"
"How long have you been gone?"
"An hour or so."
Yuwen Gu looked up at the blue sky, turned around, got on his horse, flicked the long whip in his hand, and let out a "Bang!" A loud bang:
"Chase ...... General Ben!"
In the vast grasslands of Nanxi Prefecture, eagles are hunting mice.
But he couldn't hunt it after all.
When Yuwen Gu rushed to Yedu Ranch, he saw a scene full of chaos!
Many people died in the ranch.
War horses in the pasture...... Not even a single horse cub is left!
Nor is there a single live mouth.
This damn rat...... Where did they go?
Ning Chuchu led more than 700 girls from Ning Xiu, driving more than 10,000 horses, and was galloping towards Death Valley!
The road is dangerous.
But this road is the closest to Ningguo!
After passing through the Valley of Death, it is the Youzhou of Ningguo.
In Youzhou, there is a city called Yanjing!
……
……
The third day of the seventh month of the twenty-fifth year of Zhaohua.
Li Chenan and his entourage left Wuyaguan and came to the Yudan River Plain.
He came with Yan Jinong.
This made Yan Jinong quite puzzled, and also made Qiu Balou a little puzzled.
After arriving at the Yudan River, Li Chen'an got out of the carriage, Yan Jinong came to Li Chen'an's side, and after a look at the eighth floor of Qiu, he also walked over.
Li Chen'an pointed to the abandoned fields on both sides of the river, "When the Yong Kingdom existed, the Yudan River Plain was the most important grain producing place in the Yong Kingdom!" ”
"There are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land here, but now there are only a thousand acres of cultivated land."
"It's a waste......!"
Yan Jinong was stunned for a moment, thinking that I am a general guarding the pass, shouldn't you go to Kyoto to handle the matter of farming?
"It's a waste, but no one!"
Yan Jinong was also very distressed, and said: "This place is too close to Wu Kingdom, and there are many ...... left after the destruction of Yong. ”
"For example, the bandits of the Yong Kingdom, and the rebels who want to restore, which has caused the place to remain in turmoil. And the people who originally lived here were either harassed by those bandits, or they were arrested and became strong men, and some dragged their families and ran away. ”
"I ran away and never came back."
"This 10,000 hectares of fertile land has been wasted."
Li Chenan nodded, suddenly looked at Yan Jinong, and said:
"I have an idea to hear from you."
"Regent, please!"
Li Chen'an pondered for a moment and said: "Wu and Ning have formed an alliance, Wuyaguan is open and closed, and the Red Flame Army now has 60,000 ......."
"I'm thinking that judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for Wu and Ning to start a war again in the short term."
"So, can we use these soldiers to reclaim these fields?"
Yan Jinong was taken aback, soldiers are soldiers, and the people are people, and this will be a soldier as a civilian ...... Something seems wrong.
But what Li Chenan said also makes sense.
This boundless pass was originally an extremely important military fortress, but now the relationship between the two countries has changed from hostility to friendship.
Then withdrawing half of the 60,000 Red Flame Army to reclaim land seems to be the best way to solve the current problem of abandoning 10,000 acres of fertile land.
Qiu Balou, who was standing behind Li Chen'an, widened his eyes at this moment, and his heart was even more shocked than Yan Jinong-
The regent came out of the Forgotten Table, and met with Emperor Wu at the Xijian Tower, and the friendship between the two countries was formed, and the two countries were open to the policy of trade between the two countries.
Marry Wu Qin, the fifth princess of Wu Kingdom, as his wife!
In this way, the border between the two countries is no longer tense, and the role of the border army is diluted.
From soldiers to civilians, put down the knife in his hand, and pick up a hoe, Ningguo does not need to carry out large-scale immigration, and can turn this 10,000 hectares of barren land into fertile land on the spot......
This strategy is like a stroke of genius!
Yan Jinong nodded: "That...... Half of the Red Flame Army disarmed and returned to the field! ”
"No!"
Li Chenan waved his hand, "My idea is to establish the Yudan River Construction Corps...... Farm when you're busy, train when you're free! ”
"When they retire, if they want to stay, they can settle on the spot, allocate land to them, and let them marry and have children here."
"What do you think?"
This is a groundbreaking strategy!
In this way, this fertile field will not only produce a lot of food, but these soldiers who farm still have strong combat effectiveness!
After retiring, the fields were allocated to them, which gave the people on this land roots, and then they continued to grow!
Yan Jinong was greatly impressed and bowed: "Minister, obey!" ”
He used the word minister!
It was he who was convinced of the soon-to-be-ascended emperor!
When Qiu Balou looked at this barren and grassy plain again, he seemed to see the golden harvest scene of the wind blowing the rice waves.
He now knew that this regent was not just a poet, he was really talented in governing the country!
"Then it's decided, you do this first, and when you return to Kyoto, I'll ask the Tobe and the military department to issue a document......"
Before Li Chen'an's words fell, a horse galloped over.
"Regent ......"
"Imperial City Division Urgent!"
