Zhang Xi's excuse is quite reliable, the etiquette system is a thing, ordinary people can be accommodating, but the official eunuch's house, if it can be complied with, it still has to be observed, and Xiao Xuan'er can't come to Zhang Xi to protest because of this, at most, it is to give his father a few blank eyes, and a little coaxing will be fooled for the time being.

Moreover, it is impossible for Zhang Xi to stay at home with his wife and children all the time, he also has something to do.

Today's Yongzhou is far from being politically fluent, and no one can do it to govern a huge state like this in one year.

Not to mention, today's Yongzhou, located on the border of Wei and Han, the two most critical checkpoints, Tongguan and Wuguan, are not in hand, and there are too many things to do.

The Youfufeng area is close to Wuguan, and the defense of Wuguan is relatively simple.

After all, there is a long Wuguan Road as the only passage in and out of Wuguan, and the defense of the right Fufeng only needs to build a Wubao defense near the exit of the Wuguan Road, and the heavy troops can basically ensure the defense needs of the right Fufeng.

As for the construction of Wu Fort, isn't it cement?

It is not difficult to establish a group of cement fortifications at the Baochuan crossing and reproduce a wave at the Wuguan crossing.

Moreover, the establishment of a cement fortification group at the Wuguan crossing does not have to worry too much about the loss of cement to the Wei State. The level of cement technology in these years is far from reaching the level of later generations, and it is not easy to preserve, once the rainy day is encountered in the transportation process, at least half of the cement can not support Yongzhou, even if it is transported to Yongzhou, it must be used immediately, a little longer, the cement will be damp and agglomerate.

Therefore, the cement transported from Qiqi County to Yongzhou must be used immediately, and limited by the difficulties of transportation along the way, the amount that can be used is not much, coupled with Zhuge Liang's fine scheduling in Chengdu, the amount of cement is strictly controlled, and it can only be said that it is barely enough.

Of course, it is inevitable that a small part of the cement will flow to the Wei State, but that amount will not play a decisive role.

As for whether Cao Wei's craftsmen will be allowed to reproduce cement, Zhang Xi is really not worried.

Cement, don't look at it, it's not difficult to manufacture, but technology is like this, sometimes if a piece of window paper is not pierced, even if it takes a few hundred years, you can't get this thing.

As for the secret recipe for the manufacture of cement, this thing is the secret of the Han royal family, the formula is in the hands of the royal family, and the entire cement yard in Qiqi County is all under the control of the royal family.

In fact, it is also the case, Cao Wei began to send a large number of capable and meticulous workers to Shu to explore the cement production formula from the time when Cao Ren guarded Chang'an, and now he has withdrawn from Guanzhong, and has lost nearly 100 people in the middle.

However, through continuous smuggling through various channels over the years, Cao Wei collected more than 3,000 catties of cement, and removed some of the cement that could not be used because it was expired, and half of the cement was transferred to Tongguan by Cao Pi to strengthen the defense of Tongguan.

In the end, Cao Pi knows what is important and what is not.

All in all, Liu Yin is in charge of the defense in the Youfufeng area, and Wu Fort is being built along the exit of Wuguan Road step by step, and troops are stationed in the garrison, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.

The real trouble is Zuo Fengyi.

Zuo Fengyi's Taishou is Hu Zun. To be honest, letting Hu Zun serve as the Taishou of Zuo Feng Yi County is more out of the consideration of stabilizing the local family, who let Hu Zun's stable Hu family have always had a good relationship with the Zuo Feng Yi family.

What is Hu Zun's true ability, the current Zhang Xi has not seen it with his own eyes, but he only knows that this person is also a famous figure in history, and it should not be too bad.

Actually, according to Zhang Xi's true thoughts, he wanted to transfer Hao Zhao, who was guarding Shangqi, to Zuo Fengyi and serve as the Taishou of Zuo Fengyi.

Today's Shangtai is no longer the front line, and it is a bit of a waste to put a general like Hao Zhao, who is good at defense, in Shangti, and he was transferred to Zuo Fengyi, just to deal with the current situation.

Left Feng Yi Hao Zhao, right Fu Feng Liu Yin. It was Cao Zhen and Guo Huai who led the army back, and Zhang Xi believed that these two people could hold these two places.

Just kidding, can Cao Zhen and Guo Huai be more powerful than Zhuge Liang and Zhong Hui?!

But it's a pity that Hao Zhao is a demoted general, and he has not been in the Han Dynasty for a long time, Liu Bei's appointment of Hao Zhao as the general of Shangqi has been regarded as an exceptional promotion, and now he is suddenly made to serve as Zuo Fengyi's Taishou His qualifications are too shallow, and he does not have the support of the local family, so it is difficult to sit in this position.

Therefore, on Zuo Fengyi's side, Zhang Xi still has to let Hu Zun serve as the Taishou. The only hope that Zhang Xi has now is that the Hu family is still as talented as in history.

Of course, as far as the selection of the county guard is concerned, the problem is not very big, Hu Fen is also a famous figure in history in the end, even if he is not good at guarding, he will not be defeated by Cao Wei with one blow. The biggest problem is Zuo Fengyi's defense problem.

After Zhang Xi suggested that Zuo Fengyi relocate the people, at least for a short time, it would not be able to immediately meet Zuo Fengyi's defense needs.

To do a good job in defense, you first have to have people, and what Zuo Fengyi lacks most now is Dingkou.

According to Zhang Xi's original plan for Zuo Fengyi, in addition to setting aside one-tenth of the place as a military buffer zone and leaving the elite of the Northern Army to garrison, half of the remaining cultivated land, half of which will be used as a military tun and a civilian tun, becoming the largest tuntian base in Yongzhou.

Needless to say, the military tun was naturally brought to Tuntian by the local county soldiers of Yongzhou, and the Mintun was to deal with the hidden dingkou released by the foreign families, and to take these dingkou for Mintun.

A small part of the remaining half of the cultivated land was used as a field for military merits and was given to the meritorious soldiers of the Northern Expedition, and the remaining large part, about 10,000 hectares of land, was reserved for foreign families to enter the customs and purchase land.

This matter was handed over to Huang Quan to deal with with it all, and Zhang Xi was only responsible for the final seal confirmation.

But let's do it. Huang Quan was actually very aggrieved.

Huang Quan originally thought that he was doing this to some extent for the sake of the interests of the Shuzhong family, after all, with the current law of the Han Dynasty, it is too difficult to obtain more cultivated land reasonably and legally.

Although the Han Dynasty implemented the Fish Scale Atlas, although it did not mean to thoroughly check the land, the families also needed to report the number of fields they owned, and at most they could only make some fuss about the difference between the taxes of the superior and inferior fields, and it was impossible to hide the land to which it belonged.

This has led to the fact that if the local families want to engage in land annexation, they can only buy and sell through formal channels, and any land transaction must go to the government for the record, although it is not completely impossible, such as buying off the local county magistrate and other means can also be done, but this is illegal after all, once discovered, these annexed lands must also be spit out.

In addition, the government is very strict about land sales and transactions, and all transaction records and county orders must be handed over to the household department every year, and after the household department is archived, the officials of Menxia Province also have to verify that now Menxia Province is Pang Tong's territory, and Pang Tong may take care of the Jingzhou family, but Pang Tong will not leave any mercy for the Yizhou family.

This has led to the fact that it will be even more difficult for the Yizhou family to carry out land annexation in Yizhou.

Today, Yongzhou has tens of thousands of hectares of land, allowing families from other states to buy it, and the main official who controls this transaction at the same time, or Huang Quan, a member of Yizhou's own family, really thinks that this is a benefit he has sought for the Yizhou family.

After all, who can refuse the temptation of land these days?!

But from the perspective of the Yizhou family, although Huang Quan's benefit is indeed a good thing, but. It's with Xiang.

The families of Yizhou are not unaware of Huang Quan's intentions, of course they also want to develop in Yongzhou Land. Even if you don't look at the income of money and food, it is a good thing for the family to be able to extend the influence of the family to the Yongzhou area.

But the problem is that if you want to buy land in Yongzhou, it is not just as simple as buying land with money, but you must also release the Dingkou hidden by the previous family as an admission ticket, so that you can be eligible to go to Yongzhou Land.

It's kind of disgusting.

Although the Han Dynasty's investigation and punishment of the family's concealment of Dingkou is not very strict, but the concealment of Dingkou is a thing that cannot be put on the table after all, you can do it privately, but you must not take it to the table to say.

But now, Zhuge Liang's condition for the Yizhou family is that one hectare of land in Yongzhou needs to be released to obtain the qualification for land purchase, and if you want to buy a thousand hectares of land, you have to release 10,000 douts.

To tell the truth, if there is no such restriction, the 10,000 hectares of land in Yongzhou will not be enough to divide between several major families in Yizhou. After adding this condition, there are only a few families who dare to land in Yongzhou.

There is no way, the money to buy a thousand hectares of land can be taken out by a medium-sized family with a slight scale in Yizhou, but it is necessary to release 10,000 hidden dingkou. There are really few families who dare to do this.

Note that you don't dare to do it, it's not that you can't do it.

The Yizhou family, after the connivance of Liu Yan's father and son for two generations, has reached a terrifying level of concealment, and after Liu Bei became the master, in order not to stimulate the family, he only dared to use the fish scale atlas to clarify the ownership of the land, nor did he dare to conduct a thorough investigation of the family's hidden dingkou. After forty or fifty years of accumulation, there are tens of thousands of Dingkou hidden in the hands of a slightly larger family.

It's not that the family can't take out these Dingkou, and no one dares to take them to the Han court openly.

Although the imperial court also knows that these families have hidden dingkou in their hands, the problem is that you can take out thousands or even tens of thousands of hidden dingkou from a small and medium-sized family, and the entire Yizhou family combined, how many dingkou are hidden in total?!

And the most important thing is - what do you Yizhou family want to do with so many dingkou?!

The biggest source of tax in Dahan is not the agricultural tax, but the Dingkou tax. What is the difference between hiding so many Dingkou and robbing money from the imperial court?!

There are really few families who have the confidence to come up with 10,000 dings, and at the same time are not afraid of the imperial court's settlement after the autumn.

Even the Li family of Yizhou, a big family whose family is divided all over Yizhou, they have released more than 15,000 hidden dingkou in exchange for the qualification to buy 1,500 hectares of land in Yongzhou, but to the outside world, they will not say that these dingkou are hidden by them, but only that they have found some people who have entered the mountain to escape the war in a certain mountainous area, and now they are guiding them out of the mountain to make a living.

Although everyone knows what is actually going on, even if it is the Li family, there is still a fig leaf that should be there.

The Li family only dared to buy 1,500 hectares of arable land in Yongzhou, which is far inferior to the Li family, who has the confidence to dare to take out more Dingkou in exchange for the opportunity to buy land in Yongzhou? !

That is, the Wang family released 10,000 dingkou in exchange for the qualification to purchase 1,000 hectares of land in Yongzhou, and the Liu, Yang, and Zhang families also released some dingkou in exchange for the qualification to purchase 500 to 800 hectares of land in Yongzhou.

These big families can only buy such a little land with such a buckle and rope, and how many of the remaining families can have the courage to exchange Dingkou for land? !

Therefore, Zuo Feng Yijuntun has been going on for almost half a year, and Huang Quan still has not sold all the 10,000 hectares of land in his hands, and the Mintun Dingkou sent from Chengdu to Yongzhou is only more than 30,000 people.

This little bit of Dingkou can't support the Mintun camp planned by Zhang Xi at all.
