As the sun sets, bamboo rafts rush along the Yellow River into Changhu Lake in the south of Xinghai County.

On the Changhu wharf, Yao Yi commanded his subordinates to remove all the sheepskin bags loaded with grain on the bamboo raft, and then sent them into the county seat by horse-drawn carriage.

Xinghai County is also the state city of Changzhou.

Li Xuan can't afford to build a new city, Changzhou can't move out, and Xinghai can't move out.

Therefore, the Changzhou Prefecture is in the city, and the Xinghai County is in the west of the city.

Li Xuan stepped on the dock and arched his hand to Yao Yi: "Changshi has worked hard. ”

"The prince has worked hard." Yao Yi bowed deeply and said: "This time I traveled eastward, came and went for more than two months, and finally transported the grain and grass, if it was any later, the army would have to rob the livestock of Changzhou as military rations." ’

"Is it that serious?" Li Xuan paused, and his face suddenly became solemn.

"Hmm!" Yao Yi nodded solemnly and said, "It's even more serious than originally expected, there has been two consecutive years of drought, and the food consumption of the people in the north is much faster.

Fortunately, this year's grain from the south to the north has not caused chaos in various places, otherwise even if there is no Tianyin Sect now, something else will pop up. ”

"Don't talk about that." Li Xuan waved his hand and said suspiciously: "In this case, there is enough food, and there is no problem with the grain road, how can there be a shortage of food?" ”

"Originally, it was expected that there would be enough grain in the regular closing positions of various states and counties, but now ......" Yao Yi looked up at Li Xuan, with a hint of helplessness and desolation in his eyes.

Li Xuan was subconsciously stunned, then nodded helplessly, and said, "This king understands." ”

The state and county government treasury should have enough grain to cope with the disaster year, but unfortunately, half of the grain in the warehouse can be eaten now, which is already excellent.

Although the Prime Ministers, the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Household Department, the Officials Department, and the Criminal Department have inspected various states and counties one after another since last year, the real situation is far more serious than expected.

In other words, the ability of the rats in various states and counties is much stronger than expected, and it is also because the center has not been able to conduct a thorough inventory.

In other words, these losses were originally in the estimation of the imperial court.

However, these losses were not recorded.

That's the trouble.

Now that the state and county governments are short of grain, the grain routes, which should be incomparably smooth, suddenly began to have problems.

And the problem is getting worse and worse, there are already two batches of military rations at the front that have not arrived.

If this continues, the sergeants will have to turn their attention to the cattle and sheep of the people of Changzhou.

It's a big deal to ask the Governor's Office to make an IOU to the Changzhou Assassin's Mansion.

As for whether the IOU counts in the end, whether or not they can get the money back is none of the business of these former soldiers.

Fortunately, now Li Xuan is back with food

Li Xuan originally thought that his trip to Panzhou was somewhat redundant, but he didn't expect that now this hand would become life-saving food.

Li Xuan sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "Let's go back to the state government first." ”

"Whoa!"

……

"Wang Xiaojie's vice president will come here to urge you to produce food." Li Xuan stood up suddenly, looking at Yao Yi with anger in her eyes.

In the hall of the state government, Yao Yi grabbed Li Xuan with a wry smile and said: "Vice General Chen just said a few urgent words, but the words of robbing the people and livestock are probably also discussed in the army for a long time. ”

Li Xuan took a deep breath, sat down, and said with a sneer: "This idiot, I'm afraid he was also used as a gun by others." ”

Yao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded solemnly.

Wang Xiaojie's troops are guarding in Wuhai, their grain and grass have always been transferred from Dafeichuan, and if they are really short of food, they will go to Dafeichuan to transfer, how can they come to Changzhou?

However, there were people on the side of Dafeichuan, who pushed Wang Xiaojie's deputy to Changzhou because of the lack of grain, or the order of grain and grass transfer.

But that stupid guy didn't see that at all.

When he arrived in Changzhou, he turned this anger on Yao Yi's head, and threatened to rob the local people's livestock.

You must know that these cattle are not foreign cattle and sheep, they are Changzhou, under the rule of Li Xuan, they are the cattle of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

really wants to rob the people's livestock, according to military law, Li Xuan can kill people.

Livestock is also considered logistics, Taochang Dao Prefectures, if there is a disturbance of logistics, below the seventh grade, Li Xuan can be cut first and then played, and above the seventh grade, Li Xuan can also be temporarily suspended.

With this suspension, I am afraid that the military merits that have been made with great difficulty will be gone.

The military department and the household department are having a headache with the post-war military merit rewards.

However, if he really did this, he was still a little cheaper.

"Long history." Li Xuan raised his head, looked at Yao Yi, and said seriously: "Three days later, you lead a grain team, carry five days of military rations, and send them to Wuhai, this king writes a letter, you personally hand it over to Wang Xiaojie, and he will give you an explanation." ”

"Lord, don't come nonsense." Yao Yi was startled, and hurriedly grabbed Li Xuan, the front of the army was dirty, but it was a taboo on the battlefield.

Li Xuan waved his hand and said, "Where does Uncle Shi want to go, Xuan just wants to take the opportunity to calculate the Qinling." ”

Yao Yi's eyes widened, and he let go of his hand in disbelief, and at the same time looked at Li Xuan with some confusion.

Li Xuan smiled lightly, and then said softly: "The lack of rations in the Ukrainian navy, on Qinling must know it, if at this time, the king and the army forward with military rations in their hands are dirty, what will Qinling do?" ”

Dirty?

Yao Yi remembered what Li Xuan said, when he went to the army, he sent food and a letter at the same time, and Wang Xiaojie would give him an explanation.

This confession is the filth.

I am afraid that such filth will not be able to hide from people.

"Take advantage of the unstable morale of the army and step up the offensive." Yao Yi immediately spoke, it is not difficult to guess what Qin Ling did.

Li Xuan nodded and said, "But at this time, Wang Xiaojie suddenly counterattacked, and he would suffer a big loss if he didn't do well in Qinling. ”

"That's true." Yao Yi raised his head and said, "But Wang Xiaojie's counterattack may also be eaten by Lun Qinling." ”

"At this time, what if this king happens to attack from Xiaohuashi Gorge......" Li Xuan said simply, and the situation on the frontline battlefield had clearly appeared in Yao Yi's mind.

On Qinling's attention was on Wang Xiaojie's department, which was finally killed, and at this time, Li Xuan suddenly appeared behind him and bit down on Qinling fiercely......

"The prince seems to like to use sound to attack the west?" Yao Yi looked at Li Xuan with some uncertainty.

"Uncle Shi can see it." Li Xuan's face became slightly solemn.

It's not that he's worried about Yao Yi or anything, but even Yao Yi can see these things, so what about Qinling, will he also see it?

"Three months ago, in the Battle of Wuhai, the prince first used himself to travel west to ambush the city to attract the attention of the Qinling Tomb, and then burned the bitter sea; After that, the army marched west into Wuhai, but the prince took advantage of the unpreparedness of Qinling and raided from Xiaohuashi Gorge.

Later, on the Qinling Tomb to defend the Dahuashi Gorge, the prince suddenly appeared in the north of Maqin; As soon as the attention of Qinling turned around, the prince led his army eastward to Panzhou and opened up the ...... in Shuzhong."

Yao Yi looked at Li Xuan with a complicated expression.

Li Xuan's set, if you carefully analyze it, is actually not surprising, but he can always be one step faster.

Even on Qinling, this battle suffered an unknown loss at the hands of Li Xuan.

This kind of means, even Yao Yi is impressed.

"Uncle Shi is right, now that so much time has passed, the Qinling Tomb should be on guard." Li Xuan lowered her head slightly and began to think.

Yao Yi was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little funny, he obviously didn't mean that.

"Lord, let's talk about this matter later, now the political affairs of Changzhou need to be reported to the prince, and there are still some official documents that need to be signed by the prince." Yao Yi began to get down to business.

Li Xuan's mind suddenly converged and listened carefully.

He is the history of Changzhou Thorn, and Changzhou is his foundation.

Only by governing Changzhou well can he have the possibility of going further.

Under Yao Yi's narration, Li Xuan gradually gained an understanding of the situation in Changzhou.

During the period of Li Xuan's absence, Yao Yi actively promoted the strategy of Li Xuan's deployment to maintain land and repair roads and canals.

The whole land of Changzhou, because of the high terrain, strong sunshine, and perennial dryness, the salinity of the water and soil is very high.

This can be seen from Qinghai Lake, Chaka Salt Lake, and several other large salt lakes, where the soil has a high degree of salinity.

It is not because of the saltwater lakes such as Qinghai Lake and several salt lakes such as Chaka that affect the surrounding soil, but because of the high degree of salinity in the surrounding soil, there are finally other major salt lakes such as Qinghai saltwater lake and Chaka salt lake.

In fact, if Li Xuan was willing, he would be able to build a small salt lake in Xinghai in a matter of minutes.

Therefore, it is very important to take care of the properties of the land.

Desalinization and more improvement of the land into an environment suitable for the growth of more barley, or even a small amount of wheat.

However, before conditioning, it is necessary to first determine the salinity of the soil in each place.

The highest degree of soil salinity is around the large salt lakes such as Qinghai Lake and Chaka Salt Lake, which have the highest degree of salinity, and can only optimize the most suitable grasses in the local area.

The second is the Dafei River area, but in addition to the high degree of salinization of the land, the wind is also very strong, and the grass is generally low.

Then there is the Qugou and Xinghai areas, the northwest has a higher salinity, but the southeast, near the Yellow River, has a low salinity.

The salinity of the land in Guinan and Tongde is relatively low, and a large amount of highland barley is planted on the ground.

Most surprisingly, Zeku and his colleagues, these two places have the lowest levels of salinity.

Tongren is located between the mountains, and there is a long river in the middle, the temperature is warmer than other places, and the salinity is not high.

Wheat cultivation has now begun on a large scale near the banks of the Longwu River, and barley is grown only on the other mountain edges.

Even if the salinity is not high, it is impossible to grow wheat easily, and it is necessary to repair the terraces, communicate with the canals, and so on.

It will take a few years to improve.

Straw returning to the field, fertilizing people and animals, digging ditches, planting a large number of trees, reducing water evaporation and other effective improvement methods.

As for saline-alkali land, it is best to choose Suaeda grass that absorbs more salt for planting, medicinal use, and edible.

It will take more than ten years for the entire Changzhou agriculture to develop rapidly.

……

"Now, after several months of hard work, by mid-July, when the autumn harvest begins, it will be able to bear fruit, and I think that in addition to maintaining the needs of the people and the supply of military supplies, there will be some surplus." Yao Yi breathed a deep sigh of relief.

He has been busy with these things for the past few months, which can be said to be quite productive.

And Li Xuan and Yao Yi didn't know that these things about them were all seen by the emperor of Chang'an.

In the emperor's heart, the killing of the generals is important, but the ministers who rule the world are even more important.

In history, all the famous ministers who are good at Tuntian, Zao Yi, Han Hao, Ren Jun, Yuan Lian, Deng Ai, Lu Xun, Feng Changqing, Zhang Gongjin, which is not the important minister of the world and the posture of the prime minister.

In today's Qinghai, there are also two famous Tuntian ministers in later generations.

One is to supervise the imperial Shi Lou Shide, and the other is Guo Yuanzheng, the commander of Guinan County, both of whom were later prime ministers.

Yao Yi is the same, although the big policy was formulated by Li Xuan, but the specific implementation is him.

The emperor now plans to let Yao Yi serve as the assassin for two years, and then transfer him back to the household department as a squire before he dies of illness.

As for the future Hubu Shangshu and the prime minister, it is all a matter of the new emperor.

Yao Yi is already an important minister and a good minister prepared for the new emperor in the emperor's heart.

So, what about Li Xuan?

……

"A good harvest of grain." Li Xuan sighed lightly, looked up at Yao Yi and said, "If that's the case, then the Qinling Tomb will definitely start before the autumn harvest." ”

The war was about to break out, and Yao Yi bowed his head seriously.

One of the chair's legs suddenly broke
