Wang Wei looked at Chu Kun and said: "The Duwei Mansion must arrange the military cantonments of the government soldiers and township soldiers, farm tools and livestock are the main force of real farming, the quality of farm tools must be guaranteed to be the best, and livestock must be taken care of diligently." In addition, more wells were dug in the city to provide water for the common people and undertake the daily irrigation of the farmland in the city. ”

Chu Kun said: "Captain, if you do this, then the daily training of the government soldiers and township soldiers will fall, is this good?" ”

Wang Rong said with a smile: "Mr. Chu, you can let the government soldiers and township soldiers take turns to train and work, and you and Meng Song need to take the idea." Chu Kun nodded, indicating that he understood.

There are a total of four deep wells in the city, one in each of the four urban areas. Before the appearance of the four deep wells, the water source in the city had always been drawn from Tu Shenze. However, due to the man-made destruction of nature, the scope of Tu Shenze was greatly reduced, and as a last resort, the people living here dug out these four deep wells with a depth of more than ten zhang by themselves, so as to save the last hope of the city and not let the city fall into ruins.

However, as the city's population grew, Wang hoped to build more wells to alleviate the growing shortage of water. It's just that in the past few months, Li Qian led the villagers to dig seven wells successively, but they all failed, and it seems that there is a magic spell in the dark that prevents the development of the city.

Then Wang Rong carefully studied the maps that had been explored by the guards, and then found that there were two dark rivers under the city of Miao, and the direction of these two dark rivers perfectly missed Tu Shenze, so that Tu Shenze only had a water source of the northern tributary of the Great River.

In order to verify his judgment, Wang Rong asked Li Qian to dig four wells in the northwest corner, near the east gate, near the southeast corner, and near the south gate. After a few more days of busy work, Li Qian finally took the lead in successfully opening a well near the east gate.

Wang Rong, who was sitting in the Governor's Mansion, could clearly hear the cheers coming from the east. Chu Kun looked at Wang Biao and said with a happy face: "Duwei, it seems that the water has finally been dug up this time." ”

Wang Rong nodded, and at this moment Li Qian entered the lobby of the Governor's Mansion, and he reported excitedly: "Captain, we have succeeded, and we have succeeded in drilling wells at all four points!" And sure enough, I found a water vein here! ”

Chu Kun hurriedly asked, "Then can you dig more wells in the city?" ”

Li Qian shook his head regretfully and said: "It's a pity, if you follow the direction of these two underground rivers, the number of wells in the city has reached the limit, and there will be no more, unless you go to the outside of the city to dig wells, but there is no point in doing that." ”

When Chu Kun heard this, he had to give up. Wang Rong smiled and comforted: "Changshi doesn't have to worry about the lack of water sources, as long as we can protect Tu Shenze and control the entrance of the northern tributary of the river, Tu Shenze will not dry up, and the city is going to be expanded, I hope that in the future, the city can become the largest city in the Hetao." ”

Chu Kun and Li Qian bowed and said, "The captain is ambitious, and the lowly rank must do his best." ”

Wang Rong smiled and helped the two of them up, and said with a smile: "There's nothing to do now, let's go, let's go to the fields outside the city to have a look." ”

When the three of them came to the outside of the city, they saw the farmers who were busy, and with the implementation of the Shiwu household law, the people in the city were busy making up households these days.

The farmland of the city is mainly located in the southeast and west three directions, there are less than 100 hectares, two years and three crops, plant a season of spring wheat every year, plant a season of beans every other year, the annual output of grain is far from meeting the needs of the people of the city, and also need to be purchased from the city of Woye and Linrong. But even with all this difficulty, this less than 100 hectares of wheat field is still extremely important to the people of the city.

Northerners love pasta, so the land is dominated by wheat fields. Outside the city, the wheat fields stretched as far as the eye could see, and a heavy rain had just fallen, which had made the soil damp and the smell of the earth in the fields even stronger.

To cultivate a field, you need to turn the soil first, then weed, then sow the seeds, the wheat seeds are soaked in water, then watered, fertilized, preferably with livestock manure, and the seeds should be buried with soil to prevent the seeds from being eaten by birds.

In principle, household registration advocates self-selection, so most people are mainly neighbors or relatives and friends.

Reclamation and cultivation of fields are carried out in groups of households, and each household must not only cultivate the land from the young and strong, but also the old and weak women and children must do what they can.

Now that spring planting has been missed, what they have to do now is actually very simple, which is to spread the vegetable seeds evenly in the soil, bury them, and then water them.

Old people sit and rest on the edge of the ridges, children are playing on the field roads, and women are busy in the fields from time to time straighten up, wipe their sweat with a linen cloth around their necks, and then shout something to the children who are playing.

Such an idyllic scene made Wang Rong feel very happy, if he could, he really didn't want to experience war and death.

Li Qian said to Wang Rong with a happy face: "Duwei, it would be great if this scene could continue forever." ”

Chu Kun nodded and said approvingly: "Yes, such a beautiful scenery reminds the old man of the days when he lived in seclusion before, and it was really pleasant at that time." ”

Wang Rong jokingly said: "It seems that Mr. Chu wants to return to his original life, but unfortunately he can't go back now." ”

Chu Kun said indifferently: "I became the governor of the Governor's Mansion so that more people can live the comfortable life when the old man lived in seclusion. ”

In the months leading up to the autumn harvest, the Western Governor's Mansion was busy with military cantonment, military training, and armaments, and the daily life of the three county towns gradually got on track.

With the autumn breeze blowing on the grassland, the city ushered in the long-lost autumn harvest. This autumn harvest is different from the past, and the vegetables on the newly reclaimed 200 hectares of land have entered the maturity stage, mainly camellia, weed, coriander, cucumber, spinach, leeks, green onions and garlic. The original wheat field, which was less than 100 hectares, was golden, and the farmers wielded sickles in the wheat field, reaping the fruits of their hard work.

Wang Rong stood quietly on the south city wall and looked at the wheat fields being harvested in the distance, quietly distracted, and then heard a heavy footstep behind him.

"Duwei, the news from the steppe that the new right general of the Qiangfang Khanate, Su Bushu, was ordered by the Great Khan of the Qiangfu Khanate to gather more than ten tribes, with a total of more than 50,000 cavalry and foot soldiers, and the soldiers invaded Shuofang County in two ways." The fifth marquis is clothed in a Xuan robe, wearing a Xuan armor inside, and reports on his hands.

When Wang Rong heard the news of what the Fifth Marquis said, he turned around, looked at him, and said, "More than ten tribes? More than 50,000 people? Have they all gathered? ”

The Fifth Marquis bowed and saluted: "No, now only the 10,000 cavalry of the Subu clan have been assembled on the grassland, and they are waiting for the armies of other tribes to arrive at the station of the Subu tribe. ”

Wang Rong asked, "According to your estimates, how long will it take for them to be fully assembled?" ”

The Fifth Marquis thought for a while, and said in a firm tone: "Fifteen days for fast, and twenty days for slow." ”

Wang Rong nodded, and then said: "Let's go, let's go back to the Duwei Mansion, Wang Hao, and call Meng Song, Wang Zijin, Wumo and others to the Duwei Mansion." Wang Mo bowed, then turned and commanded the task.

Back at the Governor's Mansion, the government soldiers and township soldiers and officers gathered in the courtyard, Wang Rong looked at everyone, greeted them cordially one by one, and said apologetically: "The main hall of the Governor's Mansion is too small to accommodate you, since this is the case, then hold a meeting in the courtyard." I'm standing like everyone else, so don't be inhibited, relax. ”

Hearing Wang Rong's words, everyone relaxed a lot, but Meng Song, Wumo, Chu Kun and others standing in the front row did not relax.

Wang Rong looked at everyone and said: "According to the news from the scouts, the grassland outside the Wolf Mountain is not very peaceful again, this time the new right general of the Qiangfang Khanate, Su Bushu, respected the order of the Great Khan of the Qiangqi Khanate, gathered more than 50,000 cavalry and foot soldiers, and prepared to invade my Dayong, Shuofang County bore the brunt. ”

Chu Kun said suspiciously: "Captain, is there only news of this army?" You must know that in previous years, the autumn criminals were all with the strength of the whole country, at least 300,000 horses. ”

Wang Rong said helplessly: "Sir, our scouts from the Western Governor's Mansion can only detect these news, and it will be very dangerous if it is far away. ”

Wang Wei didn't tell the truth to Chu Kun, he didn't want the Detective Department in the shadows to be exposed.
