123. Wuhuan
The army was disbanded, and he took off the clothes he was wearing now, which were very hot.
Back in the yurt, Zhang Qi asked the female soldiers to roll up the curtains and open all the windows and curtains.
Under the ventilation, Zhang Qi felt a lot more comfortable.
It was April when I came out, and it was already July after I returned, and it was inevitable that the north would become hot and dry in the north.
All things on the earth grow, and the water and grass are fertile, and they deserve the sentence that the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep.
Under the hot weather, the farmland outside the royal court has also been reclaimed a lot.
No, someone has already come to report it.
"Where's your director?"
Zhang Qi took a sip of cold grape juice and asked beautifully.
The person who came to report was not Lu Mu, who Zhang Qi was familiar with, but a young man who had no impression on him.
"Your Excellency, the director left before March, and it seems that he went out with the sentinels, and the director of the follow-up farmland reclamation department gave me carte blanche to do so."
"Oh, yes." Zhang Qi's eyes narrowed, the sentinel who went out in March was only the Sanwu sent to Liaodong, Lu Mu followed?
It's okay, if Zhang Qi is an ordinary person, Lu Mu's move is tantamount to a way to die, but fortunately, Zhang Qi is not, just the blessing of the spirit point gives Lu Mu a gold medal to avoid death.
"Say it."
Zhang Qi adjusted his sitting posture a little lazy, he had been running around for so long, what was wrong with being lazy.
"Yes." The young man took out a wooden board from his arms, and some symbols were drawn on the board that Zhang Qi couldn't understand, but the young man touched those symbols and read out the meaning on them.
"My lord, 1,633 people of the Department of Public Works have now reclaimed 83,400 acres of farmland with the assistance of ploughing horses and quyuan ploughs, of which 20,000 acres of bean seeds that were first planted have now bloomed.
Of the subsequent reclamation of farmland, 30,000 mu of bean seeds have also been planted, which can be harvested by November at the latest, and 33,400 mu are now vacant, and the division believes that these more than 30,000 mu of farmland can be sown in November and harvested in April of the following year.
In addition to the above, the Department of Public Works expects to reclaim another 30,000 acres of farmland before the autumn harvest and improve the construction of water canals. ”
The young man read out all the content recorded on the board, and Zhang Qi nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, Lu Mu didn't read the wrong person."
How old is it? ”
Zhang Qi asked with interest.
The young man was overjoyed and said loudly: "Humble this year! ”
"Well, it's a talent, so you continue to coordinate the Public Works Division until Lu Mu comes back, and take time to go to the school every day and follow those schoolchildren to read and write."
"Your Excellency is generous."
The young man kowtowed and thanked him, Zhang Qi waved his hand and asked him to go down, there were other people waiting to report to him.
The young man stood up with some excitement and then withdrew.
Zhang Qi continued to drink the grape juice, and then listened to the recent situation of the royal court during his absence.
The cement workshop has already started to produce cement, and with the efforts of hundreds of workshop workers, there are six or seven hundred tons of cement output every month.
And Hu Jiu also said that as the workers become more and more proficient, the output can be further increased.
This is the advantage of mature technical support, the world has already studied the production of cement, and now in the outside world, as long as a group of qualified workers are trained, then the energy will continue to produce.
This is also due to the speed of supply of materials, and the production of cement requires clay, lime, gypsum, iron powder, etc.
For this reason, there are a group of people in the royal court who specialize in clay mining, and now there is a small clay pit over there.
Zhang Qi's opinion on this is to continue mining, there are many swamps in the northeast in this era, since mining clay will form potholes, so it is okay, and when the clay is mined, the water in the swamp can be diverted to that side to form a reservoir.
In the long run, supplemented by measures such as low basins and water diversion into rivers, it is not impossible to turn Daze into fertile soil.
In addition to cement, everything else is also in good shape.
Timber, minerals, cattle and sheep have all increased.
Zhang Qiguang listened to their reports for a few hours, and drank glass after glass of grape juice.
Finally, after the last word of the Secretary for Justice, all the things that should be reported were also reported.
Bo Li straightened his clothes, and under the position of director for half a year, he developed a face that was not angry and self-assured.
"That's all, Your Majesty."
When the words fell, the books in Bo's hands were also closed.
Zhang Qi, who was on the seat, nodded a little embarrassed, there are 30,000 people in the royal court, and he needs to be responsible for the final checks for big and small things, it would be a lie to say that he is not tired.
"I know, I didn't expect those Huns to throw themselves here, which gave me a surprise."
This is what Bo reported just now, he went out for March, and thousands of people crossed the Great Xing'an Mountains one after another to the Xianbei royal court, originally they planned to defect to Xianbei, but they didn't expect Xianbei to be gone, they escaped from the clutches of the white devil, and finally came to the rule of the white devil.
Not to mention anything else, when Zhang Qi's army returned to the royal court today, many of the Huns who came to vote must have wet their pants.
"Let's let them do something that can be done in the royal court, limit going out, and make other plans after the coming day."
"By the way, has the sentinel sent to Liaodong returned?"
Bo shook his head: "The Legal Department doesn't care about this. ”
"yes, so be it."
Zhang Qi smiled and let Bo go down.
On the other side, after setting off from Liaodong, Lu Mu and the others should have arrived in the Xianbei sphere of influence, but someone did not let them come back.
Last time, when the seventeen of them set out from Xianbei and passed through Wuhuan, they attracted the attention of the Wuhuan people, and this time they returned, the Wuhuan King sent people to wait early.
Xianbei Wuhuan belongs to the same lineage, all from the Donghu tribe, but now Donghu no longer exists, and the Wuhuan people also want to establish a good relationship with the Han people.
King Wuhuan naturally understood the reason for going first and showing goodwill, he didn't expect that he hadn't acted yet, and Xianbei had already sent someone to Handi.
This is not appropriate, if Xianbei reached a deal with the Han people first, then Wuhuan can still be reused in the future?
We have to figure out what the Xianbei people talked about with the Han people.
So.
A group of sixteen people was surrounded by layers of Wuhuan assault horses.
King Wuhuan walked out of the military formation with a smile, looked at Lu Mu, who was dressed as the head of the Han people, and said enthusiastically: "This is an official from the Han land?" ”
Lu Mu also smiled, although his palms were wet, he knew that he couldn't panic, as long as he delayed the time, the traveling sentry who was covered and retreated would be able to bring the news back to the royal court, and his lord would know what had happened to him and the others.
"King Wuhuan, right?" Lu Mu straightened his clothes, clasped his hands into fists and saluted to the south: "Liaodong Taishou Counselor Lu Mu!" Dare to ask King Wuhuan what this means? ”
