"It's time to eat!"

Bell Bell Bell –

The knight rode on a horse with a bell and shouted.

Hearing this voice, a man with a famous shoulder on his shoulders put down the work in his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

The dark skin and the ravine-filled face are all signs that have grown up in suffering.

"Whew, it's time to eat, it's time to eat, and I don't know what kind of food I ate at noon today."

The tools in their hands were placed in their previous posts, where they were repairing the gravel foundations of the railway, and columns of people were discharged from far and wide.

"Haha, I want to eat the kind of dregs of greens from the other day, which is fragrant and filling."

"How can you eat meat every day, there are too many blessings, but you will lose your life, the old man can eat enough, and he doesn't ask for anything else."

"Hey, it's still a black old man with insight, and he deserves to be someone who has read a book for a few days."

They are all people near Taiyuan, and some of them were even in the same village before, so they are quite familiar with each other.

The place where the meal was served was a little bit away from here, so the people gathered together and chatted as they walked.

"Eh, what the hell do you say we are repairing, saying it's a road, but it's not like ah, whose roads are paved with these gravel cobblestones?"

"What do you care about doing so much, it's not good to have a job, the salary paid in more than half a month can catch up with the previous months earned."

"That's it, those officials asked us to repair it, then we repaired, this day's food is wrapped, isn't it?"

Scratching his head, the man who asked this question before smiled wryly: "Isn't this curious." ”

"But it's also ha, after that Liaohou came, it seems that all of us here have found something to do, what a good person."

"That's not it, my second uncle and my uncle both have work to do, but they went to repair the road, and they don't have another place with us."

"Yes, so are those in my family, last time Xiu Mu went back and heard them say that they seem to be still building a reservoir and cultivating wasteland."

"Liaohou is a good man."

"yes, good guy."

“.”

——

"Your Majesty, all the projects are started at the same time at this time, is our stall too big all of a sudden?"

Taiyuan newly established the city lord's mansion.

Hu Ling pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said,

There was a deep tiredness in her eyes, and she could see the exertion of this time.

"It's really bigger, but it can still hold on."

Zhang Qi leaned back in his chair and stretched his neck.

"How long will it take for the fourth batch of reserve officials to arrive?"

Listening to the crunching sound of the bones in his neck, Zhang Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Hu Ling flipped through the notepad and replied.

"The fourth batch of 20,000 people went to Xuzhou, and the 6,000 people in Qingzhou have arrived by sea."

"The remaining 14,000 people will be sent down along the merge prefecture in turn, and the last group of 3,000 people who arrived in Taiyuan is expected to arrive in two days."

"Well, almost."

Zhang Qi closed his eyes and nodded.

A large number of students were sent to the six states as reserve officials, which greatly reduced the pressure on Zhang Qi and was also the reason why a large number of projects could be carried out at the same time.

There was a little silence in the office, and Zhang Qi opened his eyes and looked at Hu Ling.

"It's September, and the winter in Liaodi is coming, and this season's sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn will also be harvested."

"Send the message back, this year's batch of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn do not need to be starched, and they will be sent directly to all parts of the six states to be used as food."

"Let the Department of Maritime Affairs increase the intensity of sea fishing to ensure a smooth transition to June next year."

"At that point, it's time for the localities to be self-sufficient."

"Understood."

Hu Ling nodded.

There are already a large number of fields in various parts of the six states, and Zhang Qi has marked the construction of fertilizer plants as the primary goal, and a season of winter wheat will be put into the ground, and there will be a harvest in the six states next year, so there is no need to rely on Zhang Qi's original land on the three continents for blood transfusion.

Count carefully, there are now eight states under Zhang Qi's hands, in addition to these six states on the land of China, there is also Lezhou east of Youzhou.

Lezhou is further east of Yinzhou.

Youzhou is an important producer of grain in Zhang Qi's hands, and now all states and counties basically rely on Youzhou to revitalize.

Potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and sorghum are the four pillars of Youzhou.

After two years of development, Lezhou has also become a major grain producing state that can be on par with Youzhou.

The Champa rice seeds obtained from the navigation route of the Haiwu Division have been planted in Lezhou for a year and a half after being selected by the world of riding.

Coupled with the convenience of animal husbandry and sea fishing, Lezhou's grain output is also not small, which can be called the second largest granary in Zhang Qi's hands.

In Yinzhou, the position is different.

It is mainly used to produce silver and gold, and the grain harvested in a year is only enough to be stored in the granary for emergency use, except for the self-sufficiency of the people of the state.

On the contrary, the output of fish far exceeds that of food.

Knock knock.

Just as Zhang Qi and Hu Ling were talking, there was a knock on the door in the office.

"Come in."

Sitting in a correct position, Zhang Qi looked at the door, and a spy walked in.

"Your Majesty, the Liaoze Railway is about to be completed."

Hearing the news, Zhang Qi's eyes immediately lit up.

"How far is it?!"

"The news is coming, and there are still forty miles to get on track."

"Good!"

Zhang Qi was overjoyed.

"Let Hu Shui come to see me!"

"No!"

The agent departed.

In a short time, the hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

"See your lord!"

"Get up."

Hu Shui is dressed in regular clothes, with a strong body, and the general's belly is prominent.

"There is a task."

There are no polite words, Hu Shui is Zhang Qi's confidant and one of the most trustworthy people, so there is no need for those politeness.

Hearing that there was a task, Hu Shui stood up straight, waiting for Zhang Qi's order.

"The Liaoze Railway is about to be merged, and Juyanze's supply line is no longer a problem, I want you to return to Juyanze with the entire guerrilla army, go west, and take the Ili River Valley!"

"Nope."

As if thinking of something, Zhang Qi waved his hand.

"Not only the Ili River Valley, I want you to take the thirty-six countries of the Western Regions! Is there confidence? ”

"It's just a thief!"

Hu Shui's face was full of confidence.

Zhang Qi shook his head.

"That's fine, you go first, wait for the first batch of supplies transported from Liaodi to Juyanze to arrive, and then start pulling."

"No!"

Hu Shui left with his hands and strode away.

Western regions.

Zhang Qi's eyes flickered, and the corners of his mouth were slightly outlined.

"Di Lieba, Guli Naza, Marzaha, hehe is also a good place, and at the same time, it is also a bridgehead to Europe, take it first."

"Thirty-six countries of the Western Regions. Your Majesty, is it really okay for Hu Shui to be alone? ”

Hu Ling asked a little uneasy.

Zhang Qi glanced sideways: "It's no problem, but it's better to be careful, let the herald come and I'll write a letter for you to send back to Liaoning." ”

"No."
