The defense officer of the Qianhu Office in front of Xiahezhai is the Qianhu official, which is already the largest Shangguan that Liu Yan can contact at this stage, and the defense officer Zhang Hailin came to inspect, this matter is not trivial.

It was no one else who came to give Liu Yan his heart, but Wang Weizhen, the officer in charge of the team.

Wang Weizhen took Jia Hongyu and two family members all the way to the horse, several people were already sweating profusely, after seeing Liu Yan, they didn't care about greetings, Wang Weizhen directly pulled Liu Yan into the house, and said the matter as soon as he came up, and then asked: "Liu Zongqi, you give me a bottom, what is the progress of the military tun in Dapandun, before the defense officer Lord Zhang comes, I must have a bottom in my heart!" ”

Liu Yan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

At this time, there are many troops in Daming, if you look at the data on paper, there will definitely be no shortage of food in all parts of Daming, and even a huge amount of grain should be accumulated every year, and there should be no famine in various places.

But what about the real situation?

These military tun data reported to Shangguan generally have great moisture, obviously only 1,000 mu of cultivated land, but after reporting to Shangguan, it can be written as 1,500 mu.

Obviously, after working every year, he can only save a few hundred catties of rations, and even because of the barren land and lack of manpower, there will be a situation where he cannot make ends meet, but when he reported it to Shangguan, it turned into a bumper harvest, and the barns everywhere were full.

Wang Weizhen knew these shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty at this time, so when he reported the implementation of the military tun in Dapandun to the Qianqian Household Office of Xiahe Village, he was still cautious, and just added the data reported by Liu Yan to an imaginary number.

At this time, Liu Yan looked at the anxious Wang Weizhen, and said with a smile: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, my Dapandun military tun is a real thing, and all the data reported to the management team are real numbers, without the slightest falsehood and moisture." ”

Wang Weizhen obviously didn't believe it, and Jia Hongyu on the side said in a low voice: "I said brother, there are only three of us in this house, you tell the truth, so that I and the management team can help you cover up the past." ”

Liu Yan couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said: "I am telling the truth, since I, Liu Yan, took the initiative to stand up and be a military tun, the purpose is to relieve the worries of the adults in the management team, and fight for some money and food for the brothers of the Dun army, and I can't make some imaginary numbers." ”

Seeing that what Liu Yan said did not seem to be false, Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief. However, Wang Weizhen still proposed to go to Juntun to have a look, and Liu Yan also readily agreed, and took the two of them directly to Juntun on the side of Xitongqu.

The words are divided into two ends, one for each table.

After Liu Yan handed over the Tunqing document book of Dapandun for filing, Zhang Hailin, who received the data reported by Wang Weizhen, the official of the Wangjiazhuang management team, was very surprised, and thought of going to Dapandun to inspect it to see if Liu Yan's Tunpu results were true. Later, due to the many affairs, it was not until today that he brought people with him.

The defensive officer Zhang Hailin and his entourage are very huge, in addition to dozens of guards, the hundred households Xun Hu in the tuntian in the management office of the Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village also followed, and even brought some officials and followers in the Qianhu office, and there were nearly 100 people in this line.

When the team passed through Wangjiazhuang, Wang Weizhen, the team manager, and others had been waiting for a long time, and they all stepped forward to meet the defense officer Zhang Hailin, Zhang Hailin smiled faintly, encouraged everyone a few words, and let everyone accompany them to inspect Dapandun together.

When everyone arrived at Dapandun, they saw Liu Yan with Chen Xun, Wang Yue, Miao Shao, Xu Ming, as well as Zhang Yi, Wang Bo and other dun troops had gathered outside the fort and greeted Zhang Hailin and his party.

At this time, Zhang Hailin was still wearing a thousand-household official uniform, wearing a unicorn bronze medal around his waist, and he was riding on a fat horse, but Liu Yan noticed that Zhang Hailin seemed to be a little sickly, as if he had not rested well, and his face was a little pale.

However, after Zhang Hailin got off the horse, he first comforted the people of Dapandun, his demeanor was still calm, his eyes were still sharp, Liu Yanguanzhi didn't think much about it, but respectfully arched his hand and said: "The defense lord is coming to Dapandun, and the lowly position and Dapandun are excited. ”

Zhang Hailin smiled faintly and nodded in agreement, and entered the Dapandun under the leadership of Liu Yan.

Zhang Hailin and others visited the barracks, granaries, forage fields, and arsenals in the pier one by one, of course, the room of the soap workshop was locked at this time, and the door was blocked by Liu Yan with a firewood pile.

Although these facilities are very old, and even a few places can be seen to be repaired later, but without exception, all of them are neatly aligned, and the sanitation in the pier is also very clean.

Looking at their approving looks, Liu Yan and the others were of course also proud. And Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu were very determined, and they followed Zhang Hailin and said a few words from time to time, "contributing to Liu Yan's political achievements". Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu knew very well in their hearts that only Liu Yan passed the test smoothly, and even received Zhang Hailin's appreciation, and the two of them themselves could be appreciated by Shangguan, and now the two and Liu Yan are one with each other.

However, now there is no fort wall built outside the Dapandun, and some of the nests are directly and neatly built outside, Zhang Hailin inquired when he saw this, and learned that Liu Yan was going to build the fort wall of the tunpu in the next step, so he said to Xun Hu, the official in charge of the tun, "It is not easy for Liu Zongqi to be here in Tuntian, and you need a lot of support as a Shangguan." ”

Xun Hu said with a smile: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely support you." ”

Then Xun Hu said to Liu Yan: "Liu Zongqi just let it go, come to me when you encounter difficulties, as long as we can help, I will do my best." ”

Liu Yan hurriedly thanked him.

After looking at the dun, Zhang Hailin and others went to the Nanhe River to see the famous big waterwheel of the big plate, everyone was very interested, obviously very curious about this big waterwheel.

Liu Yan didn't expect that the reputation of this big waterwheel had spread to the Qianhu in front of Xiahe Village, so he followed Zhang Hailin's side and introduced it, Zhang Hailin was even more curious after hearing it, so he beckoned everyone to get on the horse and go to have a look.

So Zhang Hailin, Xun Hu and his party rode horses, and most of them couldn't follow. Liu Yan took Wang Yue and Chen Xun to follow, and the rest of the dun army stayed in the dun.

Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu both rode horses at this time, but both of them slowed down and followed behind, marching with Liu Yan and others.

"Mr. Liu, is it really okay?"

Liu Yan laughed secretly in his heart, and then said, "Didn't the master of the management team already go to see Juntun?" Rest assured, your subordinates are sure to be foolproof! ”

"That's good, that's good!"

Soon, Zhang Hailin and his entourage came to the military tun in the area of Xitong Canal, and went straight to the bank of the Nanhe River, where the huge waterwheel stood by the river, which was very spectacular.

When they saw this huge waterwheel more than ten meters high for the first time, Zhang Hailin and the others were taken aback, obviously shocked.

Looking at the big waterwheel that was turning, constantly leading the river water to the canal, Zhang Hailin kept asking Liu Yan with interest, and when he heard that the irrigation capacity of this waterwheel reached 300 acres, Zhang Hailin's eyes suddenly lit up, and he intended to promote the method of this waterwheel to the rest of the Tunpu.

However, when Zhang Hailin heard that the cost of this waterwheel was as high as one hundred taels, his eyes darkened again.

At last he looked closely at the waterwheel, and from time to time he marveled. Xun Hu and Wang Weizhen were all by Zhang Hailin's side, and they also heard the conversation between Zhang Hailin and Liu Yan. However, it is not as good as Zhang Hailin, Xun Hu looked at Liu Yan with a strange look in his eyes, obviously thinking: "Such an expensive waterwheel is also built, this Liu Yan is really a loser, where did he get so much silver?" ”

But then Xun Hu looked at Wang Weizhen on the side, and was relieved: "It must be Wang Weizhen's full support!" It's really unexpected, in order to show off in front of the defending adults, you Wang Weizhen actually pushed Liu Yan, a small armor chief, out as a banner, and his thoughts are really deep enough! ”

After seeing this big waterwheel, Liu Yan accompanied Zhang Hailin and others to see the cultivated land that had been reclaimed in Dapandun.

A group of people walked beside the Xitong Canal, fields, canals, irrigation wells, and military households that were busy cultivating in the fields, Zhang Hailin looked at them one by one, and nodded and praised from time to time, this Liu Yan voluntarily asked for orders to come to the reclamation, it is indeed very capable, and he has made so many achievements in a short period of time, which makes Zhang Hailin appreciate Liu Yan more and more, if the officials of other tunpu have Liu Yan so concerned, then the situation of the tuntian in the thousand households will be better and better.

At this time, Zhang Hailin remembered something and asked: "I heard from Lord Wang, the officer of the team, that your spring plowing in Dapandun Juntun has been delayed?" Liu Yan: The cultivated cattle in your mound are sufficient? ”

Liu Yan arched his hand and said: "Lord Qiyu, the spring ploughing here is indeed a little late, mainly because these military cultivated land is newly reclaimed, which takes a lot of time. But now, with the strong support of the officer Wang of the management team, the cattle and seeds on this side are also ready, and the spring ploughing has been launched in a hurry, and it is now grabbing the sky. ”

Listening to Liu Yan's reply, Wang Weizhen on the side suddenly smiled, Zhang Hailin looked over when he heard the words, and praised Wang Weizhen a few words, Wang Weizhen suddenly came to the spirit, and Zhengse hugged his fists impassionedly for a while, which was very limelight.

Seeing this, Guan Tunguan Xun Hu's face was a little unsightly, and he snorted softly, which happened to be noticed by Liu Yan.

After Zhang Hailin and his entourage inspected a circle, they left here in the afternoon and returned to the Qianqian Household Office in Xiahe Village.

Back in the house, Wang Weizhen praised Liu Yan, and then said: "In the future, I will increase the purchase price of soap by one penny of silver, and in the future, it will be according to four coins of silver!" ”

Liu Yan was overjoyed: "How good is this, it's not easy for adults." ”

"Haha, that's it, anyway, those officials also have money."

Jia Hongyu on the side said with a smile: "Brother, you don't know, the guard officer Zhang is sick, it is said to be a terminal illness, and the position of the guard officer will be vacant sooner or later." There must be some adjustment in the front thousand households of Xiahe Village, and the seats of the deputy thousand households will also be vacated at that time. Our master of the management team and Xun Hu, the official in the Qianhu office, are secretly competing, and they are all staring at this shortage, so your performance today has given the adults enough face, and you deserve this money and silver! ”

Wang Weizhen laughed and waved his hand, and Liu Yan also understood, it turned out that the two were competitors.

On the same day, Wang Weizhen and Jia Hongyu hurriedly went back, reportedly to contact the big customers who ordered soap next month, but Liu Yan did not keep them.

In the following days, more than a dozen military households came one after another, and they were also settled by Liu Yan one by one, either to reclaim the surrounding wasteland, or to do what they could in the pier.
