After the event, Xiao Tingsheng instructed the officials of the yamen to register the documents for the military households.

He himself sometimes does it himself.

Dozens of yamen swordsmen and pen officials, master books, etc., all set up posts and registered the military households one by one, and the heads of each household, age, address, and family address were clearly remarked.

The Department of Military Affairs stipulates:

Every morning, all the reserve sergeants of all military households must go to the grass outside the pier for early training to improve their physical fitness.

In the future, I will have to practice swords, guns, formations, especially winter training, etc. in my free time.

In the following days, with the successive migration of disaster victims in the Central Plains, the Military Affairs Department continued to gather personnel, prepared various materials and tools, and prepared to build forts and camps.

In order to solve the problem of more than 200,000 people in Yuyang for winter, there must be enough camps and forts.

After the New Year, after the beginning of spring.

Xiao Tingsheng and his military affairs department carried out large-scale land reclamation, built canals, and promoted crop cultivation.

Through the local tenants, he invited agricultural technicians for each subordinate office, even the big tunpu.

The chief technician has 10 gold baht per month, which is equivalent to 10 taels of silver, and the assistant technician has 5 gold baht per month.

The Military Affairs Department, subordinate offices, and tunpu also provide food and lodging.

This condition is completely comparable to the monthly salary of the eight-grade officials in the yamen, and these technicians are of course happy in their hearts.

An old farmer who has been farming for decades suddenly became a master, eating and drinking for nothing and taking gold baht, which is respected.

This... What kind of world is this?

Xiao Tingsheng said to everyone, this is the call of the imperial court, the prince's decree, to respect all craftsmen.

With the strong support of the prince in terms of food, materials and money, it is not very difficult for the Military Affairs Department to implement it.

However, after the personnel are in place, according to the requirements of the military hall, large and small castles must be built on the border line, relying on the Great Wall, to establish a defensive line.

To build a strong castle, you need a lot of stone bars, and they are all square and neat, so that you can build it.

In addition to the stone bars, there should also be lime.

According to the report submitted by the Military Affairs Department, these princes asked the Ministry of Industry to support a group of stonemasons.

The Ministry of Industry is also building a lime kiln in Yuyang County to solve the local lime supply.

After Kaichun said, the Yamen of the Military Affairs Department set up subordinate branches such as the Tun and Bao Bureaus, and appointed a number of chief officers of the various offices, tun and forts.

In other words, the Yuyang Military Affairs Department has only officially started trial operation since the beginning of spring this year, and the past winter was actually the convening and resettlement of the victims.

With regard to timber for construction, they set up several logging homes around Xiaoyin Mountain

field, providing timber for the various offices of the Military Affairs Department and the tunpu.

As for the stone needed to build the castle, the stonemasons of the Ministry of Works decided to develop it themselves.

He had already inspected the side branches of the Xiaoyin Mountain Range, and there were many stone mountains, and they decided to establish a stone quarry and mine it themselves.

The stone excavated from the stone mountain, in addition to the whole regular stone that can be chiseled,

It is actually a lot of irregular small pieces, which the stonemasons call crushed stone.

Make the most of these rubble to build the city.

The head of the Ministry of Industry also asked the families of military households to use bamboo, wooden sticks and hemp rope to weave into rectangular blue seeds of uniform specifications, load them with gravel, and fill the gaps in the stones with rammed earth to form stone strips.

Use these crushed stones and stone strips to build a stone wall.

This creative move stunned the stonemasons, carpenters and managers present.

This is indeed a good policy, saving labor, material and time.

For a time, on the road of more than 20 miles from the stone mountain, the lumberyard to the tiger prison, there was an endless stream of mule-drawn carts and ox carts dragging wooden stones.

The quarry, lumber yard and city construction site are bustling with activity.

Xiao Tingsheng sorted out these materials and asked the documents in the department to be copied and filed in a classified manner so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could review them.

……

In early June, the climate officially enters a state of hot summer.

In the area of Yuyang, Youzhou, the sun is like fire.

The scorching sun poured heat furiously, as if trying to vaporize everything.

On the pavement of the gravel-paved Sanhe dirt road, there was a smell of burning, and the sweat drops of walking passers-by poured down, making an inaudible swishing sound, and disappeared in an instant.

On this hot and humid day, not to mention people, even dogs stuck out their tongues and lay down in the shade of the trees, and when they saw someone coming, they raised their heads and barked a few times, and then lazily lay down.

But in such weather, Xiao Tingsheng, the left commander of the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of War, was wearing a purple official robe and a black gauze official hat.

He led a group of officials, generals and colonels in the yamen of the Military Affairs Department to stand respectfully in the shade of the roadside trees outside the ancient city of Yuyang, looking forward to it.

Just now, I visited the Malay newspaper and said that it was the prince's Chinese army camp at noon, and he only took a short rest at the Yuyang Ancient Road Station, and arrived at the ancient city of Yuyang in about an hour.

The Yamen of the Military Affairs Department is in the ancient city of Yuyang.

The 5,000 iron horsemen of the vanguard battalion of the hussar general Mai Tiecane, the leader of the forbidden army, had arrived in Yuyang early in the morning and cleared and guarded the field outside the ancient city in advance.

The afternoon weather was so hot and humid that everyone here was sweaty and wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

But despite this, no one dared to show their clothes.

Today is an extremely important day for the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of War.

The prince of the empire and the prince of the prison country made a special trip from Chang'an and Kyoto, not far from 2,000 miles.

This made Xiao Tingsheng very nervous.

Since the beginning of winter last year, the Military Affairs Department of the Ministry of War has issued an edict in front of the east gate of the Beijing Division, and the 2,000-mile migration, more than 200,000 disaster victims, and more than 10,000 sergeants are responsible for escorting grain, clothing, farm tools, and cattle.

The resettlement was carried out throughout the winter, and the work began in earnest in the spring of this year, irrigating the land and sowing some crops.

The geographical location here is special, the traffic is not convenient, and it belongs to the jurisdiction of Youzhou.

Zhao Shijun, the head of the soldiers and horses of Youzhou Province and the assassin of Youzhou, has never come to Yuyang County to inspect so far.

On the contrary, the prince came from Chang'an, two thousand miles away, and took the lead in inspecting.

Xiao Tingsheng knew that the prince was coming more than ten days in advance, and he repeatedly checked the work effectiveness of the following institutes and Tunpu.

He thought that he had done a good job, not only did he rule the government clearly, the organizational structure was basically completed, and the resettlement of the victims was completed.

Still, he was worried.

Because he was a guilty person after all, he was originally Cao Qichang's descendant, and he had previously resisted cooperating with the prince.

Although Cao Fu has fallen, he is definitely not a close confidant of the prince.

If you are not politically secure, the chair under your ass will be unstable.

Shrewd people will find that if the prince is not satisfied with the results of his inspection, or finds out what is wrong, then the days of this left admiral will be over.

This time, the prince of the prison country made an unprecedented expedition for the first time, and did not stay in Jinyang Mansion and other places for more than a day, but went directly to Yuyang.

This shows that Yuyang, the military affairs department, has a very heavy weight in the heart of the prince of the prison country.
