Wei Fangyun picked up the official document, but didn't read it.

"You quarreled with Lord Cao from Weishan County?" His expression was casual, as if he were talking about something inconsequential.

"It really contradicted Lord Cao." Meng Changqing said, "But I don't think Master Cao should care about me as a child." ”

Wei Fangyun smiled helplessly: "You don't know, he came to me to sue you." ”

"I wonder what Master Cao said? I don't know what my uncle thinks of me now? ”

"Cao Hongxing this person, has always had a bad temper, he was famous in the local area when he was young, he was lifted in his teens, and three years later he passed the provincial examination, but then he took the examination seven times before he was admitted to the Jinshi, but the ranking on the list is not high, although there is a small amount of money at home, but there is no way to make a point, so he came to Liangzhou to be a county official.

So he couldn't get used to it......" Wei Fangyun stopped in time.

Meng Changqing continued: "He can't get used to people like me. ”

Wei Fangyun said: "He has a misunderstanding about you. ”

"If it's a misunderstanding, it's good to solve it later."

Meng Changqing smiled on the surface, but he was thinking in his heart: Cao Hongxing's relationship is not hard, and he doesn't know how to be patient.

The top bosses think that he has a bad temper, but he has no relationship to support him, unless he can make miraculous achievements, don't think about promotion in this life.

Wei Fangyun nodded, opened the official document in his hand, and looked at it, only seeing the fifth line, his brows furrowed.

He wanted to speak several times and stopped, but he still read all of them before speaking, "As you wrote in the article, the reason why Beishan County is poor is because of many disasters.

I don't think so.

The reason why it is so poor is because of the war.

Obviously, these two years have been good years, and the grain harvested in Quping County and Luojiang County can be sufficient, but Beishan County has been invaded by the Yan army from time to time, and even if the seeds are given to the people on credit, they have not harvested. ”

Wei Fangyun sighed, and then said: "There are smart people who run up the mountain, and they can build a wall by themselves to resist the robbery of the Yan army, but they can also maintain their lives.

The homeless people you see are people who can't go up the mountain or who have been driven out of the mountain. ”

"I've seen the shelter on the hill from afar." Meng Changqing said, "The Yan army can't go up, and the Liangzhou army can't go up either." ”

"Yes, after most of them are sinners, they already have a grudge against the court, not to mention that they have been struggling in the war for many years."

Wei Fangyun clicked on the article on the table, "So you want to cross these dangerous mountains and re-select the site of the city wall, I agree with this." ”

Previously, there had been the idea of building a city wall in Yegou, so that the people living there would no longer have to be harassed by the enemy, and secondly, they could block another layer outside the city wall of Yangmen County.

The old site of the city wall is between several dangerous mountains, and originally only a city wall six or seven miles long was built to connect the dangerous mountains on both sides to resist the Yan army.

In most people's eyes, it was a great place to build a wall.

But to do anything, there is the right time, place, and people, and it is difficult to do one thing without one.

To build a wall there is a lack of men.

It's hard to predict what the composition of those people in the mountains is now.

However, the Liangzhou Mansion organized the construction of the city wall several times, but they destroyed it and failed to complete it in the end.

Wei Fangyun told Meng Changqing about the example of previous years, he said, "Building the city wall of Beishan County is a necessary thing, but it is extremely difficult to do. ”

Yes, to entrust such a tricky matter to a child who is fourteen years old, I don't know what you and the emperor think.

Meng Changqing said nicely, "Since it has to be done, why bother whether it is difficult or not." ”

"Good!" Wei Fangyun stood up, "You are indeed General Meng's son!" ”

He walked out from behind the desk and pulled Meng Changqing to sit down on the chair next to him, "Tell me, where are you going to choose a site?" How to build? ”

"I plan to start at the intersection of Weishan Pass and the city wall of Weishan County in the south two miles, and repair it to the beginning of the city wall of Hongjia County."

"What!" Wei Fangyun's eyes widened, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”

"You know, I have estimated the distance, and the distance between the two places is about forty miles."

Wei Fangyun stood up and turned around several times, he looked at Meng Changqing from time to time, saw her expression calm, and asked, "Are you sure that it can be built?" ”

"Yes!"

Wei Fangyun turned around sharply and walked quickly to the wall, where a map of Liangzhou City was pasted.

"Changqing, come here."

When Meng Changqing walked in front of him, Wei Fangyun's fingers were excitedly drawn on the map, "If you build this wall, then Liangzhou will have 330,000 acres of land!" ”

"Yes." Meng Changqing's finger also took a place on the map, and he said while making a comparison, "If the city wall is built on the original site, aside from other unfavorable factors, just talk about the area, it is only about 140,000 mu, and it also contains a lot of mountainous land."

Why don't you include the plains outside the dangerous mountains for arable land, which was originally the land of my girder. ”

"That's right! If the city wall can be in the place you mentioned, not only will the area of Beishan County be greatly increased, but the west side of Hongjia County will no longer be harassed by the ghost soldiers of the Yan army. ”

"Your Excellency is right."

Wei Fangyun took a deep breath, "Very good!" Your idea is good! But can it be built?

It took two years to build the city wall of Weishan County, and the wall was fourteen miles long. The wall you're going to build is forty miles, how many years do you plan to build it? ”

Meng Changqing said: "Two months. ”

"What did you say?" Wei Fangyun suspected that something was wrong with his ears.

"I mean, it's going to take two months." Meng Changqing repeated it again.

Wei Fangyun smiled and shook his head, "What are you kidding." ”

"Uncle, I'm not kidding." Meng Changqing said, "It is not impossible to build it in two months, but I only need to be given 200,000 stone of grain, 40,000 servants, 3,000 to 10,000 sets of various tools, 100,000 tons of coal, 50,000 catties of frostbite medicine, trauma medicine, and typhoid medicine, and 100,000 catties of cotton wool and cloth." ”

Meng Changqing reported while watching the corners of Wei Fangyun's mouth slowly fall.

"Uncle." Meng Changqing emphasized, "Although I am young, I am not a person who can joke about national affairs.

I didn't want to set two months for myself, but Yan Jun, and only left us two months.

They would not allow us to erect a wall in this position, and the terrain beyond the walls, and the rivers passing through it, would not allow them to line up their army.

Therefore, once the cold winter is over, the Yan army has the ability to attack the city on a large scale, and our city walls will never be built. ”

"You have a point." Wei Fang Yun rubbed his fingers, "That's true, only in the winter, when they are trapped in the harassment of Jiemaru and have no time to take care of us......"

Wei Fangyun pondered for a while, then looked up and said, "I know that you must have spent a lot of effort calculating these things, and I also know that if everything goes as you expected, it will be of great benefit to Liang Guo.

But I really can't get what you want. ”
