In the midst of the mountains and rivers, a dock fort appeared in front of me.

Dock forts and dock forts are not the same.

Like Zhao Gu, Shangguan Si and others established a dock fort by the Yellow River, it is actually a simple earthen enclosure.

More high-end dock forts, such as the historic Yunzhongwu, even mined nearby marble to serve as a staircase down the mountain.

Yubi City is not big, in terms of shape, it is about the same as the largest batch of dock forts (comparable to the smaller ones in the county), but Gao Huan went to the top, and 70,000 people died and did not take it.

The safety of the dock fort depends on whether the terrain is dangerous, whether the materials are solid, whether the guards are complete, and whether the military and civilians are united.

Not long after the completion of the Golden Gate Dock, the materials are relatively solid.

The whole is located on the mountainside, and "the mountain is solid". There is also a spring flowing into it, which is similar to the mountain fortress built by the Goguryeo people on the top of the mountain.

The second non-commissioned officers of the Silver Lance Army stationed at Jinmenwu saw Shao Xun and his party from a distance.

After Tang Jian sent people to spread the word, the team immediately went down the mountain to greet them.

"Master Shao." Lu Heigou and Hou Feihu bowed and saluted.

"See General." Hundreds of soldiers struck the ground with spears and shouted in unison.

"No need to be polite." Shao Xun dismounted from afar, and then picked up the somewhat struggling Le Shi from the horse, and said with a smile.

Le's face was a little red, he brushed the sideburns around his ears slightly, and bowed his head and said nothing.

Shao Xun's hand touched her chest for the first time, as if it was unintentional and as if it was intentional.

Le Shi looked up at Shao Xun.

He was smiling, and his attention was all about the hundreds of sergeants, and there was nothing unusual about him.

It seems that he did it unintentionally.

Le's didn't know what he was feeling in his heart, so he could only secretly do psychological construction: "I am the slave and maid rewarded to him by the Son of Heaven, and I can't help what he wants to do." ”

"I haven't seen you for half a year, and it seems that the drill has not been pulled down. Before the Chinese New Year, I will check the skills of the others, and the winners will be rewarded. Shao Xun said.

"No!" Hundreds of people responded in unison, and the sound completely drowned out the howling cold wind.

"Back to the mountain." Shao Xun waved his hand, and then took Le's hand and went up the mountain road.

Le Shi was in a daze, and halfway through, he realized that something was missing in his hand, it turned out that he forgot to take the piano and put it in the carriage.

But why didn't you forget to take it just now? These days, I often forget and often can't remember......

Her face was a little red, a little guilty, and a little like crying.

It's only been a few days?

She's not such a strange woman.

But following Shao Xun's side, he was always very passive, and he was disturbed step by step, but he liked this feeling, as if the shackles of his nature that he had suppressed for many years were slowly untied.

"Meet the General!" Dozens of sages and heads of Kinmen Wu saluted together.

One Lixian is in charge of fifty households, and the scope of his authority and responsibility is limited to the interior of the dock fort.

The head of the village is responsible for managing the people of the fort who go out to farm, and they are also responsible for bringing people to the designated place for military training or collective labor during the slack time.

"Today is a festive day, no need to be polite." Shao Xun raised his hands and said.

He glanced at Le Shi out of the corner of his eye, and found that she was standing there calmly, neither nervous nor timid, as if she was used to seeing these scenes.

Only then did he realize that the little slave girl who was often held in his arms in the past few days turned out to be the princess, and she almost died in the world.

Tsk, I really have taste, and I like these high-quality women.

"Master Shao, everything is ready, including the red bean porridge you said." Lu Heigou walked over and reported.

Everyone looked at Shao Xun with expectant eyes.

Don't look at the fact that they are all "officials" who manage dozens of households, in the end, Jinmenwu is still too hard, and the foundation is too thin, so that even they can't talk about how full they are. It is also a temptation for them to eat with their belly open during the New Year's holidays.

Today is the day of La, in addition to the traditional sacrifice to the god of the stove, Shao Xun also ordered the winter solstice to be passed together.

The winter solstice is not a popular festival at this time, and many places don't even have it at all, and there is no later saying that "the winter solstice is as big as a year", but Shao Xun feels that it still has to be passed.

He wasn't sure if he would still be in Jinmenwu for the next few days, so he simply spent two sessions together.

Among the more than 300,000 grains that happened to be transported from Chang'an, there were many grains such as red beans, black beans, and mung beans, and the festival food red bean porridge was available.

"So what are you waiting for?" Shao Xun said: "Farming, drilling, digging rivers, grazing, building dock forts, after a whole year of hard work, shouldn't you have a good meal?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the sages were overjoyed, and then they went to their respective jurisdictions to give orders.

In a few moments, cheers rang out throughout the dock fort.

Shao Xun laughed and pulled Le Shi to his small courtyard.

As soon as she entered, she took Le Shi into her arms and whispered in her ear: "You see how happy they are with the displaced people I have gathered." ”

Le Shi was infected by the joyful emotions of the whole castle, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, even ignoring Shao Xun's hand falling on her hips.

******

In the evening, Shao Xun left the main gate of Wubao and climbed a high slope overlooking the entire river valley.

At the top, he held out his hand.

Leshi hesitated for a moment and handed out his hand. As a result, he was accidentally hugged by Shao Xun as a princess and hugged him full of arms.

I am a slave and maid rewarded by the Son of Heaven, and I can't help it......

Le's face was slightly tangled, and he didn't struggle in the end.

Shao Xun found a dead tree trunk that had fallen to the ground, wiped off the snow, and sat down.

"Fan Yang Wang Yu is dead." Shao Xun suddenly said: "Hebei is going to be chaotic again." ”

Le snorted.

Shao Xun is a little strange, he was once the hostess of Yecheng, why is he not interested in listening to Hebei's affairs?

"As soon as the forbidden army left on the front foot, the back foot was in chaos. Sima Hao was welcomed back to Chang'an, and Liang Liu's soldiers defected, killed him, and surrendered to Sima Hao. Shao Xun said again.

This is actually the main reason why he is not sure if he can still spend the New Year at home, what if Sima Yue wants him to lead the troops to the battle?

Le mumbled again.

Shao Xun was a little strange, and looked down, but saw Le Shi stretching out his slender finger and writing something on the trunk of the tree.

"Le Lanji?" Shao Xun looked at the handwriting on the remnant snow, his face did not move, and he was overjoyed.

Leshi nodded slightly, but soon a trace of sadness appeared between his eyebrows, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Maybe it's because I think of my deceased husband.

Shao Xun didn't take the opportunity to rub the oil, he carefully controlled the situation, and only hugged her slightly.

His advantage is very huge, because Le Lanji is a slave, and psychologically he is no longer defenseless, and it is much easier than other women.

This hunting game has entered the deep waters, but before it is time to pick the fruit, Shao Xun is addicted to it, and the strong sense of satisfaction makes his soul tremble a little.

"Arashi no ...... the mountain," he whispered in Le's ear, "you deserve to belong to this mountain, not to be confined to a tight cage." On Kinmen Mountain, you can unleash your nature, forget all your worries and enjoy the joy to the fullest. ”

Leshi was dizzy from the heat in his ears, and his face seemed to burn.

"Listen, the mountain breeze is greeting you." Shao Xun's voice was like a devil's whisper.

Leshi really listened, and his eyes even showed a little joy, as if he recalled something—maybe it was some experience in girlhood.

The two sat quietly for a long time.

Shao Xun restrained himself, never rubbed the oil, and occasionally hugged him tighter in his arms to help Le's avoid the wind.

When they returned to the small courtyard of Wubao, the atmosphere between the two was obviously different.

Shao Xun sat in front of the desk and checked the data of the first year of Guangxi (306) sent by various docks and manors - after pacifying Sima Hao, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to change the yuan, and this year is the first year of Guangxi.

Yunzhongwu entered the second year of farming, and after applying the manure mixed with the moist silt at the bottom of the river, the yield was quite good, but because the Xianbei people trampled on some of the fields on the north bank of the river, a total of 287 hectares of farmland only harvested more than 66,000 Hu millet - about 30 catties of Hu corn in the first Jin Dynasty.

There are more than 1,600 households, more than 7,500 people, and 282 large and small livestock.

There are more than 1,200 households and more than 5,200 households in Kinmenwu, and about 150 hectares have been reclaimed this year, more than 44,000 poppy have been harvested, and 149 livestock have been raised.

Danshanwu has almost the same household registration, cultivating 160 hectares, collecting more than 47,000 grains and 167 large and small livestock.

Obviously, in the competition, Danshanwu won, so Mao Er got a place to enter Taixue.

Construction of Danshan Dock Fort will also start next year, and it is expected to be completed within a year.

The development of Yushanwu has reached its peak, with an annual harvest of more than 165,000 poppy, which is very stable, and there are more than 820 large and small livestock.

This scale is not the limit of a dock fort, but it is the limit of Yushan Dock, and it may be able to grow a little, but there is not much space.

The dock fort that can really fight grain has to be in the plains - in later generations, Liu Yao attacked Guo Mo Yuhuaicheng, and seized 800,000 grains of corn from a dock fort in his house.

The development of the three estates was subject to many restrictions, and after the summer harvest this year, another crop of miscellaneous grains was planted, and a total of nearly 130,000 grains were harvested throughout the year.

A rough calculation shows that this year's grain shortage is only more than 100,000 hundreds.

Kinmen, Yunzhong, and Danshan all planted overwintering wheat a few months ago, and next year's grain output will increase by a large margin, and there will be a surplus of grain by then.

Considering that I got a lot of money and grain from Chang'an this year, for the first time in several years, I was not trapped by finances. The construction of Danshan Dock next year can even be done without borrowing money from outsiders.

Of course, you still have to borrow.

It is also a skill to be able to borrow money, not to mention that he has to expand his army.

After settling the accounts, Shao Xun was happy in his heart.

Le Lanji stroked Yaoqin, like a wisp of clear water, soothing his somewhat tired nerves.

Shao Xun leaned on the back of Hu's bed and silently looked at Le's who was kneeling in front of the piano.

The body is beautiful, the temperament is elegant, and the delicate face has a faint flush.

At the age of twenty-four, it is the most mature and delicate time for a woman.

He suddenly had the urge to marry this woman.

But he quickly extinguished this thought, I was trying to capture this woman's body and mind, how could I be captured by a woman instead?

Ridiculously ridiculous.
