On the way back to Luoyang, destroyed crops could be seen everywhere.

Some of the fields have already been cooked, and their choice is the same as Shao Xun's, to seize the time to plant a crop of short-term grains, and the harvest will be low at the low point, at least to ensure next year's food rations.

Considering the current situation of a small number of people in the land, it is even possible to plant a little more and harvest a little, so that there will even be some surplus next year.

But there are also some fields that have never been left behind.

The owner did not know if he was dead or had escaped.

The ending of the two is actually similar, and the person who escaped must be discouraged and disappointed in Luoyang and even the entire Henan County, and the family moved south and never came back.

In times of chaos, it is normal for some people to leave and some to stay.

Someone outside the Jianchun Gate was sweeping up the ashes.

When the soldiers retreated, in order to block the pursuers, they set fire everywhere. After many people and scholars who fled home, they found that their homes were gone, and their valuable belongings were gone.

Life this year is destined to be difficult for them.

Shao Xun led hundreds of people into the city, hugging each other in front and back, mighty and mighty.

Some of the volunteers have left one after another.

Shao Xun did not treat them badly, and divided some of the looted property so that they would not return empty-handed.

But there are still some people who are willing to stay, about one or two hundred, and the polarization is very obvious, either Xiangcheng Yong boy, or ranger criminals.

The title of the Volunteer Army was not revoked, and Shao Xun appointed a man named Man Yu as the overseer.

This person is seventeen years old, a generation of military households, a native of Nanjun, who has been good at fish hunting since he was a child, and is good at shooting boats with bows.

and the kings of Sima fought and were requisitioned, and after the defeat, they fell into the grass in Xiangcheng, and gathered more than 20 people around them.

Yu is not willing to be a small end, and every action must restrain the group of thieves. Wang Mikou realm, he did not defect, but led a group of thieves to fight for the officials and soldiers, obviously with brains and ambitions.

"Lu Yanghou is here."

"It's Lu Yanghou."

"Luoyang has Liangzhou Aoyi and the Silver Spear Army, which is as stable as Mount Tai."

"Well, to be honest, it's just like that. The people in Luoyang City are stable, but my house was burned. ”

"Why can't you stop the thief outside the eight levels?"

"This is to ask Miao Bo, he lost the pass."

There are many idlers in Luoyang City who are full of food and have nothing to do, and this will be the end of the war, and they have recovered from the panic, chattering and talking.

Needless to say, Liangzhou is a wolf.

The 5,000 people brought by Beigong Chun have been rumored to be miraculous inside and outside the city - jokes such as "one hundred and eighty thousand" have begun to spread on a small scale.

Luyang Hou Shaoxun also received some praise. Because he led the army to arrive at the critical moment, he flanked the forbidden army before and after, and broke the thieves - in fact, Shao Xun's credit in the final stage of the Battle of Luoyang was not as great as the forbidden army who went out of the city to storm the thief camp, but who let him save Luoyang before and became famous, Luoyang people are happy to discover his various deeds, even if the credit of others is slightly greater than his.

Shao Xun rode quietly through the streets, and after a while, he arrived at Situ's Mansion, and after sending someone to report, he quickly entered, obviously Wang Yan had informed the servants.

Today, he was the only one who came, and Lu Zhi temporarily rushed back to Guangchengze to help deal with the trouble caused by the state servants of the five counties.

"Situ has entered the palace?" After being led to the study and sat down, Shao Xun asked.

"Exactly." The servant didn't reveal much information, but said, "The prince can wait a while." ”

Shao Xun nodded and waited silently.

This is Wang Yan's house, but I can't see Wang Dun anymore. Knowing this, it was better to go to the Wang family's courtyard and wait, maybe I could meet Wang Dun and see what he looked like now.

After putting away his thoughts, he observed the furnishings of the study.

On the whole, it is very plain, there is no excessive decoration, there are a lot of books, it seems that Wang Yan is also a person who can't release the volume, no wonder he can become the first cannon in this era, there is no order in his stomach, and he can't win the debate.

It occurred to him that most of the books of this era were hidden in the homes of such scholars.

They have a monopoly on knowledge, and this is the greatest confidence and the greatest value of the united front.

Moreover, they have mastered not only literary knowledge, but also knowledge of military, agriculture, arithmetic, astronomy, latitude, management, etc.

Yesterday, Shao Xun and Lu Zhi discussed the problems that emerged in the resettlement of government soldiers, and he did not have enough manpower to handle the "easier land" alone.

The so-called land is easier, that is, when allocating fields, some land is fertile, some land is thin, some are close to the canal, some are far away from the canal, and so on.

The solution is to compensate.

In fact, in the Tang Dynasty, there was a kind of "double giving" policy - not necessarily doubling the giving, but according to the actual situation, more or less compensate in quantity to make up for the lack of quality.

Not everyone can handle this kind of thing well, in fact, the requirements for ability are not low, not only need you to know a little agricultural knowledge, but also have requirements for management, eloquence, human sophistication and other aspects.

The point is that there is still a great demand for such talents, and not one or two are enough.

Shao Xun can handle it himself, but he is alone, and he can take care of everything?

At present, less than 30 of the student soldiers trained over the years are suitable for management positions, and they are still accumulating experience in Zhuwubao.

After a round of rotation in the dock fort post, Shao Xun will arrange for them to go to the county to get in touch with more comprehensive affairs and further improve their abilities.

It has become inevitable to cooperate with scholars, and his talent gap is too big.

The student cadres were just a tool for him to lower the price of the scholars and prevent them from opening their mouths.

A figure flashed outside the study.

Shao Xun glanced at the rest of his eyes and saw only the back of a tall girl.

No, to be exact, I only saw a touch of the buttocks, which is amazing.

From March last year to May this year, the accumulated inventory was only sent out twice on Song Yi, which would bring the war to a halt, and his heart was a little ready to move.

Song Yi's appearance is really amazing.

In terms of face, among so many women Shao Xun has seen, only Queen Sheep can be compared.

This level of beauty can almost make him ignore Song Yi's identity.

And although there is no excitement brought by identity, Song Yi is very tight, and his talent is even better.

In the future, it will definitely be a beautiful thing to form a private band and let them play only for themselves to relieve fatigue.

I waited quietly for a while, and soon, there was a sound of talking and laughter not far away, and I occasionally heard the word "Jingfeng".

A moment later, the girl passed by again and glanced at Shao Xun curiously.

Shao Xun smiled handsomely.

The girl sneered and hurried away.

"Prince."

"Situ."

Wang Yan came soon, and after the two finished the salute, they sat opposite each other.

After some talking, one big and one small fox quickly got to the point.

"Wang Mi's rebellion, the prince won consecutive battles, and made great contributions, and the court will definitely have a reward, or you can mention your food." On this occasion, Wang Yan no longer went around in circles, and said bluntly: "From a sub-marquis to a big marquis, increase the number of households by 200." Don't think about it, Beigong Chun is the first merit, and there is no official reward. The people of Liangzhou also got some money. ”

Shao Xun thought about it, this is indeed something that the imperial court can do.

"What else?" He asked.

"And a reward of a few thousand dollars of silk."

"Situ." Shao Xun was a little dissatisfied: "The soldiers of Liangzhou will leave Beijing sooner or later, and it is not certain that they will not come next time." And I live in Liang County, there is something in the court, when did I not come to King Qin? ”

Wang Yan's face was expressionless, but he was secretly annoyed in his heart.

This kid is getting harder and harder to handle, and besides, he can make a lot more trouble than Beigong Chun and others.

The imperial court did not give the meritorious Beigong Chun knighthood, and the more than 100 warriors who rushed into battle that day were only rewarded with a little money and silk, and the people did not cry or make trouble, and accepted it calmly, and they were extremely loyal.

But Shao Xun is not good at fooling like this, he is really good at making trouble, and he is really domineering.

Moreover, he is right, Liangzhou is thousands of miles away, the road is far away, and it is not easy to come once.

If there is still war next year, it is difficult to say whether they will be able to come.

But Shao Xun is in Henan County, if something really happens, far water can't quench his thirst, so he still has to give priority to appeasing him.

"What do you want?" Wang Yan asked.

"Let Lu Zhi and Lu Zidao be the guards of Xiangcheng." Shao Xun said: "The original Taishou abandoned the land and fled, and he has been exempted from the office, and Lu Zhi happened to take over. ”

Wang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, this request was not too much, but he would not agree so easily, and continued to entangle: "The duty of guarding the prime minister, how important-"

"Situ!" Shao Xun accentuated his tone and said: "The seven counties of Xiangcheng are plagued by thieves, and there are still a few remnants of bandits, and ordinary people can't do it. ”

"You!" Wang Yan's eyes widened.

His character is easy not to get angry with others. If you cooperate, you will benefit both sides, and if you don't agree, you will disperse, even if you really want to engage in one person, you will not openly tear your face, but kill people invisibly.

But when facing Shao Xun, many methods can't be used.

really tear his face, Shao Xun will definitely be very uncomfortable, and he won't even be able to raise so many soldiers. But things will definitely get out of hand, and if there is something in Luoyang in the future, don't want to shout at him.

Will there be anything going on in Luoyang in the future? Wang Yan feels that things will only get more and more.

In other words, Shao Xun's importance has greatly increased.

But this person's domineering strength is really uncomfortable, and he actually threatened the new Taishou sent to Xiangcheng, which made Wang Yan speechless.

Shao Xun used to be domineering, but he didn't get to this point.

This guy is really watching the dishes. The court showed a little fatigue, and he raised the price.

"Situ." Shao Xun changed his tone again and said with a smile: "The place in Xiangcheng, I am in charge of Situ." Train some soldiers in your spare time, Luoyang has something to do, so you have to go north to ensure the safety of the imperial court. On the other hand, there is a very beautiful place on the northern edge of Guangchengze, backed by mountains and water, surrounded by long causeways, and shaded by green trees. In spring, the flowers are in full bloom, and the ...... is full of glory."

"Alright." Wang Yanzhen couldn't help him, so he waved his hand to stop it.

First explain your own value, it is the most reliable force near Luoyang, and you must use me.

If you threaten again, Xiangcheng is too guarded by others to do it.

In the end, the soft one came and picked a scenic spot next to Guangchengze for you. In other words, it is possible to build a manor.

Don't say it, this really makes Wang Yan excited.

The courtyard of his house was in a mess by the thieves, and after thinking about it, the suburbs of Luoyang are still a little dangerous, and it is obviously better to build a new one in Guangchengze.

The family is a big family, and it is not possible to do without a manor annex.

"Lu Zidao has been a middle school secretary, and he can indeed be appointed as the Taishou of Xiangcheng." Thinking of this, Wang Yan finally relented and said, "What's more, let's talk about it together, so that you don't have to bother the old man again." ”

"Huang Biao and Li Chong are brave and good at fighting, and have made many meritorious achievements, so they can be generals." Shao Xun said again.

"Yes." Wang Yan nodded.

This is all a trivial matter, if you don't give it to an official, people are also officials in fact - for ordinary people, it is a big thing to change the class, in Wang Yan's eyes, it is hardly worth mentioning.

"One last thing." Shao Xun continued: "The servant suggested that the imperial court come forward and organize the people, villagers, and fort households to rush to plant miscellaneous grains, and after harvesting, plant winter wheat instead. ”

"That's it?" Wang Yan was a little surprised.

"It's a big deal!" Shao Xun Zhengse said: "This year's spring millet, the harvest is afraid of being greatly affected, now rush to plant the genus of beans, and then plant wheat after harvesting, and it can be harvested in May and June of the next year." Wang Mi has been defeated, and it may be fine in the short term, but what about next year? If you have food in your hands, you will not panic in your heart, and after harvesting the wheat, even if the enemy comes to attack, you can hold on for a long time. ”

"In these days, there ......are very few people who grow rice and wheat," Wang Yan hesitated: "Grinding wheat is also a troublesome matter." ”

"Situ is confused." Shao Xun said unceremoniously: "No matter how unpalatable the wheat rice is, it is better than being hungry." ”

Wang Yan thought about it and nodded slightly.

Wang Mi made such a fuss, and grain production in many places will inevitably decrease this year, so we really have to think of a way.

"Actually, it's not just Luoyang." Shao Xun said again: "Perhaps the imperial court can send a document to the five prefectures of Si, Henan, Yan, Xu, and Qing, and order them to start this matter." ”

"Is this necessary?" Wang Yan wondered.

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace and take precautions." Shao Xun replied.

"Just do it in Sizhou." Wang Yan vetoed it, but not completely.

"That's fine." Shao Xun sighed.

It's also good to be able to implement this in Sizhou.

Looking at the current situation, the Xiongnu have not even laid down the two counties of Hedong and Pingyang, and even if they go south next year, they will not come too early.

As long as it does not come before June, the winter wheat will be harvested in various parts of Sizhou, and the stocks will be greatly replenished.

On the contrary, if we still follow the old tradition, next year "plant a grain of millet in the spring and harvest 10,000 seeds in the autumn", in case the Xiongnu go south before the autumn harvest, it will be miserable.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if the Xiongnu did not catch up with the autumn harvest, what if there is a drought and locust plague next year?

Summers are warm enough for locusts to grow in large numbers, while winters are almost none.

Summer droughts are much more frequent than in the other three seasons.

Compared with millet, overwintering wheat has a lower risk of disasters and higher yields, making it an ideal crop for risk avoidance.

"It's really rare for you to be a martial artist and care so much about the livelihood of the people." After finalizing the matter, Wang Yan made a joke.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband." Shao Xun said solemnly: "I really can't bear to see unbearable things like starvation all over the wilderness. ”

"Whoa!" Before Wang Yan could say anything, there was a movement behind the bookshelf, followed by the sound of footsteps quietly moving away.

Wang Huifeng walked ahead, with a curious look on his face.

Wang Jingfeng was a little annoyed, and kept saying, "Sister, you really don't blame me. Lu Yanghou said this was so funny, I couldn't help it. ”

Wang Huifeng ignored her, still thinking about the words of Lu Yanghou.

Although he is a soldier, he also cares about the livelihood of the people, which is much better than many prodigal scholars.
