Jinguen has become a command center.

In the past two months, more and more people have entered and exited the residential garden, and their status has become higher and higher.

The loyal army has slowly grown to more than 4,000 people, and the surplus are the sons and daughters of the national heroes and troops in the counties of Henan, which are scattered into various teams and concentrated drills.

The 6,000 men of the right battalion of the silver spear were also stationed near the Golden Valley Garden and practiced regularly.

Ten days ago, 5,000 Xuchang soldiers arrived.

Five days earlier, five thousand Tuntian troops had arrived.

Three days ago, the Zhongwu Army, under the leadership of Shao Shen, left Jinguyuan and returned to Yiyang to continue their training.

At this point, the number of troops still remaining in Jinguyuan had dropped to 16,000. When they will be dispatched is the moment when this war is really exhausted.

But at least so far, Shao Xun doesn't seem to have any intention of making a big move.

Perhaps it was the location of the four wars that was guarded by troops, and the troops were not enough.

Perhaps the enemy has not yet been fully mobilized and the time is not ripe.

Maybe he had a plan.

In short, he lay leisurely in the bamboo forest of Jingu Garden, practicing martial arts, reading, handling official business, and by the way, he carried out micro-exercises on the front line.

Occasionally, he would meet with outsiders.

"The newly settled people, the family will give me 30 acres of land, at least one horse for me." Shao Xun took a branch and drew a few squares on the ground representing the field, and said: "The people only need to take out part of the field to plant leguminous pasture, and it is more than enough to raise a horse." I don't care what the rest of them love to plant, and I don't ask them to collect taxes. ”

After drawing the square, Shao Xun drew another horse in it.

Well, not so much about horses, not like cartoon donkeys. Moreover, when he drew the horse, he was still thinking that he could raise cattle, so he subconsciously drew two horns on the horse's head.

There was a "poof" sound from the other side.

The green skirt dragged on the ground, shaking slightly with the laughter of its owner.

The lower edge of the skirt is embroidered with a few plain flowers, which is particularly attractive.

Shao Xun put down the branch and smiled awkwardly.

At the same time, he noticed that Wang Huifeng's clothes seemed to have changed.

When I used to see her, she was dressed in plain clothes without any ornaments.

This time I came to the meeting, and her dress was a lot more "vivid".

What does this mean? Shao Xun was thoughtful in his heart, if he had enlightenment.

But he pretended not to see it, and after laughing, his face showed a look of indignation, and said: "Actually, one acre of grassland can't raise any livestock, but in Henan, where there is plastering soil, every acre of land is planted with leguminous pastures, and if you take care of it carefully, you can harvest several times more hay every year than the grassland." Even if they take ten acres of land out to plant grass and raise two horses, now they only need one, and the rest can raise another cow and a few sheep. In this way, people's lives will not be too poor, but will also improve. ”

In fact, there is a loophole in his words.

Normal execution is really not a big problem, but what if the horse dies? What to do?

Theoretically speaking, this is a horse fostered by the government in the people's homes, and the ownership belongs to the government.

It's definitely going to be compensated. That's not a small burden, and it's not insured these days.

Of course, if you ignore the blood and tears of a single family and focus on the overall situation, this policy can indeed be implemented, after all, the vast majority of horses will not die of disease, and most families will still benefit from it.

In the Han Dynasty and Tang Dynasty, with the encouragement of the government, there were many households that raised horses, the former was tax-free, and the latter was purchased by the government at a high price, and they all raised a huge herd of horses in the Central Plains.

Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the density of a post station in thirty miles was higher than that of the Han and Jin dynasties, and a large number of horses were needed.

The kingdom also raised about 160,000 cavalry or cavalry infantry, which was also the highest number among other dynasties.

At its peak, the number of seven or eight hundred thousand horses was ashamed of the steppe tribes.

In fact, it all depends on policy and execution.

The people of the Northern Song Dynasty couldn't raise horses, purely because the government didn't treat the people as people, and the people of the Northern Song Dynasty were much poorer than the Han and Tang Dynasties, after all, the price of salt they ate was more than ten times that of the Tang Dynasty, and the tax burden continued to increase on the basis of five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

"Ma Zheng's matter, it's not that simple." Wang Huifeng thought for a moment and asked.

"It's not that simple, so you're going to help me." Shao Xun said sincerely: "After I have a horse, I can sweep away the Huns and return the world to a prosperous world." When the fighting has subsided, the people will be happy, their families will have surplus food, the elderly will have something to support, and the children will grow up strong. ”

Wang Huifeng was a little distracted when he heard it.

"I have to fight, and I don't have that much energy to juggle the rear." Shao Xun observed his words and continued: "If you don't help me, the big thing will be over. ”

Wang Huifeng didn't answer, but only asked, "How can a concubine and a woman afford such a big event." ”

"If you can't afford it, what do those corpse vegetarians say?" Shao Xun looked into Wang Huifeng's eyes and said, "Over the years, I have never seen a woman as smart as you. ”

Wang Huifeng looked away from his gaze and changed the topic: "My father sent me here to tell me some news about the state. ”

After speaking, she took out a stack of papers, looked at the top one, and said: "For several months, the situation in Guanzhong and Bingzhou has been here. ”

"Really?" Shao Xun said overjoyed.

Wang Huifeng nodded, then pulled out the piece of paper and was about to hand it over.

Shao Xun didn't seem to notice her movements, his eyes were all attracted by the paper, only to see him frowning, got up and sat next to Wang Huifeng, naturally took the paper, and looked at it.

Wang Huifeng's body stiffened, and he was about to move to the other side of the stone bench, but he heard Shao Xun ask: "How did you get the inside story of the battle of Huangbaicheng?" Really? ”

Wang Huifeng collected his mood, stopped his movements, turned his head to look over, and said: "It's all mentioned in my father's correspondence with friends, students, and old bureaucrats, and the concubines corroborate each other and extract from them, so it's no problem to write here." ”

Wang Yan's protégés, old friends, and old acquaintances are all over the world, and there are many correspondences.

Wang Huifeng extracted useful information from his father's letters, and then corroborated each other.

What can be cross-verified is regarded as a separate column of reliable information.

If there are some contradictions between them, they will be listed separately. She combined various news to speculate on her own, and wrote the results of her speculation aside.

This intelligence refining ability is really strong, and the intelligence source is also very powerful, and a lot of internal information is not something that you can collect by sending caravans and opening shops, because the level is not enough.

Lao Deng is really powerful, famous enough, and has an extremely strong ability to obtain information.

"I see." Shao Xun nodded and continued to watch.

Wang Huifeng cleaned up his mood, saw that he finished reading, and handed over another piece of paper.

"That's a good word." Shao Xun praised: "If you have time, can you teach me to practice calligraphy?" ”

"The concubine is not good at regular script." Wang Huifeng shook his head.

Not good at it? Not necessarily. It's just subconsciously avoiding suspicion.

"Oh." Shao Xun nodded in disappointment.

Wang Huifeng saw his expression, his heart was complicated, and he was a little entangled and contradictory for a while.

"You speculate that the Xiongnu and Xianbei are fighting again?" Shao Xun asked suddenly.

Wang Huifeng woke up suddenly, and after calming down, he explained: "Liu Cong withdrew more than 10,000 soldiers and horses from Guanzhong, requisitioned 30,000 troops from Hedong and Pingyang, and also requisitioned more than 40,000 Zhuhu cavalry from Hexi (Hetao grassland), but did not send troops to Hanoi, Hebei, and obviously went to Jinyang. Actually, it was June when this article was written. At the beginning of July, my father wrote a letter with Hongnong Yang's old acquaintance, and it was confirmed that Liu Cong went north to the West River. ”

Awesome, awesome! Shao Xun couldn't help but admire.

At the same time, he also wondered if his staff members were also exchanging letters with relatives, friends, and students from other parties, revealing inside information. Almost inevitable, right?

The relationship between the family is complicated, and the marriage of several generations, relatives and friends, protégés and former officials, do not need to be deliberately revealed, and a sentence that is unconscious when writing a letter will often be interpreted by people with a heart and get useful information.

That's what Wang Huifeng did.

Wang Yan is a famous person in the world, and the source is not comparable to others. But this old man actually guarded against me, and he didn't tell me a lot of information.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Wang Huifeng, not wanting Wang Huifeng to be looking at him as well......

Shao Xun continued to look at the intelligence as if unconsciously, and said: "No wonder Liu Han has never sent a large army south, it turns out that they also have a lot of things on them. In this way, the time is ripe for troops. ”

Wang Huifeng's mood was originally a little chaotic, and when he heard the word "send troops", he was shocked, and subconsciously said: "I'm afraid it's a bit risky, right?" ”

"What is there that does not take risks in war?" Shao Xun shook his head and said, "Besides, the gathering of all battalions and armies, and the people eating horses and chewing are not a small amount. Every day of delay, thousands of grains and grass will be consumed, and the expenses are very large. ”

"Furthermore, in order to sweep the world away and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, why should I risk my life?"

"Being able to help me has increased my odds of winning. When the people of the world hear about it, they will praise your good name. ”

Wang Huifeng was silent.

In the past, she liked to talk to Shao Xun about how the people's lives were after the world was peaceful, but today she was a little silent.

Shao Xun looked up at the sky and said, "Before I know it, it's time to unitary." ”

After speaking, he looked at Wang Huifeng and said with a smile: "I have worked hard for you today." I'll go pick some vegetables in the garden and make you a delicious meal. ”

Wang Huifeng raised his head suddenly and said, "There is no need for this, the concubine will leave." If the Ming Duke has any questions, he can send someone to Luoyang to send a letter, and the concubine will answer. ”

"It's fine." Shao Xun smiled reluctantly and said, "It's just a little regretful." I only have a few thousand soldiers, and after the expedition, if I encounter tens of thousands of horsemen in Shile, if one is not good, the whole army will be wiped out, and I am afraid that I will not have the opportunity to repay you. ”

"Concubines don't need to reciprocate." Wang Huifeng first shook his head, then looked at Shao Xun, and said seriously: "Duke Ming has a heavy responsibility, so he shouldn't be recruited in person." ”

"The right battalion of the silver spear does not reach the left battalion. Their skills are acceptable, but they are inexperienced, so I have to take them with me to boost morale. After you have practiced, you can give it to others. Shao Xun said: "Moreover, for the great cause of the world and the peace of the people, the soldiers are fighting hard, how can I sit in the rear?" Kill one more thief, and you can clean up the world quickly and restore the world to what it should be. ”

Wang Huifeng was speechless.

Shao Xun looked at her face and asked quietly, "Do you remember the Sheri poem I wrote?" ”

"The wine is ripe and welcomed, and the village celebrates the year." Wang Huifeng said lightly: "Will there be such a day?" ”

"Yes." Shao Xun affirmed: "You have to help me." We see that day together. ”

Wang Huifeng lowered his head.

"By the way, I heard that you are familiar with the geography, you might as well explain it to me in detail, whether it is better to build a city in Fangtou or in Liyang." Shao Xun seemed to suddenly remember this and said.

Wang Huifeng wanted to speak and stopped.

In fact, through the previous conversation, and after reading some official letters from the Xuchang shogunate, she knew very well where Duke Chen would build the city.

Still, she seemed to prefer not to know.

She was even more apprehensive. She felt like she had stepped on the edge of the swamp, and if she took any further step, she would slowly sink into it, and before she knew it, she would be swallowed up.

"It's urgent." Shao Xun said with a serious face: "Eat first, and explain it to me after eating." ”

Wang Huifeng was silent for a long time, and then responded softly: "Hmm." ”

As the sun sets, the red and gorgeous sunset is reflected on her face, which is very moving.

"Fangtou and Puyang face each other across the river, and it is less than 200 miles away from Yecheng, if you build a city here, you will have a lot to do." Shao Xun's voice is still coming one after another: "But Liyang is also very important, and it is really difficult for me to make a decision......

Listening to Shao Xun's clumsy words, I don't know why, Wang Huifeng suddenly wanted to laugh.

However, her steps were much lighter, as if she had been lifted from a thousand weights.

Of course, the city is going to be built in Fangtou, what is there to say?
