Seven days later, Jincheng County - Xining

"Is it already decided?" He Si'an asked.

"Well, the horses and weapons are ready, and the other tribes have reached an agreement that the old, weak, women and children of the various tribes can be moved to Longxi before this winter. At the beginning of spring next year, we plan to go west! Yu Chi Yanyan replied.

"What's going on in the Western Regions now?"

"Originally, there were 36 countries in the Western Regions, which were generally divided into five regions, and the closest to us were the ten countries in the south of the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, namely: Ruoqiang, Loulan, Jimo, Xiaowan, Jingjue, Ronglu, Shumi, Qule, Yuwen, and Shache.

The second is the twelve countries of the northern province at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains: Shule, Yutou, Wensu, Gumo, Qiuzi, Wulei, Quli, Yuli, Weixu, Yancheng, Moshan, and Huhu;

Two countries behind the mountain: Cheshi (Gushi), robbery;

The Eight Kingdoms of Green Ridge: Pishan, Xiye, Zihe, Puli, Yinai, Wulei, Nandou, Utuo;

The four countries of the green ridge and the west: Dawan, donating drugs, resting, and being ashamed.

Due to the decline of the Northern Xiongnu in recent decades, they were no longer able to invade the Western Regions, and these thirty-six countries are now divided into fifty-five countries! And there's a growing trend! ”

After all, He Si'an is his own husband, and Yu Chi Yanyan did not hide it, but continued: "We plan to divide the army into two ways, and take advantage of next year to directly annex more than 20 countries at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Moreover, whether it is education, medical care, or even pension and other mechanisms, our New Western Regions Protectorate is by no means comparable to those projectile countries, as time goes by, the people in those places will understand us more and more deeply, so that the rest of the countries will be self-defeating! ”

"yes, who came up with this idea? It's a complete one-and-done approach! Is it Yuan Zhi? He Si'an asked in surprise.

"It's not." Yu Chi Yanyan shook her head, seeing He Si'an's puzzled expression, the corners of Yu Chi Yanyan's mouth curled slightly, and continued: "Don't sell Guanzi, it's Mr. Wenhe, a few days ago, Senior Brother Jia Ji was in charge of urban planning in my Xining for a period of time, after all, Mr. Wenhe knew that his husband valued the New Western Regions Protectorate, so he ordered Senior Brother Jia Ji to collect more information about the countries of the Western Regions when he was in Xining, and not long after Senior Brother Jia Ji returned to Chengdu, he ordered someone to quickly send Mr. Wenhe's suggestion over!" ”

Hearing this, He Si'an was a little distracted...

The room fell silent, and Ana, who had just put the child to sleep in the next room, pushed the door in.

"When is the husband ready to leave?" Yu Chi Yanyan glanced at Ana, and turned her gaze to He Si'an to ask.

"It's noon today, Wen Yuan has been waiting for a long time..."

Yu Chi Yanyan covered He Si'an's lips, and Ana, who had just entered the house, looked reluctant.

"Husband, you and I are both people who have big things to do, and our wives and children are long... Yanyan knows that you still need to supervise the autumn harvest in Liangzhou this time, husband Jun Che relaxes, Ana and I will take care of ourselves and the baby! ”

"By the way, let's choose a name for our child before we leave!" Ana on the side spoke.

"Hmm..." He Si'an groaned slightly, and after about a stick of incense, He Si'an's eyes lit up and he spoke.

"Ana, our daughter is the eldest princess of her husband, so she has a single name 'Tang', which comes from the "Zhaonan Gantang" in the Book of Poetry, which means that as the eldest daughter, she should shelter her younger brothers and sisters from the wind and rain like a big tree!"

After speaking, his eyes turned to Yu Chi Yanyan again, and continued to speak: "Yanyan, our daughter has a single name 'magpie', from the "Zhaonan Magpie's Nest" in the Book of Poetry, I hope she can travel all over the world like her mother. ”

In later understanding, Zhaonan refers to the southern region ruled by Zhaogong, including Luoyang, Nanyang in Henan and Yunyang, Xiangyang and other regions in Hubei.

However, after He Si'an came to this era, he knew that the so-called Zhaonan refers to the area west of Gansu in later generations, and it happens that He Si'an is now in Xining (the author has consulted a lot of literature, and it is indeed true, but it is really impossible to verify!). ）。

"As for our son... Let's call it Chang Gung! It is also from the Book of Songs, it is the "Xiaoya Dadong" in the Book of Songs, there is Qiming in the north and Chang Gung in the south, I hope that in the future, our Chang Gung can be as bright as the stars in the sky! ”

"Liu Tang, Liu Que, Liu Changgeng!"

The second daughter muttered to herself, and then smiled!

Reunions are always short-lived, and two hours later, He Si'an bid farewell to Yu Chi Yanyan's master and servant, and set off for Longxi under the escort of Xu Rong.

On the second day, He Si'an and his party came to Lintao, Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji and others had been waiting here for a long time, and when they saw He Si'an coming, the two walked a few steps and bowed and spoke: "Minister Duan Xuan, Zhang Ji, I have seen His Highness!" ”

"Lord Yu, the autumn harvest has just begun, although this year's output is not as good as in previous years, but fortunately, Zhang Liao has a degree of command, the planting area is several times that of previous years, Zhang Zhang's Lintao County planted Yizhou Valley this year is gratifying, and the yield should be more than half a percent.

All combined, it is expected that there will be enough food to last until next summer. ”

"Only enough for the summer?"

Hearing this, He Si'an tightened his head, and the previous lieutenant Chi Yanyan had said that he was going to move troops against the Western Regions in the spring of next year, so that the grain and grass consumed in a short period of time would be an astronomical amount.

Perhaps seeing the change in He Si'an's expression, Duan Xuan continued to speak: "Your Highness, please relax, Zhang Xianling is still studying the breeding of poultry and livestock during this time, and now it has been quite effective, and Wen Hou has also asked Lord Zhang Liao for a piece of land near the Salesian Division, and actively mobilized the old and young of the Salesian Division to plant all kinds of vegetables in their spare time, plus next year Lord Zhang Liao will prepare the whole county to promote the livestock breeding method of Zhang County Order, and then insist on the autumn harvest next year, there is no problem at all!" ”

"Good!" He Si'an couldn't help but blurt out, then looked at Duan Xuan and said, "If it is really as Captain Duan said, you two will definitely be promoted to the rank of knight in the coming year!" ”

Zhang, who had just arrived here, didn't know what was going on, so he was pulled over by Duan Xuan excitedly and knelt down and kowtowed together. Just when Zhang was confused, he heard He Si'an continue to speak: "Lone still has an idea..."

Saying that, He Si'an helped the two of them up and continued: "Now whether it is Liangzhou or Yizhou, after a series of wars, they have not completely recovered, and after the autumn harvest next year, Lone plans to establish a new department, similar to the academy and the Academy of Martial Arts, well... It's called the Agricultural Research Institute!

On the one hand, it is responsible for going to those places that need to be reclaimed to train those who are not familiar with farm work, and on the other hand, it is responsible for studying whether the yield of rice, livestock and so on can increase production. ”

Hearing this, the eyes of the two lit up, especially Duan Xuan, who did not have any official frame, and during this period of contact with the old farmers from all over Longxi, he was also impressed by their diligent attitude to life.

It was another burst of politeness from the king, the sage and the sage, the two said goodbye and left, and He Si'an, accompanied by Zhang Liao, went to the Salesian Division non-stop, after all, if you come to Longxi and don't see Wen Hou and other old people, it is too much to say.

After walking for more than an hour, everyone arrived in Minxian County, where the Salesian Division was located, and traveled about 30 miles westward, and He Si'an was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In He Si'an's memory, he clearly remembered that the Salesian Division was built fifty miles west of Minxian County at the junction of the three counties, and it was still empty and uninhabited at that time!

At this time, in front of He Si'an, there are rows of low houses built on both sides of the road, and as far as the eye can see, there is no edge to be seen extending to the west...

"Wen Yuan, this is..."He Si'an couldn't help but slow down his horse and looked at Zhang Liao on the side.

"Hey..."Zhang Liao also sighed, and then opened his mouth to explain the situation to He Si'an.

Originally, Ho Si'an's original intention to establish the Salesian Division was to prevent the elderly and children who had been displaced by the war from becoming homeless and dry bones on the roadside, but as more and more people heard that the elderly and children who had no relatives could be provided for free here, some people had crooked thoughts.

For example, some people obviously have their children alive, but in order to reduce the burden on the family, they assume that their children are deceased and they are the only ones left, and some directly send the unpleasant children in the family to the Salesian Division, and the matter is getting worse.

Originally, Lu Bu and Hua Xiong did not refuse, but as more and more people entered the Salesian Division, Lu Bu and the two also realized the seriousness of the matter.

In the end, Lu Bu had to call Zhang Liao to discuss how to deal with it! Zhang Liao also had a headache when he first heard it, but Zhang Liao was Zhang Liao after all, and he quickly came up with a countermeasure, and the local people must report the list of people who went to the Salesian Division in their own places by each village and county, and if they found that someone was fake, then the land in their hands would be confiscated!

After all, of course, the neighbors in the village know the situation of each family and have the punishment of confiscation of land, so that there are many local counterfeiters, as for the out-of-town, they also need to be strictly audited, and the low bungalows in front of them are more than ten miles long, which is the temporary residence of those who queue up for audit, of course, the Salesian Division will also provide them with food, but if they want to be full, it is really difficult!

But fortunately, there are some well-to-do families who will take the initiative to donate some rice and noodles, and this is the scene in front of you!
