Li Yan is in a daze, after entering the winter, Li Yan needs to plan less and less, at present, the grain in Tuyuhun has stored enough food, and most of the water of the Yellow River has been frozen, but this winter's food is enough.

At present, what needs to be transported is coal, fortunately, there are enough pack horses and camels in Xizhou, although the carriage cannot walk, but these horses carry hundreds of pounds of coal directly without any problem, the reins of the pack horses are connected into a string, and a camel team can not use a few people.

Because almost most of Xizhou has been converted into settlements, in the winter, the captains of each village learn how to make a fire kang, which is made from clay mixed with hay into adobe bricks, and then dished out of the fire kang.

At present, the iron tools in Xizhou are not enough for them to build enough furnaces, and if the coal is not used well, it will kill people, so the kang that is coiled out is more suitable, not only coal, even if it is not transported to the coal place, burning a handful of wood before going to bed can also warm up for a night.

Xizhou will not freeze to death this winter.

On the table in front of Li Yan was a sketch, on which was a majestic and majestic man's face, although it was only a portrait, the light of wisdom could still be seen shining in his deep eyes.

This is a portrait of His Royal Highness, I heard that this painting method called sketch was also taught by His Royal Highness to the painter, and now the painters of Xizhou can basically master this painting method, it is different from the traditional painting, it can restore a person's appearance to the greatest extent.

Although it was black and white, Li Yan seemed to be able to still see His Highness's constant gaze.

She had a fever on her cheeks, it should have cooled down yesterday, and the boiler in Xizhou Duhu Mansion burned even more, so the room was even hotter.

Li Yan felt that her thoughts were wrong, he was her third brother, even if she was not the real third brother, but she couldn't be with the other party without her father's consent, but sometimes people can't avoid their own thoughts.

What girl doesn't have a spring?

Compared with His Royal Highness's appearance, what really attracted her was His Royal Highness's unparalleled thoughts, the more she devoted herself to the overall work of Xizhou, the more Li Yan could feel the brilliance of His Highness's thoughts, only half a year, this can be said to be no different from other nomadic countries, Xizhou, which can be described as having nothing, has become extremely rich.

In the next year, after the end of the first five-year plan, when Xizhou begins to officially pay taxes, I am afraid that Xizhou's taxes will exceed those of the various state capitals of Datang.

The most important thing is that the people of Xizhou will become very rich, before the winter of this year, many people in Xizhou have exchanged ironware, and by next year I am afraid that all the people will have some ironware at home, and with ironware, store more food, etc., which means that these people's homes will be richer.

Can you imagine that even all the Daozhou in the Tang Dynasty have people who can't get enough to eat, but Xizhou can have enough to eat? In this case, the power that erupted from Xizhou was destined to attract everyone's attention.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the current Xizhou becomes Tuyuhun, and His Royal Highness becomes the Khan of Tuyuhun, then at this time, Datang will attack, and Li Yan dares to guarantee that Datang will definitely not be able to defeat it.

Even the weapons and equipment are not as good as Datang, and Datang can't beat it.

When the people of a country begin to swear to protect their homeland, no one can resist that kind of power.

Li Yan heard footsteps outside the door of her office, and she quietly sandwiched the portrait between two books, which she had asked for from Lu Hai, a summary of some of the things His Highness had said.

Lu Hai named it "Quotations of His Royal Highness", Li Yan has been looking at it recently, and a lot of His Royal Highness's words in it have also expanded Li Yan's vision, perhaps she can now understand why all the members of His Royal Highness's Yuelai Commercial Bank are so loyal and full of amazing vitality.

For their princes are like the shining sun, which shines on all.

"Secretary Li." It was a guard who entered.

"What's wrong?"

"It's General Li who came to inquire, is there any new business to do in Xizhou recently?" The guard asked, "If not, General Li has decided to go to the Tanggula Pass and other two newly built military camps to check them out." ”

"Yes. Let him go after the New Year, now that the New Year is coming soon, there is a new task, and our officials in Xizhou are going to visit the countryside. Li Yan said.

"No, I'll report now." The guard immediately turned away.

Although Li Yan does not have any position, Li Yan has used her strength to win the respect of these people in Xizhou.

It didn't take long for Li Daozong to rush over, "Yan'er, what do you mean by visiting the countryside?" Li Daozong was a little confused.

"Actually, it's the same as your father's visit to those military camps, it's just that our high-level personnel in Xizhou went deep into the herdsmen's homes in Xizhou to comfort some families in difficulty, and send them some food and the like for the New Year." Li Yan smiled and said, this is not a task left by Li Ke, but Li Yan found it from "Quotations of His Highness" and then improved herself.

She felt that such an act was in line with His Highness's behavior, so she arranged it.

"This? Who's house are you going to? Li Daozong was a little confused, he was ...... this I don't understand it at all.

In Li Daozong's opinion, His Royal Highness is good enough for these ordinary people, but he still goes to their homes to offer condolences when the New Year is approaching? Aren't they big families contributing to Xizhou? No, but they have always lived on His Highness.

"This year, because of the construction task, transportation task, etc., a total of 7 people sacrificed their lives for Xizhou, we first have to go to the homes of these seven people, and then there are some difficult households selected by the village chiefs, all of whom have lost their young and middle-aged people, leaving only the elderly and children." Li Yan didn't even need to look at her workbook, these things were all in her mind.

"This ...... I can understand the front, what is there to see about the elderly and children? Aren't old people just a burden. Li Daozong opened his mouth and said, anyway, this is him and his daughter, Li Daozong can say whatever he wants, if there are outsiders, he will naturally not say that.

"Aye, you're old too." Li Yan said helplessly.

Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, but Li Yan's words Li Daozong understood this meaning, everyone has an old day, although he Li Daozong doesn't have to worry about the problems after he gets old, but these ordinary people are different.

"I see, when are you leaving?" Li Daozong asked.

"Now there is only one month left before the Chinese New Year, let's leave tomorrow." Li Yan thought for a while.

"You're going too?" Li Daozong was stunned for a moment, "It's windy and snowy outside, and it's cold and windy, if you go...... I'm afraid you can't stand it. ”

"Your Highness has entrusted me with most of the affairs of Xizhou, I must go and go deep into the grassroots to find out the problem." Li Yan said seriously.

Li Daozong: "......"

"You speak weirdly now, and you're becoming more and more like Your Highness, so you can arrange it." Li Daozong glanced at Li Yan, then nodded and agreed.
