Chapter 58 The Formation of the Talents of the State

Strange to say, the land on the edge of the desert is generally good, the land here is soft and fertile, and with enough water, it can grow good crops.

Duan Guoren did not allow people to cultivate on the edge of the desert, only trees were allowed to be planted in this area, and the trees were not common tall trees, most of them were the saxons and red willows that were already found in the desert.

As for why Yun Zhao did this, to be honest, Yun Zhao didn't understand the real reason, only knew that in the days when science was prosperous, people did it like this, and it should be a thing that only had benefits and no harm.

When later generations did this in Ningxia, it was mainly to prevent the desert from filling in the Yellow River, and now, although the desert is still more than 200 miles away from the Yellow River, Yun Zhao feels that it is better to take precautions.

After Jiannu became the master of the Central Plains, the governance of the Yellow River became the top priority, and Yun Zhao did not think that after he became the master of this land in the future, the Yellow River would spare him.

Instead of crying and wiping away tears when the Yellow River floods in the future, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity now and when the manpower is abundant to do things ahead.

After Li Dingguo returned to Ningxia Town with his soldiers and horses, the people here had begun to level the land under the leadership of a large number of Lantian County officials, and while the wetlands had not yet been completely frozen, 400,000 people gathered in the dense network of the Yellow River, driving millions of large livestock, and a large area of land had been leveled.

Hundreds of artesian canals dug along the banks of the Yellow River bring the water of the Yellow River into the prepared fields, and at a glance, the land becomes watery, and this land after winter irrigation will bring vitality to Ningxia Town in the spring of the next year.

The spectacular scenes of labor production have completely different characteristics from the spectacular scenes of war.

The spectacular scenes of labor can only give rise to endless hope for the future, while the spectacular scenes of war can only give rise to endless despair.

Liu Yuqi sat in the tent, drank a sip of cold tea, and a moving poem surged in his heart.

Although he has no power to restrain the chicken, he has a giant in his heart, although this giant only likes to write poems and does not like to work, which makes Liu Yuqi have an illusion that Lao Tzu is invincible in the world.

"Ploughing thousands of acres and thousands of boxes, who will recover from exhaustion? But all living beings are satisfied, and they do not hesitate to lie sick and lie in the sun. ”

Liu Yuqi, who was deeply moved by the enthusiasm of the laborers, naturally brought himself into this spectacular scene of labor and production, and naturally brought himself into the emotions of Li Gang, a famous minister in the Song Dynasty.

To tell the truth, Liu Yuqi has no major problems except for being incompetent, he is very diligent, as long as he opens a mode of work, this person can continue to work honestly.

However, this is also a common portrayal of officials in the Ming Dynasty at this time, honest and incompetent are already candidates for upper officials.

The task of clearing the township finally came to an end, and Li Dingguo's army began to recuperate, and Duan Guoren began to reorganize the household registration, mixing one religious family for every five homeless households, which almost caused the entire population of Ningxia Town to be rebuilt, and as for the houses they had previously kept, they had to be demolished and rebuilt for various reasons.

Naturally, there is no supply of bricks and stones, and all the new houses are made of adobe, and they are uniformly manufactured into the bungalow model of Lantian County, with 200 households as a natural village, and this work will be completed before the autumn of next year.

Duan Guoren believed that with the further migration of Han Chinese migrated in the coming year, the problem of foreign religion in Ningxia Town would be completely resolved.

In the future, whether it is Ningxia, Lantian City, or Guanzhong, or Longzhong, Shanxi, and part of Henan must shoulder the important task of producing grain, take over the burden of Jiangnan's supply of grain to the whole country, and continue to retain some strength for this boss empire.

In this way, the army of Lantian County can be invincible with food.

"We need more such food bases."

Duan Guoren stood on the ridge of the field, looking at a few small fish in the paddy field who had inadvertently run here from the Yellow River, and felt a little emotional.

"The places we occupy are all poor mountains and remote places except for Guanzhong, and the county should march into the two lakes." Li Dingguo has been fighting in the land of the two lakes for many years and has some knowledge of these two places.

Zhang Guofeng sighed and said: "There seems to be nothing in this world that wants both cheekiness and benefits. The fact that the land of the two lakes is a good place is clear to fools, and because of this, if the county respects us and let our troops enter the two lakes, we will immediately become thieves.

People no longer think that we are the weakest one, and will think about killing us first, and then fighting for ......"

Duan Guoren said: "This is what survival in the cracks is like, after settling down here and accumulating enough experience, I will move to Zhangye, Wuwei, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang to officially take over the dilapidated Jiayu Pass defense, and strive to advance the Ming border village to the land of Hami." ”

Li Dingguo shook his head and said: "Impossible, when the Central Plains is undecided, it is impossible for Yun Zhao to have extra troops for you to take to the Western Regions to waste." ”

Duan Guoren said with a smile: "Ban Chao can pacify the countries of the Western Regions with thirty-six horses, why do you think Lao Tzu can't do it?" ”

Zhang Guofeng looked at Duan Guoren like a fool and said: "The countries of the Western Regions during the Banchao period, the largest population was only 50,000, and they were divided into one hundred and ten countries in a mess, and now there are only Yarkand Khanate left in the Western Regions, Don't lose the Bali Khanate, and the Jungar Mongols, each of these three has more than 100,000 soldiers, do you take thirty-six cavalry to send them to death?" ”

Duan Guoren said with a smile: "If you do something with all your life, you can always make some achievements, as long as I lay a good foundation in the early stage, and after the county level calms the Central Plains, I will naturally consider the Western Regions." ”

Li Dingguo said in surprise: "Pacify the Central Plains, can't we still put our swords and guns into Kuma and put Nanshan?" ”

Duan Guoren and Zhang Guofeng looked at Li Dingguo and shook their heads, Zhang Guofeng hurriedly explained to his brother: "You are dreaming, haven't you found that the several legions that have been successfully formed in Lantian County are actually not suitable for defense?"

The county is waiting for the regimental training in Lantian County to slowly mature, once the regimental training is mature, these people are the guard army, and our four legions, plus the legions formed in the future, are definitely offensive legions.

Judging from the always stingy character of our county honor, he never thought of spending money to support these extraordinarily large legions.

Now, Ningxia is going to feed our legion, Lantian City is feeding the Gaojie legion, most of the income of the Yunyang legion comes from Henan, and most of the income of the Yunfu legion comes from the two lakes.

All of us have to find food to eat by ourselves, and it is estimated that we will have to make offerings to the county, so we have no chance to stay in the country, and the most reliable situation is that where there is money to grab, we will appear there. ”

Li Dingguo was stunned.

Duan Guoren continued to laugh and said: "Your stay in the country is an unstable factor, stay outside, and you will have to rely on the country, but the personnel will have to rely on the country, so you will never be able to get out of the central control, and the general's white hair is your destination." ”

Li Dingguo looked at Zhang Guofeng and said, "No wonder you are in a hurry to ask your wife to have children." ”

Zhang Guofeng said with a smile: "I have persuaded you countless times, but you don't listen, or you will marry a sister from the county and settle down first?" ”

Li Dingguo sighed and said: "20,000 taels of silver, it will buy out my life!" ”

Duan Guoren squeezed his eyes at Zhang Guofeng and said: "Don't do business with the county zun, and don't bet with the county zun, whenever the county zun spends a lot of energy on a person, he generally has to get ten, hundred, or more than a thousand times the profit from this person, otherwise, for the county zun, it is a loss-making business." ”

Xia Wanchun came back from Yushan Academy crying, covered with injuries...... Yun Zhao looked like he hated iron but not steel, but Hong Chengchou looked at Xia Wanchun who was crying loudly with his mouth open, he didn't understand, why did Yun Zhao educate his disciple and pull him over.

"They all beat me...... As soon as the class bell rang, someone rushed over and hit me, wow......"

"What class are you taking?"

"Martial arts class!"

"What did they do to hit you?"

"Fists, and feet!"

"Did you resist?"

"If they resist and defeat one, they will go up to two, and if they defeat two, they will go up to three, and then they will defeat three people, and they will rush up...... Wow, Raippy. ”

Yun Zhao took out a handkerchief and wiped Xia Wanchun's snot and tears and said, "I remember that this time is usually when you are electing the squad president, and you are participating in the election of the squad president?" ”

Xia Wanchun took a sip of tea from Yun Zhao's tea bowl and sobbed and said: "Mr. said, the squad leader is talented, and there are capable people for it, I hope everyone will automatically stand up and run, I see those fools watching one by one with their mouths closed and silent, I, as your disciple, naturally have to stand up and take responsibility."

My husband taught me my homework and calligraphy on the spot, and then encouraged me a few words, saying that I was very likely to become a class leader...... Then, that group of bastards became jealous of me and took advantage of the martial arts class to beat me. ”

Yun Zhao snorted and said, "You are looking for your husband and me, do you want me to help you?" ”

"Hmm!" Xia Wanchun took the opportunity to take another piece of pastry from the table.

"Do you want me to tell my husband that you are allowed to be the squad leader?"

Xia Wanchun said: "No, they can only go up one by one, or two, two, I'm not afraid, even if three go together, I promise, but I can't go up with forty-four people, this is Laipi." ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said: "This is impossible, if you don't want to be the squad leader, it's just that, there won't be a group of people to beat you, if you want to be the squad leader, you have to convince the forty-four people in your class, this is the rule of Yushan Academy."

If you convince all these forty-four people, then you will be their leader in the future, and whatever you want them to do, they will have to obey them for one year, and if you defeat the challenger in the second year, they will have to listen to you for a whole year, and if you can beat your classmates well in the remaining seven years of study, it will be of great benefit to you in the future. ”

Xia Wanchun wiped the snot that came out again and said, "What benefit?" “

Yun Zhao smiled: "For example, you can have another name. ”

"What's the name?"

"Xia Guochun!"

"Is it powerful to change this word?"

Yun Zhao smiled, pointed at Hong Chengchou and said: "If you get this word, it means that you are a capable person in the country, and after graduation, all positions in Lantian County are up to you." ”

Xia Wanchun turned his head to look at Yang Xiong and said, "Brother Yang Xiong, why didn't you become Yang Guoxiong?" ”

Yang Xiong said with a dark face: "In the fourth year, I was broken by a bastard and lost the ability to fight again. ”

Xia Wanchun looked at Xu Wuxiang, who wanted to escape, and said, "Brother Wuxiang, what is your reason?" ”

Xu Wuxiang barely squeezed out a smile and said, "My life is not good, I have been in the same class with you since I went to school!! ”

Xia Wanchun also felt sorry for Xu Wuxiang, and after mixing another piece of dim sum, he asked Yun Zhao: "Sir, do I have to defeat forty-four people with my fists at once?" ”

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, it's better for you than to have to completely subdue these forty-four people." ”

"Is it possible to stratagem?"

Yun Zhao smiled and said, "Welcome to use the scheme, but after you use the scheme, don't blame others for using the trick on you, be cautious!" ”

Xia Wanchun, who was already full, said with confidence: "I will become the squad leader." ”

After speaking, he jumped up and down to find Qian Duoduo and continued to cry, it seems that this child was beaten so badly by his classmates today, and even at noon and dinner was confiscated by Mr.

Hong Chengchou gasped and said, "What kind of rule is this?" ”

Yun Zhao took a sip of wine and said, "The rules for the Yun bandits to choose the owner of the village!" ”
