As the sun set, Li Ze walked barefoot on the country road happily, just as Xue Ping was angry and said that he was just pretending, he was really pretending to be when he went to the fields to farm. But such a pro-soldier move, even if it is pretending, is necessary. As the supreme ruler of Wuwei, it is necessary to pay attention to nongsang.

In this era, commerce or places like Luoyang were extremely developed, but looking at the whole world, agriculture and mulberry were still the foundation of everything. Therefore, every spring ploughing time, the officials have to go down to the fields and work together with the people.

In the canal on the side of the road, Zhang Hui, the secretary of Wuwei Festival Town and the head of Wuwei Academy, was standing in the water cleaning the ploughshare, Li Ze stopped and watched Zhang Hui skillfully unload the ploughshare and clean the soil inside.

Li Ze smiled and sat on the edge of the ditch, poked his feet full of yellow mud into the stream, bent down and scrubbed hard. Zhang Hui laughed, sat side by side with him, and rubbed the dirt on his feet in the same way, and the originally clear stream suddenly became turbid.

"After several years of business, it's finally time to harvest." Zhang Hui said with a smile: "These water conservancy facilities are enough to protect Wuyi, and Yizhou will no longer be affected by floods and droughts in the future, and a bumper harvest can be expected every year!" ”

"Man will conquer heaven." Li Ze said: "We can't always expect God to reward a bite of food, as long as it is within the reach of manpower, we must work hard to do it." Yizhou, Zhenzhou, Zhaozhou, these places, water conservancy, road foundation is good, this is also our foundation, and after this spring ploughing, water conservancy construction in other places, road construction should also be put on the agenda, start the scale, construction. ”

"Now Wuwei's territory is big, this is a huge project!" Zhang replied.

"Fix it a little this year, fix it a little next year, it can always be repaired." Li Zedao: "I don't want to eat a fat man, but I must not break it, these large-scale livelihood projects are planned by the degree branch to unify the planning, formulate plans, determine the budget, allocate funds on schedule, and send officials and judges to supervise the construction by the Jiezhen government, so as to avoid some unfinished projects caused by the transfer of local officials. ”

"This is a good way, lest once the son of heaven and a courtier, change an official, ignore the affairs of the previous one, and go to another stove to do another thing." Zhang Hui smiled: "I've seen a lot of things like this before. No official is willing to give the icing on the cake to his predecessor, he just thinks about his name for eternity, so ah, many things, money is spent, and people are tired, but the final result is not very good, and some are even angry. ”

"So we can't repeat the mistakes of the past!" Li Zedao: "This is a matter of merit in the present and benefit in the future, and it must not be repeated with local changes." ”

"Zhaoyi's matter, you decided not to meddle?" Zhang replied: "In my opinion, this is also an opportunity. ”

"This is not a chance!" Li Zedao: "Now our Wuwei is really not capable of fighting another big battle, and the situation over there is unknown, we rashly intervene, once we are in the quagmire, it will be difficult to pull out our feet, sir, this is not like your feet are now pasted with some yellow mud, there is water to wash, you can return to the original face." ”

Zhang Hui smiled: "You're not afraid of falling into the quagmire, are you afraid that the world will not be chaotic?" ”

Li Ze coughed dryly, and laughed hehehe: "Why did Mr. say this?" ”

Zhang Hui shook his head: "Forget it, if you don't say it, I don't have any hope for the current Chang'an, but I want to see if they can toss any tricks this time." For them, this time is also an opportunity, if Chang'an really sends troops, and can defeat Wei Bo in one fell swoop and take back Zhaoyi, then for Chang'an, it is really a panacea for life, if so, what do you do next? ”

"If that's the case, I'll naturally be a loyal and good general of Datang." Li Ze said with a smile: "I will assist Chang'an to sweep away the four razes, and all the warlord leaders on the side of the drama will either surrender on their knees, or send their heads to Chang'an in a wooden box." ”

"And what is your ultimate goal?"

"My ultimate goal is naturally to become a capable minister of the world." Li Ze said with a smile.

"That's it." Zhang Hui nodded and said: "If my expectations are good, this time Chang'an will definitely make a move, and Gongsun Changming, the old fox, must lobby vigorously in Chang'an, prompting the emperor to send troops to conquer Wei Bo." Li Ze, tell me the truth, if Chang'an really sent troops, did you do anything in it to promote Chang'an's defeat? ”

"Absolutely not!" Li Zezheng said: "I hope that Chang'an will send troops, of course, for them to win or lose, I am half to half, or I hope that they will really fail, so that I have a chance." ”

"If Chang'an wins, the imperial power will naturally rise sharply, and many wavering festivals will naturally be loyal to the imperial power, and you can't go against this trend. If defeated, the last authority of the royal family will inevitably disappear, and it will exist in name only. Zhang replied with a sigh.

Li Ze nodded: "That's it, only at this point can Datang really lose the deer, and I can justifiably chase him." ”

"So you're standing still?" Zhang replied: "If you do your best now, can you quickly destroy Zhang Zhongwu?" ”

"Mr. is also an expert, I know that this is impossible, Yingzhou, Liaozhou These places are vast, but we can compare with them here, Zhang Zhongwu doesn't have to fight with us, he just needs to drag us around, and he can consume us to death, so ah, next to deal with Zhang Zhongwu, I can really only take one step at a time, lay down a place, run a place, slowly force him, shrink his strategic space, and want to fight such a thing, in that place, don't think about it."

"You seem to be more afraid of Xuanwu Zhu Wen!"

"Sir, I'm really not afraid of a dog that barks fiercely, like Zhang Zhongwu. Now Tian Chengsi is also one, it seems that he is better than Zhang Zhongwu, but I am not afraid of him, and a guy like Zhu Wen who is silent, but secretly opens his mouth full of sharp teeth and waits for an opportunity to bite people, is the most feared, because I can't figure out his hole cards! Li Ze said with some annoyance: "In Meng Jindu, he has already plotted against me, it seems that it is Lu Long and Wei Bo's hand, but Xuanwu's actions in the secret are really deadly." And Hou Xiyi's actions not long ago have also proved that Xuanwu was behind him, what does this mean? Sir, this shows that Zhu Wen's forces have quietly controlled Yanhai, and the Tianping Army now seems to be Wei Bo's allies, but what is wrong with it, no one can say? The reason why I didn't move was to see what Xuanwu would do after Tian Chengsi and Chang'an started at that time? ”

Zhang Hui nodded: "Zhu Wen is indeed a powerful character. You are in Wuwei, in terms of geographical conditions, you are indeed inferior to him, and you feel a little out of reach. You ambushed an army in Chang'an, just to guard against this? ”

"That's just to keep my mother and Qiao'er safe." Li Ze frowned and said: "If something really happens, having such an army to protect it will always make people feel a lot more at ease." ”

"It's always good to be yourself first." Zhang Hui crawled out of the ditch, "Spring ploughing will come to an end in about ten days, and after it is over, the enrollment of Wuwei Academy in the new year will also begin, and then I will invite you, the festival marshal, to preside over it!" ”

"It's nature." Li Ze smiled and nodded. "Sir, are you going back?"

Zhang Hui patted his belly: "After half a day's work, it's time to go back to the Five Organs Temple." ”

The two smiled goodbye, Li Ze turned around and was about to leave, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves in the distance, the two glanced at each other, but they both stopped.

To Li Ze's surprise, it was Tian Bo who was riding on the horse.

Tian Bo turned over and dismounted, limping to the two of them, but he arched his hand to Li Ze with a happy face: "Congratulations to the handsome, congratulations to the handsome." ”

"Where does the joy come from?" Li Ze asked a little inexplicably.

"Jieshuai, Chang'an just sent the news, ten days ago, Madame gave birth to Jieshuai." Tian Bo said loudly.

"Isn't it until the beginning of April?" Li Ze was inexplicably surprised: "Why is it half a month ahead of schedule?" ”

"Although I was pregnant in October, my nine-month-old child is almost inseparable." Zhang Hui said with a smile: "This is really to congratulate the handsome, after the Li family has it, Wuwei will be more stable as a rock." ”

Li Ze laughed: "Tian Bo, announce this news to Wuwei, in order to celebrate the birth of my son, Wuwei Dahe, as long as it is not a heinous crime, he will be forgiven." ”

"Reward the army, each person will be rewarded with two catties of meat and one catty of wine."

"Anyone who is sixty years old will be given a hundred dollars, a pound of meat, and half a pound of wine!"

"Yes." Tian Bo said loudly.

The news was pasted all over the territory of Wuwei in the form of a notice, and the entire Wuwei rule was suddenly filled with an atmosphere of joy. has just won a big victory on the battlefield, and the handsome man is happy again, which can be described as double happiness.

However, when Li Ze was overjoyed, Chang'an, and Mrs. Wang were still standing in front of Liu Ruyan's bedside with a sullen face, as if she wanted to lose her temper, but she knew that now was really not the time.

Originally, the child was born in half a month, but Liu Ruyan, who had been holding back for several months, walked on the school field with a big belly, and when he saw the scene of the soldier's training, he finally couldn't help it, and took a few spears to practice the art of throwing spears.

This frightened Mrs. Wang.

Fortunately, the child was born safely, but Chen Bing, who was leading the team to train on the school field at that time, ate a board.
