Although the Huainan framework has been built, many affairs are complicated, and Shen Zhezi is still busy.

First of all, in the military aspect, the increase in troops is only the basics. A few years ago, Shen Zhezi sent Hurun to lead an army alone to help the Xuzhou army. This is the content of the agreement, and Xi Jian can't either, Huainan helps this army, and even the food, grass and equipment are provided by themselves.

Of course, this cooperation cannot be judged by this, after all, if the main force of the Xuzhou Army does not move to the direction of Xuyi, it will be difficult for Shen Zhezi alone to hold the Huainan line.

Huainan is fundamentally in Shouchun, and Huaibei is fundamentally in Pengcheng. Although Shi Zhao did not have in-depth operations in Shouchun, he was stationed in Peiguo, Xiapi, Lanling and other counties around Pengcheng in Huaibei, and there were at least more than 100,000 soldiers in each department.

Although this part of the army is mainly the enemy of Xuzhou, if Shen Zhezi just goes alone and becomes a rafter, he will inevitably be attacked.

Therefore, it is extremely necessary to let the Xuzhou army come up to share the pressure, after all, the gains and losses of such an important town as Shouchun affect the whole body, and it is related to the rise and fall of the forces in the north and the south.

Even the weight of Jingzhou's division of Shaanxi, surrounding Xiangyang, has been gained and lost several times, and it is difficult to consolidate the temporary gains, and it is stable to transform them into strategic advantages.

With the Xuzhou Army's eastern response, the Huainan Army was able to draw out its energy to deal with the enemy in the north. When Shouchun had just been recovered, there was still a slight military intrusion in the north, and even Zhao Shicong led more than 20,000 people from Qiaojun to the city father, repeatedly invading Huaibei as a temptation.

However, after the Xuzhou army strongly intervened in this situation, there was some peace in the north, and several large enemy troops temporarily retreated, not daring to get too close to Huaishui.

And Shen Zhezi was not polite, and immediately concentrated the few boats in the town, transported the soldiers across the Huaishui, and uprooted some fort strongholds in Qianhu along the river, so as to completely control the Huaishui before the arrival of spring. As soon as the spring tide arrives, the south boat fare is used to this point, whether it is to cross the water to the north, or to defend the river, there will be a great home advantage.

Compared with military dispatch, civil affairs are much more complex.

The foundation of Shouchun is much superior to the defense area that Shen Zhezi took over before, not only the city defense is well preserved, but even the scale of Tuntian in the early years has been retained a lot. Especially around the vicinity of Shaobi, as long as it is slightly repaired and cultivated, tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land can be obtained.

However, the acquisition of Dingkou is not very optimistic, after the initial inspection and naturalization, the acquisition of Dingkou is not more than 10,000 households, 50,000 or 60,000 people. This figure is much worse than the 120,000 people Shen Zhezi initially expected.

The mastery of those dock masters, as well as their self-preservation of staying out of the matter, are even beyond Shen Zhezi's imagination. This is also one of the problems that have mainly plagued Shen Zhezi recently, and it is also quite a headache for this.

Spring is coming, and after a few months of governance, the weather inside and outside Shouchun City is also beginning.

The city has been expanded many times to accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians. Now there are five armies stationed in the city, plus the recruited people, there are nearly 30,000 people. Some of the naturalized households have been sent to the countryside to settle in the tuntian, but more than 2,000 families remain in the cities.

One day in spring, a large number of drivers and elite armor soldiers appeared inside and outside Shouchun City, and they rushed to Jincheng. When the people of the inner and outer cities saw this scene, they knew that something big should happen.

Jincheng, as the inner city of Shouchun, is a purely military fortress, with many barracks and barns within the high walls, and the most eye-catching building is the Inner History Mansion located in the north of the city.

At this time, more than 100 Huainan military and political officials had gathered inside and outside the mansion, except for some who had no time to withdraw from heavy responsibilities, and it could be said that they had gathered together. At this time, Shen Hou, the general of the town, had not yet appeared, and everyone gathered in groups to talk about miscellaneous matters.

It wasn't until noon that Shen Zhezi showed up. He wore a small crown, rhino skin light armor covered with a green shirt, and he was handsome but also a little majestic, and walked slowly here surrounded by several personal soldiers.

The people present greeted each other one after another, and the old department didn't feel how it was, but although many Huainan people were respectful on the surface, they always felt something strange in their hearts. It is really this envoy who is too young, and the age of the weak crown has already sat in the border county town, commanding tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

"You've been waiting for a long time, please come in."

Shen Zhezi walked to the front and hugged his fists slightly, and entered the hall first, and then a group of civil and military officials entered, and each took a seat according to his ministry qualifications.

After Shen Zhezi entered the table, he was not in a hurry to speak, but took a roster handed by Du He and read it silently. The hundreds of people in the banquet can be said to be a framework for him to run Huainan, and he has only seen a few new officials, especially some local children, who are really difficult to be familiar with.

"I invite you here today, in addition to official business, there is also personal friendship. Foolishly worthy of the king's order, he entered this realm. Although the captives in the realm have been swept away, there is still a long way to go if you want to share long-term peace with the people. After today's meeting, there is no need to divide the guest and the host, all of you are the king's ministers, look up to the law of the country, and make a decision. Legality and human affection are integrated. Before the side affairs were not peaceful, today can be a little cured of the thin feast, and I hope to forgive me for the rudeness. ”

Shen Zhezi spoke first and spoke to the representatives of several villagers nearby. There are three people sitting near Shen Zhezi, named Zhu Feng, Li Tao, and Ling Zhuo, all of whom are the masters of the dock wall with thousands of families in this township.

The youngest of the three, Ling Zhuo, was already forty years old, probably disdainful of serving as a subordinate official of Shen Zhezi, who was only a drop in the bucket in their eyes, and none of them accepted the official position granted by Shen Zhezi.

Hearing Shen Zhezi say this, Zhu Feng, the eldest of the three, bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "The horse is too modest, and the entry of the king master is like a sudden wind, and it can be described as a strong force to sweep the people in the realm in an instant." We and other villagers are also looking forward to Made Zhengze Township to alleviate the long-term abuse of the villagers! ”

"Zhu Lao Yin wants to send me, although there is fear in his heart, he will do his best. Even if there is a slight mistake, there are also villagers who are upright, and they will not harm the township. ”

Shen Zhezi laughed, only a trace of coldness passed under his eyes.

This Zhu Feng can be said to be a typical five poisons in the Jiangbei dock wall masters, this person is from Runan, and the crowd has traveled here, and the rest of the begging work has taken root in this township for a longer time than the ancestral family, and he is the co-owner of more than a dozen dock walls in the western border of Shouchun, and the Dingkou that he alone has mastered may be more than Shen Zhezi now.

Although there is no evidence of slavery, in fact, whenever there is turmoil, he also plunders the nearby shore and annexes other countries. At the same time, he relied on the old and sold the old, Shen Zhezi had been invited several times before, but even the old rules were turned away. This appearance, probably with the idea of hitting Shen Zhezi's prestige.

"The old and decrepit people are unbearable, and the only people they know are the Sangzi family. The horse was originally an extraordinary young sage in Jiangdong, and he was entrusted by the king to use it heavily. Today, the cheeky people live here, but it is still difficult for the horse to be gracious, and the ugliness is just a little exposed in front of people. ”

Zhu Feng said with a smile, and the two people next to him also smiled and swept towards the other villagers in the banquet, with a slight disdain in their eyes. Their own strength is there, whether it is the Jiangdong Jin people or the Jiangbei Qianhu here, they don't need to rush to the forefront to cater to it.

"Without going into any gossip, let's talk about the current military and political affairs."

These people were stubborn and incomprehensible, and Shen Zhezi didn't bother to entangle with them, and when the meaning was expressed, he turned to look at Du He on the side and motioned to start today's main topic.

"The disaster has come to this, the people are innocent, and the king enters the country, and the first thing is to educate ......"

The topic at the beginning of the meeting was to explain the results of this period of time, as well as the employment situation of each family in the township. The main forces of the dock wall are big and small, and there is no lack of contradictions between them. Therefore, recently, some people have been hired one after another, and they will read it out again today, which can be regarded as familiar to each other.

These people who were used naturally did not dare to put on the posture of Zhu Feng and them, and when they read the name of the ministry, they got up one after another to meet the envoy. In this process, Zhu Feng and the others occasionally showed disdainful smiles, and Shen Zhezi ignored them, just laughed at those who worshipped, and all of them encouraged a few words.

"The scorched earth is restored, and people's livelihood and military affairs are the top priority. Before the luck of the thief, I didn't dare to take credit. There are many scattered people in the realm, hungry and cold, and their lives are difficult to continue. If people are left without food and clothing, what is the difference between the royal system and the outside world? ”

After Du He finished speaking, Shen Zhezi spoke again and began to talk about reality: "In the past, he recruited people and cultivated wasteland, and he had a little effort, but he didn't pick up the superficial. There are still many people in the township who are abused by the world, and there are many villagers here, who should know far more than me. ”

Hearing Shen Zhezi's speech directly pointing to the most sensitive topic of population, the local villagers present could not be indifferent. Whether they choose to belong or isolate themselves, although their attitudes are different, they actually yearn for a result that is most beneficial to them.

"The nostalgia is different, I dare not talk about the same customs, the king rules in the locality, naturally also need to adapt measures to local conditions, in order to complement each other. I didn't know about the nostalgia before, I didn't dare to talk about it, but recently I finally had little shallow knowledge, and I talked about it with you. ”

Taking the dossier handed over by Du He, Shen Zhezi lowered his head and read: "The importance of people's livelihood is only relief and production. In the early years of the old tun, the villagers led the reclamation together, and the deeds were discussed. Later, there are still detailed rules under the government, depending on the township, the people raise the elderly, and the people are communist. Three points of public money, three points of military funds, and four points of civilian use. As for the private reclamation of Heze, reluctantly not expropriated, do you have any objections? ”

When everyone heard this, they were stunned at first, and then some people couldn't help but dance their eyebrows. As for Zhu Feng and the others, the look of contempt in their eyes when they looked at Shen Zhezi was even stronger.

Shen Zhezi's reclamation order can be described as a great concession, and the so-called communism of the people and elders is tantamount to admitting that their original sheltered population will not be requisitioned. Regardless of the private reclamation of Heze, it is that they do not even touch all the land on the original dock wall. Land and population, the two most important issues, are not touched.

However, even with such a big concession, there are still people who are not satisfied. After Zhu Feng groaned for a while, he asked again: "I don't know if this order can be legislated for the Taiwan Pavilion?" Moreover, the production is still a one, the villagers are weak, and the old tun is difficult to reclaim, so how should the relief be arranged? The countryside is poor, and the six-point expropriation is too harsh? If there is an urgency in the war, will military funds be levied? ”

"Zhu Lao asked, deeply concerned about the people's diseases, and indeed worthy of the benevolent elders. If it weren't for the retention of the Taiwan Pavilion, I really wanted to recommend Zhu Lao to be in this town, or the rule would not be far away. ”

Hearing that Zhu Feng openly questioned the legitimacy of Shen Zhezi's decree, the generals in the banquet couldn't help but look at each other angrily, but Shen Zhezi still raised his hand to signal them to be calm, turned his head and laughed: The old thing has such ideas, why don't you ask the Taiwan Pavilion to appoint you as the internal history of Huainan? I have been in this township for so many years, and I haven't seen you benefit the villagers!

Hearing Shen Zhezi's words, there was a burst of laughter in the banquet, not only the old department of Liang County was indignant, but even the local villagers in Huainan inevitably blamed the old thing.

"As for the relief that Zhu Lao said, there is also a pre-plan in the town. Previously, the water in the east was exhausted, and it was difficult to transport resources. Now that the spring tide has risen, the boats will go north. At that time, Jindu in the realm is located, and there will be warehouses, and the grain and silk will be here, half for relief, and half for the market. All Chinese villagers can benefit from it. ”

Speaking of this, Shen Zhezi's face was already solemn, and he said: "Smooth navigation is the most important thing for the state and civil use. Where there is water theft and private piety, where there is filling in the soil and causing siltation, check and behead! ”

Originally, the atmosphere in the hall was still relaxed, but with Shen Zhezi's words, the atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Especially in the realm, the young man in front of him realized that the young man in front of him was not an ignorant and cowardly person, but a young commander with a male soldier in his hand.

If the previous reclamation order was a big concession of weakness, then the next storage and escort is a soft knife and a hard machete.

Before Zhu Feng could open his mouth to speak, Shen Zhezi had already looked at it sharply: "In addition, although Hu Kou has been eliminated in the realm, there is still no appeasement in the countryside, and there is no shortage of bandits and thieves fleeing to the mountains. In the coming days, the king will be in all directions, and he will return to the villagers to calm and peace! At that time, if there is a shortage of resources, I hope that the villagers can help a little bit. When the warehouse is completed, there will be a generous payment! ”

"The old man was a little tired and couldn't wait for the horse for a long time, so he took his leave."

When Zhu Feng heard this, his face was even worse, and he directly pushed the case, and the two people next to him, including a few people under the table, stood up and put on a posture of advancing and retreating together.

"In the early years, I heard the old proverb in the township, the old donkey is stubborn, and if you go along with it, you will be happy, and if you go against it, you will be violent. I am young and courageous, and I will continue to say a little, but in fact, it is meaningless or obedient or rebellious, the old donkey is stubborn, and it is suitable to kill the banquet guests, which can be regarded as useless. ”

Shen Zhezi also stood up from the seat, flicked the hilt of the sword at his waist with his nails, and said with a smile: "Since Elder Zhu has already arrived, why don't you wait for a while." The mansion is quite far away from the town, and there are still a few orders left, if it is passed on by mistake, it is inevitable that there will be misunderstandings. ”
