When the general took Zhang Jun's second son Zhang Chonghua to the palace, Huan Xuan, Li Hong and other important ministers of Guanlong's civil and military affairs were also seated, and everyone in the palace also returned to the table.

Jiang Yu stood under the jade steps in front of the general's seat, raised his hand to the side, and the melodious sound of the piano chime sounded in the back hall, announcing the official start of the feast.

Although Jiang Yu himself did not hold a specific position in Guanzhong, he came here on a fake holiday, and his level was equal to that of Yongzhou Assassin Shi Huanxuan, and he was not required to serve as a master of ceremonies at all.

However, he felt that the general had a grudge against him, so he simply took the initiative to take on this responsibility, anyway, the general would leave soon after, and he would stay in Guanzhong for two or three years. After returning to Xingtai, the general would not still remember this old grudge and seek revenge, so he made up his mind not to go near the past until the general left.

In the solemn and lively sound of the banquet, there is no lack of curiosity and excitement in the hearts of everyone in the hall∠ To be honest, for such a grand scale and nearly 1,000 people attending the banquet, there is no lack of novelty in the Chenzhong Guanlong season, and there is really little such experience before.

The scale of the whole hall is extremely grand, even if there are nearly 1,000 seats, it is not cramped, and there are waiters, maidservants, and other light steps in the music, passing food and cloth. Many seats at the bottom were arranged in a fan shape, and they looked up to General Shen above the stairs hall.

There are more than 20 seats above, in addition to General Shen and Zhang Chonghua, who represents Lianggong Zhang Jun, and several important ministers of Xingtai, there are also some village sages and elders personally invited by Xingtai before, such as Jingzhao Du Yan and others, who are also seated near the general.

Zhang Chonghua, as Zhang Jun's heir, although he has also seen a lot of big scenes, but because of the closest General Shen, there are inevitably many crampedness in his heart.

In addition to being simply ashamed of himself, General Shen is even his father who has to retreat a little and be willing to be the world's right man, although his attitude towards himself is still kind, but he has always tightened a string in his heart, and he does not dare to get carried away and be rude.

After taking his seat, he looked to the left and right, and when he saw a long-bearded scribe sitting three seats away from him on the left, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned. And the middle-aged scribe also noticed Zhang Chonghua's slightly surprised gaze, so he bowed his head slightly to Zhang Chonghua.

Zhang Chonghua didn't dare to slack off, and bowed his hand slightly sideways, but his mood was really not calm. The middle-aged man's name is Guo He, a native of Luoyang, Qinzhou, is the premier master of scripture in Longyou, in his early years, because of the turmoil in Longshang and avoided living in Hexi, even those wealthy clans in Liangzhou who have always been above the top do not dare to slack off on their people, and they are courteous, and even many children come and go under their doors to carry out disciple etiquette.

Zhang's several generations of management of Hexi, for cultural and educational matters are also very important, reverence for Confucianism, for Guo He, such a famous master of the West of the great master of scripture naturally did not dare to slacken, because it is repeatedly with special gifts, but Guo He has never been, just to avoid Zhangye to study. Even in the early years, when Zhang Chonghua was made his heir by his father, he also wanted to invite Guo He to Jincheng to educate his children, but Guo He refused.

Such a well-known scripture room, even the Zhang family, as the overlord of Hexi, did not dare to slack off, if he really bullied and humiliated, he would ruin the morale of the people. is such a person who is not afraid of power and is quiet and self-controlled, but he doesn't know when he left Hexi, and now he is a guest of General Shen!

Thinking that Guo He was not sensitive to his family's many courtesies, but now he is catering to the stage in the opposite way, Zhang Chonghua is full of youth, and he is inevitably a little apprehensive in his heart. After a while, he seemed to realize something, and looked sideways to the other side, only to see General Shen look at him with a smile.

The handsome face was full of easy-going and indifferent, but it made his heartstrings tremble, as if something was on his mind that was pierced by those clear eyes, and he hung his head and didn't dare to have any more distractions.

After that, General Shen didn't blindly look at him, because of the condescending cheapness, Zhang Chonghua looked down, only to find that there were many cool sides in the seats below, and there was even no shortage of family members of the Liangtu Tyrant Sect he was familiar with.

Some of those people also noticed Zhang Chonghua's gaze, but they did not reveal any embarrassment and crampedness, and it was this indifference that made Zhang Chonghua's heart can't help but overflow with cold air≯ Under him, his experience is still shallow, or he can't know what these phenomena mean in detail, but he remembers in his heart that when he returns later, he must report to his father in detail.

In the vast hall, Zhang Chonghua is not the only one who has a heart, but few people show it.

Accompanied by melodious music, after the meal was arranged, General Shen got up from the top to hold the cup and congratulate him, and everyone hurriedly raised their glasses in response, and then they started to eat a few meals, mostly fresh, warm or cold, although the categories are rich, the total amount is not much. Of course, everyone's minds are not here, even if they are greedy for appetite, they will not care too much about this.

The first meal lasted for nearly two quarters of an hour, and when I saw the general above put down his cups and chopsticks, everyone was also on their toes after a little food. After that, the messenger stepped forward and removed the cups and offered tea, wine, cheese, dried food, and so on.

At this time, the music was also heard, and the atmosphere in the hall was solemn for a while. After a while, General Shen's smile sounded in the hall: "I'm not afraid of you laughing, I am also an ordinary person with a vulgar character and a happy personality." Since receiving the king's order, although there have been difficulties in the past, I have been able to get the world's virtuous people to gather together, and see this full house, even if there is any fatigue, they are all left behind, and they are greatly relieved. There are very few people who can surpass this in the world, I don't know if you can feel the same way? ”

Although the general's tone was casual and casual, everyone did not dare to speak rashly to respond, only smiling and bowing his head, without losing his reserved posture, and after a while, Jingzhao Du Yan said drunkly: "Today's Shengle scene, Guanzhong will not last long n years, even if there is a desire to connect the hometown, each has its own anxiety, how can you have fun here." Today's joys, such as morning dew and rain, are common, but the people of my long-stranded hometown know that luxury is rare. If there is no revival of the royal industry, if there is no great general's heroic intentions, the realm of Kansai can be restored! ”

"Du Gong praised me so much, but I was ashamed. The world is tired, the king has been succumbing for a long time, and the years of disasters have accumulated, how can a mere person save it? Fortunately, in the favor of providence, I was able to win the help of the people, and I was able to boast of my deeds. Today's invitation to gather the sages of the countryside is also to thank you for understanding the righteousness, helping to do things, putting things right, and clearing the Haiyan River is not far away. ”

Shen Zhezi said this, looked sideways at Huan Xuan, and said: "Please also ask Changshi to tell you a little about the various creations since the restoration of Kansai. ”

When everyone heard this, they all cheered up and pricked up their ears one by one. In the past two years, they have also deeply felt all kinds of changes in the countryside, but they are either limited by their horizons or limited to the pattern, and they do not have a general understanding of the overall situation.

The person named by the general is named Zhang Jian, when the general started to become a general, he served as the general's deputy, and then although he was not as always reused as Du He, but he was also a confidant, and after the recovery of Guanzhong, he was sent to serve as the long history of Huan Xuan.

After hearing this, Zhang Jian stood up and walked to the general to worship first, and then retreated to the side steps to face the crowd, and then said loudly: "The construction of Yongzhou began in the summer of the fourth year of Qitai."

Zhang Jian first talked about the recovery of Guanzhong, and then stated all kinds of contents, from the establishment and restoration of counties at all levels, to the establishment of military governments, to the reclamation, mulberry planting, water conservancy, and so on, which can be described as all-encompassing.

In the past two years, Guanzhong has achieved tremendous results. One of the most direct manifestations is that the number of registered people in the counties and counties under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Thorn Prefecture has reached more than 300,000, adding nearly 2 million ruling population to Xingtai.

In the dense pass, after hearing this number, they couldn't help but exclaim, I didn't expect that there were so many people alive in the pass after a long time.

Although this number is staggering, if you look closely, there is actually a mystery in it. Among the more than 300,000 households, as many as 100,000 are Qiang and many miscellaneous tribesmen. Thanks to Wang Shi's tough attitude towards these Hu people, almost all the Hu people who could be collected in the realm were naturalized, crushing their original tribal dependency and becoming the people of the household.

These Hu people themselves did not have a fixed local foundation, and most of them lacked the skills of Fu weaving, so they could not be regarded as ordinary tax units, but this did not mean that they were completely useless, and they were the main conscription bearers of many constructions in Guanzhong during this period. It is precisely because of such abundant manpower that Guanzhong can achieve brilliant results in such a short period of time.

In previous years, Guanzhong had been war-torn for a long time, and even Chang'an City was dilapidated. In the past two years, there have been more than a dozen cities alone, and although it cannot be said that they have been completely restored, at least a relatively complete city network has been built on this basis.

With a city, there are basic nodes that gather people, and these nodes are linked to each other to form a network with a wide coverage. Under this network, the people can resume farming and weaving, and communicate with each other, which is the most important guarantee for the recovery of a place's vitality.

And it is precisely because of this that the acres of cultivated land in Yongzhou Thorn Mansion have reached as many as 80,000 hectares, not including the military government Jiatian and the shady land of the township. Of course, this number is nothing compared to the fame of the country of abundance in Guanzhong, and the output per acre is not self-sufficient at all, and there is still great room for expansion.

But when you consider that this is an achievement in less than two years, it is jaw-dropping. Moreover, these acres of cultivated land are not the only source of wealth in Guanzhong, and they cannot even be said to be the main source of income.
