[I was delayed yesterday, I'm sorry. There is one more before one o'clock. 】

Han Gang's arrival in the old Toyosu did not cause too many waves.

Whether it is from the perspective of integrating the two armies of Hedong and Linfu, or from the perspective of resolving the matter of Fengzhou as soon as possible, it is an inevitable choice for him to move the Marshal's Mansion to the old Fengzhou.

But now it can't be called the old Fengzhou, the Son of Heaven sent an edict, the court moved the text, and the old Fengzhou was renamed Shengzhou. This is also the proper meaning, if this place reverts to the old name, it will be difficult to arrange the current Fengzhou that was divided from Fuzhou. And Shengzhou is also old, and the ancient name of this place is restored, and it can be said where it is placed.

In the afternoon, Han Gang was looking at the scenery at the top of the city. The distant mountains and rivers are all covered by a layer of fresh snow, and the white expanse is not really beautiful.

But this is Han Gang's habit. Whenever you go to a new place, you always have to go up to the top of the city to have a look, learn about the geography around the city, and take some notes by the way, so that you can use them in the future.

The old Toyoshu, that is, the city wall of Shengzhou is not high, just more than two feet, and with the low city head, the wall is also very thin. Standing on the head of the city, Han Gang estimated how much work it would take to break through this city, and the result was very worrying - even the siege level of Western Xia should not be too bothersome, not to mention the Khitans.

The rebuilding of Seongju City is an urgent matter. However, Han Gang now has limited money and food, limited manpower, and even more limited time, and the amount of village defense projects to deal with is amazingly large. The ingredients for three people, but to make a meal for ten people, this is the problem in front of Han Gang. But in any case, the old Toyoshu is in first place.

"According to Long Tu's previous request, for the rebuilding of Shengzhou City, Zhefu Prefecture has given three strategies...... "Huang Shang said behind Han Gang.

"I've seen it before." Hangang Road.

There are three sets of programs for high, medium and low levels. The high plan is built according to the standards of the top border town, and Han Gang does not plan to use it, "The so-called best policy, the money and grain are consumed too much, and the people need a lot, so they are abundant...... Shengzhou, other walled cities should not be repaired, it can only be counted as a goal for the future. Zhe Zun Dao [Zhe Ke Xingzi] is just used to make up the number. The budget of the money, food and manpower that can be used is also given, and the specific construction strategy can only be selected between the middle and lower policies. ”

"What does Long Tu think is better?" Huang Shang asked.

Han Gang turned around and said to Huang Shang: "This matter is left to you, you can gather all the people in the future to discuss it, and report it to me after it is decided." ”

After Huang Shang was stunned for a moment, his heart was suddenly overjoyed, Han Gang handed over this task to him, which was equivalent to turning him from a doorman around him to a precursor to a shogunate with actual functions, where is there any reason for unwillingness, "Huang Shang understands!" "I made up my mind to get this done.

Hearing that Huang Shang's tone of voice had changed when he agreed, Zhi Keshi smiled beside him, and he was not jealous. Looking at the reconstruction of the old Fengzhou and even the construction of the entire Quye Chuan village defense system, who is making the policy, you know that it is not his turn to do this errand.

Han Gang looked at the peaks and mountains covered under the snow in the north, and said after a while: "The Black Mountain Party is expelled to the south for the Khitan, and this matter has been determined. It is expected that the population of the last to go south will not be less than 20,000. Among them, people have different hearts, and there may even be Liao people mixed in with it. I said before that the civil attack and the military guard, with the attack on the heart as the top, taught this group of Montenegrin party members to switch to the Great Song Dynasty, but it seems that it is not enough at the moment. How do you think we should deal with the current situation? ”

Han Gang asked for advice, and Huang Shang got a new errand, so he didn't go to steal the limelight. Zhi Keshi replied: "Shengzhou is a place, the Great Song Dynasty has it, and the Khitan has lost it. For the Liao people, there is nothing to gain and nothing to lose. At present, the military affairs are incomprehensible, but Xiao Shisan's selfishness is the cause. And what can be used is also his selfishness. ”

Han Gang nodded, the reason was correct.

Just as Yelu Yixin's own interests were inconsistent with the interests of the Liao State, the interests of the Liao State were not consistent with Xiao Shisan's private interests. This is a very normal thing, and there is always a gap between personal interests and national interests.

Another example is Han Gang, it is impossible for him to be selfless to the point that everything is based on the interests of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that Han Gang's biggest interest at the moment is to solve the current problems as perfectly as possible on his staff's side, so that his staff, that is, Qi disciples, can get tickets to the officialdom one after another. Therefore, it shares the interests of the Great Song Dynasty.

Huang Shang said: "If you want to take advantage of Xiao Shisan's selfishness, you must understand what he really needs, and then deal with it." The official army took the first step to capture Fengzhou, and Xiao Shisan lost face. The biggest hope is to save face, but there is also the fear that if the fight continues, more face will be lost. ”

Han Gang laughed: "It's not easy to be a caring person, it's okay to calculate the selfishness of Yelu Yixin and Xiao Shisan, it's not too difficult to be considerate of their selfishness?" ”

"Long Tu misunderstood!" Huang Sheng hurriedly said, "Following Long Tu, how can you have the idea of compromising the Liao people?!" ”

"It doesn't matter if he is a party member or a Liao person, there is no need to distinguish it in detail. As long as there is anything suspicious between the actions, it is enough to kill them all. "It's even more refreshing.

Huang Shang said: "It doesn't have to be like this on weekdays. But for now, this is the most convenient. ”

"I see." Han Gang nodded. Rough is rough, but it's concise and effective.

No matter what Xiao Shisan thinks, as long as he still has scruples and doesn't dare to tear his face, the people sent out are killed, and he can only be bitter and unable to speak.

Han Gang didn't take the threat of the Liao people very seriously, and it was a big deal to fight. Yelu Yixin had just stabilized the situation, and it was impossible to rashly tear up the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and even if it started, the war would only be limited to Hedong. Relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers to let Xiao Shisan suffer and go back, Han Gang didn't think it was too difficult.

But the Liao people are not the biggest problem, the biggest problem is how to maintain the rule of Shengzhou for a long time.

At this time, the city gate below was lively again. A team of horses loaded with grain and grass slowly arrived at Shengzhou Castle. In terms of attire, only 20% of the Song army was escorted, and the rest were all party members. Judging from the direction they came, they were transporting grain from Fuzhou.

The grain roads in Linzhou and Fuzhou are not easy to walk. In order to maintain these two grain routes, a total of more than 1,100 Montenegrin party servants and 3,000 horses belonging to them formed more than 20 transport teams to run in them. The tribes of these party members were arranged in the wilderness south of Shengzhou and west of Linzhou, waiting for their families to bring back their subsistence food.

Finally, the long journey was over, and the soldiers and people in the team seemed very relaxed and in a good mood. Looking down from above, there doesn't seem to be much estrangement between the two sides, and you can see that there are a few words to say between them.

Zhe Keshi crossed the pheasant moat and looked at the group of transporters to the bottom, "Seeing that they are in a good mood, this trip should be very smooth." ”

"This time, I can bring a little more grain and grass back, and the more smoothly I bring it back, the more I can bring it back." Huang Shang turned his head to look at Han Gang, "It's also Longtu who uses it well for entering the middle of the country." ”

"It's just fast, and there is still so much grain and grass in the warehouse." Han Gang shook his head.

The proportion of remuneration paid to the party members is not fixed, but the amount that should be received is determined according to the cost of transporting grain and grass under normal conditions, and then the difference between the amount loaded at the time of departure is the remuneration for the transportation of grain by the party members of Montenegro. How much they can save depends on their ability. The faster you go, the more you save, and the more food you get. This method was often used in later generations to save fuel. But in the eyes of people, it is similar to the variant of Nasu in the middle.

"With this incentive, the speed of transshipment is much faster. There is no tribe that does not want to bring back a little more food for the winter to their families and clansmen, and they always transport the grain as quickly as possible. Han Gang looked down and watched as the convoy passed through the city gate, passed through the city gate, and entered the city, "But if you look at the account books, the cost of transshipment is still unabated, and the loss in the middle is amazing." ”

Zhi Keshi was not sure what Han Gang meant, and said tentatively: "...... Fast and provincial, it's difficult to have both, right? ”

Huang Sheng said: "The best way is to increase the population and arable land of Shengzhou as soon as possible. Hedong Road is located in several military prefectures west of the Yellow River, sparsely populated, the land has not been cultivated, and the resources have not been developed, so naturally there will be no fiscal and tax revenue. The imperial court stationed a large army here, and the military salaries, grain and grass had to be transported from the east of the river, and the cost of the middle way was huge, and sooner or later it would cause discussions. Only by becoming a place of taxation, rather than a burden on the imperial court, can the discussion of villains be stopped. ”

Han Gang nodded, "Mian Zhong is right. Huang Sheng is talking to his heart, but this is also the concept he has always instilled in the Qi sect.

Although Shengzhou is located in a dangerous location, a city is related to the safety of Hedong and Yinxia. But there will always be people with rat eyes or ulterior motives who criticize the occupation of Shengzhou as a waste of money and labor. Just as they said back then, seizing Hehuang was a useless move to waste manpower, regardless of the significance of occupying strategic points to national security.

However, the status of this group of people is not low, and to make it clear, they are important ministers of the old party. This group of people has a lot of power and weight, and there are many disciples, so you have to debate with them, and you have to beware of the dizziness of the above. Instead of arguing with them, it is better to build Fengzhou and Hexi Prefectures well, and have enough fiscal and tax revenues to offset the military expenses of the imperial court, and reply with facts.

At that time, the Tuobian Hehuang had a consistent grain price in Weizhou, but when it arrived at the front line of Hehuang, it had to pay ten times the freight. However, after that, the grain production of Gongzhou and Xizhou was developed, as well as special products such as cotton, cotton cloth, oilseeds, and salted fish. In addition, Yongqin merchants formed a huge interest group. So that no one now says that Xihe Road is useless, which is a great joy.

If Katsushu, including the land south of Katsushu, is developed, no one will be heard saying that it will be abandoned.
