The cold north wind swept across the reckless land, rushed to Luoyang City, and suddenly overflowed the low city walls and swooped into the city. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe willows on the bank of the Luo River have already lost their leaves, and the wind blows the bare branches, making a whining sound, tearing off the fine willow branches from time to time, and whipping them to the ground like a whip.

Wang Gongchen stepped on the ice ballast, stomped hard, and said to Xu Ping beside him: "This day, it's really frozen!" ”

"yes, it's frozen, but I still have to do the work." Xu Ping faced north, letting the cold north blow on his face. "Before the beginning of spring, the embankments of the dams must be repaired, otherwise there will be no way to start construction when the snow and ice melt and there will be mud everywhere. By the way, the ditch you use in the field is the same, but don't wait for it to be warmed. ”

Wang Gongchen said: "It's almost finished, and now it's a place where there is a shortage of people to live, and there are roads everywhere." In the past few months, I have recruited a lot of people from Jinghu Road, and you don't believe it, there are still many barbarians who volunteer to work in the camp. Coupled with the tens of thousands of people who repair the river here, the camp on Jingxi Road may be able to recruit 100,000 people this year, which is the number of people in the state. ”

Xu Ping said with a smile: "The more people, the better, when you have more than one million people under the rule of the camp and field, you will be equivalent to a captain all the way to the camp." If it's really compared to money and food, maybe you're still the richest all the way. ”

Wang Gongchen shook his head embarrassedly: "This job, when Yunxing first recommended me to go, I still muttered in my heart, in the past, the camp and field affairs were all presided over by a public official sent by the magistrate of Zhizhou County, and I was not even willing to choose someone." Good or bad, I'm also a champion, a person who rides a royal horse across the overpass, how can I be a servant? Fortunately, knowing that you would never harm me, I gritted my teeth and went. After doing it this year, I realized that this work is not simple, and the knowledge is great! ”

"The things of the world, as long as you do it with your heart, everything is learned, you have understood!"

Wang Gongchen laughed: "Ha, ha, ha, I'm not an old monk, where did I come from!" However, after doing the field work this year, I know how to get grain and grass out of the field, and I also know how to produce more. It's not that I'm boasting about Haikou here, if I do it for another two years, I can provide six million stone grains a year for field work! ”

Xu Ping looked at Wang Gongchen and shook his head: "You are still boasting, one acre and one stone, that's six million acres!" One husband plows one acre of land, it will take a full 60,000 people, plus the loss of personnel in the field work, it will be doubled, 120,000 husbands, but it is much larger than Henan Mansion. Not to mention that there are cotton fields and pastures under the camp fields, which is equivalent to the population of several major states. ”

Wang Gongchen waved his hand again and again: "Yunxing, you are too underestimate me!" This year, the fields under the camp are more than two stones per acre, and they must not be missing! Even if you add all kinds of cotton fields, pastures, reeds, etc., it only needs more than 100,000 households! ”

"It's not easy for hundreds of thousands of households, Jingxi Road is equivalent to several states."

Wang Gongchen grinned: "If the camp recruits people, the population of the surrounding states and counties will flee, but I will not refuse to come." People go to high places, and water flows to low places, which does not blame me. ”

"That's your ability, you have your own state and county magistrates punished, and I don't care what you do. However, it is estimated that the tax service on Jingxi Road will also be reduced in the next two years, and you may not be able to recruit many people. ”

Wang Gongchen smiled slightly, and he didn't go to his heart at all. Not to mention Jingxi Road, now his camp is between Kaifeng Mansion and Jingdong Road, and there are no fewer people from these two places, and the people of Jingxi Road are far worse than those two places.

Looking at the dredged and dug deep river, Wang Gongchen said: "How good this is, no matter how big the water is, it will not rush to the shore." This idle river beach can be repaired and repaired, and it can be used as a grass market, so that people can buy and sell here. Such a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, why did the successive Cao envoys and Henan Mansion not do it, and they had to wait until you came to do it. ”

Walking to the river, looking at the river far below the bank, Xu Ping sighed: "How do you know how much food and manpower were spent to renovate the river in Luoyang City!" If it weren't for the victims of Jingdong, and you would have been able to lend food there, I would have more than enough to do—"

Wang Gongchen stepped on the ice ballast by the river, kept jumping around, like a child, and said to Xu Ping: "Speaking of borrowed money and grain, I can say that in the front, even the capital and interest will be cleared together in the coming year." I also have to make accounts, and I can't hang here for a long time, and it's not easy to explain to the court. ”

Xu Ping smiled slightly: "The land where you are engaged in field work is to open up wasteland on Jingxi Road, and everyone has said that everyone will divide it, and the money and grain owed will be deducted from the place you should give it, what are you worried about?" ”

Wang Gongchen shook his head again and again, ignoring Xu Ping again. This is obviously a trick, do you want to empty gloves white wolf?

The two stood quietly on the shore, facing the bitter cold wind, and did not speak for a long time.

In a year's time, Wang Gongchen is no longer the stunned young champion who reads in the pavilion, and in the year of camp and field affairs, he has made achievements and really exercised himself. Maybe he still lacks the crawling and rolling in the officialdom, is a little ignorant about politics, and sometimes seems naïve, but he is already stronger than most officials in the world when dealing with specific government affairs.

People are tempered, as long as you grit your teeth and fight, you can always usher in your own piece of the sky.

After a long time, Wang Gongchen sighed: "This winter, you have put a lot of effort into Luoyang City, spent countless money, food and manpower, and if you can't bear fruit in the autumn, you can't-"

Xu Ping patted Wang Gongchen on the shoulder and said slowly: "I know, I have picked up a thousand catties of heavy burden on my shoulders, and I must make a name for myself!" People, sometimes they have to press it, and it is really a big deal to start all over again. At least I've done it myself, and I won't regret it later! ”

"Well, I don't know what you're for—"

For what? Xu Ping was silent. Because he has the memory of his previous life, he knows that in a few years, the party in the northwest will be reversed. Even if it is won, that war will change everything, the world will change greatly, and the accumulated evils of many years will surface one by one. If I don't carry out the reforms I can now, I don't know what year and month I will have to wait, and I am not reconciled. Even if there is a real accident this time, it is a big deal for me to invite myself to the northwest border and wait for the opportunity to come again. But before that, you must give it a try, no matter what, you still have a good chance of winning. And once you succeed, it is your greatest reward to the world.

Seeing Lu Fang and Chong Shiheng coming over in the distance, Xu Ping said to Wang Gongchen: "Let's go, there are few people you take away, this time you will pick first." However, it is said that the whole team must be picked up, along with the family, and the existing formation must not be dispersed. ”

"I understand, I don't want you to let me break up!"

Wang Gongchen's camp field work was based on Xu Ping's sugar cane field work in Yongzhou, and of course he knew the importance of the organizational structure, so he asked him to break up the personnel and go back to reorganize himself, I don't know how much more effort it would take.

The renovation of the river in Luoyang City has been completed, and the personnel have to be diverted. Wang Gongchen asked seven or eight thousand people to go to the wasteland where the camp was opened up in advance to do all kinds of infrastructure work. More than 10,000 strong men followed Lu Fang to Bishui County to reinforce and refine the newly built dam and river. The section from Bishui to Shakou in Gongxian County is not only an important waterway leading from Luo to Bian, but also a reservoir of huge scale. In summer and autumn, the torrent in the nearby mountains was intercepted to prevent the water level of the newly opened Cao Canal from soaring, and in winter and spring, when the water was scarce, water was released into the Cao Canal to supplement the shortage of water from the Luo River.

Such a large project requires no less manpower than the river dug by Chen Yaozuo, but the road is close and inconspicuous, so it has to be hung under Xu Ping's own name, and Lu Fang, Chong Shiheng and others can do things there.

No way, who makes people's eyes in this era stare at the length of the mileage, how deep the river is, as for the amount of water stored and the amount of excavated earth and stone, everyone is not used to care.

By the spring, when all the work is complete, the victims of JD.com will finally be divided into two parts. More than half of them went to the field with Wang Gongchen to open up wasteland and farm, and the remaining half was added to the newly opened field work in Luoyang City and became workers. In the autumn, cotton was picked in the newly opened wasteland, and it was sent to Luoyang City to spin and weave, and it was transported and sold to various places through the Sansi shop.

Knowing that he didn't have much time, Xu Ping planned all this very tightly, and there was almost no room for time. This is what he tried to avoid in the past, and now he can't manage it so much.

As soon as the system completes its first cycle, the huge benefits generated will form inertia and can no longer be stopped.

Lu Fang and Chong Shiheng stepped forward, greeted each other, and said, "Ducao, the people who repaired the river have all returned to their residences and settled down. It is better to decide which people to be transferred in advance, so that the rest of the people can repair the place where they live as soon as possible. ”

Xu Ping pointed at Wang Gongchen: "I have already told Jun Zhen that he will pick it first this time." Today, when he picks it, the two of you will pick the people who will go to Bishui County. Zhang Dayou has already instructed you, and I will give you convenience. ”

Lu Fang said to Wang Gongchen: "Since Du Cao said so, please raise it." ”

Wang Gongchen laughed: "It's better to be respectful than to obey!" ”

Lu Fang said to Xu Ping again: "Ducao, the excavation of the river below Bishui has been roughly completed, and Chen Xianggong took the people to do some aftermath there." Qinghexiangjun was idle, and the intention of his subordinates was to let them also go to Bishui County to help. ”

Xu Ping nodded: "That's it!" When the river was repaired, the Qinghe Xiangjun would have to move from the old Biankou to Bishui. The river was already a place they cared for, and it was only natural for them to help clean it up. When I get back, the Transit Division will take the paper. ”

"Also, some prisoners were transferred from Jiagu Mountain to Guangwu Mountain to quarry, but now it has been completed. As I said earlier, these people will be released on the spot after doing these things. Chen Xianggong asked me to urge the official documents of the Transfer Department and the Criminal Prosecution Department to go down as soon as possible, so as not to mistake those released prisoners to go home for the New Year. ”
