"The Privy Council is too humble. Isn't the track a good time to use? Zhi Keda said sincerely, "Although Zhi Keda is lonely and unheard, Fangcheng Rail has heard of it. Three hundred and sixty days a year, goods can be transported across the mountains every day, where it is like Bianshui, only seven or eight months a year can come in handy, even if you can use a sleigh to transport goods in the middle of winter, it is not usable for at least two months. ”

"It's different." Han Gang shook his head.

The Fangcheng Railway, which is the main transportation artery of the country, is almost at the same level as Bianshui, and the Xindai Railway wants to play a greater role, at least connecting to Taiyuan, and at the same time ensuring that the trade route to the Liao State is unimpeded.

The track from Xinzhou to Daizhou runs through the whole line, of which Xinkouzhai and Daxiaowangzhuang are two key nodes. But as long as it cannot be connected to Taiyuan, the civilian value of the entire track is almost zero.

However, once it is completed, it can continue to repair to the south. Bypass Yuci, pass through Taigu and Pingyao, follow the Fenhe Valley, and repair to Guanzhong. That is, the line of the Tongpu Railway in later generations, all the way to Hezhongfu, to Fenglingdu by the Yellow River - of course, this is a matter of the future, and there is no technology and management ability to build and operate such a long railway in a short period of time.

As for repairing to Kaifeng, there is no need to fantasize, to pass through Taihang, one of the eight Taihang Mountains, the project is too difficult.

So the key now is the section from Xinzhou to Taiyuan, to let the track cross the Chitang Pass or Shiling Pass.

Han Gang pinched off the beginning and end of a paragraph, hid some inconvenient content, and explained it to Zhi Keda, and the head of the next generation of the Fuzhou Zhe family immediately understood.

Of course, the dead-end road is not as good as the thoroughfare that can be connected with the big and small roads, from the military point of view, the baggage can go a little more on the track, and when it can't go, then go down to change the official road and use people to push and pull the horse. There is no need to think too much about the cost and manpower, and the dead-end road can be used.

But after it becomes civilian, it is necessary to send people all the way to the place where they want to get off the bus, and they cannot leave them halfway. Otherwise, no one will sit on it.

"If it can really be connected to Taiyuan, businessmen will definitely come to do business, and Daizhou and Xinzhou will soon recover."

"Of course, business travel is good, but the private industry is based on agriculture and industry, and the number of household registrations is the most important thing."

Zhe Ke nodded yes. Since ancient times, it has only been said that farming and reading heirlooms, not that work and reading heirlooms. But now in the peaceful years, if the family masters a few workshops, it will not be a star and a half worse than opening up a few more hectares of fields.

"This time, Keda sent a group of displaced people back. There will be a lot of people who will return to their hometowns next, and there will be a 134,000 hukou, which will almost be able to prop up the shelves of Daizhou first. ”

"It would be nice if there were really 13,000 or 4 thousand accounts. Although it has only been a month since the agreement was signed, almost all of the people who were able to come back have returned. In fact, there are so many hukou in Daizhou, and it should be thankful that there are 10,000 households. Hedong households have always had a large population, and they don't like to divide their families, so it is common for a family of more than ten or twenty people. But now if you count the population of each household, it's almost the same as Jiangnan, which is easy to divide. ”

Although Zhe Keda did not know the details of Hedong's household registration, he knew the situation in Ludao Prefecture. In Fuzhou Township, a family of thirty or fifty people has seen it. And he broke his family, just counting his single household registration, there are hundreds of people. has become a household of three or four people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the loss of people is really shocking. Moreover, he escorted thousands of displaced families back to Daizhou, and understood that what Han Gang said was not an exaggeration.

"And what is the Privy going to do?"

"Move the people to the real side."

Han Gang didn't mind talking a little more about political affairs with the military general Zhe Keda, and he also hoped that Zhi Kexing, who was behind Zhi Keda, would hear a little.

On the east side of the river, the Daizhou garrison should be rebuilt. It is necessary to support the building of the Shenwu Army and arrange for the relocation of troops stationed in various localities. It is necessary for the Fuzhou family to cooperate to a certain extent.

For this reason, he had already gone to Xinfu Prefecture before, so that Zhi Kexing could do anything without worrying about the reaction of the Liao people and the imperial court. That's the exchange.

After surrendering to the enemy, Han Gang was preparing to concentrate them in the interior of Xinzhou, not in a few walled forts at strategic nodes. It is not intended to be punished, but it is essential to control the use - this is different from the Guangrui Army, which was almost an official force back then. The people rebelled, and this is a thief, and the nature is completely different.

And the Shenwu Army taken from the Liao State, if there are not enough Han people to live in peace, then it will not take a few years, and it will still turn back to Wuzhou of the Liao State. In order to firmly control the nascent Shenwu Army, the available core population is indispensable.

"I'm not worried about Daizhou and Xinzhou. But the Shenwu Army must have at least 3,000 households, and it must be the people of China, otherwise it will be difficult to stabilize. ”

Taking into account the identity of Zhe Keda, Han Gang did not use the Han people, but the people of China. "The princes will be razed by Yili, and Yidi will be China's if it is close to China", although the Zhejia family is a party member, but they have served the king for a long time, and they can already be regarded as the people of China. Unlike Jiaozhi, many of them are of Han Chinese ancestry, but they have turned their backs on China, that is, the barbarians who 'enter the Yi and the Yi'. Han Gang's attention to detail made Zhe Keda feel very intimate.

"And the Western Army can't always be stationed in the Shenwu Army like this. After a long time, the morale of the army will fluctuate, and it will be difficult to do. ”

Zhe Ke blinked: "What does the privy mean?" ”

"This western army in the Shenwu Army has migrated over with their families, so that they don't have to worry about the army's uncertainty."

Han Gang recalled how he took advantage of the opportunity of the great drought in the world to stabilize the Hehuang Prefectures, and said in his heart that it would be much easier if there was a sudden catastrophe in the mainland. But it was just a thought, and he was immediately pinched off by himself.

While the two were talking, the noodles were already cooked. Scoop it out of the pot with a grub, soak it in cold water, and put it on a plate.

The green and shiny cold noodles are just oiled, salted, vinegared, sprinkled with flax, and eaten in summer, which makes people taste great.

Zhe Ke is tired from running around, tired and tired, and his energy is not high, but the sour cold noodle entrance is suddenly energetic.

"This side is good!" Zhe Ke praised it, and swallowed it regardless of his manners.

Han Gang tasted it and nodded, thinking it was also quite good. said with a smile: "Isn't our hard work just to be able to eat a cold meal in peace?" ”

……………………

After chatting for a while at Huang Shang, Zhang Qi said goodbye and left.

Huang Shang sat at the table and thought for a moment, then got up and went out to the side courtyard.

Yanmen County is still under renovation, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and there is almost no progress in the restoration work. Tian Zhen, the newly appointed magistrate of Yanmen, is unlikely to move there within this year.

Tian Yu was buried in the case at this time. The five-foot-wide table was filled with tall books. Although it is said that before the Liao army left Daizhou City, it had burned down the cabinet treasury of the state and county offices, but some of the household registration field books were fortunately preserved. And the missing parts are now being rebuilt.

Hearing the movement of Huang Sheng entering the door, Tian Yu got up to greet him: "Mian Zhong, why are you here?" Is it to find the privy councilor? ”

"Isn't the privy gone? How...... Has Zhang Qianfu been here? ”

"Zhang Zhifu has also been to Mian Zhong, you have been? Just now, Zhang Qianfu came to look for the privy secret, and thought that you were the same. Tian Zhen laughed twice, "You didn't see Zhang Zhifu's angry appearance, most likely because he was angry with the privy council." ”

"What about you?"

"The privy council should be idle. It is also appropriate that Zhang Qianfu and I are busy. Each in his own right. Tian Yu asked the little official to pour tea, and asked Huang Shang: "It's Mian Zhong, why don't you study today?" ”

"Little brother is here to congratulate you." Huang Shang smiled: "Xinzhi Yanmen, the prince of Baili." ”

Tian Yan touched his sunken cheek and smiled.

Han Gang recommended him as the magistrate of Yanmen County, and now the imperial court has approved several of Han Gang's recommendation seals. Tian Yu officially took over Yanmen, and Zhang Ji became Tian Yan's top boss. But one errand after another in his hand, which seemed to be able to crush people to death, only left time for Tian Yu to celebrate.

When I think back to the hard work I have put in in the past few months, I don't even have much to celebrate: "Once I crossed the Yanmen Pass, I was really thin like a monkey." ”

Tian Yu, who was originally heavy, has completely lost weight at this time, and he can't see a place worthy of the name on his body. In a big war, the hardest and most tiring errand was to be in charge of grain and straw freight, and Tian Yu worked hard, and he was grateful for Han Gang's kindness, so he was even more tired.

"Chengbo, you are now the magistrate of the county, it's time to find a few staff."

"I didn't expect that the imperial court would really approve the privy's recommendation. In terms of merit, it is not as good as Mian Zhong, and you are not from a Jinshi background, your qualifications are even more shallow, and the Yanmen Zhixian is not something that a Beijing official can do. Tian Yan shook his head and sighed, "Where did you find it at this time?" Let's do our best. He raised his eyes and smiled at Huang Shang, "The privy can go out to the market, is it confident?" Or did you already know that there would be this result, so you just went out to relax? ”

Huang Sheng shook his head lightly: "...... I don't know how to do it, maybe it's both. ”

Confidence and mood do not contradict each other in the first place. The confidence of returning to the capital and being clearly told that the two governments did not want him to return to Beijing and the bad mood existed in Han Gang's heart at the same time, which was called normal.

Waiting for the little official to hand over the tea, Huang Sheng asked Tian Yu: "Chengbo will be a genuine county magistrate from today." I don't know if the charter is still there? ”

"The top priority is to resettle the displaced people who have returned to their hometowns and rebuild their homes, houses, fields, farm tools, food rations, and seeds, and this should not be delayed for a moment." Tian Yu sighed again, "But lawsuits are also indispensable." In only two days, seven complaints have already been handed in. ”

Huang Sheng was not surprised: "Fighting for production? ”

"Hmm. When the neighbors did not return, they removed the boundary markers in the fields. When the neighbors come back, can they still stop making trouble? There is still a bitter lord in this. In fact, there are more encroachments on the land, and there will not even be a first complaint. ”
