On October 20, Zhong Susu went out of the plug, and at this time, there was snow everywhere outside the plug, and there was a white expanse between heaven and earth, only the leaves of the birch trees were still yellow and red. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Her jurisdiction is the town of Monanzhong, the capital of the palace, east to Yuanyangzhai, west to Lingzhao Temple, north to the desert, the jurisdiction is quite wide, there are fertile plains and grasslands, high mountains and mountains, and barren sand and gravel Gobi.

Along the way, she braved the wind and snow, took the Xinghe Institute, and only went to the city of Guihua, and sometimes even the road was not easy to walk, and she also used sleds, horses and other means of transportation.

Zhong Susu led the guards, and the group trekked, the cold wind was bitter, the snow was blowing with the wind, and everywhere was white.

In this vast silver land, the horses' hooves passed, and they were soon covered by the wind and snow, and the group was trekking, as if only their lonely figures were left in the world.

The wind and snow are full of spinning and flying, the cold wind degrades people's muscles and bones, everyone's heads and faces are tightly wrapped, Zhong Susu also wraps his entire face with a face towel, revealing only a pair of bright eyes under the iron-tipped helmet, and the eyelashes tremble, which seem to have a little frosty taste.

Saiwai has always been colder than the Central Plains, although there is snow in Shanxi at present, but it is not so big, it has not yet reached the winter solstice, it has been snowing heavily, if it is the middle of winter, it is even more sad.

This kind of weather is also painful, fortunately all the way over, there are "Yuanyang Village", "Dongyang Village", "Jining Village", "Xiashui Sea Village", "Xiaohehe Village" and other military villages, when resting at night, you can eat hot rice, use hot water, alleviate the pain of traveling.

The establishment of these military villages is also convenient for travelers and passers-by. The merchant, who has been a ghost, is in the business of sergeants and merchants on the eve of the great development.

They have been following these military village routes and have been doing business in the Naturalized City, which has somewhat alleviated the difficulty of carrying out heavy operations.

On this day, Zhong Susu and his entourage finally arrived at Guihua City, and at this time, the garrison of the city was Li Guangheng, the general of Hulie, and the soldiers of the cavalry battalion of the Chinese army were stationed.

Compared with the past, the Naturalization City is also a lot more lively. From time to time, a caravan could be seen braving the wind and snow to come in. When camels and horses were in groups, they saw all kinds of accents noisy, and the cars on the ground were scarred, and the goods were gathered.

These also belong to the shrewd businessmen. The one who preempts the opportunity. Naturalization City is the future capital of the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate. Naturally, business opportunities are inevitable, and a trading station is set up here, and you can also go north from the naturalization city. Follow the Shirdengkou and other places, and do business to Mobei.

Moreover, the garrison in the city also inevitably needs such as grain, rice, and commercial goods, as the first-class army of the Jingbian Army, they are all rich and wealthy, and their purchasing power is very strong, these are all businesses, and shrewd businessmen will not let go.

When Zhong Susu and the others arrived, they saw such a scene full of vitality, which made her very satisfied.

As a semi-host, Li Guangheng greeted Zhong Susu and his party, Zhong Susu didn't ask for anything else, first took a hot bath, and then everyone sat by the brazier and had a big meal, and the tired group was relieved.

Then he didn't care about being tired, accompanied by Li Guangheng, Zhong Susu inspected the city, the shell of the naturalization city is not bad, the circumference is twenty miles, and it is expected that it will be as prosperous as Yongning City and Xuanfu Town in the future.

And this place will still belong to her jurisdiction in the future, so naturally it is seen everywhere, and I have seen it again and again.

At present, the city is even more empty, because all kinds of shanty houses, patches of nests, tents, etc., which originally belonged to the Mongols, have been demolished by the garrison, and these places will have to be replanned in the future to show the appearance of the metropolis.

Zhong Susu is most concerned about one thing: "Brother Li, where is the general's line?" ”

Li Guangheng took Zhong Susu to the Silver Buddha Temple, which changed back to the Chinese name of "Hongci Temple", and said with a smile: "At present, the Naturalization City is dilapidated, and even the palace of King Shunyi is very dilapidated, so the general Xingyuan was located in this Dazhao Temple at that time. ”

Zhong Susu's brows furrowed immediately, and she said seriously: "Brother Li, as a dignified marquis, how can the general live with those lamas?" The Metropolitan Protectorate Mansion must find another location. ”

Li Guangheng pondered: "Sister Yizhong...... Oh, Brother Zhong's opinion, what should I do? ”

Zhong Susu said: "I think the mansion that originally belonged to Gu Luge and others is good, although it is also dilapidated, but the shelves are there, and there are a lot of waste wood in the city, so it can be repaired again...... But it was not enough, so the timber of the dilapidated houses in the city was removed and replaced...... Some of the monasteries are gone, so what are you doing there? And the Mongols outside the city are idle, so let them come and work, and give them something to eat every day, so that they will not starve to death in winter. ”

She seriously emphasized: "Renovating the General's Mansion is the first priority for our garrison at present. Moreover, in the future, the mansion will also be where the yamen of the Metropolitan Government is located, so it should not be taken lightly. ”

Li Guangheng said: "Well, you are the chief soldier of Zhongzhen, you are in charge of these things." ”

……

On the second day, it was rare not to snow, with the guards, and a cadre of civil affairs officials, Zhong Susu went along the Dahei River to the west and downstream.

Along the way, you can see a lot of abandoned bansheng, the traces of the field canal are obvious, the Tumochuan Plain is east to the Manhan Mountain, the north is close to the Daqing Mountain, the south is close to the Yellow River and the Helinger loess hills, the whole plain is flat, the soil is fertile, the water source is abundant, and it has always been rich in wheat, sugar beet, flax and other crops and vegetables.

In the past dynasties, the Han army cultivated many here, and the Ministry of Albert also had many operations before, only in Yunnei and Fengzhou, ten thousand hectares of fields were cultivated, and there were hundreds of villages.

These places, of course, are excellent military camps, but in front of the barren grass everywhere, the cold wind howling, the Mongols' management of this place is too rough, but the digging strength is very strong.

Zhong Susu was thinking about how to operate in this place in the coming year, and the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs who accompanied him were also very excited.

One by one, they said: "The irrigation here is convenient, the land is fertile, and it is possible to grow spring wheat, wheat, and even rice." Some places that are not conducive to irrigation can also be planted with miscellaneous grains and beans and sorghum, and this place is a place given to me by God. ”

Because the land is so vast, they suggested that Zhong Susu adopt a rotational cultivation system, with wheat in one large area, beans in one area, and then sugar beet, rape, alfalfa and other things in some places, and finally in turn.

As officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, they widely studied agricultural books such as "Qi Min's Technique". Crop rotation method, field substitution method, idle farming method, etc., all of them are proficient in their hearts and know the truth of fallow and fertile fields.

Among the fertile crops, leguminous crops have the natural ability to fix nitrogen, which is actually better than chemical fertilizers. After all, artificial fertilizers are costly, pollute water and air, and long-term use can also damage the soil structure and make the soil knotted.

Of course, the ancients understood this. "Qi Min's Technique" said. In the method of Meitian, mung bean and adzuki bean bottom are the top, hemp, millet and hemp are second, and turnip and soybean are the bottom. Emphasizing the need for crop rotation. He also described the rotation order at that time.

Of course. The Central Plains has many people and little land, and no matter how much rotation cultivation is conducted, the damage to the fertility of the land is still great. So manure accumulation has always been very important.

Many places use the method of grain and bean intercropping, planting wheat in the ditch and planting beans on the ridge, which of course the small family is angry, but also because the land is less, so the method of intensive cultivation is used.

And as a result, some of the larger instruments will not be usable.

At this time, beans and alfalfa are not only the effect of fertilizing the field, but also horse food, which can be used as horse food to reduce the consumption of authentic grain.

Even sometimes when there is a famine, alfalfa can be used as food for people.

The land is vast, and it is mostly dry land, and horse farming can also be used, the Central Plains has used less horse farming in the past dynasties, in addition to the difficulty of obtaining horses, that is, the land of each family is less, and the expenditure of using horses is much greater than that of cattle farming, and the horse breed is also slightly worse at this time.

However, the Jingbian army has a large number of horses, but this problem does not exist, and with a large number of horses and large equipment such as coupling plows and carts, it may be possible to meet the general's requirement to obtain more grain as soon as possible in just a few years.

Looking at this land, Zhong Susu was also swaying, she said: "Yes, this is the granary of the Duhufu, open up the wasteland and make fields in the coming year, we not only have to build a lot of fields, but also strive to sow and harvest in the same year, so that the army is self-sufficient, and in the seventeenth year, here is the golden autumn wheat wave!" ”

……

On this day, Zhong Susu braved the wind and snow and came to the former site of Dongshengwei at the confluence of the Dahei River and the Yellow River.

There is a ruined city in front of you, but look at the ruined wall is nearly ten meters high, and the perimeter of the city is nearly sixteen miles long, you can see the majesty of the Dongsheng Acropolis in the past.

This city was set up in the first month of the fourth year of Hongwu, so the Yuan Privy Secret even Timur and others came from Dongshengzhou, and the edict was placed in the loss of Baochi and other thousands of households, and ordered Boyan Timur, answering the sea Mali Blan, Yeli Shaduo Lietu, Kuokuo and so on for thousands of households, and promoted the East Shengwei to command Cheng Siam as the commander of the guard.

And in the east of Dongshengwei there is Yunchuan Wei, there are Zhenyuwei in the southeast, Yulin Wei, etc., when Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, "the change of civil engineering", all the Dongsheng guards were abandoned, moved to the border, the abandoned Dongshengwei Zhudi was occupied by the West Tumert Department in the eleventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, and now it is in the hands of the Jingbian army.

Looking at the old site of the city shrouded in wind and snow, as well as the surging Yellow River in the distance, with ice in between, Zhong Susu and others were excited, the old city outside the plug will be restored one by one in their hands, and the prestige of the Han army will be re-distributed outside the plug.

A painting next to him said excitedly: "After the restoration of this city, our Jingbian army will directly control the middle section of the Yellow River and protect a large number of fertile fields and pastures. What is worrying is that there are many horse bandits in Shanxi Town, and there are Tatars in the set, and the Yellow River is basically frozen in the middle of winter, and the ice in Huangfu River and Gray Gou Village is directly in, and I am afraid that these bandits will trample on the ice and go straight in! ”

Zhong Susu was thinking about something, and when he heard this, he said sharply: "They dare!" If this is the case, Ben will lead the White Tiger Army to level their lair, kill their wives and scatter them, and their families will be ruined! ”

The four major generals of the Jingbian Army can sit in the current position, and none of them are compassionate people. Zhong Susu looks quiet and gentle, but in fact, she is just as ruthless, and she will not be polite if anyone dares to trample on her hard work.

The group finally came to the Junzijin Ferry, which can be described as a thousand-year-old ferry port, but the location is near the south of Lama Bay.

The Yellow River has arrived here, has completely entered the open area, the river is wide and the flow speed is quite slow, forming a suitable river beach for crossing the river, it is rumored that Tang Zhenguan has been in the river for three years, it is convenient for Junzijin to place the riverside county, the east is close to the river bank fifteen steps, and the river is only one mile wide.

Looking at the Yellow River in front of him, he praised the painting and said: "There is a saying in the "Water Jing Note" that Emperor Huan of the Han Dynasty went out to patrol the north and crossed the river to the north. "Book of Wei" contains: Winter 10 has February Guihai, west tour to the clouds, north hunting wild horses in the humiliation of the lonely mountain, as for the Yellow River, from the gentleman Jin west crossing. This ferry port is extremely important, to control Junzijin, our army can go to Hetao, Ningxia Town, down can go straight down the Yellow River, into Shanxi, into Shaanxi. Tens of thousands of strong troops are free as their hearts, from a high vantage point, and sit back and watch the wind and clouds move! ”

Together with the generals, Zhong Susu burst out laughing, and the wind and snow swept in, brushing her hair. (To be continued.) )
