Lord of the House
Vol 8 Chapter 4: There is no shortage of smart people
"Xiaoman is also making a fuss when he drinks. He's seventeen, and he's still a child. Let's choose an auspicious time a year ago to welcome him in the door... What do you think?"
The window panes were newly pasted with paper, and the light transmittance was far inferior to the glass of later generations. It was about to dawn outside. Looking at the window paper, it looked like a light blue thin jade. Gu Junxun was leaning on Lin Bie's chest and talking about things.
Lin bound hands on Jun Xun's smooth and delicate back, and he tossed with love/love for a long time. Until now, he has not fallen asleep or sleepy. She looks like a housewife, planning to take a concubine for him, it's really hard for her.
Lin Fu didn't mention Xiaoman's life experience to Jun Xun. When Xiaoman entered the door, he always had to hear from Su Mei. Thinking of this, the glamorous and unprovoked face appeared in Lin Fu's mind. Although he kept writing letters, he never saw each other, and he always missed it very much.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Junxun asked softly when he saw Lin Fu lost his mind.
"I want to repair and defend the seawall," Lin Fu said. He was not stupid enough to confess that he was thinking of another woman. He patted Jun Xun's sturdy little buttocks and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep!"
"It's not too late," Gu Junxun said charmingly, looking at the morning light leaking from the window pane, "Which can be like you, lying in bed during the day, don't die for other people's jokes!"
"You have to be strong, just get up, and by the way, help me to go down, there is no urgent matter to wake me up, and military law will deal with it!" Lin Fu said with a smile.
Gu Junxun felt that her body was tossing and falling to pieces, as if every hair was soft and tender, she still managed to sit up. The disclosure of the bedclothes would only make her even more embarrassed. Seeing Lin Fu turned to sleep, biting his red lips, he pinched his back coquettishly: "I told you to torment others so many times! "
Lin Bie laughed and fell asleep, and woke Xiaoman up before noon. Song Jia Xiaoman brought a copy of Tang newspapers from various places that the Secretary of General Affairs and Communications had transcribed over.
Cao Yi Canal is going to build the Jingyuan Canal in Guanzhong!
Tang Copy has an excerpt from Cao Yi Canal which was presented to Beijing. The Caoyi Canal is planned to start from the mouth of Chiyang Valley in the west, lead out the Jinghe River to the southeast, pass through Chiyang and Liyang to the east to Xiabangzhe and then flow into the Weihe River in the south, with a total length of about 200 li.
Lin Bie woke Xiaoman up in his sleep. He was supposed to "do military law" on her, but the last trace of drowsiness was driven by Cao Yiqu's Jingyuan Canal.
Lin Fuju got up from the bed, only to see Song Jia waiting outside the courtyard.
In Huai'an, Song Jia went in and out of Lin Fu's room very casually, and there was no defense between men and women; but after returning to Chongzhou, she first became cautious.
"Cao Yiqu is a sensible person!" Lin Fu sighed slightly and handed the tang copy back to Song Jia.
"Cao Yiqu's construction of the Jingyuan Canal in Guanzhong is similar to your construction of the seawall in Huaidong," Song Jia said. "Compared to this, the She family is still more eager, but I don't know what the Liang family will do?"
"Who cares about the Liang family, if you can get into this, you shouldn't be an idiot..." Lin Fu asked Xiaoman to help bring a map of West Qin County.
Western Qin, Qin land, and the old county of Guanzhong.
During the Qin Dynasty, the Zhengguo Canal was built in Guanzhong, and the Jing water was diverted into the Luo River. Along the way, three or four million acres of fertile fields were irrigated, making Guanzhong the granary of the world and the prosperity of the world. This is also the economic basis for Qin to rule Guanzhong and rule the world, and the two Han Dynasties after Qin and Han Dynasty established Guanzhong.
However, there is a lot of sediment in the Jing water, so the Zhengguo Canal needs to be dredged every 20 to 30 years in order to maintain its normal irrigation function.
Wuhu Chaohua and Yan and Chen dynasties, Guanzhong has been in chaos for a long time, and there is no peace for more than a hundred years. By the time of the previous dynasty, Zheng Guoqu was almost completely abandoned, and Guanzhong naturally had no basis for establishing a capital. The previous dynasty established the capital in Luoyang, and began to transport grain and grass northward from the Jianghuai on a large scale.
At the end of the Warring States Period, Qiang Qin gathered the power of a country, and it took more than ten years to build the Zhengguo Canal. When the Zhengguo Canal was completely abandoned, and the previous and the current dynasties, the founders of the country were not located in the Guanzhong area, so there was no intention to spend any more effort to repair the Zhengguo Canal.
Therefore, the Guanzhong area declined from the capital of the king to a bitter land in the northwest frontier. It was disturbed by drought all the year round, and the people were often starved to the county, and the people were dying.
At this time, the Cao family did not have the ability to rebuild the Zhengguo Canal in Guanzhong. The route he chose for the Jingyuan Canal was much easier on the terrain. Although the Jingyuan Canal is only one-third shorter than the Zhengguo Canal, about 200 miles in length, the manpower and materials invested are far less than those of the Zhengguo Canal.
Of course, after the Jingyuan Canal is built, the area of fields that can be irrigated will be quite different from that of the Zhengguo Canal.
Xiaoman brought the map of West Qin County, Lin Fu was on the stone platform in the yard, spread out the map, and used charcoal to outline the construction route of Jingyuan Canal.
Chiyang, Liyang, Xiabang and other places through which the Jingyuan Canal will pass are the core areas of Guanzhong on the north bank of the Wei River.
The irrigation effect of the Jingyuan Canal is far less than that of the Zhengguo Canal, but the completion of the Jingyuan Canal will greatly promote the Cao family's control over the north bank of the Wei River.
In addition, the dry land in the northwest can be called fertile land if the yield per mu exceeds the stone. Once the Jingyuan Canal is completed, 1.8 million mu of dry land will be transformed into high-yield paddy fields, which will be of great significance to strengthening the foundation of the Cao family in the Guanzhong area.
The Cao family did not rush to send troops to Tongguan and went to Henan to seize the site. Instead, they built water conservancy in Guanzhong patiently. The strategic decision-making was the same as that of Chongzhou, which made Lin Fu deeply jealous.
Different from repairing the seawall in Chongzhou, the Cao family repaired the Jingyuan Canal in Guanzhong, but they did not plan to pay for their own food.
Cao Ziqu said in the book that he wanted to cut off the Western Qin grain to benefit Guanzhong civilians. This was in the name of repairing the Jingyuan Canal, and by the way, all the taxes of the Western Qin were withheld.
*************
At noon, Lin Fu hurriedly had a meal in the mountains, so he took the tang copy from Cao's family's repairing the Jingyuan Canal, and came to Dongya, rushing Wang Cheng to obey Hecheng and rushing back to meet him, and Lin Fu delivered the tang copy to him. In front of Wang Chengfu, he said, "Do you know who is behind the scenes for Cao Yiqu?"
Lin Fu has more than a thousand years of experience in the world, and only has the idea of "building a city high and accumulating grain widely". Cao Yiqu was born in a general. Looking at his previous actions in Guyuan, he should not have such a profound insight into political affairs. It should be another matter. There are experts behind the scenes.
Wang Chengfu took the tangchao and said, "Perhaps the Ren brothers have used it for the Cao family..."
"Four heroes of the Ren family." Lin Fu smacked his lips lightly. The four heroes of the Ren family referred to the four sons of Ren Yan, the former censor of the left capital. Ren Min was originally a core figure of the Western Qin Party. He died of illness in Chongzhou four years later. All four of his sons were jinshi, and they were all famous.
After the West Qin Party lost power in recent years, Ren Bojing, Ren Shuda, and Ren Jiwei all resigned from office and returned to their hometowns, except for the second child, Ren Zhongjian, who served as the minister of propaganda and envoy of West Qin County.
"Oh, I forgot about this..." Lin Fu patted his forehead. When Ren Min was alive, he advocated repairing the Zhengguo Canal, or building a new canal along the route of the Zhengguo Canal to benefit the people's livelihood in Guanzhong. Cao Yiqu was able to come up with a complete plan for repairing the canal so quickly, it is likely that Ren's family should offer advice behind the scenes.
The Ren brothers recruited the Cao family. This news is not necessarily more acceptable than Cao Yiqu's need to repair the Jingyuan canal.
Although the imperial court is very weak, in the eyes of scholars, it is still the righteousness of the world. Inside and outside the temple, the Chu Party, the Wu Party, and the Western Qin Party were divided into groups.
Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others were the leaders of the Chu Party, but if they had to erect a pole to stand on their own, the hozens would disperse under the tree.
Although the Cao family has a deep foundation in the Western Qin Dynasty, for a long time, in addition to the Luo Kui scholars, how many famous scholars are willing to be Cao Yiqu's retainers?
Lin Bie was a powerful person in Huaidong, and he also had meritorious deeds. He was regarded by Liu Tingzhou as a person of different aspirations, and it was difficult for him to get along with each other. The reasoning here is the same.
Ren Jiashu entered the dynasty as an official, and the four outstanding members of the Ren clan were all jinshi. The characters in the Ren's Four Heroes are attached to Cao Yiqu, and the significance is no trivial matter.
"Perhaps in the eyes of the Ren brothers, this world is about to change hands..." Qin Chengzu sighed slightly.
"The two-hundred-mile source canal will always have to be repaired for a year or two, and the effect will not be seen until the third year," Lin Mengde said. "The mentality of Cao Yiqu and the Ren brothers is also very stable."
"The She family and the Donglu have hollowed out the foundation of the imperial court, and the refugee army is still in a state of chaos, causing chaos in the hinterland of the Central Plains. Rise," Qin Chengzu said, "the Cao family has set another bad example, using the name of repairing the Jingyuan Canal to withhold taxes in Guanzhong, I am afraid that East Sichuan, Jinghu, Shandong and other places will follow suit..."
"The Jinzhong army was completely lost in Yannan the year before last, and when Chen Zhihu passed through Jinzhong, he killed too much, and there was a large-scale drought that lasted for many years, so that Jinzhong did not have such a strong rise, and now it has become a harm! "Lin Bie sighed slightly and said with emotion.
Although the local warlords are not good goods, but if a powerful person rises in Jinzhong, they can concentrate local resources and block the invasion of the Eastern invaders from Jinzhong.
Li Zhuo went out of the Jibei Army, and Jibei Town was close to the Jinhai Food Road, and received strong support. This line of defense has the potential to be consolidated. However, the western section of the Yanbei Defense Line with Datong Town as the core has been weakened particularly severely after more than half a year of war.
Even though Chen Zhihu barely defended Datong, the surrounding cities such as Yingxian, Shuozhou, and Hunyuan were all destroyed. Behind Datong, at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and Pingcheng, which entered the north of Hebei, was once lost, and the Datong defense line was in jeopardy.
Datong is located in the north of Yanjing, with Yinshan in the north and Hengshan in the south. It locks the inner and outer walls, and is the key point between Shanxi and Hebei. It is the gateway to the northwest of Yanjing, and its strategic position is particularly important. As the western section of the Yanbei Line of Defense, the Datong Line of Defense is divided into three directions to set up the fifteen townships, with a total of more than 400 fortresses and more than 70,000 troops stationed there.
Li Zhuo led his troops out of Pingcheng to support the Datong flank, forcing the Donglu to retreat, but the Datong defense line had already been beaten to pieces~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There are more than 400 fortresses, but only 12 out of 10 remain. The horse was also damaged by more than half.
This is also the harm of the Central Plains regime's war with the northern forces.
The north is mostly bitter and cold, and the south is rich and prosperous.
The northern military horses fought from north to south, and they could rely on looting in the theater to support the war, and the more they fought, the stronger they became. The southern military horses moved from south to north, unable to raise enough food and forage from the war zone, and had to make great efforts to transport them from the rear, and the more they fought, the poorer they became.
When the Central Plains regime was strong, there was no shortage of manpower and material resources to support large-scale wars, so it could suppress the rise of northern forces.
At the end of the world, the foundation of the Dayue Dynasty was almost hollowed out, and the Datong defense line was crippled. If you want to rebuild in a short period of time, there is no such financial resources.
Although Chen Zhihu had merit in defending Datong, he was still severely reprimanded because the Jinzhong and Datong defenses pushed too hard. The voice of the Beijing Central Committee demanding the dismissal of Chen Zhihu is getting more and more lively every day. Emperor Chongguan was not confused at this time. He even issued a decree to reprimand Chen Zhihu, but he resisted the pressure and did not remove Chen Zhihu from Datong.
Under this situation, Chen Zhihu's ability to defend Datong is already a great achievement. He hastily adjusted the Ji Bei army out of the bottle city and fought with the main force of the Donglu, which is likely to lead to a more difficult ending.
Although the Donglu retreated from Datong, it was autumn and winter again, and the Donglu would come back at any time.
This winter, a blood-colored blade is still hanging over the north.
When the Datong defense line collapsed and the northwest gate of Yanjing was half open, how many choices did Li Zhuo have?
In Li Zhuo's five-year strategy of pacifying the enemy, the first step was to stabilize the peripheral defense line. After the first year passed, the western section of the peripheral defense line was crippled. Even if Zhang Xie and the others had no faction attachment to Li Zhuo, they would still exert pressure to ask Li Zhuo to send troops from western Liaoning to contain the main force of the eastern captives on the eastern front and relieve the pressure on the western defense line.
