Go to ancient times and engage in construction

Zheng Yuming and Wu Wangsheng stayed in Tangdi until the end of September before returning to Northeast County by boat with Chu Chaohui.Wu Guo used a total of 2 regular troops to fight against Tang. Except for Wei Qing's [-] troops who withdrew to the throat city, the troops led by Zhou Cheng and Ma Ren stayed in Tang.Zhou Cheng led [-] soldiers to station at the northern border of Tang, while Ma Ren led [-] soldiers to the various counties of Tang.

From the day Wu soldiers stepped into the barracks, military training and literacy tuition were carried out at the same time.Most of the original officials in the Tang Dynasty were wiped out, and there was a shortage of local officials. The higher-ranking officials were selected from the Wu King's court and the bachelors of two universities, and the lower-ranking officials and soldiers were temporarily selected from the Ma Ren army.

The non-commissioned officers Zan Dai officials had a good performance, and they were directly transferred from the army to work in the administrative system.Ma Ren not only stayed in Tang as the head of the military this time, he was also appointed by Zheng Yuming as the temporary sheriff of Tang.Tangdi is obviously too big as a county. Since Tangdi implements a unified poverty alleviation policy, Zheng Yuming has no plans to divide Tangdi into several counties for the time being.Of course, not dividing the land of Tang also has the factor of lack of administrative personnel.

Zheng Yuming, Wu Wangsheng and his party returned from Tangdi by boat, but this time they went back to Cannes, not to Ulsan.On the return trip, take a boat to Southeast County, and from there take a carriage to the coast of the East China Sea for inspection, and return to Cannes by boat after the inspection.

Wu Wangsheng and his wife took a boat from Nanbu to Tangdi by sea. They were very happy, but when they came back, they were not in a good mood.What Wu Wangsheng and his wife did most in Tangdi was to give porridge to refugees at charity relief sites. The tragic situation of refugees made people feel uncomfortable.Recalling the beautiful and rich Nanbu, it gave the couple a feeling that Nanbu is like heaven, while Tangdi is hell.

Not only Wu Wangsheng and his wife felt this way, but also the palace servants and female officials who served Wu Wangsheng and his wife felt the same way.They should be happy to go home after a long time in a foreign country, but people only feel depressed and uncomfortable on the return journey. It was not until the ship entered Northeast County that people's mood began to recover slowly.

In September this year, Wu State has not yet been hit by cold air, and the average day and night temperature remains around [-] degrees.

The road from Northeast County to the coast of the East China Sea has been built wide and large. The green trees on both sides of the road were planted last year. The trees have just survived for a year. The leaves on the trees are yellow and refuse to fall. , has been wrapped in straw by nearby villagers responsible for road maintenance.

The wide and flat road makes people sitting in the carriage feel comfortable, and the scenery of the farmland on both sides of the road makes people happy.Rice in Wu country is harvested around mid-September, and now it is the end of September, and the rice fields have been sold out.From the carriage, people can see that the farmland is dark and dark. Some of the farmlands are plowed by people, plowed by oxen, plowed by ropes on the back of oxen, and hoeed directly with hoes.People plowed the fields and sprinkled wheat seeds and rapeseed. Wu Guoda promoted the cultivation of rapeseed the year before last, and Wu people began to use rapeseed oil as the main cooking oil.

"Yu Ming, isn't it too much assistance to Zhao Guo?" Chu Chaohui turned over the list of Wu Guo's aid to Zhao Guo with a dark face. The materials on the list had been transported to the throat border by Wu Guo businessmen.

"It just takes more to work." Zheng Yuming was still writing official documents in the carriage. His four-wheeled carriage was specially made and had a folding desk.

The four-wheeled carriage has a relatively large space, and three people can sit side by side. When Zheng Chu and two tall adults sit side by side, there is no extra space. The seat is no longer spacious. In addition, Chu Chaohui deliberately squeezed it, and Zheng Yuming criticized it. Kuanwen is a bit awkward.

"That kid Zhao Xuan is greedy, be careful to feed his appetite." Chu Chaohui still had a dark face, although he was quite aware of Zheng Yuming's intention to win over Zhao Guo.

The two countries of Qi and Lu were afraid of the mighty Wu army, and the intelligence system sent back news that Qi and Lu had been confirmed to form an alliance, and the northern neighbor Yan State of Qi and Lu was also preparing to join the alliance.The area of ​​Yan State is very large, but this vassal is not considered a powerful country, because the population of Yan State is less than one million, which is not as large as that of Tang State.The latitude of Yandi is relatively high, the annual average temperature is low, and there are many grasslands in the territory. The people are mainly engaged in animal husbandry, and the good horses of Daqin come from Yandi.

If the three countries of Qi, Lu and Yan form an iron alliance to jointly defend Wu, the northern border of Wu will be under great pressure.The eastern part of the state of Wu faces the sea, and there is no border defense pressure on the eastern territory. In the south, south of the Su Plain, there are very backward primitive tribes. The primitive tribes are small in scale and have backward weapons.Only in the west of Wu State, the border defense is under great pressure.

Of the six great Qin kingdoms, there used to be Chu and Chen bordering on Wu. Four years ago, Zhao Xuan annexed most of the land in Wei, and Wu had another strong neighbor.

When Wu's strong army destroyed Tang in lightning and made the princes uneasy, Wu's most important thing was to maintain friendship with the three powerful neighbors in the west.

Fortunately, the Chu State is only connected by a long river, and the Ulsan Mountains separate the two countries on land. Wu State's navy, Niucha, is not afraid of the threat of the Chu State.

Mr. Chen Guoguo is quite conservative. This landlocked country is sadder than Wu Guo. The country is surrounded by powerful countries, and no one dares to offend. Mr. Chen Guoguo is very famous. Only the weaker the country can be in peace in the circle of strong dragons and tigers.

Because the king of Tang sent assassins to assassinate Zheng Yuming and Zhao Xuan. In July, the alliance between Wu and Zhao countries attacked Tang. Chen Guoxian expressed his support. The border between Wu and Chen is mostly hills, and there is no road connecting them. Only small roads can be walked. The businessman comes out.Passages were set up at the trails of the two countries, and each sent a small number of soldiers to garrison them. Rather than guarding the border, it would be better to call it a border tax station.So far, Wu Chen has a good relationship.

Chu and Chen, among the top three in the west, are unlikely to turn against Wu. Only Zhao is an ally in name, which poses a great threat to Wu.

Qi, Lu, and Yan in the north formed an iron triangle, and the iron triangle drew Zhao to deal with Wu. Even if Wu was stronger than the four kingdoms, even if Wu won after a battle, it would inevitably be scarred.

In order not to isolate the state of Wu, Zheng Yuming immediately sent friendly missions to the surrounding vassal states and Emperor Qin after learning of the Qilu covenant. Among them, the state of Zhao was the one that Zheng Yuming spared no effort to win over. In addition to presenting the original agreement with Zhao Xuan and Ulsan However, Zheng Yuming also unconditionally donated food and a large amount of cloth to Wanshi. The amount of assistance was so great that even Chu Chaohui felt distressed when he saw it.

"Zhao Xuan is just ambitious, not as insatiable as King Tang. We are a little more eager to monopolize Tang. If we don't take advantage of Zhao's domestic trauma and performance, it will be bad if Zhao and Qi Luyan are allied. Yan and Zhao The country is an in-law." Zheng Yuming put down his pen and explained to Chu Chaohui.

"Hmph! I feel that this kid Zhao Xuan has something in his heart, and he's trying to sow discord between us!" Ever since Chu Zhaohui knew what Zhao Xuanda said to Zheng Yuming before leaving, he became even more estranged from Zhao Xuan.

"Zhaohui, apart from the people around us, who knows that you and I don't know each other?" With tenderness in Zheng Yuming's eyes, he leaned closer and kissed Chu Zhaohui's lips, using practical actions to soothe this jealous jar.

Zheng Yuming's actions pleased Chu Chaohui, he hugged Zheng Yuming and deepened the kiss.

The four-wheeled carriage was running smoothly, and the driver didn't know that there was a beautiful scene in the carriage. The driver was attracted by the singing not far away. It was a antithesis song sung by young farmers and men in their leisure time. The lyrics of the antithesis were simple, bold and loud. Listening to the lyrics made his face feel hot, even if the autumn wind was cool, it couldn't lower the temperature on his face.

"Mountain to mountain, cliff to cliff!

Sister to brother, man to man!

Flowers need to be picked by bees, sister brother Lang Lang loves them!

The sky is the quilt, the earth is the bed, you and I, the heaven and the earth, come to have fun"

Zheng Yuming closed his eyes and leaned against Chu Chaohui's shoulder, and while singing with fiery words, the two of them were released in Chu Chaohui's palm at the same time.

Chu Chaohui's face was full of satisfaction, and he smiled lowly while cleaning up the mess: "Yu Ming, someday we will go to the wild to have sex!"

The flush on Zheng Yuming's face hadn't subsided yet. Hearing Chu Chaohui's suggestion, and then carefully listening to the love song coming from the car window, he couldn't help turning his head slightly, and opened the window curtain to look out.

"People here are simple and direct, hardworking and grateful." Zheng Yuming saw the people working hard in the fields. Even though the work was very hard, when they stopped to take a nap, their faces were satisfied and their eyes were full of longing.

Since the implementation of the policy of distributing land to households in the rural areas of Wu State, Zheng Yuming was surprised by the people's enthusiasm for the land. Apart from eating and sleeping, people put all their energy into the fields.At that time, there was no chemical fertilizer, and it was all relying on artificial fertilization to grow the fields. Although vinegar liquid could kill most pests, it was less effective than pesticides in later generations.However, under this kind of planting conditions, farmers in Wu country can harvest about [-] catties of rice in one season, which is an astonishing doubling of the yield per mu compared to the original harvest of [-] catties of millet in one season.Most parts of the Wu State had three consecutive years of bumper harvests, and granaries everywhere were already full of grain.

Zheng Yuming's generous assistance to Zhao Guo is all old grain three years ago. If these old grains are not disposed of, granaries in various places will have to start building granaries again.Because the government has too much grain in storage, Zheng Yuming originally considered lifting the wine-making ban in June this year, but now subsidizing Tang land and aiding the Zhao country will consume one-third of the grain in the granary, so the wine-making ban will not be considered. years of disappointment.

Looking at the people and things outside the car window, listening to the enthusiastic and unrestrained love songs of young men and women, Zheng Yuming did not go to write official documents, he and Chu Chaohui hugged each other all the way to the county town of the East China Sea.

The county guard of the East China Sea is called Han Shi, and he is the champion in the first selection examination.Han Shi came from a great family and advocated the rule of law. The coast of the East China Sea is the place where the rule of law in Wu State is strictly enforced.

Han Shi's economic development is not as capable as Huo Sihua's, but the coast of the East China Sea is mainly a salt field, and the inferiority of agriculture and commerce does not make the coast of the East China Sea depressed.The huge scale of the salt field, the amazing salt output, and the low ex-factory price have attracted countless merchants to come here for wholesale. The gathering of merchants has driven the development of industries such as transportation, labor, and services. The changes in the East China Sea in the past three years have also been amazing.

After Han Shi received the inspection notice from Wu Wangsheng and the two prime ministers, he took the local officials and the local garrison leader Guo Si to greet him outside the county early.

The Guo family and the director of industry and commerce, Chen Mengsuo, the Chen family, and the son Guang’s uncle’s family, the Wei family, are the three major families in Ulsan. These three families are determined to tie up with Zheng Yuming. Yiji made great contributions in both battles, and when Zheng Yuming rewarded her for her achievements, Guo Si was awarded a knighthood.

Chu Chaohui was tired of Guo Si's behavior of always chasing Zheng Yuming, after eliminating Yi Ji, Chu Chaohui sent Guo Si to the barracks outside Kangcheng City, so as to reduce the chance of Guo Si seeing Zheng Yuming.

Guo Si was exiled by Chu Chaohui in a disguised form, and he still didn't change his mind. Whenever he was on vacation, he would find an excuse to see Zheng Yuming at the Prime Minister's Office, which aroused Chu Chaohui's jealousy. Its name is to get promoted and get rich.

"I've met the king and madam!" Guo Si was familiar with Wu Wangsheng and his wife, and it was Guo Si who escorted Xihou all the way from Ulsan to the capital.

Before "General Guo" Wu Wangsheng had time to speak to Guo Si, Guo Si rushed to Zheng Yuming after paying his respects.

"Guo Si finally met the young master." Guo Si stared at his beloved Jiao Zhe with red eyes, Guo Si had not seen Zheng Yuming for three years, it was a thousand days and nights.

"Um, General Guo has worked hard in guarding Yan County." Zheng Yuming felt uncomfortable and guilty when Guo Si's fiery and wronged eyes stared at him.

"Unexpectedly, after three years of being stationed abroad, General Guo no longer has an officer in his eyes!" Chu Zhaohui snorted heavily, and he was the officer directly under Guo Si.

Guo Si turned her head to see Chu Chaohui, her eyes were red, this time it was not the jealousy of a grievance, but the jealousy of a rival in love.

"The last general will see the general!" Guo Si reluctantly bowed to Chu Chaohui as the so-called high-ranking officials crushed people to death.

"As a soldier, you have to obey orders. Is General Guo dissatisfied with the station?" Chu Zhaohui's words implied threats.

Guo Si looked at Zheng Yuming, not daring to say what he missed in front of Chu Chaohui, and seeing that Wu Wangsheng and his wife Han Shi were accompanying Wu Wangsheng, Guo Si suddenly replied bitterly: "Why did the general send Guo to an ugly place?" If you are around people, you will end up suffering from misery every day."

Guo Si's answer stunned Chu Chaohui.

Han Shi has small eyes, thick lips, dark skin and a fat body.For Guo Si, who has always loved beauty, getting along with the ugly Han Shi is simply a torment.

"General Guo, you can't judge a person by appearance, a man should put his talent and learning first!" Zheng Yuming recalled the scene when he first met Guo Si, and he was very happy.At that time, Guo Si was on duty at the gate of the city. People who entered the city were good-looking, and they were allowed to enter the city without paying the entrance fee. Those who swung the whip to drive away those who were not allowed to enter the city.

"Young master, Guo Si is just talking." Being reprimanded by Zheng Yuming, Guo Si is not embarrassed to repent, and it is also a pleasure to receive the beauty training.

Han Shi next to him heard Guo Si's dislike of him clearly, Han Shi snorted coldly in his heart, he decided to sign Guo Si's name first on the Wang Ting Inquiry Jia cooperation official form, so that Guo Si could never leave the coast of the East China Sea. Since I was transferred, I must think of Guo Si as well.

Guo Si offended Han Shi so much that Han Shi wanted to burn his eyes and never knew it for the rest of his life.During Zheng Yuming's stay on the coast of the East China Sea, Guo Si was happy. Because he was responsible for the safety of Wu Wangsheng and the Prime Minister, he kept close by Zheng Yuming's side to protect him. What surprised Guo Si was that Chu Chaohui didn't make things difficult for him to leave. Instead, he smiled and looked at him with pity.Han Shi has implicitly expressed to Chu Chaohui his willingness to cooperate with Guo Si for a long time.

Guo Si's happy time lasted for two days, Zheng Yuming finished his official duties on the shore of the East China Sea, and the brigade returned to Gaomadi Ferry by boat from the inland river.

It only takes one day and one night to take a boat from the coast of the East China Sea to the Gaomadi Ferry outside Kangcheng.

Ships travel on inland rivers, the wind and waves are much smaller than those on the sea, and the ships are more stable than those in the sea.Queen Tian didn't get seasick at sea, but she vomited in a smooth inland river.

After doctor Jiang Gui checked the pulse of Queen Tian, ​​he announced the good news that the whole country of Wu was jubilant. Queen Tian was pregnant for one and a half months, and the king of Wu would have an heir.
