On the last day of July, Shao Xun held a military meeting in Green Willow Garden, and all the generals arrived.

There are dozens of people sitting in the courtyard, arranged according to their relative and distance, and according to their status.

The left half is a civil official, and the right half is a military attache - civil and military is a distinction between positions, not people. At this time, a person can be either a civil official or a military attache, and the distinction is not obvious.

Chen Yougen, the commander of the long sword, sits at the lower right of Shao Xun.

No matter what he was like in the past, he is now the minister, implicitly the number one general under the Shaw family, and has a very high status.

The eldest brother Chen Jingen is sitting in the back. He is Chen Yougen's general, commanding dozens of Chen family servants and acting as personal soldiers when going into battle.

Chen Yingen and Chen Tonggen did not have the chance to attend. The former was a bandit in Yiyang, and the latter was a member of the public house. She was of no rank, but had fifty acres of land, and was a minor official doing chores.

Chang Can, deputy governor of the Changjian Army, also sat behind Chen Yougen.

Chen Yougen's subordinate is Li Chong, deputy governor of the Yamen Army.

From the perspective of military ability, he is the number one general of the Shaw Group. Moreover, he is humble, keeps reading, and is diligent in learning. He has considerable prestige among the Yamen Army. He has led troops into many battles and led the way.

Chen Yougen's ability is really hard to compare with.

The seating arrangement is quite mysterious.

Li Zhong moved his head, and it was his servant Liu Anzhi.

Further down from Liu Anzhi are the two deputy governors of the Silver Spear Army, Wang Queer and Jin San. Behind them are Lu Heigou, Hou Feihu, Xu Yu, Sun He, Zhang Daniu, Jiang Ke and other building owners, basically all of them. They are from the first three phases of Donghai, Luoyang and Taiyuan.

As for the many students from Liang Guo, Chang'an, Handan and the seventh phase of Yecheng who were recruited last year at the beginning of the fourth period, there are currently no people who are qualified to sit here.

The Silver Spear Army was the well-deserved main force of the Shao military and political group. They were numerous and skilled. They sat there in silence, listening to Master Shao's lectures in silence.

Among the people in the Silver Spear Army, there was Yi Yi Duman Yu, and the five auxiliary generals Wang Chan, Hao Chang, Lou Quan, Lou Bao, and Chen Qi, each with their entourage, sitting in a large area in darkness.

From the literary direction on the left, the one closest to Shao Xun is Cao Fu, followed by Pei Kang.

These two people have high status, but in fact they are not very involved in daily government management. Only when things are uncertain, they will be asked to come forward to smoothen the relationship and exert influence.

The real head of the civil service was Lu Zhi, the governor of Xiangcheng.

Many of Shao Xun's united front actions in Hebei were prompted by Lu Zhi's letters.

Moreover, compared to Wang Yan, Director Wang and other members of the Wang family, Lu Zhi has a strong ability to handle general affairs, which they lack - Wang Yan, Director Wang's skills are mainly focused on "maintaining the meeting" In this direction, the actual governance ability is not enough. This may be related to the fact that the aristocratic family does not like to handle general affairs.

Under Lu Zhi, there were Cui Gong, the prime minister, Pei Ku, the great farmer, Chu Hui, the shepherd chief, Wu Qian, the academic officer, Ling Yuliang, Liang Lingyangman, Dianshu Lingyangming, Dianshu Cheng Maobang, the four governors, Yang Zhai Ling, Zhou Mo, Zhongdian Mu Lekuan and others.

Some of the Shaw family members also came.

The owner of Yushanwu, his uncle Liu Shan, his third brother Shao Fan, his eldest nephew Shao Shen, and more than ten uncles, cousins, and cousins ​​all came here.

Liu Shan was in his early forties. He had inherited the position of Grandpa Shao Xun and had been the leader of Xuzhou Shibing. He was somewhat arrogant in the countryside.

Today is the first time he has attended such a high-level meeting. Looking at the children of the aristocratic families around him, he feels a little inferior. Looking at the murderous military attachés opposite, who are not good people at first glance, he feels a natural suppression——

That's what the high-ranking officers in the army do.

"The Duke of Luyang County has arrived." The guard ordered Tang Jian to come over first and sang loudly.

Shao Xun walked over wearing military uniform and walking like a dragon and a tiger.

"See Ming Gong." Liu Shan stood up with everyone and saluted in unison.

This nephew is incredible.

How did you build such a big business in seven years?

Civil servants and military officers were all respectful and respectful.

A single order could turn a state upside down.

I used to think that when my sister married into the Shao family, she was marrying down, but now it seems that their family is a high-ranking one.

A few years ago, my wife proposed to marry their daughter to Shao Xun. At that time, my sister was very happy and said that it would be a great thing for cousins ​​to get closer. Unfortunately, she rejected it privately.

It's impossible now.

Princess Chengdu and Princess Fan Yang lived in Green Willow Garden one after another. The legitimate daughter of the aristocratic family was gentle, well-educated, and extremely noble. She directly outshone the other girls in the family.

pity.

"Sit." Shao Xun sat on the bed with his hands flat.

Everyone took their seats one after another.

"The expedition is about to begin. Let's make a long story short." Shao Xun stretched out a finger and said, "The first thing."

"After I went on the expedition, Cao Gong took over the post of staying behind. All military and political affairs were handled by Cao Gong."

"In terms of general affairs, Cui Gong and Lu Gong are deputy assistants. Major matters will be discussed. If it is really difficult to resolve, a messenger will be sent to the army."

"No." Cao Fu stood up first, with a good posture.

"Just sit down and talk." Shao Xun stood up, took two steps, and helped Cao Fu sit down.

Cui Gong and Lu Zhi also stood up to accept the promise.

Shao Xun ordered them to sit down one by one.

Cui Gong was okay, Lu Zhi might not be convinced in his heart. But facing a veteran roly-poly like Cao Fu, he still showed respect.

Pei Kang felt a little numb.

There was nothing wrong with co-writing without him, and I felt a little unhappy.

"In terms of military affairs, Huang Biao, Wu Qian, and Liu Anzhi assisted Duke Cao. The Yamen Army, Fu soldiers, Silver Spear Army, Yi Cong Army, etc. that stayed behind needed to be signed by four people for their deployment, deployment, and battle.

To be effective, both are indispensable." Shao Xun said again.

"No." Huang, Wu and Liu responded in unison.

"The second thing." Shao Xun continued: "The matter of the Luoyang Three Gardens and the Tuntian Army's withdrawal to the south should be handled as soon as possible."

Having said this, he looked at Shao Shen and Shao Fan.

The two stood up immediately and heard Shao Shen say: "Uncle——"

"Huh?" Shao Xun glared at him.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu. The first group of people has passed Yique Pass with 40,000 dendrobium wheat and will arrive at Guangchengze in a few days. The second group of people has almost set off. The three gardens in Luoyang will be evacuated by late August at the latest.

." Shao Shen replied loudly.

"Maybe it won't be until early September." Shao Fan added: "There are too many things, and the campers are also a little commotion. It's best to send an army to escort them."

Shao Xun immediately looked at Huang Biao and ordered: "Deploy a group of Yamen soldiers to assist in the evacuation."

"No." Huang Biao agreed.

Luoyang Sanyuan currently has more than 4,200 households, more than 20,000 people, 1,250 hectares of land cultivated, and more than 1,100 livestock. Luoyang is about to become a battlefield, and they will definitely withdraw.

"The third thing is, Yiyang Sanwu, withdraw some people." Shao Xun looked at Mao Bang and said: "Mao Er, you have been in charge of Sanwu for many years, you can take care of this matter."

"No." Mao Er agreed.

Located in Sanwu, Yunzhong, Kinmen and Tanshan, Yiyang County, there are currently more than 5,200 households and more than 23,100 people in the fort, more than 1,150 hectares of farmland have been reclaimed, and there are more than 2,000 large and small livestock.

Shao Xun had talked with Mao Bang before.

During the severe drought, Wubao's wells dried up due to terrain problems, and it was difficult to find water in the mountains. Not to mention farming, it was difficult for people and animals to drink water. They had to walk a long way to fetch water from the Luoshui River, which had stopped flowing.

Hard.

They had already begun to evacuate in July. A large group of people, carrying the elderly and the young, walked through the rugged mountain roads to Guangchengze - much closer to them than Luoyang Sanyuan.

What I'm considering now is whether to evacuate all the remaining people.

The final result of the discussion was that 1,500 burgers were left in each dock, half of the grain was left, and the rest of the people, livestock, and grain were all transported away.

"The fourth thing." Shao Xun said: "Before September 15th, no matter whether it rains or not, winter wheat must be sown. Shitian, Lutian, North and South Guanzhuang, and Duotian are all sown. Seven counties in Xiangcheng

, Yangzhai, Yangcheng, Liang, Luyang counties, Yushanwu, and Luliuyuan will handle it together. We will plant as much as we can. In short, we will make every effort to cultivate the land."

The so-called "North and South Manors" are actually two newly built manors in Guangcheng Ze, commonly known as "South Garden" and "Bei Garden".

There were originally more than 1,350 hectares of fields in Beiyuan. They were cleared last winter and completed in the first half of this year. However, a severe drought hit the area before sowing could be done, so we had to clean it again.

According to the introduction by Princess Lu of Fan Yang, the land combined with the fields of Guojiu Bieyuan now covers nearly 1,500 hectares, which will be cultivated by more than 7,000 people from the second and third battalions of the Jizhou Tuntian Army.

The Jing brothers recruited 200 strong refugees to take charge of management.

But it was not enough, so the Lu family transferred more than a hundred military strategists and generals from the family to manage it together.

The South Garden was cleared and leveled this year. After burning the wasteland, we repeatedly dug out tree roots, picked out stones, and tidied it up again and again.

The total area is 1,500 hectares, and it is planned to be cultivated by the villagers who have withdrawn from Luoyang Sanyuan.

Duotian is Yang Xianrong's private property and has grown to more than 100 hectares. After harvesting a season of rice last year, wheat was planted in the autumn.

After this summer's harvest, we can no longer grow rice, so we can only rest the soil and continue planting wheat in mid-September.

Overall, there are still too few fields.

A single water conservancy project in Ji County (Liling Weir, Chexi Canal) in this dynasty irrigated more than one million acres. However, the area of ​​Guangchengze is several times that of that, and the water volume is dozens of times that of that. The level of development is still too low.

It still needs time to settle.
