Halfway through February, the temperature in the Western Qin Dynasty had already risen. Green grass and wild flowers appeared in the Eastern Oasis overnight. Zhang Xiaowu also began to resettle the Mi Tuo tribe. He planned to move 100,000 Mi Tuo people and 50,000 Mi Tuo people from all over the Western Regions.
People were scattered at the foot of the mountains to the north of Xiyehe Mountain, and they introduced high-yielding grain from the Amitabha Kingdom to build the north of Xiyehe Mountain into a grain-producing area of the Western Qin Dynasty.
It just so happened that Eva's uncle D'Alessandro was an expert in growing food and was known as the God of Food in the Amitabha Kingdom. He was invited to the Auspicious Palace to explain the types of food to everyone, and also introduced a type of food in the Central Plains.
The grain was highly praised. When D'Alessandro brought out the grain from the Central Plains, Zhang Xiaowu burst into laughter. This was actually corn.
But D'Alessandro said that the origin of this grain is raw corn, and the best grain seeds are in his hands. The corn grown by others can only yield 200 kilograms per mu, but his grain seeds can produce a yield of 200 kilograms per mu.
Eight hundred pounds.
Zhang Xiaowu blushed when he heard what he said. He had planted corn experimental fields in Longdu, but the yield per mu was only three to four hundred kilograms. It seemed that experts had to do specialized work, and laymen really couldn't do the work of other people's grain gods.
"D'Alessandro, I plan to appoint you as the chief of agriculture and animal husbandry of the Western Qin Dynasty." Zhang Xiaowu said, "You are a noble of the Amitabha Kingdom. I believe you are qualified for this role."
D'Alessandro said excitedly: "Dear Commander, don't worry, by the end of the year, you will see that the granaries are full of grain."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "Zhao Suo, give it to others, give him money, give him work."
"Okay." Zhao Suo shouted, "Come on, Lao Dazi, I will take you to work."
Seeing the two people leaving the meeting hall arm in arm, Zhang Xiaowu couldn't help but laugh. This Zhao Suo could really make everyone friends.
Wang Xiaojian and Nie Feng stepped forward with the map and said: "General, regarding the issue of building post stations, our original plan was to build twenty post stations, but now the area of Western Qin is too large, and twenty post stations may not be enough.
"
"How many do you think it should be increased to?"
"Eighty."
"What? Eighty?" Cao Wei jumped out from the side and shouted: "Eighty post stations, each post station has 200 troops, eighty means 16,000 people, how many people does Western Qin have now?
How many regular troops does Western Qin have? No, no, no, no more, twenty-five stations at most!"
Nie Feng said: "We can divide it into a large post and a small post. The big post has the function of setting up troops and receiving reception. The small post only has the function of patrolling, warning and assisting in arrests. This way we can streamline the manpower."
"That won't work. Supplies will bring down the entire Western Qin." Cao Wei shouted, "If the post is not urgently supplied, will they rob the people and herdsmen of food? It should be noted that the Western Qin is not a rogue bandit now, and they rob wherever they go.
, the people of Western Qin all come here for the great commander."
Lang Er said on the side: "Western Qin does need eighty post stations, but Western Qin has just been established and is still very weak. It really cannot afford to support so many post stations."
Everyone was arguing fiercely, and Eva ran into the meeting hall excitedly, dragging Zhang Xiaowu and ran to the harem. Zhang Xiaowu hurriedly asked what was wrong, and Eva said: "Alina is here, Alina is pregnant."
"What?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone in the meeting hall was excited. The Western Qin Dynasty had an heir!
Everyone immediately came forward to congratulate them, and Zhang Xiaowu scratched his head in confusion, thinking to himself: Alina is pregnant, am I having a baby? Am I fertile?
Zhang Xiaowu returned to the harem surrounded by his men. Alina was holding her belly proudly, and the blond female medical officer was telling her to pay attention to things in raw language, but Alina was eating dried fruits nonchalantly. Seeing Zhang Xiaowu come back,
She jumped up excitedly and hugged him, her eyes narrowed with joy: "We have a child, we have a child, I want to have ten."
"In the future, there won't be one named Ip Man among your descendants, right?" Zhang Xiaowu made a joke that no one could understand. He turned to look at the female medical officer and asked: "Really?"
The female medical officer affirmed: "According to my medical judgment, the mistress is probably one and a half months pregnant."
"Can you tell after a month and a half?"
"Yes, I swear on my medical skills."
"I'm not doubting your medical skills, but what are the characteristics of one and a half months?"
"Yes." The female medical officer said, "There are three methods. I have tried them all, and the results have proved that the mistress is pregnant."
Zhang Xiaowu smiled and said: "Then do you know whether it is a boy or a girl?"
The female medical officer shook her head and said, "We won't know until eight months later."
Alina pouted and said: "Huh! Isabelle won't lie. Don't disbelieve her. She is the person I trust most."
Zhang Xiaowu said: "I didn't doubt her, but I could tell after a month and a half that her medical skills are really good." He comforted Alina again and told her to have a good rest and stop jumping around or dropping the child.
After hearing this, Alina was so frightened that she lay on the bed and said, "Can you stay with me for a while? I'm afraid that you will leave me after having a child."
"You clingy little goblin, just sleep peacefully." Zhang Xiaowu said, and then asked: "Is she too young? Is there a big risk in giving birth to a child?"
The female medical officer Isabel said: "As long as I am by her side, she will be fine. Unless you beat her up, she will be in danger." Almost all men in foreign countries engage in domestic violence. Although she has never met Zhang
Xiaowu beats his wife, but he still has to remind him not to beat a pregnant woman - you can wait until she gives birth to the baby before beating her.
Zhang Xiaowu couldn't laugh or cry, who would beat his wife for nothing? Looking at Alina, she actually fell asleep with tears streaming down her face. He couldn't help laughing and said softly: "Female medical officer, please come with me. I have something to ask you." He said.
The female doctor took him to his secret room, and then asked her to diagnose his pulse.
"Do you have any illness?" Isabelle asked doubtfully.
Zhang Xiaowu was a little embarrassed: "When I was in the Central Plains, I had many women, but none of them gave me children. Later I met the Central Plains miracle doctor who treated the emperor. He said that I had killed too many people and that I had been punished by God.
It is impossible to have an heir. But Alina suddenly became pregnant, which made me a little panicked, and I even worried that the child was not mine."
Isabella pursed her lips and said: "Please rest assured, Commander, Alina will only carry your child. Don't you know that her eyes are shining when she looks at you? Do you doubt your own charm? As a child,
As a female medical officer who came to Western Qin from Shengfan, I can tell you very responsibly that if Alina does anything inappropriate, I will poison her to death on behalf of Shengfan. For the sake of peace between Shengfan and Western Qin,
The country of Shengfan can sacrifice any princess, but I have the power to execute the princess."
Zhang Xiaowu felt a little uncomfortable: "Did King Shengfan allow you?"
There was determination in Isabel's eyes: "Yes, even if the commander-in-chief is angry, I will strictly implement the king's order to ensure that she protects you wholeheartedly and ensures that the interests of Shengfan are not damaged."
Zhang Xiaowu stared at her emerald eyes, and Isabelle stared at his sharp eyes without any sign of weakness. The two just looked at each other without giving in.
