Lu Qing made a pile of shepherd's purse and went back to make dumplings. Yumingchuan was busy with Qiu Chi these days, so Yunluo and Huojing made stuffing and rolled dumpling skin with her.
When yumingchuan came back in the evening, several people ate dumplings around the table.
During the dinner, Yu Mingchuan said that the time to go to Qiu Chi would be another half a month, and decided not to take too many auxiliary soldiers. It was not far away. It was no problem to let Qiu Chi take care of the meal for a few days. The most was to escort some things for war and let them taste the taste.
Of course, they have another consideration.
In fact, Yang Baowen didn't really want the two sides to fight each other. After all, they were originally a family. If his second brother Yang Jiantou could take the initiative to surrender, it would be great. It's really not good. Go to war again.
Therefore, what Yu Mingchuan and Yang Baowen have been doing recently is to show off.
Five thousand elite soldiers of wanjian city have recently "swept" several cities, and even ran to the Hechi area east of Qiuchi to do a military exercise.
That's the territory occupied by Yang Jiantou, Yang Baowen's second brother. They smashed nearby with their siege car for a while. They also caught the villagers of a nearby village to watch. In less than three days, the matter spread all over the river.
Lu Qing came up with this idea. In order to show their strength, all countries in future generations do this. Let the other party see their own strength, and then decide whether they can fight.
Such benefits are obvious. If the other party can't beat the evaluation, it may compromise directly.
Besides, now they are planning to tidy up Longdi. If they can't fight, they'd better not fight.
This time, Yu Mingchuan didn't give way to Lu Qing to help Qiu Chi. He didn't even plan to go, and gave the matter to die yunmo.
Yang Baowen doesn't have any opinion about this. He has seen the skills of Duan yunmo. He also thinks he is very good. Maybe he can really persuade Yang Jiantou to give up the river and restore unity.
Now that the heroes of the central plains are united, their division will only give other forces an opportunity to take advantage of it.
It's a pity that his second brother is determined and stubborn. He can't do it. He can only attack hard.
The officers and men of the recent "exercise" also have another task: suppressing bandits and incorporating the begging army.
These beggars are sometimes bandits. The boundary between the two is not very obvious.
At present, the most important thing is no longer to fight everywhere, but to settle Longdi as soon as possible and make it a base for wanjian city to attack the state of Zhao of Liu Yao and shile.
Lu Qing is very dissatisfied that both Liu Yao and shile call the country Zhao. Can't we distinguish it by another one? You have to call the same one.
However, she found that people here have their own way of distinguishing. For example, the Zhao state of Liu Yao is called Liu Zhao, and the Zhao state of shile is called Shi Zhao. It is clear to distinguish by their surnames.
Of course, no matter which Zhao or Lu Qing will not let them go.
When Lu Qing was busy with Nanan prefect Guo Daliang and asked the gathered refugees to reclaim their fields, Duan yunmo, Jiang Feng and Cao Hongchang went to Qiu CHIGUO with a large team. Even Li Lanxin followed. Yunluo said he was going to exercise her.
Yao Yisheng is ready to go back to Yumei. Everything here is over. He has nothing to do. He has asked for a set of the latest Manual of Tiangong Academy. After observing it in Nan'an for a while, he plans to go back to his territory to draw gourds and make rectification.
"General Yu, last time my father invited you and the Lord of the road to visit Yumei, but unexpectedly, the food and grass were robbed and delayed for a long time. When will you be free to go to Yumei again?"
When seeing off, Yao Yisheng scratched his head and couldn't help asking about it.
Yumingchuan and Luqing looked at each other, and then yumingchuan answered him.
"At present, there are a lot of waste in Longdi. I'm afraid there won't be much time. When the spring ploughing is over, it's better for Duke Fufeng to come here and see how our wanjian City reorganized this place. What do you think?"
Yao Yisheng tangled for a moment and nodded heavily. In fact, he also wanted to see what yumingchuan could do. After all, they said that Longdi would change a lot in a year.
I believe his father is also interested in coming to have a look, which is also good.
After seeing off Yao Yisheng and Lu Qing, they are really busy.
In March, although the wind on the plateau is still strong, the ground temperature is slowly rising. Therefore, counting the beggars and refugees gathered around, a full 50000 people began to reclaim land and plant food.
Nan'an is close to Weishui, and paddy fields can be reclaimed around it.
Lu Qing also asked craftsmen to make a large number of wind turbines according to the practices in the manual of Tiangong Institute.
The best natural resources on the plateau are probably these winds, which are no smaller than those on the other side of the Beida river.
The farmers and soldiers were surprised to see the water tankers turning.
On the edge of the paddy field, they built canals, and the outlet was also made on the edge of the canal, so that each paddy field can be watered. When the water is enough, the outlet will be blocked. If not enough, open it again.
In addition, the farm tools they use are all newly built according to the manual of Tiangong Academy. They are very easy to use. They don't even need to farm cattle. People can operate them easily.
Generally, farmers are assigned their own land and can learn from those Plantations under unified management in a large area. People there are also willing to teach them. If they finish their work, they can also work in the plantations, and the wages are very rich.
Guo Daliang, the governor of Nanan County, felt that he was a useful person for the first time. He was also busy every day, directing farmers to plough around in spring, and accepting new refugees.
Yumingchuan gave him great authority, just like a real sheriff.
It's just that he doesn't have any army.
It's easy for him to do this. He can not only display his skills, but also get the salary given to him by yumingchuan, which is much more than the original sheriff's salary.
Wanjian city is too rich.
Lu Qing is also busy every day. He only goes back to Nan'an City to rest at night. During the day, he rides the Xinghe River and runs around to monitor the use of farmland and fertilizer nearby.
Yumingchuan will also ride with her when she is free, riding big black, with her around.
Naturally, several clouds followed them.
Now baijitai's arm strength is gradually recovering. Ye Qiu repeatedly marvels that she has recovered well. It seems that she can recover to the previous level. Therefore, baijitai is very happy these days. Even her expressionless face occasionally smiles.
So now bojitai also attaches importance to the post of green guard, and stays around every day.
What they did in Longxi was naturally not silent, but quite blatant.
Within a month, things here had spread to Liu Zhao and Shi Zhao, as well as the Jin Dynasty in Pianan Jiangnan.
