A few days later, Li Chongjiu led an army to Huaihuang Town to take a short rest. Liu Yi, Zhou Xu and Ji Chuan, three civil servants from Huaihuang Town, immediately came to visit Li Chongjiu, and everyone was reunited after such a long separation.
It’s a big deal not to see Huaihuang Town for a year. Now the grass market in the north of the city has developed into a city that is not inferior to the city’s attached city. According to Zhou Xu, there are more than 3,000 Hu merchants and merchants in all directions here, and even there are merchants from Koguryo in the western regions. Even in winter, Huaihuang Town is a thriving scene.
Without the financial support of Huaihuang Town, Li Chongjiu’s large-scale support of the South Army would not have been able to maintain the city’s establishment less than two years ago, which has brought continuous support to Li Chongjiu. However, when Li Chongjiu heard this, it was much more worried. Huaihuang Town was at the front line of Turkic Liu Wuzhou forces, and once it fought here, it would be at the forefront. Did it not greatly destroy Li Chongjiu’s biggest financial income now?
Zhou Xu didn’t see Li Chongjiu’s worried face, but introduced him to the Hope Museum with great interest. It has been a year and a half since the Hope Museum was established, and he has completed the basic training of Chinese characters in Huaihuang Town. For those children, he also taught rhymes, teachings, thousands of words, Analects of Confucius and other recitation exegesis and basic arithmetic training.
Unconsciously, Zhou Xu has been deeply involved in the fun of President Zhou. He feels that the teaching scale can be expanded. Zhou Xu even sent Li Chongjiu out of the three first-level promotion colleges of Mengxue Primary School and County School. The reason is that Li Chongjiu has now become a county magistrate, and it is no longer necessary to set up education even once in a while in Huaihuang Town, and to expand the scale and number of students.

Note 2 Lingqiu County in Sui Dynasty is equivalent to Yangyuan County in Lingqiu County of Yuxian County today.
Chapter two hundred and ten Zhaoxian Pavilion
Li Chongjiu agrees with the opinion that Zhou Xu should set up a county school.
Ji Chuan said, "Please forgive me for saying that there is no shortage of brave warriors in Huaihuang Town, Grassland Valley and County. There is a shortage of talented people who can govern one side, but generals do not lack cunning and sophistry tactics, but they can shortage thousands of talents, let alone ten thousand generals. Although the generals can say that they will win the battle and attack, they are all talented people who have no strategy."
Li Chongjiu was a little unhappy when he heard this. What happened to Ji Chuan? Forgive me for telling the truth, but he really fell into his face on the spot. Where is there such a face and didn’t give it to the boss?
Li Chongjiu said grumpily, "You said that I was about to train such talents gradually in primary schools and counties."
Yoshikawa said, "Before you forgot me, you said that a hungry man died after three days of weaving nets to catch fish, but he starved to death?" Eye satrap place is thousands of miles wide and sparsely populated, but it also needs to be able to control thousands of miles. Being virtuous and satrap is now an official. I see that Zhou Xiong’s Oracle reader is acceptable, and Liu Xiong’s arithmetic is barely enough. Although Zhao Wansan has never met, he can’t think of a hundred miles to find such a talent temporarily. If it takes five or ten years to train such a talented person, "
"All of us are dying of hunger."
Good Yoshikawa attacked Li Chongjiu’s civilian officials with a poisonous tongue. Well, it is estimated that Su Su is Li Chongjiu’s fourth uncle who finally left some face.
Zhou Xu immediately became so angry that Zhou Xu stammered as soon as he got angry. "Good for you, Ji … Chuan … How long are you?"
Liu Yi snorted coldly. "I don’t know if he came to Huaihuang Town because of adultery!"
Yoshikawa was exposed when he was furious. "What did you say about adultery? I’d like to say it again. At the beginning, Chen Ping was still ignorant of money and stole his wife’s wife. Can you think that you are so short-sighted?"
Liu Yi sneered, "You’re the only one who can talk big, but you’re better than Chen Ping. It’s true that a horse doesn’t think his face is long. Then how can you be a thousand miles talented if you see it?"
Yoshikawa seems to have negative hands and then said, "If you want to be virtuous, of course, you must look for it from the cremation. Since ancient times, you can get out of Fan Kuai but you can’t get out of Xiao Zhangliang."
"There is also Han Xin Chen Ping in the cold door," Zhou Xu said. "There is no famous family in Guyi County. Besides, where can we find family support?"
When Jichuan, Liu Yi and Zhou Xu quarreled again, it took a long time to think of losing their manners, so they confessed to Li Chongjiu together.
Li Chongjiu yawned for a long time and waved and said, "It’s unnecessary to confess. I think we can follow Yan Zhaowang’s example of building Huang Jintai and buying horse bones. Anyone with a skill can come to the defect."
When this statement came out, all three nodded and said that it was a good word.
Li Chongjiu saw that the three people agreed to say, "Then I will set up a recruiting hall in Yixian County, Huaihuang Town, and if the talented people are treated with courtesy, the county government will make a history." All three people agreed unanimously.
After agreeing to recruit talents, Li Chongjiu decided to inspect the situation near Yihuai Town. First, Li Chongjiu rode to the north side of Anguli Nao Lake.
At this time, Anguli Nao is still frozen, and a thick layer of ice cover the lake like a pot cover. As far as you can see, the birch forest has been cut down, and some wooden houses and tents have been built to live in.
There is life all around, but the ice surface is full of hundreds of people. They wear thick-soled fur boots and are using wooden sticks to cut ice to get fish. When they see several big holes in the lake, the fishing nets are deeply scattered in the lake. When they close the nets, they command a hundred people to start dragging the fishing nets from the water to pull the ice sheet.
Fishermen’s boat is full of soul-stirring flavor, which is the old fishing way of their tribe. Liu Yi said that every time they catch fish, they can catch hundreds of pounds, ranging from three to four pounds to five or six pounds. If less than two pounds of fish are put back into the water, the big fish will come to eat. This is the truth that the grassland keeps killing each other.
In addition to eating fish themselves, most of these fishermen trade yellow wine, porcelain, tea bricks, silk cloth, grain, beef and mutton in the grass market, so please ask them to eat fresh fish all year round in Huaihuang Town.
After inspecting the north lake, Li Chongjiu came to the south slope again. This is the center of gravity of Huaihuang Town. In this era when there was no cold meat, millet and rice were easy to hide, but cattle, sheep and fish were not in this category. An ordinary animal epidemic might make few cattle and sheep in the herd, not to mention the wealth and hair.
The daily staple food of the Han people was corn and wheat, although it was cultivated, but it belonged to miscellaneous grains. Before the two tax laws, the government implemented the rent-and-rent system, in which two stone millet, half silk and cotton were rented for two days to collect taxes. The main reason was that the millet was insufficient to supplement the miscellaneous grains. At the end of Sui and early Tang Dynasties, because wheat had the advantage of planting in two seasons, the northern part gradually reached the equivalent position of corn, and the court promoted the two tax laws to collect wheat in summer.
Wheat is cold-resistant, and the southern slope of Huaihuang Town is full of wheat fields. Winter wheat has long been planted in a large field. On the theory that Han people are all dressed in leather and linen, they go to the frozen soil in early spring one by one to check the moisture loss, but the land on the other side of the wheat field is also prepared to be leveled when the farming season arrives. Millet fields, sorghum fields, millet drought-resistant and barren porridge are more delicious than wheat. It has always been a favorite food for the people before Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Li Chongjiu walked slowly in the field. Several old farmers heard the satrap and came to visit Li Chongjiu at once. So they asked a lot of questions about farming. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was not necessary to be clear about whether it was a scholar. Officials had to know a lot. In the past, they couldn’t tell the difference between husked wheat and grain, but in later generations, they were regarded as wise. Today, I’m afraid even many college students have to hehe.
Li Chongjiu, an old farmer, talked a lot. In addition to grain planting, they also hope that ducks and chickens can be herded here in the south slope after spring, so that poultry can be eaten, locusts can be prevented, and feces can be fattened.
Li Chongjiu felt that it was reasonable to let Liu Yi carry out this matter as soon as possible. Several old farmers listened to it and thanked them together.
Chapter two hundred and nineteen A campaign
After a day’s inspection of farming, Li Chongjiu returned to Huaihuang Town. In the evening, wheels rang in the distance, and another convoy of Hu people’s tribes was moving from the distant grassland to establish a camp near Huaihuang Town to prepare for the mutual market.
Looking at the spark in the distance, Zhou Xu Liu Yi Ji Chuan is full of pride. At the beginning, when Huaihuang Town was in such a hurry, the wilderness was so desolate. Now it is never seen again. Just outside the city, there are more than 6,000 Hu merchants and Hu tribes, and the population of the city people is close to 10,000 people. There are three religions, nine streams, agriculture, industry and commerce, and it is about to reach the standard of a county in the Sui Dynasty. "
Li Chongjiu is even more worried about the war in Huaihuang Town in the future. In case of war, it is easy to manage a good situation, and there is no better way. Li Chongjiu decided to set up a grass market in Yuyi Town this year, and Yuyi Town is farther away from the Turks and closer to Wuhou Qinshui. This is also a peach plan.
At the same time, Li Chongjiu also ordered Tan Zong to set up ten more bonfire piers around Huaihuang Town. Ten people were stationed in each bonfire pier. In case of the enemy’s situation, ten fast horses were always kept in the pier. Once the enemy attacked, they didn’t have to stick to it. In addition, Li Chongjiu also strengthened the garrison in Huaihuang Town, increasing the number of troops from 1,000 to 1,500. Tan Zong could recruit soldiers from the nearby Hu tribe and choose Huaihuang Town to station troops for one year. Han troops were stationed in the garrison, while practicing and grazing in the barracks to solve some rations.
Just setting up a bonfire pier is to increase the number of troops in early warning, which is also insignificant for the 200,000 fighters in Turkey. Of course, the move of the Turkic Khan to the south also requires an adjustment and adaptation process. Li Chongjiu thought that he must find another way to avoid the attack of Huaihuang Town by the Turks.
Huaihuang Town has rested for three days, which is also considered as reuniting the families of the foot soldiers of the Han army. After a long period of half a year, Li Chongjiu returned to Yuyi Town with a great army. Although he had rested for a period of time due to heavy snow, Jiulianbao, a mountain fort near Yuyi Town, has been built, including the defense of the main city Dahong City Yuyi Town, which has become an iron wall.
The dock fort ranks guard huangse rammed earth fort with a brother, and it stands like a prairie flat with hills.
This scene made Li Chongjiu’s nerves slightly relaxed because of the possible coming war, and the cavalry who followed Li Chongjiu’s army broke into cheers when they saw Yuyi Town. Because they finally went home, they all gained a lot this time. When they returned to the tribe, they could let their wives and children share their joy. As soon as the elders of Jin Khanate met Li Chongjiu’s triumphant army outside Yuyi Town, they just hugged themselves left and right.
Tell a story about the other feelings. Li Chongjiu should ask, "What are their movements in the Ministry of Mohe Fu?"
All the elders listened to one by one, all of them were silent. The elder Ku Mo Yan said, "Khan will discuss it after entering the big account."
Lee Chong-jiu understood that all of them should enter an item in an account to discuss Ku Mo-yan’s way: "Two messengers of Mohe Fu’s department have lived near the account and we have discussed it for several days …"
"So what are the terms of discussion?"
Cuomo said, "What do you think of giving 100,000 sheep, 3,000 female slaves and 300 Khan at the same time?"
Li Chongjiu asked, "What if I don’t think so?"
Aside, another Bai Hu elder said, "If Khan forbids Mohafu to sign a contract, a department says that they will join forces with the Turkic Khitan to send troops on three sides to level us off."
The news of Yetuo Yinghe Hefu was furious, saying, "The Ministry of Mohe Hefu dared to be dangerous. We told them that the Xi people with guillotine rooms could have managed World War I without surrender rooms."
"Yes," Inghofer said with a less excited look but a very firm tone. "We have just become the laughing stock of the grassland since the Khan was cut."
An elder said, "The two generals are very brave. Of course, we know that we have just collected the old khanate, but how many warriors can we mobilize with 20 thousand accounts?" And Mohefu’s departments have been saving their strength for the past few years, and each department has at least 20 thousand accounts of strength. Why don’t we fight? "
Li Chongjiu looked at the elder and asked, "What’s the attitude of Mu Kun’s insulting Wang’s department?"
The elder said, "Qiu Lihan Jin doesn’t like to see our Xi people’s department move swords and soldiers. The Institute has always hoped that our three departments can speak and fight together against the Turkish Khitan’s humiliation of the king’s department, which has always been very cold to us. It can be guessed that this time, the Mohafu department dared to provoke us, except for the support of the Turks, which humiliated the king’s department and acquiesced in their actions."
"Of the five Xi clan departments, the humiliating Wang department is the strongest, with 30,000 to 40,000 accounts, and we can’t be their enemy for the time being."
After the analysis of these elders, Kumo Mo said, "If all the elders agree that Mohofer’s department is United with Turkic Qidan, we are not the enemy at all. We decided to promise to cut the Khan’s conditions first, but we can try to give less to the messengers of the two departments, just waiting for our final reply."
When the elders said that all the generals were furious, even Yan listed Sun Erniang with anger. "You are making your own decisions. I don’t agree that even if the elders make a unanimous decision, we must be approved by the four armies. But have you asked us what it means?"
An elder said coldly, "What do you mean? You four armies are still helping Khan plunder, and sometimes we care about the life and death of our tribe. If it weren’t for our old people who said good things and settled down a few messengers, I’m afraid you would have wrapped our bodies together by now! "
Li Chongjiu suddenly realized that the meeting was actually a sword dance, and the public elders actually expressed their dissatisfaction with the fact that they refused to listen to the Presbyterian command to transfer troops back to the grassland by taking this opportunity to cut themselves. Who said that prairie people would go straight?
Liyang County, Jijun County
At Baimajin Yellow River Ferry, a man with a silk scarf and a feather fan is looking at the muddy flowing Yellow River in the valley.
A general, Dabushan, said with a fist, "The ranks of Pushangong Liyang City who raped the commoners have been found."
"killed?" The man asked.
"Report back that Pushan Gong hasn’t"
"What are you waiting for?"
"Our officers and men have tracked down the traitor and are about to arrest him, but he escaped into Uncle Zhai’s house. Uncle Zhai said that the man is his family and will follow him through life and death in Wagang Village. How about playing with a woman casually?"
Shi Biao said with a horizontal eye, "No adultery with women is allowed. I’ve told these people time and again that these people know the law and break the law. Are you so timid that you don’t know how to lose it?"
The general burst on his knees and said, "Yes, the late generals said so, but Uncle Zhai said that the military orders should also look at people. In those days, if you were not in charge of Zhai and took you into Wagang Village, where was the Pushan public office today? I came to catch him because I wanted them to urinate in Zhai’s family, so he refused to let us go into the government to take people. If you really want to take people, please go to Pushan personally."
Shi Biao turned his head and said with a cold hum, "It’s true that when you are a role, you bring me a battalion of soldiers to go directly to the government. If anyone resists, you will arrest them and behead them on the spot, hang them at the gate and go back to camp after daughter-in-law. Then you will go back to the camp and get ten army sticks. I will never change the public military orders of Pushan. How can I shrink back because of the other party’s words and ask me what I mean?"
The general "Nuo" was sweating like rain.
Shi Biao finally waved and said, "But I’ll explain it when Zhai is in charge. Go and get someone."
"promise"
"bandits are bandits. Even if he is treated as an emperor, how can he be crowned with monkeys and never get rid of that bandit spirit?" Shi Biao’s staff Fang Yanzao said coldly.
Shi Biao shook his head and said, "Don’t say that Zhai is a hero, but his eldest brother is too disappointing. Always teach slowly."
"It’s good to learn to teach. Look at Zhai Hong, who knows how to think in his crotch all day. These five counties have been decided for only half a year. Not to mention that his family will attack a city. The first thing he wants to do is to change his wife. He is also qualified to be self-sustaining, and his old eyes are all meritorious, and he doesn’t look at the fact that there is no secret public. Where can there be such a person in Wagang Village today?"
Shi Biao saw Wei Zhi Zujunyan come over with the wave and said, "It’s unnecessary to say that Zhai is in charge or a white case."
