Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 16 Results

693 was another year of instability. Droughts were common in the Eastern Continent, and the empire also suffered from extensive droughts. Except for Jiangnan County, where the river network is dense, even the "empire" supported by several huge lakes The "Grannary" Wuhu County can only barely maintain the water for farmland in the area around the lake. In most areas, the agricultural harvest in the big and small springs has suffered a rare reduction in harvest for decades, or even no harvest.

Countries from the south to the north have also encountered droughts of varying degrees. All their energy seems to be focused on how to overcome the difficulties and maintain normal production and life. In tightening their belts and striving to survive this difficult year, all military operations have automatically stopped, and news of people starving to death has been heard from all over the place. What the ruler will face is the dissatisfaction of the people and even uprisings. Think about other things.

As for Qingyang Prefecture in the northwest region under my rule, due to the completion of the water conservancy project, the Miluo River, Taiping River and other rivers formed by melting snow from the Dahengduan Mountains were diverted into various irrigation ditches. Xiaochun has had a bumper harvest, and Dachun must be a bumper harvest. Jinzhou Prefecture is also close to the Hengduan Mountains, and many streams and rivers formed by snow water have been introduced into the farmland. In addition, the southern and central farmlands have only been developed by the Gaoyue people, so the crop yield will also be greatly improved compared to last year. , I estimate that only a small amount of grain needs to be transferred from Qingyang Prefecture to meet the needs of the entire Gaoyue people in Jinzhou Prefecture. Of course, they must also provide me with a large amount of high-quality and precious wood in exchange.

However, the two prefectures of Guide and Bonan were not the main food producing areas in the first place. Coupled with the social security chaos and drought, many hungry people and mobs took advantage of the situation to rise up and collude with the already rampant thieves to loot the two prefectures together. The large merchants in the market towns of various places are in a precarious situation. The security forces of the two prefectures are already insufficient, and they are exhausted. Get out of town easily. The rioting army is even more like a prairie fire, and the rioting army in the two prefectures also echoes each other from the south to the north. Affected by this, Longdong Mansion in Kansai County and Heishan Mansion in Heshuo County also began to show signs of instability.

Although there is no sign of any signs in my ruled area, but in order to prevent it from happening, I also deployed the first and second wings of the Qingyang First Security Division in the border area between Qingyang and Guide In view of the immature training of Jinzhou's army, I ordered Cui Weixiu to personally lead the remaining three regiments to station in the border area between Jinzhou and Bonan to strictly prevent the mob from infiltrating.

At the end of July, I went to Jinzhou again for the summer vacation. I also inspected the work of the Jinzhou local government in the past few months. Lu Xianxian and Di Lena also accompanied me. In the past few months, the two girls have become good friends who talk about everything. Di Leina's personality is quite docile. After Lu Xianxian surrendered to my crotch, she also comforted and cared for Lu Xianxian in a timely manner. The woman soon became acquainted.

By the end of July, the population of Qingyang had soared to more than 850,000 people. The drought in various places also promoted the migration of people to Qingyang and Jinzhou in disguise. I am cautious about entering the population. First, I am worried that mob spies will take the opportunity to sneak in. In addition, I have already included these two prefectures in my sphere of influence. Sooner or later, they will be in my pocket, so there is no need to move into Qingyang.

Caressing the pretty face nestled beside me, she teased Lu Xianxian, "Xianxian, how can you explain to your grandpa when you go back this time?"

"Hmph, I'm ashamed to say it. You can tell my grandfather yourself." Although she is already mine, Xianxian is always a little embarrassed. After all, she lost her virginity without the explicit consent of her elders. As for the body, if the elders pursue it, how can I be ashamed?

Looking at Xianxian who was a little worried, I couldn't help comforting her: "Anyway, the raw rice has already been cooked, so it's useless for you to object any more. At worst, you just go back to Qingyang with me. What's more I don't think your grandpa will have any objections, he should be mentally prepared if he agrees with you to come with me, I'm not a saint."

"Bah, you're really thick-skinned." I pinched me with a shy smile, and I dragged her into my arms, and the other hand went into her bust, rubbing her wantonly. Seeing the firm bulge, she suddenly limp in my arms,

"Master, this is on the carriage," Lu Xianxian said softly in my ear, panting, "Di Lena is also watching."

"What's the matter, this carriage has a very good sound insulation effect. As for Di Lena, she won't be able to escape for a while."

Di Lena, who had been shaken for a long time, naturally couldn't escape my clutches, and finally succumbed to my lust. The whole journey is like a romantic trip of love.

When I arrived in Jinzhou, I quietly came to the barracks of the two garrison divisions alone. Although the sun was scorching, the four soldiers standing guard at the gate of the camp held long guns and remained motionless, letting sweat soak their bodies. From a distance, you can see the big competition field, the banners cover the sun, the sound of killing is loud, and the training is going on in full swing.

"Stop! No one else is allowed to approach me!" Seeing me approaching stealthily, the soldiers on guard were very vigilant, and immediately rushed over fiercely.

"It's me!" He replied to the soldiers while admiring their vigilance.

"Ah! It's the city guard!" The four soldiers recognized me immediately. They had all received my lectures before, and immediately gave a standard military salute.

I also returned a salute and told them that they don't need to report, I just took a look below and let them continue to perform their duties.

Walking into the Jiaochang camp area, the eastern half is the training camp of the 1st Guards Division, and the western half is the training camp of the 2nd Guards Division and the Pikemen Wing directly under it.

The First Guard Division is conducting a coordinated combat drill between the cavalry and infantry regiments. Their basic training is obviously much more proficient than that of the Second Guard Division in the west. With the sound of the beating, the infantry divided into two battle groups charged towards each other with the cooperation of the cavalry. The formation also changed accordingly. The two sides kept colliding, entangled, and then separated again. The soldiers in the disrupted formation quickly assembled under the loud orders of officers at all levels to form a battle formation again.

I hid in the shade of a tree and observed carefully. Liang Chongxin really did not live up to my expectations. In just four months, he was able to train an army mixed with a large number of recruits to such a state. Easy, but this is also within my expectation, otherwise I would not have entrusted him with such a heavy task.

I quietly turned to the west again, the training here is just as hot. Under the command of the commander, the spearmen kept waving their arms, shooting wave after wave, and the flying spearmen formed a dark cloud; while the heavy armored infantry carried a solid and huge shield in one hand, and held a sharp sword in the other. With a halberd spear, he repeated a series of actions, squatting down, carrying the shield, raising the spear, and thrusting. The two weapons, which are difficult for ordinary people to hold, appear so light in the hands of Gaoyue soldiers, just like children playing with toys. The heavy and thick armor worn on them is not much different from ordinary clothes to them. From these alone, we can see how strong the physical fitness of the Gaoyue people is, far surpassing other races, not to mention their innate running ability.

But they also have the same weakness, that is, they are not good at using livestock, especially not being able to ride horses. This may be their biggest flaw, but I only need them to take on the heavy responsibility of infantry. As for cavalry, I have a large number of soldiers of other races who are competent .

With the sound of hurried footsteps behind me, I knew that Liang Chongxin and Mulige were coming.

At the briefing held in the city guard's mansion, Ling Tianfang made a speech on behalf of various departments of the Jinzhou government.

In the west and south of the original Gaoyue people's settlement area, four towns have been established, among which Woyuan Town and Rongchang Town are located in the central and southern plains, and the largest settlement of the original Gaoyue people in the south is named Heping Town. To commemorate the agreement reached there in exchange for peace, the settlement in the west is Jingpo Town. The guards of these four towns are respectively served by the four elders of the original Gaoyue tribe, and most of the other subordinate staff are also selected from the Gaoyue tribe. There are also more than 30,000 immigrants from other places, mainly distributed in the eastern and northern Yinong areas. Jinzhou Prefecture also has a large amount of uncultivated wasteland, enough to accommodate 300,000 people. The road from Jinzhou to Qingyang is progressing very fast and is nearing completion. It is estimated that it will be completed in another month. The road leading to Woyuan Town has been completed, and now the road from Woyuan Town to Heping Town is being built. Since this section of the road is mainly a mountain road, the progress is relatively slow, but once the road is repaired, the east foot of the Dahengduan Mountain The precious timber, medicinal materials, mountain products, wild animals and even mineral deposits can be continuously exported in large quantities, which will effectively promote the development of southern Jinzhou. The roads from Jinzhou Fucheng to Rongchang Town and Rongchang Town to Jingpo Town have also been designed and planned, and construction will start soon. The opening of these two roads will connect the western and central parts of Jinzhou. Will go to the next level. Speaking of this, even Ling Tianfang, who has always been calm, couldn't help but beam with joy and excitement, and even I was a little infected.

The economic development is also quite strong. Stimulated by the reduction of taxes, a total of 178 factories, workshops and shops of various sizes opened in four, five, six and seven months~IndoMTL.com~ There are many more Expand the scale of production and operation. Fiscal revenue has not decreased compared with the tax reduction before, but has increased, and the growth momentum is still quite strong. The basic construction of farmland water conservancy has been fully rolled out, and it is estimated that the construction will enter a climax after the crops are harvested in October. The work of the Combat Readiness Department is also very good. Up to now, 15,000 reserve personnel have been recruited, of which about 12,000 are from the Gaoyue tribe. The entire Jinzhou economy is developing rapidly, the social security is stable, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Then Liang Chongxin and Mu Lige made a brief report on the training situation of the two garrison divisions. The first garrison division has already possessed considerable combat effectiveness, which is enough to cope with World War I; the training work progress of the second garrison division It is also very large, but since the Gaoyue soldiers have hardly received formal military training, it still takes some time to strengthen it, but it is estimated that the expected purpose of training will be basically achieved in September.

After listening to everyone's report, I do not hesitate to use any good words to praise the achievements of all the people here. I know that the praise from the superior is often better than any other reward. This is not only the recognition of their hard work, It is also an affirmation of their work ability. After the praise, I also put forward my own opinion. The training of the army can only be strengthened, not relaxed; the construction of infrastructure can be appropriately slowed down. After all, it will take some time to raise funds. Although the third 900,000 imperial gold coins It has been transferred to Qingyang's account through Wanfeng Bank, but I am worried that the surrounding situation is unstable and war may happen at any time. I must leave enough emergency funds as a backup, and increase investment after the second half of the year; With regard to the intensity of tax collection, since the government has given preferential tax policies, if there are still those who attempt to evade taxes, they will never be tolerated and should be severely punished to deter others.
