Time flies, and the carnival enthusiasm for the Lantern Festival has not yet faded, and groups of transport vehicles have appeared on the roads in Suzhou.

According to the government's policies, transporting food and supplies to Shifeng Shiyi has become a big shortcut for the people to earn extra money during winter leisure.

In order to solve the concerns that the people were unwilling to go too far, Xu Qilin also used the power of the government to set up a transit transport fleet in Fengyi, 300 miles away, responsible for the transfer of Fengyi Festival to the further Fengyi Festival level.

The people are only responsible for transportation tasks in the first three hundred miles, and only one round trip every ten days at most. If they transport to the nearest Fengshi, they will be able to come back almost the same day.

Because of the distance, the food and food storage in Fengyi was normal, and the front was more important and the back was less important, and the front was more important and the back was less important. What Xu Qilin did was just to reduce the burden on the army to march, but he could not take all of it.

Even so, Gansu and Suzhou made great contributions to the conquest of Gaochang. Seeing the ever-changing data reports, His Majesty Li Er was both satisfied and at ease and would win this battle.

Of course, there are also things that are not very good, that is, Fang Er. Xu Qilin explained what he knew and also sent a letter from Fang's family written by Feng Fang Er.

Fang Xuanling immediately ran to the palace and said angrily that he would send his family to Ganzhou to tie back the villain Fang Er.

His Majesty Li Er rolled his eyes, how could he do this? Fang Er ran away from home and was not escaping marriage, because he had no idea about Princess Shang at all.

If you want to join the army and serve the country, you will be reckless and loyal. If you send someone to tie the house, wouldn’t you confirm the escape from marriage?

Therefore, the royal family cannot come forward to this matter. If Fang Er comes back, he cannot make too much noise.

His Majesty Li Er glanced at Fang Xuanling, who seemed to be still angry, and said slowly: "Fang Jun has his own idea and wants to make achievements. Is this good? But running away from home is wrong. Just write a letter to persuade him, or send someone to pick him up and let him go back to Beijing."

Fang Xuanling secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that his anger was pretending, and he wanted to see His Majesty's reaction. After all, it was the Fang family who almost slapped the Royal Family in the face.

"Your Majesty, since the rebellious son has been to Ganzhou, I must have had a good relationship with Xu Cheng." Fang Xuanling bowed and said, "If Xu Cheng persuades him, the rebellious son may change his mind."

His Majesty Li Er shook his head and said, "How could Qi Lin not persuade him? But Fang Jun refused to listen and ran around. Qi Lin was plagued by official duties, so he had to send someone to protect the safety, but he could not chase him."

From Xu Qilin's perspective, he could only persuade Fang Er, and he could still tie him up and take him back to Chang'an? So, these words were fine. He took a clear look, but gave Fang Xuanling the headache.

"Since this is the case, the Wei minister sent someone to Ganzhou with a letter to ask the rebellious son to come back." Fang Xuanling had no choice but to dare to guarantee the bill, so he had to give it a try first.

His Majesty Li Er nodded and said, "Li Simo wants to cross the river north in June to the place where he originally lived in Henan. I want to build a state and restore agricultural reclamation. Let's discuss it!"

Fang Xuanling bowed to take the order and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, will you follow the management method of Ganzhou?"

His Majesty Li Er pondered for a moment and said, "When I ask Qi Lin, if the land in Henan and Hexi have the same conditions, then make a decision."

Fang Xuanling bowed and said, leaving only His Majesty Li Er in the hall.

The land in Henan is south of the Yellow River, also known as Hetao. Xihe County was established during the Western Han Dynasty. Because it could be irrigated by the Yellow River and immigrated to the border, local agriculture developed rapidly and the economy flourished.

But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Huns who surrendered to the Han Dynasty were placed in Hetao. In the later dynasties, the Hetao area was a major place for many northern regimes to compete for.

After Li Simo was ordered to lead his troops north, His Majesty Li Er did not want to resettle the surrendered people here anymore, but wanted to follow Ganzhou, re-grow and develop farming, and shepherd war horses to help military funds.

This idea is correct and also conforms to the ideological tendencies of the ministers in the court. Since Asina joined forces and rebelled, ministers have often written letters to talk about the many inconveniences of the Turks staying in the southern part of the Yellow River.

His Majesty Li Er's proposal is to conform to the wishes of all the ministers. Immigration in the border area has consolidated the border defense in the north and became the northern barrier of the ancient capital Chang'an. On the other hand, it also alleviated the problem of narrow and large populations in Guanzhong.

Compared with Hexi, Hetao is closer to Guanzhong, and if you want to immigrate, it will be much less difficult. Rest in peace and relocation is probably the reason why the people are reluctant to leave their hometown as long as they can survive, even if they are more suffering.

After fighting Gaochang, should Qi Lin be transferred to Hetao to work and accelerate development and construction?

This thought flashed through His Majesty Li Er's mind, but he was still not sure. It depends on whether the development of Gansu and Suzhou states is stable and sustainable, so that it can be decided.

It’s not that it’s impossible to change to someone else, but His Majesty Li Er believes that no one works faster than Xu Qilin. In other words, one adapts to local conditions and the other follows the old ways, which determines the level.

What are the old routines that encourage agriculture, sericulture, and labor service, and how to be diligent and honest in officials? These old routines are still effective, but their efficiency is far less than that of Ganzhou's experience.

Open trade routes, open trade, give full play to local characteristics, use business to supplement agriculture, and develop comprehensively. Of course, Ganzhou's experience is more than just these.

The government provides interest-free or low-interest loans, encourages and supports and guides the people to engage in side businesses, which is more in-depth and is not something that other places dare to implement.

Even His Majesty Li Er was deeply impressed. There were so many income-generating projects in Ganzhou, which seemed to be remote. This was not determined by knowledge and cultural level, but could only be discovered based on vision and wisdom.

Perhaps three years later, Xu Qilin should be sent to Shandong. His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt that it was not much for the slow development of Hetao. To conquer Goryeo, Shandong's ills were a big problem.

Just like Hexi can serve as a backing for the conquest of Gaochang and a logistics base for controlling the Western Regions in the future. If Shandong can provide food and food resources, wouldn’t it be twice the result with half the effort?

This Shandong is not just a Shandong Province in later generations, but refers to the vast area east of the Taihang Mountains, including the current northern Henan Province, Hebei Province and Shandong Province.

From the geographical location, we can see how important this place is to conquer Goryeo in Liaodong.

The failure of Emperor Yang Guang of Sui to conquer Goryeo was largely due to the fact that Shandong could not supply enough materials and needed to transport grain from Guanzhong, which led to long transportation routes, high costs and poor people's expenses.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, in the battle against Liu Heita, he had great damage to Hebei, unlike Guanzhong, and he had achieved stability very early.

The conquest of Goryeo was His Majesty Li Er's obsession. It not only restored the former land of Liaodong during the Han Dynasty, but also proved to the world that Emperor Yang of Sui suffered a crushing defeat in the two conquests of Goryeo, but I, Li Er, could surpass him without any effort.

Without any effort, you need to accumulate for a long time and have enough money and food.

Even when Ju Wentai entered Chang'an, he saw the malpractice along the road. He felt that the Tang Dynasty was not as rich as the Sui Dynasty, and did not use the capital to fight thousands of miles. What's more, Goryeo, which was dozens of times stronger than Gaochang.

If Shandong can support one-third of the army's food and supplies and mobilize the same forces as the conquest of Gaochang, it will have enough chances of victory.

His Majesty Li Er made such a judgment. With heavy trench and tunnel blasting, the strong city that Goryeo relied on would no longer be a huge difficulty.

Thoughts flew, His Majesty Li Er got up and walked, and before he knew it, he came to the side hall. What was unfolding was the sand table of the "majestic Tang Dynasty". Seeing Liaodong from the Western Regions, he couldn't help but feel full of confidence.

…………………

His Majesty Li Er from Chang'an is longing and full of confidence; Fang Er from Ganzhou is also letting himself go, like a wild donkey with a reincarnation.

Yoho—— Fang Er howled a wolf howled, galloping on the vast grassland, running and screaming, so wild.

Luda rode his horse and made great progress in riding skills. He was neither anxious nor slow, and kept a certain distance from Fang Er.

This is Shandan Ranch, which is also very famous in later generations. There is no significant effect in the year of operation, but the output and inventory of cattle, sheep and horses are growing steadily.

Xu Qilin also began to encourage farmers to grow alfalfa and soybeans. In addition to providing feed, they can also borrow money to buy horses and carriages.

Taking advantage of the good opportunity to transport grain from Fengyi, many farmers have borrowed loans to purchase carriages, which can not only make extra money, but also be convenient for home use in the future.

This has prevented the number of horses in Shandan Ranch from increasing significantly, but there are cycles in animal husbandry, so Xu Qilin is not in a hurry.

Luda was very concerned, thinking that the task given by his Lang could not be disgraced. The horses could not increase significantly for the time being, but sheep would do it!

Just before the New Year, more than 500 ranchs were slaughtered in Shandan Ranch, which made some money during the peak sales seasons of the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival.

Finally seeing the benefits, Luda gave the money to Xu Qilin to express his work results.

Xu Qilin just looked at the number and returned it to the ranch with the additional investment. He also told Lu Da that the batch of war horses he purchased would arrive soon, the ranch would be expanded, and it would be more well managed.

It was this time that he met Xu Qilin and Fang Er saw it. During these days in the Xu Mansion, Fang Er lost a lot of money, and Xu Qilin still gave it to him, which made him embarrassed.

I guess people were sent to Chang'an to find him, so Fang Er took the excuse of going to see the ranch and practicing riding skills, and came to Shandan with Lu Da.

When we arrived at the ranch, Fang Er was immediately attracted by the vast scenery and rough lifestyle here.

Within a few days, the same rough and generous shepherd became familiar with Fang Er.

In fact, from the noisy city to the comfort of the blue sky and white clouds here, Fang Er may just be fresh.

Most people are the same. After living in the city for a long time, they yearn for the silence of the countryside; when they stay in the countryside, they want to be bustle of the city again.

It is said that living in a villa by the sea is the most beautiful life. But if you stay for a year or two, you may be upset, enough, and yearn for another beautiful environment.

Fang Er galloped and ran until the horse showed fatigue, and then slowed down.

Luda followed, and fell behind by a horse and praised: "Erlang's riding skills have made great progress, and it is no problem to go into battle to rush."

Fang Jun laughed twice and said helplessly: "I want to make achievements. I can make sense of fists, kicks, weapons, and riding and shooting, but my family doesn't agree."

After pausing, he continued, "Qi Lin has no such many bonds and is capable, and he is doing well outside."

Luda nodded in agreement and said, "Alang is indeed talented and looks like whatever he does."

"It's so enviable!" Fang Er sighed rarely, looking at the two sheep in the flock in the distance, and couldn't help but smile again: "Do you know that someone was defeated by Qi Lin in fists and feet, and he was knocked out twice!"

Lu Da looked surprised and said, "I know that Alang has some skills, but I don't know that Erlang is not his opponent?"

Fang Er smiled and said, "This kid rarely shows his true skills. I dare to say that among the boys of similar age in Chang'an, no one is his opponent."

Lu Da really believed this time. Fang Er knew a little bit of a temper. When he was happy, he even wrestled and fought with him and the shepherd on the grass. He was very strong and had good martial arts skills, so he couldn't beat him.

"If you have the chance, I want to compete with him to see if I have made any progress." Fang Erqu stretched out his thick arms and said, "He can manage the local area, and he will make contributions in the battle formation and show his strengths. Isn't it a pleasure."

Lu Da nodded and said, "Alang wants to go with the army to Gaochang, and he also wants to go with him. There are so many foreign generals in the Tang Dynasty, but he also wants to become a member."

"Have ambition." Fang Er smiled and stretched out his thumb, saying, "It's just not easy, you have to work harder."

Luda smiled, took out the bow and arrow from behind, rode his horse, then shot it out suddenly. Then, the horse kept galloping to the prey and hid in a pedal, reaching out to catch the prey, but it was a hare.

"Okay!" Fang Er couldn't help cheering.

When it comes to equestrianism, he thinks he has made great progress; when it comes to archery, he hits targets on the flat ground. But when it comes to combining the two, he is not as good as Luda.

Luda ran back with his prey and said to Fang Er with a smile: "Erlang thinks that someone's riding and shooting is not bad? He only wants to be able to fight in the army, and starts with a small soldier, and doesn't care."

Fang Er reached out to pass the bow and arrow and said, "By this riding and shooting technique, I feel inferior. If you want to join the army, it's not a problem."

Lu Da scratched his head and said with a hint of embarrassment: "I told Alang about this, but Alang asked him to read and read. He said that he did not read military books and did not understand military books and strategies. How could he be promoted step by step from a small soldier?"

"This is right." Fang Er nodded and said, "If you want to be a general, you must understand the art of war. If you want to learn, you can still understand some words and you can barely explain it."

Luda hurriedly bowed and thanked him, saying, "I'll thank you Erlang."

There are also civilians in the ranch. Xu Qilin had already asked Lu Da to learn to read and read with civilians. Perhaps it was because of nature, just like some people get headaches and sleepy when they read, and Lu Da's cultural level has improved very slowly.

Although Fang Er likes boxing and martial arts since childhood, his background determines that he must read and read. If he is semi-illiterate, where can Fang Xiang’s old face be?

Of course, Fang Er said he wanted to be a teacher, and Lu Da was just politely thanking him, but he didn't want to be trouble.
