Everyone’s doubts were solved: If Bai Qi had taken the Yellow River to attack the wall, no matter how outrageous it was, it would have been normal for him. Due to the simplicity of the record, Bai Qi could tell where he raised his troops, where they got on the boat, and where they landed.

, no matter how to attack, it was all in vain. However, although Bai Qi captured it at that time, he could not hold it in the end; but today, Hedong captured Yuan City without spending a single soldier, and was able to hold it. The situation is really incomparable.

powerful!

In the following time, everyone compiled a merit book for the prisoners. Pi Wan led the prisoners to Puban to cross the river. Officials from each county were waiting at the mouth of the Weishui River to take back the prisoners from their own counties. Originally, these prisoners only came to the east of the river.

The construction workers had no combat mission, so each county only sent some petty officials to escort them to Puban and hand them over to Hedong. After the construction was completed, they were taken back. But unexpectedly, in addition to building the city in Hedong, they also

We also captured an important city. According to Qin law, whether this kind of mission beyond the planned target can be regarded as military merit must be evaluated by the court council. Zhang Lu and Pi Wan cannot decide by themselves. Therefore, after the court council evaluates it, they can occupy it.

The city walls could be used as military honors, so Zhang Lu and the others built a merit register and then repatriated them. It was nearly a month later than the scheduled date. This news made the county officials sad. None of them participated in this military operation, otherwise they would not have known about it.

How many county-level officials can be promoted to nobility?

The merits of leading the troops in the military operation to capture Yuancheng benefited the 3,000 soldiers left behind by Shangjun. They served as all low-level officials from corps commander to fifty-man commander, and almost every one of them was promoted to one level.

They will return to Shangjun to prepare for spring plowing. However, one hundred of them were left by Zheng Anping and Chen Si to serve as pro-campers. Zheng Anping became an official official, and the number of pro-campers increased to one hundred people. Chen Si was promoted to official officials, and he could also have

A pro-camp of fifty people. Different from the people of Shangjun and Ye County, they very much yearned to settle in Xianyang. When Zheng Anping and Chen Si recruited pro-camps, they almost agreed without hesitation. Neither Zheng nor Chen had full quota.

Recruitment only kept the 100 people who had followed them to Yuancheng to preach. They also followed the brigade back to Shangjun, and after issuing the approval documents, they moved to Xianyang.

Xiao Nu gave birth to a daughter, which went very smoothly. She missed Gai Nie, and Zheng Anping told him that with Sima Jin taking care of him, Gai Nie would be a promising person. He followed her back and buried him. Although Xiao Nu expressed understanding,

But I often cry.

Zhang Lu did not have a title, and still served as the governor of Hedong as a guest of the King of Qin. He had no land and no personal camp. Zheng Anping also followed him and assisted him in handling daily affairs. Chen Si and Mang Wei both went to Yuan County. Zhang Lu had a premonition

It seems that this pair of people will not get along well. Mang Wei is a noble son, how can he stoop to serve as a soldier? And... Mang Wei is actually more suitable for the position of county magistrate, while Chen Si is more suitable for a professional career. In addition,

The Yuan Wei sandwiched between the two is the original Pi Shicheng. He has never dealt with these two people. This combination looks strange no matter how you look at it!

However, there is no time to take care of these personnel matters now. All the counties in Hedong are focusing on spring plowing. The internal history of Tingwei Mansion invited by Zhang Lu standardized the farming process in Hedong, drafted legal documents, and brought them back

It was promulgated after approval in Xianyang; before promulgation, Hedong first handed it over to the counties for implementation. Now the counties in Hedong organize the implementation according to the corresponding regulations.

Food from Hedong County was still shipped from the vassal territories in exchange for salt. Zhang Lu conscripted prisoners from the subordinate counties and concentrated them in Anyi to serve. A total of 500 prisoners were recruited and he began to repair the Anyi city and other public buildings.

facility.

The production of pottery began to recover, but the production of iron and bronze still required huge initial investment, and the recovery time seemed far away. The iron produced by Pishi became the only source of Hedong iron. The scale of production there was limited by manpower and

Supplies and iron tools were very limited. Although under the supervision of Zhang Lu and Pi Wan, the Pishi Iron Furnace increased its production intensity, the iron produced still could not meet the needs of the entire Hedong, which greatly affected spring farming.

Fortunately, after a year of grazing, the number of cattle has increased a lot, and it can barely meet the needs of spring plowing. Wu Wang saw everyone actively preparing for plowing, scratching his head and head anxiously.

Soon, the Prime Minister's Office issued a document stating that Chen Si and Zheng Anping's camp positions had been approved, and hundreds of families would move collectively to Xianyang Xiangqiu.

These families have exhausted all their savings during the year of famine. They are all skinny, disheveled, and mentally exhausted. Many families have people starving to death. Those who serve in Hedong are the backbone of the family. When they return home, they will see

They hugged each other and cried over the tragic situation at home. This move was not an easy task. They only brought the necessary luggage. They arrived in Xianyang first, had food, survived, and had strength, and then slowly moved the large and small furniture to Xianyang.

Longmen is on the other side of Pishi, and is the only way from Shangjun to Xianyang. Zheng Anping came forward and borrowed grain from Pishi, and agreed that after the people from Shangjun arrived at Longmen, they would cross the river to Pishi for food and give him three grains.

Tian. The connection work was completed by Mr. Xie Yan. He had interacted with these 100 people and knew each other. Wuwang returned to Xianyang first to arrange the reception work.

The first family who was closest crossed the river first and received one stone of grain at the post station outside Pishi City. After receiving Zhang Lu's instructions, Mr. Jieyan and Wuwang specially reminded that those who have just been hungry will have to pay for their food.

Unable to eat enough, he only gave each person a small bowl of gruel. When he got up the next day, there was still a small bowl of gruel. Wu Wang also said that on the way to Xianyang, it was this stone millet, and from Pishi to Xianyang,

It took about ten days and had to be very economical to get there. A small bowl of gruel brought hope to everyone and supported everyone's progress. After crossing the river from Puban and entering the Weishui River, the family hired a boat and arrived at Huiqiu.

Five personal guards from Ye County came to greet him.

The documents for Zheng Anping, Chen Si, and Mang Wei's promotions have already been sent to Feiqiu. Feiqiu Township Shifu and Huaili Shifu are the natal families of Chen Si and Mang Wei, and they were very happy to receive the letter. After Wu Wang came back, he told them

Chen Si and Mang Wei had become county magistrates and county magistrates and could not come back for the time being, but their relatives' camp they had returned to came to live there. They then took it upon themselves to expand the homes of Zheng Anping and Chen Si to accommodate these relatives.

Wuwang made the decision to allocate all the increased land allocated by the three people to the wasteland on the east bank of Fengshui River. Wuwang thought, if there are a hundred people farming, why do they need to cultivate the land? This is obvious to the villagers.

This is to prepare for the establishment of an independent city in the future.

After the first family arrived, the expansion of Zheng Anping's house had not been completed, so the family temporarily lived in Chen Si's home. Chen Si and Mang Wei's wives had returned to their parents' home temporarily after their husband left. Chen Si and Mang Wei returned

For this purpose, I gave fifteen shi of millet to each of my wife's family. Now these two houses are still empty, and the villagers usually help to take care of them.

Wuwang welcomed the family of guards into Chen Si's home, and brought five shi of food from Zheng Anping's house, indicating that it was a month's ration. Although the family only relied on one shi of millet to support themselves along the way, after all, they had food in their belly.

It was much better to eat only tree bark when I was in Shangjun. Now that I saw one or five stones of grain, the children's eyes lighted up, and the women began to sob. After a night's rest, the guard and the Yexian

The five people, together with Wuwang, went to the Fengdong wasteland to clear up wasteland.

A public official is at the seventh level and can own 900 acres of land; a government official is at the sixth level and can own 700 acres of land; and at the fourth level, he can own 400 acres of land. The three families combined have a total of 2,000 acres.

, but 500 acres of it are mature fields, so you don’t need to cultivate it yourself. At first, it was a bit difficult for seven people to cultivate 1,500 acres of land. With the gradual arrival of the guards, the farm work became easier and easier, and everyone even had enough energy to work on it.

A house was built in the east.

In the end, only 83 people came to Xianyang. The remaining 17 people committed suicide because their whole families starved to death! Among these 83 people, many families starved to death for more than half, and some families only had one or two members left.

The population of Shang County dropped significantly, but due to the reason for immigration, the reason for the population decline was obscured. The governor of Shang County still received a "flat" evaluation. Although he was removed from the post of county guard, he was appointed as the crown prince's Taibao, and was nominally promoted.

However, both King Qin and Marquis Rang knew about the serious situation in Shangjun, so they sent Bai Qi, the God of Death, to Shangjun, hoping that he could turn the situation into safety just like he did on the battlefield.

Since Zheng Anping paid a visit to Huang Xie last time, the situation of Prince Qin, who was held hostage by Wei, has become worse. An additional sentry was posted outside Guanyi where he lived, and patrols were stepped up at night. There are rumors that the Prince is about to return to the country.

.

The prince of Qin judged from these signs that Qin might take military action against Wei, but since no one informed him, he did not know what it would be. He did not receive instructions to evacuate, so he sent his followers around Daliang every day.

Collect various information, analyze and judge the situation. However, the followers also reported that the people who have been in contact with them recently have obviously become more vigilant and began to avoid them consciously. This further strengthened the prince's judgment that Qin will take action against Wei.

From the words of the business travelers, the prince has learned that a county has been set up in Hedong, and the county guard is the guest minister Zhang Lu. In the past year, Hedong has increased its population, built roads, reclaimed wasteland, and has made great progress. But the situation in Anyi has made the prince

It’s not that I didn’t understand when I was in Xianyang, it was a very difficult area to manage. It had been influenced by Jin culture for a long time and regarded Qin as a barbarian. I unconsciously had a feeling of superiority. Although Anyi was dedicated to the King of Qin by the King of Wei, it was very difficult to govern.

Difficulties, in the prince's opinion, are more of a burden than a territory. Countless efforts are spent every year to maintain the stability of Anyi. Now Qin has merged the five counties of Anyi and the four counties of Xihe and Beihe into one county, setting up

Maintaining management is a good strategy, but if it is possible to bring Anyi back to life in one year and threaten Wei, the prince himself thinks it is impossible.
