& nb Chapter 128: People's Heart
& nb By the end of the year, Murong Yan reviewed the budget submitted by Zhou Xin and found that the budget in the northwestern region was much higher than before. In the year, it turned out that the northwest side consumed much more food and armaments than Yuan Xi and others in the past. He finally summoned Zhou Xin and asked, "What's going on?"
& nb Zhou Xin was a little bit embarrassed, and after a long time, he finally said, "Your Majesty, there have been artificial rumors in the northwest, saying that the jade throats were in the First World War ... and there is another secret. Small disputes are countless. "
& nb Murong Yan understood, and asked, "Can't find out where the rumor came from?"
& nb Zhou Xin said: "You can't check it out."
& nb Murong Yan struck a budget and asked, "Then you plan to continue like this?"
& nb Zhou Xin thought for a while, and finally said, "If ... if His Majesty allows, Wei Chen would like to second General Zuo. Northwest rumors, I'm afraid only she can calm down."
& nb Murong Yan said, "Well, you're a grand captain, so useless?"
& nb Zhou Xin touched the ground with his forehead and said, "Wei Chen has the burden of his Majesty, please save the crime!"
& nb Murong Yan didn't really blame, saying, "Go to Nanqing Palace and ask her."
When Zhou Xin came to the Nanqing Palace, he saw the left wolf standing under the window, and there was a school inside. Murong Xuan is studying in the school. Enlightened for him was right-filtrator Gan Xiaoru. Gan Xiaoru, a man with knowledge, has a soft stand, and he is quite capable of seeing the wind to make it work.
& nb Zhou Xin walked over and said, "Azuo."
& nb Zuolanglang turned his head, saw him, and said softly, "Taiwei Zhou, it's rare to see you set foot on my Nanqing Palace. Is there anything wrong?"
& nb Zhou Xin told Mu Rongyan, Zuolanglang frowned and said, "Is there an armed resistance?"
& nb Zhou Xin said: "No less than two or three times a month, but they are all small guerrillas. I usually just drive them out and never report them."
& nb Zuolanglang said, "What is Taiwei's plan now?"
& nb Zhou Xin said: "This is not the way to go. I just told your Majesty that I hope you can go to the border town. His Majesty seems to agree."
& nb Zuo Canglang said: "If it is suppressed, the strength of the elder captain is only a breeze. And the captain came to me and did not want to use force?"
& nb Zhou Xin said: "After all, they are swallows."
& nb Zuolanglang turned his head and looked at Murong Xuan in the academy again, saying, "In what capacity does Your Majesty expect me to go to the border town?"
& nb Zhou Xin asked: "What is your identity?"
"I want command of the Northwest Camp."
& nb Zhou Xin said: "This is not difficult. But Zuo, now the soldiers have their hearts on their backs. If you go there and dispatch a large number of troops ... I am afraid it will cause panic."
"I will pay attention."
& nb Zhou Xin nodded, he was assured of the left wolf. Now he said, "So, it's settled. When will you set out?"
At this moment, Murong Xuan also saw the left wolf outside the window, and he squeezed his eyes happily to the left wolf. Zuolanglang said, "Wait for His Highness to finish this lesson."
& nb Zhou Xin did not understand what this meant, but the next day, Zuo Canglang proposed to Murong Yan, requesting to take His Highness Murong Xuan and Rong Huazhi Tong to Mayi City. Mu Rongyan groaned for a long time and said, "Xuaner is only five years old, and he listens to Zhou Xin's words alone. The northwestern part of the country is not very flat now. The environment of the border is bad. Are you sure you want to take him?"
& nb Zuo Canglang said: "Since ancient times, snakes have no head. The instability of the people in the Northwest is because no suitable person has appeared to eliminate the influence of their predecessors. Now I have no military post, and I live in the palace for a long time. It's not upright. But if His Highness is there, there will be a name. "
& nb Murong Yan said: "But he is still young."
& nb Zuo Canglang said: "Therefore, Wei Chen has a merciless request. He hopes that His Majesty can draw a boundary and temporarily seal it to His Highness Mother and Son. In this way, His Majesty cannot go in person, just like in person."
& nb Mu Rongyan said, "Finally? You must have thought of it somewhere?"
& nb The left wolf did have a plan, she took a pen and circled a place on the map of Dayan behind Murong Yan. Murong Yan was a bit surprised. He thought it would be Su Xi or Mayi City. However, this is the desert near Koizumi.
& nb He said, "Here? You don't know, this is a barren land, right?"
& nb Zuo Canglang said: "After all, Your Highness is still small. If you divide the city, you are afraid that it will be counterproductive. You have a name."
& nb Murong Yan said, "It's up to you."
& nb Zuo Canglang knelt down and thanked, Mu Rongyan suddenly asked: "When will you return?"
& nb Zuolanglang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is afraid that Wei Chen has run away?"
& nb Mu Rongyan snorted coldly, and wrote a royal note to her.
The next day, the left wolf took Murong Xuan and Zhi Tong together and went to Koizumi.
When Zhitong heard that he was about to leave the palace, there had been a bit of joy in his brow. The smile on her face became more and more obvious until she got into the car and the carriage started. Although Murong Xuan is five years old, Zhitong was only twenty-one years old, just when he was young.
& nb Zuolanglang said: "We go to the northwest, we have a heavy responsibility. And we are bitterly cold, not talking about it. You are so happy."
& nb Zhitong said: "I always heard that the northwest is desolate and cold, but I never thought that there would still be one day in this life that I could follow the general and take Xuaner to leave the palace." She inhaled and held Zuo Cang The wolf's hand said, "General, Zhi Tong is really happy."
& nb The left wolf pulled back his hand and said, "Do n’t make it as good as the two of us elope with the children? You are happy now, and you will know what it means to be in the blessing when you are there."
Zhi Tong broke his tears and laughed. When he turned around and saw Murong Xuan eating pastry, he pulled out the silk and wiped his mouth. His eyebrows were filled with warmth and joy.
The carriage went out of Jinyang City and took the Jinji Ancient Trail. The left wolf lifted the curtain and saw the mountains faint outside. I don't know why, and suddenly remembered that year, for the first time, I went out of Jinyang City with Murong Yan and went to the Suying Camp.
& nb He laughed and fished her right away, kissing him her forehead. Then he spurred the horse and ran wild.
& nb Today the old road is still the same, and the past is like a sand-made city, which is silent. Memories are rusty knives, and those who have been skin-skinned can only smile.
When the carriage arrived at Koizumiyama, both Murong Xuan and Zhi Tong changed into thick furs. But in the new place, Murong Xuan was obviously very excited and not affected by the cold and wind and sand. Zuolanglang took his hand and said to Zhi Tong, "If we are going out, if you are tired, take a break first."
& nb Zhitong didn't ask them where to go, just said, "Come back early, I'm going to prepare dinner."
& nb The generals of Koizumiyama and Mayi City have already welcomed them early. Zuolanglang said, "Your Majesty's letter of appointment, have you all read?"
& nb The defender hurried in unison: "Back to the general, I have received orders from the court and Tai Zhou, and the nearby defenders obeyed the general's order."
& nb Zuolanglang nodded, and Shou asked: "Since the general has arrived in Koizumi, do you want to call soldiers and the people to preach?"
& nb Zuolanglang said: "No need, you divide the people into two groups, one stationed in the city gate normally, and the other with me and the three palaces to go down to see the highlands."
& nb Two defenders, one is Shen Yucheng's younger brother, Shen Yuhe, and the other is Zhou Xin's son, Miao Zhou. It was Zhou Xin's confidant, who had also fought with him several times. Since Zhou Xin ordered the audience to deploy, they are of course fully cooperating.
At this time, however, they came to the so-called "Her Royal Highness's Seal" and they were still puzzled. This piece is almost all desert, I don't know what it means.
& nb Zuolang pointed at the map and said, "Although it is far from the river, it is easy to divert. I need some soldiers, from here to here ..." She nudged her finger and drew a line on the map: "Dig a river and bring the water of the White Wolf River here. The project is a bit large and may take some time. You have to wait patiently."
& nb Shen Yuhe and Zhou Miao looked at each other and said, "General, this area has always been uninhabited. Is it useful for us to open the river for drainage?"
& nb Zuolanglang said, "No need to ask, go."
& nb then agreed, and immediately arranged the soldiers to do it. Zuolanglang urged: "Look for someone who knows river workers to lead, don't dig."
& nb and the two went, Murong Xuancai asked, "Azo, why is there nothing here?"
& nb The left wolf shook his hand and touched the yellow sand on the ground, saying, "In many parts of the world, there was nothing in the beginning."
& nb Murong Xuan's eyes lit up and said, "You mean, everything will grow out here in the future, and then it will become the same as Jinyang City?"
& nb Zuolanglang said, "What can grow in the soil depends on what is planted. Only the planter can control it."
& nb Murong Xuan did not understand again. Zuolanglang had to explain to him: "For example, we raise a pair of Haidongqing here, feed them and feed them water. If we don't let others hurt them, there will be more and more Haidongqing here. . "
& nb Murong Xuan understood it, and said with a distressed expression: "The big ash is very good! If there are many, many big ash, how much can I find for them?"
& nb The left wolf laughed.
The days in the border town were very boring. People in places like Sucheng and Mayi City still caused riots from time to time. Zuo Canglang ordered the people to drive out, but she herself and Murong Xuan drove the river in the desert near Koizumi.
& nb For Mu Rong, she invited a local Confucian to teach him to read and talk about the principles of governing the country and the world. Murong Xuan half did not understand, and accompany her to the desert after school. When he learned that the land was given to him by his father, he cherished it. Little children don't understand the barrenness and desolation here.
& nb Because the soldiers can call, the river drainage is almost no labor. Only a few masters of river engineering need to pay. Zuo Canglang had money in her hands. When Yuan Xi and others were there, she had some military expenses in her hands. She didn't spend much. At this time, she took it all out and hired some hardworking people to plant grass and trees along the banks of the dug river. Hearing this, Da Lingqin also invited some river workers to help.
& nb himself sketched some waterwheels and other samples, and ordered two adults to serve as supervisors.
& nbThe situation in the sand is not so easy to change, but here it is moistened by the water of the glacier, which is slightly better than elsewhere. Now the water of the Bailanghe River is being drained again, and some places gradually grow new green.
A large number of grass seedlings were scattered on this land. Murong Xuan watched the winter come to spring and the spring solstice. The scorching sun in the northwest tanned him, but this barren land really had a touch of green.
Zuo Canglang issued a document on behalf of Murong, stating that if people are willing to come here to graze sheep and cattle, various taxes and fees can be exempted, as long as grass and trees are used to compensate.
A few families slowly moved away, and they really raised sheep. Plant grass and plant trees while grazing. People who hired to grow grass before met and started to follow suit. Slowly, there was no need to pay additional fees. The grass they plant every day consumes less than cattle and sheep, but after all, the growth of grass and trees requires a process. The left wolf has been instructed by experienced herders to calculate and control the number of cattle and sheep.
& nb By the next year, when the dry season came again, the people were extremely short of water. Zuolanglang ordered the sergeants to maintain order and be freely used by the people on both sides of the strait. Zhou Xin understood what she meant, and sent some of the sergeants in Sucheng to scatter fry, plant grass, and plant trees.
Gradually, Zhou Xin's army was among the people and slowly gained some word of mouth. In addition, after Zhou Xin's arrival, Yuxia was still severe. Although there were casualties in each conflict, it was not Yan Jun's first move.
& nb So the riots were invisible, slowly less. Privately, His Highness Murong Xuan's name began to spread in the border town.
