Zheng Yuming and Wu Wangsheng stayed in the Tang Dynasty until the end of September, when they returned to the Northeast County by boat together with Chu Chaohui. Wu used a total of 60,000 regular troops to fight against Tang, except for Wei Qing's 20,000 troops withdrew to the city of Throat, Zhou Cheng and Ma Ren's troops stayed in Tang. Zhou Cheng took 20,000 men and stationed them at the northern border of Tang, while Ma Ren led 20,000 soldiers and dispersed them to various counties in Tang.
From the day Wu soldiers entered the military camp, military training and literacy training were conducted at the same time. The Tang Dynasty had lost half of its original officials and there was a shortage of local officials, with the higher ranked officials being selected from the King's Court and the two colleges and universities, while the lower ranked officers and soldiers were temporarily drawn from Ma Ren's troops.
The sergeant's performance was so good that he was transferred directly from the army to the administrative system. Ma Ren not only stayed in Tang Di as the head of the military department this time, he was also appointed by Zheng Yuming as the temporary county governor of Tang Di. Tangland as a county is obviously too big, due to the unified poverty alleviation policy in Tangland, Zheng Yuming has no intention to divide Tangland into several counties for the time being. Of course, there is also the factor of insufficient administrative personnel in not dividing Tangland.
Zheng Yuming Wu Wangsheng and his party returned from Tangdi still by ship, but this time it was back to Kangseong, not to Ulsan. The return trip was made by boat to Southeast County, from where they took a carriage to the shore of the East Sea for an expedition, and returned to Kangseong by boat after the expedition.
Mr. and Mrs. Wu Wang-sheng were very happy to go to Tangland by sea from Nanbu, but when they came back, both of them were not in a good mood. Mr. and Mrs. Wu Wangsheng did the most in Tang Di is to the charity relief point for the refugees to give porridge, the refugees miserable to make people feel bad, Tang Di, all parts of the countryside in disrepair to make Mr. and Mrs. Wu Wangsheng tears. Thinking back to the beautiful and rich Nambu, the couple had a feeling that Nambu was heaven and Tang was hell.
Not only Wu Wangsheng and his wife feel this way, but also the ladies serving Wu Wangsheng and his wife are all feeling the same way. People should be happy to go home after a long time, but on the way back, they only felt depressed and uncomfortable, and only when the ship entered the Northeast County did people's moods start to return slowly.
This September, Wu has not yet been hit by cold air, and the average day and night temperatures remain around eight or nine degrees.
Northeast County to the East China Sea road to repair and wide and large, the road on both sides of the green trees planted only last year, the trees have just come to life a year, the trees on the leaves yellow refused to fall, in order to prevent the arrival of cold news will be the trees freeze to death, the roots of the trees, has been responsible for the maintenance of the road near the villagers with straw wrapped.
The wide and flat road makes people sitting on the carriage comfortable, and the scenery in the farmland on both sides of the road makes people look happy. Wu rice is harvested around the middle of September, and now it is the end of September, and the rice paddies have already been purchased. People from the carriage to see the farmland are dark, part of the farmland, some people plow, there are oxen, some people act as cattle back rope plow, there are directly take the hoe hoe. People ploughed the field to sow wheat seed and rapeseed, Wu had already popularized the planting of rapeseed throughout the country in the year before last, and the people of Wu began to use rapeseed oil as their main cooking oil.
"Yuming, isn't giving aid to Zhao too much?" Chu Chao Hui flipped through the list of Wu's aid to Zhao with a dark face, the list of supplies had already been shipped by Wu merchants to the border at the mouth of the throat.
"It just takes more points to work." Zheng Yuming was still approving official documents while sitting on the carriage, his four-wheeled carriage was special and had a folding desk.
Four-wheeled carriage space is relatively large, you can sit side by side three people position, the turn of Zheng Chu two tall people sitting side by side, space will have no extra, already not spacious seat, coupled with the Chu Chaohui intentionally squeezed, Zheng Yuming batch up the official documents to a little bit don't have a hand don't have a foot.
"That Zhao Xuan kid is greedy, beware of feeding his appetite." Chu Chao Hui still had a dark face, although he was quite clear about Zheng Yuming's intentions of pulling Zhao in this way.
Qi and Lu were afraid of the brave Wu army, and the intelligence system sent back the news that an alliance between Qi and Lu had been confirmed, and Yan, the northern neighbor of Qi and Lu, was also ready to join the alliance. Yan is a large country, but this vassal is not considered a strong country, because the population of Yan is not more than one million, not as large as the population of Tang. Yan is at a higher latitude, the average temperature is lower all year round, there are many grasslands in its territory, and its people are mainly engaged in animal husbandry, and the good horses of Great Qin come from Yan.
If Qi, Lu and Yan formed an iron alliance to jointly defend Wu, the northern border of Wu would be under great pressure. The eastern part of Wu is facing the sea, and there is no pressure on the border defense in the eastern part of the territory. In the southern part of Wu, south of Su Plain, there are very backward primitive tribes, and the primitive tribes are not big in size and backward in weaponry, so there is a garrison in Su Plain, which is more than enough to cope with these tribes. Only the western part of Wu was under great pressure for border defense.
Among the six major powers of Qin, there are two major powers of Chu and Chen bordering on Wu, and four years ago, Zhao Xuan annexed most of the land of Wei, and Wu gained another strong neighbor.
When the lightning destruction of Tang by Wu's powerful army unsettled the vassal states, it was important for Wu to remain friendly with its three strong western neighbors.
The good thing is that Chu is only connected by the Yangtze River, and on land there is the great mountain range of Ulsan separating the two countries, and Wu's naval divisions are bullish, so they are not afraid of the threat of Chu.
The king of Chen is quite conservative, this landlocked country is sadder than Wu, the country is surrounded by powerful countries, which do not dare to offend, the king of Chen is Mr. Good and Mr. Good fame Daqin is quite famous, but because of the Chen country to maintain friendship with the strong neighbors, the country is getting weaker and weaker countries can be in the circle of the strong dragons and tigers to be able to be at peace.
Because the King of Tang sent assassins to assassinate Zheng Yuming and Zhao Xuan, Wu and Zhao allied to attack Tang in July, Chen first expressed support for the border of Wu and Chen are mostly hills, there is no big road, only small roads can be traveled, the small roads are traveled by merchants and traders to go out. The two countries have set up passes at the trails, each with a small number of soldiers stationed there, which is more like a border tax station than a border guard. So far, Wu-Chen relations are good.
Of the three western powers Chu and Chen are unlikely to turn against Wu, and only Zhao, a nominal ally, is a threat to Wu.
In the north, Qi, Lu and Yan formed an iron triangle, and the iron triangle then pulled together Zhao to deal with Wu, even if Wu was stronger than the four countries, after a fight, Wu was victorious, but also inevitably bruised and battered.
In order not to leave Wu in isolation, Zheng Yuming was informed of the Qilu alliance, immediately to the surrounding vassal states and Qin Tianzi sent a friendly mission, in which the State of Zhao is Zheng Yuming spared no effort to pull together the object, in addition to the original and Zhao Xuan Weishan agreed things, Zheng Yuming also unconditional assistance in the 10,000 stones of grain and a large number of cloth and silk, aid handwriting of the huge, even Chu Chaohui look at it all heartache.
"Zhao Xuan is just ambitious, not as insatiable as the King of Tang, we did a little too eagerly to monopolize Tang, not to take advantage of Zhao's domestic trauma to show performance, provoking Zhao to alliance with Qi Lu Yan would be bad, Yan and Zhao are in-laws." Zheng Yuming put down his pen and explained to Chu Chao Hui.
"Hmph! I had a feeling that this Zhao Xuan kid had a ghost in his heart, to sow discord between us!" Chu Chao Hui was even more spaced out towards Zhao Xuan since he knew about the words he said to Zheng Yuming before Zhao Xuan Dacheng left.
"Chaohui, besides our side people, who knows that you and I are not divided?" Zheng Yuming's eyes are tender, he came close and kissed Chu Chao Hui's lips, using practical actions to pacify this jealous person.
Zheng Yuming moves to please Chu Chao Hui, who wraps his arms around Zheng Yuming to deepen the kiss.
Four-wheeled carriage smooth exercise, driving the driver does not know the carriage is staged in a number of erotic, the driver was not far away from the song attraction, that is the young men and women farming farming leisure singing songs, the lyrics of the song simple bold loud and clear, the car driver listening to the lyrics to hear the face of the heat, even if the autumn wind is cool, but also can't let his face temperature down.
"Mountain to mountain come, cliff to cliff!
Sister to brother come, Lang to Lang!
Flowers need to be picked by bees, sister brother Lang Lang love!
Heaven is the quilt and the earth is the bed. You and I will walk in joy."
Zheng Yuming closed his eyes and leaned tightly on Chu Chao Hui's shoulder,, the words hot song, the two of them at the same time in Chu Chao Hui's palm release.
Chu Chao Hui had satisfaction on his face, and while cleaning up the mess, he laughed lowly: "Yuming, one day we'll try heaven and earth intercourse in the wild!"
Zheng Yuming face flushing has not yet receded, heard Chu Chao Hui's suggestion, and then listen carefully from the car window into the love song, can not help but slightly side head, will be the car window curtains pulled open to look out.
"People here are simple and direct, hardworking and grateful." Zheng Yuming saw the people working hard in the fields, even though the labor was very hard, when they stopped to take a nap, their faces were satisfied and their eyes were full of yearning.
Since the implementation of the Wu countryside households to share the field policy, the people's enthusiasm for the land to Zheng Yuming surprised, people in addition to eating and sleeping, all the energy will be invested in the fields between. At this time there is no chemical fertilizer, all rely on artificial fertilizer long field force, crop pest control, although there is a vinegar solution can be extinguished most of the pests, compared to the latter part of the pesticide effect is poor. However, under these planting conditions, Wu farmers farming a season of rice can be harvested about six hundred pounds, which compared to the original harvest of a season of one hundred pounds of corn, single mu mu yield multiplier is amazing. Most of the regions in Wu had three consecutive years of good harvests, and grain silos all over the country were filled with grain.
Zheng Yuming generous aid to Zhao food are three years ago the old grain, do not deal with these old grain, granaries around the grain silos will have to start building granaries again. Because the government storage food is too much, Zheng Yuming this June had considered to open the wine ban, now subsidizing the Tang land and aid to Zhao, need to consume one-third of the grain in the granary, wine ban will not be considered, Wu wine merchants have to be disappointed for a few more years.
Looking out of the car window people and things, listening to young men and women passionate and unabashedly love songs, Zheng Yuming did not go back to the approval of the official documents, he and Chu Chaohui has been embracing each other to the county of the East China Sea.
The East China Sea county magistrate called Han Shi, is the first promotion examination first prize. Han Shi comes from a big family, advocating the rule of law, the East China Sea is the rule of law in the strict implementation of the State of Wu.
Han real economic development is not as capable as Huo Sihua, but the East China Sea coast is important to salt farms, agriculture and industry and commerce is inferior to the East China Sea coast did not let the depression. Salt farm scale is huge, salt production is amazing, the factory price is low, attracted countless merchants to this place wholesale, merchants gathered, led to the development of transportation, labor, services and other industries, the East China Sea coast of the three years to change is also amazing.
After receiving the notification that King Sheng of Wu and the two prime ministers were coming to inspect the county, Han Shi took local officials and Guo Si, the head of the local garrison, outside the county to greet them early in the morning.
Guo's family and the director of commerce and industry Chen Mengshuo Chen's family, Gong Ziguang uncle Wei's family, is the three big families of Ulsan, these three big families iron heart with Zheng Yuming tied together, Guo's family Guo Si Ulsan Xiaodaokou battle, the northern expedition Ri Ji two battles in the big achievements, Zheng Yuming rewarded for his merits, Guo Si was awarded the title of sergeant.
Chu Chao Hui is tired of Guo Si's constant pursuit of Zheng Yuming, and after eliminating Ripple Ji, Chu Chao Hui sends Guo Si to a military camp outside of Kang City, thus reducing Guo Si's chances of seeing Zheng Yuming.
Guo Si was Chu Chao Hui disguised exile, still obsessed, as long as the vacation will find an excuse to the Prime Minister's Office to see Zheng Yuming, causing Chu Chao Hui jealousy, will be sent out to the East China Sea coast as a garrison officer, the name of the promotion of wealth.
"Greetings, Great King and Lady!" Guo Si was familiar with Wu Wangsheng and his wife, and back then, when Xi Hou went from Weishan to the royal capital, it was Guo Si who escorted him all the way.
"General Guo," Wu Wangsheng had not yet had time to speak to Guo Si, after saluting Guo Si hurriedly ran to Zheng Yuming.
"Guo Si has finally met His Excellency." Guo Si reddened his eyes and stared in fascination at his beloved Kyauk, Guo Si hadn't seen Zheng Yuming for three years, which was a thousand days and nights.
"Eh, General Guo stationed in Salt County has worked hard." Zheng Yuming was stared at by Guo Si's fiery aggrieved gaze, making him feel both uncomfortable and guilty.
"I can't imagine that after three years of being stationed outside, there are no longer any officers in General Guo Si's eyes!" Chu Zhaohui's nose hummed heavily, he was the one who was Guo Si's direct officer.
Guo Si turned his head to see Chu Chao Hui, his eyes red, this time not aggrieved eyes red, but love rival eyes red.
"Last General, see the Great General!" As the saying goes, a big official is a big man, Guo Si reluctantly saluted Chu Chao Hui.
"As a soldier you have to obey orders, is General Guo dissatisfied with the garrison?" Chu Chao Hui's words implied a threat.
Guo Si look at Zheng Yuming, do not dare to say his thoughts in front of Chu Chao Hui, glanced at the side is accompanied by Wu Wangsheng couple Han Shi, Guo Si suddenly hate to answer: "Great General why will Guo Mou sent to an ugly person, causing the end of the eyes every day to suffer from the coated."
Guo Si's answer stunned Chu Chao Hui.
Han Shi has small eyes, thick lips, dark skin and a fat body. Getting along with ugly Han Shi is a torture for Guo Si, who has always loved beauty.
"General Guo, you must not judge a man by his appearance, a great man should be emphasized by his talent!" Zheng Yuming wanted to be happy when he recalled the first time he met Guo Si. Guo Si was on duty at the city gate of Da Cheng at that time, and people who entered the city with good looks were let in without paying the entry fee, and if they had a crooked face, the fee would be doubled, and for ugly people like Han Shi, Guo Si would drive away with a whip and not let them enter the city.
"Your Excellency, Guo Si is just talking." Being reprimanded by Zheng Yuming, Guo Si is not embarrassed to repent, getting reprimanded by a beauty is also a kind of enjoyment.
Next to Han Shi will Guo Si dislike his words heard clearly, Han Shi heart cold snort, he decided to Wang Ting asked Jia cooperation officials form, the first sign Guo Si name, so that Guo Si never leave the East China Sea coast, if they transfer, must think Guo Si also activities with the go.
Guo Si will be Han Shi heavy offense, incurred Han Shi to charcoal his eyes for the rest of his life still do not know. Zheng Yuming stayed in the East China Sea time, Guo Si is happy, he borrowed to be responsible for the security of Wu Wangsheng and the Prime Minister, has been close to the side of the protection of Zheng Yuming, so that Guo Si is strange, Chu Chaohui surprisingly did not make things difficult to support him to leave, but instead smiled with compassionate eyes to measure. Han Shi has already implicitly expressed to Chu Chao Hui, hope and Guo Si place long-term cooperation will.
Guo Si happy time to maintain two days, Zheng Yuming the East China Sea coast to finish official business, the brigade by the river boat back to the high Massachusetts Land Ferry.
It takes only a day and a night to travel by boat from the shore of the East China Sea to the ferry port of Takamachi outside Kangseong.
Boats exercise the inner river, the wind and waves are much smaller than the sea, the boat is smoother than in the sea. Queen Tian didn't get seasick at sea, but she threw up all over the smooth inner river.
After checking the pulse of Queen Tian, Jiang Gui, the accompanying doctor, announced the good news that the whole Wu kingdom was rejoicing, Queen Tian was already a month and a half pregnant, and there would be an heir to the throne of Wu.
