The moonlight is like water, streaming in from the window, soft and quiet.
Qin Huaidao continued to write at his desk under the light of a red candle, and was about to leave tomorrow. However, there were so many things going on in Loulan and the three cities of Qitun. He just abandoned Xue Rengui so directly. Luo Tong and Su Dingfang finally had no idea what Qin Huaidao planned to do in the future.
Write a five-year plan.
The plan is divided into four parts. The first one is agriculture. The problem of food must be solved, otherwise the people will be unstable. The three cities are built on the Qiemo River. The land is relatively fertile and there is no shortage of water. You can open up wasteland to plant wheat and try rice.
species, but they need to be introduced from Chang'an and slowly cultivate varieties that adapt to the local climate. Next is animal husbandry. Animal husbandry requires a lot of pasture, which means that cultivation and forest protection are needed. Then there are fruits, especially red dates. If Qiang dates are produced in later generations,
As the name suggests, jujube trees are also a type of forest protector.
Then there is transportation. It is planned to build a cement road along the Qiemo River to connect the three cities, and then build a road from Qitun to the sandbank. In the future, both trade and troop deployment will be very fast. Anyway, there is no shortage of slaves, and if there are not enough, you can still catch them.
In terms of business, it is simple. Once the road is opened, you can go directly to and from Chang'an.
Finally, there is the military, how to conquer the major tribes within hundreds of miles, how to train and manage the troops, how to be promoted, when to launch wars, etc., are all written in great detail.
Behind him, He'er was making clothes and occasionally glanced at Qin Huaidao who was writing, quiet and content.
Time is slipping away quietly.
I don’t know how long it took, Qin Huaidao stood up, stretched, looked at a thick stack of paper, smiled with satisfaction, and finally finished. Seeing that He’er was still awake, he hurried up and said apologetically: “It’s very late.
, go to sleep."
"Well, young master, let's have another child, shall we? I want to give you a son who will be as wise and mighty as you in the future, and become a great hero who can stand up to the heaven and earth." He'er smiled, with a shy look on his face, but his eyes were full of longing.
.
Qin Huaidao couldn't bear to refuse and held He'er in his arms.
The red tent swayed and the candlelight glowed.
…
Early the next morning, Qin Huaidao woke up, refreshed, glanced at He'er who was still sleeping next to him, couldn't bear to disturb him, got up gently, and went out.
"Uncle!" Luo Wu ran up from not far away.
"You take the guard battalion and stay behind to protect He'er. Don't disturb him." Qin Huaidao warned and hurried forward.
Not long after, Qin Huaidao came to the palace hall and asked people to call Li Derjian, Xue Rengui and others. He handed the written content to them and solemnly warned: "Li Derjian, leave the road construction matter to your staff, and the three cities will cooperate."
, I will mobilize people and cement to assist after I arrive in Chang'an. The project is huge, but it must be repaired within half a year."
"Promise to complete the task." Li Derjian solemnly promised.
"Qiemo City is handed over to you. It's written in the instructions on how to do it. If you have any uncertainties, you can ask the Intelligence Department to send a message. Is there any problem?" Qin Huaidao said and looked at Xue Rengui.
"No problem, this was found last night." Xue Rengui quickly agreed and handed over some letters.
Qin Huaidao took it and took a look. It was a correspondence between King Qiemo and the Li family of Zhao County. It mentioned the kidnapping transaction. The evidence was conclusive. He put the letter away and looked at Luo Ying: "I sent an order to select strong war horses, one person and two horses, and then
Find a carriage and set off after breakfast to return to Chang'an."
At this time, Li Jingren hurried in: "Sister-in-law, the supplies were delivered last night, what do you think we should do with them?"
"Leave it to Brother Xue."
Qin Huaidao said and looked at Xue Rengui: "Use my method to train an army, but it can only be from the Tang Dynasty. They will be responsible for infiltration, reconnaissance, assassination, beheading and other special operations. In addition, let Luo Tong and Su Dingfang also send people to receive training.
, one thousand each, it is called a special force, directly under the commander of the army, and the serial crossbows are assigned to these three thousand people."
"No problem, I will train myself." Xue Rengui agreed.
"You stay, the Intelligence Department will seize the time to cultivate talents, and let me infiltrate the major Turkic tribes. I will know about any troubles and share them with the three army commanders and the staff. In addition, last time I went to Xizhou, I discovered that Xizhou
There is a lot of saltpeter produced in the state. I want to find a way to build a mine. The best way is to purchase it secretly. I arrange a caravan to transport part of it to Chang'an and part of it to Qitun for storage, waiting for processing." Qin Huaidao looked at Li Jingren, this guy's father was a famous general, and he had been there since childhood.
It's easy to deal with intelligence matters.
Li Jingren was eager to stay and start a career, so he agreed wholeheartedly.
The few people talked for a while, Qin Huaidao left and returned to the backyard, just when He'er got up.
After breakfast, the special operations group and the Guards Battalion protected Qin Huaidao and left quietly.
He'er was sitting in the carriage, surrounded by piles of clothes made during this period. She was extremely anxious thinking that she would see her daughter soon.
Beside the carriage, Qin Huaidao rode slowly with a white-hoofed crow guard,
The carriage rumbled and rolled forward.
…
Qinjiazhuang Academy.
In a small courtyard, Li Daozong was a little surprised when he saw Li Jing and Fang Xuanling coming hand in hand, and asked: "You two adults are rare guests, don't you come to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing?"
"I have met the King of Jiangxia." Li Jing and Fang Xuanling bowed and saluted.
Li Daozong returned the gift and made an invitation. The three of them sat around. Li Daozong skillfully boiled water and made tea. He said: "Since I learned the way of making tea from Huai Dao, I no longer drink the same tea as before. This time I
The tea is light, sweet and calming, and is quite similar to the Confucian three ways of self-examination."
"You, a military general, why are you talking to me about Confucianism?" Fang Xuanling said angrily.
"I'm not angry at all, so I should drink some tea." Li Daozong said with a smile, but he didn't ask the two of them why they came.
Li Jing couldn't stand it anymore and said bluntly: "Okay, we are all old friends for many years. We don't know each other yet. Let's be honest. The Holy Emperor is seriously ill and the court is a little unstable. We came here to ask you a question, but
Is there any news about Qin Huaidao? Don’t say you don’t know.”
"I really don't know." Li Daozong refused.
"This is meaningless. You are Huai Dao's father-in-law, and we regard Huai Dao as our nephew. After all, we are all our own people, so why hide him?"
Li Daozong chuckled and did not answer.
"Can't you trust us?" Li Jing frowned and asked.
"That's not true, and I really don't know." Li Daozong refused again.
Fang Xuanling said with some dissatisfaction: "I think you don't want to participate too much and teach with peace of mind, because you are afraid that Huai Dao has other ideas, right? The court is not stable, and the Holy Father wants to see Huai Dao more than once. Although you are idle at home, you are still at home.
You are from the royal family, can you really bear to watch the court get into trouble?"
"Haha." Li Daozong said calmly, but with a bit of coldness.
What about the royal family? Since ancient times, the emperor has been ruthless, fighting for the family, making great achievements, and finally being idle at home, and being jealous. It's okay to not want such a royal family.
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling saw Li Daozong's alienation and indifference. They sighed helplessly and exchanged glances. Li Jing said: "This matter is important. Please ask your daughter to see if there is any news."
It is inappropriate for two elders to rush to meet a married woman. Since they are not really blood relatives, they should avoid it to avoid gossip.
Seeing that Li Daozong was unmoved, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to add fuel to the fire: "You should know the situation in the court. Many people now think that Huai Dao is gone and are targeting the Qin family village. They want to take advantage of the fact that the emperor is seriously ill and the king of Jin is overseeing the country.
To cause trouble, if you know where Huai Dao is or even coming back soon, then who would dare to jump?"
"That's right, Your Majesty is anxious to summon Huai Dao. I'm afraid he also has funeral considerations. This is related to the future of the court and the future of Qinjiazhuang. We must pay attention to it." Li Jing also added fuel to the fire.
Li Daozong frowned and pondered, how could the court not care about it, but it had already bet on Qin Huaidao, so nothing could happen to the Qin family village.
The room suddenly fell silent.
After a while, Li Daozong said: "We set off today and expect to arrive in Chang'an in about twenty days. Don't ask about anything else. If you ask, you won't know."
"Thank you, King Jiangxia, for informing me!"
Li Jing and Fang Xuanling were overjoyed, stood up, and bowed solemnly.
Immediately, the two left together.
After walking out of the academy, the two got into their respective carriages and left quickly.
After entering Chang'an City, two carriages stopped side by side and opened the curtains almost at the same time. Li Jing said: "You go into the palace to see the saint. I will tell some old guys that the boy will come back. We also have to make some preparations."
,No matter what, this day cannot change."
"Okay, I'll invite them to come to my house tonight, and we'll discuss it later," Fang Xuanling agreed.
The two carriages separated and quickly merged into the bustling street.
