Although the Makino tidal flat has not yet been completely conquered, Chentian has regarded it as his own territory and has made development plans early.
For no other reason than that, the Changhe River flows southward and merges with Zishui here, and it is close to Xieyue Valley. To the north is Keyaguan, the gateway to Yongtai City. He also wants to firmly guard the Muye tidal flat.
Now there is a granite dock, two deep-water docks, and a hundred acres of workshops, but Chentian still thinks it is not enough.
His first order was to dig swamps and expand the scale of the Guigen Terracotta Warriors Workshop, making sure to achieve the goal of producing 5,000 bottles per day.
Anyway, they just admitted 70,000 refugees a few days ago, so they must have enough manpower to make up for the battle damage to the Guigen Terracotta Warriors, and at the same time, they can also provide jobs for a group of people.
The second is the order to open a horse farm. The Makino beach is very large and has abundant water and grass. It can be used to cultivate a large number of good horses and train cavalry.
certainly.
The high-quality black soil on the periphery is still opened as farmland for growing alfalfa.
This kind of grass has high nutritional value and good yield. When combined with Hekunmen's jade dew liquid, it can even achieve three harvests in half a year.
Even in the winter, Chentian does not have to worry about the racecourse competing with the people for food, affecting internal stability.
The confidentiality level of these two orders was not high. He intended to let Gusu City and Pingmuguan witness it with their own eyes so that they could gain insight into the headquarters' determination to prepare for a long-term siege.
After making the new arrangements, Chen Tian was just about to pick up Yang Niang and rest for a while when there was a sudden clear knock on the door outside the room. It was Chi Zhu and Lan Lan who came to deliver food.
Breakfast is light.
A plate of day lily stir-fried in vegetable oil, half a bowl of egg custard, two sheets of thin-noodle steamed sweet-scented osmanthus cake, three small crucian carp stuck in a pot, and some mung bean and japonica rice porridge.
"Are you two cooking?" Chen Tian has never paid much attention to food. When the war was tense, he would eat and drink together with his soldiers.
However, today I saw red marks on the sweet-scented osmanthus steamed pastry, which was exquisite and very girlish in the shape of a bunny. The two women must have been careful.
"In the end, I will just burn the stove, leaving my sister busy." Chizhu particularly likes the color red, and the tassels on his hair hang down to his ears, clustering like a ball of flames.
Compared with her, Lan Lan was obviously much more elegant. Her azure cross-neck skirt looked like a watercolor painting of an empty mountain after rain. She covered her mouth and giggled: "Actually, I taught my sister how to cook the stove. She doesn't even know how to do it."
Use tongs."
"Only you can do it." Chizhu glared at Lan Lan, filled half a bowl of mung bean and rice porridge and handed it to Chen Tian. He also took out a large pile of documents from the food box, "This is the work briefing of Pang Xingyun, the counselor of the shogunate."
Chen Tian instantly felt that the day lily he was chewing in his mouth was no longer fragrant. He smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that I can't go downstairs today."
Chizhu just pretended not to hear and said to herself: "I will continue to practice, so I'll leave first." After saying that, she pulled Lan Lan and walked out without looking back.
As a result, Chen Tian snapped his fingers and the door closed tightly. He smiled and said: "I'm cooking it myself, but I don't want to taste it myself. Miss Lan Lan, please accompany me to eat some steamed sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
Lan Lan had always been well-behaved and would do whatever Chen Tian said. When the two armies were fighting, she held up her shield tightly in front of him without any complaints.
"Okay, okay." She broke away from Chizhu's right hand, ignored her repeated blinks, and sat directly in Chentian to deal with the case.
Now it was Chizhu's turn to smile bitterly, and he resignedly picked up the document and read it word for word to Chen Tian.
There is a lot of content, but only three or four items are involved. Most of them are about Pang Xingyun leading the shogunate to carry out post-war cleanup work.
More than 50,000 bottles of Guigen warriors have been used up, and are being replenished as quickly as possible. Secondly, a large number of soldiers were injured and killed, and they are in urgent need of compensation and resettlement.
The Yongtai Army was severely weakened and needed new recruits from the rear. Even training was conducted at Makino Wubao.
In fact, these things are not complicated at all and are easy to deal with, but there are too many oddities. Even if only one percent of the people are dissatisfied, but among the total population of Yongtai City of more than 800,000, it is still realistic.
Affected 80,000 people.
Therefore, handling military affairs, especially post-war reconstruction, is a great test of a counselor's talents.
Fortunately, Pang Xingyun had experienced three or four battles before and after, and his techniques had gradually become more mature, and he could make corresponding arrangements after half a day.
However, Chen Tian didn't trust others, but he didn't trust others when he hired him. He left the affairs to him with confidence, leaving him free to make strategic decisions from time to time. The rest of the details were all supplemented by the shogunate.
"Yongtai has double walls." Chen Tian sipped his porridge and rice and was very satisfied with Pang Xingyun's work. He praised, "He and Lian Zixin are the right and left hands."
Chizhu nodded, pulled out the last document, and found that it was signed by Pang Xingyun himself.
"Holy Lord, Counselor Pang said that Wang Xiuge, the young master of Linjiang City, was captured alive. I dare you to ask for advice."
"...He's not dead?" Chen Tian looked surprised.
Wang Xiuge is the personal guard commander of Yin Fei, the leader of the Dragon and Tiger Cavalry. He is also a partial general with very good combat prowess.
Yesterday, his performance on the battlefield was extremely brave. He led the charge and did not shy away from the edge at all.
But then he met Pang Xingyun and was shot through the abdomen with an arrow. Even if he only bled, he would have died. Why was he captured alive again now?
"Actually, it's almost like death." Chizhu closed the document and added, "Wang Xiuge's injuries were very serious and he was so breathless that Mr. Liu almost failed to stabilize his pulse several times."
"Whatever." Chen Tian didn't care too much, "Let Mr. Liu do his best. Life and death will depend on whether Wang Xiuge's life is strong enough."
He had no intention of winning over Linjiang City, because as long as the more than 700,000 Yin clan troops in Pingmuguan were eliminated, Luwu Mountain and the cities on both sides of the river would surely be defeated, so there was no need to go to great lengths to save Wang Xiuge.
.
certainly.
It would be great if Liu Wenhui's wonderful skills bring him back to life.
Since Wang Xiuge was captured alive, Linjiang City must have more concerns to facilitate its future recruitment.
What's more, he is also the husband of Hang Qingchen, the veteran of Xianyin Pavilion. If he is saved, Chen Tian will be doing a favor for Tong Ruoran.
"Well, the arrangements have been made as expected." Chizhu wrote down the approval, stamped it with the city lord's seal, and handed it over to Chen Tian for review.
However, Chen Tian didn't even look at it. He showed that he trusted her very much. He took the document and handed over the bowls and chopsticks, and asked her to sit down and eat.
Yang Niang was very tired after a night of tormenting with thunder and fire, so she fell asleep in her arms. But Lan Lan had a huge appetite, and she ate most of the dishes on the table.
"Mr. Liu has arrived at the Makino front line. Who else is accompanying him?" Chen Tian was confused.
Chizhu chewed the steamed cake and said: "Two or three elders from Hekun Sect, as well as a large number of disciples from Qusi Supervisor, as well as skilled craftsmen from Qianji Pavilion and Fenjin Villa."
"Actually, these people are here to build the Muye Wubao. They are considered official recruits, but Mr. Liu is entrusted by the Tong Sect Master to take care of the body of the god."

Chen Tian felt warm in his heart and joked: "I haven't met Mr. Liu yet, but Wang Xiuge beat me to it."
"The deity is in good health, why should we worry about this?" Chizhu smiled and suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Liu said that he wanted to present a magical weapon to the deity. See you at noon."
Divine weapon?
Medical master Liu Wenhui? Chentian's face was full of astonishment. It was hard to imagine the connection between the two, and he was curious in his heart.
