Chapter 60 Planning

Rivers are thick black lines, lakes are thin diagonal lines, settlements, villages and other places where people are active are all marked. In the notes, explain what the landmarks look like one by one.

For example, if you see a strange willow after walking for a moment, then you will also describe the strange willow's magic.

For some "crocodile people", they are still unable to express themselves as clearly as Shadong, and they cannot understand descriptions that are too vague.

Therefore, Shadong's little technique is quite useful for "crocodile people" at this stage.

And there is another item in the remarks that is quite exciting, that is, Sha Dong made a preliminary record of the fresh water and food consumption every ten miles after walking with heavy weight.

Although only the total amount is recorded, and it is not accurate to the individual, the error is actually not large if it is averaged.

"Shadong is indeed a man of great talent. He was born in the wrong child."

Even when I was working as a foreman, I saw many apprentices, plasterers, and workers who were unable to continue their studies due to various reasons. But Shadong's natural qualifications are still quite eye-catching.

With Shadong's talent, if he were to change his family, let alone a prince or grandson, it would be an ordinary noble family, even if he was a concubine, he would still be able to make a mark.

"Skin."

"exist."

"Have a day's rest and return the next day."

"yes."

"Your reward will be distributed after all the 'Crocodile Men' return to Baisha."

"Thank you Shou Li!"

When Shapi heard this, he was overjoyed and quickly kowtowed.

The "Crocodile Men" were all selected through a series of "checkpoints". When Sha Dong took them on a secret mission, the "Crocodile Men" members all knew that this mission could not be disclosed to anyone.

So when Shapi returned to Baisha, he only said that he was coming back from "Nansha" and wanted to report to Shou Li.

"Go down."

"Resign."

After Shapi left, Li Jie planned to re-draw a route from Yangkou to Dazun north based on the map sent back by Shadong.

If you want to steal Chicken Yancheng, it is actually best to take the sea route, but now Mayor Li has no capital to take risks. What's more, the humidity at sea is too high, and if you are not careful, your journey will be in vain.

"Calculating the time, it's almost the autumn harvest in Yancheng."

Lord Yiyang did not hide it from anyone when he opened up wasteland in Huaixia. After all, in name, he had to feed a thousand "Wu Jia" and two thousand "Jian Brigade", and it was quite difficult to rely solely on supplies from Gusu. Now Huaiyi

, no better than our ancestors, it can be said to be quite poor.

Nomadic farming and nomadic herding are the norm. The Huai River is not that gentle. When the flood season comes, the fields on both sides will be completely destroyed.

In addition to suppressing the Huaiyi rebellion, Gongzi Xuan's main task every year was to recruit Huaiyi men and build the Huaihe River embankment.

For two generations of Wu kings, every time they went north for military exercises and showed off their power near the state of Lu, the Huaihe River had to be stable.

The person who maintains the stability of the Huaihe River is Gongzi Xuan.

The benefit of water conservancy projects, in addition to disaster prevention, is irrigation.

After the efforts of several generations of Wu kings, cities on both sides of the Huaihe River that were directly under the State of Wu had good arable land.

And because of the enrichment of cultivated land, Huaiyi was further weakened, and even now, Huaiyi has initially entered the ruling system of Wu State. For example, when Lord Yiyang wanted to do a project, a large part of the people were recruited from Huaiyi.

Rather than city dwellers from Yancheng.

In Huaiyi of the Wu State, the "King's Ming" is for counting, which is much more effective than the "King's Ming" of Xu State, the former boss of Huaiyi.

Even now, the young master has visited Qilu, and the "boy" serving beside him has the blood of the "Bangguo" in Huaishang.

Therefore, if it were not restricted by his status, with Gong Zixuan's strength, it would not be difficult at all to open up a large amount of farmland for his own use.

But after all, the Huaiyi people in the Wu Kingdom all have their co-lord Wu King, not Yi Yangjun Gongzi Xuan.

Lord Yiyang was guarding Yancheng, and if he wanted to open up wasteland to collect grain, he could only do it secretly, and there were very few things that could be done openly.

Li Jie wanted to kill Young Master Xuan this time, not only because of his "undying" hatred, but also because compared to trading grain from Yunting and Furong, the cost of robbery was lower.

What's more, just like the population, food, and wealth of Luyi, the food hidden by Gongzi Xuan in Yancheng cannot be seen in the light and can only be stolen secretly.

If you start this wave quickly and accurately, you can at least grab a wave of supplies for winter and spring plowing.

With enough food, the noisy trash among the "Baisha" could be killed by anyone Li Jie wanted to, ensuring that there would be no objections within their group.

Baisha Village has developed, and expansion is foreseeable.

Before the civil strife in Wu became public and intense, Township Chief Li only wanted to do three things: grab money, food, and women.

"Shou Li!"

Shang Wuji trotted over from outside, came in panting and said to Li Jie, "The rumors have been established, Jiba and Ying Jian are safe and sound!"

"Oh? What did the Yancheng County Magistrate say?"

"I have been ordered to be grounded by the king!"

"Grounded? Hahahaha..."

Hearing this news, Mayor Li was immediately overjoyed. Sure enough, no matter whether it is true or not, if it involves the core interests of the boss, no matter whether it is true or not, he will be hugged.

Besides, this is not false in the first place.

Bastard Young Master Xuan, he is indeed trying to grow bigger secretly.

How dare you hide Bai Lu privately? Even if you say that you intend to talk about your relationship with Bai Lu and that you want Bai Lu to be more docile when he comes to Gusu, tell King Wu to listen.

King Wu must believe it.

Moreover, the previously invincible Young Master Yin actually suffered continuous setbacks from the "Nanchao clan", which originally irritated King Wu.

If there were no internal ghosts to contact the foreign enemies, how could Young Master Yin lose his troops to the rubbish "Nanchao Clan"? How many years and how much money would it take to supply hundreds of "Wu Jia"?

This is all King Wu’s money!

But now he doesn't know who is stealing his money. If King Wu didn't have anger in his heart, he would have died long ago.

"Young Master Xuan, this old turtle, dares to steal a woman from me and is seeking your own death!"

"..."

My uncle looked aggrieved and felt quite uncomfortable.

"That's it." Mayor Li suddenly remembered something and turned to look at his uncle, "Wuji, keep an eye on Gusu. As long as the king sends an envoy to Yancheng... no, as long as he goes to Luyi, report to me immediately!"

"yes!"

Shang Wuji bowed slightly. He didn't know the details of Li Jie's arrangement, but he knew that Li Jie planned to give Young Master Xuan a hard blow.

After leaving the camp, Shang Wuji heard that Shapi had returned from "Nansha". Shang Wuji thought of something, so he went to see Shapi, and then asked Shapi: "Pi, is it going well in 'Nansha'?"

"Going back to Lord Shang, the captain has got several children, ten buffaloes, and two hundred dan of cattails."

"Oh? That's good. It seems that the trip to 'Nansha' was quite fruitful."

After chatting with Sha Pi for a few words, Shang Wuji didn't ask anything. He also felt strange in his heart: Pi is a "crocodile man", how could he start a business as a merchant? Could there be some profound meaning in Shou Li's move?

Seeing Shang Wuji muttering as he walked away, Shapi felt quite nervous, fearing that he would leave the important task entrusted to them by Shou Li to Tulu.

Fortunately, everything seemed to be stable, and Shapi breathed a sigh of relief.
