In the 19th year of Longzheng, August 23.

Today is the day for the King of Xing Tian for thousands of years.

Xing Tian dances with his family, and his strong ambitions are always there...

In the Wuwei camp, carriages and horses were circulating.

Countless materials were transported in and out like flowing water.

The corvee workers who came from all over the Qin Dynasty were also in a hurry and looked bitter.

This year is not a good year.

Disasters were caused everywhere. Although the court was wise, it brought many ships of food from foreign countries and foreign countries to relieve the famine in the south of the Yangtze River.

But most people can only survive.

The flood is ruthless and displacement is a foregone conclusion.

And wars broke out again in the Western Regions, and the war was ignited, and the already difficult people increased another layer of burden.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a Liaodong salary, and now there is a Western Region salary.

Many educated masters are secretly rumoring that the court is now following the footsteps of the past and may not be a few years old.

Some people even said that today's son is the one who is going to follow the path of Grandpa Chongzhen.

There is a coal mountain on the back mountain of the Forbidden City to the east, and it is said that there is a coal mountain behind the imperial city of Shenjing Daming Palace, which was prepared for today's son...

However, the villagers felt that it was not much.

The Liaodong salary of the former Ming Dynasty plundered the foundation of the poor and poor people, squeezing their bones and forcing them to eat each other, but they did not dare to touch the purses of the scholars.

But now the tyrants who are cursing privately by scholars all day long, although they also receive war pay, they are based on the amount of land, not according to the mouth of the head.

In this way, tenants without land or people with a small amount of land do not need to pay much money at all, while those landlords and squires who have broad land and wide houses need to pay more money.

Although labor service is still based on the rank of the people, as long as the tax is not forced to pay, the people will sell their last bit of living food, and instead will issue relief food, so that the people can survive.

There is always a way out, isn’t this different from the previous morning?

The civilians are actually quite grateful to the current emperor. Without the few life-saving food sent by the imperial court, I wonder how many people will starve to death!

We should collect more money from the squire and the men. If they don’t have so much money, who will they collect?

Seeing the noble and never working but rich gentry and men were hurt by the cutting of their flesh, the villagers not only became more awe of the court, but also felt much more relieved.

Your Majesty is indeed wise!

When we meet this wise king, now the civilians only hope that the war in the Western Regions will end soon.

They didn't feel that the heat in the Western Regions was unbearable and they couldn't bear the hardships.

What's the point of suffering if you can survive in such a disaster year?

They just heard in the camp that after the Western Regions War ended and the imperial court took back the Western Regions, they would have to trick countless people to come here to immigrate and guard the border.

Each person is divided into twenty acres of land according to the population, and they also rent grain, plow oxen, and land.

Helping to get the house, you can borrow another year of food to spend this year.

Most of these civilians came from Jiangnan and Qilu. A flood caused their land to be submerged. In order to survive, most of them sold their land at a low price to local gentry at the price of chicken feathers.

Today, they are all proletarians.

Rather than being displaced and sold to the gentry and the gentry as slaves, it is better to come to the Western Regions to make a breakthrough, which is always a way out.

If they had been put a year ago, they would definitely not have made such a choice.

Because they did not believe that the court would be so kind, they rented grain for free, rented oxen and field utensils, and borrowed grain for one year.

But this year is different, it's really different.

When have you ever seen such a kind-hearted official institution?

Today, the son is wise!

The civilians wanted to immigrate to the Western Regions, but firstly they didn’t want to be slaves to others. Secondly, they saw the Western Regions in person. They didn’t feel as terrifying and desolate as those scholars said, and there were people.

Third, we will do our best to repay you with kindness!

Now, I just hope to win a big victory earlier. If they can hurry up, they will not go back to the pass, and take the land and plant the winter grain first.

By May and June next year, you will be able to collect a wave of food.

After planting grain, you will get a good house again.

I heard that winter in the Western Regions can make people feel cold.

It’s not OK to not afford to be stricter in the house.

But all these plans require a great victory in the Western Regions.

But I don’t know how long this battle will take.

The civilians hope that the army will win soon, but one day they will be more than they hope, that is, the head of the camp, Suo Wenchang.

Suo Wenchang was originally a Sima in the army, a think tank in Qinliang and a counselor of military affairs.

But this time, Qin Liang did not bring him by his side.

Because during the last war in the Western Regions, Suo Wenchang was seriously injured and fell into the root of his illness.

Although the life has been saved by famous doctors and has eliminated the worries of life, they still suffer from the climate change.

The weather in the Western Regions was changing, unlike Wuwei's drought and rainy little, so Qin Liang let him stay in the base camp.

Furthermore, Suo Wenchang was the most trustworthy person in Qin Liang, and keeping him in the camp was also a trust.

The three heroes in the early Han Dynasty were led by Xiao He.

What Suo Wenchang is doing now is Xiao He's job.

This job is really hard to do!

Otherwise, Xiao He, who had no significant military achievements in the early Han Dynasty, would not be ranked above Zhang Liang and Han Xin.

He almost sent three notes to the east a day, urging grain, urging armies, urging war horses, and urging military flags and curtains to get weeds...

He urged everything needed by the army.

Nowadays, the bigwigs of the imperial court's Ministry of War, Ministry of Revenue, and even the Military Machinery Pavilion and the cabinet are tired of seeing his memorials.

As later generations said, a cannon fired, gold will be ten thousand taels.

In this era, it is also applicable.

War has always been a giant beast with a bottomless pit.

The Western Regions had experienced a great war a few years ago, and most of the inventory in the Ministry of War arsenal was consumed.

In addition to this year's major disaster and insufficient supply, how can there be so much material for the northwest to open?

Therefore, the officials in the court were extremely fed by Suo Wenchang's "insatiable" feeling.

It’s okay. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. No matter how tired they are, they can’t stretch their hands, and they can’t affect Suo Wenchang.

But even local officials in the northwest now see Suo Wenchang as if they are looking at the plague god.

Because when the court's supply was insufficient or not in time, Suo Wenchang stretched his hand to the northwest areas and scraped the ground...

In any case, we must always ensure the supply of food and grass during the Western Regions War.

Although I barely did it now, I was in a very nervous time.

The northwest is barren and not rich, and there is no need to find much material.

It was only less than two months later. Suo Wenchang has become more than ten years older, and his forehead has become much darker and his temples are gray.

Difficult, difficult, difficult!

I only hope for a great victory in the Western Regions as soon as possible, but...

"Huh, what is that?"

Standing on the high ground in front of the camp gate, Suo Wenchang was sighing in his heart and suddenly felt something and turned to look west.

But I saw a few black dots from afar and approached quickly.

As you get closer, So Wenchang's eyes suddenly widened!

Several war horses rushed over, and the horse knight was disheveled because of the bumpy horses, and they looked a little embarrassed.

Plus the "shocked" face...

Suo Wenchang felt that his eyes were dark and his thin body shook.

However, he is extraordinary and has experienced countless storms.

After biting the tip of his tongue, he forced himself to calm down, he staggered to meet him.

He wanted to see what shocking news this Red Peel Messenger brought!

However, before Suo Wenchang took two steps forward, he heard the roar of the Hongling Messenger from Qujing Gate, Xicheng, Wuwei:

"A great victory in the Western Regions! Killing 100,000 in formation!"

"Thousands of miles of Western Regions, I will return to Qin today!!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"
