[I was delayed yesterday, sorry. There was another update before.]

Hangang's arrival in Old Fengzhou did not cause much trouble.[..com]

Whether from the perspective of integrating Hedong and Linfu, or from the perspective of solving the Fengzhou affairs as soon as possible, it was inevitable that he would move the head of the commander's mansion to the old Fengzhou.

However, it cannot be called the old Fengzhou now. The emperor issued an edict, the court changed the article, and the old Fengzhou was changed to the famous scenic spots. This is also a natural meaning. If this place was restored to its old name, it would be difficult to arrange the current Fengzhou, which was originally divided from the prefectures. Shengzhou is also an old one, and it is reasonable to restore the ancient name of this place.

In the afternoon, Hangang looked at the scenery above the city. The distant mountains and nearby waters were covered with a layer of fresh snow. It was white and there was actually no beautiful scenery.

But this is Hangang's habit. Whenever you go to a new place, you must first go up to the city to take a look, learn about the geography around the city, and take some notes to wait for it to be useful in the future.

The old Fengzhou, that is, Shengzhou, was not tall and steep, and it was just two feet tall. In line with the low city head, the walls were also very thin. Standing on the city head, Hangang estimated how much time it would take to break through the city, but the result was very worrying - even with the Xixia's siege level, it would not be too difficult, not to mention the Khitans.

Rebuilding Shengzhou City is an imminent matter. However, Hangang now has limited money and food, manpower, and time, and the amount of village defense projects to be dealt with is astonishingly large. The ingredients of three people have to make ten people, which is a difficult problem facing Hangang. But no matter what, the old Fengzhou is ranked first.

"According to the previous requirements of Longtu, the reconstruction of Shengzhou City, Zhefuzhou has given three strategies: upper, middle and lower..." Huang Shang said behind Han Gang.

"I've seen it just now." Han Gang said.

The three high, medium and low plans for Zhekexing. The high plans are built with the top-level border defense center standards. Hangang does not intend to use them. "The so-called best strategy is that too much money and grain is consumed, and the civil servants need it too much. In this way, the other cities should not be built. It can only be counted as future goals. Zhe Zundao [Zhekexing] is just used to make up the numbers. The budget for the money, grain and manpower that can be used is also given. The specific construction strategy can only be chosen from the two strategies of the middle and lower."

"What is the best thing for Longtu?" Huang Shang asked.

Han Gang turned around and said to Huang Shang: "Leave this matter to you. You can summon the future to discuss it together and report it to me after it is decided."

After Huang Shang was stunned for a moment, he was overjoyed. Han Gang handed over this task to him, which was equivalent to turning him from a servant around him to a precursor to a lieutenant with a real position. There was no reason for not being willing to do it. "Huang Shang understands!" He made up his mind to get the matter done.

When he heard Huang Shang's tone change when he agreed, Zhe Keshi smiled and was not jealous. Looking at the reconstruction of the old Fengzhou and even the entire Quyechuanzhai defense system, who was building the plan, he knew that this job was not his turn.

Hangang looked at the north covered with snow, and said after a while: "The Heishan Dangxiang expelled the Khitan to the south. This matter has been confirmed. The population to go south in the end is expected to be less than 20,000. The people are different, and there may even be Liao people involved. I have said before that the civil attack on the military guards should be the first priority to attack the heart, and teach these Heishan Dangxiang a lesson to turn to the Song Dynasty, but it seems that it is not enough now. How do you think the current situation should be dealt with?"

Han Gang asked for advice, Huang Shang had a new job, so he did not steal the limelight. Zhe Keshi replied: "There is a place in Shengzhou, which is because of the Song Dynasty's gains, but the Khitan's loss is not the root. For the Liao people, there is nothing to gain or nothing to lose. The military affairs are not resolved at the moment, which is caused by Xiao Shisan's selfishness. What can be used for use should also be his selfishness."

Han Gang nodded, the reason was right.

Just as Yelu Yixin's own interests are inconsistent with those of the Liao Kingdom, the interests of the Liao Kingdom are not consistent with those of Xiao Shisan's personal interests. This is a normal thing, and there is always a gap between personal interests and national interests.

For example, Han Gang could not be selfless in everything based on the interests of the Song Dynasty. However, Han Gang's biggest interest at present is to solve the current problems perfectly with his aides, so that his aides, that is, disciples of Qixue, can get tickets to enter the officialdom one after another. Therefore, they share the interests of the Song Dynasty.

Huang Shang said, "To use Xiao Shisan's selfishness, you must understand what he really needs and then respond. The official army took the lead in capturing Fengzhou, and Xiao Shisan lost face. The biggest hope was to save face, but he was worried that if the fight continued, he would lose more face."

Han Gang laughed: "It's not easy to be a caring person. It's okay to plot against Yelu Yixin and Xiao Shisan's selfishness. Isn't it too difficult to be considerate of their selfishness?"

"Longtu misunderstood!" Huang Shang said quickly, "How could he have the idea of ​​compromising the Liao people by following Longtu?!"

"No matter whether he is a Dangxiang or a Liao person, there is no need to tell him in detail. As long as there are suspicious things in the action, you can kill them all." Zhe Keshi was even more refreshing.

Huang Shang said: "If it were just a normal day, it wouldn't be necessary. But now, it's still the most convenient way."

"So that's it." Han Gang nodded. No matter how rough it is, it is simple and effective.

No matter what Xiao Shisan has, as long as he still has concerns and dare not tear his face, all the sent people were killed can only make him suffer.

Han Gang didn't take the threat from the Liao people very seriously, and at worst he could fight a war. Yelu Yixin had just stabilized the situation and could not rashly tear down the Chanyuan Alliance. Even if the fight started, the war would only be limited to Hedong. Relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers, Xiao Shisan suffered a hardship, Han Gang didn't feel that it was difficult.

But the Liao people were not the biggest problem. The biggest problem was how to maintain their rule over Shengzhou for a long time.

At this time, the city gate below became lively again. A horse team slowly arrived at Shengzhou City with food and grass. In terms of costumes, only 20% were escorted Song troops, and the rest were all Dangxiang people. Judging from the direction they came, they were transporting grain from Fuzhou.

The grain roads in Linzhou and Prefecture are not easy to walk. In order to maintain these two grain roads, there were more than 1,100 Black Mountain Dangxiang Jailu and 3,000 horses to which they belonged, forming more than 20 transport teams to run. These Dangxiang tribes were arranged in the wilderness south of Shengzhou and west of Linzhou, waiting for their families to bring back the food they had made for their lives.

Finally, the long journey ended, and the soldiers and the foreigners in the team seemed very relaxed and in a good mood. Looking from the top down, there seemed to be no big gap between the two sides, and there were a few words to say between them.

Zhe Keshi crossed the scepter and looked down at the group of transporters, "Seeing that they are in a good mood, the trip should be very smooth."

"I can bring more food and grass back now, and the smoother I bring it back, the more I will take it back." Huang Shang turned to look at Han Gang, "It is also the Longtu that uses it well for me to use the grain-making process in China."

"It's just fast, there is still so much food and grass to the warehouse." Han Gang shook his head.

The proportion of remuneration to the Dangxiang people is not fixed, but based on the consumption of transporting food and grass under normal conditions, the amount of time is determined, and the difference between the amount loaded when leaving is paid to the group of Montenegro Party members for transporting grain. How much they can save depends on their ability. The faster they go, the more they save, the more food they get. This method was often used to save fuel in later generations. But at this time, it was a variant similar to the grain that was taken into the middle.

"Using this incentive method, the speed of transportation is much faster. No tribe does not want to give their families. The tribe members bring more food for winter back, and they are as fast as possible when transporting food." Han Gang looked down at the transportation team passing the inspection at the city gate, passing through the city gate, and entering the city. "But if you check the account books, the cost of transportation will not decrease, and the loss in the middle is astonishingly large."

Zhe Keshi was not sure about Han Gang's meaning, and said tentatively: "...Hurry and Sheng, it's hard to achieve both things, right?"

Huang Shang said: "The best way is to increase the population and arable land of Shengzhou as soon as possible. Hedong Road is located in several military prefectures west of the Yellow River. It is sparsely populated, and the land has not been reclaimed and resources have not been developed. Naturally, there will be no fiscal and tax revenue. The imperial army stationed here, and military pay, food and grass must be transported from Hedong. The cost of the middle is huge, and sooner or later it will cause discussion. Only by becoming a tax place, not a burden from the court, can the villain stop the discussion."

Han Gang nodded, "Mian Zhong said it right." Huang Shang was just talking about it, but this was also the idea he had been instilling into Qi Science.

Although Shengzhou is in danger, one city is related to Hedong and the safety of the two roads of Yinxia. There are always short-sighted people or ulterior motives who criticize occupying Shengzhou as a waste of money. Just as they said that seizing Hehuang was a useless act that was useless to waste manpower, regardless of how important it is to occupy a strategic location to national security.

However, this group of people has a good status. To be clear, they are all important officials of the old party. They have a strong voice and weight and have many disciples. If you want to debate with them, you must be careful of being confused. Instead of arguing with them, it is better to build Fengzhou and Hexi prefectures, so you have enough fiscal and tax revenue to compensate the court's military expenditure and reply with facts.

In the past, Tuobian Hehuang had a consistent grain price in Weizhou. When he arrived at the Hehuang front, he had to pay ten times the freight. However, he later developed grain production in Gongzhou and Xizhou, as well as specialties such as cotton, cotton cloth, oil, salted fish. In addition, the Yongqin merchants formed a huge interest group. No one now said that Xihe Road was useless and was a great success.
