March [-] of that year.

On the bank of Huaping Lake in Guangling City, there is a Yanyu Pavilion.

Some things seem to be predestined.

The fourth princess Ning Chuchu, who was originally staying in Jade Capital City in Kyoto, learned that the Northern Desert Deserters were gathering troops to attack Jiuyin City. After she reported it to her father, the Taoist Emperor Zhaohua, But he didn’t see any action from his father!
This saddened her and disappointed her.

It happened that Zhongli Ruoshui was going to choose a son-in-law based on literature at Huaping Lake on March [-]rd.

So, she went to Guangling City.

First, I came here to relax and be far away from Kyoto, out of sight and out of mind.

Secondly, I don't understand why Zhongli Ruoshui would choose a son-in-law based on literature.

With Miss Zhongli's appearance and talent, and the power of Zhongli Mansion, she can choose any of the young heroes in Kyoto.

But she just did it like this.

So we went to Guangling City.

On that day I went to Yanyu Pavilion by Huaping Lake.

I met that person by chance.

Ning Chuchu lifted up her sleeves and wiped the tears from her face, her smile getting stronger.

"There is dust in the eyes and the world is narrow,

There is nothing in my heart but a bed as wide as my bed..."

"You have nothing on your mind. You could have lived a happy life in that tavern under the banyan tree!"

"but now……"

Ning Chuchu bit her lip, and her little daughter's attitude showed naturally, "You are going back to be the emperor, and you have endless things on your mind!"

"Will your bed still be wide?"

Zhiyuan on the side heard this and said, "Your Highness, I am thinking... Your Highness should go back early!"

"What?"

"Well... I heard from Tianshu that when he returned from Wu, he had four women with him!"

"If you come back late... I'm worried about his bed... I'm afraid it's not wide enough!"

Ning Chuchu was startled. Besides Zhongli Ruoshui and Sister Xiao, who else had he hooked up with?

She looked solemn and gritted her teeth:

"I am a weed and have no intention of competing for spring... I see you as a wild flower!"

"A flower that attracts bees and butterflies!"

"No, I really should go back earlier..."

"Zhiyuan, pass my order. After the team has finished repairing, we will leave and go get the fat sheep... and go back home!"

When Yuwen Gu led the Second Eagle to this small village, what he saw were the pale-faced herdsmen.

And...a pile of cattle and sheep bones.

There is still a little soup left in the pot.

The soup is cold.

The ashes in the stove are also cold.

He stood in front of the herdsmen with a riding crop in hand and asked with a gloomy face:
"Where...have they gone?"

"Going southwest, it's probably Nodu Ranch!"

"How long have you been walking?"

"About an hour."

Yuwen Gu looked up at the blue sky, turned around, mounted his horse, flicked the long whip in his hand, and made a loud "pop!" sound:
"Chasing this general...!"

On the vast grasslands of Nanxi Prefecture, eagles are hunting rats.

But ultimately failed to hunt.

When Yuwen Gu rushed to Yedu Ranch, what he saw was a messy scene!
Many people died on the ranch.

Of the war horses in the pasture... there isn't even a calf left!
There was no one left alive.

Where did this damn mouse go?
Ning Chuchu led more than [-] Ning Xiuzi girls and drove more than [-] horses, rushing towards Death Valley!

The road is dangerous.

But this road is the closest to Ningguo!
After passing through Death Valley, you will reach Youzhou in Ningguo.In Youzhou, there is a city called Yanjing!
……

……

The third day of July in the 25th year of Zhaohua.

Li Chenan and his party left Wuyaguan and came to the Yudan River Plain.

He came with Yan Jinong.

This made Yan Jinong quite confused, and also made Qiu Balou a little puzzled.

After arriving at Yudan River, Li Chenan got off the carriage. Yan Jinong came to Li Chenan's side. Qiu Balou took a look and walked over.

Li Chenan pointed to the abandoned fields on both sides of the river, "When the Yong Kingdom existed, the Yudan River Plain was the most important grain-producing land in the Yong Kingdom!"

"There are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile farmland here, but now only a thousand acres have been re-cultivated."

"What a waste...!"

Yan Jinong was stunned, thinking that I am just a general guarding the gates. Shouldn't you go to the Household Affairs Bureau in Kyoto to handle the farming matter?

"It's a waste, but there's no one!"

Yan Jinong was also very distressed and said: "This place is too close to the Wu Kingdom. After the destruction of Yong, there were many consequences..."

"For example, the bandits in Yong Country, or the rebels who intended to restore, have caused this place to remain turbulent. The people who originally lived here were either harassed by the bandits, or were captured and used as young men, and they were also Some took their families and ran away."

"Once you run away, you will never come back."

“These tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land were just abandoned.”

Li Chenan nodded, suddenly looked at Yan Jinong and said:
"I have an idea and would like to hear your opinion."

"Prince Regent, please speak!"

Li Chenan thought for a moment and said: "Wu and Ning have formed an alliance, Wuya Pass has opened and closed, and the Red Flame Army now numbers [-]..."

"I'm thinking that judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible for Wu and Ning to start fighting again in the short term."

"So, can we use these soldiers to reclaim these fields?"

Yan Jinong was shocked. Soldiers are soldiers and people are people. It seems inappropriate to treat soldiers as civilians.

But what Li Chenan said makes sense.

Wuya Pass was originally an extremely important military fortress, but now the relationship between the two countries has changed from hostility to friendship. Wuya Pass must still be defended, but it does not need to be guarded as strictly as before.

So withdrawing half of the [-] Red Flame Army to cultivate the fields seems to be the best way to solve the current problem of losing [-] acres of fertile land.

Qiu Balou, who was standing behind Li Chenan, had his eyes widened at this moment. He was even more shocked than Yan Jinong——

The regent came out of the Wangqing Tower and met Emperor Wu at the Xijian Tower. They decided on the alliance between the two countries and opened the Wuya Pass to trade between the two countries.

Marry Wu Qin, the fifth princess of Wu Kingdom, as his wife again!
As a result, the border between the two countries is no longer tense, and the role of the border army has been downplayed.

From soldiers to civilians, putting down the sword in hand and picking up a hoe, Ning Guo does not need to carry out large-scale immigration, and can turn these thousands of hectares of wasteland into fertile farmland on the spot...

This strategy is like a stroke of genius!

Yan Jinong nodded: "Then...half of the Red Flame Army was disarmed and returned to the field!"

"No!"

Li Chenan waved his hand, "My idea is to set up the Yudan River Construction Corps...farm when you are busy, and train troops when you are free!"

"After they retire, if they are willing to stay, they can be resettled on the spot and assigned fields to them so that they can marry and have children here."

"What do you think?"

This is a very groundbreaking strategy!

In this way, this fertile field will not only produce a large amount of food, but the soldiers who farm the fields will still have extremely strong combat effectiveness!
After retiring from the army, they allocated fields to them, which allowed the people on this land to take root and continue to prosper!

Yan Jinong was greatly impressed and bowed his hands: "My lord, I obey!"

He used the word "chen"!

That is why he is convinced of the emperor who is about to ascend the throne!
When Qiu Balou looked at the grassy plain again, he seemed to see the golden harvest scene of hundreds of miles of wind-swept rice waves.

He now knew that the regent was not just a poet, he was really talented in governing the country!

"Then it's settled. Just do this for now. After returning to Kyoto, I'll ask the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War to issue a document..."

Before Li Chenan finished speaking, a horse came galloping towards him.

"Regent……"

"Urgent report from the Imperial City Secretary!" (End of this chapter)
