It wasn't until Qi Haoran and the people disappeared from sight that Luo Zhan looked back and straightened his back. His personal guard looked at him worriedly. Except for the chieftain and priest, the second son had never bent down to anyone.

Luo Zhan went back to the table and sat down, and asked, "Do you think King Rong would believe what I said just now?"

The guard thought it over and said: "Jun Rong is a smart man, he only listens to what our family says, I'm afraid he won't believe it, but what the Second Young Master said is the truth, so I'm not afraid to investigate."

The Xixia people did often invade them, and Luo Dian was indeed divided into two factions. One group advocated to ask the imperial court to garrison troops, and the other group wanted to build a guard army by itself. As long as King Rong was willing to send people to Luo Dian, he would be able to find out.

Luo Zhan shook his head and smiled lightly: "I'm talking about the rice seeds. Do you think he will believe that the rice seeds came from us?"

The guard was confused.

Luo Zhan sighed and said, "This is the greatest sincerity we have shown. If they don't believe it, how can we impress them? Just now, he only asked for 1,000 hu of rice seeds. How much land can 1,000 hu of rice plant? Apparently he doesn't believe us yet."

The guard lowered his voice and said, "Are you really going to take out the county's iron and silver..."

Luo Zhan hesitated, and said: "Don't say that again." Why did the chieftain and others firmly oppose asking the court to garrison for help? Isn't it because they are afraid that the court will find the silver and iron mines in the county and take them away?

The people in the county are in poverty, how can the chieftain and the elders of the clan support them? Isn't it those silver iron?

After all, this is the only valuable thing they can get. Because the yield of this kind of rice seed is good, Luo Zhan is full of confidence before coming here, but no matter how good the rice seed is, if the other party doesn't pay attention to it, then it won't matter condition.

Luo Zhan actually has other options. After all, Qi Haoran doesn't pay much attention to this kind of grain, and others know the goods. After seeing Qi Haoran himself, Luo Zhan has doubts about the feasibility of the second option.

At this time, Xu Zhi was following closely behind Qi Haoran, and said, "My lord, why do you only need a thousand hu of rice seeds? That's only enough to plant about 10,000 mu of rice fields. Not to mention other places, Guangju Prefecture is Not enough."

Qi Haoran snorted and said, "How many rice seeds can the little Luo Dian produce? And didn't you say that you haven't confirmed whether this rice seed is stable? Do you dare to use it to sow seeds for the people? If you fail to harvest it, you will support the people?"

Xu Zhi didn't dare to speak for a while, Qi Haoran said: "Give the rice seeds to Wang Hao, someone under her will do these experiments, and after confirming that the rice seeds can be planted, they will be promoted. Now there are corn and upland rice No. 1. As long as you are diligent enough and there are no corrupt officials, the people will not starve to death."

"Yes, it's because the lower officials didn't think carefully." Xu Zhi asked curiously when he saw the prince's expression was flat, "Then prince, do you want to promise Luo Zhan to send troops into the Luo Palace?"

Qi Haoran glanced at him, and said: "Luo Dian is my land in Daqi, do you need to agree to him? If the court gives way to the faction, Luo Dian can't stop it. If the court doesn't give way to the faction, Luo Dian naturally can't ask for it."

Xu Zhi stood there in a daze and watched Qi Haoran walk away.

When Qi Haoran returned, he handed his son to Mu Yangling, and turned to find Mr. Qian to discuss.

It was a very dangerous thing for Daqi that Xixia people could enter through Luodian, but he hadn't noticed this before.

Mr. Qian looked at the map for a while, and said: "My lord, there is only one small road from Xixia to Luodian. You also said that Luo Zhan said that the small road can only pass two people in parallel. Food, grass and luggage can't go there at all. From Luodian, there is only a small mountain road, and the mountain road is rugged, it is difficult for Xixia to attack on a large scale from there."

"But this is a loophole after all," Qi Haoran said, "If the opponent sneaks into Luo Dian like ants moving troops first, hides in the forests on both sides, and then takes down Luo Dian in one fell swoop, and uses Luo Dian as a supply to attack Lingnan, what do you think we What are the chances of discovering the military situation?"

Mr. Qian pondered.

Qi Haoran said: "You also said that there is only one mountain road from Luo Dian, and there are no villages and towns along the way. They only need to hide in the mountains and forests, and our scouts are mainly distributed in the Wumeng area, so they don't pay attention to this side at all. Once they're done garrisoning..."

Thinking of that scene, Mr. Qian couldn't help but shudder, and said: "We will set up a garrison in Luo Dian!"

Qi Haoran nodded, "That's right, I would rather spend more than leave such a big gap for Xixia." He took a pen and drew a point on the map, saying: "Since we have already set up a garrison in Luo Dian, it is better to do more To be more perfect, I want to set up a post station here as a channel for the rapid transmission of secret reports, only urgent military reports of six hundred miles can go here."

Mr. Qian looked at the dot on the map in astonishment, "My lord, isn't this in the deep mountains and old forests?"

Qi Haoran nodded, "But Luo Dian passed by it when he came out, and Wumeng also passed by here when he went to the capital. We just need to move the point a little bit inward to avoid the sight of ordinary people."

Mr. Qian pondered, in this way, the urgent military situation of more than 600 miles in the entire northwest region will pass through here, and the speed will be much faster in the case of special personnel.

As long as it works properly, even if the northwest is far away from the capital, it will always be under the control of the capital.

"It's just that in this way, I'm afraid the cost will not be small..."

Qi Haoran also supported his head with a headache, yes, money is always a problem.

Qi Haoran sighed, and said: "I mentioned this in advance, and it doesn't have to be done now. First, the matter of Luo Dian's garrison is settled, and if the military situation is to be unimpeded, the road to Luo Dian must be repaired."

Mr. Qian couldn't help but said, "Road construction also requires money."

Qi Haoran glared at him and said: "I know that I want money, this master is here to figure out a way, you hurry up and draw up the brochure, sort out what we just said, and it will be distributed to the capital tomorrow."

Mr. Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, he was really afraid that Qi Haoran would entrust him with getting money.

The next day, Mr. Qian handed the booklet to Qi Haoran. Qi Haoran turned around and was about to hand it over to the guard. Mr. Qian widened his eyes and said, "My lord, this booklet..."

It was only then that Qi Haoran realized that he hadn't copied it yet, coughed lightly, and said, "Okay, let someone go to the barracks to inform you that today's military training will continue as usual, so I'll go and copy it."

Mr. Qian wrote the general notes for him, and he copied them and handed them in. Didn't he think about money today and forget?

Fortunately, he didn't hand it in, otherwise the eldest brother couldn't hide it even if he wanted to help him. The paper had to be screened by the courtiers first. Those people had sharp eyes, so they could tell whether his handwriting could be seen at a glance.

Qi Haoran took a pen and copied it, read it through after finishing it, and handed it out after making sure there was no problem.

Just as Qi Haoran was about to go out to the military camp, he ran into Luo Zhan who was visiting at the door. Qi Haoran couldn't help raising his eyebrows, but Luo Zhan knew his whereabouts clearly, and even knew that he didn't go to the military camp today.

Luo Zhan wasn't in a hurry, but couldn't help but wanted to inquire about the news. Qi Haoran didn't give him an answer yesterday, whether he was willing to send troops there or not.
