On the 20th day of the first lunar month of the Shangtong year of Shaoliang, the Qin envoy, Yuyou, and the prince Ying Si, arrived at Shaoliang and fifty guards arrived at Shaoliang City. Dongliang Jun and other officials went to greet each other.

Afterwards, Dongliang Jun summoned Zhai Hu, Li He, Fan Hu, Sima Zhuo, Wang Zheng, Wang Yi and others, and once again held a meeting on the construction of Shaoliang after the war.

This meeting is very simple, mainly to determine the main direction of construction and development.

It is construction, not reconstruction.

Because reconstruction is actually not complicated, it is nothing more than waiting for the Qin army to evacuate from the three cities of Fanpang, Dongliang and Zhiyang, and let the people who fled to the old Liang and Shaoliang return to their original cities, and then help them build houses to live in. In fact, it doesn't take much effort. The real focus is on the construction of water conservancy and road construction.

Especially the construction of water conservancy projects, this is related to whether Shaoliang can get rid of the trouble of being damaged by mountain torrents all year round.

Li He has mentioned the plan for the development of water conservancy in the previous "Mo Governance Law", and Dongliang Jun, Zhai Hu, Fan Hu, Sima Zhuo and others have also watched it, so today's meeting is mainly about the division of labor on this matter.

It is worth mentioning that at today's meeting, the Qin State envoy also listened to the side. Even when the meeting was about to end, he took the initiative to express his willingness to participate in the construction of Shaoliang.

Don't get me wrong. This Qin envoy is not a simple kind intention. He wants to intervene in Shaoliang's internal affairs.

I remember that at the end of last year when the King of Qin and Shaoliang were discussing the "Shaoliang Peace Treaty", the King of Qin actually proposed not "mutual intermissions", but "mutual mutual", that is, sending people to serve as prime ministers in each other's countries.

Mutual mutual is a safeguard measure that is higher than mutual imposition. If Shaoliang and Qin are used as an example, if the two countries implement "mutual" measures, then Qin can greatly stop Shaoliang from making any decisions that are unfavorable to Qin, such as preventing Shaoliang from establishing diplomatic relations with the enemy of Qin.

The same goes for the other way around.

Some people may think that the King of Qin is stupid. A country that is so big in Qin actually has the same "to each other" with Shaoliang. But in fact, the strength of the two countries depends on the strength of the two countries. Take Yin Ying, the son of Yin Qi, for example. He became the prime minister in Qin and had the ability to interfere with Qin's government orders? The powerful class of Qin did not even accept Wei Yang, let alone Yin Ying?

So in the end, Yin Ying was just a decoration, with only the name of Qin Prime Minister, but not the reality of Qin Prime Minister.

But it is completely different for Qin to send people to Shaoliang as prime minister. Even without a tough approach, Qin can use some gentle measures to control Shaoliang's internal affairs. In the long run, Shaoliang will be able to be firmly tied to the Qin chariot.

Dongliang Jun and others knew this well, so Li He refused the King of Qin without hesitation.

As for today's entertainment games, Qin obviously has not given up on this plan.

Dong Liangjun thought for a moment and threw the matter to Li He: "Then please help Doctor Ziliang."

"As for the order." Yunyou smiled and bowed, looking very happy.

Of course he was happy. After all, the previous war between Shaoliang and Qin was undoubtedly the key figure in the whole matter. At first, he firmly advocated resisting Qin, and finally he took the risk of recruiting the King of Qin. In addition, he was determined to terminate the relationship with the vassal of Wei. The King of Qin, Ying Qian, Wei Yang, and the ministers of Wei were very interested in Li He, and the same was true for entertainment.

Not to mention that Li He is closely related to Liang Ji. Qin has vaguely regarded Li He as the "successor" of Dongliang Jun. He is sure that Li He will be the most critical figure in controlling Shaoliang politics in the future. Of course, Fuyou is willing to establish a good relationship with this young man in advance.

After the meeting, Li He took the entertainment to the old Liang by carriage, and the Qin Prince Ying Si and the fifty guards, nurses, servants and others who protected him temporarily moved into Dongliangjun's mansion until Shaoliang City built the "Qin Prince's Mansion" for a while - it was actually the host's mansion.

After returning to the old Liang Dynasty, Li He also summoned the officials of the old Liang Dynasty to hold a meeting.

Previously, except for the grassroots officials, most of the other officials in the old Liang Dynasty had already gone to Heyang one after another after handing over the affairs, and assisted the doctor Yin Qi to manage Heyang. After all, many of them were retainers of the Yin family. After these officials left, the vacancy was quickly filled by clan members who moved from Linghuyi, Wei State, etc., including the technical positions, Mo Jian and other Mo family disciples.

After the meeting, Mr. Hu asked Li He privately, "Ziliang, why did you bring that Qin envoy?"

Li He said the decision of Dongliang Jun, and then said to Mr. Hu: "This person is not a big threat. He is nothing but surveillance of my Shaoliang for Qin. If he deliberately restricts his actions, it will arouse Qin's vigilance. Let him participate. Anyway, he cannot integrate into the Mozhe side and cannot see anything truly valuable... I will ask him to help you, so don't underestimate him. This person is under Wei Yang."

"Qin Prime Minister Wei Yang?" Old Hu showed a look of surprise on his face, and then he suddenly said: "No wonder Dongliang Jun couldn't refuse..."

Li He smiled.

Indeed, just because Fuyou was once a subordinate official who was Wei Yang's new law, Dongliang Jun and him were difficult to refuse. After all, he had few minor people in Liang State, and had talented people. Even if he was a foreign minister like Fuyou, he could use it as long as it did not involve the interests of Qin State.

"In the past two days, I will go to the loess plateau on the west side with Juzi and others. At that time, I will ask the fox to become old in the city."

"Don't worry." The old fox agreed with a smile: "I'm so energetic."

Li He couldn't help laughing again.

Not to mention, since he hired Hu Lao Lao as the city chief of the old Liangcheng and entrusted Hu Lao Lao to help him manage the old Liang, the old man has been energetic.

To be precise, the several clans who moved from Linghuyi were all very energetic.

Two days later, on the 22nd day of the first lunar month, Li He brought Mo Jian and more than a dozen Momen, accompanied by more than a hundred strange soldiers including Han Yan, Wu Heng, Gao Yun, etc., and embarked on a journey to survey the loess plateau in the western region.

On the west side of Shaoliang Kingdom, there was a whole loess plateau full of trees. When Li He came here to set fire, he also saw the trees that looked endlessly, as if they were vast.

Even when Shaoliang first implemented the strategy of clearing the fields, he sent people to set fire everywhere and burned trees within a radius of nearly ten miles in one breath, it might be just an insignificant wildfire for this dense and deep forest that was rarely visited.

"I have to find a way to plant some vegetation in this area, especially on both sides of the water to prevent soil erosion, otherwise the river will be called the Yellow River in the future..."

When Li He, Mo Jian and others stepped on the top of the plateau with hard frozen soil, Li He pointed to the distance and discussed with everyone while planning: "It is difficult to prevent soil erosion by transforming it into terraces. You might as well plant some beans and beans on the ridges, and plant some mulberry and hemp. Use the rhizomes of the crop to hold the soil tightly to minimize soil erosion..."

The ink people nodded one after another, and several of them took out wooden pieces and carved what Li He said on it.

Mo Jian smiled and said to Li He: "The countries and people in the lower reaches of the river should thank Ziliang."

Li He smiled and said, "There is no need... try not to harm future generations."

“What I said is very much.”

Mo Jian and the ink nodded one after another.

After walking a little further, everyone came to a crisscrossing gullies. Li He pointed to the gullies and said, "You might as well transform the gullies in this area into a flood storage pond..."

While speaking, several Mo people came up and quickly painted the terrain of this area on cloth. After returning to the city, they planned it carefully to transform the gullies in this area into a flood storage pond more reasonably. Li He continued to tell Mo Jian and other Mo people about the role of the flood storage pond: "...If the water level is raised during the rainy season, open the dam of the flood storage pond, and lead the mountain torrent into the pond to reduce the mountain torrent torrents; if it is dry season, water will be gradually released for drinking downstream... Of course, my Shaoliang will basically not lack water, but this is roughly the case... Oh, by the way, inside and outside the flood storage pond, you can also raise some fish and shrimps and plant some trees at that time..."

The ink-like people nodded one after another.

Afterwards, the group continued to move northwest and mapped the trends of the ravines and water passing along the way, so that they could make complete plans in the future.

Although this hill is full of gullies and covered with snow, it cannot affect the speed of the Mozhe and the surprise soldiers.

As dusk approached, Li He and his party came to the dense forest that seemed like a vast ocean.

Everyone went into the forest to light a few bonfires and prepared to spend the night.

At night, everyone heard a few wolf howls.

The ink people were not afraid, but the surprise soldiers became excited.

It's no wonder. After all, since December last year, everyone has hardly tasted any meat. At this moment, when they heard the howl of wolves, the strange soldiers actually swallowed their saliva. The fierceness made the ink-like people secretly shocked.

Are there really wolves in this area?

The answer is yes.

In such a rare mountain forest, there must be many jackals, tigers, leopards, birds and beasts.

Look, the next day, Li He and his group met a group of wolves. The group of gray-haired beasts looked at Li He and his group from afar. Because there were not many other parties, they dared not get close.

"Let's have barbecue tonight?"

The hundred generals Wu Heng licked his lips and took the initiative to meet him with more than a dozen surprise soldiers.

Li He did not stop him, but just instructed the strange soldiers: "Be careful of poisonous insects, and if you encounter any chicken and rabbit, try to catch them as much as possible."

"Okay."

Wu Heng and his group licked their lips and left.

By the way, the reason why Li He led the surprise soldiers to survey the hills in this area this time was to train the surprise soldiers to survive in the wild and to see if the surprise soldiers could catch some wild animals and raise them. After all, is he still planning to build an animal farm?

Otherwise, the surprise soldier would not even be able to tell the ore, what did he take them to do.

In the following days, Li He and his party continued to go deep into the hill and mapped the nearby terrain.

Fortunately, even though the snow had not melted, everyone found a bare iron ore, and the iron ore of the accompanying coal mine.

This made Li He feel energetic.

Although he originally thought that a large area of ​​rarely visited loess plateau on the west side of Shaoliang would never have no mineral deposits, he did not expect to find an iron ore and coal mine so easily.

This means that Shaoliang can develop smelting processes on its own, or even steelmaking.

However, good news is often accompanied by bad news. The next day, when Li He and his party passed through a forest, a surprise soldier found a broken leather coat that seemed to have been abandoned for many years.

After taking it, Mo Jian tossed and turned around for a long time, and said suspiciously: "Left lapel? This is probably Rong Di's clothing..."

A Mohist named Mo Ming frowned and said, "As far as I know, there is Linhu to the west of the Three Jins, and there is Yiqu in the north of Qin. The geography seems to be on the northwest side of Shaoliang. Could it be one of these two?"

As everyone was talking, Li He frowned and looked at the torn fur coat in his hand.

He had been thinking about the two major countries of Qin and Wei, but he ignored the alien races.

Whether it is Lin Hu or Yiqiu, they are not aliens that can be easily dealt with.

On that day, he sent surprise soldiers to find out if there were any traces of alien races. However, the surprise soldiers searched for them for a long time but found no traces.

This made Li He secretly relieved.

"Shaoliang must become strong as soon as possible..."

With a relaxed breath, he thought to himself.
Chapter completed!
