Yuehailou was in Chen, Xu and other states for a long time to rectify military disciplines and actively restore farming production. He also asked thousands of craftsmen from the Zhennanzong Palace to build water conservancy north of the Yingshui River and set up workshops and shipyards.

Cao Shixiong came from the southern affiliation of Shuozhou and then rebelled against Chihu in Lanzhou. He was accompanied by Han scholars led by Meng Jian and others, and had always had a relatively complete team of civil servants.

Although Xu Huai successfully raided into Lanzhou before moving south from Shuozhou, he was unfortunately unable to severely damage the civil servant team headed by Meng Jian, the surrendered army in Shuozhou.

After Cao Shixiong and Yue Hailou occupied Heluo, the west of the capital, Bianliang, Xu Luoying and Chen and others also had a group of boneless gentry surrendered to the capital. The speed of the Heluo and the west of the capital was transferred to the army and allocated the land was not expected to be too slow.

Therefore, even though it is expected that by this winter, the enemy of Heluo in the west of Jing and the Heluo River would not put too much military pressure on the Huai River, Xu Huai did not dare to relax at all after Xu Wujiang and Su Di and his wife set out on their trip to Hanchuan to talk to each other.

Autumn harvest is the top priority of the year.

In order to prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the drop in the water level of Yingru and others, they dispatched small groups of elite troops to infiltrate the water to disturb the attack, Xu Huai dispatched all the elected troops to Dengtaijia Mountain and north of Dafu Mountain to carry out anti-infiltration operations and ensure the smooth progress of autumn harvest work in each township department.

In late September, the autumn harvest work of the township departments has come to an end. Next, we must take advantage of the dry season and take advantage of the scarcity of rain and seize the time to reclaim more sloping terraces.

It is more difficult to reclaim sloping terraced fields between the mountains than to build fields in Qianbanpu Weiwan.

In addition to clearing shrubs and smoothing the terrain, the reclamation of sloping terraces also requires the construction of mountain ponds to ensure irrigation water-

Even though Qianfanpu is cultivated and hundreds of thousands of acres of more abundant and fertile grain fields are expected to be obtained, Xu Huai will never dare to slow down his business in Huai Shang.

At present, the reclamation of sloping terraces is mainly concentrated in Dengtaijia Mountain and the northern foothills of Dafu Mountain. A relatively flat and open terrain is selected, and a young and strong man and woman canals are organized to level the terrain, cultivate terraces, build ponds, and then use ponds to connect the large and small ponds in this area.

This system of using canals to connect ponds and mountains and lakes is more complicated than simply reclamation of terraced fields, and the project volume is much greater.

Because overflow dams and water reduction gates need to be built between the canals, water reduction stone gates, etc. to control the water level and flow, the dams also need to be built to be strong enough to withstand the impact of mountain torrents.

However, the combination of terraced fields, the construction of burrows, and mountain ponds with the construction of trench villages and inspection villages can not only make the defense system of Dengtaijia Mountain and the northern foot of Dafu Mountain more perfect and meticulous, but also effectively reduces floods and disasters in various branches of the Rushui River.

Just like the initial reclaiming of the valley between Yuhuangling and Shitu Ridge, although the project volume and the money and grain investment were extremely huge, in addition to the defense of Yuhuangling and Shitu Ridge, the downstream Baijian River also benefited a lot.

After the construction of a weir embankment in the upper reaches of the Mingxi River, in addition to the greatly reduced flood disasters on both sides of the Mingxi River, more than 30 large and small Pitang mountain lakes were built in the mountains upstream of the Huangyang Lake, and more than 20,000 to 30,000 mu of grain fields were reclaimed on the eastern foot of Shimenling and the eastern foot of Qingyi Mountain.

It is precisely because of the unremitting efforts over the years that Chu Shan was so short of money and food pulled by the court that he gritted his teeth to support him and was not crushed by the problem of shortage of food.

In addition to filling the food gap, the uninterrupted organization of young and strong men and women to carry out many extremely complex processes that are called extremely complex in the world, which not only makes the cohesion within Chushan increasingly higher, but also trains a large number of hardworking and hardworking grassroots officials.

Therefore, Chushan directly dispatched more than a hundred officials and led tens of thousands of young and strong men to Nancai, Qiao County. Before the thieves and lake bandits were expelled, the construction of the Nancai County and the surrounding 16 surrounding villages was directly carried out.

Lifengtang could not provide enough pledges, so he wanted to borrow money and grain from the stakeholders in Ezhou and other places. At first, there were few responders.

However, the Wang family sold land and houses on a large scale in Hanchuan, Huangpi, Jiangxia and other places, and invested all the money raised in Lifengtang. The news of Chushan building a village in Qianbanpu Weiwan was indeed quite serious, which caused many quality warehouses engaged in lending business to relieve their concerns.

In mid-October, Lifengtang borrowed more than 300,000 guan in Ezhou.

Under the recommendation of Wang Wenchong, Wang Mingqi and his son, a group of young Wang children also entered the Nancai County Yamen and Zhuxiangsi to serve.

Of course, Xu Huai was a real chief official at this time, and he had never been married. No one would think that his marriage had nothing to do with the court. Chushan and Wang families could just make up for it.

Xu Huai could not leave Huai at will. When the two sides had almost communicated with him and Wang Xuan's marriage, they planned to write a letter of memorial and arranged for Su Laochang to bring a batch of Chushan specialty porcelain, fried tea and other products as tributes to Jianye to offer it, and asked Emperor Jianji to issue an order to give it to his marriage.

Emperor Jianji naturally allowed everything and gave him many rewards.

By mid-December, when he saw that Xu Su, the enemy troops in Xijing, Heluo and other places had no major changes, Xu Huai continued to be the same as the custom and personally led the wedding team as the groom, embarking on the way to Hanchuan.

…………

…………

It was winter, and the rivers and rivers in the rivers and Huai Rivers were frozen, but the Jingjiang River and Han River were still rippling with blue waves; the reeds along the coast were withered, the branches and leaves were withered, and there were many birds on the branches that were not afraid of the cold and foraging in the wild.

Xu Huai has made many great achievements in the wars in the south and north over the years. At this time, he was also in a high position. However, since he became the chief manager of the military commander of the Chushan Camp and the commander of Cai Ru and other states, he has never built the official Jingsheng Marquis Mansion.

In recent years, with the continuous changes in the situation, the Chushan Camp's garrison moved from Huaiyuan to Zhouqiao first, and after the construction of the Chushan New City, they arrived at Chushan; took over the entire Huaishan defense line, and moved to Wuyang, and Xu Huai also followed the camp to Wuyang.

However, when Emperor Jianji issued an order to grant marriage, he also gave an additional 10,000 guan of money, so that Chushan would use this reward to build the Jingsheng Hou Mansion in the city while building Nancai City.

Although Nancai City had just built a circle of city walls at this time, there were not many formal and elegant houses in the city, and thousands of young and strong workers could only live in simple sheds, and the formal Jingsheng Hou Mansion had just laid the foundation, Xu Huai still decided to hold a wedding in Nancai City and return to Wuyang with Wang Xuan after getting married.

According to customs, Wang Xuan could not meet Xu Huai before the wedding, but she was not worried about it except for her expectation. Even on the day of the wedding, she wore a phoenix crown and sat calmly in the boudoir waiting.

However, after covering the big red square scarf, he walked out of the boudoir and led it into the sedan chair by his clan brother. He listened to the drums and music outside, but did not know where Xu Huai was, so he became inexplicably panicked. Only by carefully recalling the situation when Xu Huai leaned out of the Eagle-billed Cliff when he arrived in Huaiyuan, he felt a little relieved.

After feeling the sedan chair lifted up and walking tremblingly, he heard the sound of horse hooves approaching. The horse sniffed loudly, and Wang Xuan vaguely felt Xu Huai's huge figure sitting on the saddle.

She wanted to talk to Xu Huai, but she was inexplicably shy and couldn't open her mouth.

"I'm so nervous about the head and face that I'm called the red square scarf covering it, why are you so nervous?" Xu Huai lifted the curtain of the sedan and saw Wang Xuan sitting in the car covered with the red square scarf, and asked.

"Don't stretch out your hand to peel off the turban. Last night, more than a dozen aunts and aunts in the clan told a lot of rules. I don't want to give them a chance to gossip behind their backs at this time." Wang Xuan was stuck in the turban. Speaking of the two days of Shuangliuzhuang's struggles over the marriage, she asked worriedly, "Does there be many guests in Nancai City? I'll come out to pay for it. Will you be fooled?"

"Apart from Zhu Zhi, Zhu Tong came over with a gift, and everyone in the court had important matters and could not get out of it. Now the Jingjiang waterway has not yet calmed down, and the officials of the Road Prison and Ezhou Prefecture have only sent Hanchuan County Magistrate Yin Yaozhi to the banquet. Except for Uncle Seventeen, Aunt Seventeen and others came to Nancai, there were no people in Nancai City. What are you guilty? When you enter the city, I may not be able to get out of here for a while. Aunt Seventeen and Xiaohuan will accompany you!"

"Xu Xiaohuan is also here in Nancai?" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.

Xu Xiaohuan is the daughter of Xu Wuliang, who is about the same age as Wang Xuan. She married Wang Ju's second son Wang Jun two years ago.

Although Wang Xuan was young and arrogant in Tongbai Mountain, she was not very happy to pay attention to Xu Xiaohuan, but when she thought of going to Wuyang after marrying Xu Huai, Xu Xiaohuan was one of the few old friends and was also excited.

The newly built post road along the east bank of the Han River connects Shuangliuzhuang and Nancai City, which is under construction, is only seven or eight miles apart. After entering the city, Wang Xuan also gave a gift with a red scarf on her face, and then went to the bridal chamber to rest.

Wang Xuan covered her head and face with a red square scarf from beginning to end, either supported by a maid, or Xu Huai or Su Di, Xu Xiaohuan supported her and led her into the room.

She didn't even have the chance to look at what the house where the wedding was temporarily held in Nancai City.

Compared with the lively lights and decorations of Shuangliu Village today, Nancai City is much more deserted.

Not to mention many guests, Wang Xuan sat in the bridal chamber with a brazier burning, but she didn't hear anything outside, let alone the noise and bustle of the guests and friends.

When I felt the sky was getting dark outside, I could no longer hold back and opened the red square scarf. I saw two close maids accompanying me in the room. Xizhu was half burned, but I couldn't hear anything outside.

Wang Xuan was hesitating whether to go out to see what happened, but when he saw Su Di, Xu Xiaohuan pushed the door and walked in and smiled: "I guess you can't stand your mind - Xu Huai was afraid that you can't stand your mind, so he asked us to come and pick you up to the study so that you won't be able to stop being so lonely at night in the bridal chamber!"

"Why can't you hear anything outside?" Wang Xuan asked.

"You will know when you arrive at the study..." Su Di said.

Following Su Di and Xu Xiaohuan walked to Xiangyuan Study, but saw that unlike the lights and decorations elsewhere, there were many soldiers here, and there was a solemn place. The father who had already "father and daughter cried farewell" in front of Shuangliu Village before noon was actually here. In addition to her father and son Wang Fan, Zheng Shou, Wang Kong, and Fan Zongqi, Xu Ling, Shi Hu, Wang Jun and other generals who were supposed to have a banquet at this time were all wearing armor.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xuan said in surprise: "Dad, Xu Huai, do you want to use today's wedding to surround Panlong Village?"
