When Luo Zhaoyun left the next day, Xue Zhiqing looked complicated. Late last night, the two of them talked at night with candles, and almost chatted until dawn. Then they only slept for two hours before they got up.

Luo Zhaoyun was inconvenient to stay in her residence for too long, so as not to lose talk and would damage the reputation of Xue Dacai's talented woman, so she left early.

Xue Zhiqing stood in the courtyard, wearing a snow-white fur robe, and watching his majestic figure leave, and felt a sense of loss in her heart. This kind of man is indeed different. With her talented and arrogant temperament, she was particularly impressed by Luo Zhaoyun. She thought to herself, if the two of them could often gather, discuss academics, and not ask about the outside world, how free it would be.

At night, Luo Zhaoyun not only arithmetic, but also talked about the explanations of physics, natural phenomena, and geography. Although they were all down to the point and did not go deeper, their wonderful ideas were something that Xue Zhiqing never thought about, including the question of why the apples fell to the ground. This made Xue Zhiqing troubled her for a long time and answered the question that she was not asking.

Luo Zhaoyun explained the existence of "gravity", as well as concepts such as water buoyancy, air resistance, and increase, which made Xue Zhiqing confused for a moment. It was just too much and it took a while. She vaguely felt that Luo Zhaoyun's erudition was far more than what he showed.

This made Xue Zhiqing even more puzzled and felt that this man was even more mysterious.

………

The north wind whistled, the snow hit the ground like a jade flower, and Luoyang was covered by a thick layer of snow.

This is the second snowfall after winter, which is obviously much heavier than the first one, and the weather is getting colder, and many house eaves have frozen ice sashes and ice sculptures.

Luo Zhaoyun felt that he had almost stayed in Luoyang, so he started to set off and rushed to Zhuo County.

At present, Luo Yi has been named Marquis, and is the local general manager of Zhuo County. With the imperial edict, Luo Zhaoyun has the power to control the four northern counties, Zhuo County, Yuyang County, Beiping County, and Yan County, all under the jurisdiction of Luo Zhaoyun, just like the northern vassal kings.

He had two tasks: one was to closely monitor the trends in Liaodong, shock the border, and let the Khitan, Marcelona, ​​Shiwei, Goguryeo and other foreign countries dare not go to the border garrison to take the opportunity to cause chaos and disturb the border; the other task was to suppress the rebels in the northeast of the Great Sui Dynasty, especially the growing Dou Jiande team in Hebei.

Although Luo Zhaoyun did not lead troops from the capital this time, the personal guards had 300 people to protect the pedestals, plus the eighteen cavalry and more than two hundred families, Ding Wushi, and was in a mighty manner, with five or six hundred people.

Luo Yi had already rushed back to Zhuo County earlier, so in this team, Luo Zhaoyun, he stayed in Luoyang and had some young talents online, and brought them all with him this time, with thirty or forty people.

Of course, there are only a few famous people in history. Most of the rest are descendants of famous generals, scholars of prominent families, and children of declining nobles. Although their fathers and ancestors are very famous, in their generation, they have only ambitions, and no matter their talents or experiences, they are incomparable with their parents.

For example, Gao Biaoren has a lot of talents compared to his father Gao Bing. He Ruohuaikuo and He Ruobi are not comparable. These people can only be considered young talents.

In addition, Zhou Zhongyin, Lai Heng, Fan Dongyin and others were also taken away by Zhou Luohu, Lai Hu'er and Fan Zigai's son.

Changsun Wuji, Mai Mengcai, Xue Wanren and others continued to follow him north and were in a good mood all the way because General Luo came back and was about to lead them again, and they would defeat them invincible.

Princess Ruyi sat in the car, holding a water warmer bag, leaning against a brazier and covering a blanket. The car was very warm and she was in a particularly happy mood.

This was her first time leaving the royal family. She was accompanied by her newlywed husband. She walked on the wind and snowy road, covered in silver and the particularly enchanting northern snow scene gave people a magnificent beauty of mountains and rivers.

Sometimes Luo Zhaoyun got into the car and rode alone with her, sometimes he would go out to march on horseback, and follow the soldiers to share the joys and sorrows. He always kept a vigilant mind and did not let himself be greedy for enjoyment and the bureaucratic style rose. Otherwise, he would not endure hardships and accomplish great things in the future.

"General Luo, how many troops will we expand this time?" Xue Wanren couldn't help asking.

Luo Zhaoyun said: "At least 100,000 troops are not limited to the four counties. Those severely affected areas in Hebei can also be sent to recruit soldiers, and some protected areas can be set up to temporarily live for the families of the strong men who joined the army. They can ensure safety and food and grass, so that they have no worries."

Everyone was surprised after hearing this. This was a big project. Once the people in Shanggu, Hejian and Boling areas in Hebei, they would definitely flock to them to bring their families and tribesmen to avoid disasters.

Changsun Wuji said worriedly: "General Luo, this idea is very good. We save the people from water and fire, but we do not have much food and grass reserves. The expenses of a hundred thousand troops are enough to piece together food and wages everywhere, not to mention that we have to take care of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of families. This task cannot be completed at all."

"Yes, we don't have so much food and supplies, and it's not enough to build a 100,000 army." Mai Mengcai also felt it was impossible.

"Don't forget that we have hidden a lot of military supplies in Liaodong, Yan County and other places, which is enough for our military conscription. In terms of military armor, there are several military manufacturing workshops in Zhuo County and Yuyang County, and there is no problem."

"You don't have to worry about the issue of the family of the soldiers. Since this general decided like this, he must have considered the material issue. In fact, they did not rely solely on our Zhuo County to provide relief. Those are labor forces, children can study, women can weave cloth, and older people can cook, weave mats, stir-fry tea, etc., and mix them together."

"As long as they raise a year, the next year, their family will start to plant and harvest in spring and autumn, and if they do not collect their taxes, they will be self-sufficient. This will make the circumference of Zhuo County truly peaceful. Otherwise, we will only suppress the chaos, but we will not be able to calm down without solving the problem of poverty."

Luo Zhaoyun swore with confidence and seemed confident. He could use the banner of comforting the local area to the outside world. In fact, it expanded the population and attracted refugees to settle down, increased the population, stabilized the morale of the army, and accumulated a good reputation, making full preparations for becoming king in the future.
