Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 406
"Report to the general! There are people in the front. According to the investigation, Wa State City is [-] miles ahead." The spies reported excitedly in front of Feng Daiwu.

"Okay! Come on! Go to Wa State City with General Ben!"

"Third brother, I'm going to be a messenger!" Feng Daijin yelled excitedly before Feng Daiwu could reply. After two years of long-distance battle, from the excitement at the beginning, to the restlessness in the middle, and to numbness, he was marching all the way. The road construction and wars in the future are just some cottages, and the small towns have been captured by Funan and Chenla. It will be heard that it is finally connected, and there is still waiting there.

"Go!" Feng Daiwu let out a long breath, nodded and said, he also relaxed in his heart. For two consecutive years, only the rainy season was used for cultivation, and his homesickness was still quite high.

…………

Qin Huaiyu was sitting in Wa State City, and got the news almost at the same time that there was a large group of troops coming from another direction under the banner of Datang. Several hundred cavalry came to check, and met Feng Daijin on the way, and the two had met each other.

"Brother Qin!" Feng Daijin saw Qin Huaiyu through the binoculars from afar, and shouted excitedly, waving his hands.

"Haha! Feng Silang! Why is it you? Could it be your second brother behind?" Qin Huaiyu also recognized him, rode his horse and galloped over, and asked with a big smile.

"Hey! It's the third brother. We called all the way from Funan." Feng Daijin explained with a smile.

"What! Why didn't I know you sent troops." Qin Huaiyu asked in surprise.

"Brother Qin, don't worry, there are only [-] soldiers and horses reported to the Ministry of War, and the rest are recruited young men. Funan and Chenla are traveling together by the way, so it seems that there are many people." Feng Daijin said with a sly smile.

"Hey, what name did you use to report?" Qin Huaiyu rode back with Feng Daijin, went to meet Feng Daiwu, asked as they walked, and after listening to Feng Daijin's carefulness, combined with the current situation, he fully understood.

"Business route, we reported to the Ministry of War that we are investigating the trade route leading to Nanzhao." Qin Huaiyu was considered his own family and had nothing to hide, Feng Daijin replied directly.

"You guys! You Aye, does the second brother know? How long have you been out?" Qin Huaiyu shook his head with a funny face and asked a series of questions.

"I don't know, they don't know, and they always thought it was really a trade route. After a while, we will write a letter back, and it has been two years." Feng Daijin shook his head like a rattle, and said in a trance.

"Hey! You two are so courageous." Qin Huaiyu also quite understood that the two young men who were eager to make contributions were under the pressure of their father and brother, eager to make achievements, and he himself was under the pressure of his parents.

"We fought all the way, repaired all the way, and opened up a road. Now we can go all the way from here to Funan, and we don't have to cut down trees while walking." Feng Daijin excitedly introduced the deeds he had done in the past two years. It is also a very difficult thing. Of course, it needs to be shared with others. Now that I finally meet acquaintances, of course I have to tell it to show off.

When Qin Huaiyu saw Feng Daiwu, he hurriedly welcomed him into the city, arranged for troops to be stationed outside the city, and took care of him at his residence.

The next day, Chang Sun Chong, who had heard the news, also came to invite him and hosted a banquet.

Now that the road is open, but Niu Jinda, who is attacking and encroaching on the Pyu country, doesn't know it. Qin Huaiyu personally escorted a batch of grain and grass, and took them to meet Niu Jinda and wait for arrangements.

Only then did Feng Daiwu understand why there was so little resistance when he penetrated thousands of miles into Pyu country. It turned out that Niu Jinda's army was attracting firepower on this side.

Of course, they also dispersed some of Pyu's power invisibly, but they hardly encountered big cities, and they only attacked small towns, villages, and fortresses.

…………

Western Liaoning is now developing rapidly and has become the most important force in the Tang Dynasty. The mines with a radius of hundreds of miles now have a peak of 60 people. They are mining and smelting. There is a large amount of grain every day, and coal mines are transported. Come, there will be a lot of farm tools, weapons and equipment transported away.

It also supplies the tracks of the entire Chang'an-Luoyang railway, and the four large ships in Liaoxi Dockyard are manufactured at the same time, and the steel required is simply massive.

The grain seeds in Liaoxi have improved every year, which can increase the yield. Cui Ping, under the reminder of Feng Daiwen, is using the special ore dug out of the mine to conduct experiments, and has developed phosphorus fertilizer, potassium fertilizer, and urea fertilizer to increase the grain yield. It is better, but the production speed of fertilizer is not fast now, and it is not clear whether ore is used to make fertilizer, whether there will be any side effects.

All grains that have been fertilized are stored separately. A group of young and strong captives are selected and fed to them individually to observe whether it will affect their health. However, this process requires continuous time. to the effect.

Although Li Shimin sent all the younger generation to the Western Regions for training and recruited many veterans to help guard the important land in western Liaoning, Ma Zhou was still in charge of all government affairs, except for the military, Ma Zhou would make a decision with one word.

And Ma Zhou did not disappoint Li Shimin at all, Feng Daiwen's great trust and expectations, and even did better. The development of Liaoxi in the past few years can be said to have contributed a lot. Transfuse blood to the rest of Datang.

After Feng Daiwen assigned ten assistants to Ma Zhou, Li Shimin selected four more capable people from the secretary supervisor to run errands for Ma Zhou full-time.

In the past few years, Western Liaoning has not only made great achievements in grain cultivation, but also vigorously exploited mineral deposits, which is even more commendable in other places.

In a place close to Liaodong, more than a dozen hilltops were selected, and the ginseng cultivated by using seeds has survived on a large scale and can be used in a few years.

The deer breeding industry started with more than ten people at the earliest, and now requires more than 1000 people to take care of it, with more than 3 deer, all over the mountains, forests and grasslands within a radius of [-] miles.

There are more than 30 feeding grounds built for the deer in the winter. Every year when they get pregnant in the spring, the doe that gives birth will be given special care, raised in captivity, and carefully raised to ensure safe childbirth and the survival of the fawn. This is why the deer herd The reason for the rapid development.

And under Feng Daiwen's guidance, disinfection and excrement cleaning are carried out on a regular basis. Those deer herds are used to seeing the staff every day, and they are no longer afraid of people, and they will come to ask for food.

The male deer are also fed separately. The strong ones will live with the female deer, while the others will be fed separately. These deer feeding alone are used to extract deer antlers, deer blood, and even send them to the palace as tributes. Of course, there will be more deer in the future. There will be sales.
