The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

Local governments also took action to resettle the people who had left their hometowns. Those who were willing to settle down were helped by the government. If they wanted to return to their hometowns, the government would give them documents. If there were too many people, they would send a few people to escort them back.

Guanzhong, as the name suggests, refers to the area in the pass. It is named because it is located in the four passes.

There are Xiaoguan in the north, Wuguan in the south, and Tongguan in the east. Yes, it is the Tongguan of Roujiamo.

In the pre-Qin period, people always clamored to go east. The Hangu Pass they went out of was the eastern gate of the pass, just like Tongguan.

Laozi rode a cow out of Hangu Pass.

And to the west of Guanzhong is Sanguan.

Guanzhong is also known as the 800-li Qinchuan. This vast land has nurtured countless people since ancient times. Most of the time, it has been good weather, fertile land, and developed agriculture.

Since ancient times, it has been said that whoever controls Guanzhong controls the world. This is the dragon vein of China. Countless heroes rose rapidly on this land and then seized the world.

However, this year's drought is fierce. The land in Guanzhong is severely dry and there is no harvest. It can be said that this is the most serious problem faced by the Zhenguan Dynasty.

As a last resort, the court issued begging pass documents to allow the people in Guanzhong to go out of the pass and go to other places to find a way to survive.

If the national treasury had not been completely opened to release grain, it is unknown how many people in Guanzhong would have to flee outside the pass.

Sanguan.

A monk came to the pass with his bag on his back.

The court officials at the pass were also telling the people that the court no longer issued documents, and the court released grain, but the pass was not open.

The monk came to the pass and said that he wanted to go west.

"Master, do you have the documents? The checkpoint will not let anyone go. If you want to go out, please go to the government to get the documents."

"Amitabha."

The monk took out his begging documents and handed them to the official.

The official took a look at the documents and returned them to the monk.

"If you want to go out to beg, you don't have to travel a long distance and leave your hometown. Now the court has opened the warehouse to release grain, and you can have food to eat."

"Amitabha, no problem."

Seeing that they couldn't persuade the monk, the officials at the checkpoint let him go.

However, they looked at the monk with a bit of inquiry.

If you can survive inside the checkpoint, why go all the way outside the checkpoint?

The environment and conditions outside the checkpoint are incomparable to those inside the checkpoint.

Why bother to go there to suffer?

In the farm of Jingyang County, Li Fu had almost finished lying at home, so he started his tour of the farm. Last time he went to the cotton field, and this time he went to the military camp.

After two months of absence, the military camp has also undergone great changes.

The granary has been repaired, the warehouse has been repaired, and the pig pen has also been expanded.

When Li Fu came, the people in the camp were not training. Except for the pig farmers and the granary warehouse, everyone else was working.

It should be that after he talked to Su Dingfang about the planning of the military camp last time, Su Dingfang was also working hard to make changes.

Li Fu took people directly to Su Dingfang's tent.

On a hot day, the door curtains and curtains of the tent were open, and you could see at a glance that Su Dingfang was discussing something with several deputy generals in the tent.

"General, the prince is here." The person outside the tent reported.

As soon as the voice fell, Li Fu took Wu Liangye into the tent.

When the people in the tent saw Li Fu, they hurriedly stood up and bowed.

"Greetings, Your Highness."

"No need to be polite, sit down and chat." Li Fu said.

Su Dingfang specially asked someone to bring a comfortable chair and let Li Fu sit in the main seat. Wu Liangye stood behind Li Fu.

"What are you discussing?" Li Fu asked.

"Return to Your Highness." Su Dingfang bowed and said: "According to the previous plan, the military camp is constantly expanding and planning more buildings. At present, the granary and warehouse have been built, and many military equipment and materials have been stored. Next, we need to properly accommodate the soldiers."

"Currently, we are discussing the construction of houses for soldiers to live in."

Li Fu nodded.

"How is the discussion going?" Li Fu asked again.

"The place has been chosen, and now everyone is preparing everything they can." Su Dingfang said, "Once the supplies arrive, we can start construction immediately."

"Supplies?" Li Fu frowned, "Have the previously allocated money and grain been used up?"

"Your Highness, it's like this. Because of the drought, the Jingyang Palace allocated money and grain, and the army has been consuming the previously stockpiled supplies. The new batch of supplies has not been delivered yet, and we are thinking of waiting for this period of time before starting the plan for the camp."

Su Dingfang's words were euphemistic.

To put it bluntly, the current financial situation is tight,So let's put things aside for now, and wait until we have money and more money in the future, and then start to work.

As for what can be prepared in the early stage, prepare it first.

That is, let people level the ground and dig ditches first, and free up other people to go up the mountain to cut wood and mine stones.

As long as it can be solved by one's own manpower, don't waste that money.

Although this is slower, it is important to save money.

Anyway, these 1,000 people, whether they work or not, have to eat.

So don't be idle, work.

Su Dingfang is also calculating how to maximize the use of human and material resources to save expenses for the manor.

"Let me see the drawings." Li Fu said.

Su Dingfang respectfully handed the drawings to Li Fu.

Li Fu handed over all the affairs in the military camp to Su Dingfang, including the subsequent construction of the military camp and various planning drawings, which were all drawn by Su Dingfang.

The military camp is different from other places.

Other places may require beauty, practicality, art, etc.

But military camps need to be simple and direct, with practicality as the first priority, and the privacy and defense functions of the military camps must be there.

In this way, other unnecessary things must be abandoned.

Su Dingfang is an expert, and he can take all these into consideration. Even if the drawings are not good-looking and the military camps built in the end are not good-looking, this is not a problem.

Military camps are not a place that needs to look good.

"Very good, continue to follow this plan. As for the money and food, wait two days, they will be delivered soon." Li Fu said: "The tight days will not last too long. How are the soldiers doing recently? Are they okay?"

"Your Highness, everything is fine. However, before the military camp is built, everyone is working, and the training is..."

"It doesn't matter. First, we need to sort out the shelter, and the training will follow." Li Fu said: "Working every day is not an easy thing, so just treat it as training. As for the military camp, can everything be done before the end of this year?"

"Your Highness, don't worry, the remaining time is enough." Su Dingfang said confidently.
