Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

"Where is Ah Luo? Why didn't I see anyone while eating?" Emperor Qianyuan leisurely went to Shen's mansion, and saw Xiao Shitou reading the herbal plant theory written by Shen Luo, and copying some agricultural books.

Feeling relieved, Emperor Qianyuan touched Xiao Shishi's head, looking a little happy.

"He's been in the study for a long time, and he's in the study when he comes back in the afternoon!" Qing Chen came over and handed Xiao Shishi a plate of pastries to taste, the steamed jujube cake made tonight should taste good.

After walking to the door of the study, Emperor Qianyuan and Guowei were stunned by a long stack of scrolls hanging on the wall. The two old men are free now and will come over at dinner time in the evening.Guowei's wife has also passed away, and he hasn't spent time at home with Dean Gong in the palace.

The two of them didn't speak, and looked at the scrolls one by one. Various patterns of formations were scattered on the paper like chess pieces.

Shen Luo immersed himself in the drawing, and wrote the introduction carefully in small script. There was a lot of waste paper thrown on the ground, which obviously had been drafted many times.

Emperor Qianyuan and Guowei sat down and drank a cup of tea before Shen Luo came out with red eyes.

"What's wrong? Are you still crying?" Emperor Qianyuan said jokingly.

"My eyes hurt. I can draw landscapes, but I can't draw maps and figures." Shen Luo said with a long breath.

"What are you planning to do? You're drawing this again." Guowei was curious. Although Shen Luo had surprised him a lot, he specialized in art, and he changed his career to military research, which really made him feel interesting.

"Isn't it just to communicate well with Qian Yueran? I have to learn everything. Anyway, I'm a civil servant, so I just do some things to make suggestions. It's good to know more." Shen Luo said lightly.

There is no way to cover up many things about him, so he simply finds a reason to say it out.

"Although it looks very good, but you have never served in the army, why are you playing this, isn't it a joke?" Emperor Qianyuan laughed.

Shen Luo waved his hand: "If we don't talk on paper, our army won't even have a chance to change."

"Oh?" Emperor Qianyuan hugged his shoulders and thought for a while: "Chuan Qianping and Qian Yueran."

Guowei got up and arranged, and looked at his students with satisfaction. Recently, there have been more and more noises about sinking, but he is well versed in the way of counselors. To the front, such as Yunmo.

When Qian's father and son came, Emperor Qianyuan was at the main table, presiding over today's dinner.

"Come on, let's all sit down and eat." Emperor Qianyuan said with a smile on his face.

The Qian family father and son looked at a table of dishes, sat down without any nonsense, and accompanied Emperor Qianyuan and the others to eat.

For a meal, there are twelve dishes on the table, as well as a few snacks, and a bowl of soup in front of each person.Shen Luo's family's expenses are not small, but he settled down silently. After all, what he has today is given by Emperor Qianyuan, so what can he eat?

After eating and drinking enough, Emperor Qianyuan took the father and son of the Qian family to look at Shen Luo's picture scroll, Qian Yue looked at it with great interest, and what he saw immediately became the picture that he could think of in his mind, without waiting for Emperor Qianyuan to say He already had the idea of ​​wanting to fight against the drill.

"That's it, Yue Ran and Shen Luo, let's fight with the Imperial Forest Army, how about it?" Emperor Qianyuan said.

"This proposal is fine. The Yulin Army has not practiced any new tactics for many years." Qianping nodded in response.

"Okay, let's make it like this. I will give you five days to practice, and I will see the real chapter after five days." Emperor Qianyuan laughed and made a decision on this matter.

On this side, the gambling appointment in Shen's residence was in full swing, Qian Yueran and Shen Luo discussed for a long time, Shen Luo explained her thoughts clearly, and Big Brother Lan occasionally added a few finishing touches, creating a lively atmosphere.

On the northwest side, Yun Mo, who didn't know that he was about to step into a trouble trap, was extremely passive.

The people Yun Changkong sent to scout the way all went without returning, and there was no news of them.

When Yun Mo was approaching the northwest junction, Yun Changkong asked him to stay to delay time until there was news ahead.

Encountered such a problem before the start of the game, Yun Mo felt that he might be in a quagmire for a while.

"Array!" The [-] Royal Forest Army lined up neatly, Qian Yueran recently commanded with semaphore, as well as the Horn, Luming, and Conch. After the completion of the new command system, there were seven deputy generals who commanded orders behind with.

As onlookers, Shen Luo, Emperor Qianyuan, Guowei, Jian Cong, Big Brother Lan, Big Brother Tie, Nie Xingfeng, Baili Songran, and little Shitou and Yinjunwen were watching.

Just so many people, sitting on the viewing platform as a betting square.

It's not that the Three Kings and the Two Prime Ministers didn't get the news, it's just that they don't know why the Emperor wanted to come to the Royal Garden to recruit troops recently, and they didn't get an invitation, so they couldn't come if they wanted to.

And it seems to be watching the training of the Royal Forest Army.

As for the new type of infantry and hatchbacks, they couldn't figure it out at all.

Even Song Ran didn't know about the betting, he just thought that Qian Yueran and Shen Luo were discussing the tactics, and was going to have a drill.

They have postponed the fight for five full days here, and today is the sixth day, but the northwest side has been delayed again and again. The salt and tea caravan in the imperial capital has been sorted out, which is two days behind the scheduled time.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Amidst the sound of war drums, the infantry regiment was the first to form a battle formation.

The first row is a long pole with a length of five meters, and a cloth bag with lime powder is tied in front of it.

Behind them are two rows of heavy shieldmen and five rows of archers covered with arrows, and behind them are mobile throwers and infantry with painted halberds and waist knives.

The triangular battle array was lined up. Qianping saw that his son's arrangement was completed, and with a wave of his arm, 5000 cavalry were divided into two teams, and [-] people from left and right attacked.

Bows and arrows, long poles, and the formation of the shock team flow disrupted the cavalry's attack route.

The cavalry commander thought that the opponent was just blindly defending. The triangular formation suddenly changed into a wild goose formation to outflank the cavalry.

"That's how you win?" Emperor Qianyuan was a little surprised.

Qian Yue came back, nodded to Shen Luo, and Shen Luo returned the courtesy.

"How does it feel to be practical?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

Qian Yue glanced at her father Qian Ping.

General Qianda replied: "In such a battle formation, if the top and bottom can be aligned and the offense and defense are strictly prohibited, it will definitely be a killer weapon against the cavalry."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "For the first batch of generals to go to the northwest, change to another person, and stay there for a period of time, practice for a while, and go to the second batch."

Qian Yue breathed a sigh of relief, it's not that he doesn't know the weirdness of the northwest, and he calculated the time in his heart, but really wanted to prepare and bring a strong army there.

"A Luo, tell me, how do you want me to reward you?" Emperor Qianyuan presided over today's family dinner at the Shen Mansion in the evening, and there were still so many people.

Shen Luo frowned: "I don't want to go to the northwest this year."

Emperor Qianyuan snorted and said, "Are you so sure that I will send you there?"

"I want to go." Shen Luo said.

"Oh?" Brother Lan was curious: "Ah Luo, I don't understand you anymore. It's you who don't want to go, and you who want to go. What do you think?"

Shen Luo looked at Big Brother Lan: "I'm going to grab merit now, it doesn't make any sense, and I will even become a thorn in the side of others, not to mention that I can't get it done, and the road ahead may be full of thorns. I have an idea, I think I can do it. As for whether others can do it, I don't think too much about it. Although I didn't go to the Northwest, I have already planned for it. Maybe I don't need to go, and things in the Northwest can be handled better. This is Everyone is happy. If it doesn’t work, it’s reasonable for me to go again.”

Lan Fulang looked at Shen Luo's unhurried character, and nodded: "You think so, it's very suitable for the ups and downs of the officialdom."

Emperor Qianyuan listened to their conversation, but did not speak.

While sitting and drinking tea at night, Guowei asked Shen Luo: "Don't you think that the common people in the world may suffer because of your delay?"

Shen Luo shook his head: "Time is fate, and it cannot be changed by one person. Natural disasters and man-made disasters can be dealt with aftermath. No one has been able to predict everything before the enemy and prevent the outbreak of man-made disasters early."

When Guowei heard it, he felt a little sad when he thought of the entanglement of more than two decades, but he had to agree with Shen Luo's statement.

"The first batch wasn't Qian Yueran, which is troublesome!" Yun Changkong said in a deep breath.

King De looked at him: "How should I say it?"

"Qian Yueran has been rooted in the Northwest for a long time. He is Zhuo Yifan's beloved general and Qianping's eldest son. No matter what, he went to the Northwest and walked on the front line. When something happened, all parties should pay attention to it. It's much bigger." Yun Changkong looked at King De: "But Wynn is going now, but he is a mud-legged person. If something happens to a person like him, he will sacrifice his life for the country at most. Say something in the court and issue an imperial edict. What else can I do if I chase it down?"

"Yunmo hasn't entered the northwest yet?" King De asked.

"All the people I sent were eliminated. This is a warning to me not to let my son interfere." Yun Changkong said angrily.

"The visitor is not kind!" King De closed his eyes slightly: "I don't believe it, Zhuo Yifan is an incompetent person, I'm afraid he will be restrained too."

Yun Changkong clapped his hands: "But if Yun Mo doesn't leave, it won't make sense. Do you have any good ideas?"

De Wang thought for a while: "I sent a group of masters to meet him and let him walk slowly in front of Wynn. There is a large army hanging behind him. I don't believe it. The other party really dares to fight in front of 1 people."

Yun Changkong thought for a while, but couldn't say anything.

"If all the roads and bridges out of the city are built, one after the other, it will cost more than 100 million taels of silver. This is the budget of all migrant workers." Under the leadership of Shen Luo, Jin Hua went to the surrounding areas to investigate.

"This won't work. Tell the surrounding people that all villages need access roads, and they need to provide labor to take care of one meal and nothing else," Shen Luo said.

"This, I'm afraid the people will resist it!" Jian Cong said after thinking about it.

"You have to take out the previous plan, and each village has to be developed separately. If there is a lot of water, dig ponds to raise fish, grow lotus root and pick lotus seeds, you need to support them. If you want to transform wetlands, you need to support them when applying for licenses and taxes. A certain amount of support. For those with many mountains, plan to plant sweet potatoes, black taro, and fruit trees and breed them, and support those who dare to cover the top of the mountain, as well as taxation. In addition, vegetable fields, paddy fields, and dry land must be given corresponding support Planning, I want to let the villages around the imperial capital have their own characteristics, and the villages have sideline businesses. The 200 million people in the imperial capital can basically be self-sufficient. What do they have to say about road construction like this?" Shen Luo said his thoughts .

"My lord's proposal is good, it has pointed out the way out for the people of the imperial capital!" Jin Hua sighed.

"The way I pointed out is good, and there must be a practical way to promote it. You officials at all levels must be able to understand the people's sentiments, put down your arrogance, understand it with reason and move it with emotion, and let the people voluntarily participate in this matter. Let everyone believe that this is something that benefits the country and the people." Shen Luo said.

"Your Majesty would like to follow your lord's instruction!" The accompanying officials saluted together.

The Yin Yamen of the imperial capital is very determined to expand a new road while the original road remains unchanged.The new road follows the old road, the new road is built first, and the old road follows.Then level off together to form a three-car parallel straight.

As soon as the news came out, there was discussion in the imperial capital for a while. Some people said that Shen Luo was a little bit overwhelmed, and some said that he wanted to make meritorious deeds and was crazy.Some people also said that Shen Luo was able to do this because he had the imperial power to open the way, otherwise something would have happened long ago; some people also said that Shen Luo's actions were all part of a performance, and the emperor wanted him to be the king of the world. student's example.

No matter how much he was acting as a show, there was a lot of discussion, and officials under the Imperial Capital Government were sent out to mobilize the surrounding area.

There is a certain amount of compensation for the occupied fields, and the characteristic planning of each village has also been carefully distinguished in the early stage.

Baili Songran was in charge of coordinating the officials below, and Jian Cong did the actual planning and road planning, from near to far, from simple to complex.

Shen's study room became a full-time map room, and various planning drawings were pasted all over the walls.

Shen Luo likes to sit here when he has nothing to do, watching and thinking, now it is not a big problem to hand over [-] houses a month, Shen Luo's South City renovation, wharf construction, and road construction are all progressing in an orderly manner.

As a hands-off shopkeeper, he did it very comfortably, and even Emperor Qianyuan was a little envious, secretly sending more memorials to him for review.

"Sir, how can you not be in a hurry when you are doing so many big things?" The kid Yin Junwen asked Shen Luo curiously.

"You have to do everything yourself, that's what you call an official. Everything is determined after planning. Knowing and employing people is an official. Do you want to be an official or an official?" Shen Luo asked him.

"Huh?" Yin Junwen scratched his head and thought: "Shouldn't officials and officials be put together?"

Xiao Shitou looked at him: "Knowing and employing people depends on your understanding of things. You must have extraordinary insight before you can instruct others, otherwise it will be empty talk."

Yin Junwen nodded: "Stone is still right, I have to study these things hard."

Shen Luo looked at them, feeling comforted: "Tomorrow, Prime Minister Dong Nan will take you to the old southern city to have a look, to see the old wooden houses, and then to see the new market. Only by comparing the two sides can we know the sufferings of the people. In addition, you Learn to ask with your mouth, ask what you want to know, ask the answer you want to know, so that you can increase the knowledge in books."

The adults in the room couldn't help nodding, they had heard about Shen Luo's stocking education, but they had to accept it.
