Chapter 877 National Events
Early the next morning, Zhou Xu prepared to return. Before leaving, he made new arrangements for the deployment of troops in Pingyuan City and even the New Taipei District, taking away a thousand garrison troops. .
He transferred these thousand garrison troops, naturally considering that there were still ratmen to deal with in the southern border and needed military support.
However, considering the location of Pingyuan City, the defense here cannot be slacked off.
In this way, he adjusted the number of garrison troops in other cities in New Taipei District.
Different from the initial capture, during this period, he carried out large-scale population transfers to the New Taipei District as usual to facilitate their population management.
Now that each city has basically stabilized, the number of garrison troops can also be appropriately reduced.
The reduced part will be transferred directly to Pingyuan City to ensure that there are 1,500 troops in Pingyuan City.
Under this premise, plus nearly two thousand skeleton soldiers transformed from the previous green-skinned troops, as well as Big Bone and Two Bones, as well as the fierce general Jie Liancheng.
Measure it from the perspective of combat power, it is at least three thousand levels! Only high, not low!
Bringing a thousand troops with him, by the time Zhou Xu returned to Xianyang, it was already early spring, and the journey was really from winter to spring.
Back in the palace, after Zhou Xu briefly washed up, he went to the Qinzheng Hall first as always.
Now Huo Qubing has been fully trained in his position as an auxiliary officer. With him handling government affairs, Zhou Xu feels relieved.
The reason why he rushed to Qinzheng Palace in a hurry now is because during his time in New Taipei District, he had completely organized the entire follow-up development plan.
In addition, he was in New Taipei District at the time, so he had even directly given instructions for some arrangements.
Of course, the subsequent mobilization of resources and labor must be contacted with the relevant departments in the New South District.
Due to the distance between the two places, the transmission of this message can be said to be inefficient. Zhou Xu is undoubtedly planning to do it himself to speed them up.
"Speaking of which, have Liu Jiefang's arrangements been settled?"
As their territory in the Greater Zhou Dynasty increases, the 'Remote Communications Department' headed by Liu Jiefang , and their workload continues to grow.
At this moment, the New Taipei District undoubtedly needs his help.
Facing the question, Huo Qubing moved his hands.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, arrangements have been made. Since the opening of the waterway connecting Black Moon City and Green Forest City, the transportation between the two places has become much more convenient. Half a month ago, Anling City just sent a message saying that Liu Jiefang has left the border and is heading towards Shangguan City."
After understanding the situation, Zhou Xu nodded and said nothing more.
The New Taipei District does lack carrier pigeons to improve the efficiency of daily communication between them, but the Old Continent including Black Moon City also needs them.
There are also many cities over there, and a sufficient number of homing pigeons need to be trained.
The workload in itself is not small at all.
Originally, Liu Jiefang was afraid that he would starve to death after teaching his apprentices. In addition, Yan Sheng's style was also very bad at the time, so he kept a hand, fearing that Yan Sheng would kill the donkey.
But now, the situation is obviously different. Compared with Yan Sheng, Zhou Xu's reputation is undoubtedly much better.
Because Zhou Xu is a very disciplined person to a large extent. As long as you don't commit any crime, your life can basically be saved.
Even considering that we are all 'fellows', no matter how useless you are, he will more or less arrange a suitable job for you. If you do it honestly, you won't be unable to survive.
This can be seen from Wang Pengfei.
This also gave Liu Jiefang a lot of peace of mind. Coupled with the increase in work pressure, in the past two years, he has slowly come up with his own skills and taught five apprentices one after another. , to help him share the important task of training homing pigeons.
At this moment, he also handed over the follow-up work of training carrier pigeons in the Old World to three of his apprentices, while he took the other two apprentices, received the order, and rushed to the New Taipei District Establish a division of 'Telecommunications Department'.
After arranging all the things at hand, Zhou Xu glanced at his desk, and then asked Huo Qubing.
"Qu Bing, I'm not here during this period. Are there any urgent and important documents waiting for me to deal with?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a few documents waiting for Your Majesty to review, but it is not an urgent matter."
Zhou Xu listened and nodded.
"Let's talk about it tomorrow." After this long journey, Zhou Xu was also very tired. He was not a tough guy. Since there was nothing important, let's wait until he had rested.
“Alas~”
Looking at His Majesty's leaving figures, Li Bowen couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.
Hearing the sigh, Huo Qubing, who was sitting opposite, raised his eyes.
"Why are Master Li sighing?"
After entering the Qinzheng Hall, he and Li Bowen were also considered colleagues.
The two of them sat there facing each other every day, not saying a word, which was unrealistic.
Over time, the two really became familiar with each other.
Now that he heard Li Bowen sigh, he also asked casually.
Li Bowen was also full of complaints and had nowhere to express his complaints. When Huo Qubing asked, he immediately poured out all his words towards the other party.
"Master Huo, you said that our Majesty keeps running out all year round, often for several months at a time. This..."
Listening to Li Bowen's complaints, Huo Qubing felt strange Glanced at him.
"Your Majesty, this is also for the development of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Some plans must be verified through on-site inspections."
His Majesty told him this truth at the beginning, but Huo Qubing's body was too weak to withstand such a situation earlier. toss.
But now that he is getting healthier, while reviewing documents and handling government affairs, he is also slowly starting some field investigations.
"Master Li, you don't even understand this, right?"
Faced with Huo Qubing's rhetorical question, Li Bowen laughed twice. He knew that this was his colleague. I'm trying to point him out, telling him to tell him what he has to say directly and not to waste time talking in circles.
Influenced by their majesty, Huo Qubing also pays attention to efficiency in everything he does and doesn't like to go round and round.
Although Li Bowen knew it, he could not change the habits he had developed over the years.
Thinking of this, Li Bowen couldn't help but let out two dry coughs.
"Ahem! The main reason is that our Majesty is always running around like this, and when he comes back, he is busy with government affairs all day long. How can he have time to carry on the family line? Mr. Huo, you see, His Majesty has had concubines for several years, but now We haven’t given birth to a prince or princess yet, which is really not conducive to the stability of our country!”
Don’t mention it, Huo Qubing agrees with Li Bowen’s words.
Huo Qubing himself was also deeply influenced by education here, so he naturally knew how important a descendant is to a country.
As a monarch, having no descendants means that the country has no successors.
If something happens to His Majesty and there is no heir to succeed him, wouldn't the Great Zhou Dynasty be plunged into huge turmoil?
“Master Li’s words make sense, why don’t you tell His Majesty directly?”
Li Bowen looked stern.
"My little girl is now the concubine Shu in the palace. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to tell your majesty about this."
"..."
Although Huo Qubing is a bit more straight-tempered, He was not stupid, and he quickly understood Li Bowen's concerns.
“So, Mr. Li, you want me to go down and give advice to Your Majesty?”
“Your Majesty’s family affairs are also national affairs for our great Zhou Dynasty, so I can only ask you. Master Huo!”
"..."
