On April 20, 693 in the Continental Calendar, accompanied by the Qingyang First Guard Division led by Kamapov, I returned to Qingyang Fucheng, where I had been away for more than a month. Originally, I wanted to let the Qingyang First Guard Division stay in Jinzhou for a while, but Liang Chongxin and Mulige quickly stepped into the role. The military training was very impressive, and both the local soldiers in Jinzhou and the Gaoyue tribe The soldiers were very supportive and cooperative, which made me change my mind. It would be better to let Liang and Mu take charge alone, or they could be trained and trained, not to mention that Ling Tian was there to take charge.
Psychologically, I feel that Qingyang is more prosperous and lively than when I left. When I entered Fucheng with the army, I was spontaneously welcomed by the people of Qingyang. The enthusiastic scene made me unable to calm down for a long time. Unexpectedly, I I have only been away for more than a month, but to see such an exciting scene. Qingyang has indeed become an unforgettable and missing place in my heart.
Sitting in the city guard's house, it seems that everything in Qingyang is running according to the designed track, and the enthusiasm for immigrants is still unabated. In just these short forty days, more than 50,000 people have moved into Qingyang. The total population of Yang Mansion has exceeded the 700,000 mark, and the number of businessmen coming to invest and start businesses has also continued to increase, and the entire economy is operating well. The construction of urban municipal facilities is also becoming more and more perfect. The auxiliary facilities for urban defense construction, sewage facilities for urban residents, and street reconstruction and expansion projects have all been completed one after another. Even the greening projects in the gaps between streets have begun to be gradually improved. It seems that Su Minshun's work has been carried out. It's quite sensual.
As early as after I entered Jinzhou, I asked Mo Lun to succeed Ling Tianfang and concurrently serve as the director of the Qingyang Mansion Intelligence Agency. At the same time, I also ordered him to step up the collection of internal intelligence from Luo Bei and the empire to prepare for the upcoming war in the second half of the year. Be prepared. The War Preparedness Department has also done a very good job. The construction of military horse farms has begun to take shape. Some nomadic people who are skilled breeders have also been recruited. The work of training war horses has also been gradually launched.
The military training also carried out large-scale military training and competitions in accordance with my requirements, striving to select and excavate some talents from grassroots soldiers to serve as grassroots officers through military training and competitions. This form has also achieved quite good results, and a large number of very good Talented young people stand out and are promoted to leadership positions at all levels.
I have read the briefings for more than a month, and overall I am very satisfied with them. But there is a worrying side. The continued deterioration of the financial situation has put Qingyang's finances, which had a large amount of funds as backing, into trouble. The fiscal reserves have reached a low figure close to the warning line. However, due to the implementation of tax reduction and exemption policies, fiscal revenue is almost blank. Except for some transit tariffs (there is no transit tariff exemption for goods in the recovery plan, but considering attracting popularity, Xiao Tang still adjusted the transit tariff for goods to a very low level, far lower than the levels elsewhere.), there is no more Other incomes, such as military expansion, construction of urban defense facilities, infrastructure (streets, roads, municipalities, farmland water conservancy facilities, etc.), early immigration micro-loans, administrative agency and military expenditures, etc. are like a black hole that cannot be filled, and a large amount of The funds were devoured.
I also know that these must be paid for urban revitalization and development. The funds are consumed too fast, and replenishment takes time. It turns out that the first two batches of support funds promised to Qingyang by the Empire Central Committee have been received, and the last one must be It won’t be available until July this year. Money, money, is really connected to fate. Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible. I can’t remember which celebrity once said this, but it is quite close to my current situation. Fortunately, Jinzhou has been taken into my hands. The financial inventory of Jinzhou is still enough to support the two governments for half a year. After all, I still have to thank Wang Shiqi for the legacy he left behind.
"Mo Lun, what have been the recent changes in the situation in various parts of the mainland?" I squinted my eyes and looked at Mo Lun's slimmer figure.
"Recently, there have been some changes in the situation in various places. Taken together, there are several aspects." Molun shook his head and began to report, with a look of a proud villain on his face.
"Recently, the empire has reached an agreement with the Kingdom of Dodon on jointly combating Japanese pirates in the eastern sea. The naval fleets of the two countries have begun joint patrols. It is estimated that it will be effective this year. This was work that the empire should have carried out last year, but due to The special envoy of the Kingdom of Dodon was attacked by an unidentified assassin in the embassy of the imperial capital last year and was seriously injured, so there has been a delay. An uprising of the Mao and Shahe tribes broke out in Tiannan County, but they have been attacked by the Tiannan Second Army formed last year. The suppression has now subsided. The Guishan and Niudang tribes in Sanjiang County also broke out in uprising, but it seemed that the rebels were not united within themselves and were quickly suppressed by the local security forces."
Taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, Molun continued his report: "The relationship between the southern Macchi Khanate and the empire has continued to heat up. According to the local newspaper, the relationship between the two countries has entered a honeymoon period. But the Macchi Khanate has entered a honeymoon period. However, its army continues to conduct military exercises. The exercise areas are concentrated in its western border area, directed at the small city-states in the west, especially the Yue Jing Kingdom. The local situation is now quite tense, and these small countries and city-states have united to step up their war efforts. At the same time, they are constantly seeking diplomatic efforts and requesting mediation from the Tang River Empire, the Nanyang Alliance and the Kingdom of Milan to avoid war as much as possible. The empire and the Nanyang Alliance have sent missions to visit both sides, hoping to calm the conflict between the two parties."
I was immediately attracted by this news. The mission of the Macchi Khanate to improve relations with the empire has aroused my suspicion. Lei Juetian is not an idle person. I have heard about it for a long time. Their purpose of improving relations with the empire is definitely I want to free up my hands to deal with other forces nearby. The empire should be aware of it, and Milan and the Nanyang Alliance may be worried about their fate. But I didn't expect that the Macchi Khanate would take action so soon. Now it depends on how the empire responds. If the military actions of Machi Khan are not controlled, the fate of these small city-states in the southwest of the empire will be worrying. Even if they all unite, they will not be an opponent of the army of Machi Khan. It's a pity that Ling Tianfang is not around, otherwise we can have a good discussion with him about how the empire will respond and whether it dares to bet on severing relations.
Look, I'm deep in thought. Molun also paused for a while knowingly, until I signaled him to continue, then he started again: "The situation in the north is relatively stable. The Principality of Jerok has repeatedly requested the empire to send troops to assist them in regaining Jiama City, but they were rejected by the empire based on the current situation. It is unstable and not suitable for large-scale military operations. We politely decline and hope that the Principality of Jerok will exercise restraint."
"There is another very important news that was just reported back. That is, the main military leaders of our biggest enemy, the Luobi people, have made major adjustments. The original expedition to the east was transferred to the west and changed to the west. Tu Da was appointed as the new commander of the expedition to the west. General, and in exchange for this, Ule, the original general who conquered the west, was appointed as the general who conquered the east."
"Oh?" This news made me, who had always been calm, couldn't help but stand up. "Tell me the details."
Molun was obviously prepared, and this guy became more and more aware of my temper. "The main reason was caused by the defeat in the war with the Chidi people last year. Because the first unit of the Western Expedition led by Uler was defeated in the southern war. , which also affected the outcome of the entire war, and Uler was also implicated. The Luobei nobles suffered huge losses in property and also suffered a greater loss in strength in the western expedition, so they united to put pressure on Wadeya, believing that Uler was no longer suitable As the leader of the first of the three Luobi tribes, Wadeya was forced to change Ule to the post of general of the eastern expedition, and Tu Da, who had performed well in the war, was appointed as the general of the western expedition. It is said that Tu Da responded to this Still not very satisfied, he expressed to Wadeya that he was unwilling to take up the post of General of the Conquest of the West, but preferred to take up his original position.”
"Talk about Ule's situation." Since Tu Da is no longer the most direct enemy, let's get rid of the guy who called Ule away.
"Uler is the most powerful general in the Luobi army. It is said that he is extremely powerful. He can split tigers and leopards with his hands. His weapon is a Xuanhua axe. He was the vanguard in all the wars with the Chidi people and was defeated many times. The Chidis and other nomadic peoples made great contributions to the Luobi people's dominance of the Eastern Tengger Grassland, and were also Wadeya's confidants. Although Wadeya was forced to adjust him to the east this time, he also gave him a He has added a large number of troops, and the strength of the troops in the eastern expedition has returned to the level before the war with the Chidi people, so I think he must want to prove his ability through the war in the east." Mo Lun was reading the information while also analyze.
"Stronger? Stronger or not, that's just a matter of sex. For women, you can't win a war just by being fierce." I laughed and made a joke, which eased the somewhat tense atmosphere. "By then, I think we will be strong enough to fight a big battle."
It seems that Xiao Tang and Mo Lun and Su Minshun have fully adapted to their respective jobs. Even if I am not around, they still do all the work well. Moreover, there are many things that I did not expect, and the three of them are able to discover and improve them in time. , I can completely let go of ordinary work, and I can free up more time to do what I want to do.
Dilena, who was lying under me, screamed for the third time that night due to orgasm. She was really exhausted, but the desire that had been suppressed for more than a month was finally relieved. Although Dilena had already had it, I was mentally prepared, but I still couldn't bear my enthusiasm.
"Sir, Lena is really dying. Didn't you bring a young lady back? Why don't you go to her place." Di Lena begged for mercy while gently expressing her love under me.
"That little girl, I haven't got her yet, but she can't hide for long." After trembling with extreme excitement, Direna actually fainted from excitement. I quickly secretly injected the zhenqi into her body, and she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master, you are so strong." I put her youthful and plump body in my arms, pulled a thin quilt over her, and fell asleep.
"I want to go find Li Wufeng!" When I woke up early in the morning, I heard the noise outside, "I'm sorry, Miss Lu, you haven't gotten up yet, why don't you stay for a while and come back." The guards' persuasion couldn't stop them at all. He stopped her and said, "It doesn't matter, let me wake him up." Following a burst of noise, the guards had no choice but to let her in because they didn't know the exact relationship between me and Lu Xianxian and couldn't stop her.
As soon as I stood up and Di Leina got off the ground before she could get dressed, Lu Xianxian barged in. However, the erotic scene in the room made her cheeks turn red with embarrassment, "Bah! Shameless!"
Di Leina also quickly covered her chest with her clothes and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Lu Xianxian.
"Who is shameless? You ran into a grown man's house early in the morning and said I was shameless." I said angrily, and then calmly pulled the quilt to cover my naked lower body. Di Leina also smiled, put on her clothes, and quietly went out. Only Lu Xianxian and I were left in the room.
Looking at my breasts, Lu Xianxian's face turned red with embarrassment, but her mouth was full of jealousy: "Who are you, she is so shameless, didn't you say that all your women are in the imperial capital? Why did you come here again?" Coming here?”
I closed my eyes and didn't want to talk to her.
"Speak." Seeing my appearance, Lu Xianxian felt ashamed and annoyed, and came closer, "Did I expose your background?"
"You're not me, so why do you care so much? She's my woman, her name is Direna, okay." I still looked indifferent.
"You," Lu Xianxian rushed forward in anger, "you promised to take me to play..." Before she could finish her words, I dragged her into my arms. The strong manly scent made the deer's slender body go crazy. I picked her up and placed her on my lap. With her confused eyes and rising and falling breasts, I couldn't bear it anymore. The unsatisfied desire last night was gone in an instant. It burned.
I gently covered her lips with my mouth, and pushed the tip of my tongue in. One hand held her waist, and the other hand reached into her bra without hesitation. I'm sorry. Since you agreed to come to Qingyang with me, you must be mentally prepared to become my woman, so don't blame me for being rude. You must break off the flowers when they are ready, but don’t wait until the flowers are empty and break off the branches. This old saying suddenly came to my mind.
Lu Xianxian was completely immersed in love, and her body collapsed in my arms. I simply hugged her into the bed and stripped her naked a few times. Only then did she react and struggled to carry her with me. I shouted in a crying tone: "No, don't...", I said in my heart, I'm sorry, it's too late now, and I blocked her small opening with my mouth, and then gently pulled her round and slender breasts with both hands. Spread your legs and lower your body.
I didn't take possession of her immediately. A girl's first time should be respected. I knew she was ready to receive me. Many years later, Lu Xianxian, who has become one of my concubines, still recalls that touching moment in my ears from time to time. Whenever I recall that moment, my body becomes as hot as fire.
