Before the house is confiscated, the enemy's warehouse is emptied and exiled

Compared to everyone's panic, Xiao Heng was much calmer.

The reason was simple, simply because Shen Qingge had revealed many details to him in the past two days and told him that he had arranged everything.

Admittedly, the Zhenbei Army is not an easy opponent to deal with, but they still have a trump card in their hands - the Water Qilin!

While the Water Qilin lacked the scheming of humans and possessed a relatively simpler personality, its strength was not to be underestimated. It was no exaggeration to say that even a single opponent standing alone against ten thousand would not be a difficult task for the Water Qilin.

However, even with such powerful support, Shen Qingge still did not forget to repeatedly remind Xiao Heng to be cautious and careful in everything.

Before those people are completely cleared of suspicion, try to reduce going out as much as possible and it is best not to step out of the palace easily.

After all, as the saying goes, "It is easy to dodge a spear but hard to guard against an arrow from the dark." No one can predict where the enemy will suddenly attack from.

After Shen Qingge completed all the arrangements, he quickly shifted the focus of his work to the construction of city fortifications and the dispatch of troops to assist the people in reclaiming wasteland.

Deep in her heart, she always had a strong premonition:

Xiao Mo will never give up!

Before this, when the Kingdom of Nanyue was just established, Xiao Mo had just ended a fierce confrontation with Marshal Liu Fu that lasted for more than a month. He was exhausted and unable to take care of himself.

But now, times have changed. After just one or two months of rest and recuperation, he must have recovered a lot of his strength.

In addition, the remnants of the Zhenbei Army turned against them and chose to flee to Lingnan, which undoubtedly made Xiao Mo feel deeply fearful.

It can be predicted that he will rack his brains and use all means to prevent the continuous development and growth of the Kingdom of Nanyue.

As a result, it is almost certain that a fierce battle will break out between the two sides.

However, as to when this war will start, Shen Qingge is unable to judge at the moment.

Because of this, Shen Qingge would feel a little more at ease if the city towers were repaired as soon as possible, especially the completion of the city wall.

On the other hand, the task of reclaiming wasteland is only half completed. If enough wasteland cannot be successfully reclaimed for farming before the spring plowing season in the near future, this year's grain harvest will not improve much.

So, Shen Qingge was busy every day, from the moment the sky was just getting light until the night completely enveloped the earth, and he had no time to even take a breath.

Fortunately, after ten days of close surveillance, Su Mu finally brought reassuring news:

"Master, based on my observations, these soldiers must have come here to surrender sincerely.

During this period of time, I have been secretly eavesdropping in a valley not far from here day and night, and I have never noticed any sign of rebellion in their conversations.

I wonder what you think, Master? Do you still need me to continue monitoring here?"

Hearing this, Shen Qingge stared quietly at Su Mu's mature appearance, and a feeling of relief welled up in her heart. She raised her hand without hesitation and gave Su Mu a thumbs up, her face full of appreciation.

After a brief pause, Shen Qingge narrowed his eyes slightly and began to think seriously.

After a while, she said softly with a smile on her face:

"No need! As long as the officers above the battalion level don't have the intention to rebel, then even if the other ordinary soldiers want to make trouble, they won't be able to cause any big waves.

After all, how could a small episode affect the development of the entire situation?

We just need to be more careful in our daily lives."

So, just one or two days later, Shen Qingge carefully arranged a meeting so that Xiao Heng and the ministers in the court could meet with Captain Wu and others.

This meeting was of extraordinary significance, as it could be said to be a formal acceptance of the surrender of the remnants of the Zhenbei Army.

It is worth mentioning that Captain Wu’s official position did not change and he was still a sixth-rank official. His salary increased by 10% on the original basis.

However, the unit they belonged to had a new name - Tiger Wing Army.

This nice-sounding name contains a profound meaning, symbolizing that this army can be as brave and invincible as a tiger with wings, and can overcome all obstacles.

So, since being recruited into Shen Qingge's army, these soldiers naturally could no longer live an idle life.

Considering that the number of soldiers used to build city towers in each county was relatively sufficient and complete, Shen Qingge decisively ordered these soldiers to be sent to the three counties to carry out tasks such as reclaiming wasteland, digging canals, and guiding water to irrigate farmland.

With the support of this group of well-trained soldiers, the originally arduous and long task of land reclamation progressed extremely quickly.

In just less than half a month, the amount of wasteland reclaimed by the Kingdom of Nanyue has already occupied half of the wasteland area!

This outstanding achievement was not only attributed to the hard-working soldiers and common people, but also to Xiao Heng, the king of a country, who set an example by personally participating in this vigorous land reclamation movement.

Whenever he had a little free time, he would study various books and works on agriculture and forestry with Shen Qingge, Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhangqiu and other ministers.

Of course, these books are still attributed to Shen Qingge. Even Zhangqiu jokingly calls her a "treasure box". She has more agricultural and forestry books than the one collected by him, the Minister of Agriculture.

They conducted in-depth research and fully combined the complex and special topographical features of the Lingnan region, which is mountainous and mainly hilly, to carefully conceive and ingeniously design a variety of field types such as terraced fields, walled fields, lake fields, dam fields and pond fields.

Its ultimate goal is nothing more than to expand the actual area of ​​arable land within the territory of Nanyue as much as possible, thereby increasing the output value of grain.

Following this series of innovative measures comes the question of how to widely promote and apply these new and unique field types.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is already March.

It is the annual spring plowing season, and the vast fields are full of bustling and busy scenes.

On such a sunny and breezy day, everyone's mood involuntarily became particularly comfortable and happy.

Shortly after the morning court ended, Xiao Heng, who was concerned about the people's livelihood, could not wait to lead a group of court officials out of the palace, set foot on the country roads, and go to various places to inspect the specific results of spring plowing work.

When everyone looked into the distance, they saw that the vast expanses of barren land in the past had now been transformed into fertile and fruitful farmland.

Moreover, each piece of field has been carefully planned and laid out, with clear boundaries between them and arranged neatly and orderly, just like a beautiful pastoral painting slowly unfolding before the world.

This scene made everyone present overjoyed, and their hearts were filled with indescribable excitement and excitement.

Xiao Heng and Cong Shen Qingge could not contain their inner joy at this time. They looked at each other involuntarily and then laughed softly.

Looking at the increasingly prosperous land before my eyes, and recalling those days of hard work day and night, all the sweat and hard work seem so worth it at this moment.
