"Could it be that the envoy also plans to use Zheng Baiqu to recruit refugees as river workers?"

Zhang Jia was extremely surprised by Lu Zhishan's speculation, he originally thought that Qin Jin's recruitment was just to replenish the troops, but now it seems that it is far from being as simple as he thought before. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lu Zhishan shook his head, "I'm not sure what Qin Envoy Jun thinks now, it's just a little guess." ”

The uncertain speculation suddenly cast a shadow of anxiety on Zhang Jia's heart.

"So, then, how should my brother deal with it?"

Seeing Zhang Jia's bottomless heart, Lu Zhishan smiled.

"Brother Zhang, don't worry, Qin Envoy Jun will not treat you badly!"

For two days in a row, Zhang Jia spent time in speculation and apprehension, and the 30,000 people he brought with him were roughly all registered with their hometowns, and then their hometowns were disrupted and divided into more than a dozen battalions, which were resettled separately. The responsible personnel of each battalion were served by people sent by Qin and Jin, and listening to the accents of these people, there were all kinds of people, including those from Dugi Province and those related to China, and even some of them were from Hebei.

But no matter what, he, the leader, has completely lost the leadership and control of the 30,000 people.

Every day, Zhang Jia was arranged to do some strange formation drills with the people of the first battalion. Obviously, this kind of drill should be the basic training in the Shenwu Army, but it is too difficult for the vast majority of people. It is difficult for some strong people to let some people who can't even distinguish between left and right to distinguish between left and right. But those who are in charge of training don't care about this and still force them to train.

Fortunately, food and drink were well supplied, and even though the content of the training was smack-dropping, there was no expression of their dissatisfaction and protest.

In the end, in the midst of torment and apprehension, Zhang Jia waited for Qin Jin's summons again.

Seeing Qin Jin again, Zhang Jia's sense of superiority when he was first recruited was completely gone, and after the initial training, he was horrified to find that he had become a dispensable person, so he no longer dared to support himself.

And Qin Jin can still take the initiative to summon him, which means that he still has value to use, otherwise, with Qin Jin's identity, how could he be specially summoned in his busy schedule?

In this way, Zhang Jia, who had been nervous, relaxed a little.

"The sinner Zhang Jia visited the envoy and made the king safe......"

This time, Zhang Jia paid a big salute, and Qin Jin never got up to help him up. However, Zhang Jia did not have the slightest emotion and dissatisfaction, he was only secretly glad that he woke up early, otherwise he would have died a long time ago without a place to be buried.

Indeed, at the beginning of being recruited by Lu Zhishan, Zhang Jia had an inexplicable sense of superiority in his heart, he was able to bring 30,000 people to Qin Jin, and he would definitely be relied on by Qin Jin, and no matter how bad it was, it would be a different view.

Therefore, in terms of attitude, it was inevitable that he was a little arrogant and arrogant, but after a few days of direct or indirect contact with the Shenwu Army, he realized that Qin Jin was just formulaic politeness and politeness to him.

In addition, Lu Zhishan had told him before leaving Jiangxian that Qin Jin seemed to intend to use these people as coolies, not as soldiers. The previous sense of superiority is now gone.

In the final analysis, it was only at this time that Zhang Jia faced up to the most basic question, that is, how could the Shenwu Army accept so many refugees of unknown origin into the army? Moreover, even if the Shenwu Army lacked soldiers, there were not a few river workers in his river engineering battalion, and several battalions were recruited at will, at least in the tens of thousands of people.

"Captain Zhang, please take a seat!"

Qin Jin let Zhang Jia, who was stunned on the spot, take a seat, and Zhang Jia woke up like a dream, and quickly got up and sat on the seat prepared for him by the servant. It's just that this time he didn't dare to sit down anymore, but bowed slightly, making a solemn listen, ready to get up and thank you at any time.

Seeing Zhang Jia's trembling appearance, Qin Jin knew that the past few days of his neglect had an effect, allowing him to recognize his situation.

"The county commander of Lu should have handed over to Captain Zhang, and the follow-up arrangements for the 30,000 people under your subordinates ......"

Unexpectedly, Qin Jin would get straight to the point, Zhang Jia was surprised, but also faintly sweated on his face, and the time to decide their fate had arrived.

"Everything depends on Qin Envoy Jun's placement!"

"Very good, what I am waiting for is Captain Zhang's words. Seeing that it is autumn, the population of Jiangzhou has halved, and it is not a way to see a large area of land barren. Therefore, Qin decided to use your subordinates to reuse the wasteland on the spot. ”

"Tuntian?"

Zhang Jia opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it for a long time. He had guessed 10,000 possibilities before he came, but he just couldn't imagine that Qin Jin would actually use them to Tuntian. Farming is the duty of these people, and compared to the heavy hard labor, Tuntian is really beautiful, and it can't be more beautiful.

"Exactly, does Captain Zhang have any objections?"

Zhang Jia hurriedly got up and saluted and thanked him.

"On behalf of the sinners, on behalf of the people, thank you!"

Qin Jin waved his hand.

"You are innocent, so why do you keep calling yourself a sinner?

"Yes, yes...... Obey the Envoy's ......"

This time, Zhang Jia's heart was filled with warmth again, he originally thought that the end would be worrying, but he didn't expect it to be a false alarm, but looking at Qin Envoy's attitude, he was still quite kind, and a hanging heart was like a boulder falling to the ground, completely put down.

Tuntian was already set by Qin Jin when he had the idea of recruiting the rebellious people in Fenbei, he knew that it was absolutely impossible to feed more people with the current financial resources of the Shenwu army, and now with the wealth and food of several counties, it was a little difficult to supply the existing army, if it was several times more, I am afraid it would be even more difficult for him to smash the pot and sell iron.

In order to accumulate physical strength, two meals a day are essential, and the people used for tuntian can be changed to two meals a day, mainly for a full stomach.

This kind of food distribution is also a matter of impartiality, in the absence of food and clothing, we can only do our best not to starve to death, as for food and clothing is another matter.

If you don't know that firewood and rice are expensive, although Qin Jin is only the Taishou of one county now, he actually holds the military and political power of several counties, and there are so many places to use money and grain that he can't believe it. There is always a feeling of inadequacy, in fact, it is like covering ten pots with eight lids, no matter how hard you try, there are always two pots without lids.

There is no way to do this, the current situation is like this, the rebels have crossed the border, and after a big war, the situation like Jiangzhou is already the best. It's hard to imagine what the war-torn counties of Gyekro and Togi will look like.

Qin Jin doesn't have the mood and energy to think about other counties now, as long as he does one thing well, that is, to seize the time to organize the chaotic people after Zhao'an, and make every effort to do a good job in Tuntian. Although this year's harvest was completely dry, the land could not be left uncultivated, and seeing that the day of winter wheat planting was approaching, the next year's harvest could not be delayed in any way.

After becoming a magistrate, Qin Jin had realized that grain was the most important commodity in the world, and even the allure of gold and silver to him had retreated behind grain. The reason is simple, gold and silver are dug out of the mines, and once they enter circulation, they will not be lost, so they can only increase more and more. And the grain is different, the annual output of the entire Tang Dynasty is so much, after people eat horses and chew, as well as various losses, there is very little that can be hoarded, and now there is a war again, and the food consumed will increase exponentially. Grain, on the other hand, is very different from gold and silver, and once it has been eaten and burned, it will have to wait for the next year's harvest to have new grain.

Such a slow renewal cycle is destined to be a more precious material than gold and silver in times of war and disasters.

This year is not only in the midst of war, but also in the season of great drought. Everywhere there is an unimagined shortage of food, but the harvest in the fields has been cut off or greatly reduced due to a severe drought.

I am afraid that after autumn, the threat of food shortage will become even more imminent.

Therefore, while Qin and Jin attached importance to the strategy of the large army, they also paid more attention to the grain hoarding work in the counties under their control. He can't control other counties and counties, at least where he can, he must not let them go.

After the war, the people fled their hometowns one after another, and the original household registration relationship has long been disrupted, and most of the public land and Yongye land in various places have become ternullius. The only way to recover as soon as possible, Qin Jin could think of, was to concentrate manpower and carry out tuntian in the form of collective production.

In this way, it not only solved the urgent need of Tuntian, but also gave the rebellious people who fled from all over the country a place to live.

While anxiously waiting for Lu Qi's war report after entering Zezhou, Qin Jin sent several official documents in succession and sent them to various places, the main purpose of which was to immediately prepare for grain planting and launch large-scale tuntian fields in various counties and counties. In addition to the old fields, Qin Jin also planned to develop wasteland as much as he could.

There is a huge potential to be exploited in the co-production of manpower, and it is much more efficient than the scattered farmers who fought separately in the past.

After the tens of thousands of chaotic people in Fenbei recruited peace, they could make the best use of them, and after giving them enough work, they could naturally work in peace and earn food.

Not only that, Qin Jin also promised that he would solve the problems of food, clothing, and housing for them as soon as possible. Especially after autumn is over, the cold winter, the problem of clothing and housing is also very urgent.

Now the weather is still warm, as long as the problem of food is solved, it is guaranteed that no one will die, but once the winter comes, if the warmth is not enough, in addition to starvation, more people will die of cold.

Therefore, Tuntian was not a temporary policy, and the Qin and Jin Dynasty divided the tens of thousands of people who arrived in Jiangxian County into at least five batches and sent them to Tuntian in the main counties, and at the same time built houses on the spot for the coming winter to keep warm.

Zhang Jia's battalion was left in Jiangxian County, and their daily work was not only to level the fields, but also to cut down trees and build houses. It's just that the houses built are not the type of single-family houses, and they are often built in large areas, which can accommodate dozens of people.

After finishing work, they were divided into teams and lived in the big houses that had been built.
