This year, the temperature in the north is generally high, and with sufficient moisture, the crops in Star City have also matured some days earlier.

First came peanuts, cotton, sweet potatoes, followed by wheat sorghum.

More than 10,000 strong laborers in Star City all went to the fields.

The horses were all brought back from the horse farm, and with the help of the new farming tools, the harvest was much faster than expected.

However, the strong laborers were also half exhausted.

Especially those who have eaten at Lao Liutou's.

After a few days of darkness, he lay on the ground, claiming that he would not be able to get up even if he died.

However, after a few howls, he got on his horse again.

With 3,000 people, he followed Qin Qi south, and after crossing the Songshan High Ridge, he galloped for another day and arrived at a plain land more than 500 miles away from Star City.

Compared to Star City, the terrain here is more flat, and it is a plain land formed by the impact of several large rivers, and if you step on it, you can flow oil.

Moreover, the rivers are crisscrossed, the banks are grasslands, and the valleys are dense forests.

Two hundred miles further down is the great mountain that separates the plain from the land of Liaodong.

When Qin Qi led them to the high ground next to the river beach, piles of wood and rocks were already piled up on it.

Qin Qi didn't answer those questions about how these things were there, but directly ordered.

To build a house, first build a village where people can live.

Three thousand men worked hard for three days.

When a village that can live for thousands of people is erected.

The Xuan Yiwei of the Han family arrived with a group of family members.

Seeing that line that had stretched for an unknown amount of time, Qin Qi finally knew how these people had been walking for so long.

One cart after another was pulled by oxen, and the convoy included not only women, children, and old people, but also many livestock.

Most of them are calves and litters of piglets.

In this way, if you want to go to Star City, I'm afraid that there will be a month to make it......

Han Chun, the steward of the Han family, also had a headache, this is summer, I have walked for so long from Jinzhou, the weather is cold, the snow is a little, if you can't get to the place, not to mention those livestock, people can't stand it.

And, when they came over, there were a lot of people in the team who didn't want to go any further.

One is that the Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be, and the other is that it is only August, and it is cold here, and at night, the cold wind is together, and it is necessary to cover the quilt.

What does it have to be cold in winter?

Hearing that it was colder further north, many old people said that they would rather go back and be killed than suffer that pain.

So when I saw Qin Qi leading the team to pick it up in person, and then I saw the flat ground rising, it was a newly built village at a glance.

Han Chun's tears fell.

As soon as I entered the village again, I saw that the houses were sturdy and frost-proof, and the fire kang bath room was all available, and there were even thick quilts and leather mattresses on the kang.

Han Chun took the lead, and all the Han family members, including those who said strange things first, knelt down for Qin Qi.

There are thousands of Xuanyi guards left behind by Han Yuan, and the capable people and their families who can come in handy have stayed in Jiangnan, and these people who go north have limited ability, except for farming and fishing, they have no other livelihood.

But with the name of the Han family, if the people in Jiangnan really do something to the Han family, they are the least capable of self-protection.

Therefore, when the chills were said at the beginning, everyone agreed.

It's just that I really didn't expect that Han Yuan entrusted them with such a person.

Qin Qi smiled and asked people to lead those people to resettle, and he took a few leaders of the Han family into the main hall of the village.

As soon as he sat down, Qin Qi said: "I won't go around in circles, my agreement with the eldest son of Han is to give you shelter and give you a place where you can live freely, you should also see it along the way, the land here is very fertile, as long as you put a little effort into farming, the income will not be worse than Jiangnan, if you are not used to living, then, when the Han family's affairs in Jiangnan are over, you can also go back." ”

"General Qin!" Han Chun got up and bowed.

But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Qin Qi: "There is no need to be polite in the spring steward, I am a direct person, I will say it directly, this piece used to be a no-man's land, and the mountains below, it was difficult for the Chu army to climb over, and the Xuanyi guards who escorted you up this time can voluntarily stay to protect your safety, of course, if there is something, you can also send someone to the north, and then to the north, I have a sentry post there, you hand over a letter, and the star city above can come down to help." ”

"I will provide you with security, and I can also provide human help in clearing the fields, including the farm tools and seeds that you don't have, but." Qin Qi smiled slightly: "I also have requirements, that is, first, this is your place of refuge, I don't want anyone else to come, and I don't want others to know, and second, in the annual harvest, I want to collect a part of the tax, okay?" ”

"No, no problem." Han Chun was stunned for a moment and said: "General, what the eldest prince Han told us is that the harvest is at the disposal of the general, but the general will ensure that we have enough food and clothing, and will also give a certain amount of silver taels a year." ”

Seeing Qin Qi's eyebrows raised, Han Chun hurriedly said: "General don't worry, it's like this, a few of us are also sending people over, and after we settle down, we will go back to Jiangnan, over there, there is still a large area of your industry that needs to be managed, the people here are all our close relatives, people are good people, and they can do things, but when it comes to business, they don't have this ability." ”

Qin Qi was silent for a moment, and secretly despised Han Yuan in his heart.

That guy, he's got him again!

This means that those who are capable stay in Jiangnan, and those who come over are those who are old-aged.

Therefore, it doesn't matter what they can do for the first time, but they must be fed and drunk, and the annual pension money must be given.

However, Hanchun is also right.

The fleet given by Han Yuan, coupled with so many industries in Jiangnan, I don't know how much income a year will be.

And as long as the safety of these people is ensured, the Xuanyi guards who stay in Jiangnan and run the boat will be faithful and reliable.

The money was not unjustly paid.

In this way, his decision could not have been more correct.

The climate in this place is much better than that of Star City, and since farming is too tiring, then simply graze and breed.

Anyway, Star City's food is enough to feed them!

"I see." Qin Qi nodded and said: "I will leave some more people down, and then see if there is anything else that needs to be added, and when I am done with the above, I will send some people down to open the fields for you, and then send some grain and vegetables down." ”

Several stewards suddenly smiled and squinted, got up to salute, and said loudly: "Small, thank you general!" ”

This is the official confession of the Lord.

Qin Qi smiled, said no need to be polite, and took a few of them out again.

Let's see, what else is needed is not.

As soon as I went out, I saw a group of women and children talking around Gu Xinyue.

The woman kept asking Gu Xinyue what the stove was for? What is a fire kang for? Why is there a special house made of pine wood, and what is the fire pit left outside the house for?

As for the children......

They all stared at Xiao Jiu above Gu Xinyue's head.

And Xiao Jiu was pecking Gu Xinyue's head in protest strongly.

It's time to feed it, and there's no meat!
