After eating, most of the officials went back to deal with their work, and only some people from high positions accompanied Zhu Biao to discuss the planning of the people's land reclamation.

The prefect of Fengyang means that since there are still nearly 100,000 people, instead of scattering villages, it is better to establish a larger town in a unified manner, so that it is better to concentrate manpower and material resources.

The map of Fengyang Mansion was placed on the table, and the villages and towns had to be carefully sketched on it, and the originally empty villages were also filled with more than 100,000 people in front, although some could be stuffed in.

However, the natural resources near a village are limited, and there are only a few pieces of fertile land, and no matter how much wasteland is not suitable for farming, there is no way, not to mention that Zhu Biao's plan is to stimulate population development, so he has to leave rations for newborns, even if the arable land of each household in a village cannot be too small.

Look at Zhu Biao has no opinion, the prefect of Fengyang is on the map, there are only two places left that can establish large towns, the terrain needs to be relatively flat, there are arable land and rivers next to it, not far from the official road is suitable for transporting building materials, the only drawback is that there are no villages around, and the population is sparse.

Zhu Biao nodded, this matter is not trivial, and said that he will go to the field tomorrow to take a look, the Fengyang prefect has already made two trips in person, but it is impossible for him to stop Zhu Biao.

The officials saw that Zhu Biao was a little tired, and they all sensibly withdrew, saying that they would come to see them again tomorrow, and Zhu Biao asked Liu Jin to send them out, and there was only the descendants he brought from the capital in the house.

Zhu Biao cheered up and looked at Zhang Fan, since the rainstorm separated, Zhu Biao would remember those lonely widows and children every day, Zhang Fan felt the prince's gaze and immediately bowed down and said: "Thanks to His Royal Highness's Hong Fu, those women and children have arrived here safely." ”

Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction: "You did a good job, you lived up to the trust of this palace, and this palace has always been worried, after all, those children's bodies are too weak." ”

Zhang Fan also smiled, he didn't bother to do this perfectly, and now if he can satisfy the prince, then the hard work is not in vain, and he bowed down and replied a few words.

Zhu Biao was in a better mood, looked at Zhu Li and said, "Third child, you have worked hard this time, you are not tired." ”

Zhu Li said with a smile: "It's really not easy, in fact, the younger brother is fine, but the eldest brother is really hard." ”

Zhu Biao asked the rest of them again, these people followed him from Nanjing to Shanxi, and now they are walking back to Fengyang, Zhu Biao has quite strict requirements for them on the way, and now it is left to finish, and they should be encouraged and encouraged.

When it was dark, everyone retreated, Zhu Biao rubbed his face and relaxed the muscles in his face, Liu Jin served a bowl of chicken soup distressedly: "Master, you just let them retire early, they are tired from running all the way, why bother with them." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at him, and was sure that he only said this sentence because he felt sorry for himself, otherwise Zhu Biao would have to reprimand a few words, and he really didn't have the strength today.

Liu Jin also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and after watching Zhu Biao finish drinking the chicken soup, he hurriedly went out and brought a basin of footwashing water and added some medicinal herbs given by the imperial doctor to it.

Zhu Biao soaked his feet in hot water and sighed comfortably, it was not easy to do anything, Zhu Biao had to worry about all aspects of things every day, which was different from the Northern Expedition, at that time Zhu Biao only needed to manage the generals, and the soldiers had their own military discipline.

The order is forbidden, and all the way are ordinary people, and most of them are illiterate, and there are many people who have never been out of their own villages in their lives.

No matter what he said to them, he just couldn't understand it, and Zhu Biao also ordered the soldiers not to be rude easily, and to pacify the people, but the result was that all kinds of crows and birds were chaotic, and the march could be scattered.

Zhu Biao tried to change, but in the end he found that the whip was indeed more useful than the truth, and the effect was extremely fast, Zhu Biao could only comfort himself in the end, they were already like this, this is the limitation of the times.

Early the next morning, Zhu Biao led the officials to the land planned by the Fengyang prefect, and after inspecting various conditions on the spot, he finally determined that this place was indeed good and suitable for building a county seat.

After getting Zhu Biao's instructions, the Fengyang prefect Da Ma Hui City immediately went to arrange for the launch of labor and organize craftsmen, Zhu Biao brought the young and strong people to use, first let them cut wood on the spot, and then it was their new home, and they naturally had to work.

Leaving Xu Yungong, Chang Mao, Guo Chong and others in charge, Zhu Biao led Zhu Li to see the people who had settled down again, saying that settling down was actually just a broken house, or relying on the army to supply food, and the cultivated land in the village had not been cultivated for many years and had long been abandoned.

After Zhu Biao looked around, he ordered Zhu Li to take the officials and soldiers to gather all the people, the old and weak women and children stayed at home to clean up, and the rest of the people worked in unison, the house was repaired from the head of the village to the end of the village, and the same was true for the cultivated land.

If they are allowed to sweep the snow in front of their doors, I am afraid that they will not even survive the winter, and they must be organized, and the officials will definitely not be enough, and Zhu Biao can only give priority to picking out the literate gentry to help manage and plan.

Zhu Biao smiled self-deprecatingly after giving the order, no matter how much he suppressed, he still had to rely on others when he should do things, Zhu Biao also realized the helplessness of the kings of the past dynasties, and it was really difficult to do anything without them.

Fengyang Mansion has also begun to harvest in autumn, and the imperial court ordered that the grain tax in Fengyang Mansion this year does not have to be handed over to the household department, but is kept for settling the people, Zhu Biao is also lazy to test the conscience of the officials, and directly sends Xungui to stare at it with a knife, who dares to be greedy for a grain of grain, and immediately cut it!

Zhu Biao basically arranges errands every morning, and goes to the villages for a walk in the afternoon, and the men who work are easy to say, after giving them a full meal, they can do anything, and the women in the village will be in trouble.

The trivial things have not stopped, and the conflicts between the local errand and the soldiers are also indispensable, and the children of the family who have been selected to manage have a little right to take care of the people who are related to the deceased.

There are all kinds of things, as well as the shortage of building materials in the county, which also requires Zhu Biao to apply for the imperial court, and recently he didn't know what disease the livestock had, and they began to infect each other.

Hundreds of cattle fell, Zhu Biao ordered that as long as they were found, they were all isolated in one place, their body temperature was very high, they couldn't eat anything, and there was still a turbid liquid left in their noses.

Zhu Biao ruthlessly ordered all of them to be killed, you must know that there are tens of thousands of cattle here, if they are all infected, the loss will be too great, Zhu Biao does not dare to take this risk, but it is inevitable to feel distressed, and livestock is too precious.

The rest of the people were even more distressed, the people watching were in tears, Fu Zhong's tears also flowed from the corners of his mouth, Zhu Biao glared at him, and ordered that no one was allowed to eat these meats.

The cause of death is unknown, but the disease is clearly contagious, and although Zhu Biao is not sure if it will affect people after cooking, he still does not want to take risks.

Zhu Biao said a few more solemnly, the background of the people around him is not to covet this bit of meat, Zhu Biao frowned and looked at the soldiers and people around him, these people's eyes are shining.
