By the time the shipwreck ended, it was already September, and in the past few months, Phong Duong Province had undergone tremendous changes.

Some iron and coal factories were put into operation one after another, several military factories such as the Ordnance Bureau and the Armament Bureau also began to operate, and the most important thing was that the summer harvest was completed, and the tun households began to harvest the crops in the fields.

According to the statistics of Yang Tinglin, the prefect of Fengyang Prefecture, the output of grain per mu of the fields cultivated in the spring of this year has reached about ** dou, and the fields near rivers and lakes such as the Huai River have even harvested one stone per mu, which is not much worse than in previous years when there was no disaster.

In general, the military tun department received a total of 800,000 stone from the tunhu of Fengyang Mansion, which is only half a year's amount, and according to the two crops in one year, the rent of the tunhu in Fengyang Mansion alone can collect more than 1 million stone.

Autumn sowing will begin soon, and the 100,000 tun households in Luzhou and Taiping will also start sowing, according to this calculation, the three tun households in the three prefectures will be able to collect a total of more than 3 million stone of grain next year alone.

Based on the monthly consumption of 100,000 stone of grain by 200,000 troops, the rent of the tun households alone is enough to eat for two or three years in a year, not including the grain and miscellaneous taxes paid by other military households, peasant households, and landlords in various prefectures.

By next year's spring ploughing, half of Nanzhili will implement military tun and mintun, including Fengyang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Taiping Mansion, Anqing Mansion, Chizhou Mansion, Huizhou Mansion, and Chuzhou Mansion.

The remaining are only Yingtianfu, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Songjiang, Huai'an, and Ningguofu, which are mainly controlled by the Jiangnan gentry and Nanjing nobles.

The area of Nanzhili is very large, equivalent to Jiangsu, Anhui and Shanghai in later generations, and there are 80 million mu of cultivated land alone.

Of course, if you want to realize the grand plan, not only do you have to invest a lot in the early stage, but more importantly, you have to kill. Can you let the fields grow their own food?

No one is a philanthropist! Only a quick knife can control the situation! Wherever our army went, the guards either took the initiative to hand over the land, admit their mistakes, and receive 500 acres of fertile land and a pennant, or they rose up to resist the extermination of their homes.

Officials from various provinces will either cooperate well and support the work of Tuntian, or they will be dismissed and beheaded, and they will not even have the opportunity to resign, and they still want to run away if they are greedy for money? What do you think! The new Shang Fang sword sent by the imperial court, find out?

As for the gentry........ Okay, let's wait for now, I'm afraid that these gangs of bandits have no lower limit, wait for Huoshan's rogues to be leveled, and then play a big one!

In order to control public opinion, Zhu Cihong built more than a dozen new Huangming Times branches in various prefectures in Nanzhili, and the original Nanzhili Huangming Times Branch only printed one issue every half a month, but now Zhu Cihong has changed it to the same as the Beijing Division, which is once every three days.

In a dilapidated small mansion near the Chenghuang Temple in Shouzhou, Fengyang Prefecture, three children are happily chasing around the courtyard.

A woman in her twenties looked at the yard full of grain bags filled with grain, and her face could not hide her excitement.

She looked at the man beside her and said, "Brother Qingshan, are these really our family?" ”

The man hugged the woman in his arms and said with affirmation on his face: "Fifth sister, these grains are ours, and the crown prince personally promised it, there will be no mistake!" ”

The fifth sister grabbed Brother Qingshan tightly, and said with a little hazy eyes: "If our family could have a bag of rice a year ago, my father and mother would not starve to death, and our brothers and sisters would not be caught by thieves and ...... thieves in the mountains."

Xu Qingshan gently patted the fifth sister's back and said: "The order from above has come down, let us prepare to escort the grain and grass to Huoshan in a few days, it should be a war, and then we will go into the mountain to help you find your brothers and sisters." ”

The fifth sister panicked in her heart and said, "Brother Qingshan, didn't you say that the Tuntian soldiers don't go to the battlefield?" Don't be stupid and rush forward! Our family is counting on you! ”

Xu Qingshan comforted his lady and said: "Don't worry, Fifth Sister, Your Highness's Tianwu Army is very strong, and it is not our turn to charge into battle." ”

"Well, Brother Qingshan, you rest for a while, and I'll cook for you!"

The fifth sister took a piece of pork from the wall of the inner room, and took out two duck eggs from the basket hanging from the beams of the house, and then went into the kitchen.

Xu Qingshan looked surprised and said, "Fifth sister, pork is very expensive now, right?" Where did you get this at home? ”

The fifth sister's voice came from the kitchen: "Yes, now a pound of pork in the state and county costs 230 yuan, and a duck egg costs 20 yuan, originally our family couldn't afford it, but now our family has food, this food is more expensive on the market, I took some food in exchange!" ”

Xu Qingshan nodded secretly, the last time the family ate meat was when he got married, and now the eldest son is seven or eight years old, and he hasn't even eaten a meal of meat, no wonder the lady went all the way to the state city to exchange for some meat.

Looking at the three children playing in the yard, Xu Qingshan secretly decided in his heart that this expedition must have a future, become a real sergeant of the Tianwu Army, follow His Royal Highness to make meritorious contributions, seal his wife and son, and let the family live a rich life!

........

When Xu Qingshan returned to the barracks after eating a full meal, he saw a group of young people in ragged clothes surrounding several sergeants of the Tianwu Army like a moon.

"What for, what for? If you have something to say, don't hang around! A captain of the Tianwu Army scolded everyone.

Seeing that this military leader was burly and his face was horizontal, the frightened bodies of the homeless people shrank, and they were obviously afraid of the officers and soldiers.

A tall, tanned man stood up and said, "This military master, please take us in, we are all eligible for recruitment, look at my muscles!" ”

The captain of the Tianwu Army smelled a sour smell, glanced at the hungry people in front of him, and said, "None of you have taken a bath, the smell is really big!" ”

"I don't even have anything to eat, where do I still have the heart to take a bath!" A homeless man whispered.

These homeless people were a little embarrassed, and they took two steps back, for fear of smoking this military master and causing the other party's unhappiness.

The captain sighed and said, "You are also surrounding me, it is not up to us to decide when to recruit Tuntian soldiers, it is all up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I will report your situation to the above, as for when to recruit Tuntian soldiers again, then I don't know." ”

"Master Jun, we are from Guide Mansion, Henan, and we have walked for half a month to Fengyang, you must ask for us!"

These homeless people learned that Fengyang Mansion had a bumper harvest, and they came to find a way, they first looked for officials in the state government, but the officials said that the fields in Fengyang Mansion were divided, and they would not recruit Tuntian soldiers for the time being.

Some of these homeless people couldn't trust the officials, and they wandered around the Tuntian military camp, wanting to join the Tuntian soldiers, and happened to meet a few Tianwu army sergeants who were patrolling outside the barracks.

The captain of the Tianwu Army looked at the big black man and said, "You are their head?" ”

The black man nodded, looking at the mighty military master in front of him expectantly.

The captain took out a money bag from his arms and threw it to him, saying: "Give each of them some of these silver coins, buy a few steamed buns to suppress hunger, and the military camp is heavy, so don't surround it." ”

The homeless people were stunned for a while, they had only seen the military master who robbed money along the way, when had they ever seen this kind of military master who took the initiative to send money to himself? This is simply a strange news in the world!

For a while, everyone knelt down and thanked him: "The military master is really a good person!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness!"

The captain helped everyone up and said: "You don't have to be like this, our Tianwu Army passed by Guide Mansion when it went south, and we understand everyone's situation very well, I will report this matter, everyone rest assured!" ”

Xu Qingshan sighed in his heart, this is the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, this is the real teacher of the king! This incident strengthened Xu Qingshan's determination to join the Tianwu Army!

Xu Qingshan greeted the captain and entered the barracks, and everyone looked at his back and wanted to envy him, hoping that he could be a Tuntian soldier like him.
