Chengnan military cantonment, Guo Song with more than a dozen entourage is inspecting the situation of preparing to expand the land next year, accompanied by Zhang Xiang, the head of the legion, Zhang Xiang is about twenty-seven or eight years old, is one of the four wealthy families in Fengzhou, the son of the Jiuyuan Zhang family, but he is not a son-in-law, but a partial house, did not get the shadow of the Zhang family, but relied on his own talent to be admitted to Fengzhou scribe.

Zhang Xiang was quite talented, and in less than a year, he stood out from the three newly recruited scribes and was appointed as the head of Tuntian.

"Tuntian is now two soldiers in charge of one hectare of land, five hectares of land with one cow, by next year there will be a batch of cattle slaughtered, we plan to reduce to one cow to plough two hectares of land, so that intensive cultivation can be carried out, grain output can be increased by another .......

Zhang Xiang is very skilled in business, and he introduced Guo Song very well.

Guo Song smiled and said: "You still have to calculate the cost, the various costs of intensive cultivation and consumption, compared with the income of one percent increase per mu in the end, whether it is a loss-making business or a profit, have you considered it?" ”

"We carefully calculated and posted, including considering the manpower expenditure, and there will be a slight profit after intensive farming, but more importantly, it is good for the soil and can maintain a high yield for a long time."

Guo Song nodded, "I'm just asking casually, it's good if you have this consideration, I want to go and see the land that is going to be expanded next year." ”

"Envoy, please!"

Everyone galloped all the way to the east, running out of more than ten miles, and there was a large area of uncultivated open space in front of them, Zhang Xiang pointed to the open space and introduced: "Starting from here, we plan to expand another 1,500 hectares next year." ”

"All for growing wheat?" Guo Song asked.

"At the moment, we are considering planting all the wheat."

Guo Song sighed and said: "Next spring, I plan to start planting grapes, I specially invited the best fruit farmers in Lingzhou to come and see the land, they fancy this land, I am going to talk about this matter in two days, just today you said about the expansion of 15000 hectares of land, I will mention this matter to you." ”

Zhang Xiang hesitated and asked, "Is it a private grape planting?" ”

Guo Song shook his head, "It's not me who grows it privately, it's the government that cultivates it, and I'm thinking about replacing the land with the government and the army to open up vineyards here." ”

"I don't think it's a big problem, in fact, now these lands don't belong to the army, they belong to the Fengzhou government, and they won't be officially handed over until next year, which should be solved very well."

Guo Song nodded and said with a slight smile: "Director Zhang is Captain Zhang's nephew!" ”

"Returning to the envoy, it's the nephew of the clan!"

Guo Song asked meaningfully: "Since he is a nephew, why did you think of reporting him?" ”

Zhang Xiang's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "I don't understand.... What are you talking about? ”

Guo Song took out the report letter, "Didn't you write this letter?" ”

Zhang Xiang thundered like thunder, and he couldn't say a word.

Guo Song said lightly: "Now only you know, I know and Xie Xianling and the three of you know, if you resolutely don't admit it, then you have to find Zhang Wenlong to confront you, that is, the four of you know." ”

Zhang Xiang sighed, "That's right, I wrote this letter, I hope that you don't confront you, otherwise the family won't let me." ”

When Guo Song saw him admit it, he said: "Then tell me, why do you want to report your uncle?" ”

Zhang Xiang said for a while: "If I say that it is out of a sense of justice, this matter is related to the struggle within the family, I can't answer, I beg the envoy not to embarrass me." ”

"Alright! I don't ask about it, so is what you say in your letter true? In addition, I need other evidence. ”

"Returning to the envoy, the report of the humble position is completely true, these ten families have already obtained the land the day before yesterday, nominally their land, but in fact Zhang Wenlong's land, these ten slaves have become Zhang Wenlong's tenant farmers, as for the evidence that the envoy wants, I can take a copy of the list of slaves in Zhang's mansion to the envoy, with the names of these ten slaves on it."

"Is there a person named Luo Xuan'er in this list?" Guo Song asked again

"There is this person, a tenant slave of Zhangfu Manor."

Guo Song's eyes suddenly brightened, and all the clues were connected into a line and became clear.

He said happily: "Very good, you hand over the list to Xie County Order, this matter has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to confront you, neither I nor Xie County Order will mention you." ”

"Thank you!"

"One more thing." Guo Song continued to ask: "There is a duplicate lottery number, you did it, right?" ”

"It is indeed a lowly act, and it is also a lowly duty to discover it in time, the purpose is to prevent Zhang Wenlong from cheating, and at the same time, I hope that when you investigate the number, you will find out about Zhang Wenlong's cheating incident step by step."

As Guo Song expected, behind the confusion of the number, there must be a deeper secret.

Now that it has finally been revealed, Guo Song pondered for a moment and said, "You go back and hand over the list to Xie Xianling, and then act as if nothing happened, go!" ”

Zhang Xiang bowed to Guo Song and hurried away on horseback.

Guo Song looked at the vast wilderness, there were some things he didn't want to touch, but it still came inevitably.

He has already informed the Zhang family through Leng Qian, don't go too far in everything, but Zhang Wenlong still turned a deaf ear, since he was shameless, then don't blame himself for turning his face ruthlessly.

........

The next morning, the newly allocated land in the north of the city was still in full swing, the ditches had already taken shape, and the government began to install waterwheels along the river.

There is also a wooden wedge like a switch on the big windmill, when it is not in use, plug in the wooden wedge, the waterwheel will not rotate, when you need water, pull out the wooden wedge, the waterwheel will rotate with the wind, and the ditch can be filled with water overnight.

Of course, it is very convenient to step on it by hand when the wind is insufficient.

The windmill stands next to the Hejia plot, which is also one of the reasons why everyone agrees that the Hejia plot is a good land, and the government has reserved the location of the waterwheel in advance, and the waterwheel irrigation is very convenient, and at the same time does not block the sun.

The father and son of the He family were digging a ditch with a lot of concern, they ran to complain this morning, but the soldiers escorted them back, and a few soldiers stood guard near his house, but if the matter is not resolved, this is not a long-term solution, will the soldiers always stand guard for them?

In fact, He Chinese New Year's Eve regretted a little, the other party is obviously a big family in Fengzhou, it is the land snake they can't afford to offend, they ran to sue, really offended people, how will they stay in Fengzhou in the future?

But it is useless to regret it now, if the other party is willing to come to them again, he will definitely agree to exchange land immediately, and make this matter a big thing a small thing, and a small matter.

He Xiaobo muttered in a low voice: "These people bully the soft and afraid of the hard, the more you are afraid of them, the more they will bully us, this land is something I grabbed with great difficulty, and it will be left to the children in the future, and I will never exchange it." ”

"You know!"

He Chinese New Year's Eve glared at his son fiercely, "Offended the head snake, people don't clean us up now, wait for ten or twenty years to clean us up, who cares about our life and death at that time?" ”

"Whoever dares to touch my son, I will fight with him!" He Xiao said viciously.

He was just about to scold his son on Chinese New Year's Eve, when he suddenly heard someone shouting in the direction of the official road in the distance, and he looked strangely towards the official road, but saw hundreds of soldiers rushing murderously, and when they ran to the main channel, they did not go to the bridge, but ran along the river to this side.

The father and son of the He family were stunned, they felt that this group of soldiers seemed to be coming at them.

In a few moments, hundreds of soldiers rushed into the fields in five directions and forcibly took away several peasants who were digging canals.

The father and son of the He family looked at each other, and the peasants on their left and right were taken away, but they were the only ones who had nothing to do.

........

In the evening, Guo Song returned to his mansion, hundreds of steps away from the gate, but a wide carriage was parked at the door, and it seemed that someone had come to visit him.

He turned over and dismounted, and walked into the mansion, Steward Liang hurriedly stepped forward and whispered, "It's the head of the Leng family!" ”

Guo Song's mind turned around, and he suddenly understood that he had alarmed the Zhang family by arresting people in the afternoon, but he asked Leng Qian to intercede.

Guo Song sneered in his heart, is it useful to intercede with Leng Qian?

He walked directly to the guest hall, walked up the steps of the guest hall, and saw Leng Qian standing up with a smile on his face.
