At the beginning of the lanterns, at the door of the Taibai Restaurant on Jingzhaofu South Street, a sign of "idlers do not enter" was hung, and several ruffians still wanted to make trouble, and when they saw the sergeant with a gun at the door, they quickly avoided it.

Zheng Tu took the invitation from the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion and came to the door of the Taibai Restaurant early. After reading the invitation and searching his body, Zheng Fuhe and the gifts were left outside, and the guards put Zheng Tu in alone.

The first floor was already completely controlled by the sergeants, and Zheng Tu went up to the second floor and found that more than a dozen people had come, all of them were wealthy businessmen and tycoons from Jingzhao Mansion, all of whom were figures with heads and faces. It seems that he guessed correctly, this prince must have something to discuss, and I just hope that it is not forcibly apportioned.

People kept going upstairs, and the people who invited them soon arrived, and it was fifty or sixty people in this room.

Most of the people in the room know each other, and when they meet each other, they all greet each other, although they are lively on the surface, but they are all nervous.

"The prince has arrived!"

As the guard's voice sounded, the room suddenly fell silent, and then the sound of "Tengteng" going upstairs came, and then the door was pushed open by the guard, and a young man of twenty-five or sixteen walked in, it was Wang Song.

"I've kept you waiting. I'm so sorry, I'm sorry!"

Wang Song apologized to everyone with his fists, and everyone hurriedly returned the salute. Although Wang Song is young, he is in a high position, plus he kills the enemy to serve the country, is loyal and courageous, no matter who he is, everyone admires him from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you for your generous donations. This donation has received a total of 430,000 yuan, in addition to the construction of the School of Administration, it can also build several hope schools. This official is here on behalf of the fathers and villagers of Shaanxi, thank you!"

Everyone's faces were bright, and they all returned the salute.

It seems that this time the money was not donated in vain, not only did it fall in the open, but also supported its face, which can be described as a great joy in life.

Wang Bin continued: "I called everyone here today, firstly, to thank you for your kind deeds of donating materials and donations, and the other thing is that the major event of reclamation of barren tuntian still needs to work together and the joint strength of everyone."

The rich merchants in the house all changed color, and many of them were uneasy. Could it be that the government is not satisfied, and still wants to take money from them, isn't this a desire to be unsettled?

Zheng Tu was rough on the outside and fine on the inside, and he asked cautiously: "Xianggong, what does the government want me to do, can you explain it more clearly?"

Everyone pricked up their ears and waited for Wang Song's answer.

Wang Song looked at Zheng Tu appreciatively, nodded and said: "Since the first year of Jingkang, Fanzi has invaded the south, Shaanxi has lost all its lives, and the people's livelihood has withered everywhere, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be revived."

Everyone was interested, listened carefully, and wanted to see what kind of idea this young man had.

"After the war, the huge Shaanxi has a population of less than 2 million left, which can be described as vast and sparsely populated, and a large amount of wasteland is not cultivated, so it is not a long-term strategy to continue."

Zheng Tu's heart moved, stood up and said: "Xianggong, the villain is willing to organize manpower, reclaim wasteland, and share worries for Xianggong, please fulfill Xianggong."

Wang Song patted the table lightly and said in appreciation: "Zheng Zhuangshi has a heart." Shaanxi is a large area, and there are tens of millions of acres of wasteland in the Guanzhong Plain alone, and if it can be reclaimed, the people can eat enough, and the soldiers have military rations, Shaanxi will be turned upside down and prosperous. ”

"Xianggong, there should be a rule for this reclamation, and how to calculate this tax"

A wealthy businessman asked cautiously, but he asked what everyone wanted.

"The first three years are exempted, and the last three years are exempted, and the government only collects some symbolic rent. As for the taxes levied, they are levied on the basis of the actual production of the fields. Please note that the period of expropriation of this barren land is 10 years, and during these 10 years, it is not allowed to idle or abandon cultivation at will, and if there is any problem, you must notify the government in advance, and the government will have a formal contract document at that time. ”

Everyone bowed their heads and said in a deep voice, Wang Bin also secretly thought to himself, land is the foundation of the country, if no one cultivates it, then it will not be far from the death of the country. The deserted land had to be planted, and the people and the army had to have at least food to eat.

Moreover, it is necessary to use troops to the northwest, and what will be lacking at that time is food.

"As you know, the quality of business depends on whether the people have money in their hands. Only when the people have money can they buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothes, shoes and socks, go to restaurants and restaurants, and promote the development of various industries. On the contrary, if the people have no money and no money to shop, it is a depression in all industries. ”

Wang Song patiently explained. Shaanxi's wasteland is more than 10 million acres. Relying on the military's 100,000 horses alone, it is only a few million acres in a month. Idle land can only be wasted.

"In return, the Jingzhao Mansion Yamen will reach an agreement with you to give priority to the purchase of the grain grown by all of you, and the price will be the same as that in the market."

Government procurement, food, drink, clothing for more than 100,000 people, basic engineering, what a huge business it will be, the businessmen below are suddenly active, and many people are eager to try.

If other people come forward, they may not believe it, but Wang Song is famous, and the loyal and righteous army is a righteous army that has not committed any crime in the autumn, and everyone has inexplicably confidence.

"In addition, as you all know, in addition to being busy with reclamation of wasteland, Jingzhao Mansion is also busy with education. This is a major event related to more than 100,000 Shaanxi children going to school. More than 100,000 people have pen, ink, paper, inkstones, tables, chairs and benches, and at least two or three hundred school buildings to be built, and the project is huge. And these jobs will be handed over to everyone here to do. ”

Zheng Tu's heart was pounding, and he was the first to stand up and said loudly: "Xianggong, I am willing to reclaim 300,000 acres of wasteland as a prerequisite for cooperation with the Loyal and Righteous Army."

Wang Song secretly praised in his heart, this Zheng Tu is really a smart person, and when the opportunity comes, he will never let it go.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, you are in the salt, grain and cloth business. My loyal army, as well as the local governments under the rule of Xuanfu Division, will buy all the clothes, shoes, socks, firewood, rice, and vegetable oil in Shaanxi in the future. You won't lose out on the price. In front of all of you, this official assures you that my loyal army and the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion will never lose a penny from you!"

"The villain believes in Xianggong!"

Zheng Tu relieved himself. The Loyal and Righteous Army and the Shaanxi government, even if he only earns one or two taels of silver per person a year, it is more than 100,000 yuan. If you go one step further and cooperate with the Loyal Righteous Army in other aspects, the future profits will be limitless.

After all, this prince will not only occupy the three roads in the north, and his power will always expand outward.

Zheng Tu looked at Wang Song not far away, his eyes were full of Venus.

"Brother Zheng, 300,000 acres of wasteland, can you reclaim it?"

Wang Song's "Brother Sun" made Zheng Tu's heart bloom and he had face.

Wang Xianggong rest assured that it is still early, and the villain will immediately send people to post notices, and he will soon be able to raise thousands of people in Sichuan and Shaanxi. 300,000 mu, within a month, 10,000 mu a day, the villain's custody arrangements are proper, and you can't miss spring ploughing!"

Wang Song nodded and said with relief: "Brother Zheng, if there is any trouble in the local area, the army will definitely help you solve it!"

Zheng Tu was overjoyed and said: "Thank you to the villain!"

There are many people in Shaanxi, not to mention recruiting thousands of people, even hundreds of thousands, which is not a difficult task.

Now that I have taken the line of Wang Song, there are many opportunities to make a fortune in the future.

The devil in everyone's hearts has been released, and they have stepped forward one after another, expressing to Wang Song that they are willing to reclaim wasteland in exchange for government projects.

Wang Song did not want to adopt the method of bidding, he would let these people earn more according to the market price, in exchange for them to open up tens of millions of acres of wasteland in Shaanxi, so that Shaanxi could recover as soon as possible.

Reclaiming wasteland and building school buildings, just like the domestic demand of later generations, the business of timber and bricks and tiles will be stimulated, a large number of people will have a way to work, the people will naturally have silver in their pockets, and all walks of life will naturally prosper.

Wang Song pressed his hand lightly, and the room suddenly fell silent.

"Remember, the price should be fair and the quality should be guaranteed. The government strictly prohibits accepting bribes, and if someone in the government asks for bribes, they must report it to the government, and we also have a specific responsible yamen to deal with the matter. If anyone breaks the rules, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

"If you have any problems or difficulties, you can come directly to me, or the prefect Wang, and we will definitely enforce the law impartially and not let everyone's interests be harmed. Everyone must also abide by the laws of the government, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, benefit Sangzi, and do not bully the market and do evil. ”

The crowd was in awe. This young man not only understands their plight, but also personally escorts them. It seems that this loyal army is indeed a benevolent and righteous army.

The cake was divided, and the wasteland was also cultivated, and the remaining wasteland that was not reclaimed was left by Wang Song as the official land, that is, the farm of the Agricultural Reclamation Division.

In the yamen hall of Jingzhao Mansion, when Wang Song came in, all the people stood up.

"Don't be inhibited, everyone is your own brother."

Wang Song looked at Zhang Hao and Dong Cai, who were solemn next to him, and nodded slightly.

"Dong Cai, Shaanxi Tuntian Yingtian, your brothers, you have to appease them, don't disturb trouble, don't want to mutiny and defect, you know the military order."

"Xianggong can rest assured. The brothers live and work in peace and contentment, and many people have settled down and started a business, and the husband has a lot of worries. ”

Wang Song nodded. The Han who surrendered was safe and stable, but it was much more comfortable than fighting.

"Tell your brothers, as long as you abide by the law, no one looks down on them, and do your duty!"

"Don't worry, the villain knows."

Seeing that Wang Songping Shandong, occupying the Central Plains, and now annexing Shaanxi, the prosperity of the army is surprising, he is a general, and there is still half a difference in heart.

Dong Cai finished agreeing and retreated, and Wang Song looked at Zhang Hao.

"Brother Zhang, I transferred you from Hedong to let you go to Longyou, assist Wang Dajie, sit in Lanzhou, Tuntian Yingtian, and build official roads and post stations. It won't be long before the Loyal and Righteous Army will send troops to Hexi. It's a heavy burden on your shoulders. ”

Zhang Hao was taken aback, and then he was relieved, with the military might of the loyal and righteous army, it was a matter of time before he used troops in Western Xia.

He wanted to stand up and salute, but Wang Song waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down.

"Wang Dajie is good at strategy, but he lacks local political qualifications. You have worked in Hedong for several years, and you have much more qualifications, so you have to take on important responsibilities and assist him in doing his duty. Hoard grain and grass, take precautions, and don't slack off. ”

Zhang Hao solemnly agreed. Compared with Wang Dajie, he is very different in terms of strategy and overall situation, which is why Wang Song asked the two of them to form a team.

"Xianggong, what about the various western armies in Shaanxi?"

Wang Lun was a little worried. In the first battle of Shaanxi, although the Western Army was defeated. But there are still tens of thousands of Western troops, who are now staying in key towns on the border.

There are also the Wu brothers, who are now staying in the Hanzhong area, eyeing each other and ready to move.

"Just be safe. But if anyone wants to stir up trouble, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

Wang Song snorted coldly. If anyone doesn't have a long eye, if he has to fight with the loyal army, he will definitely kill the killer.

"Spring ploughing should be prepared for a rainy day, ploughing tools, seeds, canals, rivers, preparations that should be prepared, and repairs that should be repaired."

He looked at the dilapidated prefect's yamen and said dissatisfied:

"When the spring ploughing is over, start arranging manpower to repair what should be repaired and repaired in Chang'an City, don't make it like a beggar, which makes people feel uncomfortable!"
