The next day, the ranch began to be built, and Qin Chuan transferred 200 villagers from Lou Fu to help those horse households dig caves to live.

The purpose of Qin Chuan is to let the horse households live there all year round and there is no need to run around, so these horse households have to choose a good location for their residences.

Qin Chuan circled around Yunding Mountain a few times, and finally chose Datagou on the east side of Yunding Mountain, which is located between Yunding Mountain and Huangcong Mountain, at the source of the Xiquini River, and can be excavated to the south of the mountain beam of the two mountains.

In addition to the leeward, it was chosen because of the gentle terrain and the abundance of open space for the construction of horse pens and stables.

There is also a lot of wasteland on both sides of the Zucchini River, which can be reclaimed as farmland, planting beans or corn potatoes, and there are large wide gentle slopes to the west and south, which can be used to grow alfalfa and raise horses.

There are also no problems with drinking water, there are two springs on Yunding Mountain, and there is also one on Huangcong Mountain, the latter of which has water even in times of drought, and because of this, Bashan Tiger can occupy Huangcong Mountain for several years.

However, the two springs on Genting Mountain will dry up during the great drought, and the horses will face drinking problems.

Qin Chuan simply transferred another 200 villagers to widen and deepen the horse drinking pond on Yunding Mountain to form a large pond, and when the spring was cut off, it relied on the pond to solve the problem of drinking water for horses, and if it was not good, it would be brought to the foot of Huangcong Mountain to drink water.

Qin Chuan also had the intention of placing the horse households in Da Ta Gou, from the big tower ditch along the west of the Zucchini River River south thirty-five miles down the three cliffs are three cliffs, he has a hundred Guan imperial troops in the three cliffs, can help take care of the horse households in Yunding Mountain.

Other horse households in Lanxian and Jingle also drove hundreds of horses to Yunzhong Mountain, and the pastoral slopes of Lanxian County are all low-altitude grasslands, far inferior to the meadows of Yunding Mountain, and Qinchuan wants to put all the horses in Yunding Mountain for grazing.

According to the current number of mares, about 600 foals will be produced in the first year, during which Qin Chuan will ask Niu Wuqi and others to carefully select a batch of stallions and mares from the foals that are about to reach adulthood, at least to reach the scale of 1,000 foals a year.

In order to make those horse households live more comfortably and give them a greater sense of belonging, Qin Chuan specially transferred a hundred carts to bring bricks from Lou Fu, preparing to put bricks on the front end of the outer walls of those caves, so that the caves would be more solid and look more magnificent.

This horse farm must have been used for a long time, and there is only a good thing about making the housing better, and now that the spring sowing has passed, it is the time of agricultural slack, and there is no shortage of labor.

Lou Fan originally had a brick kiln, not far from Xigoutou, which was the property of the Meng family in the past, and Qinchuan sent villagers to take over very early.

This brick kiln is about fifty miles away from the big tower ditch of Yunding Mountain, on the way to turn over a big mountain beam, the road is not very good to walk, the mule carriage sets off in the morning, it can barely reach the big tower ditch when it is dark, it is not easy to transport the bricks and tiles over, fortunately it is just to build a wall, and the bricks and stones required are not very much.

But Qin Chuan attaches great importance to bricks, he has opened a new large brick factory at the foot of Hongli Mountain, the brick kiln has been excavated, ready to grind the slag cinder from the Hongli Mountain mine into powder, mix it with clay, make bricks and put it into the brick kiln for firing.

This brick is called internal combustion brick, and it is harder and stronger than any brick of this era, and it only takes one and a half thicknesses to build a house, which is stronger than those walls that are two bricks thick.

Qin Chuan wanted to use this kind of red brick to build the city wall in the future, and he also planned to dig a large brick factory next to the Black Mountain Mine to burn this kind of internal combustion brick from local materials.

He also wants to engage in cement, but he hasn't visited the cement forum before the crossing, and he doesn't know how to burn it, so he has to explore it for a while.

……

Tang Linxian has been busy every day recently, and he is still sorting out documents in the county office late at night.

The former officials and petty officials of the county government - >>

The government officials and so on, a total of more than a dozen were beheaded, and more than 30 were withdrawn, and when Qin Chuan was still in Lan County, he asked the people in the county to raise their talents and fill in the vacant officials except for the barracks.

Tang Linxian was first busy registering these people, and after the emperor made peace with Qin Chuan, he would report to the Ministry of Officials in the capital and file the official register of the Ministry of Officials.

This was specially asked by Qin Chuan to do it, and after making peace, he had to continue to govern the place in the name of an official of the imperial court.

Then, Tang Linxian was busy leading the officials of the household to go back and forth between several villages in Lan County, making a register for the newly resettled villagers, registering the number of acres of land, redrawing the fish scale atlas, and guiding the villagers to reclaim the abandoned cultivated land near each village.

Before the affairs of the households and farmland here were finished, he hurriedly took the officials of the Ministry of Industry to recruit people in the county and build reservoirs or ponds in several places designated by Qinchuan on the southern slope of Luya Mountain.

Immediately afterwards, another group of people were recruited to rebuild the two roads leading to Lou Fan and Jingle City in the form of sectional contracting, mainly widening, straightening, leveling the road surface, correcting some curves, and reducing some steep slopes.

These two are projects for the benefit of the people, and those people are very enthusiastic, and there are Guan Di soldiers who were originally stationed in various villages to supervise the work, and the people are working very hard.

One of the main reasons is that you not only have food to eat, but also get paid.

All this money and grain came from Qin Chuan.

On the side of Jingle County, Chen Congzhi, the magistrate of the county, was also doing the same thing.

After Qin Chuan resettled the villagers in various villages in Lan County, the total population of the entire county is now 14,000, and the total population of Jingle County is about 12,000.

Moreover, the hungry people in the neighboring counties are pouring in after hearing about the food here, and the population of both counties is growing.

Among the more than 20,000 people, more than half of them were hungry people taken in by Qinchuan before and after, and there were many long-term workers and tenants left over from various gentry and gentry.

All the villagers who work have food to eat, and they are paid 5 to 10 wen a day.

All this money and food came from Qin Chuan.

Tang Linxian estimated that after he raided almost all the homes of the gentry in Jingle Lan County, he had at least 50,000 stone of grain and 150,000 taels of silver, which may be more than that, as well as many gold, silver, jewelry, jade and jewelry and countless other property.

Winter wheat can be harvested in two months, there are about 50,000 acres of winter wheat in Jingle in Lanxian County, this year's rain and snow are quite sufficient, but there is a lot of frostbite, and the harvest should be more than one stone per mu, and 50,000 acres of land is 50,000 stone of grain.

Then in October, the autumn harvest can be carried out, there are about 20,000 acres of spring-sown crops, and then another 20,000 stone of grain can be harvested.

In this year, Qinchuan has more than 120,000 grains, enough to feed 40,000 people.

His hundreds of thousands of silver can buy tens of thousands of stone of grain, and he can feed another 10,000 or 20,000 people.

Now it is building water conservancy and cultivating a large amount of farmland, and by next year, the cultivated land in Jingle and Jingle in Lanxian County is estimated to reach about 150,000 mu, and even if it is ripe once a year, it can produce 150,000 stone of grain per year.

Tang Linxian can foresee that in two years, Jingle Lan County will be turned upside down, and maybe it will become a paradise in this troubled world.

He began to congratulate himself that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and listened to Zhao Renyin's words to serve Qin Chuan.

That is the right choice, Qin Chuan can give him a chance to show his ambitions, and in his lifetime, he doesn't know what kind of prosperous world he can see.
