Recruiting homeless people, forming an army, and completely quelling the Huyang Bandit Rebellion is what Sanshui Village will do next.

However, although Huyang is chaotic, it is not a borderless land, and it is nominally under the control of Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao.

And when doing these things, you must have the endorsement of the government, otherwise it is a plan to make trouble. I'm afraid that no force would want to see an uncontrollable team appear in the territory.

That's why Zhang Miao came to seek Zhao'an.

And now, Huyang Ling Cheng Cheng promised to give his father Changyu a guerrilla official position, which means that the Sanshui Township Soldiers have been regularized and have become a militia organization within the system recognized by the government.

Next, the scale of the township soldiers should be further expanded, and land is naturally needed to raise soldiers on a large scale. It happened that many villages were slaughtered by the Yellow Turban thieves, and many people were either killed or followed by thieves, causing a large amount of land to be abandoned, so Zhang Miao decided to hit these fields.

Listening to Zhang Miao's request, Cheng Miao, the fat county commander, glanced at Zhang Miao deeply, and a smile appeared on his face.

In troubled times, land is not valuable, and many big families will take the opportunity to annex land, absorb displaced people, and strengthen themselves. The purpose of this is to protect oneself in troubled times, and the other is to expand one's influence. After all, in the face of powerful families, any ruler has to rely on them in order to rule steadily.

Sanshui Zhang's family, although it is just an ordinary household, has produced Zhang Miao, a young talent. And Zhang Miao is so young, he actually knows the truth of taking advantage of the troubled times to make the family rise, which is really amazing. Don't look at the fact that there were originally only 100 households in Sanshui Village, but if you recruit displaced people on a large scale, it won't take long to become a big family, and even become the leading family in Huyang.

Cheng Qi consciously saw through Zhang Miao's ambition, and a knowing smile appeared on her face. Here's your chance to make a fortune!

"Mr. Sanjiang, I'm afraid this is not easy to handle." Cheng Qi deliberately made a mistake, "Many villages have been looted by thieves, and the people are missing, but we don't know if these people are still alive." If they were still alive, and I gave you the field, wouldn't it be very troublesome? ”

Zhang Miao said with a smile: "This is very simple, the county will give me the fields to Sanshui Village first, if the owners of these fields come back one day, we will return the fields to them." ”

"Well..."Cheng Qi touched her chin, her eyes rolling around.

Looking at the appearance of the fat county order, Zhang Miao smiled, clapped his hands gently, Zhang Ping walked into the lobby from the outside, put a wooden box in front of Zhang Miao, and then gently opened the lid of the box.

Cheng Qi's eyes glanced into the wooden box, and he couldn't help but gasp, and saw that the box was full of gold and silver jewelry, gems and jade, shining and dazzling.

"The first time I saw the county, I didn't know what the county liked it, so I took the yellow and white things casually, which was a little cheesy, and asked the county not to be surprised." Zhang Miao said with a smile.

"No strange, no strange," Cheng Qi said busily, at this moment, his eyes were full of these gold, silver and jade, and nothing else.

It's pitiful, I have been in Huyang as a county magistrate for more than a year, and the net worth I have accumulated is not 10,000 yuan, and the gold, silver and jade in this wooden box are worth more than 10,000 yuan? Even if I have been working in this Huyang Ling position for ten years, I can't accumulate so much wealth!

"County Zun, what do you see about the fields?" Zhang Miao asked with a smile.

"Exactly! At present, Huyang is turbulent, countless homeless people are waiting to be fed, and the county is also worried, Mr. Sanjiang, you are merciful, and you can't see the homeless people starving to death to accept them, and the county is deeply admired. It is a pity that those lands have been abandoned, and it is also a good deed for Mr. Sanjiang to organize the displaced people to cultivate crops. In this way, the displaced people will not starve to death if they have food to eat in the coming year, and the county will be able to collect more taxes, so why not? Cheng Qi said solemnly.

"But the owners of some fields may still be alive, and I am afraid that it will be a little troublesome for them to come back in the future." Zhang Miao touched her chin and said.

"These people left the fields and fled without knowing what to do, most of them are thieves, since being thieves is a capital crime, it is merciful enough not to kill them, and they still want to return to the land?" Cheng Qi sneered.

"But it's not good." Zhang Miao said melancholy.

"Nothing bad!" Cheng Qian waved his hand, "If they dare to be verbose, this county will demote them all to slavery, and this should be the end of the thief!" ”

"So, thank you for the county." A smile appeared on Zhang Miao's face again.

"It's all your own family, you're welcome." Cheng Qi said with a smile, "But Mr. Sanjiang, after you reclaim the fields, remember to come to the county to register the yellow book of acres." ”

Well, if you register the yellow book of acres of land, you have to pay the field tax, and the county's financial endowment can also be collected more.

"That's nature." Zhang Miao smiled and said goodbye.

With the endorsement of Fat Zhi County, you can carry out the enclosure movement when you turn back. Let's first occupy the ownerless land around Sanshui Village.

"County Zun, this Sanjiang can obviously reclaim the borderless land by himself, but he is in a hurry to send you gold and silver, is it a little unclear in his mind?" The main Bo Fei said incomprehensibly, and as he spoke, his eyes glanced at the wooden box held in Cheng Qi's arms from time to time.

Huyang is not as good as Xiangyang, it is located in the buffer zone of the two major forces of Xiangyang Army and Cao Army, where thieves are rampant, household registration is scarce, and the land is not worth anything at all. With the strength of Sanshui Village to exterminate the thieves in Gegang, it is to reclaim the abandoned land by itself, and no one will ask.

"You know what!" Playing with gold, silver and jade, Cheng Qi said disdainfully, "That Zhang Sanjiang is very shrewd, how can he do a loss-making business?" ”

"Any field in the territory is registered in the county. He can reclaim the fields on his own, but it is not his after all, and now he spends a little money to register those fields in the county's yellow book of acres, and it has completely become his Zhang family's industry.

Not to mention anything else, if the Sanshui Zhang family can gather thousands of displaced people and reclaim tens of thousands of acres of land, the Sanshui Zhang family will become the leading family in Huyang County.

This is Zhang Sanjiang's plan! ”

"That's a good calculation." Fei Cheng sighed, "But, with the strength of Sanshui Village, does it have the ability to gather thousands of displaced people?" You must know that one homeless person is a mouth, thousands of homeless people, and just eating food every day is a huge number. ”

Cheng Qi sneered: "Who told you that people are going to gather thousands of displaced people all of a sudden? Won't you slowly increase your strength? In the pacification of Gegang, Sanshui Village has seized a lot, and will use the seized grain to gather a group of displaced people, and then use these displaced people to open up the wasteland, so that they can get grain in the coming year, can't they use the harvested grain to continue to gather displaced people? ”

"He Zhang Sanjiang can gather the displaced people as much as possible, every acre of land he reclaims, the county will collect an extra land endowment in the coming year. Every time he exterminated a thief, Huyang became more stable. The county doesn't have to do anything, you can sit back and enjoy it, is there such a good thing in the world? Cheng Qi said with a smile.
