Because the relocation plan of the Jin Dynasty was well implemented by the imperial court, the number of displaced people on the streets of Chang'an has decreased significantly in the past few days, and the market has become much more empty and clean. Beidi, Yanyun and other displaced people passing through Hedong County were also resettled on the spot. Yang Lin, the backer of Tongguan, intercepted many people who had lost their land due to the war and chaos from the Central Plains to Beijing, and directly sent troops to Hedong, and hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Hedong for a time.

The Luzhou Mansion has also changed its court and become the office of the Jin Prince's Mansion in Hedong, and Cai Mansion Yin is valued by Yang Er because of his dignified character, incorruptibility, and outstanding political achievements, and is promoted to the Hedong Assassin History, responsible for the daily government affairs such as the civil development of the county, local officials and taxes. Pei Shiju, as the chief of Hedong County, is responsible for the industrial and agricultural development of Hedong County; Pei Yun and Li Jing were respectively in charge of the resettlement of displaced people, land distribution, and the expansion training of the Hedong garrison. Now because of the large number of people, everyone is busy. After Li Jing was promoted to the general of the military Sima who was in charge of real power, he was instructed by Yang Guang, the king of Jin, to select 20,000 young and strong people from the displaced people to enrich the military camp and train them every day. Benefiting from the continuous purchase and trafficking of high-quality military horses from the Turks, Xi, Khitan and Liaodong steppe barbarians from the northern Turks, Xi, Khitans and the Liaodong steppe barbarians, the number of horse troops under Li Jing reached 15,000. Li Jing personally served as the commander of the Ma Army, and was in charge of the Ma Army's drills, and Zhai Rang temporarily served as the commander of the Infantry Army, serving as the commander of the 5,000 infantry army and the 3,000 government army exercises. The two military horses are all stationed in Jiechi Town, one is open for military training, and the other is that the two military horses are guarding the Jiechi Lake area to prevent others from coveting it. There are also homeless young and strong people who are unwilling to go to the army for the sake of agriculture and want to glorify the lintel with military merits, Pei Yun instructed Li Jing to secretly recruit 10,000 elite soldiers and send cronies and generals to the Shaohua Valley. The surplus good horses trafficked back by the Zheng family and his son also had to collect 10,000 horses and send them to Shaohua Mountain in batches.

During this period, there were 3 outstanding martial arts people who came and went to Hedong to join the army, Li Jingbao and Pei Shiju and Pei Yunhou were respectively accepted as the flag officer of the Ma Army, these three people were Luo Song, the big sword general Luo Song, the double spear general Ding Yanping, and the little white ape Hou Junji. Among them, Ding Yanping, the double-gun general, is the most powerful in martial arts, and he immediately dances with two guns and has the courage of ten thousand people. Hou Junji, who is called the little white ape by the people of the rivers and lakes, is also a spear that covers the front and back, no one can get close to him, and he has a light skill, and he climbs over the wall on the tree as if he is walking on the ground. Luo Song charged into battle with a long-handled machete, dancing like a wheel, and was the first person to charge for the horse army. Li Jingping and these three generals have never slackened in training the horse army.

The whole territory of Hedong County is located at the intersection of the Central Plains and the northern barbarians, and has been fighting back and forth for hundreds of years, and has experienced repeated wars. The small and medium-sized landlords and rich peasants in the territory either died or fled, and the big clans did not retain much land because of their sparse population. A large number of fields were deserted. The new arrivals were given land according to the population of each household, 5 mu for each male and 3 mu for each female, and the county government distributed grain seeds for autumn planting and rations according to the number of households until the harvest in the fields was able to take care of themselves. In the first year, the harvest in the field was 6 percent, and 4 percent was paid in grain tax. In the future, 8 percent will be retained every year, and 2 percent will be paid in grain tax. During the slack season, one person per household is selected to perform forced labor, open roads and repair canals, etc., and the county government pays wages according to the working hours. For a time, the displaced people were overjoyed, and all of them signed the title deed with the executive officer and collected the production of farm tools and materials, and every 10 households received one head of ploughing cattle for one fort, and the county government would deduct these materials from the ploughing cattle with an extra layer of grain tax. In addition, incentives for the newly developed cultivated land have also been promulgated, that is, for each household to newly develop one mu of high-quality land, the county government will reward 2 taels of silver, and the land will be owned by the county government for unified allocation. As soon as the new policy came out, the displaced people from the surrounding counties all gathered in Hedong, and every month Hedong opened tens of thousands of acres of fertile land along the Yellow River, and more people could be resettled.

In order to encourage the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty to make more meritorious contributions, under the instruction of Yang Er, a meritorious field system was also set up, that is, those who made meritorious contributions to the war will be awarded 200 to 10,000 acres of meritorious real estate according to the size of the meritorious service. In that year, the county government collected the grain tax produced in the fields, and the awarder received a reward of 2%. It can also be directly exchanged for gold and silver and received in their respective houses for private use. For a time, there were many people in the army, and there were countless people who wanted to make meritorious contributions for the king of Jin, and the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the horse infantry army drilled more diligently.

The sweet potatoes and potato seeds transported from the Liangshitai 4 Zhuang Joint Special Zone to the Luzhou Mansion in Hedong have long been piled up in the government treasury, and Pei Yun supervises the officials of the government every day to distribute them to the people free of charge and is guided by hundreds of farmers from the 4 Zhuang to guide the sowing. In the form of 100 households with 1 technical farmer, they entered the field for planting guidance. For a time, the township was crowded with people, and there was a busy scene of farming, and hundreds of thousands of acres of fields were all sown with high-yield sweet potatoes and potatoes.

"Hehehehehe! It is foreseeable that in three months, the entire Hedong County will become the largest granary of the entire Great Sui Dynasty, and every Hedong people will be freed from the suffering of lack of food. At this time, above the lobby of the Luzhou County Government, Uncle Liang, who had a bright smile on his face, laughed at several high-ranking officials of the county government present and said. The entourage on the side walked up to the officials one by one with a dustpan full of sweet potatoes and let everyone take and taste them.

Cai Dejian, who was holding a piece of boiled sweet potato in his hand and kept eating, kept saying, "Okay, okay!" Oh, this tastes good, this grain is even better. It's a hundred times better than eating that buckwheat porridge cake every day. ”

Uncle Liang poured out a bunch of sun-dried dried sweet potatoes from the bag and handed them to Pei Yun and the others, saying: "This dried sweet potato tastes sweet and fragrant, soft and hard, can be used as dry food for the army, and it is not easy to deteriorate if stored for a long time." Master Pei, you can also taste it. After speaking, he also took a few fries and handed them to Pei Shiju, "You are a little old, and your teeth are almost there, you can pick a little soft to eat, this thing is not sticky to your teeth, come and taste it." ”

"Hmmm! Not bad. Very delicious food, after a large amount of sun-dried, uniformly sewn food bags, distributed to the officers and soldiers of the army, tied to the saddle horse, and eaten as hungry. It's so convenient! Good stuff! Come on, come on, colleagues, come and taste one or two. After Pei Yun tasted it himself, he hurriedly beckoned his officials at all levels to come forward and eat the dried fries. provoked that Cai Tingshi was afraid that he would not have to eat, so he quickly put down the sweet potato he was gnawing in his hand, hurriedly grabbed a handful of French fries and held them in his arms, and said embarrassedly: "Bring it back to Neiko to try it, hehe!" ”

Several generals from the army were even more amazed by the fries.

"This is a potato? Such a big chunk. Pei Shiju picked up the potatoes on the table and asked.

"Yes! Master Pei, this potato is most suitable for you to eat in old age, it is soft and delicious, and the taste is excellent. This is a boiled potato, which can be eaten directly in your mouth without peeling. You always try ... Uncle Liang picked up a piece and put it in his mouth as he spoke, and began to eat it. He also said: "Generally, you can eat 3 or 4 per meal to fill your stomach. It can also be shredded and fried as a vegetable, and it can also be cut into pieces and stewed with meat, which is even more wonderful! ”

When Er Pei tried potatoes, Cai Dejian grabbed a few more potatoes and put them in the sleeves of his robe. Everyone also took the potatoes from the dustpan handed over by Xiao Si and tasted them.

The third uncle of Liang then said: "This time, Benli is under the order of His Royal Highness the King of Jin, and he will bring 600 people from the village to support the Hedong County Government, and these 600 children will be scattered to each fort to instruct the villagers to plant. I have commanded that we should not return to the village when the harvest is ready. They will also teach various ways to eat these two foods. In addition to bringing enough seeds, he also brought a total of 100,000 catties of sweet potatoes and potatoes as rations for the people of Hedong County, 10,000 live chickens, 50,000 eggs and cocoa were distributed to the county generals and government personnel at all levels for consumption, and nearly 100,000 chicken seedlings could be distributed to reliable farmers for raising. The chicken grows into an egg-ready in less than 50 days, and each chicken can lay 80 eggs in 100 days. If each household breeds a large number of chickens, the production of adult chickens and eggs is simply unimaginable! Hehehehehe! ”

As soon as Uncle Liang said this, dozens of people in the room were stunned. Even Zhai Rang, who kept eating sweet potatoes on the side, couldn't help but stop, and then two lines of tears fell.

Seeing this, Li Jing on the side was shocked and hurriedly asked, "General Zhai, who are you?" The others couldn't help but look at Zhai Rang in unison. Ding Yanping, who was sitting next to him, even took out a handkerchief and gave it to him.

"My poor old lady and girl! Woo woo woo ... If you could eat this sweet potato soil a day earlier... Beans won't starve to death! Woo woo woo ... As soon as everyone heard this, they understood the reason why Zhai made this strong man cry bitterly, and several Wen Li under the seat could not help but cover their faces and wipe their eyes with their sleeves at this time. Li Jing and the other 4 generals who were sitting next to Zhai Rang also bowed their heads and were sad.

"Alas! It's all because of the disadvantage of the official's rule! This makes this official extremely ashamed! Cai Dejian said with self-reproach and lowered his head.

"Generals, it doesn't have to be like this. Since we now have such good grain seeds, as well as this fast-growing and high-yielding chicken, I believe that in 3 months at the latest, my Hedong will be a different scene. The people of Hedong will have food and meat to eat, and they will no longer be poor. It's up to you to see what you can do in the past three months, and I'm here to ask you. Pei Shiju saw that all the civil and military officers were sad at this time, and couldn't help but hurriedly stand up and say loudly to everyone. He wants to remobilize everyone's emotions, now that there is hope, the next thing to do is to throw off his arms and do something new, so that the tragedy will never happen again, at least not in Hedong again.

When they heard this, they all got up and shouted, "We will do everything in our power to obey your lordship's commands!" ”

Everyone went out of the county government, but Zhai Rang pulled Li Jing's cuffs and hinted that he would not leave in a hurry. Li Jing was very puzzled when he saw the strange expression on Zhai Rang's face.

"Pei Gong wait, General Li has something to say." Zhai Rang hurriedly stopped Pei Shiju, who was about to leave.

Pei Shiju hurriedly stopped, turned his head and asked, "General Daoxing hasn't returned to the barracks yet, but why?" ”

Li Jing was about to talk, but he was pulled behind him by Zhai Rang, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Pei Lao, that's the case, my family Sima Du commanded the adult to mention it to the last general, and asked the last general to ask Pei Lao for something when he left." ”

"Hehehehehe! You Zhai Rang. Daoxing and I are close friends, I don't know what kind of person he is. Just tell me what you want, right? Don't play around with this. Pei Shiju stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"Pei Lao, you see that the army has been practicing the military formation for several days, and it is very hard. There is no meat every day, and the brothers are miserable! Look at this chicken... Zhai Rang looked at Li Jingzhi as he spoke, and said in his heart: Lao Li, you have the best relationship with this old Pei Tou, you can talk about it quickly! Don't leave the pestle there.

Seeing this, Li Jing was a little out of order, and it was inconvenient to talk to Pei Shiju. The thousands of chickens sent by Uncle Liang, Pei Shiju and Cai Tingshi should be arranged in a unified manner. How can this be asked?

"Oh this! That's fine. 8,000 chickens were allocated to the army, and the soldiers worked very hard, and it was time to have a good meal. At the same time, 40,000 eggs were allocated to the army. There is also no limit to sweet potatoes and potatoes, which are allocated according to the number of people in the army. You can send someone to pick it up at Master Pei's book. ”

Li Jing and Zhai Rang looked at each other and smiled happily, "Thank you Pei Gong!" Li Jing hurriedly thanked him at this time. Pei Shiju smiled, waved his hand and walked out of his chest.

"What are you doing in a dog's sleep? Hurry up and call the accompanying guards to borrow a car and horses, and hurry to move things home! Li Jingshu smiled and kicked Zhai Rang lightly. The heart said, this dog wants to eat chicken every day, and just now he actually used himself as a shield, and he couldn't get up or down, and he showed his cowardice in front of his friends.

"Gotcha! The general will do it, Luo Yibang, Ding Shuanggun, and the monkey hurry over, and good things are coming. . . Zhai Rang ran out happily while shouting.
