Xu Zixian nodded and smiled, not wanting to delve into this kind of issue. After all, this kind of thing can be deduced from different results based on the wisdom and experience of the Chinese people, and the result mainly depends on what you want. For example, when someone gives birth to seven or eight sons in a row and wants a daughter, many people can infer that it is a daughter from the details, such as whether they can eat sour or spicy, or the shape of the belly.

This kind of thing can be controlled in the afterlife, and it is completely up to Providence at this time.

Wang Xinyuan's words Xu Zixian didn't take it too seriously, he just thought it was the person who said good news during the New Year, and he just smiled slightly, and he was surrounded by many armor soldiers, and galloped towards Huaxi.

Along the way, Xu Zi first deliberately detoured to the hilly area, and saw that there were many tea pickers near the tea mountain, originally these hilly areas were overgrown with shrubs, even the wild grass grew taller than people, and then re-cultivated after the wasteland, of course, it was necessary to burn to drive out weeds and shrubs, and then fertilize and plant tea trees, and finally harvest the season at this time.

Moreover, there are more hilly areas that have been developed into tea mountains, these places have been burned down earlier, and it is quite easy to reclaim, as long as there are sufficient agricultural tools and manpower and animal power, it is a matter of time to open up hundreds of thousands of acres of tea mountains on the scale of millions of acres.

The horse team galloped past, and the people who heard the movement all got up to watch, and when they saw the Qin Wangqi banner, many people were quite surprised, and many people suddenly showed a smile on their faces, most of them first bowed their hands, and then waved hello to the horse team, and the women couldn't help cheering, and everyone had a look of admiration and love on their faces, and the smiles were all from the heart, everyone from the homeless, the poor, from these extremely poor classes were introduced into the Eastern Domain, before this they had rare food and clothing, and to be humiliated and oppressed by the officials, Life is quite unsatisfactory, many people in their thirties have shaky teeth and gray hair, this is because of insufficient salt intake, general lack of nutrition, and the weight of life makes them old and decrepit, many people are almost old and die in their forties, and the average life expectancy of the extremely poor class should be less than forty.

Many children die young, men and women pass by in the prime of life, and many do not live to be 50.

Hunger and cold are not mentioned, there is a disease can only survive, there is no money for treatment, watching the child cry and die in his arms, the Great Wei has a rich period, the daily life of the people is also very passing, in the past 30 years, the imperial court's accumulation and exploitation of the people has reached the limit, even so, the court's finances are still close to bankruptcy.

Most of the people who moved here were destitute, and Xu Zixian was also clear about all kinds of miserable situations, and Xu Zixian didn't know who to blame, but these people in front of him changed their fate because of him, and everyone's love and loyalty to him was obviously from the bottom of their hearts.

When I arrived at the Huaxi Annex, there were already many people waiting outside the Courtyard.

As the naval division grew stronger, the threat could be cleared up hundreds of nautical miles, and the Eastern Domain only retained a large area of barracks that would not be filled until the next round of conscription. All the armies of the army have been moved, the cavalry has also gone to Fujian Road for daily stationing and training, the pasture is still there, just in the northeast of the upper reaches of Huaxi, the horse herd is continuing to expand, but those heavenly horses want to expand to meet the needs of tens of thousands of cavalry, at least more than ten years of effort, or even more than that.

If we don't continue to buy war horses and expand the grazing land, it will be impossible to grow the horse herd to a certain base even if it takes ten years.

Looking at the pastures of the Eastern Domain in front of him, Xu Zixian had already made up his mind to take the Ezo horse breeding land in the Wa Kingdom, more than 100,000 square kilometers of land, much colder than the climate of the Eastern Domain, but the place is large, excluding the forests and mountains, at least there is a plain area larger than the area of the Eastern Domain, and there are more than 100,000 Ezo people living there, and the Wa State only built a city and stationed a flag book, and it would be a pity not to take advantage of such an opportunity.

Take Ezo, move the current war horses to Ezo, open up a large horse farm of more than 10,000 square kilometers, and then buy Tianfang horses and good Hetang horses one after another, it is estimated that the horse herd will reach the scale of 30,000 or 40,000 horses within five years, but the war horses grow up, train, and then deliver to the cavalry, and the five-year period is all counted less, and it is expected that after ten years, the horse herd will reach the scale of 200,000 horses, and at that time a strong cavalry team of more than 100,000 people will be formed, and this goal can almost be completed.

Xu Zixian was also a little embarrassed, it was not easy for farming people to raise horses, and it was easy for horses in the Han Dynasty to be because they controlled the Hetao place, which is now all the territory of the Beiyu. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, it still controlled Shuofang, Longyou, not only the Hetao area, including Beiting and Anxi, which were all established in the nomadic area, the Tang army not only had its own large-scale horse farm, but also hundreds of thousands of affiliated tribes, whether it was the naturalized Turks or Tiele people, or Tuyuhun and Uighurs, all of which were used by the Tang army for a long or short time, and the war horses of their tribes were of course also continuously provided for the Tang army.

For the country formed by the agrarian people, the war horse is actually related to life and death, and the rulers of the Great Wei ignored this point, which may be caused by the mentality of facing strong neighbors from all directions, lack of enterprising, and only willing to defend after the founding of the country.

The ranch was originally directly responsible for Li Yi, Kong He and others, which also showed the importance that the Nan'an Hou Mansion attached to the horse herding supervisor at that time, and even now, it was handed over to a few quite old and serious officials, and some capable officials were also selected as assistants.

In addition, the 1st Cavalry Battalion, which is now the 1st Cavalry Army, has a large number of left-behind personnel, who are responsible for receiving the horses and transporting the newly arrived horses to the pastoral prison.

Many of the natives were also recruited, and they were responsible for laying down the hands, grazing, washing, and guarding the perimeter of the pasture.

After more than a year, the originally unruly aborigines have gone down the mountain in large numbers, tenant farmers who farm, coachmen who drive cars, small workers who have worked in various technical projects, and aborigines who work in pastures, shipyards, and iron yards.

Especially in the central region, more than 1,000 indigenous people have been absorbed in the mines and iron fields. These natives don't know how to farm, hunting looks good, in fact, it is difficult to eat and wear, slash-and-burn life can not even guarantee food and clothing, after the Han people find a job to do, these natives and their families can at least ensure that they are fed and clothed, this is a quite significant change, maybe ten or twenty years later, after all the indigenous old people pass away, the alpine natives may speak fluent Chinese, except for clothing and hair accessories and dark skin, it will not be much different from the Wei people.

Under the courtyard, there are the left-behind personnel of the First Army of the Army, which is a strong general specially selected by Qin Dongyang, with a battalion in number, with the guards and defense facilities on the periphery, even if there are more than 10,000 natives to attack, it can also ensure the safety of the courtyard here.

The defense facilities and garrison forces are sufficient, and everything is to ensure the safety of the two princesses.

There is a simple port at the mouth of the sea in the lower reaches of Huaxi, and there is a warship moored in shifts at any time, which is less than ten miles away from the courtyard, and if there is really any warning, the people in the courtyard can also get on the ship and leave in the shortest possible time.

When Xu Zixian arrived, the soldiers and officials who stayed behind had already heard Xun waiting outside the courtyard, and everyone was very interested, and they took the initiative to leave one after another after seeing the salute.

Lin Shaozong led all the guards to take precautions one after another, and only Xu Zixian walked into the gate alone, bypassing the wall carved with exquisite patterns, stepping through the threshold of the second gate, and walking onto the wet green brick paved road.

Chen Wenjun and Xiuniang both stood tall and smiling in front of the hall, while the little sister stood on the side of the eaves, her eyes were slightly red, looking at all this in front of her.

Xu Zixian felt that his eyes were sour, and he almost couldn't control his emotions.

"Big brother is back." The little sister stepped forward at the right time and said, "Is this time going to stay for a while, or will you leave in a few days?" ”

"Stay for a while." Xu Zi calmed down his emotions first, he was really almost out of shape just now. But he won't feel ashamed, the three women in front of him, two are his wives, and one is the closest blood-related sister, even if they are out of shape.

The little sister's face showed a look of doubt, but Chen Wenjun and Xiuniang showed surprise on their faces.

"Nothing has changed, everything is normal on Fujian Road and the Eastern Domain." Xu Zi walked into the hall first, drank the drink brought by Xiuniang herself, and said to the little sister: "There will be great changes in the north, and my request for tax reduction has caused an uproar, and someone in Fuzhou City will definitely jump out and tell them to quarrel for a while, and vent their grievances. It's okay to ask them to shout twice, so as to save them from holding their breath and holding back the poison, it is not good to put it into practice. In addition, it is also to hide from the imperial court's edict, and now every few days, there will be an edict from the imperial court to Fuzhou, urging me to cooperate with the transfer envoy to quickly urge the payment of the arrears of taxes, and also to levy spring taxes...... If I were to tax according to the previous share, it would be equivalent to sending my face to the countryside, and now I can only hide in the Eastern Domain. Without me, the envoys of the imperial court would not be able to find a ship to go to the Eastern Domain, so tell them to go to Fuzhou to find trouble with Li Gong and Lin Douyao. If it doesn't work, Kong Xuanping can also go up to top a ......"

Crazy words such as "sending face to the countryside", Xiaomei, Chen Wenjun, and Xiuniang don't know how many times they have heard it. Although Xu Zixian didn't say it too clearly, all the women also understood.
