"You've worked hard for a long time this year, and the population of your family has increased a lot, right?" Although Qin Wang's first impression of the village was very bad, he also knew that Yang Xuan was already very difficult, which could be seen from yesterday, what else could he force?

"Our village now has more than 1,200 households and a population of nearly 5,000 people. Among them, there are more than 1,400 young and strong women, more than 1,000 strong women, nearly 2,000 children under the age of 15, and the rest are old people. Yang Xuan frowned and said, the huge population pressure has always been his biggest heart problem.

"Yang Xuan, it's really good, it's really good to develop Qinjia Village so big in just one year, and also feed the people of the whole village." Hearing these figures, Qin Forget was also very happy. After more than a year of absence, Qinjia Village is so huge. This is all the credit of Yang Xuan and the others, Qin Forget praised at the moment.

Hearing Qin Forget say this, Yang Xuan was very happy in his heart, and felt that the hard work of more than a year had been worth it. What makes him even happier is that the owner is back, and he won't have to work hard to support him in the future.

"What the owner said, taking care of Qinjia Village is Yang Xuan's mission. Besides, this is not my credit alone, Mrs. Chen has scattered all her family wealth for our Qinjia Village, and even sold all the shops outside, if it weren't for her continuous high price to buy food, I wouldn't be able to support it. Yang Xuan said modestly.

"Well, I know. Mrs. Chen, then I will give her an explanation. By the way, the population structure of our Qinjia Village does not seem to be very reasonable, 2,000 young men and women have to feed 5,000 people, that is to say, one person has to feed two or three people, including himself, which is not a small pressure. ”

"The proprietor is right, these few large-scale recruitment of refugees have recruited a large number of children who have little labor. These little ones are not big, but they can eat one by one. Not only that, most of the men gathered at the monkey's nest to cut down trees and clear the wasteland, in fact, their usual life depended on those women, and the pressure was indeed too great. Yang Xuan frowned and said.

"Our Qinjia Village really owes too much to these women, Yang Xuan, we will compensate these women well in the future. By the way, how is the field in the monkey's nest? Qin Forget also frowned and asked, he didn't expect that the original kindness of Yi Yi made Qinjia Village have so many children without labor, and they are all a huge burden.

"Refugees are easy to recruit, fertile land is difficult to open, so far the monkey nest reclaimed fertile land is only more than 2,000 acres, because it is still raw land, and there is only less than 1,500 stone of wheat harvested every year, even if you don't have to pay taxes to Akagi now, it is not enough to eat." Yang Xuan's face became even more bitter.

Looking at Yang Xuan's expression, Qin Forget couldn't help but be happy, "I said Lao Yang, someone has land, what are we afraid of?" Rest assured, we won't starve. ”

Qin Wangyao pointed to the monkey's nest in the depths of the mountain, "In a year, I will ask for 10,000 acres of fertile land there!" ”

10,000 acres Yang Xuan looked at Qin Wang's high-spirited appearance, and his heart was a little drumming, he had only reclaimed more than a thousand acres of land after a year of hard work, and it would not take ten times to reclaim ten thousand acres of land if he wanted to reclaim ten thousand acres of land

Manpower? Not to mention whether Qinjia Village can be fed, there is no place for Qinjia Village to settle just so many people, right? Although he thought so, he couldn't bear to say it after all.

Seeing Yang Xuan's appearance, Qin Forget certainly knew what he was thinking, and he didn't want to explain, if he could do it or not, let the facts speak.

"By the way, Yang Xuan, why are these houses built in a mess? There is time to re-plan, not only is it not good-looking, but it is also prone to plague outbreaks. You smell it, and the air is full of stench. Qin Forget pointed to the messy house next to him and said in a tactful tone as much as possible.

Hearing Qin Forget say this, Yang Xuan's old face turned red, and he also felt that it was not the same now, but he couldn't even fill his stomach before, so he didn't spend energy and time on it for the time being.

"Well, okay owner, I'll arrange for someone to re-plan and build a new house." He said curtly.

"Yang Xuan, I don't blame you, I know that you are very hard, and you don't have the energy and manpower to take care of this. However, neat and sturdy houses not only keep warm and hygienic, but also save a large area of land and improve the sense of belonging of the villagers. If you look at the way it is now, the slums are the same, not only do they take up a lot of land, but the villagers don't want to live in them. You're right? ”

Yang Xuan nodded yes again and again, seeing Qin Wang's feelings of taking care of him like this, his heart was also full of emotion.

"How much food do we have?" Qin Forget asked the question he was most concerned about.

Yang Xuan smiled bitterly, "There are still 1,000 stones of grain, and the average distribution to each person's head is only more than 20 catties." There are still a lot of dried fish and other groceries, more than 500 stones, but it is only enough for a month. In particular, those young people who reclaim wasteland work hard and eat a lot, and they have to consume the grain of ordinary young people for more than two months a month. ”

"Only enough for a month? So little? ”

"Yes, in fact, it has been like this for more than a year, barely starving to death, constantly eating, and there is really not much food left. It's all the Akagi Prefectural Government that collects taxes. Over the past year, they have increased the taxes of our Qinjia Village, and now they have reached nine. Yang Xuan was very annoyed.

"No, this problem must be solved, you can let me think about it. By the way, I see that there are a lot more soldiers in the village, there are 500 people, right? There was no good way for a while, Qin Forget decided to go back and think again, and asked another question that he was very concerned about.

Speaking of this, Yang Xuan became happy, "That's right, now we have five hundred soldiers from the whole village. Two hundred men were armed with long knives of the Great Swallow standard, and the remaining three hundred were armed with spears. In addition, there are three hundred spears in stock. It is divided into five hundred teams, the first team of long knives is Ding Chen, the second team is Duan Jiu, the first team of spears is Su Dingnan, the second team is Cao Qing, the third team is Liu Meng, and Aunt Duan is the head of fifty archers. ”

"Team?" Qin Forget asked suspiciously, "Changed the military system?" ”

"Yes, after all, we are not an army that the imperial court is compiling, and if we still use the imperial court's establishment, I'm afraid there will be trouble. So that's all it takes to compile these simple ones. Yang Xuan explained, "The owner, you see if you want to change it back."

Go? ”

"No need, you've thought about it, so be it for now."

Qin Forget lingered in front of Chen Wan'er's door for a while.

He himself couldn't figure out what kind of feelings he had for Chen Wan'er. used to regard her as a benefactor and business partner, but later he desperately saved their mother and son, and once thought it was to repay the favor. Now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid he doesn't know why. And now, she simply moved to Qinjia Village, and even more so that Qinjia Village was almost bankrupt, this kindness, Qin Forget has a headache when he thinks about it, and he can't pay it back!

"Village Chief Qin, why are you sneaky? Come in if you want to come in. Qinglian came out to take out the garbage, just in time to see Qin Wang, and said unceremoniously and sneeringly.

Not to mention, although this Qinglian is in a dark place all day long with Half Moon, this temper is exactly the same, they are all spicy, unforgiving, and the character of their own lady when the sky falls.

"Ugh。。。。。。 I want to ask Mrs. for something, I don't know if Mrs. has rested? I don't know where I offended this little aunt and grandmother, Qin Forget touched his nose in embarrassment.

"Not yet, come in." Qinglian glanced at Qin Forget, turned around and walked back.

Qin Forget looked at the courtyard that was exactly the same as that of ordinary villagers, and couldn't help but think of Chen Wan'er's big mansion in Chicheng County, which was bigger than the entire Qinjia Village, and felt a little more grateful to Chen Wan'er in his heart.

"Madam, Village Chief Qin is here." Qinglian opened the door curtain, and a warm fragrance made Qin Wang's spirit for a while.

"Forget your uncle, forget your uncle!" Without waiting for Qin Forget to see the people in the room clearly, Xiao Wang Chengcheng jumped off the kang without wearing shoes, and trotted into Qin Wang's arms.

"Ouch, Xiao Wang Chengdu has grown so tall!" Seeing the lively and lovely Wang Cheng, Qin Forget was also very happy, and picked up Wang Cheng and hugged him in his arms.

"Uncle Forget, where have you been? I miss you so much. Wang Cheng asked crisply with his big hairy eyes like his mother.

"Uncle went to a far away place to learn skills, and Uncle misses you so much." Qin Forget rubbed Xiao Wangcheng's cheek with his head dotingly, and teased Xiao Wangcheng giggled.

Chen Wan'er looked at Qin Wang and Xiao Wang Cheng with a smile, and at that moment it seemed that she thought that she was seeing her husband Wang Zhen teasing her son, and she was unconsciously stupid.

"Sister Wan'er, you must have something to talk about, I'll go first." Qin Qing's deep voice came from beside her, and Chen Wan'er was excited, and a flush immediately appeared on her face.

Qin forgot not to pay attention, it turned out that Qin Qing was also there.

"Oh, okay, okay, girl, come back and play." Chen Wan'er didn't hear what Qin Qing was saying at all, and she didn't keep Qin Qing in a gaffe.

Qin Qing lowered his head and was just about to walk past Qin Wang, "Qing'er, wait, there are too many things just now, I'll go to see you and Aunt Xiu tomorrow." Qin Forget stopped Qin Qing and said apologetically.

"Hmm." Qin Qing didn't look up, hummed softly, and walked out quickly.
