In fact, in addition to large-scale reclamation of wasteland and renovation of Feitian, a small county in Linqu could not take out a large amount of usable land to reward the generals for a while, especially after more than 10,000 displaced people came to vote, the contradiction of more people and less land was more prominent. Yu Zhilong first ensured that the people of the county would have land, and after some of the outsiders had land, he planned to organize small-scale farming or reclamation, or raise livestock and poultry by hiring workers to contract and harvest dividends at the end of the year.

Moreover, the Jing'an Army still has a lot of military land, and the senior generals in the army have also divided a lot of fertile land this time, and it is inevitable to hire people to farm, after all, it is impossible for the generals to put down their weapons and go to farming.

Although small farmers are extremely concerned about the harvest of their own grain fields and are generally able to work hard, this enthusiasm can indeed greatly stimulate the recovery of agricultural work, but it is limited to organizational ability and their own interests, and they often do not take the initiative to help their neighbors, and because of their limited ability, many of the things that consume a lot of man-hours and a large amount of work cannot be completed by a single family.

The form of association can effectively concentrate the power of some farmers; As for the hired people to cultivate the fields given by the military fields and the generals, Yu Zhilong decided to adopt a larger-scale model of association employment.

In order to recover better and faster and develop production, Yu Zhilong decided to recruit some displaced people, regardless of men, women and children, as long as they can work and contribute.

The young and strong are selected to cultivate the fields, and the women and children, the old and the weak, can raise poultry and livestock. The families of the displaced people who have returned to them can be fully mobilized, so that people can work hard and have a place to belong, and the hidden dangers of disturbing the local area can be greatly avoided.

When it comes to building farm tools and repairing irrigation facilities, Yu Zhilong and Xie Lin are not able to have a good solution for a while.

The Yuan court has always had strict control over ironware, even to the point where several families share a kitchen knife. Since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the mining and smelting of government-run mines have been more and more wasteful, the less copper and iron the annual income is, and the price of private mining income is getting higher and higher, so the purchase of hoes, plows, sickles, nail rakes and other things is by no means easy for small peasant households, and there are not many of these agricultural tools in ordinary peasant homes.

Only large families have no worries about farm tools. However, after confiscating and distributing the inferior gentry, and covering the wealth of the powerful people, the number of new households increased dramatically, and not all families could get it all.

Especially before the war, in order to make swords, guns and arrows, the prefectural and blacksmith shops completely used up the wrought iron stock. It was also impossible to purchase iron farming tools from the areas controlled by the Yuan court, which was why Yu Zhilong planned to use associations and large-scale collective labor as the main reason, so that cattle and horses and farming tools could at least communicate with each other, which could greatly improve the efficiency of labor.

Tian Lie was a little worried: "There are strengths and weaknesses, people are not the same kind, the general's mind must be more in the battalion, and the rise or fall of this civil depends on the local officials." Although this law can gather the strength of all people, if it is promulgated for a long time, will it produce the disadvantages of being like a pseudo-Yuan Xu official, who does not want to forge ahead, and will invade the people? He was worried that after the long-term implementation of this model, the government would not be able to supervise effectively, and the president and others would inevitably encroach on the people with selfish intentions.

Although Xie Lin admired the way of association and labor, he did not express his position on this worry, Tian Lie was hidden in the city, without worry, so his words were unscrupulous. Hearing Tian Lie's speech, Xie Lin turned his head to look at Yu Zhilong, not knowing how he would answer.

"There is no perfect thing in the world, this law is just an emergency measure, if it can solve the urgent need, when you can continue to plan and improve, whether it is an association or large-scale labor, you need the first person to guide, what we have to do is to plan the supervision system as much as possible, choose a person with a square temperament to do, as for the source of the supervisor, for the time being, one is a county official, one is a civil morality, both perform their duties together, can not be abandoned; In addition, the principle of more work and more rewards must be practiced in this cultivation and final harvest. ”

Yu Zhilong said while thinking for a while, but Tian Lie was unconsciously refreshed when he heard it, and asked: "I don't know what the general means by 'labor'?" ”

"Naturally, it is mainly to have more labor, not to miss work, and not to delay."

"But there are all kinds of things in farming, turning the soil, fertilizing, weeding, irrigating, repelling insects, harvesting, threshing, moving, and so on. Tian Lie asked again.

"The county can come up with an outline of the association's work, finalize the detailed rules, and the specific judgment can be agreed upon by the people of the society, after all, the amount of each person's contribution is different from one society to another, and it is not appropriate to apply one size fits all. Also, those who work hard also get something! When Yu Zhilong said this, he looked at Xie Lin, "How to draw up the outline as soon as possible requires Xie County Yin to work hard!" ”

"The elder order, don't dare to resign, you can do what you want!" Xie Lin hurriedly bowed back.

Then Xie Lin straightened up and said: "If farming is fast and labor-saving, it is inseparable from the power of cattle and horses, and the wiping and maintenance of farm tools. The subordinates thought that those who were able to take care of the livestock and agricultural implements should also be treated as laborers, and that women and children, though infirm, could do their best in feeding cattle and sheep, poultry and other matters. ”

"Great goodness." Yu Zhilong praised.

"In addition, there are many hills, mountains, and tidal flats in the south and west of the city, and his subordinates thought that they might as well encourage the displaced people to sow more pasture grass in order to store livestock and poultry, and to grow a variety of fast-growing trees so that they could obtain firewood in the future, and the benefits of this plant would go to those who contributed to it. Nowadays, the population inside and outside the city has increased greatly, and heating in winter is a big problem, and if you don't make early calculations, it may not be sustainable to rely on the existing grass and trees on the mountains alone. Schelling continued.

Yu Zhilong and Tian Lie praised in unison: "It's rare that Xie County Yin's heart is as careful as a hair, this should be done, don't be late!" ”

Yu Zhilong originally had an outline, but after a detailed discussion with Xie Lin and Tian Lie, he suddenly had a headache considering these details. After winning the battle, I felt even more pressured. The civil affairs are as urgent as fire, and all kinds of affairs cannot be delayed, and it is really not easy to keep the soldiers and civilians under his command fed and clothed.

In fact, Xie Lin was even more surprised, but Yu Zhilong knew a lot about farming, especially the planning and accounting, which was quite organized, even if he was not much with the experienced household department. He used to have the strength but no strong support from the county Daru Hua Chi beggar, etc., and could only try his best to maintain the operation of the county, and now it is rare for Yu Zhilong to be so concerned about people's livelihood and civil affairs, and he finally has a chance to show his talents, and now the Jing'an Army is only confined to a small county, if there is really a dragon in the wild, he will be able to follow Yu Zhilong to rise and show his ambitions!

Yuan History: Three members of the Wailang, from the six products, in charge of the world's household registration, money and grain, and land decrees. The scripture of the cashier, the method of transferring gold coins, the accumulation of the government and the treasury, the straightness of the goods and goods, and the appropriateness of dispersing and refutating them, they can all be arbitrary.

Tian Lie had a deep talk with the two of them this time, and couldn't help but think more highly of Zhilong, Xie Lin's talent he already knew, and now he saw Yu Zhilong put forward a set of civil programs, which is quite in line with today's current situation, and some of the content of the thinking is far beyond the Yuan court officials, although there is a lack of some details to consider, but Yu Zhilong is the main general of one party, these details should be supplemented and improved by Xie Lin and other subordinates, Yu Zhilong only needs to grasp the direction.

How far can a general who can govern the army and know how far can he go in this troubled world, Tian Lie pondered, and his heart made waves.

Tian Lie thought about his thoughts, and Yu Zhilong suddenly said to him: "Mr. is virtuous and elegant, I ask for something cheeky, I don't know?" ”

Tian Lie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Why does the general need to be so humble, the old man has read the sage book for a few years, and he dares to be worthy of the reputation of a general!" The general can do his best, and the little old man should do his best! ”

"Tired, I had selected some of the smart boys and sergeants' children before the war to ask Mr. to educate them, and now I still feel that there are many vulgar people in the army, and the military is almost impossible to convey, and the soldiers are difficult to distinguish the flag, now I think about the original selection of people is still insufficient, and ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, the more literate soldiers in the army is the best, if Mr. does not give up, can you educate more people?"

Tian Lie replied angrily: "A little thing, why worry about it!" The general commanded it. ”

"It may be a shortage of manpower to take care of and educate these people alone, but Mr. can choose a righteous person in the city to assist, and all of them will be sent out by the army on a monthly basis."

"I see that there are hundreds, even thousands of children in and out of the city, if there is no elder teaching, laissez-faire, it is a pity, so I hope that Mr. will come forward, based on the county school, appropriately recruit some children to educate, so that they can understand things, understand agricultural affairs, know geography, and practice etiquette, but do not do books. This matter takes a long time, requires manpower and material resources, and I want to ask Mr. to plan and build a new school, I don't know if it is possible? ”

"This matter is very good, the merit is in the future, the general has this benevolence, the old people thank the general for his kindness, please accept it!" Tian Lie was in awe, came to Yu Zhilong, and dressed up to worship.

In order to show his respect to the other party, the scribe often bowed solemnly, this Tian Lie got up, bluffed Yu Zhilong to hurry up to help, he was just a young general, how could he receive this great gift?

Xie Lin saw Tian Lie get up and wanted to worship, and he also followed: "The general saves the people from fire and water, and Sang Zi is like a rain in a long drought, and now he plans for a hundred years, which shows the wisdom of the lord, Xie is not talented, he will saddle the horse before and after the general, and he dare not be slow!" After speaking, he also bowed deeply.

Yu Zhilong was already unwell, and it was impossible to support the two of them at the same time, he was a little slow, he got up a little late, and Tian Lie had already knelt down in front of him.

Helpless, Yu Zhilong simply bowed to him, Sun Xing was the duty of the guard, and at this time, he saw the three of them worshipping each other, and he was standing alone on the side, which was really not good-looking. simply bowed to the two of them after Yu Zhilong.

Tian Lie saw Yu Zhilong bow in return, and bowed again, Yu Zhilong had to continue to bow back, the four of them bowed to each other a few times, and suddenly looked at each other and smiled, they all felt happy in their hearts, and they had never experienced it.

A few people got up and returned to their seats, Sun Xing filled the three of them with tea and stepped aside.

"Xiao Ya Xiao Mou" recorded: "Huai Sang and Zi must be respectful." The father of the bandits, the mother of the bandits. It means that seeing Sangzi is easy to cause nostalgia for his parents, so he is respectful, and later generations will take Sangzi as the name of his hometown. Xie Lin has been a local official for a long time, and now he has taken refuge in Yu Zhilong here, and has taken Linqu City as his hometown.

Yu Zhilong didn't understand the scriptures of poetry, and he didn't know the deep meaning of Xie Lin's words, but when he saw Xie Lin's words, he knew that his surrender was even worse, and he was still happy in his heart. This post-war organization of the aftermath, rewarding the army with food, etc., Xie Lin was brilliant, and even Yu Zhilong's mind.

After winning the battle, the Shuntian army finally had a place to stay, and Tian Lie and Xie Lin were finally relieved. Although Xie Lin had the intention of following, he was demoted to the Yuan court, and if he did not surrender, he would die, and he had to be attached to the situation. Tian Lie is just a grass farmer, and he can choose whether to belong wholeheartedly or not.

Now the Shuntian Army has shown its strength, especially the strength of the Jing'an Army, and has finally won Tian Lie's approval. Although Tian Lie agreed with Zhilong's proposition in the early stage, in the troubled times, who would not hesitate to die, and this matter involved the safety of family relatives and friends, Tian Lie did not dare to stand with him openly.

Yesterday, Tian Lie and everyone saw at the celebration meeting, deeply touched, Yu Zhilong's department was persistent, repeatedly broke the strong enemy, if you can strategize in the future, the soldiers use their lives, the people are devoted, and there will be no great achievements.

Moreover, Yu Zhilong does not only pay attention to the military, but also pays attention to civil affairs and education, in Tian Lie's view, this is a sign of the British master. Thinking about Kong Ying's words at the beginning, I feel that this nephew seems to have more vision.

Tian Lie bowed again and said: "There is only one school in the city, if these thousands of people are placed at the same time, it will definitely be insufficient. For the sake of today's plan, it is better to choose a place outside the city to build a school, and it is advisable to expand it in the city. ”

Yu Zhilong pondered for a while and said: "At this time, it is not appropriate to quickly and comprehensively unfold, firstly, the teachers may not be enough, and secondly, everything is prosperous at the moment, and there is a shortage of manpower and money everywhere. You can choose two or three convenient places outside the city, and you can also build a school and educate people. ”

"As for the children who are enrolled in the early school, they can be partially taught first, and the number of children is determined by the husband. Now that there are not enough people, it is impossible to become fat at one time. Seeing that Yu Zhilong was sincerely seeking talent, Tian Lie thought about it for a while and recommended four or five local people to help him in the future. Xie Lin bowed and said: "Cheng Shilin, the original master of the subordinate, Huai Jin holds Yu, capable and accessible, it is the talent to worry about civil affairs, please check it and use it." ”

"Oh, the old genus of the king, you will know, since it is available, let it be the counselor among them." This Cheng Shilin, Yu Zhilong has the impression that he is a white-faced and bearded official, more than forty years old, older than Xie Lin, because Xie Lin is attached to himself, and most of these subordinate officials are also attached. Yu Zhilong has stayed in the county government many times, and every time he meets Yu Zhilong, he is respectful and courteous, and he is a cadre from his face.

"Don't avoid suspicion outside, don't avoid relatives inside, the two of you can do it!"

The three of them discussed some more details before Tian Lie and Xie Lin got up to leave.
