Chapter 171: The First Pass of the Great Wall 2
"What about the soldiers who have no relatives at home? How to divide the land? Zhou Nan turned the topic back to the matter of land division and asked with concern.
The court then learned about this, and it was also changed in the "Land Decree", saying that the soldiers were allowed to choose the place where they would settle in a day, and register and divide the land in the place of residence. There are no soldiers in the city, and Da Lang can rest assured. Jia Laoliu said eloquently.
From Jia Laoliu's eloquent speech, Zhou Nan can also know that the "Land Decree" he drafted has been discussed and continuously improved by the princess and ministers of Shu Kingdom, and has been spread out from top to bottom, and everyone can know and be satisfied in this small county town far away from Yanjing, at least everyone at the bottom is satisfied, which is very good.
"Have the fields of Guiyi and Xincheng been divided?" Zhou Nan asked again.
"As soon as the new law was implemented, it was already divided, and now the people in the county are cultivating new wasteland. There is no wasteland for dozens of miles around the county seat. Even in the hills to the north, there are already people who have gone. Jia Laoliu said to Zhou Nan with a pleased smile.
"The land in the mountains is barren, and it is even more laborious to open up the wasteland, but it is difficult for them."
"Da Lang doesn't know anything, and these people are also very shrewd. They all went to three or five families together, and everyone divided the reclaimed new fields. Jia Laoliu explained.
"Hmm. If you don't have livestock or farm tools, you naturally have to rely on people. Zhou Nan said with deep sympathy.
"Speaking of farm tools, the imperial court also issued a notice a few days ago, selecting all walks of life as excellent craftsmen, regardless of Fanhan, as long as they are skilled, they can go to Yanjing City to participate in the imperial court will be the supervisor assessment, passed, you can stay in the general as a supervisor, enter the general as a supervisor, not only the salary is high, but also have the opportunity to be an official, so that these days the craftsmen in the county go to Yanjing a lot, tired blacksmith shop cast a lot less farm tools." Jia Laoliu complained.
"Sixth brother, aren't you a blacksmith? Why not try your hand at it? Zhou Nan joked to Jia Laoliu. At the same time, he also secretly sighed that Yu Liyan's actions were so fast, the matter of the field had just been done, and now he was going to form his own proposed general as a supervisor.
Jia Lao Liu grinned and said: "In the cottage, I am still a blacksmith, but outside, my craft can only be regarded as an apprentice." How dare you go to Yanjing to make a fool of yourself? If you let the princess know, isn't it the one who lost you? ”
As he was talking, a man in his thirties dressed in a reddish-brown official uniform hurriedly walked over, and when Jia Laoliu saw it, he beckoned and said, "Guo County Order, this is General Zhou, the current concubine." ”
The man hurriedly saluted Zhou Nan and said, "Xiaguan Guo Zhiwen, meet General Zhou." ”
Zhou Nan hurriedly said: "Guo County's order is exempt from etiquette, I passed by Guiyi, not to meet on official business, Guo County's order does not need to be formal." I heard that Guo County's order was born as a Jinshi, and he was also a talent to be a county commander in Guiyi and Xincheng. ”
"Where. Xia Guan is a Jinshi of Tianqing for seven years, and it has been six years since he was on the list. Fortunately, thanks to General Zhou and the princess, the Great Liao was able to maintain the national unity. When the court saw the edict, the officials were willing to govern the people and report to serve the monarchy! ”
"The imperial court recently issued the "Land Decree", and it is going to recruit craftsmen, I don't know what Guo County Decree thinks?" Zhou Nan asked deliberately.
"Farmers, food, the people take food as the sky, and if there is food, they will be safe. Although I Yanjing has mountains, swamps, and salted barren land, after all, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields, proper cultivation, and self-sufficiency in food; The ingenuity of the craftsman can make all kinds of things used in the country not be sought by others, or even sold to other countries, and can give me the financial resources of Daliao. Since the promulgation of the edict on land and craftsmen, the masses have been enthusiastic, and it is expected that our Daliao will prosper and restore the country! Guo Zhiwen said to Zhou Nan.
Speaking from the heart, it is already commendable for a person of this era to realize the truth that food is sufficient and the people are safe, and that craftsmanship is strong. Zhou Nan couldn't help but write down this Guo Zhiwen in his heart.
After chatting again, Zhou Nan and Jia Laoliu returned to the county government to rest.
The next day, Zhou Nan and Xiao Jiu, with Ma Daqiu's personal guards, still used a carriage to pull Zhou Fu and went straight to Sanssouci Village. Since Zhou Fu's injury was in the joint, the bumps in the carriage were much smaller than those on the horse. So Zhou Nan let Zhou Fu be in the carriage all the way.
Zhou Fu's mother lived in the courtyard of Gaoyuan, Zhou Nan drove the carriage directly to the gate of the courtyard, asked Xiao Jiu'er to call Lao Zheng Tou, and helped Zhou Fu into the courtyard.
Gao Yun was not at home, only Zhou Fu's wife was there. Although Zhou Fu's wife was reasonable and did not have a word of complaint, Zhou Nan looked at the distressed expression on Zhou Fu's mother's face, and only felt unbearable in his heart, leaving Zhou Fu to talk to his mother, and he came outside with a heavy heart.
Lao Zheng Tou and Xiao Jiu'er hurriedly came, and Zhou Nan briefly told Zhou Fu about his injury, and asked Lao Zheng Tou to go in to see if there was any hope of healing.
Hearing the news of Zhou Nan's return, Gao Yun also hurried back. Seeing that Zhou Nan was not smiling at the corners of his mouth like usual, he knew that Zhou Nan had something on his mind. Gao Yun poured a cup of tea for Zhou Nan first, and then asked Zhou Nan what was difficult.
Zhou Nan told Zhou Fu about his injury again, and Gao Yun persuaded: "Dalang, you don't have to be like this, the knife is right away, and there will inevitably be a mistake." It's a big deal that Brother Fu will live a peaceful life in the cottage in the future, and he doesn't have to fight outside, so Aunt Zhou is happy. ”
Zhou Nan smiled reluctantly and said to Gao Yun: "Right now, Big Brother Gao and Big Brother Yang are still in Yuguan, and they have to watch out for the attack of the Jin soldiers every day. I really don't know when this day of fighting will end. Even you work hard every day, and even Brother Gao and I can't stay by your side. ”
Gao Yun looked at Zhou Nan's slightly tired and emaciated face, although this face was more stable than a year ago, but it has also changed a lot, there is less childishness in his eyes, and he is a little more worried, Gao Yun gently walked behind Zhou Nan, put a pair of delicate hands as tender as onion fingers on Zhou Nan's shoulders, gently rubbed Zhou Nan, and said: "In the past, the slave family only felt that a worry-free village was very good, and it could allow many families to live well. But when the slave family arrived in Yanjing City, they learned that there were still many people in the world, who were not as good as pigs and dogs, and they couldn't even raise their wives and children, and ten-year-old children were scattered everywhere. The slave family knew that Dalang did the right thing, you were given by God to Sanssouci Village, and it was destined to be given to the people of Yanjing. As long as you and your eldest brother take care of themselves, the slave family will settle the border as soon as possible and come back as soon as possible. ”
"Don't worry! This time, the matter of Pingzhou was solved, and you can come back with peace of mind. Zhou Nan held Gao Yun's hand with his hand and said: "When Pingzhou Yuguan is settled, the entire Yanjing and Pingzhou will be like this worry-free village, and they can't attack from all sides." You don't have to fight all day. ”
"It's not in vain that you and your eldest brother have worked hard." Gao Yun said happily.
"Needless to say, it's hard. It's just that it's time for Big Brother Gao to get married. Zhou Nan suddenly turned around and stared at Gao Yun with a smile and said.
"Who did the eldest brother marry?" Gao Yun asked strangely, and suddenly realized that Zhou Nan was reminding himself by borrowing the word "marriage", and couldn't help but be ashamed, and ran out with a fingernail in Zhou Nan's hand.
