Chapter 104: Burnt Out
、、、、、、、
(The cold wind sends the highest greetings to the brothers who are still fighting on the front line of reading in the midst of such a festival!) Happy Holidays to all! )
Seeing that it is the beginning of the spring festival, the spring ploughing that everyone is looking forward to is also coming, and judging from the news sent back by the Xingtian Army from Zezhou, the Zezhou side has no intention of approaching Yangcheng County to suppress them at all, and the money that Xiao Tianjian spent in advance finally played a role, and the Xingtian Army became even busier at this time. ()
The land reform of the townships has been completely completed at this time, not only the old local residents have been allocated food, and even a group of displaced people who rushed early in the early stage have settled down here, and have been allocated land, and the displaced people in some surrounding places have heard the news, and they have also begun to spontaneously pour into the area controlled by the Xingtian Army. As a result, the population of the area controlled by the Xingtian Army has swelled by nearly one-third.
And this influx of displaced people was also registered and resettled by the Xingtian Army, and the villages vacated by the merged villages were used to settle these displaced people, and some of the remaining land was allocated to them.
In addition to dividing the fields, seeing that spring ploughing is coming, Xiao Tianjian also has to distribute the farm tools they prepared in advance and the ploughing cattle, mules and horses snatched from outside, after all, before they came, the people here were already poor as pants, many families did not even have a decent farm tool, ploughing cattle, donkeys and mules and other things, not to mention the need, except for a very small number of people who still have a little bit of financial resources and still have one or two heads, the vast majority of the rest of the families are unable to support such large livestock.
If, with their current ability, even if the land is allocated to them, these ordinary people can only use very rudimentary tools to cultivate, and it is impossible for them to quickly restore large tracts of abandoned land.
And what Xiao Tianjian wants now is speed, he can't wait for two years to slowly do these things, so even if it is the first year of spring ploughing, he wants to reclaim the wasteland as much as possible and plant food, in order to feed more people in a shorter time.
Therefore, livestock and farm tools have become the key to the success or failure of spring ploughing in the first year, for which the Xingtian army has made quite adequate preparations in advance, Xiao Tianjian even did not hesitate to let Shuangfeng Zhai iron work slow down to build weapons, and pulled out a large number of blacksmiths and carpenters to create various farm tools for spring ploughing.
And one winter, in the process of compiling household registration, a group of disabled soldiers of the Xingtian Army were also sent down to serve as security chiefs in various townships and villages, so that the tentacles of the Xingtian Army finally extended to the most basic households, so that several things went hand in hand, making many things simpler in the future.
After a lot of busy work, the farm tools they had stockpiled and the donkeys, mules, and ploughing cattle were gradually distributed, because the number of ploughing cattle and some farm tools was still limited, and it was impossible for each family to distribute a set, so that several families were given a set, and the first chief was responsible for the management, and then arranged by the first chief to be the user, and the first chief was also responsible for managing and taking care of the livestock, so as not to use excessively, and these large animals that were hard to get were exhausted to death in the spring season.
The work before the whole spring ploughing is huge and complicated, for the first time to do this kind of thing, the upper and lower people of the Xingtian Army do not have too much experience, even if there is Fu Deming, a capable person, it is not possible, although many things are considered in advance and thought that they have been sufficient, but when the actual operation, there are still a lot of various problems.
Xiao Tianjian almost didn't sleep a full night during this period, so he simply built a simple bed in his "room" and lived here, dealing with all kinds of temporary things at any time.
And the security chiefs who have just been distributed everywhere are also very motivated because of their lack of experience, but their ability is very poor, their working methods are simple, plus they have not read, they can't read a single big word, and even some people can't count more than ten fingers, and many things are in their hands, and they will simply catch blind, and even the distribution of some cattle and farm tools will be messed up by them.
Some of the ideas in Xiao Tianjian's original plan were still too simple, and it was indeed a little difficult for these big and rough people to do this kind of work, but now he was facing such a problem, there were too few and too few officials at the bottom of his hands, so that he had to use these big and rough people to do something beyond their power.
At this time, Xiao Tianjian understood the difficulty of changing a social structure, and the reason why China has formed such a social structure for more than a thousand years does not seem to be without reason, but he has basically abandoned the most basic link in the middle, so many things that seem simple are not easy to carry out after arranging.
Originally, he was a military general, but now he has to lie at the table every day because of the lack of clerks, to deal with a large number of things that should have been handled by clerks, the result is that he does not eat and sleep well, fights every day and night, and is tired of dealing with all kinds of complicated things.
The people who deliver all kinds of news are in and out of the lotus village like a shuttle, and the miscellaneous things encountered everywhere are constantly passed to the village and handed over to Xiao Tianjian to deal with, Xiao Tianjian has to take the trouble to deal with these troublesome things that seem small in his eyes, and it can be said that he has been overwhelmed.
Tietou, as his 'chief guard', saw Xiao Tianjian so busy every day, it hurt in his eyes and heart, and he wanted to help Xiao Tianjian! He didn't know a few big words, and many things couldn't help at all, so Xiao Tianjian could only keep working by himself.
And Xiao Tianjian's people who knew how to write on hand were basically released and went to the grassroots level to help with things, and many copywriters were sent to him, but there was not even a person to help sort it out, and in a few days, his small room was basically piled up into a hill, and he was about to be buried in it.
Seeing that Xiao Tianjian was busy on all fours, and he couldn't help, Tietou really couldn't think of a good way, so he went to Houzhai and told Fan Ling'er about it, Fan Ling'er originally secretly complained that Xiao Tianjian didn't go to Houzhai for a long time, looked at her, and after listening to Tietou's words, he knew that Xiao Tianjian didn't deliberately snub her, but really couldn't spare the energy to go to Houzhai.
So Fan Linger wanted to go to the front to help Xiao Tianjian, even if she couldn't help, at least she could take care of Xiao Tianjian's daily life, but Xiao Tianjian had his life first, and the relatives of the generals of the Xingtian Army did not get the Qianzhai to interfere in military affairs, and Xiao Tianjian did not speak, and she did not dare to go to the Qianzhai to find Xiao Tianjian without authorization and volunteered to help Xiao Tianjian.
Fan Ling'er is also a very smart girl, after sitting in the back village and thinking about it for a while, she thought of an idea, and thought of a person, that is, Fan Yutong, who also lives in the back village.
Fan Yutong is different from her and Die'er's identity, Fan Yutong is obviously tied up by Xingtianjun, in fact, important personnel know that Fan Yutong and Xiao Tianjian are more similar to friends, Xiao Tianjian will always take Fan Yutong out of Lotus Village, even if there is no 'adultery' between the two, at least Fan Yutong can be regarded as Xiao Tianjian's confidante, and Fan Yutong does not belong to the category of relatives, so Fan Yutong only needs to find Xiao Tianjian, then she hopes to go to Qianzhai to help Xiao Tianjian.
And when Fan Linger found Fan Yutong, Fan Yutong was bored wandering around the back village to see the scenery, after listening to Fan Linger's words, Fan Yutong understood why Xiao Tianjian didn't come to see her at all these days, she was also angry about this matter! thought that Xiao Tianjian had now used her, so that Xing Tianjun had already hooked up with her family, so he didn't need her, so he simply stopped paying attention to her, and now after listening to Fan Ling'er's words, she realized that it was not Xiao Tianjian who ignored her, but really didn't have time!
So Fan Yutong nodded and agreed to Fan Linger, anyway, she and Fan Linger were also very familiar with each other during this time, knowing that Fan Linger was also a kind-hearted girl, the two of them got along relatively happily, and she also liked to get along with that guy, so after agreeing, she asked someone to inform Xiao Tianjian, saying that she wanted to see him.
Xiao Tianjian was busy in the room, and when he heard the iron head report that Fan Yutong wanted to see him, he was a little impatient at first, and felt that he didn't have time to care about this girl, but after thinking about it, he still asked people to invite Fan Yutong in.
Fan Yutong was also taken aback as soon as he entered Xiao Tianjian's 'room', and then he completely understood how busy Xiao Tianjian had been during this time, so he smiled and said: "The big boss seems to be really in charge!" ”
Xiao Tianjian smiled bitterly and said, "What a day! It's all trivial things, now that spring ploughing is imminent, many of the security chiefs sent down don't know how to do things at all, and make a mess of things, and I don't have a few people here who are good at handling these chores, and many things have to be done by themselves!
At the moment, my strength is still shallow, and I can't recruit a few serious readers to handle these civil affairs for me, so I have to work on my own!
I don't know what kind of wind blew Miss Fan to me? I wonder what Miss Fan has to say to me today? ”
Fan Yutong was not busy answering Xiao Tianjian's words, but pointed to a few pieces of paper on the table and asked Xiao Tianjian, "Can I take a look?" ”
Xiao Tianjian looked at the pieces of paper on the table, so he smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid Miss Fan will laugh after reading it!" If Miss Fan is willing to watch it, just take a look! ”
Fan Yutong was not polite to him, picked it up and looked at it, and really laughed, the things written on it are really some small things that cannot be smaller, but these things have to be handled by Xiao Tianjian personally, it seems that Xiao Tianjian's subordinates should be able to fight, but when it comes to dealing with civil affairs, it is really a mess.
So she smiled indifferently and said, "It's really all small things!" In my opinion, these things can be done in this way......"
