"What about sending someone else?"

"Now that the drought is intensifying, the people are afraid that most of them will have no harvest, and if there is no strong man to escort them, even if they buy grain, they will be robbed on the road. I want to wait for the successful completion of the farmland conversion work in the outer city before I ask Koharuko to buy grain. ”

"Won't it be late?"

"It's okay, no matter how late it is, it's not half a month, and within half a month, the rice must go to the ground. Half a month is also the time it takes to raise seedlings. ”

Of course, with the current soil temperature in the outer city of Jiangzuo City maintaining the most suitable temperature all year round, it is completely possible to sow seeds and sow seeds directly, eliminating the link of raising seedlings.

The reason why this link is added is entirely to grab time, grow the seedlings well in advance and then sow them, so that the time in the middle will be saved, and the grain can be harvested in advance.

Miao Yixuan nodded and didn't ask again.

"It's not early, let's go and rest early, I'm a little tired."

"Hmm."

Looking at Jiang Liu's departing back, Miao Yixuan said silently: "Dongliu, I will support you, you are not only a good person, but also a good city lord." ”

The order was issued, and the movement caused was not as big as expected.

After all, there are only a few people who own houses in the outer city, and most of them are the objects of cash for work, and the rewarded houses are also in the new city, so there is no big problem.

And many people who own residences in the outer city work in Jiangzuocheng, a little persuasion, coupled with the efforts of the important ministers of Jiangzuocheng, they have agreed to relocate, after all, they also want the relatives and friends of Xiaohua Village and Daping Village to move over, and they don't want to make too much trouble.

In addition to the half-pushed, of course, there are also those who take the initiative to relocate, Xia He's family and Xia Qingshan's family are representatives, not only took the initiative to demolish the house and build a new house in the newly planned location of the Lu Military Division, but also took the initiative to persuade others to move out.

The work of the mountain opening brigade, the grain reclamation brigade, and the forest cutting brigade has been completely stopped, and a new city demolition brigade and a new city construction brigade have been formed, and when the relocation work is completed, they will work together to reclaim and plant seedlings.

Looking at the hard-working and uncomplaining city residents, Jiang Liu was a little moved and a little glad at the same time, if it weren't for the fact that this year was a dry year, he would have a glimmer of life here, and he thought that gathering so many people in such a few months would be more difficult than climbing to the sky.

However, in two days, Xiaohua Village and Daping Village, which were extremely seriously affected, ran to Jiangzuo City with large bags.

There is not much food in the house, so I am waiting for the autumn harvest of so much grain, but I didn't expect to beep the dog, and I was eaten by the locusts, and I came to seek refuge with relatives and friends in Jiangzuocheng.

These people, men and women, young and old, were all arranged by Jiang Zuocheng to work within their ability.

Those who do not want to work will be evicted from the new city.

If you want to take refuge with your relatives, you can do so, and if your relatives have surplus food, they can directly and forcibly buy it at a parity price, which is just a contribution to the slow progress of buying food from the hands of the city's residents.

Time is half a month, the outer city has completed the rice planting work with the concerted efforts of everyone, standing on the inner city wall to see, three sides are green.

A large number of simple thatched huts have also been built in the new town, and chicken farms and duck farms have also been relocated to the new town.

On the day the rice planting was completed, Jiangliu slaughtered chickens and pigs, and killed all the fish, rewarding the whole city, so that everyone had a sense of reward.

Boiling all the fish is Jiangliu's order, after all, the new city has not been built, if there is no spirit in the outer city, the fish pond will be rancid after a long time, and when the fish dies, not to mention, the stench is unbearable, it is better to eat Lisuo first.

The short but joyful celebration banquet soon ended, and the Kaishan Brigade, the Grain Reclamation Brigade, and the Foresting Brigade were re-formed, and with the increase in the number of people in Jiangzuo City, they became more and more.

"City Lord."

"Huh...... It's Xia He, why didn't you go to stand guard and come to this kind of place? ”

"The guards in the outer city have been canceled, but sentry posts have been set up at several key points in the new city, and Captain Jiang asked us to rest in batches for a few days, so I came over to help if I couldn't stay idle."

"I remember that this is a cash-for-work farm, and everyone has a special area to be responsible for, right?"

In order to ensure the output, a special person is responsible for the implementation of special personnel, and the responsibility is seriously investigated if there is a problem, and at the same time the incentive policy is given, if the work is done well, the farmland can be shared.

Of course, the people of the city only enjoy the right to use the farmland, and the ownership belongs to Jiangzuocheng.

Unlike the first batch of agreement fields in Jiangzuocheng to hire farmers, there is a ten-year time limit, and Jiangzuocheng can not rent you when it expires, and the farmland that is rewarded is not only indefinite, but also hereditary, which greatly mobilizes the enthusiasm for production.

"Well, this is the old man who lives next door to me, he sprained his leg and insisted on coming, so I came over to help."

Kind people are always easy to gain the favor of others, Jiang Liu walked forward with a smile and patted Xia He's shoulder, and said, "Very good." ”

Xia He scratched his head embarrassedly, unable to speak for a while.

Bidding farewell to Xia He, he walked out of the outer city, and saw a new city with dense buildings.

Most of them are thatched houses, and some even don't even have thatch on the house, they are empty. There is no hurry to ask for rain.

I'm not at home during the day, and I'm not afraid of the sun, so I just don't get it.

The new city is much larger than the outer city, and there is enough space for residential areas, breeding areas, farmland areas, forest areas, military areas and future commercial areas that are enough for 10,000 people to live.

Fortunately, the direction of the locust plague last time was good, otherwise most of the forest trees reserved for firewood and scenery in Cheyenne last time might have died.

After all, trees have no branches and leaves, they can't photosynthesize, and it's not winter, so most trees can't hold out new leaves, and it's okay to die.

"City Lord."

"Lu Junshi, it looks like everything is going well in Jiangzuocheng."

"Yes, just in October, the population has reached more than 7,000, and in another half a month, it is expected to exceed 10,000, but the hidden dangers are also obvious."

"After the grain is completed in the outer city, I will send Xiao Chunzi with the black-clothed arrow team to Cao Cao to buy it, I hope there is no problem."

"City Lord, eggs can't be put in one basket, you have to make other preparations as soon as possible."

Although so far, everything is going well, the expression of Conan is not optimistic about the future.

"Well, in a few days, I will take someone to Xiangxiang County to see if I can buy some grain."

In Zhongwu County, Jiang Liu has already sent people to investigate, and the Fengshun rice shop opened by the Jiang family has long been closed, and so are other rice shops.

The consequences of drought and locust plague are so serious that people can't survive, so what else does it matter? The people of Zhongwu County are fierce, and if it opens at this time, it is tantamount to telling others: I have food here, come and grab it.
