Everyone is in a hurry.

Not only did they have to rush to plant their own land, but they also had to plant the military tun and official fields. Although there are tuntian slaves in the military tun and the official tun, the soldiers of the military government and the people of the county and township also have to take turns to bear the obligation of planting the official tuntian.

It's a kind of miscellaneous work, and it's basically a rotation. This kind of husband service who helps the army to farm the land is actually the same as the errand service who goes to the official office to do three shifts.

The government will even organize people to repair river embankments, canals, and city walls during the agricultural slack period.

In Liaodong Province, every citizen has to serve the imperial court for free for 20 days a year, and these 20 days are the obligation of the people. If you do not serve 20 days in a year, you still have to pay, which is also called Dai Yong. If it exceeds 20 days, the actual number of days exceeded, and finally a certain amount of rent adjustment will be reduced.

Of course, this kind of labor is only conscripted by the envoys and counties of the festival, and as for some small projects such as building roads, laying bridges, and repairing canals in the villages, they are not among them, and they are regarded as the villagers' own affairs.

Andong Dao now has a population of more than 1.5 million in the six counties, and the average population of one county in the eighteen counties is only 80,000, and the population base is still very weak, especially Luo Cheng's population is counted in everyone, whether you are a slave or a tribe, or even monks and prostitutes are also counted, which is very different from the household registration of the imperial court.

The registered population of the imperial court is only registered as a good person, and those slaves and monks are not counted in the household registration.

With a population of more than one million, it occupies the best Liaohe Plain, not to mention that there are also large tracts of fertile land in western Liao.

A large number of fields, about one-third of which were occupied by the military and official cantonments, about one-third by the soldiers and officers of the prefecture and the county, and the remaining one-third by other people.

In addition, among the more than 1.5 million people in Andong Province, nearly 500,000 of them are landless, and they are all Turkic slaves, Goguryeo slaves, and exiled criminals from the Central Plains.

The land is vast and the population is small, and one-third of the population is not qualified to divide the land, so now the soldiers and soldiers of Liaodong all have a lot of land in their hands, and each government soldier has at least two or three hundred acres of land in his hands, and the family population is large, even thousands of acres.

Fortunately, in this year, there is no condition for intensive cultivation, but also fallow rotation, extensive cultivation makes the yield per mu is not high, so it is considered a wide planting and thin harvest, but there are so many fields, still can still earn a lot.

The soldiers of the government basically have slaves, cattle and horses and other large livestock, while the military and official tuns are provided by the government with cattle and horse farming tools and seeds, so although the land is vast and the people are small, everyone's efficiency is still very high.

Luo Cheng also deliberately planted a lot of rice in the fertile fields irrigated by water sources this year, and the yield of rice is still very good, which is much higher than that of corn, but the water requirements are high, and ordinary places cannot be planted.

After a busy spring ploughing, the fields gradually quieted down again.

At this time, the people finally have time to enjoy the quiet.

In the morning, in each tunzi, the young men began to train again with spears, bows and arrows, and practiced under the orders of the tun chiefs.

The children also began to read and write in the schools set up by the Jiedu Envoy Yamen, and began to read and write with the gentlemen who were sent. The conditions are simple, there is no textbook, there is a lack of paper and pen, then fold the branches to make pens, and use the sand table as paper.

The school in Tunli is very close to life, only half a day of classes every day, early in the morning, classes at noon, no use in the afternoon, you can help work at home, every day when the farm is busy, there will even be a long vacation.

There is no need for tuition fees to come to the school, and the grains produced by each family, such as vegetables and dried fish, can be sent to the teacher as a bundle of repairs, and the gentlemen have the salary to be drawn by the yamen.

Of course, what is more surprising is that these gentlemen are actually a group of teenagers. This group of equally childish teenagers, some of whom are only eleven or twelve years old, and the eldest is only thirteen or fourteen years old, most of them came out of Luo Cheng's Yi'er camp.

When they were in the battalion, they studied literature and practiced martial arts at the same time, and when they were older, they would join the army as an attendant to the officers and train in the army.

And now, Luo Cheng arranged some of the teenagers in the Yi'er camp to be teachers in the tunzi of various counties and counties to teach the children, and he asked each of these Yi'er to teach in the tunzi for two years, and then enter the military camp as an officer's attendant.

Although they are young, the people in the tunzhuang have great respect for them.

First, everyone calls them handsome children, and secondly, although they are young, they can read and write, these years, nine out of ten people are illiterate, and ordinary people have no chance to read and write, so they cherish such a free reading opportunity.

Farmers are idle.

The military towns and counties also began to recruit young and strong people to take turns to go for training, and some recruited people to build roads, build cities and rivers, and some hired people to mine, ship, and make iron.

On both sides of the Liao River, there is a lot of vitality.

On the official road from Liaoxi to Liaodong, countless caravans carried goods and returned with many livestock skins purchased from Liaodong.

And many Khitan, Xi, Murowei, Xia and other tribes in the north also rushed to Liaodong to trade in the mutual market.

Even the Tatars and Goguryeo people in the east couldn't help but send caravans over to trade.

Wanghai Town in western Liaoning, Yingkou City at the mouth of the Liaohe River, Dalian Port and Lushun Port in southern Liaoning are also very busy now, with countless ships coming and going, carrying boatloads of goods, and even a steady stream of displaced people from the Central Plains.

For commercial trade, for border market transactions, Luo Cheng is actively advocating, even if he introduced the industrial and commercial tax that is not available in the Central Plains, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of businessmen.

Although there is a tax, there is no fee or donation, as long as you enter Liaodong, you can go all the way, no one blackmails and no one robs, and compared with the chaos of the Central Plains, now this side is very stable, the demand for commercial goods is extremely high, business is to make money, since you can make money in Liaodong, it doesn't matter if he pays taxes or not.

The prosperity of the commercial market also led to the development of the handicraft manufacturing industry in Liaodong, and brought a large amount of tax revenue to the yamen.

Jiedu makes the yamen rich, the county rich, the price of goods stable, and the frontier peaceful.

Wait until May.

The army stopped training, schools were closed, and even officials went down to the countryside to help with the harvest.

Everywhere there was a scene of harvesting, and families were gathering wheat in the fields.

Old women cook at home, young children gather ears of wheat in the fields, young men and women wave their sickles in the fields, horses and mules carry people, and cartloads of wheat are brought to the threshing floor.

Gold everywhere.
