Fang La was shocked by the world.

The Four Great Kou are the leaders of the rebel separatist forces of the Great Zhou, and Fang La is the head of the Four Great Kou. The Yongle Dynasty fought with more than 200,000 officers and troops for several months, and finally fell apart, and the head of "Fang La himself" had been sent to Bianjing.

Song Jiang, Wang Qing, and Tian Hu, who were looking forward to watching, were directly scared, and Zhao Scar, who had earned a good reputation in Luliang, accelerated the pace of recruiting An. During the previous decisive battle in Jiangnan, out of the psychology of being wary of Fang La, keeping a low profile and watching the fire from the other side, Song Jiang and the other remaining "three big guys" did not work hard to contain the Great Zhou army.

The forbidden army and the Xiang army, which were firmly grasped by Bianjing, had all kinds of infighting, not to mention Song Jiang, Wang Qing and other rivers and lakes were reckless. Some said to help Yongle Chao, and some said not to help, almost all of them ended up with a hand in the hand and mud.

In late August, Yu Yunwen was very busy in Hangzhou.

The war has been fought for so long, and the treasury of Bianjing has been bottoming out. The officials and gentry in various places complained bitterly, and they really couldn't support the cards of more than 200,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of village soldiers and archers, and more than 500,000 people.

After sending troops to clear the remnants of the Yongle Dynasty, entering the mountains to defeat the remnants of the large force of Fangla, and building an encirclement around tens of thousands of square kilometers of mountains, Yu Yunwen and other civilian officials sat together and began to withdraw troops on a large scale. The matter of "queuing up to divide the fruit" was carried out at the same time.

Han Shizhong, Wang Yu, Zhang Tianlei and other generals have made too many military exploits.

Yu Yunwen and other civil officials, out of the same precautionary mentality, decided to let Han Shizhong and other warriors return north in advance, and the rest of the battle exploits were handed over to other warriors.

Yao Pingzhong poked out the big basket, Yang Keshi was implicated, and Liu Guangshi has been gnawing on the mountain road. After these three had wiped out all the remnants of the large force of Fangla, they would immediately lead their troops to Huaixi and be responsible for the general attack on Wang Qing's forces.

The Fujian Road pacification envoy, on the way to the army, did not forget to appease the people, Wang Shixin, wisely stopped the Fujian Road soldiers and horses on the Mingzhou-Yuyao-Shaoxing line. He strictly ordered the generals to guard the rear with peace of mind, ensure public order, and not to enter the army without permission to steal merit.

Master Wang Shixin didn't want to wade into a big pool of muddy waters, and he knew very well that the soldiers and horses of Fujian Road, as a partial division, could not compete. Since he put on such an attitude, the senior who presided over the distribution of fruits in Hangzhou City could not go too far.

Considering that Fujian Road not only provided a large amount of money, food, soldiers and horses, but also contacted several merchant fleets for reinforcements, the officers in charge of the aftermath and several rulers in Bianjing did not treat the civil and military forces of Fujian Road badly, and gave a lot of rewards.

Wang Shixin didn't mix much in Hangzhou, and took a boat back to Quanzhou City to clean up the mess. The soldiers and horses of the Fujian Road retreated south on the same day that Wang Shixin went to sea, and participated in many trivial battles on the way, and also harmed many places.

Less than half a month after the large-scale withdrawal of troops, Jiangnan East Road has been restored to general peace. The tense Da Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.

One day in late August, Zhang Yongnian and Ding Shihang gathered up 10 ships that had sailed separately and traded with the people of "Yuan Donghai" on a certain offshore island and reef.

For the sake of secrecy, the people sent by Yuan Donghai actually shaved off all their beards, which is a miracle in the Great Zhou, where the beard is beautiful. The effect is really good, the appearance of the black face is very impactful, as long as the past identity is not exposed, it is enough to bluff people.

Both sides sent men to board each other's ships to inspect the goods. Zhang Yongnian's boat and He Conglong's boat leaned together, swaying irregularly with the waves.

"I didn't expect that the dignified teacher of the Royal Forest would come to buy things with a shaved beard!"

Anyway, it's almost impossible for the other party to turn their faces. Zhang Yongnian said sarcastically in order to get over his addiction.

"In the past, a kid like you who didn't have any hair was worthy of standing and talking to Lao Tzu! The tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, and there were too many brothers who got sick after going to sea, and there were only a few who were sure not to be recognized. Root...... Ahem, can Lao Tzu not come and stare at it?! ”

He Conglong, who had a black face, said, without any sense of shame. Although only Li Yifu is willing and able to provide a large number of finished medicines, the two forces of Nanshan Fort and "Yuan Donghai" need each other, and He Conglong did not keep his voice too low, after all, his former identity was there.

Zhang Yongnian and He Conglong's lips fought, and they almost rolled up their sleeves and crossed their waists. The good hands behind the two were secretly on guard, and they felt a little funny.

Ding Shihang's fortune boat came over. His face was very ugly, stared at He Conglong, and asked:

"I asked you to hand over all the famous doctors earlier, I'm afraid that we won't be able to pay the bills? Look at the present, half of them are sick, and a few are dying! ”

He Conglong grinned, "You people from Nanshan Fort are really unreasonable!" Non-pro-Ducal Transactions, Anglican ...... If the big boss has no chips in his hands, Yan Zhier and the others will not interrupt the transaction. ”

"I'll tell you, we still have hundreds of them. If you don't raise the price by 50%, just watch them all die of hunger! The transaction is also based on past prices. There are a few thousand taels of gold in this ship at my feet, enough to pay for the shortfall and buy your ship......"

He Conglong stabbed Zhang Yongnian and the two in the death hole. The two sides bargained fiercely, and finally ended with He Conglong smiling and taking over the eight ships carrying ordnance and medicine.

"Shut up! Damn, it was put on the table! ”

The remaining two boats were packed. Ding Shihang turned around and roared at the crew of Nanshan Fort, who were counting the money, gritted his teeth and looked at He Conglong who was going away quickly.

Zhang Yongnian, Ding Shihang and others, the famous craftsmen and doctors who had been traded, as well as important books, calligraphy and paintings, were all crowded into the only remaining ship in good condition.

Zhang Yongnian walked to the stern of the boat, patted his forehead a few times and said: "Yuan Donghai is really amazing, there are capable people to help him when he goes to sea to survive." There must be someone behind He Conglong who has an idea! ”

"In the future, the merchant will have to preside over the transaction. This He Conglong is sure that we don't dare to bet, and he has pinched the temperament of the proprietor who values the craftsman doctor, and we can only suffer this loss. ”

"Actually, I didn't suffer any losses. Those knives, guns, shields, and arrows, the cost of bringing them all the way back is more expensive than the price quoted by the core workshop, so it should be a few boats of garbage for them! ”

On the sea dozens of miles to the northeast, Shen Shou, who was wrapped in a cloth towel on his forehead, came out of the cabin.

Shen Shou nodded, took the half-new and old steel spear head from He Conglong's hand, frowned and sighed, "It's terrible." Half-new and not old, I think it's troublesome to bring back, so I will directly sell it and give it to us. My strategy did work, but it was mainly because the two young boys were courageous, but they were still immature, so we took advantage of them. ”

"Lord Shen is saying that this kind of paper armor, arrows, knives and guns that look exactly the same, how many do you need in Nanshan Fort?!" He Conglong asked in shock.

"Don't mention this kind of title anymore, we are all in charge, and we don't have to get into trouble. Li Yifu is famous for opening a workshop, and there are definitely more than knives, guns, bows and arrows. A young man like Zhang Yongnian doesn't even take paper armor in his eyes, how many things should be hidden in Nanshan Fort......"

The sea breeze had become cold, and He Conglong broke out in a cold sweat.

Halfway through late August, Li Yifu finally completed his preliminary inspection of the newly cultivated acres of land in the Qinling Mountains.

The Qinling mountain people and Qinling natives under Li Yifu's rule, especially the core families who firmly supported Li Yifu and settled on the front line of the mountain road on both sides of Sanwangzhai-Nanshan Fort-Heihu Village, all realized a panicked problem after they had money: too little self-produced food!

It wasn't until July that Gongzhong began to renovate paddy fields and reclaim mountain fields. At that time, the people of Nanshan Fort made a lot of money in Jiangnan, and Gongzhong and Yongle Dynasty smuggled in exchange for a large amount of real money, and a group of farmers recruited from Jiangnan also arrived, and the timing was just right.

The public middle school organized hundreds of people to carry out a pilot project at the southeastern foot of the Qinling Mountains, and soon understood the ridiculousness of the statement that "the peasant households have no land why they do not cultivate the land, and they have to run to become tenants." Because even if the tax exemption was completely achieved and the farmers were encouraged to reclaim wasteland, not many people would be willing to do it, and they would rather become tenants.

Cultivating the land is too expensive and laborious:

Hoaxes, shovels, ploughs, and grain seeds are all expenses that small families can hardly afford.

It is better to have large livestock. If not, the efficiency of reclamation will be reduced by half.

In the first year or two, the harvest will be poor and you will have to borrow money to survive......

Add in the actual conditions, and the difficulty of cultivating the land is increased by another notch, because the gentry, landlords, and officials will not stand idly by.

It can be seen that there is still a strong basis for Dr. Da Zhou's claim that this dynasty is "unparalleled in civil governance". Because from the founding of the country to the present, the Great Zhou Dynasty has reclaimed nearly 10,000 acres of land.

Specific to the Qinling Mountains, where the mountains are steep and the mountains are dangerous, it is difficult to reclaim the mountains. Zhang Wanli's hair was mostly gray, and only then did he use the various "tricks and tricks" of Nanshan Fort to forcibly advance a step.

Zhen worked with civil engineers and farmers to build canals and ditches where there was water, in order to increase the grain production of a small number of paddy fields. Hundreds of orange trees that use the lever principle to lift water, and dozens of keel dumpers that use manpower to deliver water to high places have been built to irrigate more mountain fields. Qinling Gongzhong also extravagantly provided more than 1,000 agricultural tools of all kinds, purchased hundreds of ploughing cattle and mules, and invested them in thousands of acres of fields, and the results were ......

"It's not optimistic. We're not growing food, we're exchanging gold for food! Li Yifu touched the shining plow and said to Zhen honestly beside him:

"The treadmill made by the master craftsmen of Bianjing has been promoted in the mountains twice and has played a certain role. It is necessary to continue to change, don't be afraid to use more iron, easy to use is the most important. ”

"Gongzhong is too impatient and wastes a lot of resources. The grain produced in two years from these acres is not enough for the people involved in land reclamation. ”

"Has there been any progress in making fertilizer from animal manure, especially bird droppings?"

Elder Zhen replied: "At the beginning of spring, a batch of them will be scattered into the land of the mountain people in the Qinling Mountains. Judging from the current growth, it is true that guano is the favorite of crops, as the proprietor said. ”

Li Yifu did not punish the impatient public middle school personnel. The most anxious noise is actually the old mountain people, Zhang Wanli was pushed and. Li Yifu should only spend money to buy a lesson, so that the people of Qinling Mountain have a number in their hearts.

The environment in Qinling is too poor and too difficult. Most of the farming experts recruited from Jiangnan regretted and wanted to slip away, but there were "village soldier archers" who watched it stubbornly. Unlike the women who secretly arrived in Qinling, they signed a ten-year long deed and filed the case in the Xunyang Mansion, so they didn't dare to offend Li Yifu too much.

Not long after the farmer arrived, he helped Zhen Laoshi improve the "manure accumulation" method, and Li Yifu would not let them go.

Li Yifu promised that every farmer can adopt family money from the public middle school on a monthly basis, as long as he cooperates with the public middle school. With a viable set of solutions to be reclaimed for wasteland, farmers can not only get paddy and mountain fields, but also freely open up unclaimed land.

How much you prescribe is your own!

The public high school will buy grain at a high price and sell farm tools at a low price!

The grain commission handed in will not exceed 20%!

Li Yifu plans to change his thinking and only control the important land that can be reclaimed in a concentrated manner as a demonstration, and at the same time encourage all Qinling mountain people and Qinling natives to take the initiative to reclaim land.
