The next morning it rained lightly for half a day, the temperature plummeted, the north wind went south, and the sky was also gloomy.

In the afternoon, when Elder Yuda saw that the business was completed, he sent someone to inform Zhuang Yi and Alan that he planned to return tomorrow. Ailan wanted to prepare a gift to give back, but she was completely unfamiliar with the situation of her new home, so she went to Zhao Qiuling to discuss.

The two met in the morning, and Ailan is the wife, Zhao Qiuling is the identity of the equal wife, there is no barrier between the master and the subordinate, and at this time it is not unfamiliar, the two little women are talking and laughing in the hall and laughing about some interesting things in the former family, Ailan took the initiative to talk about how he met Zhuang Yi's whispering, which made Zhao Qiuling a little gloomy, and couldn't help but feel sorry for himself.

Ailan actually knew about Zhuang Yi, Zhao Qiuling and Lei Niang through Mei Xiang's mouth, but she didn't care much about it now, and she was sensitive to Zhao Qiuling's thoughts, and suddenly her heart softened, and a little sense of superiority flew away, and she turned to scold Zhuang Yi for not being a good person, comforting Zhao Qiuling in a loud voice, and talking about how to arrange some things at home in the future.

Of course, the main thing in family affairs is the power of financial domination, this Zhao Qiuling has managed it very well, Ailan is actually a little careless, not very fine, he doesn't care about financial matters, and he doesn't want to take care of it, but when it comes to things, she is also very assertive, and now she is the main mother, so she must understand.

"That person is really, he doesn't care about anything at home...... You've been here for so long, why don't you tell him, he doesn't know how to cherish you, and when he comes back, we'll clean him up! Alan said indignantly.

"Not really! He's still very good, it's just that Yingzhou has just been decided, there are too many things, he always goes out early and returns late, and he's very busy, so I don't bother him! Zhao Qiuling whispered, his face unconsciously reddened.

Ailan looked at it and was secretly a little funny in his heart, and said in his heart that this Zhao family girl is really very gentle and easy to get along with, and he didn't feel relieved.

"In this way, our family is still less manpower, there are twelve Fu Niang and maids who came to marry with me, and then two servant women are invited to help do housework, four handymen guard and carry water to prepare firewood, one housekeeper, but it's all right, what does Qiu Ling girl think? Do you know some of them? Be diligent and not afraid of hardship, keep your hands, feet and mouth steady, and don't talk nonsense......" Alan said with a smile, she still knows how to manage these things.

"The word of the hand...... The concubines know several people, all of them are from Diexiu Village and White Wolf Mountain, and they have helped the concubines a lot in the past few days, so I don't know if they want to come? Zhao Qiuling thought for a moment and replied with a smile.

"It's easy to do! Let's write down the names of the people, and let Mei Xiang go to the front office to lead a few soldiers to invite them door-to-door, it's best to invite more, and we'll choose one by one, do you think it's okay? ”

"Alright! Sister, you really have an idea, then the concubine will go and get pen and ink and ask for paper and inkstone...... "Zhuang Yi went out in the afternoon, he couldn't always stay at home with the women, and he also had his own things to do. The patriarch of Xie Ra came this time, he didn't have time to meet him, and Bao En brought the population, he had to hand it over, and then organize it to manage.

Zhuang Yi first went to see Elder Yuda, and then the two of them took two hundred guards and rode to the Murowei camp in the north of the city, where Xie Ra and Bao En were in charge, but there was no chaos, but the whole camp was a little messy. Because the weather was a little cold, the people in fur hats gathered together to make a fire, and the children with dirty hair ran around with a fire and had a great time.

Suddenly, seeing a team of armored soldiers coming in with Zhuang Yi and others, the crowd in the camp was a little panicked, and they stood up one after another, and someone rushed to report. After a while, Xie Ra and Bao En strode in.

"Patriarch Xie Ra has worked hard! This time, I'm tired of you helping again......" Zhuang Yi greeted with a humble smile.

"Forget it this time, next time you tell me to run away, you have to give me hard money!" Xie Ra pretended to be dissatisfied and quipped, looked up and down at Zhuang Yi's light crimson official uniform, and couldn't help laughing: "Hey! Wearing this official uniform, you really have official authority, no wonder you are young, and your official addiction is so big! ”

"Haha...... My temple is too small, otherwise I must have asked the patriarch to have been here for an official addiction! ”

"A coarse person, can't afford to be a ......"

Zhuang Yi laughed, turned his head to look at Baoen, and said with a smile: "Baoen! Your tribe has been oppressed by the Khitans for a long time, and now the population is decreasing, which is equivalent to getting rid of the burden, in fact, it is more conducive to development, and with the protection of King Xi, it will be peaceful in the future, but is Xiao Deer the patriarch? What are your duties? ”

"You said it easily, why don't you transfer 20,000 people from Yingzhou to me? Bao En is a fool, and he is just a tribal handsome for the time being! Grace replied unceremoniously.

"Haha...... Another 100,000 people will be relocated to Yingzhou, and I will be able to feed you, and you, even if I don't want your population, can you afford to raise it after the war, if King Xi doesn't give you grain and grass, I'm afraid that many people will starve to death! Zhuang Yi also unceremoniously pointed out the problems of their clan.

"Humph!" Bao snorted and turned his head in dissatisfaction.

"Did your family bring it? Come to Yingzhou! You can survive better here! Live a more promising life! Zhuang Yi opened his mouth again to solicit.

"No matter how good Yingzhou is, it's yours...... Treat me and my people well! The rest is needless to say. Without hesitation, Grace refused.

"That's it! You can rest assured...... Your people are here, and from now on they will be the people under the rule of my Yingzhou, and I will naturally settle them properly. ”

"This is not the place to talk, so go to my tent! Hand over the population roster and get things done sooner...... In addition, in the coming year, the skins and extra cattle and horses of our tribe can be sold to you, and you must give you a better price. Bao reluctantly invited.

"No problem! Fair Trade! No bullying! In addition, the leather goods, cattle and horse business of the entire Xi Wang's tooth tent, I have all covered, and I will not take advantage of you without discrimination. When it came to business, Zhuang Yi was immediately interested.

In the afternoon of the same day, the transfer of population was successfully completed, a total of 26,000 people, of which nearly half were elderly, women, and children, and there were very few young people between the ages of 15 and 30, and only 5,000 men between the ages of 35 and 50.

Then, several people made a preliminary position on the price of leather cattle and horses, and each gave Zhuang Yi a list of required goods, hoping that Zhuang Yi could prepare them next year.

The next day, Elder Yuda, Xie Ra, Bao En and others took their leave, and Zhuang Yi took Ailan to personally send him out for several miles, and then returned, sent Ailan to his home, and then went to the front office to gather a group of officials and assigned tasks on the issue of resettlement of the Murowei people.

This is also simple, in the final analysis, it is still to reclaim the barren tuntian to build a military fort, which must be completed before the winter snow comes, and the military fort can be completed first, but to build an Anhua county town in the north, it can only wait until next year to start construction. Moreover, there was not enough artisan labor, so 2,000 laborers and craftsmen were urgently recruited from the villages under his rule, and the people of Murowei were young and strong, so the project could still be completed quickly.
