On the evening of the 20th, Feng Youcai went to the Sihai Commercial Bank in Ningxia, and first went to the warehouse to replenish the supply, and then had dinner and rested.

On the morning of the 21st, he first went to the Yamen of the Chief Military Officer to ask to see Zheng Fugang, Zheng Fugang heard that Feng Youcai was coming, and he was also very happy, he didn't come when he traded heads last time, and this time there must be a good thing.

Feng Youcai first saluted the chief officer.

"You kid, don't play with these nonsense, sit down," Zheng Fugang said with a smile. In the past half a year, Ningbei has no worries, and he didn't worry about any war, and he also sent so many military exploits, otherwise, this half year would be very difficult.

"Chief Soldier Xie" Feng Youcai sat down and had a maid serve tea.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me this time?"

"Your Excellency, it's hard for me right now, you must help me find a way to solve it."

"What else can stump you? Say, if I can help you, I'll help you. “

"Lord Chief Soldier, that's the case, the original Huang Qianhu still occupies more than 10,000 acres of land in our Thousand Households, and now it is very difficult for me to do it, the military households are poor, and I am also poor, forcing me to have no choice but to sneak attack the Mongolian tribes, but the first time was very smooth, and it will be very difficult for them to pay attention to it later, and I have suffered heavy losses after a few sneak attacks, it seems that this method is not long-lasting, so I want the Chief Military Officer to help me think about it, how can I let Huang Qianhu return the land in his hands to our Thousand Households."

Zheng Fugang thought about it for a while and said: "This thing is not very easy to do, and it is categorical that money is equivalent to killing parents." “

"But we are really poor and can't help it, my family doesn't even have an acre of land, how long can your silver last time last? If I have land, I can recruit some more soldiers, and in the future, the chief military officer will point out where to fight, and there will be no ambiguity, otherwise I can only disband some soldiers, I just want to use my own money to support these people, and I also want to have money. “

Zheng Fugang is also very moved, if he can train a strong army, it will definitely be beneficial to himself, and Feng Youcai, a stunned young man, is still easier to control than those old fritters.

"How many cavalry do you have now?"

"Ten hundred-man team, completely full, and all of them are strong soldiers, loyalty is no problem, many of them are slaves I rescued, I didn't say anything about killing the Mongols, I feel a pity to disband, if it weren't for these cavalry, how could I have the guts to attack the Mongol tribes."

Zheng Fugang thought for a while and said, "Why don't you exchange some Mongolian heads with him?" “

"How many are you?"

"If you have 500 of them, you can definitely solve this problem."

"What? 500 pieces? This is not 500 cabbage, do you know how many people I will lose by cutting off 500 Mongolian heads? Now the Mongols are so tightly defended that it is difficult to even 100 of them, and if he can cut off 500 Mongol heads, I will give him 10,000 acres of land. “

"Hehe, I'm not just saying a number, don't you take it seriously, then how much is appropriate?" Chief Officer Zheng also felt that his requirements were a bit high, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"At most, 100, this also costs me a lot, the current Mongols are too thieves, we can't get close at all, it will be difficult to cut off the heads of the Mongols in the future, if they are all as good as they started to cut, the Mongols will not die soon."

"Okay then, you go back and wait for news, I'll discuss it with Lao Huang." Chief Officer Zheng also felt that Feng Youcai's words were correct, he had fought with the Mongols for so long, and he didn't cut off a few Mongols' heads, and he also lost his troops, so he could only say that he had made a lot of money in the first two transactions, and it seemed that he was going to help this kid this time.

"Thank you, Chief Soldier, but be quick, spring plowing will start soon, and you can't delay farming."

"I know, don't worry."

At noon that day, Feng Youcai returned to the study of the Thousand Households. asked Zhang Yang and Zheng Hao to be invited, and he introduced the matter of going to Xi'an and meeting the chief military officer in Ningxia Mansion this time.

Zheng Hao spoke first: "Young master, now that the eunuchs are in power, Donglin is in turmoil, Houjin is rising, and there is a great drought in the world, it seems that the Ming Dynasty has run out of energy, and the world will be in chaos soon." ”

"So I want to open more grain stores, lower prices, and save a few people."

"Young master, don't be pessimistic, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it will take a few years to mess up, and now the imperial court's control over the army is still very strong, in addition, don't underestimate the endurance of the Chinese nation." Zhang Yang said.

"So what do we do?"

"Dig deep holes and accumulate grain, this is what our ancestors told us."

Feng Youcai also remembered that Taizu and his old man said that power came out of the barrel of a gun, and now the troops under his control are too few, and he must continue to expand the army, cultivate talents, develop the economy, and lay a solid foundation. If so, Feng Youcai asked: "How do you do it?" “

"In the short term, you can't have contradictions with the court, you must develop in a low-key manner, and you must be concerned about the court on the surface; Specifically, it is to recruit displaced people, recruit wise men, train the army, and develop the economy. Zhang Yang said.

is similar to Feng Youcai's point of view, then spring ploughing is about to take place, and recruiting displaced people is a top priority, so Feng Youcai said: "There are a large number of displaced people in Xi'an and Ningxia, and Ningxia is closer, Xi'an is too far away, and it will cost a huge cost to recruit them, so this time Zhan Hu and Liu Wen chose some families who can reach the level of the field army or security army, as well as scribes and people with certain specialties to join, that is, they will migrate from Xi'an, and the attrition will definitely not be less. As for Ningxia, I want to wait for Chief Officer Zheng to win the land for me before recruiting the displaced people, and the matter of recruiting the displaced people must also be reported to the Chief Military Officer and the Governor of Ningxia. “

"It's still the young master's thoughtfulness, then it's better for people from Xi'an to migrate here on a small scale, the distance is so far, and the number of people is large, it will definitely be seen by people with a heart." Zheng Hao said.

"Is the recruitment full now?"

"They all earn to be soldiers, they have already been selected, and they are all the best of the best."

"The land has been divided?"

"It's all divided, and the matter of military households leaving the country is also going well, and after completing the formalities, the townships will be arranged to divide the land, and those who join the army will also be divided into land, and there are still very few families who apply for land now, as long as they can live, very few come to apply."

"Very good, your work has been very effective recently, don't be in a hurry about the matter of foot binding, take your time, now, you investigate, where to build the village, where to build the township, the current township setting is very unreasonable, all along the Great Wall and Helan Pass, there are few inland, and the inland is the place with the most land and wasteland, plan it first, and wait for the displaced people to come and arrange it, otherwise it will be in a hurry, and the arrangement will not be good."

"Yes, young master, let's plan a few more townships after we go down."

"Chengbei District should also be well planned, as well as road construction, there are more displaced people, we can't keep raising idlers, or ask them to build roads, build houses and open up wasteland to earn food, promote Mien, fight rice hatred, so let them support themselves."

"Yes, young master"
