In fact, for Han Lie right now, farming is undoubtedly bigger than the sky.

Whether the livelihood of 110,000 people can be supported depends on the next effect of Tuntian, if Tuntian fails, it means that Han Lie's governance in Licheng fails, and the foundation for survival will also collapse.

It is precisely because of the importance of this matter that Han Lie appointed Guoyuan, Cheng Bing, Zheng Yi and other nine people to be in charge of Tuntian, you must know that Zheng Xuan recommended a total of eleven people to him, plus Zheng Yi is only twelve people, but he used more than half of the people in charge of Tuntian affairs in one breath, needless to say that everyone also saw that Han Lie attached great importance to this matter.

"We must fulfill our responsibilities and escort the great cause of Tuntian." Guo Yuan and the other seven people stood up and said respectfully.

"Renjing, Yanyun, you have been in charge of the Tuntian matter for a long time, and you must immediately implement the handover work, as well as the biggest difficulties in Tuntian at the moment, and also put forward them, let's discuss them together." Han Lie nodded and set his gaze on Wang Bao and Wang Ling on the left.

"Back to my lord, at present, for the people who reclaim wasteland, there are two materials that are most scarce, and the investment will be very large, comparable to the people's rations." Under the humility of Wang Bao, Wang Lingzuo said: "One is to plough cattle, the other is tools, at present we are not short of manpower, but even if the people have strength, it is impossible to dig the ground with their hands, in order to speed up the reclamation and planting problems, it is necessary to buy ploughing oxen and horses, followed by iron plows and hoes, because the soil is in a primitive state, the damage to the hoe and plough is very large, if these two items are prepared, you can get twice the result with half the effort." ”

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools, this is a matter of course, today Yanyun raised these two questions, obviously involving the expenditure of money, the cost of plowing cattle is high, it is not easy to buy, iron tools are better, it seems that we are still short of money." Han Lie nodded, and said to Wang Bao with a somewhat solemn expression: "Renjing, you are our big housekeeper, let's talk about it, let's talk about what we have left." ”

"Resettle 100,000 people, buy 100,000 stone grain, spend hundreds of millions, although we got a total of 2,000 gold from Donglai, and seized 4,000 gold worth of coins in Junan, but recently the expenditure is like flowing water, so far there are only 700 gold left in the treasury, plus 13 million gold, normal expenses, can barely support three months, but if it is used to buy cattle tools, I am afraid it is still a little reluctant." Wang Bao truthfully reported the current embarrassing financial situation.

"Transfer all the seven hundred gold to the Dian Nong Governor's Mansion, Tuntian is a big deal, and anything else can be put aside for the time being." Han Lie made a decision without the slightest hesitation.

"Whoa." Regarding Han Lie's decision, Wang Bao naturally had no reason to oppose it.

"Don't we have a receipt?" Hearing that Wang Baoguang had expenditures, but no financial inputs, Guo Yuan couldn't help but ask.

"Why did the captain of the national capital come for the first time, I don't know it's normal, when the general entered Licheng, he said that he would not collect any taxes for three months, so at the moment, our county government does not only have expenditures but no inputs." Wang Bao explained with a wry smile.

"The general's move is a move to benefit the people, although there is a loss in three months, but to establish public trust, now we have a population of 110,000 people in Licheng, as long as once settled, traders from all over the country will inevitably gather, when the financial and tax input, it is a rich income, although the early stage is a little difficult, but just like the slogan written by the lord, 'work hard for a hundred days, the autumn harvest grain is full of warehouses'." Guoyuan is good at business management, and after understanding what happened, he has confidence.

"Zini has confidence, and big things can be decided." Han Lie was very satisfied with Guo Yuan's self-confidence, wasn't what he lacked at the moment such a capable and courageous wise person.

Next, Han Lie appointed Sun Qian as the lord of Licheng, and the other two scholars were engaged in assisting Wang Bao in handling the affairs of Licheng, and Wang Ling stepped down from the post of chief Bo and served as the lieutenant of Licheng County, responsible for rectifying the three classes of soap in Licheng and taking over the matter of public security.

In this way, Xu Rong can let go of the matter of public security, and after Guo Yuan takes over the post of Dian Nong Commander, Zhao Yun, Xu Huang, Dian Wei and others can let go, so that the four generals under Han Lie can free up their hands and continue to strengthen military training.

Although the pawn farmer is a big deal, as the saying goes, power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and there is no strong army that can fight well, no matter how rich you are, in the end, not only can you not protect it, but it will become an original sin.

Pawn farmers to train soldiers, this matter must be carried out at the same time, all of them are indispensable, there was no talent before, but now with the addition of Guo Yuan, Sun Qian, Cheng Bing, Zheng Yi and other twelve wise men, Han Lie can naturally implement the decree step by step.

However, if the problem of money is not solved, all government decrees will eventually not be able to be turned.

After the meeting, it was already late at night, but Han Lie was not happy at all, discussing and going, whether it was Tuntian or strong soldiers, they couldn't do without one word, that is, 'money'.

Now he has 5,400 sergeants under his account, and these sergeants have been trained to a certain extent, and the only way to strengthen their combat effectiveness is to reform their weapons, which require a large amount of fine iron and good craftsmen, which requires a lot of money.

So in the end, Han Lie found that what he lacked the most was money, and now as soon as he sat down, the first thing that came to his mind was money, and he was almost stunned.

At dawn, the sky was still in chaos. Han Lie got up and practiced his sword skills in the courtyard, as a martial artist, martial arts training was naturally a compulsory course for him every day.

Zheng Xuan also has a habit of reading in the morning, and the accommodation that Han Lie arranged for him is next door to him, so when Han Lie was practicing knives in the courtyard, Zheng Xuan heard the movement all of a sudden.

The movement of Han Lie's dancing knife was very loud, the whistling sound full of energy, and the fierce and domineering blade resounded in the sky above the courtyard, Zheng Xuan was able to stabilize his mind at first, but with the sound of Cai Yanqin, he could no longer sit still.

He could be indifferent to Han Lie's sword practice, but he couldn't sit down with Cai Yan's beautiful piano sound. Getting up in the morning to stroke the qin is not Cai Yan's hobby, but by chance, Han Lie found that Cai Yan's piano sound was very effective in soothing the killing in his heart and calming his mind, so when he practiced the knife, he often asked Cai Yan to help him by the side.

"Confucius once said that when he heard the music of "Shao" in March, he didn't know the taste of meat, and when he listened to the girl's song Shao today, he knew that this statement was true." When Han Lie put away the knife, Cai Yan's piano sound stopped abruptly, Zheng Xuan, who had been here for a long time, stroked his palm and smiled.

"Disturb Mr. Kangcheng's dream, and hope to forgive your sins." Han Lie hugged his knife and apologized.

"Being able to be disturbed by Shao Le is really something that my generation can't ask for, why bother?" Zheng Xuan laughed, not caring at all.

"I've seen Mr. Kangcheng." Cai Yan also rose up and bowed.

"The girl is naturally beautiful, at such an age, the piano has such attainments, it is really rare, rare." Zheng Xuan glanced at the dignified and beautiful Cai Yan, and couldn't help but praise lightly.

"Small and small, not enough to worry about, An Neng won this praise." Cai Yan did not show the slightest color because of Zheng Xuan's praise, she showed a slight smile, and replied modestly, "Sir, sit down for a while, I'll go serve tea." ”

"Ziyang, if I'm not mistaken, which girl's piano in her hand is the Jiaowei Qin created by Cai Bojiao, could it be that this girl is the daughter of Mr. Bojiao?" Zheng Xuan waited for Cai Yan to leave, and asked in surprise.

"Mr. is really as wise as a torch, I can't hide it, this girl is really Mr. Bo Jiao's daughter Cai Wenji, but about us, it's a long story." Han Lie didn't expect Zheng Xuan to know Cai Yan's qin, but it's not surprising to think about it, Zheng Xuan stayed in Luoyang Chang'an for ten years, and his reputation is no less than Cai Yong, and it is normal to know the Jiaowei qin created by Cai Yong.

While chatting with Zheng Xuan, Han Lie remembered the fish monster in the mouth of the villagers in the fishing village, so he asked, "Mr. Kang Cheng doesn't know anything about the fish monster and the shark?" ”

"Ziyang is also interested in this matter? Have you ever seen a merman? When Zheng Xuan heard this, he immediately became interested.

When he saw Han Lie nodding, Zheng Xuan remembered some of the classics he had read, the records and legends about the merman, so he spoke: "It is rumored that the merman is an ancient flood species, with human blood, and also has the blood of the golden carp, and there is also a saying that there is a dragon gate in ancient times, and the golden carp that has cultivated for thousands of years can go to the dragon gate, and the one who jumps will become a dragon, and the one who falls will be a demon who is half human and half fish." ”

That is, the so-called merman, legend has it that the merman is not good at words, lives in the deep sea, can distinguish the direction of the climate and wind, sometimes good and sometimes bad, it is difficult to say, some people have been lost in the sea, and the merman leads the way, so as to return to the land, and some people meet the merman at sea, and are devoured by it. However, according to legend, the first emperor once inspected the East China Sea, shot and killed a shark man, and obtained a hundred shark beads from his body, as big as a bird's egg, each crystal clear, wearing himself, it actually makes people feel refreshed, it can be described as priceless, boil its cream and light the lamp, and it will not be extinguished for ten years. ”
