In less than five days, the heads of the fifteen counties were all in charge, and the officials all arranged to rest at the pavilion, and all the soldiers they brought were camped outside the city.

Xia Quyang also came to the county Cheng Liu Hui and led the recruitment, leaving only Zhang Nan to guard the city, Wang Li also followed the two to the gall Tao, five months did not return to Xia Quyang, Wen Yuan was quite anxious, as soon as he heard that the two had arrived, he was busy Zhang Yu to live in the house, and asked about the recent situation in Quyang.

Wen Yuan led the army to leave Xiaquyang in January, followed Han Fu to fight in March, returned to Jizhou in April, and then took more than a month in Yecheng, pinching his fingers and calculating, at this time Wen Yuan had left Xiaquyang for five months.

Liu Hui came this time, it was very different from May ago, not to mention that he was in a lot of spirits, and there was a little more eagerness in his eyes.

First of all, due to the military household system implemented by Wenyuan, there have been military families who have migrated from various counties in Jizhou, and in just five months, more than 2,400 military families have moved to Xiaquyang City, with a population of tens of thousands!

Liu Hui properly settled them in the city to live, and those who did not have stock in the family lent rice and grain according to the old practice of Wen Yuan, and then Liu Hui encountered the first problem after taking office, the 120,000 mu of land obtained from the early stage of land reclamation has been distributed, and with the increase in the number of military households moving in, the newly resettled military families cannot divide the land.

Seeing that the weather was getting warmer, and the other military families were happily preparing for spring ploughing, they were not angry and encouraged thousands of soldiers to come to Zhang Nan, who didn't know how to do it at all, so he could only go to the county government to ask Liu Hui to come forward.

Liu Hui started the government affairs of Quyang at this time, admired and sighed, and had already figured out Wenyuan's strategy of governance, at this time Wenyuan and his chief officials were not in Quyang, he was a county official, although he had just arrived, he was already the highest chief official in Quyang.

It just so happened that at this time, the recruitment was also in Xiaquyang, and the two of them together decided categorically to go all out to open up the wasteland and reclaim the land!

In February, Liu Hui and Zhang Nan summoned all the laborers of the army and the families of military households, and temporarily requisitioned more than 2,000 Quyang Zhuangding, totaling nearly 8,000 people, and fought hard for one month to reclaim 160,000 mu of fertile land.

In this way, coupled with the previous land reclamation, Wenyuan obtained a total of 280,000 mu of fertile land, so far 2,800 regular soldiers and 2,700 soldiers under Wenyuan's command have been allocated fertile land.

Originally, 8,000 strong men were far more than 160,000 mu in January, but at this time, not only the land in the north of the city, but also the fertile land in the other three suburbs of the city were developed, so compared with Wenyuan's previous achievements, the speed was much fuller.

Secondly, with the spread of the influence of Wenyuan's implementation of the military household tuntian system, in the past few months, thousands of displaced people brought their families to Xiaquyang, they were all poor people who had lost their land and left their hometowns, and they heard that as long as they became soldiers in Quyang, they could get 50 acres of land.

Recruitment is a big deal, how dare Liu Hui be arbitrary, he summoned all the displaced people who came to Xiaquyang, and officially refused solemnly, but these displaced people have long seen the stable life of the military households in the city, and they heard that the county magistrate here loves the people like a son, how can he be willing to leave? confronted the more than 1,000 soldiers brought by Zhang Nan, and it was about to provoke a popular uprising.

Liu Hui was in a hurry and promised to settle the displaced people in the city, and choose them to help the Quyang military households farm the land, and provide two meals a day, and as for the old and weak, they will be provided with porridge and rice every day.

was so busy that the farm was idle, Liu Hui asked these displaced people to go to the northwest of Xiaquyang to open mines, and they have been busy until now.

Today, there are more than 9,000 households of military and civilian nationality in the city of Xiaquyang, and it is believed that it will soon be tens of thousands, with more than 53,000 people, this scale, compared to the first time Wenyuan arrived in Xiaquyang, in just eight months, the population has more than doubled!

After listening to Liu Hui's report, Wen Yuan was secretly happy in his heart, this Hebei celebrity really has two brushes to govern the government, he is not chaotic, he dares to take responsibility, and the two things of opening up the wasteland and recruiting displaced people make him fully talented.

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan smiled and said: "Mr. Zihui is talented, a small county of 100 miles is definitely not a place for Mr. to take revenge, the matter of Tuntian reclamation is related to the people's livelihood, Liao wants to ask Mr. to take the position of Captain of Diannong, specializing in the matter of Tuntian reclamation of military households in Julu County, I don't know if Mr. is willing to give in?" ”

Liu Hui saw that Wen Yuan was in a high position, and he still loved himself so much, and entrusted this important task to himself, so he bowed and said: "Hui will be loyal and wise, and repay the lord with death!" ”

Wen Yuan helped Liu Hui get up and sit down, and then turned to look at the Zhao side.

"After a few months, the son will be fine?"

"Thank you for your care, and I have been in Xiaquyang for a few months, and what I have seen and heard is really eye-opening." He already had something to say, and when he saw Wen Yuan greeting him, he hurriedly bowed down and bowed.

After returning to Guanjin to manage the funeral of the first teacher, he immediately moved to Xiaquyang with his family and Zhang Nan, he has been paying attention to observing, and seeing the scenery of Xiaquyang, it can really be said that he was shocked a few days, and he was full of sighs for Wenyuan's military governance.

Originally, all the affairs in the army were temporarily led by Zhang Nan, but Zhang Nan was okay to lead the troops to drill and charge into battle, but it was too big to deal with trivial matters, and he was busy with grain and grass and logistics support, so he had to give him some advice from time to time.

When escorting Zhao all the way to and from Guanjin, Zhang Nan knew that Zhao Zhao was a talent, and he had seen the lord treat him so kindly, so he simply tried to let Zhao share some of it for himself, who knew that Zhao Zhao was very fast, and within a few days, he handled the trivial matters up and down the military camp in an orderly manner.

When Wen Yuan left, he left a total of 2,000 gold, 1.3 million yuan, 120,000 pieces of grain and grass, 10,000 catties of pig iron, and in May, the training of soldiers was consumed, and the displaced people were recruited to open up wasteland, open mines, give porridge, borrow seeds and rations from military households, etc., to consume nearly 100,000 military rations.

In terms of weapons and baggage, 10,000 catties of pig iron to the beginning of February to smelt out, in addition to directly creating 500 pairs of pig iron pockets, the rest are all forged into mature iron armor leaves, to the beginning of March, a total of more than 180 sets of iron armor, more than 10,000 arrows, so far all the pig iron is used up.

At this time, Zhao Zhao has begun to deal with political affairs, but it was the spring ploughing and sowing season, and the sergeants and soldiers of the army all went down to help farming, and there was no way to transfer people to mine and make iron, seeing that a craftsman had nothing to do all day, Zhang Nan was asked to purchase pig iron from the neighboring county, and in more than ten days, more than 10,000 catties of iron were obtained, and the blacksmith was able to continue smelting.

In April, he recruited more than 2,000 strong men in the city, led by the craftsmen in the army to open a mine thirty miles northwest of Xiaquyang, and in order to protect the wings of mining and the world that had been sown, the main force moved the camp to the west of Xiaquyang. Eight hundred soldiers were left to defend the city, and the rest of the soldiers were guarded against the city wall.

By the end of May, the blacksmith workshop had created more than 800 tops, more than 320 sets of iron armor, 13,000 arrowheads, more than 300 knives, and the carpenter's workshop also produced, 500 pairs of cards, more than 200 baggage cars, more than 300 strong bows, and more than 100 horn bows.

After listening to the recruitment of these, Wen Yuan was also very emotional, although he was twenty years old, his Wen Taowu strategy has faintly emerged, and he only needs a little training in the future, he can be on his own.

Thinking of this, Wen Yuan squinted and smiled: "Zijing is good at governing the army, it is really a rare talent, a certain person wants to worship Zijing as the main book in the army, specializing in handling trivial matters in the army, Zijing is willing to give in?" ”
