Since the establishment of the fort, the life of the military households in the fort has constantly attracted the attention of the surrounding military households and civilian households, and since the beginning of this year, some military households and people have come to join Wang Dou one after another, so that the population in the fort eventually reached more than 100 households and more than 400 people, which can be regarded as a well-known Datun Fort. In this year, being able to eat enough and have a stable place to live is a heavenly day, and what is it to work every day?

From mid-June to mid-July, there have been military households and displaced people coming to take refuge every day, and they have built huts around Jingbian Fort to live, just hoping that Wang Dou can take them in and make them military households of Jingbian Fort. These people are counted before and after, and I am afraid that there will be dozens of families.

Wang Dou was both happy and worried about the defection of these people, and he was happy that he had always lacked a population, and these people could greatly enhance his own power by coming. The worry is that there is not much money and grain left in the fort, and these people have all joined, and I am afraid that there is not so much money and food to support them, even if forty stone rice has just been transported from Wansheng and the rice shop, it will not be able to support it for long.

First of all, Wang Dou must still ensure the priority right to survive of the military households in Jingbianbao.

But how could Wang Dou let go of these populations? He instructed Liu to cook some porridge every day to keep these people alive, and at the same time selected some of them to work in the fields and pastures. Wang Dou did not let these people join the Jingbian Fort military household for the time being, nor did he let them live in the fort, but first asked Zhong Rong to register their names.

These people live around Jingbian Fort, and every day is looking forward to the day when they can join the fort.

Looking at the situation of these people, while the military households in the fort were proud, they also had some hostility towards them, fearing that these people would rob them of their quota rations.

Wang Dou calculated, the current money and food in the fort can only support one or two months, and it seems that he must go to suppress the bandits.

Due to the addition of these new laborers, Wang Dou drew four teams of soldiers out, two teams of veterans, one team of new soldiers, and one team of non-collectors. Let these people stop working and resume training. At the same time, the ROK and DPRK teams do not have to work after they do not collect at night, and they can train and reconnaisrate every day.

While these teams resumed training, Wang Dou asked Han Chao to lead the team to reconnoiter the bandits in various places at night.

Great Tomorrow Disaster**, there are many bandits everywhere, although Baoan Prefecture is in the hinterland of the military town, it is also rampant with bandits. On weekdays, these sergeants can be fed, but there is no food, only after the battle, there is a capture reward, after several victories to suppress bandits, everyone has more or less some gains, which makes everyone want to fight ** is very high.

Raising the war with war greatly reduced the pressure on Wang Dou to raise soldiers. At the same time, Wang Dou is brewing a big action, he needs a big amount of money, at least the same harvest as last year's extermination of the Four Leaning Liang bandits.

……

At the end of July, because of Wang Dou's several crackdowns on bandits, he had the confidence to accept all the displaced military households outside the fort into the military households of Jingbian Fort, so that these new military households were happy.

According to Zhong Rong's records, there are more than 60 of these military families and nearly 300 people, including more than 130 men and more than 50 young and strong. With the addition of these new military households, there are currently 170 households in Jingbian Fort, 700 mouths, and nearly 200 men in the prime of life, which is a very large tunbao.

Wang Dou took all these newcomers into the Jingbian Fort military households, but still let them live outside the fort. The population in the fort has been saturated, and there are still some places left in the fort to be used for public buildings, such as building some temples, theaters, archways, military temples and the like. If all these people were to live in the fort, it would be very crowded.

Wang Dou asked the craftsmen in the fort to plan a few pieces of land along the outside of Jingbian Fort, and built a few barracks along the outside of the fort.

Wang Dou asked several teams of young soldiers to train every day, and the same was true for the soldiers. The rest of the military households still continued to reclaim the land, feed the pigs and grow vegetables, and no one in the fort could be lazy.

Wang Dou, who came from later generations, of course, knew the importance of the base area, and the current income from the bandits was to raise some soldiers and horses, but when one day the external needs were exhausted, the money and food for raising soldiers and people needed to be driven by the population of his own territory. Therefore, the management of their own land cannot be relaxed.

……

At the end of July of the eighth year of Chongzhen, with the growth of the population of Jingbian Fort and the quiet spread of fame, some merchants found Wang Dou, hoping to let them set up shops in the fort. As a low-level money and food official, he is still proficient in these things.

In addition, the advent of these merchants also touched Wang Dou's inspiration, Jingbian Fort with the increase in the population of military households, the demand for all kinds of salt, cloth, medicine, tea, tea oil and other daily necessities is still more, in the past, only some merchants took on some needles, threads, brains, dyes, scissors and spoons and other small groceries to sell outside the fort, far from meeting the needs of military households.

Wang Dou planned to open a trade bazaar a few miles away from Jingbian Fort, and in the future, the military households and ordinary people in Fangyuan could pick up some agricultural and sideline products to come to the polder every one, four, and seven days, and they also happened to buy some useful materials in their fort.

Seeing Wang Dou's attitude towards himself, those merchants were naturally dissatisfied, it was impossible for those who came to Jingbian Fort to be big businessmen, but they had the ability to buy land and set up shops, so they naturally had a certain strength. Most of these businessmen are the children of squires or big families from all over Baoan Prefecture, and they have always been very comfortable in various parts of the state city, but they hit a nail here in Wang Dou.

Wang Dou's attitude inevitably offended them and the forces behind them, but what they thought, Wang Dou disdained it.

It's just that the current population and wealth of Jingbian Fort is a big source of customers, and after thinking about it, these businessmen still have to do what Wang Dou said, honestly take the household sticker to apply for the city registration and open a business, and wait for future registration approval.

On July 30, Du Gong, a hundred households in Shunxiang Fort, came to Jingbian Fort with a smile on his face, accompanied by his brother-in-law who opened a cattle market in Shunxiang Fort.
