Chapter 62: Reclamation

Jia Xu said: "Ah Qin......" He only called the title, and then paused. Li Qin is now a military marquis, not a big official, but he is the leader of their emerging group, although he is a brother-in-law, but for the leader, he still has to show respect, it doesn't matter if he calls Ah Qin in private, it's not good to call him so in public.

Jia Xu said: "Junhou, do you think my inscription is properly written?" ”

Li Qin nodded and said, "Are you sure that the people can understand it, they are illiterate, and your writing is simple enough?" ”

Jia Xu turned his head to look at the people around him, and thought, "It's simple enough, you should be able to understand it." He understands people, and naturally understands that Li Qin asked him to write vernacular inscriptions, so that the people can pass them on by word of mouth and play the name of Fujiao Fort, so he writes very straightforwardly, and I believe that even illiterate women and children can understand it.

The people around nodded at the same time, and Xu Xiaoni preemptively said: "I understand, that is, our Fujiao Fort is good, and it is different from other places." ”

The people on the city wall said: "Yes, our Fujiao Fort is different from other places. ”

Li Qin hummed, and could hear that Fujiao Fort was different, and that goal was achieved. He said: "Everything is sooner rather than later, today is definitely too late, but from tomorrow, every day after dinner, Mr. Jia will teach everyone to learn words, first learn to write everyone's name, and then learn to memorize this inscription, everyone must learn to memorize, don't be lazy!" ”

The people laughed and said loudly: "Don't be lazy, we don't care what we do, we're afraid that we won't have to do it, but we are never lazy." ”

Feng Cheng also said on the side: "Junhou, this stele is standing at the gate of the city, and my subordinates will ask someone to carve out the stele tomorrow, I estimate that some of our people will do this work." ”

Li Qin nodded and said: "This matter is very important, I will leave it to you, I can rest assured that you will do it!" ”

Feng Cheng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and today he was praised by Li Qin in a row, which made him feel that he was very important, and if he didn't work hard, he would be sorry for Li Qin's trust.

After talking for a while, Li Qin asked people to go back to the village to bring a few sheep, and have a good meal today, which is the first banquet after the establishment of Fujiao Fort, and it has to be made decent.

While the people were busy, Li Qin led everyone to circle around the fort wall, watching the construction of the city wall and looking at the nearby terrain.

To say that the people of this era work is real, although the fortress wall is not high, but it is unusually strong, and the trench outside the wall is also dug deep and wide, of course, such a castle to resist the attack of thousands of people, for the time being is still unrealistic, but if the enemy army comes, the number does not exceed two thousand, it is still enough to resist a few days, and in the case of small losses on their side.

Li Qin stood on the north fortress wall, pointed to the Great Plains, and said, "If you want to talk about land, we really need more or less here, and it's all quite fertile. Tell me, how much land do you have to open up to feed us? Well, I mean, you need to have enough food for two years to produce in one year. ”

If you want to talk about war, then few people around him can say too many ugly people, but when it comes to farming, everyone can say a lot, the people take food as the sky, don't understand anything else, can you still not understand the things in the rice bowl, and there are no wealthy people here who don't get mud on their fingers.

Li Tian has the most right to speak, and said: "This is wasteland, compared to cooked land, the first year of grain production is definitely not much, it is only one acre of land and one stone of grain, if you eat thin and then add bran vegetables, then there is nothing to say, but if you eat dry, then the strong labor will get two stones a month, and one and a half stones for other people is enough." ”

Li Qin said: "Yes, we are not as rich as the rich land in Guannei, and it is a wasteland, and this year we can beat one stone of grain per acre of land." ”

Jia Xu said: "If you plant corn, you can plant it for more than half a year, there are few people in the Guan, but we have few people here, from March to May, you can plant it all the time, you don't need to plant a piece of land, so much land, not to mention opening 10,000 acres, even if it is 10,000 hectares, it is no problem!" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed at the Great Plains, where there was no end in sight.

Li Qin nodded silently, among the extracurricular books he used to read when he was in school, there was a book called "Heavenly Creation", he had seen the chapter about corn, but at that time, he just looked at it casually, and he didn't take it to heart, and now he thinks that he can't remember too much. But he remembered that corn could be planted in March at the earliest, and in May at the latest.

In other words, if you grow corn, although the yield is low, it needs slightly less in terms of manpower and animal power. For example, the people of the fort can plant 1,000 acres first, and then 1,000 acres, and how much wasteland can be reclaimed, anyway, they can reclaim as much as possible.

Li Qin said with a smile: "Fortunately, we have a lot of land here, so we don't need to calculate and calculate like in the pass." But if you have to open up more land, I'm afraid I won't have enough seeds to bring back! ”

He brought back 400 stone seeds, no matter what, it can't be said that there is less, but if he carries out large-scale production, does his best to open up the wasteland, and adds the population that will come in the future, it can't be said to be too much, and everything is averaged, and it will not be much on the heads of individuals, not to mention that the yield of the newly opened wasteland is low.

Dian Wei leaned over at this time and said, "Young master, the person I injured last time was very rich, he is in business, even if there are no seeds at home, you can buy some, or ask him for help?" After a pause, he said, "I'll go and apologize to him, let him beat me, and get angry, lest he refuse to help!" ”

Dian Wei is talking about Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng is a big businessman, what he does is to buy and sell, if he is willing to help, of course he will solve the big problem.

Li Qin was quite moved in his heart, a person with the surname Dian Wei, for the sake of the livelihood of Fujiaobao, was willing to bow his head and admit his mistakes, although the fault was his, but for a person like him, it was not easy to admit his mistakes, which showed that he was indeed thinking about himself.

Li Qin nodded and said: "He will definitely help, let's go together tomorrow, Brother Liu is a good person, he won't help because of a little thing, don't fight and don't know each other!" ”

In fact, Dian Wei and Liu Sheng are not a trivial matter, Dian Wei ate Liu Sheng's head sheep and discounted Liu Sheng's legs, this is a big festival that can be desperate, it is really not easy to resolve it.

Li Qin looked at everyone and said, "But the matter of clearing the wasteland and cultivating the land ...... have to be handed over to someone to do, his gaze turned to Feng Cheng's face and stopped.

Feng Cheng knew that he could not do anything else, but to do some auxiliary work, and if he wanted to get a position in Fujiao Fort, he had to work hard. Seeing Li Qin looking at him, he hurriedly said: "This matter can be done by his subordinates, if the military marquis can trust his subordinates, his subordinates guarantee to open 20,000 mu this year...... No, 30,000 acres...... Well, 50,000 acres of new land is coming! ”

Li Qin smiled and said, "You don't have to be so reluctant, just do your best, our people can't just open up the wasteland, they have to do something else!" ”

Feng Cheng hurriedly said: "Recruit people again, as long as there are rations, it will be almost enough to build more grass huts." Now that the weather is getting warmer, the house can be built slowly, and it is imperative to open the land first. ”

Jia Xu smiled: "That's a good thing, everything is urgent and slow, and you have a little bit of knowledge!" "It's rare that he didn't say that Feng Cheng was a puppet.

At this time, a burger ran over and said respectfully: "Marquis, the meal is ready!" ”

Li Qin waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's eat, only talk about happy things today, and it's not too late to talk about troubles tomorrow!" ”

Everyone laughed together, and went down the fort wall to have fun with the burghers.

This was the first big banquet in the fort, but the new people in the fort were very restrained, just eating and drinking, and did not talk much, while Li Qin's acquaintances came to talk to him one after another, in order to show that he and Li Qin had a very close relationship.

When it was dark, Li Qin returned to Fujiao Village, and the new residents had no place to live, so they all built straw huts outside the castle, Li Qin brought the valuables back to the village, and a large number of camels and horses rushed to the fort wall, and put the temporary horse pen.

Early the next morning, Li Qin summoned the grooms from Longxian County, calculated their wages, and asked who was willing to stay here.

Li Qin summoned everyone again, and asked for a good life, so he took Dian Wei and went into the city to see Liu Sheng, of course, he also had to meet the county magistrate Tang Jie, he had been away from Fuping for so long, and he had to meet him when he came back, and send some gifts to show respect.

went to the county government first, Li Qin wanted to see Yusuke, but the officials told him that Yusuke went to pick up the guests, and he left the day before yesterday, so he is expected to be able to come back today.

Li Qin had no choice but to take Dian Wei to see Liu Sheng.

As soon as they arrived at Liu's house, before they could enter the door, Liu Sheng's family members hula and hugged a large group, all holding sticks, to find Dian Wei to settle accounts. Liu Zhongyan came back first yesterday, in addition to telling Liu Sheng what happened in Longxian, he naturally had to say about Dian Wei, Dian Wei's appearance is different from ordinary people, and it will naturally attract the attention of others, as soon as Liu Zhongyan describes him, Liu Sheng will know who he is, and of course the family members also know!

Seeing the swarming housekeepers, Dian Wei pursed his mouth and whispered, "A group of useless chickens...... Cubs! ”

Li Qin said: "You should be peaceful, have the strength to rush to the opponent, and don't be rough with your own people." He hugged his fists at the family members and said loudly: "My brother Liu is at home, I have something important to inform him, and I must see him immediately!" ”

The family members were looking at Dian Wei, not at him, and they all said: "Li Lang is here, you ...... Alas, my master was invited, but he ......"

As soon as Li Qin turned around, he saw Dian Wei holding the gift he was going to give to Liu Sheng high with both hands, but his head was lowered. Li Qin suddenly gave a thumbs up in his heart, okay, understand the general situation, take the overall situation into account, not a reckless person!
