After the people in the hall dispersed, the entire Gaoyi County entered a rapid operation, although the cooperation between them will not be very tacit and seamless, and there will be mistakes, but I believe that they will become more and more handy with the passage of time for the work at hand.

Moreover, at the beginning, the people of Gaoyi County and the people of Shahe Township were a little awkward to do things together, but after seven or eight days of cooperation and coexistence, everyone quickly adapted to each other. And these households who came with Wen Chou can be regarded as officially gaining a foothold in Gaoyi County.

In the fifth year of Zhongping, April 20, the weather was sunny and the spring breeze was blowing.

If you count the previous acting period in March, this is the second month that Wen Chou has been in charge of Gaoyi County. During this period, Gaoyi County was also well organized, not to mention the pacification of the Qianshou after the war, the wheat harvest, and the sowing of corn were carried out very smoothly.

First of all, for the pacification of the Qianshou of Gaoyi County, with the tens of millions of funds brought by Wenchou from Shahe Township, as well as the tens of thousands of stone grain that have been transported one after another as a backing, it is naturally not a difficult task, but it cannot be handed over to these Qianshou for free, and the strength of every household is still forced to join the army.

-- Because Gaoyi County has gone through battles, there are only 30,000 or 40,000 Qiantou, and indeed many of them are old, weak, sick and disabled. And most of them really don't have much interest in joining the army, so there is such a rule.

Since we do not want Gaoyi County to fall into the hands of thieves again, it is necessary to build a strong army. Even though the quality of Gaoyi County's sturdy is not very high, Wen Chou still decided to arm them, at least it is good to be a county guard who has more than enough to defend the city. Wouldn't it be wonderful to draw the good and strong ones from among them and form a strong force like the soldiers of Taolinsai, for the purpose of conquering thieves and defeating the enemy?

After two months of pacification and selection, the Qianshou who originally lived in Gaoyi County have basically returned to the place where they lived before the war, whether it is Jihe and Daying Township, which were previously relocated to Shahe Township by Wenchou, or the Gaoyi County households that were defeated by thieves and escaped and scattered in the countryside, or the Gaoyi County households that were hidden in the mountains one step earlier, have all settled down in Gaoyi County under the arrangement and struggle of a new group of county officials such as Wenchou, Cheng Qi, Liu Zhong, and Lu Liang.

These personnel once again established the two-township system, to be precise, the two-township system was restored. Because of the original Gaoyi County because of the avoidance of the invasion of the Montenegrin bandits, several township systems were abandoned, and only Daying and Jihe townships remained. In this Wenchou, the establishment of the two townships was approved and reported to the county.

So far, Gaoyi County has 3,000 households in a county, 20,000 people, and 4,000 strong people; There are more than 4,500 households in the four townships, more than 30,000 people, and 5 or 6,000 people. Of course, this strong man refers to adult men in a broad sense, and if you plan further, the young and strong people are only three or four thousand in total. That is, those who were selected by Wen Chou as the army.

One of them is specially set up for the more than 10,000 thieves and prisoners in Gaoyi County who have been converted to Qi people, and now they have migrated from Shahe Township, and have a good harvest in a season, and there is no delay in Gaoyi County.

If you want to talk about the good harvest in Shahe Township, it is necessary to talk about the current situation in Shahe Township.

Shahe Township was originally a township under the jurisdiction of Pingjian County, with a total of 30,000 Qiantou and about five or six thousand households! However, because of Wen Chou, there are a number of township officials such as Wang Chong in Shahe Township, who did not report the harvest and current situation in the township to Pingjian County as soon as possible, but chose to send someone to ask Wen Chou first! It's kind of interesting.

Not to mention that Wen Chou has been transferred to the outside of the township, he is no longer an official of Pingjian County, and as a county magistrate of Gaoyi County, it is not easy to meddle in the internal affairs of Pingjian County! But Wang Chong sent someone to report it first.

First, it shows Wang Chong's respectful gratitude to Wen Chou, second, it also shows that Wen Chou's influence on Shahe Township cannot be eliminated for a while, third, it also shows that Wen Chou has a deep understanding of Wang Chong in Shahe Township, and fourth, it also shows that the lower ruling class of the Han Empire is no longer the deterrent of the Han Dynasty.

Wen Chou was very satisfied with Wang Chong's behavior, so that he could indirectly take charge of Shahe Township, Wang Chong was just him as an agent of Shahe Township, and the same situation was also reflected in Jiang Xuan of Taolinsai. For the base camp and foundation Qianshou community that he has worked hard for a year, Wen Chou will not let go easily, so there is a series of personnel appointments and transfers when Wen Chou left the rank of Shahe Township and the captain of Taolin.

And at the moment, Wen Chou's vision is still unique, at least these two places have not completely separated from his palm. This is also Wen Chou's condition for some Shahe Township people to ascend to the throne, but what he said and did was very vague. After all, the current empire is still quite influential, and Wen Chou will not risk the world's disapproval.

After hearing the report of the people sent by Wang Chong, Wen Chou gave a rather vague report policy to reduce the situation as appropriate, first, to continue to implement the policy of hiding the wealth from the people when he was in office, second, to achieve the purpose of hiding his own strength, and third, to show that the township was quite developed under the rule.

This is very easy for Wang Chong, because thanks to the implementation of a series of policies last year, the current Shahe Township has really changed its appearance, not only with a full population, but also with a solid family.

Every family doesn't have a surplus of eight thousand yuan, and they are embarrassed to say that they are Shahe villagers, and not to mention the wheat harvest this time, doesn't that family have a harvest of four or five hundred stones? The entire Shahe Township has more than 600,000 acres of land, and the total output is about 2.5 million stones! On average, the yield is about four stone per mu! This is a high yield, especially in this famine year when the output of Jizhou is generally reduced, which is even more valuable.

This is due to the work of the four seasons excavated before the Wenchou year. This can also see the foresight of Wen Chou. According to Wen Chou's idea, this season's harvest should be better, reaching 3 million stones, but the heavens do not fulfill people's wishes.

But this is also the limit that Shahe Township can achieve at present, although through Wen Chou's suggestion, the township's farm tools and cultivation are more detailed and efficient, but there is also a limit to the yield that can be improved by intensive farming, and now the fields and farmers in Shahe Township have reached the extreme.

A quarter of the 2,500,000 stone of grain was extracted from the township to supply the Taolinsai army. This was set by Wen Chou when he was in office. Then the township funded the purchase of a quarter, as the township's grain stockpile, in case of emergency, which Wen Chou handed over to Wang Chong and the caravan leader Chen Ming when he left office, and it was Wen Chou as a reserve material for training the army. The surplus grain is kept by the township and kept as private property. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that in extraordinary times, Wen Chou will be forcibly requisitioned.

So far, all the grain stocks of Wenchou have reached nearly two million stones. At the same time, the treasury in his hands has shrunk further, and he is once again facing the dilemma of having no money to use. However, Wen Chou is still so happy about the storage of grain and grass, even if he has arranged for the displaced people in Gaoyi County after arranging tens of millions of funds in his hand, there is no more money available. Because he knows that troubled times are coming!

In addition to the bumper harvest of grain and grass, the performance of armament production in Shahe Township is also remarkable, and seven or eight hundred two-dang armors have been forged by blacksmiths! This can make Wen Chou's subordinates produce a strong team again! The arrival of these two armors has solved Wen Chou's urgent need, and it is very beneficial to the current eradication of rogues and thieves in Gaoyi County, and can greatly reduce the casualty rate of Wen Chou's immature soldiers at the moment.

At present, there are not many iron tools and iron ore left in the countryside, and at most four or five hundred armors will be created. This is also the result of the recovery of the iron tools and knives obtained from Wenchou's several battles, and the large number of iron tools purchased by the caravan from the neighboring counties. In this way, the two armors owned by Wen Chou can also reach 2,3400 bodies. Although it is not a good armor and armor, it is far better than ordinary county soldiers, and it is also slightly better for county soldiers.

As for the storage of other sword soldiers, the Wen Chou army also gained a lot, and it was not a problem to arm a team of six or seven thousand people. Four or five thousand ring-headed knives, two or three thousand spears and spears, more than a thousand bows and crossbows, four or five thousand wooden shields, one hundred thousand arrows, and more than a thousand war horses. This is the military material that Wen Chou can master after a year of struggle. And, of course, nearly 5,000 soldiers! Among them, there are 1,006 elites.

These materials are being transferred to Gaoyi County in an orderly manner by the people of Shahe Township and Taolinsai for the construction of Gaoyi County. After all, Gaoyi County is the focus of Wenchou's current construction, and it also has more potential for development and room for maneuver, while Shahe Township is only the foundation of Wenchou.

After Wen Chou said goodbye to the envoys of Shahe Township and Taolinsai, he breathed a long sigh of relief at the clear sky outside the hall, and looked forward to the future. As long as Shahe Township and Taolinsai develop in accordance with the following conditions, and Gaoyi County collects the displaced people and trains the military and civilians step by step, it will certainly be able to occupy a certain advantage in the 'war against Dong' in the near future, and it will also give them the right to speak.

-- Wen Chou, who came from later generations, very much recognized and admired Taizu's 'power from the barrel of a gun'.

Wen Chou's leisure time did not last long, because his chief bookkeeper, Jiang Zhe, came to discuss political affairs. This is the first time Jiang Zhe has come to listen to Wen Chou's instructions since he took office. Similarly, his character and mind are gradually becoming familiar with and adapting to Wen Chou's character.

And for Jiang Zhe's conscientiousness, Wen Chou is also very pleased.
