Volume 1: Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 215 This place is fertile and beautiful
"There is the town of Turato, and if you see the waterway, you can enter the waters of Turato
Ye Ting pointed to the waterway between the two mountains in the distance and shouted, and the people behind him stroked their beards and smiled.
"Uncle Seventeen, I never thought that you were here in person, if Eleven Lang knew the way, he would definitely be very happy." Ye Ting said again.
The person who brushes the beard is named Ye Shu, ranked seventeenth in the Ye family, and is the concubine of the patriarch Ye Dan, he came this time, to a certain extent, on behalf of Ye Dan's meaning, to see if the new family business that Ye Chang promised to find for the Ye family is really suitable.
Because the goal was about to arrive, he was originally a little seasick, but he was also excited and refreshed.
"Didn't you say that there is only one woodland now?"
"Although it is only a piece of woodland, but in the ten days I came before, I and Shiyi Lang walked around, and calculated that there is a lot of wasteland, between the valleys, there are large areas of silting land, as long as there is enough manpower, cultivation can be mature for two or three years, plus slope land, thousands of acres is easy, and there are more than 1,000 acres of watered land." Ye Ting exaggerated: "And the soil here is fertile, listen to Shiyi Lang, and further north, to the side of the Liao River, it is even more black soil that can be oiled."
"After all, let me see it with my own eyes, although it is not a relocation of the whole family, half of the people will be moved...... That's more than 200 people. Hearing that there are thousands of acres of cultivated land, Ye Shu calculated in his heart, in Wu Zepi, there is not so much land controlled by their Ye family.
"In fact, there are not only a few thousand acres, there are few people here, there are only a few thousand people in the whole capital, and the land under its governance is our Xiuwu County, as long as it expands to the surrounding areas, not to mention thousands of temples, tens of thousands of acres are also available."
Ye Ting knew Ye Chang's intentions, and after following Ye Chang around, his heart was also wild, so it was impossible for him to go back to Xiuwu Wu Zepi to guard the land that was only more than ten acres of land.
The boat crossed the waterway and entered the Tosato Sea, where you can see the neighborhood clearly. Ye Shu turned his head and looked around, nodding, at least this sea area is not protected from the wind and waves on the sea, it is a natural harbor, so the Ye family will have no livelihood for those fishing families here.
"Our camp over there?" He asked again.
He looked in the direction of Duli, because there were people there, but Duli was slightly northeast, and Ye Ting pointed to the west: "Over there"
There were mountains, not very tall, and the forests were so dense that it was difficult to have large stretches of flat land. Ye Shu sighed slightly, there is no large area of continuous flat land, which means that the fields will be scattered by then, which is unsatisfactory.
"What we lack most now is manpower, and this trip, more than 200 people have been transported, which will definitely come in handy." Ye Ting said again.
He originally went back to Dengzhou to raise supplies, and just in time to lead people to Dengzhou in Yeshu, so he brought them over first. In addition to the dozens of Ye family members led by Ye Shu, there were also victims from Luoyang, and more than a dozen craftsmen recruited in Dengzhou.
The boat approached the camp, and Ye Shu suddenly sighed: "Old Five, is this the young man you are talking about?" ”
Ye Ting was also stunned: "What...... This many? ”
I saw that there was no one in the camp, but now there are at least three or four hundred people busy, and the woods that originally extended to the sea have opened a road, leading straight to the depths of the mountains and forests.
When Ye Ting and the others left, they had originally only carved out less than one acre of flat land, but now the flat land has been spread along the seaside, with a full five acres of land, and it is enough to build a small wharf area.
After the boat docked at the simple dock, Ye Ting escorted Ye Shu ashore, and greeted Ye Chang with a smile and a smile: "I said how to delay it for two days, it turned out that Uncle Seventeen came."
Ye Shu is actually very mediocre among Ye Dan's sons, but fortunately, he knows that he is mediocre and knows things, so he doesn't dare to take it big in front of Ye Chang, although he received Ye Chang's courtesy, he immediately helped him up: "Eleven Lang, you have worked hard, and those of us who are uncles do not grow up, but I want you to run around at a young age to find a way out for our Ye family." ”
"Where is Uncle Seventeen, I have today, and I am also taken care of by the clan, and half of these capable people around me are brothers in our clan."
After greeting Ye Shu up, Ye Ting couldn't wait to ask, "Why are there so many people?" ”
"Oh, I've already taken the town of Duli." Ye Chang said flatly: "Now that Second Brother Nan is sitting in the capital, I am preparing to build a new town here." ”
"What?" Ye Shu didn't know what to say, but Ye Ting understood: "Duli Town has been won?" ”
"Exactly."
"How is this possible, Eleven Lang, there are only ten people in your hands who can fight......"
"Ten is enough." Ye Chang grinned, and finally couldn't hide his pride.
Ten people captured a small town with 2,000 people, which is not a small feat. Sure enough, hearing this, Ye Ting opened his mouth wide, and Wu Dahai and the others next to him squeezed their eyebrows at each other, and they were all shocked.
"I came here on the emperor's order, and the town's heroes disobeyed the emperor's order, not only intending to humiliate me, but also trying to obstruct it, and I was killed on the spot." Seeing that his uncle Ye Shushang looked stunned, Ye Chang explained.
Ye Shu was taken aback, he thought that Ye Chang, as an official of the Tang Dynasty, would definitely be nothing to seize a town, but he didn't know that he had killed people and shed blood.
"Eleven Lang, it's not too peaceful here?"
"It's not peaceful, it's up to us." Ye Chang said vaguely.
"Eleven Lang, you make it clear to me, if you don't make it clear, I'll take someone to turn around and go back to Wu Ze." Although Ye Shu is mediocre, he is not a person without responsibility, hearing Ye Chang's perfunctory meaning, Ye Shu lowered his voice and said: "It is a matter of the whole clan, but you alone can make up your mind."
"Ah, it's me who was so rude." Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, knowing that it was indeed inappropriate, although the Ye family now regarded him as the elder, he couldn't be too arrogant, and immediately said: "Liaodong Han and Hu are mixed, so it is not without danger." Zhuhu is jealous of the wealth of the Han people, but as long as we are strong, we can drive and assimilate them, otherwise we will be bullied by them. ”
"The total number of our clan is only more than 200 people, even if you add the disaster victims you recruited from Luoyang, it is less than 2,000, how can this little manpower be considered powerful?"
"There are also Han people in the local area, you see that there are a total of 319 people working in our camp now, all of them are Han Chinese." Ye Chang smiled and pointed: "In addition to them, there are still three thousand seven hundred and seventy-four people in Duli Town, and all of them add up to Ding Nan, a total of one thousand four hundred and forty-two people......"
He counted the number of people, and it was really easy to come, but Ye Shu was surprised and delighted when he heard it.
"I also asked people to recruit nearby Han people, as long as they come to invest, according to the imperial court system, there will be twenty acres of Yongye land. But they also have to serve one out of every three of them, and now they are serving in the conscription. ”
As Ye Chang spoke, he heard a bell suddenly ringing over there, and then everyone who was living put down what they were doing and ran towards a place on the edge of the dock one by one.
"What is this?"
"It's time to eat, today Nanba beat a wild boar, just sent it, plus the sea fish, Uncle Seventeen shouldn't have eaten it yet, let's go, it's just a coincidence."
Ye Shu followed Ye Chang to the side of the dock, it turned out to be a big kitchen, and the people who arrived here lined up, Ye Shu found that they were about ten to twelve people in a line, and then there was another person counting the number of people, and that person stepped forward to take a spoon to add food and serve food for everyone, and he himself was the last one to pick up the bowl.
This person should be the leader of the gang, only after a group of people arrives, can they go to dinner, if the people are not together, even if there is only one, the people of the gang have to wait. Seeing this scene, Ye Shu nodded secretly, this is a typical Ye Chang style.
Ye Chang placed great emphasis on discipline, whether it was when he was in Wu Zepi or in Luoyang, his discipline requirements for his followers were so difficult that even the army at this time could not compare.
The food is also very good, there are fish and meat, as well as green vegetables, such as fungus, mushrooms and other mountain delicacies. Ye Shu frowned, although the landlords in the countryside who were better allowed to let their hired workers prepare a sumptuous meal before they could do their work, but it was too rich to do it like this.
He whispered to Ye Chang, but Ye Chang smiled.
"After eating this kind of food, would you still be willing to go back to eat bran vegetables?" Ye Chang asked in a low voice.
Ye Shu suddenly realized, indeed, these people were nominally "conscripted and sent to conscription" by Ye Chang, a court official, but in fact they came to be hired laborers, had wages, and ate well, when the so-called conscription was over, how could they be willing to return to the fields to live
It is necessary to be a worker in Ye Chang's hands, and at that time, the main workshop of the Ye family will also move here, just to hire a group of workers.
"It's better for Eleven to think farther."
"But the manpower is still insufficient, now I send six squads, to the north to recruit manpower, all the Han family children, can come to recruit, come to serve, only need to serve for ten months, can get twenty acres of land, another five years of farming, can become a Yongye field, passed on to the descendants." Ye Chang said again.
"It's ......"
"The homestead order is only implemented in our Lushun."
"Lushun?"
"Oh, I named the camp Lushun, this sea is Lushun Bay, let's count it as a good mouthpiece." Ye Chang laughed.
"Will this homestead order cause trouble?"
"That's inevitable, but I still have a decree to be issued." Ye Chang squinted and said.
The Zhaitian Order is only recruiting the Han people in the diaspora, so the shock around it is not very big, and Ye Chang also has a big killing weapon in his hand, which is the "Han Slave Abolition Order".
In the whole of Liaodong, it was illegal to use Han people as slaves, and since the day the decree was implemented, all Han slaves were freed
According to the information obtained from Shen Xi, the population of the entire Liaodong plus the Bohai Kingdom is about four million, of which nearly one-third are Han Chinese, and these people will be the objects that Ye Chang will strive for in Liaodong. But a considerable part of them are in a difficult situation, because the Han people are good at farming and making, so they are serfs and artisan slaves of the nobles. If they can be released, not only can Ye Chang's own strength be strengthened, but it will also deal a heavy blow to the Hu people of the alien race.
But this is a real big killer, as soon as it is promulgated, Ye Chang will become the target of everyone, at least for a short time, Ye Chang is not able to resist the slightly stronger alien tribes.
"With such a division, is Tian enough?"
"After breaking the Gao family, I realized how many good fields this guy controls in his hands." Ye Chang said with a smile: "This time, a total of 4,884 acres were divided, and the Gao family's fields were indeed not enough, but we have surveyed, and more than 10,000 acres of fields can be opened in the left vicinity......
At this time, there were few people and more land in Lushun, unlike the other life, which raised hundreds of thousands of people, and naturally there was wasteland that could be cultivated. It's just that it is very difficult for a family to reclaim these wastelands, and the only way is to organize people to work together to reclaim them.
And there are so many big trees on the mountains near here, you can just choose the right ones to build ships, Ye Chang is in his heart, but he puts this in a very important position.
After eating, Ye Chang led Ye Shu to climb the highest mountain nearby, pointed out the surrounding situation, and looked at the area within a radius of dozens of miles, Ye Shu nodded again and again: Even if two-thirds of it is hilly, the rest of the place is much more cultivated than Wu Zepi.
When I asked about the climate here, I was even more satisfied with the fact that rice and wheat can be grown, and that fruit trees can be planted on the hills. Although there is no contiguous large plain, half of the Ye family's clan has moved over, and they can still live in one place, Ye Chang even pointed out the place where the Ye family is going to gather, which is only less than two miles away from the camp, and the valley that can be seen along the ravine, the left and right valleys are reclaimed, and there can be hundreds of acres of paddy fields, more than 1,000 acres of watered fields and more dry fields. Further inward, thousands of acres of paddy fields can even be carved out.
Although it is raw land, it can be cultivated for three or five years, and the land can be matured, and after more than ten years, it will not be inferior to Wu Zepi.
"Eleven Lang, after I go back this time, I will tell my father about the situation here, you just have to rest assured, this is indeed a treasure land, my Ye clan is here, and it should be able to prosper." Generally satisfied with the leaf tree so to the leaf Changdao
They were standing on the top of the hill talking, and suddenly, someone rushed over, shouting "Woe to you", Ye Chang frowned, and saw Ye Ting leading someone to stop the guy.
It was the person sent to the north to recruit the displaced people, Ye Chang recognized him, it seemed that his name was Kong Lingkan, and he claimed to be a saint.
"What's the matter, let him come closer and speak." Seeing the confusion in Ye Shu's eyes, Ye Chang greeted.
Ye Ting brought people to Ye Chang, and Kong Lingkan bowed down and said, "Lang Jun, it's not good, disaster is coming."
"What's the panic, it's that a tiger is coming, and there are Nan Yashen shooting here, and I can't eat you" Ye Chang said angrily.
Seeing that he was about to convince Ye Shu, this guy ran back in a fuss and made such a play.
Although for Ye Chang, the help of the Ye clan is not too important now, but if he can get the full support of the Ye clan, at least he has dozens of people in his hands who can be trusted, and there are still one or twenty men who can fight in battle.
"It's Weizi Village in the north, and they heard that the Gao family was ended, so they said that they would send troops to fight Duli."
"Weizi Village?" Ye Changzhi said that this place is just a cottage more than 40 miles northeast of Lushun, and the total population of the village is three or four hundred people, a total of more than 70 households, such a small village, he actually wants to beat him?
"What the hell is going on, you will explain the cause and effect." Ye Chang said: "The village of three or four hundred people also wants to come to beat us, could it be that they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall? ”
"Lang Jun, although there are only three or four hundred people in their village, there are many hunters, and they are not a village, and they also said that they want to join forces with the surrounding villages, and behind them, it is Qingnipu" Kong Lingkan said with a crying voice: "The villain passed the news to Lang Jun, and he was beaten by them."
