After the list was posted, the people were all talking.

"What do you think of the yamen encouraging us to register here?" A strong man dug up a shovel and threw it on the carriage, lifted the corner of his coat to wipe off the sweat, revealed his strong abdominal muscles, and asked a few companions.

A thin man next to him frowned when he heard this, and said while working: "Although my family is only a hundred miles away from here, I am always unfamiliar with this place. ”

"Yes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as our kennels! And even if we are willing to stay, the old people in the family will not nod. Another interjected.

Many people have worked hard outside for a lifetime, and eventually they will sell all their family property and return to their hometown.

After death, he must be buried in his ancestral grave before he is willing.

Thinking that if you are buried outside, you will become a lonely ghost.

"I want to come here!"

Suddenly, a different voice was inserted, and the man was full of interest, his eyebrows fluttering, "The list text is clear, within ten days, go to the county government and wait for the fields here to be reclaimed, if you buy it, you only need to pay half the price, and there is no land in my family, only a few caves."

Just settle here, buy some land, Ha Lu Ha, and my whole family will be from Lingtong County in the future. ”

The man's voice was very loud, and it came out at once.

When the overseer heard this, he did not open his mouth to reprimand.

If these people are lazy and don't work, chatting and fart, the overseer will inevitably have to reprimand them severely.

But today, there is a special advice from above, so you can relax a little.

If someone chats and talks about going to Lingtong County, don't interrupt them.

When many people hear these words, they are a little moved.

Most of the people living at the bottom have no land, and they all lease the landlord's farmland for farming.

After the autumn harvest, taxes must be levied on the imperial court first, and then rent will be paid to the locality.

If the weather is good throughout the year, the family will still be able to eat their stomachs.

But if you encounter a slight natural disaster and reduce the harvest, then you will suffer.

If the natural disaster is serious, it is necessary to borrow money from the landlord in order to eat and not starve to death, but the landlord's money is so easy to borrow?

Although the interest is not as good as that of loan sharks, it is also difficult to repay.

So from generation to generation, the children and grandchildren of the people at the bottom were tied up and worked for the landlord's family.

As a farmer, who wouldn't want to own their own land?

The temptation is great!

So many people are tempted.

"I also want to stay, but the family didn't save money before, but there is a debt, even if it is only half of the price, I can't afford it!" The man let out a long sigh of helplessness.

When many people heard this, their eyes darkened.

All of a sudden, people went on working, and their mouths were quiet.

In addition to the lack of money to buy land at home, everyone has other kinds of worries, and finally wants to stay and settle down, suitable for staying, and there are very few people who can stay.

However, after finishing work in the evening, there was still a group of people gathered at the gate of the county office, wanting to enter the house.

In this era, if you want to enter a household in other places, the procedures are not complicated and difficult, as long as you have a road guide issued by the yamen at home.

If you enter the household here, there will naturally be an errand who will go to the hometown of the household, so the yamen, and the household will be closed there.

However, although it is not complicated, under normal circumstances, the local yamen will charge a large fee.

So it's not okay to have no money in hand.

However, it is clear from the posted list that in Lingtong County, no half penny will be levied.

Minzhuang and the women got off work, passed by the county yakou, and saw many people lined up here.

Zhilu said that these people want to settle down here, some shake their heads lightly, some are envious, and some are jealous and sneering.

"If our family has money, we will settle here."

"The family still owes a lot of money to Huang Yuanwai."

"No brains, do you really think it's better to stay?"

"When the project is completed, who knows if those fields will be able to grow crops? You know, this was just a meadow before. ”

"The water of the Hunhe River is so easy to lead?"

"Don't get flooded again."

"When they bought the land but didn't get anything, they let them cry to death!"

Passers-by have different thoughts.

After a few days of hard work, Jiang Long finally made the ice cream, and it was only at this time that he learned about the list posted by Cheng Ze and Xiao Fan.

Jiang Long naturally has no objection to the approach of the two.

He was indeed negligent before, if the project is completed and no one stays to farm, then the previous work has been wasted.

So Jiang Long brought the freshly made ice cream with different flavors and let the two taste it.

Cheng Ze and Xiao Fan are naturally full of praise.

It is a great pleasure to be able to eat such cool and sweet things on a hot summer day.

In the afternoon, there was a report from the official that Mike was out asking to see him.

After Jiang Long said that he was determined to buy all the wine in the caravan, he greeted the black-clothed guard that night, and the next morning fulfilled his promise and handed the silver to Mike, who was very happy at the time, but did not immediately turn back.

It is not easy to brave many dangers and obstacles to run a big Qi.

You can't go back empty-handed.

Mike has been buying silk and porcelain all over the world these days, and pulling them back to sell.

Now that it's ready, before leaving, say goodbye to Jiang Long.

Jiang Long met with Mike and carefully told him to help him with his heart, and he would definitely not treat him badly at that time.

Mike said yes again and again.

Leaving the county office and turning back to the inn, Mike's caravan planned to leave early the next morning.

Why don't you suddenly come and discuss matters with Jiang Long for a while.

In the evening, Jiang Long took out the ice cream and gave it to the black-clothed guard.

The black-clothed guard was naturally full of praise.

Ice cubes, cold drinks, fruit juices, and ice cream flavors are definitely new things that can make a lot of money.

Jiang Long didn't ask for more silver, but asked the black-clothed guard to help buy 50,000 taels of silver from other places to transport it again.

The black-clothed guard respectfully should be.

Then, Jiang Long gave a demonstration and taught the black guards various practices.

The process is not difficult, so the black guard will learn it as soon as he learns it.

"I need one hundred and fifty horses that can be trained to be used as mounts." Jiang Long said suddenly.

The black-clothed guard was stunned when he heard this, and his face showed doubt.

"The river project is progressing smoothly, and the economic development prospects of Lingtong County are also good, but the military strength is too weak." Jiang Long opened his mouth to explain, "I plan to let Mr. He train one hundred and fifty cavalry first, so that he can deal with the horse bandits or foreign armies who come to attack the city. ”

I sent Mike away before, why don't you look for it, that is, talk about it.

Jiang Long felt that it made sense.

You can't just be rich, you have to be hard-fisted.

Otherwise, the wealth in your hands will become a source of trouble.

Attract horse bandits to peep at the greed of aliens.

Even if the opponent can't break through the city wall, if he leaves with one blow, such a tactic will make Lingtong County very passive.

There are no cavalry, just defending the city, at most they can only ensure that their own side does not fail.

The other side is full of cavalry, and they feel that the bones are not easy to gnaw, so they can immediately retreat, and it is impossible for the infantry in the city to pursue them.

If you want to win a real victory, it will be difficult.

In the past, for the Daqi side.

As long as you hold the city, do not be breached by the enemy, and resist the invasion, it is considered a victory.

But Jiang Long doesn't see it that way.

How can there be a passive beating, people just throw a few corpses, and then retreat and say that they have won the battle?

Such a view is too cowardly!

The real victory is the enemy's provocation, and then the own army is attacked, and the battle is won.

Or take revenge on your own side and kill them directly on the opponent's door and defeat them.

Being beaten passively and then sticking to the city is not Jiang Long's style.

Therefore, it is necessary to raise the military strength of Lingtong County.

Of course, Lingtong County has only just begun to develop, so it can only cultivate and increase the number of cavalry and infantry under its command step by step.

Otherwise, it will be too cumbersome to recruit too many soldiers at once.

It is important to know that raising and training troops is very money-consuming.

Relying on Jiang Long's own strength can barely ensure the smooth operation of the project in Lingtong County, and the people will have enough to eat, and if they raise many soldiers, it will be very difficult.

The black-clothed guard hesitated for a moment before nodding, "In three days, the little one will have someone bring the horses." ”

In the following ten days, the population of Lingtong County was still growing rapidly, and many of them were shrewd people who officially settled in Lingtong County, including some small businessmen and small landlords, who were very optimistic about the future development of Lingtong County.

I plan to spend money on farmland as soon as the land is cleared.

Now settled in Lingtong County, the price of farmland will be cut in half.

In addition, the first two years are wasteland, and farming should not be taxed, which is very cost-effective.

Now a small landlord with ten acres of land can get at least fifty acres of farmland if he sells his land and then buys wasteland here in Lingtong County!

As long as the water conservancy is really built well, it is not difficult to grow wasteland into fertile land.

Ten days, there can be a lot of variation.

For example, in Lingtong County, rows of brand-new brick houses have been erected in the east and south of the city, and many people have lived in them.

To build a single house, each building must measure the area in advance and lay the foundation.

And row by row of covers, lines are drawn, and the foundation is beaten from one end to the other.

After the foundation was laid, it was built dozens of feet in a slip.

Planning the area, it is also not much trouble.

The efficiency is greatly improved.

As the people continue to move into new houses, gradually, it can be seen that building houses in this way can save a lot of land.

Xiao Fan calculated that after the East City and South City were all rebuilt, at least 1,000 new houses would be vacant.

These houses can be sold for money.

And that's not counting the new planning of several avenues, which can be lined with shops and storefronts.

Lingtong County is not a big county, and Xiao Fan estimates that in more than a month, the reconstruction of the east and south cities will be completed.

Then we will rebuild the west city and the north city.

In the past ten days, the black-clothed guards have not been idle.

In many prefectures and cities in Daqi, a new type of shop has appeared.

The shop mainly sells ice, cold drinks, various juices, and ice cream, and later wine.

So this summer, the rich have another kind of enjoyment.

The business of the store is very good, and some people naturally become greedy, but those who want to get cheap end up just getting disgraced.

As a result, many people know that the background of the store is very strong.

The black-clothed guards of Jingfu have another source of income that can have a large amount of income.
