There are large areas of abandoned land in the Flying Eagle Pass that are uncultivated, and these wastelands can be turned into fertile land as long as they serve for a few years, but unfortunately no one has cultivated them.

It's not that the people don't want to open up wasteland, but the imperial court doesn't encourage it, and the tax on the land is the same as that of fertile land, and there is no preferential treatment.

But the harvest of the wasteland is not even half of the fertile land, and the people really can't reclaim the wasteland, so the barren land can only be wasted.

Most of the land and good fertile land are in the homes of the rich merchants of the official eunuchs, and the people have no land but to work as tenants, and the tenants are busy for a year, and sixty or seventy percent of the output must be handed over to the lord's family.

There is no more black-hearted person who even has to take away seventy percent of the harvest, and the rest of the harvest, don't think about being fed and clothed, just barely survive, the people have no money left, and a slight natural and man-made disaster will be reduced to slavery.

The people are having a hard time, but the court will not reduce taxes because the people invite disasters, and the people who can't pay the taxes will either sell themselves or be arrested by the government and sold for the whole family.

The problem of land being gathered in the homes of wealthy merchants has existed since the founding of the dynasty, and it has worsened until now, and very few people still own land.

The land has been annexed year after year, and the problem has been very serious, and there have been dumb monarchs in the court one after another, repeatedly squeezing the blood and sweat of the people.

Lian Shuangshuang and Fu Zhongchang rode horses and inspected these barren lands in the Flying Eagle Pass together, to be honest, Fu Zhongchang felt distressed when he saw these abandoned lands.

"These lands are all fertile land, but unfortunately they are all abandoned here, the princess asked me to come and see these lands, but do you want those captives to reclaim these lands and grow food?"

Fu Zhongchang is a general with a very good mind, Lian Shuangshuang's maternal grandfather is a Confucian general, he was born in a book at first, and later felt that what the Great Zhou needed most was not a civil servant, but a military general who could fight well before he abandoned his pen and followed Rong.

Fu Zhongchang, as a proud disciple of Lian Shuangshuang's maternal grandfather, was carefully taught by Lian Shuangshuang's maternal grandfather, so he was naturally just as shrewd.

It was as if at this moment, Lian Shuangshuang didn't say anything, just took Fu Zhongchang to look at these barren lands, and he guessed Lian Shuangshuang's thoughts.

Therefore, it is comfortable to deal with smart people, and you don't need to explain anything repeatedly, you can make sense at one point, and you have to save a lot of things.

"The imperial court has always delayed the grain and grass salaries in various places over the years, and those ministers have also held the grain and grass in their hands to blackmail the border pass, so that the border pass soldiers have worked hard to guard the border pass and beg them to give them grain and grass in a low voice.

Great Xia invaded the border passes at any time, and the soldiers under the general were on guard day and night, and they couldn't spare their hands to open up the wasteland and farm the land.

Make some thin chains and lock the captives' feet, so that the captives are unable to move, and if they can't take a step, they are not afraid of them escaping, and it is easy to take care of.

Although the chain costs some iron ingots, we have obtained a lot of weapons from Great Xia this time, which have been smelted and reforged, which is enough to replace the weapons for the border soldiers, and there are also surplus iron casting chains.

If this piece of wasteland can be reclaimed, the grain produced will be enough to feed the soldiers at the border gates, so that the corrupt officials in the imperial court will have less constraints on us. ”

Fu Zhongchang also very much agreed with Lian Shuangshuang's words, in fact, Fu Zhongchang didn't think about opening up the wasteland, but as Lian Shuangshuang said, the Flying Eagle Pass he was stationed in was very important.

Although Great Xia did not dare to attack the Flying Eagle Pass head-on, but not daring to attack did not mean that he did not dare to harass, and from time to time he came over to sneak attack and made people dare not relax, because once relaxed, the sneak attack and harassment would become a real attack.

Fu Zhongchang could only let his soldiers stay at the border day and night, where did he dare to free up manpower to open up wasteland and farm.

Now that there are a number of captives from Daxia to open up the wasteland, the little manpower to guard the captives is still free, in addition to farming, these captives can also learn to plant mulberry hemp, so that the problem of making clothes can be solved by themselves.

In the capital, Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Feng Chuyuan forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart, and made a calm look on her face, but secretly she wanted to crush her teeth, and the reason why she was so angry was the time-lapse live broadcast screen in front of her.

"Why do you suddenly want to come to the capital, I still want to see my family, now is the critical juncture of land reclamation, what are you doing here, I don't want to see beauties, I'm not such a superficial man."

"Although I am a person who looks at faces, I think I can temporarily sublimate my thoughts, I just want to see strong women in my career, I don't want to see the coquettish and rich flowers in the world."

"It's okay in the capital, why do you suddenly switch perspectives, I want to watch the border pass, protest to switch perspectives, the anchor quickly returns to the border pass, I don't know if Daxia will call, how will Shuangshuang deal with it."

"That's it, I want to watch Shuangshuang fight on the battlefield, build border passes, and train soldiers and horses, I don't want to watch beauties grooming and fighting in the back house, I want to watch Shuangshuang, don't look at Feng Chuyuan."

"It's not that we don't like Feng Chuyuan, it's mainly that Feng Chuyuan's vision and pattern are too small, and in the troubled times, he is still confined to the back house, and the so-called kindness can only be used to give porridge.

This kind of good deed is naturally worth advocating, but it can only solve the temporary food and clothing of such a small rub of people, and Princess Anping has done a big thing that can change hundreds of people.

Of course, I'm not despising Feng Chuyuan, in fact, I also admire Feng Chuyuan, being able to maintain a kind heart in such an era, not to oppress the weak, and it is not her fault that she is trapped in the back house, it is the fault of the times.

After all, there are few strange women like Princess Anping in ancient history, and women like Feng Chuyuan are the norm, but compared with Princess Anping, the gap is too big.

When we watch the live broadcast, we naturally like to watch better people, a woman like Feng Chuyuan can be called a very good woman with a good heart, but such a woman can be seen everywhere in ancient times, which is really not unusual. ”

Li Weilian, who was broadcasting live, was also helpless, he didn't expect that changing the camera would make everyone protest with him, but he couldn't help it, he still wanted to see Princess Anping more, but there was no way, the live broadcast was not allowed to follow only one person.

"Everyone, calm down, I know you want to see Princess Anping's heart, and I understand your thoughts, but what about it, our live broadcast is a historical live broadcast, not a separate live broadcast of historical celebrities.

According to the rules of historical live broadcast, all historical celebrities and major events of this era must be broadcast live, and Feng Chuyuan is the future queen, and Zhao Menghan will be a couple for her life.

This alone has made Feng Chuyuan famous in history, and many film and television works in later generations have taken her and Zhao Menghan as the protagonists, filming the eternal beautiful love between the emperor and the queen, and her lens must not be without. ”
