Now that the matter here has been dealt with, Yu Wenze naturally thinks that the sooner he returns to Yandi, the better, after all, there are many government affairs in the fiefdom that have to be dealt with.

There was no need to ask someone to go back to pass the word, so he got up directly and went to the Jiahe Hall where Zhang Xiaoxue was.

"Sister Xiaoxue, your business is done, and I don't have anything to do here, so let's leave for Yandi immediately." ”

Yu Wenze's words just matched Zhang Xiaoxue's intentions.

"Okay, let's go pick up the slaves and send you home first, and then I'll return to my house from the county town." ”

"Oh, I forgot about the slaves, let's just take the slaves in your name, I also confessed five hundred slaves here this time.

There are too many people, but I can't trouble Sister Xiaoxue to help bring them back to the county together.

Later, I will go to my father, the king, and ask him to send a team of soldiers to help escort the five hundred slaves to the county town. ”

Not to mention that Yu Wenze forgot that he also recognized a lot of slaves here, Zhang Xiaoxue also forgot about this stubble.

There were too many people, and with the capacity of her RV, it really couldn't carry nearly six hundred people at a time.

"Why don't you make a few more trips back and forth in the RV and help you bring the slaves back?"

It would take months for so many of them to walk slowly to the county seat, right?"

Zhang Xiaoxue thought to herself, anyway, at the speed of the RV, even if it is a few more trips back and forth, it won't take much time, and it's not too troublesome.

After all, it was just a group of slaves, and it was definitely impossible to send a huge convoy to escort them, and the most likely thing was to let those slaves go to the county town on foot, so he opened his mouth and suggested.

"Don't bother Sister Xiaoxue anymore, these slaves are not in my plan in the first place, so I don't need to let them rush to the county seat. ”

Speaking of the slaves, Yu Wenze thought about it in his heart, where to go and arrange for them to go back.

I suddenly remembered that the slaves in Zhang Xiaoxue's family were used to reclaim wasteland and grow crops very well.

I thought of the idea I had at that time when I saw the 100 acres of wasteland in Zhang Xiaoxue's house, where the crops grew lush and prosperous.

couldn't help but share the thoughts in my heart with Zhang Xiaoxue.

"When these slaves arrived in the county, I thought I would arrange for them all to go to the border to cultivate the land.

When I saw the 100 acres of wasteland in your house turned into a green crop, I had the idea of reclaiming more wasteland on the border where the army was stationed.

Thinking that when the time comes, you will plant high-yield potatoes and corn, even if it is not as high as the yield of the crops planted by your family, Sister Xiaoxue, it will not be so low.

It just so happened that I didn't think of any other use for these slaves, so I let them go to the border to farm.

If my idea succeeds, I will send more slaves to the border to clear the land in the future.

After all, there is a large area of land on the other side of the border, all of which is barren, not to mention all the wasteland, only a small part of it has been reclaimed and planted for crops, and the grain output that year will definitely increase a lot.

There are also military patrols over there, so there is no need to worry about security, and all the reclaimed wasteland is classified as military land, so that the soldiers who are not trained in peacetime can take more care of it.

When the crops grown in the reclaimed wasteland are harvested, they can be supplied directly to the army on the other side of the border, so that some of the transportation costs of grain and grass can be saved.

If more and more wasteland is cultivated, the grain produced can not only supply the troops on the border, but if there is a surplus, it can be sold back into the interior.

If the money used to sell grain is used to purchase military supplies and arm the army, it will not only save a lot of military expenditure every year, but also enhance the strength of the army.

Even if it's not as good as I imagined, it's good to be able to replenish some of the army's food and grass, and I don't think I'll do useless work. ”

Yu Wenze and Zhang Xiaoxue talked about the usefulness of these five hundred slaves, and then talked about his plans more.

The source of all this is thanks to the high-yield crop seeds provided by Sister Xiaoxue.

"Brother Ze, you want to open up wasteland on the other side of the border, and then classify all the wasteland as military land, which is a good idea.

On the other side of the border, I thought that as long as it was not saline-alkali land, it would not be able to grow plants, and if I wanted to plant it with the grain seeds that my master had taken out, I would definitely be able to produce food.

I will definitely support you, when the time comes, how many crop seeds planted in the wasteland will be needed, Brother Ze will tell me the number, and I will send it to you directly at that time.

The yield of such crops must not be much different from that of my family's wasteland. ”

Zhang Xiaoxue can be said to be wealthy now, and there is no farm arrears on her, and her tone of voice is full of confidence, without stumbling at all.

It's just some ordinary potatoes and corn seeds planted on the wasteland, because they are relatively low-grade crops on the farm, and the seeds used in one acre of land are only a dozen gold coins.

Even if you need to take it out, you have to deduct the same amount of gold coins again, it won't take much, for Zhang Xiaoxue, it is really easy and stress-free.

Like this, you need to spend gold coins to buy seeds from the farm store, and it doesn't cost much gold coins, Zhang Xiaoxue won't feel distressed now.

"Great, I didn't expect Sister Xiaoxue to be able to provide potato seeds, so I really want to trouble Sister Xiaoxue again.

The money for potato seeds, when the time comes, will be calculated according to the price of the potato seeds that your family sold to the villagers some time ago, Sister Xiaoxue, you think it's good. ”

Yu Wenze heard that Zhang Xiaoxue could still provide the seeds she took from her master, so she naturally couldn't say no.

Of course, the potato seeds needed this time are not one or two acres, and this cheap can't take advantage of Sister Xiaoxue's in vain, so it is natural to pay the price of the seeds.

"Hehe, Brother Naze, let's settle it. ”

Yu Wenze wants to pay her the money for potato seeds, which will not only not suffer any loss for Zhang Xiaoxue, but also make a sum of money.

"By the way, Brother Ze, I don't think you should refuse me to help you run back and forth a few times, let's send the slaves directly to the border.

Let them directly reclaim some wasteland first, and take advantage of the current season to plant some potatoes quickly, and think that they can harvest a season of grain before the frost.

If they had waited for them to slowly walk to the county town, and then go to the border to clear the wasteland, it would have been a few months.

According to the growth of the potatoes, if the wasteland is reclaimed and planted now, it is estimated that they will be almost ripe by the time they walk to the border.

And if you want to see output on the wasteland, I'm afraid you will have to wait until next year, which is a big delay. ”
