Dr. Ye is gone.

Ye Mengqiu also left together.

Qingyang is not sad, there is a little red bird as a messenger, and it is no problem to send messages several times a day.

Uncle Bingxin also made a farewell to the Qing clan, and Zhongxingshuo's deeds were extremely bad, and he wanted to return to the national capital as soon as possible and meet Xing Hou to make a statement in person.

Doctor Fei, Su Kuo, and hundreds of private soldiers from the two families were also escorted away by the Xuanjia Cavalry, and of course, the three Black Wind priests were also indispensable.

Seeing off all the guests, Qingyang finally had time to rectify the internal affairs of the Qing clan.

With the order issued, inside and outside the Qing clan's fiefdom, many retainers gathered, and even Lie Muyang, who was stationed in Queshan, was picked up by He Qianxue.

The main hall of the Qing clan, which was already small, became extremely crowded after dozens of retainers poured in, but it also made everyone feel the strength of the Qing clan.

The two old gentlemen, Gale and Hua Gongye, arched their hands with smiles on their faces and said: "Lord, the school has been built, seventy-two school houses, one hundred and twenty dormitories, furniture, tables and chairs are all available!"

"The two uncles have been thoughtful and have worked hard!"

Qingyang nodded and smiled, which immediately caused the retainers to rush to report.

He has been missing for more than two months, and everyone has a happy event to let the lord know.

"Lord, in the past two months, the subordinates have continued to hunt, and have successively captured more than 20,000 large and small livestock, including 5,600 cattle and horses~"

"My lord, there are more than 40,000 people around Shiozawa, and now they all live in sheds~"

"My lord, the puppet beast department is well arranged, and no one has found out~"

Even the always timid Pulin, Guihe, and Wenbo, these three peasant retainers also squeezed up, and said with a happy face: "Lord, the soil on both sides of Hanxi is fertile, and we have reclaimed 2,000 acres of well fields~"

"Yes, it's all good!"

Qingyang kept smiling on his face, affirming everyone's achievements and making the retainers happy.

In the two months that he was away, although the Qing clan had Ye Mengqiu in command, the progress made by the retainers was still worth rejoicing.

After thinking about it carefully, Qingyang couldn't help but shake his head, and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to silence.

The lord had something to say, and the retainers took their places.

At the top of the right side are Zhong Bo, Red Ghost Xin Yi, Lie Muyang, Xiong Xin, Lu Zhonglin, Niu Ben, these martial arts retainers, all of whom are above the strength of the sixth-rank Shangjia soldiers.

On the left are Qiu Niang, Gale Wind, Hua Gongye, Huya, Shui Yingyue, and Red Ghost Bing, who are in charge of internal affairs, or retainers who are born in Shuxiu.

At first glance, it is also both civil and military, which can be regarded as a preliminary establishment of the Qing system.

"Since you joined the Qing Clan, you have been diligent and commendable, but you have not done one of the most important things. ”

Everyone in the hall was listening, and Qingyang said slowly, "Qiu Niang, please discuss with Uncle Zhong and try to buy 100,000 pieces of cloth before the year." ”

"Ahh

Dozens of retainers in the hall were stunned, buying cloth had become the most important thing, and they had to buy 100,000 horses in one go.

"Lord, isn't this a bit of a waste?"

Qiu Niang hesitated, "The knife coins at home can only buy a thousand pieces of cloth, even if there are enough knife coins, there are no 100,000 pieces of cloth in the cities of Northern Xinjiang combined?"

Zhong Bo was also puzzled: "Lord, why do you want to buy 100,000 pieces of cloth at once?"

"When I buy cloth, I naturally want to make new clothes for the New Year for the people!"

Qingyang replied with a smile, which made the retainers even more puzzled.

Hua Gongye arched his hand and said: "The lord is kind from the bottom of his heart, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, he wants to buy new clothes for all the subordinates, and we are also grateful."

However, the number of 100,000 pieces of cloth is too much, and it is concentrated in the purchase of the year before the year, which will inevitably cost nearly half of the money, so it is better to buy one or two hundred thousand pieces of cloth after the year, and it is enough for each member to have a new coat. ”

"Yes, my lord, I was born in the Great Wilderness, and I slept in the open air, when did I pay attention to my clothes?

Seeing the retainers gossiping, Qingyang shook his head and smiled.

He stood up and said loudly: "After the first battle of Queshan, tens of thousands of people were attached, but in my opinion, they are not really Qing clan leaders. ”

This sentence made the retainers' faces solemn, but Qingyang didn't care.

He continued to say loudly: "What is the real Qing clan leader? Naturally, you have to wear Xingren costumes, write Xingren characters, and use Xingren etiquette.

However, as many as tens of thousands of people, who still maintain the customs of the wild people, how can they be thoroughly educated? Who can teach them etiquette in a day?

Overnight, they can understand the written word? Overnight, they will understand the laws of the Xingguo Kingdom, and the many precepts and prohibitions? No one can do any of this!"

Hearing this, the retainers still looked solemn, but they understood that Qingyang did not dislike these subordinates.

Gale looked thoughtful, raised his head and said softly: "Lord, could it be that you buy cloth to change the style of these tens of thousands of people first?"

"Yes, Uncle Gale is right!"

Qingyang nodded appreciatively to him, and said loudly to the retainers, "It is a long process to completely naturalize tens of thousands of people.

After all, tens of thousands of people have survived in the Great Wilderness for decades, and their past living habits have long been ingrained, and we don't have so much time to teach them slowly.

We can only completely change their clothing and clothing from the outside in, and then change their living environment and living habits, and teach them to farm and graze.

Learn a new way of life, let tens of thousands of people be fed and clothed, know etiquette and know honor and disgrace with enough food and clothing, and finally become a qualified Qing clan leader!"

Hearing Qingyang's explanation, dozens of retainers such as Hua Gongye and Gale Feng all got up and said, "The lord is very far away, but we are shallow. ”

Qiu Niang also smiled: "If it is 100,000 pieces of cloth, everyone can make two sets of clothes in spring, summer, autumn and winter, which is new inside and out, and it can be regarded as a new atmosphere for the new year." ”

"That's nature!"

Qingyang said with a smile, "Seeing that there are still eighteen days before the New Year, it is just in the name of the New Year to send new cloth and silk clothes, so that the subordinates can start to experience the festival first." ”

All the retainers nodded their heads again and again, and had to admit that this entry point was very good.

Let the wild people, who have always been unrestrained, like the festivals of Xingguo first, so as to induce them to take the initiative to learn the customs and habits of Xingguo people.

However, as soon as she thought of the money in the fiefdom, Qiu Niang couldn't help but frown: "The lord's plan is very good, but there are not enough knife coins at home~"

"I'm not afraid of this!"

But Zhong Bo spoke, he patted his chest and said, "Lord Longque hunted two saber-toothed elephants two years ago, and now there are three saber-toothed tusks.

I'll take everyone to work hard, sharpen them into weapons, and even take out the whole root and sell it, which should be able to exchange for tens of thousands of pieces of cloth, and if the rest is not enough, I will collect the bones of the strange beasts in the sealed soil and sell them. ”

Originally, the bones of these alien beasts were planned to be processed into weapons and equipped for the Qing clan's private soldiers, but in order to complete Qingyang's mission, Zhong Bo felt that everything was worth it.

However, Qingyang shook his head with a smile and said, "Uncle Zhong, where do you need such trouble?

He immediately took out a handful of things from his bosom and put them into a beast bone plate.

Dozens of retainers' eyes widened suddenly, and they couldn't help but take a breath of cold air and said, "Spars!" (To be continued.) )
