Chapter 113 Land

Zheng Qingluan slowly talked about his own affairs, very embarrassed, and then his voice changed, "Why do you say these things? "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|"

"This city, is it good?" Zheng Qingluan asked everyone such a sentence, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he asked himself, "Not good! It's really not good at all! The climate is harsh, and the people are fierce. It borders on foreign races, and there are often wars, and there is no peaceful life!" she looked solemn, "However, I want to say that the border city is very good for us soldiers!" Zheng Qingluan stood up, and his voice couldn't help but get louder, "Because it gives us people a place to stay! Because it gives us the opportunity to make meritorious contributions! Because here is our robes for life and death, brother!"

"Many of us have made our homes here, and we have left our youth and many young lives here. Those of us who are lucky enough to survive will stay here for the rest of our lives! Even our children and grandchildren will always be rooted here! We may have hometowns, and we may have relatives in our hometowns, but can we still go back? Is it still the hometown we remember?"

"The only thing we can defend is the border city! Only the border city is our eternal destination!"

The corridor on the third floor was crowded with people, all of whom had gathered after hearing Zheng Qingluan speak loudly! Some even wiped away tears! With no permanent property, where is their hometown?

Zheng Qingluan didn't care about the sadness that permeated the crowd, "Many of you want to start a family and settle down in this only place you are familiar with! But why can't it? Because as long as there is a way, they will not let their daughters suffer this and this sin! However, today I want to say that it will not be long before this place will become a paradise that many people flock to! You can also choose your daughter-in-law slowly!"

As soon as he finished saying this, the crowd exploded in an instant, and there is such a good thing?

Zheng Qingluan stretched out his hand and pressed it down, waiting for it to calm down, before he said, "Do you think I'm whimsical?" ”

"Hou Ye has been paying attention to the border city all these years! For the sake of Xiao Jiajun's brother, he has made a lot of efforts! What I am talking about below is all entrusted by Hou Ye to do things on his behalf!" Zheng Qingluan pushed everything to Xiao Yunfeng, so that it was justified, she couldn't come out of this.

"People, as long as they own land, they can live! Then why is it that no one wants the large tracts of land around the border cities? Isn't it suitable for farming? No! Wheat, buckwheat, corn, soybeans, sweet potatoes, these hardy crops can be cultivated! Is it because the land is barren? Even if the harvest is only half of that of a good field, we will not be at a loss! Don't forget, there is no tax on the land that belongs to the bordering land!" As soon as Zheng Qingluan's voice fell, the crowd immediately became agitated. For thousands of years, the Chinese's enthusiasm for land has never waned.

Zheng Qingluan looked at the big guy, waiting for everyone to digest the meaning of these words!

Out of the crowd was an older soldier, whose official position was very low, and Zheng Qingluan didn't see what his position was for a while. I saw him come forward and salute, "It's not easy for the brothers to save a few dollars, the city here is not in danger, who is still in the mood to farm!"

"I know what everyone is worried about!" Zheng Qingluan smiled, "The border city goes south, and the horse is fast for three days, and there are no people! What about us? We are hanging alone on the grassland! We don't even have a rear to provide support! Everyone wants to get married, they all want to have children, the border city is so big, what to raise?"

"That's why I said, to the south of the border city, you can open up the wasteland! Don't take a penny, divide it according to the head! There are no taxes, and all the seeds are provided by our Xiao Jiajun! In the future, if you have a family, we will make up for all the imports of Tianding! If you have a family and a room, you will have your own family to cultivate! If you are single, you can form a group by yourself! You can take turns or hire people! Just do as you like! As long as it doesn't affect your training! The detailed regulations will come out later!"

Everyone looked at each other and couldn't believe it! Is this true? This is equivalent to receiving an additional property in addition to receiving a salary in the army! Everyone kowtowed to the south to show their gratitude to Xiao Yunfeng!

Xiao Er and Xiao Wu glanced at each other, no one knew better than them, where was this Hou Ye's idea, it was clear that this female lady was good at making claims! But the more such propositions, the better! This is the so-called military heart!

I heard Zheng Qingluan's high-pitched voice, "To the north, there is the grassland." Then should we give up? Tartars can graze, don't we? You may not know, our beef and mutton here are more expensive the further south we go! Why don't we process this meat into jerky and exchange it for real money, grain, and cloth from the south? There is also wool, spun into thread, and woven into clothing, which is much more expensive than cotton! Even the goat's milk, which we hate all day long, is processed into milk powder, and I don't know how many people are rare! These are all treasures!"

"We have such wealth in our hands, and we are afraid that no one will come to settle in the border city! How many good girls are waiting to be your daughters-in-law! What are you afraid of!"

Zheng Qingluan blushed the hearts of a group of military men before announcing, "In three days, there will be a special person in charge of this matter! At the beginning of spring next year, everyone will have their own land!"

In the end, he concluded, "We don't toss, we don't make trouble, we do our duty! Defend the frontier for the imperial court and guard the homeland for our children and grandchildren!"

By the time Zheng Qingluan returned to the Shuai Mansion, it was already afternoon. Uncle Wu was waiting for her in the side hall.

"Did you really decide to do this?" there was no joy on Wubo's face.

Zheng Qingluan picked up the teapot on the table, poured a belly of tea, and said helplessly, "This is the best solution!"

"Although you said that you gave this piece to the Xiao family at the beginning, but now you are so tormented, are you not afraid of the taboo above?" Wubo's tone was a little helpless.

"Although I am a little suspicious by nature, as long as I can produce food, it doesn't matter who produces it! Xiao Jiajun's consumption is limited, and if there is more food, isn't it a matter of tossing and turning among the people?" Zheng Qingluan's tone was very disapproving.

"Before I arrived in the border city, I don't know how many people secretly wanted to see our jokes! Waiting for the Xiao family's army to fight among themselves! What's more, they secretly stirred up trouble and used the idea of competing with each other for the fisherman's profit! But our three generals, I don't know if they are really confused or fake smart, and they can't even do a face-saving job! If I deal with them now, regardless of victory or defeat, what will the soldiers below think? Oh! Your Xiao family is the master, and you don't care about it for more than ten years, and you will point fingers as soon as you show up! How many old people are left in the army now? The young man has not received the favor of the Xiao family, where is there any affection to speak of?"

"Since that's the case, then simply don't fight! The Xiao family has been absent for ten years, and now it's just a matter of making up for it! We don't want military power, we don't want command power, we only care about whether they are doing well or not! We are dedicated to working hard for the good they are doing! People's hearts are all flesh and blood, and we can naturally distinguish between good and bad! Doesn't it mean that 'goods must be thrown away'? Just let them weigh it themselves! Those three families dare not oppose such a thing, and they have no position to oppose it! Even if they show a little disapproval, the people below will be able to swallow them! Don't worry about it!"

"This not only won the hearts of the army, but also diverted contradictions and attention! Whoever dares to jump out and stir up trouble at this time will not only no one believe it, but will also expose himself! If there is really such a fool, then he will die! The Xiao Jiajun from today onwards, even if there are indeed other people's chess pieces, will not be of much effect! The generals are someone else's, but the soldiers' hearts are ours! If we use our people against us, we will not succeed!"

Zheng Qingluan had a confident smile on his face, "In less than two years, the border city will become an important town in the northwest! No one can shake it! This is the foundation of the Xiao family!"

"Looks like I'm old!" Wu Bo smiled with relief, and asked, "Is there any other reason besides?"

Zheng Qingluan's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, and she sighed, "Only in this way, with land and attracting population, can we solve the problem of the Xiao family's army from the root! We are no longer rootless trees!"

Wu Bo nodded, "Well done! Only when the frontier is in an emergency, will the imperial court allow us to recruit troops! If we continue like this, it will indeed be unsustainable! Now the people who come to join the army are people from all over the country who can't survive! It's not a long-term solution! Well done!" As he spoke, he stuffed a metal box into Zheng Qingluan's hand, and then turned around and went out! The back looked relaxed and upright, and there was no sign of old age.

Zheng Qingluan drank a cup of tea, then got up and went to the inner courtyard, sent away the people who were waiting, and opened the box to see that it was actually the blueprint of the underground passage of the Shuaifu and even the border city! It was densely packed and criss-crossed, and it was simply an underground city! With such a large scale, I don't know how many generations of effort it would take! She solemnly put away the thin silk and stuffed it into the secret compartment of the bracelet.

At this time, the whole border city was boiling! Everywhere there were fanatical sergeants.

Li Zhiqian's face became more and more solemn as he listened to his son's story! Objectively speaking, this was really a bold and good idea! All of a sudden, the three of them were put in a dilemma!

Oppose! Definitely not! Cut off people's financial routes, such as killing their parents, and the people below can tear them apart.

In the eyes of the people below, it doesn't mean to hand over power! Even if you don't let go, how much practical significance does it have? What is the desire of the people!

Li Zhiqian suddenly gave birth to a mentality, no wonder people are the masters!

Li Xinning asked uncertainly, "Is this what the master means, or does this master mean?"

"Hehehe-" Li Zhiqian smiled obscurely, "Is there any difference? If it is the master's intention, this proves that our master's master is really powerful, strategizing, and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away! If the master's intention, it will be even more amazing! If such a powerful woman can be willing to hide behind the scenes, then his ability can only be taken to the next level!"
