Gu Shao was slightly stunned, "But many people don't want to stay in the local area, they still want to go back to their hometown!" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and looked at Gu Shao, "Lord Gu, one place can't keep people, it's just that there is nothing here that is worthy of him to stay, or this place is not as good as his hometown." ”

"But if you can get more things here in Beiyun City than in your hometown, I believe that many people are willing to come over, and they can also move their families here."

Gu Shao was stunned for a moment, thought of the situation in Northwest City, and smiled, "You want to copy the situation in Northwest City?" ”

Gu Shao nodded, thinking deeply, "Yes, those who have military merits will give land, if they don't stay, it will be equivalent to giving up." Not only that, but also give a settlement fee, if the family is willing to move over, one person has ten acres of land, and the family will have hundreds of acres of land. ”

"Now we use the gravel soil to grow crops such as wheat and sugar beet, corn, etc., and the yield has increased a lot. Take wheat as an example, one acre of land is 500 catties, and one hundred acres of land is 50,000 catties. ”

Gu Shao didn't speak, and carefully considered, "A big family grows wheat on a hundred acres of land, and the family may not be able to be busy?" ”

Li Yuanqing added: "Now the sickle is sharper, and now there are craftsmen who are developing agricultural tools for harvesting wheat. ”

"In addition, wheat management is difficult, but sugar beet, corn and sweet potatoes, it is much simpler, and it can also increase breeding."

"All in all, I'm very optimistic about the development prospects here. In addition, I have sent a group of soldiers back to their hometown a few years ago. ”

"Give them travel expenses, let them move their homes over, these people all have dozens of acres of land, many have hundreds of acres, and after bringing their families to settle down, there will be more settlement fees and rewards."

"Lord Gu, instead of worrying about not being able to keep people here, it is better to think about how to accept so many people earlier."

Gu Shao smiled, and was actually mentioned by Li Yuanqing, who was good at fighting, and arched his hand, "Gu Mou knows, and he will definitely fully cooperate with Brother Li." ”

Li Yuanqing waved his hand, "I'm just talking on paper, and the specific things have to be decided by Lord Gu and Lord Yuan." ”

Gu Shao smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will definitely do my best." ”

As an official outside, this may be the opportunity.

After a few years, when he returns to the court, it is estimated that he will enter the cabinet and will never have the opportunity to be an official outside.

At noon, the ninth princess can eat oyster mushrooms, but she can't stand the taste of shiitake mushrooms and leeks, but Gu Shao likes to eat shiitake mushrooms.

Liu Pan'er changed her way to get delicious food for the ninth princess.

When there is delicious food, the ninth princess doesn't want to go to the capital anymore.

While Li Yuanqing, General Zhao and Gu Shao, as well as Lord Yuan, rectified important military and political affairs, a full 30,000 soldiers from other places returned to their hometowns one after another.

Nanhe Province is located in the plain, with the Yellow River passing through it, and the land is fertile. Historically, many dynasties have built their capitals here.

Although it is not Kyoto now, it is a fertile castle because of its large population.

It's just that after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years, the population increased, and Nanhe Province grew even more.

Wu Sanzhuang is a strong man in Wujia Village below Nanhe Mansion, because there are many brothers in the family, seven brothers and two sisters.

There was not enough to eat, and the imperial court had money and food for conscription, so Wu Sanzhuang packed up his package and volunteered to go to war.

Compared with starvation, it is better to die in battle, at least there is a pension, which can make the life of the parents better.

He was a soldier in Sangcheng, and he had 500 wen a month, and he was deducted 100 wen and 400 wen by the head above.

If you eat and wear 200 wen, you can save 200 wen.

Later, when General Li arrived, he confiscated and withheld military salaries, and from then on, he could get a salary of 500 yuan.

Because of his hard training, he was rewarded several times, ranging from one hundred to two taels of silver each time, and he saved a lot of silver.

Later, in the war, Wu Sanzhuang was the first to rush into Beiyun City, and he also cut ten Beirong soldiers.

In total, he received a reward of sixty taels of silver, and two hundred acres of land, and he was also promoted, and now he is a centurion.

When he came back this time, he wanted to take his family over and settle down, so he didn't crowd it here.

A family of more than a dozen people has only five acres of land. Although the tax is 20% in the big week, it is not enough for the family to eat.

If it weren't for the sweet potatoes promoted by Mrs. Drey, their family would have starved to death.

Even so, when the men of the Wu family are free, they still have to do odd jobs to subsidize the family.

After all, there are seven brothers, except for Wu Sanzhuang, who ran to become a soldier, the others have no courage, only the two brothers above have married daughters-in-law, and Wu Sizhuang to Wu Qizhuang below are all adults, but because the family is poor, they have not married a daughter-in-law.

Wu Dazhuang rode a horse, like an arrow.

Finally returned to his hometown.

"Grandpa, are you okay?" Wu Sanzhuang jumped down from his horse and saluted Old Lady Wu.

Old lady Wu has a very high seniority, and she is also the patriarch and village chief of Wujia Village, when she saw a black-faced man calling him grandfather, she didn't recognize it for a while, "You...... You are ......"

Wu Sanzhuang's voice was like a bell, "Grandpa, I'm Sanzhuang!" ”

When Old Lady Wu heard this, she squinted her eyes, trying to see more clearly, her appearance did look a little similar to Wu Lao Fu, "Ouch, it's really three strong." You're soaring! ”

Although Wu Sanzhuang was wearing civilian clothes, he was covered with a new cotton jacket, a new leather jacket, and a horse, which were all quite valuable things.

Wu Sanzhuang smiled, "It's not a flying Huang Tengda, it's just a promotion, and now he is a centurion, and there are hundreds of people under him." ”

"Grandpa, I won't tell you, I'll go home first, pack up, I'll go and say hello to you."

Old lady Wu was shocked, their Wu family ancestors were also wide, but that was two hundred years ago.

In recent decades, the biggest official has been the village chief.

Now I heard Wu Sanzhuang say this, I was very shocked, "Good boy, hurry up and go home to rest on such a cold day." Your father and mother are also worried about you. ”

Wu Sanzhuang led the horse and greeted him all the way, after being away from home for five years, many people have changed, but they can still vaguely see the previous appearance.

Wu Laofu was recovering from a serious illness, feeling sad, looking at the brazier in front of him, and feeling uncomfortable.

I originally wanted to say goodbye to the fourth child, but he got sick.

Asking the doctor to take medicine not only spent all the money he had saved up so hard, but also borrowed some money from the village.

Hey, I knew I was dead and pulled down, and I died.

Of course, Mrs. Wu knew what her husband was thinking, so she could only comfort, "Old man, if the child is filial, we will be blessed." Don't think so much, people are here, we can still make money. ”

Old man Wu sighed, "It is precisely because of the child's filial piety that I don't want to drag the child down." After spending so much money, it is estimated that it will take a year to pay it off. And the third child, there is a war in the north, and I don't know how? Whether it was life or death, there was no news. ”
