As soon as the money and grain arrived, Li Yu was full of confidence, and the next day asked Zhou Kuan to issue the Nanyang National Reclamation Order and the Ripe Land Taxation Order.

This reclamation order instantly ignited the entire Dengzhou, and many local officials were dumbfounded, because the poor households in their prefectures and counties were moved.

Some people who had a difficult life in the county began to drag their families to Nanyang.

Not only Dengzhou, but also nearby Tangzhou and Xiangzhou have successively migrated to Nanyang.

This policy is good, three years of rent and tax exemption, where to find this good thing?

Now that there is war raging, who knows what it will be like in three years? Let's live the days in front of us first!

In particular, at the same time as the reclamation order was issued, the tax order for cooked land was also issued.

At present, the ripe fields, whether public or private, must be re-measured and registered, and they will be charged at 20 taxes per day.

Now, the whole Nanyang can be fried.

Landless peasants with good household registration, they rent the fields of wealthy families, and the land rent they pay is already very heavy, and the state government levies taxes again, they not only work in vain a year, but also have to build two, who does this?

Look at the reclamation order, tax exemption for three years!

So what are you waiting for?

Let's go open up the wasteland too!

The government is now so busy that it hits the back of the head.

More and more displaced people came to Nanyang from various channels, and dozens of families reported to the pro-kingdom mansion every day.

Zhou Kuan and Gao Shi instructed the officials to register and issue identity cards to these displaced people, arrange their food and lodging, and demarcate wasteland for them.

Fortunately, the land of the big households in Nanyang is concentrated around the city, and there are large areas of unowned wasteland.

According to the order of first come, first served, every 100 households are concentrated in one place, and a village tun is established, houses are built, and a village head is appointed.

The city's blacksmith shops are busy day and night, building ploughshares, agricultural tools.

On this day, at the reception point of the homeless, Zhou Kuan was busy receiving the homeless, and the instructor registered and issued licenses, when someone suddenly called him.

"Cousin, cousin!"

Zhou Kuan raised his head and shouted, who is this?

Two little ladies with pear blossoms and rain, with dirty clothes and messy hair, if it weren't for the appearance of the two of them, he would not dare to recognize each other.

"Cousin, I'm Bi Niang! Wow~Woooo~~"

Bi Niang pulled Zhou Kuan's sleeve and cried loudly, and the embroidery girl on the side also wiped her tears.

"Bi Niang? Embroidered girl! How did you guys get here? This, what's going on?! ”

Gao Shi next to him listened, aren't these the two future princesses of King De?! He was taken aback, these two were also his masters.

When Zhao Jieshuai said kiss that day, he was also beside him, but he heard the names of the two princesses in the future, although Zhou Kuan and the two little girls were deliberately lowered when they spoke, but he still paid attention to it.

"Yo, two ladies, what's going on?"

"Ahem, this is Lord Peng Gao of King De's Mansion, this is my cousin."

How dare Zhou Kuan say that this is the princess, after all, the emperor's edict on marriage has not yet come down.

"Tall, sir."

The two little ladies gave Gao Shi a gift.

Gao Shi could only pretend to be confused, since Zhou Kuan said that he was his cousin, he was his cousin, but he couldn't pretend to be a salute to him.

"Oh, don't dare, don't dare!"

How dare Gao Shi let the princess salute him, and hurriedly flashed to the side.

Zhou Kuan pulled the two cousins out of a distance, and then asked eagerly, "What's the matter?" Could it be that something happened in Xiangyang?! ”

In Zhou Kuan's mind, if it wasn't for the broken city of Xiangyang, could the two princesses come here? It must have been a great calamity, so he ran to her husband's house.

"Oh, cousin, what do you say?! What a big difficulty, no! Here's the thing......"

Bi Niangren has a quick mouth, and she tells the ins and outs of the matter in a chattering voice.

"What! You two are evil! You're running happily, how anxious are the festival marshal and the assassin Shi! How many days have you been running out? ”

"Five, five days!"

Bi Niang and Xiu Niang also knew that they were in trouble, so they bowed their heads and remained silent.

"Go, come home with me."

Zhou Kuan's family had already moved to Nanyang, not far from here.

These two little ancestors haven't married yet, so they're running around, if King De knows about it, then it's worth it?!

He took his two little ladies home and washed up.

Gao Shi saw them leaving, and ran to the palace after a few words, how could he dare to hide such a big thing?

"Gao Fupeng, is there something wrong with me?"

"Your Highness, the princess is here!"

"Uh, huh? What princess? ”

Li Yu was confused by what Gao Shi said.

"It's your princess, the daughter of Zhao Jieshuai and Zhao Tingshi."

"Huh? Where is it? ”

Li Yuluo stood up suddenly.

These two are his fiancées, they are here, can they not pick them up?

Ay? No, isn't it that they haven't come to point to the marriage edict yet, why are they here?!

"Uh, I was taken home by Zhou Changshi."

"Oh."

As soon as Li Yu heard that he was taken back by his eldest brother, this was not necessarily looking for him, maybe he was looking for Zhou Kuan.

You say you don't know, forget it, but you know that your daughter-in-law is coming, and you can't go to see it, which makes me feel a little troublesome.

"Ahem, you two...... Princess...... How's it looking? ”

He also asked Gao Shi seriously.

"This ...... It's a bit ......."

Gao Shi didn't know what to say.

said that the appearance is lovely, but it is obviously sloppy, and it is said that it is ugly, but the temperament is extraordinary.

"What? You didn't see it? ”

"Look, I see."

"What does that look like?"

"Uh, no, I didn't see it too clearly......"

Gao Shiben is a very capable person, look at the person who forced him, he is incoherent.

“……”

Li Yu stared at Gao Shi for a long time and waved his hand.

"Well, I see, you go get busy."

Gao Shi was pardoned, turned and exited the hall.

The eight beauties in the backyard are all walking back and forth in the courtyard, but they can't get to the lobby of the front hall.

It has been more than 20 days in Nanyang, King De has been resting in the study, although the eight women belong to two camps, they have already reached an agreement, and they are advancing and retreating together in listening to the news.

Recently, Li Yu and his subordinates have been busy going in and out, and they have no time to take care of them, and these women are in a hurry.

I wanted to run out to listen to the news, but I was stopped by the palace guards, and I was not even allowed to enter the front yard, under the pretext that there were bandits in Nanyang, His Royal Highness had an order, and without his permission, the beauties were not allowed to leave the palace, so as not to be safe, and the front yard no longer belonged to the palace, it was the national government.

It is equivalent to putting these spy eyeliners under house arrest.

I haven't heard any useful news, how can I explain it to that side?

Li Yu has been a little scratchy these days, every time he discusses things with Zhou Kuan, as long as he mentions the two princesses, Zhou Kuan will talk about him left and right, but he doesn't mention this stubble.

Zhou Kuan's heart was also up and down.

Since he became the governor of the palace and the decree of the national government, he has been doing a good job with all his heart. Through King De's words and deeds, he knew that he was a good prince with achievements, and he could be regarded as having found the master. For the public, he is assisting the royal vassal king to lay a foundation, for private purposes, he is to build a family business for his sister, can he not be unsatisfied!

But these two unconscious sisters secretly ran out and stayed outside the city overnight, if this was known by King De, what if they divorced? Aren't your ideals all over?!

On the same day, he wrote a letter to bring the news of his two younger sisters in Nanyang to Xiangyang.

In the past few days, Xiangyang City has been in chaos.

The two young ladies are lost, Zhao Kuang is anxious, and the maids and servants are beaten one by one, you can't even look at yourself, what's the use of leaving you!

If it weren't for Madame's obstruction, these people would have fallen to the ground!

The soldiers and horses of Xiangyang City searched the whole city, making chickens and dogs jump, but they captured a group of ruffians and hooligans.

These people have all suffered from crimes, one by one, beaten to the point that their skin is open, and they cry for their father and mother.

Three days later, Zhao Kuangming came back from transporting grain, and he almost fainted when he knew that his baby daughter was lost.

The scope of the search was not limited to Xiangzhou, but also nearby Suizhou and Shaanzhou, Jingzhou, and Yingzhou in the south.

Just when Jiedu made the chickens and dogs jump, a letter came, and the two aunts and grandmothers secretly ran to Nanyang.

At this time, Zhao Kuangning and Zhao Kuangming finally let their hearts go.

Now that they had their whereabouts, they hurriedly took back all the soldiers and horses that had been scattered, so as not to let the king know that the news would affect the marriage.

But they don't want to think about it, after making such a big move, who doesn't know that Miss is lost?

And they pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Zhao Kuangming hurriedly opened Luo and ploughed the cow, and first blocked his son-in-law's mouth.

At the end of March, the first batch of 500 ploughing cattle from Xiangyang arrived at Nanyang Wharf.

Seeing the mooing cattle on the dock and smelling the smell of fresh cow dung, the homeless people who had just arrived in Nanyang with sad faces finally showed a smile.

The reclamation order of the Dewang Mansion is true, and it really didn't lie to us!

The two little ladies were also secretly taken on the boat by Zhao Kuangming.

……

As we enter April, the spring breeze blows, the snow melts completely, and the weather warms day by day.

There are more and more displaced people coming to Nanyang, and there are more than 100 households every day.

Along both sides of the river, new villages have sprung up, and waterwheels have been installed step by step.

Within 10 miles of the river are irrigated paddy fields, and 10 miles away are dry fields.

The paddy fields along the river have been turned over and irrigated piece by piece, and the sun is enough, so the water temperature is raised first.

The oxen trampled on each other in the watered fields, trampling the large clods into small pieces, and the whole family also helped in the fields.

On April 15, the sowing began.

At this time, there is no talk of raising seedlings, and they are all directly sowing seeds.

Wait until the seedlings are three inches tall before irrigating them again, but not beyond the core of the seedlings.

In more than a month, the number of immigrants to Nanyang increased by 1,300 households, all of which were arranged on both sides of the river, and a large number of the original residents of Nanyang also participated in the reclamation, especially the former hidden households, who ran out to re-register their household registration, and the government also handled the reclamation procedures for them.

Those big families are blind now.

A large number of tenants ran to open up wasteland, so many good paddy fields to be abandoned, not only is it a pity, but the important thing is that the government also has to collect taxes, this, what can I do?!

Now sell these fields, to whom?

They also had to change their strategy.

One is to reduce the land rent directly to 55.

Two one, secretly find a way to sell land.

But the current situation in Nanyang is that the land has become more and is worthless.

This reclamation order has been spread to all directions, beyond the limits of administrative divisions.

As soon as April began, as many as 200 displaced households came to register every day.

These later displaced people were all arranged to be placed on dry land, and the dry land was cultivated first, as long as it was too late to plant corn before June.

In order to block Li Yu's mouth, the Zhao brothers transported another thousand ploughing cattle in a row, and now the number of ploughing cattle in the entire Nanyang is as high as 1,800.

1,500 heads were transported from Xiangzhou, and Nanyang originally had 300 head of cultivated cattle, which were still owned by large families in Nanyang.

"Gao Fu Peng, how many fields have we opened now?"

"Your Highness, 42,000 acres of newly opened paddy fields and 20,000 acres of dry fields are still growing."

"Well, the results are good, and we have to keep up the good work."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Just when the whole of Nanyang was busy with spring ploughing and the reclamation of the displaced people, the scouts under Fang Liang rushed into the national capital.

"Report to the lord, the silver sand thief is here!"
