On the second day of the second month of February, at noon, Zhuang Shaoyou returned to Qiqi County with the cavalry.

As soon as Zhuang Shaoyou stepped into the gate of the county government, he met a large group of people, Guo Yuan and Wu Liang all surrounded him, and Mo Shi and Mo Mei were watching him from the side.

Zhuang Shaoyou has a big head, he has only been out for ten days, there are so many things, calm down, and say to Guoyuan first:

"Mr. Guo, what's the urgency?"

Guo Yuan stepped forward and said seriously: "General, there is a matter about spring ploughing next month that needs the general to get an idea.

A few days ago, several large landowners in the county town came to me, saying that they wanted to go to the northeast forty to reclaim Xintian when the spring was in full swing, where the rivers were longitudinal and horizontal, there were many lakes, the land was fertile, and the precipitation was abundant, which was a treasure land for grain production.

It originally belonged to Beifeng County, and in recent years, Goguryeo often invaded the territory and often went there to loot, so the people fled one after another, and tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land were barren like this, which is really a tyrannical thing! ”

Zhuang Shaoyou sighed slightly: "If you can really reclaim 10,000 acres of fertile land, it will also be a good thing, but I don't know what they need us to do when they come to you?" ”

Guo Yuanyi hesitated and said: "General, although these fields are uncultivated, they still belong to Beifeng County after all, if Liaodong County sends troops to crusade in a few months, how can we keep it?"

And if Goguryeo comes back to the side, how will we deal with it? Those landlords were worried that they had made wedding clothes for others, so they wanted to consult the general. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou smiled and said, "I don't know what Mr. Guo thinks about this matter?" ”

Guo Yuan paused and said, "General, I think there are three difficulties in this matter:

First, we are now outnumbered, and both Liaodong County and Goguryeo can easily crush us

Second, the county is too sparsely populated to reclaim so much wasteland

Third, the reclamation of wasteland requires a lot of input and cattle

Each of these three questions is extremely intractable. ”

After Zhuang Shaoyou listened, he nodded slightly, and Guoyuan directly pointed out the key to the problem, all three problems must be solved in order to carry out reclamation smoothly.

The first military problem is something that must be faced, and the situation is changing rapidly, so at present we can only strive to improve our own combat effectiveness and intelligence work, and the rest will have to wait for the other side to make a specific analysis of the specific problem when it comes to attack.

The second problem of sparse population is really not easy to solve, and it is impossible to get more people in a short period of time.

As for the third question, plough the cattle and go to the grassland to buy cattle and come back? Time is a little tight! And there is not so much money, and the distance is long, and safety cannot be guaranteed, which is not feasible.

Zhuang Shaoyou thought about it for a long time, but he didn't have a good idea, then Mo Shi stepped forward with a smile and said: "Brother Zhuang rest assured, my Mo family has lived in seclusion for hundreds of years, and I naturally have some experience in farming. Guaranteed to let you use one cow on top of three cows! ”

As soon as people are happy, their spirits will be uplifted, Zhuang Shaoyou is now, this excitement, his brain is also a lot more flexible, and he said to Wu Liang:

"Brother Decai, how is the intelligence work going? I have something for you to do! ”

Wu Liang hurriedly saluted and said: "The subordinates are trying to report this matter to the general, and after the year, the subordinates have frequent contact with the past merchants, and finally bought the way and planted a seed in Xiangping City. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou walked up to Wu Liang and whispered a lot of words, and after speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Zhuang Shaoyou discussed with Guoyuan for a while, and Guoyuan also happily went to do something.

Zhuang Shaoyou turned his head to look at Moshi and asked, "Brother Mo, please forgive me, I was busy with some business just now, so I made Brother Mo wait for a long time!" I wonder if Brother Mo is here? ”

Mo Shi smiled and said: "I didn't expect the general to not only be good at fighting, but also to deal with internal affairs, so these headaches will be solved immediately when they encounter the general!"

I came here to tell Brother Zhuang that it snowed heavily a few days ago, and the relocation matter was delayed, but now it has started again, and the 2,000 residents of Mojia Island will move in one after another.

I heard just now that Brother Zhuang planned to reclaim fertile land in the northeast, I don't know if I can give some to the Mo family, just from the Great Black Mountain to the northeast is closer. ”

Zhuang Shaoyou said with a smile: "This is finally the next wish!" It's easy to talk about the reclamation of new fields! I'm worried that I don't have enough manpower to reclaim it, and I can't ask for help from the Mo family!

I will let Guoyuan carve out a thousand hectares of fertile land there for the Mo family, Brother Mo can rest assured!

It's just that the gold millet that I ate in Mo's house last time, can Brother Mo try to plant it in Xintian, try to plant as much as possible, if the harvest is really good, it will be promoted in the county next year! ”

"Brother Zhuang, it is best to start planting the golden millet in late spring and early summer, and the sun is abundant to grow well, I think it will start planting in early May, let's do a good job of spring ploughing in March first!" I will do it when the time comes, Brother Zhuang can rest assured! Brother Zhuang, you should be busy first, and retire next! ”

Everyone is gone, Zhuang Shaoyou looked at Mo Mei, a little embarrassed, he was busy just now and didn't even say hello to her, would she be angry?

Just when Zhuang Shaoyou was a little at a loss, Mo Mei spoke first:

"Brother Shaoyou, you won't take me to fight, people are so worried, they can't eat or sleep well."

When Zhuang Shaoyou heard this, his heart melted, this little beauty was really exciting, and he couldn't help but show a pig brother again:

"Sister Momei, my brother slept well with you in his arms tonight, and I promise you to sleep soundly!"

Mo Mei looked at his appearance, and immediately understood that this guy's filthy thoughts began to flood again, gave him a blank look, and said, "Don't do it!" If you dare to do anything to someone, you are a beast! ”

"Ugh! ~All right! If you don't move, you don't move. Zhuang Shaoyou was defeated by Mo Mei again, but he was not discouraged, it didn't matter! Where there's a will there's a way! Hard work pays off!

Thinking of this, I cheered up and stepped forward to hug and hug, and took the opportunity to take advantage of it.

The next day, the infantry that followed also returned to the county seat. Zhuang Shaoyou thought about it, these nearly 200 captives are a trouble! Kill it, you can't do this kind of thing, keep it, how much food do you have to waste?

Grain? Well! Zhuang Shaoyou had an idea and called Qin Ling: "Qin Ling, you divide those prisoners into three battalions equally, leave a hundred cavalry in the county seat, and then you all go to Tuntian in the northeast for Lao Kai!" Mr. Guo will tell you specific things, and you just do it! ”

Qin Ling heard that he was assigned new recruits at the beginning, so it's okay now, he will go and pick up the good ones first!

Before he had time to blossom, he heard the following earth-shattering thunderbolt and couldn't help but say:

"What! Let's go farming? General, aren't we training then? ”

Zhuang Shaoyou glanced at him obliquely: "Qin Ling, you have all practiced for two months, it is enough, all that remains is to let those chicks go to the battlefield to see blood and open the light, why are you reacting so much?"

Originally, General Ben thought that you were newly married and didn't want you to go, but General Ben found that you have been talking a lot of nonsense lately, your mind is not so flexible, and you are not walking very neatly, is it overindulgent?

Therefore, this general will appoint you as the tuntian envoy of Tuntian, and be fully responsible for the reclamation of wasteland, by the way, strengthen your physique, hurry up and prepare! Depart in three days! ”

When Qin Ling heard this, he felt cold in his heart, what kind of mouth did he have, this is good, he is going to the northeast to reclaim the wasteland, but he just got married!

Not to mention, it seems that I have always been a little unable to keep up my spirits lately, is it really as the general said that I have overindulged? But Apricot always says I'm so good?

Forget it, the general may be right, and you will have to be a little more restrained in the future.

Qin Ling walked out of the county office dejectedly, and saw Zhuang Shaoyou laugh for a while, but he was a little jealous.

You said that this Qinling and Xing'er have known each other for a few days! That is, the hero of Liujiazhuang saved the beauty once, and Xing'er fell in love with him? Can't you? Could it be that the Qinling Overlord has made a bow? It's not like it, but it seems like I'm happy to look at the apricots, right?

If you want to say that a hero saves beauty, she has saved Mo Mei twice, but why doesn't she plan to make a promise? It's infuriating!

After Qin Ling left, Zhuang Shaoyou went to Guo Yuan again and told him about Ling Luoyu in Beifeng County, Guo Yuan was shocked when he heard it, and immediately scolded, saying that Luo Yu is a good official and serves the people wholeheartedly!

Zhuang Shaoyou was a little depressed, that stupid Luo Yu was like an idiot, bringing so many people to death, and he didn't directly chop him to give face, is this called smelly alike? A routine with Guoyuan? Well! It seems to be right, they are all black and thin, and they are as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit!

Listening to Guoyuan's count, Zhuang Shaoyou was upset for a while, but his eyes rolled and said: "Mr. Guo, Na Luo Yu refuses to surrender, so he still needs Mr. Guo to do the work, I give him the same conditions as Mr., there is no need to take refuge in me, just go and do things for the people!"

In addition, I asked Qin Ling to take three battalions of soldiers with a total of 1,500 people to the northeast to Tuntian, and this matter still needs to be operated by Mr. Guo himself. ”

Guoyuan was overjoyed when he heard that Zhuang Shaoyou asked the soldiers to go to Tuntian, the lack of labor in the county, and Zhuang Shaoyou was requisitioned more than 1,000 strong men last winter, which was the saddest time.

As soon as Guoyuan left, he listened to the report from his subordinates and came to visit on Sunday.
