"Uncle, don't worry!"

Guo An chuckled lightly and explained unhurriedly: "Two thousand hectares of land is only, and my Wanping County has more than 16,500 households and 75,000 people!" ”

"If these two thousand hectares of land are distributed among the sixteen,500 households, each household will only need to reclaim twelve acres of land within two months!

In one month, a family only needs to reclaim six acres of land, that is, one acre of land can be reclaimed in five days, and any young man can reclaim one acre of land in five days, not to mention that a family of ordinary people not only has a young man, but even old people and children! ”

"Even among the 15,600 households, there are military households and artisan households, but there are also idle people in military households and artisan households.

For the fields that can own their own homes, these military households and artisan households will inevitably actively cultivate them. ”

And if these military households and artisan households have no time to reclaim the wasteland, then only 10,000 households will be counted.

For these 10,000 households, cultivating 20 acres of land in two months, 10 acres in a month, and 1 mu in three days, is it completely enough, right? ”

"This ......"

Nie Zishi listened with a confused expression.

Immediately, he quickly stood up and ran out.

Soon, he brought in an abacus and crackled it.

After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Guo An with a look of surprise.

"Good boy, you've already figured it out?"

"Otherwise, the kid wouldn't dare to discuss with His Royal Highness King Yan about borrowing grain!" Guo An replied.

Nie Zishi was relieved now, if according to the data Guo An said, it would be possible to reclaim more than 2,000 hectares of land within two months, even if it was 3,000 hectares of land!

"It's just that the only problem is that the people of all Lijia in Wanping County will listen to you, the magistrate, and work hard to reclaim the wasteland?"

"Uncle, don't worry, Guo An has already explained this matter to the lieutenant and grain chiefs of each Jiali!"

"Shhh...... How did you do it, this kid, those grain chiefs and lieutenants are all a group of earth emperors, you can make sense of them all? Nie Zishi looked incredulous.

"Just talk to these old men in the armor more, everyone has what they are pursuing, and these grain chiefs and lieutenants are so innocent and simple, talk more, it's easy to say anything......"

The corners of Nie Zishi's eyes twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help it anymore when he looked at Guo An's underbeaten appearance in front of him.

"It's really a bastard of the old Guo family, since everything is under your control, get out, the old man has been worried about you for a day!"

"Hehe, Guo An has always remembered Uncle Nie's kindness! However, it is really not early, so the boy will not disturb the comfortable rest......"

“……”

Two days later.

Regarding Guo An, Xiaozhi County, Wanping County, in front of Nie Fantai of Beiping Prefecture, Daxing County, Miyun County and other prefects, he made a bet with His Royal Highness King Yan and reclaimed 2,000 hectares of land to borrow grain, and it was directly spread throughout Beiping Mansion.

From the officials of the three divisions of Beiping Mansion to the people of each mile, they are all talking.

Even, even the fact that there were dozens of officials and students missing from Beiping Mansion was so inconspicuous in front of this matter.

"That magistrate of Wanping County really doesn't know the height of the sky, and in front of His Royal Highness King Yan, he should ask for two thousand hectares of fields!"

"Tut, it's really when he is the king of Zhongshan alive!"

"Hmph, when King Zhongshan guards Beiping, he may not be able to reclaim 2,000 hectares of land within half a year!"

"Have you heard of it, the magistrate of Wanping County was only recommended to become the magistrate of Wanping County a year ago, and this year because of the corruption case, he was fortunate to be promoted to the magistrate of Wanping County!"

“…… It's shit luck! ”

"But no, after listening to that Wanping County Xiaozhi County, there are only one in twenty!"

"What, so young!"

"yes, that's why it's so unreliable!"

"Do you know that Wanping County Xiaozhi County has a family?"

"Huh? …… Old money, you have a good calculation......"

“……”

Wanping County Yanei.

Ning Deyou, Feng Fuchun, Qi Nong and other six-room scribes stood in front of Guo An with anxious expressions.

"County Zun, now the matter of your bet with His Royal Highness King Yan has spread throughout the entire Beiping Mansion. Whether it is officials, rich businessmen, or ordinary people, they are all saying that you are young and vigorous, and you don't know ......."

Guo An smiled casually, "So do you know that those merchants who are passing by are also talking about this?" ”

Ning Deyou and Qi Nong were stunned.

After a while, Ning Deyou slowly replied: "County Zun, this matter has made such a big move, those merchants can't talk about it if they want to!" ”

"Very good!"

Guo An said happily.

"Huh?"

Ning Deyou, Qi Nong and the others were suddenly surprised.

"County Zun, these merchants have traveled south and north all year round, if they let them spread this matter to the south, what will be the reputation of County Zun?"

"Is this official bullying men and women, or is he corrupt, or is he a common man?" Guo An asked with some puzzlement.

Several people in Ningde shook their heads in unison.

"So, that official is afraid of a bird?"

Guo An said with a confident face, "The matter of reclaiming wasteland is an order issued by His Royal Highness King Yan, and His Majesty has been encouraging the people to reclaim wasteland.

Shouldn't this be a good thing? ”

"But the county honor, the food in those people's homes is only enough to eat for three months at most, if two thousand hectares can't be reclaimed in these three months, then tens of thousands of people in Wanping County will be hungry!" Ning Deyou said.

"That's why the official said that those merchants are talking about the reclamation of wasteland, which is a great thing!" Guo Andao.

"The villain is stupid!"

Ning Deyou, Qi Nong and others were puzzled.

"You guys are really stupid!"

Guo An sighed helplessly, "After these merchants know that this official and His Royal Highness King Yan have made a bet on the reclamation of wasteland, can they believe that the people of Wanping County can reclaim 2,000 hectares of land?" ”

"I don't believe it!"

Ning Deyou, Qi Nong and the others shook their heads again and again, not only did those merchants not believe it, even if it was this, they, the scribes of Wanping County, were still a little unconfident.

That's 2,000 acres of land, not 2,000 acres!

Guo An nodded and continued to ask: "So, after two months, the people of Wanping County will have no food to eat, what do you say they will do according to the cunning psychology of those merchants who seek profits?" ”

"This ......"

Ning Deyou, Qi Nong and the others just thought about it for a moment, and their expressions became serious.

"County Zun, by that time, my Wanping County will not be able to reclaim 2,000 hectares of land, His Royal Highness King Yan will not lend me the grain of the people of Wanping County, and the grain in the Yicang will not be enough for the people of my Wanping County to borrow.

In this way, at that time, the people of Wanping County can only sell their fields in exchange for food! ”

"And according to the treacherous and cunning habits of those merchants, a large amount of grain will inevitably be transported from the south in advance, and when the people of Wanping County have no food to eat.

Then use the grain in his hands to exchange for a large piece of land from the people of Wanping County at a low price! ”

Guo An nodded slightly and continued: "In the end, I will rent the land they exchanged for to the people of Wanping County to cultivate. When the harvest is harvested in the autumn of the next year, they can use the grain grown in the fields to hand over to the political envoys of Beiping, and then go to Beijing to exchange for salt!

They only need to use a few dozen stones of grain to get a steady stream of salt! ”

"What a cunning bunch these traders are!"

Ning Deyou, Qi Nong and the others were directly full of anger.

Then, he looked at Guo An with a puzzled face.

"The county knows this, why do you still ......"
