Chapter 333: A good son, busy opening up the world

Finally, the next day, as soon as the city gate was opened, a large number of people poured in and rushed to the palace.

As a result, after arriving at the government office, I saw that the notice had been reposted on the government office, and other conditions had not changed, but the original ploughing cattle were gone, and they had become horses.

When the people saw that there were no more ploughing oxen, they asked why they had changed, and the officials did not know why. Seeing that the original ploughing ox had become a colt, many people hesitated, and as a result, not many people were willing to sign up.

On the third day, when they saw that the horse had become a donkey, the people who were watching were even more reluctant, but some people were worried that if it changed again tomorrow, they would get less rewards.

So these people went to sign up anyway.

As a result, on the fourth day, when they saw that the donkey had turned into a sheep, these people were completely panicked, and they ran to the government office to sign up, willing to go to the four counties of Hexi.

A large number of people came to sign up, and as a result, the number of people who signed up for one day today was ten times more than the number of people in the previous days combined.

By the fifth day, a new notice had been posted, and the sheep were gone, leaving only iron farming tools, salt, and grain. Seeing this situation, more people signed up.

Jiang Shuo successfully immigrated tens of thousands of people in just a few days. And the number of immigrants is growing rapidly. And the incentives for immigrants have not been lowered.

Jiang Shuo eventually emigrated more than 50,000 people in Yingchuan County, and then recruited civilians in Huai'an, Qi, Jinling, Xiangyang, and other populous prefectures and counties in this way.

After Jiang Shuo's continuous efforts, in the twenty-first year of the Mandate of Heaven, 500,000 people were relocated to the four counties of Hexi.

The originally desolate four counties of Hexi finally have some people.

Coupled with the continued liquidation of those wealthy officials, the population of the four counties of Hexi will continue to grow in the coming time.

After Wang Jing defeated the Xiongnu, he found that the population of Daqian was increasing, and he began to set his sights on the edge of the land of Zhuxia, which had been inseparable from Daqian because of climate, population and other reasons, and now it happened that the Central Plains was overpopulated and just migrated outward.

But migration can't just move honest people, although those places have been pacified by Daqian, but there are also barbarians, not to mention, Wang Jing also wants to expand the territory.

Guanzhong.

The hometown of Qin, since the defeat of Qin, it has been divided into several counties such as Guanzhong, Fengxiang, and Anding.

Guanzhong was originally a country of abundance, fertile and densely populated, and now it has been recuperating for decades, and Guanzhong has become one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Since ancient times, the Qin people have been brave in battle, and after the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the courage of the soldiers of the Qin State was famous all over the world, and it is still so.

In Huaxian County, hundreds of men are fighting in the farmland with wooden sticks and bamboo poles.

These people are not fighting indiscriminately, but fighting in a very organized formation, although Shang Ying's transformation and Great Qin are gone, some things have been carved into their bones.

The sturdy men in the front row are holding sticks and bamboo poles in one hand and shields in the other, and the people in the back are holding bamboo bows made of bamboo chips and constantly throwing arrows into the sky.

There were even drums on both sides, and everyone shouted trumpets to advance and retreat together, and even the frequency of attacks was very different.

These young men soon turned red-eyed, and the battle became more and more fierce, and the young men did not flinch even if their heads were broken and their blood flowed.

Because these people are competing for water, although there are many water conservancy facilities built by the imperial court, every village here will compete for water every year, unless there is abundant rain in this year.

These villages compete for water because they want to plant crops as soon as possible, after all, the cultivation time is only about half a month, and if the time is missed, the grain production will be reduced at that time.

If they lose the battle for water, then they will have to use water last, and then the whole village will suffer, and if they retreat in this kind of battle, they will not even be able to enter the ancestral hall when they worship their ancestors, let alone try to please a good mother-in-law.

What's more, if you lose, the surrounding villages will fall into ruins.

Of course, there are limits to this kind of fighting, and iron tools are not allowed, only wooden sticks and bamboos can be used, just for fear of death. When the time comes, everyone will be unlucky.

This situation is common in many places in the land of Zhuxia, and the government also turns a blind eye. This is because with such a good man and such a common man with abundant martial virtues, it is easy for the imperial court to form a large number of elites when it recruits and sends out an army.

Although this practice can easily breed heroes, as long as these heroes cross the line, the court will clean them up.

Each bow and horse is skilled, so that the good sons of guns and sticks are the elite reserves of the great cadres.

In real history, this trend continued until the Song Dynasty, and since then Haoerlang has become a Donghuamen roll call, and Wufu has become a cheap business.

Da Qian naturally won't worry about this during this period, and Da Qian is only worried about the lack of martial arts now.

On the hillside, the battle continued, and the Zhang and Zhao families already had a deep grudge, and the slightest incident would cause a big brawl between the two villages, not to mention that it was now a fight for water.

On the 'battlefield', the Zhang brothers have become more and more courageous, and the battle formation has become more proficient, and they have gained the upper hand. The Zhao family was beaten and retreated, screaming again and again, almost collapsing.

At this time, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came, and then I saw a large banner of the inspection department appear on the hill, and under the banner were twenty or thirty cavalrymen of the inspection department.

After the fierce Zhang family and the young Zhuang of the Zhao family saw the banner of the inspection department, they had a bad heart, if they were caught, they would definitely be punished to repair the canal, or transport grain and other labor.

There is no need to shout at all, it is just a breathing effort, and the young and strong people who are fighting will scatter as birds and beasts, and run away in all directions, for fear that they will be caught and punished by the inspection department for hard labor.

"Zhang Shangguan, please look, this is the most powerful place in Guanzhong, densely populated, fighting for water and fighting every year, almost once a month." The inspection department said respectfully.

"Okay, good, they're all good boys!" Zhang Shangguan said with bright eyes. This time, the imperial court wants to immigrate to Shibian and open up the land, which is what needs such a good son.

Zhang Neishou looked at the young men who were scattered and said, "I can't say that there can be a county boy among these people!" ”

"If these rabbit cubs can really produce some county and county south, it will really be a glorious ancestor!" The inspector laughed.

Although the imperial court immigrated to Shibian this time, it was also given a military position, and it was also equipped with weapons and armor, although the armor was only leather armor, and the weapons were average, but it was enough to deal with those barbarians.
