Since Ning Wuxian suggested to Jiang Yan about the troops.

Jiang Yan took this matter as the first thing to deal with, and began to take stock of the positions of the garrisons in each state and county in Jinling Mansion, as well as the surrounding wasteland, and the changes in the number of people who changed guards in each state and county.

Some of the proposals may be just a few words.

But implementing these proposals and making them feasible requires a lot of preparatory work in the early stages.

In this way, it is only when the dissenting person refutes it that he is confident that he will be able to convince the other party.

In the past, Jiang Yan's style of acting was to follow the script, never doing anything other than the holy edict and the decree issued by the imperial court, so naturally there was no need to bother to conduct in-depth investigation and research.

In his free time, he can even drink with his friends and discuss poetry.

But since Jiang Yan took over the placement of wounded soldiers, he forgot when the last time he drank.

"Lord Prefect, this is a record sent from Su County, please check it."

Jinling Shou Yu Zhengrong handed over the roster, and now he was full of admiration for this Jiang Governor, who had never pretended to be in the past.

Ever since Jiang Yan personally paid out of his pocket and was willing to pay extra medical expenses for the wounded soldiers with General Ning, he felt that Jiang Yan had changed.

But at that time, he just thought that Jiang Yan was infected by General Ning, and it may have been a moment of enthusiasm.

But he didn't expect that afterwards, Jiang Yan really took the placement of wounded soldiers and even veterans to heart.

A few days ago, he came to him on purpose, and proposed the resettlement strategy of stationing troops in the fields and serving the soldiers as farmers in wartime, and also asked the imperial court to support it, first using the taxes of the government treasury to offset the cost of wasteland, and then slowly repaying it after the harvest.

Concrete...... Yu Zhengrong and Wufu didn't hear it clearly.

But what he knows is that if this strategy can really be implemented, now that there has been no war for a long time, the soldiers who have cut military spending every year, even if they have finally collected taxes and have a few catties of grain in the end of farming, at least they have reclaimed the wasteland, and with surplus labor, they can improve their own food.

There is no need to wait for the imperial court to release grain, watching the layers of exploitation and deduction, and only eating seventy percent full at each meal.

"General Yu Shou, the border with Su County is Shang County in Luohe Road, and the garrison of Su County is close to Shang County, and these five hundred garrisons should be counted."

Jiang Yan's words shattered Yu Zhengrong's dream all of a sudden.

He hurriedly snatched the roster and glanced at it, thinking of the placement of the garrison at the intersection of the two realms, he scratched his head irritably, and was so anxious that the local voice came out.

"Why don't I write a letter to Shangguan and ask him if he can split half of it and take turns to go to the junction to be on duty, anyway, it's all in Daxing, and Fangluo River is not to defend his own people."

Jiang Yan smiled noncommittally.

As for the defense of these garrisons, in fact, it has not been changed for hundreds of years, and many places do need to be improved.

But this matter does not fall within the scope of his civil authority, and only Yu Zhengrong fights for it himself.

Jiang Yan did not refuse, which in Yu Zhengrong's opinion meant encouraging him to let go and do it.

He was not ambiguous, and turned his head to find his staff to write a letter to Shangguan.

Anyway, Jiang Yan's twists and turns should be about to reach His Majesty, and he is not afraid that the matter of the troops in Tuntian will leak out and rob Jiang Yan's credit.

As soon as Yu Zhengrong left the tent with his front feet, most of the light coming in from outside the tent with his back feet was blocked.

"Doesn't General Yu know how to write this letter?"

Jiang Yan looked up, and he couldn't see the face of the person who came clearly against the light, but because the image of the other party was already deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he didn't need to look at his face at all, and stood up suddenly, surprised.

"Mr. Ning, I was about to visit you and ask how the wounded soldiers in Liujiazhuang were, but I didn't expect you to come first."

"The prefect has a lot of opportunities, when this kind of thing happens, send someone to the ward to me, and I will come by myself, why do you need to go in person."

Ning Wuxian teased, gesturing to an ox cart parked outside the tent.

"I didn't come to you empty-handed, there are many mosquitoes around the garrison, so I specially brought a thousand bottles of toilet water."

Their value is no more than five hundred taels, which is not a heavy gift for Ning Wuxian, who has deep pockets.

But the flower water has long been sold out in Jinling City.

Even the soldiers in the garrison heard about the existence of toilet water, and he also heard people chatting about wanting to buy a bottle for their families who accompanied the army.

But there is still some distance from the city, and during the station, it is not a rest day, and if there is no serious matter approved by the guard, don't want to leave your post without permission.

Everyone can only watch the changes in the outside world, and cannot keep up with the trend.

At this time, Ning Wuxian directly sent the flower water that he couldn't buy to the garrison, and Jiang Yan quipped: "Mr. Ning, is this for me, or for the soldiers?" ”

"If I give it to the prefect and let someone who cares hear it, won't it become a bribe? So let me sell this favor. ”

The two smiled at each other.

After laughing, Jiang Yan sent Jiang Yang to distribute the flower water.

He also invited Ning Wuxian to the upper seat and asked how the wounded soldiers who moved to Liujiazhuang lived.

“…… In addition to the perfume shop and the ice factory, there is now a small lantern workshop, and I am worried that when I harvest the rice in a few days, I will be short of manpower. ”

After listening to Ning Wuxian's description, Jiang Yan was particularly interested in the lantern that could fly into the sky.

Thinking of the day of the Qiqiao Festival, when he was checking the documents at the desk at night, he seemed to hear someone screaming outside, but he didn't care, he knew that it was a lantern flying into the sky, and he should put down the paperwork in his hand and go to see this wonder.

"Mr. Ning is really whimsical."

Jiang Yan exclaimed sincerely.

Relying on these whimsical ideas, the Ning family was able to feed thousands of people.

Ning Wuxian was not modest, and continued along the conversation: "Speaking of this whimsical idea, about the placement of wounded soldiers, when Tong Duzao came back that day, I remembered that when I was a child, I heard my mother say that there is a medicine in the Western Regions to the west......"

Wait for Ning Wuxian to finish talking to Jiang Yan about the curative effects of tobacco.

Jiang Yan was overjoyed: "If this herb called tobacco can be planted, it will not only be a good remedy for wounded soldiers, but it can also solve the pain of many patients when it is popularized." ”

That's nature.

Ning Wuxian nodded in agreement, and the words changed sharply.

"It's just that these tobacco seeds are not easy to find, I think my original intention in looking for it is to relieve the pain of the wounded soldiers, and I hope that Lord Jiang can post an official list in Jinling Mansion, and if any businessmen know that these tobacco seeds have other origins, they can inform the government."

"The strength of the Ning family is really limited, and the connections are also limited, I think about this matter, and I can only trouble Lord Jiang."

Ning Wuxian did not hide the origin of the tobacco seeds.

Equally.

It is also said that the next batch of tobacco seeds may arrive in two months.

As for whether tobacco seeds will be delivered by sea in two months, it is unknown.

Jiang Yan heard his suggestion and muttered: "Since this tobacco seed is a specialty of another country, it is difficult to find, if you really can't find other seeds, you can only cultivate it slowly, 1,200 catties can be planted nearly 100 acres, and if it is used by wounded soldiers, it is enough." ”

This time, Ning was unharmed but smiling.

These seeds are used closely for the wounded soldiers of the Great Xingguo, and they are indeed enough.

But in reality, its radiation range is not limited to wounded soldiers.

Of course.

As for the other effects of tobacco, Ning Wuxian did not mention it to Jiang Yan, because he only needed Jiang Yan to tell the news that the search for tobacco seeds was to heal the wounded soldiers, so that Zhou An knew about it and let the whole world know.

Emphasizing the importance of tobacco seeds, but not emphasizing its real importance, is the only way to make Zhou An die without a place to be buried.

"Mr. Ning, only post the official list in Jinling Mansion, there may be omissions, why don't you go back to the mansion to find Master Su and ask him to send an official document to look for tobacco seeds in the entire Jiangnan Province."

"It's a great idea."

Ning Wuxiao was originally going to find Su Rui to make the final layout.

At this time, I just borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, stood up with the trend, and prepared to leave.

He had just walked to the door, but he heard Jiang Yan suddenly ask.

"Mr. Ning, do you have the tobacco you just mentioned?"
