In this part of the northwest, there are many rugged areas. There are also Tibetans' lands. However, it must be mentioned that the conditions in the places where people can be hidden are really difficult. Even this group of Han Jiajun has endured hardships and resisted crimes, and they can't withstand years of hiding.

People can stay in the deep mountains and forests for a month or two months, is it possible that they can stay for a lifetime?

Wang Shu sat on Xiao Yanxing's right hand, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "How about using the remaining group of people as tenants?" ”

"Huh?"

Her mouth instantly attracted attention.

Several pairs of eyes all looked at him, Wang Shu did not panic, and said calmly: "My Wang family has always been walking outside as a businessman, but you may not know. As early as 20 years ago, the Wang family was a big landowner in Qinghe Town. It would be reasonable to let these people be tenants of the Wang family and settle in the villages under Qinghe Town. In the past, my Wang family had a tradition of using Hu people to farm the land, and there were many homeless Hu people who were settled......"

"Don't talk about it at this point." Wang Shu looked at Xiao Yanxing, "Qinghe Town is only an hour's drive away from Lin'an County. If it is placed here, if you need to urgently transfer people in case of emergencies in the future, you can also get support in a very short time. ”

After she finished speaking, the entire flower hall was silent.

Chapter 52

To be honest, when Wang Shu was originally arranged, I didn't expect her to participate in the discussion and arrangement. However, since she is now the head of the Wang family, this matter must not pass her, so let her sit aside. Unexpectedly, she didn't open her mouth, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she pointed to the key, completely subverting the impression of everyone present that she was ignorant of the world.

Wang Shu blinked a few times, and some regretted that he had spoken rashly. But if you don't say that, you can't do it. Time is pressing, and since the Wang family has been involved, she must ensure that this matter can be done well. Otherwise, something went wrong, and the Wang family and Xiao Yanxing were unlucky together.

"There are more than a dozen villages under Qinghe Town, and the population of the villages is not fixed."

Speaking of which, this is also what Wang Shu found out when she went back some time ago and dealt with the township chief.

Because of its location on the border, the village has to recruit men every three years. The amount of change is significant.

There is a saying that 'in ancient times, a few people returned', and most of the men who were recruited into the barracks survived less and died more. Local officials forcibly levy taxes for the sake of good performance, and sometimes deliberately conceal the death toll to oppress the local people. But what if there is a real shortage of manpower and no one to farm? There are policies and countermeasures, and this gives rise to another possibility, to take the Hu people.

In particular, the emperor was far away, and the landlords and gentry deliberately appointed foreign slaves to avoid taxes in order to avoid heavy taxes and exploit the loopholes of the head tax.

In other words, there's a lot of room to maneuver here. Even if one finds out that the Wang's fields are full of foreigners, or that there is a problem of more tenants than land, it is not enough to attract attention.

Wang Shu also has a lot of work to do with the fields, and has some research on these policies: "The number of people in the township is changing every year, and the people above are sloppy in the census, and the people below will not know about it. How many people are in the village depends on the words of the chief. ”

Xiao Yanxing's gaze staring at Wang Shu was about to scorch her, and even Huang Li, Liao Xiwen and other stewards were also dumbfounded.

The room was quiet for a while, and several people couldn't help but look at each other.

This is no longer a change of opinion on Wang Shu, their attitude towards Wang Shu at this time is deferential, and even their tone has become a lot more cautious: "...... How did the big girl come up with this idea? ”

"And you say, 'Is this possible?'

Xiao Yanxing pointed his finger on the table and muttered softly.

The method is naturally feasible, and it is much more reliable than transporting it elsewhere. not only greatly rationalized the identity of this group of Han Jiajun, but also ensured the convenience of Xiao Yanxing's employment. Qinghe Town is close to the city, the location is good, and it is more secluded to transport people in from the edge of the village.

"Yes." In every respect, there is no problem. One could even say that it was great.

Wang Shu nodded, but there was no pride in her heart. It's just that she has more information than anyone else. If they knew the details of the Wang family, she would not have proposed this method. However, in a way, the Wang family has made a bloody investment this time. Whether it is a shop or an ancestral property, through this experience, it can be regarded as having a thorough understanding of Xiao Yan.

Now that we have the solution, the next question is how to do it. The address of the resettlement has changed, and the route has naturally changed. How many people can be accommodated in the subordinate villages of Qinghe Town, if it exceeds 6,000, other places will also change.

These things are naturally arranged by people who do practical things, and Wang Shu can't help.

She's been out into this world for so long, and she's never been to a few places. Either in the field or in the back house. The farthest place to go is the Linshui Temple where Xiao Yanxing visited the Buddha...... Thinking about it like this, I feel a little sad. However, if she had to travel around tirelessly, Wang Shu was too lazy to move. In ancient times, it was not the afterlife, and the means of transportation would break people's bones.

Although she had already slept during the day, Wang Shu was still a little sleepy at this time. While listening to them, he dozed off in the iQue.

Xiao Yanxing listened to the discussion of several people, and his eyes fell on Wang Shu, who was little by little.

She just said the proposal and then shut up. As if at least for a reminder. When it comes to understanding Daqing's laws and policies, Mr. Mu and Mr. Yan are indispensable. In terms of familiarity with the northwest boundary, it is these people who have really run through the Wang Family Dart Bureau. They have a direction for these things, and they can quickly settle down. It's Wang Shu......

Until the third watch, Wang Shu's drowsiness was awakened by the sound of a cup falling to the ground. She opened her eyes instantly.

It turned out to be the red-bearded man on Xiao Yanxing's side, who had a dispute with the short-tempered Master Guo on Wang Shu's side. Although the method of resettlement was determined, the route was somewhat divergent. From Qiuzi to Yongzhou to send people, there are three routes to go.

The first is to go east from Qiuci, along the inaccessible suburbs from Gaochang and Huangyu Town, directly into Yongzhou. The second is to go south, fold it, borrow the road of Tibet from Khotan, fold to the east, and enter Yongzhou. The third one is more dangerous, passing through Lin'an on the way, from Lin'an to the southeast, to Yongzhou.

Each of the three paths has its own advantages and disadvantages. The first route is compromised, and the road is easy to walk. But there are so many villages along the way that it's easy to spot.

The second route is too long and inaccessible to avoid detection. But it's really too long, just relying on the nectar of two legs, it can't be done in just ten days. But if it's just a Tibetan, in fact, as long as the road is not discovered, the time of the journey does not affect the overall situation. But this involves another issue, and you may need to bring your own baggage. If it weren't for the baggage, so many people would have starved to death.

The third path is shorter, but there is a more serious problem. Xiao Yan pedestrian is in Lin'an County. This place was already strictly watched, and the county order of Lin'an County was in trouble again, and it was another trouble.

Now there are disagreements between several people who choose which road to take, Redbeard thinks that the soldiers can endure hardships and can walk, and Master Guo thinks that the baggage can't keep up. And the dart masters of the dart team did not go this way, which is not safe.

Both of them were a little anxious, and they had good intentions when they spoke. Who knew that he was in a hurry and accidentally knocked over the teacup.

Wang Shu covered her pounding heart, looked at it, and pursed her lips. Xiao Yanxing had already paid attention to her, and when he saw her expression, he suddenly called her name: "Shu'er has other opinions?" ”

Xiao Yanxing said softly, 'Shu'er', and the back of Wang Shu's cold head was numb for a moment, and she drove away all her sleepy insects.

She looked at Xiao Yanxing speechlessly, this person was unconscious.

Wang Shu had no choice but to stand up and take the map spread out on the table. She pointed to the upper edge of Tibet: "This place is very typical of the Yadan landform. The large area of the Gobi is short of water, and it is not good for Tibetans. This road is not so simple. ”

"Yadan landform?" This is the first time I have heard this word.

A room full of people is getting up.

Wang Shu couldn't explain what the Yadan landform was.

"Yadan" is originally a Uyghur word that originally meant a hill with steep walls. In terms of geology, the Yadan landform refers to a landscape composed of a series of parallel ridges and trenches after long-term wind erosion. The Gobi is vast and the roads are difficult. And when the wind blows, the hills along the way echo each other, and all kinds of strange noises will be made. From here, no matter how strong a soldier is, he will have a nervous breakdown.

The route itself was chosen just for the transition, and in that case, there was no need to go to such a dangerous place.

“…… It's a kind of landform where no grass grows. Wang Shu took it vaguely, too lazy to explain: "The shortest route can not be taken, and the compromise can be detoured in a different direction." There's a swamp here, and it's off the beaten track to avoid some of the villages......"

Speaking of this, Wang Shu pointed her finger on the map.

The others wanted to ask about the Yadan landform, but when they saw that Wang Shu had already continued, they put away their questions. Xiao Yanxing's eyes were wrapped around Wang Shu's body, and his eyes changed several times, without interrupting.

After Wang Shu finished speaking, the people on Xiao Yanxing's side didn't feel anything, and the eyes of several darts on the Wang family's side lit up.

They forgot that when it comes to the memory of the terrain, Wang Shu, who can draw maps by memory, is naturally clear.

She was so little that the drowsy brains of several people also cleared up.

Wang Jinfei ran to this place a long time ago. Wang Shu didn't say that he didn't think about it, but he remembered it when he mentioned it. I remembered not only the villages, the terrain, the mountains along the way, but also the location of the river. In ancient times, it was indispensable to walk along the water. If you don't go in the direction of the water source, something big will happen. The dart master who ran through the Western Regions knew best that the lack of water on the road would kill people.

A person can go without water for a day or two, but he cannot go without water for ten days and half a month.

Wang Jinfei immediately gave a more reasonable route. Xiao Yanxing then rejected the previous three routes and decided on the last one.

Wang Shu: "......" trusts her so much that she panics.

"In that case, arrange it as soon as possible."

After discussing until dawn, everything was finally arranged.

At the moment, the darts of the Wang family did not stay, and immediately set off to go back to make their own arrangements. Xiao Yanxing's soldiers did not dare to delay, and immediately went down to rectify the distribution. When everyone left, Xiao Yanxing loosened his straight back and slowly leaned back on the chair.

He never rested for a day and a night, and his eyes were all blue and black. He was pale and leaning loosely on the back of his chair, hanging his proud head. The neck bone on the back of the neck is slightly raised, and it is really haggard and pitiful.

Wang Shu glanced at his slender neck, which was slightly folded, and was rarely kind: "Master, sleepy?" ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Yanxing raised his face slightly, his crow-like eyelashes half-covered his eyes, and a trembling shadow fell on the bridge of his nose. His eyes glanced at Wang Shu carelessly, the candle flame flickered and swayed in his pupils, and the light in his eyes seemed to be sprinkled with broken jade at this time.

Wang Shu was almost stunned by the beauty, and restrained her urge to go up and touch it. With the posture of a righteous gentleman, he said: "I will ask the magpie to clean up the house for you, and you go and rest." ”

"No need," Xiao Yanxing tugged at his neckline, and the tightly buttoned neckline loosened a little, "I'll go to your house to rest." ”

Wang Shu: "...... If you weren't sleepwalking, you should know that I didn't sleep last night. ”

"Hmm."

Xiao Yanxing stood up, and his tall figure was firmly enveloped by the shadow of the candlelight. He had a faint smell of grass in it. If you don't go to the temple for a long time to worship the Buddha, the sandalwood fragrance will gradually dissipate, and this refreshing smell will be left. To be honest, it smells really good, as if you can feel the clear and clean breath in a person's bones.

He stretched out his hand and flicked his sleeve, bent down, and looked directly into Wang Shu's eyes.

The two of them were separated by a palm's cheek, and their breath smelled each other. He opened his lips and said softly, "I'm your father-in-law, haven't you forgotten?" ”

Wang Shu: "......"

Chapter 53

She didn't forget, she just didn't think you could do it.

Of course, Wang Shu still won't say nonsense. Talking nonsense or something, men, no matter what their status, they are very concerned about this point of male self-esteem. Even if Xiao Yanxing has a very serious misogyny, it doesn't prevent him from caring about the fact that the woman says that he can't do it.

"Do you really want to sleep in my house?" In fact, Xiao Yanxing loves cleanliness very much, and the smell on his body is also good. There is no question of disliking him. Wang Shu has always slept very hard, and she doesn't care if there is anyone around.

At the same time, Xiao Yanxing is more reliable than a monk, and she doesn't really care about sleeping with him.

When he said such a thing, the girl's face was not red at all, Xiao Yanxing didn't expect it. The two stood facing each other, and Xiao Yanxing was stiff for a long time, exhaling faintly.

“…… That's it, don't sleep. "There is something else to do today, others must be in the temple," said he said, arranging for someone to take me up the mountain. ”

Wang Shu shrugged his shoulders and arranged for a carriage to take him up the mountain.

The people sent them away, Wang Shufang went to the back kitchen to eat something, turned his head and went back to the house to sleep.

After the Liang family was taken away by the officers and soldiers, Xiao Zhai seemed to have removed the curfew from Wang Shu. Now she doesn't go back during the day, and no one asks about it. Wang Shu didn't dare to sleep for too long, for fear that it would affect her normal routine. Before lying down, tell the magpie to wake her up after an hour.

When I wake up for a nap, it's still early.

Wang Shu bathed and changed clothes, changed into clothes that were convenient for movement, and went to the grain field.

The placement of Han Jiajun is handled by Master Lin Wang Jinfei and a few of them, and she has already done what Wang Shu needs to do. The rest of the matter just needs to be kept informed of the progress, and it is enough. She could now focus on something else. After all, as soon as August is over, it is time to start thinking about harvesting the rice in the experimental field.

Speaking of the harvest, there's another thing here.

After so many years, the Wang family has nearly 1,000 acres of land. But since my father died last year, no one has touched this property. Mao's eyes were only focused on the dividends of the shop, and he didn't bother to take care of the work in the fields. Not only did she not care, but she also sold a group of people in the field to leave. I don't know if the grain in the fields this year will be enough to sell in the grain stores next year.

After thinking about it, Wang Shu decided to take a trip to Qinghe Town to check the condition of the grain in the granary.

Wang Shu didn't take care of these things in the past, mainly because she didn't need to take care of the affairs at home. Now that she really wants to think about it, she doesn't know where the Wang family's granary is. The location of the Wang family's granary is also quite hidden, and only the old people of the Wang family who follow their father know.

With something in mind, Wang Shu rushed to the grain field in the northern suburbs to dry wheat seeds.

Sure enough, Peony was watching in the grain field herself. Knowing that Wang Shu attached great importance to this batch of wheat, Peony stared very closely. After this period of exposure, the wheat seeds have already been dried. The peony was watching the tenants sort the wheat into varieties and bagged them, and they had to follow the stickers that the lily of the valley had written in the morning.

Wang Shu came over, and the peony was already busy and was almost finished.

Wang Shu planted a total of six varieties of wheat, and the area of each planting is not large, and the total area is only two acres. Each harvest is also carried in two large bags and packed separately. Only at this time are bagged according to the variety, although the yield is inconsistent. But it adds up to 400 catties. The two acres of land add up to more than 800 catties.
