If you want to find another Lu Xu, it's too difficult.

How can there be a second person in Daqi who can go straight to the capital from Beiting County and let the prince make purchases for him?

The longer he took office and the more he understood, the more Jiang Junshou understood why the cabinet transferred Yan Junqi to Beiting County.

He really wanted to meet Lu Xu and talk about the business and trade issues in other counties, but for some reason, Lu Xu didn't come this time.

Now that Yan Junqi and Lu Xu have just taken a trip to various ministries, and they have just sent out grain for disaster relief, the ministries must have a good impression of them.

But if they were to rent the land right away, would they be able to accept it? Will it destroy this hard-won and costly situation?

Jiang Junshou went around in his mind, and instead of vetoing Yan Junqi's idea, he asked, "How do you want to calculate the rent?" ”

Yan Junqi: "On average, every five acres, the annual rent is one sheep. ”

Jiang Junshou didn't have any idea, and he didn't quite understand how he calculated this data.

Yan Junqi explained: "The grassland conditions in different parts of Beiting County are different, one acre of grassland in the south can raise about five or six sheep, but in the north can only raise two or three.

Even less in the event of a blizzard, drought, heavy rain, or a pack of wolves. Subtract the annual tax to be paid, and collect a sheep for rent for five acres, which will be relatively acceptable to all ministries, and the resistance is not too strong.

In terms of specific numbers, it is roughly south of Dengyun Mountain, one for every four acres, west of the Mumu River, five acres, and six acres for areas too far north. From this year onwards, this number will be implemented for the time being, and if it is unreasonable, it can be adjusted again next year. ”

Jiang Jun listened, nodded, pondered for a moment, and suggested: "This method can be applied, but don't rush it. If the relief grain and grass have not yet been distributed, it can be implemented together, but it is ......"

It's just that the grain and grass have already been distributed.

Yan Junqi smiled bitterly.

He also thought about whether to use disaster relief food to force those tribes, but in the end he gave up.

Some tribes of the barbarians are very stubborn about saving face, if they feel that this is the county government threatening them, they will die to save face and refuse to ask for disaster relief food, it is still the people who suffer, and the conflict between the two races will be intensified.

It is easy to send money, but it is difficult to collect money, and it is also in consideration of this, he calculated and calculated, and only then did he calculate an average value of five acres and a sheep.

In this way, although the herdsmen are reluctant, they are not too painful.

The men of the Daqi military household have ten acres of land and the women have five acres of fields, and each family does nothing, and it is also a lot of wealth to be able to harvest a few sheep in the autumn.

After removing their daily expenses, they may still have some savings every year.

If you are a diligent person, you can do more work on weekdays, and your life can be good if you accumulate slowly.

In this way, even if someone in the family is sick and has any urgent expenses, there is always money for emergency.

In the future, when every household has livestock, their trade with the customs will be more large-scale, and they will be able to trade more easily stored grain and grass from the customs to feed the herders to cope with the famine......

However, there are still many difficulties in implementing it at the moment.

He and Jiang Junshou discussed it carefully, formulated a detailed implementation strategy, and how to resettle the military families who fled south......

The author has something to say:

Jiang Junshou is puzzled: Why didn't Lieutenant Lu come?

Lu Xu: Of course, I have to look after the house.

Chapter 324: Shopping

Yan Junqi and Lu Zhou returned from Beiguan County and began to prepare intensively for the implementation of the rent collection policy, and the weeds in the valley at the southern foot of Dengyun Mountain were almost cleaned up.

Bundles of hay were loaded onto trucks, half of which had to be transported back to various tribes to feed cattle and sheep, and half of which Lu Xu bought and transported back to the county seat to build houses and build roofs.

Military households returning from Beiguan County and Xifeng County built houses in the newly built villages in the county seat and Dengyun Mountain.

Lu Xu came to deliver food to the people working in Dengyun Mountain, caught up with the people's lunch, and taught them how to make miscellaneous grains and coarse grains to eat, and by the way, brainwashed the barbarians who were grassing and cultivated well.

"This place is so close to the military horse camp, you don't usually come here to graze sheep, this is suitable for growing crops and vegetables, they only plant here, and they will not destroy your pasture."

"When the grain grows, everyone can exchange it for food, the grain is cheaper than your meat, and the straw can be used to feed the sheep, cows, and horses."

The herdsmen nibbled on crispy cakes and drank soy milk and salty soup with wild vegetables and mushrooms, lamenting that these things could still do this.

The heart said, "What does it matter to them whether this is farming or sheep grazing?"

That's what the nobles should care about.

Anyway, this place is far away from their camp, and they don't dare to come here to graze their cattle except for those who are as bold as Kurokawabu.

After lunch, Lu Xu was about to go back, and the barbarians and the newly moved Daqi people said one after another: "You're leaving so soon?" ”

Lu Xu: "Reluctant to me?" Look, you don't want to hear what I say, and you can't bear to let me go. ”

Wei Er, who is in charge of supervising the work here: "......"

If their county lieutenant could be a little less narcissistic, everyone would definitely like him more.

Lu Xu was still sighing: "There are many teams in the county town that have come to get grain and grass for disaster relief, but there are not enough people...... It's a pity that I don't know how to doppelganger, otherwise I would have stayed here for a few more days! ”

His new little henchman, Yaka, a young shepherd boy recruited from the Debark Ministry, came running and said, "Sir, count it, twelve carts of grass." ”

Lu Xu: "Did you exchange it for other people's food?" ”

Yaka: "It's changed! ”

Lu Xu: "Okay, go home!" ”

Yaka stepped on his new boots again, and Dada ran to call the convoy and set off.

Wei Er shook his head.

The volume has its own hand in the volume, and Yaka is only eleven years old, and he is already very good at doing things, especially at coaxing people.

The point is, people are also very diligent.

The child's Daqi language can't be regarded as ignorant, and it can only be regarded as a little fur, but people dare to chase after the Daqi people and keep talking.

If you make a mistake, you will learn again, and if you are laughed at, you will laugh with others.

In the past few days, the Daqi language has improved by leaps and bounds, causing a lot of pressure on the noble teenagers from other tribes.

They were really good, and since Yaka came, he really dared to throw his work at other children and let him run around.

These two trips to deliver things here, all of them were Yaka to buy grass and load cars, and after they were busy, they came over to chat with others and eat.

Yaka ran sweaty, and got in the car, so that he had time to get a cake that he had just asked for from the house.

Wei Er was also puzzled, they usually like children, why are they so doggy to other barbarian children?

In the carriage, Lu Xu gave Yaka a water bladder, "Eat slowly, be careful of choking on you." ”

Yaka took the water bladder and thanked him vaguely, "Thank you, sir." ”

He opened it and found that the bladder contained soy milk that was still hot.

Yaka smiled at Lu Xu, stuffed the ghee cake into his arms, and took a sip of the water bladder.

Then he muttered the word "choked" that he had just learned, and asked Lu Xu: "My lord, ...... choking"

He put his hands on his neck and made a choking appearance, "So? ”

Lu Xu: "Yes, it's delicious." ”

Yaka: "What does that mean?" ”

Lu Xu: "It's just that I eat too much, my stomach bulges, and I can't walk comfortably." ”

Yaka straightened her stomach, wondering what it was like.

All he can remember is that he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep, and he never ate enough.

Until now, he didn't dare to eat first without working, and he would be beaten if he ate secretly at home.

He nibbled on fragrant butter cakes, and his dangling feet couldn't help swinging around, Lord Lu was so good, he didn't give him a lot of work every day, he gave him a lot of delicious food, and asked people to sew new clothes and make new shoes for him.

He grew up and wore new shoes for the first time.

Yaka began to chat with Lu Xu again, learning the new Daqi words he heard today.

Lu Xu thinks that he is already very good at speaking, but he has met an opponent.

He stuffed the bread he had hidden into Yaka, "Don't you get tired of talking every day?" ”

Yaka: "Not tired! I used to herd sheep and talk to them, do you think I talk too much, my lord? I won't say anything. ”

Lu Xu: "Say it, say it, the better you learn, the easier it will be for me, eat more, learn more, it's all for my good." ”

When Yaka heard this, she picked up the cake and took a big bite.

Lu Xu helped him hold the water bladder and helped him carry it smoothly.

The Yaka family has many children, and although they are not slaves, their lives are much better.

He is not ranked in the family and has no sense of existence, his brothers and sisters have been dying, and his parents have become numb.

Lu Xuchai said that he kept talking, maybe to relieve the tension in the face of strangers, or he could rely on his voice to brush his sense of existence, so that adults noticed, oh, there is a child here, when eating, when migrating, don't forget him.

He looked at the Yaka with his spare eyes, and thought to himself, what a smart child, no one to teach, he knew that he ran to ask the patriarch if he needed a shepherd boy to herd sheep, and when he was in the market, he tried his best to seize all opportunities to survive, and his vitality was so tenacious.

Lu Xu remembered that when he mentioned the bazaar, he always stood aside and watched others buy fried dumplings, and proposed, "Let's go back and eat dumplings." ”

Yaka immediately refused: "No, my lord, you said that there are too many people who have come to ask for food recently, and we have to eat a little bit, pretend to be miserable." ”

Lu Xu: "......"

This kid has a very good memory, or he should throw it to Junqi to learn to read.

The county officials who pretended to be miserable were busy outside the city to set up camp in various departments.

The nearby tribes have already received relief food, and in the distance, they are still a little unbelieving.

They hesitated, consulted with each other, and most of them came in groups.

First, it is safe on the road, and secondly, there are many people, and they are not afraid of any traps made by the Daqi government.

When I arrived at the county seat, I found that there were a lot of convoys carrying grain and grass to transport back, and when I inquired, I heard that there was not much grain and grass in the county, and the people of Daqi gave priority to their own people.

They were in a hurry again.

I am afraid that the grain and grass will be taken away by others when it is too late.

On the way, the collective began to accelerate again.
