When the tenth elder brother heard this, his face immediately turned red, and he hurriedly defended, "Eniang, I admire Qiqige and am grateful to Qiqige, but I also know that Qiqige is older than me, and she is also the fiancée of the seventh brother, how can I be cranky?" ”

Hearing her son's words, Concubine Wen smiled and said, "It's okay if it's not, although my son is not a smart person, E-Niang hopes that you can become a measured person." ”

Brother Ten nodded, "Okay, Auntie, I wrote it down." ”

Coming out of Jingyang Palace, it was already dark outside, and the tenth elder brother looked up at the sky.

The stars in the sky are shining, the weather is neither hot nor cold, the climate is suitable, I don't know why, why is my heart a little melancholy?

The seventh elder brother who was far away at the border received a letter from the tenth elder brother, although he did not say it explicitly, but Shen Bingzhu could see the gratitude of the tenth elder brother.

After analyzing the pros and cons, Shen Bingzhu understood the reason why Liu Yiyi treated Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen is here, she can confront Concubine Tong, and the pressure on Eniang is very small, and she doesn't have to take on the conspiracy to face Concubine Tong.

Although I was very anxious, I had no choice but to postpone the wedding.

In a blink of an eye, half a year has passed!

At the end of the summer, the crown prince and the seventh elder brother finally reached an agreement with the Tsarist side that the land they had already occupied would be the border.

Despite the signing of the treaty, neither the crown prince nor Kangxi believed that Tsarist Russia would keep its word. Therefore, from the spring onwards, there was a large-scale migration to the border.

Many people migrated from Henan and Shandong, as long as people came, 30 acres of land per person, and a settling-in fee of 5 taels of silver was given to each person, and no taxes were collected for three years.

With the implementation of Kangxi's policy of lightly taxing and never increasing endowments, the population in the customs area is increasing, so the per capita land is getting less and less.

A large family of more than a dozen people, only a few acres of land, in addition to paying taxes, some can't even eat, adult men can only look around for work, mix outside to fill their stomachs, and make a little money.

Women weave and spin threads at home to support their families, but they are still poor.

Therefore, as soon as I heard that the imperial court moved people to the northeast and gave land and silver, many families signed up. The local landless family had nothing to worry about, so they sold the house directly and followed the absolute court to the border.

Some of them have land in the local area, but there are not many, but there are many sons in the family, so they divide the family, and those who are willing to go out can go over.

Because the propaganda was in place, hundreds of thousands of people reached it in one spring.

A lot of land was reclaimed to grow soybeans and corn, and the seeds were still distributed by the imperial court. Although there is only one season, because there is a lot of land, each household receives a lot of grain.

While growing crops, I didn't forget to build a house.

Shen Bingzhu did not take out the real cement, but used soil cement, which is better to burn paper and cheaper.

It turns out that building a house is strong, cheap, and durable.

Improve the iron plough to make it more efficient and lighter, and it can be used if there are oxen and horses; There were no oxen or horses, people pulled in front, and people in the back held iron ploughs.

Seeing that Lao Qi was good at doing this, the prince handed over all the work of relocating the people to the seventh elder brother.

Shen Bingzhu was also tired of fighting and killing, so he took the treasure pillar and began to plan and resettle these villagers.

With Shen Bingzhu's deployment, although there are hundreds of thousands of people, all work is progressing steadily. Someone embezzled the resettlement silver, and after finding out, he was directly tied up by Shen Bingzhu and arrested several in a row, which ensured that all the silver would be distributed to the people.

Baozhu looked at the corn in the field, which had already begun to set ears, and said with a smile: "Seventh Brother, time flies so fast, it's already the end of summer. ”

Shen Bingzhu smiled: "Yes, in another month, these corns will be harvested." With this food, a house, and a kang ready, these people can survive here.

The agreements signed with Tsarist Russia cannot be said to be ineffective, but as long as the arrangers keep an eye on the side of Tsarist Russia, there is no big problem. ”

Baozhu nodded, "Yes, I hope that these grains can mature early, and when the harvest is over, the local grain will be self-sufficient, and it will also save the time and effort of transporting grain from the mainland." ”

"Everything else is easy to say, how to resist the harassment of the cavalry of the Tsarist Russia is a difficult problem." Shen Bingzhu said, "I think that the men in each village form a militia, and they take turns patrolling and standing guard at night and during the day. ”

Baozhu praised, "Seventh Uncle, this is a good way!" ”

After a series of deployment arrangements and implementation, it finally stabilized. Autumn came, corn and soybean sorghum ripened, and the people smiled and began to harvest.

Unexpectedly, in the first year, the grain was piled up in the granary.

There is no need to pay taxes for three years, and the grain harvested is all from the common people.

The imperial court bought grain from the local people, and the people earned money in their hands, and they wanted to buy other things, and a free bazaar gradually took shape, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.

The crown prince triumphed, and the class returned to the court.

Prince Yinren is very happy, this is his first personal expedition, and he has achieved such an achievement, whether it is military, or agricultural and people's livelihood, it is remarkable.

The seventh elder brother can finally rest, sitting in the carriage, very unimpressive.

The prince sat in the carriage and asked the fifth elder brother to come over and play chess with the seventh elder brother and the eighth elder brother.

The prince's carriage was large enough for four people to sit in it, and it didn't feel crowded.

Shen Bingzhu waved his hand, "You play chess, I just want to lie down, recuperate, and return to the capital, I want to get married." ”

Eighth Elder Brother smiled: "Seventh Brother, your body is very weak, go back and let Qiqige make up for you." ”

Shen Bingzhu glanced at Eighth Elder Brother and smiled, "I'm tired, but I'm not as good as you, I'm not tired!" ”

Eighth Elder Brother shook his head, "I don't dare to agree with this, I also did something." In short, Brother Qi still has to be more leisurely, and Brother is also thinking about you. ”

Shen Bingzhu smiled and looked at Eighth Elder Brother, "Brother, I thank my brother for his concern." ”

Every time Shen Bingzhu and Eighth Brother talked, they were always a little out of the question.

The crown prince and the fifth elder brother have become accustomed to the way the two get along, shaking their heads and smiling, not mixing.

The eighth elder brother can always be delicate when he gets along with other people, but when facing the seventh brother, he can't always be calm.

Obviously, the two of them are only one year apart, but in terms of knowledge, martial arts, and achievements, the eighth elder brother is much worse than the seventh brother.

From the bottom of his heart, Eighth Brother was very jealous.

is always compared by others, obviously he is also very good, but under the comparison of Seventh Brother, it has become dull.

Even the object of marriage, the eighth elder brother did his best to settle on the granddaughter of Prince An Yue Le.

The status is noble, and the appearance is gorgeous, far more than Kikige.

This point makes the eighth elder brother a little more comfortable.
