Chapter 61: The Folly of Spring (I)

"The snow has melted!" The people who were busy in the entire Fengyuan territory noticed the change in the weather for the first time. And when they encountered this situation before, the leaders of the Fengyuan family, who were absolutely happy, treated it very indifferently.

No way, these people are not forced to cat at home for a winter, it can be said that they are busy outside the house all winter, even busier than usual, where do you need to care about snowflakes, the time of spring?

However, although everyone treats the arrival of spring with a normal heart, Shen Fei's official government has to prepare for the arrival of spring. Needless to say, the first thing to do is to organize the people of the whole territory and start clearing the main roads from snow, dredging the canals, and laying stone roads.

In the previous winter, because of various equipment and facilities, everyone was able to run outside when the wind and snow were blowing, and at that time, in order to make the road smooth, there was no less shoveling snow to clear the road, but at that time, the snow was removed in the morning, and it was covered by heavy snow in the afternoon, and I was a little tired of repeated work.

But now that the snow has melted, you can really shovel the snow, and you don't have to worry about the snow and water seeping into the dirt road and turning it into a muddy road. Because of a winter, a lot of coal is burned, and this kind of thing is used to pave the road, and filling the mud road is a convenient and cheap thing.

Of course, Shen Fei will not requisition the people for free, anyway, everyone has survived for a winter, although Shen Fei has sent out all kinds of jobs in the winter so that everyone has an income, but they also eat about the same, so Shen Fei gave orders very generously and directly gave orders, and obeyed the orders of the executive hall to come out to work.

Needless to say, as soon as Shen Fei's order was issued, the people of the entire territory became excited, and all men, women, and children walked out of their homes to wait for the officials sent by the Executive Department to confirm the list, and led them to busy with those infrastructure construction work.

The spies who are still hiding in the house. A little dumbfounded, they naturally knew that when the snow melted, it was the coldest time, except for those who had no firewood at home, no one would go out at all, but the lords and lords of this Fengyuan Territory were crazy?

Some spies just pouted and went back to continue to nest, while some spies had ugly faces and hurriedly ran back to their forces to report, and found that except for Fengyuan Territory, which began to be lively, the other territories were silent. This nervous mood is even more urgent.

Most of the forces that received these spy reports scoffed at them, and only a few of them began to consider whether their decisions about the Fengyuan family needed to be changed.

It didn't take many days for Shen Fei to run out of the winter completely, and the whole collar began normal spring work, the city continued to be built, the troops continued to cultivate, and the infrastructure in various places was roughly completed, and the manpower and material resources of the whole collar began to be put on spring ploughing very normally.

And Shen Fei is starting to be busy with spring ploughing. The other forces are slowly beginning to recover from the end of winter, and the lords are busy looking for food, for the lords of these places have already exhausted their savings, and the autumn harvest is still more than half a year away. It's a time of hard work. And those adults who have been nesting for a quarter of winter, depending on their own savings problems, the big forces are naturally slow and continue to nest at home. And the poor forces, of course, like the people, ran out early to find a job to fill their stomachs.

Quite a normal thing. The snow in these places has not yet melted, and spring ploughing has not yet begun, so everyone must look for food everywhere at this time.

And Shen Fei's movements will naturally spread, not to mention those foot merchants who have been holding back for a long time and are now going out on the road immediately, even those who lead the people to visit their relatives, they will tell the situation of Fengyuan Ling.

Not to mention anything else, working for the Fengyuan family, three fist-sized pickle rice balls a day directly attracted the leaders of the nearby forces to flock over. These people who left the countryside and came to Shen Fei's side to work here think very clearly, they eat one rice ball a day and leave two, so they can feed their own family!

And those bachelors, even more understandable, only need to eat one, such a huge rice ball, endure it, it can support a day, and the remaining two are sold to those foot merchants to earn a few copper plates, which is also a very wonderful thing.

As for the business merchant Wei Mao, it is very simple, because Shen Fei is generous and generous, and the rice balls the size of a person's fist are very strong, and each rice ball is wrapped in salt-soaked dried radish two fingers thick. This kind of food that the local tyrants are reluctant to use is really too rich. Including the leaders of Shen Fei's skills, few of the people who received three rice balls a day were eaten directly!

Especially the people with Shen Fei's skills, most of them take the rice balls home and cook porridge on the coal stove, so that the family can eat enough and save the extra rice balls.

After the foot merchant buys the rice ball, it is simple, first take out the dried radish, soak the rice ball in water, expose it to the sun, turn it into brown rice, hoard enough to a certain amount, and then sell it to the big merchants, the price is completely several times over!

Shen Fei's generous decision not only allowed the various facilities in his own territory to have sufficient manpower to complete it, but also spread the reputation of Fengyuan's wealthy and generous family farther and farther. Although on the premise of feeding his own people, he also fed many people of the Yamada family, but Shen Fei didn't care about this at all, but was a little proud, because many of the people under the influence of the Yamada family pretended to go out to work, and moved the family to Shen Fei's territory one by one!

As for the population sent to the door, where would Shen Fei not accept it! The size of the population in these years and months represents the size of the strength! Naturally, without saying a word, he immediately resettled these people into the village. And with such an example, naturally more people migrate.

Anyway, these people, in the original place, is a broken thatched hut, other fragments, one by one, the migration actions are naturally brought over, so there is nothing to care about at home, there were not so many people who migrated before, mainly because they were afraid that there would be no land to plant when they came to Shen Fei.

But I didn't expect that Shen Fei's side would directly accept and assign it to Shen Fei's direct leader, and a large amount of land could be cultivated by them, in such a situation, it would be strange not to move! Because not to mention anything else, just Shen Fei's side of the people will be rewarded and rescued during the New Year's Festival, or if they encounter natural and man-made disasters, it will be enough to crush other lords in the world. And now the lord who defected is still a wealthy and generous adult, a strong man can support his family by doing odd jobs, in this situation, it is strange not to move!

Therefore, when the first group of people who had sneaked over were settled down and began to work and eat like the rest of the people, they suddenly began to attract a large number of people, and even the whole village ran away!

As for the soldiers stationed at the border, isn't it that they have not yet begun to really get out of winter, and everyone is hiding in the military forts, too lazy to pay attention to the people who are in tune with each other. In one, some soldiers looked at the treatment of Fengyuan's family and ran away secretly, which was also a helpless thing.

When the little lord under the Yamada family found out that something was wrong, and there was no one in his own territory, and the frightened report came up, the Yamada family was shocked to find that the population on the territory of his own border had decreased by two-thirds! The remaining third was still hesitating to go to the Fengyuan family to live!

Sensing this situation, the Yamada family immediately became furious, and they didn't bother to care about the time when it was still very cold, so they directly dispatched standing troops, and rushed towards the Fengyuan family with such a fierce momentum, and the leader of the troops was naturally Kanda-sama, who had long been eager to try, and the first person in the Yamada family's armed forces!
