Chapter 82 Inspection
Wei Wuxian arranged everything and then began to retreat according to Xuan Yazi's notes, using the 'Soul Cultivation Technique' to nourish the Divine Soul, which will take a year, during which he cannot break through the realm, and he must maintain his current cultivation, otherwise the Divine Soul will have an unstable foundation due to the sudden improvement of cultivation, which is extremely unfavorable to future cultivation.
During the period of recuperating his soul, Wei Wuxian tried to simplify the 'Fengming Eighteen Styles' and make it suitable for ordinary people's cultivation, which required continuous deduction and experimentation, but fortunately, he had experienced many deductions of spells and exercises, and he was not unfamiliar in this regard.
In his spare time, he will flip through the [Thirteen Chapters of the Imperial Weapon] and [Runic Dao True Flow] of the Imperial Weapon Sect, these two books are the basic alchemy and basic rune array techniques of the Imperial Weapon Sect, and the content of the [Thirteen Chapters of the Imperial Weapon] is very clear and detailed from the selection and identification of the artifact, to the simple steps of refining the magic weapon, and the fire control.
The book "Runic True Flow" introduces in detail the relationship between runes and rune arrays, the methods for drawing runes, and the arrangement of simple formations.
The two books verified each other, which made Wei Wuxian suddenly open his mouth in some techniques, and his understanding of magic techniques deepened, which played an immeasurable role in simplifying the 'Fengming Eighteen Styles'.
Just as Wei Wuxian was tirelessly studying the two basic books of the Imperial Weapon Sect, there were new changes outside.
The Northern Barbarians attacked Lingzhou City with hundreds of catapults, but this time Lingzhou City was prepared, and a large number of bed crossbows and catapults were arranged at the head of the city to fight back, and the Northern Barbarians could not attack for a long time, and they were ready to divide their troops around the city to the west, towards Daegu County, fortunately, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court also arrived at Yanzhou City, and at this time there was a team of 10,000 people going to Daegu County, and it was expected that the two sides would have a big battle at the intersection of Daegu County and Binyang County.
However, the soldiers and horses from all over the country are rushing to Yan, Ling, and Lizhou one after another, and this time the attack of the Northern Barbarians will still be as usual, looting and plundering for a while before withdrawing to the Northern Wilderness.
In order to complete the immigration matters before Wei Wuxian left the customs, Ling Molin could be said to have been undressed, sleeping in the open air, and going back and forth between Lianshan Village and Daegu County.
According to statistics, there are 286 people who are willing to go to Lianshan Village this time, and more than 800 family members, totaling more than 1,000 people.
The first batch of more than 200 family members has settled in Lianshan Village, and they were all built in simple thatched huts in the early stage, although they are simple, but this is already very good for those refugees who have no fixed place to live.
The second batch is being transferred, and the county has given a great preferential policy, and the cost of land is reduced to five cents of silver per mu, and it is exempt from tax for three years and free from labor.
Wei Wuxian's policy was that each person in the people had 10 acres of guaranteed land, and as long as he paid 10% of the grain every quarter, the rest was his own. If meritorious service is made, according to the size of the meritorious service, there is also a meritorious field reward.
Only 10% of the rent was paid, which was almost no different from his own land for Minyong's family, and considering that these refugees had nothing, Wei Wuxian also bought a batch of farm tools and grain seeds to lend them free of charge, and returned them at the price after the harvest was available.
The policy is so good, Minyong's family members are looking forward to settling in Lianshan Village as soon as possible, and some refugees who know the news have approached Ling Molin to join the militia group.
On the other side, Shen Tao and the others divided the remaining 286 people into 29 squads and began to gradually carry out militarized training, which was very hard, but no one was left behind. First, these people have grown up from snacks and can bear hardships and stand hard work; second, Shen Tao's daily rations have been doubled, and meat can be seen every three or five days, and their physical strength is much stronger than before; third, most of these people are dragging their families with their families, and the family is counting on them, so they have to desperately persevere.
Half a month later, the Northern Barbarians withdrew their troops on all fronts and retreated to the Northern Wilderness, and Great Xia recaptured the Jade Bottle Pass and Jialan Pass. However, in this battle, the Great Xia suffered heavy losses, with more than 30,000 casualties, more than 10 counties occupied by the Northern Barbarians, and tens of thousands of people were plundered, and countless goods were lost.
This war of the Great Xia Dynasty can be described as a great injury, the treasury is empty, the pensions of the soldiers who died in the war have not been settled, and the Xia Emperor has no choice but to raise taxes again, and the people are miserable.
There are people in Huazhou and Kaozhou who are overwhelmed, and under the coercion of local officials, the war quickly spread to the entire northwest region, and the king of the sickle, Wei Zijian, personally led 20,000 troops to quell the rebellion, and was shot dead by the thieves in front of the battle, which shocked the government and the opposition.
At this time, Wei Wuxian, accompanied by Ling Molin, was inspecting the resettlement of Lianshan villagers' families.
"Childe, now it is basically settled, the second phase of the project is underway, the migrant workers are firing adobe bricks, and it is expected that they can move into the adobe houses for the winter in winter. ”
Wei Wuxian nodded and said, "Have the fields been divided?"
"This time, we bought a total of 5,000 acres of land, a total of 2,500 taels of silver, because of our good policy, another 150 new people, the total number of people reached 436, according to the policy, each person was allocated 10 acres of land, and the remaining 64 acres of land were not distributed. ”
"Buy another 5,000 acres, don't worry about the money, I'll give you another 5,000 taels, and you have to settle them properly." ”
"Yes. Ling Molin's heart fluttered when he heard this, and five thousand taels of silver were like a drizzle in the mouth of the seventh prince, so he came casually.
"Go buy some winter clothes, the food must be prepared sufficiently, pay attention to cold and epidemics, it is not appropriate to open up the wasteland now, but you must prepare things, and you can start as soon as spring begins." ”
Ling Molin bowed down and said: "Gongzi is really a bodhisattva, Molin has thanked Gongzi for these Minyong families." ”
Wei Wuxian waved his hand: "Okay, don't be pretentious in front of me, just do things well." ”
The two of them were walking, and suddenly a group of people came in front of them, one of the old men knelt down straight towards Wei Wuxian, and the others also knelt down.
"Thank you for your life!"
Wei Wuxian hurriedly stepped forward and helped the old man up and said, "Old man, please get up quickly, this is really a tormenting boy." ”
The old man said with tears in his eyes: "The son is benevolent and righteous, the old man and the villagers don't know how to repay it, so they have to kowtow to their benefactor." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the old man can live in a stable place now, is it okay to eat, Steward Ling didn't bully you, right?" Wei Wuxian said as he looked at Ling Molin, who was a little nervous to the side.
The old man hurriedly said: "Childe, don't blame Steward Ling, let's eat well and sleep well here, it's all thanks to the care of Childe and the steward!"
Ling Molin touched a cold sweat, for fear that the old man would say something that would make Wei Wuxian dissatisfied.
Wei Wuxian followed the old man while talking and laughing, looked at a few thatched huts along the way, and explained some more words to Ling Molin who was following him before leaving.
The purpose of his trip was to see the situation of Ling Molin's immigrants, and the second was to see the Spirit Valley in that valley.
