[Thank you for the support of the book friend 161206011652366 and the two brothers of Akatsuki Star!]
Luo Xifeng was not so easily frightened by Du Changgeng: "You are so powerful, why do you still have to ask the third son for a dragon scale horse? How long has the third son led the army, and he will get you three dragon scale horses, are you still not satisfied? Look at it, the dragon scale horse team that the third son will bring out in the future is guaranteed to be more powerful than your broken guard." ”
Luo Xifeng blocked Du Changgeng so much that he almost didn't go straight away, and Du Changgeng stomped angrily: "I'm too lazy to tell you!
Du Changgeng didn't mean to let Du Xuan send all the dragon scale horses to Chiyangwei, he brought a lifetime of soldiers, and picked up good things from his son's hands, Du Changgeng couldn't pull off that old face, maybe his wife was right, since the third son was able to get so many dragon scale horses, he might not be able to bring out a team of powerful dragon scale horse cavalry. Anyway, I didn't expect the third child to be able to make a name for himself in Black Bear Fort at the beginning. But who would have thought that the third child would do a good job when he arrived at Black Bear Castle. 20,000 acres of Chiyang rice, the fertile land on this side of Chiyangwei can produce two stones of grain. Even if Fort Black Bear is all newly reclaimed barren land, one acre and one stone should not be too much of a problem. Chiyang rice has a short growth cycle, even in the climate of Black Bear Fort, it can grow two stubbles a year, so that 20,000 acres of land can produce 40,000 stone of grain a year, which can feed nearly 3,000 people.
Now the total number of inhabitants and warriors of Fort Black Bear is less than a thousand. Therefore, after the first harvest of Chiyang rice, there will be a surplus of grain in Black Bear Fort.
"Du Feng, when you came over, did the third son ask you to do anything?" Du Changgeng asked.
"The young master also asked me to collect some homeless people along the way, the more the better. The land on Chiyangwei's side is flat, and if all the wasteland is reclaimed, hundreds of thousands of acres of land can be opened, or even millions of acres are no problem. It's just that there is a shortage of manpower right now. Du Feng said.
Du Changgeng nodded, not only is the land of Black Bear Fort vast, but which Fort of Chiyangwei is not vast and sparsely populated? The main reason is that no matter how much land is planted, it will not be able to hold it in the end. When the time comes, the barbarians will come and raid. Wild dogs are like locusts, not only robbing, but also robbing and killing and burning them all. No matter how much land you plant, you can't keep it, and in the end your efforts are in vain.
"Duane, you bring someone over to help Du Feng. Pick some more fit. Now there are a lot of displaced people from all over the country, you bring the escort team over, if anyone dares to stop him, you cut him for Lao Tzu!" Du Changgeng said.
"General, the young master said. He doesn't have to be physically strong. It's about dragging the family with you. Craftsmanship is preferred. Du Feng said.
"Why is this?" Du Changgeng was puzzled.
"It's more reliable. Those who abandon their families and children will abandon even their own blood relatives, and they cannot be expected to be faithful. Du Feng said.
"That's right. Du Changgeng thought about it and nodded unconsciously. suddenly found that his son was indeed different.
"Duan, you still bring someone over to help, just pick someone according to the method of the third son. The more the merrier. Anyway, it won't be long before the first crop of grain in Black Bear Fort is harvested, and there is no shortage of food. Du Changgeng said.
With the help of Du An and the escort team, Du Feng almost picked out all the homeless people of Chiyang Wei, and even collected many homeless people from the nearby guard of Chiyang Wei. The picks are all the good people who dragged their families and mouths as Du Xuan requested. Those who don't know the details, those who have bad character, don't want any of them. Moreover, this time, Du Feng came back and brought with him the homeless people who had been in Black Bear Fort for a long time, and with their help, Du Feng got a lot of good people who knew their roots.
After Du Feng returned, he brought a huge team, full of three or four thousand people. Although the current 20,000 acres of land in Black Bear Fort can only support less than 3,000 people, the reclamation work of Black Bear Fort has never stopped. It is no longer a matter of doubling or even tenfold the size of cultivated land.
What Du Changgeng didn't know was what kind of impact Du Xuan had on Chiyangwei this time by gathering the displaced people. In Xiningwei Lantian Fort, which is close to Chiyangwei, a group of people with broken families are plotting a big thing.
Yang Qianying and Yang Xianru, two brothers, have been practicing martial arts since childhood, and they are often entangled with some people who practice martial arts. After the guards of Lantian Fort came to the aid of the border, the two brothers Yang Qianying and Yang Xianru were able to rely on their own martial arts and lead the young people of Yangjiawan to form a village protection team. and let the wild beasts of the mountains come out and plague the fields of the village.
However, the hundred households of Black Bear Castle and the nobleman Hu Benyun began to fight the idea of 10,000 acres of fertile land in Yangjiawan. In the morning, Guan Shoufu's subordinates came to Yangjiawan to inform them that the two brothers Yang Qianying, Yang Xianru and the young men of Yangjiawan would rush to Lantian Fort tomorrow and join the Lantian Fort militia. Otherwise, the party will be held accountable for its crimes.
"Big brother, Guan Shoufu is the idea of beating our 10,000 acres of fertile land in Yangjiawan. This 10,000 acres of fertile land was left by our ancestors of the Yang family. How can we give it to others? Why should Guan Shoufu levy us food? We are not military households!" Yang Xian was furious.
"Guan Shoufu is going to force our Yangjiawan to death. Sunjiagou, which is closest to us, was destroyed by brute beasts, and nearly 10,000 acres of fertile land were destroyed, and all the people of Sunjiagou became homeless. The land of Sunjiagou was soon pocketed by the Hu family, a nobleman of Lantian Castle. This time, they must want to force our Yang family to a dead end, and then take our Yang family's land into their pockets. Yang Qianying groaned.
"Brother, what can I do then? You are the backbone of our Yang family, if you go to eat grain, our Yangjiawan will definitely not be able to hold on to the 10,000 acres of fertile land. Recently, there have been a lot of brute beasts in the nearby mountains. Maybe one day I'll run out and cause trouble. When the time comes, I am afraid that not only will this 10,000 acres of fertile land not be able to be kept, but even Yangjiawan will have to destroy the family and the village. Yang Qianying's younger brother Yang Jie said worriedly.
"Since the officials don't give us a way to live, we might as well do the opposite!" Yang Zhongrui is also Yang Qianying's younger brother, and he has the most temper.
"Zhongrui, you dare to say anything, don't you want to die?" Yang Jie said hurriedly.
Yang Qianying's heart was ruthless, and she gritted her teeth: "Now, we are afraid that we are the only one who has gone on the road that Zhongrui said." There are more than 100 households in Sunjiagou, nearly 1,000 people, and the last ones who died died, scattered, and those who were alive were all young and strong, and finally became Hu Benyun's slaves. If we don't resist, I'm afraid we will follow the same path as Sun Jiagou. Now that the guards of Lantian Fort have been transferred to the border, if we can gather enough men and horses, we will definitely be able to defeat Lantian Fort. We will pretend to go to Lantian Fort tomorrow to join the militia group, and take advantage of their unpreparedness to launch an attack and take down Blue Sky Fort in one fell swoop. Then we will gather the displaced people from all over the country. Princes and generals, rather there is a kind of?!"
