Spring flowers are blooming, the ice and snow are melting, everything is recovering, and patches of green can be seen everywhere on the fields, full of vitality. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

It's February, and spring ploughing has begun.

At present, the most urgent task in Laoshan Prefecture is grain, and grain is mainly produced from the fields.

In order to accomplish this arduous task, Chen Sanlang took the lead in uniting the officials' rooms, household houses, workshops, and three rooms to set up an "agricultural command office" to be responsible for spring ploughing.

Originally, the affairs of agriculture were presided over by the households, but now the situation is urgent, and it is difficult for one household to be competent, so there is a joint command office, and Chen Sanlang is in charge himself.

In the territory of Laoshan Prefecture, there are countless barren fields, although the field division system was implemented before, and many fields have owners, but they are mainly concentrated in some geographically superior areas, and the fertile fields are indeed more sought-after, but the second, most of them are not cared for.

The population has plummeted, and there are too few people and more land to cultivate.

That's why Chen Saburo took in a large number of displaced people at any cost, and now it's time for thousands of displaced people to start working.

They are no longer homeless people, but registered residents of Laoshan with household registration, so they have the right to divide the land, and various welfare policies are no worse than others.

At this moment, everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized at once, and as soon as the spring begins, they immediately rushed to the fields under the guidance of special personnel and began to "enclose the land".

According to the household registration decree, the county seat where you are registered is to take the land in the local area.

In this way, there will be no crowding and snatching, and it will be more even.

With so many people, so many fields, it is impossible to supply cattle and horses, so they have to rely on manpower. However, these are not problems, even in the Taiping years, cattle and horses are luxury labor, often much more expensive than people, most of the time, it is manpower.

Manpower is sufficient, as long as the tools are in hand, it is enough.

At this time, Chen Sanlang's advantages in vigorously developing the mining industry were immediately highlighted. In addition to smelting iron and steel, and forging all kinds of armor and weapons, it also produced a series of agricultural tools - hoes, shovels, rakes and so on.

A lot of farm tools were distributed one by one. But it was not given away for free, but an agreement was signed that when the harvest came, a certain amount of grain would have to be handed over.

It is equivalent to using grain to buy farm tools.

It's a two-way thing.

Groups of people rushed to the fields, and everywhere was a hot scene.

In the process, there was a shortage of seeds.

Although Zhou Fencao and others had been paying attention to the fact that the three shen and five orders had made each yamen sure to keep seeds, the area of fields to be cultivated had increased so much at once, and the seeds could not keep up at all.

Sadly, I don't have the land to buy it yet.

The soldiers are in chaos, all of them are people who are struggling on the line of life and death, who can still care about leaving seeds, and some of them have eaten them a long time ago.

In desperation, I had to plant other crops, whether it was potatoes, beans, or other vegetables, anyway, I could eat them, and I planted them all if I had them, and I didn't teach the fields to be wasted.

In this era, there is a bite to eat, which is stronger than leaves, just do it, where can you pick fat and thin?

There have long been rumors that the barbarian army will invade in a big way after the beginning of spring, and there are pessimistic arguments that in this case, what kind of fields will be planted?

This statement does have a certain shaking effect on people's hearts.

However, the yamen in various localities have a very tight grasp of this, and all those who spread this information will be arrested. Under the review, several barbarian spies were unexpectedly found......

This is not a strange thing, since ancient times, there has been an endless stream of meticulous work, but wherever there is war and conflict, there will be.

These few people pretended to be homeless people who entered the country, presumably because they had benefited from the barbarian army, and some were coerced......

There are different reasons anyway.

After the spy was arrested, he was immediately escorted to Fucheng and handed over to the torture room for further interrogation.

Obviously, these are not all of them, there must be those who are more hidden. In this regard, we can only take strict precautions, and vigorously publicize public opinion, so that the people have confidence in Laoshan Mansion.

That's what the room does.

Song Zhiyuan is in charge of the education department, and political consciousness is also part of education.

People's hearts have always been towards Chen Sanlang, because whether the barbarian army fights or not, how this victory or defeat will be, it is unknown, it is certain that if everyone does not farm, they will starve.

Do you still want to be a displaced refugee again?

Yongzhou is so big, where else can it go?

So I didn't say it, hurry up and plant it, if the barbarian army really has to fight, if Laoshan Mansion really can't stand it, then the old and young masters will all go into battle and fight. It's going to be wiped out, what else can you do except fight?

Therefore, since the beginning of spring, the people's momentum has been good.

In the entire territory of Laoshan Mansion, there is a lot of hard work!

Fight hard, not for anything else, just to be able to live and live well.

......

Xieyang Valley, located in the territory of Gaoping Province, is a steep pass.

But now, this pass has long been deserted, with the sound of weeds and no people.

In fact, the entire Gaoping Mansion is like a hell on earth, with white bones all over the field, and it is difficult to see the living. This scene corresponds to the ancient poem: "There is no chicken crying for a thousand miles!"

For no other reason, Gaoping Mansion withstood the second sweep of the barbarian army.

Before the winter, the defeated general Shi Pojun burned and plundered in order to raise food funds.

This time, it was more ruthless and desperate than when it first entered the country, and it can be described as "scraping the ground".

As Chen Sanlang guessed, the barbarian army's food and military resources are not much, and they are very tight.

Shi Po's army rose up, the wind was hot, and he didn't pay attention to supplies, and the base camp of Barbarian Prefecture was a remote and barbaric place, not rich, and Yangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River could not be compared at all. Therefore, after the uprising, he brought almost all the materials he could bring, and traveled with the army, all the way to Yongzhou, which was also maintained by plunder.

From this standpoint, the brutality of the barbarians is not all due to character, but there are also military reasons.

Zhongzhou was defeated, and Shi Po's army suffered a great blow, not only the troops were seriously damaged, but also many baggage and other items were lost. After returning to Yongzhou Prefecture, he said that he was recuperating, but he had to eat and drink every day.

They have never been involved in production, nor have they paid attention to it, and now they can only rely on robbing to eat and drink.

The places around the state and county were unlucky, things were robbed, the old and weak were slaughtered, and the young and strong were either driven to work as coolies or forced to join the army as cannon fodder.

In this way, Gaoping Mansion became a dead city.

Of course, nowhere else is it much better.

There are very few people left, and those who can escape have fled, and they have become displaced refugees -- by the way, most of these people are now living in Laoshan Prefecture.

Today, on a warm spring day, a large group of people suddenly appeared on the lifeless road, with thousands of people, arriving at the Xieyang Valley.
