Taking medicine every day and recuperating with peace of mind, Xu Nianniang's injuries have been healed. He mixed a large vat of medicinal wine by himself, soaked it with dozens of medicinal herbs, and usually used a gourd to fill it, and drank it when he was hungry. In the state and county, his life is the most leisurely, sitting at home, boxing, kicking and kicking;

Xu Jun's belly is already very big, and it won't be long before she will give birth.

In this day and age, having a baby is a dangerous thing. Chen Sanlang didn't dare to slack off, and invited two experienced midwives early to be on standby at any time.

As summer turns to autumn, the crops in the fields have already been harvested – in the south, it is the norm for rice to be harvested twice a year.

The harvest of this stubble is like timely rain, which completely stabilized the situation in Yongzhou. Before that, although some multigrain vegetables and vegetables were eaten, on the whole, many people still had to go hungry, and life was tight. Now, a bumper harvest is good, the rice warehouse is full, and excluding those paid to the yamen, the remaining amount is enough for the whole family to have a good year. Not to mention that there will be another wave of harvest in the second half of the year.

In fact, the yield per mu is not higher than before, mainly because the fields are divided into households, the land is vast and sparsely populated, and each family has more fields, and the harvest is naturally rising. Basically, as long as you are diligent and willing to work, you will never go hungry.

The people live a solid life, and the income of the yamen is also good. Although the tax ratio set by Chen Sanlang is low, in fact, due to the large area of land collected, the total income is not much at all. You must know that in the past, the world was huge, but many fields were not taxed, such as royal fields, such as some large families, and so on, all of which had immunity, and they occupied the lion's share, and there were also those who concealed and did not report.

Taken together, it's a huge amount.

Basically, the income from these fields went into private pockets, which was of no benefit to the state treasury.

At present, this situation does not exist in Yongzhou, except for a part of the reward for the dead and wounded soldiers, the rest of the part is taxed.

The most important thing is that the system of dividing land is too good to mobilize the enthusiasm of the people. I wanted to be a cow and a horse in the past, which was only enough to fill my stomach, but now I have more than a dozen acres of land in hand, and I have a feeling of turning over and being the master. Helping others farm is completely different from planting your own.

During this period of time, all departments of the state government have been working with all their might, counting statistics, and registering them one by one, which is very busy.

Although the work is heavy, all the personnel have smiles on their faces.

At the same time, Meng Qingyan, the owner of the commercial house, also began to collect grain. If the harvest is good, there will naturally be surplus grain, and seeing that the second crop is about to be harvested, it is useless to pile up too much grain at home, and it will become moldy if it is not kept well, so it is better to sell it to the yamen for silver.

For a long time, the yamen has issued notices calling on the people to sell grain and use it to reserve military funds. Not only can you get silver, but you can also support the yamen, killing two birds with one stone, why not?

The warehouse of the yamen is full, and the confidence is sufficient, and the real "food in the hand, the heart is not panicked". Recalling the predicament of almost cutting off grain and grass in Laoshan Mansion, it is really embarrassing.

At this point, the various strategies and systems formulated by Chen Sanlang began to usher in the harvest season. If it is carried out steadily, it will only get better and better.

On this day, there is a rush.

There is a head, there is hope, and the talents under his command will be full of energy.

Mo Xuanyi's Rui Shi army has gradually become large-scale. In a short period of time, more than 7,000 soldiers were recruited, although less than 10,000, but this achievement was already extremely outstanding. The name of this army is "Ruishi", because all of them are infantry.

No, there are too few war horses.

Chen Sanlang thought about it for a long time, and simply directly established an all-infantry team.

Mo Xuanyi trains his own set of troops, so he doesn't need to worry. When his troops were completed, Chen Sanlang had the intention of sending troops.

Yongzhou's foundation is on the right track, and the next step is just to develop step by step, but Chen Sanlang is not satisfied with this.

Honestly guarding Yongzhou, maybe you can live a stable life, but what about later?

The general trend of the world is always changing, and every change has a flash, and once some opportunities are missed, they can no longer be reversed.

Chen Sanlang believes that the main reason why he has achieved success so far is that he has seized some opportunities. Judging by the flow of breath, it's time to decide on the next step. Moreover, today, Yongzhou's potential has basically been explored, and it is impossible to climb the ladder.

If you want to jump, there is only one way: hit out!

So, where to hit?

This is a big deal, and of course we have to hold a meeting of people to discuss it.

At the meeting, someone proposed to take the barbarian state.

Shi Po's army is dead, the barbarian dragons have no leader, and the sand is scattered, as long as the troops are sent over, they will be able to win.

Regarding this proposal, Mo Xuanyi and others immediately objected. It is said that the Manzhou region is remote and located at the far end of the southwest, and its belonging has no impact on the general situation of the world at present, and even if it is occupied, it is of no great use; second, the people of the Manzhou are fierce and difficult to govern, and in addition, the terrain is rugged and the mountains and forests are dense, which is not conducive to starting a war. Sending troops over, regardless of the outcome, is an unnecessary burden and attrition, and it is very unwise.

As soon as he said this, the person who proposed it was silent.

Zhou Fencao sat down, stroking his beard and making a contemplative appearance, but in fact, he was secretly proud. He also had proposals, but did not resort to words lightly. He is now smart, professional things should be done by professional people, and doing his duty well is the best performance.

Marching and fighting, that is the matter of Mo Xuanyi and Jiang Caoqi.

Sure enough, the opinions of the two were very unanimous, and they both proposed to fight Yangzhou.

Yangzhou is the nest of Yuan Wenchang, after the incident, led the army to the north, although Yangzhou still has troops to guard, but it has been quite empty. Fight over, there is a chance of winning.

In addition, Chen Sanlang accepted the holy decree and had the status of ruling the three states, which happened to be under the banner of crusading against the rebels, and he could get the people's support.

Besides, Yangzhou is Chen Sanlang's hometown, and his hometown is there, which has personal nostalgia.

Chen Sanlang misses Jing County and the Chenjiazhuang built there, and he doesn't know if it will be destroyed after fleeing.

When he left that day, Chen Sanlang vowed in his heart: Sooner or later, he will call back......

Now, the opportunity has come.

It didn't take long for the meeting to make a decision: Soldiers will be sent to Yangzhou!

Chen Sanlang appointed Mo Xuan, which means "general of Zhengnan", with A Wu and Li Rui as deputy generals, to lead the Ruishi army, and sent troops half a month later.

Half a month was spent on preparing military funds and preliminary preparations.

Mo Xuanyi happily received the military order, as a soldier, the opportunity to make meritorious contributions is only on the battlefield, and without fighting, it is impossible to establish meritorious service.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

At this point, in fact, Mo Xuanyi is superior to Jiang Caoqi. Because Jiang Caoqi is destined to stay in the rear and sit in the base camp.
