Chapter 893 Chapter 893, Wasteland Reclamation

  Ganzhou city gate, Zhu Jianzhong and Pang Guang rode out side by side, their faces were still red because they had drunk too much.

  After driving a certain distance out of the city gate, a gust of wind blew by, and the two shook their heads at the same time, and their minds were completely restored to clarity.

  Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang with uncertainty: "Did we promise Xiao Yeyang something that shouldn't be promised?"

  Pang Guang did not answer, but raised his hand and patted his mouth, looking like he regretted it.

  Seeing him like this, Zhu Jianzhong still has nothing to understand.

  Pang Guang said regretfully: "We seem to have been cheated by Xiao Yeyang."

  Zhu Jianzhong laughed: "Is it a pit? I don't think we are going to grow high-yield grain? As long as this year and tomorrow, the soldiers of the guard station will be able to eat."

Pang Guang hummed, "Xiao Yeyang gave us high-yield grains, but you don't look at what he wants from us. You Jin Weiwei is okay, you have two thousand horses, but I Lan Wuwei wants to transfer 20,000 frontier troops to Ganzhouwei, and he cannot be the old, weak, sick or disabled."

  Zhu Jianzhong looked at Pang Guang: "You will be content, and transfer 20,000 frontier troops to Ganzhouwei. You don't care about their food. Doesn't this relieve you of the burden?"

   "Lan Wuwei did not border Xiliao. Originally, your frontier army was a reserve army. Now that Xiao Yeyang wants to use it, he has also taken out an order from the Five-Army Capital Governor's Mansion, so don't complain."

  Speaking, he paused for a moment, and his face was puzzled.

   "However, isn't Xiao Yeyang already recruiting soldiers? Why do you want to transfer Lan Wuwei's frontier army? What is he going to do? Let us keep it secret?"

  Pang Guang was silent, but he was actually somewhat guessing in his heart

  Xiao Yeyang took over Ganzhouwei. He definitely wanted to prove his ability.

  How to prove?

  To retake Danhe, which was dominated by the people of Xiliao, is definitely the most effective and most advantageous attack.

  Just, does he have that courage?

  Now that there is no real war between Xiliao and Daxia, will Xiao Yeyang dare to lead the troops to retake Danhe?

Seeing that Pang Guang did not answer, Zhu Jianzhong did not continue to say anything. He looked back at Mrs. Xiao to prepare gifts for them, and shook his head. ?"

  Pang Guang glanced at Zhu Jianzhong, saw his mouth clamped and smiled, and hummed: "I look at you as if I'm quite happy."

Zhu Jianzhong did not deny it, but only said: "In the past two years, the people of Xiliao have become more and more excessive. They have robbed not enough money and food, and they have also robbed women. Last year they started to slaughter the city. The people of Jinweiwei have lived too hard, and I have no ability to change their lives. , If others can, I will."

Although Zhu Jianzhong didn't say what he wanted, Pang Guang knew it in his heart.

  Xiao Mansion.

Xiao Yeyang lay on the beauty chair, and Daohua brought the hangover soup. After he took it, he saw his eyebrows relaxed, the corners of his mouth smiled, and while fanning him, he said: "It seems that you and the two conductors It makes the conversation pretty good."

  Xiao Yeyang smiled after drinking the hangover soup: "It's okay, I will give them the food they want, and the horses and soldiers I want will arrive. It's a win-win situation."

   Daohua smiled and said, "I heard the maid said that you have poured them a lot of wine, and be careful when they are sober."

Xiao Yeyang laughed: "Do you think people who can sit in the position of commander are so drunk? They just follow the trend. As soon as we came, those two guys were paying attention. Today's result is that they are here. It’s been weighed before."

  Speaking, sit up.

   "Jin Weiwei can take out two thousand horses, plus the ones in my hand, can raise three thousand cavalry, and the remaining two thousand horses have to be bought from the people of Xiliao."

  Raohua: "The tea has been delivered. If you want to use it, you can go to the warehouse to pick it up at any time."

   "It's great to have you by your side!" Xiao Yeyang smiled and took Daohua and kissed him.

  Daohua disliked and pushed people away. Ganzhouwei’s summer was too hot, and Xiao Mansion didn’t prepare any ice this year. He sweats every day: “You’re not too hot.”

  Xiao Yeyang: "I don't think so." As he said, he had to stretch out his hand to hold the rice flower.

  Inahua hurriedly stood up, moved a little away from him, and said while fanning, “I just heard my second uncle say that my third cousin decided to stay. They made the decision so quickly, did you say something?”

  Xiao Yeyang said ‘um’: “The first batch of businessmen who came to Ganzhou Wei to do business will be given preferential treatment by the health office. I have asked Uncle Dong to formulate relevant regulations.”

  "The second uncle and the third cousin, I am going to set a wasteland outside the city and let them build a textile factory. The name is Ganzhou Textile Factory. The uniforms of the frontier and guard soldiers will be handed over to them to complete."

   Daohua smiled and said, "No wonder the second uncle and third cousin are so active, and your support is not small."

  Xiao Yeyang: "My second uncle and my third cousin came to Ganzhouwei to do business. They really helped me. I will naturally not be stingy."

  The next day, people from Jin Weiwei sent two thousand horses to Ganzhouwei.

  Xiao Yeyang became busy again, busy training the cavalry. At the same time, he sent Bu Gandang to Bamu Town again, found Ma Teng, and said that he was willing to exchange tea for horses.

  Ma Teng is also a well-informed person. He found out Xiao Yeyang's identity not long after we separated last time. He was quite enthusiastic when he saw Bu Gandang. He slapped his chest to ensure that he would contact the buyer.

  Budang Dangdang was very satisfied with Ma Teng's upper path, thought about it, and mentioned him: "My master values ​​the capable people, work hard, and you will benefit from it in the future."

  Ma Teng nodded eagerly.

  The Xiliao people restricted the sale of horses. Ma Teng contacted three Xiliao merchants with two thousand horses before buying them all. It took half a month.

  Xiao Yeyang still recognized Ma Teng's work efficiency, and gave him two gold bars so that he could help him inquire about the movement of the people in Xiliao.

  Five thousand horses were gathered, and Xiao Yeyang began to concentrate on training the cavalry.

  In mid-June, after choosing an address for the Ganzhou Textile Factory and starting construction, Li Xingnian left with Qin Xiaoliu and others, while Li Chenzhi stayed.

  Ganzhou City Gate.

Daohua sent Li Xingnian out of the city: "Second Uncle, Yeyang has led the cavalry training. You can't get out of your body and come here to send you off. You have to bear with me."

  Li Xingnian smiled and said, "Uncle knows, it's not necessary for you to explain."

Daohua handed a package to Li Xingnian: "Second uncle, this is a letter I wrote to my family. In addition to the Wangfu and Yan family, there is also a letter to the person in charge of the Zhongzhou Xiangyang Liuli Factory."

  "Next time you come over, you will have to trouble you to bring a team of craftsmen from the Liuli Factory."

  Li Xingnian nodded, put the package away, gave Li Chenzhi a few words, and then got on the carriage and left.

  In late June, as the wheat began to harvest, the people in Ganzhouwei were all excited.

  In the past, the best fields had a wheat yield of two or three shi per mu. Nowadays, using high-yield wheat seeds, even the inferior fields can harvest about three shi. The best fields can harvest four or five shi.

  Corn, potatoes, and cotton cannot be harvested yet, but the growth of the crops in the field can already show signs of a bumper harvest.

  Confirmed that high-yield grains are really useful, many people began to open up wasteland, and rich people went to the health office to buy barren hills.

  Ganzhouwei set off a wave of wasteland reclamation.

  In this regard, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang are both happy to hear and hear. The more barren mountains and wasteland that are cultivated, the more taxes will be collected in the future.
