Text Chapter 432 Hecheng reminiscences

In October, south of Hecheng County.

The heavens have smeared the colors on this landscape, the clear river passes through the golden jungle, the snow-capped peaks in the distance sparkle like jewels in the sun, and the large white clouds are piled up between the blue sky and the grass, showing the beauty of unrestrained and unrestrained. The breeze blows through the long mane of the charcoal, which flutters in the wind, and the charcoal seems to be moved by the beautiful scenery in front of it, and looks at the colorful world in front of it with a clear gaze.

Jiang Anyi and Fan Siben stand side by side on a high slope, and at the bottom of the slope is a large area of farmland, and there is no edge in sight. The fields were uncultivated, overgrown with weeds, and the wind and grass were blowing, and it was bleak. Fan Siben pointed to the wooden house not far from the river with the horsewhip in his hand, and introduced: "Anyi, this was originally Baqing Town, and there are more than 300 families. When the bandits of the Western Regions invaded, the people in the town died, and the captives were taken away, and this place was deserted. ”

"This piece of land is about six miles long, more than two miles wide, along the river bank all the way down, all the fertile soil, I checked the county records, this piece has 682 hectares of Ueda, 424 hectares of Zhongtian, but unfortunately, most of them are abandoned this year." Fan Siben said regretfully: "There are still a lot of abandoned good fields like this, it's a pity." ”

1,100 acres of land, according to the law of Da Zheng, an adult man gives 20 acres of land, even if a garrison gives half an acre of land, it can accommodate more than 2,200 people. This is not only a piece of land in Hecheng County, but the land in the six counties together is enough for 50,000 soldiers to reclaim. Jiang Anyi asked, "How many such wastelands are there in Hecheng County?" ”

Fan Siben pondered for a moment and said: "After I received the official document from the government office, I took people to check everywhere, the original fields were about 6,000 hectares of wasteland, and as for the countless uncultivated wastelands, my Hecheng County alone can accommodate 10,000 soldiers. Changtu Village in the south of Hecheng County is smaller than here, and it can be repaired by the end of October, and there are 800 hectares of land there, and by next year, I will be able to clear at least 2,000 hectares. ”

Jiang Anyi asked: "With the land and shelter, are the things such as livestock, grain, and farming tools also ready?" ”

"There is no shortage of livestock, and if you have money, you can buy it. Anyi, you look to the west of the town, there is a big livestock shed there, I am going to gather the cattle and horses that plough the land, I have prepared 60 ploughing cattle and 16 horses to transport things for Baqing Town. You look here. ”

Following the direction of Fan Siben's horsewhip, Jiang Anyi saw a row of neat houses, and the style should be newly repaired, "That's the granary, and it will be hoarded there when the grain is collected in the future, and there are these soldiers watching, and no one will come to rob it." ”

Jiang Anyi was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Brother Fan has thought it through. I received an official letter from the four capital protectorates, the troops of Andong, Annan, and Anbei will not leave until the spring is warm, and the Anxi capital will be in Bingzhou, and Yang Dudu said that he will send 3,000 troops over before the end of October, Brother Fan, you are well prepared here, let them come to Hecheng County first. ”

Fan Siben smiled, he knew that the arrival of the garrison would bring a lot of problems to the local area, and it would also cost a lot of financial resources, but in the long run, the garrison will settle down in the local area, increase the local population, and inevitably promote the prosperity of the local area, and the garrison has combat effectiveness, with them as the backing, usually horse bandits and bandits do not dare to attack at all.

Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, Jiang Anyi continued: "When the garrison soldiers come, you can requisition them to build houses and build roads, and the wages will be converted into copper coins or materials for them. I came this time to bring some silver taels, and some grains, you ask Yan to join the army to report the account and ask for money. ”

Fan Siben bowed his hand to Yan Yi, who was joining the army behind Jiang Anyi, and said with a smile: "Yan joins the army, but you have to take care of it." ”

Yan Yi knew the relationship between Fan Siben and Jiang Tingshi, how dare he take it in front of him, and said with a smile: "Lord Fan, as long as Lord Jiang nods, you can choose what you bring." ”

Jiang Anyi looked around at the beautiful scenery in front of him and sighed: "The country is picturesque, how can you bear to let it be contaminated with fishy flesh, Jiang is an official state, so that the people of Huazhou will no longer suffer from the invasion of Hu Qi." The matter of the troops is one of the countermeasures that Jiang came up with, Brother Fan, the safety of the people of Hecheng County, please ask you. ”

The two exchanged letters constantly, and Fan Siben had a thorough understanding of Jiang Anyi's Juntun thinking, and said solemnly: "Lord Jiang, please rest assured, the lower officials know the severity, and they will never dare to be negligent in the matter of Juntun." ”

The breeze was blowing, the green grass was undulating in the wind, Jiang Anyi turned sideways and smiled at Fan Shiben: "Brother Fan, I see that you are very stable on the horse, and you are no longer like when you first came to Huazhou, and you were no longer in the saddle like when you first came to Huazhou." ”

"I rode a horse every day to patrol the villages and towns, and this equestrian skill has already been practiced." Fan Shiben pointed to the woods at the foot of the mountain five miles away with his hand, and said, "Anyi, why don't we compare the high and low to see who can get to the edge of the forest first." ”

Without waiting for Jiang Anyi to answer, Fan Shiben urged the horse to gallop out like an arrow, leaving a sentence, "The first strike is strong, and Anyi will take the first step." ”
