Not long after the New Year's pass, except for Majiagang, the four magistrates of the county successively sent the situation in the county to the military government yamen in the form of official documents to report on their work.

In the first year, everything was in ruins.

For the first time, several county magistrates reported on their work, and they all wrote a thick stack of official documents, and made unified reports on the common people, cultivating acres of land, collecting taxes, repairing canals and moats, building cities and villages, planning township capitals, industrial production, local specialties, and compiling county chronicles.

Chen Mu could feel from a few pages of paper how hard several magistrates tried too hard to make the debriefing report look better.

After the first three months of difficulty, Changsheng County has enough food to eat, and in autumn and winter, it absorbs the aboriginal people like a whale swallowing a cow, and now has a registered population of nearly 200,000, ranking first among all counties.

In addition to the initial acceptance of nearly 1,000 villages planned by the common people to make the land increase dramatically, Zou Yuanbiao was busy in the following days because of the large number of immigrants, some villages were not suitable for habitation, and some villages were unwilling to cultivate, and finally by the end of the year, there were only 842 villages left under the rule of statistics.

Even so, there are still some villages with more labor and less output, and the people have a difficult life; In some villages, there is a lack of labor and land reclamation, and the people are also having a hard time.

Zou Yuanbiao wrote his plan for Changsheng County in the seventh year of Wanli in his official document, and he hoped to reduce the villages in the county into three cities and 24 townships, and the three cities would be divided into two cities, the city and the port city, and the twenty-four townships would govern 500 villages.

The extra people will either move east to Mexico City or north to the new county, not that Changsheng County is not enough to feed so many people, but that there are too many people and too large a large area to seriously waste the resources in the county.

Because of the excellent development of agriculture in Changsheng, the land is rich in wheat, corn, and all kinds of beans, but the roads are not in good condition, the markets are not prosperous enough, and the climate and lack of carrying livestock make it difficult to store and trade food.

They are able to guarantee food rations, but the rate of commercial food is extremely low.

Grain can be stored in your own warehouse for months, but once you want to pull it out and transport it to Changsheng Market, a rain can make most of the truckload of grain moldy.

Zou Yuanbiao went to great lengths to preserve the county's grain, and all sugar mills, oil mills, and feed mills were opened, and he was eager to turn all crops into cash crops in order to increase the enthusiasm of the people in the county for planting.

Eventually, they all started raising pigs, not only pigs, but also cows, sheep, and turkeys, first making ale mash in the county, and then bringing in a few beer and rum craftsmen from Spain, and by the way, the problem of industrial glass was solved.

But Zou Yuanbiao did these are long-term development to see the return of investment, a year or two later, the sharp increase in the income of Changsheng can be expected, but now in terms of political performance alone, Changsheng is not the best looking one.

Wu Zhongxing, the magistrate of Jincheng, is even more powerful, this county with a literary background opens a bow around Jincheng, gathers more than 130,000 people in the register, digs gold mines and cuts down forests to extract wood, and takes nitrate from the east of the black foot in the north.

Refining 34,000 taels of gold ingots a year, harvesting 79,000 materials of good timber fir wood, and boiling 18,000 catties of nitrate, he did not farm the land, but relied on the Mongolian cavalry under the command of Ma Gui to draw a map of 1,400 miles from north to south and 2,200 miles from east to west.

In fact, there are many problems faced by Changsheng Zou Yuanbiao Wu Zhongxing in Jincheng, but he can't stand the fact that people have mines, even if they don't mention the two large gold and copper mines run by the military government and the four small mines jointly run by the military government and Fujian businessmen, the taxes collected in a year are 2,300 taels of gold and 11,600 catties of copper ingots.

Precious metals and nitrate powder were sent to Chang Sheng, and the garrison had a noble overseer's mansion from Chang Sheng, and he only took care of rations, which was 18,000 times more comfortable than Zou Yuanbiao, and he was thinking about who to find to fight again.

Wu Zhongxing's war against the Blackfoot people had no less impact on the Xiaoxiu of the Hanlin Academy, who was born as a Jinshi, than the establishment of the Nanyang Military Mansion on the Ming Dynasty.

Just like the imperial court suddenly discovered that in this world, in addition to the defensive war against the north, overseas wars can be made by changing their thinking.

Editing Xiu Zhixian also tasted this sweetness, and the battle with the Blackfoot people allowed him to directly harvest thousands of returned slaves, after they became the people of Jincheng, Wu Zhixian found himself invincible in this land, and the various tribes near and left rushed to attach, and then met those tribes that were not easy for others to deal with, and the people who saw him became hospitable.

Trade, negotiation, borrowing, and exploring the road are all very easy to obtain.

said that it was easy to solve, Wu Zhixian felt that this word was not appropriate enough, and before the knife was handed out, the rope was opened by itself.

In Wu Zhongxing's work report, Xiao Xiaoxiu's outlook for next year is to strive to move Magui to 500 miles to the east, and in the future, according to the efficiency of fighting one war a year, move 500 miles to the east every year, and strive to touch the other end of the map as soon as possible.

"Look at how enterprising Wu Zidao is, you can raise pigs here."

Zou Yuanbiao is one of the more miserable county orders, and others only submit a report to the Dongyang Military Government to report on their work, and the military government stipulates that the counties will personally report on their work once every two years, but he is different, and the military government is in his Changsheng County, so he naturally has to report on his work in person.

If you report on your work in person, you will inevitably be ridiculed by Chen Mu.

This has nothing to do with whether he does a good job or not, as long as he comes, Chen Mu will dispel the little pride in his heart.

"I didn't see the expeditions sent to the north and south in the report, nor the battles that took place in Changsheng and the silver mountains in Taxco, so I'll write them again when I go back, and add them all."

What do you mean I'm just raising pigs here?

Zou Yuanbiao is very aggrieved, he has been thinking so hard that he has lost his hair, there are so many cash crops in the county, and all kinds of factories are open, and in the end, this is the evaluation?

"Dashuai, even if there is a mine in Jincheng, but the people of my Changsheng are richer than the people of Jincheng, not to mention, in two years, you see, Changsheng's output can be several times greater than his Jincheng, besides, doesn't Jincheng also raise geese?"

Jincheng does also raise geese, and the order is still given by Chen Mu, not only to make roast geese, but also to provide down to make military uniforms for the Majiagang garrison.

This idea does not come from Chen Mu, it is Li Shizhen in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" proposed that goose down, duck down to make clothes warmer than other materials, by Ye Mengxiong through the second phase of the flag army to send this news, in order to support Qi Jiguang's Northern Expedition on paper, Daming is also rushing to make duck down jackets, goose down jackets.

"Of course I know, but these debriefing reports are not only written for me to see, but also to wait for the third phase of the flag army to come and take them back to the emperor to see, Your Majesty is determined to forge ahead, your approach to Changsheng is naturally right, but it is more important to have the best of both worlds, so that Your Majesty is happy to see it."

"The expedition team should also come up with results as soon as possible, you must know that this is a new continent, not a certain county in the Ming Dynasty, it is good to govern one place, but there are still so many lands that have not been developed, so many lands we do not have a little understanding, this matter is more important at the moment."
