After everyone dispersed, only Deng Rubai and Xu Xingxia were left in the hall.

Deng Rubai stood up and walked towards the small flower hall next to him, and Xu Xingxia also followed.

"Sit down!" After Deng Rubai sat down by himself, he said casually to Xu Xingxia. He spoke in a somewhat low tone, as if he couldn't let go. If you listen carefully, you can still taste it, and he hopes to keep a certain distance from Xu Xingxia. In fact, Deng Rubai never knew how he should face Xu Xingxia.

For Xu Xingxia, Deng Rubai's feelings are actually very contradictory. Xu Xingxia can do things, there is no doubt about it. If he is a person who likes to make military achievements, a subordinate like Xu Xingxia will undoubtedly be his greatest help. The head of the Tartar is constantly handed over, and his official position as the commander of the guard is estimated to be continuously improved. With thousands of Tartar heads in hand, it shouldn't be difficult to be promoted to the rank of commander.

However, Xu Xingxia is very capable of causing trouble, there is no doubt about it. He always doesn't play according to common sense, and he always doesn't do things according to the rules. He didn't care about his boss at all. He dared to despise even the most powerful people. If someone else infringes on his interests, he will inevitably get double the crazy revenge. He even likes to take extreme measures and have no idea what the consequences will be. Wang Shoulu's death is a typical example.

Such a person made Deng Rubai very frightened. Generally speaking, the more capable people are, the more destructive they are. With a surname like Xu Xingxia, it is estimated that the chances of causing trouble are much more than the opportunities for meritorious service. Deng Rubai was afraid that one day, he would also be involved. If it is not very necessary, Deng Rubai does not want to maintain too close contact with Xu Xingxia. However, he didn't want to go against Xu Xingxia and attract his hatred for himself.

Those who can use Xu Xingxia well must be very human. Deng Rubai felt that he was still a normal person, and since he was a normal person, he could not continue to lead Xu Xingxia. The only option is to kick him to another guard and let him harm others. This time, Xu Xingxia was transferred from the avant-garde to Zuotunwei, Deng Rubai really wanted to thank God for the Buddha, this troublemaker finally didn't have to continue to go around under his command.

It is estimated that he can also sleep peacefully tonight. At the very least, the future Ningxia avant-garde will not have any great achievements, and there will be no major faults. He Deng Rubai was originally such a surname, and the officers at all levels under his command were basically such surnames. Only this Xu Xingxia is completely different. His sudden appearance made a mess of the Ningxia avant-garde. Thankfully, it's back to normal now.

"What do you command?" Xu Xingxia sat down, straightened his waist, and asked solemnly.

"From today on, you will be a member of Ningxia Zuotunwei." Deng Rubai said slowly.

"Please rest assured, Ningxia avant-garde will always be the maiden family of his subordinates. As long as my subordinates are free, I will definitely come back often. Xu Xingxia said seriously.

"No, you must not come back! Don't come back! Deng Rubai's heart couldn't help but shake his head quietly. He didn't want Xu Xingxia to regard Ningxia avant-garde as his maiden home, and he didn't want Xu Xingxia to come back to see it "often". He prefers that there is no connection between Ningxia Qianwei and Xu Xingxia. The best thing is that when the two meet in the future, they pretend not to know each other at all.

The guy in front of him is just a hundred households, and he is already jumping up and down. For a while, Helekin, Mo Yuegen, and Qingwangfu for a while, all the heavyweights provoked. Now that he has become a thousand households, he is afraid that the entire town of Ningxia will be demolished by him. God knows, after he does a thousand households, what perverted things will he do? It's not good, Deng Rubai's heart is not good, and he really can't withstand such a toss.

"Don't forget the three-year covenant." Deng Rubai said.

"My subordinates don't dare to forget." Xu Xingxia was in good spirits and said awe-inspiringly.

The so-called three-year covenant means that in three years, they will raise their own funds, prepare their own materials, mobilize their own people, build the passes of Zhenyuan Pass, Da Bangkou, and Chimukou, and station troops on the passes. As long as these three passes are all closed, it will not be so easy for the Tartars to go south from the north of Ningxia Town. As for the Karon Mountain Gorge, there is no need for a pass at all, it is enough to garrison a musket team in the beacon pier.

"After the three levels are repaired, the fields around the Black Mountain camp are all yours. The land north of Weizhen Fort and north of Zhenshuo Fort is also yours. The Ningxia Metropolitan Division and the Chief Military Officer Yamen have all received relevant instructions not to pay attention to your territory. Deng Rubai said again.

"Thank you, sir!" Xu Xingxia said subconsciously. Deng Rubai gave himself 3 million acres of land with a fluttering sentence, which is really too generous. Not 30,000 acres, not 300,000 acres, but 3 million acres. Three million acres of land is not a small amount! It is almost equivalent to the jurisdiction of a county in later generations. He surprised him. When did Deng Rubai become so generous?

"This is what the Governor of the Three Sides, Lord Huang, means." Deng Rubai explained.

"Lord Huang?" Xu Xingxia felt a little surprised again. Lord Huang is naturally the governor of the three sides, Huang Kezhang. He actually said so many things to Deng Rubai? It can be inferred from this that his own Zhenshuo Fort thousand households are indeed Huang Kezhang's final word. At one time, the surname assigned 3 million acres of land to his own name, and only his power can do it.

"Don't be happy yet, Lord Huang is also conditional." Deng Rubai said again.

"Please elaborate." Xu Xingxia straightened his face and said solemnly. He knew that there was no such big toad jumping on the street, and there was no such cheap thing in the world. Huang Kezhang has assigned these 3 million mu of land to his own name, and he must have reaped benefits. With the shrewdness of the Trilateral Governor, he must have calculated carefully.

Three million acres of land is not a small amount. The total area of the Ming Empire's fields is only 8 million hectares (about 800 million acres). Today's emperor's favorite son, King Fu, when he was in Luoyang, the emperor gave him the first time that the land was only 200,000 mu. Later, Fuwang's land production continued to increase, and in the end it was only one million acres. With the order of the governor of the three sides, Xu Xingxia had the equivalent of three blessed kings.

Of course, King Fu's land and Xu Xingxia's land are completely different things. King Fu's property is King Fu's private property, which belongs to him alone and belongs to private ownership. If King Fu dies, the property belongs to his son. If there is no serious crime such as rebellion, the state cannot take it back. In other words, these properties, if there is no accident, will always belong to King Fu and his children and grandchildren.

As for the land under Xu Xingxia's name, it is actually the land of the entire Zuotunwei Houqianhu, and in terms of surname, it is still shared. Xu Xingxia has the right to control and use the land, and the ownership is still owned by the Wei Army. After he owned this field, he needed to recruit a large number of military households to enrich the thousands of households after Zuotunwei. If Xu Xingxia dies, these fields will be assigned to other people's names. Xu Xingxia's son, only a very small part.

In addition, Fuwang's fields are all high-grade fertile fields, which are the best fertile fields in Henan, Huguang, Jiangsu, Anhui and other places, and the output of grain is quite high. The fields on Xu Xingxia's side are all barren. Due to the ravages of the Tatar cavalry, some of these lands have been abandoned for fifty years. If you want to re-cultivate, the initial investment will be considerable. Even if farming is re-cultivated, grain production may not increase all at once.

Sure enough, Deng Rubai said slowly: "Lord Huang's meaning is to ask you to hand over 500,000 stone of grain every year after three years, can you do it?" ”

Xu Xingxia pondered carefully and did not answer immediately. Of the 3 million mu of land allocated to him by Huang Kezhang, it is estimated that 2 million mu can be used to grow rice and wheat. According to the calculation of the annual output of one stone of grain per mu, the total output is about two million stones. Huang Kezhang's breath is really big, and he will lose a quarter of his mouth. He was tired and tired to get such a little harvest, and when his old man opened his mouth, he took out a quarter, which was just too terrible!

It is estimated that Huang Kezhang, as the governor of the three sides, was also overwhelmed by the heavy supply of money and food. As a matter of fact, the grain output of Yulin Town, Guyuan Town, Gansu Town, and Ningxia Town, which he is responsible for, is seriously low, except for Ningxia Town, which is slightly higher. Ningxia Town is still not self-sufficient, let alone the other three towns. Especially in the distant town of Gansu, food is more important than people!

A large amount of grain needs to be transported from outside, and the cost is high, not to mention, the supply of grain is still unstable. In the event of a large-scale military rebellion due to the problem of money and food, he, the governor of the three sides, will definitely be to blame. The fundamental reason for the outbreak of the Shaanxi Uprising in later generations was that the supply of money and food for the Weisuo Army was in arrears for too long, and the soldiers could not bear it anymore, and finally rioted. As a result, a large pile of dry firewood was quickly ignited, and finally the mighty Shaanxi rebel army was formed, which finally buried the Ming Dynasty. Huang Kezhang opened his mouth, and it was estimated that he was cornered.

However, Xu Xingxia will not refuse such a condition. The yield per mu is one stone, which is just a general level, and if he gives a little guidance, the yield per mu will increase to about two stones, which should not be a big problem. The fields of the Ningxia Plain are still relatively fertile, and the upper limit of grain yield per mu is definitely more than two stones. Isn't there a cow named Song Yingxing? It is possible to find a way to kidnap him, let him concentrate on the study of agricultural science and technology, actively promote new technologies, and increase the yield per mu to two and a half stones, or even three stones.
