In the eleventh year of the reign, at the beginning of September

Wang Shoutian was dressed in an eight-grade official uniform and inspected the county seat

The area of Jishui County is not large, although the city wall has been dilapidated, but the outline can still be vaguely seen, the city wall is intact, about 10 meters high, the overall area is not large, it is estimated that there are only about 3,000 acres of land, as for the streets below, it has been completely broken.

Very good, Wang Shoutian is still afraid that the county seat is too big and difficult to manage, and now he is very settled.

At this time, it was the time for soup kitchen, and Wang Shoutian had seen these homeless people, dressed in rags, weak and weak, with yellow faces and thin muscles.

Another cauldron was brought out, steaming, and in the county seat, there was a smell of rice porridge wafting over.

Under military law, these homeless people did not dare to fight, and lined up with bowls to receive porridge, and when they received it, they devoured it.

Wang Shoutian looked at the homeless people and said to everyone behind him: "Now the homeless people have finally been separated. ”

Wang Shoutian personally did this, and the displaced people were registered one by one according to the situation of their families, and the homeless and homeless were separated first.

As a result, there were 381 households, and there were more than 500 people who had no homes, plus the original 100 households in the county, adding up to 500 households.

"I divided the displaced people into two teams, one team was managed by He Wulang and the other team was managed by Zhang Yi. ”

"It's all demolished, my lord, although these houses are dilapidated, they are still inhabitable. He Wulang said puzzled.

"The marshal appointed me as a military canton, so naturally he will allocate some farm tools and seeds, and it is said that there are ten cows, but this is not something that can be allocated in a day or two, these homeless people have nothing to do, eat my food, and they have to work for me...... Even if you move from east to west, you have to work. ”

"Demolished, bricks to bricks, wood to wood, useful to classify, if you encounter gold and silver, all handed in, if it is hidden in private, killed. ”

"Yes, my lord!" Naturally, someone below responded.

"Also, these houses have not been popular for a long time, and there were many corpses in the past, and there were many grievances, so it is better to demolish and rebuild them, and if they encounter corpses, they will be buried. ”

"Set aside a piece of land, collect and bury the bones, He Zhong, you will receive this ministry first. Wang Shoutian said to He Zhong, who was following from afar.

"No!" He Zhong didn't dare to say more, so he answered.

"The fruit of adults is benevolent. The people below said neatly.

In ancient times, the grave was a very important thing, and the concept of being buried in the earth was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Listening to this, Wang Shoutian smiled, but his main purpose was to plan the new city, and he liked that the residential areas, markets, government offices, roads, etc., were all in order, and this was also conducive to cleanliness.

Of course, this kind of planning is very simple, it is a simple way to draw a road, build a house on the side of the road, and dig a well.

At this time, the smoke was billowing from outside the city, but it was setting fire to the wilderness outside the city, and some animals and snakes fled in a hurry.

"Let's go out and have a look. "This great victory, hundreds of horses were captured, half of them were handed over, and there were fifty horses, Wang Shoutian had already checked them, but fortunately there were some stallions that had not been castrated, and they had already made up their minds to build a small horse farm.

European farms, mostly use horses to plow, some inferior horses that can't be war horses, can be used as ploughing horses, even ploughing horses can't be ploughing horses, can pull carts!

As for the huge amount of food for horses, it is now possible to mobilize the old and young among the displaced people to cut the grass and dry it.

A dozen people rode out of the city, and they circled around the edge of the water.

Drawing water is also a big river, hence the name of the county seat, now it seems, only a large area of wilderness by the river, faintly there are traces of canals, but they are all in disrepair and abandoned.

"My lord, this piece of soil is all fertile soil, and it is close to the river, as long as you dig some channels, draw some water, and reclaim it, it is all a good field. He Wulang followed behind and said, with some envy in his eyes.

Wang Shoutian's heart moved, the mountain people live in the mountains, not because they like the mountain environment, but because the government and the tooth soldiers are raging, if they can provide a good environment, maybe they can really supplement the county people.

It's just that there is no need to rush this matter now, Wang Shoutian knows the principle of the host and the guest.

"Let's plant wheat first, this thing of dredging and opening the ditch can not be done in a day, if next year, there is time to dredge and open the ditch, you can plant some rice." Wang Shoutian said: "But now, the population is not large, and most of the cultivated fields are on the edge of the city wall, and you can avoid entering the city if you have something." ”

"Also, a kiln can be built on that hillside, and even if you can't burn porcelain, you should burn some adobe bricks and stoneware. ”

Wang Shoutian commanded one by one, and sighed secretly in his heart.

The foundation is just established, and there are many affairs, of course, it is impossible to do it yourself?

However, now here, apart from him, only He Wulang and Zhang Yi know a few words, and He Zhong and the five of them have learned a little, but they have made mistakes and cannot use them now.

Only by yourself.

After thinking about it, he said to He Wulang again: "There is enough food in the army now, but everything else is not enough, I heard that you used to run the waterway and get some business, do you have a way to buy and sell?"

When He Wulang heard this, he said with a smile: "My lord, you have found the right one, we run waterways in the mountains, and we have people on both black and white roads, and we have a doorway to buy whatever we want." ”

"Okay, I'll give you a thousand taels of silver, and you can buy me a few things!"

"First of all, ploughing oxen, then ploughing, and then all those baskets, hoes, axes, shovels, and other tools, buy them and make a list for me!"

As for weapons, let's talk about reality, not to mention the 200 people in the second battalion, even 500 people, they can also be armed, so there is no need to worry about this aspect.

He Wulang listened and said: "No, don't worry, my lord, in three days, within three days, I will bring this batch of goods to my lord, and the price is cheap!"

A week later, a group of people appeared in the county seat.

"Xiaguan Han Rong, I've seen my lord. ”

The man was thirty years old, tall and thin, dressed in a formal official uniform, followed by some carts with some farm tools and seeds, and then oxen.

Wang Shoutian looked at it and found that the number of cattle was not wrong, but none of them looked like strong cows, they looked very thin.

Wang Shoutian frowned, unfolded it again, and said with a smile: "Lord Han has come from afar, it's hard work, these are all delivered, Lord Han, please go down and rest first." ”

When the two entered, they saw that the county town was busy, with a large number of bricks and timber piled up, coming and going, all carrying dustpans and baskets, and many ox carts dragging heavy loads.

Han Rong just looked at it, and saw more than a dozen cows, and was suddenly shocked: "This is?"

"There is a shortage of ploughing cattle here, so the official sent people to buy them everywhere, and finally bought 31 ploughing cattle!" Wang Shoutian said flatly.

As soon as these words came out, Han Rong couldn't help but gasp.

The price of a ploughing ox is now twenty-one heads, and thirty heads is six hundred taels of silver!

"And who they are?"

"These displaced people receive my food, of course they have to work for me, the city has been abandoned for a long time, most of them are haunted houses, when they are demolished and rebuilt, there are bricks and trees to keep, and there is no need to move out, or for the foundation. ”

"The area of the county is only 30 hectares, 3,000 people to do it, but it is also very fast, now the road has been planned, and the homestead has been planned, every five households are a team, ten households are a fire, a fire is a district, dig a well, these are invited craftsmen, specializing in digging wells and building houses. ”

"And the ten fires are one place. Wang Shoutian said with a smile: "This official counts, there are 500 households, and there are five squares built first, depending on this situation, it can be completed this month!"

"Fortunately, Lord Han has brought a lot of farm tools and farming cattle, 3,000 acres outside the city have been reclaimed and planted with wheat, and there is a shortage of farm tools and ploughing cattle, haha!"

Han Rong gasped, it had only been ten days, and he was already in order, it seemed that this person should not be underestimated!

Han Rong glanced at Wang Shoutian and said, "My lord is really confident...... It's just that it costs a lot to rebuild like this, right?"

For his temptation, Wang Shoutian smiled, pretending not to know, and said: "The displaced people are poor, as long as there is food to eat, although the county is dilapidated, but the whole city is demolished, and the materials obtained are not difficult to build these five squares, the only thing consumed is only food." And the last big victory of this official, he beheaded Chen Xiang, and everything else was lacking, that is, there was no shortage of military rations, and with the grace of the marshal, these grains were at the disposal of this official. ”

"In addition to this, he also got some gold and silver, which he sold and bought all his agricultural implements and oxen, so that he had thirty-one oxen. ”

Han Rong's heart sank, he thought about it, and said: "The great man is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, no wonder the marshal has been promoted to the third level in a row, but this place is on the front line, so it is ...... to make such a big move."

"It doesn't matter, the opposite side is the capital of Sichuan, the capital of Sichuan was originally dissatisfied, only eight hundred remaining, after a big defeat, it would be good to have three or four hundred left, Chen Xiang is dead, and it will take time to rebuild the capital of Sichuan, within this year, there is no reason to attack. Speaking of this, Wang Shoutian sneered: "Even if there is an attack, I will gather people according to the city wall to resist, and I will not be afraid of this." ”

Han Rong couldn't say anything anymore and couldn't help laughing.

When they arrived at the temporary homestead, the two parted.

When they got inside, one of the attendants whispered, "My lord, how do you think this is......?

"What else can I do? The handsome man personally ordered me, I can only do something on the goods, I wanted to clamp it down, but I don't want this person to already have a plan, and handle it in an orderly manner, it seems that it can't be clamped. Han Rong glanced at him and said, "Now I can only repay my son truthfully." ”

"Your Excellency said yes!" said the attendant, who was swept away by him, and had to take a step back.

The loss of the son of the handsome Wang Zunzhi is of course a big disaster for him personally, but for the same clan, especially for the nephews of the same clan, it is an opportunity to fall from the sky.

Among the nephews of the Wang family, there are naturally those who have a high voice, and after some consideration, Wang Zunzhi pointed out Wang Xuanzhi, Wang Zhongyi, and Wang Shoutian to join the army, and initially expressed their attitude.

Among the three, Wang Xuanzhi is a descendant, and he is also very close to Wang Zunzhi's kinship, and he has the highest voice, but he doesn't want to go through this battle, and Wang Shoutian, who was originally unknown, stands out.

"Hmph, who told Wang Shoutian to turn defeat into victory, and beheaded the enemy general? This promotion, no one has anything to say, it seems that the internal struggle of the Wang family has not yet reached the time of the foregone conclusion, and I and other foreign ministers should not be involved too deeply. Han Rong came in person, saw the situation, and thought about it in his heart.
