After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

Everyone’s eyes gradually became fanatical!

"Then someone asked, without taxation, how can our own county government in Lan County operate?"

Many people were so excited by Ming Xiaoshuang's speech that they just wished he could speak faster.

"So, this piece of land between Ye County and Lan County was originally planned to be opened up. Part of the land was rewarded to the soldiers guarding the city wall, and part of it was used as tax revenue for Lan County. In fact, it's a coincidence that you came here, as you can see When we arrived, our preliminary survey work was in full swing, so after receiving the order from the city lord, we simply surveyed all the land that could be used as farmland along the river. Our research team fully considered the location and size of the land, Factors such as slope, water source, sunlight, etc., starting from the land you are standing on and extending for tens of kilometers on both sides, are our fields in the future! The city owner also gave this place a new name, called the First Demonstration Base of New Rural Areas .”

Someone immediately realized that this was the inscription on the plaque on the pavilion.

Someone asked: "Why is it the first base and where is the second?"

"Is there anyone else coming?"

Ming Xiaoshuang explained: "Jinzhou Prefecture was severely hit by the disaster last year. According to our reliable intelligence sources, there are at least ten or two hundred thousand refugees in Jinzhou Prefecture. These refugees either starved to death or froze to death, but there are still some people They must have survived the winter and are coming to our warm land of Lan County! As long as they come, they will be the same people of Lan County as you are today! As long as they come, they will all be people of Lan County! As long as they come, they will all be from Lan County! Now that he is here, we will allocate his land to him so that he will no longer be homeless and live an upright life!"

After a few words, some of the refugees' eyes turned red.

"Master Shuang is right! You are from Lan County when you come here! We are all brothers and sisters!"

"Yes, as long as we come here, we are all neighbors, and we must help each other!"

Even the Xu family was quite touched.

Ming Xiaoshuang saw that his emotions were almost heightened, so he continued: "So the land we are standing on will be our new home from now on! We will open up wasteland and farm here, build houses, marry wives and have children!"

Someone immediately asked again: "Since the city lord promised to divide the fields, why doesn't he want to divide the fields? We can feel at ease!"

This topic was indeed the most concerning to the refugees. As soon as this person's words came out, almost all the refugees immediately echoed.

"Yes, since the fields will be divided sooner or later, why not do it first! This will also give us something to look forward to!"

"This brings us all here. We don't know which piece of land belongs to which family. How can we open up wasteland!"

"That's right. The land that was opened up was not able to grow food in the first two years. It was divided early. What arrangements do you have and what do you want to plant? It's better to arrange it in advance, right?"

"There are also farm tools for clearing wasteland. We can't open up wasteland with our bare hands. I see that there are many grasses and trees around here. It is not easy to open up wasteland. Without farm tools, we must have cattle, horses or small boards. A car or something like that?”

"You still want farm tools? Which place can provide land reclamation equipment for tens of thousands of people? Don't embarrass me too much, Mr. Shuang!"

The refugees began to discuss in a flurry again. Fortunately, Ming Xiaoshuang's trumpet was loud enough, so he could barely calm them down.

"The city lord made a deliberate decision not to divide the fields first but to open up wasteland first. There are two reasons why he did this. First, the work of dividing the fields for 40,000 people will take several months anyway. There must be constant quarrels among you. The owner said his field was not good, and the west member said his field was far away from the river. If he pulled it back and forth, it would waste time in clearing land and easily cause disputes!"

"The second reason is that because there is no division of land, all people will treat all the land here as their own farmland to contribute. Invisibly, it will also help those who have no men in the family or whose labor is not high. In this way The efficiency is actually faster.”

Ming Xiaoshuang answered one after another in an orderly manner.

"And our city lord has a method of composting, so you don't have to worry. It will only take a year or two after the land is cleared. As long as you adopt the city lord's method of composting, you can quickly fertilize this field!"

Huo, good fellow, when it comes to farming and composting, the refugees are even more confused and can't hold their tongues.

The fields opened by the ancients had to be cultivated for several years to fertilize the land, not to mention how energy-consuming it was to clear the land. The land had to be cleared of large and small stones, vegetation and trees, and then all the land had to be turned over to increase the dredability of the land. , and composting is needed to cultivate the land. It will take at least three to five years to complete the process.

Ming Xiaoshuang had no choice but to order people to play gongs and drums.

——Bang bang bang!

The sound of gongs echoed in the valley.

Everyone finally stopped talking.

Ming Xiaoshuang said it was because his mouth was dry, and then he realized that Xu Zhenying used to look at the scenery on the stage, but in fact, his throat was almost hoarse.

It’s no wonder that Xu Zhenying doesn’t go out in person to mobilize unless it’s an important occasion. He almost always lets his right and left hand draft drafts in advance and memorize them before taking the stage.

Ming Xiaoshuang used to think that this was an opportunity for their subordinates to show off.

Now it seems, huh, the city lord clearly doesn’t want to speak with a loud voice!

"I can understand that you question our city lord. But no matter what the effect, it is imperative to reclaim wasteland! We also have sent people to find the farm tools and livestock you want! Please hold on for the next two days. , we use local materials, there are mountains and forests behind, some of them are wood and bamboo, and some farm tools can be made of wood, so we need to prepare for emergencies first.”

Qian Zhenniang quietly asked Xu Yinxi: "The most efficient ones are iron farm tools, but tens of thousands of people use them. Where do we get so many farm tools? I haven't heard the city lord mention them before."

Xu Yinxi smiled and woke her up, "Isn't there your good sister Feng'er? I heard that she showed off her talents like a fish in the sea as soon as she went south. She has only been here for a long time, and she has earned ten thousand taels of silver. , this earning ability is probably the same as that of the original city lord. The city lord has asked her to purchase a batch of farm tools first, and then look for mines for us. "

Qian Zhenniang was sincerely happy for Feng'er, "That girl was lucky enough to study with the city lord for a period of time. In the final analysis, the city lord trained her well! Did you and I ever think that we would have such a high-spirited moment like now?"

That's right.

The two people were filled with emotion for a moment.

"Let me emphasize discipline again!" Ming Xiaoshuang said this, his voice obviously hoarse, "Everyone is subject to a work-point system. Those who do hard work in frontline land reclamation receive twenty work-points a day. Those who help in the logistics, such as cooking, Ten work points such as laundry are calculated on a household basis. For example, if your family has your mother-in-law, your son, and your mother, then the work points of the four people are added together and settled. These work points can be used to exchange for food, fields, and House! But! But!"

Seeing that the refugees couldn't help but talk, Ming Xiaoshuang quickly stopped them: "But if there are bonus points, there will be deductions. For example, points will be deducted for gossiping, slacking off, and fighting. The details of the deductions will be given later. Let the group leader tell you! You have to remember it all, so you don’t have to come to me for deducting points! Finally, the fields are divided according to work points. Those with more work points can choose more fields! In short, you You can think of work points as money. The more work points you earn, the more money you have, and you will always be useful in the future!"

This time everyone understood.

"Xiao Shuangye, how many work points will be exchanged for an acre of land?"    "It depends on how much you open up wasteland. The more you open up wasteland, the more you will get in the future. In short, you are all working for yourself now. As long as you work more , I will definitely be allocated more fields than others in the future!"

Everyone nodded.

Someone else asked: "Are there any extra points?! Master Xiaoshuang just said that points will be deducted for fighting. So if I persuade them, can you give me processing points——"

"That's a good question!" Ming Xiaoshuang couldn't help but praise him. He finally understood why the city lord liked smart people. Look, before he even started talking, someone bumped into him.

"Our city lord likes smart people and religious people. We have a Scientology Church in Lan County. You don't need to burn incense and pray, nor do you need to donate any incense money. As long as you join our Scientology Church, memorize and recite our dogma , if you pass the exams of our beginner class, intermediate class, and advanced class, the treatment will be almost the same as mine!"

Everyone in the square was in an uproar.

Everyone in the Xu family had a hard time holding back their laughter.

It's also thanks to Xu Zhenying's mischief that he even thought of such a name for promoting narrowness.

But everyone had to admire this move.

If you just tell them to learn, I'm afraid not many will be willing to read and write. But as soon as they became religious, everyone immediately became fanatical!

"Regardless of men and women, those who pass the junior class exam can gain five additional work points every day! For the intermediate class, there is no need to open up wasteland, we will allocate fields directly to you! If you are in the advanced class -"

Ming Xiaoshuang paused deliberately, and the refugees all stared at his mouth! The eyes are becoming more and more fanatical!

"If you're in the advanced class, the city lord will directly let you work in the yamen, and you'll be paid at least one tael of silver per month! This time it's not just work points, it's real money!"

As soon as Ming Xiaoshuang said these words, everyone was excited and chattering non-stop.

"Xiao Shuangye, what you say is serious. As long as you believe in that Scientology religion and pass the exam, you will no longer be a farmer? How can you still have an official position?"

"Oh my god, is this a pie-in-the-sky thing? What is Scientology? Does it have many teachings? My mother used to believe in Buddhist scriptures and burn incense every morning and evening. She copied a thick stack of Buddhist scriptures! "

"I know this. I went to the city before and heard people in the city say that they all believe in this religion. What else do they need to learn about arithmetic and pinyin? It is said that as long as people believe in Scientology, their brains will become smarter. Especially the little ones, they learned calligraphy much faster after believing in this teaching!"

Ming Xiaoshuang raised his hand to stop everyone from whispering, and said: "That's right! The teachings are very simple, much simpler than the content of Buddhist scriptures. Even children and old people can learn it by heart! If you can't memorize it, that's you. There is no sincerity! When we work in the future, we will whip our backs anytime and anywhere. If we answer well, there will be additional rewards!"

The people in the square were going crazy and couldn't listen to Ming Xiaoshuang's last words. Their minds were already full of food, land reclamation, religion, money, etc., and they looked very enthusiastic.

The team leader got the order, dispersed them, and brought them all to their corresponding points to start working.

The logistics team started setting up pots to cook.

Qian Zhenniang looked at Xu Yinxi on the side with a frown, and couldn't help but ask: "The land reclamation work is going so smoothly, why do you still look sad?"

"Others don't know, don't we two know? Now Lan County seems to be prosperous, but in fact it has fallen into the abyss. Where will the food and grass for more than 50,000 people be found? I am really worried now. In more than ten days, Our granary in Lan County will be empty, and then this group of refugees will fall into riots! The foundation that the city lord finally built will be destroyed!"

Qian Zhenniang also immediately became melancholy and worried, "Is there no other way? For example, bringing food in from outside?"

"There is no surplus food near Jinzhou Mansion. Even if you go there with money, you can't buy it. Unless you go to Xingyuan Mansion, but that is too far, and the loss on the road will be very serious. It is simply not worth the loss. The lights in the city lord's study these days If she doesn't take a break, she must be worried about food."

Qian Zhenniang bit her lower lip tightly and ran out of ideas for a moment, so she could only pray: "I just hope the city lord can come up with an idea quickly."

Xu Yinxi was inexplicably irritated by Qian Zhenniang.

What's the use of hoping and praying.

You have to rely on yourself for everything.

No, she has to help find a solution together.

She must not let the rebellion be stillborn because of food problems.

The work of dividing fields and opening up wasteland must be done well, and the composting method mentioned by the city lord must also be promoted to all villages in Lan County. Only when the fields are fertilized will the crops grow faster, and they will no longer be stuck with the problem of food and grass in the future. .

----------------

Wang Sanniang just took two days off and rushed back home without stopping.

When she returned to Wang's house, even the doorman almost didn't recognize her.

She was dressed in plain clothes, with mud spots and dust everywhere on her clothes.

She has returned from a dusty life. She seems taller, thinner, and darker. Her eyes are as bright as black pearls on the grassland. She is carefree in her movements. She is heroic when she dismounts. A girl from the Wang family raised in a boudoir.

Especially the long knife at the waist, which adds a touch of heroism when moving around.

The woman turned over and dismounted, threw the whip in her hand, and said in a clear voice: "Go on! Feed this girl's horse!"

The boy looked at her blankly for several times, then realized what he was doing, and immediately reported happily: "Master, Madam! The third lady is back! The third lady is back!"

Wang Sanniang sighed.

As expected, no matter where she goes, people like her.

I remember that she was dividing fields in Ye County a few days ago, and the refugees also liked her very much. When they met, they called her "Instructor Wang!", which was extremely affectionate!

The first one to come out of the house was her eldest brother. When they met, he laughed and teased her: "I'm dark and fat! But I'm also energetic! How is the work of dividing the fields in Ye County? I heard you did a good job." Not bad, letters of commendation from the county government have been sent to my home, please tell me about the interesting story of dividing the fields with my brother!"
