Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 189 Counting Khitan
In order to comfort the little concubine's homesickness, and to have enough meat to supplement the soldiers' physical consumption, Feng Daiwen decided to conduct a training session and conduct winter hunting.

Arriving at the target that has already been explored, a mountain of 500 people, ask to see which group has captured the most prey, and only beasts are allowed to use knives, arrows, and other small prey try their best to survive.

Following Feng Daiwen's order, the animals in the mountains of the four counties suffered disasters, and the mountains were swept away like plowing holes. Bears, tigers, foxes, wolves, leopards, hares, and minks were hunted down in large numbers, and there were no wild deer. All demanded to be captured alive.

Due to the cold weather, the deep and high places of the mountains did not go hunting, which can be regarded as leaving life for the animals.

Substituting hunting for training, using hunting instead of training, and supplementing meat. Feng Daiwen expected to spend two months on the hunt. After observing for a few days, he found that there were no accidents. He asked Feng Daihuo and Xi Junmai to lead the team. Return to Pingzhou by yourself.

On December 25th, Pingzhou's temporary governor's mansion, the chief officials of the four counties all came to report their work and the arrangements for the coming year.

The prefects of Yingzhou and Tanzhou have been dismissed due to inaction. Quan Wanji is concurrently the prefect of Yingzhou, and Yu Zhining is concurrently the prefect of Tanzhou.

"You gentlemen have really worked hard in the past few months. I am very grateful. The last time I returned to Chang'an, the sage also expressed his affirmation of your efforts. In the future, there will be rewards." Feng Daiwen said first.

"Share your worries, this is your duty, I dare not praise you as a saint." Everyone stood up and said to Chang'an.

"After the beginning of spring, spring plowing is the most important thing. Because Pingzhou needs a lot of land for experimental fields, even if the output has to be kept as seeds, the other three counties will try their best to grow food next year." Feng Daiwen and the others sat down again Said after the next.

"According to the command of the governor, 300 million mu of land has been plowed before winter, and after the beginning of spring, it can be sown after plowing once, and a large amount of agricultural fertilizer has been accumulated, and only after sowing is fertilized, all land will be intensively cultivated. According to the statistics of the subordinates , according to the current population of the three counties, 300 million mu is the limit that can be planted, including military settlements." Ma Zhou has been managed by Shuofang, and now he has a very clear understanding of farming, and the two of them have cooperated for a long time, and they can follow the law well. Feng Daiwen wanted to do it, and the overall planning was naturally arranged by him.

"It's not enough. I want to hire at least 10 Khitan people to farm the land. What do you think?" Feng Daiwen asked after thinking about it.

"The governor's 10 people, isn't it too many? If one is not good, everyone will be blamed if there is a big mess!" Yu Zhining said worriedly.

"As Yu Changshi said, this official has also considered it. You can choose a few places to build villages. As long as the Khitan people can't enter the city, they will not be afraid of anything, and they are distributed in three counties. If they don't gather together and cause trouble, it won't be too big. The most important thing is to use more women, I don't trust the Khitan people, so I don't care about their tribe's comfort." Feng Daiwen explained confidently.

Several people lowered their heads and pondered for a while, Quan Wanji clasped his fists and said, "The governor is very thoughtful, I can't wait much longer."

"Quan Changshi won the award. Everyone is thinking about whether there is a better way. Other ways are fine. Everyone can speak freely." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"Zhou thought it would be better to let all the Khitan workers go home at the end of the year." Ma Zhou said with a roll of his eyes.

"Wonderful, I'm giving you a big reward!" Wei Ting said with high fives.

"It's better to arrange for soldiers to escort." Quan Wanji continued.

"There are a lot of carriages transporting goods, why don't we organize to help transport the money and food they earned back." Yu Zhining said with a smile.

A few people talk to each other, and a plan is immediately perfected.

"Haha, it really is that the hero sees the same thing. I have prepared a lot of fish, canned food, fruits and vegetables, frosting sugar, and salt. I don't know if these are enough as gifts. In addition, I have prepared a lot of porcelain for the Morocco. To thank their clansmen for their contribution to Datang." Feng Daiwen said with a big laugh.

"I'm afraid the governor had already planned this a few months ago, and I really admire it." Du Zhenglun put the matter together, and immediately understood that Feng Daiwen had already planned to annex Khitan. , secretly surprised, but also very admired said.

"Where there, Du Changshi won the award, but the Khitan people came to him. I just made a temporary idea. You need to go to Khitan for this matter." Feng Daiwen said with a smile.

"Haha, the governor is not so clever, and he is so proud, it makes us feel ashamed. I will leave the gift-giving to the lower officials. Don't worry, the governor will handle it properly." Du Zhenglun clasped his fists and said.

"Then there is a long history of Laodu, but the journey is icy and snowy. I will ask Chen Hu to accompany you to protect your safety. In addition, I will notify the Mohui in advance and ask him to send someone to meet you." Feng Daiwen thought about it.

"Thank you, Commander." Although Du Zhenglun knew that the journey was not too dangerous, he thanked him very gratefully.

"Haha, it seems that more villages will be built in the beginning of spring. After all, Khitan still has a population of several hundred thousand." Ma Zhou was sure that the Khitan people would not be able to escape the scheme.

"Haha, I will suggest that the Khitan people should take care of the Turkic people." Feng Daiwen is also confident that the Khitan people can't refuse the superior life of the Tang Dynasty. Even if someone objects, they probably won't be able to organize most of them. After all, it's easy to go from frugal to extravagant. Otherwise.

……

The fishing net has been cast, how can the fish in the net escape, even if there are fish that slip through the net, they are just small fish and shrimp.

On December 28, all the Khitan people in Pingzhou happily packed their bags and followed the escort team on their way home.

Hundreds of horse-drawn carriages spread out mightily, escorting soldiers in front and back. The Khitan people followed the two sides of the convoy very consciously, smiling happily when they saw the food and supplies loaded on the carriages, and discussed how much they could get.

At the same time, they are also envious of the wealth of Datang, because they saw with their own eyes the people of Datang who worked together, and the rewards were more generous, but they did not complain, because the government said that they are not from Datang, and if they join Datang in the future, they will be the same treatment.

After the discussion, Feng Daiwen not only told them that they can continue to come in the spring of the next year, but also that the treatment will be more generous. He also collected many small household items from several counties and rewarded them, such as bamboo baskets, needles and threads, and other small things. It not only made the Khitan people very happy, thank you very much, but also greatly stimulated the consumption in several counties, so that many small business people and hawkers could celebrate the New Year happily.

　Thank you Zui Qingcheng for your great reward, and I will offer it in a new update
