Datang Lingnan King

Chapter 193
In the second year of Zhenguan, on the third day of April, the entire Khitan family joined the Tang Dynasty, and 35 people of the whole family entered the Datang from Yingzhou with a million head of cattle, sheep and horses.

Feng Daiwen, governor of Anxi, led more than 200 officials of four counties in western Liaoning and [-] soldiers to receive them. A large number of villages were established in Yingzhou and Jizhou to resettle the Khitan people.

"Captain, Mohui failed the governor's expectations, please forgive me." Mohui said with a face of shame.

Feng Daiwen watched with satisfaction that the Khitan tribe followed the team to various places honestly. No one made trouble, and they all looked forward to and yearning. After all, the news brought back by the tribe really made them look forward to it. Worried about the collapse of the house under the snow, every meal can be full, it is simply a legendary paradise.

"Why did the county lord say that?" Feng Daiwen asked.

"Hey! Yeluqi brought [-] tribes to the foot of Baishan Mountain to cooperate with the Heishui Mohe tribe. He didn't want to admit that we are Khitan people, and said that I let the Khitan tribe perish." Mo Hui looked melancholy, obviously struggling with himself Right or wrong.

"Why should the county be like this? As long as you lead the clansmen to live a good life in the future, it will naturally mean that you are right. Is it right to let the clansmen suffer from hunger and cold in the ice and snow?" Feng Daiwen frowned and said in relief.

"What the governor said is true. I must let the whole family live a good life and prove that I am not wrong. I also ask the governor to help." Mohui said with a firm face. At this time, Mohui is gone. The wrinkled face was filled with a divine radiance, and Feng Daiwen believed that the Khitan people had another patriarch who was like a saint.

"The county is polite, and it is my unshirkable responsibility to let the people under the rule live a good life." Feng Daiwen looked at Mohui with admiration and said, the most respectable figure in this world is this kind of saintly figure, for the sake of his heart The goal is to give everything.

"Although Yeluqi led the people to leave, please don't embarrass him!" Mo Hui bowed and saluted Feng Daiwen.

I just thought that this kind of person would be willing to give everything for the goal, so I immediately pleaded for Yeluqi Dali.

"You don't have to be like this, as long as they don't come to provoke Datang, I will naturally not embarrass him." Feng Daiwen helped Mo Hui and said seriously.

Mohui also knew that it might not be good in the future, so it could only smile wryly and said: "I hope so!"

"Your Majesty, if Yeluqi is dissatisfied and seduces the Heishui Mohe tribe or Goguryeo to attack, I'm afraid it will be a bit difficult to guard with the current personnel. I would like to ask the Khitan tribe to choose [-] young and strong cavalry to guard the four. The county will not let them go out to attack other places, what do you think." Feng Daiwen thought about it and said to Momo.

"It doesn't matter, I will personally select [-] young men and give them to the governor, but the governor must ensure that they will not be allowed to sacrifice indiscriminately." Mo Hui heard that it was only for defense and would not have him, and said, looking at Feng Daiwen intently.

"Of course, to be honest, even if they want to attack other places, they don't need to go out. The soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are all looking forward to going to battle to kill the enemy. You must know that the imperial court rewards military achievements very generously.

Moreover, the weapons and armor of the Khitan people are really crude at present, but there are not many soldiers in western Liaoning, and they cannot defend a wide area. If someone invades, as long as they are blocked, they will naturally let him come and go. " Feng Daiwen said proudly.

Mohui looked eagerly at the soldiers who came to maintain order. They were all men in armor and steel knives in their hands. He couldn't help but swallowed and asked: "The Duduwu clan is young and strong, should we also be equipped with such weapons?" Sophisticated weapons?"

Feng Daiwen glanced at him and said as a matter of course: "Of course, the official said that joining Datang will treat everyone equally. As long as they pass the training, they will be uniformly distributed with the best steel knives and the hardest armor."

"Haha, that's fine, as long as the governor doesn't let them go to death intentionally, the Khitan men don't have a single coward, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with charging for the governor." Mo Hui said, patting his chest.

"Of course I believe it, but although they are in good shape, they have been malnourished after all, and they have to replenish their bodies. Don't worry, the county magistrate, I will definitely raise them very strong and train them into bears in a short time. He is a gentleman." Feng Daiwen looked at the Khitan people who had just finished their nesting and were all disheveled.

Although Mohui didn't know what caused the malnutrition, they could understand that their life was too poor. They couldn't help but said in shame: "The Khitan people have always lived in extremely cold places, and they don't know much about planting. They suffer from hunger all year round."

Feng Daiwen patted Mohui on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, the county lord, I guarantee that from now on, the Khitan tribe will not go hungry, and you will be their most wise patriarch."

"Then follow the auspicious words of the governor, and more than 30 Khitan people will obey the governor at any time." Mohui said moved.

……

With the participation of more than 30 Khitan people, the reclaimed farmland this year will inevitably need to be wider. Old Farmer's Guide.

The Khitan people live in warm houses and eat well every day. Although the land is not their own yet, they have been told that after two years they learn to farm the land, it will be distributed to them, and they only need to pay a little tax every year.

Therefore, the Khitan people are very enthusiastic about farming. The elderly and infirm people all go to designated places to graze sheep. It is said that there is no need for grazing since winter, and the sheep will be locked up for feeding.

Although I don’t understand it, just do it. Whoever makes himself not as smart as the Han people will definitely not be wrong to listen to them, otherwise there is so much food there.

……

It has to be said that there is great strength in numbers. Except for some confusion in the first few days, the Khitan people gradually learned to obey. From the initial communication with gestures, now the young and smart are able to say a few simple words.

This is also Feng Daiwen's arrangement. Every night after dinner, people in every village will be asked to sit together and learn Chinese for half an hour, and then Khitan people and Han people will come out to perform at least one person every day.

Through continuous integration, the Khitan people have become more and more integrated into the life of the Tang Dynasty. When they see Han people, they will say "Hello!"

The first thing to plant is wheat. The weather in western Liaoning is cold, and there is no winter wheat to grow. Usually, it is planted in April and harvested in September. The seeds are provided by Lingnan. Feng Daiwen was worried that he would not adapt to the weather, so he used half of the grain in Guanzhong. .

The whole people farm together, and they must plant more than single families. Under the planned reclamation, a total of 600 million mu of wheat has been planted.

Then there was farming, because farming was more troublesome than farming, and a lot of water was needed, so there were only 300 million mu of land in total, and rice was planted, and rice seeds were planted everywhere. Rice from Guanzhong, Jiangnan, Liaoxi and Liaodong originally, and third-grade rice, the two crops were planted separately.

Feng Daiwen adopted the method of raising seedlings first, then planting, and finally transplanting. First, grow seedlings in the greenhouse, then plant the seedlings densely, and then transplant when they are one foot high.

Not only is it conducive to the growth of rice, but it is also more convenient for multiple people to cooperate, and there is no need to rush out of the rice field, plow out part of the field first, and then slowly plow out the rest of the field.
