Turbulent Times Chapter 437: Where the soldiers are hidden

(Thank you very much for the generous support and monthly ticket support of 'Haihu 8888', 'apharmy', 'Lonely Hero', 'xmz123456', 'achelless', 'Tian Tian Shang 92'.)

In fact, most of the people in the villages in the Qinling Mountains also make a living by farming, just like outside. If it is reorganized according to the rules of the imperial court, there will be one or two thousand people who can serve as soldiers. Most of the rest are cultivating land in the mountains, and a small number of those who don't like farming rely on hunting to fend for themselves.

Therefore, these family members are actually the most happy to be subdued by Wang Junlin and transformed from bandit soldiers into officers and soldiers. The fields in the mountains are not as good as the fertile fields outside.

When Wang Junlin passed by Tianshui County that day, he found that there was a lot of wasteland in Qingshui County, so he asked the prefect of Tianshui County and Han Ziliang for help. For the officials of Tianshui County and Qingshui County, there are a lot of unowned wasteland around Qingshui County. The people in Feihuzhai came and could support themselves. What their government needs to pay is to give these nearly ten thousand people a status as a decent citizen.

As long as a proclamation proves that the men and women resettled in Qingshui County, Tianshui County are good people, tens of thousands of people can be obtained, and these people also have their own settling expenses, so there is no need for the government to worry about it! This deal, no matter how you look at it, how suitable it is!

"Ziming, for local officials, political achievements have to be the top priority. Within a year, the county's Ding population has nearly doubled. With such a great contribution, the county magistrate of Qingshui would probably laugh in his dreams. If you wake up, you will naturally spare no effort to help you, not to mention the face of Lord Hou is in it, so you must have a clear understanding of the government's attitude, and don't think that all officials are good officials who are dedicated to doing things for the people." Seeing Liu Ziming's great gratitude and appreciation for Qingshui County Magistrate, Xu Jingzong curled his lips and couldn't help but said.

These words are incompatible with what Liu Ziming said. It is undoubtedly another reminder and blow to Liu Ziming to show his detailed understanding of officialdom rules all at once.

A few years ago, there was a very powerful Qiang tribe near Qingshui County. In the past, they dressed up as bandits and went out to rob Han villages many times, but each time they kept the situation within a certain range, and after each robbery, they went out. Drilling into the deep mountains, so the government has been unable to do anything about it. After several years of tossing, the population of Qingshui County has been difficult to increase, and it is mainly concentrated near the county seat. Farther away from the county seat, there are large tracts of unowned wasteland and abandoned villages one after another. Every night, the howling of wolves and wild dogs is endless, and will-o'-the-wisps roll around the deserted village...

Until the great war the year before last, because the Qiang Ge Dao tribe was fooled by Nestorian Bo Duo and the Turks jointly captured Longxi City. After the war, the Sui Emperor was extremely furious and ordered the Qiang tribes in Tianshui and Longxi counties to be brought down. After a ruthless rectification, the Qiang tribe in Qingshui County was also severely damaged and moved to the deep mountains. It's just that more than a year has passed, and the population of Qingshui County hasn't increased much, and there are still many deserted villages and wasteland nearby, which just happens to be cheaper for the people of Feihuzhai.

For the government, if it wants to prosper the market and collect sufficient taxes, it needs more people, and even the population growth of each county and county itself is an important goal for local officials to review their performance. Therefore, Wang Junlin came forward to guarantee that the people who came out of Feihuzhai would not resume their old jobs. The officials of Tianshui County and Qingshui County would only worry that there were not enough people coming out, and they would definitely not justify them because of the background of these people. Forcibly push the great achievements that have already been smashed on his forehead to the outside!

"At that time, Lord Hou changed his mind and placed them here. In fact, the humble official was very agreeable, because it happened to be able to be placed here before winter. As long as they can settle down smoothly, after the beginning of spring next year, It's much easier to handle..." Liu Ziming knew that what Xu Jingzong said was reasonable, but he was wrong, so he didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, but talked about farming.

Wang Junlin nodded and said, "That's right. If we didn't hurry up, how could we catch up with this year's spring sowing! The matter of manipulating the land has always been the most stringent. In spring, it takes three to five days longer, and in autumn, it often means less time." Take 20% of the food!"

"However, Lord Hou, I have something to report to you. Since the people in Feihuzhai have already washed their hands, I thought that the armor and weapons used in the past should be confiscated, but they disagree." Liu Ziming said very seriously.

Wang Junlin's eyes flashed, and he thought that in this imperial court where the imperial power was severely divided by aristocratic families, if he did not have his own armed army, when the enemy really wanted to kill you, he would have no power to fight back. In addition, he is very clear about the trajectory of history, so he made some arrangements in advance. There are three thousand dead soldiers in the White Scorpion Gang in Heishi Mountain, Jincheng County. Where Wang Junlin arranged them, these people are one of his Tibetan soldiers, and the resettlement of people in Qingshui County, Tianshui County, near Wanfeihu Village, is also one of his Tibetan soldiers. Naturally, he couldn't explain these thoughts clearly to Liu Zi. I had to say: "Why should it be confiscated? There are also many bandits and Qiang tribes pretending to be bandits nearby. The place where they settled was robbed by bandits before. What if bandits come again?"

Liu Ziming was stunned for a moment, and wanted to say something. Shen Guang hurried over from outside. Wang Junlin ignored Liu Ziming and said without waiting for Shen Guang to salute, "This is a letter. You should read it first. Afterwards, if you have any questions, just ask them now, and I will answer them for you. After that, you will take my token and personally bring the letter to Heishi Mountain as quickly as possible, and go to the White Scorpion Gang to mobilize them to do something. Specifically how to do it, I have already written it clearly in the letter, after you arrive, you will study and refine your plan with Chen Xuanpeng and Guo Tieqiang, and set off now."

While speaking, Wang Junlin handed the letter to Shen Guang, who read it carefully, asked a few questions, and left quickly.

"Jingzong, prepare five hundred wooden barrels and one hundred chariots and horses in advance. When we arrive in Tianshui City tomorrow, Han Ziliang and I will bring over the fire oil they used to defend the city. It was transported to Majia Town outside Guiqing Mountain in Longxi County within three days. Remember, no matter what method you use, you must never let others know that you are transporting fierce fire oil." Wang Junlin turned his head and said to Xu Jingzong solemnly.

Liu Ziming next to him was shocked when he heard the words, and wanted to ask something, but when he saw Xu Jingzong, the person involved, he agreed without hesitation, and then left to go to work, he was thinking, or reflecting on himself Compared with Xu Jingzong, did he talk too much and ask too many questions? You must know that you are just a staff member beside Lord Hou, and you seem to have overstepped.
