Riding a chopping horse and stepping into the world

Chapter 133
In the small yard in the backyard of the yamen, the birds on the rockery stretched their necks, looking curiously at the humans in a circle below.

"Master, do you still remember where I was saved by you?"

Qiao Shan looked nostalgic, as if recalling something from the past.

"Well, I remember, you and your friends were traveling in Zhao country."

Zhang Tie answered Qiao Shan's question, his heart brightened, "It seems that he discovered it when he was traveling."

And what Qiao Shan said next was just as Zhang Tie guessed.

"During the years when I traveled around the world, I have been to Dali, Shu, Chu, and Tubo."

"When I was in a village in Xiushan County, Dali, I suddenly discovered a strange phenomenon, that is, there was actually a family planting crops in the autumn season, and they were not planting crops such as soybeans."

"I thought it was strange at the time, so I went up to ask and found out that they planted Portuguese tart sets, which were given to them by a foreign monk many years ago."

"The Portuguese tart set can be eaten raw, but it is crispy and delicious, with a sweet taste, and it is also delicious after steaming."

"And it can be grown in sandy soil. The most important thing is that its yield is particularly large, and it can completely replace rice and wheat as staple food."

Hearing Qiao Shan's introduction, a plant instantly appeared in Zhang Tie's mind, that is sweet potato, also known as sweet potato.

Sweet potatoes, also known as sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc., are rich in protein, starch, pectin, cellulose, amino acids, vitamins and various minerals.

Thinking that it might be sweet potatoes, Zhang Tie got excited, got up and hurriedly asked, "Did you bring the seeds?"

Qiao Shan nodded, "At that time, I saw the novelty, so I bought some seeds and asked about the planting of this grape tart set."

Qiao Shan paused suddenly, and said with a sigh: "But the seeds I brought are only enough to plant one mu of land, and I can't plant them in large quantities. If I want to plant them in large quantities, I can only go to Dali to get some more seeds, or cultivate them myself first." A batch of seeds, according to March as a lifetime, in less than two years, the seeds should be enough for the entire Biancheng County to plant."

"Like This?"

Zhang Tie sat down slowly, and couldn't help thinking about the problems in his heart.

Dali is located in the southwest of Yan State. If you want to get there, you must pass through two countries, one is Zhao State and the other is Shu State.

There are only two prefectures in Dali, namely Junzhou and Hezhou, under which there are eight prefectures, four counties and four towns.

Eight prefectures, Shanchan Mansion, Weichu Mansion, Tongshi Mansion, Huichuan Mansion, Jianchang Mansion, Tengyue Mansion, Moutong Mansion, Yongchang Mansion other than the capital of Dali.

The four counties are Dongchuan County, Shicheng County, Heyang County and Xiushan County.

The four towns are Chengji Town in the northwest, Menghe Town in the southwest, Zhenxi Town in the west, and Jining Town in the east.

If you go from Biancheng County to Xiushan County in Hezhou, Dali, the journey is not only long, but also rugged. The trip will take more than half a year, not counting other things.

After recalling the specific location of Dali, Wei Wei sorted out her thoughts, and then said: "Dali is a long way away, and it takes more than half a year to go back and forth, and you only saw their family at that time, and it is impossible to have many seeds. If that’s the case, let’s grow it ourselves.”

"Qiao Shan!"

"The disciple is here!"

"The important task of cultivating this kind of seed is entrusted to you. If you need anything, just report it. You must cultivate this kind of seed within two years, which is enough for the civilians in the entire border county to plant."

Zhang Tie's tone was serious, unconsciously, Zhang Shun and others felt a kind of majesty.

Qiao Shan hugged Zhang Tie, lowered his head, and said loudly: "Master, don't worry, this disciple promises to complete the task!"

Nodding his head, Zhang Tie seemed to think of something again, and said to Yan Beichen and other centurions and the head catcher Yu Yingyou: "By the way, let all the veterans and government servants gather outside the North Gate stronghold tomorrow. I have something to do." To be notified."

The so-called notification of something actually means that Zhang Tie is planning to upgrade all the soldiers that can be upgraded.

During the ten days since Zhang Tie left, all the veterans could be upgraded, as were some miscellaneous disciples and outer disciples. As for the inner disciples, none could be upgraded.

Of course, it is definitely not as simple as just upgrading the soldiers. If it is just a simple upgrade, Zhang Tie does not need to gather all the government servants and veterans together. Naturally, there are other things to do.

"Yes!"

Yan Beichen and other leaders responded with clasped fists.

Zhang Tiehuan looked at everyone present and asked, "Does anyone have any suggestions on making money and food?"

There was another silence, as if there was nothing to say.

Seeing that no one came forward to make suggestions, it seemed that there might be no other good suggestions, so Zhang Tie was ready to proceed to the next meeting.

And just when Zhang Tie was about to speak, He Pojun, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up, clasped his fists in his hands, and said to Zhang Tie: "My lord, I have an immature suggestion, I don't know if it's appropriate to say it or not." speak."

He Pojun's voice was a little uneasy, and he seemed to have mustered up a lot of courage to stand up and speak.

As a newcomer, He Pojun had no idea about his position in Zhang Tie's heart. He felt that he was a little rash in making suggestions, so he seemed uneasy. This was also the mentality of Yu Yingyou and other newcomers.

Zhang Tie, who was about to propose the next topic, glanced at He Pojun curiously, wondering if he had any good suggestions.

"You can safely and boldly say that this place is all your own people."

Afraid that He Pojun didn't dare to say anything for other reasons, Zhang Tie directly gave him a shot of cardiotonic.

Zhang Tie's words indeed calmed down He Pojun, who was still a little uneasy just now. Taking a deep breath, He Pojun spoke again.

"My lord, we can also kill bandits and make money."

"Eradicate bandits?"

"Haven't all the bandits in Biancheng County been wiped out?"

"Are you sure you mean exterminate bandits?"

Everyone below was puzzled, Zhang Tie and Zhang Shun both had thoughtful expressions on their faces, as if they had already thought of something.

However, he still looked at He Pojun quietly, waiting for what He Pojun would say next.

He Pojun affirmed: "Yes, it is to exterminate bandits."

"But I'm not talking about bandits, not bandits in Biancheng County, but bandits in other places."

"Bandits from other places!"

This sentence made everyone react, and they all suddenly realized that Zhang Shun and Zhang Tie had such expressions.

In fact, it's not that everyone is stupid, but they are hindered by the situation in front of them. Unlike He Pojun, who just came from another place, he is very clear about the situation outside.

Indeed, although there are no bandits in Biancheng County, there are still quite a lot of bandits in other counties, especially in the border area.

"However, even if there are bandits in other counties, it is impossible for us to send troops to suppress bandits in other counties, right? Doing so will directly provoke relations and cause trouble."

As a county lieutenant, Liu Yi still knows the things within his scope of duty.

Without an order from above, county soldiers cannot enter the land of other counties in large numbers at will. This is against regulations.

Zhang Tie fully understood, glanced at He Pojun appreciatively, and said to him: "I see, you want me to lead a small number of elites to suppress the bandits, right?"

"Yes, my lord, just like you exterminated bandits in Biancheng County, you can use the same method to exterminate cottages in other counties."

He Pojun nodded, his face brightened, knowing that his proposal had been approved by Zhang Tie.

Bi Yongchun and Yao Yuan on the side were casting envious eyes at He Pojun, thinking in their hearts. "Such a simple thing, why didn't I think of it?"

These two people now want to enter Zhang Tie's eyes and become his capable subordinates. They both know that Zhang Tie, who has magical power, will never live here.

Even if Zhang Tie became a king on his own in the future, neither of them would feel strange.

Zhang Tie can be said to be very satisfied with the proposal of suppressing bandits. Thinking of the experience and wealth brought by the suppression of bandits in Biancheng County, Zhang Tie is very excited and naturally agrees with this proposal.

"Very good, this proposal is very good, Po Jun, sit down."

Zhang Tie first said to He Pojun, with deep appreciation for He Pojun in his tone.

Then he asked the others: "Does anyone have any other suggestions?"

Everyone shook their heads directly.

"In this case, let's talk about the next topic, military and political issues."
