Jiangmen Tianjiao: Reborn with funny ancestors

Xu Xiuyuan and Lu Dingfeng supported the idea of ​​a "food search team", but did not understand the monthly salary of one tael.

Lu Dingfeng pulled Feng Jia aside and asked: "One tael of silver per month, isn't this the same as the new recruits in the Ganzhou camp?

The eldest lady asked these people to go to the grasslands to look for food. Why not just dispatch the Ganzhou camp? "

Before coming, Chu Tianjiao told Feng Jia what he should say.

Feng Jia said to Lu Dingfeng: "Sangpai, the eldest lady praised you for doing a good job in Tianshui disaster relief!

You ask Magistrate Xu to send a summons and ask whether the victims should be dispersed and relocated.The eldest lady did this to disperse the migrating victims.

If these people become familiar with the grassland and are willing to move their families to the grassland, the state pastoral office will arrange for people to move their whole family to the Beihuang Prairie.

The 'food hunting team' has to go hunting on the grassland, which is very dangerous. They are given one or two silver wages in order to accommodate their families. "

Lu Dingfeng nodded: "Moving to the grassland to graze is indeed a solution.

There are wild wolves, bison, antelopes and other wild animals on the grassland. It would be a good thing to hunt some for meat.

It's just that these victims have no fighting capacity, so they might as well send out the army. "

Feng Jia didn't say anything more.

Chu Tianjiao didn't specifically tell Sang Bao to hide it, but Feng Jia felt that the fewer people who knew about the eldest lady's private recruitment, the better.

Five hundred young adults recruited from Tianshui County and 1000 young adults recruited from Qingyang were sent to the 'Taziwo' ranch.

The territory of the "Taziwo" ranch has expanded to include garrisoned military camps, camps for the Yellow Sheep tribe and Ganzhou shepherds, nearly [-] stallions and tens of thousands of sheep.

Chu Tianjiao specially asked Zhang Gazi to bring a hundred veterans to escort these young men. After arriving at the 'Tazi Nest', he was left to train and manage these young men.

Ge Hu followed the team and walked for ten days. The further north he went, the cooler it became and the air was no longer burning.

Finally, these young men selected from the victims came to the 'Taziwo' ranch.

The endless green grass in the pasture, the running horses, and the flocks of sheep with white clouds made Ge Hu feel in a trance, as if he had entered a fairyland on earth.

A group of fully armored cavalry, about 200 men, passed by not far from them.

"Master Jun, are they the Chu family's army?"

Ge Hu showed envy and hurriedly asked the soldiers escorting them.

The veteran said with some pride: "Of course, they are the newly recruited soldiers of the Ganzhou Camp this year by Mr. Chu, and they also belong to the Chu Family Army.

Did you see that these new recruits have only been in the army for more than half a year, and they have already gone to Beihu to perform a mission. They fought against Beihu's Wang Zhangjun and came back with [-] sheep! "

Ge Hu swallowed his saliva: "Fifty thousand sheep..."

The veteran continued: "Look at the sheep in the pasture. They win them back. When the lambs are born, some of them will be used as military rations, and some will be sent to your resettlement sites to improve the food for the victims."

When Ge Hu heard this, he immediately felt grateful to the new recruits.

These sheep, it turns out that they are also the victims of the disaster!

"It would be great if I could join the army and join the Chu family army!" Ge Hu thought to himself.

Many people around him had the same idea as him.

When they arrived at the newly built camp, Zhang Gazi ordered these ten young men to rest in a tent.

The veterans were assigned to young people and served as leaders.

That day, these young men ate mutton.

They were victims of famine and had not had enough to eat along the way. They never thought that they would be able to eat meat on the grassland.

"Our general has said that we all have to fight, and strength is very important.

Eat meat to gain strength.

In the military camp, this meat cannot be cut off. "

The veterans took the opportunity to publicize.

On the second day, when Zhang Gazi summoned the thousand young men and asked them if they were willing to join the army, all of them were willing to stay and join the army.

After a night of brainwashing by the veterans, they also knew that the "food hunting team" was the new recruits.

If they are unwilling to join the army, Mr. Chu has said that they can also be made herders or sent back.

But the one tael of silver and one month's military pay were gone.

These people dare to take the initiative to join the food-seeking team, and they are not people who are afraid of death in the first place.

The danger of being a soldier is not higher than that of being a food-seeking team, but one is facing the enemies of Xirong, and the other is facing the wild beasts on the grassland.

As a soldier, you can eat well and get military pay. Your family members are considered military dependents. The state pastor will take special care of them and give priority to the counties for resettlement. After all, it is more cost-effective for these young people to be soldiers.

In this way, "Taziwo" officially has one thousand more recruits.

They trained together with the soldiers from the Ganzhou Battalion stationed in Taziwo.

Soon after, as the number of victims increased, more and more recruits were recruited in Taziwo.

Of course, there was also a small group of people who were unwilling to join the army and were left as shepherds.

At the same time, Chu Tianjiao continued the water conservancy project in Ganzhou. The flood victims who came to Tianshui and Qingyang were assigned to dig canals in more than a dozen counties in Ganzhou.

The local people in Ganzhou were liberated from hard labor and went home to work on their farmland.

Chu Tianjiao also selected craftsmen from the victims, especially blacksmiths, to replenish Wu Sheng's iron workshop.

Some people were sent to salt-making workshops and became salt-makers.

Women were assigned to make linen and weave linen.

Most of the civilians who left the country wore linen clothes.

This kind of linen is also very popular on the grassland.

The woven linen was purchased by caravans and brought to "Yanshiping" for trading in exchange for cattle, sheep, horses and dairy products from grassland herdsmen.

Chu Tianjiao even found several pottery-making workshops in Ganzhou, and sent the victims to work as potters, making a large number of pottery.

These potteries are not exquisite, but they are also one of the popular items traded in "Yanshiping".

At the same time, Qiao Xing also returned from Shu.

"Miss, this time I brought back another hundred thousand dans of grain.

The price of these grains has doubled from the previous purchase price.

The money I brought and the money sent by the eldest lady have all been spent.

Moreover, the imperial court is also transferring grain from Shu. We in Shu can no longer buy grain. "

Although the price was high, one hundred thousand dans of grain was enough to feed the northwest army for three months.

Chu Tianjiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The military rations that the imperial court should give to the Yangguan and Ganzhou camps are already a month late. If the imperial court does not deliver the military rations, the northwest army will have no choice but to starve.

Chu Tianjiao immediately ordered that half of the [-] loads of grain be sent to Yangguan and the other half to the Ganzhou camp.

Ganzhou's disaster response is in full swing, but other disaster-stricken states are not doing so well.

By June, wells in Yuzhou and Guanzhong areas had dried up, and the people had no drinking water.

The old, weak, women and children who did not escape were starved to death.

No one who dies of thirst will die of hunger.

Because of the hot weather, bodies decompose quickly after death. In some villages far away from water sources, you can smell the smell of corpses before you even enter the village.

The disaster relief food allocated by the imperial court was only a drop in the bucket. Even so, there were still many local officials who severely withheld the disaster relief food.

Finally, people from Xinyang, Nanyang, Zhumadian and other places rushed into the county, killed the county magistrate and robbed wealthy households.

Two common people named Zhang Xing and Chen Lian raised the banner of rebellion, enslaved the victims, and occupied five counties in Yuzhou.
