Chapter 243 Split up
"Mr. Chang Sun, please notify all the centurions in the barracks immediately and have them come to the general's mansion to get the corn seeds and take their men to the fields to plant the corn."
The people were all starving and skinny. It was one thing that they had no energy to farm, but Xiao Yunzhan was worried that some of them would not be able to resist and eat the corn seeds.
The hungry people could not resist eating the grain they had obtained.
Adults might be okay because they have the God-King weighing on their minds, but children don't have that much endurance.
Cooked corn smells so good that some people start stealing it. Once they taste the sweetness, they can't stop.
Last night, the whole family had a corn feast, corn cakes, corn porridge, corn steamed cakes, salt and pepper corn kernels, corn ribs soup, roasted corn...
Thinking about it now, his mouth is still watering, it was so delicious.
And the corn juice has a sweet and fragrant taste, it is so delicious.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Chang Sun Dongcai accepted the order with a smile on his face, turned around and strode out of the general's mansion.
There is nothing to do with 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers sitting idle, so it would be a good idea to return them to farming.
The soldiers are strong and can plant faster.
Prefect Tian watched Zhang Sun Dongcai leave with envy on his face, then looked at Xiao Yunzhan with pursed lips, waiting for his instructions.
Now that the soldiers have been used up, the civilians should have something to do.
He didn't think that the God King would keep idle people. After all, Emperor Wu of Liang was still the emperor in the capital.
As long as Emperor Wu of Liang is not overthrown, they will have something to do.
Xiao Yunzhan's throat rolled over, he swallowed quietly, and looked towards Prefect Tian.
"Master Tian, go and inform all the people in the city to gather at the parade ground."
Prefect Tian looked at Xiao Yunzhan in bewilderment, "Do you need the people to bring anything?"
Could it be that such a large area of land as the parade ground is also to be used to grow corn?
However, the land of the parade ground had been trampled hard by the soldiers, and it would be a delay if these hungry people who could hardly walk were asked to plant the crops there.
Xiao Yunzhan smiled and said, "Just go. Let all the people go and notify the chief clerks of each county to bring the household registration books of each county and gather at the parade ground."
"Household register!" Prefect Tian muttered in confusion, then thought of the newly arrived refugee soldiers and quickly replied, "Yes, I'll go and notify them right away."
How could he have forgotten about those refugee soldiers who are still living in the vacant military camps that were left over from the war?
That military camp was specially built for the reinforcements to rest. The houses there were all very simple and could barely shelter them from the wind and rain.
There was nothing in the room except wooden boards for lying down and sleeping, so it was indeed necessary to provide accommodation for these soldiers.
Among these soldiers there seemed to be one named Zhu who was very popular with General Long. He was very smart and a talented person. He just wanted to find a chance to get to know him, and now the opportunity had come.
After watching Prefect Tian leave, Lin Yiran turned to Shang Lu and said,
"Go and inform Zhu Changshou to bring all the people from Zhujia Village here."
"Yes!" Shang Lu responded and ran out following Lord Tian.
"The people of Zhujia Village are more serious about their work. We divided them into two teams. One team stayed in the general's mansion to help the sisters-in-law distribute corn seeds, and the other team followed us to the military parade ground."
Lin Yiran withdrew her gaze from Shang Lu's back and looked at Xiao Yunzhan.
She and Xiao Yunzhan were going to the military parade ground, and the three sisters-in-law would definitely not be able to handle the distribution of corn seeds alone.
There is only one servant, Shang Lu, in the general's mansion now, and he can't help much.
"You arranged it very well." Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran affirmatively, raised his eyelids and looked at the sisters-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, thank you for distributing corn seeds in the mansion. Each hundred households will receive two bags of corn seeds."
"Mom, just work harder and take those hundred households to the fields to demonstrate how to grow corn."
As for which plot of land each hundred households were responsible for, that was arranged by Changsun Dongcai. He was more familiar with the fields in Shuitian City.
"By the way, mother, take those refugee soldiers with you to farm the land."
Those refugee soldiers were much stronger than the Xiao family's private soldiers. After all, they had never gone hungry since they followed them.
It is not a bad thing for tens of thousands of people to lie in the camp. They are all farmers, so farming is more convenient for them.
"Okay, don't worry, fourth brother, we will arrange it." Wan Suyun nodded and had no objection to the arrangements.
Yao Wenhong and Zheng Yunyun had even less objections. Distributing corn seeds was a very important matter and they had to keep a close eye on it.
"No problem. I haven't farmed for many years. I'm going to experience it this time."
Old Madam Xiao smiled brightly and was very interested in farming.
Only when she was still a girl would she often go to the farm to play and work in the fields.
After getting married, there were too many things to do in the mansion, so I hardly ever went to the farm. Occasionally I would go there to check the account books or something.
Soon, Zhu Changshou brought the people from Zhujia Village to the general's mansion.
There are only 128 people in Zhujia Village, and all men, women, young and old followed to Shuitian City.
The youngest is only five years old and trains with the adults every day without ever complaining.
The oldest is almost sixty years old, but he still gets up early every day to run two laps, for fear of holding back Zhujia Village and affecting its transformation.
Not to mention the women, they are even more hardworking than the female soldiers under Yao Wenhong. They do what men can do, and even if men can't do it, they will try it even if they grit their teeth. They are very motivated.
In other villages, men and women are separated, and the female soldiers are all under Yao Wenhong's command. Only in Zhujia Village are men and women mixed together.
