Ji Xuanhe only gave preferential policies, and the order to open up wasteland was not mandatory.No matter how good the strategy is, once it has a sense of coercion, the taste will change.For matters related to the safety of the people in Xilin County, Ji Xuanhe can still make overall arrangements and insist on the implementation of the people below. Such a purpose is good, and the final result is not sure whether it will be good or bad. It is a little bit for him to force the decision for others Mind your own business.

Now is the time of war, and there is no guarantee when the war will hit the front of the house, and there are not many people responding.The amount of wasteland that Ji Xuanhe had prepared at the beginning was sufficient, and after all the people in Xilin County who were willing to go to the corresponding places to open up wasteland had been arranged properly, there was still a lot left.Now that he had decided to open up wasteland, Ji Xuanhe naturally didn't want to see a large area of ​​land idle. He asked the guards to convey his intentions to the villages closest to the wasteland. Anyone who was interested would be treated the same as the people in the city.

There are many people in the village who are tenants and farmers. They dream of owning their own fields, but it is very difficult to satisfy such a small wish.Everything is easier said than done. The wasteland near the village has been reclaimed long ago, and the remaining soil is either too poor or too far away from the village.There are really not many people who dare to drag their families and take their lives and give it a try.A single family lives alone in a desolate place, and the safety factor is too low, so few people dare to take this risk.

Now that Ji Xuanhe has given the villagers a chance, if the poorest peasant households don't seize the opportunity, they should really be destitute.During the slack season, there are already idle laborers. When there is a war, there are more strong laborers who are idle at home and have nothing to do. A large group of people work together to open up wasteland. The hot scene makes people excited.

There is really no comparison between being organized and not being organized. Rows of simple thatched huts rose up from the ground, and then picked up stones to open the ground and loosen the soil in turn. The people who were busy on the wasteland were full of energy.This is busy work for themselves, and they will be sorry for themselves if they don't do it well.

Sitting on the back of the jujube, Ji Xuanhe watched the farmers hard work, and the smile on his face deepened.The reason why the south is prosperous and prosperous is that the land per unit area can feed more people. Even if all the wasteland in Xilin County is reclaimed, it is still incomparable with the south of the same area. The climate and soil quality determine everything, and no one can change it. .But Ji Xuanhe can make the existing people of Xilin County live better, and that is enough.

Ji Xuanhe visited all the four land reclamation sites, and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he went back home.He can only point out a clear path for the people, as to whether they will follow, that is all their own business, Ji Xuanhe will not do the matter of forcing the cow's head to drink water.The spring plowing has ended long ago, and it is not a very suitable time to open up wasteland now, and the candidates are not the same as he had imagined at the beginning, but this is not important, as long as the survival problem of the people can be solved, no matter what kind of mistakes happen in the middle .

Ji Xuanhe originally planned to divert the farmers from the big villages to open up wasteland, but whoever wants to start a fire, the survival of the people in the city has become the first problem that needs to be solved.Otherwise, in peacetime, the living standard of the people in the city is generally higher than that of the farmers. Unfortunately, the plan cannot keep up with the changes, so he has to adjust the policy and give priority to the people in the city who are struggling to make ends meet.

Usually, the county government's relief can be distributed on time, but now it is not.Many people store food in their households, and those who can afford it don't have to worry about food and clothing. Those who are not able can afford it now that the price of food is soaring.There are too many people in need of relief, and the relief from the county government can only be a drop in the bucket. Such a bottomless pit cannot be filled, so Ji Xuanhe simply stopped the relief.People who are really in need register with the village head, and the head of the village reports to the county government every once in a while, and the county government makes unified arrangements to exchange work for food.

In June, the sun began to intensify, and it was not only warm, but also hot.The time for farmers to go to the field is automatically adjusted. At noon, it is rare to see the figure of the field working.Fighting wars is all about consumption. The stronger the national power, the longer the war can be dragged on. From this point of view, Emperor Wenchang has a great advantage.In the same way, he also took over the decline of occupying the rich and prosperous land. The wealth and wealth are alluring, and the soldiers in the prosperous land are obviously weaker than the border guards.Both good and bad, how to balance the two is really troublesome, it depends on the ability of Emperor Wenchang.

Only one month after the war, there was a gap in some war-related supplies, and the supply gradually failed to keep up with consumption.This kind of situation not only appeared in the fiefdom of King An, but also reflected in varying degrees, including the Jin Dynasty to which Emperor Wenchang belonged.At the beginning of Xilin County, the situation where a large number of prey flooded the market gradually disappeared. The total amount of prey was only so much. The idle and strong laborers flocked to the surrounding forests. , the people have to find a livelihood again.

At this time, a large number of livestock raised by Jijiazhuangzi and Xishanzhuangzi were sold again.Although it cannot be compared with that before the war, at least the sales volume has not decreased too much.It is good enough to have a stable income during wartime, and you can't force too much on anything else.The land in Xilin County is relatively poor, but it is suitable for planting grass. For these two Zhuangzi, the income from raising poultry and livestock accounts for a large proportion, and it is best if all the meat can be sold.

Ji Xuanhe gave guidance to the rest of the people on the four wastelands that Ji Xuanhe decided to reclaim. This time, Ji Xuanhe didn't need to say much. The people who had this intention approached several villages, gathered a certain number of people, and started to go to the nearest wasteland to reclaim wasteland.It's already June, and now the wasteland can only be planted with some vegetables. If we want to grow enough food, we can still harvest some root plants such as potatoes.

Because the spring plowing period has passed, this year is not counted as the three years of tax exemption, and it is considered a little benefit for the people who opened up wasteland.Looking at the wasteland on the rough map, Ji Xuanhe couldn't help but smile wryly.No matter how much wasteland there is, there must be enough people to reclaim it. If the population is insufficient, then we can only watch them continue to be desolate. This matter does not depend on people's will.

Jinchao is good enough, the tools are more advanced than what Ji Xuanhe remembered, and the per capita arable land is quite considerable.But even so, aside from objective factors, there is still a large area of ​​wasteland that cannot be solved. It would be great if it could attract people to settle in Xilin County.

Only people can develop. In the absence of everyone being able to eat and drink enough, food production determines the prosperity of a region.For more than three years, Ji Xuanhe seems to have continued the previous policy, but in fact the changes are not insignificant.These changes were not brought about overnight, but were covered up in ordinary affairs.It has been said that talents are fundamental, and the population of Xilin County is increasing year by year, which is Ji Xuanhe's greatest contribution to Xilin County.People don't feel it now, but they will feel it after a long time.

That year when foreign tribes invaded, the same counties encountered enemy soldiers. Xilin County had the smallest population loss, and only Xilin County had the fastest return to normal production and life after that, and its population could grow slightly compared to before the disaster.The establishment of Xishan Zhuangzi, the completion of the reservoir, the beggars are almost extinct, and the military disaster has been avoided to the greatest extent... Every pile of piles has attracted poor people from nearby counties to Xilin County to live and work in peace.It is also because the population is relatively sufficient that Ji Xuanhe wants to let the people open up wasteland.

Thanks to Jinchao’s underdeveloped information, the delay effect is very strong, and Xilin County is only better than before, not so good that people flock to it. This did not cause a large influx of people. If this is the case, Then offend officials in other states and counties.

The armed guards are gradually getting in place. Those craftsmen who are good at craftsmanship and recruited by the army spend their spare time making weapons for the guards. Basically, farm tools and the like are handed over to their apprentices. Time, when the weapons of the guards are in place, the artisans will be free to continue making farm tools.

In addition to these craftsmen, because of Ji Xuanhe's ability to make excellent bows, there are not a few servants of the Ji family who have learned this skill, and many bows and arrows are from the hands of the Ji family.The Ji family can't do it for nothing, right?It is not necessary to charge money, at least provide the materials by yourself, and it is inevitable to provide them with food and drink during the time of making bows and arrows.

Other weapons are made by specialized craftsmen, and the wooden spears used to fool people are also good for sneak attack and defense. The front on the battlefield is relatively backward, and it is easy to be cut off easily. It is very useful for each person to equip with convenient weapons necessary.

Looking at the neatly lined up guards on the school grounds, Ji Xuanhe couldn't help feeling proud.What kind of environment creates what kind of people, often in the army, the heroic feelings are beyond words, especially when the formation starts, the horns are blown, and the drums are thumping, it is easy to make people's blood rush, the blood spurts, and the pride Suddenly.There are more than 500 people fully armed with such momentum. One can imagine how spectacular it will be if tens of thousands or 10 people gather together.

The guards are not a regular army, and weapons can be made by craftsmen, but armor is not. The craftsmen in Xilin County don't know how to do it, so they have to use a set of rattan armor for each person.Not only did the guards have no complaints, they touched the brand-new equipment, and they all looked happy.If they are really asked to serve as soldiers for these reasons, then few of them will be willing. Like now, they can wear a set of guard uniforms that are no different from the standard military equipment, and they can resist showing off to others. They are all restrained.

Good equipment is not just for show. Each person wears rattan armor, a bow, plus a long weapon, a close-fitting short blade, and a lot of horses. All these alone cost a lot of money. The big households will share the responsibility. If Ji Xuanhe is allowed to make preparations, it is estimated that such a guard may not be able to pull up such a guard if his family is exhausted.

Soldiers and horses are not so easy to raise, even in the Qingyun Guard, the average combat strength may not be as good as Ji Xuan and this escort.As long as time goes by and the strength of the guards is strengthened, then this guard team will truly belong to the ranks of elite soldiers.Now, it's not enough in form but in momentum, and it can't be compared with elite soldiers.

There was a row of targets erected on the school field, and arrows were shot on them in an orderly manner.The guards have been trained for more than a month, not to mention how accurate they are, at least very few of them will miss the stationary target.Everyone is good at different weapons. It is impossible for everyone to be talented in bows and arrows. Those with poor talents can only train melee weapons, but bows and arrows have not given up.After all, even if the shooting accuracy is not high, if the enemy has a large number of people, as long as their general direction is not bad, then they will play a role.
