Xianyu Infrastructure, I have a lot of troops in my hands

Jiuzifu was dumbfounded at this moment. In order to successfully cling to the power of Prince Xiang's Mansion, he had endured being sent to be the supervisor. For this, the silver bills he earned by his own ability were gone before he could even warm up to them. He was mentally prepared for all this.

Just now at the dock, when he saw Zhan Lang, he was only slightly amazed at the domineering black ship.

But at this moment, looking at the seemingly endless fleet of shuttle ships on the sea in the distance, Jiuzifu's heart began to beat fast and he began to doubt whether he had made a mistake.

In his previous understanding, Xie Xian was just a little girl who had some tricks and liked to play and laugh. Although she had a bad temper and was quite strong, she didn't kill him when she was provoked.

As a mature businessman, Jiu Zifu thought he was a good judge of people. Xie Xian was a good person. When Prince Xiang suggested that he be the supervisor, he hesitated for a moment and then agreed.

But at this moment, he felt that he had made a mistake. What kind of girl would be like Xie Xian? She was obviously eating, drinking and having fun every day, but she made a lot of money. Suddenly, such a huge fleet appeared and scared him.

It turns out that Prince Xiang’s choice of the Lady of the Xie Family to cooperate with him was not a random choice.

Li You: How could I not know?

Xie Xian headed north with a load of harvest, but all parts of Daxia had already started moving.

Que County Government Office.

"Look, we have already completed the corvée labor for the next two years, and now you come to tell me that it doesn't count. It makes me so angry!" Bai Jingting paced back and forth anxiously in the meeting hall of the county government, looking indignant.

Xie Ze held a bowl of tea in his hand, sitting still calmly. He was already used to the county magistrate's impatient temper.

"Don't be upset!"

"How can I not be angry? The corvée was originally carried out according to the procedures. Now the wall has been repaired and the road has been filled. They just want to deny it after a few words. Chen County is such a big place, it can't be taken over by Que County alone!"

Bai Jingting's face turned red with anger, and the blisters around his mouth were bright red.

After half a year, the beard that he had finally grown back had lost a few hairs. He looked at the beard in his hand with heartache, took a deep breath, and then cursed: "These guys saw that the refugees were useless and led them to my Que County."

"Now that we have finally made it through, they are conscripting us and they think of our large numbers. What bastards, huh..."

"Don't be upset, my Lord. We have all the documents for the corvée. No matter what, we are in the right. And the matter has not been concluded in the capital yet, so we must not lose our composure."

Xie Ze saw clearly that those people above wanted to take all the benefits, but they, Que County, were not made of clay.

He stroked his beard, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Let's see what the Lord says!" Ever since the order to conscript labor was issued from above, other counties have been in chaos, except Que County, which was peaceful.

This news has spread throughout Chen County, but no transfer order has come down from the capital. He and Bai Lingjun are waiting, the major families in Chen County are waiting, and even the lower-class villagers are waiting.

It’s just because the most famous and powerful person in Que County is still on the way.

Xie Xian, who was enjoying the breeze on the boat, didn't know that there was a big pit waiting for her before she even got home.

Conscription concerns everyone, although most of the burden falls on the common people.

However, spring is the busy farming season, and all young laborers are indispensable.

If all the strong laborers are withdrawn by that time, the old, weak, women and children left behind will have to rely on the clan for protection.

Therefore, the ancestral halls of each clan are also worried. It is difficult for them. If they do not do anything, they will lose the morale of the clan members, and then the clan members will lose their morale.

If we take action, the landlords don't have any surplus food. If the men from the families who borrowed food die on the battlefield, who will we ask for the money and food we borrowed?

"The spring plowing has just begun, and some places have not yet planted. Now the imperial court is recruiting soldiers on a large scale. This year's harvest... ..." It is foreseeable that there will be a shortage of food this year. As the magistrate of Que County, how can he not be anxious and angry?

Bai Jingting paced anxiously in the room. All the officials in the county government office gathered together, frowning and thinking.

Zhao Zheng stole a glance at County Magistrate Xie, then coughed softly, "There is nothing we can do about what you said."

"However, a few days ago, when we came back from patrolling outside the city, we saw that the field outside the city seemed to have been planted, and the white vines had grown to two inches high."

The biggest change in Que County this year is the large area of ​​land outside the city, 140 acres of farmland. It is equivalent to football fields in the future. It can be said that almost all the land to the south of the city is open.

They patrolled twice a day. When other people were plowing the land, Xie's fields were irrigated. When other people were planting seeds, Xie's fields began to add fertilizer.

He took a special look and found that the manure was grayish white with a lot of bird feathers and sand mixed in it. It was said to be bird droppings transported from the south, but when it was poured over such a large area, not a single splash could be seen.

The seeds in other people's fields were almost sprouting, but the Xie family's fields had not yet been planted.

But they started to notice something was wrong yesterday. When they left the city in the morning, the fields were still covered with yellow soil. But when they returned to the city in the evening, green seedlings had appeared in the fields, and the seedlings had already grown three leaves.

Looking at the neatly arranged green seedlings in the fields, Captain Zhao Zheng and the villagers gathered on the roadside were all confused.

Who am I, where am I, what am I doing?

"When will the seedlings sprout in this field? Oh my god! The goddess of land has appeared." A group of people were talking.

"Maybe it's the Goddess of Land. I heard that she knows magic!" After saying that, he gave everyone a look that only showed understanding.

Everyone was suddenly shocked. Yes, yes, yes, this kind of secret technique is beyond the understanding of us mortals. Let’s go.

At the other end of the field, Ze Yue looked at the baskets of seedling embryos on the oxcart, and while directing everyone to unload the carts, he said, "Hurry up. Today is cloudy, which is just right for planting the seedlings. If you miss it, you can only wait until night to do it."

He glanced at the obviously curled-up little notebook in his hand and muttered, "Don't plant seedlings in the sun. The white sedge seedlings are grown in a textile factory. Everyone, be careful! Once we finish this plot of land, we'll have to start watering it."

"Hey! Boss, what are those people doing at the city gate?"

Ze Yue glanced over there and shook his head, "Who cares what they do? Once the seedlings are planted, we need to send someone to watch over them, to prevent them from ruining the seedlings without realizing it."

He knew that the villagers were just curious, and they didn't have the guts to destroy the fields. But there was no guarantee, so just in case, he should report it to the road construction team and ask them to build a fence!

Because seeds are scarce, each seedling is extremely precious, so they are simply planted in the fields that have been fertilized.

Xie Xian also built roads in the fields. The criss-crossing roads and ridges divided the fields into neat squares. It was pleasing to the eye from a distance and gave an inexplicable sense of comfort.

A main canal runs through the entire field from west to east. Next to the canal, there is a new type of water wheel built by the Mohists. With just a slight push of the pedal, water can be drawn up continuously, making irrigation a very pleasant thing.

This renovation made the nobles who were usually high and mighty jealous, and they came to ask for help to build drums in their own fields. This attracted a lot of business for the road construction team.
