Chapter 881 Spring Plowing
In the blink of an eye, it is mid-February, the weather in Ganzhou Wei has begun to warm up, and spring plowing has begun everywhere.
Guard Command Department.
All the thousands of households from the five thousand households under Ganzhou Guard came to collect the seeds. In previous years, Xia Jianren was in charge of these matters, but now the warehouse of the guard is under the supervision of Xiao Yeyang, so he directly asked the five thousand households to
Went to find Xiao Yeyang.
Xiao Yeyang was taking several officials from the guard station to watch the military training of military households. When he heard that five thousand households had arrived, he looked at Fan Tong: "Master Fan, come and watch."
Fan Tong didn't expect Xiao Yeyang to call him, so he nodded instinctively: "Okay." After he agreed, he felt a little awkward. He had promised not to talk to Xiao Yeyang before.
Xiao Yeyang is not older than him, his qualifications are not as high as his, and his official position is below him, why should he be allowed to listen to him?
However, after watching Xiao Yeyang's military training during this period, he changed a lot about the extremely arrogant prince of the palace who threatened to take over the Ganzhou Guard as soon as he came over.
After his training, the spirit of the military households now is completely different from before. If the military households before were like sheep with little aggression, now they look a bit like wolves.
He is still convinced about Xiao Yeyang's military training.
Looking at Xiao Yeyang striding away, Fan Tong did not hesitate, took over the training task, and stared seriously at every military household on the field.
"Xiao Yeyang is just a governor, do we really want to listen to him?"
"He is the eldest son of the royal family. Although he was demoted to Ganzhou Guard, he cannot be regarded as an ordinary governor. Haven't you seen that other adults in the guard are supporting him? Let's just do it."<
/p>
As soon as Xiao Yeyang came over, he saw five thousand households whispering to each other. Without saying hello, he went straight into the room where the commander worked.
The five thousand households saw each other, looked at each other, and walked in quickly.
In the room, Xiao Yeyang was looking through the military ration ledgers submitted by five thousand households in recent years, and ignored the five people who came in.
The thousands of households looked at each other, and the oldest among them stood up with a smile: "I have met Mr. Xiao, we are here..."
Xiao Yeyang raised his eyes and interrupted him directly: "The account book in my hand is the amount of grain turned in by the thousands of households under your jurisdiction within five years. The imperial court has regulations on turning in grain. I took a look at it.
In the past five years, not a single household has turned in grain that meets the standard."
"Most of the best fields in Ganzhou Guard have been designated as military fields, but you can't even supply military rations to the border troops stationed here. I would like to ask, how do you do it?"
Immediately, thousands of households shied away and said: "Master Xiao, you can't blame us. You just came to Ganzhou Wei and you don't understand the situation here. The food production here is really pitifully low..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yeyang threw the account book in his hand on the table with a 'pop' sound, and looked at the five people with a cold face: "You may only know that I am the prince of the palace, but you may not know that I have also
I must be the commander of Jin Ling Guard, do you think I would tell you this for no reason?"
Hearing this, the five thousand households were all shocked.
Indeed, they only knew that Xiao Yeyang was the prince of the royal family, and they had not heard that he had ever served as a Jinling Guard.
Thinking of Jin Lingwei's reputation, sweat broke out on the foreheads of the five of them.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the five people in silence until the five people's expressions were tense and they no longer showed the indifference when they came in, then he continued: "I don't want to pursue too much about the past, but now Ganzhou
Since Wei has been taken over by me, you must act according to my rules."
Qianhu, the oldest, reacted first and said quickly: "Master Xiao, we will all obey your orders from now on."
Jin Lingwei has always been successful in investigating cases. If Xiao Yeyang really wants to pursue the case, the things they have done will definitely be enough to make them drink.
Others came to their senses and agreed one after another.
Xiao Yeyang's expression softened slightly. That is to say, the news reported by Jinling Guards said that these five military households were just greedy for some food and had no other major faults, so he was willing to continue to use theirs.
"The grain seeds have been prepared a long time ago. They are all high-yielding grain seeds shipped from the capital. The land in Xiliang is a little barren, and the yield per mu may not be as good as other inland provinces, but the Xiao Mansion has also reclaimed some land.
When the barren mountains and barren lands come out, during this autumn harvest, the best military fields will never be inferior to the barren mountains and barren lands."
Five thousand households quickly said they would not.
Xiao Yeyang looked at the five people and continued: "I have prepared five high-yielding grains. This year, the military fields under the jurisdiction of each thousand households will be divided into five parts, and wheat, corn, cotton, potatoes and rapeseed will be planted respectively."
Thousands of households expressed their disbelief: "Mr. Xiao, we have never planted three of the five kinds of seeds you mentioned. What if they are not suitable for planting here?"
Xiao Yeyang: "If the harvest is not good because it is not suitable for planting, I will bear the responsibility."
Hearing this, the five thousand households stopped talking.
Xiao Yeyang thought for a moment and continued: "The five of you who can climb to the position of Qianhu are also transparent people. You should know that only if Ganzhou Guard gets better and better, the benefits you will get will get better and better.
As long as you work hard, I will not treat you badly."
The five thousand households quickly said: "We all obey Mr. Xiao's orders."
Xiao Yeyang looked at them: "I hope you won't disappoint me." He said, attracting blessings, "Take five thousand households down to collect the seeds."
When the five thousand households walked out of the room, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
What an intimidating aura. Is this a member of the royal family?
Defu smiled and waited for the five people to calm down, and then led them towards the warehouse. Along the way, he kept talking about how high and good the harvest per acre was in the fields planted with high-yielding grain seeds.
The five thousand households were very excited after hearing this. They have been greedy in recent years, but as Xiao Yeyang said, as long as Ganzhou Guard gets better and better, they will get more and more benefits.
......
On the other side, Xiao Mansion and Daohua also handed over the prepared seeds to Yan Shouhou.
Nowadays, two barren hills have been transformed into terraced fields. The terraced fields have clear lines and spread down from the top of the mountain in rows, which is particularly spectacular.
"Sow seeds first, and then continue on the other three barren hills after spring planting is over."
Daohua gave Yan Shouhou's orders and went to the ranch.
The growth cycle of pasture is short, and it grows vigorously in less than a month.
Because the yield of pasture is relatively high and the regeneration capacity is strong, Daohua asked Cao Chuan to buy more lambs, calves, adult cattle, sheep and camels.
Cao Chuan hired a dozen experienced herdsmen to work on the ranch. With them watching, the cattle, sheep and camels quickly adapted to the ranch, and no particularly serious illnesses appeared.
This time Daohua brought a batch of forage seeds produced in space. After giving them to Cao Chuan, Cao Chuan had others plant them.
"In the future, this pasture will be handed over to you to manage. When the second batch of pasture grows, you can buy some cattle and sheep according to the situation. Don't buy camel calves. It is enough to raise a hundred adult camels in the pasture."<
/p>
Daohua looked at Cao Chuan: "By the way, are there any horses for sale?"
Cao Chuan nodded: "Yes, there are, but very few. Most of the horses are in the hands of the guards and the army."
Daohua: "If you see something suitable, try to buy as much as possible. Ganzhou Wei is short of supplies and will have to run inland frequently in the future. Horses are indispensable."
Cao Chuan nodded in agreement.
As the number of cattle and sheep increased, the pasture became more lively little by little. The nearby pastures were extremely envious when they saw the thousands of cattle and sheep running in Qingyang Ranch.
"Do you think the Xiao Mansion will not sell us grass?"
"Probably not. High-yielding grain seeds are all put up for sale. There is no reason why grass seeds should not be sold."
"The Xiao family has only been in Ganzhou Wei for a few months now, so it's understandable that they don't have many seeds."
......
Shiqukou.
Wang Qi was leading his clansmen to plant seeds in the spring when Wang Wu suddenly ran over: "Sir, come with me quickly. I've discovered something here."
Wang Qi glanced at the excited Wang Wu, and as soon as he handed the seed bag to the tribesman on the side, Wang Wu eagerly pulled him away.
"What's going on?"
After walking some distance, Wang Qicai asked.
Wang Wu didn't answer, but pulled Wang Qi and walked forward quickly.
A quarter of an hour later, the two of them arrived halfway up the back mountain.
"Sir, look at those people."
Wang Qi looked down the mountain, his pupils constricted.
Ordnance!
Seeing dozens of carriages all loaded with ordnance, Wang Qi couldn't help but tremble.
Wang Wu pulled Wang Qi: "Sir, where do you think these weapons are sent?"
Wang Qi had come back to his senses, observed the transport team, and said: "Sent to Ganzhou City."
After hearing this, Wang Wu's expression brightened: "Sir, I think so too. Those people are not from Xiliang at first glance."
"First they shipped a large amount of food, and now they've shipped such ordnance. It seems that Mr. Xiao didn't just come to Xiliang for a visit and then go back."
"Sir, go and join him. He is the son of the prince of the capital, and he will not be afraid of the Wei family."
Wang Qi glanced sideways at Wang Wu: "The wind is like the rain. Let's not talk about whether I will take refuge in him or not. Even the person and ability of Mr. Xiao, I have to watch and comment first."
Wang Wu was anxious: "Sir, with your ability and knowledge, how could Master Xiao not accept it? Didn't you say before that you want to assist someone who has the ability to change Xiliang?"
"I think Mr. Xiao can do it. Our Wang family has been suppressed so much by the Wei family. Now everyone has to hide in the mountains to have a place to live. We must seize the opportunity."
Wang Qi sighed. In the past, the Wang family was as famous as the Wei family in Xiliang. However, they were suppressed by the Wei family for decades just because they were not in harmony with the Wei family's ideas.
Thinking of the declining population and the people who could not even guarantee food and clothing, Wang Qi felt very stressed: "Let's see again."
