The generals were buzzing and discussing, obviously what Jia Rong said was that he would pull the ground and stimulated them.

"You are each responsible for a place. In the end, if any soldier has more plowing land, the soldier with less plowing land will wash their clothes for a month." In order to stimulate the generals, Jia Rong gave a little lottery.

Sure enough, these men could not withstand such stimulation. They shouted that their usual opponents would wash their clothes for them. Seeing the generals who were divided into four camps and shouting, they did not have the demeanor of a general. Jia Rong enjoyed it, and was slightly proud of his thoughts, and smiled happily on the side.

At this time, Ulan covered her head and asked, "General, are you in this competition too?" After so long in the Han army, Ulan also admired Jia Rong very much, but this Qiang general said nothing.

Jia Rong nodded firmly, "Yes, it's the same if I lose."

The careless Ulan could not observe the gaze that was about to eat people in Jia Rong's eyes, and the generals became even more excited.

After the meeting ended, the Han generals in the army immediately became fragrant buns. The Qiang generals kept asking them how to pull the ground and the skills to pull the ground. Under the instructions of their superiors, the Han generals pretended to be incredible and repeatedly teased the Qiang people.

As long as the task of clearing the land was completed, Jia Rong would be very happy even if he had to wash clothes for two months. However, it seemed that the boy Ulan had to be dealt with. When he had the opportunity to give him some trouble, Jia Rong thought to himself.

Unexpectedly, such a big problem was solved by the words of the foolish boy Li Hu. It really corresponds to the saying "A wise man will have one mistake, and a foolish man will have one mistake!"

With a talent from Yingchuan Academy under his command, Jia Rong certainly wanted to discover his greatest value, but looking at Zhang Li's blood-filled eyes and tired face, there was no such elegant demeanor as he had just come to the prefect's mansion. Jia Rong felt a little disgusted and said, "Brother Zirong has worked hard, you must pay attention to your health and do not overwork."

Zhang Li nodded excitedly. The lord was so caring, even if he worked hard, what would he have to do?

After discussing the matter of land reclamation with Zhang Li, listening to some of his opinions, Jia Rong began to work hard.

The third fire broke out, and Jia Rong issued a third edict: "Everyone with land or without land can come to the prefect's office to register. Everyone has it, only the people!" This edict quickly spread throughout the six counties in the northern region.

After Zhang Li's recent personnel adjustments, the other five counties of Beidi County have arranged county magistrates and county magistrates. After receiving Jia Rong's edict and Zhang Li's detailed explanation, they will implement them without fail.

After the order was issued, the monks of the four major families, including Li, Liu and Yao, were confused. Where did the prefect's mansion come from? Wang Gu, the head of the Wang family, seemed to remember something, but after a long time, he shook his head and ignored Jia Rong's edict. The four major families even doubted whether Jia Rong was going to start attacking them. For a moment, the four major families were in a panic and the soldiers of each palace were ready for battle.

But the people didn't care about so much. After hearing about this, they cheered and ran to the prefect's house.

In order to prevent people from the four major families of the North from coming to embezzle the land, Zhang Li ordered the officials responsible for registering to check carefully, but those who found the four major families would be severely punished immediately.

Hu Zhun also came to the prefect's mansion with excitement. After receiving Jia Rong's call, Hu Zhun was so happy. Before leaving, he even knocked three times and bowed nine times to the ancestral tablet.

Jia Rong signaled Hu Zhun to sit down, touched his beard with a little thorny hand, and said, "This time I call you here to talk to you about the matter of clearing wasteland. You gathered the people who know how to cultivate the land and asked them to bring the farm tools for the cultivated land. I will send officials and soldiers to help you, how about it?"

Hu Zhun jumped up from his seat and fell to the ground and said, "I will complete the task in a humble position. Please rest assured, Lord Prefect!" Since Jia Rong said that he was appointed as the little commander of arable land, Hu Zhun asked a scholar for advice on how to speak in front of the prefect, and he has worked a lot of effort for this.

Jia Rong nodded and said to the guard beside him: "Call fifty soldiers and ask Zhang Li to send an official to follow Hu Zhun, and listen to Hu Zhun's instructions along the way." Communication between the people is the most direct, and putting on airs will only make the people respectful and repel them in their hearts.

Hu Zhun was so excited that he scratched his head and said, "Sir, I can't command people."

Jia Rong smiled disapprovingly and said, "No one is born to be a general. I believe you can do this well."

Hu Zhun was so excited that his veins bulged high on his neck, and he knelt down on the ground with a bang: "Thank you, sir, if I can't do this, I won't live."

It was said that the prefect summoned him, and the people joined Hu Zhun's team one after another, and the officials sent did not play any role.

Jia Rong divided the more than 2,000 people into four parts equally, and began the great cause of clearing the land.

In order to encourage the three armies, Jia Rong even went on the battle himself. Looking at Jia Rong who was sweating profusely and full of energy, many people here left tears of touch. No official of the court put himself in his shoes and considered them like this. They also understood where the land Jia Rong asked them to register and collect in the prefect's mansion came from.

Under Hu Zhun's leadership, several people with white hair rushed to Jia Rong, knelt down beside Jia Rong, and said in unison: "Sir, don't do this!"

Seeing such an elder kneeling at his feet, Jia Rong felt unbearable and hurriedly reached out to help him. However, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell to the ground and was unconscious. It was not that Jia Rong could not do this job, but that Jia Rong had just taken over the plow and ran away like a flying step. For a moment, his body could not keep up with it, and suddenly stopped. In an anxious manner, even his body could not bear it.

Jia Rong, who fainted, was placed in the prefect's mansion by Rong, and soldiers were personally guarding and caring for him. Although the Beidi County was barren, the so-called great tonics in this era could be seen everywhere in front of Jia Rong's bed.

None of these soldiers were not iron-blooded men. Seeing their general pulling the ground himself and fainting from exhaustion, they suppressed the tears in their eyes, used all their strength, pulled the plow and ran hard to the distance. Looking at the soldiers who were faster than plowing oxen, the people hurriedly took the plow.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down the corners of the eyes of the people. They could truly feel Jia Rong's intentions. A prefect who would rather personally pull the ground for the people, not to mention that there is no future, is definitely unprecedented. From this moment, the people also truly accepted the prefect, this young general, and the young and strong young man spontaneously pulled the ground, and the military and civilians cooperated very well.

Jia Rong's deeds quickly spread to the six northern counties, and even nearby counties were circulating.

All the soldiers in Beidi County went crazy. Even if they were tired, they would not rest for a moment, as if the land in front of them was their enemy. One soldier after another fainted from exhaustion and could not stop this trend. In the end, this trend was suppressed by Jia Rong's repeated stops.

The people even brought all the delicious food in their homes to the open space to comfort the soldiers. For a time, the military and civilians were harmonious, and the entire Beidi County was full of vitality. Even the counties and counties that were most difficult to manage inhabited by the Qiang people were very cooperative with the soldiers of Beidi County.

Jia Rong was lying in bed all day long and enjoying the rude service. He felt so frustrated. He asked to go to the land reclamation site several times, but he was forcibly pressed on the bed by these honest soldiers. It was really not a good thing to be treated as a sick person.

A businessman came to the prefect's mansion. Jia Rong finally got rid of these big men, sorted out his clothes, and walked towards the Guixian Hall. Since becoming the prefect of Beidi County, Jia Rong rarely wore military uniforms, with a sword hanging on his waist, and a black official, which was quite elegant.

In the Zhaoxian Hall, a businessman was walking anxiously, with red eyes, messy hair, faint blood on his clothes, and the fabric of the clothes was also on the top. Jia Rong thought that the purpose of this businessman coming would definitely not be simple.

Jia Rong gently treated the businessman to sit down, signaled the guard to serve tea, and squinted his eyes at the businessman in front of him.

The merchant couldn't sit still, knelt in front of Jia Rong, and said in tears: "Please save my son!"

"Oh, how can you explain this?" Jia Rong helped the merchant up and asked softly.

The businessman told Jia Rong in detail about his experience, begging Jia Rong to help him.

The recruitment order clearly encouraged business, but no businessman came to visit for more than a month. Jia Rong also knew that the northern county was poor and could not attract these merchants. Finally, a businessman came, but he was asking for help.

It turned out that the merchant met a horse thief on the road. He not only robbed the goods, but also took the merchant's son away, claiming that he would let the merchant bring enough money to release him. Unlike kidnapping in later generations, the horse thief did not say anything and did not call the police. It was too unprofessional and had no awareness.

Jia Rong picked up the tea on the table, then closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste of the tea. All this fell into the eyes of the merchant. The merchant thought Jia Rong was sitting on the ground and begged, "As long as the adult can save the villain's son, he can do as much as the adult needs, even if he has a thousand dollars, he will not hesitate to pay."

Jia Rong did not explain, slowly opened his eyes and said, "Don't worry, this happened in Beidi County. The prefect will definitely not ignore it. As for the remuneration, I will not ask for it."

The businessman thanked him again and again with gratitude, and his eyes looked at Jia Rong with strange looks, as if the young prefect in front of him was so curious that it was something that the young prefect did not accept his reward.

Only merchants can accelerate the prosperity of a county town. Jia Rong was thinking about how to make the merchants in front of him willingly contribute to the prosperity of Beidi County. However, the current situation of Beidi County is not optimistic, and there is no place to attract merchants. Such a headache can only be left to those merchants to think about. Merchants are pursuing profits. As long as it is profitable, merchants around the world will definitely flock to them.
