The four warriors led the horses across the bridge as usual, and spread the horses away from Fang Qiu, allowing them to play freely. The four people wandered around casually, seeming to enjoy their free time.

Brother Su said casually: "Although we give orders, captain, our orders are not enforced and our prohibitions are endless. We are not as good as the city lord."

Xiaosi said: "The city lord has been in charge of the city for hundreds of years and has been running it for generations. It is beyond the reach of outsiders like us."

Brother Dog said: "I can't do what I'm told, and I can't stop prohibiting it. It just doesn't work. I lie down high every day, but I can take it. How happy it is!"

Zheng Anping said: "We only have one city order, but the order cannot be carried out and the prohibition continues. How can the generals and ministers carry out the order?"

Xiaosi said: "I can't cover my ears. If we can't do anything, we have no choice but to obey other people's orders. We should be loyal to others if we can't cover them. If we don't, we can sleep until we wake up!" The words changed and he said

: "Brother Zheng, we brothers live together in Guan, we must work at sunrise, and we can't stop until the sun goes down?"

Zheng Anping said: "If he persuades farmers to use their fields, he will probably do it. If the officials don't persuade, how can the people be diligent?"

Xiao Si said: "What benefit does it bring to me if the people use their strength in the fields?"

Zheng Anping said: "I am just thinking about this. There are many people who manage the business of the city, and there are few who work on the land. If the four of us each get a hundred acres, we will get four hundred acres again. If we cultivate it with all our strength, we will gain nothing, both public and private.

profit?"

Brother Su's eyes lit up and he said: "Brother Zheng's words are very wonderful. There is a lot of wasteland here, but the water and grass are luxuriant. If you can cultivate it, you will gain a lot. If there is no one to cultivate it, I am willing to cultivate it as much as possible."

Zheng Anping said: "We can establish a uniform rule. Anyone who clears up wasteland will return their land immediately, but we can collect even a tithe."

Brother Su said: "If the land is ripe, a tithe of it will be collected. A tithe of the wasteland will be reclaimed. Who is willing to do this?"

Zheng Anping said: "There are few harvests from wasteland, and even tithes are rare."

Brother Dog said: "That's not possible. If we collect the tithe, the people will not be able to work hard on the fields. They will throw it away at will and get ten-nine. It must also be based on a hundred acres. A dou per acre is as good as a dou and a half.

It can be used to encourage farmers."

Zheng Anping asked, "What do you think, Brother Su?"

Brother Su said: "Brother Quan has stopped me from being lazy! We all have a share of the land, and now we have an acre, which is the rest. I have a small family, brothers and sisters, but little land. Brothers do not have small families.

What can I do if I get the land?"

Zheng Anping said: "In my hometown, there are quite a few people with many families and little land. I am willing to cultivate their land for their benefit!"

Xiaosi said: "Since his food is good for management, then I will do it when I order him, and I will stop when I prohibit him!"

Zheng Anping said: "The fourth brother is also quite a person, right?"

Xiao Si said: "There is no one like him yet, I guess there must be many."

Zheng Anping said: "Peach and plum trees are planted along the road, willows are planted along the river, cattle and sheep are grazed, and dolphins and chickens are livestock, which is enough to make one rich."

Xiaosi asked: "Brother Zheng, does he have someone else to help him?"

Zheng Anping said: "It is better not to have one or two leisure days in Guan Yi than to have one or two children. If they are worthy of being servants, why do they need anything else?"

Brother Dog said: "I never thought that Brother Zheng is an economic man. We rely on Brother Zheng to get our wealth!"

Zheng Anping said: "Our brothers, once we get a territory, why don't we vigorously display our ambitions in order to achieve success?"

These brothers were all moved by Zheng Anping's grand plan and couldn't help but ask what they should do.

Zheng Anping said: "In the first year, each of us will open up 100 acres of wasteland. These 100 acres are not rations, but are all surplus grain. But for one stone per acre, we can get 400 stones. What is missing will be planted. If you want to increase the rate, you can get an acre of millet.

If you plant one bushel, one hundred acres will be worth ten stones. Do you want to plant bean sprouts? Do you want to plant hemp?"

Xiaosi said: "Brothers, please plant millet, and I will plant flax. Because it is easy to grow, there is a lot of produce."

Zheng Anping said: "Although hemp is easy to grow, there are many kinds of it. Most acres have two or three bushels. It is not as good as millet, but only one bushel."

Xiaosi said: "Seeds of sesame are quite round and big. Two or three buckets will actually make them few. Toss them in three or five and you can harvest them."

Brother Su said: "Throw it three or five times and harvest it, but the harvest will be small. If you want to harvest a lot, you should plow half a foot deep and water it diligently, and you will get it."

Everyone laughed and said, "Four brothers are no longer lazy!"

Zheng Anping said: "If the fourth brother gets a hundred acres, he should carefully look for someone who can work hard to cultivate it. Be careful not to act on your own opinions and end up in trouble."

While talking and laughing, they had arrived at the edge of the abandoned city. The four of them looked through the ruins and could only see luxuriant grass blocking the road. But the main palace in the city still stood tall despite the passage of time.

Zheng Anping said: "In such a big city, we only have four houses. It seems that there is something that can be profitable. However, we haven't found it yet."

Xiaosi said: "You don't have to go far to herd cattle and sheep, but you can do it in the city."

Brother Su said: "How can we get a tree with mulberry trees?"

Zheng Anping said: "Brothers, you can use it to make a profit, but you can't use it to the fullest."

Brother Su asked: "What do you think?"

Zheng Anping said: "I haven't got it yet. I look at Huayang, a small town, and it has won a thousand gold coins. The Guanyi area is so big that it is not as big as Huayang, and the mountains in its land are even bigger. If there are water and grass, there will be benefits.

The big picture is limited to what you can see, so it’s hard to figure it out.”

Brother Su said: "Your Majesty has newly acquired Lu Bo. He has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot. Maybe he can help me with this."

Zheng Anping suddenly said with great joy: "Brother's words are true. Lord Xinling, all the people in the world will return to him. His plan must be grand and broad, and it will benefit the future. We may get one or two of them, and we will be rich for a lifetime."

.”

Xiao Si said: "This king has obtained it for himself, how can it be returned to us?"

Zheng Anping said: "If your Majesty gets a big one, we would rather not have a small one? Brother, if you wait for him, you will definitely do something."

Everyone was a little confused, but seeing that Zheng Anping seemed to be enlightened, they couldn't say much.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, the Fangqiu side was basically taking shape, and they were ready to call it a day. Zheng Anping and the others gathered their horses, led them, and crossed the river from the bridge on the west side of the abandoned city to avoid competing with the migrant workers entering the city. As they prepared to cross

When they were crossing the bridge, a few people came out from the side, crossed their hands and asked, "Young master, I want to take charge of the city? I would like to ask, how can we break the ground to take charge of the city today?"

Xiaosi replied: "Mr. Xinling will offer sacrifices in two days, and prepare the altar today! Who are you?"

The man said: "I'm a junior official from Huayang. Seeing the groundbreaking in your city, I'm afraid there's something wrong, so I came here to visit. How can Lord Xinling be sacrificed to Guan?"

Xiao Si said: "Guan was granted the title of Lord Xinling by the King of Wei. Seeing that Lord Xinling was entrusting him with the land, he consecrated him." The man bowed his hands in salute and retreated.

Zheng Anping asked strangely: "How can the officials of Huayang be in charge?"

Brother Su said: "Maybe I saw dust flying in the distance, so I came to investigate. If nothing happens, I will naturally report that nothing happened."

Zheng Anping said: "It must be as brother said." He led the horse into the city, tied it up, added water, and returned to Nilvyuan.

At dusk, a retainer sent word that tomorrow Lord Xinling will join Wei Qi, Prime Minister of Wei, and lead 200 magic soldiers and 300 warriors. After dinner, they will set off. They will arrive in Guanyi at dusk. Guanyi will prepare food and lodging for 500 people.

.

Guanyi was alarmed again, and every family was notified to vacate a room for the king and his entourage to rest. Since the city lord's palace became a three-shelf house, the subordinates of Lord Xinling and Wei Xiang were arranged in the homes of two other large families in the city.

The difficulty was food. After the war, the city's food reserves had been depleted. Because some families were doing business outside, they sent money back one after another. They could buy some food and barely survive. Suddenly there were 500 people.

There was not enough food to be found in the surrounding countryside. Mr. Guo and Zhang Ye discussed that they could only use the banner of Lord Xinling to go to Putian City to mobilize another one or two hundred stones of food.

Ling Jun wrote off the account. Due to the large amount of demand and the urgent matter, Zhang Jue first sent a retainer to Putian to inform him of the matter in advance.

The next day, the women in the city continued to serve the three animals, and the men went to Shangqiu to make final modifications. The children were restrained in the house by the old man and were not allowed to go out anywhere. Zheng Anping was still free and went out for a horse ride.

At noon, ten carriages carrying grain and meat arrived outside the city. Just in time, Fangqiu had been repaired, and the men returned to the city, just in time to transport the grain and meat into the warehouse. The grain transport convoy had just been sent away.

, news came that Lord Xinling and Prime Minister Wei had entered Putian Post. After dinner at Putian Post, they left the city and entered Guanyi.

The city also began to enter the final sprint. Zhang He and Mr. Guo inspected each house, and the city lord followed. When they found something wrong, they immediately rectified it. Every household began to cook porridge. This time, the rice shipped from the field was of good quality as usual.

The difference is that the whole city can enjoy rice porridge, and the people in charge of the city feel that the hard work they have put in these two days has been rewarded.

After the sky dimmed, a neat team appeared at the crossing of the Great Wall. The two hundred magic soldiers in front were holding various kinds of weapons, four in a row, marching in order. The two cars behind the magic soldiers were Lord Xinling and Wei Qi.

On the right side of the chariot are all holding long halberds, majestic. After two chariots, there are three hundred warriors. These are all elite men selected from the guests of Xinling Lord. Not only are they highly skilled in martial arts, but also disciplined and knowledgeable about etiquette.

Conditions. They are also arranged in a row of four, and the orderliness of the team is not inferior to that of the magic soldiers who are famous for their ceremonial guard.

One hundred warriors brought by Zhang Ye quickly set up a guard in the city, and the city entered a silent mode. After entering the city, someone naturally led everyone to the corresponding house to rest. Lord Xinling and Wei Qi were escorted by Zhang Ye and Mr. Guo

Accompanying him, he sat on the city tower and watched the people entering the city and quickly dispersed into various houses and courtyards. Only when everything was arranged, Lord Xinling and Wei Qi said goodbye and each returned to their respective homes.

Zhang Ye and Mr. Guo were naturally invited to the house where Lord Xinling lived to report everything. Zheng Anping felt that the matter of the visitors from Huayang might be worth reporting, but unfortunately no one invited him, so he could only hide in the room depressedly.

inside.

Very late, Mr. Guo came back and told Zheng Anping that he would be the first to sacrifice to Nanmu early the next morning. He asked him to prepare his halberd and try his best to cut the piglet's throat decisively tomorrow and strive for a fatal blow.

Don't give too much chance of struggling with piggy.

The process of Nanmu's sacrifice had already been performed by Mr. Meng Yu, and it was not complicated, so he just emphasized the key points at night. Zheng Anping finally couldn't help it, and told him about someone coming to investigate in Huayang yesterday. Mr. Guo started first.

I didn't take it seriously, but after chewing it for a few times, I realized that it might not be simple. But tomorrow is the day of the sacrifice, and everything can only be done until the sacrifice is over.
Chapter completed!
