Chapter 119 Autumn Harvest is Busy Season

After a few days, Lin Yang seemed to understand how to be an excellent master of the Zhagu Empire. He finally started to deal with important military and political affairs, and he finally started to arrange daily patrols and normal shifts. When Peng and Yishang were working, and Lin Yang wasn't taking care of things, they were well-known aristocrats, busy all day to death.

Of course, Lin Yang alone can't run the whole hot spring village. Since he has plenty of energy, he doesn't have enough time, so he needs a secretary and some civil officers.But it's a pity that the former Zhizhai didn't leave it for Lin Yang, and Lin Yang didn't bring it himself, and then his eyes were blackened.

Helpless, Lin Yang had no choice but to let the military officer serve concurrently. None of Ma Peng, Wang Chang, Qin Yuan, Yi Shang, and Zheng Wei ran away.

As for Zhang Cai, Lin Yang didn't let her go. Lin Yang knew her ability and was used as a secretary. During the war, she was directly promoted in situ, and she joined the army and served as a military counselor.Lin Yang was not polite to Zhang Cai, there was no salary at all, it was simply that the little slave girl of the Lin family was deprived of rest, Zhang Cai was so angry that he kept pouring ink into Lin Yang's teacup.

During the time when Lin Yang was lazy, the soldiers he brought were also idle, but they returned to idle time, eating and living with the original soldiers in the hot spring village, and kept working together until there was no major problem. 1803 people joined the exercise.After the joint exercise, Lin Yang reorganized and rebuilt each battalion and army, assigned defense areas, and then practiced offensive and defensive tactics the next day.

The days passed day by day, the autumn harvest came as scheduled, all the generals in Hot Spring Village were too busy, and Lin Yang was even more busy, so...
"Lin Yunji, you wait for my mother!"

Under the sun, Zhang Cai, who had been dark for a while, complained that Lin Yang didn't care about the fragrance and cherish the jade, and at the same time, he hurriedly directed the people to grab the grain and record how much they harvested, especially the output of the official farmland. As the former opponent of Iron Man, Zhang Cai read There are so many, she dares to assure that "no one knows Iron Man better than me".The Iron Man Empire is a bandit empire, autumn is the harvest season, how could the bandits not come?

Robbers are coming to attack, how can there be no food at hand?
【What a peaceful day】

On the day of autumn harvest, looking around, countless farmers are sweating profusely and wielding their sickles, taking away bundles of golden wheat from one acre to another.Although the ears of wheat are not full, although the output is very low, and although it is necessary to meet the high-intensity "[-]-[-]% sharing" of the military village, at least the people in this world will be left with the right to "have food" in the coming year, at least those who were once refugees People, now I have some surplus food at home.

The reality tells the people of Zaku that as long as they don’t starve to death, they will pay ten million taxes.

There is no way, the Zhagu Empire is full of people, think about the refugees all over the place in Yunzhou, then think about the hundreds of thousands of poor people who have fallen into bandits in Onozawa, and there are countless good thoughts of freezing to death and selling themselves as slaves There are too many, Zhang Cai can't help but "mourn the hardships of the people's livelihood", and at the same time thank his adoptive father.

The people's livelihood is so difficult. There is no remaining land in the country. They fled all the way to settle on the soles of their feet and settled in the border areas.Only a large amount of rye, a crop that grows with weeds, can adapt to the aridity and barrenness of this frontier.

There are also those who grow wheat and barley, but most of them are on farmland close to water, and the amount is so small that it can be ignored.Therefore, the wheat and barley stored in Wenquanzhai were transported by merchants from other places, or by the imperial military department from other places.

A glimpse of the whole leopard can be seen, the hot spring village is like this, needless to say the rest of the empire's military villages, no wonder the empire's military expenditure is huge.

Of course, besides barley, wheat, and rye, there were also fields of oats.Oatmeal is good, it can be eaten by humans and horses, it can be used by humans and animals, it is not only food, but also feed for horses.Anyone who knows horses knows that only feed the horses grass and wait until the horses are as thin as firewood sticks. Horses eat very finely, especially war horses. Long fat.

"How many fields have been harvested? How many fields are still unharvested? Just estimate how long it will take." In his spare time, Zhang Cai asked about the progress.

It's been a long time since I went to the fields, and Ye Lixiao lived a good life for too long, his body that should be strong has become precious, and Zhang Cai's waist hurts.

"There are still [-] mu." Someone replied, "It is impossible to predict when the harvest will be finished. There are too few people working in the village. If there are more, the remaining [-] mu will be harvested soon."

Knowing what he meant, Zhang Cai said clearly: "Don't think about the labor force. Only the God of Cupid will know when the iron man will attack. At this time, it is time to train quickly, so as not to panic when it happens."

After a pause, he said affirmatively: "1803 soldiers, generals, etc., can't move!"

Hearing the words, the man was disappointed and didn't speak.

After a busy day, Zhang Cai returned to Zhizhai's mansion, lying on his back to rest, next to Lin Yang who was yawning and busy with military affairs. He was about to fall asleep from yawning, so Zhang Cai had to spend his rest time doing business.

"Yunji, the army village is too short of people, especially young and middle-aged people. I wonder if we should recruit some refugees from the country to enrich the village before winter begins."

Zhang Cai added: "Even if it's not for war preparation and soldiers, it should be recruited for the future. As you can see, only [-] mu of land has been reclaimed from [-] mu of land, and there are so many unused land. It is a waste to leave it unused." !"

Lin Yang looked at her: "The opinion is very good, but is it too late? As soon as the refugees come, there are thousands of them. If you accept the refugees at this time, don't become a loophole in the defense of the army camp. Even if it is not a loophole, you must It will take a long time to raise them, at least until next year’s summer harvest, the burden is too great.”

After saying this, Lin Yang changed his subject: "However, you can take the lead with your sword. This kind of recruiting must be young and strong, and it will not be scattered. It just costs money, but it can't be too much."

Lin Yang didn't even speak half of what he said, Zhang Cai naturally didn't understand, but Lin Yang had a way, if he didn't understand it, he didn't understand it, anyway, Lin Yang is a knowledgeable village, and knowing the village is not in a hurry, what is the female secretary anxious about? ?
The issue of the labor force has been left aside for the time being, and Zhang Cai has another suggestion: "Yunji, I have observed that some of the land on the hillside is not worth reclamation, and it would be too wasteful to build it all into pastures. It is better to transplant some cold- and drought-resistant fruit trees to improve the soldiers and the common people. There is a shortage of fruits in frontiers for daily needs, and the price of fruits sold by vendors is quite expensive. If you can produce them yourself, it will not only reduce your expenses, but also increase your food and boost your morale."

"You can even sell it to earn some military expenses, or exchange horses?"

"Change horses? Who do you want to change?"

"Iron Man Bar"

"Heh, not to mention whether Iron Man is short of fruits, the laws of the empire alone can't get around it. Zhang Cai, I think you should take the time to read the laws of the empire, lest you don't know if you break the law one day."

"Can the laws of the empire restrain the nobles of the upper three ranks?" Zhang Cai asked with a smile.

Lin Yang also smiled and said, "It's impossible, but sometimes it depends on whether it's worth it or not. Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's your previous proposal."

Lin Yang frowned and said, "It's a good idea, but the weather in Wenquan Village... I don't know if Apple can adapt to it. I'll ask Ma Peng and Yishang tomorrow."

After a few days of writing, Lin Yang's demeanor gradually changed, and he became more stable.

Zhang Cai has nothing to say, rest, she will be responsible for the autumn harvest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

worn out!
