Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 84

Post station, as the name suggests, is a small village near the post station.

Such a place name has eight hundred if not one thousand in Datang. It is a very ordinary small village.

There are grass-roots organizations under the ri, four neighbors and five neighbors as security, which means that Zeng Mu has five security chiefs under his command.

Originally, the head of the post was an officer of the Doulu Army. This officer was usually in Shazhou City, and the affairs of the post were handled by these five chiefs.

This officer was involved in the treason case of the fifth school lieutenant, and had already been dismissed and investigated. The five security chiefs were very panicked, for fear that they would also be liquidated.

So they respected Zeng Mu very much, and when Zeng Mu took office, they immediately cleaned out the empty wooden house where the village head used to live and work temporarily.

Zeng Mu looked at the yellow and emaciated faces of the five Baochangs in short jackets in front of him. He wanted to put on a show of inner length, but he didn't know how to do it.

Forget it, it's not important, as a veteran farming player, Zeng Mu knows his most important task.

"Guardians, the head of the village has just arrived today, so please tell me about the situation in the post."

The five security chiefs looked at me and I looked at you, and finally the youngest security chief, Jiang Zhong, who was nearly fifty years old, came out.

"My lord, we have a total of 130 households in Yixiali, with a total population of 350 people."

Although it is said that one hundred households is one mile, there are more or less in actual situations. On the forum, the mile long players refer to the site where they take office as an open blind box.

In the Twelve Workshops in Shazhou City, the contribution point of the exchange workshop is 200 points. This is considered a high-priced blind box, and only heavy krypton gold players can afford it.The twelve squares in the city are also the most prosperous, and the infrastructure is also the most sound. The largest square can have nearly 200 residents.

Nowadays, Datang Fengyun does not have a krypton gold system, and those who can save so many contribution points are all players with severe krypton liver.

Twenty villages close to the city, because they are close to the city, have well-developed infrastructure such as water conservancy and irrigation, and the price is 150 contribution points. This is considered a micro-krypton player, and the general population is around 150 households.

In places far away from the city, all of them are priced at 100 contribution points, and at this time it is time to open the blind box.

What kind of territory to drive to, how many residents there are, what kind of infrastructure is on the territory, and what special resources are there, it all depends on luck.

Zeng Mu is the second test player, relying on the construction site to move bricks and ashes, plus the reward for guarding the governor's mansion in Shazhou, he finally got together a hundred contribution points.

Originally planning to exchange an account for a friend, when the "expansion pack" was updated, Zeng Mu used all his contribution points to exchange for a position in Lizheng.

Looking at some village chiefs who have been appointed on the forum, I found that there are only [-] households in the village, and that is the most rubbish money to open a blind box, and there is nowhere to cry.

Zeng Mu heard Jiang Zhong's report that there were actually 130 households in this posthouse, which is not bad.

Moreover, Liulin Station, which is close to the official road in Yixiali, has a traffic advantage.

"Are there any facilities in this station?"

The five security chiefs looked at each other, and then Jiang Zhong said: "Go back to Li Chang, there are only three wells in the post."

What?Just three wells?Isn't this station too poor?

However, as an experienced farming player, Zeng Mu knows the most important resource in farming - population!
Whether it's a real-time strategy game or a farming and development game, population is the most important thing.Only with population, can build facilities to develop agricultural industry.

However, this population is a population that needs to be able to work. The old, weak, sick and disabled cannot work, so they are naturally not counted as labor force.

So Zeng Mu asked: "Then let me ask you, how many young and strong are there in the entire post?"

The five security chiefs, all with gray hair, looked at each other and said, "Master Lichang, what do you mean by young and strong?"

"It is an adult male over the age of 23 and under the age of 50."

According to the Tang system, men were granted land at the age of 23, which can be regarded as the age of adulthood stipulated by the Tang Dynasty.

It was Jiang Zhong who said: "Master Li Chang, you are the only young and strong in our post."

What?Only me?Zeng Mu almost lost his breath, because he was the only one able to work in the entire post.

Seeing that Zeng Mu was about to lose his temper, Jiang Zhong immediately said, "However, there are 80 healthy women in our post, all of whom are good at work!"

A healthy woman is a strong woman. There are 130 households in the entire post, but there is not a single young man?
Is it a fugitive?Zeng Mu's expression turned ugly and he said: "There are 130 households in the post, and none of them are young and strong. Are they trying to escape Ding Yong from the court?"

Ding Yong is levied according to the land-grant males. The first possibility that Zeng Mu thought of was that the villagers deliberately hid Dingkou in order to evade taxes.

Jiang Zhong shouted for injustice and said: "Ah, all the young and strong people in our post have been taken away by the court."

"Last year when the bandits rebelled, the imperial court recruited soldiers from Longyou. First they drew one out of five men, and then one out of three men. Now there is no news. They don't know whether they are dead or alive."

Zeng Mu remained silent. Nine out of ten of the Ding Zhuang who smoked last year died in the Tongguan battle. Even if they were lucky enough to survive, they probably became refugees.

Jiang Zhong said again: "Last autumn to guard against Tubo's invasion, the governor's mansion drew another ding, one household gave out one ding, and our station gave out [-] ding, even my age went to the battlefield, and only ten people came back in the end. "

Zeng Mu asked: "Ten people come back? Aren't they still young and strong?"

"Returning to the head of the village, the villagers in our station have to send out ten males to serve in the Liulin station every year. Now all the males in the entire post are working in the Liulin station."

Now the five security chiefs all knelt on the ground and said: "Master Li Chang, I really can't live happily in the post! Now every family is mourning, and they have to rely on the women in the family to work."

Jiang Zhong said again: "My eldest son went to Guanzhong, so far there is no news of his death. The second son died in the battle at Dangjin Pass. I snatched the body back from the battlefield."

"In addition to the old man, there are two grandchildren of the old wife who has been ill for a long time. If the imperial court conscripts again, only the old man will go to the battlefield in armor."

Zeng Mu suddenly thought of a poem, and began to recite it in a low voice:

In Shihao Village, there are officials who catch people at night.

The old man walked over the wall, and the old woman went out to look.

How angry are the officials!Why bother a woman crying.

Listening to the speech made by the wife, the three men were garrisoned in Yecheng.

One man attached the book, and the second man died in battle.

Those who survive and steal their lives, the dead are long gone!

There is no one in the room, only the grandchildren.

The grandmother has not gone, and there is no end to the dress.

Although the old woman's strength is weak, please return from the official night.

Anxious to respond to Heyang battle, you still have to prepare the morning meal.

Yejiu's voice is exquisite, like a sobbing sob.

Tianming has a bright future, farewell to the old man alone.

Seeing the five security chiefs under him, Zeng Mu helped Jiang Zhong up and said, "It will be fine, the head of the village is here, and the rest of the post will be fine!"
