Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

Chapter 7 Farming
In the entire Zhenbei Palace, there are not many people Su Yuan can trust.

Chu Changning counts as one, and the other is Uncle Yang.

Uncle Yang's original name was Yang Zhen, and he used to be the horse official in charge of Su Tufeng's horses. Later, when he got older, he became a housekeeper in the palace.

After Su Tufeng's death, when Su Yuan was driven to the West Mansion, Yang Zhen asked to go with him. For this reason, Zhou Yanran scolded him. If it wasn't for his age, he might have been whipped to death. No.

Also because of his loyalty, he was also locked up by Zhou Yanran on the night of the assassination.

Now that Su Yuan is done, Yang Zhen will naturally become the butler again.

At this moment, he was coming to the study to greet Su Yuan.

"Your Highness."

Seeing that Yang Zhen had gray hair and wanted to kneel down, Su Yuan immediately excused himself.

"Uncle Yang, you don't need to salute from now on."

"That's not allowed." Uncle Yang's old face was full of stubbornness, "This is the rule, and the old servant must not break the rule."

"Rules are not made by people." Su Yuan smiled, "I am the King of Zhenbei now, and I have made a new rule, that is, Uncle Yang, you don't need to salute when you see me."

Su Yuan did not actually inherit the title of King of Zhenbei.

Although he has the right to inherit, there is no doubt that the emperor will never issue an edict to him again, he will only treat him as a traitor and a traitor, and the edict will only issue something like a call for thieves.

There is nothing wrong with Su Yuan simply proclaiming himself King of Zhenbei.

Not to mention the "King of Zhenbei", he can now be regarded as the emperor's capital on his own.

The reason why he didn't do this was purely because he was not strong enough, proclaiming himself emperor too soon would only make the emperor furious and attract soldiers from all over the country to attack.

Besides, he hasn't figured out what kind of emperor he wants to be and what kind of country he wants to build.

Hearing what Su Yuan said, Yang Zhen was moved in his heart, saluted again, changed his address and said, "The old servant thanked the lord."

"Uncle Yang, you came to see me for something."

"Reporting to the prince, what do you plan to do with the servants in the house?"

"Um……"

In fact, many of the servants in the mansion were relatives of soldiers who died under Su Tufeng's command.

Su Tufeng thought about the difficulty of survival for the families of the fallen soldiers, so he recruited many people into the mansion and arranged some things for them to do.

These people said they were "servants", but actually Su Tufeng didn't treat them as servants, nor did he treat them badly.

It's just that things are different now.

After so many years, many of these people have become Zhou Yanran's confidantes.

After Su Yuan shot and killed Zhou Yanran and the two brothers Su Yue in Su Cheng, among these people, there were probably those who harbored resentment towards him.

Don't be afraid of [-], just be afraid of what happens.

Su Yuan didn't want to leave a hidden danger in the mansion.

"Uncle Yang, give each of them a settling money and let them leave the house."

"Yes, my lord."

Seeing that Su Yuan did not choose to kill them all, Yang Zhen also heaved a sigh of relief.

He was really worried that Su Tufeng, who was so loyal back then, would have a son who would kill without restraint.

Yang Zhen said again: "After dismissing them, I will select another group of loyal and reliable servants for the prince to serve him."

"There is no need for this. There are soldiers here, so there is no need to call people."

"How can this work? My lord, your soldiers are brave and invincible, but there are some trivial things in the mansion, they..."

"They can do it, Uncle Yang, don't worry."

There is no emotion in summoning soldiers, and they can do whatever Su Yuan asks them to do.

Since Su Yuan can let them march and fight, he can naturally let them plant flowers and grass, cook vegetables and cook rice.

even……

Su Yuan thought of the grain brochure he had read just now, and thought in his heart that he should send a group of soldiers to reclaim the farmland and grow grain.

Although these call soldiers who don't care about boredom have limited physical strength, they are much more efficient than those farmers when they do rest.

If a large amount of wasteland can be reclaimed, the granaries in the city will probably burst when the autumn harvest is over.

After all, although the summoned soldiers do not need to eat, other soldiers and even the common people still need it.Moreover, it is always a good thing to prepare more food, so that in times of famine, there will be no tragic scenes of starvation everywhere.

"The old servant understands." Seeing that Su Yuan insisted, Yang Zhen chose to give in.

"It's just, my lord, your soldiers can do those miscellaneous things... But, you must have a girl who warms the bed and covers your feet by your side."

"Uh... this, don't worry." Su Yuan touched his nose.

"Okay, then I will search for you in the city first for the prince."

"..."

Watching Yang Zhen leave, Su Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, thinking:

"Compared with finding a girl who warms the bed, I'm still more interested in farming now. This is the kingly way!"

He does it when he thinks about it.

Put on the armor, take several teams of personal guards, and go directly to the farmland near the outside of the city to inspect.

Sure enough, after talking with some old farmers and understanding the situation, Su Yuan confirmed his guess.

Around Beifeng City, there are really a lot of barren farmlands that no one cultivates.Lin Lin finally counted, at least there are thousands of acres of land.

It's not that the farmers don't want to plant, it's that there are not enough people to plant.

After all, farming in ancient times relied purely on human and animal power, without machinery, and the efficiency was very low.

After understanding clearly, Su Yuan took action immediately.

He summoned [-] Xiliang iron cavalry, asked them to take off their armor and weapons, put on peasant clothes, take hoes and wooden poles, and collectively go to develop the wasteland.

In order to ensure that the reclamation is correct, he also invited some old farmers who have been farming for decades to provide them with rich experience to ensure the efficiency of reclamation.

The old farmers were also very shocked by the tens of thousands of "farmers". Looking at these muscular men, they almost drooled - don't get me wrong, it's pure envy, and I wish I had such a strong man in my family. Han, how easy should that kind of land be!

For this reason, many old farmers inquired, and some wanted to spend some money to hire these Xiliang soldiers to help their homes.

When Su Yuan knew about this, his eyes lit up.

It must be a good thing to call soldiers to help farmers farm.

But "free" definitely won't work.

Everyone has a greedy heart. If these soldiers are allowed to go to the farmers' homes to help plant the land for free, the farmers will definitely feel dissatisfied when the soldiers are taken away in the future.

So Su Yuan planned to set an "employment fee". He had to discuss the specific amount with some professional accountants and old farmers.

After a busy day, Su Yuan returned to his residence and took a hot bath.

"Comfortable."

He was lying in the barrel with a smile on his face.

It was a tiring day, but the results were very much.

The barren farmland is now being reclaimed, and the grain reserves can be greatly increased by the time of the autumn harvest.

In ancient times, food was hard currency!His summoned soldiers don't need to eat, but everyone else can't do without two meals a day.

That's right, in Beifeng City...and even most of the towns in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the common people could only eat two meals a day, and couldn't afford three meals at all.

For these two meals, there is basically no meat, but some leafy vegetables and sweet potatoes.

With a large increase in food reserves, the common people will be able to live better.In addition, the money for farmers to hire and summon soldiers is also a considerable amount of financial income. Su Yuan can summon soldiers, but he cannot summon money.A lot of money is also very useful for him to strengthen himself.

"However, I can't just think about farming, I have to find a way to deal with the emperor's old son."

Su Yuan thought to himself, no matter how stupid the emperor is, it is impossible for him to sit back and watch him blatantly rebel.

There must be an army to attack him.

He is afraid but not afraid... First of all, there are [-] Xiliang iron cavalry, occupying an absolute advantage in this open plain terrain.

Secondly, he can also be summoned every week!Constantly increasing the soldiers of the heavens!

Now there are four more days before the next summon can be made... If one hundred thousand soldiers can be summoned again, it will be...

"However... there are still [-] to [-] troops stationed in the northern camp. If I want to avoid being attacked from both sides, then I must take it down before the emperor sends troops..."
