A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 384: The good man is busy opening up the world
After finally waiting until the next day, as soon as the city gate opened, a large number of people poured in and rushed to the government office.

As a result, when we arrived at the government office, we saw that the notice had been re-posted above the government office. The other conditions had not changed, but the original cattle were gone and turned into horses.

Seeing that there were no more cattle, the common people asked why the change had occurred, and the petty officials did not know the reason.Seeing that the original cattle turned into horses, many people hesitated. As a result, not many people were willing to sign up.

On the third day, when they saw the notice posted, the horse turned into a donkey. Now the people waiting and watching were even more unwilling. However, some people were worried that if it changed again tomorrow, the rewards they would receive would be less. ?
So these people still went to sign up.

As a result, on the fourth day, when they saw the donkey turned into a sheep, these people were completely panicked and ran to the government office to sign up, willing to go to the four counties in Hexi.

A large number of people came to sign up. As a result, the number of people signing up today was ten times more than the number of people in the previous days combined.

By the fifth day, a new notice was posted and the sheep were gone, leaving only iron farm tools, salt and grain.Seeing this, more people signed up.

Jiang Shuo successfully immigrated tens of thousands of people in just a few days.And the number of immigrants is growing rapidly.And the rewards for immigrants have not been reduced any more.

Jiang Shuo eventually immigrated more than 5 people to Yingchuan County, and then followed this method to recruit people from populous prefectures and counties such as Huai'an County, Qi County, Jinling County, and Xiangyang County.

After Jiang Shuo's continuous efforts, 21 people were finally moved to the four counties of Hexi in the 50st year of Tianming.

The originally desolate four counties of Hexi finally have some inhabitants.

Coupled with the continued liquidation of powerful officials, the population of the four counties in Hexi will continue to grow in the coming years.

After Wang Jing defeated the Xiongnu, he found that the population of Daqian was increasing, and he began to set his sights on the edges of the Zhuxia lands. These lands had always been far away from Daqian due to climate, population, etc., but now they are just between the Central Plains. The area is overpopulated and people are migrating outward.

But migration can't just move the honest people of Badajiao. Although those places were pacified by Daqian, there were also barbarians. What's more, Wang Jing also wanted to expand the territory.

Guanzhong.

The hometown of the Qin State, since the defeat of the Qin State, it has been divided into several counties such as Guanzhong, Fengxiang, and Anding.

Guanzhong was originally a land of abundance, with thousands of miles of fertile wilderness and dense population. Now it has been recuperating for decades, and Guanzhong has become one of the most densely populated areas in the world.

Since ancient times, the people of Qin have been brave in fighting. After Shang Yang's reform, the soldiers of Qin were famous all over the world for their bravery, and they are still so now.

In Hua County, hundreds of men were fighting in the farmland with wooden sticks and bamboo poles.

These people were not fighting randomly, but were fighting in a very organized formation. Although Shang Yang's reform and Da Qin were gone, some things had been engraved in their bones.

The strong men in the front row hold wooden sticks and bamboo poles in one hand and shields in the other, lining up in a row to attack each other, while those in the back hold bamboo bows made of bamboo slices and continuously shoot arrows into the sky.

There was even the sound of drums when the two sides advanced and retreated, and everyone shouted chants to advance and retreat together. Even the frequency of attacks was quite different.

These young men quickly became red-eyed, and the battle became more and more fierce. The young men did not flinch even if they were beaten to a bloody head.Because these people are competing for water sources, although the court has built many water conservancy facilities, every village here will compete for water every year, unless there is abundant rain this year.

These villages compete for water sources because they want to plant crops as early as possible. After all, the farming time is only about half a month. If the time is missed, the food production will be reduced by then.

If they lose the fight for the water source, then they will have no choice but to use the water. Then the whole village will suffer. If they shrink from this kind of battle, they will not even be able to enter the ancestral hall when the time comes to worship their ancestors, let alone find a good wife. .

More importantly, if they lose, the surrounding villages will suffer even more.

Of course, there are limits to this kind of fighting. Iron weapons are not allowed, only wooden sticks and bamboos can be used, for fear of killing people.When the government is alerted, everyone will be in trouble.

This kind of situation is common in many places in Zhuxia, and the government turns a blind eye.This is because there are such good men and people with such martial virtues, it is easy for the court to form a large number of elites when it recruits an army.

Although this approach can easily breed powerful people, as long as these powerful people cross the line, the court will deal with them.

Each of them is skilled in bow and horse, and the good men with guns and clubs are the elite reserve forces of the army.

In real history, this trend continued until the Song Dynasty. From then on, the good man became a roll call of Donghuamen, while the martial artist became a lowly profession.

Da Qian naturally won't worry about this at this stage. Da Qian is only worried about not having sufficient martial ethics now.

On the hillside, the fighting was still going on. The Zhang and Zhao families already had deep grudges. The slightest incident would cause a big fight between the two villages, not to mention the fact that they were fighting for water.

On the 'battlefield', the Zhang brothers became more and more courageous as they fought, became more proficient in changing battle formations, and already had the upper hand.The Zhao family was beaten back and forth, screaming and almost collapsed.

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came, and then a large flag of the Inspection Department appeared on the hill. Under the flag were twenty or thirty cavalrymen of the Inspection Department.

The young men of the Zhang family and the Zhao family, who were fighting fiercely, felt bad after seeing the banner of the inspection department. If they were arrested, they would definitely be punished with labor such as repairing canals or transporting food.

There was no need to shout at all, it was just a matter of breathing. The young men who were fighting broke out and fled in all directions, fearing that they would be caught by the inspection department and sentenced to hard labor if they ran too slowly.

"Shangguan Zhang, please take a look. This is the place with the most fierce folk customs in Guanzhong. It is densely populated and fights for water every year, almost a dozen a month." The inspection department said respectfully.

"Okay, okay, they are all good men!" Zhang Shangguan said with eyes shining.This time the imperial court wanted to immigrate to the border and open up land, so it needed such a good man.

Waiter Zhang looked at the young and strong men who had dispersed and said, "I wonder if there is a county man among these people!"

"If there are some county officials among these rabbits, it will really be a glorious ancestor!" the inspection inspector laughed.

Although the imperial court also moved common people to the border this time, they were given military positions and equipped with weapons and armor. Although the armor was only leather armor and the weapons were average, it was enough to deal with the barbarians.
