When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 291 There is a small situation in the west of the Xin family
After finishing the meeting with Wu Zhongmi and finalizing the purchase of Huairou, Xinqu immediately ordered the establishment of Huairou City.

Then the plague-infected people and their families controlled by the Xin family were moved over.

The forest camp was abandoned and was of no use for a while. The newly opened Huairou City was also intended to become a new trading point.

For Shanrong, whether the Lingzhi clan wins or the Wuzhong clan wins in the future, Huairou will have the Xin clan's garrison and market in the northeast, and it will also be the eastern defense line of Dahei Mountain and Dayang Mountain.

After the purchase was finalized this time, the boundary between the Xin family and the Lingzhi family was pushed north to "Shengtangyu"

The water left from the upper reaches of Shentang Valley in later times would have stopped at Yanqi Lake before being divided, but now there is no such lake, only several braided rivers.

Xin Qu directly decided on the strongest main road as Yanqichuan.

With Yanqichuan as the boundary, to the north is the Lingzhi family's Miyun territory, and to the south is the Huairou territory, which is directly managed by the Xin family.

The two parties agreed that the territory was over, and a group of cattle and sheep were handed over on the third day.

"Chief, this has made the branch rich! Let me go! So many cows!"

Xinqu brought several chiefs from the grasslands and natives to trade.

Tuye grinned, feeling incredible.

"Indeed, it seems like I'm getting... rich!"

Chief Canuya of the Earth Dog Tribe was shocked by the transaction between the Xin family and the Ling branch. With the size of the batch of more than 1000 cows in front of him, if they were given to the Earth Dog Tribe, they would create a tribe with a population of more than 3000 people!
As a result, he sold it to the Youxin family, and instead of taking all the food, he took half of the IOU slips.

It’s hard to imagine that the other party actually delivered the cow directly without taking away the equivalent value of millet.

"Check the epidemic situation, and then take it to the upper reaches of Linlong River for isolation for a period of time."

Xinqu was not in a hurry to take the cattle away, but asked people to take them up to Linlong River. Military stations had recently been built on both sides of Dahei Mountain and Dayang Mountain, and troops could be garrisoned.

In addition, he set fire to a large area of ​​mountain forest last time, and this area has become a charcoal collection point, but life can always grow in the ashes, and hillside pastures suitable for grazing have been formed by themselves.

Very suitable for grazing.

Xinqu's approach was out of caution.

Animals can also get plague.

……

Next, it is time for the families in the east to actively fight the plague.

Everyone is busy solving the plague, and no one has the intention to start a war.

But for the west, not many people are fighting now, because the spring famine is basically over. The Xin family moved to the Lai family camp before. The opponent did not rely on the Xuanhua camp with the Xin family to start the camp. Between the Xuanhua camps, I found another place with mountains and water, and set up my own camp.

Then they recruited prairie people who fled to the west to further supplement their strength.

The four departments are basically stable at this stage.

The Xin family promised to give them food, and they certainly did not give them less. However, in order to enhance their own power, Tiao Ku cooperated with Xing Rendong as expected, controlled the allocation of resources, and distributed it as much as possible to the men recruited by Tiao Ku.

Through these resources, these men have become a small force. One person controls about ten households. Although it is a small number, there are 600 people gathered together. This is the core strength that Tiao Ku holds.

Of course, her allocation like this will inevitably cause dissatisfaction from the Lin Department.

As the strongest tribe within the Lai clan, they had long been prepared to take over the Lai clan.

But it is a pity that the Lai family has now found the Youxin family as a backer.

And how strong is the Xin family?

The Snake Hao tribe of the Rong clan had to stay in Shanggu to accept Xin Qu's order. However, the Snake Hao tribe in Shanggu, after intense expansion in the past few months, had moved eastward into the Huai'an area in the west, and directly became a A medium-sized tribe spanning nearly fifty kilometers from east to west - with a total population of up to 500 people.

It is almost possible to completely escape the control of the Xin family.

However, Snake Hao was attacked from three sides by the Xin family, Tufang and the grassland people, and was forced to succumb to Xin Qu's orders.

If she was disobedient, Xinqu could directly cut off the communication line between the Snake Hao tribe and the Yourong clan in the south, and directly let her become a wandering grassland tribe.You can even flank her with Hijikata and erase her directly.

So Lin Bu couldn't help but feel fear after staying here for a while and coming into contact with several nearby forces.

If the Xin family really wanted to demolish the Lai family, it would be a matter of just one sentence.

Because the talkers in the north of Shanxi are mainly the Xin family, Tufang, and grassland people. But the grassland people have now completely entered the summer, and the grass is growing and the eagles are flying. They have begun to gradually move northward and no longer toss in the south.

In short, Lin Bu was very dissatisfied with the internal distribution of the Lai family and Tiao Ku's approach, but he could not find a way to fight against the behemoth.

It wasn't until they were nomadic that they strayed into the south, entered Hijikata's sphere of influence, and then came into contact with Hijikata's forces. Only then did they learn about Hijikata's recent predicament.

"Dad, this earthwork is too inferior! It's actually divided internally! Maybe we can lead some people to go east to fight against the Youxin clan?"

Lin BoYu excitedly put forward his idea.

To say that the person who most wants to see the Xin family suffer, it must be him, Lin Boyu.

Why has he been busy for so long, all to make wedding clothes for Tiao Ku and Youxin?
The Xin family moved them from the east to the west without any effort, and they had to rebuild their living quarters.Angry, Lin Boyu strongly advocated nomadic farming instead of nomadic farming.

After all, the Xin family's forces stationed in Xuanhua Camp are a typical combination of farming and animal husbandry.

Then they took people from their ministries to work on reclamation and combing the river channels, squeezing their labor hard.

As a result, this group of people didn't know what happened, and gradually began to get out of their control. Some men who came back to see their families after a break actually ran away with their families overnight while they were not paying attention.

After catching a few, they found out after questioning that the salary offered by the Xin family was twice as much as the salary they received!
But when I came back and asked, I found out that half of the food distributed originally went into the pockets of the nobles. They, the lower class people and slaves, were also inevitably oppressed.

But Lin Boyu and the others also have something to say!What is nobility?Be decent!To live!Can we do without resources?

If you can prevent your family from starving to death, you have to be grateful.

This is also the reason why Lin Bu left Lai's territory and went south to graze.

However, this time he encountered some forces from Hijikata, and Lin Boyu wanted to lure them to break with the Youxin clan.

Only by muddying the water can they fish in troubled waters.

However, the leader of the Lin tribe denied it: "The most important thing now is to prepare food."

"Dad! Fight in! Are you still short of food?"

Lin Boyu said anxiously: "The Xin family has 10,000+ acres of land nearby in Yongning, Yanqing, and Huailai. That's all food!"

Near Yongning, there were wasteland and other land left by the Jinyun family. Xinqu set fire to it, brought the ox plow over, quickly sorted it out, and started extensive planting.

There are indeed 10,000+ acres of land near Yongning City and the land on both sides of the Guishui River. But except for the irrigated land on both sides of the Guishui River, the yield of other dry land can be [-] kilograms per mu. Thank God.

After all, the land here is truly extensive. In addition to watering the land, slaves are also used to weed the land. After the fire has passed, the seeds are left behind and left alone.

But when Lin Boyu took people to work for the Youxin family, he went there to weed weeds and found out that the Youxin family also had a large farmland in Shanxi.

If you estimate the food inside, 400 to [-] million kilograms will definitely not be a problem.

Based on the food consumption of two kilograms per day for an adult, 400 million kilograms is enough to feed 500 people for a year!
With a little saving, it will definitely not be a problem to feed 5000 people for seven to eight months.

Therefore, Lin Boyu thought of serving as a guide for the tribes that had defected from Tufang. However, the head of the Lin tribe frowned slightly. He was not sure that these Tufang tribes really dared to provoke the Youxin clan.

At least for now, although these Tufang tribes have no relationship with the Youxin clan, they still stay in their respective territories tacitly.

"Wait a little longer and check the situation first."

"This..." Lin Boyu felt angry in his heart when he saw that the old man had become so timid and fearful of things.

But no matter what, the Lin Department would not listen to him. The old man was the leader. Although he was called the heir, he was not qualified to challenge the old man's authority.

I couldn't help but get sulky and went to find a place to drink to relieve my boredom.
