Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 767
After Chu Ruifeng led the army to leave, Qiaoyun naturally had to take over the entire affairs of Luzhou, and at the same time be responsible for the logistics supply of the two armies in the north and south, so he was very busy at the same time.Fortunately, the son is very good, and Ling Yaer and the others are also very capable, taking care of the child very attentively.Therefore, Qiaoyun only needs to breastfeed the doll every day, and leave the rest to the maids.

In September, the crops have been harvested, and the winter wheat is almost sown.At the same time, all the cotton that Qiaoyun planted here has been harvested.Qiaoyun led people to experiment with growing cotton in Zhuangzi and some of the official fields. This year's output is still relatively good, and after several years of domestication, the quality of cotton is better than before.

Qiaoyun has long planned to promote the cotton textile industry in Luzhou, so he ordered people to build a weaving workshop in a certain place in the west of Luzhou City. Now that the cotton is coming down, the weaving workshop will officially start operation .There is no need to worry about manpower, there are many young women in Luzhou City, and it is still very easy to recruit some female workers.

Of course, many handymen are also needed in the weaving workshop, and these people try to find them from refugees who have fled from various places.On the one hand, this can solve the problem of labor in the weaving workshop and reduce costs. At the same time, it can also accommodate refugees, so that these people have something to do, so that they will not wander the streets every day and cause trouble for the governance of Luzhou City.

In fact, Chu Ruifeng and his wife attached great importance to the resettlement of refugees. Most of the men were conscripted into the army, while older people and women, etc., were arranged to farm in Zhuangzi or official farms outside the city as much as possible.However, with the intensification of all kinds of exorbitant taxes from the imperial court and the reputation of Luzhou, many refugees still came to Luzhou to find a way out.

As a result, the refugees were naturally unable to make arrangements, and it took Qiaoyun a lot of brains to settle these people.With the weaving workshop, a large number of people can be arranged. As for the rest, they can only be allowed to open up wasteland and farm outside the city.

Naturally, for the refugees who agreed to open up wasteland, Qiaoyun promised those people that no tax would be collected on the wasteland opened up within five years.At the same time, the government will temporarily help provide the needed cattle seeds, etc., and these will be deducted uniformly after the grain is received.In this way, the refugees have been effectively resettled. Except for some old, weak, sick and disabled who are alone and need special care from the government, the rest of them will go their own way and will not affect the governance of Luzhou.

Not only Luzhou, but other refugees under the jurisdiction of the rebel army are also properly handled according to this side, and the government will appropriately subsidize some food to help them survive this winter.Therefore, although there are many refugees coming from all over the place, they have not caused any bad effects. After proper arrangements, these people have become part of the support for the development of production in various places.

With so many things busy, Qiao Yun really doesn't have much free time to worry about Chu Ruifeng.Besides, Chu Ruifeng would send letters back every two or three days, briefly explaining the battle situation there to Qiaoyun, so Qiaoyun felt quite relieved about her husband who was away on the expedition.

Chu Ruifeng led people, so he set up a suspicious formation, which confused the Liao army in Chizhou and Xuanzhou on the opposite side of the river, making them think that all the rebels were gathered in Wuwei and were ready to fight against the imperial army at any time.As a result, the Liao army in Chizhou and Xuanzhou on the opposite side did not dare to act rashly, and was hesitating for a while how to cross the river to attack.

But under such circumstances, Chu Ruifeng led an army of [-] to Chuzhou secretly, and then took advantage of the enemy's inattention, crossed the river by boat, and went straight to Yingtian.After the army crossed the river, they first captured Caishi, and using Caishi as their base, launched a fierce attack on Yingtian.

Yingtian's army strength was originally quite large, with [-] to [-] soldiers, but later the imperial court ordered troops to be dispatched to conquer the rebels, and half of them were withdrawn at once, so the strength of the guards was greatly weakened.In addition, the battle reports have always said that the rebel army was fighting against the Liao army in Xuanzhou, Chizhou. There was no defense at all here, and they were caught off guard.

Dalu Huachi from Yingtianfu hurriedly ordered people to break through the siege and go to Xuanzhou and Chizhou to move rescuers.However, at this time, the Liao army in Chizhou was besieged by the rebel army led by Xiao Jianming. The two sides were fighting, and the battle was so fierce that they could not spare any troops to rescue Yingtian.As for the Liao army in Xuanzhou, they were also dragged in by the [-] soldiers led by Qing Lei, and they were also unable to rescue them.

However, Yingtian was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, the city walls were strong, and the guards were relatively strict.Although Chu Ruifeng has some advantages in military strength, it is still difficult to win in a short time.Fortunately, there were a large number of rebels, and they besieged Yingtianfu City and attacked fiercely. After several fierce attacks, Yingtianfu was finally breached, and the rebels entered the city and occupied this ancient capital.

Chu Ruifeng had just occupied Yingtian, and the Liao army in Xuanzhou also struggled to get rid of the entanglement of Qinglei and others, and came to rescue.In the end, he never wanted to be one step too late, but threw himself into the trap and became Chu Ruifeng's prey directly, and was directly wiped out by Chu Ruifeng's army.On the other side of Xuanzhou City, Qinglei took advantage of the situation to attack, and the rebel army directly occupied two important cities in the south of the Yangtze River.

Chu Ruifeng occupied Yingtian here, and he didn't care about letting the army rest and recuperate. He directly led [-] elite soldiers to Chizhou, echoed with Xiao's east and west, wiped out the Liao army in Chizhou in one fell swoop, and captured Chizhou.In the following days, Chu Ruifeng led the army to conquer the east and west, and began the journey to the south of the Yangtze River.

Originally, there were quite a few rebels in the south of the Yangtze River, but they were only influenced by Chu Ruifeng and the Xiao family.Now that Chu Ruifeng's power has grown stronger, he seems to be the leader of the rebel army. Seeing this, the other small groups of rebel troops know that they will never be able to compete with Chu Ruifeng again.Instead of waiting for Chu Ruifeng to flatten Daliao before dealing with them, it is better to take the opportunity to join them, so many forces have joined them, and Chu Ruifeng's forces have become stronger and stronger.

Jiangnan has a vast territory, and Chu Ruifeng led his army to conquer east and west, fighting endlessly, conquering countless cities, and at the same time, the ranks of the rebel army gradually became stronger.As the territory occupied by the rebel army became larger and stronger, time passed in a hurry. In the blink of an eye, Chu Ruifeng had led the army to fight for more than two years, and it was another new year.

During the more than two years of fighting, the rebel army occupied most of the territory in the south of the Yangtze River, and its strength has grown to 50 to [-].Except for a few rebel forces who refused to take refuge, the rest of the rebel forces were also subdued, and Jiangnan was about to be included in the territory of the rebel army.

At the same time, the rebel army led by Qingxiao and Qingdian also achieved considerable results in the north. After more than a year of stalemate, they completely dragged down the [-] troops of the imperial court, and at the same time occupied Guide Mansion and Huai'an Most of the state and county town pools of the road.Afterwards, Qing Xiao and Qing Dian followed Chu Ruifeng's order to guard the newly occupied territories and did not participate in the war to pacify Jiangnan.
