Now that he decided to return to Yunchui and handed over everything, he directly led the team to bid farewell to the stone forest and headed east in a mighty way.
Tie Le and his friends and relatives traveled twenty miles before turning around and returning.
Having just taken over this good place, they, the bosses, have a lot to do.
"Sir," Allen said without following the caravan and You Mengdong, his face was full of weirdness, "Do we really want to listen to my uncle's words and cultivate land near the stone forest and grow food?"
Before, almost no one in Xiliang had tried to live a life of farming at sunrise and resting at sunset.
"You can give it a try." Tie Le nodded.
Although he was talking about trying, Tiele's tone did not allow for refutation.
He studied in Yunchui, so he knew farmers' attachment to the land.
As long as you have your own land, you may not be able to drive them away with a knife.
The people of the grassland are accustomed to nomadic herding, so they do not have a deep affection for the land or the tribe.
When the tribe is strong, they will come to rely on them and communicate with each other. However, if anything goes wrong, they will immediately leave.
Therefore, Ren Ning had a detailed chat with Tiele and asked him to decide to try growing food without giving up herding, and try to let the tribe's herders settle down completely.
As long as the land is used to retain their hearts, these people will become the main force no matter whether Kailun wants to attack or defend externally in the future.
It's not just about relying on previous blood ties to maintain ties.
"But we don't have seeds." Allen was worried.
Tiele laughed: "We have a caravan but are we afraid of not having seeds? Let's plan the place for farming first."
east.
The sound of horse hooves is dull.
In addition to the food and grass for the return trip, the group also brought some gold, silver and jewelry stolen from Archduke Langston. It can be said that they returned with a full load.
No matter how poor the Principality of Langston is, it is still a principality.
Except for those given to Kai Lun, there were still countless more given to small soldiers like Gu Datou.
What's on horseback is only a small part of it. According to Ren Ning and Tiele, the rest of the wealth will have to be moved to the east bit by bit by caravans.
Everyone was smiling.
"When I returned to the fortress this time, I exchanged these gold and silver jewels for silver notes and sent them all back to my hometown. I asked my family to buy some fields. From now on, my parents and children no longer have to suffer the contempt of the landlords."
Ha ha.
Someone smiled and patted the heavy bag behind him, "With these, it's no problem to buy a few farms, let alone some fields."
"General," several soldiers rushed to Ren Ning's side with smiles, "Where is your village? We want our family to move near the general's village so that we can take care of them."
After spending these days and nights together, they could see Ren Ning's temperament.
Even though he knows how to fight, he doesn't take the credit of his subordinates. He is absolutely worthy of trust.
Ren Ning smiled: "My family property? Most of it should be in Guangxin County."
He raised his head and looked southeast.
Maybe Ying Pan, Zhongyong Bofu and Li Hezhu of the family have bought most of the available mountain and forest land in Guangxin County.
"Guang Xin." The soldiers muttered, "Then let's discuss it."
They come from all over the world, and even though their families are very poor, they still hesitate when they hear about the distant southern Xinjiang.
"You guys are talking about nothing." Gu Datou scolded people directly.
"Who is Lao Ren? Since he would choose to buy property there, it means that Guangxin is definitely a good place."
He analyzed it with his fingers.
"Nanfeng has been destroyed, Guangxin Commandery is tough, and Zhennanguan General Yuan Xingwen is famous for being a benevolent general. Therefore, no one dares to mess around there anymore."
"In addition, the local climate is hot and the rainfall is abundant. I heard that you can even grow rice for three seasons. So you will never go hungry when you move to Guangxin."
"After returning to the fortress, I immediately repaired the book and asked the second brother at home to move to Guangxin. Lao Ren remembered to ask my sister-in-law to send someone to help him."
Lu Youtian nodded repeatedly, "I also agree with what Datou said."
"There are thirty counties in total in Yunchui, and the land and farms in the ten superior counties are the most popular. It's just that you can hardly buy them without connections or ruthlessness."
"The ten medium-sized counties are also not easy to buy, but they are also almost in remote areas."
"Although Guangxin is a lower-class county, as Datou said, there are many advantages there, and the land is relatively cheap. It is worth moving there."
The other soldiers listened with thoughtful expressions on their faces.
After Ren Ning heard this, he looked at Gu Datou's shining forehead strangely.
"Datou, when did you pay attention to the geography of each county?"
In the past, Gu Datou didn't care about anything except eating, sleeping, training and fighting.
hey-hey.
Gu Datou touched his forehead and smiled.
"When we were at the fortress, we always scolded our commander as a weakling with no eggs. He looked displeased whether he looked at him vertically or horizontally."
"Later, the Eighth Cavalry Battalion was almost crippled and we entered the grassland. There were enemies on all sides, and each one was stronger than the last. Only then did we realize that it was not easy for you to go forward."
"Since so many brothers have put their lives in our hands, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and think more about it."
Ren Ning nodded with satisfaction.
He looked at Gu Datou and Lu Youtian, "It's a good thing to learn to think. Come on! Sooner or later, you and Lao Lu will become famous tiger generals in Yunchui."
Among the group of people, only Lei Er looked sad.
"What's there to be happy about? Gold and silver treasures are just commonplace things. I still want to take a little eagle back and train it."
Ha ha.
"Lei Er, don't even think about it." Gu Datou and others behind him laughed.
"Kailun only has a little eagle now. Yang Lan is very precious and will definitely not give it away."
"Besides, we don't know how to train falcons."
Lei Er patted the fiery red Ben Lei under him, "I can train Ben Lei with a bad temper even when he was a child. A mere eagle is nothing!"
When the red horse heard his name, he thought his master was praising him, so he started to bleat.
When it calls, Chai Feng also calls.
"Next time." Ren Ning comforted his mount, "I left a message for Tie Le. When Yanglan's eaglet grows up and turns to the mother eagle, let him find a way to give us an egg."
Training an eagle is much more difficult than training a horse. A half-grown horse can be trained, but an eagle can only develop feelings from an early age.
They can shoot an eagle from the sky at any time, but it is almost impossible to make it obey.
Some soldiers gloated, "Well, Lei Er, you have to wait."
cut!
Lei Er didn't care at all.
"Isn't it just a matter of one or two years? Besides, maybe we will switch to the fortress in August. Then I will sneak in and find a way to take one back."
Speaking of this, he looked at Ren Ning, "Old Ren, will the legion be transferred to the fortress this year?"
Ren Ning was silent for a long time, "It's hard to say."
As Emperor Changxing grew older, his temperament became more and more eccentric. At first, he went beyond the customs of the Ministry of War and transferred the Xingluo Army to Guangxin.
The Minister of War, Guanyi, was very unhappy about this. However, the Xingluo Legion casually destroyed Nanfeng.
He didn't dare to talk much.
And Emperor Changxing also tasted the benefits of this. In the past two years, a bunch of civil servants used wonderful pens to praise him as something unprecedented in the sky and on earth, unprecedented and unprecedented.
Ren Ning sighed: "It is estimated that the Ministry of War will not be able to do much in this defense change. It just depends on whether the west or the north is more important in Your Majesty's mind."
Lei Er nodded: "What does General Wei mean?"
He knew something about Xingluo, and he knew that this legion general could sometimes turn the clouds over and turn the rain into rain. However, people in Xingji City still thought it was his true thoughts.
Ren Ning lowered his voice and chuckled: "You know."
Lei Er nodded.
Of course he understands.
Wei Junqian has been running pipelines across the high mountains of the Xingluo Basin to deliver medicine and food to the fortress, and even set up windmills to communicate. It is not difficult to guess his thoughts.
