Zhao Hanzhang not only had Chang Ning's public house rearranged, but he also generously allocated him a house in the county town and assigned him a room of servants.
Anyway, she has no shortage of manpower now.
Chang Ning felt that Zhao Hanzhang valued him even before he officially started working. When he formally came into contact with the county affairs, he felt the deeper, because Zhao Hanzhang was really invisible and talked to him about all the county affairs.
He didn't even have time to get used to the new lord, and was frightened by the details she threw at him.
Looking at the data in his hand, he asked awkwardly: "This is?"
"This is the person we need to arrange," Zhao Hanzhang asked someone to hang up a simple map. The reason why it is called a simple map is because it only roughly drew areas one by one and marked the names.
This was drawn by Fu Tinghan after a rough estimate. The area figures above were also rough calculations, but the areas of wasteland and official fields were quite different.
Zhao Hanzhang motioned to Chang Ning to look at the map, "We decided to arrange people to various parts of Xiping County and let them cultivate the now abandoned land and official fields."
The surprise on Chang Ning's face slowly faded away, and she asked calmly: "But?"
Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him with satisfaction, and then said: "However, without a house, we now lack clothing, bedding, etc. to keep out the cold. Now it is time to plant winter wheat, and we cannot miss the farming season."
Chang Ning asked: "Then where do they live now?"
"In the wilderness," Zhao Hanzhang said: "We work in the fields every day and rest on the spot after meals. We are governed by soldiers sent out by the army. We are quite obedient."
Chang Ning pondered, "It's late autumn now. Although the weather has turned cooler, we can still survive. After a while, the cold current will move southward and the nights will be cold. It won't be possible to sleep in the wild anymore."
Zhao Hanzhang nodded in agreement, looked at him eagerly and asked, "Sir, do you have any suggestions?"
"No, Gao Jian," Chang Ning said, "Just like the girl, let them build a house and plow the land and sow seeds at the same time."
He directly rejected Zhao Hanzhang's decision to build a house with bricks and stones, saying: "Just build a thatched house and let them have a place to stay first."
"But the thatched house is not warm," Zhao Hanzhang still wanted to get it right in one step, "I have already asked people to build a brick kiln, and the first furnace of bricks has been fired."
"But the girl has taken in too many people. It takes about ten days to build a masonry house with the same labor, but it only takes two days to build a thatched house." Chang Ning said: "Girl, if you are willing to give up, it is urgent.
We need to settle people down first to calm the people's minds, and then we can start building brick and stone houses next year, or even later."
Fu Tinghan added: "It can be used as a reward in the future."
Zhao Hanzhang is a person who listens to advice. Although it consumes more manpower and time in general, building a thatched house is indeed a better idea.
She nodded.
Next is the highlight, identifying resettlement sites within Xiping County, and then dividing people into teams and placing them in each resettlement site.
This is a huge project, and the matter is still trivial. It cannot be done with just one order. Otherwise, Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan have been thinking of a solution for two days, why haven't they started yet?
Because if we are a team, we must have a team leader.
It is also necessary to prepare materials for each resettlement site, and arrange the people who prepare the materials, distribute the materials, and transport the materials one by one.
Even in order to ensure their loyalty to Xiping County, no, it should be said to ensure their loyalty to Zhao Hanzhang, we must pay attention to their ideological education work.
Not to mention the various problems during the placement process.
Don’t ask too many questions such as whether I want to be on the same team as him or not.
To put it bluntly, both Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan are afraid of trivial things.
When Chang Ning came, Zhao Hanzhang very generously revealed his background to him and pushed all these trivial matters to him.
She just held the general direction, ran around, found some problems, and then solved some problems.
Fu Tinghan also prefers to do calculations in the county government office instead of going downstairs and being surrounded by people to solve things for everyone.
After Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan finished counting the resettlement sites, they drew a few circles with a red pen and said: "Special attention should be paid to these resettlement sites, and the people sent there should be extra loyal. The others can be randomly distributed after mixing."
Chang Ning stared at the resettlement sites, "This is..."
"This is a defensive point," Zhao Hanzhang said without explaining too much, "If we master these points, there will no longer be incidents where rebel troops sneak in and are discovered only when they arrive."
We can also control their escape route. If Xiping County cannot bear it in the future, they will have a way to escape.
Chang Ning watched for a while and had to raise his doubts, "The girl has recruited so many people, but only left 1,200 troops?"
"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said: "These 1,200 people are elite soldiers. When the county town stabilizes, I will only leave 200 troops stationed in the city, and 1,000 people will move outside the city and build additional military camps for training."
In this way, she will always have a vacancy of 1,800 men, and she can recruit troops when she wants. Of course, it is up to her to decide whether the recruited people will appear on the military roll.
"Then these," Chang Ning asked, pointing to the settlement points, "what are they?"
Zhao Hanzhang looked at Chang Ning with a half-smile but said: "Good people, tenants, and long-term workers don't even exist. They serve the people when they are busy farming, and they serve as soldiers during war. They only do basic training in peacetime."
Although Chang Ning knew that the wealthy family had evil intentions, he did not expect that he could become so evil. He followed Magistrate Chai. Although Magistrate Chai also secretly bought some fields and took in a few houses to cultivate the fields, he did not dare to hide such a large number of people.
, not to mention that most of these people are young and strong and can be soldiers.
Zhao Hanzhang knew that Chang Ning was not Ji Yuan. He had not been exposed to these things before, so he softened his tone and said, "Mr. Chang, you don't have to distinguish them deliberately. To you, they are the people of Xiping County. You only need to bear some of their mundane duties."
That's fine, as for the rest, Zhao Ju will be responsible for it."
Production is Mr. Chang's responsibility, but military training is Zhao Ju's.
Chang Ning heard it, and he was still a little puzzled, "Now the girl is the magistrate of Xiping County. Although she does not have the documents from the court, she has passed the path of being a governor. They are all your subjects, why do you want to specially treat them?"
How about hiding yourself?"
Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "Because the taxes are too heavy."
A county magistrate laments heavy taxes, what else can Chang Ning say?
After a moment of silence, he acquiesced to the matter.
Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Zhao Hanzhang immediately smiled and said: "Then let's start allocating people to build houses in the resettlement sites tomorrow."
Chang Ning agreed.
But the house cannot be built immediately, because there are too many houses to be built at once, and there are not enough trees. The only way is to cut down the trees, but the cut wood has to be dried.
