The dock of Tongtian City was full of displaced people. They looked around curiously and warily. They could no longer live in their hometown, so they could only follow the advice of some people and come to the edge of the Tongtian River to wait for ships from the northwest.
Following the ships from the northwest, they can reach the northwest land, where there is a large amount of farmland waiting for them to plant.
They need to pay 10% of the rice grown in the first five years. After five years, the farmland will be cultivated by them forever. The land is considered owned by them and is not allowed to be bought or sold.
If you no longer want to plant it, you can hand it over to someone else for planting. When handing it over, someone from Xiliang headquarters needs to be present.
"Everyone, get off the boat with me. Xiliang government officials from various counties will be waiting for you. They will introduce their places to you. You can take a look. If you want to go to that place, go to that place!
If you don’t want to go, no one will dare to force you!”
A big man from Xiliang spoke to drown out other sounds on the dock, and then the boat docked on the dock. On the shore, a large number of people from the newly established county were waving papers in their hands.
"When you come to our county, we will give you free food for the first year. We will give you enough food for free..."
"Our county has a big river passing through it, with sufficient water supply..."
"us...."
These were people who had just come from the college, and they recruited farmers on behalf of their newly established county.
If a county wants to develop, it is indispensable for a large number of farmers. Every county has inexhaustible food, and there are still a lot of empty farmland in the county that no one is planting!
When recruiting farmers, it may not be just one person. Most of them bring their families and raise some silkworms. The men farm and the women spin.
This is a model promoted by Xiliang, because there is no agricultural tax. In addition to paying some grains in the first five years, farmers who have just arrived can get as much as they plant in the future!
There will be no shortage of markets for the fabrics woven from a large number of silkworms. What the Xiliang army lacks most is fabrics, which can be sold to the army.
As long as the family is willing to work hard, they will definitely be able to live a happy life in the northwest for five years.
Li Xiang happened to be patrolling Tongtian City and saw this scene on the dock. He saw groups of farmers joining a certain county town.
He felt that the next step could be to start, which was to make these people no longer say where they were from, but to become Xiliang people, Xiliang people living in the northwest!
This requires the monks to go to the monastery. The monastery can train ten monks every day, and now there are more than 5,000 monks in the northwest. Send these people to places.
Rely on these powerful affinities and your power of temptation to guide ordinary people bit by bit!
"Lord, this move of yours is really amazing!" Cheng Jushu followed Xiang Li with admiration in his eyes: "With so many civilians, it won't be long before we have a large number of children in Xiliang, and more than ten people will be needed.
In a few years, we will have new sources of troops!"
It is difficult to be a soldier in Xiliang. You need to have a little bit of Qi or superb martial arts, otherwise you will not be as good as cannon fodder on the battlefield, which excludes many people.
In order to have more troops, General Li obtained the inner skills in the market, sent them directly to each village, and taught others to practice every day.
Adults can also cultivate Qi, but it is difficult to reach the advanced level. Children have unlimited possibilities. They start to operate Qigong at the age of seven or eight. By the time they are sixteen or seventeen, even if they are just getting started, If you can't even reach the lower level, that's not bad.
As long as the net is cast wide enough, you can always catch a few big fish!
Li Xiang picked up the wine on the table and took a sip: "Where is Qingyun now?"
Cheng Jushu said: "Manager Zhang and Mr. Li Yi went to the Qingxi Grassland a few days ago. The Qing tribe's cavalry there became more and more aggressive and destroyed a lot of farmland, making it difficult for General Zhuo to speed up his military camp!"
"Let's go!" Zhang Qingyun put down the wine, stood up and left, followed by a group of people.
Zhang Qingyun returned to the northwest in October last year. Recruiting refugees from all over Daqian was a policy proposed by Zhang Qingyun and decided by Prime Minister Li.
Due to the war within Daqian, a large number of civilians were displaced. With the identity given by the Daqian royal family in the northwest, Xiliang Navy warships can move freely up and down the Tongtian River.
Spend some money and talk to local officials, and they can bring those who are about to flee to the northwest.
From November last year to now this year, that is, April, the northwest
With an additional population of five million, plus the herders from the Qingxi grasslands, the population of the northwest exceeds 30 million.
The population of 30 million has not yet reached the number that the northwest can accommodate. In the Central Plains, land annexation is serious. However, in the northwest, most of the land could not grow food due to severe cold in the past.
But now the cold rice produced in Xiliang can be planted even in the colder areas outside the Pass, and the entire northwest has become land that can be planted.
I think that in the past few months, under the leadership of Prime Minister Li, an additional county was created in the northwest. Those who had just arrived were all sent to the newly established county. Now the county has not been established yet. It depends on the twelve Which county seat had the best development, he would establish that county seat as the county seat.
According to Zhang Qingyun and Li Yi's estimation, this newly built county can accommodate at least 12 million people. Compared with Jiuyuan County, it is somewhat insufficient, but it is still very good.
Xinjun and Jiuyuan County only occupy a quarter of the land in the northwest, and there is still a lot of land under cultivation. Even if Daqian sends 500 million people over, the northwest can still be sustained.
There is no more land in the pass, so go outside the pass, fight to the grasslands, and occupy all the land that can be occupied!
However, what Xiliang needs now is stability and good relations with most places in Daqian!
The people in Xiliang talked about the northwest affairs, but there was no splash in the Central Plains. Those with small assets were discussing the smooth holding of the first Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
With this banquet, the new king showed the world the power of the Daqian royal family. Three great masters were stationed in the imperial capital. The terrifying strength of the imperial imperial army made many people who were ready to move dare not move again.
After the geniuses sent by the major sects competed in the arena, a new force emerged in the world, Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng put the masters in the world on several rankings. As long as those on the rankings, they can get Bai Xiaosheng. Cultivation materials given by students.
Bai Xiaosheng is divided into three major lists. The first major list: Cultivation world. According to the current cultivation realm of the strong people in the Eastern world, it is divided into seven small lists: unqualified, mainstream, third-rate, second-rate, first-rate, top-level, and super. ...
The second largest list: generals, generals, grassland, monsters, overseas, and alien generals are all ranked on the top. If based on their performance, a five-marshal list, ten generals, and twenty war generals list are arranged.
The third largest list: civil servants and counselors.
Because these top officials on the list are involved in group discussions, the ones they pay most attention to are the strong ones in the cultivation world. Now the first placers in the Mid-Autumn Competition are all ranked first on the list!
Xiliang, which is located in the northwest, has not entered Bai Xiaosheng's eyes. In their view, it is almost a small force outside the customs and has nothing worthy of attention.
Li Xiang also enjoyed his leisure time. If Bai Xiaosheng really had his name on him, it would be a big deal!
I don’t know what those people on the list think. Don’t you know that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong?
If you are not careful, someone will be killed!
Li Xiang looked at his warehouse for the supplies given on the list, and he could also create two such Baixiaosheng lists.
When Bai Xiaosheng's profession became famous, a large number of Xiliang agents also followed him to various places and began to contact various intelligence organizations.
There are many intelligence organizations in Daqian, and most of them are extremely powerful. For example, there are several intelligence organizations controlled by the royal family of Daqian. They are very powerful both openly and secretly.
If several princes hadn't poached most of the centaurs from this huge organization, they could still dominate the world and all the major forces!
Xiliang's intelligence organization is like a small shrimp compared to them, but they are in the open, while Xiliang Xizuo is in the dark. They will not take the initiative to explore anything, nor will they deliberately understand anything.
Just like an ordinary person, he is very interested in gossip and tells some half-truths and half-false things.
Li Xiang rode back to Jiuyuan City. Yuchiyun and Qingsong were studying the soul all day long. Unless there was anything important, they would basically not go out.
The Jimo Sect disciples entered the military camp. This huge courtyard was connected to the Qingyuan, and the two merged into one.
The immortal cultivators who came to the northwest felt a little uncomfortable at first, but they became much better after borrowing it, and even fell in love with the world in the northwest!
There are special formations for building houses here, which are extremely mysterious. There are also people who call themselves monks. They have a lot in common with the moral principles of cultivating immortals.
There are also people who like forging. After getting familiar with the Xiliang blacksmith, they can create the first weapons with the blacksmith.
Airships and fast-moving psychic cannons. Li Xiang directly gave them a large amount of yuan stones as research funds, and they could build them as they pleased.
Under the influence of the northwest, these immortal cultivators gradually integrated into this place.
When Li Xiang returned home, he immediately went to see his precious daughter and son.
Both children were very young, and the two children next to Li Xiang were even smaller. The crying children started laughing when they saw Li Xiang.
Wu Yating and Qian Duoduo were relieved to see Li Xiang back. The two little guys became extremely noisy as soon as Li Xiang left. They would only become quiet when Li Xiang was around.
Li Xiang held the two children carefully. Even though he had very good control over his strength, he still had to be careful for fear of hurting the two children.
"King, a lot of women were sent to the military city a few days ago, and Manager Li Yi arranged for them to stay in the palace!" Wu Yating said, "Thirty-six of them in total!"
"Let them stay wherever they are!" Li Xiang didn't want to hear a lot of voices in his ears every day. His demand for women was not great, and Wu Yating and Qian Duoduo were enough.
When Wu Yating heard what Li Xiang said, her eyes shone with joy, but she said: "Will this cause dissatisfaction among those in the military city? There are many strong men and generals among them!"
Li Xiang raised his head and glanced at Wu Yating. Wu Yating immediately lowered her head: "If they are dissatisfied, let them be dissatisfied!"
Li Xiang wanted to say a few more words, but he felt the water on his hand, which was still a little warm. He looked at his son, who smiled at him. The other hand was also wet, and his daughter smiled even more happily!
"They peed!" Li said to the maid: "Bring the diapers quickly!"
....
Qingxi grassland
Zhang Qingyun led Xia Li and Li Yicheng on horseback back to the fortress. Outside the city were trees planted, cultivated farmland, and horses running unbridled on the grassland.
"If we want to limit the attacks of the grassland people, we can only use crossbowmen as the main force!" Gao Yuan was in front of the sand table of the city lord's palace. There was a huge sand table in front of him. The entire Qingxi grassland was in the sand table. Their fortress was just a point on the huge sand table.
"Use heavy infantry as shields, crossbowmen as spears, light cavalry as arrows, and heavy cavalry as butcher's knives!" Gao Yuan has seen Xiliang cavalry, Xiliang heavy cavalry, and rain of arrows.
If he were asked to lead the Great Wall Army to fight against the grassland people, he wouldn't have much confidence, but if he were to lead the Xiliang army, he would be very confident.
Xiliang's heavy infantry can stop even ferocious beasts, but why can't the prairie cavalry stop them?
The company's crossbowmen are extremely terrifying troops. They can kill the enemy from four hundred meters away. Ordinary crossbowmen can kill the enemy from two hundred meters away.
The grassland cavalry can be used as a unit to cut off the retreat. The travel tactics of the Xiliang light cavalry can lead the enemy by the nose. The Xiliang heavy cavalry is a butcher's knife that can slaughter the grassland cavalry.
This is their tactic to deal with the grassland people. It is impossible for the two sides to break out into a huge battlefield like that between the grassland people and Marshal Li Zhen. It is a confrontation between millions of troops. Once the war starts, the number of troops invested by both sides may reach tens of millions.
No matter which side wins or loses, their vitality will be severely damaged. There are too many elites on both sides, and where are the masters?
Even if it is a victory, it can only be a tragic victory. Neither side can determine the outcome of the battlefield. We can only watch the fighting between the troops!
But they can't do it here. At most, tens of thousands of people will fight, and even more troops will fight. It depends on whether the Qing tribe can send them out. They are not afraid!
Boom, boom, boom!
Zhang Qingyun and Li Yi walked into the hall, and Gao Yuan and Zhuo Bufan stood up to greet them. Zhang Qingyun and Li Yi are currently the two people with the highest status in Xiliang. One is in charge of the Xiliang headquarters and is called the general manager, and the other
One person manages tens of millions of people, the General Manager of Xiliang.
"I heard that the Qing Department has already assembled troops and is preparing to go out?" Li Yi and Zhang Qingyun don't know much about military matters, but she knows one thing. In a war, it's not just soldiers who fight, but also logistics and equipment!
"If you need anything from our troops, just tell me!"
Zhang Qingyun also said: "You can say how much supplies you need. There is no war in the northwest now, and there are so many supplies that there is no place to store them!"
