I Built a Territory in Ancient Times - Chapter 167

But the top specially sent someone down to instruct how to plant.

At first, some people were unwilling, and this thing could not be eaten as food, so what to plant? However, King Duan has instructed that farmers who grow watermelons can get tax reductions and exemptions, as well as a season’s grain compensation.

Now every family in Bai Village is planting watermelons under the guidance of officials. This is not as cumbersome as other crops, and the work in the fields is much easier. Now the elder brother of the Chen family has grown into a half-sized boy, and can help the family share the work in the field. Father-in-law Chen is also strong, and he has been working in the fields for a lifetime, and he is also a good hand.

Chen Fugui originally wanted to go to the workshop when he was free, but news came not long ago that King Duan ordered to recruit soldiers into the army in Liangzhou, and the requirements and terms of treatment were clearly written.

Ordinary people really don’t think about being a soldier in the past. Only military households in Dayan are qualified to be soldiers. This is a well-known thing. Duan Wang’s order is really strange. Why did he recruit soldiers privately? If the court found out, it would be the death penalty of beheading.

However, just when everyone thought Duan Wang had any ambitions. The court’s order came down. In order to expand the source of troops, Liangzhou was allowed to recruit civilians as soldiers, expand the army into an army, and protect the country for the people.

This time, Liangzhou is almost boiling. The people of Liangzhou are deeply affected by the robbers, and they want to eat their flesh, but their identity does not allow revenge. Now that the summoning order is issued, many young people from the frontier have the lofty ambition to join the army, protect the country, defend the family, and kill all the barbarians.

Not to mention that the conditions for enlisting in the army are really good, not only the silver taels to settle down, but also the monthly salary. And as long as he successfully enlists in the army, his family’s agricultural tax can be completely reduced or exempted.

Just rushing to the last point, many young people can’t wait to get ready.

Chen Fugui’s family lives not far from the training base of the guard camp. He is very aware of the skills of the guard camp soldiers. They have wiped out the bandits and bandits, and even the invading barbarians have been defeated. Speaking of which, who doesn’t give a thumbs up?

Chen Fugui admired them and envied them very much. He had the opportunity this time to become someone like the Guards, and of course he didn’t want to let it go. After discussing with his family, he decided that he would go to the recruitment site in the south of the city to apply for the application today, and that’s why the previous scene happened.

He Guiying had already returned, thinking about packing some useful things for Chen Fugui, who knew that Chen Fugui held her hand and said, “Don’t be too busy, I already understand, you don’t need to bring anything. If it is true If you apply for the draft, the army will distribute all the things, food and clothing, so you don’t have to worry about everything.”

He Guiying didn’t know what to do for a while after hearing what he said. Separation is imminent, especially when one’s own man joins the army, and when he joins the army, he will inevitably fight. The sword has no eyes. If there is an emergency…

She didn’t dare to think deeply, sniffed and said, “Be careful when you are out.”

Knowing what she was thinking, Chen Fugui touched her head with a smile and said, “Don’t worry! This is a happy thing. If you can apply for it, you will not only get a lot of money back, but also learn a lot of skills. In the future, you will fight to kill the enemy. , to kill the barbarians and solve the serious troubles for our Liangzhou confidants, that is also a great deed to protect the family and the country and win glory for the country. When our children grow up, we must let them know that their father is a hero. “

He Guiying smiled reluctantly, “Listen to you, I must come back safely in a few years.”

Chen Fugui nodded, “Well! I know, I can become a capable person like the **** army in the future. You can also see that the guard army trains every day, and everyone is first-class.”

He Guiying was amused, and nodded his finger on his forehead, “It’s just you, I don’t know if you can apply for it. I just thought of being the same as other people’s guards, so I’m not ashamed.”

Chen Fugui smiled and scratched his head, “I will definitely be able to enlist, but I meet the conditions for enlistment.”

“Okay, okay. Mom has already made breakfast. Come out to eat quickly, or I’m afraid it will be late when you arrive.”

“You will have to work hard at home in the future. There are old and young, and the eldest brother is not yet an adult. You not only have to work outside to earn money, but also take care of the old and young at home. I’m sorry for you.”

“Why does the family still talk about the two? This is my duty, don’t worry, I will take good care of the family. Life is much better now than before, and it is also our blessing to be able to be so stable all the time. Woolen cloth.”

“Yeah!” Chen Fugui sighed, “But I believe that with Duan Wang in Liangzhou, the lives of the people will only get better and better.”

All these changes were brought about by King Duan. Since King Duan came to Liangzhou, every decree issued by King Duan has not really benefited the people?

In just a few years, the bandits in Liangzhou have completely disappeared, and how many people are being fed by the workshops that are rising now, these are all tangible changes that can be seen.

Their ancestors lived in this place for generations, and the war and barrenness made Liangzhou barren and lifeless. These changes have given Liangzhou a breath of life and new buds, which will surely prosper in the future.

135 Chapter 135

Ming Yu’s caravan was mighty and mighty. After leaving the city, merchants and caravans joined in one after another. The Ma family’s caravan gathered more than a dozen carts of goods and followed behind, making the lineup more and more powerful.

These more than a dozen carts of goods are basically the scarce goods in Liangzhou that Ming Yu said, such as food, cloth and other living materials. In Duanwang’s words, when these things are shipped, there will be people rushing for them. In this case, anyway, we have to take a trip, it is better to be able to do business and make money along the way.

All the way to the west, after the prosperous towns and cities, as soon as you enter Liangzhou, it is barren and vast, with yellow sand filling the sky, and even the sky turns yellow.

Some people feel uneasy in their hearts, not knowing whether this trip is right or wrong, it seems that it is too different from what Duan Wang said? Although there were no bandits, the people along the way were pale and skinny, not as good as the refugees in the south who had just suffered a natural disaster.

King Duan told them to bring in goods for sale, but these people really have the money to buy them? If the goods are pulled over and cannot be sold, they will cry without tears.

These people gathered together and whispered in private, with all kinds of worries, “Now that they have come, what else can I do, let’s take a look and then talk about it.”

“That’s what I said, and I’m fortunate to have a look first. Otherwise, I really listened to one side’s words. Like the Ma family, the goods of more than a dozen carriages in the caravan cannot be sold by then, and they have to be shipped back, hehe!” The unfinished meaning was obvious, and many people began to see the jokes of the Ma family.

“The Ma family is rich and powerful, what are you afraid of with this loss? In order to hold King Duan’s face, tsk tsk!” Some people think that the Ma family’s move is to please King Duan, and they are not afraid of losing his wife and losing their troops.

“I’m afraid their Ma family’s abacus is wrong? Duan Wang is a fool worth their praise?”

“Who knows what the Ma family thinks? It’s really puzzling!”

“Hey! It doesn’t bother us what people think. Shh! Someone’s coming.”

The crowd dispersed, and Tan Shan frowned upon hearing these words. Looking at Duanwang’s team in front, I also regret it, hey! If he didn’t take this trip, now that he has returned home, surrounded by his wife and children, it is no better than watching the yellow sand in the sky now.

“Brother Cheng, depending on the situation, Liangzhou is like this. It’s really not worth the trip.” Tan Shan handed the water bag to Cheng Guangsheng, who was beside him.

Cheng Guangsheng was cleaning his luggage, he was stunned when he heard the words, glanced at Tan Shan, took the water bag and took a sip, then wiped his mouth and smiled. “

Tan Shan was a little anxious, “What? Brother Cheng still has hope for Liangzhou?”

Cheng Guangsheng shook his head, “I don’t know the whole picture, so I don’t want to comment. I’ve just entered Liangzhou, why do I have to go to Liangcheng? Let’s see the situation in Liangcheng.”

Tan Shan sat on the ground, a little discouraged, “Alas! Looking at it now, Liangcheng may not be much better.”

Cheng Guangsheng looked up at the convoy in front of him, lowered his head and continued his actions. Although he was a little unsure, he still chose to trust Duan Wang. The Ma family is not stupid. They have been doing business for so many years, and they have never seen anything before. How could they have earned such a large family business without the slightest vision?

I didn’t understand it clearly before, but now that the Xiqi Corridor mentioned by Duan Wang came out, the Ma family had foresight and made preparations early. Befriending Duan Wang, and relying on his own strength, he won the first lottery at Duan Wang’s bidding meeting and won Duan Wang’s trust. I have to say that this is a very good move. The owner of the family is worthy of being the owner of the Ma family. It can be imagined that the Ma family will definitely benefit from the Xiqi Corridor in the future.

Thinking of the embarrassing things that the Zhu family made at the bidding meeting, Cheng Guangsheng felt contemptuous. In the past, the Zhu family and the Ma family could keep pace with each other, and even faintly surpassed each other. But in the future, let’s see in two or three years, it is not impossible for the Ma family to dominate.

He sees farther than the average person and thinks deeply. Therefore, Cheng Guangsheng just smiled and didn’t take it to heart at the heated discussion of other people’s whispers.

Seeing that he didn’t respond, Tan Shan shook his head and walked away with a sigh. Everyone has their own ideas, and no one can force it. He intends to ask if they can go back together, and if possible, they will have a company together.

Ming Yu sat in the carriage with one hand holding his chin, and the other hand gestured on the chessboard. He wanted to play a chess piece, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. He withdrew his hand and continued to think.

It was boring along the way, so he began to think about playing chess, but he couldn’t find an opponent, so he could only play with himself.

The Ma family and their son did not dare to play chess with him, but Xie Yixiu did not dare to play chess with him.
