Chapter 15 Inspection

Because the ministries are now stationed in various places, it will take some time for Xiao Tianjian to convene the discussion. Especially this time, he will recruit Wang Chengping and Li Lingfeng to come back to discuss future actions, so this discussion was scheduled for the tenth day of August.

In this way, it also gave the generals time to prepare, and Xiao Tianjian used this free time to go out of the village again and toured all over the country.

Walking in the territory of the Xingtian Army, there is a lush scene everywhere. The grain fields that were not spoiled last winter have now been harvested and planted a season of buckwheat early.

Although the buckwheat production is low, it grows rapidly, so that the farmland can be used more fully. Moreover, after the summer harvest in some places, a lot of soybeans have been planted. Even if it is too late to grow soybeans or buckwheat plots, after the summer harvest, alfalfa is also planted.

In this way, the utilization rate of grain fields in various places has reached an unprecedented level, and because of the encouragement of Xing Tianjun, people in many places have reclaimed a large number of new fields and planted crops near the village this year.

Touching the various crops in Tanaka, Xiao Tianjian's mood has become much more cheerful. He has been here for nearly three years. From the confusion at the beginning to the clear goal now, he knows more and more about what he wants.

As a member of this era, he has found a foothold in such a big era, but he is not satisfied with the current situation. There are still too many places for him to conquer, but during this period, he has fallen into a misunderstanding.

For a long time, he did things based on his understanding of the fragments of this era and the trend of history, but he forgot that when he came here, many historical developments had shifted from the history he originally knew.

Nowadays, he is no longer an unknown little man. Under his command, he has formed an army that has far exceeded the army of this era, both in terms of equipment and tactics. Although the number is not large, it can already influence the situation of one side.

Although according to the current request, his strength is not enough to overthrow the whole Ming Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that he is not moving forward because of this.

Sometimes opportunities can't rely on waiting and God's gift, and more often they need him to fight for it, so after chatting with Tian Jianxiu, Xiao Tianjian began to find that his recent performance has been a little too cautious.

At present, he has a solid base that belongs to him. After several wars, although he dare not say that his base is as solid as a rock, at least with his strength, it is unlikely that the government will easily drive him out of this land.

So what should he do next? It can't be done alone. At present, there is an excellent opportunity in front of him, so this time he can no longer be as timid as before. If he succeeds this time, it will undoubtedly play a great role in the development of Xing Tianjun in the future. Even if he doesn't succeed, he still has a place to retreat without too much worry about becoming a bandits.

In this way, Xiao Tianjian's whole idea began to come to life.

Looking at the busy farmers in the field, Xiao Tianjian has a sense of satisfaction in his heart. All this was created by him. If it weren't for him, it would have been desolate this year, but it was because of the appearance of him and his Xing Tianjun that the people here changed their original notes. A determined fate.

In a large piece of sweet potato field, the seedlings are crawling all over the ground. At the beginning, in order to promote this kind of thing, many people were still quite resistant, thinking that they had never come into contact with this kind of thing, and they didn't know if they could feed people.

But when it comes to this harvest season, everyone's worries have turned into expectations. When Xiao Tianjian took a group of guards to a piece of land, he happened to see the owner of the land collecting sweet potatoes in the ground.

It happened that the old man Chen was also here, helping the farmer guide the harvest of sweet potatoes, so Xiao Tianjian dismount and walked over.

After everyone saw Xiao Tianjian, they immediately lost their work and quickly knelt down to welcome the arrival of Xiao Tianjian. Xiao Tianjian walked to the ground with great interest and hugged the people around him and said, "You don't have to be too polite. What should you do?" Don't delay what you have at hand. I'm just passing by and coming to have a look!"

Old man Chen took a piece of freshly harvested sweet potato with a smile and said to Xiao Tianjian, "General, please look, this is the sweet potato harvested from this land!" The little old man just saw it. Although the weather this year is a little dry at the beginning of the year, it is more suitable for the growth of this kind of sweet potato! This is just a small piece, and there are hundreds of catties. It is expected that after the sweet potatoes in this piece of land are collected, it will reach at least more than 2,000 catties! Ha ha!"

"Oh? How can the output be so high? Good thing! Ha ha!" After hearing this, Xiao Tianjian took the sweet potato from Mr. Chen's hand and squatted next to the canal on the ground. After a simple wash, he immediately pulled out a small dagger from the boot barrel. After peeling it like this, he took a big bite.

"Hmm! Not bad! Very sweet! Ha ha! It's delicious!" Xiao Tianjian chewed the sweet potato in his mouth and said to the people around him with a smile.

These people are all villagers in nearby villages. Although they have planted this kind of sweet potato, no one has tasted the sweet potato. After listening to Xiao Tianjian's words, they immediately became happy and went to the owner of the land to ask for a piece of sweet potato to taste.

Although the people are very stingy with their own grain, today I saw Xiao Tianjian personally come to his field to check the harvest of the crops, so he was generous and quickly took a few sweet potatoes and distributed them to his neighbors to taste.

After such a taste, the doubts in the hearts of the people were completely dispelled, and they all showed a look of surprise, praising this kind of food as delicious.

Xiao Tianjian threw the unfinished sweet potato to Tietou and let Tietou and others taste it. After clapping his hands and putting away the knife, he said to these ordinary people, "I also know that everyone has doubts about letting you grow this thing this year, but I, Xiao, will not let you grow useless things! Today, I saw that this kind of sweet potato has a good harvest this year, and I am relieved! Although this is not a good thing, everyone may not be used to it, but after all, the most important thing is to have a full stomach these days!

And this kind of sweet potato has a large yield, which can feed so many of us, so it is a good thing, and I'm afraid Mr. Chen also told you that even the sweet potato leaves and stems can be eaten when necessary, so don't dislike this thing. After next year, there will be a lot of It's okay to plant it!"

After listening to this, the common people suddenly heard a sound of cheering. Especially the people who received the seedlings this year nodded repeatedly, saying that there would be a large number of plantings in the future. Xiao Tianjian was so strong that he actually personally picked up the nail rake and dug out a pile of sweet potatoes in the ground, which even let the people see Xiao Tianjian's He is approachable and respects him much more.

After Laohan Chen looked at Xiao Tianjian put down the hoe, he smiled and took Xiao Tianjian around the nearby field. He pointed to the long corn field with a person's depth. He reached out to break down a corn that was about to mature and said to Xiao Tianjian, "General, please look, this corn should be collected soon. The little old man estimated After a calculation, if it is not too dry at the beginning of the year, the corn harvest will be quite good this year, but even so, after there are canals and daggers, each plots are still watered. This corn is just a little old man. There is no big problem in making a three-stone grain for an acre of land. Compared with medium-grain, it is also a high yield. ! In this way, after the autumn grain harvest in various places this year, we will no longer worry about eating!"

Xiao Tianjian nodded and said, "This is still your credit, Mr. Chen!" If you hadn't prepared so many sources last year, I'm afraid you wouldn't have had such a good harvest this year! The people don't know much about these new things now. It seems that you still can't rest next. You have to continue to help the people grow these grains!"

Mr. Chen smiled so much that he lost his glasses. He nodded repeatedly and bowed his waist to Xiao Tianjian and said, "General, don't worry! The child has lived such a whole life. He has never lived as well as in the past two years. As long as the child does not die for a day, this old bone will definitely not rest! You must take the people and plant the grain!"

After inspecting the agricultural affairs, Xiao Tianjian led the team to go straight to Yangcheng County, and his confidence was much more. The food problem has been so far. As long as all the autumn grain is collected, the problem of military grain shortage is basically completely solved, just to provide full protection for his next action. .

Although Yangcheng County was forced to be burned by a fire by Xing Tianjun at the end of last year because it wanted to add chaos to the officers and soldiers, and the city wall was also collapsed in many places. It is located on the bank of the Huze River. It is the most convenient place for transportation in Yangcheng. Xiao Tianjian will naturally not let it be abandoned like this.

So after the war, Xiao Tianjian still ordered the reconstruction of Yangcheng County, flattening all the broken walls in the city, and building a lot of workshops. After half a year of repair, the collapsed city walls were also restored. Although there was no time to wrap the city bricks, the basic defense system was still restored. Get up.

The restoration of Yangcheng County also provides a suitable place for the already nervous resettlement craftsmen. A large number of newly collected craftsmen have been placed in Yangcheng, so that the prosperity has been restored in a short time.

When Xiao Tianjian entered the city, Fu Deming immediately heard the news and rushed out to catch him. Considering the convenience of handling of civil affairs, now Xing Tianjun, led by Fu Deming, has set up a civil affairs department, which is located in Xinyang City County. At the same time, it has also become In the current economic center of Xing Tianjun, many businessmen have entered Yangcheng County and opened their shops after obtaining the license of Xing Tianjun.

After all, Yangcheng County has just been rebuilt, and all kinds of facilities are still very simple, but this does not affect the prosperity here. Many businessmen have a lot of products here, so they simply hired people, built houses, and opened their shops.
