Chapter 278 Development
After disrupting the soldiers, he was led by three hundred personal guards, leaving Du He behind to guard the city. Situ Changfeng quickly let the remaining people take over the city defense.

At noon, Situ Changfeng returned to the Governor's Mansion and summoned all the officials.

"See the governor!"

There were a lot of people here this time, dozens of officials, big and small, but many of them had flickering eyes, obviously feeling uneasy.

"I don't care what you have done in the past, but from now on, officials from the two states must not take bribes and bend the law, and must do their best to complete the tasks assigned by me.

If you think you are incompetent, or don't want to do things here, you can leave, and you will not be held accountable for the past. "Situ Changfeng said calmly.

Of course, Situ Changfeng knew that these people would not choose right away, and he didn't force them, so he began to assign tasks.

"In all counties, count the household registration and land of their subordinates, and inform all the people that in the two prefectures, all the people will be relocated and the land will be redistributed.

People in the two prefectures are exempt from tax this year, and the poor people must provide food and materials. "Situ Changfeng took out the notice he had written and asked his personal guard to pass it on.

"Subordinates obey!"

"Count the mines in each county, and then I will make unified arrangements to recruit people from the two prefectures to work. Three meals a day and three catties of rice will not be deducted from anyone." Situ Changfeng continued to say seriously.

"In addition, I was appointed by His Majesty to recruit elite soldiers, and the notice will be issued together!"

"I understand!" The people below continued to loudly accept the order.

"Okay! Go on and get busy, everyone must not slack off!"

After Situ Changfeng gave an order, he immediately started to get busy, and he himself led people to check the information and investigate the environment.

As for the officials from the two states, he didn't take it to heart. Firstly, most of them were from Jiangnan aristocratic families and had interests, so they would not deliberately hold back. On the other hand, even if they were not of the same mind, they could not act randomly if they wanted to. After all, the military power was in his hands. superior.

In the past few days, various orders from the Governor's Mansion have been continuously publicized to the people, which has aroused huge repercussions among the poor people.

At the same time, the people arranged by Situ Changfeng also found a group of landlord bullies who happened to kill chickens to make an example to monkeys. According to the crime, they ransacked their homes and sentenced them to prison.

The people who were numb in their lives and had little hope were now aroused with passion, and began to move and work according to the government's order.Anyway, life couldn't be worse. The most important thing is that the government has three meals a day, which can be seen.

There are a total of more than 20 households and nearly [-] people registered in the four counties of Yuezhou. Situ Changfeng plans to completely resettle them, and the four subordinate counties will be used in front of the four towns.

A county town of 20 people is considered small, but it is understandable when you think about the place located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, where there are floods every year, and it is either mountainous or muddy.

And the only place with a lot of natural production - Dongting Lake, there are many water bandits, which further restricts the people nearby.

In view of these reasons, Situ Changfeng could only concentrate the population. After all, his goal was to develop the two states, so he naturally needed to find a sustainable development path.

Li Shimin actually didn't like Li Shimin's arrangement for him to develop the two states, and it was more sympathetic to fight.However, thinking that it would be very good to accompany the two beautiful wives safely and steadily, he did not refuse, not to mention there were water bandits waiting to be wiped out.

Gathering the people was only the first step. Half a month later, the food and supplies that Situ Changfeng needed were delivered one after another.

The arrival of a large amount of food stabilized the hearts of the relocated people, and when the supplies arrived, a batch of ordnance replaced the equipment of the soldiers.

In the past half a month, the original soldiers in Yuezhou had been reduced to [-], while [-] elite soldiers were newly recruited, and the other [-] eliminated soldiers were distributed to various places to maintain law and order.

After carefully inspecting Yuezhou, Situ Changfeng believed that if he wanted to develop rapidly, he could only rely on mountains to eat mountains and water to eat water.Relying on Dongting Lake, of course we have to make good use of it.

After field research, Situ Changfeng decided to implement intercropping. Although there are many bandits in the lake, there are still many fishermen.

They gathered together to make fishing nets and boats, and other people opened up another channel. The newly opened channel is to divert the water from Dongting Lake. It can not only irrigate the farmland, share the flood, and most importantly, raise fish. Raising ducks is naturally the first choice.

Divide a small water stream from the river, dig out ponds every other, and the best breeding farms are all around.

Use the fertile silt that was washed down from the top to plant lotus roots, and an interplanting base will come out.

With the weather not getting cold in the past two months, more than 20 soldiers and civilians in Yuezhou have opened up [-] mu of breeding base along Dongting Lake, and there are also [-] mu of farmland.

The weather is getting colder, and the woolen clothes brought from the north are distributed to the people, which makes the people full of expectations for life, and they also support the orders of the Dudu Mansion. I used to be so confused and numb.

The cold winter is approaching, so we can only continue to dig dry fields and ponds, and wait for the drainage after the spring.

The young and strong began to catch fish, and after catching them, they were all sorted into different fish ponds, while the rest of the women and children opened up barren hills and dug up all the grass on the hills.

Not only can it be used for burning wood, but it can also clear the land. As for the purpose of clearing it, our Lord Governor naturally has his own ideas.

Because of the concentration of the people, most of the people now live in various gathering points. Relatively speaking, the defense is much simpler, after all, they are not too far from the city.

All the houses in the newly-built settlements are currently cut down and temporarily built, while the new houses are built from green bricks that are being fired. However, the brick kiln has just been built and the first batch is being fired. If you want to completely rebuild, you still need to time.

Li Shimin's strong support has indeed been achieved. There are 4 new immigrants, and nearly [-] people have arrived in Yuezhou. At the same time, there are more than a dozen children from aristocratic families, but most of them are side branches. Compared with Situ Changfeng, he doesn't care. After all, there is indeed a shortage of manpower, especially people who can read and write. Although the four Jiangdong families have provided some, it is far from enough.

But at last the urgent need was solved, at least it was barely enough to manage the people.

Yuezhou is busy, so Langzhou will naturally not be free. According to Situ Changfeng's plan, it is also going on, but the population of Langzhou is only 12, so the scale is not that big.

Ma Zhan was assigned to Langzhou, and in the name of the marching Sima of the Governor's Mansion, he and Liu Renyuan worked together to rectify, recruit, and train troops.

Situ Changfeng, who was originally the governor of the Wang family, was too lazy to bother, so he was directly transferred to Yuezhou, and at the same time promoted Di Zhixun to be the governor.

With the strong support of Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu, the development of the two states is very stable, but Situ Changfeng is still a little uneasy. The water bandits in the lake are always there, which is a trouble.
