Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

After hearing this, Xiao Zirong asked, "What's the matter?"

There is often food in the mountains. Some refugees really can’t survive and will go to the mountains to find food. Among them, mushrooms are the most. After all, it has just rained recently, so it can be said that there are mushrooms everywhere in the forest. .

Therefore, there are many refugees who can’t tell the difference between poisonous mushrooms and ordinary mushrooms. After eating them, they are poisoned and fall to the ground. If the toxicity is not particularly strong, they can still live. .

These days, human lives are worthless, even Xiao Zirong couldn't bear it at first, but now he can't care much.

He wanted to save people, but he couldn't ignore the people in the city.

Lu Liu said: "Many of these people were knocked out, and they were knocked out voluntarily. It is said that someone told them that someone would take them in after they were knocked out."

Xiao Zirong sighed slightly after hearing this: "Hey, we have been discovered."

Both Lu Liu and Liu Cainiang were a little nervous: "What? Was someone discovered?"

Xiao Zirong nodded: "Don't panic, I've thought of this a long time ago, if we bring the refugees here, they will find out sooner or later if they are careful, but I didn't expect..."

Liu Cainiang asked, "Didn't expect anything?"

Xiao Zirong sighed deeply: "I didn't expect them to use our place directly as a relief point."

No wonder Xiao Xuexing hasn't been so strict with him recently, the co-author wanted him to accept more refugees to ease the pressure on the state government, so it seems that it is indeed not suitable to fight him to the death.

It's just that I don't know what will happen after this wave of disasters is over.

Xiao Zirong looked up at Lu Liu and said, "I'll ask Wei Yun to calculate the maximum carrying capacity here. If there are enough people, they don't need to throw people into the mountains."

Even knowing that the more people he accepts, the more likely problems will occur, he still can't help but do this, but he will definitely check the other party's situation during the process.

For example, the kind of person who looks like a Lianjiazi at first glance is definitely not wanted, nor is it too big, nor is it educated.

There is indeed a shortage of literate people here, but the ones he took the initiative to find are still different from those sent by others. He wants to prevent the other party from sending agents over to expose their positions.

Of course, this may not be preventable, but when they come here, those people will be under strict surveillance at the beginning. There are guards guarding the door of the public rental house at twelve hours a day, even when they are sleeping. As for pigeons and the like Well, there are no breeds in the city, and it is not easy for the other party to pass the news.

Xiao Zirong asked the people below to be cautious about accepting people, and to separate this part of people from those they brought back before. After strict guarding, only those who are sure that there is no problem can be released.

Anyway, they all need to be quarantined. During the quarantine process, they should be questioned clearly, and then they should be carefully observed.

Speaking of which, this is also a good opportunity to exercise, to exercise the discrimination ability of those little ladies.

Xiao Xuexing realized something was wrong when he discovered that there were a hundred or so fewer refugees. He directly found Ling Fu and asked, "What are you doing behind my back?"

Ling Fu didn't even think about hiding it. After hearing this, he scratched his head and said, "I just want to help you solve your problems."

After hearing what he had done, Xiao Xuexing said thoughtfully: "That means the other party has taken in a hundred or so people? No, don't send them over."

After hearing this, Ling Fu said: "The other party confiscated the people who sent them over in the past two days. Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Xiao Xuexing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You and I know what's going on in the mountains. Is there any place that can accommodate so many people?"

Ling Fu hesitated to speak, Xiao Xuexing said calmly: "I know what place you want to talk about, but even if there can accommodate so many people, where will the cost of food and clothing come from?"

This is also the reason Ling Fu thought about it. The most difficult thing now is not to let these people have a place to live, but the most difficult thing is to eat. No matter how much food is eaten in the mountains, it will not be able to handle this.

He was a little puzzled and asked: "Then how did the other party accept so many people?"

Xiao Xuexing said firmly: "The transfer may be in the Northern Wei Dynasty, or in other places."

After hearing this, Ling Fu gasped, and immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "This subordinate knows his mistake."

If it is still in the territory of Qi State, it is okay to say that if it is transported to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is sending one's own population out, which is a serious crime.

Xiao Xuexing said: "Don't continue and don't make any noise. It doesn't matter if there are not many people. From this point of view, the other party is probably from the Northern Wei Dynasty."

Xiao Xuexing frowned. If they were from the Northern Wei Dynasty, they would have more purposes for taking Xiao Zirong away, and they might launch it at a critical moment to threaten Qi.

After all, Xiao Zirong was not only a vassal king of Qi, but also an emperor. It is not surprising that the other side turned black and white and insisted that Xiao Xuan was usurping the throne.

Xiao Xuexing had no choice but to divide his eyes and watch the movement of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Once the opponent's soldiers and horses were mobilized, he would have to re-arm.

For a while, Xiao Xuexing wished that it took 24 hours a day to finish these things.

Now that he knows that the other party is from the Northern Wei Dynasty, he no longer fights with the other party in the open as before, but instead investigates secretly. The fear is that the other party will withdraw and leave. Where will he go to find clues?

Ling Fu also said: "The other party is very sensitive, and his subordinates also planted a few spies, but in the end they were all picked out and never brought back."

Xiao Xuexing wasn't surprised that the other party would find out, but he was a little surprised when the other party found out that Xi Zuo didn't kill him, and instead returned him with all his beard and tail.

For a while, I couldn't understand this person's intentions, but he didn't completely regard the other party as an enemy. He was not that extreme. Hearing the word "Northern Wei" made him want to work hard with the other party. If possible, it is not impossible to cooperate.

He even hoped to cooperate with a high-ranking Northern Wei person, but unfortunately he couldn't get in touch.

Xiao Xuexing didn't expect that Xiao Zirong had come into contact with such a person before him.

Even though Yuan Jia was a member of the imperial family, he still got a lot of news, and would often communicate with Xiao Zirong to talk about the situation.

Flooding on their side, in fact, is not easy on the Northern Wei side, the flood of the Yellow River is more terrible than the Yangtze River, and the Northern Wei Dynasty is also busy with flood control and resettlement of refugees recently.

When it came to the flood season, everyone thought that this year's flood season would definitely be difficult, so they made preparations early, especially many grain merchants stocked up a lot of things like grain.

As a result, I never expected that during the flood season, the precipitation would drop a lot, from the possibility of floods to the level of droughts.

But this period of time is the most important farming time in the north, not only in the north, but also in the south.

The south is just a humid climate, with a little more precipitation than the north, but it is not immune to droughts. This year's drought is basically synchronized between the north and the south, so neither side has any intention of making trouble for each other. Worrying about this year's harvest.

Taoyuan City is a little better. Although the precipitation is less and the water level of the tributaries of the Yangtze River has dropped, it has not disappeared completely. In addition, Xiao Zirong has built an irrigation water system in advance, except for the newly reclaimed terraces. , and other places are not particularly short of water.

Even Xiao Zirong is still in the mood to raise fish.

Well, this fish farming is really fish farming. The reason is that when he inspected the rice fields, he found that the rice was growing well. He discussed the aroma of rice flowers with A Yin and A Man in the same company, and then he suddenly thought of Hehuayu, a kind of fish. It is raised in the rice fields, and will eat the rice flowers that fall into the water when the rice flowers bloom. Because the rice flowers themselves have aroma, the fish body will also be infected with the aroma, which makes the fish unique. smell.

Now everything in the city is on the right track. Although some people sent by Xiao Xuexing later led to more foreign population than their original population, but because the guard ladies are more fierce than each other, and Liu Cainiang and the others brought back many of them. Single girls, after hearing that they can establish a female household and keep the household, they naturally sided with Xiao Zirong and the others.

Calculated in this way, it is actually barely a [-]/[-] split. In addition, whether it is the people who were brought in at the beginning or those who were sent later, basically the whole family is left with only me, or the whole family is here, and there is no one left. No big family migrated in, so it can be said that they were all in bulk, which meant that as long as they were not bullied, they would not really form a group.

And how could Xiao Zirong give them a chance to get together?Different treatment was directly assigned, plus they can eat and wear warm here, and there are fields to plant, and they don't even have to worry about water problems. The more capable workers can earn more money.

Except that there is no way to buy a good house without household registration, and my children cannot receive free education, everything else is fine, and there is almost no big difference from civil registration.

As long as life can go on, the common people will not want to rebel.

Xiao Zirong saw that the city was gradually getting on the right track, and now he has nearly 400 people under his command. It has to be said that a large number of people is really powerful. The moat he was worried about before was dredged in a short time Yes, and with the recent drought, the water accumulated in the moat from the rain before has come in handy. Even if the water is not clear enough, it can still be used for watering the ground.

The next step is to build the bridge, and then the archery towers at the four corners of the city wall.

After everything was arranged, Xiao Zirong naturally thought about getting some delicious food. Not only did he have hemp fish, he even wanted to raise paddy field crabs. Unfortunately, the crabs in the mountains were not the same as the hairy crabs he knew. They are not the same as ordinary river crabs, those crabs are like sea crabs living in fresh water.

However, when catching fish that need to be raised in the rice fields, Xiao Zirong still asked people to put in the river crabs that got into it by mistake, which was better than nothing.

From summer to winter, Taoyuan City was still busy with various constructions this year. After the second season of rice was harvested and put into storage, Xiao Zirong also harvested a large amount of soybeans.

It can be used to extract oil and make some soy products.

By the way, he glanced at the calendar and calculated the time. He was a little surprised to find that the Huai-Han Battle recorded in history did not seem to have happened, but he was not surprised.

After all, there is one more him here and one more Xiao Xuexing. The two of them should not appear in history. Now that they exist, maybe this is a parallel time and space, and everything cannot be seen according to the historical records. .

Thinking about it, Qi State doesn't have such a big flaw now, and changing two emperors in a row doesn't seem to have much impact. Maybe the Northern Wei Dynasty didn't think it was a good time to do it and stopped fighting.

As a result, just as he was thinking this way, Yuan Jia sent a letter: Your Majesty wants to station troops along the Yangtze River, be careful!
