Cultivation Starts From Planting Sweet Potatoes

Now the Lu State was divided into two, with Zhang He and the royal family occupying the north and south respectively, but there was no fight between the two sides.

Zhang He knew how much he weighed and didn't want to die.

As an important member of the royal family, Feng Zhen represents the royal family in everything he says and does. He must cherish his feathers and not ruin the reputation of the royal family. All he does is good deeds and good governance.

For example, when the Flying Cavalry Army successfully expelled demons and recovered the lost territories of Lu and Sui, Heishui County sent envoys to send congratulatory gifts.

After Feng Zhen accepted the gift, he gave back items worth several times the gift.

At the same time, the political orders issued by Feng Zhen were also full of concern for the people.

For example, in one of them, any refugee who moved to settle down under his jurisdiction would be given 5 acres of land as a gift, as well as some grain and seeds.

This decree spread to the surrounding areas. Under the huge profits, countless tenants abandoned the land they rented from the landlords, dragged their families and moved to the Lu State or the Sui State to make up for the serious shortage of the two countries after the ravages of demons. population.

Even many residents of Blackwater County could not resist the temptation and moved north one after another.

At this moment, Wei Peng was reporting the incident to Zhang He.

"Sir, in the past month, tenants have fled their places one after another and secretly moved to the north. Some even fled entire villages.

So far, 50,000 to 60,000 people have fled Blackwater County.

Do we need to strengthen defense forces at the border? "

Zhang He had heard about this matter for a long time, but he didn't expect that so many people had escaped in just over a month.

"Forget it, if you really don't want to stay, just let them go."

Zhang He shook his head helplessly. There was no way. After the continuous war in Heishui County, there might not even be enough food for the winter this year.

Rather than staying here to starve, or even starve to death, it is better for them to go out and find a way to survive on their own.

"Sir, we also have a lot of wasteland now. Do you want to allocate some of it to the tenant farmers?"

Wei Peng knew that although the land in Heishui County belonged to Zhang He, all the farmers were tenant farmers who helped Zhang He farm the land.

In fact, all the land belongs to Zhang He in name, but charging only 30% of the land rent is the same as dividing the land. It is better to divide the land to win people's hearts.

"Don't worry, time will tell."

Zhang He had never had such an idea about distributing land to tenants.

Even though Heishui County now has fewer people and more land, and there are still large areas of land that cannot be cultivated and have to be abandoned, he is not willing to give them to the tenants.

This is not because he is selfish and insists on possessing land.

But if he does this, it will only take two or three generations for the land to be concentrated in the hands of a few people.

Then after dozens or hundreds of years, the land will be concentrated in the hands of a few people, and the remaining people will all become tenants, becoming like other places in the Zhou Dynasty.

In this world of extraordinary power, ordinary people will end up with nothing.

Since Zhang He traveled through time, he has seen many people cannibalize each other, and ordinary people live worse than pigs and dogs. He cannot save everyone in the world, but at least the power he established should not be so rotten.

To avoid this situation, only by establishing a reasonable system can we truly ensure the survival of the bottom population.

Of course, there will definitely be a large number of powerful people in his power. There is no way around this. In a world with extraordinary power, it is impossible for everyone to be equal.

Whoever has the power will enjoy more resources and a better life.

What Zhang He could do was to leave a path to heaven for all ordinary people, instead of the descendants of tenant farmers having to remain tenant farmers forever.

At present, this channel is still very wide. Ordinary people can enter the school. Those with excellent grades will be hired as civil servants or join the army, which are very good promotion channels.

Of course he would only select a handful of the best.

“In addition, give the spiritual minerals produced from various mineral veins, as well as the demonic materials obtained from previous wars, to the caravans to sell them as soon as possible, even if the value is lower.

The spiritual stones obtained will be used first to purchase food from various places. "

The caravan was formed again after the war, but many of the caravan's elders had died on the battlefield.

In the past, caravans could complete many transactions within the territory of Lu State, but now there are few living people in Lu State.

The reorganized caravan can only transport supplies to other countries for trade.

Going back and forth like this takes a long time.

"The caravan is already buying, but the food takes up a lot of space and is difficult to transport. It will take some time."

"Okay! Then let's try our best to ensure the food supply first. As for the military salary owed by the Blackwater Army, I will personally do the ideological work."

After Zhang He made arrangements for the food, he thought for a moment and then said, "Has the record of personal meritorious service in this war been compiled?"

"I was planning to report to you. Ma Gan and I will conduct statistics on this matter together, and the results have been obtained."

As Wei Peng spoke, he took out a jade slip and handed it over to Zhang and He.

Zhang He took the jade slip, which contained detailed records of each person's meritorious service, and evaluated and scored the merits.

Wei Peng calls the points gained by each person's meritorious service as merit points.

It is much more convenient to have such a simple and clear evaluation of merit points and then award awards based on merit.

After fighting continuously for the past few years, almost as long as he can survive on the battlefield, he has made great achievements.

Whether they are dead or alive, they have all shed their blood and fought their lives for Blackwater County. They should not be treated poorly and should be heavily rewarded!

But now Heishui County is so poor that they can't even afford food, so they really can't get any decent prizes.

"I still have a few bottles of elixirs here. You can take them and distribute them first to those who have made the most merit. The remaining prizes will be distributed later after you have calmed down!"

Zhang He took out several bottles of elixirs from his storage bag. There were more than ten gold-condensing elixirs in them. They were originally prepared for himself. Unexpectedly, he didn't need the elixirs and successfully formed them directly.

Among his men, there are more than a dozen people who have practiced to the late stage of foundation building, to the point where they can hit the golden elixir realm.

Now if these golden elixirs are given out as prizes, maybe a few more golden elixir-level subordinates can be added.

"Okay, I'll leave these things to you to deal with. I'm going to be away for a while."

Next, Zhang He explained everything around him and left Heishui County alone.

This time the space consumption is too large. If you want to restore to the previous state, you will need a lot of spiritual stones. Currently, Blackwater County cannot produce so many spiritual stones.

Although there is now a spirit stone vein in Heishui County, it is only a very small vein. The yield of spirit stones is very low, and not much can be dug out in a short time.

Moreover, the spirit stone veins can continuously breed new spirit stones, so you cannot mine them too much, otherwise they will all be destroyed.

Now he can only go to other countries to find ways to raise spiritual stones.
