Xu Ziyuan is a fooling expert and an enthusiastic orator. He can always grasp a person's pain point, then grab his beard and slap him a few mouths, and every slap can slap into a person's heart.

Back then, he only brought a few guards and found Zhang Jia alone, and with a mouth, Zhang Jia turned to Li Ze. In the crucial battle between Li Ze and Zhang Zhongwu, he successfully persuaded Zhang Jia to take his only remaining family to support him.

Although it did not play any role in the end, Zhang Jia's actions won Li Ze's trust. It was from that time that Li Ze began to vigorously support Zhang Jia, step by step to get Zhang Jia to where he is today.

It can be said that Xu Ziyuan has made great contributions to Zhang Jia’s position today, and what Xu Ziyuan relies on is his tricks.

Today, Zhang Jia started his speech again.

Without long discussions, there is no loyalty to the emperor, patriotism and dedication to his country. Xu Ziyuan knew what these prisoners of war were most worried about now, so he only started from this point of view.

The short and hard speech told these prisoners that as long as they worked hard, they would be rewarded.

And here, he has living realistic examples to convince these new prisoners of war.

The earliest group of reclamation sites in Shuozhou were prisoners of war, and these people were also prisoners of war in Lulong's army. Now these people have become the people of Xinshuozhou, and they have naturally become the first group of people to become rich in Xinshuozhou.

Without being rich and noble, you will have no worries about food and clothing. There are houses, land, animals, wives, children, and warm kangs.

And this is enough for the people at the bottom.

The depressed prisoners of war finally became a little angry.

Now, as long as they can see a little hope, they are already very happy.

Xu Ziyuan, who finished his speech or lecture, was satisfied with the anger in these prisoners of war. He believed that it would not take long before these newly arrived prisoners of war would become another group of people in Xinshuozhou. These are all strong men!

The young Shuozhou will advance steadily with the addition of batches of such new forces, and will eventually soar into the sky and become a core area like Zhenzhou and Wuyi.

The leaders who had been waiting on one side, who were eyeing the greedy settlement points, began to lead people. At dozens of settlement points, each of which was assigned dozens of prisoners of war.

These prisoners of war will enter these settlement sites and work for the government for at least one year. Of course, during this year, they still have a meager salary, but because they are food, accommodation and clothing, there is no place for them to consume in the settlement sites, so these salary is considered to be fully paid.

Of course, a year later, when they have the opportunity to become free people, the salary they have accumulated this year will almost return to the government.

The land can be allocated to you for free, because Xinshuozhou is mostly land that is uncultivated, but livestock costs money, agricultural tools cost money, and building a house for you also requires money! These people must pay for them themselves.

Of course, this salary is far from enough.

And at this time, Wuwei Money House will come forward.

They will give these people a loan of extremely low interest, with absolutely conscience interest, which will make these people grateful.

But the loan also needs to be guaranteed. These people have nothing to do?

The supply and marketing cooperative came forward at this time.

They will sign a purchase contract with these people. The grains raised by these people, pigs, sheep, chickens and ducks raised by these people will be purchased by the supply and marketing cooperatives. The price will of course be a little lower than the market price, and there will definitely be no lower, just a little less. In return, they will provide guarantees for these people and let Wuwei Money House lend these people.

One by one, one by one, finally locked these people on this land and honestly farmed for the government until these people paid off all the loans.

When these people finally felt that they were debt-free and were finally happy to have their own houses, land, farm tools and livestock, they were completely assimilated.

When they start working on this land with peace of mind, the government will truly regard them as their own people. They will also begin to enjoy more discounts, and more ways to move upward will be opened to them.

For example, becoming a warrior.

For example, become an official.

For example, become an official at the settlement site.

In Zhang Jia's army, there are now many original Lu Long army prisoners of war. Those who were captured during the battle on the Yishui River were working, settled, assimilated and then walked into the army. Many of them became officers because of their abilities and military merits.

More than 2,000 prisoners of war left in a very short time. They were either anxious or full of hope, following the officials from the settlement site and heading towards their new life.

"Governor Xu, every time I listen to your speech, it makes people feel bloody!" It was not until this time that Zhang Jia smiled and said, "Looking at the appearance of these people, you have convinced me again. In our Shuozhou, we have added another group of new people, and there are still 3,000 people to come here next!"

"Everyone is precious." Xu Ziyuan smiled and said, "Li Xiang said that everyone is the source of taxation. Without anyone, there will be nothing."

"Li Xiang has always been far-sighted, and I can only admire him." Zhang Jia smiled and said, "The matter has been done, I have prepared food and drinks. Today we have a drink. We haven't seen you for many days. We haven't even seen you during the New Year. I came to you to pay New Year's greetings to you, but I was turned away."

"I've been running outside!" Xu Ziyuan said: "Five thousand prisoners of war need to be resettled. Once a person comes, no wealth has been created for us. So we have to eat, drink and wear. How many people can we get into each settlement? How many acres of land can we open in spring? How many new farm tools, livestock, and seeds are needed? If we don't consider it, if we don't arrange it well, it will affect the subsequent spring plowing and then affect the harvest! You General Zhang, tens of thousands of troops, and you have to eat, drink and pay, how dare I be negligent?"

"We Shuozhou now have this condition, and the central government will allocate it." Zhang Jia said. "Didn't you have saved a lot of money in the past two years?"

"These families are prepared to use for war and dare not use them lightly. When the war really starts, they dare not put all their hopes on the back support. We have them in our own hands, so we won't panic."

Zhang Jia bowed and said, "You are right. Zhang wants to thank you for your hard work in the past two years!"

"If you lose the battle, you, the general of the Right Martial Guard, will you be in trouble, and we, the governor of Shuozhou, can you get it?" Xu Ziyuan smiled and said, "If you are stationed in Shuozhou, then we are a grasshopper on the line."

Zhang Jia laughed: "Governor Xu, your teacher is Secretary Zhang. When you have nothing to do, you will ring the wooden bell more often, so that Secretary Xia from the Ministry of Revenue will relax a little while he is budgeting, and give us some more support, and we will be even more relaxed."

Xu Ziyuan looked unhappy: "I don't like to listen to these words anymore. General, if everyone else wins the battle when you go to the Wuyi Conference, you will be defeated, are you confident?"

"Of course I have no face."

"Yes, every time I go to the Wuyi Conference, Secretary Xia will announce the taxes paid by each state, and the governors of each state will explain the financial situation of the state one by one. Anyone who still needs the central government to support them will be covered in dust and can't raise their heads! Our Shuozhou has been specially funded by the central government for several consecutive years. Every time I have a hot face, do you know? Even Mozhou is self-sufficient this year. We are included in the court system earlier than Mozhou. What's the difference between you and you defeated me?"

"We're still a little special here."

"It's a bit special, but this is not a reason for us to reach out." Xu Ziyuan said: "I am a strong person. If others can do it, I can do it too. Look, in another year, we will be able to turn over completely. At that time, your Right Martial Guard will be fully equipped with a staff of 40,000 people. There is absolutely no problem. We will go to the Western Regions in the future."

Zhang Jia nodded repeatedly.

"So, I don't have time to drink. I quickly go back to the governor's office to handle the accumulated official duties, and then I have to go and run away. After the Chinese New Year, it's spring. The whole state has to move. I also made an appointment with officials from Wuwei Money House and the supply and marketing cooperative to discuss the subsequent loans and supply and supply issues of various materials. The hand is fast, but the hand is slow. Wuwei Money House is just such a big plate, and the supply and marketing cooperative only has so much spot stock. I don't know how many days it will take to delay!"

"It seems that I am not a qualified civil servant, so I can only lead troops to fight." Zhang Jia sighed.

"Everyone is a martial artsman, the palm of your hand and the back." Xu Ziyuan said: "If you can't win a battle, you won't be able to use the farts I made. Keep this wine for now. When the spring plowing is over, let's have a good meal. We need to burn a knife and don't have that kind of unpretentious wine."

"This is natural!" Zhang Jia smiled.

In border prefectures like Li Ze's rule, they are all teams of civil and military affairs. Zhang Jia and Xu Ziyuan get along well with each other. The two do not interfere with each other, but support each other, which really makes Shuozhou stronger and stronger.

Xu Ziyuan bowed and prepared to say goodbye, and Zhang Jia was also preparing to return to the military camp. Seeing Xu Ziyuan working so hard, Zhang Jia also felt nervous. During the spring plowing, if there was no war, his army would also need to take a turn to help.

When the two walked towards the high platform, they came from afar.
