The third hundred households are developing very fast, and Min Yuanqi also needs more talent helpers.

Most of the officials in Qianhu Suo City, including Zhu Wen, were recruited, but the officials were not all used together. Some cunning people wanted to do something when they came here, and they were corrupt and cheated. If such people were found out, they would be caught by Han Sen on the canal ship and tied them to the bottom of the river, but the trouble of lack of people could never be solved.

Guan Lei from a hundred households also applied for the recruitment as an official, but Ding Ruqi went to the relatives' houses in Guannan County to study.

Although the capital fell, the county government and the government and the government will obviously be suspended, and the provincial and provincial examinations will not know when they will be normal, but everyone should think that these examinations will resume sooner or later...

Whether it is the Ming Dynasty that has recovered or the establishment of the new dynasty, exams are the top priority, and this is indeed the case.

In addition to the conquest of force, the imperial examination began in the Sui Ji and was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people by the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Without exams, the scholar-official and student classes cannot be gathered, and these two classes are the cornerstones of stabilizing the hearts of the world.

Therefore, no matter whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the New Dynasty, scientific research will definitely be restored. From this level, Ding Ruqi's decision cannot be said to be a complete mistake.

For Min Yuanqi, he would not be able to win over the stinky and hard scholars... he could not do anything even if he brought them back. He claimed to be a clever and aloof person. Such scholars would just waste their salaries when they came.

"There are many half-year-old boys in the village, so I still have to find a way to gather together and teach them to read and arithmetic." Min Yuanqi thought for a moment and said: "Knowing thousands of characters can calculate addition and subtraction within a hundred, and even if you can write and remember, you will be very helpful."

Wang Mingyuan said: "If this is the case, it will be taught almost half a year."

Min Yuanqi nodded and decided to start the school of officials as soon as possible.

You can also choose some half-aged children. In addition to literacy and mathematics, you can teach some common sense in surveying, mapping and military science. Even if you are a young military academy student, you will have greater potential and future development in the future.

But Min Yuanqi was also a little confused, wondering if he had enough time to slowly do these things that consolidated the foundation?

"How to solve the problem of saline-alkali land?" Li Guoding was quite confident in Min Yuanqi. At this point, if Min Yuanqi had no idea, it would be impossible.

"Actually, it's very simple." Min Yuanqi smiled and said, "Digging water into the acres of water, dig a drainage channel in advance, soaking the field for two to three days before draining it. If the effect is not good, do it again. After two or three times, the salt in the land will be almost diluted. Then, after the plot is solidified, it is best to dig up to two feet deep, and then break the slab plots constantly. This cycle is repeated. Although such land cannot be said to be high-quality fertile land, it is no different from ordinary farmland. We don't lack fertilizer here, manpower and animal power. It's not difficult to produce two or three stones per mu, right?"

Li Guoding's eyes were straight, and he was so excited that he even trembled a little...

"Mr. Qianhu, what you said is really effective?"

"Uncle Li, can I coax you without any trouble?" Min Yuanqi said with a smile: "It definitely works. Just rest assured."

This method of improving saline-alkali land was a very mature experience in later generations, especially in the period when biotechnology had not been promoted, which means that Min Yuanqi saw more when he was a child.

Later, I didn’t need to soak the fields and cultivate them in depth. I used crop improvement or directly used biological agents to save more effort. Maybe it was because the labor costs were higher at that time, or it was more profitable to plant flowers and trees. Sprinkle the preparations on the saline-alkali land and plant flowers, and soon it was directly improved to high-quality soft and cooked soil.

Min Yuanqi studied a similar major in college, but now he can't make any biological preparations. Fortunately, the field and deep cultivation method are also effective, but it requires a lot of human and animal power... Fortunately, these things are the easiest to get in this era and the most valuable things.

"If this is the case, I will dare to issue a military order now. The harvest per mu will never be less than three stones!" Li Guoding's muscles were shaking. He was less than fifty, but his temples were gray and gray. This hundred households had never fought a war in their entire life and just kept transporting grain to the capital. The time they did not have a capital, they would spend it in the fields to study how to handle the crops so that he and his flag troops would get more harvests.

A hundred households can't be hungry no matter how poor they are. A richer household can still support a few households, and at least more than 100 acres of land will have a certain number of flag soldiers to farm for the officials of the households. If Li Guoding was for himself, he could live his life comfortably, but after working hard and thinking, he actually wanted to make the flag soldiers under his hundred households live better.

This is not surprising. There will always be some kind and lofty ambitions in any era and at any time. They may have stage performance and achieve success in their careers. They may also be unknown and live a lifetime.

Even if Li Guoding has a stage now, he is ready to try it out.

"Everyone should do it with their heart, and our Yundi Pass will definitely get better and better." Min Yuanqi also felt a sense of relief. No matter what, the place in front of him had undergone earth-shaking changes because of his arrival. He had a faint expectation in his heart. If he could perform better and do what he had at hand better, would it make the history in front of him have a bigger and better change?

This is the first time that Min Yuanqi has undergone such a change in his heart.

Even Min Yuanqi himself did not realize that with the increase of strength and prestige, the trust of the people around him increased day by day. Now he is no longer thinking about fleeing south, but he is also thinking about bringing all the people who follow him. There are even some subtle changes in his heart: Can we do better and change the fate of China's about to sink?

Min Yuanqi shook his head and did not continue thinking about it...

Even if a strong battalion of troops was trained, compared with the tens of thousands of Qing troops and hundreds of thousands of servants of the Ming army who entered the pass, the strength Min Yuanqi was still too weak...

"Sir, sir?"

Not far away, a servant from the Central Army Division shouted, "A guest is asking for a visit!"

...

With Min Yuanqi's reputation rising, many people come to ask for a meeting every day.

There are the most salt merchants. Although Min Yuanqi and the Zhu family have a deep cooperative relationship, there are also many salt merchants who come over to seek their visit with various purposes.

Min Yuanqi was not interested in seeing this type of person. If Min Qiande was there, he would send Min Qiande. Min Qiande went out, and Li Kecheng, the real Qianhou family, was still there. Min Yuanqi simply summoned Li Kecheng and let this Qianhou be the storefront, which was considered to be a fight for Min Qiande in the Foreign Affairs Department.

The owner of Qianhucheng, who was once the city of Qianhucheng, now meets those inexplicable people at the 300th house every day, but Li Kecheng has no resistance at all and is doing it happily every day.

In addition to salt merchants, there are also many grain, grocery merchants, cloth merchants, and iron merchants. The 300th household produces salt every few days. The silver comes very quickly. Because of the many workshops, a large number of new soldiers have been recruited, and the demand for materials is extremely high. Now the 300th household wharf is quite lively. A large number of ships are parked on the shore every day. Most of these ships are not big, and many are small boats that are not worth a single piece of material, but a large amount of supplies are sent along the river through these small boats. Sometimes Min Yuanqi will stand on the shore, watching the ships flow down the upstream at dawn, and feel no lack of emotion in his heart.

If it weren't for Yuntiguan's deployment along the river, even if you had money, the speed of purchasing materials would have dropped significantly and the cost would have increased significantly.

The military officers from other institutes will also come to visit, and there are also some leading figures, officials, gentry or students in some places, sometimes they will come to greet each other, of course, hoping that Min Yuanqi can protect them from being disturbed by bandits or bandits.

These people are above the top of their minds. They obviously come to ask for help, but they still look arrogant and do not even have the interest in meeting such people.

If it were decades ago, let alone Min Yuanqi, even Liu Zeqing would have to be polite to these officials and gentry students in case they had a bad reputation to influence their career.

At this time, even the magistrates and even officials of the prefectures in various counties have gone from being polite to welcome Liu Zeqing, and even become a slave-like role. Ordinary officials, gentry and students have long been ignored.

Of course, among these people, there are also Wang Zuo, who is willing to possess the dragon-slaying technique. They usually suck their mouths and the disease is almost cured.

Min Yuanqi himself understood that the 300th household was already quite outstanding in terms of strength, but the forbearance or support from Nanjing and Huai'an for him was based on the fact that the Min family was a general of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, the foundation of hundreds of flag troops would not be enough to cause such a big deal.

There are all kinds of people coming and going, and these people cannot be asked to enter within a hundred households. Min Yuanqi asked people to build several rows of houses outside the entrance of the village to use them as temporary reception centers and warehouse transfer areas. The guests who came here today are relatively special and have extraordinary identities. Although Min Yuanzhong, as a central officer, is not a traditional clever officer, he is at least from a noble family and is still quite well identified by the identity of the visitor.

When Min Yuanqi arrived, a team of mules and horses just came from the dock, lined up all the way to the hundred houses, and a foul smell spread around him.

Min Yuanzhong came up, and after crossing his hands, he and Min Yuanqi smiled and watched the mules and horses head east along the widened road.

There is a large wasteland on the west side of the military camp area, and the workshop area is in the southwest, and the large cowshed and horse shed are built in the northwest.

Two hundred households on the north bank of the Huai River have also built large animal husbandry areas, which are guarded by the Security Department, and the Agricultural Department will send people to take care of them.

"The Zhu family has been quite effective recently." Min Yuanqi counted, with about one hundred horses and mules, and smiled at Min Yuanzhong and said, "Are there a lot of them?"

"Now there are three places that raise these big animals," Min Yuanzhong said: "In the past ten days, there are more than a thousand donkeys, more than 300 cows, more than 500 mules, and more than 200 horses to be sent. The Zhu family went from Xuzhou to Yangzhou and bought them everywhere for us. Fortunately, waterways were everywhere. They bought them and transported them by large ships. Zhu Wanchun's brothers were sent out and they did their best."

Min Yuanqi nodded and said, "We should find more veterinarians to come here, take good care of these animals, and don't spend money to buy them. At that time, the care of Buzhou will become sick and die. The people who care for the animal husbandry in the Agricultural Department should be on the head of each person in charge. Any animal husbandry will be thoroughly investigated if it dies. If it exceeds three, it will be removed from its post. If there is any negligence and slackness, it will be punished."

"Yes, these are all within the charter," Min Yuanzhong said: "Now everyone is already adapting to doing things under the charter, and they will not dare to be negligent and slack."

Min Yuanzhong nodded and smiled, saying, "Where are the guests?"
