Chapter 10 Farming War
?Someone said that the "modern" war is farming war. The so-called farming war is farming warfare, which is farming warfare, which is fighting, and farming warfare is the unity of soldiers and farmers. Yuwen Wen is both economic and military power and must ensure both economic and military power. If Yuwen is in Bazhou, where there are few people in the land, he must do something and exploit all forces for farming warfare.?

The ones who squeezed him first were his backbone. Don’t be busy with Xu Shao and he had to write things on the lights during the day and at night. His responsibilities were to organize the repair of water conservancy and completely rectify Santaihe outside Xiyang City. It was too late, but he had to make the existing ditches that had been disrepaired before the summer rainy season came.
The Tian family at the foot of Longtou Mountain knew that repairing water conservancy would be beneficial to them. After all, Santai River flowed through their farmland before reaching Xiyang City. When they saw that the state yamen wanted to make great efforts to clean up the dredging and rectify it, they were moved. They first sent young and strong men to the state yamen to command and then all the clans and young people went up to follow Xu Shao's command to start water control.
With sufficient manpower and solid iron tools, according to the current repair progress, we can complete it before the rainy season as long as it is not flooded, it can keep the fields in Xiyang County safe. Xu Shao was relieved, but there are still big things to be busy next.
The Anzhou General Administration Office announced that the Zhou army captured Jiangbei prefectures more than two years ago and were rescued and slaves were released and returned home. The population moved from the Jingzhou General Administration Office six months ago was dispersed and placed in the states. Relying on the governor Yuwen Wen in An, "strategic disputes" in An, nearly 700 households came to Bazhou.
These people are the people and not prisoners, so you need to be careful when resettling. As a civil servant, Xu Shao took on the heavy responsibility of resettling these people. Not only did he settle down, but he also had to arrange things for them to do. It seemed like a lot of things that seemed easy to do even if he had a staff sent from his family.
As busy as him, Hao Wu Bo was the first to treat the snails. The work of rectifying the snails and destroying the snails was almost desperate: there were too many places with snails. Fortunately, Yuwen Wen suggested that he conduct them in installments, so now he is taking inspections and warnings.
In the cultivated farmland and places where there are many activities of humans and animals, snails must be eliminated. As for other wastelands and reeds, markings are set up to warn. People who are already sick must also be eliminated when they live in their original place.
The desiccation of snails is either buried in soil or recycled lime. In order to destroy snails, he almost bought all the goods from the surrounding lime kilns. He directed his men to throw limes. This has to be done quickly. According to Yuwen Wen's statement, Huangzhou, Anzhou and Xiangzhou General Administrations will start to destroy snails, so quick lime may be in short supply.
"Langjun, the food is going to be cold." A servant said. When he saw Uncle Hao and Wu start to be stunned again, he quickly reminded him that since he started to be an official, he has been busy almost every day. Now it seems that he has only been a few months, and he feels like he is in a state of shape.
I don’t know how much distress the old mistress feels when she sees her!
"A Liu.?????`You don't have much to say to your family. If your mother knows something, you can wait for punishment!"
"I don't dare."
After saying that, Hao Wu continued to eat. Over the past few months, he finally began to feel tired, but his heart was still full of passion. Promoting the world and helping the people was the ancient sage's rule of establishing the world and his goal. Isn't the books that have been spent so many years just to show their ambitions?
Swelling disease is a common terminal illness in the Jianghan area. He has never been to Sanwu, but when he heard from his father that this disease often makes the whole village die. If the snail is extinguished, it can be treated, it is not. It is to prevent swelling disease, which is a merit to benefit the people.
Just as an official came in to report that a new batch of quicklime was shipped, Hao Wu Bo hurriedly finished his meal and led people out of the state yard to the north gate. Along the way, he saw many dilapidated houses being demolished by people and the stench-scattered ditches were also being cleaned.
A man in official uniform pointed at the ditch and nodded several officials beside him. The man bowed to Uncle Hao and then continued to direct people to work.
He is the chief Zheng Tong, and is now in charge of the "Xiyang City Cleaning and Renovation Project". One is to demolish and rebuild Lifang with poor sanitation, the second is to manage drainage ditches in the city and carry out renovation to prevent flooding, the third is to clean up the garbage dump and drain sewage, the fourth is to clean up the manure of people and animals, and the fifth is to destroy rats.
A mouse costs two cents a small amount. No matter how hard you get it, you can get the money by getting it to the state yamen. Zheng Tong, who collected the rats, is now called the "rat shopkeeper" by the people. The cost of the renovation project is from the proceeds of the sales of the glass mirror "dedicated" by the white turtle last year.
Abbot Zheng Tong looked haggard in this work. During the day, he had to lead people to demolish houses and clean up the dredging and study the direction of various ditches with the village chief. At night, he had to study and plan a ditches system that could reasonably discharge sewage. Fortunately, he had been a grassroots affairs officer, otherwise he would not be able to make any mistakes.
Xiyang is naturally not as good as Jiangling, but in Zheng Tong's opinion, the city drainage system is not too bad, but after hearing Yuwen Wen's request, he was also restless: if the rainy season is flooded and there are garbage, feces, and dead livestock soaked, if there is a plague, the whole city will die.
All dilapidated houses must be demolished to prevent fire and rebuilt the house after reconstruction, so that the people can shelter from wind and rain. The existing ditches must be cleaned and all the things inside need to be expanded and renovated. The stinky ponds and garbage piles everywhere must be filled or cleared to avoid mosquitoes and flies. As for rats, it is best not to have one, so in order to encourage rats to be wiped out and buy them at a high price.
All this had to be done before the rainy season. Zheng Tong visited the city for several days and stayed up for several nights before he decided on the plan with the officials. The next step was to implement it. Fortunately, Yuwen Wen had a high prestige and killed a group of local snakes, plus the strong financial resources of the state yamen. This work was carried out smoothly, but even so time was still very tight, so Zheng Tong was so busy that he couldn't even eat well.?
??`
The rats collected must be culled together, and all kinds of garbage they cleaned must be disposed of. The people's habit of urinating and defecating at will will not be changed for a while and they have to urge them. During the demolition, people who cried and wanted to live and die with their ancestral houses must find a way to persuade them to leave. A lot of trivial matters must be solved. He just wished he could not join in as a few people to go into battle together.
After so many days of busyness, Zheng Tong almost couldn't remember what the two little kids looked like...
Even more busy than him was Yang Ji. He was the Sima of the State. It is said that civil affairs do not need to be managed, but he shouldered the guidance of the rice transplanting method and made him very busy. The official fields should be transplanted by the rice transplanting method, and the fields divided by the soldiers of the Hulin Army outside Bahe City should be implemented. Yang Ji, the only one who mastered the key points of rice transplanting method, became a busy person.
He was busy guiding seedling cultivation every day and had to go to the site to solve the problems. Most of the day passed, and then he had to rectify the city defense. Fortunately, this work was mainly handled by the Chief Shi Ren Chong, otherwise he would not want to sleep at night.
The former governor had already repaired the Xiyang city wall, so what we need to rectify is the Arrow Tower. The originally dilapidated Arrow Tower had to be pushed down and built a fire-resistant brick and stone arch tower, and closed sentry towers were built in key areas to avoid being attacked by internal thieves easily.
Given the lessons of the rebellion on New Year's Eve, the defense measures of Gelifang must be strengthened and improved. All this requires a lot of energy, manpower, material resources and financial resources. The state soldiers and military families were mobilized to participate in the renovation, and the search for the property obtained by Tian Yuansheng and others was just very useful.
There are not many soldiers in the standing prefecture. If the enemy attacks and besieges the city, we must organize young and strong men to help defend the city. Yang Ji is planning to organize a 'forming squad' to allow young and strong men in Xiyang City to have basic ability to defend the city. The governor Yuwen Wen strongly supports this and throws the burden to him and carries it alone. He calls it "I am optimistic about you!"
The Hulin Army used the attacking sword, so the state soldiers of Bazhou were mainly defense. If the Hulin Army fought outside, the important task of defending the city would fall into the hands of the state soldiers and the young and strong. If Xiyang City could not be defended well, then how could Yuwen Wen feel at ease outside?
His family is all in the city. If he plays with horses in the Three Kingdoms, his whole family is trapped in the city and killed by someone, he will die. Yuwen Wen, the safety of Xiyang City, is directly handed over to Yang Ji.
The construction of water conservancy and the extinguishing of snails is to prepare for farming and increase income and expand the area of farmland, which is called farming, while fighting requires troops. On the one hand, the rectification of state troops and city defense is the same, while on the other hand, Yuwen Wen began to expand his army.
In Bahe City, many people settled in the city with their families. These people were Xiangyang naval soldiers and their families moved from Xiangzhou, and were also old neighbors of Zhang Yu, the servant of Yuwen Wen.
After the rectification of the Xiangyang Navy, Yu Wenming, governor of Xiangzhou, the treatment of the Xiangyang Navy improved a lot, but many people were still willing to relocate to Bazhou to join the command of Xiao Yuwen Envoy. According to Zhang Yu's introduction, they knew that there were enough lakes here to fish.
If there is a choice, no one is willing to take the boat as their home. If possible, everyone wants to have their own land to farm. No matter how bad it is, there must be a lot of fish in the waters to fish. The Xiangyang Navy is just a part-time fisherman on weekdays and only a single Han River, so there are so many fish that many people can share.
But the lake east of Bahe City will be their fishing place in the future. The city will be collected as much as they can. Now Xiao Yuwen envoy has distributed houses in Bahe City for them to live in. It is said that in the future, wasteland will be reclaimed into fertile land and will be qualified if they make contributions.
With houses and stable fish catches, plus hope. These Xiangyang naval soldiers who settled in Bazhou were full of energy. Xiao Yuwen envoy wanted to rebuild the Bazhou naval army with them as the backbone, but they would not have to fight against the Chen State naval army for a while. Now their task is to fish, and there are many lakes in Bazhou that do not need to work hard on the Yangtze River.
Zhang Yu was busy helping the old neighbors settle their homes. Now that Bahe City has returned, his Langzhu has begun to resettle relatives of Hulin Army soldiers and hundreds of Xiangyang naval soldiers who have moved here. The original Bazhou naval army has also moved in after rectification. According to Langzhu's plan, he will start to build a fortress in Bakou as a Bazhou water village after finishing this period.
"How, Xiaoyuer, what do you need help from your neighbors?" asked the military leader Chen Wudi. He has now been appointed as the lord of Bahe City, responsible for the affairs of all sizes and large in the city. The hundreds of households moved to the Xiangyang Navy Army were specially told by Yuwen Wen to do it.
Zhang Yu smiled and said that everything went smoothly and after waiting for a few days to get used to it, everyone could go to the lake to catch fish. Chen Wudi nodded when he heard this. He and other meritorious soldiers all had houses and fields in Bahe City. Now the soldiers who had divided the fields had called relatives and friends to settle down, so Bahe City was very lively now.
According to Yuwen Wen's plan, Bahe City will be expanded. The fields outside the city have been almost divided, and the wastelands outside the Hulin Army camp will be reclaimed. After Xu Shao has managed the Santai River, he will turn the wastelands into fertile fields, and those fertile fields are waiting for the Hulin Army soldiers who have made contributions to the division.
The wasteland near Santaihe outside the military camp is actually very suitable for reclamation, but because of the floods in the rainy season and I don’t know if there is such a terrible bloating disease, it has been ignored. If the water conservancy is built and the dense nails and snails in the scattered reed marshes are destroyed, it will be just around the corner.
With the expectation of dividing the fields, the Hulin Army was full of energy and was waiting to make contributions in combat. Even Chen Wudi himself was full of passion. He was originally an ordinary soldier in the Anzhou army. Later, he followed Yuwen Wen, the Duke of Xiyang County, to Beijiangzhou and went deep into the tiger's den and then formed a new army to become a general and went step by step to the present.
Then he wanted to follow Yuwen Wen to continue to make contributions and earn the family business for his family. Not only all his soldiers thought so, so they worked very hard when they trained. Now everyone is waiting for something to kill and make contributions.
"After expanding the army, there are more things you can do." Chen Wudi murmured to himself as he looked at the barracks in the wilderness opposite Bashui on the west side.
......
In the military camp, newly recruited soldiers were lined up to listen to the lecture. They were lucky people who heard that the army of Xiyang County Gong Yuwen Wen wanted to recruit soldiers and then actively signed up and finally passed the screening.
After a year, the good treatment of fellow villagers who followed Xiyang County Gong to serve in the army made them envious, so everyone was excited to be selected. At the same time, the young and strong people who were recruited from Jingzhou were selected among the people who moved to Bazhou from Jingzhou, which combined together was 2,000.
The owner of the bus, Tian Zhengyue, stood on the stage with a paper trumpet and promoted military discipline. He was responsible for training these new recruits, so he was also very motivated. According to the standard of raising one soldier for five households, the original 3,000 soldiers of the Hulin Army was already the limit of the number of full-time soldiers that Bazhou, with less than 20,000 households, could raise. Now the newly recruited 2,000 people are entirely supported by the head coach Yuwen Wen to raise money and food, so he had to train these 2,000 soldiers into combat soldiers instead of waste.
"If you join the Hulin Army, you will not be qualified if you don't practice a layer of skin. Are you ready?"
"It's done!" The response was a bit sparse.
"Too quiet, say it again!"
"It's done!!" This response was thunderous.
"Very good, now all recruits start to call for the name! Those who call the name will answer loudly!!"
According to the successful experience of training, these teams were selected from veterans of the Hulin Army and specially trained for new recruits. A year ago, they were still poor people who knew nothing. They entered the Hulin Army and practiced wildly for four months before they went to the battlefield and fought bloody battles to achieve their achievements today.
According to the previous training steps and lessons, they are full of confidence in training the new recruits in front of them into qualified combat soldiers: So you must suffer all the sufferings we suffered back then!
The new recruits were starting to name the recruits under their jurisdiction, and the recruits who were named after the names were loudly responding, which made the team know them, and the other was to make the comrades familiar with each other.
"Liu Hulu!"
"have!"
"Liang Sanguan!"
"have!"
"Zhang Xu...tuo!"
