Chapter 216 The prefect welcomes you
The harvest was so huge that Liu Xin returned to Zhuo County on September 3rd.
There were 2,000 people when we went there, but more than 6,000 people came back. Some of them were the families of the generals and soldiers who had surrendered to Liu Xin. For example, Fang Yue brought more than 40 people from his entire family to move with Liu Xin.
There were also some small aristocratic families, soldiers, and common people who all voluntarily followed Liu Xin. Perhaps they were worried that the imperial court would settle a score with them for rebellion in the future, or perhaps they were convinced by Liu Xin's merit-based rewards this time.
Liu Xin has no reason to let go of these families who are willing to take refuge with him. These people can serve as his grassroots managers and make the structure of Qilin Villa more reasonable.
And this time, even though he distributed all the money as a reward, he still had more than 20,000 stones of grain and grass, thousands of war horses, steeds, 20,000 weapons, and 5,000 pieces of equipment. These were enough to take care of all the servants in Green Yin Township.
Armed.
Liu Xin led a mighty army from Yi County into Zhuoxian County. As soon as they entered the Zhuoxian area, someone came to report that there was a spy horse spying on them. Liu Xin knew that this was a spy from the prefect Liu Qi, so he ignored it.
In the afternoon, the sun was about to set. Liu Xin rode at the front of the front line. When he was only 10 miles away from Zhuoxian City, Liu Qi led all Zhuoxian officials, aristocratic families, and township representatives out of the city to meet him and give Liu Xin face.
That's enough.
The trophies of the 6,000-strong army included more than 1,000 horse-drawn carriages. Looking at the rut marks, everyone knew that Liu Xin had gained a lot this time, and many people from aristocratic families cast envious glances.
Liu Xin naturally wanted to give Liu Qi enough face when the other party was like this. He led all his retainers and generals to dismount from their horses, salute Liu Qi, and report to him what he had achieved during the expedition. In fact, Liu Qi and the people in Zhuoxian City already knew about these, and they also knew that next year
Liu Xin is about to become an official and a county magistrate.
He and Liu Qi returned to Zhuoxian City in parallel. The Governor's Mansion had prepared a grand celebration banquet for them. Powerful families inside and outside the city sent people to attend. The whole scene was extremely lively, and Liu Xin became the only protagonist at the scene.
With the constant prompts from the system, Liu Xin gained a bunch of [Benevolence Values], [Loyalty Values] and Loyalty Values. He didn’t know how much he drank. When he was sent back to the south courtyard by his family, Liu Xin
Only then did he regain some consciousness.
Looking at what he had gained this month, Liu Xin couldn't help but smile. The [Benevolence Value] was 123 points, the [Loyalty Value] was 290 points, and the [Loyalty Value] was 59 points.
In the following days, the city of Zhuo County returned due to the victory of the rebels, and Liu Xin was about to be appointed by the court as the magistrate of Xiandu County. Everyone talked about him. Liu Xin settled all the people and soldiers he brought back in [New Town]
With Qilin Mountain, this made Green Shadow Township suddenly overcrowded.
Liu Xin now has more than 1,300 soldiers, more than 500 guards, 2,000 servants, and more than 2,000 servants. In addition, there are more than 4,000 generals, guards, servants, tenants, and family members who have taken refuge in him.
There are more than 2,000 people working as day laborers.
The entire Luyin Township now has more people than people, which is a big number in this era. The imperial court generally counts more than 2,000 households as a large county, and the average number of people per household at this time is seven, which means that the population of Luyin Township is about the same.
It's a big county.
With more people and greater strength, September is the harvest season. Starting from September 10th, Liu Xin began to organize servants, servants, tenants, and day laborers to start harvesting grain together. Of course, only servants from the east of Luyin Township could come.
Because Liu Xin signed short-term labor contracts with all the tenants, all the grain harvest belonged to Liu Xin. A total of 200 acres of corn harvest was 5,600 shi. Liu Xin deposited all the corn in the upper courtyard granary. This [my73 corn seed] is a hybrid variety.
Starting from the second generation, the corn kernels will become all kinds of weird in shape and color, and the yield will be greatly reduced, but they will still be much larger than ordinary grains.
The current yield of corn per mu is 28 shi. Even if it drops below 20 shi in the future, it will still be much better than the current maximum yield of 10 shi per mu.
Corn is so high-yielding, but sweet potatoes are much larger than corn. 2,000 acres of sweet potatoes yield 80 shi per mu, which works out to 160,000 shi. What kind of number is this?
160,000 shi of grain is enough to feed eight thousand people, which is more grain than many small counties produce in one county.
In addition, there are potatoes, with a total of 1,500 shi in more than 30 acres, more than 60 shi in two acres of pumpkins, 10,000 shi in 200 acres of sugar beets, and thousands of grapes are also bearing fruit this year. It is the time to mature in the past few days.
There is still one month left before Chuanchuan harvest, so this year can be said to be a good year for Liu Xin.
In addition, this year the tenants planted a total of acres of land and harvested various grain stones. In addition, Liu Xin's family still has more than 60,000 stones of grain, so the total of all his grains exceeds 300,000 stones. If people knew about it, they would be surprised.
tooth!
Although this food seems to be a lot, Liu Xin knows that he is responsible for the food of all the tenants and day laborers in Lvyin Township. The money they earn here must be used to buy food. With so many people, they probably have to pay for it in a year.
There are more than 200,000 shi of grain, so Liu Xin may not have any extra grain in his hands.
Having said all that, Liu Xin's greatest contribution, and the least impressive one, is actually his chicken farm. Now a single hen lays nearly 20,000 eggs, which allows the farm to save less than half of the food and at the same time ensure that the army and the family are stable.
Nutrition, and the money distributed by Liu Xin can be recovered.
After the grain harvest was completed, Liu Xin first promoted some retainers and generals, and then distributed monthly tickets and rewards to everyone. It can be said that every family in Luyin Township is rich, and those who participated in the rebellion in Hejian County even changed their families into fine cloth. Many
People began to take wives.
Who in Zhuo County doesn’t know that there is money in Luyin Township, and they can enjoy the blessings there, and the soldiers who take wives are very generous. After the autumn harvest, Liu Xin can see people taking wives every day. Most of the brides are from other villages outside Zhuo County.
Even the daughters of common people in the city.
At the end of September, Liu Xin asked people to dry raisins while also sending raisins, fried noodles, bacon and other items to Zhending County in Changshan. There was a stronghold there to deliver all these to Zhao Yun. Liu Xin would deliver them every month.
Something to go to Phoenix Mountain.
Liu Xin rewarded his subordinates with nearly 200 million yuan, which made the entire Green Yin Township extremely prosperous throughout September. In just twenty days, the village sold half a year's worth of cloth, in addition to various other items.
The consumption of salt, tea, white sugar, grapes, fried noodles, eggs, and meat has increased several times compared to before.
Countless new houses are being built every day in the east and west of Luyin River. Carpenter Sun and his apprentices have moved to the west of Luyin River to settle down. A lively area larger than [New Town] is being formed. This year's bumper harvest in Zhuoxian County has made millet prices rise.
