After receiving the letter from home, Liu Xin felt at ease. He knew that this year another 3,000 acres of wasteland had been opened up in the barren hills east of Qilin Villa. Now the area of ​​alfalfa planting has reached 3,500 acres. There are over 10,000 livestock in the family and there is only one hen in the chicken farm in winter.

.

Last year's grain supply was nearly 100,000 dan, and this year's grain harvest is another bumper one. Together with the eggs and chicken from the chicken farm, Luyin Township can now feed 30,000 to 40,000 people. This is almost as much as the output of a large county.

.

Liu Xin asked his family to stock up on food and build a village in the alfalfa grassland. There are about a hundred people in a village. It is not a problem to take care of 500 acres of alfalfa and raise thousands of livestock. Wang Hui will have to build a green fodder factory here after the spring this year. This is

One of the fundamental reasons for the survival of Qilin Villa.

Wang Hui also told Liu Xin that his 24 [Dawan horses] have been almost tamed and will be almost ready for ownership in the spring of next year. All 24 [Dawan horses] have reached the level of BMWs. Liu Xin will have to go home after the spring.

One trip.

In fact, you can take vacation every year when you are an official abroad. The official holidays are all annual leave. Sometimes some officials go home for several months, and some officials even stay at home in winter.

In order to allow officials to return home every year, the imperial court sent almost all officials from neighboring states, or from the same state far away. It rarely happened that people whose families were in Youzhou sent officials to the south of Yuzhou.

Liu Xin did not go home in the first year, but now everything in Xiandu County is on track. The crises in Xianbei and Wuhuan have been basically eliminated. As long as he follows the planned plan, it doesn't matter whether he is in Xiandu County or not.

Zhao Yun will be 16 years old after the Chinese New Year. Liu Xin hasn't visited him for a long time. The positions of Zhang Jia, Cheng Yu, Wen Chou, Xu Shu, and Huang Zhong have all been confirmed, and they are all Liu Xin's very promising recruits. If he doesn't do it early,

Liu Xin was also afraid of something unexpected happening when he took action.

Now, as the magistrate of a large county, I am fully capable of recruiting celebrities from non-big families. I don't know how well the twenty new strongholds are built. After the spring, I have to go south anyway.

Xiandu County has sufficient supplies, so people don’t have to go hungry. Even if there are lazy people, the government can give them life-saving food. In winter, Liu Xin organizes national martial arts activities at the inner and outer city walls of Xiandu County. Anyone who comes can get it every day.

After having a full meal, there is also meat to eat in every meal. Many young and middle-aged children of the people actively participate in it.

Everyone here knows the importance of force. If the force of ordinary people in Zhuo County is mostly below 10, the force of ordinary people here is close to 20. As long as they are organized, their strength is no worse than that of the general army.

The common people were very grateful to Liu Xin for issuing such a decree, and everyone actively studied. If they showed strong talent in martial arts and were valued by Liu Xin and were recruited into the city guard reserve team, they would receive extra money every month.

When these hundreds of people went to the martial arts training ground outside the city, they could learn various martial arts skills every day. Liu Xin specially prepared some old horses with docile personalities for some children to learn riding skills.

Slowly Liu Xin found that the people's fear of the Xianbei cavalry and Wuhuan cavalry was slowly disappearing, and everyone obeyed Liu Xin's orders more. Many powerful people were asking how to join Liu Xin's army.

Xiandu County has become the glory of everyone.

On the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Jian Yong came to report that the number of wolves outside the city had increased. People had been attacked for several days, and the losses of cattle and sheep in each village were considerable.

This is not a trivial matter. People in the grasslands say that wolves are actually the real owners of the grasslands. Xiandu County is vast and sparsely populated, and there are many times more wolves than people. Liu Xin called on all people to kill wolves. A pair of wolf ears can be used in the county government

In exchange for 100 coins, people all over Xiandu County formed a team to kill wolves.

However, after only three days, the number of villages outside the county began to be attacked. More and more wolves came at night. At most, the number of wolves could reach more than 400.

Liu Xin knew that wolves were very intelligent. They attacked the village because the weather was cold this year and the food they hunted began to decrease. He saw that Xiandu County began to actively attack them, so he came to take revenge.

Faced with the opponent's declaration of war, Liu Xin certainly would not retreat. While he ordered to provide loss subsidies to the people who were damaged by the wolves, he also sent elite troops to stay in the villages that were attacked by the wolves. As a result, they fought with the wolves for five consecutive days.

A large battle occurred, with more than 3,000 wolves killed in total, two soldiers and civilians killed, and more than a hundred injured.

Liu Xin regarded this wolf attack as a different war. He asked Zhou Tai to personally deploy and kill the wolves attacking the village with all his strength. During the day, he and Zhou Tai, Guan Hai, Fang Yue, Cheng Yuanzhi, and Wei Qinwu

He personally led the elite cavalry and followed the footprints left by the wolves in the snow when they fled at night. After finding the wolves, he used the [Elite Repeater Crossbow] to shoot them.

There are only about 20 people in each team, but they are all third-rate or above military generals. Everyone wears thermal underwear and down jackets. As long as the first-rate military generals lead the team and find the wolf pack, it is difficult to escape. On the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Xin discovered

They have killed more than 30,000 wolves. There are wolves everywhere in Xiandu County, and it is rare to hear news of being attacked by wolves in the villages outside the city. This wolf killing activity is over.

From the New Year's Eve to the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, there was an endless stream of people visiting Liu Xin. Many representatives of aristocratic families in Xiandu County visited Liu Xin and told them their plight. Since Liu Xin came to Xiandu County, their previous means of making a living have changed.

There is no way to use it anymore. Those who have land outside the city are fine, but those without land can only rest on their laurels. Liu Xin does not want to force all the wealthy families to death at once.

He pointed out the future path for some aristocratic families. If they want to make money, there are many opportunities in Xiandu County. The county government cannot take care of all aspects. If they follow the general trend and discover business opportunities, their gains will be no less than those from squeezing the people.

For example, there are many people in Xiandu County now, and the cold weather requires a lot of cotton-padded clothes. The business of the blacksmith shops in the city has been very good, and many armor craftsmen can earn several times a month. Some villages have formed construction teams, and each villager can earn more than

Consistently. The price of charcoal in the city increases rapidly in winter.

Many wealthy families are happy to leave. As long as they can play their part, the overall strength of Xiandu County will increase rapidly. As time goes by, Liu Xin may delegate more powers. He only needs to be responsible for the most critical aspects of the entire Xiandu County.

part.

In the evening, Liu Xin and all his subordinates left, and he and Zhang Qingyu chatted and drank milk tea in the house. Zhang Qingyu followed him to Xiandu County. She would be 16 years old after the Chinese New Year. She missed her brother a little while being in a foreign land with him.
