Ye, Xinping Houdi, Li Li held his crying son and couldn't coax him no matter how hard he was. He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In the end, he could only hand over his son to Huang Gui.

Huang Gui took his son, hugged him in his arms and whispered softly. Soon, the little guy calmed down, talking, not knowing what he was saying.

My son is only a few months old and doesn't know anything. Li Li was quite helpless: "Oh, I'm in Poyang, you are in Jiankang. Even if my son starts to recognize people, I'm afraid he won't recognize me, Aye."

Huang Ying smiled and said, "Sanlang asked someone to draw a portrait and let him see it every day."

"Forget it, it doesn't feel auspicious to see the portrait all day long."

Li Li sighed with emotion. Seeing his daughter Li Ping'an looking at him, he picked up his daughter and asked her: "Does Ping'an want Aye?"

"think!"

"Then, should I go back to Poyang with Aye?"

Li Ping'an was over two years old and nodded happily when he heard this, but thought for a while and asked, "My grandma, are your brother back to Poyang too?

"My brother is too young to go far, so he has to be in Jiankang with his grandmother."

"Then I'm going to be with my brother."

"Oh, then, Ping An promised Aye to take care of his mother and brother for Aye, okay?"

"good!"

The family of four was in a happy mood. When Du saw that his son-in-law had something to say to his daughter, he asked the wet nurse to take the two little guys out.

After calmness, Li Li sat on the couch and talked about family affairs with Huang Feng: "I will go back in a while. Take care of yourself in Jiankang. Two little guys are not worried."

Huang Yan nodded, but asked, "Never lead troops to the battle next, right?"

Li Li smiled and shook his head: "I dare not go, I have made great contributions one after another, and I don't know how many people are jealous. I am in Poyang and concentrate on handling the county affairs."

Huang Gui was skeptical: "Really? This is the final word for your Majesty."

"There are so many generals who can conquer and fight well in the court. You can't let me fight every battle, right?" Li Li spread his hands, "This surprise attack on Xiangzhou is nothing more than Poyang."

Huang Gui suddenly turned cold: "There is no reason that you always ask you to help! Surprise attacks, surprise attacks, you are a surprise attack, not going out for an outing, and you must not be calm if you are a county magistrate!"

Li Li replied: "There is no way, those who can do it will work harder. Moreover, I am not stupid enough to die. It is impossible for me to jump down even though I know there is a cliff ahead."

"What then?" Huang Yan said slowly, "Nanchuan may not be peaceful. It is unknown whether Jing and Xiang can pacify it. What if the war is everywhere and you are looking for you to put out the fire?"

"What should I do? Then go." Li Li smiled, "Without war, there will be no military merits. Without military merits, how can I, Liang Lang and my subordinates be promoted?"

"When countries decide the outcome, it depends on force. Look at the two strong neighbors in the north, Gao and Yuwen, who did not start their own business through martial arts?"

"The imperial court has suppressed military men for many years, but now it is a big loss sooner or later. If you lack talents, then whoever can fight will be more tired."

"I said before that the court is like a stage. As long as I can perform on the stage and exercise my acting skills, no matter how hard or tired I have to pay for it out of my own pocket, I have to grit my teeth and hold on."

Of course, Huang Gui understood this truth, but he felt very distressed when he saw Li Li working so hard: "Then you promise me that you don't have to take risks if you are not sure about the battle. After all, those who are good at swimmers are prone to drowning."

"Don't worry, don't I have any right-hand men and Liang Lang? When the team matures, I don't need to do everything myself. Naturally, they will charge forward."

This topic came from Huang Yan's concern. Seeing that Li Li knew it, she talked about other things: "Poyang is now clearing wasteland and farming everywhere, so we..."

Speaking of this topic, Li Li became more and more energetic: "The land has been selected. Although it is now a wasteland, it is amazing to concentrate manpower and material resources to cultivate it in three years."

"Sanlang, where is our land?"

"Here, look..." Li Li dipped his fingers in water and drew a draft on the table: "Between the north and south Poles, that's a good place, with mountains and water..."

Huang Gui remembered something and asked: "Sanlang, since there is water there, will there be schistosomiasis?"

"Schistosomiasis? No, there will be no schistosomiasis in the waters without snails." Li Li smiled, "And sooner or later, I will treat schistosomiasis and let the people in the county live and work in peace and contentment."

Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitic disease with a wide range and strong harm, but this name has only appeared in modern times. Li Li gave Huang Gui "popular science" of schistosomiasis, so she knew about the relevant situation.

In ancient times, people had realized that people who were exposed to water sources with 'Guworms' would have swelling of the liver and belly and would have contracted "big belly disease", which is quite common in the Yangtze River Basin and tributary basins.

But I don't know how to prevent and treat it.

The treatment of schistosomiasis is quite troublesome even in modern times. This disease was equivalent to a terminal illness in ancient times, which would make many young and strong people lose their ability to work, and would also hinder people from developing more wastelands and expanding grain production.

But Li Li knew how to "prevent", that is, to eliminate the host of schistosomiasis - snails.

He is now the Poyang internal historian, and can mobilize some resources to destroy some waters in the county, defend against schistosomiasis, and ensure safety in the area.

Specific measures will be implemented next year. Now, we must first find out which waters have snails.

"Don't worry, in a few years, Poyang will definitely undergo a complete transformation." Li Li said confidently, "We will also have fields, land and manors, let's take a look..."

"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely seeing the southern mountains!"

......

In late autumn, the weather is getting cooler, but for the people in Poyang County, their hearts are getting hotter and hotter.

Large-scale military farming has been launched in the North and South Po River Basin. Whether it is a large number of local farmers or foreign merchants, they have recruited people and purchased a large number of iron tools and plowing oxen. Under the planning of the government, they have selected plots and started to renovate land.

We strive to complete sowing in the spring of the following year, and in two to three years, the grain output of cultivated fields can be increased to the ability to feed the plowing people.

Then in a few years, turn raw fields into mature fields, increase the output, can be exported, or used for copper and porcelain.

In a certain place, in a large area of ​​just overburning wasteland, a large number of young and strong people held farm tools, drove away oxen and turned over the land, dug ditches, and flags on the ground were waving. Different colors of banners represent different ‘positions’.

Just like in war, the young and strong people belong to different teams, working in their respective "positions", striving to reclaim these wastelands into farmland.

Wu Xiang stood on a hill, looking at the hot labor scene in front of him, feeling quite emotional.

He turned to Wang Le beside him and smiled: "Uncle Wang, when next summer and autumn, the rice and wheat will mature, at first glance, it will be full of golden colors."

"Yes, at first glance, there is no golden color."

Wang Le said, smiling: "This winter, we can't be idle. Dig the ditches and build the weirs, store water in the rainy season, and release water in the dry season. Then this place will ensure the harvest of drought and flood."

Pang Qiu, who is responsible for dispatching supplies, interrupted: "A few years have passed, and the fields have become mature. We can eat white rice every day all year round!"

"That's right, but you have to work hard!" Wu Xiang said loudly, "According to the plan, you can't make any mistakes."

Everyone gathered together to study the "construction plan".

This wasteland has a large range and is a land reclamation area designated by Li Li. Although the terrain is relatively flat, it is a bit troublesome to irrigate because only a small river passes through the middle.

Therefore, many ditches need to be excavated, with rivers as the main branches and each ditches as branches, so that most of the land can be irrigated as much as possible.

It is also necessary to build dams in some recesses to store water and form ponds, and if necessary, it can also irrigate the surrounding land.

Then, the land reclamation, digging of ditches, building dams and storing water must be carried out at the same time. To this end, Wuxiang organized a team of tens of thousands of people to develop this large wasteland.

So many people need to be organized, it is impossible to do it with just one or two people.

So, according to Li Li's arrangement, Wu Xiang mobilized the Li family's army, the former county magistrates, and the veterans of the official camp under Li Li, and organized a land reclamation team according to the military's arrogance.

"Generals at all levels" lead their respective "soldiers" to carry out different divisions of labor and cooperation according to unified arrangements. Some teams are responsible for "fighting", and some teams are responsible for logistics and material transfer and dispatch.

The tens of thousands of people, led by veterans who have experienced the tempering of war, gradually reclaimed a large area of ​​wasteland into farmland in an orderly manner according to the "construction plan".

Then, except for the young and strong hired, everyone else can share the land.

Among these people were the villagers of Baishi Village and many fishermen along the lakeside villages who followed the Zhuzhou Bureau to fish.

There were teenagers who gathered in the workshop on the East River Bank of Baishi Village, guards and workshop staff;

There were Yuliang officials and relatives and friends of the county party committee who followed Li Li to catch fish and raise fish, Li Li's troops, and several groups of soldiers recruited by Li Li in Jiankang.

The number of these people alone is close to 20,000. For various reasons, I followed Li Li and then built a new home here with full of longing.

Because they can divide the land, everyone is full of energy. From the beginning of the year to now, they have cultivated this large wasteland to its original form.

After working hard for three or five years, this place is a large area of ​​farmland connected by fields. In autumn, you can see that the ground is golden, every family has enough food and clothing, and the warehouse is full of food and food.

Previously, at Li Li's request, the court canceled the Pearl Service in Poyang County. Wu Xiang lost his official position, but he was unable to rest. As Li Li's left arm and right arm, he led his team to open up the land.

As long as there is land, people's hearts will stabilize. According to Li Li, that is, "those who have constant property have perseverance." More than 20,000 people took root here with Li Li and continued to reclaim surrounding wasteland.

"At that time, every family will live in a large tiled house, and each family will have at least three months of food storage to survive the spring famine."

Wu Xiang said with a smile, repeating what Li Li said back then: "In the New Year, there is a chicken and a big fish in every cauldron, and everyone can change into a new dress!"

No one questioned this passage. Looking at the endless wasteland in front of us, everyone was imagining the spectacular scene of rice and wheat ripening.

In Poyang County, not only Li Li was organizing land reclamation, but many large households also organized manpower and material resources to clear land reclamation. The locals could not defend themselves, so they hired laborers from other places.

Due to the convenient transportation, there were many landless people in Yuzhang County and Xunyang County who were recruited by merchants and rushed into Poyang County and rushed to the coastal areas of the north and south Pohui River.

A large number of fields appeared in the North and South Po River Basins, and a large number of young and strong people would settle in these newly reclaimed places. It would take three or five years to live.

Even if these fields and populations are not registered in the government for various reasons, the actual grain output and settled population are a huge capital.

Wu Xiang thought about it, full of confidence.

If you have land, you have food. With food, you can gather a large number of people to settle down. If you have food and someone, everything will be easy to do.
