    Hearing Zhao Ran talk about the fields, Ning Deshou explained: "It used to be cultivated land, but now we are facing the Xia army across the river. No people are allowed within five miles of the shore, in case the other side has an opportunity to take advantage. In the past, there were several along the coast.  The villages were all demolished by the army.¡±

    Zhao Ran asked: "Old Ning, to be honest, I feel very sad that the cultivated land is abandoned. The total arable land in Hongyuan is only more than 50,000 acres, and you have abandoned less than half of it. As the abbot of Baimayuan, I  , unable to watch and remain indifferent.¡±

    Ning Deshou was silent for a moment and said: "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

    Zhao Ran said: "Do we need to ban the river for five miles? Lao Ning, these five miles of land just cover the fields that can be cultivated. Five miles away, if there is a lack of water sources and farming is difficult, then it is no longer cultivated land.  It¡¯s more of a pasture.¡±

    Seeing Ning Deshou looking at the river section in silence, knowing that the other party was weighing the matter, he struck while the iron was hot: "Is it okay to ban the river for three miles? It's really not possible, what about three and a half miles? Even four miles, or even four and a half miles? I've seen this land  , if it is four and a half miles of Forbidden River, then the extra half mile of cultivated land can probably get 500 acres. If you give me one mile of cultivated land, I can get 2,500 acres, one mile and a half, I can get 4,000 acres, two miles  , you can get six thousand acres! Lao Ning, half of the remaining cultivated land in Hongyuan is here with you, half in the Chewa Valley, and only a few hundred acres at the other end of Anqu. You have good land here, just give it to me  With 6,000 acres of cultivated land, I can feed 3,000 people!¡±

    Ning Deshou sighed: "This is not a question of one mile or two miles of land. Why was the river banned for five miles in the first place? It was precisely to include these five miles of cultivated land into the forbidden river area. In this way, it can be guaranteed that there will be no one along the river for ten miles.  Down the river.¡±

    Zhao Ran nodded: "Old Ning, do you think this will work? After the refugees moved here, we made two agreements. First, along the river bank, every other mile, I will build you a three-foot-high sentry.  The tower, with the farmers stationed in the sentry tower, can at least save you the pain of running around patrolling the river every day."

    Ning Deshou immediately said happily: "This is what I have always wanted to do, but the military resources are scarce and it is impossible to afford to build dozens of sentry towers. There are no big trees in this area, and all the nearby trees have been cut down to build the military camp.  Already"

    Zhao Ran said: "It doesn't matter. There are many trees in my Maharaja Mountain. I will figure out a way to transport the wood."

    "What about the second one?"

    "Secondly, the farmland released will be exempted from land tax in the first year, and one and a half dou will be harvested in the second year. After the third year, three dou will be collected every year. No matter how much is harvested, each acre of Baimayuan's land will supply the garrison with one dou of military rations every year.  These military rations are not accounted for in our White Horse Courtyard. They are counted as a reduction in the quota and are distributed by you, Lao Ning! When will the garrison be abolished? When will it be over? If you, Lao Ning, have been stationed here at the garrison for ten years,  Let¡¯s divide it for ten years and we will never give you any scorn!¡±

    Ning Deshou¡¯s eyelids twitched: ¡°Seriously?¡±

    ¡°Can there still be a holiday?¡±

    "However, the military order the abbot also knows that there are many things that I cannot afford, and I still have to give my approval"

    This matter needs to go through the normal process. I don¡¯t know how long it will be delayed. It may even be shelved by layers of procedures during the reporting process. After all, there are not many people who dare to take responsibility, so Zhao Ran said: "In name, you are the one in the army."  Recruited farmers! If there are soldiers and family members in your army who are willing to come, they will also be granted land. If there are those who have married locally, they will do the same! While plowing the fields, they will guard the river for you. This is an integrated farming and fighting unit, called the Farming Corps."

    Ning Deshou took a deep breath, walked back and forth on the river, looked repeatedly, and finally made up his mind.

    "Abbot Zhao, if Baimayuan can meet the two conditions you promised, I can agree to ban the river for three miles and give up two miles of land to Baimayuan."

    "Then it's settled!"

    Zhao Ran was very happy to have obtained 6,000 acres of cultivated land. With the turnover of these cultivated lands, his great project of relocating refugees could be officially launched.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????]

    Ning Deshou took Zhao Ran to the place where these Han people were resettled. This place was about a mile away from the military camp. More than ten tents were set up alone, and a low wall was built with mounds of earth. The wall was just waist-high, which just prevented the sheep.  Herds and cattle escape.

    For more than two months, sixty-three redeemed Han people have lived and raised here. When Zhao Ran came over, he looked at each one and saw that the faces of these people had regained their vitality and their bodies were much stronger than before.  .

    This is a pasture, and it has already entered winter, but there are neat stacks of hay stacks in the camp. The cattle and sheep that Zhao Ran bought from Xixia are all huddled together in the fence supported by the earth wall to keep warm. They are taken care of very carefully.  .

    Ning Deshou sighed: "These people are indeed veterans who have been herding in Xixia for ten years. Many cattle and sheep in my camp are??Take care of them and raise them very well.  "

    Zhao Ran expressed his thanks: "In the past two months, we have consumed a lot of food in the army, right? Thank you Lao Ning."

    Ning Deshou waved his hand: "It's just more than sixty mouths, and I can squeeze out some food in my camp. What are your next steps for these people? Can you just let them settle here? This pasture is still very rich.  , it¡¯s not a problem to raise thousands of cattle and sheep, and it can also supply beef, mutton, milk, um, skins, muscles and bones for my army.¡±

    Zhao Ran agreed: "Okay, let's do it like this. I'll ask Dian Zao Yuan to come over and register them for naturalization later."

    At the banquet to reward the troops that night, Zhao Ran sat down with Pei Zhongze again, and the two talked to each other about what had happened after more than two months of separation.  Pei Zhongze was not very interested in Zhao Ran's governance in the White Horse Courtyard. Zhao Ran briefly mentioned it and explained it in a few words. He was very interested in the battle formation weapons that Pei Zhongze was tinkering with.

    Pei Zhongze mainly introduced some large-scale magic weapons used in military battles, such as the Talisman Ballista. One hit from this ballistae can send Buddhist novice monks directly to the west. Even if they are monks, they have to  Seriously injured, the power is really amazing, but it requires two third-level spirit-gathering talismans to be sent out, which costs almost more than one hundred taels of silver, which is really too expensive.

    There is also a Five Elements Spirit Shield, which after being filled with the Spirit Gathering Talisman, can be opened into a huge Five Elements Shield Wall five feet high and ten feet wide, which can withstand the full attack of monks at the top of the Arhat Realm.

    In addition, Pei Zhongze is also in charge of many fourth-level and fifth-level talismans, such as the Five Nights Divine Thunder Talisman that the two of them had obtained by chance before. These are all great weapons in the battle formation.

    Zhao Ran originally planned to see the effect, but after knowing the cost, he had no choice but to give up.  At a glance, it was worth a few hundred taels of silver, which he looked down upon even with his wealth.

    From this, Zhao Ran also had a better understanding of Zongguan's wealth collection. In this world, don't blame the Taoist sect for taxing. If we don't gather a lot of wealth, can we withstand the cost of conquest on the battlefield?

    After returning from Hongyuan garrison, Zhao Ran sent a flying talisman to his second senior brother Yu Zhichuan: "Senior brother, it will be New Year's Eve in a few days. Will you come back to celebrate the New Year?"

    Soon, Yu Zhichuan replied: "I won't go back for the time being. The teacher asked you to look after me more and don't let Mr. Sun and the others be wronged."

    They are a bunch of irresponsible masters and apprentices. In the final analysis, they are just enjoying their time in Fujian, and their original enthusiasm for building a homeland has been exhausted. They don¡¯t want to come back to work.

    Zhao Ran thought for a while, and took advantage of the fact that there were still two days before Zhengdan, so he had some time to spare, so he hurried back to Dajun Mountain.
