    Yuan Hao said: "The materials for party immigration are simple. Whether you have them or not, you can get whatever materials you want. However, the materials for the three chieftains are a little more difficult. You need to wait until the three tribes come down from the mountain before you can start."

    Zhao Ran nodded and said: "I have an idea. As a Taoist sect of the Zongsheng Hall, I want to understand the world and the people, so I entrusted the White Horse Court to publish a journal"

    "Journal?"

    "Well, it is a regular newspaper. In addition to announcing the decrees of the White Horse Court, it can also publish some cases that the common people like to hear, legends, historical stories, Taoist scriptures, anecdotes, etc."

    Yuan Hao hesitated and said: "But there are not many literate people in Hongyuan, and there are no gentry families. Last year in the Sichuan Provincial Examination, not even a single person passed the exam in the entire Songfan. I was afraid that no one would look after it. The abbot also knows this.  , every time a government decree is issued in our Taoist temple, it is posted on the white wall at the entrance, and the Taoist priest of Dianzao yuan explains it on the spot."

    Zhao Ran said: "So this journal must be written in vernacular. It does not require much knowledge. Anyone who has read "Thousand Character Classic" and "Three Character Classic" can understand it. Furthermore, this is also a way to cultivate me as a Hongyuan scholar.  A promotion. In addition to distributing it to Songfan, we can also distribute it to the whole province. If the whole province is not enough, we can even distribute it to Xingqing. As far as I know, Xixia people still like to read leisure books."

    "Sold to Xixia?"

    "Yes, promote the prosperity and wealth of our Ming Dynasty in the legendary story!"

    Yuan Hao¡¯s eyes immediately lit up: ¡°Preach the meaning and thoughts of my Taoism!¡±

    Zhao Ran quickly shook his head: "Don't panic about this. If you are too eager, you will be banned. Just take your time."

    Yuan Hao nodded, and then thought: "I am afraid that there are not enough financial resources and insufficient manpower"

    "Don't worry about this. The editor of this journal is posted in the number room. There are not many people in the number room now. The editorial department will compile it for five fire workers. I will find a way to compile it. I will go to Tianhe Palace to compile it later.  , Our Hongyuan staff is too small. Baima Yuan is a Taoist temple and an official government, but the staff is the same as Guishou Yuan in Xiaohe County, with one less person from the county government. Is this ridiculous? We must expand it this year!"

    Yuan Hao was overjoyed: "We all look up to the abbot! The abbot will do his best to solve these big things. Just leave the small things to me. By the way, what should the name of this journal be? Please give it to the abbot."

    "It's called "Junshan Notes - Secular Edition"."

    After sending Yuan Hao out of the study, Zhao Ran picked through a pile of black materials and finally finalized a record of the Xia Army's military meeting in May of the 19th year of Jiajing. It was about the Xia Army guarding Hulu Pass discussing compensation measures for the late arrival of military rations.  .

    Li Guangxian, the commander-in-chief of Hulu Pass who presided over the military meeting and the inspection envoy of the Southeast Military Supervisory Department, was very distressed. The Baima Mountain camp was in a hurry to destroy the food supply, but there was not enough food in the pass. The military food that should have been delivered seven days ago had not arrived. What happened?  Dealing with it is a big problem facing Li Guangxian.

    The result of the military discussion was to send a hundred sergeants to remove their military uniforms and armor, pretend to be bandits, and go to Qiqiong Village to steal food.

    Zhao Ran heard that Li Guangxian successfully escaped when Hulu Pass was breached and is still serving in the rebuilt Southeast Military Supervisory Department.  This gentleman's surname is Li, and he is a member of the Tuoba family, but it is obvious that he has not penetrated into the inner core circle of the royal family, otherwise he would not be just a governor.

    He was very polite to Zhao Ran, the Cheng Dong family. When Zhao Ran returned to the Ming Dynasty, he was also very courteous and showed many smiling faces. Zhao Ran had a pretty good impression of him.  But now, Zhao Ran could only silently apologize to this man.

    When Zhao Ran came back from Xixia, he reported to Dongfang Li that Princess Rou'an and the back-party faction had asked him for internal information on the White Horse Mountain War. Now that it is being implemented, it is natural that he has to tell it again. Ask for more instructions in everything.  Report, this is definitely not wrong.

    After reading the materials he was going to send, Dongfang Li replied: "It can be sent." and asked Zhao Ran whether it would become the norm in the future and how much materials he still had to send.  After getting Zhao Ran's reply, Dongfang Li asked him to review it every time before sending out materials.  Zhao Ran had no doubt about this.

    After sorting out this record, Zhao Ran sent it to Bai Geng with a flying talisman, and told Bai Geng: "Sell the text to the owner of Jinbo Club, and let them exchange for two hundred Han slaves."

    Bai Geng quickly replied: "Guard Envoy, isn't it good to do this? Selling information is a serious crime."

    Zhao Ran replied: "Don't worry, can I still hurt you?"

    Zhao Ran didn¡¯t know how many Han slaves there were in Xixia, but he estimated that in the Battle of Baima Mountain alone, the Xixia people captured no less than 100,000 Han people, prisoners of war, etc.  After the Ming army won the great victory at Baima Mountain, they conducted a large-scale prisoner exchange with Xixia. In that prisoner exchange alone, nearly ten thousand Ming troops were exchanged.This is evident from the large number of them in Xia.

    By the end of August, both the western and northern lines had been completed, and the passage from Hongyuan to Yueliangdu and Chewa Valley was opened, and trucks transporting supplies could travel between the two places efficiently.

    No matter where you are, the autumn harvest is the most important thing. As the autumn harvest is approaching, the western and northern line projects have been completed. The recruited people were dismissed by the White Horse Court and rushed back to the fields. They were almost ready to take care of them.  of crops.

    When Zhao Ran came to Hongyuan, he also brought over the rural mutual aid cooperation group that had been well-established in Guyang County. Each group formed a mutual aid group to ensure that they could concentrate on working during busy farming periods.  This measure played a great role last year in ensuring the successful completion of the autumn harvest, so farmers are very confident in this year's autumn harvest.

    Because the southern line project is long and Zhao Ran deliberately did not use too many demon cultivators, only one-fifth of it has been completed so far, but it also faces the problem of labor being diverted to harvest crops.

    The big and small people of the three tribes, mainly the Qionghe tribe, came to the small street at the foot of Haizi Mountain to discuss the matter of these strong laborers with Baozhong. On the one hand, they wanted to transfer the tribesmen back to the mountains to harvest crops, and on the other hand, they wanted to  To keep the positions that would continue to export labor after the autumn harvest, they had a fierce bargaining session with Baozhong.

    Baimayuan has already figured out the existing system of the three ministries in the past few months of contact. For most of the lower-level tribesmen, although they have escaped the fate of being slaves to the party members, their way of life is actually not the same.  There is no fundamental improvement, and we are still slaves to the leaders.

    Therefore, after receiving the report from Baozhong, both Yuan Hao and Lei Shan keenly felt that this might be an opportunity and came to see Zhao Ran together.

    They devised a simple method to see if their efforts over the past few months had any effect.

    Lei Shan said: "Anyway, after these tribesmen go back, the crops they harvest are not their own. Maybe as long as we raise wages, we can attract some of them to stay. In this way, maybe a rift will occur."

    Yuan Hao sneered: "It's not maybe, but it has happened a long time ago. The civilians on the western and northern fronts can get ten coins a day, but they can only get half. They were not dissatisfied at the beginning. After all, it would be good if they could get it, but continuously  After more than two months, many people have complained. In the restaurants on the small streets, there are many tribesmen who drank too much and cursed their leaders. There are people cursing their mothers every day. The leaders don't do any work at all.  If twelve cents can be taken away from everyone's head, no one will feel comfortable."

    Lei Shan sighed: "They used to work for the party members, and later they worked for their own leaders. There was nowhere to get paid. At that time, they didn't hear any complaints. Now that they are paid, they can buy things for their homes. On the contrary,  I¡¯m starting to complain, people¡¯s hearts¡­¡±
