    (Thank you book friend Zongheng Tianxia for having me, I am so lucky to reward him)

    "Mr. Battalion Commander, Mr. Battalion Commander, we are forced to do nothing. The President won't let us serve as soldiers. When we go back, we can only add food to the family and consume food. If we don't rob, we will starve to death."

    "That's right, Mr. Battalion Commander. In the past, even if Captain Wang deducted a lot of money from the army, he could still make a living. But if you don't become a soldier, and you have no skills, you will be bullied by other beggars when you beg on the street"

    "Battle Commander Xu, please spare us this time. Don't dare to do it again."

    Thirty or forty people escaped and dozens were killed. The more than one hundred and thirty prisoners who were captured were sallow and thin, and kept complaining.

    "You are hungry. Will the poor people who have been robbed of food by you be hungry? What will happen to you if your parents are robbed?" Jiang Pingzhi pointed at the prisoners and shouted.

    "Okay, save some energy. I didn't see that the camp leader was thinking about something." Zhou Wu said from the side.

    "What are the camps going to do with these prisoners? Kill them all. It's no good. After all, they are human lives. If we just release them like this, I'm afraid they will do evil again soon. If we leave them to Master Zhou, I'm afraid the prison in Chongqing will be overcrowded."  It can't fit." Xu Shaozeng also had a headache looking at these prisoners.

    "Fu Guo, what do you think of opening up wasteland?" Xu Wei said after being silent for a while.

    "Opening up wasteland?" Xu Shaozeng was stunned.

    "Yes." Xu Wei nodded, "Although there is not enough land for cultivation, there is a lot of wasteland in Chongqing. In the past, the war was in chaos, and the landlords were evil, so ordinary people couldn't open up wasteland. We don't have so many scruples about opening up wasteland.  A piece of wasteland is just a good place for these prisoners to do something. Otherwise, no one can afford to keep them with nothing."

    "It's a good idea, but it will take a long time and a lot of money to wait until the wasteland is cleared, then grow food from the ground, and now rush to plant some winter vegetables. Can Mr. Zhou agree to the camp?"  How to do it?" Xu Shaozeng said hesitantly.

    "Of course I'll pay for it," Xu Weidao said.  "This matter has been settled. We will increase the intensity of suppressing the bandits and instruct the soldiers to pay attention to the wasteland that can be reclaimed. It is best to be surrounded by mountains and there should be no rice fields nearby."

    "Is there still such a request?" Xu Shaozeng was stunned.

    "Yes, it's a personal preference. I don't like others to see my land." Xu Wei can't explain the problem of pollen fertilization to Xu Shaozeng now, so he can only make a long story short.  Xu Wei wants to find a rice seed production base.  As long as Old Man Feng's seeds can really produce a yield of more than three hundred kilograms per mu, Xu Wei will own a golden mountain.  Moreover, the increase in grain production during the Republic of China could fundamentally release excess labor on the land and promote the development of industry and commerce.

    Xu Shaozeng smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, anyway, you are paying for the camp, and you can do whatever the camp says."

    "Shut up, everyone!" Xu Wei stood in front of the prisoners and shouted loudly.

    Immediately, the scene that had been ridiculing just now became silent. Xu Wei had absolute prestige in the eyes of his subordinates. To these prisoners, he was simply an inhuman existence. They only saw a man on the cliff that day.  Later, I heard from these soldiers that it was Xu Wei who climbed up the cliff. He climbed up the cliff with his bare hands and shot several of their officers to death from a distance of four to five hundred meters. The prisoners could not help but be afraid of Xu Wei.

    "You said you can't be a soldier. Without military service, you won't have food to eat, right?"

    "Yes, yes, Battalion Commander Xu!" the prisoners said with some fear.

    "Okay, now I'll give you a chance. As long as you can do what I told you, I will give you food!"

    "Please give me some instructions from Battalion Commander Xu!"

    "As long as Xu Yingzhang appreciates the food, I am willing to die for Xu Yingchang!" Xu Wei broke Xu Huansheng's leg for Zheng Qing before. Some of them could have witnessed it with their own eyes. They had all been in Chongqing for a long time and did not see it.  , also heard about it.  Xu Wei was willing to take them in and take care of their stomachs, which was of course the best thing. Happiness came so suddenly, and they temporarily forgot about their fear of Xu Wei.

    "Okay, then I will give you a chance to start a new life! As long as you keep working, I guarantee you that after working for a few years, each of you will have a few acres of land and build a house. As for whether you can marry a wife,  It all depends on your own abilities. Labor and capital can give you houses and land, but they can¡¯t give you a girl!¡±

    Xu Wei looked at these prisoners with bright eyes and roaring laughter, "But the ugly words are ahead. If anyone dares to make trouble with me later, don't blame me for not warning you in advance when swords and axes are thrown at you."

    "Don't worry, Battalion Commander Xu, as long as you can give us something to stutter, whoever dares to repay kindness with hatred, I, Qi Dazheng, will be the first to let him go!"

    ¡°Yes, if you dare to disobey, we will be the first to give him a good look!¡±

    During the Republic of China, noWith a population of more than 400 million, Outer Mongolia has not been separated at this time. It is scattered over tens of millions of square kilometers of land. It is vast and sparsely populated.  The allusion that Beidahuang was reclaimed into Beidacang also shows that there was still room for excavation on the land at this time.

    Xu Wei ordered his men to step up their efforts to suppress the bandits, and he personally led his guards across mountains and rivers to find an ideal rice seed breeding base.

    "However, we searched a lot in the wasteland, but none of them satisfied Xu Wei.  With no other choice, Xu Wei asked the captives to become tenant farmers and reclaim wasteland in the weeds near a river.  To this end, Xu Wei also bought two cattle at a high price, so that the wood for building the house could be cut down directly on the mountain.

    Within a few days, these people built several simple houses and reclaimed a large piece of farmland, because it was past the farming season.  I only had time to plant some vegetables, which was better than nothing.  In addition, Xu Wei also invited some masons to come over. In addition to building houses for these prisoners, there were also some buildings such as pig pens.

    The weather in October has gradually turned colder, so Xu Wei took refuge in Zhou Jun. In addition to wanting to prove his abilities to Zhou Jun, Xu Wei also wanted to use this bandit suppression to improve the combat effectiveness of his soldiers.  Training is just training after all, and actual combat is the best way to improve combat effectiveness.

    "After the camp was wiped out and attacked, all the defeated troops in the nearby area came to join us." Xu Shaozeng said.

    "A lot of money was spread out, but it has some effect after all." Xu Wei said with a smile.  Given a choice, most people don't want to go up the mountain and become bandits.

    "Campus, Miss Zeng came to see you and said that there is a letter coming from Shanghai." Wang Congyun ran over and winked at Xu Wei.  "Battle seat, the Miss Zeng family is pretty good. Seeing that she is also interested in you, you can marry her and be the wife of the battalion commander."

    Xu Shaozeng also smiled and said, "There are three unworthy men, and having no heirs is the most important. Ying Zuo, it's time for you to marry a wife. You are a lonely person, we can't rush to get ahead of Ying Zuo."

    "Get your ass off, do you need to worry about my affairs?" Xu Wei scolded with a smile, got on his horse and galloped towards the town.
