    "Which pieces of land have you chosen?" Xu Wei asked casually.  "How big is it?"

    As soon as He Renkang heard that there was a door, he immediately said, "There are three pieces, two of them are six or seven hundred acres, and the other one is slightly smaller, two or three hundred acres."

    "So big? Take me to see it first." Xu Wei traveled a lot in this area.  I found a few pieces of several hundred acres.  Unexpectedly, people like He Renkang found hundreds of acres of land at once.  After all, he is a local snake who has been living in the local area for decades.

    "Don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who turns his back on others." Xu Wei said again, seeing a little hesitation in the corner of He Renkang's eyes.

    "No way, Battalion Commander Xu can make this area stable and stable, and avoid the pain of being defeated by defeated troops. The left side is just some wasteland. It should be given to Commander Xu." He Renkang said.

    Xu Wei waved his hand and said, "If you eat alone, you will be punished by heaven. Let's go and take a look first."

    Calling Zeng Yi, Xu Wei mounted his horse and rushed towards the wasteland with He Renkang.  The first one is near an open river. Because it is too close to the river and there is no dam nearby, the wetland is often flooded. However, a good field should be cultivated on the nearby higher ground.

    But this is not Xu Wei¡¯s ideal place.

    The sound of horse hooves sounded on the uneven ground.

    The strong horse hooves stepped on the fallen leaves on the ground, looking at the golden autumn colors everywhere, my whole heart felt much more open-minded.

    "Roar!" A wild roar came from the mountain forest. He Renkang's expression changed, but he quickly came back to his senses. There were soldiers with guns around him. How could he be afraid of a tiger.

    "Herod" The man was not afraid, but the horses under him were greatly frightened and stood up in a manic manner.

    "Oh" Zeng Yi, who was sitting quietly on the horse, turned pale. She could only ride a docile horse, but she had no strength to suppress the horse under her, so she threw herself to the ground.

    Xu Wei secretly screamed something bad, and hurriedly jumped out from the horse, took Zeng Yi's hand and moved it into his arms, and a soft and slightly fragrant body fell into his arms.  Before he could feel this alluring body, Xu Wei's back was hit hard against the hard rocky ground.

    "Brother Xu, how are you? Are you okay?" Zeng Yi heard Xu Wei's muffled groan, climbed up quickly, put her hands on Xu Wei's strong chest, and said with a panicked look on her face.

    "I have something to do." Xu Wei grinned and sat up. Just now, his chest was pressed by Zeng Yi's two surprisingly soft breasts. Xu Wei felt an evil fire under his belly. He quickly asked Zeng Yi to sit up and then  You will have to make a fool of yourself if you go down.

    A horse is frightened and will not move until it is pulled. Naturally, it is not suitable for riding.  Fortunately, this place is not too far from the place mentioned by He Renkang.

    When a vast open space surrounded by mountains appeared in front of Xu Wei, Xu Wei was surprised and happy. After suppressing the bandits for so long, Xu Wei personally led his soldiers through mountains and rivers just to find an open space like the one in front of him that could be reclaimed.

    "What do you think of this land, Battalion Commander Xu?" Standing at the foot of the mountain, he looked at the slightly undulating ground in front of him.  There are trees and grass here.  In addition, there is a river passing through, so irrigation is not a problem, and the temperature is no different from other places. There is no problem in reclaiming it for rice fields.

    This is it. It¡¯s really hard to find anywhere, so it¡¯s not a waste of effort to get here.  I had been looking for it for so long but couldn't find it, but He Renkang showed up.

    This is a wasteland that is usually in chaos. He Renkang and some landowners did not think about it at all.  Moreover, they, the wealthy gentry households in the towns, have at most a few long-term workers in their families. Even if they recruit a few short-term workers, they will definitely not be able to cultivate large areas of wasteland. Ordinary poor people do not have the time. Even if they cultivate land, they will be destroyed by the people below.  The officials took it away.  Only this time, Xu Wei took hundreds of prisoners of the defeated army and bought a lot of cattle and horses, which made this matter feasible.

    "Who discovered this land?" Xu Wei asked.

    "It's He." He Renkang said. In fact, he was a cousin of He Renkang, but He Renkang could make the decision.

    "Now I have two pieces of wasteland that have been reclaimed to a small extent. One of them is more than 500 acres. I can give you half of the income. How about leaving this piece of land to me?" Xu Weidao.

    "Okay, it's useless for me to keep this land in my hands. Since Commander Xu likes it, what if I give it to Commander Xu?" He Renkang said generously. In fact, it was just a wasteland. If it weren't for the defeated soldiers under Xu Wei's hands,  Bing, he alone can't cultivate it, and even if he is the mayor, he can't let the people work for free.  Since Xu Wei has come up with the conditions of exchange, it is better to just go with the flow.  Give it to Xu Wei as a favor.  Anyway, there are two small pieces at the back. Xu Wei asked for them once, but he would be embarrassed to go alone later.

    The rice seed base is finally established.Looking at the flat land in front of him, Xu Wei was in a good mood.  In autumn, when the wild animals in the mountains were growing fat, Xu Wei led a few guards to hunt down a few hares and deer, set up wooden branches and began to barbecue.

    In the afternoon, Xu Wei asked people to bring more than 150 of the original prisoners and bought a few cattle.  Start cutting down trees and hoeing grass around the area to create an isolation zone.  After the isolation belt is completed, you can set fire to burn the weeds and dead wood into ashes. This not only saves time, but the remaining ashes can also be used as fertilizer.

    "Come here, come here!" An old man in a long gown stood on the unshaped ridge of the field and shouted to the people who were reclaiming the land.

    "What's the matter? Manager Liu." Liu Runnian was originally a villager in Heishan Town. Later, his son and daughter-in-law died in a military accident, and he was left alone with his grandson. Although he was still diligent, he was getting older and could not farm anymore.  .  Hearing that Xu Wei was reclaiming wasteland here, he came to have a look with luck.  Since they had spent some time together in Huojian Mountain, they knew many of Xu Wei's soldiers, and because they knew a few words, they were arranged to take care of these prisoners.

    "What a great joy. Camp Commander Xu is so kind-hearted. From now on, following Camp Commander Xu, all of you can have a full stomach. If you work harder, save some money, and you can marry a wife from somewhere else." Liu Runnian raised the hand in his hand.  A piece of white paper said, "Everyone who can read, come here and let me see it. Those who can't read, please stand aside."

    "Manager Liu, just read it. How can we rough guys know big characters?"

    "Okay, then I'll read it."

    "Battle Commander Xu said that opportunities are reserved for those who work hard. Whoever works hard will get more benefits. Except for the rent payable, Commander Xu will buy all the millet at market prices."  ."

    "What? Battalion Commander Xu really wants to rent all these fields to us? Just charge us rent?" As for the remaining grain, although Xu Wei paid for it all, which makes people feel a little strange, but as long as he has the money,  The rations can be bought back, and Xu Wei still has to take care of food and shelter in the first year.

    "Of course it's true. You don't want to ask around. When Battalion Commander Xu was in Huojianshan and Chongqing, what he said was just like water thrown out. He always reneged on his word."

    ¡°Besides, Battalion Commander Xu said that as long as you don¡¯t make any mistakes and are willing to keep planting, the fields will be rented to you forever. This is a written pledge from Battalion Commander Xu. Whoever accepts it can come and sign a pledge!¡±

    "I'm coming, I'm coming!"

    "Long live Commander Xu!"

    Looking at the scrambling scene at the foot of the mountain, Xu Wei's eyes were calm. If he only gave these prisoners food and shelter, they might be very active in doing things when they were worried about their situation at first, but once they got over that energy,  You will become lazy.  Now that the land contracting system of later generations has been transferred to the present, the land is rented to them for farming. The more they work, the more they get. They work hard for themselves, so they work hard.  Of course, in the early stage, Xu Weitou went out to open up wasteland, rations, and cattle. These costs must be recovered.
