    "Tuanzuo, apart from the grains left for Old Man Feng for sowing, the rest have been transported to Farm No. 2." In November in Sichuan, the temperature has dropped, and Guo Qun rode all the way to Qi*  Jiang County.  A few puffs of white breath came out of his mouth.  Taking off the military cap on his head, his tone was a little uneven.

    "Don't worry, have a sip of tea." Xu Weidao.

    "Thank you." Guo Qun quickly took the hot tea from Wang Congyun. Because he had attended a private school for several years, he could calculate accounts and write, and he was more attentive. When Xu Wei finished suppressing the bandits and led his troops back to the city, he  Guo Qun was left to manage the trivial affairs of several farms. Although he was a little tired from traveling back and forth, Guo Qun also came out to serve as a soldier because his family was in dire straits to reduce the burden on his family. It was difficult for him to be assigned to specific tasks by Xu Wei, even if  Guo Qun was happy to feel tired. He still had a few warm silver coins in his pocket. When he finished what he was doing, he asked someone to take them back.  "The leader is so anxious to call Beizhi here. What are your orders?"

    "How is the process at Farm No. 2?" Xu Wei asked.

    "The millet has already been transported. In addition, we have set fire to the weeds on the farm and cut down the trees. It will only take some time to dig out the irrigation ditches. It is expected to be next year." Guo Qun said cautiously.  "Unless manpower is transferred from Farm No. 1."

    "Deploy manpower from Farm No. 1?" Xu Wei frowned, then shook his head, "No, Farm No. 1 is given to the garrison, and cannot be dragged behind Farm No. 2."

    At this time, Zhou Jun is still Xu Wei¡¯s immediate boss, and the mixed group is still just an empty shell. Xu Wei doesn¡¯t want this to affect Zhou Jun¡¯s perception of him.

    "I'll figure out a way to deal with manpower. If it doesn't work, I'll use as much as I can cultivate." Xu Weidao.  "Besides, please put aside the matters on the farm first."

    "Yes, it all depends on the order of the leader." Guo Qun was shocked, thinking that he had done something wrong. Xu Wei took back the job that he finally got, and he felt a little bit reluctant to give up.

    "You did a good job on the farm, and now I have a new job for you." The farm has gone from blank to now on the right track. Guo Qun has played an important role in purchasing and transporting the farm's grain, farm tools, and cattle, and managing the captives.  There was no trouble during the defeat, which made Xu Wei quite recognized Guo Qun's ability.  "Due to the war in Jiangjin and Qijiang counties, not only farmers, but also the county treasury has little food. This winter has been difficult. Both counties are short of food. I have another nearly two thousand yuan in income every month. This money means  No matter how many, you can always save a few people, you have to think of a way to save this person."

    "Tuanzuo, I think that in order to save the hungry people in the two counties, the food needs to be transported separately. The terrain is different, and the matter is too trivial. It is better to let the political officials of the two counties publicize the matter of Tuanzuo's reclamation of the farm to the following.  The hungry people know about it. The purchased grain is transported directly to the farm. If the hungry people want to get the food, they have to work for the farm." Guo Qun suggested.

    "It's a good idea. Let's do it like this." Xu Weidao said, even if someone is going to starve to death, he can't be a bad person. It will undoubtedly be better if he can not only rescue the victims, but also completely handle the farm affairs.  "By the way, there's something else you need to do."

    "Please give me your instructions, leader!" Guo Qun said.

    "Separate some of those rice seeds, buy some paddy fields in different places in Qi*jiang and Jiangjin counties, and plant them next spring." Xu Weidao.  "I guess the reason why Mr. Feng's rice has a high yield is because they always use their own seeds."

    Guo Qun nodded in agreement. Although he didn't understand the reason, as long as those wastelands could be turned into fertile farmland, it would be considered a huge profit. Whether Xu Wei's guess was correct or not, it didn't matter.

    Xu Wei¡¯s idea is completely opposite to Guo Qun¡¯s. If the rice grown on the farm is not a high-yield variety, it is really meaningless to make some money from farming. He is also a time traveler after all, so he can¡¯t do so badly.

    Xu Wei went out and rode his thorny red mount towards the county government.

    At this time, many horses were parked in front of the county government, as well as some more luxuriously decorated carriages.  The Qi*jiang County Government is a county government left over from the former Qing Dynasty. The past two years have been uneven, with wars and wars, and the county has been in deficit year after year. Naturally, it has no money to add any new facilities.  However, as the county government of Qi*jiang, it still looks a bit grand compared to other low-rise buildings.

    "Here comes Commander Xu, Commander Xu is here."

    "It's true that a hero comes from a young age. He actually became the leader of a regiment at such a young age. He is older than the county magistrate. It will be amazing in the future."

    "Who says it's not the case? He is highly regarded by the garrison commander. He was promoted to regimental commander after only a little more than a month as battalion commander."

    This regiment leader is basically a parallel import. If it weren¡¯t for Zhang Huaiyuan¡¯s battalion sent by Zhou Jun, Xu Wei¡¯s current strength would only be that of a battalion commander.

    "Commander Xu, all the well-known wealthy businessmen from the two counties have been called over." Zhang Xixuan?? came to Xu Wei's side and whispered.

    Xu Wei nodded and walked into the county government. He looked at the various people sitting on long wooden benches and said with a smile, "This year has been a troubled year for Chongqing. Wars have been fought and stopped, and food has been requisitioned again and again.  , many farmers don¡¯t have much food left in their homes. The guardian envoy sent me here to solve the problem between the two counties."

    Hearing that Xu Wei wanted money and food, the people below all looked bitter, "Captain Xu, it's not that we don't want to help, it's true that farmers have had their food requisitioned, and we can't avoid it either.  The revolutionary army and the Guizhou army conquered once, and all our old foundations were hollowed out."

    Some people complained, and others echoed.

    "I have suppressed bandits in Shilin Town and Heishan Town. You also know that if I didn't encounter any real difficulties, I would not speak to you. Of course, asking you to help the hungry people for free is obviously a difficult task. Let's do it.  There are still several pieces of wasteland that can be turned into fertile farmland as long as they are reclaimed. You pay and provide food and let the hungry people help you work. The reclaimed farmland belongs to you. Of course, the taxes in the first three years will be slightly higher by 30%.  After the first three years, taxes will return to normal." Xu Weidao.

    "Does Captain Xu really mean what he said?" The businessmen present all said with joy. The importance that people of this era placed on farmland is far beyond the understanding of future generations.  It is not just a matter of relieving the hungry people for nothing, but it can be exchanged for farmland. Even if the cost in the first three years is several percent higher, and it may take two years to recover the money, as long as the farmland is obtained, it is a profit.

    "Of course I take it seriously. If the guard entrusts these two counties to me, there won't be any trouble. Whoever is willing to help at this time will naturally give priority to whatever the county needs in the future."
