    "Ahead is Duli Town. If you see the waterway, cross it and you can enter the Duli Sea." Ye Ting pointed to the waterway between the two mountains in the distance with some excitement and shouted. The people following him, "Swipe"  With a beard and a smile on his face, "Uncle Seventeen, I never thought it was you who came in person. If Shi Yilang knew about it, he would definitely be very happy.  "Ye Ting said again. "The person who stroked his beard is named Ye Shu. He is the seventeenth in the Ye family. He is the concubine of the patriarch Ye Dan. His visit this time represents Ye Dan's intention to a certain extent. He comes to see Ye Chang.  Is the new property promised to the Ye family really suitable? Because the goal is approaching, he, who was originally a little seasick, became energetic because of the excitement. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that there is still only one forest?  " "Although it is just a piece of woodland, in the ten days since our last visit, Shiyilang and I have traveled around and found that there are quite a lot of wastelands. There are large areas of erosion and siltation between the valleys. As long as we have enough manpower, we can  It only takes two or three years of farming to mature the land. Adding in the slopes, it is easy to cover several thousand acres, and there are more than a thousand acres of irrigated land.  "Ye Ting exaggerated: "Moreover, the soil here is fertile. I heard Shi Yilang say that further north, to the Liaohe River, there is even more black soil that can produce oil."  If the clan relocates, half of the people will have to be relocated that's more than 200 people.  "Hearing that there are thousands of acres of cultivated land, Ye Shu calculated in his mind that the Ye family did not control so much land in Wu Zepi. "Actually, it's more than just a few thousand acres. There are fewer people and more land here.  There are thousands of people, and the area under their control is as large as ours in Xiuwu County. We only need to expand to the surrounding areas, not to mention thousands of temples, but tens of thousands of acres.  " Ye Ting knew Ye Chang's intentions, and after following Ye Chang everywhere, his heart became wild. It was absolutely impossible for him to go back to Wu Zepi, Xiuwu, and live on a piece of land that was only about ten acres.  Things happened. The boat crossed the waterway and entered the Duli sea area, where the surrounding area could be seen clearly. Ye Shu turned around and nodded. At least this sea area is not exposed to wind and waves and is a natural harbor, so the Ye family is here.  I¡¯m worried that those fishing families will no longer have a living. ¡°That¡¯s our camp over there?  "He asked again. He seemed to be looking in the direction of Duli, because there were people there, but Duli was slightly northeast, and Ye Ting pointed to the west: "Over there" There are mountains over there, not  It is tall and densely forested. It seems that it is difficult to have large areas of continuous flat land. Ye Shu sighed slightly. If there is no large continuous flat land, it means that the fields will be scattered, which is not satisfactory to us.  The most lacking thing now is manpower. This time, more than 200 people were transported, and they will definitely be put to great use.  "Ye Ting said again. "He was originally going back to Dengzhou to collect supplies, and happened to arrive when Ye Shu led people to Dengzhou, so he brought them over first. In addition to the dozens of Ye family members led by Ye Shu, there were also  There were victims from Luoyang and more than a dozen craftsmen recruited from Dengzhou. As the boat approached the camp, Ye Shu suddenly let out a sigh: "Lao Wu, are you talking about the lack of manpower?"  Ye Ting was also stunned: "Whythere are so many people?"  " I saw that there were at least three to four hundred people in the camp that was originally empty. Now, at least three to four hundred people were busy. The woods that originally extended to the seaside have opened a road that leads directly to the depths of the mountain forest. When Ye Ting and the others left, there were only  Less than an acre of flat land was opened, and now the flat land has spread along the seaside. There is a full five acres of land, which is enough to build a small dock area. After the ship docked at the simple dock, Ye Ting protected Ye Shu and went ashore.  , Ye Chang came up to him with a smile: "I said it took two days, but it turned out that Uncle Seventeen is here." Among Ye Dan and other disciples, Ye Shu is actually very mediocre, but the good thing is that he knows he is mediocre and knows that he is mediocre.  He didn't dare to show off in front of Ye Chang. Although he accepted Ye Chang's courtesy, he immediately helped him up: "Eleventh man, thank you for your hard work. It's the uncles like us who don't make progress, but we want you to be small."  Young is running around, looking for a way out for our Ye family.  " "Uncle Seventeen, if that's the case, my clan takes care of me today. Half of the capable people around me are brothers in our clan.  " After welcoming Ye Shu up, Ye Ting couldn't wait to ask: "Why are there so many people?  " "Oh, I have already captured Duli Town.  "Ye Chang said calmly: "Now the second brother Nan is sitting in the capital, and I am preparing to build a new town here.  "    "What?  "Ye Shu didn't know, but Ye Ting understood: "Duli Town was captured?  " "Exactly.  "How is this possible? You only have ten people who can fight in your hands, Shishiro" "Ten people are enough."  "Ye Chang grinned, finally unable to hide his pride. Ten people captured a small town with two thousand people, which is not a small achievement. Sure enough, after hearing this, Ye Ting opened his mouth wide, and next to him  Wu Dahai and others winked at each other, and they all looked shocked: "I came here on the emperor's order. There are powerful people in this town."He obeyed the emperor's order and not only intended to humiliate me, but also tried to obstruct it, and I killed him on the spot.  "Seeing his uncle Ye Shushang's shocked look, Ye Chang explained. Ye Shu was immediately shocked. He had previously thought that as an official of the Tang Dynasty, it would be nothing to capture a town, but he didn't know that he actually killed people and shed blood.  "Shi1lang, isn't it peaceful here?  " "Whether peace is peaceful or not, it depends on us.  "Ye Chang said vaguely. "Eleventh Lang, please explain it clearly to me. If you don't explain it clearly, I will turn around and return to Wu Ze with my people.  "Although Ye Shu is mediocre, he is not an irresponsible person. Hearing that Ye Chang was perfunctory, Ye Shu lowered his voice and said: "This matter concerns the whole clan, and you are not the only one who can make the decision." "Ah, I am too rude.  .  "Ye Chang was stunned for a moment, knowing that something was wrong. Although the Ye family now regards him as the leader, he cannot be too arrogant. He immediately said: "Liaodong, Han and Hu are mixed together, so it is not without danger.  All the barbarians are jealous of the wealth of the Han people, but as long as we are strong, we can drive and assimilate them, and otherwise we will be bullied by them.  " "The total number of our clan is only over 200. Even if we include the victims you brought from Luoyang, the number is less than 2,000. How can we be considered powerful with this little manpower?  ¡°There are still Han people in the local area. Look, there are 319 people working in our camp now, all of whom are Han people.  "Ye Chang pointed with a smile: "Besides them, there are still 3,774 people in Duli Town, and the total number of Ding men is 1,442" He counted the number of people.  , It was really easy to get it, but Ye Shu was surprised and happy when he heard it. "I also asked people to recruit nearby Han people. As long as they come to invest, according to the imperial system, they will have twenty acres of Yongye land.  However, they also had to contribute one out of every three people to serve in corvee service. Well, they are now serving in corvee service.  " While Ye Chang was talking, he heard a bell suddenly ringing over there, and then everyone who was working put down what they were doing and ran towards a place on the edge of the pier. "Is this?  " "It's time to eat. Nanba shot a wild boar today and it just happened to be delivered. Plus the sea fish, Uncle Qi probably hasn't eaten it yet. Let's take a walk. It just so happens.  " Ye Shu followed Ye Chang to the pier. It turned out to be a large kitchen. People who arrived here were queuing up. Ye Shu found that they were about ten to twelve people in a team. Then there was another person counting the number of people. That person  He stepped forward to take the spoons to add food to everyone, and he was the last one to pick up the bowls. This person should be the leader of the group. Only when a group of people are present can they start eating. If everyone is not present, even if there is only one person missing.  , everyone who is accomplices have to wait. Seeing this scene, Ye Shu nodded secretly, this is the typical Ye Chang style. Ye Chang emphasizes discipline, whether it is when he is in Wu Zepi or in Luoyang.  The discipline requirements for followers are not comparable to those of the army at this time. The food is also very good, including fish, meat, vegetables, and delicacies such as fungus and mushrooms. Ye Shu frowned.  First, although the better-off landowners in the countryside asked their workers to prepare a sumptuous meal before heavy work, it would be too rich. He whispered to Ye Chang, but Ye Chang smiled.  After eating this kind of rice, would you still be willing to go back and eat glutinous rice noodles?  "Ye Chang asked in a low voice. Ye Shu suddenly realized that indeed, these people were nominally "levied as corvees" by Ye Chang, a court official, but in fact they came to work as hired workers, with wages and good food. They were so-called  After the corvee is over, how can they be willing to go back to work in the fields? They will have to work as workers in Ye Chang's hands. By then, the Ye family's main workshop will also be moved here, which will just hire a group of workers.  Shishiro thought further.  " "However, the manpower is still insufficient. Now I am sending six teams to the north to recruit people. All Han family members can apply. Those who come only need to serve for ten months, and they can be assigned twenty acres of land for farming.  In five years, it will become a permanent field and be passed down to descendants.  "Ye Chang said again. "This is" "The homestead order is only implemented in our Lushun.  " " Lushun?  " "Oh, I named the camp Lushun, and this sea is Lushun Bay, just to get a good compliment.  "Ye Chang laughed. "Will this residence order cause trouble?  " "That's inevitable, but I still have an order yet to be issued.  "Ye Chang narrowed his eyes and said. "The Zhaitian Order only recruits scattered Han people, so the shock to the surroundings is not great. Ye Chang also has a big killer weapon in his hand, which is the "Han Slave Abolition Order." In the entire Liaodong, with the Han people  It is illegal to be a slave. From the date of the enforcement of the law, all Han slaves have been freed. According to the information obtained from Shen Xi, the entire Liaodong plus Bohai Kingdom has a population of about four million, of which nearly one-third are Han. These  People will be the target of Ye Chang's efforts in Liaodong, but a lot of them are in difficult situations. Because the Han people are good at farming and manufacturing, they are serfs and craftsmen slaves of various tribes.??They can not only strengthen Ye Chang's own strength, but also deal a heavy blow to the foreign barbarians.  But this is a real killer weapon. Once it is announced, Ye Chang will become the target of public criticism. At least for a short period of time, Ye Chang will not be able to resist the slightly stronger foreign tribes.  "Is the land enough to be divided like this?" "After defeating the Gao family, you will know how many good fields this guy controls." Ye Chang said with a smile: "This time Yongye is divided, a total of 4,880 will be divided.  Four acres, the Gao family's farmland is indeed not enough, but we have surveyed and found that more than 10,000 acres of farmland can be opened nearby" At this time, Lushun has fewer people and more land. It is not like in another life when hundreds of thousands of people were raised. Naturally, there are enough.  Reclaimed wasteland.  It's just that it's difficult for each household to reclaim these wastelands. The only way is to organize people to cultivate them together. ??????????????????????????????????? There are many trees on the mountains nearby, and we can just choose suitable ones for building ships. Ye Chang puts this in a very important position in his heart.  After eating, Ye Chang led Ye Shu up to the highest mountain nearby and pointed out the surroundings. Looking at the area dozens of miles around, Ye Shu nodded repeatedly: Even if two-thirds of it is hills, the rest  The area is also much more cultivated than Wu Zepi's.  When I asked about the climate here, I was even more satisfied when I learned that rice and wheat can be grown, and fruit trees and leaf trees can be grown on those hills.  Although there is no contiguous plain, half of the Ye family can still live together in one place after they relocated. Ye Chang even pointed out the place where the Ye family was going to gather. It was less than two miles away from the camp and followed the ravine.  You can see the valleys on the left and right, with hundreds of acres of paddy fields, more than a thousand acres of irrigated fields and more dry fields.  If you expand further, you can even create thousands of acres of paddy fields.  Although it is raw land, it can be cultivated for three to five years before it becomes mature. After more than ten years, it will be as good as Wu Zepi.  "Eleventh Lang, after I return this time, I will tell my father about the situation here. Don't worry, this is indeed a treasure land. My Ye family will prosper here." Generally speaking, Ye Shu said this with satisfaction.  Ye Changdao: They were standing on the top of the mountain talking. Suddenly, someone rushed over and shouted, "It's a disaster." Ye Chang frowned and saw Ye Ting leading someone to stop the guy.  He was a man sent to the north to recruit refugees. Ye Chang recognized him. His name seemed to be Kong Lingkan, and he claimed to be the queen of the saints.  "What's going on? Let him come closer and talk." Seeing the confusion in Ye Shu's eyes, Ye Chang greeted.  Ye Ting brought the person to Ye Chang, and Kong Lingkan bowed down and said: "Mr. Lang, it's not good, trouble is coming." "Why are you panicking? There is a tiger coming, and the Nanba Shen is here, so it can't eat you."  Ye Chang said angrily.  Just when he was about to convince Ye Shu, this guy came back in a fuss and made such a fuss.  Although for Ye Chang, the help of the Ye clan is not too important now, if he can get the full support of the Ye clan, at least he will have dozens of trustworthy people in his hands, including ten or twenty people.  A man who can go into battle and fight.  "It's the Weizi Village in the north. They heard that the Gao family was taken away, so they said they would send troops to attack Duli." "Weizizhai?" Ye Chang knew that this place was just a village about forty miles northeast of Lushun.  The total population of the village is only three to four hundred people, and there are more than seventy households in total. Such a small village actually wants to attack him?  "What is going on? Please explain the cause and effect clearly." Ye Chang said: "The village of three to four hundred people also wants to attack us. Could it be that they have eaten the courage of a bear's heart and a leopard's courage?" "Lang Jun, although their village is  There are only three to four hundred people, but there are many hunters. Moreover, they are not a village. They also said that they will join forces with the surrounding villages. Moreover, behind them is Qingnipu." Kong Lingkan said with a tearful voice: "The villain is here for you.  Passed the news and got beaten by them.¡±
