    However, Xu Kan can understand and even accept that Lu Yuanpeng will get more benefits.  ¡°After all, Lu Yuanpeng had to spend a lot of money to form the county army. Let alone five years, according to what Lu Yuanpeng said, he would have to spend millions of dollars in three to five years. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out of 160 kilograms of grain per acre, which is eight jin, a total of 240 jin.  That is to say, after paying the tax, the landlord will only have about 80 kilograms of grain left for one acre of land. If it is poured out, there will be a surplus of 8,000 kilograms. After excluding all the tenants, the landlord will actually have even less.  But if it is newly cultivated land, the harvest of one stone per acre is already extraordinary.  It is indeed necessary to halve the tax collection, otherwise Lu Yuanpeng would not only have nothing left, but he would probably repay the tax.  It¡¯s just that reclaiming wasteland requires hiring a lot of manpower, which is very expensive.  According to Xu Kan's estimation, it would be good if Lu Yuanpeng could reclaim Baiqing.  Although he earned a lot in five years, it was still far from enough compared to the money he paid. It was only a slight supplement.  Xu Kan, who only wanted to form two troops to suppress bandits in Liangtun County as soon as possible, could not refuse Lu Yuanpeng's small selfishness.  As for the unauthorized reclamation, Xu Kan had an idea in his mind. This must be reported to the Xianyang Prime Minister's Office for record. At the worst, he could just hand over all the taxes Lu Yuanpeng paid to reclaim the wasteland, and then Lu Yuanpeng could reclaim the wasteland for Lao Qin.  With so much extra tax every year, the high-ranking officials who come to Xianyang will not embarrass themselves.  " If Lu Yuanpeng is successful in suppressing bandits again, then his ability to open up wasteland will not be worth mentioning.  "Okay! According to my nephew, there is a large wasteland outside your military camp, with more than 100,000 people. In addition to the horse farm land, those wastelands can be reclaimed as much as my nephew can. It is up to Chief Xiao to measure the land and recruit refugees in the county.  Officials will take care of it.¡±  ¡ª¡ªOctober in Pei County, it is a good time for the sun to shine brightly, and the autumn air to be crisp.  .  Large areas of crops have been harvested long ago, leaving large areas of bare fields. Not far from the edges of the fields, there are fields for drying crops, and everything is golden.  In the distance, on the vast wilderness hills, the lush green has gradually begun to recede, and the leaves of the trees that are not resistant to frost and cold have gradually begun to turn yellow-orange. The yellow and green colors make the mountains, rivers and land even more vigorous and majestic.  Ten miles away from Peixian County, a river with a width of more than ten feet and abundant water is glowing with silver and flowing to the southeast.  On the east side of the river, along a strip of grass beach that is about dozens of miles long and more than ten miles wide, the sagebrush that is half a man tall has turned yellow. From a distance, you can't see the end of it.  As the cool autumn wind blows, the long grass undulates, and the scene becomes spectacular.  In the past, this place was just a deserted beach and sea of ??grass where wild beasts roamed. Except for hunters hunting and farmers collecting firewood, there were few human traces.  However, today is different from the past. In front of a military camp that is one hundred and fifty steps long and wide at the northern end of Caotan, on a high flagpole, a black Qin Army standard military flag is fluttering in the wind.  Thousands of men and women have already gathered around the flat open space in front of the military camp. Along the dirt road leading from Pei County to the distance dozens of steps away, people are still gathering here.  Today, Lu Yuanpeng is recruiting county soldiers here. After hearing the news, the people of Peixian County came to watch one after another.  According to Xu Kan's instructions, Xiao He had already announced the details of the conditions for recruiting county soldiers that he had negotiated with Lu Yuanpeng. All the soldiers in Peixian County who were between the ages of 18 and 25 and were willing to serve as Peixian County soldiers for a long time.  , all come here today to apply.  People in Peixian County were puzzled by such a novel recruitment with such favorable conditions. They had never heard of such recruitment.  They wanted to see how many soldiers the Lu family, who was very popular in Pei County, could find.  So, early in the morning, many men, women and children came to watch the excitement in and around Peixian County.  In front of the gate of the military camp, on a temporary high platform made of wooden boards, seven people, Xue Ou, Wang Sui, Chen Bi, Chen Xu, Dong Zhu, Wu Hu, and Zhou Xin, were all wearing the Qin Army's standard black leather armor, looking majestic.  Standing on the stage.  However, except for Dong Zhu, everyone else looked a little nervous and had to look back at the military camp from time to time.  Even Chen Bi, who has always been carefree, is like this.  Different from Xue Ou and others, Li Bi and Luo Jia, two chief ministers from Xiangxian County and their two five county soldiers, wore black leather armor and held swords, sitting majestically on the backs of ten strong horses on both sides.  Looks murderous.  The recruiting ground where thousands of people gathered became much more solemn.  More than a dozen county government officials kept shouting at the crowded crowd to maintain order around the open space.   In the military camp, there is a tall stone house made of bluestone on a high earth platform.  Except for this stone house, the other houses in the camp are made of adobe and covered with white thatch.  The autumn wind blows, and the white grass tumbles, adding a sense of desolation to the military camp.  The stone house is very spacious. In the main hall in the middle, opposite the door is a stone platform with five stone steps. A wide low table is placed in front of the couch on top. Under the stone steps, there are more than a dozen couches on both sides.  , this is obviously the meeting hall of the military camp.  However, at this time, there were only two people in the empty meeting hall.  In front of the thick and solid wooden door of the conference hall with a gap open, Lu Yuanpeng, wearing a black leather armor and carrying a sword to expand the territory, stood there with a calm expression.  This leather armor fits perfectly, making Lu Yuanpeng look energetic and majestic.  It's just that Lu Yuanpeng's behavior at the moment seems inconsistent with his superficial momentum.  At this moment, Lu Yuanpeng was looking out of the military camp.  Xiao He was sitting on a couch, stroking the lacquer lamp, looking at Lu Yuanpeng with great interest.  Looking at the crowd gathering outside, Lu Yuanpeng secretly let out a sigh of relief. He turned around and found that Xiao He was looking at him with a sly look, and he was always looking at him with a smile.  Xiao He smiled slightly and thought to himself: "Although this son is decisive in killing, daring to think and do, and his plans are not small, he is still a child after all." "Master, I wonder how confident you are in recruiting troops now?" Although Lu Yuanpeng came up with this idea  I really don't know how to recruit troops.  Even Xue Ou, Wang Sui, Chen Bi and others were doubtful when they learned that Lu Yuanpeng wanted to recruit troops in this way.  Lu Yuanpeng was very worried that according to his method, he would not be able to recruit enough troops.  Therefore, Lu Yuanpeng sent Xue Ou, Wang Sui and others to the camp gate early, but he himself made an excuse to accompany Xiao He, hiding in the meeting hall, and refused to show up. ?? Lu Yuanpeng bowed deeply to Xiao He and said in a sincere tone: "Sir, your work is indeed safe. Peng thanked you in advance." Please recommend and collect!
