Chapter 98

After a full meal, Li Cunxu paid the money and set off to leave this abandoned town and continue westward to Fengxiang.

After leaving the small town, Li Cunxu walked and watched along the road to Fengxiang.

The population of the states and counties of Qi State seen along the way is obviously much larger than before. Li Cunxu met many people with different accents, either living in the city, or living in some villages and towns. I am afraid that most of them were exiled from other places. common people.

After careful questioning, Li Cunxu learned from the people that most of them had moved from Daliang in the east, and it was King Qi who was visiting everywhere who ordered them to be resettled.

The empress was not in Fengxiang at this time, but was visiting various prefectures in Qi State to resettle refugees, which was beyond Li Cunxu's expectation.

Li Cunxu learned from the common people that the Empress traveled around Qi State a month ago in order to appease the exiled people who had come to seek refuge.

But Li Cunxu looked at the refugees who were like ants, and guessed in his heart that there are at least two or three thousand refugees in the state to the east of Qi Kingdom.

Qi State is located in the northwest, with a remote area and less cultivated land.The land of a state is not big, and it is really not easy for each state to accommodate these more than 2000 people.

On the way, Li Cunxu met Xuan Jingtian, one of the nine heavenly saints in Huanyinfang.

Meeting Xuan Jingtian here means that the empress did not use beauty tricks on Li Xingyun, but sent the Nine Heavens Saint Ji to various places to protect the people and protect the environment.

According to Xuan Jingtian herself, she was entrusted with an important task by the empress, and she was sent by the empress to resettle the refugees.

Li Cunxu heard her say to the officials of Zhuzhou and counties: "King Qi is benevolent, you must obey King Qi's orders, and officials of prefectures and counties must..." After speaking, he began to arrange matters to appease the people in an orderly manner.

Li Cunxu saw that under her command, those state and county officials began to work in full swing to support the people.

After careful observation, Li Cunxu discovered that Xuan Jingtian divided the refugees who came here into groups... There are about four groups in a county, and each group has about 600 people. In addition to the refugees from Liang Guo, there are also For some local landless peasants in Qi State, each team also has a field officer who is responsible for commanding the affairs of each team.

According to the order of the empress, Xuan Jingtian organized a large number of refugees into groups according to the establishment of the army, and then ordered the local government of Qiguo prefecture and county to provide wasteland, seeds, cattle and agricultural tools, and each group of refugees and people would reclaim wasteland and cultivate crops. The harvest will be divided proportionally between Qiguo and Tuntian farmers.

These wastelands are cultivated by fixed people, so the people who cultivate them cannot leave the cultivated land too far.So the officials of Qi State helped each group of people build some houses next to the reclaimed wasteland.After the number of houses gradually increased, new villages or towns were formed here.

Seeing this, Li Cunxu remembered that the last time the old man who ran a small stall stayed in the town, there were a lot of farmland next to it.

In addition, Li Cunxu also observed that some refugees, in addition to reclaiming wasteland, seemed to be responsible for some military affairs with a clear division of labor.

But Li Cunxu didn't ask Xuan Jingtian about Qi's military secrets, and Xuan Jingtian would definitely not tell him.

Speaking of which, although Li Cunxu is very close to Huanyinfang, he is still an outsider.Some matters related to the secrets of the Qi Kingdom, the empress did not tell Li Cunxu, no one dared to tell Li Cunxu.Xuan Jingtian told him about the matter of garrisoning the fields before, it was already for the empress's sake.

Although Li Cunxu didn't ask about this aspect, he can guess some.The empress's move is obviously a combination of fighting and farming, and the unity of soldiers and farmers.

In layman's terms, the empress's policy of ordering all states and counties to set up land officials and recruit exiled people to garrison land is obviously the garrison system implemented by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Cao Cao.

The art of establishing a country lies in having strong soldiers and sufficient food.The empress has rectified the weak army before, and now recruits refugees to implement the farming system. I am afraid that the country of Qi will become a country with strong soldiers and enough food in the near future.

The country of Qi is thriving, but the country of Liang is in chaos at this time.The people of Liang State rushed to flee, not only to Qi State, but also to Jin State, Ma Chu, Wu Yue and other countries.

This means that Liang State, the largest country in the Central Plains, is on the verge of extinction.As Daliang's only surviving royal blood, if Zhu Youzhen doesn't return to Bianzhou to stabilize the situation, Daliang may really perish.

But if Zhu Youzhen can quickly conquer Luzhou and return to Bianzhou to proclaim himself emperor with the power of a great victory, he will definitely be able to quickly quell the chaos in other places.

After all, Daliang owns the fertile land of thousands of miles in the Central Plains, and centipedes are dead but not stiff. As long as Zhu Youzhen doesn't go against the law, Daliang will be pacified soon.

……

As soon as he returned to Fengxiang City, Li Cunxu decided to go back to the blacksmith shop first.As for Yang Yan and Yang Miao, Li Cunxu has fulfilled his promise to them, a promise that can enhance their strength.

In fact, Yang Yan and Yang Miao's journey was not easy. They were originally high-ranking water and fire judges of the Xuanming Sect, but after following him, they became iron-backed laborers.

In order to appease Yang Yan and Yang Miao, Li Cunxu exchanged some Xuanbing Powder and Blazing Fire Pill from the system store, and handed them over to assist their cultivation.

After handing the Raging Fire Pill and Xuanbing Powder to Yang Yan and Yang Miao, Yang Yan and Yang Miao couldn't wait to absorb and practice.And Li Cunxu also began to count the gains of his trip to the head of Xuanmingjiao.

The biggest gain is undoubtedly the effectiveness of the two brothers Yang Yan and Yang Miao.Yang Yan and Yang Miao are not only high in martial arts, they also hold some secrets of the Xuanming Sect, and they know the Xuanming Sect well.

However, the two of them can't be called a true heart at present, and they don't deserve too much trust. They might run away as two or five youngsters at some point.

In addition, the iron rods hewed from the meteorite iron cage brought back by Li Cunxu are also a big gain.If it is returned to the furnace for remanufacturing, it may be possible to forge several magical weapons.

Don't underestimate this meteoric iron. The strength of this meteoric iron may not even be able to break through the great heavenly position. It is absolutely extraordinary.

After Li Cunxu planned to let Shen Qingyi smelt these meteorites, they would cast them into handy weapons for Li Tai and Pan Feng respectively.

When he arrived at the blacksmith shop, Li Cunxu first asked Shen Qingyi about the progress of casting the Longquan sword, but Shen Qingyi told him that the casting process was not smooth, and it might take several months to complete.

Li Cunxu was not surprised when he heard it.First of all, the Longquan Sword is a world-renowned famous sword made by Ou Yezi, the originator of the sword.

Secondly, although Shen Qingyi was talented, he was just an ordinary disciple of the Tianshan Sword Sect, and he didn't have the sword-forging furnace of Tianshan Zhujian Pavilion, so it was not easy to forge a Longquan sword.

In fact, Li Cunxu didn't have much interest in the Longquan treasure, so he didn't have much interest in the Longquan sword.He comforted Shen Qingyi a few words, then took out those meteorites and asked him to forge some weapons for Li Tai, Pan Feng and others.

After giving the order, Li Cunxu walked to his other courtyard.

Li Cunxu walked through the streets and alleys, and finally returned to his yard.

The other courtyard is still winding and secluded.When Li Cunxu walked through the corridor and walked to his room, he suddenly found that the room was spotless and the windows were clean, as if it had been taken care of by someone.

Li Cunxu frowned, fully alert.Because in this yard of his own, apart from him, no one actually lives here, not even maids and servants.The house is well-organized, which is very unusual.

Li Cunxu had been away from Fengxiang for a long time, and now his yard and house are being taken care of in an orderly manner, so he is naturally full of doubts.

"who?"

At this time, a figure flashed out of the room and walked slowly towards Li Cunxu.

"Second brother, stay safe!"
