Chapter 40
Because of Ye Xun's appearance, the entire Tieling area, including Kaiyuan, has been relatively stable.

However, even though the Tatars did not come, the common people knew that this was only a temporary calm, and that Daming could no longer resist the Tatars' attacks in Liaodong, so if they wanted to survive, they had to stay away from this war-torn land.

In the past, the best places for the people to escape were big cities such as Shenyang, or they simply fled to the grasslands and customs, but when Ye Xun rose strongly, the people changed their minds one after another and flocked towards Tieling instead.

It is hard to leave the homeland, even if there is a glimmer of hope, no one is willing to leave their hometown to seek a life in a strange place.

The land of Liaodong has been devastated by Nurhachi's Tartar soldiers, and now only a few big cities such as Shenyang are considered safe, but it doesn't matter whether those big cities can take them in, and the distance is far away, so Tieling has become one of these People's first choice.

If you have aerial photography, you can look down on the area around Tieling from the air, and you can see the people with their families on the various official roads leading to Tieling, with their meager possessions, struggling to move forward, and there is no end in sight.

It is said that the soldier bears one bear, and the bear bears one nest. Since the miraculous eunuch Ye Xun came out of Tieling, even the soldiers with Tieling have stiffened their waists.

After knowing that a large number of refugees were coming, Ye Xun gave orders to the scout battalion and sent additional manpower to protect the fleeing people and ensure their safety.

And with Ye Xun as a strong backer, when encountering sporadic Jurchen scouts, these Ming army scouts even dared to take the initiative to attack. You know, this was something that was never even dared to think about in the past.

Although Gao Ying had persuaded Ye Xun not to accept refugees as much as possible, after all, Tieling city was too small to accommodate too many people.

But Ye Xun has Ye Xun's own thoughts. Seeing that spring plowing is about to start, Liaodong lacks everything, except for the vast land. Is it possible to let these lands go barren like this?
You must know that the black land in the north is the treasure of the soil. Although the yield is not as high as that in the south, the crops grown are more nutritious. Once the cultivated land becomes large-scale, it can not only supply the army, but can even be sold to the south in exchange for the army. capital.

Of course, this is just Ye Xun's preliminary idea, and there is still a long way to go to accomplish this goal.

In addition, although Tieling City is too small to accommodate too many people, it can be expanded!Aren't so many refugees just ready-made labor?At the same time, there is a lot of waste in the city, so there is no need for manpower?
It was with these thoughts that Ye Xun encouraged the refugees to come here. There is no free lunch in the world, and what you pay for is rewarded. This principle is applicable everywhere.

After placing Marin, Ye Xun called Cao Bianjiao over. This steel knife must be sharpened frequently to become sharper.

"Changing Jiao! Do you want to kill the Tartars?"

Hearing Ye Xun's question, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help but be overjoyed. Of course, his ambition is not to be a personal soldier and to fight across the battlefield, which is what he hopes for in life.

Immediately knelt down on one knee, and said loudly: "Eunuch, give the order! Changing Jiao will definitely live up to Eunuch's expectations."

Ye Xun stretched out his hand to help him up, and said with a smile, "There is no rush to kill people, and the climate of the Tartars is already established, how can you do it alone? I will give you a task now, which is to recruit brave fighters and form a Sharp knife battalion, this sharp knife battalion is under your command, and in the future, it will be like a sharp knife on the battlefield, designed to stab the enemy's heart, I wonder if you have the confidence?"

After hearing Ye Xun's words, Cao Bianjiao couldn't help being stunned. He never expected that Ye Xun would entrust him with such an important task as soon as he arrived at Ye Xun's side. What a great trust this is!

The Sharp Knife Camp, as the name suggests, is just like the Suppressed Camp and the Beiwei Army in ancient times. They must go first in every battle. The danger is great, but it is also a great honor.

Cao Bianjiao is young and vigorous, just at the age when he is eager to establish his achievements. It can be said that Ye Xun's proposal completely suits Cao Bianjiao's appetite.

For a moment, Cao Bianjiao only felt that the blood in his whole body seemed to be boiling. Regardless of Ye Xun's obstruction, he turned over and knelt down again, and said loudly: "The last general will swear to follow the father-in-law, and be the sharpest knife in the father-in-law's hand."

When Ye Xun first heard Cao Bianjiao's name, he only remembered that their uncle and nephew was a famous warrior in the late Ming Dynasty. If he kept this person by his side, in time, he would definitely be his right-hand man.

When drinking with Ma Lin just now, Ye Xun suddenly thought that although his own lineage team has been established, he still lacks a strong army. I remember that Cao Bianjiao in history was one of the few famous generals who defeated Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng. It's a pity that the people in my life let him follow me every day now.

It was precisely because of this idea that Ye Xun said this to Cao Bianjiao after drinking Ma Lin.

Scholars die for their confidants, this is what Cao Bianjiao thinks now.

According to Ye Xun's thinking, there are not many soldiers, and Tieling's current strength is limited, so the number of soldiers in the Jiandao Battalion is tentatively set at [-], and it will be increased in the future depending on the situation.

After discussing with Cao Bianjiao about the selection and training of soldiers, he gave the token to Cao Bianjiao and asked him to pick people with the token.

Tieling can now be said to be Ye Xun's voice, all orders come from him, especially in terms of mobilizing troops, no one is allowed to mobilize a single soldier without permission.

After Cao Bianjiao left, Ye Xun couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief while sitting on the chair. Although he had magical powers to protect his body, he was still a little tired after a busy day.

He was about to rest for a while and went to the back house to let the young ladies give him a massage. The guard came to report, and Han Ping asked to see him.

After Ye Xun allocated special funds to the weapon workshop to improve the working and living conditions of the craftsmen, both the weapon workshop and the gunpowder workshop have already started to produce various weapons and gunpowder at full capacity, and the workload in a few days can catch up with the past few days. It has been a month, and if this goes on, the gunpowder produced can fully support a big battle.

At the same time, Ye Xun also told Han Ping that Han Ping should tell the craftsmen not to limit themselves to the production of current weapons and firearms, but also to increase the research and development of new weapons and firearms. For the reward, Ye Xun will also report it to the imperial court, and add officials and ranks to the craftsmen who have made outstanding contributions.

Ye Xun has always believed that the wisdom of the working people is infinite, as long as they are given enough motivation, they will continue to present surprises.

Looking at the sky outside, it was getting late. Han Ping must have something to do when he came here.

Ye Xun didn't dare to expect Han Ping and the others to come up with good things so quickly, but he still had to meet people.

Soon, Han Ping came in under the guidance of the guards. After bowing and saluting, he said, "Forgive me for interrupting my father-in-law's rest."

"Hehe! It's okay, our family doesn't have so many stinky problems. At this hour, you haven't eaten yet, right? It's just right, let's eat with our family"

As Ye Xun said, he was going to order someone to prepare dinner. This is a habit. Only when you get along well with your subordinates, will your subordinates be more willing to open their hearts to you.

Han Ping was indeed very moved, but he was not good at words, so he hurriedly said, "Don't dare to disturb the father-in-law's meal. If there is something to report to the father-in-law, the subordinate will leave after talking."

Without waiting for Ye Xun to say anything, Han Ping continued: "In the afternoon, a Shanxi businessman named Wang Dengku found his subordinates. He said he wanted to donate a batch of money and food for military use. "official job"

"Wang Dengku?"

Hearing this name, Ye Xun couldn't help but frown.
