Chapter 439 Reward for Merit

The Qin family was also transferred to the military camp closest to the governor's office in Liaoxi County by Lu Deshengli using his position. Everything about the Qin brothers in the army remains as is. The distance between the four counties is nothing to the Qin brothers who can ride horses.

After the Northeast thawed, the earth began to return to spring, and young weeds sprouted from the fields.

People who had rested all winter began to walk out of their homes, picked up tools and started digging the ground.

The government began to organize spring plowing and set up wasteland reclamation sites in the four counties of Pingzhou.

There were more than 30,000 soldiers in Pingzhou, regardless of whether they were new or old soldiers, and they began to take turns dispatching soldiers to open up wasteland.

Under the constraints of the government, whether it is the newly moved people who want to open up wasteland or the soldiers, they must go to the wasteland reclamation point and open up wasteland in a planned way, and cannot open up wasteland arbitrarily.

The wasteland reclaimed by the soldiers will be owned by the Pingzhou Military Camp after harvest.

After a year of experiments and extensive summarization of previous experience, Liaodong County has made some achievements in planting and breeding.

The government has its own planting and breeding areas. After spring, the government will not only convene one or two representatives from each village to visit and study, but will also send experienced personnel to the local areas to solve problems if they arise.

Spring has just begun, and the farm has used the temperature of the kang bed to hatch a batch of chicks. The price is very fair, and it is distributed to the grain and oil stores of the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce for the convenience of ordinary people to buy. It also comes with a set of breeding methods. Most people choose to keep three or five.

While everyone in Pingzhou was busy with spring plowing, an urgent letter came from Chang'an.

The content of the letter is: Xie Zhan has been named the governor of Lingnan due to his meritorious service.

Lu Desheng was stunned for a moment, "Xie Zhan became the governor of Lingnan? It's so sudden! There are no signs at all."

Lu Songli's eyes darkened. Thinking of the news that Chen Jinshui had returned from the Southland, she thought to herself that it was not without signs.

"For merit? Let me see what great contributions Xie Zhan has made?!" Lu Desheng glanced down.

Then he blinked, then blinked again, and then pushed the letter to Lu Songli, "Daughter, take a look at this letter, I always feel like I'm dazzled."

After Lu Songli read it, she said, "Dad, you shouldn't be dazzled."

Xie Zhan revealed the news to the emperor that the rice on Zhuya Island could be harvested three times a year.

Hearing this, Lu Desheng was so angry that he slapped the table, "How unreasonable! That's it? The emperor gave him the position of governor before the news was completely confirmed?"

Lu Songli silently put the letter back, thinking, yes, just like that, the emperor made Xie Zhan jump from a white body to a local official.

Lu Desheng was indignant, "The Emperor is so partial! He is so bullying!"

For their meritorious service, the emperor rewarded them and picked them up. Thinking about how much they had planned and done to get the position of governor of Pingzhou, it was not easy.

As for Xie Zhan, after going to the Southland, he made two contributions. The first time the emperor pardoned the Xie family, and the second time he directly gave Xie Zhan the position of governor.

The emperor was too forgiving to Xie Zhan and too harsh to the Qin and Lu families.

Lu Songli comforted her father, "Dad, let's not be angry. When you are angry, don't you use other people's mistakes to punish yourself? And just watch, Song Mo will regret it one day if he does this."

Song Mo's reward for Xie Zhan this time was too generous, and rationally, she could understand it. Food has always been a country's most important material. The imperial court, which had just experienced the Northern War and the Yanmen Snow Disaster at the end of last year, was now very short of food.

It can be said that Xie Zhan's discovery surprised Song Mo. Presumably the entire court's eyes are now on Zhuya Island, right?

She already knew the news about Xie Zhan's development of Zhuya Island. Chen Jinshui passed it back.

After Chen Jinshui followed Zhang Xian back to Chang'an, he changed his identity and went to Nandi. When she received the letter, she felt that Xie Zhan was somewhat capable.

Lu Songli knew that there was an element of the emperor trying to make up for Xie Zhan.

When Xie Zhan helped him ascend the throne, she was used as a scapegoat and killed before he could reward him for his merits.

Now that Xie Zhan repeatedly solved problems for him and gave him money and food, Song Mo began to cherish his talents.

After a while, Lu Desheng's emotions calmed down. He picked up the letter and read it again, "Dear girl, is it true that the rice in Zhuya Island can be harvested three times a year?" Is it fake?

Lu Songli: "Well, it should be true."

"It's true. Isn't Zhuya Island a natural granary?" Such a good place is now under Xie Zhan's jurisdiction.

Lu Songli didn't say anything. There was nothing we could do about it. Every place had its own geographical advantages.

Lu Desheng frowned, "Zhuya Island has three crops a year, but here we only have one crop a year. No matter how good we grow, we can't keep up with others."

Lu Songli simply proposed planting methods such as rotation, intercropping, and intercropping, and asked Guo Chunsheng, Sicang Junjun, who was in charge of farming and fishery, to explore with experienced farmers to maximize the use of land and space.

Plus proper fertilization.

In this way, the harvest of crops in the fields will not be less throughout the year.

Moreover, the light duration is different, and the taste of the food is also different. They can choose good varieties of seeds in Pingzhou, and the food they grow should taste better, and they can take the high-quality route in the future.

Poor people can exchange refined grains for coarse grains from other places to eat, which is enough to eat.

"Is this okay?"

"Try it." Lu Songli thought that she should try to use her own advantages.

The place where the Li people live

Xian Feng and his companions returned to the Li tribe before the Chinese New Year. As soon as they returned, they were called away by the chief.

After the chief asked them about their life in Liaodong County in detail, he remained silent.

He acquiesced to Liaodong County's suggestion that they plant sugarcane.

Afterwards, Xian Feng and his tribesmen spent money to buy sugarcane sprouts. At the beginning of spring, they went to the mountains to guide the Li people to plant sugarcane.

When Xian Feng and his tribesmen finished planting sugarcane and were ready to go north, the chief sent someone to call them.

When they went north, they brought four young men with them.
