Chapter 194: The System of Stationing Troops to Maintain Farmland
"Brother, it's too late this year, but starting next year, I think the army can reclaim the land and cultivate it themselves."
“We grow our own crops?”
"Yes, just like there is a large piece of wasteland behind this military camp. But if it is reclaimed and high-yield wheat or millet is planted, 3.5 acres of land can produce enough food to feed soldiers for a year."
"Little sister, your plan is good, but the soldiers need training, and the border defense is strict. I'm afraid we can't spare the manpower to farm."
Now in order to fight against the Jin Kingdom, he brought an army of 10. Once the trouble with the Jin Kingdom is resolved, these 10 troops will have to go back, and the remaining 5 troops at the border will have to guard the border.
"In this case, big brother can submit a petition to reclaim wasteland and then hire farmers to plant crops. For example, you can hire us to plant crops at the border of Yanshan.
I only take one-third of the total output as compensation. Apart from the land, we will take care of all the other things, such as seeds, tools, and oxen. You just need to wait for the harvest in autumn."
"Will you be at a disadvantage in this way, little sister?"
So many things are produced, including seeds, tools, and workers.
"You won't suffer any loss, but you won't make much either. Think of it as seeking benefits for the border generals."
If 3.5 mu of land were to be reclaimed, 20 jin of seeds would be needed per mu, and a total of 70 jin of seeds would be needed. The price of one jin of wheat was more than 11 wen, and the seeds would cost about more than 7700 taels of silver.
Other things such as oxen, farm tools, farmers, etc., are already owned by you, so they can be ignored.
3.5 mu of wheat can produce more than 2800 million jin of wheat. If you get one third of it, it is 924 million jin, and the profit is a little more than 10 silver taels. After deducting the seeds and other expenses, you can have at least 9 taels of silver left.
There are more than 8000 farmers, including their own 3.5 acres of land and 3.5 acres of land contracted from the army. On average, each person is allocated less than 9 acres of land. With the help of oxen, they are able to handle the work.
"Since you say so, I will submit a memorial to ask for instructions and see what His Majesty has to say."
"Okay, brother, what's going on in Jin Kingdom recently?"
"There is news that their king is gathering troops, and the two armies are likely to go to war."
This king is also a warmonger.
Zhao Yuanzhen took the map and began to look at the cities of the Jin Dynasty.
The city area of the Jin Dynasty was not large. After all, they were a nomadic people. The capital was only four days' journey from the border. If a person rode a horse alone, it would probably be even faster.
Since the King of Jin is a warmonger, let's replace him with a non-warmongering one.
"Brother, do you trust me?"
"You are my sister, of course I trust you!"
Zhao Yuanlan said as a matter of course.
"Okay, since you trust me, then listen to me this time. I'm going to go to the capital of the Jin Kingdom. I'll capture the king first and replace the Jin Kingdom with a king who is not warlike."
"No, absolutely not. I don't agree. Do you know how dangerous the enemy's capital is?"
Zhao Yuanlan once again witnessed Zhao Yuanzhen's courage.
"Brother, I am 9% sure that I can escape unscathed. Please trust me. I will go to the capital first. In 5 days at most, I will be able to capture their king.
On the eighth day, you should attack the border cities of the Jin Kingdom. By then, the news of their king's murder will have spread, and the army will be unstable. You can occupy their border cities and wait for them to negotiate and surrender. "
With the death of the king and the occupation of the city, it will be difficult for the Jin Kingdom to turn things around.
"The Jin capital is heavily guarded. How did you get in?"
"Brother, I have my own way to deal with this, but you have to keep these things strictly confidential for me and not tell anyone. I have never been to the Kingdom of Jin, and their king died in an internal struggle."
Being able to go to the palace alone and kill the king of the enemy country was also a kind of fear for the emperor of the Liang Dynasty. In order not to arouse his majesty's suspicion and fear, she must not show her face.
"I can definitely keep this a secret, but I'm worried about you."
"Brother, I have so much wealth, but I haven't enjoyed life yet. I will not seek death. When the Kingdom of Jin surrenders, I hope you will submit a memorial to His Majesty to allow the two countries to open border trade and exchange what they have."
In this way, all kinds of things in Zhao Yuanzhen's workshop can be sold better.
This is not just her selfish desire. Merchants from all over the country can come here to exchange what they have and what they need, which will drive the positive development of the Daliang Dynasty.
"There is no problem with this. This is a good thing to promote the development of Daliang Dynasty. Your Majesty should not obstruct it."
"Okay, then, big brother, I'm going back. I'll use the excuse of going to Yanshan Prefecture in the afternoon and will be out of seclusion in the evening. Remember our agreement."
"Hey! Little sister, please be careful on your way."
"I will, brother, wait for my good news."
Zhao Yuanzhen then returned to Zhangjiazhuang and set off with the transport team, saying that they were going to Yanshan Prefecture to purchase goods.
She followed the caravan and sat in the carriage. After leaving the city, she quietly got off the carriage and walked towards the border.
She took the best route and reached the capital of the Jin Dynasty in more than three days.
They didn't dare to show their identities. They all scouted the place wearing invisibility cloaks, and ate and slept in the space.
At around 12 o'clock in the evening, she turned on the real-time scan, put on an invisibility cloak, and let the system block her breath, and set off for the palace.
When we arrived at the Jin King's bedroom, it was already past 1 o'clock.
Zhao Yuanzhen sneaked into the king's bedroom and used a sleeping bug to make everyone in the bedroom fall asleep.
Looking at the people who had fainted on the ground, she smiled with satisfaction.
All kinds of points, here she comes.
She had no interest in the personal life of the King of Jin, and she didn't care about that person. She only cared about her points.
I started collecting everything I saw, taking nothing of value.
After taking over the king's bedroom, she bought some colorless and odorless oil and doused it with it, then set it on fire and ran away.
He also searched several other palaces and even the king's private vault, taking away most of the gold and silver items.
The national treasury was not touched. She just wanted to change the king of the Jin Dynasty. The money in the national treasury had to be sent to the Daliang Dynasty to seek reconciliation.
This time, thanks to the shielding effect of the system, things went unusually smoothly. By the time she had finished cleaning up the second bedroom, the fire there had already spread to the sky and the sound of shouting for help was endless.
Zhao Yuanzhen sped up the collection process. This was not her country, and no matter how much she looked, it would not be counted on her, so she collected it without any pressure and took away all the valuables.
In the end, the Jin people would only think that it was a group of powerful rebels who not only stole the palace, but also set fire to it and stole treasures.
After Zhao Yuanzhen had almost finished cleaning up the palace, he went to take a look at the king's bedroom. It was burned to ashes and the person was completely dead.
He ignored the imperial palace and continued to harvest crops at the homes of ministers and wealthy families before daybreak.
If Zhao Yuanlan were here, he would definitely think that his younger sister was here to steal money, and that her words about killing the King of Jin for the sake of justice and for the Liang Dynasty were actually fake.
It must be fake!
Zhao Yuanzhen will tell you, yes, I came here just for the points.
She has been thinking about this big fat sheep day and night for a long time.
After taking over the mansions of the wealthy families and the eunuchs, Zhao Yuanzhen went back out of the city.
We kept going all the way, and when Xiao Hei got tired, we would change to another one.
It only took two nights and one day to reach Yanshan Prefecture.
After organizing a transport team to load up the goods, she followed the transport team back to Xiaoshan County in a swagger.
I wandered around the cafeteria twice to increase my exposure.
No, I’m too sleepy.
I really can't hold on any longer.
Take it back quickly and go to sleep.
I slept for a whole night and a half before finally waking up.
Ask someone to prepare water so that they can wash up properly. Lan Ying has already asked the kitchen to prepare meals.
After eating and drinking, he lay on the Arhat bed and began to organize the supplies in the space.
I looked through them all, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and various ornaments. I kept the ones I liked and sold the ones I didn't like.
There are a lot of furs in the Kingdom of Jin, and the quality is particularly high, all of them are top-quality furs.
She picked out a lot and kept them for her own use later.
All the silver and silver notes with marks were exchanged for points.
This wave is simply a wave of fat.
Maybe because this is also something from the Jin royal family, the system gives it exceptionally high points.
Zhao Yuanzhen curled her lips, but still sold them all to the system.
She has now thought of a foolproof plan to deal with the system, so she is not afraid of it absorbing the royal aura.
All the items plus silver, etc., were exchanged for a total of 2.489 million.
Adding his previous 1.8 million points, he now has 4.289 million points.
Zhao Yuanzhen in the space laughed like a pig.
I've made a fortune. I'm still more than 1 million away from my target points. I'll keep working hard.
After sorting out the points, I started looking at furs.
I picked out a dozen pieces of leather that I liked and threw them all into the system, letting it dry clean and disinfect them.
Otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear.
After the leather is washed, it is handed over to Zhang Qingyan for production.
Today is the sixth day, and there are still two days left as agreed with Zhao Yuanlan. She plans to go to the military camp in the afternoon and report to Zhao Yuanlan that she is safe.
"Little sister! You're back."
My little sister is running so fast, it’s obvious that she is traveling overnight.
"Well, brother, I came back overnight. All the matters in Jin Kingdom have been dealt with. You can proceed according to the original plan."
"Okay, okay, it has to be you, little sister, but it's a pity that you are not a man!"
If I were a man, Your Majesty would definitely confer the title of general upon my younger sister.
"Brother, I just like farming, doing business, and making money. I am very happy when I see the money increasing."
"You, little money-grubber, I don't have anything to do here. I'm ready. You should go back and rest. It's really tiring to travel all night."
"Okay, I just came here to let you know I'm safe. I'll be going back now, brother."
"Well, go back."
Zhao Yuanzhen reported that she was safe, and after completing the task of showing her face, she went back.
As for attacking the border of the Jin Dynasty, that is Zhao Yuanlan's business and he will not get involved.
In addition to wine, the workshop's first batch of finished products came out. Zhao Yuanzhen equipped her sales team with horse-drawn carriages and asked them to set off with samples.
Run, my salesmen, I hope you can come back with a bunch of orders.
