After leaving the imperial city, Wang Han said: "This time the court is very determined. I only hope that when I give money and food, don't be stingy."

Feng Wenxian shook his head: "That's not good. He said he was going to Lianghu Yingtian, but the first place he went to was Li, Ding and Tan, which were the most chaotic states. I'm afraid that we would fight the barbarians before we could open the fields."

Li Shen said: "This matter is inevitable. Why do you have to go to these three states first? It is because of the development of the two lakes, and you will inevitably conflict with the barbarians. Going to these three states will give the barbarians a warning. Besides, it is already April now, and there are not many crops to plant this year, which can be just enough to quell the chaos."

Looking at the sky, Li Shen said: "I will leave the capital by train tomorrow. It's still early now. Let's find a restaurant to have a drink."

This time I went to Jinghu, the four of them were in the same mood, but no one had any objections. After leaving the imperial city, we arrived at the Iron Film Building nearby.

It was also a coincidence that none of these four people were from Jinshi, and they entered the officialdom with grace. Except for Li Shen, the others were all martial arts ranks. Of course, when they went to Jinghu, the main consideration was to deal with barbarians. Except for a few officials from Jinshi, most of them were not suitable to lead troops.

I chose a pavilion next to the window, and four of them sat down and ordered wine and food.

Looking at the view outside the window, Li Shen said: "This season, mulberry is on the market and the green apricots are still small, which is a good time of the year. Going to Jinghu, tens of thousands of troops, draining water and clearing wasteland is not an easy task."

Wang Han said: "The Privy Council and the Political Affairs Hall said that the Prosecutors only care about the land affairs and the Changping Warehouse. Anyone who has a barbarian chaos is to pacify the envoy. It is just a bit harder to build the land, and it is not a trivial matter."

He nodded: "That's true. Lizhou governs four counties, Liyang and Anxiang counties are located on plains, with a small population and land that can be cultivated. Shimen and Cili counties are originally barbarian land with mountains. When the army enters to reclaim the fields, will the barbarians sit and watch?"

Feng Wenxian said: "What are you afraid of! The barbarians dare to cause rebellion and dispatch large troops to suppress the pacification. This time, the imperial court allowed the army in the field to bring a few muskets and equip swords and guns, but was still afraid of the barbarians? Only by pacifying those places can we farm with peace of mind."

Li Shen shook his head: "Li and Dingzhou are connected to Chenzhou in the west, and it will be like a transformation. If you go there, there will inevitably be barbarism. The imperial guards are now training, and even if there are chaos in the two lakes, we can only pacify ourselves. I just care about the camp, but the soldiers are all taken away to quell the chaos, so why do we still open the fields?"

At this moment, the restaurant served wine and food. The four of them drank a glass, ate some dishes, and talked about gossip.

Wang Han said: "Now Dingzhou and Tanzhou are nothing more than Meishan barbarians. The barbarians are widely distributed and there are chaos almost every year. When they go, if they don't take heavy measures to punish them, they will inevitably be uneasy. The court did not arrange the troops to the two lakes this time, so we should be careful. If we accumulate more people, we will be divided into various states. Moreover, when Du Taiwei was camping in Jingxi Road, he was connected to several states, and the land affairs were connected. Even if there were some small chaos, there were many people camping in the land affairs, and it would be pacified soon. If it was scattered, it would be easy to be taken by the barbarians."

Li Shendao: "I expect to reclaim the fields around Dongting Lake. The people who went there in the early days were divided into Liyang, Anxiang, Wuling, Chenyang, Yuanjiang counties, as well as Yiyang, Xiangyin and other counties in Tanzhou. In this way, the land management and management services were connected in a large area, and the population was concentrated, so they were not afraid of the surrounding barbarians."

Wang Han nodded, drank a glass with everyone, and said, "What should the original households do if they are designated as a place for camping fields?"

Li Shendao: "Referring to the method of Du Taiwei's camping field, they bought their land into the camping field. If the places where the camping field were mixed with households, it would be very unfavorable to the future and there would inevitably be conflicts."

Xiang Zong said: "It is not easy to buy land for households, but it is easy to have disputes."

"Then you have to use a trick. If you don't sell it, move it to other places. If you don't sell it, don't make any land. The land for the land management business is not connected in large areas and mixed with the people, there will inevitably be many disputes. Especially when the land is opened, local tyrants will inevitably compete for it, which will be even more troublesome at that time."

Li Gan obviously thought about this matter clearly and said it firmly. Although there are many idle land in the two lakes, there are also many indigenous people. To reclaim wasteland, especially tens of thousands of people in the field camp, if you want to connect it, you have to deal with some indigenous people. The general principle is to buy it. All the land in the area designated by the field camp is purchased by the field camp, and personnel will enter the field camp. If you are unwilling, you can also set up empty land in other places for exchange, and the field camp army will give you certain money and goods. In short, the field camp camp planned by Li Shen should be separated from the local area.

Feng Wenxian shook his head and sighed: "In this way, the place will inevitably be troublesome. It is really not peaceful for us to go here."

Several people nodded together, raised their glasses, and drank wine and each thought about their worries. Lizhou and Dingzhou belong to Jinghu North Road, while Tanzhou is the first prefecture of Jinghu South Road. Wang Han, as the pacifier of Jinghu South Road, could not manage the two prefectures. However, the chaos of the two prefectures was the southern road, especially the Meishan barbarians near Tanzhou. To the west of Meishan, there were continuous mountains, and there were many barbarians in the mountains, but they were all in the same spirit. Often, one prefecture rebelled quickly and expanded to several prefectures, and even covered the surrounding Guangnan West Road and Kuizhou Road, which was very difficult to manage.

Changsha County, Tanzhou, is Changsha in later generations. Du Zhongxiao was the core area of ​​the Han people in his previous life. This era was not the case. There were many barbarians around him, and Tanzhou was like a border county. There were a lot of land that could be developed around Dongting Lake, but it was not peaceful, so it was not easy to build a field.

The reason why Yingtian started from these states was similar to what a few people estimated to have been to put down the barbarians first. Without the army invasion, the harassment of the barbarians would not be reduced. They themselves did not accept the kingdom and were distributed among the mountains without taxes or taxes. Moreover, they had local kings, and once they had the opportunity, they would cause chaos and loot prefectures and counties. The army entered the suppression, and the barbarians hid in the mountains and forests, and when the army withdrew and came out, they would still be the same in a few years.

Without the development of surrounding areas, those places did not support the army's long-term garrison, and in the end they could only compromise. Because of the Barbarian chaos, Li, Ding and Tan, there were few immigrants, and many lands were not developed, forming a vicious cycle. The three states were camped in the fields to form peripheral development strongholds, and the army gradually entered the mountains, turning the barbarians in the mountains into households and completely developed them.

Most of the barbarians in the mountains are still in the era of slash-and-burn farming, and their lives are quite difficult. This is what happens in the world. If people outside the mountains live well, the barbarians in the mountains will take the initiative to naturalize. In fact, most of them belong to some local kings, similar to slaves, and are not familiar with the world outside the mountains. If the court does not take the initiative to attack, it will be difficult to change those places. The mountains limit the footsteps of people outside the mountains and limit the vision of people in the mountains. They are in another world, and if the army does not enter, there will be little communication between the two sides.

The two lake camp fields planned by Du Zhongxiao are mainly divided into the west of the lake, east and west of the lake. After weighing the trade-offs, the first thing to develop is to take advantage of the new army to be eliminated and have combat power, and the characters are mainly chaotic.

Li Shen drank wine and said, "If you want to calm the turmoil, the most important thing is to cultivate the fields. As long as the turmoil is rooted there, the surrounding area can be sufficient soldiers and food, and the turmoil will not be able to get up. However, many soldiers of the imperial guards have not known farming for many generations, and it is not easy."

Wang Han gently stroked his beard and said, "What I mean is that many of the soldiers of the imperial guards have been soldiers for generations and have lived in Kaifeng for one or two hundred years. How could they know about farming? Cows, farm tools, seeds, and the court can provide them, but there is no way to farming skills. When Du Taiwei was in the Jingxi Road, he compiled a book of farming, so it is best to bring some of them."

Li Shen smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Magistrate, these soldiers who were eliminated are unwilling to go to the military academy to study. Where can they read the books? They can only know what they are doing and find some people to teach."
