Wei and Jin cooks

Zhao Hanzhang not only rearranged the public house for Chang Ning, but also generously allocated him a house in the county town and assigned him a house of servants.

Anyway, she has no shortage of manpower now.

Chang Ning felt Zhao Hanzhang's importance to him before he officially started working. When he formally contacted the county affairs, he felt the deeper, because Zhao Hanzhang was really invisible and talked to him about all county affairs.

He didn't even have time to get along with the new lord, and was frightened by the details she threw at him.

Looking at the data in his hand, he asked awkwardly: "This is it?"

"This is the person we need to arrange," Zhao Hanzhang asked someone to hang up a simple map. The reason why it was called a simple map was because it only roughly drew areas one by one and marked the names.

This was drawn by Fu Tinghan after a rough estimate. The area figures above were also rough calculations, but the areas of Huangtian and Guantian were quite different.

Zhao Hanzhang motioned to Chang Ning to look at the map, "We decided to arrange people to various parts of Xiping County and let them cultivate the now abandoned land and official fields."

The surprise on Chang Ning's face slowly faded away, and she asked calmly: "But?"

Zhao Hanzhang glanced at him with satisfaction and continued: "However, without a house, we now lack clothing and bedding to keep out the cold. Now it is time to plant winter wheat, and we cannot miss the farming season."

Chang Ning asked: "Then where do they live now?"

"In the wilderness," Zhao Hanzhang said: "Every day we work in the fields and rest on the spot after meals. We are governed by soldiers sent out by the army. They are quite obedient."

Chang Ning pondered, "It's late autumn now. Although the weather has turned cooler, we can survive. In a while, the cold current will move southward and the nights will be cold. It will be no longer possible to sleep in the wild."

Zhao Hanzhang nodded in agreement, looked at him eagerly and asked, "Sir, do you have any suggestions?"

"No, Gao Jian," Chang Ning said, "Just like the girl, let them build a house and plow the land and sow seeds at the same time."

He directly rejected Zhao Hanzhang's decision to build a house with bricks and stones, saying: "Just build a thatched house and let them have a place to stay first."

"But the thatched house is not warm," Zhao Hanzhang still wanted to get it right in one step. "I have already asked people to build a brick kiln, and the first furnace of bricks has been fired."

"But the girl has taken in too many people. It takes about ten days to build a masonry house with the same amount of labor, but it only takes two days to build a thatched house." Chang Ning said: "Girl, if you are willing, you should be willing to give. It is a top priority. The first step is to settle people down to calm the people’s minds, and the construction of brick and stone houses can be started next year, or even later.”

Fu Tinghan added: "It can be used as rewards in the future."

Zhao Hanzhang is a person who listens to advice. Although it consumes more manpower and time in general, building a thatched house is indeed a better idea.

She nodded.

The next step is to identify the resettlement sites within Xiping County, and then divide the people into teams and place them in each resettlement site.

This is a huge project, and the matter is still trivial. It cannot be done with just one order. Otherwise, it has been two days since Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan came up with a solution, why haven't they started yet?

Because since it is a team, it must have a team leader.

It is also necessary to prepare materials for each settlement site, and arrange the people who prepare the materials, distribute the materials, and transport the materials one by one.

Even in order to ensure their loyalty to Xiping County, no, it should be said to ensure their loyalty to Zhao Hanzhang, attention must be paid to their ideological education work.

Not to mention the various problems during the placement process.

Don’t ask too many questions such as whether I want to be on the same team with him or not.

To put it bluntly, both Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan are afraid of trivial things.

When Chang Ning came, Zhao Hanzhang very generously revealed his background to him and pushed all these trivial matters to him.

She just held the general direction, ran around, found some problems, and then solved some problems.

Fu Tinghan also prefers to do calculations in the county government office instead of going downstairs and being surrounded by people to solve things for everyone.

After Zhao Hanzhang and Fu Tinghan finished counting the resettlement sites, they drew a few circles with a red pen and said: "Special attention should be paid to these resettlement sites, and the people sent there should be extra loyal. The others can be randomly assigned after mixing."

Chang Ning stared at the resettlement sites, "This is..."

"These are defensive points," Zhao Hanzhang said without explaining too much, "If you master these points, there will be no more insurrectionary troops sneaking in and being discovered only when they arrive."

It can also control their escape route. If Xiping County cannot bear it in the future, they will have a way to escape.

Chang Ning watched for a while and had to raise his doubts, "The girl recruited so many people, but only left 1,200 troops?"

"Yes," Zhao Hanzhang said: "These 1,200 people are elite soldiers. When the county town stabilizes, I will only leave 200 troops in the city and move a thousand people outside the city to build additional military camps for training."

In this way, she will always have a vacancy of 1,800 men, and she can recruit troops when she wants. Of course, it is up to her to decide whether the recruited people will appear on the military roll.

"Then these," Chang Ning asked, pointing to the settlement points, "what do they count?"

Zhao Hanzhang looked at Chang Ning with a half-smile but said: "Good people, tenants, and long-term workers don't even exist. They serve the people when they are busy farming, and they serve as soldiers during war. They only do basic training in peacetime."

Although Chang Ning knew that the wealthy family was evil-minded, he never expected that he could be so evil. He followed Magistrate Chai. Although Magistrate Chai also secretly bought some fields and took in a few houses to cultivate the fields, he did not dare to hide such a large number of people. , not to mention that most of these people are still young and strong and can be soldiers.

Zhao Hanzhang knew that Chang Ning was not Ji Yuan. He had not been exposed to these things before, so he softened his tone and said, "Mr. Chang, you don't have to distinguish them deliberately. To you, they are the people of Xiping County. You only need to bear some of their mundane duties." That’s all, as for the rest, Zhao Ju will be responsible for it.”

Production is Mr. Chang's responsibility, but military training is Zhao Ju's.

Chang Ning heard it, and he was still a little puzzled, "Now the girl is the magistrate of Xiping County. Although she has no documents from the court, she has passed the path of being a governor. They are all your subjects, why do you want to specially treat them?" How about hiding yourself?"

Zhao Hanzhang sighed: "Because the taxes are too heavy."

A county magistrate laments heavy taxes, what else can Chang Ning say?

After a moment of silence, he acquiesced.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Zhao Hanzhang immediately smiled and said: "Then let's start allocating people to build houses in the resettlement sites tomorrow."

Chang Ning agreed.

But the house cannot be built immediately, because there are too many houses to be built at once, and there are not enough trees. The only way is to cut down the trees, but the cut wood has to be dried.
