Xie Ling thought for a moment, "I understand. It's not just a soil fertility issue. Using manure can help improve soil fertility, but it's only a temporary solution."
Because the land lacked nitrogen and potassium, Xie Ling told Shi Hua about this but he didn't understand, so he simply didn't say anything and just said, "I'll give you a solution in a few days. You can first tell the farmers to apply some manure."
Shi Hua nodded and hurried away, eager to spread the news.
As an official in charge of agriculture, he was the one who most hoped that farmers would increase their grain production.
A few days later, the court's verdict came down.
All the members of the Feng and Si families were taken to the Changshou military camp and executed in the autumn.
As for property and wealth, of course they were all confiscated.
However, Gu Wei doesn't want to give all these good things to the public.
By using some tricks, the Feng and Si families' assets were reduced by three quarters, and only one quarter was reported.
Anyway, with a genius like Gao Cunyi in the Ministry of Revenue, making falsified accounts is really easy for him.
As for the three quarters of the property, Xie Ling bought them at a low price and registered them under his own name.
On the second day, Gu Wei was ordered to escort people from the Feng and Si families to Changshou Military Village.
Gu Wei really had no good impression of this Chang Shou military settlement.
Because when they first came to Lingnan, the soldiers who were stationed in the military settlement committed crimes under the name of another military settlement, and he happened to catch them.
The leader of the Changshou military settlement is probably a difficult one.
Gu Wei brought Xie Ling, Wu Daqiang, Gao Cunyi and Xu Xingzhi with him.
There are always military garrisons in Lingnan.
It is said to be a military settlement, but in fact it is a city. Its original name was Changshou City, but it was managed as a military settlement.
Thousands of tents were stationed on the flat ground, and from a distance they looked like big bulging mounds. The sun was hot at this time, and the soldiers were eating lunch, squatting beside the tents in groups of three or five.
In the distance, the prisoners were storing canal sand, so tired that they could not straighten their backs. Further away were the low wooden houses where the prisoners lived, which were densely packed.
Inside the commander's tent, Wang Shouyi, the commander of the military garrison, was looking at the documents sent from the court, his sword-like brows furrowed tightly.
He has a face that can be described as elegant and easy-going. His face is slightly long, his nose is high, and his deep double eyelids reveal a bit of ruthlessness, letting people know that he is not a simple character.
"Oh, this Zhou Shijing is really amazing. He has been in Sinan County for half a month and has uprooted the two local snakes, the Feng family and the Si family."
The scholar standing nearby nodded, "He is indeed a character, and we must be careful in dealing with him. Also, the soldiers who were sent out to cause trouble in the Changning military settlement came back a few days ago and said that they met the magistrate of Sinan County..."
Wang Shouyi narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Were you discovered?"
The scholar nodded and sighed, "The county magistrate is very clever. He discovered that those soldiers are from our regular military camp."
Wang Shouyi was so angry that he slammed the document on the desk and cursed fiercely: "Useless!"
The scholar bowed and said respectfully: "General, please don't be angry. I have a plan..."
————
Gu Wei and his men set out in the morning and arrived at Changshou Military Village in the afternoon.
There are three county towns in Lingnan, Sinan, Lingshan and Yong'an.
There were two military settlements, Changshou Military Settlement and Changning Military Settlement.
Three of the county towns are very far away, and only Changshoujuntun is the closest to Sinan County.
But the territory of Changshou Military Tun is much smaller than that of Sinan County. Sinan County is the largest city in Lingnan, with a vast territory, mountains and seas. It is also adjacent to Canglan Prefecture of Nanzhao Kingdom. Its geographical location can be said to be the best.
At this moment, Gu Wei and his men were standing at the entrance of the military settlement, listening to the neat slogans of the soldiers training in the distance, which were overwhelming and louder than the last.
Xie Ling looked into the distance and said, "There are quite a lot of soldiers stationed here."
Xu Xingzhi nodded. "Changshou Military Station and Changning Military Station occupy almost all the troops south of Beijiang River. If there is a conflict with Yunqin or Nanzhao, troops will be transferred from these two military stations."
Xie Ling glanced at Gu Wei and said, "Then doesn't this military commander have certain abilities? Does he know Gu Wei?"
Gu Wei shook his head, "Probably not. I was in Mobei and spent every day training soldiers. I seldom went out to socialize. When I returned to Shangjing, I only showed up at the imperial palace banquet and left. If I really know him..."
Gu Wei lowered his voice when he reached this point.
Everyone understood.
If you really recognize him, you have to take the initiative.
There were nearly a thousand soldiers and prisoners in total. They formed a huge crowd at the entrance of the military settlement, and their presence was quite noticeable. The soldiers who usually guarded the military settlement were looking out curiously.
The soldiers led by Wu Daqiang all stood up straight, neither arrogant nor impatient, looking straight ahead, and they won first in terms of temperament.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Wang Shouyi finally arrived, followed by a tall and thin scholar.
He was wearing light armor, with his arms open, and walked straight towards Wu Daqiang. After hugging Wu Daqiang, he laughed and said, "County Magistrate Zhou, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. There have been too many things to do recently. Not long ago, the court sent another batch of exiled prisoners. Alas, now you've sent another batch. I'm really..."
Wu Daqiang was confused, he pushed Wang Shouyi away, pointed at Gu Wei and said: "General Wang, you must have made a mistake, that is Lord Zhou."
Wang Shouyi was stunned for a moment before he turned his gaze to the noble young man standing beside him.
He laughed dryly, "Ha, ha, ha, I was blind. I didn't expect County Magistrate Zhou to be so young. It's true that heroes emerge from youth!"
Gu Wei chuckled, "No problem."
Then he pointed backwards and said, "Behind me are the prisoners from the Feng and Si families. Please take them away and discipline them properly. We'll leave first."
