"Mr. Changsun, immediately notify all the centurions in the barracks to come to the general's mansion to collect corn seeds and take people to plant corn in the fields."
The people were all starving and had no energy to farm, but Xiao Yunzhan was worried that some of them would not be able to resist and eat the corn seeds.
The starving people could not resist eating the grain they had obtained.
Adults might be fine, as they have the God-King weighing on their hearts, but children don't have that much patience.
Cooked corn smells so good that some people start stealing it. Once they get a taste of the sweetness, they can't stop.
Last night, the whole family had a corn feast: corn pancakes, corn porridge, corn cakes, salt and pepper corn kernels, corn and pork rib soup, roasted corn...
Thinking about it now, his mouth still keeps drooling, it was simply too delicious.
And the corn juice has a sweet and fragrant taste, it’s so delicious.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Chang Sun Dongcai accepted the order with a smile, turned around and strode out of the general's mansion.
There is nothing to do with 60,000 to 70,000 soldiers sitting idle, so it would be a good idea to return them to farming.
The soldiers are strong and can plant faster.
Prefect Tian watched Zhang Sun Dongcai leave with envy on his face, then looked at Xiao Yunzhan with pursed lips, waiting for his instructions.
Now that the soldiers are used up, the people should have something to do.
He didn't think that the God King would keep idle people, after all, Emperor Wu of Liang was still the emperor in the capital.
As long as they fail to overthrow Emperor Wu of Liang, they will have to do something.
Xiao Yunzhan's throat rolled over, he swallowed quietly, and looked towards Prefect Tian.
"Master Tian, go and inform all the people in the city to gather at the parade ground."
Prefect Tian looked at Xiao Yunzhan in bewilderment, "Do you need the people to bring anything?"
Could it be that such a large area of land as the parade ground is also used to grow corn?
However, the land of the parade ground was trampled hard by the soldiers, and asking these hungry people who could hardly walk to plant crops there would probably delay things.
Xiao Yunzhan smiled and said, "Just go. Let all the people go and notify the chief clerks of each county to bring their household registration books and gather at the parade ground."
"Household register!" Magistrate Tian muttered in confusion. Thinking of the newly arrived refugee soldiers, he quickly replied, "Yes, I'll go and notify them right away."
How could he have forgotten about those refugee soldiers who were still living in the military camps that were vacant during the war?
That military camp was built specifically for the reinforcements to rest. The houses there were all very simple and could barely shelter them from the wind and rain.
There was nothing in the room except wooden boards for lying down and sleeping, so it was indeed necessary to arrange accommodation for these soldiers.
Among these soldiers, there seemed to be one named Zhu who was very popular with General Long. He was very smart and a talented person. He just wanted to find an opportunity to get to know him, and now the opportunity had come.
After watching Magistrate Tian leave, Lin Yiran turned to Shang Lu and said,
"Go and inform Zhu Changshou to bring everyone from Zhujia Village here."
"Yes!" Shang Lu responded and ran out following Lord Tian.
"The people of Zhujia Village are quite serious about their work. We divided them into two teams. One team stayed at the General's Mansion to help the sisters-in-law distribute corn seeds, and the other team followed us to the military parade ground."
Lin Yiran withdrew her gaze from Shang Lu's back and looked at Xiao Yunzhan.
She and Xiao Yunzhan were going to the military training ground, and the three sisters-in-law would definitely not be able to handle the distribution of corn seeds alone.
There is only one servant, Shang Lu, in the general's mansion now, and he can't help much.
"You arranged it very well." Xiao Yunzhan looked at Lin Yiran with certainty, then raised his eyelids and looked at his sisters-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, third sister-in-law, thank you for distributing corn seeds in the mansion. Each hundred households will receive two bags of corn seeds."
"Mom, please work harder and take those hundred households to the fields to demonstrate how to grow corn."
As for which piece of land each hundred households were responsible for, this matter was arranged by Changsun Dongcai. He was more familiar with the fields in Shuitian City.
"By the way, Mom, take those refugee soldiers with you to farm some land."
Those refugee soldiers were much stronger than the Xiao family's private soldiers. After all, they had never gone hungry since they followed them.
It is not a bad thing for tens of thousands of people to lie in the camp. They are all farmers, so farming is more convenient for them.
"Okay, don't worry, fourth brother, we will arrange it." Wan Suyun nodded and had no objection to the arrangements.
Yao Wenhong and Zheng Yunyun had even less objection. Distributing corn seeds was a very important matter, and they had to keep a close eye on it.
"No problem. I haven't farmed for many years. I'm going to give it a try this time."
Old Madam Xiao smiled heartily and was very interested in farming.
Only when she was still a girl would she often go to the farm to play and work in the fields.
After I got married, there were too many things to do in the mansion, so I almost never went to the farm. Occasionally I went there to check the account books.
Soon, Zhu Changshou brought the people from Zhujia Village to the general's mansion.
There are only 128 people in Zhujia Village, and all men, women, young and old followed to Shuitian City.
The youngest is only five years old. He trains with the adults every day and never complains.
The oldest one is almost sixty years old, but he still gets up early every day to run two laps, for fear that he will drag down Zhujia Village and affect its transformation.
Not to mention the women, they are even more hardworking than the female soldiers under Yao Wenhong. They do what men can do, and if men can't do it, they will grit their teeth and try it. They are very motivated.
In other villages, men and women are separated, and the female soldiers are all under Yao Wenhong's command. Only in Zhujia Village are men and women mixed together.
