The reconstruction of Huaili City was launched vigorously, and the development of surrounding townships was also put on the agenda.

Everyone is very busy and has a fulfilling life.

Du Yong was naturally busy repairing his new house, holding the freshly baked layout diagram, frequently discussing details with the architect, and quickly settled the drawings.

There was no shortage of manpower. Nie Wentao evenly matched twenty people, Gao Qian and Boss Qu were also generous, and each of them evenly matched twenty soldiers.

There were a total of 60 people. Inspired by Du Yong's money, they worked very fast. While ensuring quality, the construction progress of the house was still visible to the naked eye.

Gao Qian and Boss Qu only sent a small number of spies out of the city to patrol, focusing on observing the junction of Ganqu and the two states. If there is any abnormal movement in Rufei's character camp, the spies will rush back to report as soon as possible.

Most of the troops are left in the city and rebuilding the city is still in the stage of cleaning up.

Nie Wentao took people to Ganzhou City, asked the General Administration for money, soldiers, and grain, and extracted information about the landlords in Huaili County.

Nie Qingyun has returned to the Ganzhou General Administration Office and personally met Nie Wentao. He has no objection to the request for military and food, and said that he will implement it as quickly as possible.

The money is still wrinkled, and the General Administration only provides the preliminary expenses for rebuilding the city, which can only last for about two months, but this has made Nie Wentao overjoyed.

After saying goodbye to Nie Qingyun, Nie Wentao took the roster to contact the landlords in Huaili City and gathered them together for a meeting.

Those who want to sell land can take action now and Mr. Du collects the land.

Those who don’t want to sell land and don’t want to go back to Huaili County can hand over the land to Huaili County Government for management, which will have certain benefits, but it is definitely not as high as that in peacetime.

After Nie Wentao finished speaking, many landlords expressed their desire to sell the land, hoping to discuss it with Mr. Du in person.

"Don't be excited, don't be excited!"

Seeing this hot scene, Nie Wentao was happy and held back. After everyone calmed down, he explained: "The bosses have a lot of land, and Mr. Du must not be able to collect it. He is not a rich man, so he will give priority to those close to the city and with preferential prices. This official must make a statement here that Mr. Du did not collect the land for the bottom of the purchase or for the purchase of property. He wanted to rent it to the people at a low price to make Huaili County stabilize as soon as possible."

After listening, everyone praised Mr. Du's kindness. Some landlords immediately expressed their willingness to set the price a little lower.

Nie Wentao said again: "Mr. Du is very busy now, busy pressing Feizi Camp and building the city. He will not return to Ganzhou City for the time being. The bosses should not want to go to Huaili City. You can talk directly to his housekeeper and let me testify."

The jade-pinned man beside him bowed: "Hello, bosses, I am Chen Yongren, the second housekeeper of Master Du. I will say one thing, and after reaching the intention, I will pay gold, silver, or silver notes on the spot, and you can choose."

After hearing the words paid on the spot, the landlords became more and more excited and rushed to talk to Pinyu.

Some landlords said that the land they were in their hands was ancestral property and could not be sold, but were willing to hand it over to Huaili County Government for temporary care. Nie Wentao expressed his gratitude and discussed various details with them.

The land affairs took two days to settle in a peaceful atmosphere.

Under the witness of the Ganzhou General Administration and Nie Wentao, Pinyuren received a stack of land deeds and paid a large number of gold and silver notes on the spot, which made people sigh at Du Yong's financial resources.

As for Nie Wentao, he signed many contracts and obtained temporary management rights for a large number of land. He did not pay any money and had to wait until there was output in the land before counting the money.

Several businesses in Ganzhou City heard Nie Wentao’s arrival and quietly came to the door, saying that they were willing to go to Huaili City to do business, hoping that the magistrate of Nie County could provide some preferential policies appropriately. Nie Wentao expressed his unlimited welcome, which was an unexpected surprise.

In addition, Nie Wentao also actively communicated with Sichuan, Ming, Sichuan and Ning counties, initially promoted the new policies of Huaili County, focused on promoting low land rents and current defense forces, and called on the people to return. If residents who originally lived in Huaili City could go back in time, they could get a house.

The county magistrates of Sichuan, Ming, Sichuan and Ning counties actively cooperated. They had previously received a large number of exiled people, most of whom were from southern Ganzhou. The two counties did not have so many jobs and could not sit idly by and watch the people starve to death, so they had to provide the minimum food, which put a lot of financial pressure on the two counties.

Promotion is not a matter of one or two days, Nie Wentao sent a team of men to stay.

The 1,000 elite troops agreed to by the General Administration have been selected, and the grain and silver are also ready. Nie Wentao led the team back to Huaili City. The merchants who wanted to do business and more than 500 ordinary people were all young and strong. They wanted to return to Huaili City to work.

Nie Wentao's trip was a great harvest. He sat on the horse and felt like he was flying.

There was nothing wrong on the road, and I successfully returned to Huaili City.

Du Yong was blowing on the city wall. After seeing the vast team, he thought it was an enemy attack. After a closer look, he found that Nie Wentao and Pin Yuren returned, and he was overjoyed.

The old man Qu next to him looked at him for a while, and laughed and said, "There must be 1,500 people, are they all laborers?"

Gao Qian observed more carefully: "One thousand of them are elite troops, with weapons, and the remaining five hundred should be the return people, and they all looked very excited."

Boss Qu nodded: "Then we have two thousand elite soldiers now, and we are not afraid even if Feizi Camp comes to attack the city."

Gao Qian glanced at him: "Are you not afraid of Mu Feixiong coming?"

Boss Qu remembered Mu Feixiong's feat of assassinating Nie Qingyun by forcing Mu Feixiong to the military camp, and was particularly scared. He said in a stern manner: "Not only Mu Feixiong, but also those old men from Jin Destruction Realm, we all need to be prepared."

Speaking of this, Boss Qu looked at Du Yong: "Brother Du, what are your good ideas?"

Du Yong said lightly: "If the masters of Jin Destruction Realm want to cause trouble, we can't stop them. Fortunately, there are not many masters of that level, so we can use people to pile up. I think the most important thing is to prevent ordinary enemy masters from sneaking in. If they become a scale, they are far more terrifying than the masters of Jin Destruction Realm. Therefore, people who have new cities must be strictly examined, especially those with martial arts. Those who do not cooperate can even be arrested and tortured."

Gao Qian and Boss Qu both nodded silently, feeling that it made sense.

The Chengnan tragedy in Ganzhou City is still in front of you, because ordinary enemy masters have become large and are difficult to suppress when they break out.

Boss Qu pointed to the team in the distance and asked, "Then these five hundred so-called return people need to be reviewed, right?"

Du Yong shook his head: "It's not appropriate to block the city gate now, because they are all very enthusiastic and cannot suppress this enthusiasm, so this wave of people should check it slowly. I don't think the problem is big. County Magistrate Nie should have a clear idea of ​​what this wave of people is."

Gao Qian tidied up his clothes and said with a smile: "To show kindness and discipline, let's go down to welcome him."

The three of them went down to the city wall and at Du Yong's suggestion, they hurriedly made several banners.

Welcome the county magistrate to return!

Welcome all fellow villagers home!

Welcome all kinds of merchants to visit!

Welcome the brothers of the elite team to settle in Huaili County!

There were people standing on both sides of the north gate, and welcoming them with banners. The scene was very lively.

Nie Wentao was caught off guard by this scene, but he quickly calmed down and waved his hands frequently, showing the calm demeanor that the county magistrate should have.

The five hundred people were stunned at first when they saw this situation, and then their faces became more and more excited.

As for those thousand elites, they were still quite calm. They saluted and responded to this lively welcome.

The jade man left the team, came to Du Yong, and handed over a small wooden box.

Du Yong took it and asked casually: "What's the matter?"

"Lot deed!"

Pinyuren replied, and then explained in detail: "There are all good land near the city, about 3,000 acres."

Du Yong didn't have a deep understanding of mu and asked, "How much does it account for?"

Pinyuren shook her head and spread her hands and said, "I don't know how much cultivated land there is in Huaili County, but Huaili County is so big, three thousand acres should account for a very small proportion. In fact, many bosses want to sell land, but most of the land is very remote, and even if they buy it, they cannot be planted. With the current military strength of Huaili City, it cannot be protected so widely."

Du Yong nodded slightly and asked again: "How many households can plant three thousand acres?"

Pinyuren smiled and said, "Look at the labor force. If each household is calculated based on two light labor force, it can be planted about six to ten acres."

Dahei echoed: "Six to ten acres are more reasonable. Planting too much land is not a good thing. When natural disasters come, farmers can't bear it. In addition to farming, they will also raise some chickens, ducks and geese, and they will also go to the mountains to harvest firewood and pick mountain goods, and try to expand their progress."

"oh!"

Du Yong nodded and quickly calculated in his heart: "If you calculate it in eight mu, you can satisfy about 400 households. This is a bit small. Even in a small town, there are more than 400 households."

Pinyuren smiled and said, "Young Master, there is not even a household yet. Although Lord Nie brought back five hundred ordinary people, they all wanted to work in the city to get money instead of farming."

Yang Jin praised: "Pinyu bought more than 3,000 acres and did a good job. Young Master, we should be more patient and not rush. Anyway, we don't plan to make money in a short time. When building a city, I will communicate more with the workers and sell the land at the same time. People will definitely be moved by the cheap land rent. Everything is difficult at the beginning, just a few shots will be easy to talk about in the future."

Dahei raised his hand: "I can assist Brother Yang."

"very good!"

Du Yong snapped his fingers and smiled, "Pinyu has worked hard to travel, have a good meal first, and then have a good rest."

The jade-pinned man thanked Du Yong and asked, "Young Master, how did you know that there would be merchants coming here? He even pulled a banner."

"Is there really a merchant?"

Du Yong was stunned and smiled and said, "I didn't think about so many banners."

Pinyuren whispered: "A few have come here. I probably found out that they are all old fried dough sticks with a strong family. This time, I came to Huaili City to seize the opportunity and make a big deal later. They are involved in grocery stores, pawn shops, brothels, restaurants and other businesses, and they have good connections. If they can successfully support them, they can greatly improve the development speed of Huaili City."

He Laosan rubbed his hands and said, "Young Master, we can help the business!"

Du Yong pointed at him: "Since you are so enthusiastic, then auxiliary jade sponsor."

He Laosan nodded: "Okay!"

Lingling raised her right hand, her face full of desire: "Young master, Brother Yang and Dahei sell land, Pinyu and the third brother help in business, what can Qingyao and I do?"

Qingyao immediately agreed: "Yes, young master, we must also do our best."

Du Yong thought for a while and said casually: "This way, you two will sell pancakes with me."

"ah?"

Not only Lingling and Qingyao were inexplicably confused, but Yang Jin and others were also very curious.

Du Yong smiled and said, "The pancakes are to be made, but not sold, but to provide benefits to the workers who work."

Lingling immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, but if it's just pancakes, isn't it a bit monotonous?"

Du Yong smiled and said, "It's good to make some fried food, braised food, or bone soup."

Qingyao nodded silently, she could do all this.

After the welcome ceremony, the grain is put into storage.

This time there were a lot of grain belts, but fortunately a large granary was cleaned and repaired in advance, so I could barely put it down.

Du Yong did not participate in the transportation of food, but took Yang Jin and others back to the house.
