Not long after the New Year's Eve, four magistrates except Majiagang all sent the situation in the county to the Military Government Office for reporting on their work.

In the first year, everything was in trouble.

Several magistrates reported their work for the first time, and wrote a thick stack of official documents, which made unified reports from the various aspects of the local people, reclaiming land, collecting taxes, building canals and trenches, building cities and villages, planning townships, industrial production, local specialties and editing county annals.

Chen Mu could feel from several pages of paper how hard the magistrates were in order to make the report better.

The best development is undoubtedly Changsheng and Jincheng counties, which have the most immigrants. After three difficult months, Changsheng County has enough food to eat and drink. In autumn and winter, it absorbs the indigenous people like whales and cattle. Now the population is nearly 200,000, ranking among the top of all counties.

However, Zou Yuanbiao was not the one who reclaimed the most land. In addition to the plan of nearly a thousand villages to increase the land at first, Zou Yuanbiao was busy in the days that it absorbed a large number of immigrants. Some villages were not suitable for living, and some villages were unwilling to farm. Finally, by the end of the year, there were only 842 villages left.

Even so, some villages still have more labor and less output, making it difficult for the people to survive; some villages have less labor and insufficient land reclamation, which makes the people also have difficulty in living.

In his official document on his performance, Zou Yuanbiao wrote about his plan for Changsheng County in the seventh year of Wanli. He hoped to streamline the villages in the county into three cities and twenty-four townships, three cities divided the city and the port city, and a total of 24 townships under the jurisdiction of 500 villages.

The extra people will either move eastward to Mexico City or northward to New County. It is not that Changsheng County is not enough to support so many people, but that too many people and too large areas will cause serious waste of resources in the county.

Because Changsheng's agriculture is developing very well, this land is about planting wheat, corn, and various beans, but the road conditions are not very good, and the market is not prosperous enough, not to mention that the climate and lack of carrying livestock make it difficult to preserve and trade food.

They can guarantee food rations, but the commodity food rate is extremely low.

The grain can be stored in its own warehouse for several months, but once you want to take it out and transport it to Changsheng Market, a rain can make most of the food that has become a truck of grain moldy.

Zou Yuanbiao spent all his efforts to preserve the county's grain. Sugar pressing mills, oil pressing mills, and feed mills were all opened, hoping to turn all crops into cash crops to increase the enthusiasm of the people in the county to grow.

In the end, we started raising pigs, not only pigs, cattle, sheep, and turkeys. We first made ale fermented glutinous rice in the county, and then introduced several beer and rum craftsmen from Spain, and solved the problem of industrial glass.

But what Zou Yuanbiao did was invested in long-term development to see the return. The sharp increase in the returns of the Changsheng win in one or two years is expected, but now, in terms of political achievements, Changsheng win is not the best one.

Wu Zhongxing, the magistrate of Jincheng, was even more powerful. This magistrate, who was born in the literary world, drew more than 130,000 people from all over the country, dug gold mines inside to cut forests and harvest wood, and seized nitroso from the outside to the north to the east.

A year of refining 34,000 taels of gold ingots, cutting 79,000 pieces of good timber, and boiling 18,000 kilograms of salt. However, he did not farm, but he relied on the Mongolian cavalry under Magui to draw a map of 1,400 miles from north to south and 2,200 miles from east to west.

In fact, the problems faced by Changsheng Zou Yuanbiao are quite a lot of Wu Zhongxing in Jincheng, but they can't stand the mines. Even if there are two large gold and copper mines run by the military government, the four small mines jointly run by the military government and Fujian merchants will receive 2,300 taels of gold and 11,600 kilograms of copper ingots in a year.

The precious metals and nitrate powder were sent to Changsheng. The garrison's salary was Magui's governor's office from Changsheng. He only cared about food. The magistrate was ten thousand times more comfortable than Zou Yuanbiao. He tried his best to figure out who to fight another battle.

Wu Zhongxing's war on the Blackfooted Man had an impact on the editor of the Hanlin Academy, who was born in Jinshi, as it was the influence of the establishment of the Nanyang Military Prefecture on the Ming Dynasty.

Just like the court suddenly discovered that in the past, in addition to the defensive war against the north, overseas wars can make money by changing their thinking.

The editor-in-chief also tasted this sweetness. He fought with the Blackfoot and directly harvested thousands of returned slaves. After they became the people of Jincheng, Wu County found that he was invincible in this land. The tribes nearby rushed to surrender, and then met those tribes that were difficult for others to deal with, and those who saw him became hospitality.

Trade, negotiation, access, and exploration are all very easy.

When it was said that it would be solved, Wu Magistrate thought that the word was not appropriate enough. Before the knife was handed out, the rope opened itself.

In Wu Zhongxing's performance report, the editor's outlook for next year is to try to move Magui to 500 miles eastward, and in the future, according to the efficiency of fighting a war a year, move 500 miles eastward every year, so as to try to reach the other end of the map as soon as possible.

"Look at how enterprising Wu Zidao is, you can raise pigs here."

Zou Yuanbiao was a miserable person among several county magistrates. Others only reported their work as a report to the Dongyang Military Office. The military office stipulated that the magistrates of the counties would personally report their work as soon as possible, but he was different. The military office was in his Changsheng County, so he naturally had to report his work as a person.

If you report your job personally, you will inevitably be ridiculed by Chen Mu.

This has nothing to do with whether he is doing well or not. As long as he comes, Chen Mu will dispel his little pride.

"In the report, I did not see the expedition team sent to the north and south, and the previous battles that took place in Changsheng and the Silver Mountains of Tasco. I will write them back and add them all."

What do I mean to raise pigs here?

Zou Yuanbiao felt very wronged. He worked hard all day long and had lost all his hair. There were so many cash crops in the county and all kinds of factories were opened. In the end, this is the evaluation?

"Master, even if there is a mine in Jincheng, the people I always win will be richer than the people in Jincheng. Not to mention the distance, you can see in two years that the output of Changsheng can be several times larger than that of Jincheng. Besides, don't Jincheng also raise geese?"

Jincheng did raise geese, and the order was given by Chen Mu, not only to make roast goose, but also to provide down to make military uniforms for the Majiagang garrison.

This idea does not come from Chen Mu, but was proposed by Li Shizhen in "Compendium of Materia Medica". The duck down jackets and quilts are warmer than other materials. Ye Mengxiong sent this news through the Second Period of the Banner Army. In order to support Qi Jiguang's Northern Expedition on paper, the Ming Dynasty was also making duck down jackets and goose down jackets.

"Of course I know, but these performance reports are not only written for me, but also have to wait for the third period of the flag army to come and take them back for the emperor to see. Your Majesty is enterprising. Your approach to Changsheng is naturally right, but you must have the best of both worlds and make Your Majesty happy to read it."

"The expedition team should also come up with results as soon as possible. You must know that this is a New World, not a county in the Ming Dynasty. It is good to have a large land management in one place, but there is still so much land that has not been developed and we do not have any understanding of so much land. This matter is more important at the moment."
