The smell of fish soup on the fire was emitted, and the Nord guards took the opportunity to bring several bowls of fish soup.
Qin Hao, Zhuge Xuan, Li Yi, and Li Guo were sitting around a bonfire, feeling very uncomfortable as the warm and moist evening breeze blew across their cheeks.
The only person missing was Chen Hu. He had been leading troops to suppress bandits in the mountains these days, so he did not come to this small gathering.
Qin Hao was in a very good mood while drinking the stomach-warming and fragrant fish soup.
Looking around at the three people, their faces were obviously darker. It seemed that they had been working hard in the past half month.
Especially Li Yi, who has been training the recruits hard these days, sweating profusely under the scorching sun, and has scratches all over his body and face, which makes him look particularly hardworking among the three. However, fortunately, he has become much stronger physically and mentally. Calm down.
Tomorrow Qin Hao plans to test this new army formed by villagers and see how the training has been these days.
Qin Hao knew in his heart that the cavalry-cutting system would not recruit many soldiers, and they could only be used as elites. For large-scale battles in the future, soldiers would still need to be trained.
"Zhuge Xuan, please summarize the political affairs of the past few days." Everyone was busy in the past few days. Qin Hao hadn't heard Zhuge Xuan's report for a while, so he took advantage of today to take a good look at the results of the past half month.
Zhuge Xuan had already lost his temper and wanted to report the situation. He had encountered many problems in the past half month, but he had also gained a lot. After receiving Qin Hao's approval, he immediately put down the wooden bowl in his hand and said .
In terms of the number of village communities, there used to be about 12, large and small, scattered throughout the hills and plains, making management extremely inconvenient.
Therefore, changes will be made in the future, and three large village communities will be initially established to develop cities and towns.
The original village where Li Yi stayed was the first village to be built, named Honghui Village. The second village community was built on the basis of Gujiazhuang and renamed Pingyuan Village. The third village community was a village belonging to the Gaoshan ethnic group. The residence is named Bamboo Forest Village because it is close to a bamboo forest.
The three villages now have more than 50,000 acres of paddy fields and 20,000 acres of dry land. Grain seeds have been planted one after another according to the plan, and some sweet potato seedlings have also been replanted in the newly reclaimed land. As long as there are no major natural disasters this season, it will definitely be a good harvest.
In terms of population, there are more than 800 people brought back from the bandit camp, plus about 2,000 people in the local village community. The number of registered households counted the day before yesterday was 609, and the population has exceeded 3,000 people. In addition, people are coming here one after another. .
Qin Hao nodded and indicated that the base is now small and everything is not developing very fast.
However, from the data point of view, everything is not bad now, but the per capita 30 acres of cultivated land is not enough yet. There is no need to rush this. With the newly cultivated fields, it will be enough in about a month.
"How do you deal with those people who come to us?" Qin Hao is still a little worried about these outsiders. It is difficult to ensure that there are not some vicious people among them.
"Going back to Your Highness, a small number of them are from the Gaoshan tribe. I heard that Your Highness will give them 30 acres of paddy fields, so they happily dragged their families down the mountain.
Most of the rest came from the south and heard about His Highness's policies. "
"Well, you must handle the affairs of the Gaoshan people well, not only with the Han people, but also with them themselves, and be fair and just." Qin Hao reminded.
At this time, the Gaoshan tribe is not actually composed of one ethnic group. There are many branches within his tribe, some of which live in harmony, and some of which hate each other. Therefore, Qin Hao takes a fancy to this and tells Zhuge Xuan to pay more attention to it and try to divide and conquer them to ensure stability. For the most important.
"As for those who come from the south, we will accept all orders, but don't take the initiative to recruit people from the south."
According to the current timeline, Zheng Zhilong, a great pirate in the late Ming Dynasty, has inherited Li Dan’s maritime power and is now the undisputed overlord in the Ming Dynasty waters. He is constantly fighting with the Dutch in Southeast Asia. At the same time, he has also begun to recruit refugees from the Ming Dynasty. Build the foundation of Taiwan and become a king on your own.
"It's Your Highness." Zhuge Xuan carefully wrote down the points raised by Qin Hao one by one for future arrangements.
"By the way, I received a letter from home yesterday. The person who wrote the letter was Li Chun, saying that he wanted to come to my place to practice." Qin Hao took advantage of the situation and gave Zhuge Xuan a look, hoping that he would understand his intention.
When Qin Hao came through time travel, he was very cautious in everything he did. He had underestimated Chen Hu before, so he was even more cautious. I no longer look down upon the ancients. Everything is justified and everyone has a place.
"Oh, Your Highness, that boy is coming too!" Zhuge Xuan pretended to be surprised, squinting his eyes and smiling, "I don't know how he studied in Europa. I will give him a good test when he comes. teach him."
Li Yi and Li Guo sat on the ground, quietly drinking fish soup and eating fish meat, while listening carefully to the conversation between His Highness and Lord Zhuge, but there were always some words that they couldn't quite understand. What is Europa?
Seeing the confusion on their faces, Qin Hao did not hesitate to give him some advice: "This Europa is the name of the land of the Western countries. It is thousands of miles away and is the hometown of those big men with red hair and yellow hair and high noses that you have seen."
"oh oh!"
The two of them nodded in understanding, but they didn't really care. After all, they were too far away.
Not long ago, when Qin Hao recruited French gunmen, it caused quite a stir.
It was OK for those whose ancestors were from the coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty. Most of them had heard of these blond Europeans. They had seen pigs run even if they had not eaten them. They were just a little curious. They came to see them and left.
However, the refugees and mountain tribesmen from Shaanxi and Huguang had never heard of them. When they first met them, they thought they were messengers of ghosts and gods. They were scared and chased them with hoes that touched the ground.
Fortunately, Qin Hao was present, and Li Yi and others hurried to explain, eliminating an unnecessary dispute.
Otherwise, even if Qin Hao asked them not to use muskets, just based on their well-trained martial arts, they were really worried that the villagers would be beaten to a pulp by these French soldiers.
After that, their fear was eliminated, but they were still talking behind their backs, saying that these people did not look like good people, which made Qin Hao laugh and cry for a while.
Qin Hao was also surprised by these French musketeers.
The previously summoned Mounted Blade soldiers, Shuntian Death Soldiers and Liaodong Iron Cavalry aside, are all Ming Dynasty soldiers, while the Nord guards and Alai archers, their faces under the masks are also oriental faces.
Qin Hao once mistakenly believed that all the soldiers recruited from the Mounted Blade system were oriental faces, until the arrival of this group of French musketeers.
Qin Hao pondered for a long time and didn't understand what was going on, so he simply gave up and said that they were soldiers sent by the family, but they were not local, but recruited. Anyway, no one dared to question what he said.
Calculating Chu Jian's family background, Qin Hao was quite relieved. He was just a single person when he came, and in less than a month, he had become a small tyrant with 3,000 people under his rule and 40 to 50 elite soldiers under his command.
