In the past, the food industry was in a state of chaos.

Food is always the most important thing.

If eating is a problem, there is no question of prosperity.

Under the climate conditions of Jiuli, developing agriculture is actually a natural advantage. However, the sparse population makes the people living here unable to continue to cultivate wasteland.

It is a challenging thing for the villagers to cultivate the original land.

But with the help of Shutenmaru, it would be completely different. The productivity gap between the samurai and the ordinary villagers is like several generations apart. If the original villagers were at the production level of a small peasant economy. Then these samurai are completely equivalent to large-scale machine production.

With these laborers, a large number of fields can be opened up quickly.

In addition, Jiuli's climate means that as long as the first three months are passed, a huge harvest will be achieved. In addition, Jiuli will not have a period of slack farming like winter due to the climate that allows repeated planting throughout the year.

Maybe by next year, Jiuli's financial situation will completely change, and it may become a township second only to Baiwu.

This is not that Xia Lin looks down on other townships. It is really difficult to develop in climates like Tudon and Linghou. Let's not talk about anything else. For example, in Xia Lin's previous life, Maozi had such a vast territory in the east that there was no way to develop agriculture. Other natural resources may be sufficient, but it is too early for this country to develop things like natural gas.

"Lord Xia Lin, let me massage your shoulders." Xue Zi saw Xia Lin sitting aside, so she walked behind him to massage his shoulders.

Seeing her, Xia Lin thought of something.

"By the way, Xue Zi, when the Daimyofu is established, there will definitely be a lot of things to do. You can help me manage the finances first."

"Manage finances? Me?" Xue Zi asked in surprise.

Xia Lin nodded: "When Shutenmaru brings back the villagers who are willing to help with the construction, we will distribute the food to them. You can decide how much each person should get. When you are free, you can go and count how much food this village originally has. If it is not enough, let them go hunting in the mountains."

Xuezi nodded, and was a little timid for a while: "Can I do this well?"

"I can only ask you, we can't expect these thieves to understand this, right?" Xia Lin said helplessly. There are so many people in the whole Toushan, no, the whole Jiuli, and I am afraid that they know less than a hundred words in total. Only Yukiko learned a little from Kurozumi Orochi, and Xia Lin couldn't find any talents to use except her.

"Wait until things are really stable, then go to other villages to recruit some more."

Hearing this, the expression on Yukiko's face became firm and sacred: "Yukiko will definitely complete Lord Xia Lin's task!"

On the other side, Jiu Tianwan, who brought back the robbed women, caused a sensation as soon as he approached the village. The villagers hurriedly ran out in fear and knelt on the ground, begging them to show mercy.

Jiu Tianwan explained once, but even after seeing the young women they sent back, the villagers still looked at him half-believingly. In fact, they didn't believe it at all in their hearts, and thought that these thieves wanted to have fun in a different way now.

Who would have thought that the people of Jiuli, who had been oppressed for hundreds of years, would hear the news that the thieves had been pacified one day.

They didn't believe it in their hearts, but they didn't dare to say it out loud. When the women sent back by Jiu Tianwan also said so, they only believed it half. As for when Jiu Tianwan said that he needed some people to help build the Daimyofu, these people didn't dare to disobey.

No one thought that these bandits would give them a bite of food, but if they refused to go, what if they angered these people and were killed on the spot?

So those people expressed their willingness to obey orders.

Jiu Tianwan certainly would not take everyone away, otherwise there would be no one to do farm work, and there would not be enough food in the mountain village. He randomly selected some men and middle-aged women and asked them to wait in the village. After he sent all the women from other villages back, he would bring these people back to the mountain together.

The people he selected were both men and women. In fact, in Jiu Tianwan's opinion, these women were more useful than men.

These villagers actually could not contribute much. They could not lift the huge stones and beams for building the Daming Mansion. On the contrary, these women could help cook, and women had a small appetite.

Some.

Time passed slowly like this.

Suddenly, the Daming Mansion belonging to Xia Lin was built.

After those who came to help went back, they did tell the people in the original village what they saw during this period. They told how the thieves were humble and obedient in front of Xia Lin, which made them slowly believe that there was really someone who subdued those thieves.

Especially in the villages that Xia Lin and Xue Zi had visited, those people thought of what Xia Lin and Xue Zi had said at that time, and they lamented that they were blind and proud at the same time. It felt that such a great existence as Xia Lin actually had a meal in their village.

From now on, people living in Jiuli no longer have to worry about being robbed by thieves.

This alone made them burst into tears.

Although those thieves who were supposed to die were not executed, as long as they could survive, who would think of risking their lives to avenge those thieves? What's more, although they are not dead now, they have become Tianling Bugyo who maintains public order. Still under the order of the new daimyo, helping them to reclaim wasteland, this is already the best outcome.

Jiuli is poor and weak. In fact, even if Shutenmaru and others help to reclaim wasteland, the remaining food will hardly survive the first few months.

Yukiko originally wanted to write a letter to Kurozumi Orochi to find a solution, but was stopped by Xia Lin.

This is not a difficult thing in his opinion, because he has obtained the ripe fruit before. Although he has not fully received it yet, he can use its ability to a certain extent.

He directly used the fruit to ripen the first batch of crops planted, and solved this thorny problem at once.

However, this ability cannot be used too much because it consumes too much fertility of the land.

Fortunately, after solving the urgent problem, the rest is much simpler. Jiuli is vast and sparsely populated. Xia Lin plans to develop mixed agriculture that alternates animal husbandry and agriculture.

Jiuli's changes cannot be hidden from other townships. In fact, Xia Lin has never thought of hiding it.

He set up defenses at the border, and soon the Flower Capital noticed the changes in Jiuli.
