The villagers happily drove the cattle into the cattle shed, put the pig into the pig pen, and placed the sheep, chicken and duck in the repaired sheep pen and chicken coop.

Looking at the plowing ox, piglets, goats, chickens and ducks, everyone's faces were full of joy and hope for the future.

After all, I have food in my hands, so I feel unhappy, let alone so many livestock.

After everyone placed the livestock and poultry, the villagers happily moved the farm tools, cloth, vegetable oil, salt, sorghum seeds and other supplies from the truck into the warehouse.

More than 200 refugees were squatting in the gravel drying ground, watching the villagers busy, their eyes were full of envy.

Among the crowd, there were more than a dozen men who were carrying their own tools, standing among the refugees as if they were cranes.

Gao Huan paid attention to them and asked, "Are those people hired craftsmen?"

Song Xiance drank a bowl of water and nodded and said, "Well, as the young master ordered, I invited the mason and carpenter."

Gao Huan smiled on his face and said to Song Xiance: "The military advisor thinks about a way to fool him, see if he can convince them to settle down in the village. I will give them the same treatment, divide the house and the land, and give them the wages!"

Song Xiance smiled, "I'll think of a solution!"

"Then let it go to the military advisor!" Gao Huan nodded, and then ordered Wang Jingde to take the craftsman aside and pour the tea on.

At this time, Song Xiance took out an account book from his arms and handed it to Gao Huan, "This is the list of materials I purchased, and there is also the price!"

Gao Huan opened it and saw it list in detail, the quantity and unit price of the items purchased were also clearly visible.

Song Xiance said: "If it were usual, the supplies that could be bought with a thousand taels of silver were only three times less than that. Unfortunately, prices soared, and oxen and farm tools were several times more expensive than before."

Gao Huan looked at the accounts, ten cows, six large and four small, ten taels of calf, and thirty taels of big cows, and more than two hundred taels of livestock and poultry, piglets, lambs, chickens and ducks, the prices were three times that of ordinary people.

Gao Huan frowned, "I remember that in the past, there were only seven or eight taels of strong cattle in the farm, and only three or four taels of strong cattle in the farm. The price did rise sharply."

"It's not only the price increase, but the key is that the war has caused the interruption of merchants and cannot buy anything at a price. I went to shops in Xuzhou and purchased these livestock and supplies at high prices in towns along the way, and then collected them." Song Xiance said.

The prices have risen so fiercely, it seems that it is necessary to take out a portion of the more than 2,000 taels of silver in your hand and buy materials for reserve.

Gao Huan asked: "How much has the grain price increased?"

Song Xiance said: "The rise in Yuzhou has reached three taels per stone, while the price in Xuzhou is cheaper, only two taels or five cents per stone!"

Gao Huan pondered: "I will give another thousand taels of military advisors. The military advisors will work hard to travel to Xuzhou, exchange all the money for food, and recruit a group of young refugees to come."

"Young Master, the grain price in Nanzhili was only one tael or one stone in the past. Henan and Nanzhili were adjacent to them. The grain traders there would definitely transport grain to Henan when they saw that it was profitable. The grain price would probably drop by then. We have enough food now. Is it necessary to buy a large amount at this time?" Song Xiance asked.

"The grain price cannot drop, and it will definitely rise again!" Gao Huan turned the railway firm.

Seeing that he was sure, Song Xiance couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

Because Zhang Xianzhong entered Huguang from Sichuan and broke Xiangyang, Wuchang and Changsha, forcing Yang Sichang to commit suicide, and the situation in Huguang was completely corrupt.

Huguang was the granary of the Ming Dynasty. When Zhang Xianzhong was disturbed, the grain production would inevitably be reduced and could not be transported out, which would definitely intensify the grain shortage in Henan, and the grain prices would probably rise to the sky.

Then he really had money and had no place to buy food. As far as Gao Huan knew, when Li Zicheng opened the closure, the grain in Kaifeng City would be exchanged for a large cake with a maximum of fifty gold.

These Gao Huans are naturally not easy to tell Song Xiance, so he pinched his fingers and acted like a mountain man, "I'm counting!"

Song Xiance has always made a living by fortune telling, but when he arrived at Gao Huan, his job was directly stolen, and he was allowed to make a living by fortune telling. He could only leave his old profession and make a living by his strength.

Song Xiance hurriedly said, "I obey the arrangement!"

Gao Huan nodded slightly, glanced at the refugees on the sauna, and said in a deep voice: "The army of crusades is approaching Luoyang, and Yuan Shizhong is in eastern Henan again. It will not take long for Zhang Xianzhong and Zuo Ge Fifth Battalion to fight back to Huguang. It is time for us to take action soon. The military advisor will definitely try to recruit more refugees here!"

Henan is the place where the four battles in the Central Plains are fought. Dengfeng is also located in central Henan. If it does not develop as soon as possible, Gao Huan will have no chance when the surrounding bandits grow.

Song Xiance was also worried, "Now that the east of Henan is disrupted by Xiao Yuanying. There are many refugees gathering outside the counties in eastern Henan, waiting for the government to open warehouses to provide relief. It is not difficult for the young master to recruit refugees. However, after there are too many refugees, there will probably be no food for food."

"The more people, the better!" Gao Huan waved his hand, "If there is not enough food, then attack Dengfeng County and destroy local tyrants like the Ma family!"

When he heard that he was going to attack Dengfeng County, Song Xiance was inspiration. He heard that the rebel army was approaching Luoyang and went to buy grain this time. He also learned that Yuan Shizhong captured several counties in Guide, and his little lord was still surrounding a small village.

Although Song Xiance felt that Gao Huan was different from the bandits outside, others had tens of thousands of people. There was only a small village here, and Song Xiance also saw it and was anxious about it.

"I have someone go and spread prophecies, post notices all the way, and attract refugees!" Finally, I was going to do a big fight, and Song Xiance's eyes flashed and he was full of energy.

"You have remembered the prophecy!" Gao Huan smiled and nodded, and the two discussed the details again. At this time, the sister-in-law of the Yang family and the women were already carrying a cylinder of jars, steaming hot and fragrant Hu La Tang floating from afar.

The refugees on the glutinous yard were in a stir, and each of them stretched their necks, and many children were swallowing hard.

This Hula soup is a Henan delicacy. Cook the mutton and gluten, then pour it into the lamb bone broth, add ginger, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, and until the soup thickens, then add vegetables, vermicelli, and cook for a while. It is enough to make the child cry with scallion oil pancakes, fried dough sticks, buns, steamed buns, etc.

When Gao Huan saw this, he immediately said to Song Xiance: "Military advisor, let's have a meal first!"

Nowadays, women give Song Junshi and Chi Bei, and craftsmen first serve Hu spicy soup. Personally, they can add an appropriate amount of sesame oil and vinegar to the bowl according to their personal taste.

Chi Bei and the villagers in the village were holding Hu La Soup, steamed buns and pancakes, and they all ate happily, which made the children among the refugees cry so greedy that they cried. The adults were also wriggling with Adam's apples and swallowed all their saliva.

The women first prepared the soup for Chi, and the villagers and craftsmen served soup. Finally, they called the refugees and shouted loudly: "I've drunk the soup and eaten the cakes. Everyone brought the bowls and chopsticks and lined up to have a meal!"

The refugees found bowls from their pitiful salutes and rushed up in a swarm.

At this time, Chi Bei scolded a few times after eating, maintaining order, and then learned to queue up to receive the soup. The people in front of them served Hu La soup and took steamed buns, bowed and thanked them constantly, and those who didn't receive it later kept snooping their heads and waiting with a look of anxious look.

When the villagers saw these refugees, they felt sympathy, but at the same time they felt a little superior. If the eldest young master had not led everyone to destroy locusts and fight against the local bandits, we might have been the same as these refugees.

"Don't worry, everyone has it! But when eating, don't forget that this is the kindness of our young master!" Wang Jingde kept order while shouting from the bottom of his heart.

The refugees had no time to respond. After receiving the food, they squatted in the glutinous yard and ate voraciously. No one spoke, there were only a burst of squeaks and a violent cough after choking.

After nearly two hours of this meal, I had no choice but to include the refugees, there were more than 700 people in the village. After lunch, I had to prepare dinner again.

At the burger drying ground, after a full meal, the refugees were energetic and improved. At this time, Song Xiance walked up to the crowd and said aloud: "This is our young master. Everyone wants to stay in Zhuangzi, listen quietly to the young master's lecture!"

The refugees looked at Gao Huan beside Song Xiance with all their eyes, with a hint of expectation in their eyes.

Gao Huan glanced at everyone, and he would protect these people from now on.

Gao Huan looked at the refugees for a while before speaking loudly: "I won't say much if I want to stay. If you are willing to stay, I will allocate the house to everyone, and divide the land according to the mouth of the mouth to provide seeds, oxen and food."

After hearing Gao Huan's words, the refugees did not respond. Seeing that they were a little disgusted, Wang Jingde hurriedly shouted: "Young Master, do you have any ideas? Why don't you say it out quickly?"

Among the numb refugees, an old man plucked up his courage and said, "Young Master, I don't know how much rent we have to pay in a year, and how can we repay your oxen, seeds and rations?"

Gao Huan said: "I provide the seeds for free, and the food is supplied until the autumn harvest. You don't have to repay these, but the rent will be charged 30%. In addition, no taxes will be charged, including taxes distributed by the court."

It would be nice if the refugees could have a meal, and they would be willing to give it to the landlords for free. After hearing Gao Huan's words, the old man was a little afraid to behave, "Then we can get 70% of the harvest."

Gao Huan nodded, "Yes, 70% of the city belongs to you, but during the slack season, all male men aged fifteen to fifty must participate in a month of military training, or serve me for one month of corvee. If the corvee service time exceeds one month, I will give you wages!"

The refugees had no choice at all. Gao Huan gave the conditions much better than farming for other landlords. Everyone just needs to eat, and now they can still get 70% of the harvest, so naturally they are willing.

At this time, a woman stood up in the crowd and asked, "Young Master, there are no men in the family, can you give me land?"

Gao Huan glanced at the woman. She looked pale and thin, and was less than twenty years old. She was carrying a child one or two years old behind her back.

"If there is no male, farming may not be possible!" Gao Huan shook his head, saw the woman's eyes dim, and then smiled and said, "But you can stay and feed cattle and raise chickens. I will pay for the wages, raise well, and there are rewards!"

"Thank you, thank you!" The woman was so moved that she cried bitterly.

Gao Huan immediately instructed Li Wu to allocate houses for refugees such as Ding and others to settle them down.

I was speechless all night, and the village was very quiet at night. Occasionally, a few crying of children added some fireworks to the village.

The next day, Gao Huan asked Chi Bei to resume training, while Li Wu divided the Yongye fields and the tenants to divide the fields for the villagers and tenants. Each family divided the fields and obtained tools. The villagers of the entire village were involved in the busy rush to rush to plant.

More than ten miles away, the tenants in Majiazhuang were also sweating profusely, but unlike the smiles on the faces of the villagers in Liuzhuang, the tenants in Majiazhuang were weeded by a whip.

At this time, in the cotton field, the black tiger was dragging a wounded leg and his movements were slower. A Ma family servant immediately whipped it with a whip, "Dog thing, don't you give me a hurry!"
