Yue Fei frowned and listened quietly, but from his clenched fists, it was enough to see that his mood was not so calm: "Xu Qing, take these people to the city center and execute them all in front of the people!”
After looting the Hong Family, Yue Fei sent people to investigate Gu City openly and secretly, and then cleared out the remaining aristocratic families in Gu City one after another.
These gentry clans were all evil.
It had to be said that looting was really a huge profit!
In just one afternoon, Xu Qing had finished looting the houses of many aristocrats in the city.
According to the statistics, the total amount of money seized was six million taels of silver and seven hundred thousand taels of gold. As for the other antique paintings, there were countless of them.
As for the title deed, he had obtained more than half of the land in Home Valley County.
Looking at the many gold, silver, and jewels in front of him, Yue Fei did not expect that the wealth of a part of the aristocratic families in Xiangyang could reach so much.
It was no wonder that Xiangyang's tax revenue had not been able to rise in recent years. It turned out that most of the tax revenue was on these aristocratic lords.
However, the accumulation of these gentry clans over the years now belonged to him.
With money, Yue Fei was not stingy. With a wave of his hand, everyone in the army was rewarded with five taels of silver.
However, he had just given out the silver when Jia Xu rushed over with a civil official.
Seeing Jia Xu panting as he watched, Yue Fei, who was in a good mood, joked,""Wen He, what's wrong with you? Don't tell me you know that I just raided your house and want to reward me!”
"My lord!"
"Wenhe has something to discuss!"
"Due to the desperation of a few aristocrats, they set fire to the granary in Gu City!”
"By the time we were discovered, the granary had already been burned to the ground! Not only were the 600,000 dans of grain stored inside burned, but even the seed grain reserved for next year was also burned!”
Jia Xu speechlessly looked at the relaxed Yue Fei and said.
" What?!"
After Yue Fei heard it, his originally happy mood suddenly turned bad!
"Sigh, my lord, there are only 100,000 dans of grain in the valley city that General Xu Qing just raided. However, this is not enough for the 100,000 troops and 300,000 civilians!”
Jia Xu looked at Yue Fei with a bitter face. He was not a god, and he really had no way to solve the problem of rations. He could only come to find Yue Fei for help!
"Grain!"
" Grain!!"
Yue Fei muttered a few times. Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something.
When he transmigrated, the system rewarded him with a big gift bag.
After he opened the big gift bag, he seemed to have drawn 300,000 dans of grain.
As the provisions and supplies were supplied by the court, he did not take it to heart.
At this moment, he could take it out to deal with emergencies.
He knew the expenditure of the army like the back of his hand. This 300,000 dans of grain was enough to sustain an army of 100,000 for a month.
As for the seeds, he seemed to remember that the system had rewarded him with a bag of sweet potato seeds.
"System, can I exchange my 300,000 dans of grain now? Also, how many sweet potato seeds are there in this bag?”
Ding! 300,000 dan of grain could be exchanged immediately. The other bag of sweet potato seeds could be used to grow 100,000 mu of land!
After hearing the system's answer, Yue Fei roughly calculated the land near Lower Valley City.
There was a big river near Gu City, so the cultivable area in Xiangyang was relatively small, only 300,000 mu.
According to the maturity and production of the sweet potatoes, in three months, 100,000 mu of sweet potatoes would be able to harvest 3,000,000 dan of grain!
Thinking of this, Yue Fei suddenly made a decision!
He wanted to plant the sweet potatoes in Gu City before leaving. This way, he would not be short of food in three months!
"System! He placed 300,000 dans of grain and sweet potato seeds under the newly burned granary!”
After Yue Fei instructed the system, he looked at Jia Xu and said,""Wenhe, don't worry too much about the rations. I've already received information that the Hong Family has secretly placed 300,000 rations in the underground warehouse! Send someone to take it out!"
"In addition, there is a batch of seeds in the warehouse that can grow 100,000 mu of land. These seeds can mature in three months, and their production is high.”
" That's impossible!!!"
Jia Xu looked at Yue Fei in a daze. Although he was not very proficient in farming, he was very clear that it was already considered a high yield to produce five and a half stones of grain per mu of land.
According to Yue Fei's calculations, this so-called seed could actually produce 300,000 mu!
However, what Jia Xu thought was not important.
Early the next morning, Yue Fei got someone to post a notice.
The next day.
There was a notice posted at every intersection in Gucheng County.
Beside the notice, there was a dedicated person in charge of reciting.
Seeing this scene, many commoners gathered around, wanting to see what instructions the King of Xiangyang, who had killed so many corrupt officials, had.
"Everyone, don't push!"
Seeing that the people had gathered around, the person in charge of reciting shouted,"The notice is to tell everyone that the King of Xiangyang is urgently recruiting a large number of experienced farmers to plant grain for the King of Xiangyang! As long as he completed the daily farming task, he would receive two catties of dry rations and a consistent amount of copper coins every day!”
"If we can complete the task more than we can, we can get more copper coins or food!”
"If there are people who want to register, go to the city gate to register now!”
