After recruiting Guo Jia, Zhao Mu started to select the site and design for the capital construction project in Xu County.
The current Xu County was just a small county that had been affected by the war.
Zhao Mu was about to start the basic construction here, and there was almost no resistance at all!
An important place?
He went straight to the government office to get the approval.
Want someone?
As soon as the treatment was revealed, many refugees and poor local people came in droves.
There was no lack of skilled craftsmen among them!
Considering that spring plowing was coming, Zhao Mu's priority was to reclaim farmland and build irrigation works.
The drought in Guanzhong would not spread to Xu County.
However, if Xu County was short of grain, it would be difficult to purchase grain normally.
The priority was always to solve the problem of food and clothing in Xu County.
What was that?
Zhao Mu isn't County Magistrate Xu, so there's no need for him to solve the problem of food and clothing for County Magistrate Xu?
Zhao Mu came to Xu County to invest in construction. If Xu County was so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat, how could they get any returns from the investment?
County Magistrate Xu was also eager to have more people like Zhao Mu.
The richer Xu County was, the more capable he was as the County Magistrate!
On the other side, Cao Song's hundreds of millions of assets were also transported to Xu County in batches under Zhao Mu's arrangement.
The refugees who couldn't survive in Yan and Yu heard about the recruitment in Xu County and rushed to Xu County.
Zhao Mu did not refuse anyone.
A portion was used for Xu County's infrastructure, while the other portion was used for land reclamation.
Zhao Mu's farming was different from his previous farming. He was more like a farm owner!
What to plant, how to plant, all had to follow Zhao Mu's rules!
It was not as simple as giving the land to the refugees and then splitting it according to the ratio.
Dissatisfied refugees?
Xu Chu's 2,000 mercenaries were not to be trifled with!
Whoever dared to cause trouble would be expelled without asking for the reason!
Those who dared to resist would be killed without mercy!
In Xu County, Zhao Mu would not allow any ignorant refugees to cause trouble by thinking of reaping without sowing!
From the beginning of the first year of Xingping to the end of the spring plowing, in just a few months, Xu County had gained nearly 100,000 new refugees!
More than 300,000 mu of land had been reclaimed!
The dilapidated Xu County was gradually becoming a big county!
This was not the end.
After the spring plowing ended, other than a portion of them being used to take care of the fields, most of the refugees joined the infrastructure projects in Xu County.
build roads, houses, walls
The construction of Xu County's capital was gradually on the right track.
.....
Da! Da! Da!
Outside Xu County.
A troop of soldiers slowly arrived.
Sitting in the carriage were Cao Cao, Xun Yu, and Xi Zhicai.
Outside the carriage, Dian Wei carried his two iron halberds and did not leave.
After pacifying the counties of Yuzhou, Cao Cao returned the money and grain that he had borrowed from Cao Song, winning the hearts of the people.
In his spare time, he thought of Zhao Mu, who had been in Yingchuan for many days.
If he didn't ask, he wouldn't have known. He was shocked when he asked.
When Cao Cao heard that Xu County had nearly 100,000 refugees and 300,000 mu of land, he was dumbfounded!
They almost thought that County Magistrate Xu was lying about his achievements!
Even Xun Yu, who had been in charge of Yanzhou's civil affairs in Juancheng, could not help but be stunned.
Xun Yu was from Yingyin County, Yingchuan Prefecture. He decided to come to Xu County with Cao Cao to investigate and return to his former residence to worship his ancestors.
"My lord, Xu County is three miles ahead!”
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai were both from Yingchuan, so they were quite familiar with the territory of Yingchuan.
Cao Cao stopped the carriage.
"Wen Ruo, Zhicai, let's ride our horses together and see how Xu County has changed.”
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai nodded and followed Cao Cao out of the carriage.
In the beginning, it was not surprising that both sides of the road were barren mountains.
However, when they arrived at Xu County, the scene in front of them gradually changed.
The paths cross, and chickens and dogs hear each other.
A square field appeared in front of him like an art.
The farmers in the fields were clearing weeds and insect eggs from time to time.
"Is this Xu County?"
Xun Yu and Xi Zhicai's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Although they had not been to Xu County for a long time, the two of them knew that after the war, the fields in Xu County were mostly deserted!
And now.
The art-like orderly farmland appeared in front of him again!
"Zhao Jinglue's talent in internal affairs is admirable!”Xun Yu said sincerely.
To be able to restore the dilapidated Xu County to life in just a few months, this was not something that ordinary people could do!
Cao Cao glanced at the fields and heard Xun Yu talking about Zhao Mu's talent in internal affairs. He suddenly felt a headache."Reclaiming so many fields must have cost a lot! Who knew how much capital was left!”
Cao Cao thought of Cao Song's billions of assets!
During the spring plowing season in Yanzhou, Cao Cao had wanted to borrow money from Cao Song. After all, it was not difficult to borrow money again.
In the end, Cao Song told Cao Cao that Zhao Mu was now in charge of the billions of assets!
If Zhao Mu didn't want to borrow it, then he couldn't!
Thinking about how billions of assets were spent on Xu County, one could imagine how Cao Cao felt.
Xun Yu was also a little embarrassed.
He and Xi Zhicai knew that Cao Cao had called Cao Song to borrow money.
He had just praised Zhao Mu for his talent in internal affairs when Cao Cao mentioned Cao Song's hundreds of millions of assets. Xun Yu also began to wonder if his praise was a little too much.
With hundreds of millions of capital, wouldn't it be easy to reclaim these 300,000-plus fields?
This had nothing to do with internal affairs, it had to do with money!
After another ten miles, the road gradually became flat.
Looking at the gravel road under his feet, Cao Cao couldn't help but twitch his lips.""Gravel paving? How much would this cost!"
