I am engaged in construction in ancient times

Chapter 60 Peach Blossom

Qi Kanghu died, and the battle was coming to an end. Except for a small number of people who were still resisting, the remaining bandits had all surrendered. Zhang Changle had them tied up and detained one by one.

Duan Shubai wiped the gun body, "Take them all back, and the new site built in the corner of Xinyang City can be filled with people again."

"Su Gang, Liang Lei, you two take people to the major villages to wipe out the remnants of Qi Kanghu and Cai Yecheng's subordinates."

The two took the order and left.

Su Gang led his troops to various villages. Some clever bandits had already seen the situation and fled to the south. He and Liang Lei's clearing operation went very smoothly. The villagers who used to tremble in fear under the oppression of Qi Kanghu and others saw that the bandits around them disappeared in an instant. At first, they didn't dare to believe it, fearing that the bandits were playing some new tricks.

When Duan Shubai's soldiers came down to inform them, they excitedly shouted their thanks:

"Qi Kanghu is dead!!! It's a relief."

"We can finally live a good life."

"It was General Duan who got rid of this bully himself!"

The villagers saw Qi Kanghu's body and were so angry that they couldn't help but pick up stones and branches to hit the demon who had oppressed them for a long time, even though they knew he was dead.

The soldiers on the side saw this and didn't stop him.

Duan Shubai actually felt a little regretful. Qi Kanghu had committed many crimes, and it was a bargain for him to let him die so easily. He couldn't do such a thing as whipping the corpse. He didn't stop other villagers from venting their anger.

After clearing out the bandits in Jiuchuan, Chuanyue, Lanqian, and Suiyu in the south of Xiya Mountain, according to Duan Shubai's promise, Jiuchuan will still be governed by the Jiuli people, and Duan Shubai will send clerks to Chuanyue, Lanqian, and Suiyu to take office and handle affairs. The new bureaucratic management system will be rebuilt, and all these will be handled by the Xinyang City civil service system.

Ji Chengyu and his group became Duan Shubai's old subordinates, and now Duan Shubai has 2,000 soldiers under his command.

When the selected clerks went to the three places to take up their posts, Duan Shubai sent Su Gang, Liu Dong and three others with more than 30 people, dragging seeds, grains and other items, to go together. Their purpose was to recruit people and soldiers.

Whether recruiting residents or soldiers, it was all for the purpose of expanding the population size of Xinyang City.

Duan Shubai's territory in Yangzhou has doubled, and he needs more soldiers. Similarly, the territory of Xinyang City is also expanding. After the winter cold, the captured captives and bandits will continue to build roads, open up wasteland and build houses.

The long-dormant land sprouts new buds, the dead branches grow a little green leaves, and the withered hay melts underneath with the fading snow water. People's clothes are also beginning to be cut one by one. A new batch of ducklings are shaking their fat buttocks and swimming forward in the increasingly warm spring water.

Duan Shubai took the lead in digging the first pit, planting a spring seedling, and after offering incense to the gods, he completed the sacrifice and announced the beginning of spring plowing.

People who had rested for the winter began to sow seeds and transplant rice seedlings. Rows of spring pits were dug, and a new batch of fruit tree seedlings were planted all over the mountains and fields. Duan Shubai's system space had accumulated many fruit tree seedlings. In addition to the common pear trees, peach trees, jujube trees, and persimmon trees, there were also mango trees and longan trees. He took a look at them in surprise and found that there were also lychee trees, dragon fruit trees, and jackfruit trees.
