"Of course, after hearing that you’re heading for Ninghe Prefecture, these officials hurriedly ran over here to look after you; by the way, they would like to see what great he Prefecture tide over the crisis!&8221;
As they talked, the Iron-Dragon airboat had already landed on a grain-sunning field Zhang Tie rubbed his face as he walked towards the hatch door of the airboat, followed by Donder
Previously, Zhang Tie’s wives would like to take a look at the granary of Yanzhou Province However, at the sight of the scorched dark scene all over, they became disappointed When the wind blew over, the pitch-dark wheat ash flew all over the sky and made it a black wind Additionally, there were too many people outside, these wo up at once

After straightening up their bodies, they all started to look at Zhang Tie Although they looked calarded Zhang Tie with reverence veryTie for the first ti and innocent look of Qianji Hermit If not see hi you wait for so long!&8221; Zhang Tie said tenderly, being neither too passionate nor too cold It sounded as co wind and autumn dew; therefore, everybody at present feltthose people, the one in the official uniforovernor hurriedly cupped his hands as he said, "At this moment, Qianji Hermit’s arrival he Prefecture!&8221;
This official was over 60 years old Although being sincere and kind, he didn’t look good as he had swollen eyelids and blisters on his lips Zhang Tie guessed that he must have not slept well these days "Are you the prefectural governor of Ninghe Prefecture?&8221;
"This huhe Prefecture!&8221;
"Who’s responsible for Ninghe Fortress?&8221;
After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, a round guy immediately drilled out of the crowd behind Liu Yuntao Closely after that, thislook, "This huh Liu Yuntao was not tall, this h as Liu Yuntao’s shoulder Therefore, when he was standing behind those officials, he was co Tie could barely see such a person Additionally, he was round and fat Plus his little eyes, nose and brandy nose, he was absolutely the legendary hedgehog spirit At the sight of hihter
With swarthy skin and taupe hair, this ner from the subcontinent
"What’s your naner, his accent was a bit strange; therefore, Zhang Tie al
"What, little hedgehog?&8221; Zhang Tie repeated it with an a him
"Thanks for the byna from today on!&8221; Xiao Ciwei knelt down at once as he koed loudly 3 times When he raised his head, his forehead had been red all over; however, there was still a big she Prefecture slightly frowned as they revealed a despised look at the sight of his delance at this guy Now that this guy could behave in such a shameless way in the public, heor have a special talent Otherwise, this he Fortress As this position ranked first ahe Prefecture, it reat power for commoners As for whether Xiao Ciwei could reach this position by flattering or by talents, ould know it soon
All the official fields in Ninghe Prefecture belonged to Zhang Tie now Of course, the fates of these people who survived on official fields were in the hand of Zhang Tie
AfterTie said, "Well, don’t stand here; let’s go take a look around…&8221;
"Her to look first?&8221; Liu Yuntao asked respectfully
"Let’s go to the riverside first Let hi Tie replied as he pointed at Xiao Ciwei…
"It’s the great honor of this humble man!&8221; Xiao Ciwei replied with a pleasant look as he hurriedly showed Zhang Tie the way towards Ninghe River in the north of the grain-sunning field
Of course, Zhang Tie should walk in the front with Liu Yuntao and Xiao Ciwei on his sides, closely followed by Donder The rest hundreds of people followed the 4 people
Thefield, they had seen ashes everywhere on the ground, on the tree leaves, grasses, the walls and eaves of those houses The entire Ninghe Prefecture almost looked like the same These ashes could never be cleaned by manpower Over these days, over 120 he Prefecture this sued the color of the entire Ninghe Prefecture These ashes could never be cleaned without so Tie paid more attention to the roadside leaves, Liu Yuntao hurriedly explained the reason for burning the wheat fields to Zhang Tie
Even now, the ould still bedeal to burn the and labor intensive No need to do that in the future I’ile These ashes are not as poisonous as the air in the abyss of Earth-elements Real Tie asked Xiao Ciwei casually
"Totally 8761 straw ht, I saw 8786 strawTie said casually
"8786 complete straw mats Additionally, there are 50 broken straw et 25 more co voice
After hearing their talk, all the others’ hearts pounded at once as they all held in awe very e for Xiao Ciwei to know the number of strawhis job and didn’t lose his face in the public However, the ot off the airboat, he had already known the nu field That indicated a terrifying power…
Right then, a heavy wind blew over with the ashes Many people in the team hurriedly covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves However, when the wind auto Tie continued to walk towards the riverside as if he had not discovered it
The roads fro paved with ceht on both sides of the road, there were large areas of s and locusts On the way, they could see many tidy canals as deep as 4-5 he River; the other end was reaching far away into those farmlands like blood vessels of huates on the hich could allocate the water to the farmlands flexibly and freely Besides, 05 m thick cement prefabricate canals connected these water houses and water gates to the farates in the cement canals from where water flew into the faration It was as convenient as the water faucets in people’s kitchens It was no exaggeration to say that the water irrigation project in Ninghe Prefecture was absolutely the best one in Taixia Country and a all the human countries
"How many farms, fortresses, farmers and far Tie asked Xiao Ciwei as he walked forward
"There are 3147 farms and fortresses, 1765521 farmers and over 512180 sets of farhe Prefecture!&8221; Xiao Ciwei iures
"What did these farmers do before?&8221;
"Most of the farmers were border inhabitants fro Tie threw a glance at Xiao Ciwei as his ansas a bit out of his iht that most of these far about it for a short while, Zhang Tie found it was reasonable The so-called border inhabitants were not official citizens in Taixia Country because they were just foreigners who escaped to Taixia Country or were sold to Taixia Country Out of kindness, Taixia Country, which always regarded itself as the ruling huave them a special identity——border inhabitants
In order to survive in Taixia Country, these border inhabitants could always endure hardships and be capable of hard work They dared not commit any crime in Taixia Country The moment border inhabitants committed any crime, they would be severely punished and suppressed by the judicial agencies in Taixia Country If the border inhabitants could survive the punishments, they would always be expelled from Taixia Country In that case, they had to stew in their own juice
It was indeed a goodborder inhabitants to till the arable lands in Ninghe Prefecture From a certain perspective, Taixia Country provided a method to survive these border inhabitants
There were two kinds of border inhabitants First, those border inhabitants ere sold here These border inhabitants were hts and lives were basically in the hands of those nates and major clans in Taixia Country Over these years, none of those htered and killed these border inhabitants in the public In fact, these people who controlled their contracts had a lot ofas they wanted Additionally, these methods could always avoid the sanctions of Taixia laws For instance, if tens of thousands of border inhabitants carried out a non-violent non-cooperation can, these people could never be killed casually in Taixia Country; the inore them either In that case, the major clans who controlled their contracts only needed to transport all of theh sea outside Taixia Country by a ship which was registered in somewhere of a subcontinent and killed all of the all the corpses in the ocean This method was out of the sphere of influence of Taixia Country
This iron hand method was always used in Taixia Country as the hten their border inhabitants
The second kind of border inhabitants was evolved by refugees After co to Taixia Country, these people had no vacancy; therefore, they could only be border inhabitants Their jobs were ed by the officials of Taixia Country Compared to the first kind of border inhabitants, this kind of border inhabitants was much luckier
"How ned any contracts?&8221;
