The end of the year is approaching.

However, Luo Cheng led the brothers from the Sanhung County Barracks to Changbai Mountain.

It had been a long time since I came last time. When I came to the mountains again, Luo Cheng felt a little complicated. The last time he came to suppress bandits, there were still a large number of escaped Ding Yin households living here hidden in Changbai Mountain. However, during that sweep, thousands of people from Qi County captured Wang Bo and slapped the bandits, but he also drove all the fugitives from nearly 5,000 mountains down the mountain.

In the past, there was still popularity in the mountains. Some fugitives had even lived in the mountains for generations. Nearly a hundred villages of all sizes were distributed in the mountains.

Now, all these villages are abandoned.

In the mountains of Zhangqiu County, except for the six military stations built by Luo Cheng when he suppressed bandits, the remaining more than 20 villages of all sizes were all prepared to burn them with a fire.

All the people are gone, and the houses and villages in the mountains are just for the deadly bandits to be nests.

The county has never thought of arranging people to come here to live. In fact, the transportation in the mountains is inconvenient and the land is barren. If the escapees had not regarded this place as a hiding place to avoid class service, few people would have been willing to live here. Not to mention the robbers, even the beasts in the forest could be deterred. After all, if they escaped and did not pay rent to serve, they could barely live. If the land granted by the government was moved in, it would be difficult to live if they had to pay rent to serve.

Although the fields of fleeing people in more than 20 villages were registered in the government account, they were just thrown in the desert.

Only Luo Cheng felt that this place was valuable. When he proposed to station troops, the county magistrate Du Ruhui agreed immediately without any hesitation. Anyway, it would be useless to keep it in his hands. It would be better to give it to Luo Cheng. If he could really settle it, it would be considered a waste to use it.

Perhaps it was just shook hands and made peace, and Du Ruhui showed great sincerity.

He not only drew all the fields left by the fugitives in the mountains to Luo Cheng, but also drew all the more than 300 people who were demoted to slaves in the cattle slaughter case to Luo Cheng, who was regarded as military slaves of the county soldiers.

He also pulled out many farm tools and other items collected from these people's homes to Luo Cheng, and also pulled out some from the warehouse.

Luo Cheng brought more than 300 military soldiers to the mountain with more than 300 military slaves, and also brought many cattle, horses, plowing seeds, etc., as if it were a migrating army.

The first military station is Yangmazhai, which is closest to Zhangqiu County, twenty miles away from the mountain and fifty miles away from Zhangqiu County. In fact, Zhangqiu County is not large, but under normal circumstances, Changbai Mountain Area is not included. If the mountain area belonging to Zhangqiu is included, then the mountain area under this area can be as big as half of Zhangqiu County.

Therefore, it can be said that half of Zhangqiu is an unattended mountainous area, and half of it is a real county and township.

The other five military stations were scattered on the north side of Yangmazhai.

The six villages were actually guarding three roads leading to the mountains, and each road was built with a military station twenty miles apart. The difference between the three roads was about twenty or thirty miles apart.

When Luo Cheng chose these six villages to build a military station, he was attracted by the geographical characteristics of his guarding the important roads into the mountains.

Zhao Gui led the cavalry team into the village for a while. The once lively village was empty, with no one even a chicken, and only some sparrows fell on the roof.

There are also several local dogs that have become wild dogs guarding the village, waiting for their owners to come back.

The military station at a corner of the village was also empty. After the last time the bandit suppressed, there was no one in the military station.

Originally, the military station was going to burn all over like those villages.

"The county soldiers can be arranged to live in the village outside the village at the station. In the future, the county soldiers can also bring their families to live outside."

Luo Cheng attached great importance to military farming. He not only planned to allow the county soldiers to subsist in the country, but also wanted to give the county soldiers a land here, let them bring their families and then form military farming soldiers.

"Set up first, and go back and re-plan the village."

Luo Cheng pointed to the empty village. He planned to re-plan the village. Those messy houses would be rebuilt, and they would be built neatly. They would also need to dig wells and build canals, and repair the village walls and gates.

The village is not only a place for the garrison slaves and livestock to live in, but it will also become a foreign fortress for the military station, with a certain defense and a military station for the inner fortress.

In the future, simple markets can be established in the villages to connect various soldiers to the villages, so that the people and soldiers living here can buy things, or sell local prey, etc.

To guard this mountainous area well so that the military station can persist for a long time, it must be enriched here and not rely on blood transfusions outside alone.

The land in the mountainous areas is indeed barren, but at least it can be self-sufficient.

Zhao Gui stood beside Luo Cheng and couldn't help but say, "Xiao Wu, do you think we did the right thing before? In fact, it turns out that the escaped people in this village are also quite pitiful."

"Yes, it would be great if they could only pursue the thieves and pardon them, and re-register them, and then give them the land here so that they can continue to live here."

But he is not the one who makes the decision.

Just like the case of stolen cattle, Luo Cheng was also very annoyed by the guys who stole oxen, but he felt that it was enough to pursue these people's crimes, and there was no need to implicate their families.

But he is still not the one who makes the decision.

Whether it is a robber, a robber, a fleeing person, or a thief, in the eyes of the government, these are unforgivable people, especially when most of the fugitives here are still entangled with the thieves.

"Except for these six villages, people have been sent to demolish other villages, and all the things that can be used are brought to repair these six villages and strengthen the military station. All other villages have been demolished, leaving only one or two houses for county soldiers to rest temporarily when patrolling. All those who cannot be taken away and cannot be used will be burned."

There are many villages in the mountains, both large and small, but Luo Cheng only has 300 county soldiers, one team stationed and one stop, and could only station six villages. Since the extra ones were too uneasy to take care of, they simply dismantled and used the materials. They would not keep the remaining ones that were not used or were not used, and burned.

As for the fields over there, the nearby ones are plowed, while the far ones can only be left deserted.

Luo Cheng sent county troops to station in the six villages in Shanzhong, and implemented a rotating garrison system. Each team changed its garrison once every six months, basically stayed in Shanli for half a year, and then stayed in the county for half a year.

All teams are involved in the rotation.

The first batch of those stationed in the Six Villages were the long spear team, the spear team, the shield gun team, the hook and sickle team, the light cavalry team and the crossbow team. The list was drawn by the heads of each team.

"Compared with those fleeing people, we are considered to be the right person." Head Fu San from the spear team sighed.

"Yes, we followed Xiaowu. How long has it been? Now we can ride a horse and get a scattered stairs. I took back the bounty I received several times and bought a lot of land and renovated the house. All of these depend on Xiaowu. If Xiaowu was not there, I would probably still worry about not being able to hand over the deer skin and pheasant feathers required by the county." Zhao Gui also said.

"You don't have to thank me either. I just took you along this path, but you have worked hard to get rewards for yourselves."

Lao Jia said on the side, "As long as you follow Wulang well, you will not only have to reward and get money in the future, but you will sooner or later get a single official position and a glorious family."
