Lord of the House

Lin Fu was standing in the hot and dry kiln, watching Zhao Zuigui'er organize craftsmen to stack the wood on the tuyere. He saw Qin Chengzu, Cao Zi'ang, Lin Mengde and others looking in at the kiln mouth, walked over, and said: "I'm going to Jinhai..."

Lin Fu pretended to hide for three months in the name of keeping filial piety. Qin Chengzu and the others knew that his heart was unraveled. At this time, when Lin Fu opened his mouth, he said that he was going to Jinhai. Qin Chengzu thought about it for a while and said, "You really should go to Jinhai. You can't go there clearly, but there's no need to go there without knowing it..."

After Lin Fu led the Jiangdong Zuo Army back to Chongzhou, Tang Haoxin was the backbone of the northern line. Although Lin Xuwen was presided over by Jinhai, Lin Xuwen's prestige could not be compared with Tang Haoxin and Lin Fu. Tang Haoxin died on a hunger strike, and people in Jinhai, especially those who were relatively loose in Denglai, would inevitably feel a little unsure of what to do.

At this time, the hearts of the people over there must not be scattered. Lin Fu is very necessary at this time, and he can also test how deep his network and reputation are.

After all, Lin Fu was hiding in the name of Shouxiao, so he couldn't go there openly, but he had to let the court, especially the Liang family know that Lin Fu had been to Jinhai, to warn these people that the influence over Jinhai is here. What they could not despise was a counterattack.

"I plan to transfer the No. 1 Water Battalion to strengthen the Shengsi line of defense. Yang Shi will take care of the Jiang defense on the Chongzhou side. At present, the Jiang defense here is mainly based on training," Lin Fu said. All the boats were drawn, and five more Jiyun-class warships were drawn out to the north. Now the kiln can produce one-third of the qualified wood at a time. This result has been better than my expectation, but it is not really qualified, and a few more ships are still to be built. Only by testing the water can we use the drying kiln to prepare materials on a large scale. The Longjiang Shipyard will do the last round of trading, and we can get as many ingredients as we can at one time. Until eight Jinhai-class warships are built..."

Sun Jingxuan suddenly felt the pressure on his shoulders.

At the beginning of the construction of the shipyard, it was only planned to reach the level of ten to twelve Jinhai-class warships in three years. There are only six to eight Jinhai ships built in here, and you can't afford to fight your old life?

Of course, if the kiln can be completed, the time for preparing materials will be greatly shortened, and it is not impossible to form a large-scale shipbuilding capacity in a short period of time. The water camp was stationed in the army cottage, and almost all the open-air docks outside Guanyin Beach were given up, and nearly a hundred craftsmen were brought over from Jiangning, which made the manpower here a lot more abundant. Sun Jingxuan did not say it was difficult, but said: "Then I'll go back to Jiangning..."

The raw materials needed to build the Jinhai-class warships can only be purchased from the Longjiang Shipyard. Buying enough raw materials to build six to eight ships at a time is really a one-shot deal. The Jiangning Ministry of Industry did not find out after that. It's sluggish enough.

"The Liang family was incapable of dealing with the Eastern invaders in Yanbei, but it was still very sharp against the Tianbao army, which was formed hastily by 300,000 people who repaired the Yellow River embankment. Ge Ping was under pressure from the north, and he would probably choose to lead the Tianbao refugee army to withdraw south. In that case, the war will soon spread from the plains and Jinan to the south, and spread to Jining and Linyi. It will not be surprising that the refugee army pours into the Xu and Su areas. It is not difficult to defeat the refugee army, but the difficulty is that the fire is very It is difficult to put out. Once the refugee army is scattered, it is like a spark that bursts open, which will ignite an even bigger fire," Lin Fu said. The silting must be completed within three months, and 30,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 or 40,000 young and strong laborers must be brought in. Immediately send sentinels to the north and secretly guide the refugees south to Chongzhou. If there is a defeated army that wants to take refuge in Chongzhou, it is also possible, but only if it is accepted. Adaptation of Chongzhou - After the Yunyan River dredging is over, don't worry that the displaced households can't arrange the reclamation of Hecheng, and now prepare from the junction of the two places..."

When the concept of the world is quite vague, although there is a boundary stone, but quietly move the boundary stone a mile or two to the east, no one talks much in Chongzhou, and in the case that Hecheng is also in the Jiangdong Zuojun defense zone, there is no worry about who will get it. to a sure handle. Water conservancy facilities can't keep up for a while, so spring wheat can be planted first. Really want to cut off the ministry of offering grass to the salt area, and fill 100,000 people into the grassland in Hecheng. There is no pressure at all.

"Many people despise Chongzhou. In their opinion, a county in Chongzhou is too narrow as a base, and it is difficult to have any effect," Lin Bie said with his hands behind him, "I don't think so, considering the war potential of a place, it is vast. The density of people is one aspect, but it is not the decisive factor. The key depends on the wealth of materials and the ability to organize and mobilize. I think you have a profound experience..."

In the history that Lin Fu knew, it seemed more common for a small country to smash the big empire to find teeth, so he would not be confused that Chongzhou was too narrow as a base.

When it comes to experience, Lin Mengde and Cao Ziang felt the deepest.

The Jiangdong Zuo Army did the most outstanding work in Yannan Qin Wang, so that Zhang Xie, Yue Lengqiu and others could not stand up and call out the Jiangdong Zuo Army after the war. Covering up Lin Fu, and rewarding Chongzhou County as the source and station of the Jiangdong Left Army, let Lin Fu go.

At that time, there were only 3,000 soldiers on the surface of the Jiangdong Left Army, and countless people firmly believed that with the financial resources of a county in Chongzhou, it was impossible to support 3,000 elite soldiers.

Lin Mengde and Cao Zi'ang were also full of worries at first, Lin Mengde was so worried for the first half a year, and her hair on the temples was frost white.

After Lin Fu used the means of thunder to investigate the monastery's farmland in Chongzhou County, the Jiangdong Zuo Army secretly obtained nearly 180,000 mu of thin-yielding farmland, and Lin Mengde and Cao Zi'ang were a little bit down.

"Other people use the name of 'pig herder' to slander me, but it's just exposing his ignorance and incompetence," Lin Bie smiled, thinking that he had been carrying this bad name for two years, "I will send you to wait for six years. One word needs to be kept in mind 'build a city high and store grain widely', since it is impossible to expand the territory, planting the fields well is the best policy and good policy..." Lin Fu hid the three words "slowly claiming the king" without saying.

When it comes to farming, Hu Zhiyong and others feel the most.

Xisha Island has a large area, and nearly 200,000 mu of land can be reclaimed. However, due to the harsh environment for a long time, the number of islanders has only been maintained at about 1,000. After the large-scale flooding of refugees, it suddenly expanded to more than 40,000 people.

A storm roared and swept away half of their lives - almost no one thought that the barren land and harsh environment of Xisha Island could feed the remaining 20,000 people.

At the most difficult time, Lin Fu sent his precious warships out all over the world to find islands to dig bird droppings and accumulate fertilizer. Within a year and a half, he took these islanders who had no way out and went to Xisha Island. 20,000 mu of mulberry orchards, 20,000 mu of cotton and hemp fields, 120,000 mu of rice and wheat fields, more than 30 miles of canals and more than 500 miles of irrigation ditches have been reclaimed.

Last year, the autumn grain harvest on Xisha Island reached 100,000 shi, and it is expected that the annual grain output this year will reach 200,000 shi.

Based on the annual food ration needed by Ding Zhuang and half of the ration for the old and young, the annual grain output of Xisha Island reaches 200,000 shi, which not only meets the needs of the more than 36,000 people on the island, but also saves 40,000 to 50,000 shi of rice. food for military needs.

Probably because he was used to living a poor life, Lin Fu decided to use rice bran, wheat bran and other things as feed, but he caused Hu Zhiyong to be scolded many times on the island. The cotton, mulberry and hemp produced on the island can also meet the clothing needs of the islanders. In addition, the stocking of beach birds, pigs and cattle far exceeds the level of Fufufu County in the south of the Yangtze River.

If it only meets the standard of drawing 3,000 sperm and raising 3,000 sperm, in fact, only one place on Xisha Island is enough.

At this time, the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army had actually expanded to 12,000, which was enough to equal a complete Ninghai Town establishment. In the eyes of Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang, Hu Zhiyong and others, even if there is no more than 30,000 taels of silver salaries allocated by the county governor each year, as long as this year is passed, the major event of the Yunyan River dredging project is completed, and the land of Chongzhou is a county. . With the more than 400,000 mu of farmland and public fields (excluding Xisha Island) actually in the hands of the Jiangdong Zuo Army, they can barely support the more than 22,000 elites.

Of course, the goals they want to achieve in Chongzhou will not stop there.

"Jiangmen, Hecheng, Jiuhua, and Guanyintan all have inspection divisions. Even if the county superintendent does not recognize it, they will first issue a letter in the name of the county government and the Jinghai supervising division," Lin Fu said. "Looking at the current situation, the nine Huayi is the most important place, Hu Zhiyong goes to Jiuhua, let Li Shutang go to Guanyin Beach for you, Wang Chengfu is in charge of Hecheng, and Chen Lei goes to Jiangmen..."

Once the Yunyan River dredging project is completed, Yunyan River, Xishan River, Yangtze River Road and East China Sea will form the natural outer trenches of Chongzhou and Hecheng. Jiuhua is located in the northwest corner and borders Xinghua, Gaocheng and Hailing counties.

Hearing that Lin Fu mentioned Jiuhua as the most important place at the moment, Cao Ziang and others were secretly excited. This actually has the intention of rejecting foreign enemies outside the northwest of Chongzhou. What foreign enemies will invade the northwest of Chongzhou?

Hu Zhiyong also readily agreed.

Although it seems that Guanyin Beach is the most important apart from Chongcheng at present, except for a military fortress, Jiuhua is far less complete than Jiangmen and Hecheng.

Since Lin Fu had the intention of defending Chongzhou to stand on his own feet, Jiuhua's defensive strategic position naturally surpassed that of Jiangmen, Hecheng and Guanyintan.

"If the inspection divisions follow the usual practice and focus on arresting theft, then there is no need to set up more," Lin Fu said, "I want you to set up households, punishments, soldiers, workers, and rituals in the inspection divisions of the county government. , officials and Cang Qi Cao, set up officials with the number of one officer and three officers~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If others want to have elite troops and streamline administration, we will have to make redundant staff and complicated administration—this election of officials, we can let big families recommend their children to serve as…”

Lin Mengde, Cao Zi'ang and the others also agreed to inherit. Lin Fu had set up redundant staff as early as the beginning of the reorganization of the county government office, so that the small county government office had fifty or sixty officials to eat the official's family meals, including the east. There are more than 100 officials in the yamen. If the personnel department was overstaffed, Chongzhou would probably get the lowest evaluation.

However, when many major events such as building a city in Chongzhou, dredging, and clearing public fields came up, so many people were still not enough.

The addition of four inspection divisions, with seven Cao as one principal and three deputy officials, plus the secretary office, transcription and other miscellaneous officials, the subordinate officials of Chongzhou County will exceed 256 people, at least in the present, this is an impressive jaw-dropping numbers.

The total number of Dingkou in Chongzhou is more than 350,000 (including Xisha Island), and there are not 20,000 or 10,000 literate people. One official out of 100 or 50 people can still let Lin Bie pick and choose.

After all, there are only a few children from big families. For ordinary people, being able to eat official meals is something they want to do. Most of them do not care whether the inspection department is privately set up or not, and whether it violates the law or not. .

The reason why the refugee army is a refugee army and a rogue may be that it will cultivate a group of suitable or even excellent generals in the long-term struggle, but it is difficult to cultivate a large number of internal affairs officials. Without these sorts of government affairs, it is almost impossible to establish a foothold in one place.

"In addition, the war training literacy class has now been changed to a war training school with the army, and I will serve as the head of the school," Lin Fu said. Jinhai, at least a month, as long as two months, will come back, here, you all perform your duties, first plant the fields." My QT room is open!
