Lord of the House

(asking for a red ticket)

The Cao family sent troops to Hanzhong to see what happened in Sichuan and Shu, and Jiangning was shocked.

Jiang Ning supported the new emperor, and the officials of the Cao family and the West Qin county kept silent from beginning to end, which caused Jiang Ning to talk a lot. To seal Cao Yiqu as the canonization edict of Qin Guogong, hoping to exchange the Cao family's recognition of the Jiangning regime, and send troops from the west to restrain Yanhu.

Although Emperor Yongxing and the people of Jiangning had long been worried that the Cao family would have different aspirations in the west, they were still shocked when they saw that the Cao family took Hanzhong without telling them.

Although the Hanzhong mansion had invaded successively for Liu An'er and Gong Yucui's ministries, after Gong Yucui led his ministries to transfer from Hanzhong to eastern Sichuan, the Jinghu county commander recaptured the Hanzhong mansion.

Then Luo Xiancheng attacked and captured Xiangyang, but did not continue westward to attack Hanzhong. After the fall of Jinghu, the Jingzhou system was set up first. After Jiangning established the new emperor, he was planning to set up another system in Hanzhong to strengthen the military pressure on Luo Xiancheng from the west, forcing Luo Xiancheng to accept recruiting. It also restrained the Cao family - the Cao family sent troops across the Qinling Mountains into Hanzhong at this time, disrupting Jiangning's strategic deployment on the western front.

Cao Jiamou's thoughts on Sichuan and Shu should have been there long ago, but they lacked the right time. After April, the Donghu people focused on completely occupying Yanji. On the western front, only 40,000 Hu cavalrymen from Yanxi attacked the city and plundered the land, which greatly reduced the threat to Qin County.

Therefore, the Cao family was able to shrink strategically from the north, and transfer their troops to the Fengxiang House in the southwest to assemble and carry out the grand plan of strategizing Sichuan and Shu.

The Jiangning regime is currently only barely maintaining a stable and united situation. The envoys of the Jingzhou system under Jiangning's remote control are doing all they can to guard against Luo Xiancheng's Changle army, and they have no time to divide their troops westward into eastern Sichuan.

The Hanzhong government's officers and troops were not strong enough, and even some troops were concentrated on the eastern front to guard against the Changle army coming from Xiangyang.

Sichuan and Shu are known as the land of abundance, but after Gong Yucui led his troops to enter, the more affluent and densely populated areas were ploughed several times by the refugee army. After a large-scale war that lasted for three years, almost the entire eastern Sichuan area was crippled. Gong Yucui led his troops to occupy Yuzhou (now Chongqing), and the main force of the eastern Sichuan army was attracted to the surrounding Yuzhou, and the entire northern Sichuan had a serious shortage of defensive forces.

Although the letter mentioned that the Cao family sent troops from Chencang into Hanzhong, Lin Fu believed that the Cao family had secretly prepared for so long, and the action would be very fast. The east side of Sichuan wants to dispatch troops to strengthen the defense of the north of Sichuan against Hanzhong, and the time is afraid that it will be too late. Besides, the refugee army penetrated into eastern Sichuan, and it has not been able to be wiped out after all these years. Moreover, the damage to the eastern Sichuan area is so serious that there may be quite a lot of people in eastern Sichuan who hope that Cao's troops and horses can enter Sichuan to pacify the chaos...

The news that the Cao family sent troops came out from Jingzhou on the 15th, and it was already 22 days after it arrived in Chongzhou. It took such a long time for a letter to be sent, and everything that happened in eastern Sichuan and Hanzhong was naturally beyond the reach of Huaidong. The most important thing for Huaidong at the moment is to take over Yudong and move Zhuang to the county.

************

After Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu and his party robbed Qingzhou, Lin Fu ordered Huaidong Water Camp to block the passage into Yudong Palace. Until the first ten days of September, Jiangning removed Yudong Palace at the request of Empress Liang, and Huaidong was They dispatched troops to land from the Dongjiang Estuary as soon as possible, entered the Yudong Palace, and controlled the palace steward Miao Shuo, Yuan Jinsheng and others.

Taking over Yudong Palace Village is not worse than winning a victory.

Ever since Yanjing had the idea of ​​moving the capital, Liang Clan and Yuan Guizheng began to use Yudong Palace for decoration. Although Huzhuang Dingzu was only composed of two battalions, he was a rare soldier with excellent armor. He did not play the role of an extraordinary soldier, nor did he dare to resist, so Huaidong was relieved of his armor.

After releasing the seizure and accepting the storage of Yudong Palace, Huaidong obtained 2,000 sets of excellent armor at one time, which is enough to cover the four-month output of Huaidong Ordnance Supervision and Armor Factory; There are more than 1,200 pieces of crossbows and crossbows, as well as 100 flying contradictory vehicles imitated by Huaidong, and nine armed merchant ships with two masts or more.

Fortunately, Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu fled in a hurry, Yuan Guizheng and others were not ready to respond, and after Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu gave Qingzhou control, Huaidong quickly sent troops to block the passage into Yudong Palace, otherwise only Relying on the deployment of the Liang clan and Yuan Guizheng in Yudong Palace, it is possible to recruit Ding Zhuang from the village households, and form ten battalions of soldiers to cover the surprise attack on Jiangning by merchant ships...

The Gu family's father and son, Yongchang Hou's mansion, and Liang's family were not bad at calculating and preparing, but they were worse at guessing Huaidong.

Lin Fu sat in the side hall of Dongya's daily office, and looked at the detailed accounts after taking over the Yudong Palace.

In addition to the grain fields, village households, soldiers, soldiers and armed merchant ships, Gongzhuang also has a fortress about four miles around in the hinterland of Yudong. In addition to the official halls and other buildings, there are also a full range of workshops and workshops in the Dongzhu Walled City. There is even a small shipyard in the Hechaport where the Yudong River flows into the Dongjiang Estuary.

Judging from the data alone, Yudong Palace Village is a standard Huai manor economy. Since everything within the scope of the palace is owned by the palace, the farmer is only a tenant farmer, and even bears heavier exploitation than ordinary tenant farmers, taking over the Yudong palace in Huaidong, including all kinds of buildings in the city wall and their own fields. As an official, Huaidong can resolutely suppress the dissident forces within the Yudong Palace.

"It's not necessarily worse than Weiyang Mansion!" Lin Fu threw the inventory of Yudong Palace on the case and said with emotion.

Lin Mengde, Gao Zongting, Sun Jingxuan and others who went to the side hall to report the matter to Lin Fu were also quite emotional.

Although Yongyang Mansion was rich and prosperous, the land annexation was serious, and the phenomenon of invading fields and hiding households was serious. Although the annual quota of grain grants is more than one million shi, 60% is occupied by various local expenditures and officials who are greedy for ink.

Even if Weiyang Mansion was officially included in Huaidong's defense zone, under the confrontation of the prefect Shen Rong and the stubborn local forces, it would be difficult for Huaidong to promote the new policy in Weiyang Mansion. In the current situation, it is better to fight for Weiyang Mansion than Yudong Palace.

"Yudong's personnel should be arranged as soon as possible," Lin Mengde said. "Who do you agree to arrange to go to Yudong?"

"Bring Wang Chengfu and Sun Shangwang here," Lin Fu said. "In addition to Yu Dong and Yizhou, the candidate for the chief administrator must be decided as soon as possible..."

Sun Shangwang also accompanied Zhou Pu to **** the Empress Dowager Liang and King Lu to Chongzhou last night.

Sun Shangwang has worked hard in Jinhai all these years, and he is talented enough to serve as a county magistrate.

Sun Shangwang and Wang Chengfu were both in Dongya, and they soon invited the guards. Lin Fu briefly mentioned the situation in Yudong and Yizhou, and Sun Shangwang took the initiative to ask to go to Yizhou.

********

Before the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the two lakes and Jiangsu and Zhejiang were the only places in the south that were more fully developed. East Fujian and Guangnan were barbarians living in the mountains and mountains, and they were not integrated into the orthodoxy of the Central Plains.

Before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Yizhou was a barbarian among the barbarians. Except for all the records in the early years of the maritime business map, most people did not even know which direction Yizhou was in.

Eight surnames entered Fujian, which played a vital role in the development of East Fujian, and also exposed Yizhou Island to a certain extent.

In the early years, some fishermen and impoverished farmers who lost their land crossed the sea and settled on the northwest coast of Yizhou Island and built some settlements. They were probably the earliest developers influenced by the culture of the Central Plains.

The development of the coastal areas of East Fujian and Guangnan and the development of coastal trade made the pirate forces also breed and develop. Naturally, there are pirate forces seeking relief from Yizhou Island or building a fortress directly on the island as a foothold.

The large-scale development of Yizhou Island is precisely due to the fact that the Baxing forces headed by the extravagant family have made the greatest contribution. The Baxing forces are based on the coastal areas of Jin'an Prefecture and are most threatened by pirates. Naturally, they also attach great importance to combating pirate forces.

In order to limit the space and development of pirate forces in the sea, She Mucheng, also the last generation of Minhou, actively promoted the establishment of a garrison on Yizhou Island and then moved the people to the county. For a time, the pirate forces in the seas off East Fujian were greatly suppressed, and they shifted their activities to the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangnan.

Yizhou County has a history of 30 to 40 years. Although it is the largest island around the mainland, it is not fully developed.

Obviously, there were a lot of wasteland that were not fully developed in Huaidong’s flood-prone and Hudang areas, as well as in Changguo, Daishan, Shengsi and other large offshore islands.

Compared with Yudong, Yizhou's conditions are difficult and its importance is not as important as Yudong. But to go to Yizhou, in addition to reclaiming wasteland and hoarding crops, it is necessary to cooperate with the navy to invade the coastal area of ​​eastern Fujian, and to use Yizhou as a base to explore routes to the south and develop maritime trade. Sun Shangwang thought he was familiar with these matters, so he took the initiative to ask to go Yizhou, do not compete with Wang Chengfu for the seat of Yudong.

*********

Yizhou is a difficult place, Lin Fu intends to persuade Wang Chengfu to go to Yizhou. After all, Sun Shangwang has worked hard outside these years, but Sun Shangwang took the initiative to ask to go to Yizhou. It’s worse. The profit margins of the farmland are small and the cycle is long. The merchants in Huaidong are not very interested. This is also human nature, so don’t force it; , you can change your way of thinking. Yizhou is rich in resources, so there should be no shortage of coal and iron, plus wood, all of which are urgently needed materials in Huaidong. The harvested coal, iron and wood are shipped to Huaidong for sale. Willing to recruit workers to have a try..."

"...First of all, focus on industry and trade, and gain profits to make up for land reclamation," Lin Fu continued. "As far as land reclamation is concerned, we should not be in a hurry to reclaim large tracts of grain fields. Xiangxiang and Xiangxiang in the world are all for the benefit. It is very dismissive, but we must know that when it comes to governance, it is far better to know the righteousness than to guide it for profit. Planting cotton to weave cloth is a good thing; planting cane to make sugar is also a good thing. Tea and planting mulberries are both profitable things. The Lijin Bureau collects heavy taxes on the cloth, tea, sugar, raw silk and other items transported from Chongzhou and Mingzhou to Haidong for sale. Cotton weaving in barren fields, sugar cane production, mulberries and silkworms to obtain raw silk, and tea are shipped to Haidong for sale. During a certain period of time, some taxes can be reduced or exempted to encourage cultivation. How long do you live in Chongzhou? God, think about it more, think about it, and tell me what conditions you need. I won’t be stingy with the convenience you can give…”

After chatting with Sun Shangwang about the development of Yizhou, Lin Fu said to Wang Chengfu: "Shangwang wants to go to Yizhou, then I recommend you to go to Yudong to be a magistrate. After you go to Yudong, you need to settle down. Take care of the original farmers. The first is the issue of grain collection this year, and the second is how to get the farmers to release their surplus fields to resettle the displaced households. I thought about it, the method of forced expropriation is not good. Do you think this is good? Let the farmers Provide grain and buy land, and ensure that each household has ten to fifteen acres of land that is privately owned, and the rest will be levied as official property to settle the people who have moved south. Do this well, and the rest will follow the new policy..."

Wang Chengfu looked through Yudong's information, and after taking over the Yudong Palace, did he find out that there were more than 6,000 villagers in Yudong. Chengdu will be exploited by Gongzhuang.

The yield per mu of the grain fields in Yudong is much lower than that of Haiyu and Chongzhou, but the fertile land of Shangshu fields is not much worse than that of Haiyu and Chongzhou. Fundamentally speaking, the input labor is seriously insufficient.

Yudong currently has 300,000 mu of land. With the farming mode of Chongzhou and Haiyu, under normal taxation conditions, it is more than enough to support 30,000 households. However, Yudong only had 6,000 village households, and a thousand strong laborers had to be incorporated into the Huzhuang army to do no production. In addition, various workshops and shipyards in the city walls also took up a lot of labor.

It is because of such heavy exploitation that Yudong Gongzhuang almost scrapes 200,000 to 300,000 shi of rice grain from Liuqianzhuang's account every year.

Yudong is mostly water mu, and the harvest of autumn crops has not yet begun. In order to win people's hearts, Huaidong should reduce or exempt this year's taxes. However, Lin Fu was reluctant to give up Yudong's autumn grain income of more than 300,000 shi after harvesting this year's autumn grain, so he thought of the alternative method of selling land for grain~www.wuxiaspot.com~ plans to directly distribute 80,000 mu of land to farmers in exchange for 300,000 shi. Wanshi's autumn grain income came up, and at the same time, other fields were officially acquired as official property, and the people who moved south were resettled.

In fact, if the Huaidong New Deal is extended to Yudong County, in addition to relocating 24,000 to 5,000 southward-moving people on the existing fields, the annual direct rent will not be less than 300,000 stone grains of rice. . The resettled people who moved to the south will provide Huaidong with a large number of soldiers and sufficient labor.

Yudong is the same as Hecheng, Yandu and other places. Because it is close to the sea, the large coastal land that is easily recharged by sea tides, and the lakes, wetlands, and swamps that are close to the inland and prone to waterlogging, have not been fully reclaimed.

If seawalls can be built offshore, it will be able to obtain twice as much land as currently available. At that time, Yudong will be able to develop into a large Dingkou county comparable to Haiyu and Chongzhou.

"When Yudong was still a grassland in his early years, he and Haiyu County were bounded by the Dongjiang River. The grassland was changed to Gongzhuang, and the Haiyu Chen family occupied a large amount of land on the east bank of the Dongjiang to plant mulberry and cotton," Lin Fu said. "The occupied fields Even if it is, but to demarcate the border with Haiyu County, you still need to use the East River as the Huai River, and you go to negotiate with the Chen family..."

Taking the Dongjiang River as the boundary, the extra land allocated to Yudong can provide Yudong with 20,000 to 30,000 stone of rice grain tax. As the main waterway that traverses Pingjiang Prefecture, the Dongjiang River leads directly to the Taihu Lake. Yudong and Haiyu are bounded by the Dongjiang River, and there is naturally half of the waterway in the lower reaches of the Dongjiang River, which should be counted as the defense zone of Huaidong Water Camp.

This significance is much more important than the annual tax of 20,000 to 30,000 shi of rice grains. If the lawsuit goes to Jiangning, Huaidong will also be fought over from the Chen family.

Huaidong now trades silk for rice, and provides nearly 20,000 shi of low-priced rice grains to Haiyu every month to relieve the food shortage and the pressure of raising the army in Haiyu. At this time, if you don't choke your neck in exchange for favorable conditions for Huaidong, when will you wait? My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
