Lord of the House

When crossing Qingjiangpu, the weather was cold and the water was clear and clear. Lin Fu, Zhou Pu, Sun Jingtang and others changed their horses and went to Huaiyang to supervise the battle. Xiaoman, Sumei and other female relatives went to Yandu to change boats. Walk slowly on Qingjiangpu to Shanyang.

Remembering the last time I visited Qingjiangpu, it has been a full six years——

From the window, Su Mei stares at both sides of the river.

Song Jia asked, "When Miss Su went with the adults to Qingjiangpu, was this also the same time and scene?"

"The seasons are similar, but the scenery is very different," said Su Mei, pointing to the remote embankment on the north bank, "At that time, both sides of the bank were beaches, and the reeds stretched for dozens or hundreds of miles from north to south. It's like. After the embankments are built on both sides, the water is a little deeper, but the distance between the two banks is about twenty miles..."

"The widest point is less than 20 miles away. Looking at the newly drawn topographic map, Puzikou is as narrow as the neck of a bottle," Song Jia said, "There are only two narrow waterways that connect with Huangshuiyang outside, but the terrain is still It is low and difficult to live in, and the scale of the reeds in autumn is still quite large. However, the salt fields on both sides of the north and south take grass from there, and they are cut like the head of Lai Zi’s head in autumn, and there is really nothing to see..."

Su Mei smiled, and Xiaoman said, "Sister Song said it's easy. We are stuck in a small place all day, and it is not easy to get out of the city. It is a messy barren hill, and it is also a very beautiful scenery."

Xiaoman has been spoiled for the past two years after getting married, but she still has a straight temper; Su Mei took over the conversation and said, "People's livelihood is important, but it doesn't matter if they look good or not - I heard that after the dykes were built on both sides of Qingjiangpu, Yandu and Tinghu counties became An additional 20,000 households moved in. It is said that 10,000 households are large counties, and before Yandu there were more than 15,000 households..."

"No," Song Jia said with a slight smile, "in the past, the eleven counties of the two prefectures in Huaidong, Hailing, Huai'an, and Chongzhou Dingkou were a little more, and the other counties were barely enough to look like large counties. In a dangerous land with many mountains and few fields, Wanhu is naturally a large county, but on the Jianghuai Plain with flat terrain, dense rivers and lakes, and known as a land of fish and rice, a county with just over 10,000 households can only be regarded as a remote rural area. The construction of the embankment started before the Huaisi War. The adults recruited brave soldiers from the Huaisi people, and tens of thousands of family members had to be resettled. They could only build the embankment on the north bank to fill the beach and reclaim the land; An avenue connecting Huai'an and Shanyang has also newly encircled more than 100,000 mu of new fields on the south bank..."

Song Jia knew that among the girls, Su Mei had the most profound knowledge and knowledge, and she could not please her by discussing some short-term parents, so she talked about political affairs to suit her preferences.

Sun Wenwan said: "When I was a child, I went to Huaian with my father and brother, and people often died of hunger along the road. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, my heart was still desolate and desolate. In my opinion, the scenery along the way is much better than in previous years..."

"I'm the only one in a cage..." Xiaoman pouted and said gloomily.

"Little Madam is joking, which one of us has a better life with you," Song Jia asked with a smile, "It's because we are willing to be displaced, so why don't I tie the one who has to pay thousands of dollars to Huaidong and can't escape? "

Song Jia said this, but it made all the girls laugh, and the flames turned to Lin Fu.

Sun Wenwan still went north as a female official, but some things were unclear.

It was the three girls beside Song Jia, who were given to Lin Fu to play by Dan Luo Li and Jin Xiang at the beginning, and naturally they were the concubines of Ji. These three girls, even if Lin Fu didn't live in the house, could only be given to middle and lower-ranking officers as wives; high-ranking officials would accept them as concubines, but would not marry such a woman of unknown origin.

Sun Wenwan and Lin Fu had a marriage entanglement in their early years, and they spent a lot of time together in these years. Even if her mind was not on Lin Fu, which family in Huaidong would welcome Sun Wenwan to the door?

With Gu Junxun taking the lead and letting Sun Wenwan accompany him north, the matter was settled vaguely. Regardless of whether Lin Bie has the heart or not, this responsibility must be taken by him. In short, no man thinks there are too many women around him.

"By the way," Sun Wenwan asked Song Jia, "Your Excellency has always relied on you to plan for him. This time I went to Huaiyang, why didn't I take you with me, but decided to stay with us?"

"He probably thinks I'm going to be a hindrance to Huaiyang," Song Jia said in an ambiguous arrangement, "I don't think about his thin body. No matter where he chooses in this battlefield, he is no match for others!"

Su Mei pursed her lips and smiled, Sun Wenwan's pretty blushing blushed, knowing that Song Jia was talking about Liu Miaozhen, a girl in a red jacket. She is still a virgin now, and her speech is not as arrogant as Song Jia, so she kept her voice and stopped talking nonsense.

Xiaoman asked with great interest, "Is the red jacket girl really as powerful as the rumors say? I have seen General Zhou gently toss the ox-waist-sized stone grinding plate, and also knocked the red jacket girl off his horse. ?"

"General Zhou has never. I only heard that he was knocked off his horse and escaped in a panic. Afterwards, Master Qin and the others were furious. As a rule, he is no longer allowed to lead troops to meet the enemy," Song Jia said. "This legend of a thousand troops taking over the main commander alone has not been seen since ancient times, but the red jacket girl still looks like a thin and beautiful woman. , people really can't look like..."

Sun Wenwan nodded her head deeply. When Liu Miaozhen went to Chongzhou to meet with Lin Fumi, Sun Wenwan was in charge of living in Chongzhou, and Su Mei and Xiaoman were never seen.

The girls were chatting in the cabin to pass the time on the way, but Su Mei was quite attentive to ask Song Jia for political advice.

Su Mei is also very clear in her heart that Huaidong and Jiangning want to maintain a peaceful and united situation on the surface, and there will be no chance for Zhaoxue in the Sumen case in recent years. She wants to stay by Lin Fu's side and has the identity of a female official. Not to be invisible. As for the future, she doesn't care about any status or not.

The waters of the Qingjiang River are shallow, and it is not too fast to set sail, and discussing political affairs can also pass the time. Song Jia tried her best to tell Su Mei the difference between the situation in Huaidong and Jiangning.

According to the old map, the ten prefectures and seventy-eight counties of Jiangdong County, in real terms, will not be less than 2 million households, and on average, each county is about 25,000 households. In the past two hundred years, the Jianghuai land has been called "the richest world, the land of fish and rice", but it's not just talking about it. It's just that they are in the same Jianghuai Plain, and they are also divided into three, six and nine.

Jiangnan is relatively fully developed. In Pingjiang, Danyang, and Jiangning, there is not a single county with less than 30,000 households. In Jiangbei, Weiyang is the richest. There are 140,000 households in the five counties of Weiyang, which is slightly worse than Pingjiang, Danyang, and Jiangning. . The places along Hongzepu and the coastal areas, such as Haosi and Huai'an, were much poorer.

The difference between the small households in the counties is quite intuitive to reflect the gap between the rich and the poor.

The two prefectures in Huaidong barely reached the level of 30,000 households per county until last year after accommodating a large number of households who migrated south.

However, the wealth of the local does not mean that the strength is strong.

The development of Pingjiang, Danyang, Jiangning and other prefectures and counties has been dominated by local clan forces for nearly two hundred years. In the hands of the great landowner.

Over the past two hundred years since the Yuan Dynasty was founded, the population of Pingjiang Prefecture alone has more than doubled. A large number of lakes and marshes along the Taihu Lake and large tracts of beach land have been reclaimed into grain fields. It can be described as Yuanshi's financial missteps and incompetence.

However, in the past two hundred years, every time there was a discussion in the DPRK and China about re-measurement of land and property, some people jumped out and said that this matter violated the ancestral system. "The hat is often not feasible.

The two prefectures in Huaidong have only been extensively developed in the past four or five years, and are dominated by the military division.

First was the dredging of the Yunyan River, followed by the repair of the Hanhai Embankment, and then the embankments on both sides of Qingjiangpu were built. Now, the embankments and polders have been built in the territory of Huai'an Prefecture and along the east side of Hongzepu, all of which are mainly invested by the military commander. It is carried out with the main force of the brigades, supplemented by the recruitment of civilian households.

This also makes a large area of ​​newly added fields always under the control of the military commander.

This year's autumn grain collection has already begun. In order not to break through the line of 800,000 stone grains that had been negotiated with Jiangning at the beginning, Lin Fu decided to reduce the part of Hailing and Huai'an's land taxes to 40%, which means that the counties can The 1.2 million stone grains withheld from the land will be used for next year's local expenditures.

It is said that it is local expenditure, but it is actually under the overall planning of the military department.

First, the local water conservancy and road construction fortifications that workers, battalions and soldiers participate in ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ More expenses are borne by local governments. This part of the cost is the largest. This year, it is estimated that more than 600,000 stone grains are actually shared for the military division. financial pressure on the reserve personnel. In addition, various schools under the jurisdiction of the military division recruit outstanding children from the local area, and the fixed amount of room and board is also borne by the local area.

In addition to the expropriation of Tianfu, from the county to the inspection department to the village, the organization and mobilization ability of personnel, Huaidong is far from the seemingly prosperous places like Pingjiang.

In addition to the soldiers, Huaidong also had 120,000 soldiers to support. Even if these 120,000 soldiers were equipped with armor, they would definitely be better than those old soldiers of the Yuying Army.

"Don't look at the area under Jiangning's control, it is several times larger than that of Huaidong, but in terms of comparison, Huaidong is not much worse than Jiangning," Song Jia said, "It's just that those people in Jiangning are still in the fog. According to his words, at this time, it is even more necessary to keep calm and not show too much limelight. Maybe after next year, the 50,000 soldiers deployed on the northern front can be reluctantly incorporated into active duty, but after the final discussion, I decided to press it later. Pressure, wait for the foundation to be firmer, and then consider the counterattack."

"Oh..." Su Mei nodded thoughtfully. At this time, there were cheers from outside the cabin. Looking around, he could already see the Huai'an City Tower. They have already left Qingjiangpu and entered Baitang River. In addition to the Huaihe River in the north, the Baitang River is also an important waterway connecting Huai'an and Shanyang. At this time, the river is full of boats, and the sunset glows on the river. The golden waves are sparkling and very magnificent.

Lin Fu has obtained Jiangning's permission to move the Huai'an government office to Shanyang County, in order to better organize personnel and raise supplies in Shanyang to prepare for the war on the northern front.

Just like the decline of Hailing and the rise of Chongzhou, Huai'an County is doomed to decline since then, and Shanyang County will rise to become a famous city in Huaizuo. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
