When attacked and worn as a farmer's daughter-in-law

After Fang Tianlin took over Linshan County, the old malpractices of serious illnesses were reduced a lot. The county government began to introduce new policies to encourage people to open up wasteland and farm land. Of course, it was limited to reclamation of wasteland.

Linshan County is a typical mountain forest county. Except for the small basin in the middle, it is surrounded by large and small mountains. The road is not as difficult as in the previous life, at least there is no need to take such dangerous mountain roads as plank roads to enter and leave Linshan County.

The first city wall in Shoushan Village was not very tall, but now that there is chaos outside, Fang Tianlin no longer hides it, and directly sent people to widen and heighten it, set up a guard post, and arranged several arrow towers in the village.

At the Shen family branch in Yanzhou City, Fang Tianlin also sent pigeons to deliver the news, instructing them not to spread the stalls too large, and to withdraw when the opportunity was wrong. The situation was really tense, so they joined forces to retreat to Linshan County.

The southwestern region was originally a relatively chaotic place in the Jing Dynasty, but now it is much better than the central and northwestern regions. In this regard, the two armies of Zhenning Pass and Jianing Pass have contributed a lot. Most of the bandits in the territory were wiped out by them. The troops only do mopping up work.

Having said that, the original purpose of suppressing the bandits was just to open up a business route, and the people in the southwest area could be regarded as being honored by the Shen family, and this situation will continue for a long time.

Even so, the external environment has more or less affected the southwest frontier, and the commercial roads are still smooth, but the caravan tolls have gradually increased. Every time a city is passed, the fees charged increase with time. High, I am afraid that the caravans in places as far away as Yanzhou City have stopped trading long ago.

Businessmen pursue profits, and businessmen will not do things that are not profitable.

After the situation in Linshan County stabilized, Fang Tianlin ordered all villages to train the people, not to mention that all the people are soldiers, at least the young and middle-aged should have the strength to fight.Fang Tianlin is also helpless. The population of Linshan County is too small, counting men, women and children, the total population is less than [-], and cannot afford too many soldiers. To strengthen combat power, we can only cultivate some reserve soldiers.

The plan can't keep up with the changes. Originally, Fang Tianlin planned to gradually promote the Shen family's fine breeds. In order to ensure the advantages of the Shen family, he would impose a restriction on the fine breeds, so that the seeds planted could not reproduce offspring. It is obviously not possible to do so now, at least not in Linshan County. .Fortunately, the matter happened before the autumn harvest, and this process has not been completed yet, so it will not delay the matter.

Linshan County's productivity is low, and a large amount of labor is needed during the busy farming season. Seeing that the autumn harvest is about to come, Shen Jiahe ordered the Huanggu craftsmen to rush to work for several days in advance, and produced a batch of farmland machinery, which was distributed to each village. The workshop supervised the subordinate craftsmen to make the shortage.

Although it is just some simple utensils, the efficiency of autumn harvest has also been greatly improved.

Because Linshan County is surrounded by mountains, the climate is not greatly affected by the outside world, and the frequency of disasters is slightly lower than outside, but there are advantages and disadvantages. The land is not very fertile, and the average yield per mu is not much higher than outside.

This year is an eye-opener, but the landowners and squires who planted the Shen family's fine varieties have significantly higher food production than before. The more barren the land, the higher the increase in production. Of course, the increase is only large. Surely the Fertile Lands are higher.

Facts are in front of them, the common people have sharp eyes, no need to say anything, they ran to inquire about the news, heard that there is a Shen family seed store in Xinghuo Village, they went to buy it one after another.The crops that can be planted in winter are no more than those in spring and summer, but there are also many. As long as the price of seeds is not high, they are willing to try now.

"Tianlin, is it appropriate to do this?" Shen Jiahe was a little worried. The order in Linshan County had finally returned to normal. With this amount of information, wouldn't it be afraid of another turmoil?

Everyone else here also agrees, Fang Tianlin's decision is indeed too risky.

"Jiahe, big brother, second brother, and fourth brother, if you were given a choice, do you think it is easier to accept a quick cut now, or is it more acceptable to promulgate this decree after Linshan County develops and grows?" Fang Tianlin didn't say anything else, directly asked rhetorically.

Hearing this, everyone at the scene fell silent after careful consideration.Postponing the issuance of Shenjia Star Coin will only make it more difficult. What they mean is not in this, but they do not agree with the issuance of new currency at all.The use of star coins in Huanggu is not a big problem. Anyway, this kind of currency will not have any impact on the outside world if it does not go out of Huanggu. However, if it is extended to the entire Linshan County, the resistance will be great.

After so many years, Shen Jiahai and others are no longer the same as before. They are no longer rural peasants in Guangyan Village who have little knowledge and fear officials like tigers.At the beginning, they may not be aware of the benefits of issuing currency, but after a long time, they will also see some clues.This one is more ruthless than any previous policy, which is tantamount to drawing the bottom line and completely tying the people of Linshan County to the Shen family.

Shen Jiarong, they are prosperous, Shen's family is defeated, at most only the superior party will be able to succeed, and the others will be completely defeated.And this is still under the condition that the Shen family is replaced by local people from Linshan County. If Linshan County is captured by outsiders, I am afraid that no family in the entire Linshan County will be able to survive.

Without him, once the Shen family is defeated, the currency system will completely collapse, and all the wealth accumulated in the past will be wiped out. No one from outside forces will recognize the currency issued by the Shen family.

The four Shen Jiahe brothers looked at each other. They all understood this truth. The benefits lie there, and the resistance can also be imagined. If a new currency must be issued, it should be sooner rather than later. The question is, is it really good to issue a new currency?

Shen Jiahe pondered for a while, and was the first to agree to this plan.Wealth and wealth are sought in danger, unless the star coins are always confined to the barren valley, otherwise if you miss the present moment, the obstacles will only increase in the future, and the Shen family has done this.

The remaining three brothers were full of helplessness. Since Shen Jiahe and his wife agreed, what else could they say?I can only give up my life to accompany the gentleman.They knew in their hearts that if Fang Tianlin hadn't moved the Shen family here, they still don't know what their situation is now.

After the members of the Shen family reached an agreement, Fang Tianlin immediately opened a mint workshop in Huanggu, this time not only making banknotes, but also minting alloy coins.Of course, as far as Araya's craftsmanship is concerned, they can only make some simple alloy formulas, and they can't make anything that is too complicated.

When the new batch of coins came out, they were not circulated in Huangu, but were directly pulled to Xinghuo Village.

Fang Tianlin didn't do anything, but ordered all the properties of the Shen family to accept the old money, but the star coins issued by the Shen family should be used when paying wages or changing money. The exchange rate is currently one star coin for one penny, and it will follow the market in the future.

Sure enough, there was an uproar in the audience, Fang Tianlin didn't explain, and directly dispatched the Shen family's guards and patrols to maintain order. A pen can't do anything with a gun, let alone the unarmed people.

You don't have to buy things, but the employees can't help but get paid.There are many people working in the workshops under the Linshan County Chamber of Commerce. After they get the brand-new coins, they are afraid that they will become waste paper, a piece of scrap iron, and some react quickly. The shop started to spend heavily.

Linshan County is now in the hands of the Shen family, and they will not backtrack so quickly. The best way to deal with it is to quickly exchange star coins for supplies.

There are people who take the lead, and there should not be too many people to imitate. On this day, the Shen family's shop was full of people, and the business was booming like never before.

The gentry in Linshan County had many eyes and ears, and they soon learned of the news, and each family had different reactions.But no matter whether they are friends with the Shen family or those who have not a deep relationship, without exception, their complexions are not very good-looking.

It's a pity that sometimes if you miss an opportunity, it's a wrong step. If you compromised at the beginning, it's obviously too late to resist now.The issue of new currency has the biggest impact not on the people of Linshan County, but on these landlords and squires.

How much money can the common people have?It's good if a family can come up with a few sticks, and more people are probably still working hard to fill their stomachs.Most of the wealth in Linshan County is concentrated among the gentry. Don't look at the current circulation of star coins in a small area. If this momentum continues, one day it will expand to the entire Linshan County.

At that time, all the money in their hands would be swallowed up by the currency issued by the Shen family, and the Shen family would be able to take them all down without any effort.In the future, unless they have the courage to abandon everything and start from scratch, they can only follow the path of the Shen family to the end.

The local gentry couldn't calm down for a long time, and the Linshan County officials' reaction might be even greater.Now the county government and army funds come from the Shen family, they can already expect to receive a pile of star coins on the day when the salary is distributed.

"My lord, the Shen family, the Shen family..." Ding Zhongqiu couldn't help being a little awkward at this moment.

Mo Zhixian paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, his face was serious, and he sighed after a long while: "Zhongqiu, the Shen family's move is really amazing! How did they come up with this idea? In the past, when the war broke out and occupied the mountain as king, There are countless examples of occupying the city, why is no one doing this? There are risks and benefits in this matter. If you don’t do it, there will be troubles in Linshan County. You have to let people watch and deal with it in time if you find something wrong. If you can’t handle it, report it to the The Shen family."

"My lord, aren't you worried that years of hard work will be in vain?" After Ding Zhongqiu returned to his study after delivering the order, he did not forget to ask his doubts.

"In today's troubled times, strength is the most important thing. The Shen family is already a rare and gentle leader. If it is another family, do you think Linshan County can have the current situation?"

Ding Zhongqiu shook his head.If you think about it with your feet, you can tell that, not to mention foreigners, even if anyone in the local area is in power, it is impossible to be better than now.Landlords and squires are just fine in this position, no matter how harsh the rule is, if the ordinary people who are at the bottom and usually oppressed occupy Linshan County, the fate of others is hard to say, but the officials and gentry will definitely have no good fruit.If you don't vent your past depression, the matter will not end.

"That's it. In troubled times, force is in power. With the strength of the county government, it can't beat others. It is the best situation for the Shen family to take over Linshan County. Whether the Shen family issues new coins or not, the result is the same for us. There is no future in being a fool, since you have already set foot on the Shen family's boat, you might as well take a gamble. If you become a skyrocketer, you will risk your life if you lose, not to mention that it is obviously not at this point now, life is worthless in troubled times!" Mo Zhixian He said it so righteously, but in fact he didn't know the bottom line.As he himself said, life in troubled times is cheap, I only hope that the Shen family can hold on for a little longer.
