Chapter 271: Jinghai is boiling


Six days later, at the official office of Jinghai Acropolis, the new commander of the guards, Zhao Lie, summoned his generals for a consultation.

Two days ago, Chang Runing transported his belongings away, vacated his official residence, and went to Linqing to take up his post.

Escape from Denglai is a great victory in his opinion.

As for the rest, Yang Jingtang, Zhao Lie and others should be strangled to death.

When Zhao Lie took office last time, Chang Runing, the three accompanying commanders of Qianhu from the Four Thousand Households below, went out to the capital.

Only Fan Youlu, a Qianhu from the Central Thousand Households, reported illness and was unable to go out at home.

This was also because he was The commanders all knew about Tang Qian's distant relatives, so they used Tang Qian's name to avoid the expedition.

At that time, Chang Runing was involved in a lawsuit with Yang Jingtang, and he didn't dare to provoke Tang Qian even if he had the courage to do so.

Even if he speculated that Fan Youlu and Tang Qian were not close, he did not dare to take the risk.

In the near future, Chang Runing is seeking his own death.

Yang Jingtang has already been offended.

If he offends Tang Qian, the acting capital official, he will offend all the superior officials, so that's a good thing.

So Chang Runing could only hold his nose and admit that Fan Youlu was indeed ill.

When Zhao Lie took office, Fan Youlu still excused himself because of his illness, which showed that he was really ill.

Therefore, after this consultation, all the thousand households in the four thousand households stations were present.

"You were all my bosses and colleagues in the past, and we have always gotten along well with each other.

Now that I have taken office, I hope you can help me a lot."

Zhao Lie was a newly promoted person, and he saved enough face for these former colleagues with his words.

"The commander is a famous general in the Ming Dynasty.

He is the son of an old slave who was killed in formation.

He belongs to the Jin royal family.

He has been promoted in the military.

All my subordinates admire him and dare not not do his best."

Wu Hai was the first to express his position, with a full attitude of following the wind.

Showing the true nature of a tumbler.

Of course, other generals agreed.

Is it possible to go against the boss?

Not everyone has a father who is a third-grade officer.

The most envious and jealous people here are Tang Rong, Ma Youjun, and Wang Geng who went on the expedition.

Following Chang Runing on the expedition, they slept in the open and in fear.

But he watched helplessly as all the commanders of the guards took all the credit from Zhao Lie.

Now he saw that many commanders of the guards were promoted because of this, but they only got a little money and food.

Don't mention this frustration.

Now that Zhao Lie is also in the upper position, they are definitely not thinking about it, but the superiority and inferiority are there, and you have to be convinced.

"Everyone, many of our Ming army will be defeated in Gyeonggi Province in this campaign.

Why, the military strength under my command is not enough to resist the slave establishment, and I, Denglai, have the important task of fighting against the slave establishment in Liaodong.

I don't want to end up like them in the future.

The general fate is to be defeated and killed."

Zhao Lie stared at the generals below one by one, and his subordinates also listened attentively to Zhao Lie's arrangements.

They roughly knew that this was where the drama was coming.

"For this reason, I have decided to allocate acres of land to the Jinghai Guards like Chishan to grow grain and livestock.

At the same time, I will train and prepare the army to be ready for war at any time."

The dozen or so people below immediately began to whisper among themselves, and the news shocked them.

In addition to the acres they apparently owned, they also swallowed up a large number of military households' acres and asked military households to serve as their tenants.

Some of these acres changed owners and became their private property, while others were still ostensibly military households. of acres.

Just controlled by them.

If they followed Zhao Lie's arrangements, wouldn't they suffer huge losses?

Wu Hai remained calm and expressionless.

During his years in Jinghaiwei, his family had owned 10,000 acres of land, but it had been turned into private property by him.

He was really not afraid.

How could Zhao Lie dare to take someone away from him?

Private property is asking for death.

"Everyone, listen to me."

Zhao Lie asked everyone to discuss a few words.

"The acres of land in your hands are private property, so there is no problem.

If it is not private property, I will allow you to spend one or two silver per acre to change it."

It becomes one's own private property."

The average farmland in Ming Dynasty cost only four or five taels of silver per acre.

Nowadays, it only costs one tael of silver to register at the guard station, which is also Zhao Lie's grace.

"However, you only have this kind of land in your hands.

No one is allowed to make any plans for the newly reclaimed land by military households.

If they annex these acres privately, I can't compare to Yang Jingtang and Chang Runing."

This sentence is a threat to Ci Guoguo.

If you want to fight against Zhao Lie, think about Yang Jingtang and Chang Runing.

How about they fight against Zhao Lie.

Dare to criticize the superior officer Yang Jingtang here, which shows that Zhao Lie is becoming more and more domineering.

But no one below thought that Zhao Lie was talking nonsense.

They knew exactly how Yang Jingtang and Chang Runing were slapped in the face.

"Your Excellency, you are so kind to us.

How dare we be half-hearted?

I, Tang Rong, am so grateful that we can keep so many acres of land.

I will never do anything greedy and greedy again."

Tang Rong saw that the rough man was actually extremely shrewd.

Now that there are benefits and Zhao Lie is so interested in the farmland, why would he give it up before it is good?

How dare he violate the law?

Look at the big guys like Yang Jingtang and Chang Runing, who are helpless against Zhao Lie.

They even got a bruise on the nose and a swollen face. , I might as well forget about my small body and let it go.

Others also came to their senses and hurriedly agreed.

"Thank you for your respect for Zhao," Zhao Lie said with a smile and cupped his hands, showing great satisfaction, "In addition, each thousand-household garrison guard city must be reorganized and trained.

It should be noted that only unified training can we cooperate with each other in the face of war.

But It can be of great use.

Of course, if there is a battle, you don't have to go out, the general will bear the responsibility."

This time, the reaction of the four thousand households was very fast, and they all expressed their agreement.

Just kidding, they finally understood clearly during this battle that they had only seen Jian Nu's ferocity and cruelty, but they really didn't want to fight against Jian Nu in their entire lives.

However, it was the Denglai Army's duty to assist Liao Town.

Since Zhao Lie could take away this hot potato, of course they had no objection.

As for whether Zhao Lie controlled the military power for his own selfish purposes, it is really a joke.

How did Li Chengliang end up in the end?

He is not just an obedient servant, not to mention that Zhao Lie only controls more than 2,000 troops, so what is the fuss about.

In short, this meeting was a harmonious and united meeting.

At least on the surface it was very harmonious.

Both parties were satisfied.

After the meeting, they got drunk in the restaurant and everyone left happily.

The next day, the fields in Jinghaiwei will be measured, the fields will be divided equally, the wasteland will be reclaimed, and irrigation wells will be built.

At the same time, they will be tax-free for three years.

Three years later, notices stating that every ten taxes will be taxed at one rate will be all over every village, and Jinghaiwei will be excited.

Many military households were illiterate, and when the notice was first placed in front of them, they did not know that it was actually a major event closely related to them, until someone who was literate spread the news.

Immediately, almost all the military households couldn't sit still.

They no longer looked forward to the fields day and night, hoping that this day would come as soon as possible, and even the work was a little absent-minded.

As for those who have acres of land, they are also looking forward to it, because many of their acres are farmed due to lack of water.

If irrigation wells are built, wouldn't all their acres become fertile farmland?

If this output is added to the tax of 10%, then How much food is left?

Life at home is really not that good.

The military households inquired among acquaintances one after another, and even went to Jinghai Guard City to inquire.

When they found out that it was Mr.

Zhao Lie, the former commander of Qianhu at Zuo Qianhu Station, who was in charge of the matter, they all believed it, and the entire Jinghai Guards immediately Caught in ecstasy.

Why, that’s because Zuo Qianhu’s good days have been there for the past three years.

I think back then, Zuo Qianhu’s land was the most barren, military households were the poorest, and there were the most refugees.

Many military households couldn’t marry their wives, but now they can.

It was the eldest girls of Jinghaiwei who were crying and clamoring to marry into Zuo Qianhu's house.

Why, it wasn't because Mr.

Zhao Lie and Zhao dug wells to equalize the fields of Zuoqian households to reduce taxes, so that the military households in Chishan lived a good life.

Therefore, when they heard that Mr.

Zhao Liezhao was in charge of this matter, the military households immediately knew that good times were coming.

Almost every day they inquired about where to divide the fields, when to dig wells for composting, to open up wasteland, etc.

They talked about such topics day and night, and they never tired of it.

Under all the noise and the attention of more than 10,000 people from Quanjing Haiwei, old and young, Zhao Lie sent Xu Hong to lead a team of more than 200 people from Youqianhu Station to measure the acres and verify the account books.

At this time, the measuring manpower was sufficient.

The so-called measuring of acres was nothing more than measurement and simple calculation, summarization and registration.

It was not difficult for many military households in Zuoqianhusuo after years of studying and learning calligraphy, not to mention there were orphans.

There are plenty of people in the courtyard to help with the nearly adult children.

Therefore, the progress was very fast.

It only took about ten days to complete the measurement and verification of the acres of land in Youqianhu Station and re-register it.

Then the team began to pay attention to measurements and verifications from west to east and north.

Wherever they went, the military households gave warm hospitality and took the team members to their homes for dinner.

Although it was not a very good meal, they did their best to provide it.

The family's financial situation made such people extremely moved, and they accelerated the progress one after another.

At this time, Tang Xianwen had already begun to raise funds for reclaiming wasteland, composting, seeds, livestock, and irrigation wells in Shidao.

Based on Zuo Qianhushu's experience, since many military families have no money left, if they are allowed to slowly reclaim wasteland, they may not be able to completely reclaim it even after the three-year tax holiday.

It should be noted that reclaiming wasteland also requires money. .

In addition, they have never seen compost, not to mention the cultivation of sweet potatoes and corn, and irrigation wells cannot be built by each household.

This requires coordinated actions from the health office.

Tang Xianwen's method was to deploy personnel from the military households in Shidao to help the military households in Qianhu Station compost, dig wells, and open up wasteland.

At the same time, he also taught step-by-step how to plant and store sweet potatoes and corn.

These require some coordination.

You have to know how many villages there are, how many personnel are assigned to each village, and how much the salary is.

Of course, these personnel must be paid.

In fact, it is not necessary to pay, but with the salary, they will be more motivated.

In addition, if there is a problem, it is easy to pursue it.

After all, if you get money, it is in the nature of employment, but if you don't get money, it is a matter of help.

If you don't teach you well, you will just scold you, and there is really no way to go into it.

When Tang Xianwen reported it to Zhao Lie, Zhao Lie was very satisfied with Tang Xianwen's plan.

It was thoughtful, strong in execution, and very attentive.

To be honest, all his companions back then had already taken on their own roles and were of great help to Zhao Lie.

Now, They are all Zhao Lie's right-hand men.

Of course, Zhao Lie also put forward his own opinion, which is to hire local people as much as possible when digging wells and other matters.

Shidao only provides the most basic guidance personnel, so that local people can earn more money.

First, let local military households earn more.

Some money and food can be used to invest in land reclamation, and the other is to allow local military households to return home as soon as possible
