Chapter 244: The Resonance of Northwest Politics

Wang Yan's thinking lasted for nearly half an hour.

Da Song has strict rules and etiquette, so the people around him just stood like this for a long time. The martial artist is fine, but Uncle Geng Tianqiu is not as good as the young man, and his legs have long been numb.

"My lord, can I speak?"

Suddenly, the crisp voice of the little girl who followed her broke the silence.

Geng Tianqiu still feels sorry for this child, but this girl was really convicted by Wang Yan and is a prisoner of the Great Song Dynasty. Don't talk about prisoners, even if they are just ordinary people, the official master can't interject if he doesn't ask, so Geng Tianqiu was a little anxious, hurriedly looked at Xiao Na and shook his head, signaling not to talk nonsense.

Cortana always looks very spirited and acts very stubborn.

Da Yan had already lost patience with this bear girl, so he said with bad intentions: "Forgive you for this rudeness, because I am also an impolite person." But don't mess with me unless you have itchy skin. ”

Can you organize more than 20 prison escapes, it is unscientific to say that Xiao Na is not stubborn, she still opened her mouth and said: "Every year when Funing County is close to winter, there will be a fire, and the government grain depot will be lost. At first, I thought this was a divine punishment after the government lost the hearts of the people. ”

β€œοΌŸβ€ Wang Yan was taken aback, because there was no record or explanation of this matter, and he tried to ask: "Did you hear someone talk about the series again?" ”

Xiao Na said with an embarrassed little appearance: "I didn't hear it this time, I saw it twice with my own eyes." It is not known whether there were people burned to death, but soon after each occurrence, some food was brought from the side of the Suide army. So that the people of Funing County will not be starved to death. ”

This time it's finally not a series, Wang Yan was stunned, didn't scold the little girl anymore, and looked at Geng Tianqiu.

Geng Tianqi twisted his beard and said: "From the books, it is a mess, and I have no clue about the ratio of grain income to expenditure, and I haven't had time to investigate this aspect in detail." However, what the girl said seems to have traces, because I owe a lot of grain to the Suide Army in the grain administration of Funing County, and I borrow it almost every year. But don't worry, my lord, I have already combed through the newspapers you wanted, and now I have the time to investigate the problems of food revenue and expenditure. ”

Wang Yan shook his head and said, "I don't need to check for the time being, just let me know how much food I owe to the Suide army." I have a bad premonition, God punishes natural disasters or something, but if the girl doesn't talk nonsense, man-made disasters cause these things, and they happen every year, then it rises to another level, and if you intervene casually, something will happen. ”

In the end, Wang Yan set the tone: "For the time being, if you don't investigate or publicize it, just a few core people will know about it." I need to sort out these things in my mind. ”

The attachΓ©s could no longer say anything and retired one after another.

After that, Wang Yan fell into endless paperwork again.

In the past, I only had to read Geng Tianqiu's newspapers cursoryly, but now I have to look at the original materials carefully.

Smart man, the previous magistrate is a really smart person, and he ran away with the risk of "waiting for work".

Before I came, I knew that this border town was a big pit, but I didn't expect the pit to reach this point, no matter how you look at it, it is terminally ill and hopeless. Wang Yan was the previous magistrate, one was incapable, the second was not the team and his own team, the third was not the army, and the fourth was not politically dependent. In the face of this chaotic frontier town, the county magistrate is simply filling in the holes, of course he has to run away.

At first, Wang Yan subconsciously thought that the county was hacked to death to cause public resentment. It is true that he also pulled hatred, and was hacked to death by the mob.

But now, with the gradual in-depth understanding of Funing County, the death of the county Cheng is more like being assassinated after making gloves, so that the county Cheng sold the entire package of Funing County on behalf of the imperial court, and the person died again, which became a fact and took the blame.

If a place wants to develop, people's hearts cannot be scattered, and after having dreams and people's hearts, people will take root, open up wasteland, and build.

But in fact, not only the hearts of Funing County are scattered, but the people who have the means have chosen various means to leave, and this area is dead, and no one is willing to invest in construction after the tide is formed, and the people who still stay in this place certainly have no intention of producing, just waiting for death.

At the imperial level, the situation in the border areas was always misguided, and the imperial court had no idea of the real border situation at all, and could only be classified as a "series of troubles caused by the Tangut people". Now it seems that the biggest enemy is oneself, and the argument that oneself is scared to death by oneself and one's own brain leads to physical death can be used in a border area like Funing County.

Even at the level of Li Shen of the Northwest Transshipment Division, he didn't know the specific situation and didn't have the time to understand this pit, so in Li Shen's cognition, Funing County had long been a place outside the world, and it was abandoned, but it couldn't be said publicly.

So in Li Shen's consciousness, the real border fortress is the Suide army. The political guide of this northwest governor has become an unspoken rule, which is enough to lead to the interaction between Funing County and the Suide Army, Funing County is full of blood and tears but cannot complain, and will never win this political lawsuit.

This is the difference between a concubine and an eldest son.

So in fact, the entire Funing County has become cannon fodder and slaves, and when nothing happens, they will be free-ranged, and they will not starve to death. When the situation changes, the only role of Funing County is to sacrifice, and then become the reason for Song Xia to start a war, it's as simple as that. This is the politics of the Northwest now, and the imperial court is encouraged.

"You obscene, don't let the master gain a firm foothold in the ambush on all sides. Because there are always things that have to be on the list. Thinking of this, Wang Yan muttered to himself.

Rhona didn't know what he was underestimating, but she looked at him with a very strange look. Recently, Rhona has discovered that although he is not in his right mind, he is a determined and strong person.

A firm and strong person is in human behavior, so he is a little bad, but he can also make people trust and feel safe. It's inevitable.

On the other hand, there is a type of person who moans all day without illness, sighs for a long time, and pours bitter water and says that it is difficult when he sees someone, and he may not think that he is actually a weak person, and no one will ever want to be powerful with the weak. And the weak will never be trusted, let alone feel safe.

If you can solve problems, you can make people feel safe. It's the law. The little girl is now looking at Wang Yan in YY, and thinks that if this person is not so bad and has fewer brain pits, it will be good.

The sky had already darkened, and the oil lamp was already lit in the study, which was made by the little girl.

Wang Yan gradually went deeper and learned that the real output of Funing County is minerals, coal and iron ore. On a regular basis, all of them were transported to the rear of the Suide Army for door-to-door delivery by catching strong men and serving them.

This can be regarded as the "export" of Funing County.

However, people export to make money, but Funing County exports to survive.

Therefore, the real problem of Funing County lies in the debt, and the minerals transported to the Suide Army are not even enough to pay the interest according to the statements.

There are two reasons for this: first, there is no popular support, and the output efficiency is too low due to improper methods. Second, the profiteers of the Suide Military Region, the creditors of Funing County, have depressed the price of minerals to the point of madness, which is not exploitation but robbery.

On this issue, the previous county lord was a "comprador", but he was hanged.

Logically, the contract can be changed if it is not fixed. However, Wang Yan believes that the biggest problem is that in addition to the comprador of the county, Funing County is sparsely populated, unable to transport long-distance, unable to find new buyers, and can only be sold to the Suidejun area at a low price.

Wang Yan can even be sure that if he has found a new buyer, he may face "accidents", such as being robbed and killed, in short, there are too many horse thieves and bandits here, everything is possible in the border war area, and all problems can be borne by the Tangut people.

About grain and arable land.

The problem is that it is mainly concentrated in the sensitive areas in the north, and it is listed as an area that is "not recommended for farming" in terms of government policy, because it is easy to cause problems in diplomacy and misunderstanding. However, this is, and Han Qi suggested that those rampant peasants go to cultivate areas that are more sensitive than this side, which scared the emperor and the rich Zhang Fangping and others enough.

The problem in Funing County is that all the arable land is in the hands of the government. Since the Northwest Transshipment Division already has "guidance that farming is not recommended", in this situation, if the fields belong to the common people, they will of course plant in order to eat. However, if it is a field owned by the government, the consuls will not plant it in order to avoid being responsible. In addition, religious ideas spread severely, and all of them became lazy people waiting for soup kitchens, and most of those fields were deserted. Only a smaller part of the rear was planted.

But only that part of the cultivation should be enough based on the principle of Funing County's policy of giving porridge and not starving to death.

However, Funing County still owes a lot of grain to the Suide Army. This incident should be extended to the problem that the little girl said, "Every year before winter, there will be a fire in the granary".

Combined with a key news earlier, "the county Cheng and some people had a dispute", Wang Yan judged that the other party was from an official background, and these issues seemed to be closely related and would be very complicated.

Where did the men go?

The result of Zhanzhao's investigation was to do coolies for the Suide army officials and build an offensive with inhuman treatment. In exchange for the official loan of grain by the Suide Army to Funing County to continue its life.

Such a strange thing has really happened. Under the unspoken rule that Li Shen, the economic marshal of the Northwest, politically acquiesced to the fact that Funing County was cannon fodder and the Suide Army was the real border fortress, coupled with the promotion of various compradors and profiteers, a resonance effect was formed, and all this became possible.

The Suide army didn't dare to use the people in their own jurisdiction to do this, because Fan Xiang was degraded because of this.

So to put it simply, all parties have promoted the formation of the current situation of "labor dispatch in Funing County".

These are the situations in the Golden Triangle, or how the Golden Triangle came to be. The so-called five catties of salt for one cow is expressed as twenty catties of grain for one person in Funing County. This is the resonance formed under the action of many forces, and when the contradiction is really prominent and cannot be suppressed, it will inexplicably occur in the battle of Song and Xia to reshuffle the cards, and then the spring breeze blows and rebirths, entering the next round of cycle.

The wonderful thing is that anything happens in this area normally. The courts of both Song and Xia could point to each other and say "you did it". In fact, God knows the actual situation, in short, after Wang Yan witnessed the situation in Funing County, he no longer believed the reason for the Song-Xia War in the history books.

Reading all kinds of information, while recording his own analysis and experience, and inferences, it was late at night, and the little girl was standing next to her and yawning.

But at this point, Wang Yan couldn't suppress his annoyance, got up and kicked the entire desk over, and said: "Crazy! Selling the people and land of my Funing County to this point is not a traitor, but it is more hateful than betraying the country! Who would have thought that the nonsense of 'the biggest enemy is yourself' is right here! ”

The sleepy little girl was so frightened by this sudden movement that she jumped up, and hurriedly cleaned up, and she looked at Wang Yan with a very strange gaze.

Da Yan didn't pay attention to the little prisoner, and after walking two steps with his hands behind his back, he stopped and muttered to himself: "If Funing County wants to develop, there must be people, and those men must go home, in addition to letting them come back, they must also let them know: this is home." ”

The little girl who was "in prison" was very moved when she heard the word "go home", but she was worried: "But after I come back, Funing County will be hungry, and there will be nothing to eat." ”

Wang Yan didn't notice that she was talking, nodded and said: "Of course, food is also a problem, this has to be done in two steps, the first step is to buy grain to support this winter." The second step is self-reliance, dividing the land into households, and the following year began to make use of the cultivated land in the north. ”

The little girl's local Bai Xiaosheng's small appearance raised two questions: "The border grain is so expensive that it may not be sold to us by the Suide Army." Then the cultivated land in the north was planted by people in the past, but in the face of harassment by all kinds of people in the three mountains and seven villages, the loss was too great, and slowly no one went. ”

Wang Yan said: "As a son, you can just open your mouth to eat, where to manage so much, I am my father in this place, I am responsible for taking care of the family, and if there is a problem, I will do it." That's what I brought the Shenji Camp to do, in principle, I'm responsible for cutting people, and you're responsible for serving tea and pouring water, farming, and supporting me and the Shenji Camp, isn't it simple? ”

The little girl adored him very much, and looked at him with a smile.

As a result, after Da Yan finished complaining, he found out that he was talking to a little prisoner girl, so he slapped her on the back of the head and said: "Why are you still stunned, hurry up and bring hot water, it's late at night, I'm going to wash and sleep." ”
