Chapter 306: Deliberations
On the fifth day of the first month of March, the day of the small hall meeting in the Shuai Mansion. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info all the directors and deputies of the division and the water and infantry in the army were all present, Zhao Yu was sick for five days this time, and the officials of the Shuai Mansion also came to visit after hearing about it, and they also sent people to send all kinds of supplements when they heard the letter from afar, and they were nervous one by one, lest something happen to him. This made the palace really lively for a few days, and he had a cold that caused the chickens and dogs in the handsome mansion to jump. He was embarrassed, and hurried to work after he got better, so as not to have to accompany the smiling face every day.
"The palace marshal died a martyr to save His Majesty, and he died well, and his spirit in the sky will still protect my Great Song Dynasty, Lord Jiang, please mourn." Zhao Yu first greeted Jiang Xuan, who had returned from the Xingchao.
"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, if my uncle listened to His Highness's advice, he wouldn't be like this, but the Jiang family still feels His Highness's great kindness." Jiang Xuan bowed deeply to His Royal Highness, this time he still heard Jiang Cheng talk about the incident in Jiazi Town that day, and only then did he know that His Royal Highness had already warned his uncle.
"Well, there's no need to be polite." Zhao Yu said weakly, "If this king can leave the palace marshal in Qiongzhou that day, he may be able to avoid this catastrophe, but ......"
"This is all providence, Your Highness doesn't have to blame yourself too much." Jiang Xuan saw His Royal Highness's sad face, and hurriedly comforted.
"Now that the state affairs are difficult, the house is inseparable from the adults, and the king has no choice but to ask the adults to stay in office, please forgive me!" Zhao Yu bowed his hand and said.
"When the national disaster is at the head, subordinates should be loyal to the country!" Jiang Xuan returned the salute and stepped back.
"Lord Jiang, you just came back from Qizhou Island, how is the situation in the Xingchao now?" Ying Jieyan asked.
"Fu Shuai, after the dynasty moved to Qizhou Island, Lu Xiufu presided over the government with Lu Xiufu as the right minister, the privy deputy envoy Zhang Daren was in charge of military affairs, and Zeng Yuanzi was reinstated as the governor to assist the land minister in managing the government. At present, the island is building a palace with great construction, and it seems that it will be permanently located here. Jiang Xuan replied.
"How are the Queen Mother and Your Majesty?" Ying Jieyan nodded and asked.
"Fu Shuai, my uncle paid tribute, and the Queen Mother and Her Majesty sent someone to send the ceremony, but they were not summoned, so I don't know the details, I think everything is fine." Jiang Xuan replied.
Zhao Yu and Ying Jieyan have basically learned about these situations, and the Q&A in the hall is intended to inform everyone of them. Liu Zhu then reported the situation of the battle of Qinzhou, and the whole process basically acted according to the plan, destroying the two water villages of Qinzhou and Hepu of the Yuan army under the first battle, burning more than 400 enemy warships, and killing and wounding more than 4,000 enemy soldiers. Therefore, the battle was a surprise attack, and a long-range attack was carried out with rockets, so our troops suffered few casualties, and unfortunately although the results of this battle were abundant, they were not captured.
Now that the Shuaifu army defeated Liu Shen first, and then completely destroyed the Ali Hague Naval Division, there is no invincible naval army in the Liangguang region, and Qiongzhou can be safed for a while. Zhao Yu ordered to reward meritorious service and inform all states and counties of the results of the battle, so as to boost the morale of the army and reassure the people. And he also knew that after the two wars, although the Shuaifu army was famous, it also exposed its strength and attracted the attention of the enemy, and it was inevitable that it would have to continue to fight in the future.
Subsequently, Chen Zeweng, deputy transit envoy, reported on the situation of refugee resettlement and land reclamation. Since last year, more than 20,000 households have come to Qiong, including more than 26,000 and more than 87,000. Among them, more than 3,000 households are placed outside the city of Qiongzhou, more than 60,000 acres of land are cultivated, and ten miles of canals are repaired; 17,000 households were relocated to the Jiyang Army, more than 300,000 acres of land were cultivated, and with the assistance of the Heavy Army, 30 miles of canals were built and seven water storage dikes were built. More than 15,000 houses were built for the resettlement of refugees, and more than 400,000 yuan of resettlement fees were distributed, 5,000 head of cattle, 60,000 stone of grain, and a batch of agricultural tools, costing nearly 1 million yuan.
At present, according to 25 households and one guarantee, 50 households are one large guarantee, and 200 households are one mile of households. At the same time, according to the principle of drawing one ding from two households, the township soldiers were organized and trained, each mile was a team, and each big bao was a group, training during agricultural slack, serving as a reserve army in wartime, and accepting dispatch from the nearest prefecture and county. At the same time, each mile is equipped with two tutors and one township doctor, and the state and county subsidize salaries to serve the township.
Now that the resettlement work has come to an end, the seeds can be planted as soon as the agricultural season comes, but the distribution and collection of taxes have not yet been decided. Therefore, it is necessary to make a decision as early as possible in order to reassure the people. Zhao Yu asked everyone to discuss the plan, and then report it to the production department, and then discuss it after reviewing it himself.
Later, Ying Jieyan thought that in the Battle of the Seven Continents Ocean, the dragon ships of the Destroying Front Army performed the best and achieved the greatest results. It is proposed to use the captured warships to rebuild 30 dragon ships, and at the same time divide the Destroyer Army into two, restore the Brave Army, and expand it into two teams of sailors with dragon ships as the main warship; In addition, in view of the weakness of His Highness's personal guard battalion, it should be expanded. In order not to increase the financial expenditures of the Marshal's Mansion and not to increase the existing number of troops, he suggested that one commander and one guard battalion should be transferred from each army and navy of the Marshal's Mansion to be merged into a Marshal's Guard Army, with a troop size of 5,000 troops.
Ying Jieyan's proposal was unanimously approved without waiting for Zhao Yu to express his position, and everyone knew that he could prevent His Highness from participating in the battle once he wouldn't participate in the battle, and it was impossible to block him from going to the battlefield every time. And the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, swords and guns have no eyes, if one of them can't see the damage to His Highness, everyone is dead, and it's always good to have one more person. Therefore, he expressed his full cooperation with Fu Si's arrangement, and the elite soldiers in the army will be supplemented into His Royal Highness's pro-army. Zhao Yu had already planned to expand the pro-guard battalion, but he had not yet had time to discuss with Ying Jieyan, and today he took the initiative to expand the pro-guard battalion by five times, which was really unexpected, and he couldn't figure out what medicine the old man was selling in his gourd for a while......
Three days later, the land distribution and tax plan prepared by the Transit Division, together with the Changping Division and the General Bureau, was reported to Zhao Hao's desk, and he had a headache just by looking at it. He couldn't help but have a variety of land uses, and the collection of various taxes and fees was even more dazzling, so he had to summon Zhuang Shilin into the mansion to explain it to himself before he understood the meaning. In general, there were two kinds of cultivated land in the Song Dynasty, one was private land and the other was official land. Mintian refers to the private land of landlords and yeoman farmers, while official land refers to land owned by the state or the emperor. Guantian includes tuntian (the field of military food), Yingtian (the field of civilian military food), Zhitian (the field of supplementing the officials), Xuetian (the field of running a school), Cangtian (the field of storage and relief), and the public field (the field managed by the central or local officials, such as Guanzhuang).
The land endowment is basically divided into five types, one is the endowment of public land, that is, the rent levied on official fields such as Guanzhuang, Tuntian, and Xuetian. Official land is generally cultivated by peasants, and the state levies official rents (tenant rents), which account for about one-third of the harvest. In addition to the tenant rent, there is also a general land tax. The two are combined, and the endowment of Guantian is about half; the second is the endowment of private land, that is, the endowment of the people's private land, which is generally given by tithes; the third is the endowment of the city, which is the house tax and land tax levied on urban residents; Fourth, the miscellaneous endowment is a local specialty levied from all over the country, which is a harsh levy in addition to the positive endowment; The fifth is the endowment of Ding Kou, which is the money and rice of Ding Nan levied on Ding Nan in the southern region. But that's just the surface, and there are all sorts of other extras...... (To be continued.) )
