Chapter 364: The Loom

After the New Year, in view of the abject poverty and lack of living materials for the relocated military dependents, Tian Xin once again put in 200,000 face value food stamps and increased the share of the Maicheng loom to the north.

The scale of Beifu expanded, and the group of officials who wanted to supervise Zhang Wen also expanded, so Zhang Wen expanded the school affairs and school affairs under his name.

The first task faced by the expanded school group was the distribution of food stamps, and most of the recruits from the expansion of Beifu were converted from the surrender of soldiers, and there was a phenomenon of oppression.

The larger the scale of Beifu and the more people it governs, the higher the likelihood of all kinds of strange incidents occurring.

Yang Bao, who changed his name to Yang Xian, became one of the twenty-four school officials because of Jiang Liang's recommendation.

There are different division of labor among school officials, some supervise the distribution of food stamps, some supervise the daily discipline of officials, and some specialize in thoroughly investigating the unauthorized minting and piracy of food stamps.

Yang Xian did not need to travel for the time being due to his injuries, so he was more relaxed, and was responsible for recording the prices of Dengcheng and the bulk flow of various materials, especially the Maicheng loom.

After a light snowfall in the New Year, Yang Xian wore a plain white uniform exclusive to the school and walked on the Xuanchijin Wharf in Dengcheng with a second lieutenant epaulettes, and he could see the new boat gang unloading grain.

In addition to grain, there are various farming tools, as well as spinning wheels and looms from Wheat City.

This boat gang hung the banner of Xu Zi, Marquis of Jianyang, which was developed by following Xu Zuo's rebellion, and belonged to the most trusted transportation force in Beifu.

The boat gang runs three routes, the first of which is the upper reaches of the Han River and the Danshui Basin.

The iron tools produced by the Marquis of Danyangyi and Wudang were transported to Hanxing County by them in exchange for good wood, charcoal, and iron ore; Then transport these back to Danyang-eup. In this process, the mountain people obtained cheap tools, increased productivity, increased their enthusiasm for cultivation, and also attracted the mountain people to continue to migrate and join the Deng State.

The second route is to take the Shuishui route of Dengcheng and Wancheng, which can reach the most upstream of the water, Shuyang Pass, where Zhang Fei has resumed iron ore mining and traded high-quality iron ore for urgently needed military rations.

In this round of trading, it was manpower for manpower, Zhang Fei was mining iron ore as much as possible, and the fleet was transporting as much military rations as possible.

There are two parts of the military rations transported, one part is the grain exchanged for iron ore, which belongs to normal transactions; The other part of the grain came from the official warehouse in Jingzhou, which was assisted by the Beifu in transshipment.

After being transported to Shuyang Pass, how to transport it back to Fangcheng is Zhang Fei's own business.

Now Bishui, Lishui, and Fangshui cannot be transported by water due to freezing; The water and Han water have thawed one after another, and they can barely be transported.

When the Bishui water system recovers its capacity, this route will also change, and then Zhang Fei's department will advance outward, and the military will resume production, and the existing Yongdao will be strengthened and repaired, so as to lay the transportation foundation for the army to go north in the future.

The third route is the Dengcheng, Jiangdu, Maicheng route, Maicheng's looms are divided into three sales, one is distributed according to the Li Society, the residents of the Li Society are shared, and the woven linen cloth is repaid to the loom...... This sales model is limited to the vicinity of Wheat City, and other areas are not available, and there are not enough looms to take care of these farther areas.

The second is that the merchants themselves go to the wheat city to buy looms and sell them everywhere on their own...... Last year, it still worked, but this year Nanyang moved too many empty-handed people, so they could only let this part of the money-making businessmen change jobs and do something else.

The third is that the loom is pulled to Jiangdu to be sold, and in this sales process, taxes will be paid to Jiangdu.

The tax rate is not high, but it is necessary to use 100 dollars, so the people lack the willingness to buy, and most of them are raised by counties and counties to procure.

The loom and the Zhibaiqian are in conflict, and ordinary people can barter to meet the basic exchange of living materials, which can avoid the squeezing of Zhibaiqian; Haoqiang has no shortage of looms, and it is ordinary people who lack looms, so this part of the looms can only be purchased by the county and used to reward the people in the country.

Therefore, there are fewer looms for free circulation and trade, and there are fewer looms sold in Jiangdu, and the main flow of looms is still in the hands of Beifu, and after satisfying the surrounding areas of Maicheng, it is now tilting towards the families of the soldiers of Nanyang and Dengguo.

The production speed of looms is always improving, and no matter how high it is, it cannot meet the needs of Jingzhou and Xiangzhou; The more than 100,000 households resettled in Nanyang, regardless of whether they are from Beifu or settled in counties, many families need looms. Without a loom, these people can only be reduced to the fish and meat of Nanyang's heroes.

The loom has become a powerful tool to prevent the expansion of the powerful under the household tax adjustment system.

Now Nanyang is stable in public security, land planning is in charge, and the only way for Haoqiang to expand is the economy. Another fist of Haoqiang's economic expansion is usury, which is not easy to solve for the time being.

The people who moved in had to pay the household survey, what should they do if they didn't have cloth? It can only rely on Haoqiang financially.

Not only did the people who moved in need looms, but also the subordinates and subordinates who were originally dependent on the powerful also needed looms.

As long as the household tax system remains unchanged, you will liberate the powerful and powerful forces today and return them to freedom; Tomorrow, because of the pressure of taxation, the people will be forced to rely on Haoqiang economically, continue to accumulate debts, roll profits, and finally pay off their debts, and their children and grandchildren will become Haoqiang's subordinates and generations of domestic slaves.

Not only the household tax system, as long as there is a similar poll tax, Haoqiang can gradually expand from the economic aspect, devouring the poor one by one and turning them into a part of themselves.

Now that the battle around the loom has just begun, the school officials must not only ensure that the food stamps can be fairly implemented to every household of the government soldiers, but also put an end to the counterfeit food stamps that may be circulated, but also ensure that the wheat city looms can be replenished to the government and military departments and barracks in an orderly manner.

The families of the soldiers would accumulate wealth far faster than the common people, and before the five-baht coin was fully circulated and occupied the position of the main currency, whoever mastered the loom would be able to mint a limited amount of coinage.

It is not necessary for the families of the government soldiers to be wealthy, they can be better and richer than the ordinary people around them, so that the vast majority of the government soldiers can maintain their enthusiasm for combat.

Economic status is more important than any propaganda, and as long as the poor and ordinary people see the affluent and prosperous life of the families of the soldiers, they will actively move closer to the soldiers and seek opportunities to join.

Facing the triumphant return of the Han army, as well as the hundreds of thousands of people pouring in from outside...... Nanyang Haoqiang has a cautious attitude.

Now if they show any mistakes, they will be caught and uprooted by Tian Xin.

A war machine against Nanyang Haoqiang has been in operation since the time when the wheat city loom was transported north.

Yang Xian, as a member of this machine, maintained Xuanchijin and kept the trade and transportation node that was gradually replacing Xiangyang running smoothly.

Xuanchi was originally the garrison of the Wei Army's Deng Sai Water Division, where enough ships could be berthed to avoid the Han River and the flood peak of the Huaishui River.

After the construction of Dengcheng, Xuanchi set up Jinguan, which was more dynamic than Xiangyang.

The two cities face each other across the Han River, and in the future, Dengcheng annexes Xiangyang, which is Xiangyang annexation of Dengcheng.

At this moment, Nanyang Haoqiang does not have many choices, so he can only actively seek a way to break the situation.

Yang Xian didn't know that Zong Pre, Lei Xu, and Meng Da returned with this boat gang, and did not come to Xuanchi, but took a boat along the Han River to the north, turning from the mouth of the Danjiang River into Danyangyi, to find Tian Xin to discuss the final solution.

Nanyang Haoqiang's poor performance on the battlefield may be due to bad luck, and he has lost his bargaining confidence after successive bad luck.

How to deal with Nanyang Haoqiang is also a matter that Liu Bei is very concerned about.

Among them, scale and proportion are very important, and a good start should be established, so that all localities can also have a reference target when dealing with domestic powers.

If it is not handled well, everyone in the counties will be in danger, and it may exacerbate the rebellion in Nanzhong.

What kind of character is Haoqiang, the officials naturally know very well, if you are strong, he will be soft, and if you are soft, he will be horizontal.

However, there are still a number of powerful people in the south of the country, and this group of people is rampant.

For the sake of Nanzhong Haoqiang's face, dealing with Nanyang Haoqiang can be smoothed out a little, so that Nanyang Haoqiang can accept all these changes emotionally.
