Chapter 563: The Strategy Division's Response

Wherever the canal flows, most of the fields are watered with good water, and if they are diverted, the high-yielding watered fields will become low-yielding dry land.

This is the biggest problem, and the biggest obstacle to the dredging of the canals, the current canals in the counties of the Ming Dynasty, and the fields through which the canals flow, are all the result of the bureaucratic gentry fighting for water from generation to generation.

Suddenly the canals had to be dredged, and in case their own high-quality watered fields turned into dry land, it would be the lifeblood of the bureaucrats and gentry.

How to compensate, whether it is silver or land, how much to compensate, etc.

It's all a complicated problem, and this is not a two-family field, but a county-wide field.

These loyal admirers of Maoist thought also opened Song Shihui's eyes and saw what mobilization ability is.

The mobilization ability of these Maoist ideological admirers is so strong that even Zhu Shun and the crown prince Zhu Cihong, as well as themselves, did not expect it.

There had never been a successful dredging of a canal by a bureaucratic squire, and not only did they succeed, but it took only a month.

A problem that doesn't necessarily work out in 10 years.

It only took a month.

It's a bit appalling, if this reaches the capital, it is estimated that no one in the Donglin Party will believe it.

Where would Zhu Shun and the crown prince Zhu Cihong care about the ideas of the Donglin Party, it is better not to believe it, so that the industrial faction can continue to make a fortune in silence.

The year of land reform has also become the busiest year for Prince Zhu Cihong, and it is also the most fulfilling and happy year.

The canal in Miyun County was successfully dredged, and the next step was the promotion of thousand-pound rice and the planting of dryland potatoes.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong became the second emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty other than Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who really knew how to farm, although he was still only a prince.

Prince Zhu Cihong has a clear understanding of the harvest of one acre of land, the harvest of drought years, and the harvest of normal years.

They even know how much grain they need for an acre of land, rent oxen and iron ploughs, buy strounce stone, and so on.

I clearly know how much food the people can leave in their hands when they are busy all year round, and I also know how far the people of Daming have been squeezed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong had an extremely deep understanding of the people's suffering from the inside out, and made up his mind that he would never have any additional assignments to the people in the future.

This is Zhu Shun's good intention to let the crown prince Zhu Cihong personally participate in the land reform, that is, to make him an emperor who really knows the suffering of the people, instead of why not eat meat.

During the month when Zhu Shun and the crown prince Zhu Cihong dredged the land, the Wang family, one of the four major Jin merchants, sold all the grain used by the official warehouses of Shuntian Mansion to help the villagers at a very low price.

The grain in the official warehouse was sold, and all the Donglin Party officials replaced it with sand and gravel, and they didn't care so much about whether it was used to help the victims or the food for the border army.

As long as you can get the silver, let alone the grain in the official warehouse, even the Donglin Party dares to resell it in the year of military rations, in exchange for a large amount of silver.

Because of borrowing the name of suppressing the crown prince Zhu Cihong and the industrial faction, the Wang family used a very low price of silver, which was so low that Wang Dayu, the helmsman of the Wang family, laughed all day long during this time.

The granaries of the Wang family, one of the four major Jin merchants, were all fully stored, and seven or eight large granaries were built to store all the grain.

At the same time, Liu Zehong, who was under the command of Zu Dashou, also wrote a letter in the name of Man Gui and sent it to the flour Song family.

It is said that Shanhaiguan is now very short of grain, and hopes that the flour Song family can sell a batch of grain to Shanhaiguan, and the amount of grain just consumes the inventory of the Song family's mill.

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Liu Hongze even did not hesitate to burn down several grain depots in Shanhaiguan and blame the Manchus.

This letter has become a fact, Shanhaiguan is really short of food now, but the person who wrote the letter is Liu Zehong.

Song Yingsheng, who presided over the Song family's industry, was one of the great talents of the industrial faction's strategy department, and immediately doubted the authenticity of the letter.

Before the beginning of spring, Shanhaiguan had just pulled away a batch of potato flour from the Songjia Mill, and it was all sold to Shanhaiguan at cost price, needless to say.

It was Cao Wenzhao who escorted the potato flour, and with the courage and skill of Cao Wenzhao and Cao Jiajun, there would definitely be no problems along the way.

In this way, there should be no shortage of food in Shanhaiguan, there must be other reasons.

Song Yingsheng put down the brush in his hand and stopped writing to give Cao Wenzhao some strategic advice, Cao Wenzhao has been like a tiger without shackles since he left Dalinghe Fort.

The Manchu Beylers who were still happy to capture the Dalinghe Fort did not know what kind of fierce god they had released, and it would not be long before they would have to reap the consequences.

Cao Wenzhao's best tactics are as erratic as the champion Hou Huo's illness, which makes people never touch their hair, but staying in Dalinghe Fort has become his shackles.

At the beginning, Huang Taiji evacuated from Shanhaiguan so quickly, partly because of the power of the artillery in the industrial city, and another unknown reason.

That is, after Cao Wenzhao left Dalinghe Fort, he did not retreat to Daming, and was so bold that he dared to attack Shengjing of the Manchu Qing Dynasty with 800 people.

Huang Taiji heard that Cao Wenzhao was going to attack Shengjing, and the news that tens of thousands of troops were wiped out came from the industrial city, so he did not hesitate to retreat immediately.

After Cao Wenzhao escorted the grain and grass, he once again disappeared at the Daming border pass with the eight hundred elites selected from the Cao family's army, and went to Beihaier Lake, which was known as the granary of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

After these years of continuous study, Song Yingsheng already had a world view in his mind, so he planned a strategic proposal for Cao Wenzhao to ally Tsarist Russia to attack the Manchus.

But now there are more important things to do, Song Yingsheng called an account office of the Anti-Corruption Bureau: "You go to check what major movements the Donglin Party and Jin Merchants have made recently." ”

A day later.

The account office of the Anti-Corruption Bureau pushed open the wooden door with an anxious face, and said eagerly: "Mr. Song is not good, Jin merchants are going to take advantage of this year's drought to start hoarding Juqi." ”

"Hoarding." Song Yingsheng muttered two sentences, thought deeply for a long time, and roughly understood in his heart that the Donglin Party and Jin Shang wanted to use the drought to destroy the land reform in Miyun County this time.

Song Yingsheng immediately handwritten a letter, asking a disabled border soldier to send it to Miyun County as quickly as possible and to the hands of the industrial marquis.

When Zhu Shun received this letter, he was standing on the barrage dam, looking at the vast reservoir and relaxing.

The crown prince Zhu Cihong, Gu Yanwu, Yan Yingyuan and others are also here.

During this time, as long as the prince Zhu Cihong and others are tired, they will come here to enjoy the scenery of the land of fish and rice.

The Miyun Reservoir has also become the best place for them to relax.

After reading the letter in his hand, Zhu Shun handed it to the prince Zhu Cilang beside him, and couldn't help laughing: "The Donglin Party and the Jin Merchants are going to take advantage of the drought this time, and they will pit us again." ”
