Han Daochang was in Wujinling, and naturally knew more about the situation inside Huaiyang Mountain than Yuan Guowei, and immediately explained to Han Daoming and Qiao, Chen and other family members:

"Baimajian to the north, Huazhujian to the east, Huaiyang Mountain belongs to the mountainous areas of Huozhou and Chaozhou, and it is estimated that there are about 1230,000 people hiding in Dingkou, but the specific statistics may not have an accurate number until the summer and autumn of this year......

"So many dings?" Qiao Chunlin is Qiao Weiyan's uncle, who joined the army as the Xuanzhou Sihu at this time, and is the contemporary head of the Qiao family, he was taken aback when he heard Han Daochang's words, he didn't expect that Huaiyang Mountain was only on the northeast slope and the east slope, hiding so many fugitives, and said, "If the mountain people between Huazhujian and Jiuli Pass are counted, there must not be as many as 200,000?" ”

"There will be more, not less." Han Daochang said.

Han Daochang then went on to talk more about what he had learned this time.

It was also when he personally walked into Huaiyang Mountain that he knew that the peaks and mountains around Huaiyang Mountain were majestic, but between the lofty mountains and mountains, there were actually a large number of river valleys, valley plains and large areas of low hills and mountains.

This has created the necessary conditions for a large number of households to flee the war and go into the mountains to live and multiply in the past 100 years.

It is also due to the fact that a large number of households have been cultivating in the mountains for several generations, so that the overall cultivation level in Huaiyang Mountain is not low, at least stronger than when Han Qian first arrived in Xuzhou with his father.

Although there are no accurate figures, it is estimated that the cultivated land in the Huaiyang Mountains east of Huazhujian and north of Baimajian will not be less than 800,000 mu.

In order to alleviate the contradictions and conflicts, Han Qian took the initiative to open the gate of the village to welcome the Tangyi soldiers stationed in the follow-up, and reported the cottage of Dingkou and Tianmu, and the means were not so intense.

In addition to clearing the acres of land and approving taxes, the wealthy people who owned a large amount of land were only required to turn all the slaves and maids under their control into servants, and it was strictly forbidden to hire them without compensation, and to give them at least a salary that could guarantee their survival, and it was even more strictly forbidden to kill and sell them, and at the same time they were required to reduce the land rent of poor tenant farmers.

As for the cottage that had been based on the village and resisted the entry of the Tangyi soldiers, Han Qian was not so polite, and all the wealthy people who led the confrontation were taken into custody as prisoners of war.

In addition to the expropriation of 200,000 mu, which was used as a ration field and a pension distributed to the low-level poor and slaves who were recruited into the army, lived and cultivated, there was also a large amount of accumulated money and grain and other family property, which was used as military funds - Han Qian was in Huaiyang Mountain for two or three months, mainly relying on this to support military consumption, and the distribution of this part of the field and house was almost completed during the tug-of-war.

However, the cultivated land resources in the Huaiyang Mountains have been exploited to the limit, and it can even be said that they are excessive.

With the current level of farming, this mountainous area is home to more than 130,000 people, which is also far overloaded.

This makes the living conditions of the poor people in the mountains extremely poor, and the poor people and slaves at the bottom are even more worrisome, and they can only rely on the wealthy households to survive.

In addition to establishing a new county on the southern side of the Wujin Mountains, Han Qian also planned to ask the imperial court to agree to establish a new county in the middle and upper reaches of the Longtan River, and planned to include the northern part of Lujiang County, the upper valley of the Longtan River on the eastern slope of Huaiyang Mountain, and part of the land on the north bank of the Longtan River, so as to strengthen his control over the west bank of Chaozhou and the mountainous area in the eastern part of Huaiyang Mountain.

This area was originally the reclamation area of the Shouzhou Army, especially in the past year, the Shouzhou Army stationed 30,000 soldiers and 20,000 soldiers in the north of Lujiang County at the most, and confronted the elite of the more than 40,000 Huaixi Forbidden Army led by Li Zhihe in the south and on the Lujiang defense line.

The Shouzhou army is now hastily withdrawn, and the Tangyi soldiers have taken over hundreds of defense villages and tun villages on both sides of the Longtan River, as well as tens of thousands of houses and more than 100,000 mu of new fields that have been reclaimed from wheat seedlings and greens, which can be used to house the 20,000 soldiers and civilians captured from Anfeng Village.

Among these soldiers and civilians, nearly 4,000 young and strong men were forced to enter the defense line to defend against the enemy, and the casualties were also the heaviest, with 1,400 killed in battle and many more wounded.

To fulfill the promise made before the war, even if they and their families cannot be allowed to return to their homes in the enemy-occupied areas of Gaocheng, they must be given priority in bereavement and resettlement.

In addition to the fields that can be cultivated and the humble houses that can shelter from the wind and rain, in order to settle down, these people also need to be provided with clothing, farm tools and other necessities for life and production, and even need to supplement a certain amount of animal power.

Otherwise, the fields that a strong man can cultivate are also limited, and the living conditions are still worrying.

After this step is completed, the left and right armies of Tangyi should also be expanded, and a new defense line will be constructed east of Huaiyang Mountain with Chuzhou City and Chaozhou City, and there will be a large area of new reclaimable area south of the military buffer zone, and a part of the wealthy population in Huaiyang Mountain can be gradually moved over......

These follow-up plans to further deepen Huaixi naturally cannot be written into the song, and Han Daochang has to return to Jinling to explain to everyone one by one.

After hearing this, Han Daoming also said with great emotion:

"At this time, a new county was placed on the west bank of Chaohu Lake, and with Wujinling as the center, including the hinterland on the northeast slope of Huaiyang Mountain, a new county should also be placed, plus Chaozhou City, Chuzhou City, and Yongyang County north of Chuzhou City, Tangyi Xingying will directly govern twelve counties in the future......"

Han Daoming didn't say the follow-up words, but everyone in the hall could understand it.

Even if it is the seven counties of Xuzhou and Wuchuan County governed by Tan Yuliang, there are exactly twenty counties led by the Qianyang Hou Mansion and the Han family, and the strength is not weak in terms of the number of states and counties.

When Emperor Tianyou rose in Huainan, there were only more than 20 counties under his rule.

It's just that in the 20 counties governed by the Qianyang Marquis Mansion, the military and civilians together are only 600,000 people, and in terms of population, it is still slightly lower.

This is precisely one place where many people can be effective.

If each family is put together, seven or eight thousand slaves and maids can be sent to Tangyi for resettlement.

Xuanshe two states, under the leadership of Feng and Han, in the early years attached to the Shengzhou Jiedu Embassy, before Emperor Tianyou crossed the river, he quickly turned the direction of the wind, raised the banner and defected to the Huainan Army, the only large-scale war in the past 100 years, or Han Qian led the Chishan Army to attack Langxi City, which made Gu Zhilong scream, and then quickly succumbed.

If there is no war, the fruits of Dingkou will be fast, not to mention the children of the clan, the slaves and maids raised by each family have been multiplied for four or five generations, to be honest, there are a lot of them now, and the annexation of the fields has an end.

"Maybe you also heard the news on the way, Your Majesty and the imperial court have recently intended to strengthen the relief of the victims of the Huaidong disaster, and plan to transport 50,000 stone of money and grain to Huaidong every month by the Inner Government Bureau and the Duzhi Envoy," Han Daoming didn't care about what everyone was thinking about in his heart, and mentioned one thing to Han Daochang, saying, "With this money and grain, Huaidong's dependence on us is not so urgent." ”

"The victory of Wujinling was neat and neat, so that many people did not have a chance to pull back, but the follow-up support for Huaidong and Jingxiang to check and balance Huaixi is also the proper meaning of the question," Han Daochang said, "When I crossed Chaohu Lake, I met with Feng Yi and Guo Rong, and they all expected that it would be impossible to continue to directly bring in the affected people from Huaidong in the future, but as long as they did not have an excuse to cut off the trade that Chishan would open in various places, as long as the situation in Huaixi was further stabilized, there should be a steady stream of new landless poor people crossing the river and going north......

"They're not going to flip the table at this point." Han Daoming said with a smile, he is not particularly worried about this, speaking of which, the situation has changed, in the past, they had to be careful to please others, worried about the suspicion of the imperial court, but now it is the turn of others to be cautious about them and look at their faces.

In any case, although the sweet period with Shouwangfu and Huaidong was much shorter than expected, in addition to directly introducing more than 80,000 dingkou to Tangyi during this period, the Chishan Society had already obtained official posts from the main prefectures and counties of Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Huaidong, and Jingxiang, which was equivalent to the nature of market access certificates.

In addition to these, Han Daoming also contributed to two things in the DPRK and China after the year.

The first thing is to officially include cotton cloth in the summer grain and autumn endowment.

The court courtes bargained for a long time, and when they finally decided to collect it in kind, one cotton cloth could only be converted into two linen cloths, which was a little lower than they expected.

However, because the proportion of grain cloth in various places is fixed, and even the proportion of the planting area of mulberry land and grain field is relatively fixed, this makes the local grain and cloth prices directly linked and floating.

This all prompted the local clan lords who occupied a large amount of land and Dingkou, no matter how opposed Han Qian's granting of cheap and good associations to shake the foundation of the clan lords, they were extremely motivated to exchange for Qianyang cloth from the Chishan Society to pay the grain tax.

The second thing is that the Qianyang cloth on the levy will first be used to replace the uniforms of the guards.

The victory of Wujinling was very unexpected by everyone, but no matter how he was not optimistic about the surprise attack of the Tangyi soldiers before, Han Qian was able to lead the generals to fight long distances in such a cold weather, and the superiority of the generals' winter clothes made mainly of cotton cloth and cotton wool was not something that anyone could deny with their eyes open.

It is necessary to change the winter clothes of the guards and the generals of the forbidden army in a step-by-step manner; The middle and lower class generals are also extremely eager to change their winter clothes.

This is also a key reason why cotton cloth can be included in the tax in kind.

What materials the imperial court needs has always been accustomed to "collecting" rather than "purchasing".

Although the winter clothes of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the guards and the forbidden army are made of cotton cloth and cotton wool, which only reach a fraction of the production of Xuzhou and Tangyi, the promotion and demonstration of cotton cloth in the territory of Dachu are much stronger than the Chishan Society shouting everywhere.

After the year, the cotton weaving industry in Xuzhou will go to Jiangdong, Huaidong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Jingxiang and other places through the Chishan Society, and steadily export 300,000 horses of Qianyang cloth and 1 million catties of lint every month, which is equivalent to more than 250,000 yuan of money and grain.

The follow-up will continue to deepen, mainly to digest the new output of the Tangyi cotton weaving industry.

Although most of the income is returned to cotton farmers and weavers, in addition to the normal collection of cotton cloth taxes, plus part of the surplus of the weaving institute under the jurisdiction of the Industrial Construction Bureau and the Chishan Society, the cotton weaving industry in Xuzhou can provide up to 80,000 yuan of military funds every month.

In addition to deducting the necessary local financial expenses, Xuzhou can also provide additional military funds for Tangyi every month, which is equivalent to more than 120,000 yuan of money and grain.

Before this, or outside of the people in the hall, who could have imagined that a small southwestern state that is still full of miasma, remote and brutal in the eyes of the vast majority of the world, could contribute such a huge amount of money and food?

Han Qian expanded the left and right armies of Tangyi, planning to organize 15,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 auxiliary soldiers or garrisons of the baggage battalion.

The auxiliary soldiers of the baggage battalion, mainly used as prisoners of war, 20,000 soldiers, monthly food and clothing supplies, camp and many equipment repairs, the cost of which is equivalent to 60,000 yuan of money and food; In addition to the normal expenses of 60,000 yuan per month, an additional 60,000 yuan of military pay will be paid.

Of course, if the imperial court can finally admit the expansion of the left and right armies in Tangyi, as long as 60,000 or 70,000 yuan of money and grain are allocated every month, the gap in the daily expenses of the Tangyi army can be filled.

However, Han Qian's management of the army, the generals' armor and armor rationing, and even medical care and so on, the standard is much higher than that of the guards and the forbidden army, which will incur a large amount of additional military expenses.

This part of the gap still has to find another way to fill it.

This is also thanks to the pension for the casualties of the generals, mainly to grant land, and the last thing Tangyi lacks at present is land, and there is no additional military expenditure for the time being.

Listening to Han Daochang explain the details one by one, for Qiao, Chen and other parties who participated in confidential deliberations for the first time, they may have a deeper and more intuitive feeling of why the combat effectiveness and combat resilience of the Tangyi soldiers can be so strong.

It's all money and grain.

The military expenses of the Tangyi soldiers were almost three times that of the guards and the forbidden army, so it is no wonder that they were able to maintain more resilience and morale than the world imagined in the brutal and fierce tug-of-war.

Of course, compared with last year, money and grain are like flowing water to fill the bottomless pit of Tangyi, after the expansion of the left and right armies of Tangyi, it is expected that there will be a gap of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan of money and grain to be filled every month, and the people in the hall are no longer uneasy and unprepared before.

In other words, the victory of Wujinling has brought strong confidence to everyone, and there is no need to worry about no return for their efforts.

Besides, it was the Han family who desperately filled in it before, and they had to fill in 60,000 or 70,000 yuan of money and grain every month, but now they are more than a dozen families together, and they can't fill the gap of 350,000 yuan of money and grain every month?

As for Han Qian's various actions, which would shake the foundation of the family's sect lords, it would not have much negative impact on the Han family, the Chen family, and the Qiao family at this time.

Yi slaves and maids are servants, and their daily life of luxury and enjoyment has not been fundamentally impacted.

A large number of farms and houses are resold, and some of them are replaced by workshops and mines in Tangyi and Xuzhou, which can be regarded as grain fields, slaves, and livestock that continue to produce energy.

In the past, the Feng and Han families were very good at business breeding, and the clans of the two states would not be excluded.

The other part is used as a loan to fill the Xuzhou Government Money Bureau to make up for the gap caused by the construction of Tangyi and military funds, and a certain amount of money interest will also be calculated.

When they were in Wujinling, Han Qian and Wang Jun expected that the Han Mansion was full of guests today, Han Qian was busy preparing for defense, and Wang Jun was responsible for many things, and Wang Jun asked Han Daochang to go back to Jinling City with specific requirements to talk to each family.

The first point is to require each family to fill in the money and grain of the Xuzhou Government Money Bureau as a loan or deposit in the next two years, and not less than 100,000 yuan per month. Even if they sell the farmhouse, they have to make up for this amount, and Han Qian agreed to take the number of shares of the Xuzhou Official Money Bureau and convert the money and interest to each family.

The second point is to ask each family to take the initiative to let the slaves and maids redeem their good records, and encourage the slaves and maids to move to Tangyi to work, or buy a farm house to settle down.

For those who buy a farmhouse, Tangyi will also follow the previous practice in Huaidong and help them settle down in Tangyi at a very low price; Even if these slaves and maids have no savings, they will be provided with simple houses when they work in Tangyi, and they can also borrow money from the official money bureau to buy a farm house.

At the same time, this practice needs to be propagated by each family in both places.

The third point is that if each family hopes that the young children in the clan can be recommended by the Han family to enter the court or serve as officials in Tangyi and Xuzhou, they need to be sent to Liyang School for admission first, and then recommended by the best.

The fourth point is to require each family to actively set up various workshops and mines in Tangyi or Xuzhou, and the plantations are temporarily limited to a limited number of categories such as sweet cane, cotton, tung oil trees, and medicinal materials.

In particular, the cultivation of medicinal materials, although there are precedents for artificial cultivation of medicinal materials in monasteries and Taoist temples for hundreds of years, it is not yet large-scale in the world, and all major pharmacies mainly purchase wild medicinal materials.

The varieties of medicinal materials are extremely complex, Han Qian only called Du Qiniang in Xuzhou, and they tried to plant Artemisia annua with special effects for the treatment of malaria and several medicinal materials to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, and the scale was very limited, not to mention the systematic combing of the pharmacopoeia.

Han Qian and Wang Jun mentioned this matter, and they all deeply regretted it.

Now Xuzhou and Tangyi are going to be more refined to deepen the depth, Tangyi has rich and fertile hills and mountains, dry paddy field resources, and with the expansion of the scale of the war directly participated in Tangyi, the cost of wounded medicine is very large, Wang Jun specially told Han Daochang to give priority to promoting the artificial planting of medicinal materials in Tangyi and Huaiyang Mountain.

The planting of cotton fields, sugar cane fields and tung oil trees, Xuzhou and Tangyi are vigorously doing it, all of which are quite large-scale, and do not need to be too eager to participate in them.

However, it is estimated that there are between 15 million and 18 million people in the entire territory of Dachu, and most of the households are still quite poor, and it is impossible for the cotton weaving, sugar, and even soap industries to expand the market indefinitely in a short period of time.

At this time, it is all the more necessary to expand the types of commodities that can be exported in large quantities, rather than expanding the cultivation of cotton and sugarcane fields without limit, so as to avoid serious surpluses.

The two states of Xuanshe are backed by Fuyu Mountain and Yishan, and almost all of them have medicinal herb shops, so there are convenient conditions for promoting this matter.

The discussion lasted until the early hours of the morning, and everyone left the Han Mansion with satisfactory answers and promises.

…………

…………

The Queen Mother worships the Buddha to the Tao, and goes to Chongfuguan to worship incense and offer to the gods every three or five times.

As the royal Taoist academy in the imperial city, the status of Chongfuguan has also risen, and Yun Puzi has to be named the envoy of Chongfu Academy.

On this day, the Queen Mother came to Chongfu Temple to worship incense, and after offering to the gods, she took a rest in the view, and Yun Puzi accompanied her to talk about some things from the past and present to relieve the boredom of the Queen Mother.

When it was dusk, the queen mother took the palace attendant and led the toddler to the second prince and drove back to the palace.

"The queen mother left the second prince behind, so she still has to make the second prince her heir in the future?" Yun Puzigong was sent outside the gate, and when he saw the Queen Mother Wang Chan'er picking up the second prince and boarding the phoenix, she asked Yao Xishui with emotion.

"Your Majesty is young and vigorous, it may not be too early to say that he is a successor, right?" Yao Xishui glanced at Yun Puzi, and said lightly, "Empress Li has a heart disease, so she can't worry about her taking care of the second prince, so the queen mother took the second prince to Cishou Palace." ”

"Yes." Yun Puzi said.

"What does Yun Dao Chang think about the battle of Wujin Ridge?"

"Lao Dao is in the imperial city, and he is also an idle cloud and wild crane, what can you think of the victory of Wujinling? Lao Dao heard that Marquis Han wrote a letter to ask the imperial court to transfer the Zuo Longque Army from Shuzhou, but I don't know what Miss Yao think of the victory in Wujinling? Yun Puzi asked Yao Xishui in turn.

The corners of Yao Xishui's mouth twitched twice, what could she think, she wanted to count Yang Zhitang, Yang Yuanyan, and Wang Wenqian as one, and pulled them to her, and asked them what they thought, is it cool to seek skin with the tiger?

She couldn't wait to pull Xu Mingzhen to her and ask, where is the demeanor of the famous generals of Dachu who are as famous as Li Yu, the good situation, the elite soldiers and horses who are several times larger than the enemy, and the inner line where materials and people are easier to mobilize, how could they be beaten like a dog by Han Qian?

Up to now, the scouts sent out by the Weaving Bureau have not yet found out many details of the battle of Wujinling, it seems that Han Qian really has divine help in Huaiyang Mountain, and he borrowed the rain and torrent overnight to crush the enemy camp......

The battle of Wujinling will change the situation in Dachu too much, and she has long heard reports that the Han Mansion has been full of guests and friends in the past few days, and she has been playing flute every night.

Especially after Han Daochang returned to Jinling yesterday, Fu Mo, who had been silent for a long time, went to the Han Mansion to "ask for guilt" before this afternoon, but was turned away from the Han Mansion......
