If you want to get rich and build roads first, Chen Xian naturally knows this sentence, and he also knows that there is a saying that there is no agriculture and no stability, and no business is not rich.

Politicians who keep their eyes on the peasants all day long will not be able to squeeze much oil and water, and the best way to increase tax revenues is to develop industry and commerce.

To develop commerce, the circulation of goods is the foundation.

This is common sense for modern people.

Chen Xian is not an economist, and he does not know the high-end ways to promote the development of business, so he can only do some things from these most basic aspects.

Chen Xian had long planned to build a network of arterial roads in the territory under his control to connect the east, west, north and south of his ruling area.

Such a network of roads, which not only facilitated the circulation of goods, but also had great military value, could speed up the internal maneuvering of his soldiers.

After the completion of the main road network, Chen Xian also plans to build roads to connect several excellent ports under his command with inland areas.

In this era, sea freight is undoubtedly the cheapest mode of transportation, and after connecting inland cities and coastal cities, inland cities can also enjoy some of the cheapness and convenience of sea transportation.

After two years of hard work, the most important north-south arterial road has been completed, and the east-west arterial road has also been completed in half of the project.

With the north-south arterial road, Yang Miaozhen's inner line maneuver has become very fast.

Soon, Yang Miaozhen took 10,000 horse infantry troops, three or four thousand cavalry, and caught up with the Mongolian cavalry led by Mu Huali.

No matter what tricks Mu Huali played, she would never chase the other party, but just hang the other party from a distance.

In this way, Mu Huali wandered in Chen Xian's territory for more than half a month, and he couldn't even find a single grain and grass, so he could only retreat.

After retreating from Chen Xian's territory, Mu Huali returned to the camp on the northern front, escorted the Han army's foot soldiers, and slowly withdrew.

After retiring from the army, Mu Huali actually moved the big tent to the original capital of the Jin Kingdom, which was later in the city of Beijing.

After the looting and burning of the Mongols, this originally prosperous city has become a ruin at this time.

Mu Huali ordered his Han army commanders to requisition the people, renovate the city of Beijing, and then he turned the city into his base camp.

The reason why he wanted to set up the base camp in this place was because Mu Huali had already figured out that relying only on his own strength would definitely not be able to eliminate Chen Xian.

The Great Khan's western expedition took most of the army with him, leaving Mu Huali with less than 30,000 cavalry, relying only on 30,000 cavalry, not only could not eliminate Chen Xian, but could not even suppress his expansion.

If he wants to confront Chen Xian, he can only take advantage of the situation.

At this time, the only people who could give Mu Huali a position were these Han landlords who defected to him.

These Han people are strong, and when viewed separately, each of them is not strong, but if they are organized, it is a very large force.

But now, the power is huge, but it's not strong enough.

After some discussion with his subordinates, Mu Huali and his Mongol generals agreed that in order to defeat or contain Chen Xian, it was necessary to strengthen the strength of the Han people in three aspects.

First of all, it is necessary to strengthen the cavalry strength in the hands of the Han people, after observation, Mu Huali found that only the cavalry can pose a threat to the artillery in Chen Xian's hands, although the cavalry of the Han army finally failed to impact the artillery array, firstly because their cavalry was too few, and secondly, because their attack direction was wrong, they should not attack from the front, but from the side, even if there are cavalry guards on the side, it is stronger than directly impacting the artillery array from the front.

As long as the cavalry can break through the opponent's artillery array, then the huge numerical superiority of the Han army can be revealed.

Secondly, in order for the Han infantry to have the ability to confront Chen Xian, it was necessary to let them learn from Chen Xian's army and equip them with muskets in large quantities.

But in order to suppress the Han army, Mu Huali decided not to equip the Han army with cannons.

Mu Huali was going to gather these cannon casters and cast cannons in the city of Beijing, and he was ready to build up the Mongols' own artillery team, as long as they held the cannons in their hands and had strong cavalry, the Han army would not have to worry even if they mastered the arquebus.

Third, Mu Huali believed that the training and discipline of the Han army must be strengthened, and he would personally supervise the training of the Han army, especially the training of the cavalry.

I have to say that Mu Huali has a precise strategic vision that is not only worthy of his reputation.

Just as Mu Huali continued his strength in the central capital and sharpened his sword, Chen Xian also began his military reform plan and expansion plan.

After returning to Mizhou City with heavy casualties of cavalry and horse infantry, the first thing Chen Xiansuo had to do was naturally to compensate for the casualties.

In this battle, Chen Xian's command suffered more than 10,000 casualties, of which the most important casualties were concentrated in cavalry and horse infantry.

According to final statistics, in this war, Chen's army killed more than 3,000 people in total, and about 2,000 people were seriously injured and disabled! Most of them were cavalry.

According to Chen Xian's consistent rules, those who die in battle should let him have no worries behind him, and those who are disabled should let him have five worries for the rest of his life.

In addition, the cavalry itself is an elite class, and the salary is higher than that of others on weekdays, so the pension naturally cannot be stingy.

In the end, Chen Xian and his staff officers calculated the average amount of a bereavement pension of 65 acres of land.

In today's era, nothing is as reassuring as land.

In this way, Chen Xian was given more than 300,000 mu of equity in this pension alone.

In addition to the bereavement pension, there are also rewards.

The pension was to reassure people's hearts, so he had to use arable land, but he did not dare to use arable land anymore as a reward.

In order to attract people to serve as soldiers, each soldier should not be less than 10 acres of vocational land, and it is estimated that more than 1 million mu of vocational land will be distributed in this expansion of the army alone.

This time he fought with Mu Huali, even if he won the battle, he had to send out more than 300,000 acres of meritorious land, in case of a miserable victory, it would be even more unimaginable.

The total amount of cultivated land on Chen Xian's entire territory is only 14 million mu, and now in his hands, there are only more than 10 million mu.

Therefore, this time, Chen Xian no longer issued land shares, but changed to factory shares.

Chen Xian evaluated some high-quality hydroelectric factories, such as some cement factories and forging factories, and then converted the shares of these factories into money and distributed them to his officers as meritorious rewards.

As an officer under Chen Xian, he is no stranger to some simple economic common sense, because the officers under Chen Xian's command are all trained as both military and civilian, and in their learning process, there are special courses in economics and industry and commerce.

These officers knew that the earning power of the factory was much higher than that of land, so they did not resist Chen Xian's use of factory shares instead of money to give rewards.

Before distributing the shares of these cement factories and forging factories to his officers, Chen Xian carried out a shareholding reform of these factories, established a board of directors, and turned the original factory directors into managers.

Under Chen Xian's teaching, the officers assigned henchmen to enter the factory and serve as governors to supervise the operation of the factory.

In fact, after these years of development, many factories under Chen Xian's command have undergone serious corruption, and problems such as overstaffing, feeding a large number of nepotism, and people floating in things have continued to emerge.

Through the reform of the joint-stock system, Chen Xian took the opportunity to rectify the factories under his control, and if the situation was good, he continued to retain the original director and serve as the manager, and if the factory was in poor condition, he directly dismissed the original management collectively and reappointed the management.

Although this method cannot cure the root cause, it can also improve the situation of the factory in a short period of time.

Of course, in the process, Chen Xian also gave share awards to the management of some well-run factories.
