Xie Lin applauded and agreed: "What General Zhao said is extremely true, his subordinates have appointed themselves to the posts of the puppet yuan, and it has been many years, and it is difficult to see that the puppet yuan really loves the people and compassionate to the people. For example, the 11-year banknote law was updated, which was a good thing, but the first was that the material paper was extremely poor, and it was not rotten for a long time, and it was unbearable to replace, and the other was to print more and spend more, and the value of the banknote was greatly depreciated. ”

"If it weren't for the general's benevolence and righteousness, how could his subordinates know their way back and do their best for the rebirth of the people of my Han family." Xie Lin did not forget Yu Zhilong, and gave a salute, "Since ancient times, those who have won the hearts of the people have won the world, although their subordinates have seen many generals of the Shuntian Army, they are far inferior to the generals who know the people's feelings, understand the people's opinions, and take the revival of the Han dynasty as their own responsibility. ”

"There are Liu Tianwang and other Shuntian army departments in the city to pay attention, if we show our strength, there will be a lot of constraints, but it is better to be more indulgent in the suburbs of the city, as long as all kinds of matters are effective, there will be another world. The general's words about revitalizing agriculture are also at the right time! ”

Zhengtong Treasure Banknote was issued, "Yuan Shi • Food and Goods Journal": "It has not been in line for a long time, and the price has soared, and the price has exceeded ten times. It is also worth the great turmoil at home, the supply of military reserves, the rewards and rewards, and the daily printing is incalculable. Boats and vehicles are shipped, axes are connected, and the materials are scattered all over the world, everywhere. Those who are weak will not be used again. Jingshi has ten ingots of money, and Yi Dousu is not available. Since the counties and counties where they are located are all traded in goods, the money accumulated by the public and private sectors is not good, and people regard it as a disadvantage. ”

Xie Lin said so many words, in addition to showing loyalty, he also responded to himself, Zhao Shi and others in the early stage of imploring Yu Zhilong to accumulate strength outside the city and hide something, so as not to show his strength too early and attract the suspicion of others.

In fact, the leaders of each family have their own thoughts. Yu Zhilong just felt that the current enemy was still united, and he said that he was already a big family, and if there was another maverick move, it would be swaggering. Abolishing the loan, nuclear fields, dividing the land, collecting money and grain, etc., can do some tricks, and this man is not in a hurry to hide it. Such an act, once revealed, will inevitably lead to the conjecture of others.

However, Zhao Shi and Xie Lin still hope to hide something in the future. The heart is separated from the belly, and some means are not a bad thing. Yu Zhilong thought for a moment and accepted his words.

Since the world is so difficult, acting like a boat against the current will retreat if you don't advance, too much concern for the will of others, if you miss your own big things, it will be too late to regret!

This is also related to the fact that Liu Zhengfeng has been on stage for too short a time, his strength is limited, and he is a little ambitious and talented. If Yu Hai was still here, Zhao Shi, Ji Xiancheng, and Qian Zheng might not have such a hurry. Xie Lin was difficult to be optimistic about Liu Zhengfeng, although Liu Zhengfeng later summoned him several times to talk about the narrative, but seeing that he was mostly concerned about money and food raising, home mansions, slave servants, etc., he was cold-hearted.

After some deliberation and discussion, several people decided to vigorously implement various civil affairs policies in Liujiazhuang and other places, far away from the county seat, to restore agricultural water conservancy as soon as possible, and specially concealed the number of some newly built soldiers. In fact, some of these new soldiers were originally sick and weak people in the quarry, and they were able to recover after more than ten years of cultivation, because their hometowns were mostly in the Yuan Court, and they couldn't return for a while, so they simply joined the Jing'an Army; Some of them are attached by various local small people or displaced people.

Hiding part of the military strength also has the factor of avoiding the spies of the Yuan army inside and outside the city. After all, the Shuntian Army recruited soldiers on a large scale and trained the army, and Yidu City would never ignore it. There will be no shortage of secret agents in various batches, and most of the soldiers of the Shuntian Army are new pawns, lacking effective training, and the combat power of the Yuan Army is not the same, if there are no means, how can they win by surprise?

Yu Zhilong's heart is not without the mind of being in charge of a bull's ear, born in troubled times, it is a good time for my generation to guide the country and scold Fang Xuan, if it has been attached to the people, for people to drive, even if it can make meritorious achievements, seal his wife and son, but the old history reappears, but how much benefit can it be to his ambition in the end?

However, these thoughts and measures are not suitable for public action at this time, and Tian Lie does not know. Therefore, Xie Lin found a reason, said goodbye to Tian Lie for the time being, and re-entered the camp alone to discuss with Yu Zhilong. Even in the Jing'an Army, it is only limited to a few people who understand, so as not to make many people talk too much and cause trouble.

Collecting displaced people, reclaiming wasteland, forming social workers, and all kinds of measures were also due to Zhilong and Xie Lin to Liu Zhengfeng, but Liu Zhengfeng was immersed in the joy of entering the city at this time, and did not attach much importance to it, so Yu Zhilong first did it with great fanfare in the Jing'an Army's territory. This excitement made Liu Zhengfeng, Wan Jinhai, Liu Qi and others inevitably look sideways later.

In the early stage, everyone was in a hurry to enter the city, divide the wealth and houses, expand the subordinates, and even asked all the big families and shops to pay money and grain as a contribution to the battle against the Yuan army. After the number of people in each department gradually increased, according to Liu Zhengfeng's order, more people were stationed outside the city, and a different amount of fertile land was allocated, so that everyone had the idea of resuming agriculture and sheltering the displaced people.

Unlike Yu Zhilong's strategy of paying attention to recruiting different talents, almost all of these people are rough people, and Yu Zhilong issued various measures with Xie Lin and other counselors and plans. Steps, rewards and punishments and other one-to-one correspondence, although the overall rough, but has become a system, the feasibility is strong. The generals' practice was similar to herding sheep and taking care of themselves, and after giving their subordinates and displaced people acres and some farm tools and livestock, they almost no longer cared.

Compare the two, and make a judgment. Others didn't care about it, but Liu Zhengfeng began to pay attention to Zhilong.

This young man not only dares to fight, dares to take risks, but also seems to be very good at winning people's hearts, and invisibly has a pressure on himself. Even if her mother-in-law usually doesn't care about things, she now said on the pillow: "General Fei's name is loud, and now everyone inside and outside the city praises him, and the young and strong are proud to join his army. ”

A sense of crisis arose, and Liu Zhengfeng gradually looked at Yu Zhilong's gaze with more meaning. And Liu Qi somehow, in the past few days, he has often made noise in Liu Zhengfeng's ears, and he seems to have mentioned it without a thought: "An army cannot have two masters, if the master is weak and the servant is strong, what can I do?" At this time, Liu Zhengfeng regretted that he should not have easily agreed to transfer a large area of land outside the city to the Jing'an army.

But the words have been spoken, and it is not easy to take them back. Liu Zhengfeng had to think secretly.

Seeing that Yu Zhilong's jurisdiction is in full swing, Liu Zhengfeng and others also want to act in accordance with it, but these things are fragmented and miscellaneous, and non-capable and experienced people can't do it, even Yu Zhilong is now in urgent need of talents, not to mention the rest of the departments.

In the past few days before and after the war, Xie Lin planned in many ways, raised military supplies, renovated the city defense, and settled the casualties.

Later, Liu Zhengfeng summoned Xie Lin to meet with him several times, but although Xie Lin was very respectful to him, he may have many benefits, but Xie Lin only said that he did his best and thanked him, but it was difficult to have a sense of sympathy.

In the camp tent, at this time, Xie Lin proposed territorial civil affairs, etc., and Yu Zhilong, Zhao Shi, and Ji Xiancheng all thought silently.

Suddenly, Zhao Shi said: "The former according to the order of the adults, the various places have been cultivated, if there is no accident, when in the next spring can increase the acres of land 33,000 acres, and the ploughed barren land, under the field is not less than 8,000 acres, the new bay pond has dozens of sizes, all kinds of pasture grass and mountains and forests at least tens of thousands of acres, if we can complete the cultivation, planting, as long as our army continues to possess this land next year, if the harvest is not hindered, I believe that the shortage of grain and rice can be solved." ”

"There are more than 4,000 acres of large and small horse farms outside the city, which have been encroached upon by the surrounding areas all the year round, and most of them have been fields. Zhao Shidao.

"The horse farm is abandoned, it is not worth restoring, so it will be returned to the field." Yu Zhilong agreed.

At that time, the Yuan court circled the major horse farms in the north and set up 14 official horse roads, which were led by the Taifu Temple.

The pastures in the Central Plains and the hinterland are: Liaoyang, Datong, Taiyuan, Luzhou, Raozhou, Anxi Wangfu, Guanzhou, Enzhou, Gaotang Prefecture, Dadu, Zhending, Yidu, Shandong, Henan, Huaimeng, Qingchi County, Nanpi County, Guangping. There are also pastures in counties and counties in the Mainland.

There are also thousands of acres of horses under the rule of Linqu on Yidu Road. However, over the years, many areas of the Yuan Dynasty were gradually encroached upon by the surrounding large households and turned into farmland, and these horse farms were no longer worthy of their name.

Ji Xiancheng continued: "Farming is very labor-intensive, and our department still needs many young and strong people to join the army, and the general has the method of association and cooperation, and the help of cattle and horses, which is estimated to save a lot of labor." If you want to persist in the autumn harvest next year, the Jing'an Army must be prosperous! The other divisions of the Suncheon Army are not allowed! ”

"It's not exhaustive, King Shuntian and Yu Shichang can still fight." Zhao Shi said a fair word, Lao Wan, Xiahou's subordinates were negligent in practice, and they suffered a big loss when they fought with the Tartars. At the beginning, the adults taught the generals the way to train the army, but unfortunately they did not take it to heart. ”

Zhao Shi then said solemnly: "The Tartars were defeated, it is estimated that there will be no more intention to suppress them in the near future, but the Tartars have been surrounded on all sides, if they are trapped in one place, there is no life, our department has shown its strength in the first battle, and there is no need to hide it. The subordinates thought that they should give a general order to the whole army, strictly enforce military discipline, set the morale of the army, and implement the way of military training as soon as possible. One is to prevent the Tartars from committing again, and the other is to find an opportunity to fight and break the siege of the Tartars, so that our army can have a chance to survive. As for some of the thoughts that King Shuntian and others have about me, my lord and Brother Xie can come forward to do more maneuvering, so as not to have suspicions and conflicts. ”

When Xie Lin heard Zhao Shi's words, he said: "Rejuvenating the people's livelihood and resuming farming are all subordinate duties, and they should be used to die." Is there just one thing that you still have to decide? ”

"What's the matter?" Yu Zhilong knew that Xie Lin was capable, and it was not extremely difficult to solve by himself, so he would not speak easily.

"This ploughing field urgently needs a lot of animal power, in the early stage for our war, almost all the horses were conscripted into the army, now the farmers everywhere only have cattle available, and the number is far from enough, and the young men are mostly in the army, and the subordinates implore the adults to scatter some of the horses to the farm. In order to complete this year's reclamation as soon as possible. ”

Yu Zhilong and Zhao Shi, Ji Xiancheng couldn't help but hesitate, almost all the horses captured in Linqu were used in this operation, and only eighty percent of the thousands of war horses were available after the war, fortunately more than 400 horses of the Yuan army were captured, otherwise the plan of the Shuntian Army to build the cavalry army of various departments would have come to naught.

Not all of these captured war horses belonged to the Jing'an army, in fact, Liu Zhengfeng only promised to give Yu Zhilong 150 war horses as compensation. And Wu Side's total loss of war horses in this battle is almost this number.

Development is the only way in the future, the cavalry army is in urgent need of expansion, Wu Side is staring at a pair of round eyes, and he can't wait for this batch of war horses to enter the camp!

If according to Xie Lin's words, not only will the cavalry not be expanded, but also the inferior horses will be eliminated in the cavalry and returned to the peasants, this Wu Side must be the first to refuse.

"I wonder how much horsepower is needed for farming?" Ji Xiancheng asked Xie Lin.

"If you consider the cultivation of the whole city, it will not be less than six hundred, if you only take care of my Jing'an army first, about three hundred horses." Schelling replied after silently calculating in his heart.

"So much!" Zhao Shi and Ji Xiancheng both frowned. Yidu Road is the place where the Yuan court circled the horse farm, there was no shortage of horses and cattle, but in recent years, the horse policy was abolished, and the disaster was repeated year after year, the Yuan court bought a large number of horses and detained horses, resulting in a rapid decrease in the cattle and horses in the belly and the Central Plains, and the Yuan court had to buy a large number of horses from the Mongolian steppe after the first year.

At the beginning, the policy of going east was partly because there were many horse farms here, and there may be more cattle and horses, which was conducive to civilian farming and military use.

The Yuan Dynasty began to set up a group pastoral, and later changed to the Taifu Temple, which was in charge of 14 national pastures across the country. During the Zhishun period, the 14 large ranches were reduced to 10 large ranches. The reasons for the gradual decline from prosperity to decline: 1. Brush horses. 2. The official ranch was occupied by the powerful and powerful. 3. The official ranch was reclaimed by the government for farming. For example, in the first month of the seventh year of Dade (1303), the land of horse grazing in Yidu was reclaimed by the people, and the rent per mu was too heavy, and it was reduced to four liters. 4. The emperor gave the official pasture to the minister. 5. Natural disasters.

Horse requisition, also known as horse brushing, horse requisition, that is, the compulsory and costless expropriation of horses.
