Chaohu Lake opens lotus root fields, even if the military needs are purchased, in fact, the amount of silver money that can be obtained is also a lot.

General Yu San rejoiced because it was for the military family to have one more way to make a living.

It is not without reason that the Chaohu water division is united.

Marshal Yu taught by word and deed, whether it was the sons of the Yu family or An Yong's son-in-law, they could all be described as "loving soldiers like sons".

This is a good thing and a hidden danger for the Chuzhou army.

The good thing is that there is no internal friction in the water division, and the water division is united and has strong combat power.

The hidden danger is that the power is too concentrated, and if there is a change in the Yu and An families, the Chuzhou army will have shortcomings.

Previously, the Chuzhou Army received the Taihu Lake Water Division, which was also to prepare for the division of the Water Division in the future.

Huo Bao is talking about lotus root field, but in fact, he thinks of artificial pearl farming, and the artificial pearl farming in later generations is not only Taihu Lake, but also Chaohu Lake.

Artificially raised beads do not have much technical content, but the profits are extraordinarily rich.

It's just that there is a cycle of pearl farming, from the beginning of preparation to the final pearl diving, it takes four or five years to say the least.

In this way, it is just right to avoid the most chaotic years.

At present, natural disasters are connected with military disasters in various places, and even if pearls are raised, the market is limited.

But when the world is decided, this artificial pearl cultivation is a source of wealth.

From freshwater beads to seawater beads, Huo Bao is very excited.

The Lingshui gold mine has dried up, and the Chuzhou army is in need of open source.

Such a pearl field is tantamount to a gold and silver mine.

It's just that......

Huo Bao glanced at General Yu San, the person who can still call the shots of such a big matter said okay, turned around and told his father, let his father arrange it.

Chaohu Zhuchang Taiwei Mansion can cooperate with Yu and An, and the Seaside Zhuchang Taiwei Mansion can share the profits to other high-level officials of the Chuzhou Army.

Everyone has plenty of money, and if anyone dares to reach out for silver, there is no need to blame the ruthlessness of military law.

After leaving Chaohu Water Village, everyone went to Luzhou City.

I also saw Tuntian when I was in Hezhou before, but it was not as good as the number of Tuntian in Luzhou.

The group stayed in the capital city of Luzhou to estimate the total amount of summer grain and autumn grain according to the number of tuntian fields on this side of Luzhou.

Now it seems that the big drought in Chuzhou and the small drought in Hezhou are here in Luzhou, and the tuntian far away from the lake is not optimistic.

Although the place where the Chuzhou army now produces grain is not only Luzhou, it is much more convenient to transport grain from Luzhou to Chuzhou than Suzhou and Songjiang to transport grain north.

After a day's work, when the approximate amount of summer and autumn grain was calculated, the situation was not optimistic.

Because there is a military ration task in Tuntian on this side of Luzhou, there is a need to transport grain to Jinling, and the remaining grain is limited.

It is a great drought in Huanghuai, and the drought will not fall in Luzhou, but the proportion of paddy fields in Luzhou is large, and it is a vertical and horizontal waterway, which can alleviate the drought, but it is not a good year.

"If you want to rely on the supply of Luzhou, and if you want to make up for the food shortage in the state capitals of Huainan Province, I'm afraid it won't ......be enough."

Song Lin frowned.

Shuzhou and Shouzhou are both half-mountain and half-water, and the situation should be similar to Hezhou, with one or two counties in need of relief.

Huanghuai is in drought, Taizhou white shirts naturally don't need to pay attention to it, can the Bozhou army completely ignore it here?

In the end, they are still allies, and even if they have suspicions, they are more reliable than other allies.

Song Lin thought of this and glanced at Huo Bao.

With Huo Wu's temperament, even if he looks at his son, he will not refuse the Bozhou Army's grain borrowing.

The Chuzhou Army has come to this day, and it seems that it is based in the south of the Yangtze River and has become a possibility, but in the end, it is a rebellious business, and who knows what will happen in the future.

Selling the Bozhou Army well is the back road that Huo Wu left for his son.

Huo Bao also thought about the drought that lasted for three years, and he didn't know how Hebei was?

I remember hearing a saying in my last life, saying that it was "the land of Hebei, nine droughts in ten years".

It's just that Hebei is next to the capital, and even if there is a real drought, the magistrates don't dare to turn a blind eye.

If the Hebei exiles enter Beijing and the capital is in chaos, then the defeat of Daning will be accelerated.

He thought of the capital from the drought, but the Jinling Taiwei Mansion really got the news of the capital.

*

Taiwei Mansion, tea room.

Deng Jian, Master Ma Zhai, Master Lin, and Du Laoba were all present, and Huo Wu held a letter with his eyes shining: "Shandong soldiers have entered Beijing on May 20!" ”

"Is the Jin family doing the opposite?"

The owner of the horse village said with fun.

Deng Jian snorted lightly: "It should have been like this a long time ago!" ”

Jin Guogong, as the first noble of Daning, holds forty percent of Daning's soldiers and horses in his hands.

The Shandong, Jiangxi, and Shanxi soldiers who suppressed bandits last year and this year were all in the hands of the Jin family.

Whether it was the previous "recovery" of Xuzhou or the "recovery" of Hangzhou, the Jin family army won easily, but the emperor used small means, or demoted officials or transferred away, making both places twice the result with half the effort.

In February, when Huai'an was attacked, the emperor made a stupid move and directly ordered someone to poison and kill the commander of the rebel army.

Although the emperor pushed the "ghost for the dead" later, the Jin family is not stupid.

This has repeatedly reduced the strength of the Jin family, and if the Jin family does not think about it, they will die in the place of death.

Everyone thought that the Jin family should have a move before, but they didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Now it's the queen's court?"

Master Lin guessed.

If the Jin family really wanted to change the dynasty, there would have been news coming out.

Daning's troops are ten, the Jin family has forty percent of the troops, the other nobles have thirty percent of the troops, and the prince of the clan has thirty percent of the troops.

It is one thing for the Jin family army to enter Beijing to "support" the queen, and the nobles and the clan may not move, and if they "rebel", they will inevitably be attacked by the masses.

Huo Wu nodded and said: "The emperor is 'sick', the prince is 'sick', and the queen is in the court!" ”

Master Lin touched his beard, but his face was heavy.

Huo Wu wondered in his heart: "Mr. is not optimistic about the Jin family?" ”

Master Lin shook his head and said: "The Jin family has come to this point, there is no way back, if it is not bad as expected, there will be news that the prince is 'sick and sick' soon......"

Huo Wu frowned: "The Jin family wants to help the fourth prince ascend to the throne?" ”

The emperor has four sons, the eldest son died young, and the second son (prince) has the same mother as the third son, which is born of a noble concubine; The fourth son is the son of the palace and is raised under the name of the queen.

In recent years, the emperor and the empress have had many disputes over the establishment of the crown prince, and they have been unable to hold each other.

In the end, the emperor acted arbitrarily and appointed the second prince as the crown prince.

The Jin family wants to abolish the crown prince in private, so naturally it is impossible to appoint the third prince of the prince's half-brother, and the only one who will be on the throne will be the fourth prince who is still in his infancy.

The young lord is coming to the court, which is not a good thing for Daning, but it is not good news for the Chuzhou army in various places.

In that case, the Jin family is autocratic, and the next step should be to "suppress bandits".

Master Lin's expression was complicated: "Most likely it will be like this......"

Today's Daning Emperor, who ascended the throne as the young lord, was a puppet for a few years in his early years, and he acted paranoidly after being in power.

After he married the daughter of Jin Guogong, he got the support of the Jin family, cleaned up the previous ministers, and replaced most of the courtiers.

Master Lin is from the top of the family, Lin Qingwen is not as good as his father, and he is also a Sanding Jia.

Both father and son were on duty in the Hanlin Academy, and Master Lin was even named the emperor's teacher, and he personally taught the emperor for three years.

Lin Qingwen, the elder brother, was also named a bachelor.

The father and son of the Lin family are Confucian children, and those who play elementary school are "loyal to the monarch and patriotic", and they are also sincere to this little emperor.

However, the emperor was in power, and among the first batch of people disposed of, including the father and son of the Lin family, just because Master Lin was the same year as the minister of Gu Ming, Lin Qingwen, the three Ding Jia, was personally ordered by the minister of Gu Ming.

The master of the horse village narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we can't wait...... I remember that a few years ago, the emperor changed his diligence, and it seems that the princes of several clans were not less involved......"

Speaking of which, in the past 30 years, the court has never been peaceful, and several little emperors have died one after another.

Only one of them survived to the wedding, and the rest died.

Since he was a young man and had no children, the heir emperor was selected by the princes of several clans.

If you want to provoke the conflict between the Jin family and the prince of the clan, the easiest way is to directly kill a few princes.

The emperor has cut off the heir and wants to choose the heir, so won't the contradiction come?

The Jin family has no way out, and they must hold the future little emperor completely in their hands.

The prince of the clan is not stupid, his own descendants have the opportunity to win the throne of the emperor, how can he not fight?

When the two forces confront each other and don't care about the place, it is the opportunity of the Chuzhou army......
