Chapter 232: Summoning (1)
The Junwang Mansion obtained such a huge amount of wealth at once, of course, it would not dig a cellar and bury it in the ground to hide, but it was imperative to spend it as reasonably as possible and transform its real strength.
For this reason, the county palace convened public hall meetings many times to discuss its affairs, and the concubine even went out of the palace to the county palace again and summoned Shen Yang, Chen De, Zheng Hui, Han Qian, and Zhang Ping to inquire about it in person.
The Dragon Bird Army captured a large number of war horses, swords and bows, and armor in the bloody battle of Xichuan, and it is more important to strengthen the investment in the cantonment military government at present; In particular, the four major military governments in Junzhou urgently need to invest a large amount of money and food.
After the Jingxiang War, the requisitioned households from Jiangtan and other places and the prisoners exiled for crimes have been moving into Deng Jun and Deng Jun in a steady stream.
On the Junzhou side, on the one hand, it has to receive more than 5,000 relocated households from Jiangtan and other places, and on the other hand, it has to accept more than 6,000 military households relocated from Taowuji, and on the other hand, it has to move some of the cottage fugitives to relatively open areas for resettlement.
In total, the four cantonment military offices had to take over more than 15,000 military households, and at least 600,000 mu of land had to be reclaimed, so as to ensure that in addition to being self-sufficient, these military households could also bear part of the land tax and the cost of repairing ordnance and armor.
In the past, there were no too generous conditions, in addition to giving the necessary rations, the other was to make the cantonment military government find a way to overcome the difficulties, but now that the county king's mansion has obtained such a huge amount of goods at once, the first thing to solve is naturally this problem.
Shen Yang commanded Zhu Cao to calculate that the four military governments in Junzhou needed to allocate about 200,000 yuan to purchase cattle, farm tools, and seeds, so as to ensure that the military government's tuntian fields could be carried out in an orderly manner as soon as possible, so that the military households could be properly resettled.
The simplest way is to allocate 50,000 yuan to each of the four military governments of Xichuan, Jingzikou, Canglang, and Jingyun, so that they can raise their own funds to buy farming cattle, farm tools, and build a walled city.
After the concubine personally interrogated, it was finally decided that the four military governments should allocate 20,000 yuan of public money for each family, and the other 200,000 yuan would be concentrated in the hands of Shi Chaijian, the governor of Jun.
In addition to the unified purchase of cultivated cattle, farm tools and other reclamation materials, in the end, the armament, armor, war horses, and even the preparation and repair of war weapons of the Junzhou garrison were concentrated in the hands of Chai Jian.
After the autumn, Yongchun Palace Manor will build river embankments, river embankments, and dig ditches, so that 20,000 mu of fertile land can be added before the spring reclamation of the next year, and Yongchun Palace Manor will build a permanent barracks that can accommodate 3,000 elite cavalry, and 100,000 yuan will be allocated.
Chai Jian and Zhang Ping undertook these two things, which were commensurate with the authority of the two of them, but because the three princes had not yet restored their trust in the Marquis of Xinchang, they deliberately suppressed them in charge, but this time it was regarded as on the right track with the personal intervention of the concubine.
Shen Yang didn't know about the concubine's involvement with the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Late Red Mansion, but felt that it should be like this.
After the bloody battle of Xichuan, although many people in the Longque Army were awarded official rewards, the treasury was empty, and the county king's mansion was also shy in his pocket, and there was no reward in terms of money and materials.
At the beginning of October, in time for the birth of the concubine, the county prince's mansion also allocated an additional 100,000 yuan, as well as some of the scattered fields that the Feng family had privately hidden, and gave them to everyone.
Han Qian was compensated a little bit this time, and like Shen Yang and Li Zhihe, he was rewarded with a maximum of 20 gold medals, while the second-level major generals such as Zhou Yi, Chen Jingzhou, Gao Chengyuan, Zheng Hui, Guo Liang, Chai Jian, and Zhou Shu were rewarded with money and materials half lower than Han Qian and Shen Yang.
Twenty Yi gold has a net weight of thirty catties, Han Qian received the reward, and there were still things to deal with in his hands, so he asked Xi Fa'er to put these gold into a cloth bag and follow him to Jinyun Tower.
When she arrived at Jinyun Tower, Xi Fa'er stared nervously at the cloth bag containing gold, and her eyes did not dare to leave for a moment, as if she was afraid that if she blinked, the gold would be stolen.
Han Qian scolded with a smile: "It's really a guy who hasn't seen the money-Xi Fa'er, I'll give you a debut question, if this gold is replaced with copper money, how many days will it take for you to carry it back to Yandangji from Jinyun Tower alone?" ”
Xi Fa'er practiced fists, feet, knives and bows when he was young, was sold into slavery, and secretly practiced unadorned, and did not abandon it, but he did not teach him to read, let alone arithmetic, which is the biggest shortcoming.
"A piece of gold twenty-four taels, a tael of gold is worth twelve taels of money, a pair of Tianzhen Tongbao net weight of six catties and four taels, thirty Yi gold folded copper money about 36,000 catties of weight, from Jinyun Lou to Fengxiang Street, out of Donghua Gate, through Jinpudu, and then turn north to Yandangji, to thirty miles, Xi Fa'er can only walk two times a day, back two hundred catties, almost one hundred and eighty days to carry these more copper money back to Yandangji - obedient, no wonder it is said that thousands of miles of officials are seeking wealth, like an adult such a reward, Xi Fa'er has to move for half a year before he can move back to Zhuangzi. Xi Fa'er smacked her lips and shouted.
"When you talk about this, do you want to think about how we feel?" Feng Yi sat aside and said resentfully.
In order to avoid suspicion, Han Qian sent Feng Yi, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong to the county palace for solitary confinement, and for almost half a month, Jiang Xu and Yuan Guowei personally arranged for them to be detained.
Although Emperor Tianwei decreed that all the Feng family's close followers and henchmen were demoted to commoners, Feng Wenlan, Kong Zhou's wives and concubines, several concubines, nephews, family soldiers, and the main stewards of the palace were almost 500 people who were imprisoned until early October, during which time people were constantly taken away for interrogation by people from the Inner Government Bureau.
It can be seen that the goods seized by the Feng family this time are really amazing, so that the palace is always worried that the Feng family has something to hide.
It was also the day before yesterday that the three princes returned from entering the palace again, so they ordered Feng Yi, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong to be released, and Han Qian asked them to go to Jinyun Tower to sort out the collection of books and classics, at least it would not embarrass them.
Feng Yi and Kong Xirong encountered a catastrophe, everyone was very thin, and they were all frightened when they met outsiders, only in front of Han Qian did they feel more comfortable.
Outsiders may not know, but Feng Yi knew that the reward Han Qian received this time was actually the confiscated family property of his Feng family, and his mood was even more depressed.
"You still have the face to complain, if you didn't have two faces, why did you end up like this? I almost hurt my family, and I was implicated by you! Xi Fa'er said tauntingly, Feng Yi before him was not the young master of the Feng family.
Seeing Feng Yi's pale face, Han Qian waved his hand and asked Xi Fa'er to say a few words.
"Lord Han, can you help us inquire when the Third Division will lift the ban on Feng Mansion? Can my mother move back to Xuanzhou? Feng Yu asked.
"I asked Lord Jiang, your mother, aunt and brother are afraid that they will have to be detained for a period of time for the time being, and the others will probably be able to move out of the Feng Mansion in the next few days, and then I will ask Your Highness, can you live in Yandangji." Han Qian said.
"Why did I, the Feng family, choose King Xin, it was wrong, could it be that Emperor Tianyou is really determined to support the three princes to ascend the throne?" Even if he encountered a great disaster, Feng Yi still breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked Han Qian unwillingly.
Han Qian glanced downstairs and said to Feng Yu: "Your Majesty may not be interested in the Third Highness, if you don't come to me, go directly to the Chuzhou Pavilion, the situation will be better than now." Your Feng family suffered a disaster, and it was really bad because of half-heartedness. This half-heartedness is not half-heartedness to the Third Highness, but half-heartedness to His Majesty. And whether it is the Third Highness, or Chuzhou, or even Shouzhou, at this time, you can only follow Your Majesty's wishes, you can't figure it out until now, right? ”
Feng Yi and Kong Xirong are both sons of gentlemen, and they have lived until now, but Feng Yi is regarded by Feng Wenlan as the successor of the Feng family, and he went to the state and county to serve very early, and he also started from the grassroots officials.
The only pity is that Feng Yi, like his father, was too gloomy, and he never thought that he would eventually be eaten by the house slaves around him, and he almost died without a place to be buried.
At this time, Tian Cheng walked in and said, "Your Highness is here." ”
As soon as Han Qian was about to go downstairs to greet him, the third prince, Yang Yuanpu, walked straight upstairs.
"Your Highness, if there is anything, send someone to call Han Qian over." Han Qian said.
Seeing that Feng Yi, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong wanted to avoid it, Yang Yuanpu waved his hand and asked them to continue to do their business in the house, there was no need to avoid it deliberately, this was also what he wanted to be more humane.
"The Dragon Bird Army should have an elite cavalry battalion, who does Han Shi think he will choose as the general?" Yang Yuanpu sat down and explained his intentions.
The elite cavalry of the Xuanjia army ruled by Zhu Yu, the king of Liang Yong, walked like the wind in the Jingxiang war, which made a deep impression on everyone.
The Dragon Bird Army only had a small number of cavalry, and in the past, there was a lack of military resources, and there was no thought of forming a large-scale elite cavalry.
With this money and food this time, it is impossible for the Dragon Bird Army to expand for the time being, but everyone has the heart to reorganize the soldiers and horses into jockeys, and even the Yongchun Palace has begun to build a permanent barracks that can accommodate two to three thousand elite cavalry.
Yang Yuanpu also knew the truth that soldiers are not expensive and more expensive at this time, the Longque Army has some active soldiers and horses, and they must be stationed in Junzhou with Li Zhihe and Zhou Shu, to prevent the Liang Army's soldiers and horses from killing Wuguan, and he can directly mobilize the standing soldiers and horses in Jinling, and now the conditions are more relaxed, of course he hopes to be an elite jockey.
"Zhou Yi or Chen Jingzhou! His Highness may choose one of these two to be entrusted with an important task. Han Qian said.
Feng Yi sat aside to sort out the books, and also listened to the words of the three princes and Han Qian, and at first thought that Han Qian would recommend Guo Liang or Gao Chengyuan to take charge of the cavalry camp, but he didn't expect Han Qian to recommend Zhou Yi or Chen Jingzhou, who were born as generals in Junzhou cottages.
Thinking about Han Qian's recommendation again, it is indeed deeper than he thinks.
Zhou Yi and Chen Jingzhou are from cottage generals, and their backgrounds are quite simple, so they must say who they have a close relationship with, that is, they are closer to Han Qian, but if they really want to transfer one of them to Jinling, they can only be loyal to the three princes.
In this way, a group of military attaches and their children from cottages can be transferred into Jinling, on the one hand, the lineage that can be used by the three princes will be greatly increased, and on the other hand, the control of the three princes over Junzhou will also be further improved.
"I will go into the palace at night to see my father, and Master Han will accompany me into the palace." Yang Yuanpu was noncommittal to Han Qian's recommendation, but directly asked Han Qian to accompany him into the palace at night.
Feng Yi was even more shocked at this time, the third prince directly asked Han Qian to accompany him into the palace, the question that the third prince asked just now was really asked by Emperor Tianyou, and Han Qian gave an answer that was in line with Emperor Tianyou's wishes?
