Old Zhao stood there abruptly, he raised up together to teach his daughter the method of flattering the master, but he didn't expect to make the young master who returned suddenly hear it, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Looking at the face that had been missing for a long time, standing in front of the door of the hanging flowers, Zhao Ting'er suppressed the tremor in her heart and complained: "Childe! You're going to make fun of Ting'er when you come back! ”

Although Jinling will be in danger every moment of delay in the future, standing in his courtyard at this moment, seeing Zhao Ting'er tidy up so elegantly and quietly, Han Qian still feels very kind.

He also knew that stepping into the courtyard meant that his leisure vacation was over, and he still had to deal with the current crisis situation in Jinling.

Zhao Ting'er, standing under the grapevines, wore a half-arm skirt, revealing slender arms like snow lotus, under the pink and green thin silk, the snow greasy skin was looming, and the face was charming and charming.

Seeing that Zhao Laoqi wanted to slip away as a thief, Han Qian called him to stop and asked him to arrange the living conditions of Du Qiniang, Du Jiuniang, Du Yijun and his wife, Du Yiming and Du Zhou's mother of the Du brothers and sisters.

The Du brothers and sisters are heirlooms of poetry and books, literate and hyphenation, have studied medical skills, and also know the law of sound, although they are all rightly the slaves of the Han family at this time, but Han Qian will not use them as ordinary slaves.

Han Qian asked Zhao Laoqi to arrange a courtyard for the Du family to live in, usually Han Qiniang and Han Jiuniang are in this house, obeying Zhao Ting'er and Xi Yi's calls, and Du Yijun and Du Yiming brothers are first arranged to use as scribes in Zuosi, in short, they make the best use of people and do not raise idlers.

In addition, Han Qian called out to Zhao Laoqian again and asked, "Do you know about Hai Zheng and Yun Niang's marriage?" ”

"Got it, a handsome girl." Zhao Laoqi said.

"Hai Zheng's mother doesn't have any thoughts about this marriage, right?" Han Qian asked.

Lin Haizheng's father and brother died early, and his widowed mother, widowed sister-in-law and nephew Lin Zongjing depended on each other.

Yun Niang is the daughter of the teacher of Shicheng County, Yingzhou, her father was convicted and punished, as well as the widowed mother and the thirteen-year-old younger brother, who were ransomed by Han Qian and sent to Jinling, but at this time their origins were reduced to slaves.

Han Qian was still worried that Lin Haizheng and his mother would have an opinion on this marriage.

"What can you think, where is that girl who is not worthy of Lin Haizheng's boss? Although his father was sentenced for his crimes, he was a poet and a scholar, and after a famous family, the Lin family's mother-in-law was very happy. Zhao Laoqi said.

"That's good, then you have helped to set up the marriage in the past two days, and if there is anything missing, it will be paid from my side, and it will be lively, don't lack the number of courtesies." Han Qian is not a person who pays attention to etiquette, but it does not mean that others will not talk about it, and instruct Zhao Laoqian to be responsible for putting things together.

"Great!" Zhao Laoqi promised to lead the Du family brothers and sisters who were guarding the front yard to a vacant courtyard nearby.

"......" Zhao Ting'er tilted her head to look at Han Qian and said, "Childe seems to have changed a lot this time?" ”

"Where have I changed?" Han Qian looked at his body several times and said, "The nose is still the nose, the hand is still the hand." ”

Han Qian was so determined that he was almost cruel in the past, what willingness did he want to carry it out, and he rarely considered the ideas of others, and he took the initiative to arrange Lin Haizheng's marriage this time, not to mention, he even cared about Lin Haizheng's mother's wishes, which Zhao Ting'er had never imagined before.

Zhao Ting'er saw Xi Ying walking in from the front yard with a burden, and flattered her to take the burden, and asked, "Sister Xi Ying, what happened to the son in Xiangzhou this time?" ”

Although the progress of Jingxiang's war was mentioned in the letters sent back to Jinling every other day, the cruelty and tragedy of the bloody battle of Xichuan and the impact of Fan Dahei's death on Han Qian's heart were difficult to describe with a few strokes.

Therefore, it was difficult for Zhao Ting'er to explain this change in Han Qian's body at this time.

"Has he changed?" Xi Ying glanced at Han Qian and asked Zhao Ting'er rhetorically.

Seeing that Xi Ying refused to say anything, Zhao Ting'er pursed her lips, glanced out, and saw that her younger brother Zhao Wuji was instructing more than twenty Xi teenagers in the front yard how to scout left and right, so she thought about waiting for her younger brother to be idle and ask them what had happened to them in Jingxiang these days.

Han Qian took a break, washed up and changed into civilian clothes, and at this time, Gao Shao, Lin Haizheng, Xi Chang, Guo Nuer, Lin Zongjing and other people who had returned to Jinling in advance also got the news and rushed over to see Han Qian.

"Gao Shao, you arrange for someone to inform His Highness, and say that I have returned to Jinling, and after a little washing, I will go to see His Highness." Han Qian asked Gao Shao to send someone to the county king's mansion first, and told the third prince that he had returned to Jinling.

The Han family's mansion is just an ordinary mansion, except for the main seat against the north wall, there can only be six sitting tables on both sides of the hall of the guests, and Han Qian stood in the atrium to listen to Gao Shao's report on the recent situation of Jinling City during this time.

During this time, Zuo Si mainly maintained the status quo.

In addition to the workshop, warehouse, money shop and chazifang, the scouts who returned to Jinling with Gao Shao and Lin Haizheng in advance also promised a holiday at this time and returned to the cantonment military mansion to reunite with their families.

Under the personal care of the three princes and Shen Yang, the dependents of the casualties were also compensated.

After the casualties of the generals, according to the military government's rules of "brother dies and brother attacks, father dies and son succeeds", Gao Shao and Lin Haizheng, together with the soldier Cao, have also selected some of the children of the casualties to be recorded in the Zuo Division's military room and Chazi's room to serve as scouts and inspectors.

Coupled with a group of elites newly recruited by Han Qian from the convict soldiers and cottage recruits, the scale of the military room and the chazi room is actually much larger than at the beginning.

However, the expansion of workshops, warehouses, and money shops actually stalled when the news of the Liang army's southward movement reached Jinling at the beginning of the year.

For the time being, Han Qian did not plan to expand the workshop, store, and money shop to which Zuo Si belonged, thinking that it would be better to maintain the status quo for the time being.

After Lin Haizheng got married at the end of this month, Han Qian thought that he would take his family to move to Xuzhou, and together with Ji Xiyao, he would take charge of the shipyard, weaving yard, coal yard, iron foundry, plantation and other things in Xuzhou.

At the same time, Han Qian will incorporate Xi Chang and others into the Xuzhou Boat Gang.

These two affairs are not directly involved with Zuo Si, and they can be said to belong to the Han family's industry; Even if the third prince wants to arrange someone else to take over Zuo Si in the future, he will not be able to take over these two affairs.

In addition to Zuo Si, Li Zhihe and Zhou Shu were ordered to lead their troops to garrison outside Junzhou, but the other soldiers and horses of the Longque Army, under the leadership of Gao Chengyuan, Guo Liang and others, have already returned to Jinling.

This part of the soldiers and horses has also been lifted from the wartime establishment and returned to the cantonment military government, and during this time, the cantonment military government has also allocated its tuntian to each military household.

Listening to Gao Shao's latest situation in the military government, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "The fields of the military government have been divided?" ”

"This is what Lord Shen Yang has been promoting in the month since he returned to Jinling," Gao Shao saw that Han Qian's expression was a little abnormal, and said uncertainly, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Han Qian shook his head and said, "It's nothing, according to the laws of the imperial court, it should be the same." ”

The tuntian of Dachu is divided into two forms.

The military provides arable land, cattle, seeds and other means of production, and provides rations and salaries to the generals for centralized production, and finally the income from cultivation is classified as military resources.

The other is the military government's military household tun species.

When Emperor Tianyou rose to Jianghuai, he allocated a large amount of land to the cantonment military government, and then distributed these cultivated land to the generals and dependents of the Jianghuai army, that is, the military households of the military government for cultivation.

Compared with ordinary civilians, military households can get a share of the land, but in addition to bearing a certain amount of land tax, they also have to bear the allocation and repair of the military armor required during their service, and undertake heavier military service than ordinary civilian conscription.

On the one hand, a large number of infected and hungry people lacked basic self-help ability, and on the other hand, the first batch of people assigned to the military government now have extremely limited arable land, and it is also necessary to organize large-scale manpower and material resources to enclose lake embankments and reclaim polders, which cannot be accomplished by scattered soldiers.

And more importantly, it was necessary to strictly control the spread of the source of the epidemic at that time.

Therefore, Han Qian and his father initially suggested in "Epidemic Water Sparseness" that the Longque Army adopted the method of tuntian, which was in between, although the generals and their dependents were assigned to the military households, but at the same time, the cultivated land under the name of the military government was not directly distributed to each military household, but unified cultivation, fortification construction and material allocation.

In fact, this also made the cantonment military government and tens of thousands of military households of the Dragon Bird Army have always been in a highly organized state for more than a year.

This is also an important factor in the combat effectiveness of the Dragon Bird Army being higher than others imagined.

Han Qian didn't know if Shen Yang didn't realize this, or if he purely felt that everything should be obeyed by the laws of the imperial court, or if he purely implemented the will of Emperor Tianyou, so he decided to divide the cultivated land belonging to the military mansion to each military household, breaking up the high degree of organization within the Taowu Jijun Mansion before.

Of course, there is a benefit to this.

That is, the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion used to deeply infiltrate the affairs of the military government, and their strong control over the Dragon Bird Army was also weakened.

Returning to the normal cantonment military government system, the military households to which the Longque Army belonged to them usually cultivated the fields allocated by the military government and made a difficult livelihood, and usually only a quarter to one-third of the military households would be conscripted into active duty in turn to undertake military tasks such as road construction, city construction, defense, and warfare.

And in the end, which part of the military household will be recruited, and which general will be under the command of the requisitioned and transferred in place, will be included in the jurisdiction of the county king's mansion and the left and right military palaces.

The advantage of this is to ensure that the military power given to the three princes by Emperor Tianyou will be better concentrated on the three princes and restrain the generals below from arbitrarily exercising power.

Shen Yang returned to Jinling with the third prince and pushed forward this matter as soon as possible, which shows that even if he didn't know the true secret of the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion, he still tried his best to further suppress the control of the Longque Army by the Xinchang Marquis Mansion.

However, it is also possible that Shen Yang's intentions may be the will of Emperor Tianyou to advance through Shen Yang, and they will not be fully realized.

Under normal circumstances, a group of generals should be rotated every three to four months, and whether it is to maintain the necessary combat effectiveness of the army or to keep the generals close and alienated from ordinary generals, it will prompt the commanders and generals to continuously strengthen the combat effectiveness and treatment of their descendants.

If the most elite combat power in the army is still in the hands of a few generals, then Shen Yang's intentions will be bankrupt.

Han Qian couldn't say that Shen Yang lacked foresight, but in fact, there was a serious disconnect between the current reality of Great Chu and the imitation of the previous dynasties, which could not be reversed by a few people.
