With dozens of large and small fishing boats, including 100-ton fishing boats, and also a processing plant for pickling and canned salted fish, more than 3,000 prisoners of war worked for it, and also hired many villagers in the surrounding area to work for the 29th Reclamation Regiment.

But it's not a fishing company!

Today's 29th Reclamation Regiment can be said to be very peculiar, first of all, its system, it is not a simple private company, not even a subordinate enterprise of the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises, it belongs to the Privy Council.

Because every reclamation regiment is essentially an armed force, even if the reclamation regiment is composed of prisoners of war, it is not engaged in combat, but engaged in production, but it is still a military force, and the management is militarized.

All the reclamation regiments are under the management of the Prisoner of War Division under the Logistics Department of the Privy Council, and at present, the entire Tang Dynasty has a total of nearly 100 reclamation regiments, with a total number of more than 500,000 people.

Some of these reclamation regiments are prisoners of war from the main force of the Ming army on the battlefield, but more of them are still many local guards of the original Ming army, and the young men who were temporarily recruited, even if these guards and temporary young men were in the Ming army before, they all belonged to the second-line auxiliary forces, and basically did not participate in the front-line battles, but they were still part of the Ming army.

When the Tang Dynasty defeated the main force of the Ming army, most of these 'Ming troops' were also prisoners of war, and then they were incorporated into the Tunken Regiment!

After all, it is impossible for the Tang Dynasty to say that it will ignore the main force of the Ming army after defeating it, and if these guards and temporary young men are left alone, they will become stragglers.

In addition, the rear of the Tang Dynasty is now in a period of resumption of production, and there is a great shortage of labor, especially free labor, so it is more inclined to send prisoners of war to the rear for labor production.

Of course, the prisoners of war in these cantonment regiments are different from the diehards who are still imprisoned in the prisoner of war camps, and most of the diehards in the prisoner of war camps will be sent to various mines, waiting for them to work hard until death.

The prisoners of war in the cantonment regiment were treated much better, basically they could be released after farming or participating in other labor, and sometimes Li Xuan would give amnesty, and when they encountered amnesty, they would be able to get free faster.

At present, the vast majority of these reclamation regiments are engaged in land reclamation and farming in various places, and a small number are building roads, bridges, and water conservancy.

But like the 29th Reclamation Regiment, it is the only one among nearly 100 reclamation regiments!

Due to coincidence and historical problems, the 29th Reclamation Regiment is no longer a simple reclamation regiment, but has become a fishing company.

However, in terms of management, it is quite troublesome, at least the superior department of the 29th Reclamation Regiment, that is, the Prisoners of War Division of the Logistics Department of the Privy Council, to be honest, does not know how to deal with this 29th Reclamation Regiment.

However, it is not possible to deal with it all the time, and with the passage of time, the personnel of the more than 20 cantonment regiments that were previously set up in the Liangguang area, except for the 29th cantonment regiment, have long disappeared, and only one empty number is now hung under the name of the Prisoner of War Division.

However, only the 29th Reclamation Regiment still has more than 3,500 people, which is only a few dozen fewer than when the 29th Reclamation Regiment was established.

The Prisoners of War Division is very entangled, and they will definitely not be able to directly abolish the 29th Reclamation Regiment, because the 29th Reclamation Regiment is no longer a simple Reclamation Regiment, but has become a fishing company, and has already become the food and clothing parents of more than 3,000 prisoners of war and the surrounding villagers.

Moreover, the 29th Reclamation Regiment in the fishing industry, to be honest, is really good, after the Tang Dynasty opened the sea ban, there are more cases of people going to sea to fish, and there are also some big businessmen who buy big fishing boats to go to sea to fish, but can do the 29th Reclamation Regiment of this scale, to be honest, there is really no.

What's more, today's Erjiu brand canned salted fish, which has already been exported to many regions in China, has a considerable profitability, except for a small part of the money that is distributed as a subsidy to more than 3,000 prisoners of war, where does the rest go?

The commander of the 29th Reclamation Regiment, Captain Lu Pingfang, did not have the courage to take it privately, at most he gave himself a very high amount of subsidies, amounting to more than 3,000 taels of silver per year, and most of the rest were sent back to the Prisoner of War Division.

Directly revoked, this input is gone, to be honest, they are reluctant.

But not undone?

This is even worse!

If it continues like this, it will become the army directly engaged in business, and this is a taboo thing, and the Ancient Sage Monarch has always emphasized that the army is only responsible for fighting, and other things are not in charge of it, and it can't be managed!

If the military is directly engaged in business, to be honest, even a state-owned enterprise in the Ministry of State-owned Enterprises will not be able to compete with them!

With the support of the army, who they compete with them, this will seriously undermine the fairness of the imperial market economy, and even more destroy the balance and stability between the military, politics and economy of the Tang Dynasty.

If you really want to investigate it, this is definitely a major political issue, if the Ancient Sage Monarch goes berserk, I'm afraid that someone at the top of the army will have to be unlucky!

In the first two years, the Ministry of Taxation was bent on building a tax inspection corps, and the cabinet also wanted to engage in a patrol corps, but the Ancient Sage has always been unallowed, and whoever dares to mention it will beat up anyone's team.

Seeing that the 29th Reclamation Regiment was getting bigger and bigger, the people on the side of the Prisoners of War Division were also a little scared, and they couldn't be regarded as if they couldn't see it, if someone poked it out in the future, I was afraid that there would be big trouble, and they themselves didn't know how to deal with it, so they quickly sent the report to the logistics department and asked their superiors for help.

The boss of the logistics department took a look, Mom, I haven't paid attention in the past few years, and there is such a profitable reclamation group under my hands?

Xuanping handed over 160,000 taels of silver in profits in five years?

In the first two quarters of Xuanping's sixth year, 130,000 taels of silver were handed over, and the profit handed over for the whole year of this year may exceed 200,000 taels of silver?

Damn, that bastard got it out, and he wants to kill Lao Tzu!

I said that in the past two years, why has the Prisoner of War Division of our Logistics Department not looked for its own funds every day as in previous years, and they feel that they have used this 29th Reclamation Regiment to make money to subsidize the funds, and they probably thought that pie fell from the sky, but how could this be a pie, but a hot potato.

Is the logistics department short of money? Lacking, after all, no matter how much money you have, it's not enough to spend!

But is it really missing? Missing a fart!

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there is no institution richer than the Tang Army, in the sixth year of Xuanping, their army took more than 20 million taels of silver a year, and this is not counting the occasional subsidy for some temporary war expenses by the Ancient Sage.

Even if it was the money bag of the Ministry of Revenue, there was definitely no chic in the army that day!

The Privy Council Logistics Department, as a branch of the Army, is naturally not short of money!

For the sake of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, they made such a big trouble, and several bigwigs in the logistics department were eager to shoot those people from the prisoner of war department directly.

The bigwigs of the logistics department discussed it, thinking that this matter could not be poked out, and it had to be handled quietly internally, and in the end, the 29th Reclamation Regiment had never existed, so as not to let outsiders, especially those civil servants in the cabinet, seize the handle.

Therefore, a military order was soon sent to the 29th Reclamation Regiment, which said that the 29th Reclamation Regiment had completed its historical mission and that all prisoners of war would be released.

Of course, it was impossible for them not to see those thousands of people, so they also made compensation, such as a one-time three-month allowance for the prisoners of war who were released and returned home as severance pay, and at the same time, they also transferred the commander of the 29th Reclamation Regiment, Captain Lu Pingfang, to the reserve force of Qiongzhou Mansion.

And in this way, the people of the 29th Reclamation Regiment are unwilling!

They honestly go out to sea to fish, work in factories, just to earn a wage, who are they hindering?

Release? Three-month subsidy?

And then how will they live in the future?

Working in the 29th Reclamation Regiment, although they are prisoners of war, they are actually no different from ordinary workers, because the 29th Reclamation Regiment is very profitable, and the salary is also very high.

Without this job, how can they support their family?

And as the head of the 29th Reclamation Regiment, Lu Fangfang is also a little unwilling, he has worked hard for several years to get the business of the 29th Reclamation Regiment to this point, and he does not have any corruption, well, at most, the subsidy given to himself is a little higher, but the thousands of taels of subsidies and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver profits handed over in the past two years, that's a fart!

In the past few years, Lu Square has already regarded the 29th Reclamation Regiment as his own business, and now he is disbanded when he says that it will be disbanded, and he is not convinced!

He was also a bandit, and he was not afraid of the heavens and the earth, so he handed it directly to the editor, and this was not through the logistics department, but through the channel of the Inspectorate.

Then, the civil officials just knew!

It didn't take long for Li Xuan's desk to be full of excerpts from civilian officials impeaching military generals for meddling in commercial undertakings, demanding severe punishment of the army's top brass, especially those in charge of the logistics department, including Lu Square's excerpts.

Li Xuan looked at this large pile of folds, with a speechless expression on his face, to be honest, he didn't know what to say!
