Chapter Seventy-Two: Casting the Net
The land of Daning is fertile black soil, and although the grain in the first year is also a bumper harvest, it has not been irrigated by the Houjin attack, and it has not met Guan Shanyue's expectations. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But the people who tasted the sweetness still couldn't keep their mouths together, because the young commander of the capital really did not break his promise, and after the government collected the meager land endowment, he never came to the door to collect the tyranny like the gang of officials in his hometown. They have surplus grain that they have never dreamed of in their lives, which can be said to be full of pits and grains, which are enough for a family of three to eat for several years.
After the recovery of Daning, this group of people who tasted the sweetness was desperate to open up the wasteland, and the yield of rice, that is, corn, was higher than that of wheat, plus sweet potatoes. Potatoes and other high-yield crops, Daning finally ushered in a bumper grain harvest last year.
Guan Shanyue hurriedly seized the opportunity to set up official warehouses in various cities, purchased grain from the peasants at reasonable prices, and hoarded it for emergencies. In order to deal with the mountains of sweet potatoes and potatoes in various cities, he also led the establishment of the Daning Food Factory, which crushed and ground sweet potatoes and potatoes into flour, and turned them into easy-to-store vermicelli and shiny vermicelli through the skillful hands of the workers in the factory and the vermicelli machine designed by Xu Guangqi, president of the Daning Academy of Sciences.
After a painful run-in period, the Mongolian and Han people of Daning also completed the first ethnic integration, and the martial spirit of the nomadic people and the pioneering spirit of the farming people injected fresh blood into the development of Daning. The enemies of the past who were tense are now all neighbors who bow their heads and do not look up to see their relatives like brothers. This may be what Confucius said, "If Yi Di enters China, China will become China".
The key is that the environment is still very safe, unlike the chaos of Sene. What's even happier is that taking advantage of the geographical advantage, the meat in the market is in constant supply, and the grain is sold and the meat is eaten every once in a while, which is simply a fairy life.
In the cold winter, except for working in the factories run by the government in the city, the occasional bonfire party held by the government, and some people were lucky enough to go to the eunuch's mansion to hear Gonggong Wei tell the story, there was no other entertainment. The people who were full of people were bored and lazy after blowing out the lamps and pulling out the wax, so they had to find fun for themselves to enjoy their bodies and minds, and carry out that primitive entertainment activity - making children.
After more than a year of silence, Chongzhen's three years of Daning finally ushered in the first wave of fertility peak, some are Han, some are Mongolian, some are of mixed Mongolian and Han blood, and countless Daning babies are rushing to this pure land.
Guan Shanyue felt that they were really good at choosing a place, and if they were born in Sene, they would have already become a pile of white bones. The drought in the Yellow River valley has lasted for ten years, and the leader of the group of people who are repairing the reservoir once told Guan Shanyue that Ma Maocai, a pedestrian of the pedestrian department, had told Emperor Chongzhen about the disaster of the Ansai generation in Yan'an Prefecture.
According to the leader's confession, it was said in the fold: "In August and September of the first year of Chongzhen, at the beginning, the villagers rushed to eat the bitter fluffy grass in the mountains, and they could barely die if they ate it. In October, when the grass was exhausted, the victims had to eat all kinds of bark to survive. After the bark was eaten, the hungry and desperate victims had to go to the mountains to dig up the cold and fishy Guanyin soil, which felt full after eating a little, but after a few days they would die of bloating. The most pitiful thing is that there is a dung pit in the west of Ansai City, and every day several abandoned babies must still be in it, some crying and crying for their parents, and some will eat the dung in it. The next day, after all the abandoned babies died, new babies were abandoned. What's even more bizarre is that young children and loners will disappear as soon as they leave the city. Later, outside the gate of Ansai, some people used bones as firewood and boiled human flesh for food, only to learn that those who disappeared had been eaten. And the cannibal will also have swollen faces and red eyes after a few days, and die of dryness and heat inside. The big pit outside the county was even more stinky, and the dead bodies were scattered and piled up with the remains of the deceased. This is true for small counties, and it can be known for large counties; If this is true in one place, it can be known elsewhere. ”
It's really chaotic and not as good as the Taiping dog, Daning has land, under the premise of food permitting, Guan Shanyue intends to accept more victims, but Daning is incomprehensible to the imperial court, and he handed over a few twists and turns one after another as the commander of the capital, all of which have no news from mud cows into the sea.
The big men of all the forces in the DPRK and China are afraid that his power will grow and they will share the power in their hands, and even more so to prevent Daning from being like a fire, even if they understand the actual situation of Daning and know that this is a matter for the benefit of the common people, they are not willing to stand up and say a word for Daning.
All kinds of disasters, military conditions, people's feelings, war reports, and alarms have long made Emperor Chongzhen anxious, and he is busy dealing with these things, so he still has the heart to deal with Daning's affairs, not to mention that he doesn't know anything about Daning's specific situation, and has always thought that it is a barren land that does not obey education.
If she can't succeed from outside, Guan Shanyue can only use her latecomer advantage to seek change from within Daning. Looking at the people who were worse than dead, he understood a truth: striking iron still needs its own hardness, and no matter how generous and powerful the words are said without absolute strength, no one will listen to them. The establishment of this staff department is a good change.
The east city of Duoyan City has three large courtyards with four entrances, which are completely in the style of Jiangnan gardens. Outside, there are all kinds of exquisite brick carvings carved by SX's down-and-out craftsmen, pavilions, rockeries, ponds and gardens in the courtyard, and the empty spaces on both sides are planted with various towering ancient trees and exotic flowers transplanted from Duoyan Mountain. Although everyone volunteered to contribute out of love for Guan Shanyue and did not have to spend a penny of wages, he felt that Duoyan City was in ruins, and he still had a lot of complaints about it. If it weren't for Wei Zhongxian's repeated insistence, saying that this government office represents the majesty and face of the imperial court, he would have stopped work and converted it into an ordinary house.
These three courtyards are respectively the Command Embassy, the Undertaking Embassy and the Punishment Procuratorate. Although at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the rights of the three divisions had a tendency to be gradually replaced by the governor, but after all, the supervision system was not developed and perfected. So after brainstorming, Guan Shanyue still took the advice of Wei Zhongxian, the head snake of the Ming Dynasty, and others.
But after waiting for so many years, the imperial court has not sent corresponding officials to Daning. Except for the previous few times when he threw the burden of the disaster victims to Daning Dusi and sent a small post to contact Guan Shanyue and Qin Liangyu came to the rescue against all odds, Guan Shanyue has never seen a court official again, even the post man who is smaller than a sesame grain has never seen it again. Daning Dusi seemed to have been excluded from the territory of Daming, and was just left aside. However, he would rather believe that the civil and military officials in the court were fighting among themselves, rather than accept the forgotten claim that Daning was forgotten.
Guan Shanyue picked the smallest of the three courtyards to be the commander of the embassy, and the other two courtyards were vacant for so long, in line with the principle of not wasting, the largest one was announced that the embassy had been assigned to the Daning Academy of Sciences, and the third procuratorate was assigned to the Daning General Staff.
In fact, Liu Wenxiu had conducted an inspection when Guan Shanyue designated the Daning Staff Headquarters to be stationed, and he felt that the location of the Dongcheng Prison Office in Duoyan City was particularly good. This place is located at the rear of the central axis of Duoyan City, and it is a large courtyard with four entrances that is larger than the capital command embassy. It is too far away from the Command Embassy, and it is particularly convenient to enter and exit. There are soldiers from the Duoyan battalion guarding outside the city, and in case of an incident, in addition to the soldiers who are assigned to the staff department to be responsible for security and security, the officers and soldiers who command the embassy and the eunuch's mansion can also come to support.
Of course, transformation is inevitable, and according to Wei Zhongxian's suggestion, the last courtyard of the staff headquarters was converted into a prison, because in intelligence work, sometimes interrogation is inevitable. Before letting valuable people speak, they also need a prison for detainees, if they are placed in ordinary prisons, in addition to the large number of people, many torture methods are not suitable for ordinary prisoners, and it is not good for Daning's reputation to spread out.
Since the establishment of the General Staff, Wei Zhongxian has lived the fastest. After staying in Daning Dusi for so many years, he finally found the feeling of a professional counterpart, and his "ability" finally came into use. Don't look at him illiterate, but after being in charge of the East Factory for so many years, he still has many unique insights in intelligence gathering.
The newly recruited rookies are all one-in-a-million talents, and after more than a month of teaching, they have initially become qualified intelligence officers. He firmly believes that as long as they go through actual combat in time, they will become excellent intelligence officers.
Not to mention, some people can't be soldiers, they are really good at intelligence, as long as Wei Zhongxian is a little bit thorough. It seems that God is really fair to everyone, and there will always be a way for people to eat.
The first batch of more than 300 graduated intelligence officers spread out like a big net, except for more than 100 who were sent to Houjin and more than 50 who were sent to the Chahar Department, the rest were all sent by Guan Shanyue to the Great Wall to listen to the news of Huang Taiji. He was really enough of being deaf and blind, and now that he had the conditions in this regard, he was willing to let go of this opportunity to beat Huang Taiji.
He didn't know when Huang Taiji went, but on the way back, he was determined to find out, because he wanted to give Huang Taiji a cut off outside the plug.
Guan Shanyue glanced up at the map on the wall, looked down at the steady stream of information sent by the staff on the table, and said indignantly: "Grandma is a bear, so many materials and population, this Huang Taiji is really enough to toss, he is simply a porter of nature!" It's just that those personnel and materials themselves belong to the Ming Dynasty, and if he is a troubled thief, he will be so sorry for his ancestors! ”
At this moment, there was a dog barking in the yard, and a man with a sweaty head and a wounded face shouted eagerly and urgently in the lobby: "Uncle Guan, Uncle Guan, come out quickly, come out quickly, I will send you a dog!" ”
