Chapter 156. You can't spend money if you have money
Mao Jue's disposal was still very fair, and the more than 30 rebels who made a fuss in the city were all sentenced to arson, expelled from the pro-soldiers, compensated for the loss of the restaurant and nearby houses, and finally exiled to Tsushima Island to cast the city, whether it was an officer or a soldier, there was no special.
This trial also broke a convention in the army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the crimes committed by the soldiers were generally dealt with by their own generals, even if they were higher-level generals, they could not be overcome, but Mao Jue crossed Zhao Cheng to dispose of his guards, and once again demonstrated his absolute ruling power to the entire Tieyi, no one was an exception.
However, this is only a superficial solution, and this time after returning from the Wa Kingdom, a series of deep problems have resurfaced. Whether it's a fight or a fire, a brawl or a fight, it sums up a problem.
There is nowhere to spend the money!
Even if they did not go to Nagasaki City to loot, the emptying of rich merchants was organized under command and supervision, but a person still fell to the reward of fifty or sixty taels of silver, and it was not for nothing that he was lucky to have more than one hundred taels, if it was a traditional Chinese home, the only thing to do at this time was to buy land and build a house.
However, the most precious thing in Tieyi is land, the two counties are mountainous, even if you add the newly reclaimed land, plus a piece of land is only 1340,000 yuan, the population of Tieyi has been growing in the past two years, and the thousands of acres of land that can be bought and sold in addition to the military tun have long been swept away.
If there is no land, how can you spend the money in your pocket? Tieyijun Town has a few restaurants in Tieshan Yizhou, ignoring the purchasing power market in their own defense area, most of the silk southern goods from the south of the Yangtze River are still used by Mao Jue as export products and Houjin trading war horse northern goods, and they can't be ranked up when they go to the restaurant, what do these soldiers do if they don't fight?
You can generously reward the soldiers, but you must not let them have extra money in their pockets, only such an army in this era has combat effectiveness, otherwise what would Lao Tzu do with that money?
"Master, are you really sure?"
Holding the Tuntian account book of Tieyi's subordinate to the Deputy General's Mansion, the chief butler of the Deputy General's Mansion, and the overseer of the army's grain road, Su Fatzi was full of disbelief, but sitting on the large circle chair in the deputy general's study, Mao Jue nodded helplessly.
"That's right, withdraw the sixteen military camps in Baimachuan, and all the fields here will be put up for sale, but only limited to the Tieyi Legion, and each person is limited to five acres!"
The military general sells the land of the imperial court without permission, but it is a capital crime! Of course, this regulation is not much heavier than farting in the warlordized Dongjiang, Su Changmei didn't worry about it at all, the only thing he had to worry about was that this Baimachuan was a rare fertile plain in Yizhou, and if it was sold here, the autumn harvest of the deputy general's mansion would have a great impact.
Moreover, now in May, the crops will be harvested in two more months, and the withdrawal of the sixteen military cantonments at this time will also cause many people to be dissatisfied.
However, there has to be a place for these soldiers and ruffians to consume, otherwise Mao Jue would not dare to fight a battle, seeing that Su Changmei was still hesitating, he simply rolled up his sleeves and stood up, shaking his arms from side to side and moving his lower body.
"For Lao Tzu to fight desperately, there must always be some privileges to show benefits, besides, their land is here, once Jiannu attacks in the future, they will not worry that they will not desperately protect the township party."
Mao Jue said this, Su Changmei naturally had nothing to say, took the field book and walked out of the office with a bitter face, twisted his waist again, and then paced to the window, looked down at Su Fat, who was twisting a fat body and screaming at the logistics soldiers, and he rubbed his head with a headache.
"O land! Land!"
This year, the land is really the most precious resource, as soon as the news is released, the white horse mountain city will be lively, even if Tian Tao Zhao Cheng's soldiers are all far away to take an ox cart to Yizhou, the old man in the queue, the whole Yizhou knows no more than three digits, in the face of a big soldier pointing fingers to smash the silver without money, more than a dozen orderly soldiers who can recognize the word are busy in a panic, this head will cover the title deed of the Tieyi Deputy General's Mansion to give out, the silver is packed into the box, the price of one acre of land in the first year is as much as 20 taels, In order to buy land, some pro-soldiers took out their daughter-in-law and coffin, and in three days, Bai Machuan sold more than 3,000 pieces of land, and this time Mao Jue issued a bounty of more than 400,000 taels, not to mention, there was an extra 200,000 taels of silver.
This time it really drove a wave of economic development in Tieyi Town, with land, thinking about starting a house, and having to buy furniture, scattered bricks and cements were sold a lot, and the entire Baimachuan seemed to have become a big construction site.
However, the silver was spent, and these soldiers returned to the barracks with peace of mind, and with a hunger for wealth, they fiercely devoted themselves to training, and Mao Jue's Iron Righteous Army once again regained its calm.
…………
Next to the foot of the White Horse Mountain City, leaning on the edge of a valley, a small stream flows out of the mountain, the most amazing thing is that in the valley, a white mist is steaming, not far to the west here is the Changbai Mountains, geological movements are frequent, here is a volcanic hot spring.
In the early spring of May, the trees of Yinyin sprouted, but the birds did not dare to sing, and a group of uninvited guests unceremoniously broke into their homes that had multiplied for hundreds of years.
"This piece is paved with cement for me, and here, here, the yard is made of cement for the pool, and I am so anxious to bury the iron pipes and bring in the hot springs!"
Mao Jue is a rainy day, you have to make money and you have to spend money, the poor Iron Righteous Legion has not waited for the next battle, their war bonus has been targeted by Mao Jue, in this valley he wants to build a military club, and when the time comes, if a group of energetic soldiers are not squeezed out with silver and energy, they will never be released.
The craftsmen I found this time are also foreman-level figures drawn from the cement factory and various forts, and I thought that Mao Jue was going to repair a private house, and they were preoccupied one by one, for fear that the general would not be satisfied with the missed place, and he would be the first in the future.
Mao Jue was so blind that he didn't even know what the comparison was, but a few foremen listened to the "head is the way", and after the "polite" general was asked to rest while drinking tea, the stonemason and the carpenter discussed and drew the drawings by themselves.
This group of foremen was planning back and forth how to get up the house, but Mao Jue had nothing to do for a while, Rome was not built in a day, even if he was in a hurry, the house could not be raised on the ground, now it can only be planned, and then wait slowly.
Not only does this have to become a construction site, looking down, on the Baimachuan Plain of the next Ma Pingchuan, there are also people who push carts and carry burdens back and forth, to be honest, on average, in fact, even if a family has three men to join the army, there are only about fifteen acres of land here, and in the original Tuntian Manor, they may have more than 100 acres of management, but everything is the good of their own family, and the old people who have wandered in Liaodong for half a lifetime are happy to build a new house on their own land, The big wood cut down from the mountains was transported down the road of Mao Jue, the carpenter polished and made into a frame, and the wall was built with green bricks, and the locally produced steel bars were sandwiched inside, but it was much faster than his head, and now more than a dozen village walls have risen a small half, and some of them have begun to smear lime mud quickly, which is a bit of the taste of a well-off village in later generations.
However, the only thing that worries Mao Jue is the land, there are only small pieces of land sandwiched between the dense villages, although the Baima River is big enough, and the land in the east can withstand one or two expansions, but what will happen after that? Land annexation is an almost irreversible trend.
However, Mao Jue has almost no room for expansion, behind him is Li's North Korea, he can't fight, in front of him is Houjin, he can't beat it for the time being, Lushun can think of a way, but he is not the lord of the Dongjiang River, he can't go there, it's too far away!
"How do I get some land?"
In the Ming Dynasty, the landlords oppressed the tenant farmers, the tenant slaves, and the Houjin enslaved the Han people, and the Americans who claimed to be democratic and free also stepped on the bones of the Indians, enslaving the blacks to build up, and then wiped the blood splattered on their faces, and condemned how other countries racially discriminated against Yunyun.
In Yizhou, as this unlucky bastard, at first those who came to recover Yizhou, the Tokaido soldiers and horses who were captured after the collapse, and now they are replaced by a new batch, Nagasaki First World War Mao Jue three-way surprise attack, broke the coalition of the Kuroda Nabeshima family, captured almost more than 2,000 people, the next day Nagasaki's local tyrants and wealthy merchants themselves sent to the door, and even people brought goods and goods by Mao Jue to a pot of stew, plus some mobs and the like, this time with the ship, Mao Jue brought back a total of more than 11,000 prisoners.
What mining and smelting, paving roads and bridges, is also officially handed over to them, responsible for the custody of those who have been liberated from the identity of miners, has been incorporated into the Tieyi Army, later generations of China There are Koreans, but there are no Japanese people!
Wearing a chain in the front and carrying a big piece of wood is the Nagasaki "watermelon" that has fooled Mao Jue, not to mention that he has not seen this guy for half a month and is not thin, and he is fat while walking, and the Japanese warriors who are one meter four and one meter five in the back are either carrying cement bags or carrying bricks, contributing to the construction of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing these people, Mao Jue suddenly flashed a flash of spiritual light in his head......
