Chapter Forty-Six: The Strange Theory of Iron Heart

There is no pressure to carry out reforms in Hami. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was something Huo Xian didn't expect.

The people of Hami did not lack land, and the officials encouraged the cultivation of wasteland, carrying horse-drawn ploughs, catching up with two horses, and carrying a little dry food and water on their backs.

First put a fire on the wasteland, burned the one-person-high basil into ashes and returned to the field, while the ground was still warm after the fire, the horse pulled the plough to turn up all the land, the ashes were buried in the earth, the roots of the basil were turned out again, the wife and children followed behind to pick up the basil roots, and after drying, it was a fire......

When I got up the ridges, I went home, and waited for the government to send people to connect the canals, pour winter water to kill the insects in winter, and after the beginning of spring, it was a good farmland.

After doing these things, the first thing the peasants did was to find an official to measure their land.

If the government sets up a boundary card, this land is considered to be its own, and it can be cultivated for three years without paying taxes, and then passed on to children and grandchildren......

Every family has endless fields, so naturally no one will lack the heart to become a tenant for others.

If there are outsiders who help with the farming, those people must be slaves secretly bought by the peasants.

Naturally, there are no slaves in Qingxiang City, and even if there are, they are people's concubines or godsons.

The countryside is not so exquisite.

Who would have nothing to do and make a slave a concubine and a godson? The Uighurs themselves were unwilling.

In order to complete the heavy task of clearing the land and the task of paying grain, the government has an attitude of not suing the people and not holding the officials accountable for this matter.

Even if the officials who went to the countryside saw the slaves, as long as the peasants did not slaughter the slaves in front of them, they would generally pretend not to see them.

In Huo Xian's reform plan, the most important farmland reform could not be implemented in Hami at all.

Rewarding farming? Encouraging land reclamation?

Oh my God, those peasants can't wait for the government to do this every day, every family has surplus farmland, which is all the income from the reclamation, and it must be rewarded.

Huo Xian had seen enough of the ugly faces of those state officials.

As long as he dares to introduce regulations, these officials dare to implement them immediately, and they will benefit his own subjects anyway.

As for the fact that the scholars and doctors who were hated by all the peasants in the Great Song Dynasty did not pay grain, there was no such thing in Hami at all, and even the soup and cake shop of Tie Xinyuan's family had to pay taxes, and who else in Hami did not pay taxes?

Just when Huo Xian was in a dilemma, Tie Xinyuan issued wartime control, which made the Minister of State led by Huo Xian breathe a long sigh of relief.

It's finally time to redefine your own reform strategy.

As an outsider, Liu Chu saw this matter thoroughly.

When chatting with Huo Xian, he pointed out sharply that Hami was a dynasty that had recently opened its port.

No matter which new dynasty opens a port, it will continue to prosper for decades, because at this time, the dynasty has few people, and a few people occupy a large part of the resources, and they can get what they want without competition.

At this time, as long as it is a reasonable national policy, it will allow the country to continue smoothly for decades, until the population explodes and the social distribution is unequal, and there will be a chance for reform.

After Huo Xian listened to Liu Chu's words, he was silent for a long time, and finally, on an evening full of burning clouds, he entered the City Lord's Mansion with a thick stack of documents.

"How's the armament ready?"

Tie Xinyuan hosted a banquet to entertain Huo Xian.

"It has been completed, Hami is prosperous in commerce and trade, and the military resources we need have been purchased yesterday, and now they are being successively transported to Loulan, Dashi, Sandstone City, Tianshan City, Tie 4, Tie 5, and also sent back the documents for the receipt of winter materials."

The task was completed very well, but Huo Xian did not have much joy on his face, and the matter of preparing supplies for the army, he often did it in the Fubi army, and it was not much difficulty for him.

"The firearms were personally escorted by the commander of the battalion, and they had already set off three days ago."

"The general Meng Yuanzhi sent news that Loulan was invincible, and the scouts traced two hundred miles along the Peacock River and found no trace of the enemy.

It's just that the land of Loulan is extremely cold, and many soldiers have frostbite, so they are required to prepare more than 9,000 cotton jackets and 10,000 cotton hats for the army. Do not delay the use of the general. ”

"General A sent news that his troops had arrived on the outskirts of Yanqi, and that the Qarakhanid garrison had made two small contacts, and there was no difference between victory and defeat.

Now retreating to Kazan and monitoring the Musin army, the strange thing is that the Qarakhanid army has not approached and is now in a stalemate. ”

"Leng Ping, Wang Zhou and the two generals came with the news that the Shanshan Qarakhanid army was acting strangely, and an army of 1,000 people left Bosten Lake and went straight to the desert east of Yanqi, for some reason.

Lengping, Wang Zhou and the two generals did not dare to act without authorization, and continued to garrison Qiuci, and the grain and grass could only be maintained until December. ”

"The secret spy department of the poplar land reported that there are no Khitan secret agents in the desert, and according to the report of the Hami merchants, there is no abnormality in the palace of the king of Zhupu on the other side of the desert."

"Xixia secret spy report, the Gansu Military Division has not seen any abnormalities, more than 3,600 defenders of the Shazhou Military Division have retreated to Sanwei Mountain for the winter due to winter reasons, and 6,400 people from the Xiping Military Division have been stationed in Changle City, and there is no sign of going north."

After listening carefully to Huo Xian's report, Tie Xinyuan poured him a glass of wine and said: "I have worked hard to Xiangguo, in the opinion of Xiangguo, in this situation, should I Hami be enterprising, or retreat?" ”

Huo Xian didn't touch the wine glass, looked at Tie Xinyuan and said: "If possible, the old man thinks that Hami should not use troops within three years." ”

Tie Xinyuan nodded and said: "This is indeed the truth, the hearts of the people in our country are not yet stable, although the Uighurs seem to be looking towards Hami now, in fact, they are the first rat at both ends, and they must first settle down at the inside, this is the principle."

I don't know where Xiangguo's changes to Hami will start? ”

Huo Xian smiled bitterly, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and drank three glasses of wine in a row before stopping the wine glass in his hand and saying, "Hami is full of flaws, but there is no big difficulty. ”

Tie Xinyuan approached Huo Xian and said with a smile: "The minister of the country is too modest, the Hami country is in a hurry, and all kinds of systems are shoddy, how can there be only flaws and no major difficulties?" ”

Huo Xian spread his legs casually, pressed his hands on the low table and said helplessly: "Hami is too rich, under the white cover of ugliness, even if there is a problem, it will be a problem decades later."

A golden valley can meet the national needs of Hami Sancheng, plus an agate beach, which is Hami's hardcore crops, just these two places, half of the national use of Hami has been safely pocketed.

As for the remaining deficiencies, they are filled by merchants from the north, south, west and east, and Hami's own taxes, whether there is or not has nothing to do with the overall situation.

The land of Hami is the land of dragons made in heaven. ”

Tie Xinyuan said lightly: "What you said is true, this king wants to ask the prime minister, the Golden Valley has been mined by that small ethnic group for countless years, and the Agate Beach has stood on the Gobi for countless years, and for countless years, there are countless heroes and heroes who have established themselves in Hami, why don't you see others establishing a country here?" ”

Huo Xian took a bite of the dish, put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Naturally, no one can have the eloquence of a king." ”

Tie Xinyuan pointed to his head and said: "I know very well whether I have any eloquence or not, if I insist that I am superior to others, it is that I have a heart of continuous exploration, and dare to come out and do things that others dare not do, therefore, success is also a natural thing."

The world is so big, there are treasures everywhere, I was forced out of the Great Song Dynasty, went through countless hardships and hardships, and finally established the Hami Kingdom.

The land of the Central Plains has nurtured us for countless years, and we have cultivated the mines that we can discover, and the land that we can cultivate.

We think that the Central Plains is the best place in the world, so we are reluctant to leave, even if that land can no longer make us rich, we are still trapped there.

The Great Song Dynasty is now being dragged down by the redundant officials and redundant soldiers you are talking about, hasn't the prime minister thought about it, is this related to the overpopulation of the Great Song Dynasty?

All dynasties have a prosperous period, then Zhongping, finally decay, and finally the country, and then a new dynasty is established, and the footsteps of the predecessors are repeated, step by step from prosperity to decline.

It seems incomprehensible, but it is actually easy to understand, it all has to do with the population, when the kingdom arose, it was after the war, and at that time, because of the war, the population was sharply reduced, and the land was enough to feed everyone, just like Hami now.

Without any changes, the people themselves will find their own way of life and will be able to make themselves rich.

Why? Resourceful results. ”

Huo Xian frowned after listening to Tie Xinyuan's tirade: "Endless expansion? Endless plunder? Everyone understands this truth, but it is too difficult to do, and there are countless people who destroyed the country because of a war in the history books. “

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "You see, this is a matter of courage and benefit distribution, the army is generally stronger and stronger the more it fights, and it is beneficial for a country to maintain a certain war intensity."

If you look at the past two years in the Great Song Dynasty, has it become stronger and stronger? The southern expedition was victorious, and the wealth of the Jiaozhi State filled the empty treasury of the Great Song Dynasty, and the official family also used this wealth to launch the Qingtang War.

The result? This battle wiped out the threat from the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and also obtained a Qingtang who could bring countless war horses to the Great Song Dynasty, and gained more wealth.

And it formed a fatal threat to the Western Xia Kingdom, which had no way in the past, and after the victory of the Great Song Dynasty in the Qing and Tang Dynasties, the strong Western Xia could only take a defensive position in the face of the Great Song Dynasty.

If the Hami Kingdom defeats Mu Sin, we will be able to sit down with the Great Song and discuss the matter of flanking Western Xia back and forth.

Until now, don't you understand that expansion is the best way to relieve the Great Song crisis?

The Great Song Dynasty land annexation is serious? Just lay down a piece of land that is vast and sparsely populated and cultivated by the landless people, and then what is the use of those scholars and nobles of the Great Song Dynasty annexing so much land?

Everyone in the world has land to plant, who will plow the land for others? (To be continued.) )
