Chapter 0264: Lobbying Journey [24]
In other words, another spring has arrived. The old man walked to the beginning of spring in 403 AD. Luo Yunxiao has prepared 12,000 stone of rice seeds for spring sowing this season, which is expected to be planted in 180,000 acres of rice fields.
On the basis of last year's 72,000 acres, this time Xu Jiayun's family in Fushan Town was added to 33,000 acres; 14,000 acres of Wolongmen; 8,000 acres of demon village; 28,000 acres of Tianyou Village and 25,000 acres leased in Zuofeng County. That's a total of 180,000 acres of land. After this batch of rice seeds is planted, when it comes to the summer harvest, the harvest is conservatively estimated to be 3.5 million stone grain! This is enough food to comfortably feed 1.8 million to 2 million people.
The existing number of fields in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty is about 11 million mu, and the annual grain output is 40 million stones. And with the small half of the state and county occupied by Duxiu Mountain, it can actually complete nearly one-tenth of the grain output in the entire world. Such a comparison can instantly make those in power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty feel ashamed.
That is, in the past few months, Zuofeng County has finally had its own base, although it is shared with others, but at least it is the first step. Don't underestimate this step, it is a clarion call for the expansion of Duxiu Mountain to Jiaozhou County and even the entire Eastern Jin Kingdom.
Soon after, the fragrant fairy drunk also began to be on the market. Luo Yunxiao asked his 12 restaurants to try to sell them first. But what I never expected was that as soon as this wine was launched, it became a sought-after commodity, and 200,000 catties of fairy drunk were sold in a month, and the net profit reached 300,000 taels of silver.
There is another thing that makes Luo Yunxiao think about it day and night. It is under the leadership of Gongsun Yulang that all craftsmen have been working day and night to speed up the production, and in more than 2 months, 200 Li Guangshen guns have been made. Bullets also made 6000 rounds. Luo Yunxiao decided to assign these 200 guns to the guard commander and deputy guard commander above the regiment level first. Because these people are directly responsible for the security work. A Sharpshooter can increase the force value by at least 200 points per person, allowing them to increase several notches at once.
However, it is almost said that after someone got the gun, they were all grateful to Na Luo Yunxiao and sang praises of virtue. There was only one person who didn't appreciate this at all. Needless to say, there will be no one but Hua Qianchang.
Hua Qianyan has always been full of confidence in his own ability and has no fear. Having this gun or not having this gun didn't make any difference to him. He even felt that having this gun had become a burden, and he couldn't show his magic skills to the fullest. So, it's better not to do it. So he rejected Luo Yunxiao's kindness.
Luo Yunxiao also felt that he had given Hua Qianyan a gun, which was indeed a move --- took off his pants and leaked air. In the end, he gave the gun to Du Cangran.
Although Du Cangran is the No. 2 person in the 1st Route Army, his martial arts are not too high, and he is currently only at the level of a captain. It's different after having a gun, when you meet a famous 1 to 5-star master in the rivers and lakes, you don't have to deliberately avoid it, just go directly to him, with a gun in hand, it's simply no pressure at all!
On this day, Luo Yunxiao was in the study, and took out the big encyclopedia that he traveled from the future with him, and wanted to find some practical and timely information in it, and after a little improvement, he could take it out for promotion and practice.
At this moment, I heard that someone outside the door came to report that someone from the Jiaozhou County Government had come to visit Commander Luo of Duxiu Mountain. It stands to reason that one side is an official and the other side is a bandit, and officials and bandits should avoid each other, exclude each other, restrain each other, and avoid each other. Deeper, the relationship between the two sides should be more like the relationship between water and fire; Even their relationship is hostile, and there is not the slightest point of intersection to connect. At this time, the government sent someone to visit him, what kind of medicine was sold in their gourd? No matter what kind of medicine they are selling, they must first see what kind of medicine they are serving, and then they can make judgments and decisions.
This time to visit Luo Yunxiao in Duxiu Mountain was Zhu Yuan, the general judge of Xing'an Mansion in Jiaozhou County, and Bo Yang Ziqing, the head of the state capital, in addition to 2 captains of the state capital to follow.
Luo Yunxiao led a group of high-level officials to the door of the cottage, and enthusiastically welcomed Zhu Tongju, Yang Zhubo, and 2 school captains into the meeting hall. After the guests and hosts finished their respective seats, Luo Yunxiao asked with a smile: "I don't know what Lord Tongju is doing here in my Duxiu Mountain?" I will say a not very nice thing below, you are an official, and I am a bandit. There doesn't seem to be a place for us to intersect! Ha ha......! ”
Zhu Tongju smiled awkwardly and said, "Commander Luo, you are laughing. You and your Duxiu Mountain are now the princes of our Jiaozhou County! It can be said that everyone knows it and is a household name. Today, this official is Zhou Taishou from Xing'an Mansion in Jiaozhou County, and Lord Han of the State and County Assassin Shi specially came to visit Commander Luo. ”
Coming to visit? What an international joke! Who will believe it! is so slurring and spitting, it is clear that there is something in the words. What is certain is that he is not a drunkard. It's also called a beautiful name to come to visit, but in fact, there are other plans, hum! These words are still a lie!
Luo Yunxiao knew that what he said was not from his heart, and there was a lot of vanity. But he didn't break him, but followed his train of thought and said with a smile: "Haha! I'm a country horseman, and I can still make Lord Futai and Lord Thorn Shi worry, which really makes me panic! I also asked Zhu Tongju and Yang Zhubo to thank the two adults after they went back. ”
Zhu Yuan Zhu Tong originally thought that Luo Yunxiao would follow his train of thought and enter the topic he had designed, so that he could explain his intention logically. Unexpectedly, this commander, who seems to be very young and does not look, but leads tens of thousands of horses, actually does not play cards according to common sense, and even does not pick up his own stubble. For a while, I didn't know how to continue these words.
Fortunately, Yang Zhubo followed. This Yang Ziqing, he is a well-known debater in the state capital, and no one can control that mouth in Jiaozhou County.
I saw Yang Ziqing smile very calmly, and then said, "Hehe! It is said that you Duxiu Mountain has opened 12 restaurants on the boundary of Jiaozhou County, and each of them is full of guests and friends every day, and customers linger, so the business is so good that it bursts! According to the official's opinion, it must be full of money and money! However, this is nothing. We have also heard that the eight strongholds in Duxiu Mountain have had a good grain harvest this year. According to reliable sources, it is said that the granaries of your eight strongholds are piled up and full. It's really enviable! ”
"Humph! What's wrong with the rolling money? What about the piles up? Does this have anything to do with your government? Luo Yunxiao couldn't help but secretly think to himself in his heart. But there is another rhetoric: "I really can't imagine that our small achievements here have been infinitely exaggerated by the outside world." It is true that this year is a good year and the people live in peace, so that our rice harvest and the income of the restaurant have achieved good results, but we have to raise tens of thousands of people! The cost is so huge that it's almost the same in terms of income and expenditure. In this way, there will be very little left, and those scattered people will naturally not fall into the eyes of your government. "To put it simply, there are many dolls at home, there is a lot of food, and the consumption is very large, so we are still very poor!
Yang Zhubo didn't have the slightest intention of refuting, but still showed a calm and breezy look, and saw him smile slightly: "Commander Luo, can this official come and ask you a few questions?" ”
Luo Yunxiao was slightly stunned, and soon, he made a gesture of please, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Naturally, there is no problem at all." Lord Yang is thin but it doesn't hurt to ask, he will definitely say everything in the future, and he will answer all questions. ”
Yang Ziqing deserves to be a well-known debater, and in a few words, he took advantage of the situation to bring Luo Yunxiao into the topic he set. But seeing that he asked very confidently: "Then this official, may I ask Commander Luo and all the leaders of Duxiu Mountain, are you still considered to be the people of our Great Jin Dynasty?" If I make my own living in the land of Dajin, don't I have to pay a certain amount of taxes? So do you still have the existence of the royal law in your heart? Do you still recognize the legitimacy and authority of our government? ”
Wow! What a sharp question! This is indeed a matter of thinking clearly and thinking thoroughly before giving the right answer. According to normal logical thinking, there is no doubt that the people of Duxiu Mountain are of course the people of the Great Jin Kingdom! You can't always be high-sounding and openly provoke to tell the other party that we are bandits and robbers, and we are not the people of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. There is no doubt that this is tantamount to declaring war directly on the government, but now starting a war with the Eastern Jin Dynasty is simply a strategy, and it belongs to the rhythm of self-seeking death and self-destruction!
As for whether there is a royal law in my heart? Without hesitation, you can think: "Naturally, there is no royal law." But this kind of words can only be understood, not spoken, and must be hidden in the depths of the heart. If you want to say whether you recognize the legitimacy of the official family. Authority. On the surface, of course, you have to admit it! If you are doing all kinds of business on other people's territory, you have to follow the rules of the game set by others, and implement them according to the requirements given by others. If you want to talk to them at this moment, it means to pull your face down, which means to turn your face with others. }, that would be equivalent to competing with the entire country of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and fighting for strength. This is obviously very unwise for Duxiushan, which is still in the development stage.
As a result, Luo Yunxiao already knew clearly what he should do next.
