When the battle in the Enyang Valley ended in the Baoning Mansion, Zhu Pingjin and his wife had already stayed in the mansion of Yao Yulin, a local tyrant in Jintang Huaikou, for one night.

Since the arrival of the Protector Army, Yao Yulin has no land and no boat. The second Yao Chengguo joined the army, and the eldest Yao Chengbang also joined Wangzhuang to do things.

Yao Yulin looked at the empty mansion, and simply dedicated the mansion and the servants inside to the Shu Palace. With a large amount of money bills, he took his wife and concubine and a few elders to the foot of Jiufeng Mountain in Pengzhou, and started one of the hottest industries at the moment - mining.

The lifeblood of the extractive industry is the ore vein, and the outcropping of the ore vein is called the ore seedling. As long as the seedlings are found, mining and decoction are not a problem.

Xu is Yao Yulin, and there are experts to guide him. Soon after arriving at Jiufeng Mountain, he found a complete copper seedling at the foot of the mountain, which he estimated would not be able to dig up in three lifetimes (Note 1). Yao Yulin was overjoyed and applied for a license for a mining and metallurgical company, ready to do a big job in his lifetime.

……

The reason why Zhu Pingjin and his family left Baoning Mansion and returned to Chengdu in a hurry without waiting for the end of the war situation in northern Sichuan was because several major events occurred in and outside the province at the same time.

On that day, Zhu Pingjin hurriedly asked his wife Luo Yuhong for ideas on how to clean up his uncertain cousin Taiping County Lord.

His wife told him that a fourteen-year-old girl had something very special in her head, called "Secondary 2". has become the second middle school, people don't eat oil and salt, and good things are in vain. Besides, she is not in the Zhu family, so she can only stare at it in a hurry.

Zhu Pingjin humbly begged for advice, but he was dusty, and even though he wanted to leave with his sleeves away, he was coaxed and deceived by his wife to stay:

Li Chongwen sent a note from Chungju, and the content was very important.

Li Chongwen went to Zhongzhou, nominally to congratulate Qin Liangyu on his birthday on behalf of the Shu Wangfu and the Sichuan government, but in fact he had two purposes: first, to take this opportunity to make good friends with the two great Tusi at the level of the Propaganda Department of Shiqi and Youyang in eastern Sichuan, and to test Zeng Ying's opinion on the reorganization of the Zhongzhou garrison into the National Protector Army; The second is to solve practical problems, and ask Shi Yan Tusi and the local garrison to help the displaced people in the matter of crossing the border.

Li Chongwen reported that the results were both expected and unexpected.

The main public relations object, Mrs. Qin, is polite and courteous to Zhu Pingjin, the son of Shu, who is hot and cold. As soon as Li Chongwen arrived, Ma Fu immediately opened the middle door, as grand as welcoming the holy decree.

Qin Liangyu is very tall and strong, even in his twilight years, he is still half a head taller than Li Chongwen. She thanked Zhu Pingjian, the prince of Shu, and Liao Daheng, the governor of Shu, according to the rules, and praised Zhu Pingjin and Liao Daheng's victory in northern Sichuan. But she did not accept the rich reward of the Shu Palace, and returned several large boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, satin and jade in public.

Just heard that there was a big play to watch, Qin Liangyu immediately happily asked the name of the play. That night, Mu Guiying broke through the heavens, and the old woman was so excited that she threw a basket of copper coins on the stage. At the birthday banquet, she tearfully invited the emperor to write four imperial poems for her that year, led everyone to worship in the north, and insinuated that Zhu Pingjian, as the lord of Shu, bent down to befriend the ministers of the court.

Even so, when it came to the passage of the displaced people, Old Lady Qin readily agreed. Not only did she promise not to leave the people in distress, but she also offered to use Tusi soldiers to escort them along the way.

On the issue of displaced people, Zeng Ying, a naval general valued by Zhu Pingjin, was not ambiguous. He agreed to transport the displaced people across the river by boat, collect relief grain in Chungju, and other things, and also agreed to reorganize the army according to the orders of the Sichuan government. It's just that most of his base camp is a naval army, and how the naval army of the National Protector Army is organized, how many ships, how many personnel, how much grain and straw, and how many firearms and gunpowder equipment are used, and he also asked the Sichuan government to come up with a clear charter.

Li Chongwen replied that he was a weak scholar and knew nothing about the army. So he invited Zeng Ying to bring Li Zhanchun and Yu Dajiang to Chengdu to face Liao Fu, and by the way, to meet the prince.

Zeng Ying agreed, and initially decided to take the summer grain and set off. In addition, Zeng Ying, Li Zhanchun, Yu Dajiang and others hosted a banquet for Li Chongwen, and inquired about the affairs of Chongqing during the banquet.

Qin Liangyu and Zeng Ying's attitudes did not surprise Zhu Pingjian.

Qin Liangyu is a loyal minister who has left a name in history. Since he is a loyal minister, it is not good to change the court. She agreed to do her best to help the displaced people cross the border, and Li Chongwen's mission has been achieved.

Zeng Ying was just asking for money and food, and he was also concerned about the safety of their investment in Chongqing.

These Zhu Pingjin can be given, and what can be solved with hats and silver is not a big deal.

To Zhu Pingjin's surprise, Youyang Tusi and its subordinate Yimei Tusi.

Youyang Tusi's surname is Ran, and today's consolation envoy is named Ran Tianyu. Yimei Tusi's surname was Yang, and the reigning governor was named Yang Shenghao (HAO), and it is said that the three chiefs of Pingcha, Shiye, and Diba under Youyang Tusi and the three thousand households were all the ancestors of the Yang family (Note 2).

Li Chongwen reported that Youyang Tusi's response Ran Qilian (SHU) asked to see Li Chongwen in the dark.

Ran Qilian thanked Kuizhou Wangzhuang for his assistance to the Youyang native soldiers stationed in Kuizhou, for which Youyang Tusi was willing to offer a large sum of gold and silver to the Shu Wangfu, and transferred more than 1,000 Tusi soldiers stationed in the south of Fengjie City to the national army. In return, he hoped that the Shu Wangfu and the Sichuan government would send special envoys to the Youyang Guanzhai to reaffirm the hereditary rule of Youyang Tusi over the local area.

Of course, Li Chongwen will not let go of this kind of good thing sent to the door,

He immediately agreed, but after a quarter of an hour he regretted it.

As soon as Ran Qilian left, Yang Xiufu, who responded to the lawsuit of Yimei, immediately handed over a post asking to see him.

Yang Xiufu is much older and more mature than Ran Qilian. may know that as soon as Ran Qilian left, Yang Xiufu cried as soon as he entered the room, asking the Shu Wangfu and the Sichuan government to uphold justice. Li Chongwen's heart was not good, and when he asked, it was so.

Yang Xiufu said that there has been more and more civil strife in Youyang Tusi over the years.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Youyang Tuguan Ran Tianyun led the crowd to make a rebellion, and Tusi Ran Tianqi abandoned the official village and fled. Last year, the thief Kou Shu was sacrificed, and Youyang Tusi was ordered to send troops to Kuizhou Mansion. Ran Tianqi sent troops without food, which led to a mutiny among the native soldiers in the south of Fengjie City. On the way to escape, Ran Tianqi was killed by the local official Ran Liangguang.

Ran Tianyu is Ran Tianqi's second brother. As soon as he came to power, he immediately aimed the spearhead at the surrounding small Tusi, in an attempt to use foreign wars to divert internal contradictions.

Ran Tianyu sent his seventh brother Ran Tianze to recruit Junbeili to threaten Yimei, Pingze and other Yang Tusi; With the sixth brother Ran Tiande, he was stationed in the upper margin and threatened Huguang's scattered hair Tusi.

There is evidence that Ran Tianyu is colluding with Yongshun and Baojing in Huguang and the Bai family of his mother's family in Qianbei, preparing to take advantage of the chaos of the situation to destroy several small Tusi of the Yang family.

Yang Xiufu also implored the Shu Wangfu and the Sichuan government to send special envoys to Yimei Tusi to wait for the Yang Tusi to go, and it was better to bring another copy of the decree of the prince to affirm the Yang family's hereditary rule over the ancestral land.

In return, Yang Xiufu expressed his willingness to join the great cause of protecting the country and the people on behalf of the Yang family toasts such as Yimei, Pingcha, Shiye, and Diba Tusi. The Yang Tusi land is barren and the people are poor, and there is no silver and food, but there are many local people who can fight. How many soldiers did the Ran clan give, and how many soldiers did the Yang clan give, and only a lot more. In addition, Yang Xiufu is also willing to pay tribute to the local specialty tung oil of Tusi to win the support of the Shu Palace.

At this time, I am afraid that Li Chongwen has already understood that he accidentally fell into a generational vendetta between the toasts. Li Chongwen said that he wanted to report it, but did not reply to Yang Xiufu for the time being. However, in order to find out the truth of several companies, Li Chongwen arranged for accompanying intelligence personnel to conduct a secret visit to Ran Yang Er's family in the name of market inspection.

Regarding the displaced people, Li Chongwen reported that the South Road Displaced People's Brigade had passed Shizhouwei, entered the boundary of Wanxian and Shiyan, and would soon reach Zhongzhou; After a large number of displaced people from the North Road passed through the four counties of Fengjie, Dachang, Daning, and Yunyang in Kuizhou, the follow-up brigade had passed through Wanxian County and approached Liangshan.

Li Chongwen has instructed Dazhu, Linshui, Quxian, Dazhou and other places to make preparations for acceptance. But there were still small groups of local thugs blocking the road and looting on the road, making Wei Chen in Kuizhou and Feng Ruhu in Dazhou invincible.

Li Chongwen also said that since the promulgation of the regulations on land reclamation, the trend of land grabbing in eastern Sichuan has intensified.

If you grab the land, you have to recruit people to cultivate it. TAN YI (YI), THE GARRISON OF WANXIAN COUNTY, USED FIELD GRAIN AS BAIT AND SECRETLY ABDUCTED MORE THAN 2,000 HOMELESS PEOPLE, INCLUDING HUNDREDS OF ELITE PEOPLE. In addition, many displaced people were lured away by the local gentry. According to the reports of the teams, he estimated that the loss of the population in Sichuan should be more than 20,000.

Li Chongwen suggested that Zhu Pingjin should immediately respond to the displaced people with an army to prevent the disorderly loss of the population, and at the same time deter the officials, soldiers, and gentry in eastern Sichuan.

Li Chongwen also suggested that the primary resettlement areas for the displaced people should be placed in the middle and lower reaches of the Qujiang, Jialing, and Fujiang rivers, which were already under the complete control of the Shu Wangfu. The middle and lower reaches of the Sanjiang River have a vast area, fertile water and soil, scattered population, clear property rights, and sound Wangzhuang, which is an excellent and ideal place for the implementation of large-scale agricultural overall development.

He estimates that after one to three years of reclamation, at least two Dujiangyan irrigation areas can be added to the middle and lower reaches of the Sanjiang River. The total area of cultivated land has reached 7 million mu, and the total grain output has reached 14 million stone per year.

……

Li Chongwen's report on the issue of displaced people touched on a key point, that is, all plans and implementations must be guaranteed and backed by reliable military forces.

The large number of refugees has aroused the covetousness of some local forces.

Zhu Pingjin is not worried that local forces will raise the flag to rebel, but he is worried that the tail will not fall.

After thinking about it for a moment, he ordered the eunuch to record and let the Military Aircraft Department draw up an order to order the first regiment stationed in Hezhou, Yongchuan, and Baxian Jiangbei to move to Wanxian; The 12th Regiment, which was stationed in the vicinity of Dazhu and Dazhou, moved to Yangsan.

The two regiments were deployed one by one along the main road of the displaced people into Sichuan, escorting the displaced people with arms on the one hand, and recruiting elite soldiers from the displaced people on the spot.

In addition, Zhu Pingjin demanded that the Military Aircraft Department come up with a plan for the integration of the eastern Sichuan military as soon as possible. Once finalized, it will be implemented immediately. Fight fast and slow, press more and less, and be prepared for the unprepared.

Zhu Pingjin smiled and said to his wife, even if Tan Yi occupies the Tiansheng City of Wanxian County (Note 3), there is a way to scare him into going down the mountain obediently.

After Zhu Pingjin finished deploying the army, his wife began to talk about her ideas for agricultural development.

Luo Yuhong said that in order to reduce the losses of the displaced people, Tan Fang suggested that the displaced people be forced to sell themselves into slavery, which she thought was inappropriate.

A large number of wage workers who can move freely is the key to achieving a rational allocation of human resources. Therefore, the revitalization of agriculture in Sichuan should be like industry and commerce, and gradually realize free employment.

Now that the National Security Fund is the parent company, the Sichuan Reclamation Bureau, a semi-royal and semi-official organization, should be reorganized into an agricultural reclamation company and become an independent market entity.

The farmer

The reclamation company uses the land occupied by the Central Sichuan Province injected by the National Security Foundation as the capital, and implements the overall development of blocks and contiguous areas in different regions, focusing on the middle and lower reaches of the Sanjiang River proposed by Li Chongwen and Shuzhong. This can not only speed up the reclamation of land and the resettlement of displaced people, but also prevent the business model of agricultural reclamation companies from disrupting western Sichuan and Luzhou Wangzhuang, causing unnecessary fluctuations in people's hearts, especially the criticism of the cadre team.

Luo Yuhong's suggestion is a concrete manifestation of her idea of agricultural industrialization, farm enterprise, and peasant workers, that is, the "new three rural doctrines". Zhu Pingjin also thought about it during this time and thought that his wife's idea was indeed meritorious.

The main difference between the agricultural company under the new agriculture doctrine and the new countryside of Luzhou is the identity of the members and the positioning of the organization.

Luzhou protects the country and the people in the new countryside, and is an organization that manages its members from head to toe. It is both a huge economic organization and a tightly knit social organization.

An agricultural company is a pure enterprise. It has no other demands than to earn money and produce food.

The households in the new countryside of Luzhou to protect the country and the people have a strict identity definition. It is not easy for people to enter or get out.

An employee in an agricultural company is a salaried long-term worker. They are employees at work and independent social beings when they get off work. Therefore, it is necessary to have a set of governing institutions independent of the enterprise to ensure the order and stability of the social order, such as the government.

It is her wife's consistent idea to completely overthrow Wang's enterprise, which integrates government and enterprises, and fully realize a free market economy. If it weren't for Zhu Pingjin's forced reservation of a few pieces of self-reserved land for the needs of the war, even the Firearms Bureau and other military enterprises would have been eager to compete freely in the market. The highly centralized model of Luzhou Wangzhuang is not a pat on the head, but a hundred thousand hungry bellies.

Looking at Luo Yuhong's expectant eyes, Zhu Pingjin knew that he had to make an appropriate compromise this time, otherwise it would further damage the relationship between husband and wife.

However, it is not Zhu Pingjin's character to bend the knee to a woman, and it is not entirely acceptable to express consent.

For example, the abolition of the Sichuan Reclamation Bureau, Zhu Pingjin made it clear that he was against it.

He believes that the Sichuan Reclamation Bureau is basically positioned as an official organization, which is responsible for formulating policies, drawing directions, and setting rules. The agricultural company is an economic organization with the goal of making a profit, and it is better to build it completely than to reorganize it from the Bureau of Reclamation. Li Chongwen concurrently serves as the general manager, and Cao Sanbao concurrently serves as the deputy general manager.

Both of them have rich experience in the management of Wangzhuang, one is the vice premier of the Shu Palace, in charge of agriculture; One is the chief eunuch of the Shu Palace, and he is also the minister of military aircraft. The two of them came forward, at least in Sichuan, there is nothing that cannot be coordinated. Didn't you Luo Moumou always accuse Wang You, the government and the enterprise of not separating Wang Jinmin from retreating, why did he go back on his word when things came to an end?

Zhu Pingjin really had a cheap mouth, and as soon as he said it, it immediately sparked controversy.

With the lessons of the past, this time Luo Yuhong learned to be obedient. Instead of fighting back head-on, she opted for a flank sneak attack.

For example, regarding the name of the enterprise, she proposed that since there is a Wang Taoist priest with the motto of "Tianpeng Gai Zhenwu", then this agricultural company should be named "Tianpeng Agriculture XX Company", which has both a trade name and an industry.

Zhu Pingjin understands that this is a pit dug for him by his wife, of course he doesn't do it, who wants to work in the pig's head company? The two argued for a long time, and finally got hungry, compromised with each other, and named it "Seven Star Agricultural XX Company (Note 4)" according to the meaning of "Big Dipper, headed by the canopy".

It was getting late, and the twilight was getting thicker.

Recently, it was rare for the two to eat together, so they decided to have a drink in public to show the harmony of yin and yang among the ministers. Eating is also about politics!

Of course, eating is never just about eating. Zhu Pingjin was ready to mention his idea of sitting in Chongqing again at the dinner table.

Chongqing, an important and familiar city, has not been to it in this life, and it is a pity anyway. Chongqing is adjacent to the river and water, and the hub is east of Sichuan. Once the Protector Army moves east to Jingchu, Chongqing is the most suitable starting base.

As for Chengdu, the Internet celebrity city that his wife likes, leave it to her to play.

Just when the two of them were looking forward to a better tomorrow together, Zuo Tong, the eunuch, led several ministers of military aircraft to perform the work. Seeing the frustration and panic on their faces, Zhu Pingjin and his wife suddenly dropped their chopsticks.

Sure enough, bad news came from Chengdu Mansion:

The stock market crashed.

There was a run on the banknotes.

The thieves in the two states of Qiongmei are in chaos.

The students of the provincial capital took to the streets.

The last point is even more important, Zhang Xianzhong, who had just been beaten into the Yinghuo Mountains by Huang Degong, was going down the mountain again.

Note 1: Pengzhou copper mine, excavated at the beginning of this dynasty, Mr. Zhu had visited in person, and now the resources have been exhausted. From this place, continue to go deeper along the mountain road, and there is Yinchanggou, which is famous for its silver mines. Yinchanggou later developed into a summer tourist resort for Chengdu people, but unfortunately it was completely destroyed at 512 hours. Fortunately, it is 512, and if it is 612 or 712, the casualty figure will be at least 50%. Because it was the peak season for tourism and vacation, the houses and hotels inside and outside the ditch would be full.

Note 2: The jurisdiction of the four Tusi of Yimei, Pingcha, Shiye, and Diba is roughly in the area of Xiushan County, Chongqing City, today, and borders the three Xuanwei Divisions of Yongshun, Baojing, and Rongmei in Huguang.

Note 3: Wanxian Tiansheng City, a military fortress on the edge of Wanxian County. The cliff is ten thousand, and it is impossible to open it.

Note 4: Book lovers who are familiar with the economic history of the Republic of China should understand what Seven Star Company is.
