"The lower officials and others welcome the angels, the pavilion has been prepared, please ask the three angels to move and rest......"

Outside the Nanpi New Town, where Cangzhou Xinzhou is located, on the official road next to the official pavilion, a group of local officials in Cangzhou with neat robes and gowns, plus a general judge Wang Huang who wandered from Tianjin Mansion, were greeting the three canonized envoys who got off the carriage. On this occasion, Ji Yi, Wu Haowen, and Yang Jian all wore official uniforms. Especially Ji Yi and Wu Haowen, two well-known civil officials, both had a graceful bearing, and nodded slightly to everyone who came to greet them.

This Nanpi New City is no stranger to Wu Haowen, and he presided over the construction of it when he was the envoy of Hailu City and the governor of Cangzhou. At that time, it was a very promising project in all aspects, and the commercial market outside the county seat (which is also the new county seat of Nanpi) sold a lot of land that could be used to build buildings. But it happened to encounter a war, and as a result, there were a lot of unfinished buildings, which made people sigh when they looked at it.

The walls of Nanpi New Town are different from when Wu Haowen left. The rammed earth wall was covered with red bricks, and the horse face and the tiger were repaired, and the ditch was widened and deepened. It is estimated that it took a lot of people in Cangzhou to ointment...... Speaking of which, it's all Wu Haogu's fault!

Wu Haowen took his gaze back from Cangzhou City, and then said to Wang Boyan, the governor of Cangzhou, who came to greet him: "Brother Yanjun, Brother Yi and Yang Daguan have been tired all the way, and I want to rest early." ”

"The pavilion has been prepared, and the banquet for the three angels has also been prepared."

Wang Boyan is a forty-year-old uncle, much older than Wu Haowen. However, he was relatively late in Jinshi, and he only reached high school in the third year of the establishment of Yasukuni. Therefore, his qualifications in the officialdom are shallower than those of Wu Haowen, and his official fortune is even worse. Last time, when Wu Haowen was the governor of Cangzhou, he was a general judge in Cangzhou. After Wu Haowen left, it was not his turn to turn positive. But it happened that the Liao State entered the country, and no one wanted to go to Cangzhou to be an official, so he asked Wang Boyanquan to send state affairs.

"Brother Jiangming, Zhang Xuan, the two of you will also come together." Wu Haowen then named Wang Huang and Daniel Zhang, the commander of Cangzhou Terracotta and Horses, and summoned them together to the pavilion in Nanpi City.

……

"Brother Jiangming, Zhang Xuan, what is the situation in Tianjin Mansion? What's my big brother up to? ”

The pavilion post in Nanpi City is also newly built, not only the houses are new and beautiful, but even the staffing of the pavilion post is very sufficient, with a post man, fifteen or sixteen post houses. When Ji Yi, Wu Haowen and others arrived, they had already cleaned up and prepared a clean room for banquets and conversations. The official who accompanied the wine was not prepared, what kind of officials are Ji Yi and Wu Haowen? Ordinary rouge vulgar fans can't look down on it at all, and the housework they bring is stunning. As for Yang Jian, he is a lascivious eunuch, and he is upset when he looks at those rouge vulgar fans.

In the clean room of the conversation, after the tea was served, Wu Haowen asked about Wu Haogu's recent situation.

Hearing Wu Haowen's question, Wang Hao pondered for a while, and replied respectfully: "Wu Jieshuai has been busy presiding over the division of land in Wuqing County and Yanshan Mansion in Tianjin Mansion these days. ”

"What? Divide the field and divide the land? Ji Yi was stunned, "Who do you give it to?" ”

"Distribute it to the soldiers who follow him," replied the military attache in his fifties named Daniel Zhang, "the knights are all 1,500 acres of granges, the infantry are given 200 acres, the auxiliary soldiers who are willing to stay can be promoted to the regular soldiers after training, and the family members are also given 100 acres before being promoted to the regular soldiers." In addition, officers at all levels have additional jobs to be awarded, and the most is said to have received 100,000 acres! ”

"Gave so much?" Wu Haowen was taken aback, "How much land can be granted in Yandi?" ”

"There is still a Yizhou in Yandi in the hands of the Khitans, and the rest is eight states and one prefecture, of which eight states have been divided, and Wu Jieshuai only left the land that originally belonged to Xijin Mansion." Daniel Zhang, who has been a military attache in Hebei for generations, knows the situation in Yandi very well, "It is estimated that there are always 15 million to 20 million mu, right?" ”

Although Yandi has a land in Kyushu, the area of this province is particularly large, including Wuqing County, which is now assigned to Tianjin Prefecture, and 2,000 acres of cultivated land and pasture land are stable.

"Then there aren't many knights and soldiers to separate?" Yang Jian asked, "The land of the knights and soldiers is not taxed, and it is all divided, what does he, the king of Beiping, eat?" ”

Ji Yi laughed, "He must have heard that the imperial court was going to push favors, so he made the first move and divided all the land in his hands to invite people to buy people's hearts."

As for him, the king of Beiping, hehe, aren't there two cash cows of Tianjin City and Hailu City? ”

Yang Jian said with a smile: "The official family has already given Ji Longtu (Ji Yi is a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion) to Ji Longtu, and now there is only one Tianjin City left!" It seems that the king of Beiping is going to lift a stone to hit his feet this time. ”

"It's not that easy!" Ji Yi shook his head, "Among the six cities of Jiehe, Jingdong, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Sriwijaya, the most profitable is the Sriwijaya City!"

It's a land of transformation, and there's no royal law......"

The only one who can make a character like Ji Yi excited! Because Jiehe City Bosi controls the four businesses that make a lot of money, namely the transportation of grain from the north to the south, the transportation of wood from the north, the purchase of imperial medicine and the purchase of imperial horses, it only has a surplus of two or three million a year. And Sriwijaya City Bosi can easily scrape twice as much money! Therefore, as long as Wu Haogu controls the Srivijaya City Bosi in his hands, he will not worry about running out of money.

Wu Haowen asked: "So speaking of which, the key to controlling the Yanshan Domain is the Three Buddhas City Bosi?" Can you take it? ”

Ji Yi smiled, "You can always take it down, but it takes a little effort!" ”

It took a little effort, or a lot of effort, Ji Yi didn't have a bottom in his heart. But he believed that his means could still take down Sriwijaya City.

After all, the Three Buddhas City is too far away from Yandi, and it is beyond the reach of Wu Haogu.

Although Wu Haogu controls a large navy in his hands, the foundation of the navy is, after all, the Haizhou Naval Academy, not the Tianjin Knight Academy.

Moreover, the Ji family also has a share in the fleet of the Hailu City Shipping Division, and also has a lot of influence in the Sriwijaya City Shipping Division. You can still compete with Wu Haogu!

Besides, Wu Haogu is now under the enemy's back, and he has to face the pressure of the Khitan and the Great Song Dynasty at the same time, where is the spare strength to develop the navy? The navy is a gold-eating beast!

To maintain a 7,000-stone warship, the personnel cost alone will cost tens of thousands of dollars a year. Maintain the size of a fleet of a hundred ships, and there will be no millions.

Wu Haogu was able to firmly control only one Jiehe City Division, how could it be possible to maintain such a large-scale navy?

It's simply impossible!

However, Ji Yi will not be stupid enough to go to war with Wu Haogu, this kind of thing, exert a little pressure, and then carry out some private transactions, such as letting Wu Haogu continue to profit from the "northern grain to the south, northern wood to the south, imperial medicine and imperial horse purchase" and so on......

……

"Xiao Di thank the king for giving the field, the king is kind, Xiao Di should die to repay!"

Another foot soldier of the Wuhao Gu Department who took the shit luck did a grateful form and took over the title deed of 200 acres of dry land in Yutian County from the hands of Wu Haogu.

In fact, the dry land of 200 acres of swallow land can't harvest much, and it can kill 400 stone wheat, maybe a little vegetables, and raise something. After removing the cost, there may not be a profit of 100 taels a year, which is still on the basis of tax exemption.

But profit is one thing, and eating and drinking an old snack is another. Just 400 stone wheat is more than 20,000 kilograms! You can't eat it all, and it's enough to raise all kinds of animals and slaughter and eat meat. This day is really heaven for ordinary farmers.

"Nanpi Zhang Erdan!" Wu Haogu smiled and said to the black and thick crossbowman in front of him, "These 200 acres of land are your professional fields, and they cannot be divided into sons to inherit, only one son can inherit all the land." And the heirs will also serve in the same way as you, you know? ”

"Got it, little bottom knows!" Zhang Erdan had tears in his eyes and said loudly, "The king is the benevolent father of Xiaodi, and the children and grandchildren of Xiaodi are all fighting for the king's family!" ”

Whether it is a grange granted to a knight or a farm granted to an infantryman, it is a professional field of nature, and it cannot be bought or sold, but it can be inherited, but it cannot be inherited by disinheritance, and the heirs must fulfill the corresponding obligations.

However, the larger piece of the officer's field is allowed to be inherited by the division of property. However, the smallest yield is 1,500 acres. That is, a knight's estate. The heir is also obliged to act as a knight.

In addition, in addition to their own service, middle and high-ranking officers who have received more land grants must also fulfill the "knightly duty" (at most two-thirds, and at least one-third of the land must be knighted), that is, let the children of the clan serve as knights or be admitted to knights' primary schools and knight academies.

"Next!"

Zhang Erdan took the title deed and went happily, from now on, he broke away from the ranks of poor middle peasants and officially became a feudal landlord soldier.

And the land that Wu Haogu wants to personally grant today, there are still as many as 20,000 acres!

On the issue of granting land, he is very close. Because this work is so important, only if it is done well, his army can truly become a solid war machine.

Of course, the grant is just the beginning. After the field is granted, there is a roadmap for military merit upgrading waiting for everyone to go!

According to the "military merit" system designed by Zhao Jiaren for Wu Haogu, there is no such thing as land buying and selling in Yandi Village now. If you want farmland and pasture, you can only fight as a soldier!

No matter how big the capitalist is, he can only buy a house and buy white land in such commercial cities as Tianjin and Yanshan (the Yanshan Commercial Market that will soon be established, that is, in and around the city of Xijinfu). If you want to be a big landlord, you have to join the army, and you have to make meritorious contributions.

However, the land of Yandi is limited, and this wave has almost been granted. Therefore, if everyone wants to get more land, the only way to do so is to wage war against foreign countries......
