Chapter 350: Chain Reaction

Jiang Feng never thought of what kind of changes an heir, especially a male direct blood relative, would bring to a force like him.

In the past, when Jiang Feng led the troops to fight, whether it was Zhao Xiucai or Liu Twelve, they advised him, the son of a daughter, to sit down. Jiang Daren is the net worth of millions of soldiers and civilians in Huazhou, and he can't act rashly, etc., although Jiang Feng has his own insistence, he is often very depressed.

He knew that the words of his subordinates were all for his good, and the current development of this "Huazhou" was basically his own credit, from the boss of Huifeng Lou in the capital and the street patrol school of Jinyiwei, from no money to rich, to rich, from a pawn who did not enter the stream to a big member of the party.

Now it is an independent overseas actual separation, an incomparably powerful fleet, a steady stream of money in and out, all of which he has made by himself, if he leaves Jiang Feng, the people below will be at a loss, or they will disappear, or a few mountains will be lined up.

Jiang Feng's character is not the kind of person who can be idle, if he is allowed to stay at home all day, accompany his wife and children, and then train the army and carry out infrastructure construction, it will really suffocate to death, he still likes to fight and open up outside, but his requirements are persuaded and vetoed by everyone. Always use the reason that the current Huazhou can't leave your adult. However, this time the situation was different, after Jiang Zhengxi's first birthday, Jiang Feng summoned his subordinates and said that he was going to go to the reclamation manor outside the gate to have a look.

Surprisingly, although there were also people who opposed it this time, everyone's attitude was not so resolute, and after Jiang Feng persevered for a while, his subordinates began to make arrangements according to what Jiang Feng said.

Jiang Feng stayed in Liu Fangrui's room at night, Su Guanyue had a son, and her sister Su Guanxue was also married to Jiang Feng, and her status in Jiang Mansion became higher and higher, Liu Fangrui's father Liu Shunhua was in charge of Huazhou's civil affairs, which was balanced, but seeing that the sisters who got along day and night were already pregnant with children, but they still didn't move, Liu Fangrui's heart was not comfortable, and the relationship with the Su family sisters was good, and she couldn't lose her temper, Xia Cuiyu knew how to be a man, and she also had the Xia family in Yizhou as a backing.

Recently, Liu Fangrui's little temper has been used with Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng is not good at doing anything, he can only be comforted by warm words, and there are more when he is in Liu Fangrui's room, today he is calling everyone to explain that he wants to go out, and the change in the attitude of his subordinates makes Jiang Feng very strange, and then Liu Fangrui also said this matter, Liu Fangrui's face was a little reluctant, and it attracted Jiang Feng's interest, and asked the following, Liu Fangrui said the reason:

"In the past, there was only one husband in the backbone of Huazhou, so naturally there could be no mistakes, but now that Zhengxi is here, everyone can support the husband's blood and blood......"

That is, Liu Fangrui's personality is more direct, so he said this is not too auspicious, after Jiang Feng heard it, his face showed a rather helpless wry smile, Liu Fangrui saw Jiang Feng's smile, and couldn't help but snort coldly there, but this time Jiang Feng understood, opened his arms and hugged Liu Fangrui, and whispered in the girl's ear:

"Don't worry, you can have a few more!"

The room is full of spring, and there is nothing to say all night.

The flow of displaced people in the winter of the sixteenth year of Jiajing lasted until the summer of the seventeenth year of Jiajing, and the guards in various places were in strict formation, but under the impetus of the Jingshi merchant group, although small-scale chaos occasionally broke out, they were all suppressed by the group training organized by the Jingshi merchant group.

The epidemic did not appear after the disaster, because many displaced people died on the roads, and more displaced people came to the customs and died in the severe cold, although the food and silver for disaster relief were extremely scarce, but the population of the disaster area has been greatly reduced, so the disaster area has also stabilized.

With such a catastrophe, there was no chaos, and there was nothing to disturb the displaced people in various places, Emperor Jiajing, who was in the capital division, breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably, thinking that it was so simple to pass this pass?

The estates outside the Guanxi have obtained a large number of stable and mature laborers, the handicraft workshops in Jiangnan have obtained a large number of craftsmen, and the local officials have not lost their official positions because of the relief of grain, which seems to be a very happy thing.

The pie will not fall from the sky so easily, and after the flood has passed smoothly, the officials have found that the number of dingkou under their rule has been greatly reduced.

People-oriented, all kinds of taxes, forced labor, in the final analysis, must be completed by people, the main point of the local assessment of officials is whether the tax can be completed, the object of tax collection is the ordinary people in the prefecture and county, after recovering from the war in the early Ming Dynasty, although the large and small famines continue, but Dingkou has been increasing.

For thousands of years, except for the change of dynasties, the Chinese have never considered the problem of insufficient population and labor, but there are too many people and not enough fields to plant.

After the officials found out about this, they racked their brains and could not collect a penny more, in fact, the landlords and gentry who did not leave had money in their hands, and the fields were greatly expanded, and during the floods, the commoners sold the fields very cheaply in exchange for a little rations.

These landlords and gentry were not tax payers at all, and the officials relied on each other, tax exemption or various reasons, and all localities reported to the top, and the top reported to the court. All the documents have a reason on it: "After the catastrophe, the number of Ding Kou has decreased sharply, and the people are not happy, please reduce taxes from the imperial court!" ”。

After Emperor Jiajing saw these twists and turns, his face turned pale, last year's Jiangnan handicraft workshop and the reclamation manor outside the Guanxi tax collection policy was blocked by the central government and hundreds of officials, if the provincial taxes cannot be collected this year, I am afraid that the military salary will be in arrears, this is much more terrifying than the catastrophe.

The objects who receive the military salary are the basis for maintaining the existence of this country, if these people's hearts are fluctuating, then the Ming court will be unstable, and the news from the border may cost a lot of money in the future

The victory of the Tatan Mongol Cha Khan in the eastern steppe, according to the words of the civil officials, was an immortal achievement, and he chased the Chengzu Zhu Di of the Northern Expedition, but the Mongol forces on the steppe were divided into two groups at that time, one was the Tatar Department in the east, which was claimed to be the orthodoxy of Mongolia, and the descendant of Genghis Khan, Cha Khan, was in charge.

Western Mongolia is in the Yingzong and Jingtai years to make the big tomorrow to make chickens, flying dogs and jumping of the tile spur department, tile thorn and Tatartan in the grassland at the same time, in general, is incompatible, mutual constraints, no one can completely control the grassland, now Tatar has been defeated, a large number of Dingkou was plundered to the reclamation manor.

The remaining small tribes and remnants of the army have defected to the Tile Thorn, and the power of the Tile Thorn has swelled again, because of the destruction of the Tatartan, the current grassland is already the situation of his family, and the current leader of the Tile Thorn Tribe, Bandi, calls himself the Great Khan, with 150,000 troops.

Although 150,000 is boasting, the Nine-Sided Army still has its own actual estimate, it should be about 60,000 cavalry, such a force is completely concentrated in the hands of a Mongolian force, which represents only one thing, and a large number of Mongolian cavalry will go south to plunder.

Gansu, Shaanxi, Shaanxi several military towns are already in a state of emergency, several general soldiers no longer withhold the salary, the silver is all sent down, where such a situation is encountered, everyone knows that the war is about to begin, and now each of the requests to the imperial court to allocate grain, grass and military funds, last year's disaster is not only a great damage to the people, for the same is the cultivation of the land of the military household guards, the same is a painful loss.

Emperor Jiajing calculated the silver taels in the inner treasury, and knew in his heart that if he didn't open up new sources of wealth, he was afraid that there would really be a big problem.

But things have not changed much compared to last year, Emperor Jiajing's intention has just been drafted to the celebrant supervisor, and the next day, some people in the court began to quote scriptures and say that there is no question of competing with the people, and these words began with some trivial things, such as the prefect of a certain place wants to collect taxes from the fields of scholars and the handicraft workshops run by the gentry, and those who jump out to speak are also some petty officials such as some low-grade imperial historians or Liubu Langguan.

Emperor Jiajing didn't say much this time, during the court meeting, the cabinet scholars and the senior officials of the six ministries were all old gods standing on both sides, not saying a word, only a few low-grade officials were there to talk about what kind of sage righteousness, Emperor Jiajing was not a teenager who was thunderous and the ministers in the big gift case back then, listening to the words below, he even had a kind smile on his face, and nodded again and again.

It was a very quiet court meeting, and the next thing was relatively simple, it was still a convention, and a few Qingliu officials still came out and said a few words according to the previous rules, persuading the emperor not to be intoxicated with Fang Shi Taoism, and the Ming Dynasty still had to follow the teachings of the sages, etc., no one noticed the cold light in the emperor's eyes.

These people didn't know what Emperor Jiajing said to himself at night:

"Is it possible that tomorrow will die at my hands like this?"

In the next three days, the emperor prayed in the palace for the blessing of the three Qings, and no longer caused disasters in the world, and the government and the opposition were in an uproar, all of them thought that the emperor was absurd, and some of the fierce rhetoric had already compared Jiajing and Zhengde.

The emperor is still doing his own thing, and he also issued an order to summon Hu Zongren, the prefect of Xi'an, to enter Beijing, Hu Zongren is the personal entourage of Emperor Jiajing in Xingxian Palace, has always been quite close, the reputation is very bad, legend, Emperor Jiajing's superstitious Taoism and he is inseparable, but summoning courtiers This kind of thing, the emperor can only do it with him.

At the beginning, when I saw the displaced people passing through their hometowns, the local officials and the army could be described as scattered, but after a month, I found that these displaced people were just walking quietly towards the north, and gradually everyone became numb and no longer cared.

Therefore, there were more people in the refugees who were strong and good-looking, and no one paid attention to them, and Jiang Feng, who had two thousand soldiers, was mixed in the crowd.

The reason why the displaced people moved so quietly outside the border this time was because the Jingshi merchant group did not hesitate to organize a large amount of grain to supply the displaced people, and these laborers were so rare that everyone not only used the reserves, but also transferred silver from the profits of previous years to fill it.

There was also a rather strange situation, the people of the Jingshi merchant group spent money to buy grain from the grain merchants in the south, and the iron egg of the Jiang family's military system was also a large-scale manor outside the Guan, so it was not surprising that they appeared when they recruited displaced people this time, so Jiang Feng and the thousands of people he brought with him were often followed by a large number of carriages.

When Jiang Feng left the customs, it was already the early summer of the seventeenth year, and outside the Shanhai Pass, which is now the area of the three northeastern provinces, it had already been developed by reclamation manors, but many places still maintained their natural style, and it was not hard to walk along the way, Jiang Feng and the soldiers had a feeling of outing.

The road outside the customs was built by everyone, because large trucks are often needed to transport various materials, so the construction of this road is much better than the official road in the customs area.

According to Jiang Feng's orders, Tiedan's manor was built in the northernmost place, in fact, until last year, people could not be seen at the half-day distance of Tiedan's manor, and in Tiedan's manor, the use of slaves is the least, and most of the thousands of people in the manor are tenants who rent land.

The fertile black soil and low rent, the provision of farm tools and horses, attracted a large number of yeoman farmers to come and rent the seeds, which was much more cost-effective than farming by themselves, but there were various terms and regulations for farming in the iron egg farm, such as regular labor and the establishment of militia groups.

The farmers who came here pondered that these things were also for their own good, there was no free lunch in the world, and many farmers would only be treated as slaves in other reclamation estates, that is, life was better than death.

Of course, they will not be treated as slaves in the manor of the Iron Egg, but the relationship of personal attachment will be strengthened, and the style of this manor is similar to that of the Korean civil guards, but no one knows.

When Jiang Feng and his soldiers came here, they were still shocked once, a large number of houses, the people in the manor must not be able to live in these houses, obviously they had planned in advance.

The steady stream of displaced people finally exceeded the carrying capacity of the reclamation manor, and the Jingshi merchant group was so actively recruited because of the shortage of labor over the years, which was too much, and the number of displaced people this time was obviously greatly unexpected by these manors.

Fortunately, the number of displaced people has been greatly reduced, but those who have not been contained outside the customs will definitely not be able to go back, without rations and supplies, they will definitely die on the road. The reclamation manor has reached its limit.

Finally, the reclamation manor jointly issued a proclamation, and those who entered the manor without permission would be killed.

Iron Egg's Reclamation Manor did not join the alliance, and continued to contain the homeless......
