Chahar Khan pondered for a while, still felt that he had suffered a loss, the official grain price of the Ming State was five dollars of silver and one stone of rice, but this is already the old emperor's calendar, the price of rice in Datong and Xuanfu usually fluctuates up and down in one or two per stone, and in the event of famine and war, the price of grain is surprisingly high, for example, after the beginning of spring this year, the price of grain will break through three taels of stone rice.

"Okay, Ben Khan is up to you, but Fengzhou used to give me 2,000 stone grain every year, and I still have to pay it in the future." Chahar Khan said to Li Yu.

"That's it, I'll send food and military tickets before winter." Li Yuyi gritted his teeth and replied.

When the deal was negotiated, Chahar Khan waved his hand and motioned for the ministers to withdraw, but left Li Yu alone, and the servants then brought wine and barbecue, and the two talked while eating.

"Li Yucha, don't blame me, this Khan is really difficult," Chahar Khan stared at Li Yu with his eyes and continued, "You know what? Some of the ministers persuaded me to detain you, and some even tried to kill you. ”

Li Yu continued to eat quietly, Chahar Khan took a bite of the leg of mutton and said: "Ben Khan is not so stupid, he will never listen to them, you are Ben Khan's most trusted brother-in-law, the people of Jin Guo are coming, everyone else is likely to surrender, only you will fight with Ben Khan, I will tell you a news, the Mongolian tribes of the Xilamulun River received the Khan of the Jin State, gathered their young men and women to go to the Daling River, the Jin Khan is going to attack the Ming State, after cleaning up the Ming army of the Daling River, the next one must be us, Li Yucha, we have to strike first, When the Jin and Ming fights, you will lead your troops and Ben Khan to fight against the Xilamulun River. ”

Li Yu was shocked, Sibeile was so fast, the Ming army of Dalinghe was more than lucky, he replied in thought: "The strength of the Jin army is too strong, and Fengzhou is burdened with more than 100,000 people, I am afraid that I will not be able to send troops in a short time." ”

"We don't fight with the Jin army, when the Jin army comes, we will run, Qingzhuang is gone, this is the weakest time for the Xilamulun River tribes, we will snatch back their population and livestock, and let those Mongol rebels die," Chahar Khan was very confident in dealing with the rebellion of his own clan, and said impatiently to Li Yu, "What are you hesitating about, your Fengzhou strength is too strong, Jin Khan will never let you go, he will burn your Tumut River, kill your people, and capture the living to Liaodong as slaves, you are the same as Ben Khan, there is no way to retreat." ”

There is indeed no way out, there will be 200,000 people in Fengzhou, becoming the largest force on the grassland in one fell swoop, and it has also become the biggest obstacle to the conquest of the grassland by the Jin State, Sibeile can only choose to destroy and dismember Fengzhou, and the war between Fengzhou and the Jin State cannot be avoided, Li Yu thought bitterly, and said with a long breath: "Call me when the Great Khan sends out the army." ”

Chahar Khan smiled and asked the slave to call Sutai and Wulangha mother and son, and after a while, the ten-year-old Kongguoer came in with a one-year-old Ada Hai on his back, and Sutai and Wulangha followed behind them, constantly shouting to Konggol to be careful.

"Great Khan, I want to take Ada Hai home." Looking at the giggling Ada Hai, Li Yu said the words that had been holding in his heart, and Wu Langha immediately cast an expectant look at his brother.

Chahar Khan's face was very ugly, and after being silent for a while, he asked his son: "Kongor, my brother-in-law wants to take Adahai away, are you willing?" ”

"I don't let my brother go, I want my brother to play with me." Kong Guoer opened his mouth and began to cry, Adahai didn't know what was happening, and when he saw his brother crying, he also howled.

"Li Yucha, Kong Guoer has always wanted a younger brother, he is too lonely, you just leave Ada Hai here with Ben Khan, Ben Khan can treat Ada Hai as his own son, you go and ask Wu Langha, is Ben Khan not good to Ada Hai?" Chahar Khan pointed at Wu Langha confidently and said, Li Yu and the two had nothing to say, Chahar Khan laughed, "Li Yucha, Ben Khan dares to swear to the sky, regard Ada Hai as his own son, and never let him suffer the slightest grievance, you can also regard Kong Guoer as a parent and son, we will swear now." ”

Before Li Yu could react, he was pulled out of the tent by Chahar Khan, so he had to follow him and swear to the sky that he must regard the other party's son as a parent.

What's wrong with this guy today, it doesn't matter if you rob my son, and you still stuff your own son into me, don't you set me up again-Li Yu was surprised by Chahar Khan's actions.

Li Yu stayed in Jinlianchuan for three days, Yun Rong and Chahar still have some details to discuss, Chahar people are afraid that Li Yu will turn his face and not recognize people, and pit them with piles of banknotes, Yun Rong is not willing to spend money in vain, and tries to tie the other party firmly here, so as to block the momentum of Jin expansion for Fengzhou, after the two sides bargained and negotiated, they also held an oath by the lightning river.

Li Yu takes advantage of his free time to play with his son every day, little Li Meng can already walk, he likes to run around, the little guy looks very strong, and the little fist is quite vigorous, Li Yu feels that he may be like this when he was a child, compared to Xiao Li Jin is much more elegant. When leaving Jinlianchuan, Wu Langha hugged Xiao Li Meng and cried for a long time, and repeatedly asked Sutai Hatun to take care of his son, and Li Yu was so sad that he wanted to cry.

The Flying Tiger Battalion galloped all the way south, out of the territory of the Chahar people, and met the cavalry of the East Sentinel of Fengzhou that received them - this time the elite of the East Outpost almost poured out, Liu Xingzuo, Mandahai, Terrig, Asari, and Haishan all came, and they were relieved to see Li Yu return safely, Li Yu briefly introduced the journey to everyone, and then ordered Liu Xingzuo to stay in the East Outpost and immediately began to prepare for the construction of Xinghewei, and Terrig returned to Manhan Mountain with him to take up the military affairs of the General Soldier's Mansion.

Manhan Mountain, into the middle of August, the whole Fengzhou into the harvest season, this year is the first year of the restructuring, the land is distributed to each household, the farmer self-reported the land harvest, after the public approval of the hundred households, thousands of households so this is levied according to a field endowment, the surplus grain belongs to each family, the farmers have benefits, the enthusiasm is unprecedentedly high, even with the Mongolian herdsmen also take advantage of the lack of labor, bring their own livestock to work to earn some rations, and at the same time pay the field grain money and collect the new regulations also make the Fengzhou market transaction on fire - The peasants were more willing to sell their harvest and pay taxes with military tickets, which not only saved the trouble of transporting grain, but also avoided the fact that the officials who collected the taxes rubbed the oil, and by the way, they could get some money to buy some household goods and farm tools for their families.

The autumn harvest has been smoothly launched, and this year's rice and wheat production has decreased, but the harvest of yam eggs and corn is not bad, and officials at all levels in Toyosu breathe a sigh of relief, and Toyosu finally has some joy after the drought. Associate Instructor Wang Fang was very active during this time, and he followed the work of publicizing the immigration policy of the Great Commander's Mansion, leading a group of people who could speak and sing to run around in various villages, Zhang Mengcun, Zhao Sheng and Bi Lige also followed him all day long - Zhao Sheng was recommended by fellow villager Zhang Mengcun, and soon had a hot fight with Wang Fang, and Bi Lige found that Wang Fang had a ghost idea, definitely more promising than himself, and had the heart to make friends with him, the two of them hit it off with the same smell, and the four of them became a small circle, Wang Fang had the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, so naturally he couldn't forget to share a little bit of them. Everywhere these four guys go, they will convene a meeting of the people, boast about the benefits of immigration, and lead everyone to sing and shout slogans, and before leaving, they can't forget to paint slogans on the stone walls and courtyard walls, some for the people of Fengzhou to see - "The people of the world are one family", "The more people the population is, the richer they will be", and there are also for immigrants to see - "Where there is freedom, there is my home", "No slavery, no nobility, vow to be a Fengzhou person, not a dog of the Ming Kingdom", and there are also those who slap the horse - "The great commander is the great savior of the people", "Wise and martial, The great commander of great mercy and compassion is auspicious", Wang Fang and his gang were very proud, believing that these slogans could not only improve the consciousness of the people, but also help the people to read more.

At this time, the Reichinal Office also drew up a detailed resettlement charter, which not only planned the number of immigrants to the guards, the division of land, and the rationing of money and food, but also involved changes in the structure, official system, and military system of the guards.

The displaced people in the Guannai and the previous Toyozhou, experienced war and flight, a large number of old and weak women and children or died or abandoned, the proportion of men in the population is relatively high, accounting for about 30 percent, after 150,000 people out of the customs and immigration, the number of men in Fengzhou will reach 70,000, the original system of Fengzhou has been unable to maintain, the Great Commander's Office has reformed the original health system for this reason.

Fengzhou continued to use the health system, but the establishment was changed from "one jurisdiction to five" to "one jurisdiction to six", that is, one health jurisdiction over six thousand households, one thousand households under the jurisdiction of six hundred households, one hundred households under the jurisdiction of six general flags, one general flag under the jurisdiction of six small flags, one small flag under the jurisdiction of ten ding, so that every thousand households of men reached more than 2,000, and the number of men per guard was nearly 13,000 people. The men of the guard station operate industrial and commercial agriculture and animal husbandry for the people in their spare time, and engage in conquest and defense for the soldiers in wartime, and set up a squad for the general flag, a squadron set up by 100 households, a brigade set up by 1,000 households, and a wing team set up by the guard station, which corresponds to the battalion soldiers' tiths, teams, sentinels, and battalions.

The military system has also been adjusted, Fengzhou will set up four battalions of cavalry, four battalions of infantry and a Flying Tiger battalion as a standing army, military pay is also very low, cavalry monthly salary five yuan military ticket, infantry monthly salary three yuan military ticket, but food, clothing and ordnance by the commander's office, there are dependents into the guard to give preferential care, this is also no way, so the worries are solved, each battalion is also equipped with a guard to do the supply of soldiers, the battalion is responsible for the daily training of the guard, the commander's office requires each battalion to train at least 1,000 guards as reserves.

The Presidential Office has also been changed, stipulating that the Tongzhi, the Minister, the Counselor, and the Senate are all councilors, and the organization is divided into three parts, with the Prime Minister handling government affairs, the military affairs of the Praise and Painting to handle military affairs, and the Dafa Division to handle criminal and prison lawsuits. For the various institutions under the Great Commander's Office, Li Fugui proposed to set up a treasury envoy department, which was responsible for collecting and storing gold and silver, copper and iron, cloth, grain and salt for emergency use, and at the same time as the capital for issuing military tickets, Batu proposed to set up a mission department to preside over the Fengzhou school and education affairs, Namur held a copy of the "Taixi Water Law", calling for the vigorous construction of water conservancy, the opening of mines, workshops, water conservancy, and the ability to make Fengzhou prosperous, not just thinking about putting manpower and material resources into the crops.

After discussion, it was decided to set up the Treasury Department and the Mission Department, and at the same time rebuild Ma Guangyuan's craftsman camp into the Ordnance Department, and dig out a large piece of civilian related to the Department of Commerce and Marketing, and the Department of Commerce and Commerce was changed to the Department of Industry and Commerce to plan industrial and commercial affairs in a unified manner. After the adjustment of the organization, the Bank Money Bureau, the Department of Industry and Commerce, the Treasury Department, the Taxation Department, the Propaganda and Education Department, the Inspection Department, and the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Office were assigned to the Prime Minister's Administrative Office, and the Ordnance Department, the Military Selection Battalion, and the Titang Division were assigned to the Zanhua Military Affairs Office.

Li Yu returned to the camp of the Barbarian Mountain, and immediately convened a meeting of the councillors of the Great Commander's Mansion - Tongzhi, Servants, Ministers, and Senators, he first talked about the talks in the old capital, and everyone accepted the result very calmly, Li Fugui even thought that Fengzhou had taken a big advantage, and could stabilize Chahar, and push it to the front for Fengzhou to block the threat of Jin, this price is definitely worth it, let them use our military tickets, as long as they are addicted, we will have the opportunity to control Chahar, and the money will be doubled back, The only regret is that Xiao Li Meng did not come back, and Li Yu's eldest son is controlled by Chahar Khan, and I am afraid that it will be a future trouble.

"The people of Jin Guo want to take action against the Daling River, there will not be too much time left for us, this charter must be implemented immediately, and immigration must begin in late August." Ortai handed Li Yu the resettlement charter.

Li Huai and Namur sat on Li Yu's left and right, and Li Yu watched while they explained in a low voice.

"This immigration, the population is large and the time is tight, Fengzhou can not take the existing land for the immigrants to cultivate, can only move them in as soon as possible, before the snow must complete the construction of houses and land consolidation, next spring will be fully devoted to spring ploughing, we can't think of too many ways to money and food, after they enter the country, each person will be issued two dollars of military tickets, and the rest of the method of service in lieu of relief, as long as they participate in the training of the health center and the construction of roads and water conservancy, we will pay money, and the mines and workshops can also give them some work. If Lao Zhao can get some money and food in the Guannai, the life of the common people will be better. Li Huai said.

"There will be 28,000 households in Fengzhou, we have given the number this time, we don't understand the set of the sexagenary branch, directly according to the number number, the first to the fourth thousand households directly under the Great Commander's Office, the fifth to the tenth thousand households under the jurisdiction of Fengzhou Wei, the eleventh to sixteen thousand households under the jurisdiction of Xuande Wei, the seventeenth to twenty-two thousand households under the jurisdiction of Xinghewei, the twenty-three to twenty-eight thousand households under the jurisdiction of Dongshengwei, plus the battalion soldiers and mines, workshops, and merchants, 70,000 men can basically be placed, and the house without Ding is shared by the camp and the various health centers to be contained, the more troublesome thing is, As the population increases, the number of officials will inevitably increase, but we don't have so many talented people who can be officials, such as the newly established Treasury Department and the Mission Department, so we can't find suitable people to do it. Namur continued.

"Grand Commander, I can't do the work of the Department of Industry and Commerce, I can only do business, I don't know anything about water conservancy and iron smelting, so let's change someone." March hurriedly stood up and shouted.

"How can anyone be born to be an official, aren't we all stumbling over? If you don't understand, learn from the old man, Lao Ma, even if you are bold, it doesn't matter if you make some mistakes, I'll carry it for you," Li Yu waved his hand to signal Ma Qi to sit down, glanced at Zhao Sheng, who was bored, and said, "There are also many talents among the homeless people, no worse than the officials from the Ming Imperial Examination, Lao Zhao managed the money and grain in an orderly manner in Baode, and he was able to do it as a treasury envoy, and Wang Fang from Yongping, the slogan was written quite well, and the Propaganda Department let him do it." ”

Zhao Sheng, who was already drowsy, woke up in fright, jumped up and shouted: "Great Commander, you spare me, I am naturally timid, since you let me take care of the food money in Baode, I haven't slept well, I don't go to the warehouse every day, I can't eat, I don't dare to do this job anymore." ”

"Only a timid person like you can see the big library, but if you change the bold, you don't dare to use it, the library envoy is you." Li Yu replied, and the others laughed when they looked at Zhao Sheng's frightened appearance.

Buyantu hesitated for a moment and said: "Wang Fang is indeed very capable, but this person has been mixed in the White Lotus Cult, so he still needs to be cautious in using it, besides, he has been in Fengzhou for less than two years, and he has become a missionary from a craftsman, is it too fast?" ”

"Fengzhou lacks talents, and there is no time to cultivate talents, as long as there are capable people, they have to be used, he made the Ming Kingdom and not my Fengzhou, what are we afraid of, let Wang Fang serve as the director of the Propaganda Department with the title of deputy thousand households, and then do the work first." Li Yu waved his hand and said.

Ortai said: "The tax made Fan Yongdou go to Jinguo to do business, and now he has not come back, and he threw the work of the tax collection department to his little brother Wang Dengku, and Zhang Shi'an, the general manager of the Tang Dynasty, has never come back to sell illicit salt, do these two people still need it?" Toyosu can't afford to lose time! ”

Li Yu set his eyes on Li Fugui - taxation and selling smuggled salt are all his affairs, Li Fugui nodded and said: "Lao Fan has a pimple in his heart about collecting his taxes, and he is not good at work, but this person is a talent, we will still use it in the future, I plan to transfer Bi Lige to be a tax envoy, Wang Dengku has been nameless, no sub-officer, and no energy, so he will be appointed as a deputy envoy, and it can be regarded as a face for Lao Fan, and the inspection envoy will be taken over by Han Dagong, the young man has read for a few days, and he has also experienced it in the past few years, Zhang Shi'an can't blame him, I asked him to exchange the money for selling smuggled salt directly in Shandong and Zhili for grain and transport it back, he has the identity of Jinyiwei, and it is more convenient to transport grain, Lao Zhang is still a good person. ”

"Since the errand is done well, it is necessary to promote and reuse, Liu Baishi will be appointed as Xinghewei, and the Titang Division cannot be presided over by no one, Zhang Shi'an will be promoted to the Tang envoy immediately when he comes back." Li Yu said decisively.

The crowd had no opinions, and even if it was passed, they discussed some details of the relocation of the displaced people, and decided to send Li Huai to Baode in person, and in late August to carry out the immigration affairs in an all-round way.

"There is another matter, I propose that Liu Xingzuo and Batu be the deputy commanders of Fengzhou, and ask the Grand Commander's Office to submit it to the public for discussion." Just as the meeting was about to end, Li Yu suddenly announced, everyone was immediately shocked, the general commander was deeply respected and in the prime of life, why was he in a hurry to divide power at this time?
