"Your Highness, this is a list of casualties and meritorious deeds of all soldiers of the expeditionary force, except for the three departments of Nanjing, Anqing and Jiujiang. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"This is the record of the redemption of military merits that has now been fed back to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, counting 2,093,700 mu of military merit land and 735,100 yuan of silver yuan." The feedback from Nanjing, Anqing and Jiujiang has not yet reached Lushan, and the Yangtze River is flooding for a while, and the traffic of ships will be slightly affected.

And when it was time to really ask for that land, the soldiers who had already been counted all looked at the acres with bright eyes, and only a very few people chose silver dollars. Many people looked at their military merit records, looked at the amount of military merit spent on women in the past, and their faces showed expressions of remorse, so that the teachers, clerks and other civilian personnel in the army saw the jokes of the soldiers.

Two million acres of land, a very large piece of land. But it was not difficult for the Fu Han army, because there were at least 60 million mu of cultivated land in the entire Hubei, and the Fu Han army had now occupied most of Hubei Province, leaving only Yichang, Shi Nan and Qing soldiers to insist. Judging from the statistics of official land collected in various places, it is extremely easy to allocate more than 2 million mu of land, and the Fu Han army has also confiscated a lot of land property when it swept the Quartet. Those gentry and squires who were officials in the family, as well as the eunuchs who came forward to organize group training, were liquidated one after another, and there were a lot of acres of land that were collected. More than 700,000 silver dollars is a piece of cake.

Chen Ming took the pen and swiped it lightly, it was very easy and simple, but how to conclusively distribute the general's merit field to the soldiers was a big problem. The field of military merit is the heart of the army, and this military heart must be implemented, not just a vain painting.

Taking the veterans from Hubei and Henan as an example, as long as these people are not drunk and dreaming of death, Huo Huo's military merit points, everyone can now get at least forty or fifty acres of military merit land. According to the regulations of the Fu Han Army, the military merit field is to enjoy tax incentives, and each of them has a field when they join the army, if they are combined, it is really a huge number, and it cannot be given in southwest Henan alone. So what about moving to a new place, and will these soldiers be willing? After all, this is not the 21st century, and no one wants to leave their hometown in a comfortable environment for no reason.

But if they don't move out, how can Ruzhou and Nanyang Mansion have so many acres of land to be allocated to them, and if they don't move out, how can the Fu Han Army let the people of Huguang know the benefits of being a soldier?

Dozens of acres of land, that is definitely a rich family in the countryside, and the vast majority of farmers work hard all their lives, tired and tired, just to make a living. The appeal of this to poor farmers cannot be underestimated. Especially nowadays, peasant families have more than one or two sons.

I didn't see that it was those recruits from northern Jiangsu, and after giving the field, they all trembled. Especially those soldiers whose families followed back to Hubei, the exuberant fighting spirit was like a burning torch!

Chen Ming was originally worried that the expeditionary force would return to Huguang, and in addition to the veterans from Hubei and Henan, what would happen to the morale of those recruits? As a result, he was relieved to see this scene. The inspiration of the land to the people of this era is needless to say. The military exploits of these recruits can be arranged in Hubei. So what about veterans? Distributing the veterans' military exploits to the countryside outside Hubei is of course a subordinate, but how do they manage it?

How could an ordinary peasant family manage land hundreds of miles away?

"The Metropolitan Governor can divide these military fields together, and put them together in a row, one or two thousand acres of land, which is not a small Zhuangzi. Since ancient times, it is common for large official eunuchs to buy properties in other places, as long as they arrange the head of the village, the head of the village will send the output to the house every quarter. If you don't want grain and rice, you can exchange it for silver money on the spot, and it is even more convenient to go back and forth. "If you really synthesize a Zhuangzi, then the annual output is not only grain, but also livestock such as chickens, ducks and geese, as well as firewood. If it is close, there must be filial piety on the Zhuangzi every New Year's holiday. And if the distance is far, there is only one money and grain settlement and New Year's gift on the New Year's Day.

Wang Huizu felt that it was completely possible to merge the veterans of the Han Army into one place, and only one platoon, one person, dozens of acres of land, could make a big Zhuangzi. Every year, the output is exchanged for silver and then sent to Ruzhou and Nanyang, and there is no delay at all -- Hubei is the granary of the world, and the Nanyang Basin itself is also a place where grain is produced, and Wang Huizu did not think that there would be a day when there would be a shortage of grain in the base area, and those military dependents would let people go all the way to transport a pile of grain to their homes.

"And in this way, the influence is greater. Only three or five per county, plus the government's preaching, can be passed on to the ears of the people day and night. ”

After Wang Huizu entered the Fu Han Army, he quickly learned about the policy of military merit, and he felt that this policy was really good. As long as a soldier fights with his heart, or even works hard to keep vigil, conduct training, and patrol, he will be able to earn points for military merit, and he will also be able to earn corresponding points for every injury and meritorious service. These points can be exchanged for wine, meat, and women, as well as silver and land, which can stabilize the morale of the army to a large extent. It's a pity that this policy in Jiangnan has not been implemented, and many recruits who have joined the army in northern Jiangsu and Jiangnan have only received simple money, which has a taste of painting cakes in the air, which makes people in the army less and less important to points. Looking at the statistical table of military merit points, those veterans and veterans from Hubei and Henan are very precious about their military merit points in the first few months, but the more days go on, the more military merit points are spent on women's bellies.

This time, the Fu Han army returned to Huguang, and after Chen Ming opened up the connection with southwest Henan, he began to implement the military merit field, and Wang Huizu made great efforts during this statistical strategy period. "This is the foundation of the emperor!" He said to Chen Ming about the military merit field.

"The wealth of Hubei is all in Jianghan. However, only in the land of poor mountains and bad rivers can strong troops, such as the northern part of Huangzhou Prefecture, Yunyang and Shinan Prefectures, there are many mountains and few places, and the people are fierce, if the military merits can be widely spread among the people, it will definitely attract some local people to join the army. ”

"In the future, the stronger our Han army will be, the more powerful this policy will be. There are thousands of people in the world who have no place to stand, as long as there are eleven people driven by His Royal Highness, with the sharpness of the armor and guns of the Han Army, and the eloquence of His Highness, sweeping the world, who can resist! ”

"Your Highness also needs to greet the task force, so that the task force can seize the time to arrange relevant dramas, and take the opportunity to go to the countryside to publicize it."

Chen Ming's attendant room was disbanded, and there was no attendant room in the Fu Han military system, Wang Huizu is now the record of Chen Minglu's mansion to join the army, Xiong Bingzhang is the main book, and Liu Wu is the long history. The right battalion of the personal guards was changed to the Guards Brigade, and the tank battalion was incorporated into it, and Shi Meng led the brigade commander. Chen Qi was released to lead the troops. Soon after, the chief officer in the first-level establishment of the Fuhan Military Division had a place for him.

The position of recording and joining the army is to be in charge of the general record of Cao Wenshu, and to raise the good and evil. Wang Huizu is very careful and virtuous, but he is not a straightforward minister, he can use his words and deeds to make his proprietor [Chen Ming], let his colleagues believe in his personality, just like Wang Huizu himself said 'Lipin' - if you want the master, you must use my words, you must first make the master not doubt my deeds, be loyal to the master, and take the name without profit. But he is not a person who speaks out, he is not Wei Zheng. After half a year of companionship, Chen Ming clearly knows that he is a person, and this kind of character may have something to do with his experience of more than ten years of staff masters.

In the current situation, he can't leave, and then he will keep silent.

This afternoon was busy until the evening, and when he returned to his residence, Chen Ming still rested in Li Xiaomei's room, and after washing, he lay on the bed with his mind on the affairs of the military grange. It has been decided to do so, but Chen Ming feels that he can still maximize the benefits. For example, a 'military cooperative' was set up to unify the military service farms in various places, and all the farms and farm goods were sold to related industries, or they could engage in related industries themselves.

Then wheat and rice can be used for grain, soybeans and peanuts can be used for oil, cotton can be woven in the future, and raw silk can be spun into silk.

The Chamber of Commerce in Lushan will be held soon, whether it is a merchant who has an order for military rations or an order for military uniforms and uniforms, they need grain, oil, cotton, cloth and ....... Whose cloth is it not to buy? Buying the output of military cooperatives can also tie up with yourself and the army. Moreover, Chen Ming also thought of the banks set up in various places, and the Huaxia Bank in the military city of the Fu Han Dynasty copied the business classification of later banks to a considerable extent, which was much more complete than the current Chinese money bank business, which should be dispersed to the silver money in the hands of each military family - the non-local remittance business, can't it be matched with it? There is also an additional post office service - a remittance slip.

When Chen Ming thought about it, he suddenly felt that all aspects of this military cooperative would be very big.

"Brother Ming, that's a really good idea. Let me tell you, making cloth is more profitable than grain. Here in Lushan, I haven't seen how the price of grain has risen, and it is this cloth that has been out of stock several times. ”

The Fu Han army occupied Hubei, and the cloth and cotton in Sichuan and Jiangnan couldn't come out, and Li Xiaomei didn't know if it would be out of stock again, but her intuition told her that cotton and cloth were more profitable than grain, and when did Hubei run out of food.

Let me explain here that cotton should be planted in the spring, taking Hubei as an example, it was generally planted before the Qingming Festival, and it is known that it is with wheat and rice grabbing land, and the growth date overlaps.

Chen Ming hugged Li Xiaomei vigorously, put several pots of ice in the room, and covered the list when sleeping. Li Xiaomei was not enthusiastic about political affairs, and soon she shrank into Chen Ming's arms and fell asleep. Chen Ming's eyes were still blinking.

This place in Hubei is mainly planted with rice, supplemented by a small area of wheat and cotton, and Huguang can be used as the granary of the world during the Qing Dynasty, so sowing is inevitable. Therefore, contrary to the situation in Jiangnan, Hubei has more grain fields than cotton fields and mulberry fields, while Jiangnan is just the opposite.

Now that the Fu Han army has seized Huguang, cloth and cotton from other provinces will never be able to enter, and I heard that in Jiangnan this year, many fields where cotton and hemp were planted in the past have been converted into rice fields, and the Manchu Qing must have had enough of the food deficit and had to learn to behave.

Without the big granary of Huguang, if Jiangnan still grows more cash crops such as cotton and linen than rice, it will not be able to pull out so much grain even if Jiangnan is squeezed dry.

Guangdong did buy a lot of grain from Indochina, but it would be nice to be able to make two trips a year from Guangdong to Beijing. It can only account for a small part, and the big head has to come out of Jiangnan.

In the future, in the jurisdiction of the Fu Han army, the food will definitely be enough, and the medicinal materials, the Fu Han army will soon sweep Yuzhou, and after taking Hanzhong, this medicinal material will be enough. Hanzhong is comparable to the treasure trove of medicinal herbs in Yuzhou. Besides, Hanzhong is also rich in saltpeter, and taking Hanzhong is also related to Chen Ming's strategic plan - he wants to cut off China!

The west head of Hanzhong is stuck, there are Huguang, Anqing, Jiangxi in the middle, Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing in the south of the Yangtze River, and so on to Yueyang, Jiujiang and Wuchang newly built shipyards, open the warship at full power, so that Chen Ming's hands have enough water division strength, then go down the river to take Chongming Island, at the mouth of the Yangtze River and the Manchu Qing Dynasty foreign sailors to compete with the outshore, and then in the future in Luozi Zhoushan Chen Jigong convergence, and the southeast Zhang Zheng two water forces echo, it will completely divide China along the Yangtze River into two, Let the Manchus in the north no longer get a penny or grain from Jiangnan, and then we have to see what Qianlong can do! But that's a story for another time......

Salt needs to put your eyes on the south of the Yangtze River, and the Huaiyan in northern Jiangsu is closer to the Fuhan army than the well salt in Sichuan under Chen Ming's big plan.

The rest is cloth, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, and the importance of cloth goes without saying. If those military farms can join forces and transfer those more than 2 million mu of land from grain cultivation to cash crop cultivation......

"What do the gentlemen think?"

Chen Ming pulled Wang Huizu and Xiong Bingzhang to discuss the matter early the next morning. After the disbandment of the chamber, many people became local officials, and most of the original civilian positions of the expeditionary force remained in the army, Liu Dezhao served as the prefect in Wuchang, and there were only a few people left around Chen Ming. Then there are relatives such as Huang Song, Gao Yanming, and Chen Jiqing, who are Chen Ming's attendants.

"There's a lot to be gained from this." Xiong Bingzhang took the lead in nodding, his eyes blinking and blinking, but he pressed the waves that sparked in his heart for a moment, talked about things with things, and compared the economy of the two places with his experience of being a master in Wuhu and Xuzhou Prefecture Yamen: "The benefits of cotton and linen are twice as good as agricultural grain, but the people have no food and are unstable. Hubei is the granary of the world, the grain field is strange, since we do not worry about grain and rice, it is naturally feasible to change the mulberry hemp cotton field. "It's too late this year, and when the military fields are divided and demarcated, it's time to harvest the rice. And more importantly......

"Your Highness said that this military cooperative is indeed feasible. But it is advisable to be slow rather than urgent. This matter is a matter of great benefit to the soldiers, and His Royal Highness is also out of a good intention, even if this is the case, then the military merit farm should be actively involved, rather than forcibly pinched by the law of government decrees. ”
