Chapter 1019: Partition

In the dim light, the thunderous look changed with the light.

Standing up and looking at the dark night outside, he said: "I was originally going to announce this matter tomorrow, since you mentioned it tonight, I will say it directly, the emperor of Australia has given us some benefits for this attack, if you want to turn the money from your own war into land, I can promise you." ”

Shi Yanjun was overjoyed and said loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, commander, you want to give me a piece of fertile land." ”

"Of course, but there is one thing, the Australian land cabinet has set a price, if you want too big land, I'm afraid in addition to the money this time, you have to take some money to fill it."

"Of course that's fine."

Shi Yanjun said briskly, in the last Kwantung War, he divided a piece of land of 300 acres, and at the same time bought a slave to be responsible for cultivating this land, and he earned a total of 300 gold dragons from the land over the years.

Now he is ready to sell the land in Kanto and use all his savings to buy a manor and pasture here, and he has his eye on this place when he is sorting out the materials.

Because he found the profit of wool in it, and now with the development of the empire's industry, the demand for wool is also increasing, and it is important to take the lead.

Looking at Shi Yanjun's excited face, Lei Ming frowned and reminded: "The emperor has given us full favors, but this does not mean that we can do whatever we want, it is precisely because we are worried that the generals in the army will use their private power to do mischief in the occupied areas, this time the emperor has opened up a little power to us, and the emperor's requirements have not changed, generals and officials are not allowed to do business, and it is our duty to fight, so you don't waste too much energy on this matter, understand?" ”

Shi Yanjun regained his normal color, and he said: "Don't worry, commander, I won't come nonsense." ”

"Well, go back and prepare for the enactment of slavery in Wales." Lei Ming said.

Seeing Shi Yanjun leave, Lei Ming pinched his brows, in his position, he was no longer thinking about the problem of fighting alone, but also about the construction of the army.

Although the imperial court stipulated that generals and officials could not do business, there was no way to restrict their families and relatives from doing business, after all, because one person became an official, the other seven aunts and eight aunts would starve to death.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, the cabinet can only issue regulations to restrict relatives from doing business, and minimize the participation of generals and officials.

During these years of the empire's development, it was inevitable that officials and generals would use their influence to enrich their clansmen around them.

And there are many such phenomena in the military, such as the Kwantung War.

After occupying this huge land, the imperial court urgently needed the people of Kannai to migrate there to effectively control the Kanto, so it adopted the method of rewarding a large number of meritorious officials.

As a result, many generals and soldiers were given large quantities of land in the Kanto, and they bought slaves to manage the land, which gradually prospered in a few short years.

Although this is exactly the result that the imperial court wants, it is inevitable that in this process, there will be a situation where generals will use their rights to obtain fertile land, and for this reason, the imperial court has specially dealt with a group of people.

Now the Australian meat has fallen on the head of the Southeast Military Region, which is a fat piece for the generals, but as the commander of the military region, this is tantamount to a trouble for him, and he may be impeached by his political opponents because of improper handling.

Now, everyone's eyes in the empire are now on him, after all, many people want to pull him down from the position of commander.

"Hey, I really wish I could go back to the days when I was a big soldier."

Lei Ming sighed, the warning he gave to Shi Yanjun just now was also for his good, he didn't want to follow his brother who fought in the south and north to make mistakes.

But this time he didn't say it to death, because the emperor's dictation to him was very lenient, and he also gave him full rights to distribute land, Australia is too big for the empire to share.

Therefore, he was also thinking about whether to be more lenient this time, he understood Shi Yanjun's character, he took the initiative to propose, there must be other generals behind his back, if this involves the interests of most people, he has to weigh it.

While he was thinking, Shi Yanjun also returned to his residence, and as soon as he entered the door, the brigade commander, regiment commander, and camp tent in the army surrounded him.

"Division commander, what did the commander say?" Brigade Commander Gao Shunyi asked.

"The emperor seems to have given the commander some authority, and everyone should be able to taste the sweetness this time." Shi Yanjun said with a smile.

When the generals heard this, they immediately became happy, and Gao Shunyi said: "Division commander, this time you have to take care of the brothers, when I was in Kanto, Riesling gave all the favors to Luo Xin, but they divided most of the fertile land, we are all crooked melons and cracked dates, this time our Southeast Military Region occupies the whole of Australia, don't give this fertilizer to outsiders." ”

"I don't have to say this, the commander warned me just now, let me be more restrained, I guess I can see everyone's thoughts, our commander is from a humble background, not like Commander Lu who followed the emperor from the beginning, and not like Luo Xin, who has a backstage, you better make less trouble for the commander."

After a pause, he continued; "Besides, the commander won't let us suffer, you still put your heart in your stomach, what should be yours is yours, not yours, it's useless for you to stretch your neck."

Gao Shunyi was a little dissatisfied, he said: "The commander's courage is too small, what are you afraid of, if anyone dares to make irresponsible remarks in this matter and give us small shoes, I Gao Shunyi will lead someone to shoot him." ”

Shi Yanjun's face changed, and he said: "Shut up, if you let the commander know, you will have to shed your skin if you don't die, and no one should mention the matter of land from now on, otherwise don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people." ”

All the generals sighed, but in Shi Yanjun's stern eyes, they still turned around and went back.

Seeing off his subordinates, Shi Yanjun breathed a sigh of relief, in fact, he was also very embarrassed, the generals and soldiers were very brave in this battle, and the biggest factor that inspired them was to be able to divide the first batch of high-quality land in Australia.

Because of this, the generals would come to him after the battle was over, and if the matter was not handled properly, it would be a blow to the confidence of the soldiers.

"Riesling, you are an excellent general, but you don't understand people's hearts." Shi Yanjun sighed slightly, if he didn't protect the interests of his generals, who would be willing to die?

Looking at the Governor's Palace, which was still lit, Shi Yanjun sat down at the table, and then took out his pen and began to formulate the matter of slavery.

Now they have occupied Australia, but it will be a long time before the court appoints officials here, and they will have to run it on their behalf.

Early the next morning, Shi Yanjun handed over the slavery bill that had been prepared for most of the night to Lei Ming.

Glancing at the contents, Lei Ming nodded, he didn't mention the slave matter but said, "I thought about it all night and decided to give you a piece of fertile land. ”

Shi Yanjun was dumbfounded when he heard this, did his commander finally open his mind?
