Yanzhou City.

"What? The Wuwei Army wants to evacuate and let my Shanyang Army take over the three prefectures in the southwest? Hearing the information sent back from Fengwei County, Feng Ziming almost stood up in shock.

"Yes, my lord, yesterday morning, the Wuwei Army sent someone to send information, saying that they are preparing to evacuate today, so let's prepare to send someone to take over. General Shen Qing sent people to inspect the situation, and at the same time asked his subordinates to report to the adults and wait for the adults' decisions. The messenger said urgently.

Feng Ziming said to himself: "It's strange, in the previous negotiation, this picture did not let go, why did it suddenly change now?" Is there some kind of trickery? ”

"Your Excellency...... My lord! At this moment, Sun Zhuang of the intelligence department hurriedly walked in.

"My lord, the information from the Tiger Prison Pass!" As he spoke, he handed the information in his hand to Feng Ziming.

Feng Ziming took a look, his face was overjoyed, and he said with a smile: "I'll just say, why did the Wuwei Army evacuate in a hurry, so that's the case." You go and give you General Shen an order, and say that you will immediately send troops to take over the territory occupied by the Wuwei Army, and we will continue to send people here to assist. ”

"Haha...... Zhang Tu, of course, did not let go of his mouth when he was in peace talks, but now, this place has fallen into our hands in vain. Well, this is also the result of our own planning. ”

"Come on, immediately order the governor yamen and the general of the guard army to come here to discuss matters." After being a little happy, Feng Ziming ordered again. There's a lot he needs to deal with right now. In the land of the Three Mansions, a large number of civil officials are needed. We need county soldiers, we need to implement new policies at the local level, and we need relief for the poor people in the three prefectures......

Subsequently, Feng Ziming hurriedly sent this information to Jizhou. After all, Li Huaiyuan of Jizhou is also waiting for the changes under the two passes. The slightest abnormality may require a large army to be dispatched. Now that the situation has been decided, we can't help but let the Xiaoguo army in Jizhou relax and return to normal.

…………

Liaozhou, Governor Yamen.

"This is a new system set by the Liaozhou government?" Looking at the Liaozhou Anmin manual that Yang Wangqing took out, he asked with a smile. The overall population of Liaozhou is much smaller than that of other prefectures, but there are more people of all ethnic groups here, and as the number of people of various ethnic groups enters the country, the local jurisdiction here will be much more troublesome. Although in Zhao Xun's plan, the final proportion of Han people will always exceed eighty percent, but the arrogance of the people of all ethnic groups, the vast land and the sparsely populated situation and the small number of big cities make it not easy to do a good job.

"In my opinion, the system between the townships and towns under the jurisdiction of this place is called the Baojia system, let them cooperate with the Inspection Department to thoroughly govern this Liaozhou place. In addition, it is also necessary to monitor the people and enemy spies of the forces of the Xiaoguo Army in Liaozhou," Zhao Xun looked at the local governance system in his hand and said softly. Although the prefecture and county system is good, it can only be at the level of the official county, and further down, it was originally the township elders and township chiefs who were responsible, and the Xiaoguo Army was responsible for the inspection department. However, there are many towns and towns in Liaozhou, few prefectures and counties, and few cities, but there are many people of all ethnic groups. Therefore, Zhao Xun hopes to completely control the place.

Subsequently, Zhao Xun also perfected the so-called armor protection system, and then began to implement it. Zhao Xun sent people to implement the armor protection system in Liaozhou, in order to obtain the actual control of the local government. It's okay to say that the city is stationed, and it is naturally not afraid, and the officials sent by the Xiaoguo army can naturally be properly governed. However, the township below is a cumbersome place. Can't afford not to deal with it.

Like the old system of the Great Yan Kingdom, most of the local officials relied on the local landlords and gentry forces or clan forces to manage the local government. But in the territory of the Xiaoguo Army, this is absolutely not allowed. Even if he is the person in charge of the township, he is appointed by the county government, and he still has a number of years, and the second term must not be a relative of the first person. In addition, this is also responsible for civil disputes, in charge of civil affairs. As for a series of responsibilities such as public security, anti-theft, and picketing, the inspection department is responsible. The inspection department belongs to the county soldier system and is regarded as an official soldier of the government.

"By the way, who are the people in this Jiazheng, Baozheng, and Lizheng, there are many towns and villages in Liaozhou, there are not 20,000 or 30,000 people, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to cover all the places." Looking at the last count, even Zhao Xun couldn't help but be secretly taken aback. More than 20,000 people, which is not a small number.

Yang Wangqing said with a smile: "It just so happens that our army has a lot of wounded soldiers and veterans in the battle of Liaozhou and the war against the Turks, which originally needed to be properly arranged by the Military Affairs Department. These people, in addition to the county soldiers and the inspection department, our local security armor can also settle them. Besides, in the years of war, the number of wounded soldiers and veterans is definitely not a small number, so it can be regarded as reducing the pressure on the government. ”

Zhao Xun stroked his palms and smiled: "Yes, this is a good idea, it finally solves the life problem for the wounded soldiers and veterans, after all, the dart bureau and the county soldiers are limited." In this way, I will first allocate more than 20,000 people to you among the wounded soldiers in the Turkic War and the Liaozhou War, and send them to various places to serve as Jiazheng, Baozheng, and Lizheng, and we will completely capture the entire Liaozhou place. Here, a complete and solid rule is formed. ”

"In addition, we also have to cooperate with the Shadow Division and the Eagle Eye Division to weave an intelligence network in this Liaozhou land, no matter what, we must completely stabilize this place. Use force when necessary. ”

"By the way, how is the land distributed to the people living here?"

Yang Wangqing said: "Don't worry, my lord, because the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Sect both surrendered directly and voluntarily, so we have the complete information here." The acres of land have been measured, and all the people living here have been redivided. As for those who are ready to migrate, we have also reported to their households, told them, and in other places, prepared fields for them to respond. So, nothing went wrong. ”

"Not only that, but because of the surrender of these two countries, Zhao, under our active actions, all the qiē are normal, and all the immigrants and the people living here have lent farm tools, seeds, and ploughing cattle, so that the spring ploughing can be completed! In addition to the ones that have already been allocated. For the rest of the fields, we also completed spring ploughing with the cooperation of the soldiers and prisoners. It can be said that most of the fields here have been planted with grain. As long as the people move here, the fields can be directly divided, and even the food is ready-made. However, the people who have already planted grain in these fields are required to pay a certain amount of grain in the autumn as a payment. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Yes, this can be promised, a soldier is a soldier after all, not a farmer who cultivates fields for the people." It is also a matter of course to get paid. ”

Yang Wangqing said: "After we moved away all the nobles and killed all the original big landlords, and distributed the fields to the people who were allowed to stay, we liberated those slaves of the people, so that the current people are more satisfied with us." Basically, my Xiaoguo army has established a foothold here, and has also obtained the allegiance of these Tatars, and in the future, what we need is to slowly assimilate them. ”

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "In the past ten days, we have inspected various prefectures and counties, and you must have seen that the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and there is a lot of wasteland. Therefore, we should encourage the people to cultivate the land in a big way. In this case, let the government inform the people that all the land they have cultivated must only hand over one-third of the harvest to the government, and the remaining two-thirds of the harvest will be owned by them and exempt from tax for five years, and these lands will be issued by the government as the private property of the people. Presumably, whether it is the Han people who migrated here or the original Yan people, they will be keen on and open up wasteland. ”

Yang Wangqing was overjoyed and said: "The lord's method is very good, in this way, it can not only increase the number of fields in Liaozhou, but also increase the grain income of the government." Kill two birds with one stone, you can do it, you can do it. As long as there is food, I can't do anything in the future. In times like these, food is more important than money. ”

"By the way, how are the other things discussed in Youzhou going?"

Yang Wangqing said: "According to the original plan, this land of Liaozhou will achieve the unification of culture, coins, language, etc. In terms of language, it is difficult for us to get everyone to speak Chinese at once. However, we have adopted Chinese and Chinese characters as the orthodox language of the local government. Even in the shops run by our government and some merchants, Chinese characters and Chinese have become necessary conditions for the selection of workers. In this way, we will slowly reverse the habits of these peoples. ”

"In addition, we have opened more than 130 academies in the 6 prefectures and 36 counties of Liaozhou to teach the younger generation here to study. At the same time, he also sold my Chinese books on a large scale. Even, we also invited some people who were proficient in Chinese to serve as officials in the government. In this way, it can also make the people of the Yan and other ethnic groups proud of writing and speaking Chinese. ”

Zhao Xun nodded and said, "Yes, you are doing well here." In this way, the land of Liaozhou will be dominated by Chinese characters and Chinese. What we have to do is not only that, but also teach them the etiquette of loyalty and filial piety, teach them the king, minister, father and son, let them know gratitude, know the humility of the upper and lower. "For people of different races, Zhao Xun has never really been at ease. Only by thoroughly integrating them can we treat them equally.

Yang Wangqing nodded yes, and then said: "Huitong Qianzhuang has entered the land of Liaozhou, here, we have found gold and silver mines, of course, they have the Finance Department, the Internal Affairs Office of Zhao Wangfu, and the Supervision Department jointly supervised. Here, the minting of coins has already begun, and now the furnace has been opened. ”

"In addition, we have agreed to remint the original local currency, and the currency in the hands of the people here has also been exchanged. For all government and shop transactions, they will collect the Huitong coins of the Xiaoguo Army, not other currencies. Not only the coins of these ethnic groups, but also the merchants of Yizhou Island, the merchants of the Qi army and the merchants of the Central Plains who came from the south to trade, all need to exchange Huitong coins before they can be traded, because we collect taxes to obtain Huitong coins, and moreover, as long as Huitong coins are collected. Just by exchanging coins, we can earn a lot of money. ”

Zhao Xun nodded, and Zhao Xun also knew that the exchange of coins for huàn was a fact of ten thousand profits. In particular, Huitong coins are the most beautiful and cannot be imitated, which greatly increases their value. Of course, the most important of these is that the coins of Huitong Bank are not minted randomly, and the size of the coins has not been changed.

You must know that it is not only the Xiaoguo army that mints coins now, but also the Qi army and the Yongwang army in the south, all of which have their own official coins, and they are the same as each other. Of course, this is also a way for Murong Cheng, the king of Qi, and Situ Lei, the king of Yong, to obtain income. After all, it takes money to fight a war.

However, whether it is the coins of the Qi army or the coins of the Yongwang army, they have been privately minted by some big businessmen and wealthy families, which has greatly reduced the quality of its currency, not to mention its credibility.

You must know that in this era, coinage was actually a very simple process, and even many merchants and nobles had open furnaces to mint it. But making money privately is a big crime. If it was in the Taiping Era, these people would not dare, but now, who cares? Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, even the King of Zhao, the King of Qi and the King of Yong, are just privately minted coins, they are all busy fighting for territory, and they are powerless for these at that time.

Nowadays, money is made by melting metal, pouring it into a mold, and after cooling, this is the money used today, and it is not very complicated to make. As long as the basic mold is available, the following are some manual problems. Therefore, those big businessmen and gentry doped various kinds of worthless metals in the metal solution, so that the gold, silver and copper content contained in it was reduced, so as to reap the benefits. Eventually, the real good money is getting less and less, and the money is becoming less and less valuable. It is also because of this that Huitong coins can be circulated in the south.

Because the coins of Huitong Bank are forged by a hydraulic forging press, that is, the patterns on it, the anti-counterfeiting edges, the patterns on it, and the number numbering on them are not possible by ordinary means. As a result, Huitong coins cannot be minted in four passes. This is why Huitong coins have become the best object for all merchants to exchange huàn. In many places, when trading, the amount of money is used as a fixed amount. If you don't have a Huitong coin, your money will be counted as the quality of the huàn Huitong coin. Of course, if it's gold or silver, it's not money, that's a different story.
