Chapter 612
"Leave them alone, let them think about it, go, go and see the displaced people resettled in the south of the city." Zhao Xun said casually, for this negotiation, to be honest, Zhao Xun is not in his eyes now. The entire Great Yan Kingdom let Situ Lei do this, making a mess, and even fighting a war doesn't need a reasonable reason, what do you care about.
To the south of the city, the wilderness that was once empty has now become a field of fields. All of them were reclaimed by the displaced people, and ditches were dug through guò so that irrigation water could dredge the fields.
In addition, in the newly built villages, there are also breeding farms organized by the government to raise cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and other livestock brought from the north. It has to be said that large-scale farming is much more cost-effective and convenient than exclusive single-family farming.
These farms are located within a short distance of the surrounding fields and can complement each other. The manure of livestock can be used as fertilizer in the field, and the grain and debris grown in the field can be used for the breeding site. Zhao Xun knows very well that there is a difference between people who have meat to eat and those who don't have meat. The soldiers wanted more energy, and meat was a necessity. Of course, the eggs produced by raising chickens and ducks are also a valuable thing.
Zhao Xun walked in the rows of huge pigsties, looking at the fat pigs in the pigsty and the people who were busy inside and outside the pigsty from time to time, he was very satisfied, he smiled and said to Fengzi: "It seems that these homeless people are well settled, and they will gain something in the future, and they will also be distributed to these people according to the proportion, so that they can support their families independently." Of course, we can also encourage them to set up a farm in partnership. This meat is a huge need for our army. Moreover, these things are also very popular in the market. ”
Feng Ziming said with a smile: "This is thanks to the people sent by the lord, to be honest, for these collective special breeding, the subordinates have never thought about it like this." However, it is indeed much more cost-effective to do so than to keep a single family alone. ”
Zhao Xun said with a smile: "Speaking of which, this is also related to the implementation of the new policy by the Xiaoguo Army. Although we have implemented the New Deal, it is indeed a good policy for ordinary people. However, it is not so good for those large households who just rely on the fields. In addition, some people are good at business, and some big families don't know anything about it. Although our army later relaxed policy restrictions on the north, we still controlled the trade between fields very strictly. Therefore, I remembered this method of large-scale breeding, which allowed those who had money and no land and no means of business to start a business, and at the same time gave some common people and homeless people the opportunity to find partners. Wouldn't it be nice that everyone would be satisfied. It just so happens that the demand for meat is relatively large, and these farms are not afraid of losses. ”
Feng Ziming sighed: "What the lord thinks is indeed wonderful. Not only did they take care of the people, but they also took care of the disgruntled clans. In this way, they will not be too resentful of the lord in their hearts. More importantly, their interests are gradually implicated with the lord, forming a new interest group. ”
Zhao Xun looked at the large fields in the distance, and said: "But no matter what, for the people, the field is the foundation, even if the farm comes quickly, it is not as fast as the grain in the field." Therefore, we still need to absorb displaced people and intensify efforts to open up wasteland. Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and there are endless wars, which is my land, and in this month, more than 20,000 people have flowed in. If we continue like this, we are afraid that there will be more displaced people in our army, and we cannot ignore it. ”
Feng Ziming smiled bitterly: "This is also thanks to the grain transported by Murong Cheng and the caravan transported by the Lord Gongtong, otherwise, I am afraid that it will be difficult to support the nearly 100,000 displaced people." First brought back nearly 80,000 from Siyang County, and now there are 20,000 more. The land of Yanzhou is the most peaceful and peaceful place for us. and this Xu Jie, who was completely used by this Situ Lei and became a knife of Situ Lei. Doesn't this Xu Jie, if the army in his hand is all over and the people under his rule are tired of him, can he still sit in Yanzhou? Even if he is the county prince of Yanzhou, what is there? Is...... I was fascinated by the power in front of me. Since the beginning of the year, the army has been reorganized, and then the army has been expanded and fought. In the past half a year, the land of Yanzhou has been made into a miasma, if we hadn't been here, I'm afraid that even if this Shanyang Mansion is not lost, I'm afraid that it will be the same as the rest of the mansions, and he would have already put his hand here. ”
Zhao Xun sighed and said: "Who made the family the justifiable governor of Yanzhou?" He was obsessed with the interests of the Lord of Yanzhou again. I thought that after getting Situ Lei's support, he would be able to act as a state and command the Quartet. As he spoke, he sighed again and continued: "It's just that he doesn't know how to govern the place at all, he only knows how to use the military power in his hands to fight for power and profit, thinking that after defeating the Wuwei Army and destroying it, this is his world." But he didn't know what he relied on to fight a war and what he needed. What does Yanzhou rely on? ”
"Let's see, what did this Xu Jie's sit in order to defeat the Wu Wei Army? Or rather, he was deliberately induced by this Situ Lei's person to become something. In just half a year, he actually raised the tax rate of each state capital by 50%, didn't he know that if he dared to raise 50% here, the people below would dare to raise it by one or even two or three times? Having military power in your hands is indeed the foundation and most important of the commanding party. However, if he can't even control local government affairs, what else does he want to do? Where does the money and food come from? It's all from ordinary people. However, this Xu Jie, who only knows how to ask the people now, does not know that they have the ability to be demanded. ”
Feng Ziming said in a deep voice: "The meaning of the lord is that what Xu Jie did was deliberately induced by Situ Lei's people?" That's right, if the Wuwei Army is defeated at that time, and Xu Jie's subordinates are also defeated, then this is Situ Lei's world. If reinforcements were sent to the land of Yanzhou, Yanzhou would be occupied in a daze, and some taxes would be reduced, even if it was restored to the previous level, the people would be grateful to Situ Lei, and at that time, Situ Lei would cross the Xu Jie and control Yanzhou, and there would be no obstacles. It's easy to calculate, but now I'm afraid that Situ Lei hopes that the local government can support it for a longer time. If the Wuwei Army is not defeated, but collapses Xu Jie, this fun will be great, and it will completely cheapen King Qi. ”
Zhao asked: "The calculation is good, but it's a pity, first the Tang army suddenly changed, and then the reinforcements were intercepted by the Qi Wang army stationed in Yuzhou. Now, the land of Yanzhou is resisted by the Yanzhou Mansion Army, maybe, this bargain did not fall on him Situ Lei, but on Murong Cheng. So, this time our request is to take over Yanzhou Mansion. The tone is cheap to others, but it is better to be cheap to me. Moreover, if we accept the Yanzhou Mansion, it will also be extremely beneficial to us. The implementation of the new policy in Yanzhou Mansion now will definitely be welcomed by the people from the bottom of their hearts. ”
Feng Ziming smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that Xu Jie won't agree, Xu Jie is the county prince of Yanzhou, and he is also the governor of Yanzhou, the lord of the Yanzhou army." This Yanzhou Mansion is still the seat of Yanzhou, if it is given to us, then he ......"
Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Xu Jie won't agree, so I let Situ Lei's people come forward!" Now Situ Lei's people are more anxious than Xu Jie. After all, if the land of Yanzhou is occupied by the Wuwei army, then the general trend of the world will be favorable to the king of Qi. And the situation that Situ Lei worked so hard to create turned into a cocoon in an instant. ”
Will Situ Lei's people say yes? Feng Ziming was not sure. Judging from the current situation, this Situ Lei is also calculating Yanzhou. I also want to include the land of Yanzhou under my command. Naturally, he didn't want Yanzhou Mansion, the seat of Yanzhou's governance, and Yanzhou's most prosperous mansion, to fall into the hands of Zhao Xun, but in the current situation, Situ Lei had no choice, didn't he?
In Juye City, not far from the Thorn Mansion, it is the place where the envoy stays, that is, the post station.
Situ Wen personally sent a mission here this time, firstly, to get Feng Ziming's help, and secondly, to see the current situation of Shanyang Mansion. But the news of the two-day walking observation and his own spies made Situ Wen frown, not for anything else, just because the situation in Shanyang Mansion had exceeded his expectations.
In Situ Wen's imagination, this Shanyang Mansion is nothing more than the same as Xu Jie, a local power rising and wanting to seek benefits in troubled times. Of course, it's also for self-preservation. After the inspection, it was found that the situation here was very different from what was expected. The New Deal is implemented here, which has a great similarity with the Xiaoguo Army. These did not surprise Situ Wen, after all, within the forces of Murong Cheng and Situ Lei, many places were following the example of the Xiaoguo Army and reforming the internal situation. But if it is only the lord of the government and is implementing the new policy, then this problem is not light. This shows that the person in charge of Shanyang Mansion has great ambitions and is a person who is difficult to control.
If the people of Shanyang Mansion become the masters of Yanzhou, will they still have a chance? Situ Wen thought secretly. There is no doubt about the answer, Situ Wen knows that if Feng Ziming is in charge of the land of Yanzhou, I am afraid that the Wuwei army will not enter Yanzhou now, and they will not be able to fight the idea of the land of Yanzhou. Fortunately, it's just the lord of a mansion, Situ Wen thought. But another question made him entangled again, how could such a character be used by himself? Then, the price paid for helping each other must not be small. What kind of conditions will be put forward to deal with the troops? I'm afraid that it won't be clear until the person sent to Assassinate Shifu to negotiate with Feng Ziming will come today.
"My lord, Liu Yi, they're back!" At this moment, the guard outside the house said softly.
"Oh! Come back, let them wait in the atrium, I'll be there shortly. Situ Wen explained in a deep voice.
After a while, Situ Wen came to the inner hall with a calm face, but saw that Liu Yi was already waiting.
"I've seen my lord!" Situ Wen appeared, and Liu Yi saluted.
"How's it going? Did Feng Ziming ever agree? Situ Wen asked lightly.
Hearing Situ Wen's inquiry, Liu Yi said with a somewhat ugly face: "Lord Hui, this Feng Ziming and Li Feng are simply too presumptuous, and they don't take us and Xu Jie in their eyes at all. He told us to send someone who could speak to negotiate with him, otherwise he would have to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally submit to the strong side. ”
"Huh?" Situ Wen immediately frowned, and said, "Tell me, tell me what you have happened in detail!" ”
After listening to Liu Yi's story, Situ Wen frowned and said, "You mean, it was this Li Feng who had a direct conversation with you in the Assassin's Mansion, not Feng Ziming?" ”
Liu Yi was stunned for a moment and said: "That's true, it was Li Feng who spoke before and after, not Feng Ziming, this person is extremely arrogant." If you want to convince him, I'm afraid it's not easy. He had seen the imminent embarrassment of the position we were in now, and that was why he had opened his mouth unscrupulously. Although he was very dissatisfied with Zhao Xun, he also knew that he should talk about the actual situation at this moment.
"In this way, it is this Li Feng who is in charge of this Shanyang Mansion, not this Feng Ziming. Li Feng...... Wind Ringing...... That's right, according to Xu Jie, although this Feng Ziming has the ability, he will definitely not be able to defeat the Tang army and support the independence of the army. It seems that the problem is still with this Li Feng. Liu Yi, you say, who is this Li Feng? Situ Wen said slowly.
Liu Yi suppressed the dissatisfaction with Zhao Xun in his heart, pondered carefully for a moment, and said, "My lord, if this Shanyang Mansion is dominated by this Li Feng, I'm afraid the problem is not simple." This Li Feng was co-opted by Feng Ziming on the way to the new army, although Xu Jie, this Li Feng may have something to do with the Xiaoguo Army, we have always disagreed, but now it seems that we have to guard against it! Of course, to be reused, trusted, and even surrendered by Feng Ziming in a very short period of time, maybe Feng Ziming or Li Feng deliberately used the Xiaoguo Army to put pressure on Xu Jie. As for the actual situation, it is difficult for subordinates to judge. However, the people in this Sanyang Mansion are indeed not simple. My lord, haven't we found out the origin of this Li Feng until now? ”
Situ Wen sighed and said: "I found out, this person is from Liangzhou Mansion, an officer of the government army, although there is no witness, but basically the situation can be correct." But Liangzhou Mansion had long fallen into the hands of the Tang Army, so it was difficult to confirm Li Feng's situation. However, Li Feng, who was in the army of the Liangzhou Prefecture, had some skills at that time, but this person was loyal to the imperial court and was more obedient on weekdays. But now this Li Feng is a little unusual, far beyond the level that should be. ”
Liu Yi said: "Maybe he is true, otherwise he would not have made such a big fuss with the Tang army, not to mention defeating the Tang army all the way south to invade the army, but also making the Tang army anxious in the rear of the Tang army, and finally swept away seventy or eighty thousand people." My lord, I don't care about the identity of the other party now, the other party is already very clear about the situation in the land of Yanzhou. If we can't solve the problem of the armed guards, then it will not be a question of whether we can take the land of Yanzhou, but whether we will let Murong Cheng seize the land of Yanzhou. My lord, even if this land of Yanzhou falls into the hands of Xu Jie, or in the hands of others, it can't fall into the hands of Murong Cheng. ”
Situ Wen didn't understand, rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "That's it, I'll go there myself tomorrow, I also want to see what this Li Feng wants." You are right, the land of Yanzhou must not fall into the hands of the Wuwei army, otherwise, it will be a big trouble. ”
