In late September, the resolution on the allocation of land for military households began to come out, and the organization of Tunding and Minfu to reclaim land between Yanling and Qingpu was 1 million acres of land at the initial stage, which was used for the use of military households to allocate land.

After the East China Sea War, the soldiers of the Wuwei Army have carried out a field allocation, and another ten acres in Yanling, if the military households are unwilling to move to Yanling, the acres of land will be recovered by Yongyang Mansion at the price of half a gold per mu. In addition to returning the sale money, another ten acres were allocated to Yanling, if the military households are unwilling to move to Yanling, the number of acres of land will be recovered by Yongyang Mansion at the price of half a gold per mu.

Most of the officers and men of the five schools are private soldiers of various families, and they are allocated 15 acres of land in Yanling, in order to prevent each family from contributing funds to continue to control the military households, if the military households are unwilling to move to Yanling, they are not allowed to participate in the distribution of fields. The acres of land should be recovered by Yongyang Mansion free of charge.

Taking care of the interests of the Yongyang family, and in order to attract the attention of the Yongyang family to the wasteland of Yanling, the number of acres recovered by Yongyang Mansion was finally placed at the market price.

If a military household is willing to move its household registration to Yanling County but has land elsewhere, the land will be recovered by Yongyang Mansion at the market price, and the corresponding number of acres of land can be purchased at the price of one mu and one gold in Yanling.

The price of Yongyang land is about three gold per mu of paddy fields, and one mu of dry land is worth about one gold. The land in Yanling has not been cultivated for decades, and the soil fertility is naturally not comparable to other places.

There are two sources of the Yongyang Guard, one is to collect a large number of displaced people during the East China Sea War, and the other is to come from the private soldiers of various families and forts, the military households are all poor and weak, and there is no land, even if Yanling makes up for the acres, each household only has 15 to 20 acres of land.

When the "Resolution on the Distribution of Military Households" was handed over to Xu Ruyu, Zhong Ji saw it on the side and said: "There is no shortage of economic talents in the political hall. ”

Xu Ru asked foolishly: "Why do you say this?" ”

Zhong Ji said: "In Yanling, the intercropping and recultivation to cultivate the fields is too large, which will inevitably cause the phenomenon of slowing down the yield year by year. Based on this calculation, the military household owns 15 to 20 acres of land, and there is nothing left except for the regular use and payment of taxes. According to the customary practice of reducing or reducing the land tax for three years, the surplus of the three-year tax payment is not enough to make up for the cost of the military households building houses in Yanling. This shows the accuracy of the calculation of the political hall. ”

Xu Ruyu looked at Mei Tierui, and Mei Tierui said calmly: "If it is a dry field, it is really what the son said." ”

Xu Ru smiled foolishly: "You and Deqian are really not simple. He turned around and looked at Zhong Ji and asked, "Ziji, you are proficient in economic calculations, if you reclaim all the allocated fields into paddy fields, how many manpower do you still need to mobilize?" ”

Zhong Ji said: "You might as well send Tunding and Minfu to build houses, but call on military households to participate in reclamation, and by the spring of next year, these million acres of paddy fields should be able to be reclaimed and catch up with spring ploughing." It's just that there are also drawbacks to paddy fields, which can be equipped with a little field to teach mulberry tea and other things. ”

Mei Tierui said with a smile: "When the Zi Ji was in the Yanling Gang, he made the Yanling Gang rich and the first, and the Zi Ji was here to take care of the affairs of the four counties of Ruyu Economy, so I can rest assured." ”

War zones will be set up in the four counties, and in the future, the reform of the prefectures and counties will be deepened, and the four counties will set up a separate prefecture.

The reform of the prefecture and county system of Qingjiang Prefecture was carried out far more thoroughly than that of Yongyang, except for the northern part of Qingjiangyi, the eastern and northern parts of Chongyi, and the eastern and northern areas of Yueqing that did not carry out the reform of the prefecture and county system, and the rest of the areas newly set up seven counties of Lishui, Huaiyu, Beiling, Fengling, Yantan, Yucase, and Yunwu, plus the original Fuzhou, Chongyi, Yueqing, Xuancheng, and Qingjiang Wuyi, a total of 12 counties. The twelve counties are divided into three areas, with Lishui, Huaiyu, Beiling, Fengling, Xuancheng, Yunwu, and Yuxi counties as a district, which is also the center of Xu Ruyu's influence in Qingjiang Prefecture, of which Yunwu County is under the autonomy of Baiyi.

Yueqing, Yantan and Fuzhou counties are a district, this area is mainly used as the defense depth of the Puji bandits in Wenling City, and the site of Fuzhou New City has moved to the southeast dozens of miles compared with the old city site, which is closer to Yueqing City. The Baiyi clan undertook the construction of the three cities of Yantan, Fuzhou, and Yunwu, which relieved Xu Boying and made him feel ashamed. Fortunately, he is now trapped in Quanzhou with Zi Yangqiu, but it is Gu Mingshan who is presiding over the government affairs of Yueqing District, and bears the revenge of Mingxi and Liang Bao for depriving his people too much. Because Lishui City does not pay a penny of salary for the construction of these three new cities, even the materials used to build the city are mostly mined by the Baiyi people. Baiyi sent nearly half of the labor force in Wuling Mountain for this purpose.

The two counties of Chongyi and Qingjiang were set up as one district, and Ban Biao presided over the government affairs, and the two cities were repaired on the deserted city, and the wages of the laborers in the two places were paid by the acres of land, and two or three more counties could have been set up in the north of the two counties, but considering a variety of factors, they finally gave up, and the prefecture and county stopped in the two counties of Qingjiang and Chongyi.

Under the jurisdiction of Xu Ruyu's forces, the outlines of the five regions have been revealed, but they have formed two centers of Lishui River Valley and Yongyang, and Xu Ruyu's forces will also expand outward with two centers until they become one, but the undercurrent of competition between the two central areas will not stop for a moment.

But compared to Yongyang's strong enemies, Lishui is much easier.

To the north of Yongyang is the overlord of the Chen clan in the southeast, to the west is the old enemy Baishi Xu Bodang, and to the south is across the river from the Wuzhou Mansion of the Zhu family, and there is almost no possibility of expanding power in the near future.

Qingjiang in addition to the Liyang Mansion of Zhujia in the north, the elite soldiers of the Yuhang Mansion of the Fan family in the east were pinned down in the coastal area, although Wenling City is entrenched in the Puji bandits, but it is a strong enemy that Xu Ruyu is currently focusing on, as long as the victory against the Puji bandits is won again, it is almost certain that Lishui's power will expand to the east; Beyond Huaiyu to the west is Jing County, which is fought over by the clans; Beyond the Wuling Mountain to the south is the Zhangzhou Mansion of Southern Fujian, Zhangzhou is not much better than the previous Qingjiang situation, and it is inevitable to look for good opportunities in Southern Fujian.

The only thing that Yongyang can compete with Lishui is that his financial resources are not within Lishui's reach, and his huge financial resources support nearly twice as many armaments as Lishui.

The people of Yongyang Mansion who tied their fate and family fate to Xu Ruyu naturally hoped that the focus of Xu Ruyu's forces would tend to Yongyang Mansion, and they naturally attached great importance to the development of the four counties of Yanling. Not only did Mei Tierui and Shen Deqian have such a consciousness, but even the princes of the Political Affairs Hall also hoped that the Political Affairs Hall would eventually play a leading role in the political operation under the jurisdiction of Xu Ruyu's forces, and consciously or unconsciously supported Xu Ruyu's military system reorganization.

Although the "Resolution on the Allocation of Land by Military Households" limits the number of acres of land that military households can finally obtain, this limit guarantees the benefits that the family may obtain, and the princes of the political hall will not give in, but in terms of technology, Xu Ruyu is still given considerable support, and the matching of fields is dry land or paddy fields, the "Resolution" avoids talking about it, and there is not much resistance to the financial support for Yanling in the future, which can be seen.

If Shen Deqian didn't come to Yanling to preside over the government affairs of the four counties, then Zhong Ji would be the natural choice, and Mei Tierui could not say a few words at this time?

Zhong Ji is also a thoughtful person, so he naturally understands Mei Tierui's intentions, and thinks: Xu Ruyu rarely interferes in government affairs now, although he is appreciated by Xu Ruyu, but without the support of Mei Tierui and Shen Deqian, I am afraid that the resistance will not be small in the four coastal counties. said: "The children all rely on the teachings of the princes of the political hall. ”

Xu Ruyu glanced at the two of them and said, "Mr. Shao, Deqian, and you are all extremely clever people, only Mr. Boying, Zhang Ji, and Mr. Mingshan are in line with my heart." ”

Mei Tierui saw that Xu Ruyu scolded but had no shame on his face, so it was nothing. Zhong Ji sincerely apologized in fear: "Zhong Ji exceeded his duty. ”

Xu Ruyu said: "The Yanling Order is the head of the Four Orders of Jinghai, and if the son wants to serve as the Yanling Order, he will be the guardian of the Jinghai Mansion in the future, and it all depends on your merits in presiding over the relocation of the people and reclamation, I can't decide, and Tie Rui can't decide either." ”

In early October, although the distribution of land was not actually carried out, because of the concentration of military households, the statistics were generally completed, more than 670,000 mu of land were allocated, 330,000 mu were recovered, and the recovered acres of land were pre-sold to offset the outgoing, and the government treasury gained 200,000 gold. Most of the military households of the five schools participated in the distribution of fields, which made Xu Ruyu let go of his unyielding heart, and the Yongyang families did not maliciously obstruct the reorganization of the military system.

The Shen family, the Mei family, and the Xu family gave up their share of the acres of land that they should have been allocated to the solid households, sacrificing short-term profits in exchange for long-term political prestige, and Shao Haitang, who was far away in Qingjiang, couldn't help but scold the "old fox".

In mid-October, military households moved to the north of Yanling one after another, and most of the families of the military families of the five schools were attached to various families, and there were very few private property in the fields, and there was no delay in dealing with the fields and houses, and the first batch of 50,000 migrants were mostly the families of the five schools. Since the relocation of the people, the history of Yongyang's private army is over, and the five school armies are truly dissolved in Xu Ruyu's direct army, but it will take time to integrate them to achieve the same combat power as the armed guards.

On October 14, Yun Qingxu and his entourage returned from Wanling, took Tairu Mansion, and came to Yanling City.

At the beginning of October, Zhang Zhongdao rode through the territory of Longyouyi and went to Wanling to attend the wedding of his brother Zhang Jidao and Chen Shuyu by passing through Biling Mansion. When passing through Longyou City, Zhang Zhongdao hesitated for a long time in front of the closed south city gate, and saw that no one in the city had the courage to come out to meet, and left with three laughs. This time, he returned with Yun Qingxu.

Before Zhang Zhongdao entered Xu Ruyu's mansion in Yanling City, he shouted loudly: "Ruyu, you must allow me to get drunk three times this time." ”

Xu Ruyu strode out of the house, looked at Xiao Wuye, who was handsome and resolute behind Zhang Zhongdao, gave a long salute and said, "I look forward to seeing each other all night, and we can finally see each other." ”
