Wang Huaqiang was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Hongdae, it's really difficult for you, I said casually in order to boost morale, you really helped me win this policy, thank you so much, if this thing doesn't work out, I will either have to be untrustworthy to the soldiers, or I will leave a bad impression on Gao Servant Shooting." ”

Pei Shiju said: "The two of us are advancing and retreating together in this matter, since you made this promise to the soldiers in order to boost morale at that time, then if I didn't object on the spot, I would naturally take this matter with you." What's more, your mention is not excessive. ”

Wang Huaqiang's face changed slightly, and he was now also having a headache about this matter: "Hongdae, is it possible that you really want to open the treasury of Panyu and let these three thousand Xiangzhou sergeants move, even if you have the right to act cheaply, what will the defenders of Panyu City think, and what will the forty thousand slang soldiers brought by Feng Ang think?" ”

Pei Shiju smiled slightly: "I won't tell you, Hua Qiang, I've been having a headache about this matter these days, the post-war policy can be taken slowly, but the soldiers' rewards after the victory are to be cashed out immediately, the states and counties along the way have been looted by the rebels, and there is no treasury silver to send to them, and finally arrived in Panyu, this money must be sent, but they can't be allowed to enter Panyu City."

I now have a good reason, that is, the soldiers under General Murong are suffering from epidemics, and it is not suitable to enter Panyu City now, and many of them are not suffering from miasma, but with infectious diseases such as cold and cholera, and the home remedies of the wheat iron rod cannot cure this disease, so they are not allowed to enter the city.

But in order to fulfill our promise to them, we can move some of the money from the treasury in Panyu City and send it to them. In order to do a little more like it. We can transport this money to the barracks. Set up a few large pots, boil water, say that it is disinfection and epidemic prevention, and then distribute the money to the soldiers after boiling, now I don't know how much money there is in Panyu City, but I want to send 1,000 yuan to each soldier, 2,000 to the officer, if it is not enough, I will pay an IOU. After the reward brought to Lingnan by the imperial court arrived, it was also distributed. ”

Wang Huaqiang calculated, the price of rice here in Lingnan is more expensive than in Jiangnan, about eight to ten yuan for a bucket of rice, one stone of rice is enough for an adult to eat for a year, that is, eighty to one hundred yuan, after the war, there is a reward of 1,000 yuan, which is enough to satisfy these soldiers.

He nodded and continued, "This is how the reward is handled. Presumably the soldiers will accept what I call the division of the fields. According to three times that of the mainland, each male has 240 acres of open fields and 60 acres of Yongye fields. ”

Pei Shiju said with a smile: "It's even higher than this standard, Gao Servant replied, saying that Lingnan is vast and sparsely populated, and it is necessary to attract people to go, that standard is a little lower, he waved his pen, saying that if the Xiangzhou sergeants want to stay in Lingnan this time, they can let them choose the state and county where they are located, 400 acres of open fields per person, 100 acres of Yongye fields, and if the whole family comes over, the woman can get another 200 acres of open fields, 50 acres of Yongye fields, and there is no need to pay taxes for 20 years, but they need to serve forced labor. ”

Wang Huaqiang said "um" and nodded: "This is probably the most preferential policy in the country, there is nothing more attractive than this, that is, it can be done in Lingnan, but why is it not good for Gao Servant to do it to the end, and even the conscription is exempted?" ”

Pei Shiju said: "Gao Servant said in his reply that Lingnan was badly damaged this time, the mountain road from Lingbei to Lingnan needs to be widened, the road from Donghengzhou to Panyu and Shixing needs to be repaired, and a large number of Han people will pour in in the future, and a large number of wasteland needs to be opened up, as well as repairing the war-torn city wall, all need manpower, unless the barbarians go out of the mountains to settle like our Han people, otherwise they will not do this, so a year and a month of forced labor can not be saved, anyway, when serving the forced service, they also take care of the food, and pay the wages, although it is hard. But it's faster than farming at home. ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "Actually, I had an idea just now, why not turn these veterans into the government and military system in the mainland, and set up hussar generals' mansions and chariot cavalry generals' mansions in various states to manage them in a unified manner, these people have fought and have combat experience, if a thousand people are put in one place and hold three or four important transportation points along the way from Donghengzhou to Panyu, isn't it better than letting them become farmers completely?" ”

Pei Shiju looked at Wang Huaqiang, his eyes rolled straight, and after a long time, he said: "Huaqiang, since the demise of Nanchen, the emperor has abolished the government soldiers in the world, especially those in Jiangnan and Kandong, and only left some government soldiers in Guanzhong and the border areas. ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a straight face: "Now the government soldiers in the Guanzhong area are not all soldiers, not production, as long as one or two months of agricultural leisure time is taken every year to carry out the necessary military training, even if there is something here in Lingnan, it is just a barbarian trouble, not like the Turks in the north come and go like the wind, need a standing army to guard, this kind of half-peasant and half-soldier government soldiers are enough to deal with."

Of course, the arsenal must be sufficient, and if it really starts, a state and county must have at least seven or eight hundred bows and crossbows, otherwise it will be difficult to resist, just like this Donghengzhou, if there is a thousand crossbows, you can open the city to fight. ”

Pei Shiju lowered his head and thought about it, and finally raised his head, his expression calm: "Hua Qiang, I will find an opportunity to report this statement to Gao Servant, I haven't thought about whether this government military system is feasible now, or let his old man decide, the fundamental problem in Lingnan is that there are too few Han people, too many barbarians, as high as millions, if we want to gain a foothold here, on the one hand, we can attract mainland households to come, and on the other hand, we have to find a way to assimilate the slang and Dong people here."

The marriage between Mrs. Xian and the Feng family is a very successful example, these slang people can go out of the mountains, like us Han people farming for a living, can live a life of farming, why bother to suffer from those poisonous insects and beasts in the deep mountains and old forests, to the surrounding slang Dong people to preach the superiority of our Han way of life, so that they are not afraid of our force, but envy our culture and production capacity, this is the royal road of public security Lingnan. ”

Wang Huaqiang smiled and nodded: "Hongdae, this royal road of yours, at least I can't see it for the time being, you are the governor ambassador, now that the rebellion has been basically quelled, you still have to patrol here for a while, and I am going back to Daxing to shoot back to the high servant, do you have any letters or twists that I need to bring with me?" ”

Pei Shiju said: "Well, when you leave, I will hand over the list of military exploits reported this time to you and bring it back with you the mention of your military system, and the two of us will jointly play it." ”

Wang Huaqiang said with a smile: "There is one more thing, that is, on the way back to Daxing this time, I should meet Wang Shiji, who is marching here, he is in a high position, and this time he must be dissatisfied with our efforts to rob him of his counterinsurgency, you are the supreme commander of this march, do you have anything to say about him?" ”

Pei Shiju shook his head calmly: "There is no explanation, what Gao Servant Shot directly won for me this time is the ambassador of the governor of Lingnan Province, and what you are given is also the official position of the head of the march of Panyu Road, which gives us the power to bypass Wang Shiji and lead our own troops to quell the rebellion, and now that the rebellion has been quelled, there is no need for us to bow to Wang Shiji."

Hua Qiang, but as far as I have always observed, the contradiction between you and Wang Shiji should not be as simple as a simple robbery, I heard that you and he are still relatives of the same clan, but they make them look like enemies, why is this? ”

Wang Huaqiang thought of Wang Shiji's face and was angry, anyway, there was no one around now, so he simply vomited: "Hongdae, you don't know, although this Wang Shiji is our same clan, he has been staring at our family's family business, and he used to take advantage of the fact that his father was just at home, and he brought someone to the door to rob him.

The reason why I accepted Wang Zhu's invitation and crossed the river with him was that I wanted to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield and ensure the safety of our family. ”

Pei Shiju nodded: "I see, Wang Shiji is a small person and ruthless, he did this kind of thing, and Gao Servant also knows a little about his actions, but it is not good to offend this person in person." (To be continued......)
