"The Art of War"! "The city is not attacked, the land is not disputed, and the king's order is not affected.

After the generals expressed their determination to conquer Murowei, Chen Kefu talked with Li Benlei and other generals again, which was the end of this troubled night.

The morning bell in the city has sounded, and a new day has begun. When the generals dispersed, Chen Kefu asked Mao Xi and other generals to stay and discuss alone.

For Chen Kefu, a Su Wei staying in Liaodong is just the ears of a deaf man, purely for decoration. After being in Liaodong for so long, Su Wei knew each other very well, and he didn't need Chen Kefu to be embarrassed, he himself didn't go out of the house all day long, drank tea every day, and watched some Goguryeo ** songs and dances.

But in a few days, Yang Guang's son, the prince of Liao, and thousands of officials will arrive in Liaodong. These people don't dare to do anything, and they need to be careful to deal with it. Especially knowing that this King of Liao was not an honest lord in the past, his arrival made Chen Kefu also worried.

"Uncle Mao, how is the implementation of the local armor protection system in Liaodong?" Chen Kefu looked at Mao Xi, who is now in charge of the internal affairs of Liaodong. Although Yang Guang engaged in the county system, the central government dispatched officials. However, the water will be flooded, and the soldiers will come, and Chen Kefu has long expected this. The lords, nobles, and landlords among the Liao people were all wiped out by Chen Kefu, and even the family forces had all been split and scattered everywhere.

Chen Kefu sent people to implement the armor protection system in Liaodong in order to obtain actual control of the locality. Even if the imperial court now sends a whole set of officials, it is very difficult to grasp the real power of the local government. The bottom layer is all occupied by Chen Kefu's people, and when the county officials of the imperial court arrive, they will find that they can't do anything except those names and official offices.

In the past, most of the local governments relied on the local aristocratic landlords and gentry, or clan forces, to carry out local management. But now, the conditions for all this are gone. They only came to find that their rights had long been hollowed out. Especially in Liaodong, behind these people, Chen Kefu is still backed.

"Don't worry, we have sent more than 30,000 people and retired disabled veterans to serve as Jiazheng, Baozheng, and Lizheng in various places, and basically have captured the entire Liaodong place.

Those court officials who had just been sent would not have been able to sort out the affairs of the yamen in a few months. When they want to really master the place, they don't have a year or two, don't think about it. Mao Xi said with a smile.

Chen Kefu nodded with satisfaction, he just wanted to replace the original local forces with the armor protection system, and weave a big net that obeyed him in Liaodong.

"How's the land allocated? Did the Liao people also get the fields? "Although Goguryeo was pacified militarily, Goguryeo is also a country that has been around for hundreds of years, and it is unrealistic to want to completely assimilate them, so they can only come slowly. But at the very least, these Goguryeo people have to be honest, and they can't be allowed to poke any problems in Chen Kefu's backyard.

Another civil official from Chenjiazhuang said, "Your Highness, rest assured, we have complete paperwork for the Goguryeo people." The acres of land in various places have been measured, and all the Goguryeo people have been redivided.

The Goguryeo people's land is half that of the Sui immigrants from Liaodong, and those who are landless are now renting our fields for the time being, and they will belong to them after five years. Those Goguryeo slaves,

Most of them were distributed to various workshops and mines, and only a small number were distributed to our Juntun Granges in various places for farming.

Everything is normal, spring will start in a while, and then we will lease all the immigrant and Liao farm tools, seeds, and ploughing cattle to ensure the completion of spring ploughing! "The marshal's strategy is really good, killing all the original noble leaders, and most of the current Liao people are landless. Now we have not only given them their freedom status, but also given them land to plant, which is much stronger for them than in the Goguryeo era. Everyone was very happy, although those Liao people had some complaints when they moved the people, but now they have basically subsided.

In particular, the reclamation order issued by you, Marshal, ordered that as long as only one-third of the land reclaimed must be handed over to the government, and the remaining two-thirds should be owned by them and exempt from tax for five years. Chen Kefu smiled, "Reclamation, reclamation, there are many wastelands in Liaodong, and I am happy to cultivate as much as they want." If there is more land, there will be more grain, and food is the foundation. Uncle Mao, are our grain reserves in Liaodong still sufficient? "When Chen Kefu occupied half of Liaodong, he already had nearly 10 million stone grain, and later took the whole of Goguryeo, especially after killing all the noble lords, 90% of the grain of the entire Goguryeo fell into his hands. Now he has nearly 20 million stone of grain in his hands, which is equivalent to nearly ninety percent of the grain in Huiluo, the largest of the three major warehouses of the Great Sui. There is surplus food at home, and there is no shortage in his heart, and it is precisely with food that Chen Kefu dares to immigrate to Liaodong without sparing his spare effort. ,

"Marshal rest assured, in fact, after this war, we have a large number of cattle, sheep and horses in our hands, except for horses and cattle as war horses and farming and transportation, all sheep are used for food. With these meat supplements, the consumption of food is not fast. In addition, we have already purchased grain from all the caravans that came to Liaodong to trade according to the marshal's orders, and now a large amount of grain is transported to Liaodong from all over the country every day. Wheat, millet, beans, rice, grain, beef and mutton and other foods are constantly transported to Liaodong, and the grain transported every day has far exceeded the grain consumed. In each of the seven major cities in Liaodong, we have built a granary, ready to reserve another 20 million stone of grain on top of the reserve of 20 million stone grain. "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If there is a rebellion, then the food must be ready. Although there is chaos in all parts of the Central Plains now, there is still grain in many places. In addition, the families of those big families and landlords and gentry basically hoarded a large amount of grain, as long as Chen Kefu was willing to pay the price, no matter how famine there was, there would also be a large amount of grain transported by those all-encompassing grain merchants. It's just that the price he has to pay is higher.

The Great Sui has never lacked food, but what is lacking is the inaction of the government. The grain in the three major granaries of the Great Sui has a full 30 million or 40 million stone of grain, and the government offices in various places have specially built righteous warehouses. The grain in these warehouses was donated by the common people and landlords and nobles in good years, and in times of disaster, these were the life-saving food of the poor. In addition, there are some liquidations, where the government hoards grain specifically to settle food prices when they are too high.

One of the reasons why so many people starved to death later was that there were too many robbers from all over the country who attacked the granaries. Second, the government refused to release grain, and for example, at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although there was grain in the three major granaries, the transportation with various places had already been interrupted, and the grain could not be transported. According to the official history, some of the grain in the granary of the Sui Dynasty went through the war until the time of Tang Gaozong.

Haven't finished eating yet. can reach the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and you can imagine how much grain the Sui Dynasty stockpiled during the heyday of the emperor's rule.

And now, Chen Kefu is going to buy grain from the granaries of those big grain merchants and landlords at any cost. As long as there is food, no matter how bitter and cold Liaodong is, it will become a paradise in the eyes of those hungry people everywhere at the end of the Sui Dynasty.

Food does not have to be produced, it can also be bought, and it can be grabbed.

"In addition, our secret money furnace in Beisha City has also been opened. At present, in accordance with the marshal's proposal, we have not only hurried to mint five meat coins day and night, but also opened two special furnaces to mint gold and silver coins respectively. Silver coins are worth 15 baht each, and gold coins are worth 5 baht of meat. At our current scale, we can mint 100,000 copper coins, 1 million silver coins, and 100,000 gold coins a year. Uncle Zhang, who was also from Chenjiazhuang, said and took out a string of copper coins and a few gold and silver coins.

Minting money is actually a very simple process, and even many merchants and nobles have open furnaces to mint it. But sī making money, that's a big crime. Back then, Yang Jian once ordered that those who dared to mint money would be beheaded by their homes. However, now, the money system in the DPRK and China has become more and more chaotic, and a large number of copper coins mixed with jokes and other materials have flowed into the market. And the copper coins made by the government, because the dissolved copper coins can make a lot of profits, resulting in less and less good money, and more and more white money.

The imperial court even issued all kinds of iron coins with one as five and one as ten, which seriously interfered with the commercial order. Liaodong's commodity trade is now very prosperous, and the daily trading volume is very large. Since Chen Kefu opened the Four Seas Money Village, he has had to exchange various copper coins every day. There will even be situations where there is no money available, and everyone will have to barter. When Chen Kefu saw this situation, he simply asked Uncle Mao to mint money.

It's illegal to mint money, but it's easy to mint it. This thing doesn't look like the banknotes of later generations, and there is any anti-counterfeiting technology. This thing can be cast by anyone with a little power, and the key is the strict criminal law of the imperial court. As long as you build a few sets of money furnaces and open a few sets of fan money, then as long as there is copper, the money will be cast like water. While Chen Kefu sent people to mine, he also collected those bronze artifacts and melted them, and even the bronze Buddha statues in some temples in Goguryeo were melted and minted by him. The amount of copper coins is large and the amount of copper consumes a lot, so Chen Kefu simply minted gold and silver coins again.

The currency of this era was only copper coins and silk as official currency, and the rest of the gold was given by the emperor to the government and meritorious officials. There were also aristocratic families who collected gold and could trade it, but it was not in circulation. As for silver, less silver was found in the Central Plains at this time, and silver was less than gold. Chen Kefu simply made gold and silver coins instead of gold and silver ingots. One silver coin is equivalent to a hundred copper coins, and these transactions are convenient and easy to exchange, and can promote circulation and commodity transactions. ,

The sī money was minted in the furnace, but on the other hand, there was an expanding exchange money village such as the Four Seas Money Village, but in a short period of time, this kind of sī money in Liaodong has become the most recognized currency for all merchants. The copper coins of the Central Plains flowed into Liaodong with the merchants, and as a result, they were gathered into the Liaodong Coin Workshop by the four seas, where all kinds of miscellaneous coins were melted down and turned into coins minted in Liaodong again, and then flowed into the Central Plains together with gold and silver coins.

Mining, copper melting, coinage, circulation, such a circle, Liaodong not only standardized coins, promote commercial trade, and a more critical thing is that coinage is high-risk at the same time, in fact, it is also a profiteering industry. In fact, the capital only needs about 700 yuan, and the profit of gold and silver coins is smaller, but the profit is higher when mining is made by itself. Chen Kefu is a big Liaodong one-handed, and he will naturally not let go of such a lucrative industry. A steady stream of money is minted every day, which means that Chen Kefu is making a lot of money every day.

Liaodong Wuzheng money, Liaodong silver coin, Liaodong gold coin, Liaodong silver ticket, Liaodong Sihai Money, Liaodong mine, Liaodong coinage, Chen Kefu established a complete industrial chain in Liaodong under the power in his hands, and it is also an industrial chain that can control the economy of Liaodong.

There was food, there were people, there was money, everything was under his control of his efforts.

"Your Highness, although money and food are important, they are not the most important, and the most important thing for us is the military power in our hands. In a few days, the holy decree will arrive in Liaodong, and then our soldiers and horses will be divided into three, I wonder if His Highness has already made arrangements? Another Liu Bodao.

In troubled times, grass is king. Only those with big fists are reasonable, without military power, no matter how rich and food, they can only make wedding clothes for others.

Of course, it is impossible for Chen Kefu to make wedding clothes for others, so he designed to let the Murowei people make trouble, in order to provoke the war again, so that he has soldiers and horses in his hands. However, even if he fights with the Murowei people, it is impossible for him to dispatch all the soldiers and horses if he fights one Murowei. The rest will still be divided according to the will of the imperial court.

"Government soldiers, county soldiers, and town soldiers, these three sets of military systems are different. In general, the government soldiers were to be scattered all over the country to cultivate. The county soldiers are to be stationed in the lost counties, while the town soldiers are to be stationed in the nine key passes in Liaodong. Therefore, the government soldiers are relatively not too important, and we can temporarily include the new soldiers in the generals, as well as some generals and colonels who do not have a clear foundation, into the government soldiers. Chen Kefu preached seriously, more than 100,000 horses, he has not yet fully mastered. And now,

This three-level division plan..., it is just right to disperse this part of the soldiers and horses to various places first.

"The soldiers of the county are the soldiers and horses stationed in the great cities of the counties, and this part is twenty-one thousand. There are 27,000 soldiers and horses in the nine towns, and these soldiers and horses control the most critical positions in Liaodong, these places are the most important, and the soldiers and horses of the nine towns must all be our henchmen. "So my plan is that the three armies of Zhang He, Liu Tiezhu, and Hu Hai will be converted into government soldiers and disarmed and returned to agriculture. The three armies of Lu Shishen, Mao Yi, and Chen Gui were divided into two, one was the county soldiers, and the remaining most elite part was the soldiers and horses of the Nine Towns. And my Chinese army and the battalions of Regardless of Prefecture have also been transferred to government soldiers, but they do not need to disarm, they will move with me to Buyeo this time and attack Murowei at any time. As for the other Army-Breaking Lecture Hall, the General Staff Department of the Marshal's Office, the Special Service Department, the Investigation Department, the Police Prosecutor's Department, and the Military Police Department, most of them turned to underground and secret activities, and a small part continued to go north with the army. "40,000 people were converted into government soldiers and temporarily disarmed. 40,000 were turned into county soldiers and town soldiers, standing soldiers and horses, guarding the major cities in eastern Liaodong and the Guanjian Pass. The remaining 40,000 elite soldiers and horses were ostensibly included in the government army, but they would soon be requisitioned again to attack Murowei, and Yibi continued to maintain a state of assembly, which was always in the hands of Chen Kefu.
