Chapter 18 Finally Becoming a Local Tyrant

With Wu Liang's unremitting efforts, he purchased a relatively concentrated 2,000 acres of land, and the original owner of the land was persuaded by Wu Liang to turn most of them into tenants of the palace, and a small number chose to try their luck outside the city or work in the city.

When Wang Dalun was worried that there would not be so many displaced people to be resettled, the imperial court's approval finally came down, and Fang Wenjin's opinion on the treatment of the Juntun wasteland was approved.

After receiving the news, Wang Dalun hurriedly sent a thousand taels of silver tickets to Zheng Liwei, reminding Zheng Daqianhu that it was time to fulfill the agreement.

According to the people of Zheng's house, Zheng Qianhu did not fall asleep all night and kept walking around the window.

The next day, Zheng Qianhu summoned his subordinates with red eyes. When Zheng Qianhu arrived at the Qianhu Office, all his officers came and were shouting fiercely in the council hall. So much so that Zheng Liwei walked into the conference hall and no one found out.

"Yelling what? Afraid that people outside won't hear it! Zheng Qianhu said angrily, he didn't sleep well all night, he had a bad temper.

"Your Excellency, you're here!" Only then did everyone discover Zheng Liwei's existence.

"If I don't come again, the roof will be torn down by you!" Zheng Liwei said angrily.

"Qianhu, is the imperial court really going to sell all the wasteland in Juntun?" The hundreds of households below asked Zheng Liwei.

"Well, the imperial court has approved Fang Xianzun's request, and all the wasteland in Xingxian County will be auctioned." Zheng Liwei confirmed.

"How can this work? This is our military's land, so why should they let them deal with it locally? Everyone shouted unconvinced.

"Why? With your lack of ability to plant good land, all of them have been put into the wilderness, and most of the current recruits are supported by local support, he is your food and clothing parents, do you say he has power? Zheng Liwei asked rhetorically.

"My lord, if he only auctions off those remote places, we don't have any opinion, anyway, they have been deserted for several years. But he was not satisfied, and many of the tenants in our name were greeted by him, and they were so frightened that they did not dare to plant any more. Seeing that these lands are about to be wasted. We've lost a lot! The hundreds of households said dissatisfiedly.

"Look at your cowardice, it's not like I have more than 500 acres of land gone, but we are soldiers and we must obey the decisions of the imperial court! Besides, you don't have so many people to plant these lands, and the year is so poor, what are you keeping for? It is also an income when it is sold. Zheng Liwei said solemnly.

Zheng Liwei saw the dissatisfied looks of his subordinates, and added: "I promise you here that I will not take a cut of the income from the sale of land, and whoever owns it will belong to whomever it is, how about it?" ”

"Hey! There's nothing to do now, sell it, anyway, there hasn't been much harvest from farming in the past few years! Xie Zhongliang sighed and said, he is afraid of Wang Dalun now, and he doesn't want to provoke Wang Dalun anymore.

"My lord, you have to help us take care of it, we won't sell it if it's cheap!" Seeing that Zheng Liwei didn't support them to make trouble, everyone had to reluctantly agree, just like Xie Zhongliang said, there hasn't been much harvest in the field recently, so it's better to settle down.

"Well, don't worry, I'll take care of it, I will never agree if it's cheap." Zheng Liwei was relieved to see that everyone agreed, and hurriedly promised. At the same time, I stretched out my thumb to Xie Zhongliang in my heart, and cooperated well!

After completing the work of his subordinates, the auction of Juntun wasteland in Xingxian County began to be carried out in an orderly manner.

Through clearing statistics, the military provided 5,000 acres of wasteland, and in the case of internal bid-rigging, Wang Dalun ate these wastelands at a price of two taels per mu.

After the contract was signed, the system reminded Wang Dalun in his mind: "The task is completed, the super hybrid double cropping rice seeds are unlocked, and one penny of silver can be exchanged for one kilogram of seeds!" ”

"Double cropping rice seeds? How much can this yield be? Wang Dalun asked.

"In the case of chemical fertilizer and scientific farming, the yield per mu can reach one ton!" The system says.

"If you don't have fertilizer, can you get half the yield?" Wang Dalun asked with concern.

"Not so much, about four hundred kilograms at most!"

"Oh, that's not bad, it's about the same as the yield of my later generations in the countryside." Wang Dalun said with admiration.

"This thing just doesn't taste very good!" The system reminded.

"In troubled times, it's good to be able not to go hungry! No matter how bad the taste is, it tastes better than Guanyin soil. Wang Dalun said disapprehantly.

That night, Wang Dalun quietly found Fang Wenjin, and the two hid in the study to talk about things, and even Qian Shijin did not participate. But when Wang Dalun took out the double-cropping rice seeds and told Fang Wenjin that he could harvest them twice and the total output could have twelve stones, Fang Wenjin was shocked again.

"Virtuous son-in-law, can this kind of rice really have such a high yield?" Fang Wenjin asked in disbelief.

"Yes! There is no problem with this, as long as the water source is sufficient and the management is properly managed, there is no problem with the output of twelve stones, but this thing does not taste very good. Wang Dalun said honestly.

"As long as you can fill your stomach, who cares about the taste?" Fang Wenjin also said disapprovingly.

"But my father-in-law, this hybrid double cropping rice has one of the biggest flaws, that is, it can only be planted for one year, and if you want to plant it in the second year, you have to buy it again." Wang Dalun remembered the biggest flaw of hybrid rice.

"Can't you keep the seeds?" Fang Wenjin asked.

"The seeds can be kept, but this second-generation seed doesn't have that much production." Wang Dalun explained.

"And what about the price of this seed?" Fang Wenjin asked with concern.

"Six coins and a bucket of silver!" Wang Dalun explained.

"Oh, that's not too expensive, but it's too expensive for a farmer, isn't it?" Fang Wenjin frowned.

"If someone can publicize and promote, and farmers can recoup their capital after planting for one year, I think everyone will be willing to plant by the next year." Wang Dalun said.

"So where do you think it's right to plant?" Fang Wenjin asked.

"Father-in-law, I heard that your Fang family owns a large area of land in Hubei, especially paddy fields, right?" Wang Dalun asked.

"Well, the entire family's land together has more than 10,000 acres, and if you count the charge, there are more than 30,000 acres." Fang Wenjin said.

"Father-in-law, we have discussed that there may still be a drought in the next few years, and the reduction of grain production is already a foregone conclusion, and if the situation changes, then food is more important than gold and silver. We must take advantage of the fact that the situation is still stable and reserve more food, after all, we have food at home, and we don't panic! Wang Dalun said.

"Well, your words are reasonable, planting these lands in Xingxian County is just to build a foundation for my future promotion, but Xingxian County is located in a border city, and the land is barren, and the drought may continue in the next few years, and your land can only maintain your expenses."

Fang Wenjin concluded: "If you want to control a large amount of grain, you have to make a fuss in the main grain-producing areas such as the two lakes. ”

"Well, father-in-law, so I think we should explore a new way to control the land, and we can only control the grain if we have a lot of land at our disposal." Wang Dalun took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"A new approach to control? That's why you're going to lease land for the border army? You want to give it a try, don't you? Fang Wenjin's mind turned quickly, and he immediately reacted to Wang Dalun's intention to rent land for the border army.

"Yes, I don't think we should always try to keep the land in our name, which is exhausting and easy to offend people. We still have to keep a low profile now, and there is no need to make enemies everywhere. ”

"There is growth! It's like that when you are a person and a person does, if you have more friends, you will have more roads, but if you have more enemies, you will not be able to move an inch! Fang Wenjin said approvingly

"You have to remember that don't be afraid to offend people when you do things, if you don't dare to offend people, then others will think you are weak and incompetent; But don't offend people easily, unless you have to, if you offend people, you have to remember one thing, don't give him a chance to turn the tables! Fang Wenjin looked at Wang Dalun and said solemnly.

"I look at your dealings, although you can compete with each other a few times, but usually I see that you are still a little weak in dealing with things, and it is good to be kind to others, but occasionally you have to show your claws and bare your teeth, so that people dare not provoke you easily!" Fang Wenjin admonished.

"Got it!" Wang Dalun replied, it seems that he is still deeply influenced by later generations, he is an otaku, and the society advocates harmony, so don't use it without violence, so there will be things like being bullied by fools.

"How's your team practice?" Fang Wenjin asked.

"I've almost finished practicing, and now I've invited a former general in the army, and he still has two hands in training, and now the regimental training has made great progress." Wang Dalun replied.

"I heard it's a disabled person?"

"Yes! Participated in the battle of Salhu, and became a waste after the bloody battle. Wang Dalun introduced.

"Well, although he is a waste now, I am not afraid that he will pull the team over, but you still have to communicate with the team more, you have to ensure that this armed force is in your own hands, and let them recognize you alone!" Fang Wenjin nodded.

Wang Dalun nodded hurriedly, Mao Taizu's teachings can't be forgotten, it seems that in the future, you still have to care more about the team training team, don't eat and drink by yourself, and be pulled away at a critical moment.

"Although I have never led an army, the army controls people in just a few points: driving them with profit, tying them with righteousness, pushing them with grace, and using law to might. As long as you do these things, then you will be able to control the team well. Fang Wenjin pointed.

"I see that your current team is just doing it with profit, it's not enough, if there is a real fight, they won't listen to you at all." Fang Wenjin reminded.

"You have to let them understand who the real leader is, you have to use various methods to control the backbone of the team in peacetime, and you have to give them small favors from time to time, and at the same time, you must also be serious about your military law, so that everyone does not dare to disobey your orders! If you do the above points, you can really master this team. ”

Hearing Fang Wenjin's words, Wang Dalun suddenly realized that this is what a real commander should do. I think that back then, Yuan Datou and a certain bald head did not use these methods to master the troops in their hands and lay a big foundation for themselves.
