"Fields and farmers are our foundation, there must be a red line for this, no one can cross this red line, if we cross the line, we will be unstable!" When Zhao Jin said this, many people wondered why the word "red line" was used, but everyone agreed with this truth, there is no panic in food, and there is no stability in agriculture, this is a wise saying.

When Zhao Jin proclaimed himself a general, and the Zhao Ziying in Xuzhou was changed to the Zhao Family's army, the news of the imperial court about the suppression of Xuzhou also came here, and Zhao Jin and his partners naturally knew about it earlier than the public, but after Xuzhou and the surrounding people knew the news, they did not have such a big reaction as last time, and no one from Hejiazhuang went to move back and move back, but there were rich and noble families who sent servants to the street to take a look, and they ignored it when they found that it was as usual.

According to the news from the Zhizhou Yamen, when Tong Huaizu of Xuzhou saw the official document, he just sneered and threw it aside, and said "ridiculous" to the master next to him, and then he was busy counting the accounts.

Having said that, Tong Huaizu has no government affairs to deal with now, he doesn't even have the mind to resign, he resigned several times, and the governor of Fengyang didn't have the slightest reaction, and asked a friend to go to the ministry to ask, and he didn't give any response, Tong Huaizu also understood, so many years he also figured out Zhao Jin's style of doing things, simply settled down, and also bought a house in Hejiazhuang, and went to live for a while from time to time.

At present, the situation of the magistrates in Xuzhou and Zhao Jin is very delicate, they don't have to worry about safety, as long as they don't make any small moves, Zhao Jiajun is too lazy to pay attention to it, the subtlety is that the court and the boss, from top to bottom, have ignored their deposits, but they have always maintained their deposits, quite some state and county officials have expired, but there is no transfer or promotion or even Zhishi instructions, only a simple official document came over, and the words on it were almost the same words "stay for another term", The imperial court can't manage these places, and if you want to maintain such a deposit, you can only use this boring and scoundrel method.

This movement of the imperial court not only did not panic the Zhaojia military control area in Xuzhou, but on the contrary, it made the officials and people of Henan, Beizhili and Denglai Town in Shandong, as well as Luzhou Prefecture, Anqing Mansion, Chuzhou, and Hezhou Prefecture in Nanzhili Jiangbei very frightened, and moved to other places one after another, and more interestingly, some moved to the Xuzhou control area.

The price of grain began to plummet, but the strong demand in Xuzhou soon made the price stable, and the businessmen in Qingjiangpu and Jiangnan began to worry habitually, because as long as they started fighting, Caoyun would inevitably be greatly affected. But this worry is just a habitual reaction, everyone knows the method, and this method is easier and cheaper, that is, by sea.

You are willing to send the goods directly to Jingshi, there are more than a family of sand ships to hire, you are too lazy to toss, you can directly send the goods to the clam port or Haizhou port, the maritime merchants there have too much silver in their hands, how many goods can be eaten, whether it is trafficked to the ocean, or sent to Tianjin, the profits are huge.

In such a situation, many wealthy businessmen in Qingjiangpu are secretly panicking, Qingjiangpu can be so prosperous, can become the world's financial hub, everyone can have today's net worth, rely on this canal, but now the canal is less and less, Caoyun began to turn to shipping, so where is everyone's future?

This kind of mentality, Zhou Xuezhi's trade hall understands very clearly, this mentality is an important reason why Qingjiangpu and Yangzhou wealthy businessmen have repeatedly participated in the hostility of Xuzhou Zhao Jiajun, the trade hall has no coercion and temptation, but just tells the truth, shipping can replace only the transportation of Qingjiangpu to Beijing, but through Guò Xuzhou to Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and even the north and south of Zhili are not replaced by shipping.

Xuzhou, which has become the core of the region, needs a large number of goods collected by Qingjiangpu, the most convenient transportation between Xuzhou and Qingjiangpu is the canal water transport, and when the salt river is repaired, Qingjiangpu is still the world's financial center, and then this Qingjiangpu is the hub connecting Xuzhou, Haizhou Port and all parts of the south of the Yangtze River.

Whether you believe it or not, the business on the side of Qingjiangpu is still thriving, the grain is either sold on the spot, or transported north by boat, and then a shipload of goods departs from Qingjiangpu, transported to Haizhou Port and Clam Port, and then exchanged for silver back, the goods are transported away by the maritime merchants, the merchants of Qingjiangpu always feel that their own world is unique, but this time they know that there is a sky outside the sky, the purchasing power of the maritime merchants seems to be endless, how many goods are transported over they can also eat, to this time, Only those wealthy merchants who have their eyes on the canal realized that the market is not just about the big tomorrow.

The Xuzhou bazaar was also thriving, with caravans of ox carts, wagons, and camels crossing the Yellow River from Shanxi and Shaanxi, and returning with loads of goods, not only to Shanxi and Shaanxi, but also to the Saiwai grasslands, and to all parts of the Western Regions.

Everyone knows that there is going to be a big war, but the business has not been affected at all, and even because of the sharp increase in military needs of Xuzhou soldiers and horses, so that everyone has made a solid fortune, compared to this, the Ming Dynasty is mainly requisitioned and requisitioned, and the powerful businessmen can get a large amount of silver in the military department and the household department, but those who have no background backer will suffer a big loss, and now there are businessmen from Beizhili who fled into Xuzhou

Of course, the businessmen on the south side of the Yangtze River are doing business while encouraging the party members of the Beijing division to fight in Xuzhou, rather than making a fortune in the territory of Xuzhou's powerful people, it is better to take this territory, or hand it over to their own family members, so that there is no need to pay so many fees, you can also sit on the ground to collect money, the attitude of the trade hall towards these people is also very peaceful, as long as you do business according to the rules, it will never stop you from making money to make money, anyway, no matter how much these wealthy businessmen make, there is no penny to supplement the court and the official army.

With the prosperity of commercial trade, Xuzhou's various factories are also expanding to recruit workers, continuous rotation of production, Guide Mansion and many fields near Kaifeng Mansion, whether hostile to Xuzhou or not, have begun to plant cotton, Xuzhou provides cotton seed to provide personnel to guide farming, and even deliberately placed a deposit, how to calculate it is much more cost-effective than growing grain, a large number of laborers from Henan poured into Xuzhou's various workshops.

But relatively, Zhao Jiajun Farm Reclamation Grange for the first time felt the shortage of manpower, at the very beginning was more people and less land, the harvest planted could not maintain food and clothing, but also relied on foreign input, and then there were more fields, more people, the harvest was getting better and better, not only self-sufficient, but also able to supply the outside, and even had spare manpower to spin and weave, but the young and strong were selected to do alternate soldiers, soldiers and regimental training, and there were various skills to do craftsmen, and many people were recruited to work, In addition, those who have talent and courage are selected to be the head of the village and so on.

At the same time, the territory of Zhao Ziying control zhì is still expanding, Shandong Yanzhou Mansion, Nanzhili Fengyang Mansion are all vast places, but Yanzhou Mansion is sparsely populated due to famine and war, Fengyang Mansion is also underpopulated because of the location of the central capital, etc., both of which can only be said to be vast and sparsely populated, and it is not enough for Zhuang Ding of Xuzhou to control zhì.

Yunshan Xing and the various commercial houses under the Trade Department have been recruiting Tunken Zhuang Ding in the neighboring provinces, but in the past two years, there has been no disaster and famine around the people, for the people who are difficult to leave their homeland, as long as they can survive, they will not leave their hometowns, and the earthquakes in Jiangnan and Jianghuai will not bring too many people, because this side is rich and prosperous, and the ability to recover itself is very strong, as for the Liaodong side, at present, all parts of Liaodong Phi Island have just opened ports, and the imperial court is in such a posture of war, not to mention that the Zheng family's gang has not been straightened out, and the transportation of recruited population has come to a standstill.

There are enough fields but not enough people to cultivate them, this is a problem for Zhao Jin and his partners, there is not enough population, there is not enough food, it is a problem for the future growth and stable foundation, so the most important thing at the moment is to maintain direct control of population growth.

"Recruiting Liao people is the most important, and in addition, it is to capture prisoners" Everyone has a consensus on this, and if you want to do this, you can only go to war.

Since the imperial court wants to fight, it is not Xuzhou's unauthorized provocation, no one will think that Xuzhou is bent on rebellion, and now what the world sees is that Xuzhou has no arrogant requirements, no official position, no territory, and even money, but it is so low-key under the big victory, but the court insists on raising troops.

Most of the officials and scholars of the Ming Dynasty supported the move of the imperial court, how could there be a bully who did not know what to do, and pointed fingers at the imperial court, in the long run, where is the system, where are the rules, if others do it, wouldn't it be a big mess everywhere, and in the battlefield and all around it, the southeast part of North Zhili, the whole province of Shandong, the northwest part of Henan, and most of the north of Jiangbei in South Zhili, the gentry and the people are extremely disgusted, thinking that the court is too unaware of what is good, and the Zhao family army won such a big victory but left such dignity and proportionality to the court, But why does the court not know self-love like this? And to bring disaster to the localities?

"If the eunuch party is not good, change the Qingliu, and when the Qingliu is also defeated, no one will dare to come up and provoke us again, this time we must show enough strength to teach the court a lesson, and let the people of the world know our strength" Zhao Jin said loudly in the chamber.

He said solemnly, but the expressions of several people in the conference hall were very strange, Wang Zhaojing, Ji Xiang and Liu Yong exchanged glances with each other, and they couldn't help laughing, Ruhui coughed softly, and finally Wang Zhaojing smiled and said: "Big brother, don't you always say low-key and introverted?" Now how to make a big fanfare! ”
