(The first update, ask for a red ticket)

"I just went to the Ordnance Supervision Institute to see the alchemy, watching the carriage on the Yihang Mansion passing by with good wine, thinking that Xu had something to celebrate, so I came to ask for a glass of wine, but I didn't expect Shang Wang to come to Jiangning today," Lin Jian sat down and said with a smile, "Shang Wang's journey is so fast, the day before yesterday I just received a letter that you just arrived in Mingzhou and landed ......."

"When the lord saw the call, Shang Wang did not dare to delay. Stayed at Liang Wenzhan Liang's place for a night, then crossed the river and took a carriage all the way to Jiangning, met General Yihang at Shengtai Gate, and learned that today's generals and officials were rewarded by the lord for body leave, so they first came to General Yihang and had a small gathering with the old people. Sun Shangwang said.

"It's been hard for Shangwang to be in Yizhou all these years," Lin Jian invited everyone to sit around the table and asked Sun Shangwang, "Song Bo took over Yizhou's affairs, can he still adapt?" ”

Song Bo was the son of Song Fu and was one of the key figures who prompted the Song family to join Huaidong; After the war in eastern Fujian, Song Bo ruled the political affairs of eastern Fujian with the senator Zuohu Zhiyong, and then transferred to Yizhou, sentenced to Yizhou Mansion, Sun Shangwang was transferred to Jiangning, and Song Bo went out of Zhiyizhou.

"Song Bo is brilliant, knowledgeable, deep and general, and will be able to bring Yizhou and Nanyang maritime to a higher level, but he is still dull and stupid, and he has the hope ......of the lord," Sun Shangwang said.

"The sour tone of your speech hasn't changed," Lin Jian said with a smile, "If I'm not satisfied with your work in Yizhou, how can I transfer you to Jiang Ningyi with Chengfu and them as an assistant?" ”

Sun Shangwang smiled awkwardly, it shouldn't be, it shouldn't be.

Wang Chengfu was also terrified, in order to show that he did not dare to accept this praise.

Over the years, Wang Chengfu first led Yudong County, and then served as the Huainan Salt Supervisor, presiding over the transformation of Yudong Palace Village into a county and the reform of salt administration, and he has also done a lot of work in these years.

Wang Chengfu went out of Yudong County, successively built a 60-mile-long Yudong Hanhai Pond, and on the basis of the original 40 acres of 10,000 acres of grain fields, he reclaimed 300,000 acres of grain land and 400,000 acres of cotton fields. It has only been five years since the county was rebuilt, but Yudong County has increased from more than 30,000 dingkou at the beginning to 150,000 dingkou. As of last year, Yudong County has been able to directly supply up to 600,000 stone of cotton raw materials to the Chongzhou spinning mill across the river, and can also export more than 500,000 stone of rice grain to the outside world.

In less than two years after serving as Huainan Salt Supervisor, Wang Chengfu vigorously innovated the old method of boiling and brine, so that nearly half of the salt farms in the area south of Yandu and north of Hecheng were changed to the salt drying method, and the grassland and more than 40,000 salt households and salt dings were classified into Yandu and Jianling counties, so that the number of acres of land in Yandu and Jianling counties increased by more than 600,000 mu. In the Huainan salt area, the output of salt households, salt dings, and pastures has not only not decreased, but also increased by more than 300,000 stone salt last year.

Wang Chengfu has the confidence to enter the center with such political achievements, but compared with Sun Shangwang's hard work and many pioneering works in Yizhou, Wang Chengfu also feels inferior.

Yudong County has the foundation of Gongzhuang reclamation before, and it is close to Haiyu, Chongzhou, Hecheng and other counties, it is easier to relocate people and reclaim the work, Yizhou has been regarded as a wild land since ancient times, in addition to the island Shengfan, only the maritime merchants, Haikou and exiles regard it as a foothold, and in the early years, it was the bitter place of the exile of felons in the Dongmin County Division.

The large-scale development of Yizhou Island began 70 years ago, in Zhuxi County, the city is only two miles, or even less than a post fort, and even the roof of the county government is covered with thatched grass to protect from the wind and rain. The extravagant family abandoned Yizhou and wreaked havoc on Zhuxi County, and finally moved all the other materials that could be taken away and Dingkou into the land, except for more than 10,000 abandoned people.

When the new Yizhou Island was acquired, not many people in Huaidong were really willing to govern that wild place, and Lin Jian only made the sailors control Yizhou at the beginning, making it a base for the sailors to harass Mindong and Guangnan, until Sun Shangwang withdrew from Jinhai, and then officially established the county in Yizhou.

In less than five years, on the basis of more than 10,000 Dingkou in the early days, Sun Shangwang accepted nearly 40,000 prisoners of war and prisoners from southern Zhejiang and eastern Fujian for resettlement in Yizhou, and made up 140,000 islands to be registered as citizens, and moved more than 20,000 displaced households from the interior to Yizhou for resettlement, so that Yizhou at this time roughly formed a pattern of 250,000 Dingkou in one government and four counties.

Of course, there is also blood behind these achievements.

Lin Jian is determined to change Yizhou from a barbarian land to a mature land, and the biggest difficulty in developing Yizhou Island on a large scale is not the harsh environment, but the resistance of hundreds of thousands of aborigines on the island.

In five years, in order to compile 140,000 Daofan into civilian nationality, the number of Daofan who died due to the suppression of the Yizhou government army and sailors was as high as 10,000, almost wiped out the primitive tribal nobles on the original Yizhou Island, and the surrendered Daofan nobles were all exiled to other places; In the early days, in order to develop resources such as coal, iron, and forests, control coal farms, iron fields, and forest farms, and build seaports, nearly a quarter of the 40,000 prisoners of war died of epidemics in five years, and in the later period, they even had to station the main force of the Southeast Navy Division in two newly built seaports on Yizhou Island.

In order to avoid the possibility of unstable situation in Yizhou, Sun Shangwang specially asked for an amnesty for the remaining 30,000 prisoners of war before leaving Yizhou, so that all of them could be resettled on the spot and incorporated into the civilian register, so as to eliminate the biggest hidden danger on Yizhou Island at present.

In the past five years, on the basis of less than 200,000 mu of land in the original Zhuxi, Sun Shangwang has compiled nearly 600,000 mu of fantian into tax, and newly cultivated more than 400,000 mu of grain fields, and wantonly planted cane and squeezed sugar in Yizhou, and the newly reclaimed cane fields are twice as large as the grain fields, and the tussah is dumped in eastern Fujian, eastern Zhejiang, Jianghuai and other places, where the coal control yards, iron yards and forest farms have an annual output of 4 million baskets of coal and 6 million catties of iron, and one-third of the giant trees used in the shipyards of Chongzhou and Mingzhou are produced in Yizhou.

And Sun Shangwang can develop Yizhou to this extent within five years, Huaidong before and after the investment of only 500,000 taels of silver, more investment from the Nanyang sea trade - Sun Shangwang is also Huaidong internal support Lin Tie to the expansion of the South Seas, the most firm core of the colonial strategy, in five years, has resumed the route with Luzon, Champong, Jinzhou and other places.

The southern tip of Yizhou Island is only 700 miles away from the northern tip of Luzon Island by sea, and it is possible to sail from the southern tip of Yizhou Island to the coast of Luzon in two days to avoid the summer and autumn storm season.

After making huge profits from the import of raw silk and primary industrial products into the Haidong region, Huaidong naturally will not let go of the fat meat of Nanyang.

The previous estimates of the population of Nanyang were very inadequate.

Even if the development of the Nanyang Islands is not as good as that of the Central Plains and Haidong, the total population is likely to exceed 40 million, and they are under the control of the kingdoms of Luzon, Pai, Annam, Siam, and Johor. This does not include the Qianduo Dynasty, which was to the west of the South Seas and had the same land occupation and population as the Central Plains.

This is also in line with Lin Lian's memory of later generations, and there must be a colonial market with a total population of more than 100 million to support the sustainable development of primary industrialization.

Of course, the final determination of Huaidong's status in Haidong was directly related to Huaidong's successive defeats of the Saga clan and the Goryeo Suibu army in the battles of Songpo and Seogwipo in the Danna Kingdom, and it was these two battles that made the Dongju Governorate and Jeju Xingying officially take root on Jeju Island and Fuso Songpo, and also enabled the trade penetration to Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom through Jeju and Songpo to continue.

Now that Goryeo is caught in the civil war between the Zhen clan and the royal Li clan in Haiyang County, Huaidong built a Haidong marching army with a total of 30,000 Shuibu troops led by Ma Yigong in Haidong, and used the gains from trade infiltration to Goryeo to directly support the Zhen clan's war against the royal Li clan; However, the total amount of trade with the Fuso Islands reached 10 million taels of silver last year, and in addition to the millions of taels of silver imported back to China, nearly one million catties of copper, hundreds of thousands of catties of silver, and tens of thousands of catties of gold had to be imported from the Wa State every year to make up for the difference in trade, and also to supplement the shortage of currency for Huaidong's increasingly vigorous trade activities.

Due to the lack of one or two deterrent wars against the Nanyang kingdoms, it was not possible to completely open the door to Nanyang trade, but the use of silk fabrics, new cloth, iron porcelain and other materials to carry out small-scale trade with the Nanyang countries, the total trade with the Nanyang countries reached a total of 8 million taels of silver last year.

In order for trade in the South Seas to continue and deepen, large-scale development of Yizhou Island is a necessary step.

In the past five or six years, nearly half of the trade income from Nanyang, amounting to millions of taels of silver, has been invested in it, so that Yizhou Island has today's pattern.

After the war in eastern Fujian was completely over, the entire local garrison under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of Eastern Fujian was no more than 20,000 soldiers, and Lin Jian also supported the formal formation of the Southeast Naval Division, the number of 15,000 soldiers, and the formation of more than 40 warships above the sea level in Tianjin, in the final analysis, in order to maintain the trade penetration and expansion of the Nanyang Islands.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, the Xungui clique tended to become introverted and conservative because they were able to obtain large quantities of goods from the land after the war to maintain their luxurious living conditions.

Lin Jian does not expect everyone to be equal, nor does he expect the Xungui Group to maintain a hard and simple style of work with him to create a new dynasty, how can the Xungui Group turn its attention away from the traditional land if it wants to change the old pattern and create a new pattern?

At least for the time being, it is feasible to infiltrate, expand, or even plunder trade overseas, and it is much more lucrative than purely cultivating the land.

In the world, there were 2,000 fields in the world, and in order to be regarded as a rich land, one or two hundred tenant farmers were needed to cultivate, and after the price of grain finally stabilized, the income from the field rent of a thousand stone of grain was only five or six hundred silver dollars, and the standard of living that could be supported was not even comparable to the middle class in later generations; It is far from being compared with the emerging factory owners and maritime traders.

Over the years, Huaidong has not received much directly from traditional grain rents and land endowments, but last year, after deducting the investment in construction and factory expansion in various places, the annual income reached 10 million silver dollars, which strongly supported the war in Huirao and Jingxiang, mainly relying on the trade penetration and expansion of Xinxing Factory in the mainland and overseas markets.

Revenue is arguably the core data that underpins the center's decision-making – to maintain a strong and sustainable empire, it is absolutely impossible to maintain a strong and sustainable empire without strong enough financial support.

Ordinary people can only see that the Huaidong Army is strong and invincible on the surface, but the deeper reason behind it is that last year's military investment of up to 1,600 silver dollars supported such a powerful combat power of the Huaidong Army - before the collapse of Yanji, Yanjing maintained a total of 300,000 troops in the border army and the Jingying army, and the annual silver consumption was only five or six million taels; Li Zhuo later reorganized the Jizhen Army, and in the three years before and after, he only received an additional support of less than two million taels of silver from Emperor Chongguan.

Pragmatic generals and officials can see the root cause from this array of data.

Comparing the revenues from traditional lands with those from new factories and trade penetration and expansion into domestic markets, once the latter far exceeds the former, at least at the central level, pragmatic officials will not go down the old ways.

Quite simply, going down the old path means that the central annual income will be drastically reduced. Once it is reduced to the traditional scale of less than 10 million taels of silver, how will it support the expenditure of the huge bureaucracy and the army?

Without a huge bureaucracy and a combat-ready army, how can the clan and the noble clique ensure their interests?

The core layer of Huaidong has a clear understanding of the new policy in Huaidong and the current composition of income.

Of course, it can't twist some people's minds to be confined to the old thinking, so Lin Jian needs officials who can implement his New Deal thinking to enter the center to maintain and consolidate the New Deal, so that the old brains can withdraw from the pension.

As long as the central officials of the second generation can be maintained and the new policy can be firmly implemented, at least at the central level, the thinking of the new policy can be rooted. The new-style school, which lasts every two to five years, can expand the New Deal thinking at a broader and deeper level.

To say that when Huaidong implemented the new policy of Lin Bin, it was also interfered by many old forces and old traditions, and it was mainly a factor of stability, and too many bloody promotion methods could not be adopted; Sun Shangwang's rule of Yizhou is almost the most thorough implementation of the new policy of Lin Bin, and it is also the bloodiest area.

Sun Shangwang, Wang Chengfu, and Li Shuyi, of course, in terms of qualifications and merits, are far from being comparable with Lin Mengde, Lin Xuwen, Huang Jinnian, Song Fu, Sun Jingxuan, etc., and even cannot be compared with Liu Zhi, but their most distinctive feature is that they have been the officials who have implemented the thinking of Lin Jian's new policy and made outstanding achievements over the years, so that their own qualifications and prestige are enough to support them to enter the central auxiliary government.

The independence of General Intelligence's Department from the Privy Council was to maintain the purity of the army and reduce the interference of the contradictions between the old and new policies on the army.
