Volume 2 Nanyang Chapter 179 Lu Wan's Plan
Chapter 179: Lu Wan's Plan
On the port of Dayuan, all the officials above and below Dayuan greeted here, and they were divided into two rows, one row was the officials of the center of Yongwang's Mansion, and the other row was the officials of Yongnan Mansion. At this moment, they were all calm, and they didn't dare to take a breath, for fear of disturbing anyone.
In the distance, a large fortune ship slowly docked, and there were two large flags flying fiercely in the wind. One is the banner of King Yong of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also a flag that the whole staff is familiar with, but the other flag is brand new. King Yong of the Ming Dynasty has long Shi Lu. Two flags, no matter up or down, are of average size.
When the big ship docked, the dock was immediately noisy. The two rows of officials all knelt on the ground and said, "Greetings to His Royal Highness King Yong, Lord Lu." ”
The sound spread far away, and the sound shook all over the world.
Zhu Houhuang's travel has always been light and simple. No pomp. This pomp was put on display for Lu Wan. Express Zhu Houhuang's respect for Lu Wan.
Zhu Houhuang said: "Master Lu." Please. ”
Lu Wan smiled and said, "The ceremony cannot be abolished, Your Highness, please go first." ”
Zhu Houhuang took half a step ahead, and Lu Wan was on Zhu Houhuang's side, slightly falling half of Zhu Houhuang's body.
Everywhere the two went, all the soldiers on duty fell to their knees. These people are all the princes of Yong, and Zhu Houhuang will do everything he can to show this pomp today. Even the most elite centaurs have pulled out to put on a show.
Lu Wan saw that he was in charge of the big scene, the scene of the emperor's sacrifice to the sky, Lu Wan had close contact several times, although he was moved by Zhu Houhuang, but he was a little secretly funny, although Zhu Houhuang's scene was big, but compared to the big scene in the capital, it was a small thing. It's not worth mentioning at all. Although Lu Wan felt Zhu Houhuang's sincerity, he also felt a trace of funny.
Zhu Houhuang and Lu Wan entered the Yongwang Mansion.
The so-called Yongwang Mansion is not where Zhu Houhuang works, but where Yang Shen works. Opposite to where Zhu Houhuang lives, it is only separated by one street. And the opposite side is also Yongwang's Mansion, but the front half of the courtyard is where Shaofu works, and the back is where Zhu Houhuang lives.
Lu Wan looked at the layout of the building, immediately frowned, and said, "It's not a system. ”
Ancient Chinese palaces have a unified layout, generally speaking, the front hall and the back residence, and what is the mess here, no wonder Lu Wan can't see it.
However, this is all Zhu Houhuang's creation, and the foundation laid at the beginning was laid by Zhu Houhuang, and Tang Yin and Yang Shen in the back are just Chen Chenxiang.
After all, in the difficult environment of starting a business, it is a little too extravagant to rebuild the built house.
When Lu Wan came here, he didn't say anything, and first asked to read the document first.
Zhu Houhuang gave all the documents of Yongguo to Lu Wan and let him read them.
Lu Wan hurriedly watched for seven days. After reading all the documents. He didn't say anything, and immediately went down to all the counties to take a look.
Zhu Houhuang paid great attention to Lu Wan, and he knew Lu Wan's whereabouts every day.
He didn't expect that Lu Wan and Qi Jingtong were old acquaintances. But thinking about it, Qi Jingtong participated in the pacification of Liu Liu's rebellion. And Lu Wan single-handedly pacified the rebellion of Liu Liu and Liu Qi. It's strange that they don't know each other.
Lu Wan spent half a month, and his footprints were all over Dongyong. Although it is a bit of a stretch. After a hasty pass, everything in Yongguo is in Lu Wan's heart.
January is over. Lu Wan and Zhu Houhuang sat opposite each other. Zhu Houhuang asked: "During this period of time, Master Lu has traveled to all the prefectures and counties in Dongyong, is there anything that can teach Gu?"
Lu Wan said: "Your Highness, you have grain and grass, young and strong, elite soldiers, and enemies, why bother to make this pattern." ”
Zhu Houhuang asked a little confusedly: "No, you must first take root in doing things, and then try to develop." Hundreds of thousands of immigrants have just arrived in Dongyong, and the people's hearts are undecided, don't they want to shake their foundation? ”
"There is a right to everything, and everything cannot be generalized. His Royal Highness Dongyong Island has held two sections, the east of Dongyong, the mountains and mountains, the gain is not enough to benefit, and the loss is not enough to harm. It is for the abandoned land. Therefore, do not take it. The land of Dongyong Island is the west bank of Dongyong, the terrain is flat, and the streams are spread. Enough to be the foundation of eternity. However, there are thieves who are pot-bellied, according to the land of Yongzhong, cut off Dongyong Island, divided into two ends. Like a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh. Your Highness doesn't want to pull it out?"
Zhu Houhuang didn't want to pull it out. It's just a last resort to stay. Because a lot of things happen by accident. His plan to eliminate the big belly has been postponed.
"Now, His Highness has thousands of elite soldiers. More than 10,000 soldiers. There are tens of thousands of strong men, while there are only tens of thousands of strong men in the whole country of the potbelly country, and they have never practiced war. How can Your Highness care?"
How could Zhu Houhuang not be moved, and the reunification of Dongyong has always been his short-term goal. Now the big belly. It is the largest primitive tribe in the Dongyong Plain. It is also because Zhu Houhuang's big action in Yongnan and Yongbei drove the Yi people on both sides to the vicinity of the big belly, which means that the big belly tribe is the last obstacle to Zhu Houhuang's unification of Dongyong, and it is not an exaggeration.
But Zhu Houhuang wanted to think about it, and he knew that he couldn't move now, without him, he was shy.
When the cannon goes off, the gold is ten thousand taels, in fact, it is not a big run, but every military operation will consume a lot of wealth. And with Zhu Houhuang's current difficult financial situation, he can't afford to fight at all.
Zhu Houhuang said: "Master Lu, Gu has no money now, and he can't afford to fight at all. ”
"No need, Your Highness will allocate an extra penny, as long as Your Highness gives me full authority to control the two provinces." Lu Wan looked at Zhu Houhuang and said slowly.
Zhu Houhuang looked at Lu Wan, and couldn't help thinking wildly in his heart. It's hard for him not to think nonsense.
The strength of Zhu Houhuang's subordinates, how much strength they have, speaking of which, it is the two prefectures of Yongnan and Yongbei. plus Zhu Houhuang's personal soldiers are more than 1,000. Plus the strength on the water.
And the power that Lu Wan wants is almost half of Zhu Houhuang's strength, or even more, and Zhu Houhuang's forbidden army must also be handed over.
Zhu Houhuang said secretly: "Let's go." Zhu Houhuang said solemnly: "Since Master Lu is interested, this place will be handed over to Master Lu." ”
Lu Wan's eyes flashed, and he said, "The minister will live up to His Highness's trust." ”
Lu Wan got full authority from Zhu Houhuang and immediately started to act.
"There are busy and idle times in farming. When the farm is slack, it can be levied in full. Lu Wan said. All the men in all the villages of Dongyong were requisitioned. Assemble in various county seats.
Tens of thousands of people gathered in Beigang, and Zhu Houhuang was amazed for a while. Although he designed the mobilization of Yongguo. But never thought of running the system. But after Lu Wan arrived, he did not hesitate to launch this system.
However, Zhu Houhuang was very worried about the loss of labor and money, and the people's hearts were already uneasy, and it was even more unbeautiful to cause civil unrest.
Zhu Houhuang couldn't help but asked Lu Wan and said, "Master Lu." This kind of labor hurts the people and money, and it hurts the people's hearts. ”
Lu Wan said: "Your Highness's people's hearts are the most unpredictable, these people come to this Dongyong land from thousands of miles away, and their hearts are uneasy, such as His Highness's policy, after settling for three or five years, they will naturally return to their hearts." During this year, His Highness did not have the financial resources to do anything else. And at this moment, use this money and food to break the big-bellied country, and reward the people with the wealth of the big-bellied country, and a victory can make the people return to their hearts. ”
Before the fertile land was not produced, these hundreds of thousands of people were raised by Zhu Houhuang, which consumed a lot of material resources.
In Lu Wan's opinion, this should not be.
There are so many people's ideas in vain, and this time the levy is just turning the money and grain lent to the people into a reward for the levy and distribution of the people. Lu Wan, who has no experience at the grassroots level, understands very well that these loans are made to small farmers. It's hard to come over. Even the cost of coming over is much greater than the loan price.
Therefore, Lu Wan simply regarded this money and grain as a reserve for this war. Use this money and grain to calm the hidden dangers of Dongyong, and stabilize the people's hearts with a big victory.
It's a win-win-win-
It's just that Zhu Houhuang still has hesitation in his heart, these people have just crossed the ocean. Isn't it too cruel to settle down here and get involved in this big war right away.
Zhu Houhuang felt uneasy in his heart, and ordered to go down, saying: "Send someone down to see how these people are living." ”
