Shanyang County.
Hedong County is the northernmost place, and the land is south of Yinshan Mountain, which is called 'yang'.
It is located in the combination of mountains and grasslands, which also forms a rare landform that includes two types of terrain, mountains and grasslands. In the vernacular, there are many hills.
The mountains in the near distance, and the distant ones, are now all white.
On the twelfth day of the first month, the lanterns in Beiping City have been picked up at this time, and the night is colorful, and the fire trees and silver flowers reflect each other.
And Zhu Biao came to Shanyang with his wife at this moment. After being tired all the way, Shan Yuping stayed in the county office to rest, and Zhu Biao came to the city alone.
Outside the north city wall, Zhu Biao looked at the large area of deserted land below very carefully. There are three large rivers in Hedong County, and there are countless apricots, and the natural water network has always been the most advantageous rope for stumbling on horses' hooves. As a result, the hinterland of the county has not suffered major disasters for more than a decade.
However, the two border counties of Shanyang and Pingchuan in the north fought and fought in gladiatorial battles, and the people fled, which was the same as that of Luozhou, and became uninhabited.
A slightly hoarse voice sounded not far away: "Zhu Shuai!"
Zhu Biao
Ying Sheng turned his head to look, and saw a man in his forties walking towards him following the guidance of the city wall sergeant, this person's face was a little dark, and he didn't look like a little bookish, but his whole body was very strong, and he was holding up the official clothes of the county order.
After the man approached and wrote Zhu Biao's appearance clearly, he was slightly stunned. Although they all know that Zhu Biao is young, when the position and prestige reach the point of Zhu Biao, people have unconsciously ignored his age.
This person should be one of them. Now that I saw Zhu Biao's face with my own eyes, I was stunned. Immediately, a smile appeared on the face of the person who came, and he quickened his steps and stepped forward, "Xiaguan Shanyang County Ling Ma Yishan, I have seen Zhu Shuai!" ”。
On this trip to Shanyang, Zhu Biao did not say hello to the county, but ordered to go to the army.
At present, Gao Xie and Zhu Zhong are both stationed here. A small county order, or a county order with almost no people under his jurisdiction, Zhu Biao really can't think of Ma Yishan.
But now the first time we met. Zhu Biao suddenly became interested. This prefectural order reminded him of an old man who died young. At that time, I had only been transferred from Yandong to Luozhou, and it was in Huaiyuan that I met a county order that was not at all like a county order......
"Ma County Order!" It is very light to see that this person has no foundation of internal strength, and his tight muscles and muscles are the kind that are tempered and refined.
Smiling and armresting, Zhu Biao looked at the strong man in front of him, and suddenly lost his interest and mind to try it. A civil official with such an appearance, if you want to come, can you give yourself something different?!
"Ben Shuai came to Shanyang to prepare for the beginning of spring this year. Reopen the countryside and harvest the whole acres. What does the county order think?"
His mind was buzzing for a moment, Ma Yishan's mind was really blank, he couldn't remember what to say, and he didn't know how to express his inner emotions at this moment.
"How many years has Ma Xianling been in Shanyang?"
"Xiaguan...... Xiaguan has been in Shanyang for nine years and three months......" There was no trace of emotion in his voice, it seemed so empty. Ma Yishan hasn't come back to his senses at the moment.
Sure enough, there is no backstage! There are backstage officials and related officials, who will stay in this rotten place of Shanyang for more than nine years.
Zhu Biao likes it more in his heart, a petty official without a backstage, which means Ma Yishan's 'purity'. Not bad. Chaste.
It means that he can take him under his command. If you want to be a general in the army and accept a sesame petty official who has been 'forgotten' for nine years, isn't that a hand-to-hand capture? Nine years, that's three terms. Ma Yishan may have hated the officials to the bone in his heart.
Putting together such a person, Zhu Biao doesn't think there is anything wrong and difficult.
And it's not a waste either. Just look at his body shape, he has not been abolished in nine years, and he can still train his body to the current appearance. It's very unusual, and it's very unusual to talk about the mind alone.
This man can endure loneliness and suffering. It is even said that he can find self-worth in difficult situations.
Take a closer look at Ma Yishan's size. It's just a soldier's body!
Finally settled down. Ma Yishan sighed with emotion, and his eyes didn't feel moist.
Since he was promoted to Shanyang County Commander nine years ago, he has done his best in this dangerous place in Xinjiang, and he has withdrawn the people of the county for two years and changed it to a military town, leaving only more than 1,000 people in the county, and he is also conscientious and has never slackened.
At the end of the three-year term, his neck was crooked, looking forward to the transfer of the officials, after all, Shanyang County has become a military town, and there is no need for a county order, and the aftermath of a year is also understood, and there is no place for his own use here. But who knows, God changed colors overnight, and he was indeed no longer the commander of Shanyang County, but became the inspector of Shanyang Military Town, that is, the civil affairs officer of the military town. At that time, there were less than 60 households and less than 300 people left in the entire county.
This is five years, and five years of waste in Shanyang, and waste in this white land that gradually has no surname. All day long, he was accompanied by the soldiers and men, always surviving under the sword and bow of Hu Qi, and the generals who guarded Shanyang treated themselves as the main book.
It is also a second year, the second year of being a patrol director by myself. At that time, Hezhou sent troops to reinforce Luozhou, and was jointly attacked by Hu Qi and Di Cai, and Shanyang City once became precarious under the attack of Hu Lu, and he also picked up a knife and held a bow and crossbow. Take this one, and then you will never put it down again.
Sanyang is a border land, and even if it is 'safe', it is also a dangerous place. Who can say that it will always be safe, and it may be breached at that time, and with a knife in hand, at least one can resist.
A year ago, the Heavenly Soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty made a move in Chen State, and the crisis in Hedong was immediately alleviated. Before that, Hedong had withdrawn another 50,000 troops to aid Luozhou, and the continuous heavy blood loss made the entire army of Hedong County have less than 30,000 cavalry left. After that, Li Huizu's northern expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops ended in the annihilation of the entire army, which put the entire Northern Han in danger.
The garrison of Shanyang City was only 2,000 people at the least, and in the face of the ferocious Hu Qi and Di Qi, it was like a small tattered fishing boat in the rough waves of the sea, and it could be destroyed at any time.
Ma Yishan had the heart to die at any time at that time.
Fortunately, Shanyang survived the most dangerous section. After the intervention of the Heavenly Soldiers, the entire Hedong County had a good year last year.
But what made Ma Yishan's heart like a dead end was that because of the good times of this year, he changed from a patrol secretary to a Shanyang county commander, and to his current position, his three-year term of office was only a quarter of a quarter.
During the Chinese New Year, he heard that a small number of large families in the southern counties of the county had turned back, but Shanyang and Ma Yishan no longer had any hope. He has been a Baili Marquis who has not had a single citizen for most of the year, and he is ready to continue to serve for the rest of his term.
Shanyang is too close to Hu Qi and Di Cai, even if Hu Lu does not fight with the Han army, just the non-stop threshing floor is enough to make the people regard Shanyang as death. Even if Zhu Biao is in charge of Hedong, Ma Yishan does not think that anything will change.
Can ...... now What do you hear with your ears? Is this true?
"Ma County Order. How many acres of cultivated land are there in Shanyang? How many hills are there?"
Zhu Biao's question sounded again and woke up Ma Yishan. "I wish you back. There are 736,210 acres of land in Shanyang, all of which are the finest paddy fields. Ten acres of land can support a family, and although the acres of Shanyang fields are small, the population can reach 230,000 at its peak. ”
"The highlands and hills are all over the country, and there are so many of them. Zhu Shuai came to the county seat on the way, he must have seen it. It's just that the soil hills are not too much, which can account for tens of them. ”
"In the past, when Shanyang was in the past, could there be people cultivating terraced fields?"
"As far as the lower officials know, there has never been." Ma Yishan looked at Zhu Biao unexpectedly. Terrace? I'm afraid that the people of Hezhou haven't even thought about it.
"Uh-huh. Although this commander is conceited and not afraid of Hu Qi, there are few soldiers and horses in Hedong, and it is not enough to keep the enemy out of the country. This year, there is a 'shortage of money and grain' in Beiping, and the balance of our department is expected to be difficult for the imperial court to make up. It is indisputable to open up the fields in Shanyang, and if you only open up the land on the flat land, it would be a pity if you were a little negligent and were damaged by the dog. Zhu Biao said to Ma Yishan.
Why didn't he let go of the comfortable general's mansion, he came to Shanyang in the cold, and then he would go to Pingchuan. That is because Yu Shao'an and Zhu Ming in Beiping have received news that this year, the imperial court is likely to go to the east of the river with money and grain.
Zhu Biao wants to complete the ninth battalion of infantry and cavalry this year, and by the way, set up a heavy cavalry tiger and leopard cavalry, and the Modao army that has already begun to be established in the 'calculation', the cost is not half a little.
If you don't add some extra income, the expenses of the army this year alone can empty half of the Zhu family's wealth.
Zhu Biao is not afraid of spending money. What is money? What is money?
That's the turtle grandson, that's a bastard. Earn it when you're done spending!
If the Northern Han Dynasty at this time was the Northern Han Dynasty when the whole government and the opposition were 'fundraising', or as during the Anti-Japanese War, when the treasury ran rats, Zhu Biao's realm was not high, but he also knew that he would destroy his family and relieve difficulties.
However, now that the court is obviously rich, after Ji Yun and Tang Wang wore a pair of pants, Tang Wang showed a little scum in his hands, which was beneficial to the Northern Han Dynasty. Zhu Biao didn't believe that King Tang would give the new younger brother any benefits.
Therefore, in this case, Zhu Biao felt distressed by investing his own money in the army of the imperial court.
No matter how deep his influence is in the army of this imperial court, it is after all the imperial court's and Ji Yun's. This Hedong County is not Zhu Biao's private army, just like the Yue family army, whose surname is 'Yue', but it is not a real warlord soldier who 'only knows Yue Fei but does not know the Song family'. Yue Fei is not a warlord, and Zhu Biao doesn't want to be a warlord.
So for such an army, it's okay to invest hundreds of thousands, but millions of dollars, Zhu Biao is really distressed.
The land in Shanyang and Pingchuan counties is naturally impossible to make up for all of Zhu Biao's losses this year, and this is only a part.
Cultivating the land with horses means using military tuns, and how can the two counties produce a net of 350,000 quintals of grain in a year, and it is necessary to subsidize military supplies. The rest is not sold to the Chen State, which is short of grain, and sold to the Northern Han Dynasty, which is also a profit......
Besides, the seeds planted in the ground are different. (To be continued.)
