Chapter 833: Enriching the People
Seeing that the New Year was approaching, Yang Zheng held a grand banquet.
The banquet for the officers and soldiers in the army, from ordinary soldiers to generals in the army, crowded the imperial city, and almost all the disabled soldiers were invited.
The banquet was piled from the Imperial City to Suzaku Street.
Although there are many people, but the cost is not much, according to the tradition in the army, eat meat, drink wine, there is no silk and bamboo orchestra, there is no singer and dancer, but the atmosphere is extremely warm.
Yang Zheng took the prince to toast the disabled soldiers, shushed the cold and asked them if there were any difficulties in their lives.
The soldiers were moved to tears, "With the land given by His Majesty, enough to feed the whole family, and spare money to recruit some servants, how dare you think before this day?" ”
"That's good! That's good, I can't let you bleed on the battlefield and come back in tears! ”
"Haha, although my subordinates can't do it anymore, my sons and grandsons are all well-known men, they are like flying on horses, they can hold a three-stone strong bow, and they will fight for His Royal Highness in the future!"
"Then it's a deal!" The land of Yongliang has produced warriors since ancient times, and Yang Zheng is very happy that the bravery in their veins has not subsided.
At the end of the banquet, Yang Zheng also gave each person a reward of thirty catties of beef and mutton and an urn of wine, so that they could have a good New Year.
Daqin lacks everything, money, food, and people, but there is no shortage of livestock.
The four major farms have already been built on a large scale, and with the improvement of management, the annual livestock production is also increasing.
In addition to farming, the people of Yongliang will also raise pigs, sheep, mules and donkeys at home, and if possible, there are cattle and horses at home.
The ponds and canals in Guanzhong were also used to stock fish fry, and at the end of the year, the people could eat fresh fish.
In recent years, the protection of Henan has begun to bear some results, after emptying the tribes and people inside, large-scale tree planting, and from the alfalfa introduced from the Western Regions, the wind and sand in Weibei have decreased, and wild animals have flocked together.
The imperial court divided the vast area into twenty pastoral areas, and only five pastoral areas were allowed to graze and hunt each year, so that the land could rest and recuperate.
Now Guanzhong is vast and sparsely populated, and there is little pressure to survive, and there is no need to migrate people north.
Therefore, Henan became the training ground of the Great Qin cavalry.
20,000 cavalry take turns to patrol on a regular basis, each with two horses and one camel, divided into 20 teams, each with two months of grain and grass, from Daxing, need to wander in Henan for three months, raise a month's grain and grass by themselves, hunting, looting, starving is their own business, life and living is the same as the northern Mobei tribe, eating, drinking and Lazar are all on the horse, and the Qianghu tribe can directly launch an attack.
I really can't get through it, and I can go to Shuofang, Beidi, and Jiuyuan to seek supplies, but it will affect the evaluation of the generals who lead the team by the Ministry of War.
There are always some northern Mobei tribes who have crossed the Yellow River and moved into Henan in an attempt to develop and grow.
There is the Yellow River in the north, the land in Jinze, and the Wuding River in the south, and the water and grass are extremely fertile, which has a great attraction to the grassland tribes.
Every year, many tribes can be inexplicably drilled out and hide in Tibet under the iron hooves of the Qin army.
But that's fine, they're the best prey.
After a heavy snowfall, enter the new year.
Since the invention of the coal furnace, it has been quickly promoted, and Yang Zheng also opened the coal Cao, selling the briquettes of Bingzhou to Guanzhong, Hebei, Monan and other places.
However, due to the fact that the scale has not gone up, the supply is insufficient, and the price is quite high.
Probably because it was invented by the emperor, as soon as this thing entered Daxing City, it was favored by dignitaries and nobles.
If you have money or not, you have to come to try something fresh.
The price has been continuously speculated, and a three-inch briquette has been fried to three cents......
Coal Cao then made a quick buck.
Yang Zheng has been deified under the continuous propaganda of the Xuanyi Division over the years, and all his deeds have been compiled into operas and storytelling.
has a huge influence among the people, especially in Liangzhou, regardless of Qianghu, they all worship Yang Zheng like a god.
If there is a demand, there is a sale, and soon there are smart people in Guanzhong who discovered the coal mine, Fengsa County is connected to the state, and the coal resources are extremely rich, and some people imitate coal cakes by themselves, sell them everywhere, and also make a lot of money.
"Why don't you destroy all this illicit coal?" Zhao Aqi watched the price of coal in Daxing City decline every day, and felt a little distressed.
In fact, Yang Zheng also had this thought, turning coal into a private court like salt and iron.
After thinking about it, I gave up.
"The Book of Rites: University" has a cloud: The house of ice cutting does not raise cattle and sheep, and the house of Baicheng does not have ministers who gather animals, and instead of having ministers of gathering, there are rather ministers of thieves. This means that the country does not take profit for profit, but also for righteousness.
It means that the court does not compete with the people for profit, and if there is more competition, the greedy and corrupt officials will take the opportunity to gather.
The court eats the big head, the greedy and corrupt officials eat the small head, and the people can only drink the northwest wind poorly.
"Guanzhong has been fighting for a long time, the people have only migrated over the past few years, it is not easy to have a livelihood, not only can you Jinyiwei not be destroyed, but also supervised to avoid the coal mine falling into the hands of local heroes!"
If the wealth is hidden from the people, the population will naturally come up.
Besides, Daqin is not bad for these three melons and two dates, and when the people have money, they will improve their living standards, commerce will rise, and the economy will be invigorated.
In Shang Jun's book, Yang Zheng disdained the way to strengthen the country and the weak people.
The relationship between the court and the people is by no means antagonistic.
When the people are rich and strong, no one is willing to rebel with their heads, the people will be stable, the society will roll forward, the country will naturally be strong, and the rule of the old Yang family will become more and more stable, which is a positive feedback.
"Yui!" Zhao Aqi looked puzzled, with his brain, he couldn't figure out the connection, but he still carried it out faithfully.
This is also what Yang Zheng likes most about him, he is loyal and never compromises his orders.
Jin Yiwei is a good knife, but as a tool, it is not a good thing to have too many ideas of your own.
There are people who buy official coal in the market, and the price of private coal is low, and ordinary people can also enjoy it.
Yang Zheng asked the government to remind the people that when they use this thing for heating, they must be ventilated, otherwise they will be poisoned.
The creativity of the people is unlimited, and there are fireplaces and kang in the people's homes, and briquettes can be burned, wood, and cow dung can also be burned, and in the heavy snow, the home is warm.
There have been very few large-scale freezing deaths in Guanzhong.
Hebei has also stabilized.
Ma Long sits in Youzhou, and the raids of previous years have long disappeared, Xianbei and Wuhuan are silent, and they continue to be called ministers, and many tribes simply move inward.
However, Liaodong was still occupied by Murong, Duan, Yuwen, and Goguryeo, and there was no intention of returning it.
Constantly claiming to be canonized is actually getting Great Qin to recognize the land they occupy.
Of course Yang Zheng would not agree, there are a large number of Han family children in Liaodong, and it is impossible to give them away in such a vague way and become the capital for the rise of foreign races.
In that year, Biqiu Jian went on an eastward expedition, fought all the way to the Far East coastal area with a small number of troops, incorporated Goguryeo into Youzhou Xuansu County, and also included the Korean Peninsula Lingdong Haoqian area, and the territory of Southeast Chen Korea into the two counties of Lelang and Obifang, not only recovering the entire territory of the four Han counties, but also expanding thousands of miles, which was the farthest in the history of the Central Plains Dynasty in the northeast.
It's a pity that Sima Yi migrated to Liaodong Han people to fill Hebei, resulting in a shortage of population in Liaodong, which could be defeated, but could not hold on.
