Chapter 307: Determination to Regain Gui and Ning!
"Your Majesty, it's better to do this, I will open another superintendent in Guozijian and only recruit students with strong hands-on ability!"
"When these students study with me, after they have achieved something, they will all go back and forth from where they are, and earn five baht by relying on the skills they have learned!"
"Hahahaha! Very good, very good! ”
As he spoke, Zu Wenyuan himself laughed happily.
……
Guizhou, what makes Yang Jian feel strange is the climate here.
It's December, and it's still hot in armor.
What's even more bizarre is that the farmland of the local people's homes is golden like autumn, and the courtyards of each family are full of shelled rice particles to be scooped into rice.
This harvest was unexpected by Yang Jian, he didn't expect that Lingnan, a wild land, could still cultivate farmland in winter.
Originally, he was waiting for the harvest of the twenty states under his rule in April of the following year before he had enough food and grass to recruit new soldiers.
As a result, it is now five months ahead of schedule.
Yang Jian was so excited that he shouted "God help me" again and again!
He didn't dare to leave Guizhou for the time being, for fear that as soon as he left on his front foot, Tang Yong on his back foot would be killed from Yelang County.
The new governor's mansion in Chengdu has already been built, and Zheng Yi, who is in charge of the new governor's mansion, has already sent the news to Guizhou, but Yang Jian has not moved away.
Although he was looking forward to entering his own palace.
Fortunately, after he took these 20 states, he did not announce the abolition of rent, and each household took one of the nine middle of the old law of the Great Zhou Dynasty as rent, and then took half of the actual harvest as the rent.
With this alone, Yang Jian harvested tens of millions of stones, grains and grasses!
At the same time, he also learned from the collection of rents that although there were 20 states under his rule, there were less than a million peasant households.
As a result, Yang Jian issued a proclamation abolishing the punishment for the displaced people and reclaiming land for the displaced people.
So that the displaced people no longer hide in Tibet, but also settle down in the territory and cultivate the land honestly.
At the same time, the governance model of Guizhou was extended to the 18 prefectures in the area of Jiaozhou and Chengzhou.
That is, to follow the example of the nine temples and five prisons, and govern the rule.
After the requisitioned grain and grass arrived at the warehouse one after another, Yang Jian was impatient to issue a recruitment order in 20 states, and with the generous salary, the number of people who responded to the recruitment reached 50,000 in just half a month!
At this time, Yang Jian's vigilance against the 50,000 forbidden troops of the former Zhou State under his command was finally half relaxed.
What he was most worried about these days was that the 50,000 forbidden troops of the former Zhou State would see through his self-reliance plot and rebel.
Now that he has a force that truly belongs to him, Yang Jian is no longer so afraid.
Yang Jian deliberately set up the first casting yard in Chengzhou, which was not only far away from Guizhou, but also radiated to the surrounding state cities under his rule.
After the opening of the castry, Yang Jian realized that the matter of minting money was not so simple-
Although the winter in the Central Plains is cold and impossible to cultivate, the Central Plains iron ore.
Lingnan can be said that there is no iron ore at all, and even if there is, he doesn't know where it is, and sending people to find iron ore will take a long time to find it, and he may not be able to find it.
Faced with the problem, Zheng Yi proposed to Yang Jian to "use local materials"——
Although there is no iron or copper in Lingnan, there are many tin mines, and it is not impossible to make money with tin.
Moreover, they are all trying to stand on their own, so why follow the practice of the Great Zhou again?
Yang Jian listened to the reasonableness of his words, so he accepted Zheng Yi's proposal.
As a result, it was not long before the tin money was implemented, and it caused a turmoil.
First of all, Guizhou and Ningzhou are accustomed to using copper coins and money, and the government uses tin money to replace the copper coins and money in the hands of the people.
In the remaining 18 states, a large-scale chaos caused by counterfeit money broke out, resulting in people not wanting to use tin money at all.
Because the tin is soft, the difficulty of counterfeiting is very low, and the fake money that is counterfeited on a large scale looks no different from the real money.
The people were reluctant to do it, and when they tried to implement unified grain collection with the Department of Agriculture, the people refused to be exchanged for their own grain production.
……
Jiaozhou, a depressed and empty urban area, a new grain store and salt store were set up near the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion.
Earlier, he was stupid enough to listen to the words of the officials of the Department of Agriculture and sell his own grain to the old woman of the Department of Agriculture at a price of ten yuan per catty.
With a bag of tin money in his pocket, he went to the salt shop to buy salt.
As a result, the clerk of the salt shop glanced at her money, and when he opened his mouth, he asserted that it was fake money and would not sell it.
This can make the old woman half dead, and she didn't dare to conflict with the official master, so she could only explain in every possible way with an anxious and anxious face that the money was given to her by the people of the Department of Agriculture when she collected grain from her.
How could the government give her fake money?
It's a pity that no matter how much she says, the priest doesn't even bother to give her a straight look.
The old woman was anxious, and her heart was uneasy -
The food is gone, but the people who buy things don't want the money.
Doesn't this mean that she has nothing to eat, nothing to eat?
How will you live in the future?
The more she thought about it, the more frightened the old woman stood at the door of the salt shop in a daze, but she didn't come up in one breath, and swallowed her breath directly.
The old woman's family was full of grief and indignation, and after the old woman was buried, they beat drums and shouted grievances in the Jiaozhou Governor's Mansion.
For a while, the city was full of wind and rain, and everyone knew it.
Not to mention that the Governor's Mansion doesn't know what to do, even Yang Jian doesn't know how to deal with it.
With an attitude of calming things down, he ordered the governor's office to return the rice and grain in full, and to recover the tin money given at that time when the grain was collected, on the grounds that it would be withdrawn and then slowly verify the authenticity.
As a result, after the verdict of this case was announced, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the peasant households and people in the entire Jiaozhou took the money and regretted not selling the grain.
The forced governor's office decided to suppress it by force, and only then did he reluctantly suppress the chaos.
However, Yang Jian didn't take these civilians too seriously, governing the country will always encounter various problems, just take your time.
……
At the Yanjiang ferry port in Yelang County, a thousand-mile ship came galloping.
Three guards lieutenants dressed in crimson official robes hurriedly changed carriages and went to the Yelang County Governor's Mansion to deliver a Jingzhong decree to Tang Yong.
"The edict of the Son of Heaven said: I know that Gui and Ning Erzhou have been stolen by the traitor Yang Jian, and I feel that the matter is very important, and the DPRK and China have decided to recover by force, but before that, please return to Beijing immediately and discuss with me the matter of recovery."
Tang Yong saw that he was going to leave, and immediately wanted to return with the three lieutenants.
Losing Gui and Ning, Tang Yong was not so humiliated, but the humiliating thing was that he was actually put on a table by Yang Jian during the negotiation that day, indiscriminately, and publicly slandered him in black and white.
The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.
In the matter of recovery, he couldn't sit still for a long time, so he waited for the DPRK and China to immediately lead his troops to war!
As a result, Yuwen Shihong told him to go back to Beijing first.
"Don't hide it from the three generals, how to recover Guining, this general has already planned, and I can guarantee that nothing will go wrong."
"It's better for the three generals to bring my strategy back to Beijing, as long as Your Majesty approves, this general will immediately lead his troops to the battle!"
"I don't have to bump back and forth, and when I return to Yelang from Beijing, I will have to rest for a few days before I can pull out."
"It's not a waste of time."
