Chapter 190: Lin Chong's Horse
Master Meng smiled and discussed with Song Wen, this Taoshan County is really poor now! Now that the trade route is opened, it will take some time for the trade of Daqingshan County and Taoshan County to flourish, but the imperial court ordered the construction of the Daqingshan military village to start immediately, and the money and grain of the state capital can be allocated soon...... Can Song Zhizhai and Song Patrol raise their noble hands to allow Taoshan County to take less money and grain?
Song Wen arched his hand and said to Master Meng: "My household registration has fallen in Taoshan County, since I am a villager in Taoshan County, how can I let the villagers suffer for my own military village?" Don't be ashamed of your lords. ”
Master Meng breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "In this way, I will let the rich families in the county get together, plus a horse of grain from the treasury to send to you, and all the land that can be cultivated within thirty miles near Daqing Mountain will be given to you, and the taxes will be paid according to the military village...... You don't have to pay a penny for the first three years! ”
Song Wen felt a pang in his heart...... Grandma's, make this trick fool Lao Tzu again? Those broken mountains are really hard to cultivate! The key is that there are so many farmers to farm now?
Master Meng is really exquisite, and continued with a smile: "There are also those displaced people who have been coerced by thieves, the state government originally planned to repatriate all of them to their hometowns, but it has been a mess for more than ten years, and it is also a difficult problem where to settle these people...... Wu Yuanwai wanted the official to sell their officials, and they bought them to be tenant farmers or servants, but the official felt that Song Zhizhai definitely needed these people to help build a military village for cultivation and labor...... So the official refused. ”
This guy is coming and going, and he doesn't want to think about it, those few bird squires want to cheat people from Lao Tzu, will Lao Tzu agree?
However, Song Wen was also in the city, and arched his hand with a smile: "That's true, Song Wen thank you for your care!" There are still more than 500 old and weak women, children, men and women up and down in Daqing Mountain, I will follow all of them, and I will not let them rebel and make trouble in Taoshan County in the future! ”
Seeing that Song Wen's expression was naturally no longer resentful, Master Meng also breathed a sigh of relief...... The two of them simply set up a banquet and drank a good meal of celebration and share the stolen wine, and Song Wen also reciprocated by giving a box of beads and jewelry seized from the Daqing Mountain Thieves' Den to Master Meng for a memory...... Master Meng naturally laughed and accepted it, and the two guys with bad stomachs drank the wine happily.
The last surprise was actually given to Song Wen by Gao Yu.
The commander of the North Jingxi Road ordered the entire armory of Taoshan County to be handed over to Song Wenchong to prepare for the Daqingshan Military Village, and by the way, a 1,000-soldier volunteer post was set up for the Daqingshan Military Village! In the future, money, food, and weapons should all be directly allocated from the commander......
Song Wen was so happy that he almost jumped up, he had been thinking about that arsenal for a long time! Everything doesn't matter, the point is that the dozens of Divine Arm Bows and three hundred Iron Armor inside are too attractive...... There are also thousands of shields, swords, spears, arrows, in short, it is definitely not a problem to organize an elite army of five hundred people when you make good use of it!
1,000 people, and now I can pull out a team of about 250 people at full capacity, and it seems that the army is going to be expanded...... Song Wen suddenly felt that he had become poor again. This feeling is what Song Wen hates the most.
Holding two positions, Song Wenwen was impatient to do a county inspection, but his business began to spread in Taoshan County, and several commercial houses were opened.
In the chaos, Master Meng made up grain and copper coins for Song Wen, and the rich men gritted their teeth and handed over another sum, and Song Wen assured them that with their own Daqingshan military village in one day, they would ensure that their family wealth and commercial trade would no longer be remembered by thieves!
After settling down the barracks, he shocked the remaining captives, and Meng was a good person to the end, and simply gave Song Wen more than 20 prisoners who were about to grow maggots and become moldy in the county prison and threw them into Daqingshan for labor.
Leaving thirty village soldiers to guard the gate of the city wall, Li Erlang took the rest of the men to escort the captives and began to toss again...... Go back to Daqingshan to work. Even with the help of the red-faced tiger Wu Si, only Xiaofuzi was left to guard hundreds of homeless people over there, and Song Wen was really not at ease.
handed over a lot of money, food and personnel, Song Wen left Wang Laogui to help him sort out the files or something, and left the county government and went directly to the military treasury!
The five old Xiang Jun are still a little frustrated, although they have long been abandoned by the Xiang Army? But this time, it is really a lower-level village soldier.
Song Wen attached great importance to these old soldiers, so he said that they would go to Qingshan Village to retire, but after some discussion, several old soldiers actually wanted to go to Daqingshan Military Village...... Song Wen thought about it and felt that this matter was feasible!
Several old soldiers have experienced real battle formations, especially the three old guys led by them, who have played with the Western Xia Party Xiang Tartars in the northwest with the border army...... These experiences are not possessed by Lin Chong, Li Erlang, or even Li Yan, and Daruchi's itinerary has been roughly decided, and he can send Daruchi back to the grassland to open up trade routes as long as Brother Yelu Mountain of Liao agrees.
Song Wen knew that the Jiangnan uprising should be close at hand! Liao people and horses planted ...... It is likely that he was already on the way, and Tong Guan's envoy to Liao was severely ridiculed by the old lamp of Emperor Tianzuo this time...... Since then, Tong Guan and the Liao State have been endlessly festive, otherwise how could Ma Zhi alone let him return to the Great Song Dynasty to encourage Wenqing and Zhao Ji to calculate the Liao State to recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?
Five years! Song Wen knew that his ability was not like those time-travelers who had opened the golden finger, and it seemed that a few farts would be able to save the world in the palm of his hand! The Great Song Dynasty has come to this point, as long as Song Huizong Zhao Ji starts a war against the Liao, the shame of Jingkang is almost a sure end.
Within five years, he must control a strong army, and he must have more powerful armaments than this era to make up for the gap in combat effectiveness......
Northwest, Yellow River! There are also places that I have been optimistic about for a long time...... A place that should now be called the Dengju Peninsula! That's where I really look good about the space where I can stand on my own and develop independently...... Enter the Central Plains, retreat to Yang Fan and go to his mother's! As long as you hold a fleet in your hands, where can't you go?
Song Wen walked through this old and decaying armament depot, watching a few old soldiers bend their waists and watch with distress as the soldiers of the Qingshan Battalion packed up all the military equipment and took them away, loaded them into a cart and transported them to the barracks......
Under the sunset, several old soldiers squatted silently in the corner, and the tall, thick but old house walls behind them complemented the old army, just like this decaying and declining imperial dynasty.
Song Wen said to An Chun behind him: "Buy more wine and meat, I'll have a good drink with a few old-timers tonight......"
"Yes, brother!"
After a while, a soldier from the Qingshan Battalion rushed over panting, bowed to Song Wen and said, "Lang Jun, Brother Lin Chong had a conflict with someone on the side of the barracks...... The one who came was a living person, looking lawless! fell in love with Lin Chong's brother's war horse, and the two groups almost fought......"
Song Wen was stunned...... Now in this Taoshan County, there are still children who dare to find trouble in Qingshan Camp? Did you take mad medicine?
"Do you see who it is?"
"A fat man of seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in brocade clothes with a dozen followers...... Saying that he is Lang Jun's brother, Brother Lin Chong seems to look down on him very much, but what do you call him......"
"I wipe ...... No way? ”
Song Wen's mind suddenly appeared in Gao Yanei's round belly and the fat face and small eyes that made people hate at a glance.
Isn't that guy having fun playing horse racing in Bianliang? How did you come to Taoshan County, a poor and remote country?
