"I can't imagine that a small township in Yunxi County can have so much food and money."

Chen Gong looked at the document in his hand, it was really a little unbelievable, to be honest, the harvest this time was indeed beyond his expectations.

In addition to more than 20,000 stone of grain, there are also more than 20,000 taels of silver.

The annual shortfall in military spending is about 100,000 taels, and it is more than 20,000 taels per quarter.

The military spending problem in this quarter has now been directly solved in this way, which made Chen Gong a little unexpected.

Compared with the unbelievable Chen Gong, in the face of such a harvest, Chen Wang did not feel surprised at all.

"The ancients said that Su Changshu, the world is full, but now Su Chang and other places in many places are planting mulberry cotton in exchange for money, the output of grain is declining year by year, and Huguang with the prosperity of the people, the increase of acres, the output of grain and rice is gradually rising."

"Yunyang is a place that extends in all directions, there are many merchants, and it is naturally rich, these silver coins are quite good, have you forgotten the cards we set up in Hanzhong Mansion, and the annual profit from tariffs alone is already about the same price as selling illicit salt?"

Huguang is the land of fish and rice, the geography and climate are unique, and after the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Huguang officially became the largest production area.

In the early days of the Qing Dynasty, it is not an exaggeration to say that the lake is wide and ripe, and the world is full.

Naturally, there will be no such harvest in the ordinary township of Shaanxi, but this is Huguang.

The reason for the harvest of such food and money is simple.

The reason for the abundance of grain is that Huguang is the land of fish and rice, and the grain production is higher than in many places.

Moreover, if there is turmoil today, the rich gentry everywhere, but some of them will hoard food in case of emergency.

The reason for the abundance of silver is simpler, in the late Ming Dynasty, the landlords and squires received silver money, except for a part of the expenses used for luxury life, most of the silver money was stored.

What's more, they will melt gold and silver and other things into large shapes such as winter melons, which are very heavy, each weighing hundreds of pounds, which can effectively prevent thieves.

"Sure enough, it is a gold belt of murder and arson, horses have no night grass and no fat, and people have no windfall and no wealth, big brother, what you said is really right."

Chen Gong smiled happily at this time, was in a good mood, and said with a smile.

"20,000 yuan of silver, 20,000 stone of grain, the most profitable business in the world, after all, is still this business without capital."

Chen Wang's expression was as usual, and he was not as happy as Chen Gong.

The power is in hand, the world can be driven, and the reason why we can do this businessless business is still the authority in our hands in the final analysis.

Yang Sichang led the troops to Xiangyang, Zheng Chongjian led the troops to Henan, and now the entire Yunyang and Hanzhong provinces are under his control, and he can't control civil affairs, but all matters above the military are in his thoughts.

Although the common people did not have much money in their hands, in the end they were numerous, and they gathered a lot of money, and I am afraid that they were no less than the grain, grass, gold and silver that were scavenged from the hands of these rich gentry.

"Trading without capital is easy to do, but it is not the right way after all."

Chen Wang was very sober and did not lose his mind because of this.

Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Zuo Liangyu and others in history are examples of the past.

A large amount of money was looted in the early stage, resulting in a large amount of start-up funds, which allowed it to develop and grow.

However, as the gold and silver looted from the savings were gradually exhausted, the shortcomings in it were gradually exposed, and eventually the entire power was affected and began to disintegrate.

"Sitting on the empty mountain, eating the ground and sinking, even if you have a mountain of gold and silver, if there is no input, one day it will come to the end of the mountain."

"Deduct the silver money used as military expenses this quarter, and the rest of the silver money, grain and grass will all be transported back to Hanzhong Mansion, and the development of Hanzhong Mansion must not be stopped."

"The Hanzhong government asked Wang Yuankang to continue digging deep wells and building dams, waterwheels, reservoirs and other hydraulic works according to the original plan."

Next year will be the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and a drought that will be more severe than the twelfth year will sweep through most of the territory of Hanzhong, and the drought will lead to a large-scale famine in Hanzhong.

Some of the smaller tributaries of the Han River have even been cut off because of it, and only the land on both sides of the Han River has been less affected.

The only way to minimize the damage is to build water conservancy and prepare in advance.

As long as the drought of Chongzhen has survived thirteen years, it has not been plagued by drought for 100 years, and it has only suffered from the threat of flooding.

The construction of water conservancy can not only solve the problem of drought, but also reduce the impact of waterlogging, killing two birds with one stone.

"Big brother, don't worry, I will supervise everything in Hanzhong Mansion."

Chen Gong's face was slightly solemn, and he had always been unswervingly committed to the things that Chen Wang had ordered.

Chen Wang bowed slightly, and his mind relaxed a lot.

According to the current situation, thirteen years of drought will not have much impact on the area under his control.

But for ordinary people, it's still a disaster.

But this is an opportunity for Chen Wang, an opportunity to absorb all these refugees.

In this year's famine in Henan, a large number of Henan victims poured into the territory of Yunxiang, and many of them entered the territory of Hanzhong Mansion through Yunyang Mansion.

Many of these victims who flowed into Hanzhong Mansion from Henan were left by Du Wugang in the Xing'an Thousand Households, and the things Du Wugang did were naturally instructed by Chen Wang.

Because of the absorption of those ownerless fields, the Hung Yen Shouyu Thousand Households Institute has always been a vast land with few people, and many acres of land have not been cultivated.

"The matter in the north of Yunyang will soon reach Yang Sichang's ears, he asked me to take charge of Hanzhong and Yunyang, and now that there is chaos in the north of Yunyang, I will inevitably raise troops to the north to give an explanation."

"When I led the troops to the north, you led the troops to stay in Xing'an, and controlled one guard and two offices in Hanzhong Mansion for me."

For the future development, Chen Wang had already planned everything when he went south.

"How's it going down south?"

There is already a big divergence between the current situation and the original course of history.

Zhang Xianzhong did not break through the Baitu Pass, nor did he enter the territory of Xing'an, so his route into Sichuan became longer, and his progress was much behind in history.

After Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai joined forces and entered Sichuan, they soon parted ways.

Zhang Xianzhong led the elite soldiers and horses around Wushan, passed the Fengjie, and galloped directly to the west of Kuizhou through Yunyang.

At this time, because Sichuan Dong was successively transferred by Yang Sichang, the troops were empty and insufficient.

Zhang Xianzhong was like a bamboo, breaking through the deployment of the Sichuan soldiers one after another, and the troops in eastern Sichuan could only defend the big city.

Luo Rucai, on the other hand, seized the air raid and led his soldiers and horses through the unfortified east of Wushan and went straight to Badong in Jingzhou Prefecture.

Yang Sichang had earlier ordered Shao Jiechun to prevent Liukoudong from entering Jingzhou Mansion, but Shao Jiechun did not follow the order in order to guard the east of Sichuan.

At that time, according to the decree of the imperial court, if the city was lost, the governor would be convicted.

Yang Sichang's plan was to take the initiative to let the thieves enter Sichuan, use Sichuan as a prison, and clamp down on the rogues.

This is indeed beneficial to Yang Sichang, but for Shao Jiechun's view, for the governor of Sichuan, once the rogue breaks through the city and causes killings, he, the newly appointed governor of Sichuan, will lose his official position.

Shao Jiechun's disobedience to orders directly led to Luo Rucai's diversion into Jingzhou Mansion.

At this time, in the Jingzhou Mansion, the Ming army only had Yang Shien and Luo Anbang two battalions of just over 4,000 soldiers and horses.

This was information sent from the south in early November.

Chen Wang has been busy with the reorganization of the troops and dealing with the internal affairs of Hanzhong Mansion during this time, so he has no time to be distracted.

So let Chen Gong help pay attention to the situation in the south.

"In mid-November, Luo Rucai turned around and entered Jingzhou Mansion, plundered Badong, and killed the local gentry."

"The latest Tang report, Luo Rucai has led the army to Xingshan, Yuan'an area, occupy the mountain as a camp, divide the land as a base, and the soldiers are directed at Yiling."

"Xingshan?"

Chen Wang's eyes condensed slightly, and the situation in Jingzhou Mansion today is not much different from history.

Luo Rucai led his troops into Jingzhou Mansion, and Yang Sichang ordered Yang Shien, the deputy commander-in-chief of Huguang, and Luo Anbang, the general of Jingmen, to lead the troops to the rescue.

It's just that at this time, Luo Rucai was not beside Hui Deng.

Hui Dengxiang rebelled several times in history, but because of his own intervention, today's Hui Dengxiang honestly did not rebel, and even followed King Qin to the north, and later returned to Shaanxi with Shaanxi's soldiers and horses, and did not rebel with Luo Rucai.

Now Hui Dengxiang is serving under Zheng Chongjian, and he is following Zheng Chongjian to quell the turmoil in Henan.

Luo Rucai did not have the help of Hui Dengxiang this time, but I am afraid that he will still be able to defeat Yang Shien and Luo Anbang.

After all, Yang Shien and Luo Anbang only have 4,000 soldiers and horses under their command, which is still too few after all.

They didn't have the slightest chance of stopping Luo Rucai.

"Where is Zhang Xianzhong now?"

Luo Rucai will be entrenched in Jingzhou Mansion for a long time, so Luo Rucai is not important now.

Compared with Luo Rucai, Chen Wang is more concerned about where Zhang Xianzhong is now.

"The latest news is that five days ago, Zhang Xianzhong's headquarters had passed through Kaixian County and marched towards Xinning, west of Kaixian, and the Sichuan soldiers along the road could not resist and were all broken by it."

"Kaixian, Xinning."

Chen Wang's eyes flickered, in the autumn and winter of the twelfth year of Chongzhen to the spring of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai raised the banner of rebellion again, he did not know much.

He only remembered that Luo Rucai defeated Yang Shien and Luo Anbang in Jingzhou Mansion, causing Fang Kongzhi, the governor of Huguang, to be dismissed from office.

And Zhang Xianzhong ran into Sichuan after the withdrawal of Xing'an.

In the first month of the thirteenth year, he was defeated by Zuo Liangyu in Kupingguan, and then surrounded by Zuo Liangyu in Agate Mountain in Taiping County, Kuizhou Prefecture, Sichuan.

Chen Wang only remembered these few major events.

A lot of things have changed.

But it seems that Zhang Xianzhong and Luo Rucai's plans have not changed much because of his interference.

Zhang Xianzhong is now leading his troops straight to the west of Kuizhou Mansion, which is to once again make a posture of entering Hanzhong Mansion, so as to attract Yang Sichang's attention again.

And Luo Rucai was also fighting in Jingzhou Mansion, attracting Yang Sichang to lead the troops to attack.

Chen Wang stroked the jade hammer (shè) in his hand, and his eyes also fell on the map of Sanfu hanging not far in front of him.

Because of his intervention, Zuo Liangyu is still just an ordinary general soldier, and he does not have the seal of the thief general.

He is the person who hangs the seal of the thief general, and he is also the person responsible for guarding the Hanzhong Mansion.

The position occupied by Chen Wang now is the position occupied by Zuo Liangyu in history.

As early as this moment, history is already going to take a completely different path.

The topography of the mountains and rivers on the map changed in Chen Wang's eyes.

The city and the pass also changed with Chen Wang's gaze.

"Taiping County ......"

Chen Wang stared at Yutu, it was impossible for him to let Zhang Xianzhong lead the troops into the Hanzhong Mansion, and there would inevitably be a battle at that time.

However, unlike in history, because of the weak troops in eastern Sichuan at the beginning, Zhang Xianzhong did not encounter much resistance all the way.

But this time, on the way north, Zhang Xianzhong will encounter obstacles.

All of this is already in Chen Wang's plan.

Calculating the time, Chen Yilong and Wu Shenghua's more than 9,000 Sichuan soldiers who rushed south to help are probably also arriving near Dazhou, the capital of Kuizhou, at this time.

Dazhou is the next battle after Zhang Xianzhong passed Xinning.

The more than 9,000 Sichuan soldiers led by Chen Yilong and Wu Shenghua should have set up a defense in Dazhou now, waiting for Zhang Xianzhong to collide head-on.

I don't know how wonderful Zhang Xianzhong's face will be when he leads his troops to Dazhou and sees Chen Yilong and Wu Shenghua.

In the face of such a situation, how will Zhang Xianzhong choose, whether he will continue to go north, or will he turn back.

Chen Yilong and Wu Shenghua can block Zhang Xianzhong, but they still can't stop Zhang Xianzhong.

All of this is now unknown.

Chen Wang slowly stood up, and he stood on the chessboard earlier than expected.

Because of his arrival, this world has already become unrecognizable, and the future has gradually become blurred from clear.

Chen Wang's advantages, his understanding of the future, and his understanding of history are gradually disappearing.

But in Chen Wang's heart, there is no fear of the unknown in the future.

Timidity and looking ahead has never been Chen Wang's style.

"The rogue in the southern mountains of Fang County won't make much action, but they still need to be careful and take precautions immediately."

Chen Wang's back was straight, and his momentum was high.

"The war in the south has not yet affected the two prefectures of Hanzhong and Yunyang."

He is no longer the student who spends his days in the mountains of books.

He is no longer the one who only has bravery, but no martial arts.

Chen Wang's eyes were bright and determined.

If everything follows the original trajectory, then what is the point of all this he does?

What about losing a prophet for the future?

The future is wonderful because of the unknown!

Look at the mountains red all over, the forests are dyed; The river is clear and transparent, and hundreds of boats compete for the stream.

The eagle strikes the sky, the fish soars to the shallow bottom, and all kinds of frost compete freely.

Who is in this realm, we still don't know everything!
