Chapter 133 Successful Cases Thinking about retreating before advancing
This is a case in the past, and it is a successful example.
When Yu Feng was dealing with the Wang family in Ye County, although he avenged Wu Shengnan's annihilation, it was also the Wang family's land that benefited a lot.
Yu Feng followed Mu Haitao's suggestion to connect these fields together, set up farms on these fields, and sent special personnel to manage them, and by this autumn, it was already quite effective.
These fields have a bit of a taste of the collective farms of later generations, except that he is the sole owner of them. Although Shandong has also been affected by the drought this year, whether it is irrigation, planting, etc., in the farm, because of the collective overall planning, it has avoided the impact of most of the disasters, although the harvest is worse than last year, but compared with those helpless farmers, it is already a very remarkable thing.
The fact that there was food and clothing in the year of the catastrophe fully proved the feasibility of this kind of collective farm, and even more so that those who had been quite complaining about the management of the fields in this way suddenly all stopped, and no one could deny that there was now a living thing in front of them.
Not only that, some farmers and small landlords near the original farm, although they did not have a talent like Mu Haitao, they also had an account in their hearts. Although the farm will collect 60% of all the harvest, but the farm tools, ploughing cattle, and even irrigation in the water and other things are basically all covered, and even the seed money can be paid to them in advance, and they can pay it back when the autumn harvest comes.
First, scattered peasant households took the initiative to attach their fields to their nearby farms, and then small landlords began to come into frequent contact with the stewards of the farms, and according to their wishes, as long as the statutes of the farms remained unchanged, they were willing to join the system. Of course, these fields still belong to them, but the management rights are given to the farm, and part of the production of the fields is regarded as a management fee. It is foreseeable that next year, the farms in this county are bound to swell a lot.
At present, the grain produced by the farms in this county has become the main source of military food for the Fengzi battalion, and there is even surplus grain to reserve. Yu Feng thought like this, since this model has proved to be completely desirable, can he also promote this model in Xincheng?
It doesn't matter if there is no manpower, in the current year of the catastrophe, refugees in Shandong, Tianjin, and Liaodong are everywhere, in order not to starve to death, these refugees have left their hometowns and fled in all directions, they only need to be properly guided, and provide them with transportation, are you afraid that these refugees who are hovering on the verge of death will not be able to refuse. If you can stutter and live, who wants to run to death with all your might!
Providing them with land for farming, food for them to survive the famine, and agricultural tools and seeds can be owed to them on credit in advance, such conditions are something that no refugee can refuse. What's more, this farm is managed by people sent by Yu Feng, and the managers from top to bottom, and even the village protection team organized to "guard against thieves" are theoretically Yu Feng's subordinates.
Comparing the militia system of the Celestial Empire in the later generations, Yu Feng believes that even if it is a loss and a discount to money, this thing must be done. What's more, this is not a loss-making business, it can not only provide military rations, but also provide a stable source of soldiers, and this farm has become the last shelter for these refugees, even if he doesn't say it, these people also know that their hope lies in these fields, if someone fights their idea of these fields, they are bound to fight back and defend to the death, which is indirectly equivalent to that as long as the farm is done, where it is equivalent to the actual control area of Yu Feng, it can be said that it is a land grab, "moisturizing things silently", Such a good thing, if Yu Feng doesn't do it, he will be a fool.
"This port in the new city is the top priority, no matter what, you abandoned the port and retreated to the lonely city, this is the practice of putting the cart before the horse, if the enemy is strong, even if it is temporarily out to sea to avoid it, it is not impossible, let the lives of the sons and daughters be wasted on the battle of this city and a place, it can't be rowed!"
Yu Feng earnestly taught: "If this is the case, I will not punish you, at least, Dengzhou is still in our hands, and the sons of Xincheng still have a place to go." If the port is not in our hands, even if our Fengzi battalion sends reinforcements, I am afraid that we will have to pay a lot of price if we can go ashore, and we may not even be able to go ashore, so what's the use of you retreating to the lonely city? ”
"In addition to this retreat, this port, to attract more businessmen, this time I brought some equipment and silver, the equipment is for their own use, if the North Koreans want to come to collect the rent, those firearms, you have considered trading with them, you have done a lot of these things before, I will not go into details, but the things to pay attention to, we don't want money, we want them to use farm tools, cattle, horses to exchange, these things, we can use them in the spring!"
"What about the man?" Yun Qingshan was still worried, what was the use of no one cultivating with these alone.
"I will arrange people to recruit displaced people in places such as Shandong and Tianjin, and you can also use those trading ships to let out the wind and recruit displaced people, I believe that as long as we provide them with a bite to eat, help them survive the whole winter, and wait until the beginning of spring, these lands in Xincheng will not worry about no one cultivating them!" Yu Feng said unappreciatively.
"Yes, my subordinates know what to do!" Yun Qingshan's eyes are shining, this is "Daming fills the new city"? If so, what is the difference between him, the highest official of the new city, and being a county magistrate in Daming?
"This matter, when the grain ship you buy grain comes back, you can start to do it, this winter, the more people we recruit, the more abundant we will be in the coming year, and we don't have to worry about others taking this piece of land away from us!"
Yun Qingshan really admired himself, the general, obviously a bad thing with insufficient food, in the hands of adults, such a toss, even after elimination, it actually became a good thing, however, admiration is admiration, even if he thought of this idea, he couldn't do it, how much courage does it take to move the people of the Ming Dynasty to this overseas wilderness, so that this thing can come, to put it mildly, this is no different from those thieves who are making trouble in Shanxi and Shaanxi.
If you have to talk about the difference, it is that the adults of their own family and those bandit leaders, although they are all gatherings, but one gathering is to make trouble, kill officials and rebel, and the adults gather to give those homeless people a way to live, a hope, of course, by the way, they have also strengthened their own strength, as for what will continue to happen after the strength of the adults, he does not dare to think about it, but since he has already boarded the big ship of the Fengzi Battalion, and has such an identity and status, he will not kill him if he is asked to get off the ship.
Yu Feng stayed in Xincheng for almost ten days, and after making sure that the revenge of the Tartars would not come, he returned to Dengzhou with his people. Even so, he still told Yun Qingshan very much, for those Tatar activities in North Korea, to be strictly vigilant, pay attention to their movements at any time, this is originally the North Korean government's business, but this government is really a little unable to support the wall, this thing has to be done by themselves.
Of course, Mu Haitao's Sky Crew should also increase the intensity of activities in North Korea, although the Tianji Battalion and the Sky Crew are one system, but the division of labor has been significantly different, in terms of function, the Sky Crew is much larger than the Tianji Battalion, and the Sky Crew is the intelligence spy work of the whole army of the Fengzi Battalion, as long as it is where the Yu Feng forces are located or even in the area that Yu Feng cannot control, they can operate.
But the Tianji Battalion seems to have gradually separated from the Tianji Battalion and become an army subordinate to the Tianji Battalion, only responsible for the new city, although their top boss is still Mu Haitao Mu Zhenfu, but, as the commander of the Tianji Battalion, Deputy Qianhu, Yun Qingshan is already qualified to report directly to Yu Feng, and in fact, there are not many times when the Tianji Crew directly uses the power of the Tianji Battalion, so this Tianji Crew and the Tianji Battalion seem to be more like two parallel units.
This point, after Yu Feng Xincheng and his party, Yun Qingshan's feeling is particularly obvious, if it is said that Mu Haitao gave him the order before, he will definitely not have other ideas except for the correct implementation, but after this time, if there is anything unreasonable or questioned in Mu Haitao's order, he is likely to report it to Yu Feng first, and then make a decision.
It is to win over, but also to differentiate, inadvertently, Yu Feng showed the skill of not leaking the landscape, maybe he himself may not be very clear, but the result is real. Since ancient times, pondering the meaning of the upper hand is a necessary lesson for a person who is an official, and sometimes some actions of the superior may not be very profound, but the person concerned can figure out a different meaning, and can also find his own theoretical basis for this meaning.
Yun Qingshan's understanding is that adults value this new city so much, just to create a way out for themselves, and when the situation is bad in the future, adults will at least have the capital to make a comeback, although this idea is a bit unspeakable, but, if it weren't for this reason, there is no reason for adults to be so concerned about this place.
Since this is the case, and the adults have entrusted such an important place to themselves, then there is no doubt that they have entered the eyes of adults, and this is to reuse their own meaning. Looking at the soldiers brought by the adults, all the kind of firecrackers that don't use the arquebus, and the hook guns made of fine iron, those swarms that can fire dozens of arrows at a time, how much money does it take to buy it, if you don't give the adults a good management of this place, it is really a chance to fly away from your eyes.
