Originally, Daming did not have Hanhai Province, but Cheng Shijie came, and there was Hanhai Province in this time and space, not only Hanhai Province, but also Hanhai Mansion.

On the shore of Hanhai Lake, about three kilometers away from the riverside, Lu Xiangsheng also knows that there is no shortage of grain in Daming now, at least Liaodong Grain Storage Chaofu is located on the south shore of Lake Baikal over 30 million stones, these grains are only last year's old grain, new grain, it is estimated that Liaodong's grain will exceed 50 or 60 million stones.

Especially with the recovery of Jiangnan, Fujian, and Liangguang, the Ming court can get more grain in its hands, of course, there are also many expenditures, and nearly 20 million stones were used just to settle the Tusi, and more importantly, this transportation line is too far, and too much food is consumed on the road.

If it is said that 1,000 thousand stone of grain can only be transported up to one stone, even if 3,000 stone is afraid that 30 stone of grain can be transported to one stone, and 100,000 stone to supply the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of Anbei Province, it means that 3 million stone grain is prepared, of which more than 2.9 million stone grain is consumed on the road.

Lu Xiangsheng actually knew that Cheng Shijie sent him over to serve as the governor of Anbei, to put it bluntly, to restore the people's livelihood.

When Lu Xiangsheng arrived in Hanhai, the first decree he issued was to reward the captured Jiannu, Mongolian, and other women of various ethnic groups to the unmarried soldiers of the Anbei Army as concubines, and distribute them to settle down near Hanhai, so that Hanhai City has more than 10,000 family members.

Although the families of these soldiers may not understand the language, it doesn't matter, they can live together and slowly run in, with the prestige of the Anbei Army swept all the way, whether it is the local natives, or the Mobei Mongols and Jiannu women, there is no room for resistance.

These nomadic women are more cooperative than Lu Xiangsheng imagined, in fact, the ethnic tribes in Mobei have always implemented the law of grassland survival, the winner has everything, the loser loses everything, those women have no concept of chastity, whoever is strong, they are willing to live with whom,

Lu Xiangsheng's bottom line is that he can be a concubine, but not a wife, whether he is married or unmarried, all the soldiers will be distributed, and let them build their own houses, herd their own herds, and allow the soldiers to take turns to go home.

Secondly, Lu Xiangsheng fell in love with the people and young men who came to transport grain, and after these people arrived in Hanhai, they did not let them go back immediately, but stayed around Hanhai to farm, of course, farming is the same as transporting grain, and money is given according to the number of working days.

Due to the expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty now, the population is less than in the first year of Chongzhen, and the livelihood projects of the Dingxin Dynasty have done well.

It is not difficult to send an army to Hanhai, and without the people tuntian, it will not be able to hold here. Lu Xiangsheng adopted a deceptive method, and after investigation, he found that many of the people were young men with many brothers, so he let these young men stay, and the total number was more than 3,000.

Therefore, each person was divided into ten cows and twenty sheep, and he could cultivate 500 acres of land and 500 acres of pasture, and in the future, if a child was born here, he could also be allocated at least 500 acres of land.

These people, though unwilling, were forced to stay.

Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes grow around a very short area, and with these grown grains, it can also reduce the transportation burden of the imperial court, and with the same transportation capacity, it can transport more gunpowder, artillery, and bullets for weapons and equipment.

Metropolitan Governor's Palace, Anbei, night.

Lu Xiangsheng stretched out his hand to bake the fire, looked at the dark night sky and said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, all the corn stalks must be made into green storage fodder and stored, it seems that it is colder here than Liaodong!" ”

Gao Zongsheng, chief of staff of the Anbei Army, said: "This belongs to government affairs, is it to put up the shelves of the Hanhai Management Committee......

"The imperial court did not send officials over, and it is estimated that no one wants to send them, which is worse than sending Qiongzhou Mansion!"

Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "Perhaps, the king will appoint the director of the management committee on the front foot, and the people on the back foot will commit suicide!" ”

"That's right, it is estimated that those civil officials will be scared to death!"

Lei Shisheng said with some concern: "If the imperial court wants to occupy this place, it will be difficult!" ”

"What's the news coming from the front?"

Gao Zongsheng said: "The latest news is more than a month ago, and more than 4,000 Cossack cavalry have crossed the Ural Mountains!" ”

"What's going on? Is King Goose a fool? Don't they know that this is a tactic to add fuel to? ”

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said, "It's not that they're stupid, it's that they can't do it!" ”

"Can't do it?"

Lei Shi said: "Didn't you say that the goose has a population of nearly 20 million and an army of hundreds of thousands? It shouldn't be difficult to send tens of thousands of horses, right? ”

"They don't lack soldiers and horses, but they lack food to transport!"

As Lu Xiangsheng judged, the big goose was not a fool, but because the road was too far, the small-scale troops could have taken the battle to feed the war, and a small amount of transportation would have been enough.

However, a large-scale army is not suitable, and now Siberia is a bit difficult for the geese to ride a tiger, first of all, they invested a lot of manpower and money and food, but because of the presence of Bolo, they did not achieve the expected results.

However, because of the climate, they need a truce for half a year every year, and if it was just Bolo himself, without foreign aid and blood transfusion, he would not be able to hold on soon.

After all, the cold blade consumes an average of one-third in a battle, but they don't have the strength to build weapons, originally Jiannu had a large number of craftsmen, but when they went south, they were lost in Monan.

Lu Xiangsheng finally waited for Cheng Shijie and the cabinet's reply, first of all, Cheng Shijie agreed to Lu Xiangsheng's expedient measure to deceive the immigrants, and compensated the families of the immigrants in accordance with the tax exemption for every three years.

The second is that foreigners and Anbei legionnaires intermarry and have children born in marriage, they can obtain the household registration of the Ming Dynasty, make up the households, and enjoy national treatment, of course, if it is a foreign woman who can speak Chinese, she can also be naturalized.

With the endorsement of the cabinet and Cheng Shijie, Lu Xiangsheng increased his trade with Boluo, first increasing the volume of trade in salt, tea, spices, and iron, and even selling the most urgently needed medicines to them.

In Cheng Shijie's private message to Lu Xiangsheng, Cheng Shijie clearly told Lu Xiangsheng that Daming needs time, and now Daming is urgently planning to build a special railway, which will shorten the special line railway from Tianjin to Hanhai.

The railway will start from Tianjin Port and arrive at Hanhai via Beijing, Miyun, Xinghe, Shengjing, Huihan and other places, with a total length of 1,680 kilometers.

Daming will adopt the principle of building while using, of course, at the end of the second year of Dingxin, the route planning and design will be completed, and the factories will make every effort to produce cement sleepers, although wood sleepers are more readily available, but Cheng Shijie takes into account the durability of the railway.

Cheng Shijie gave a special fund allocation for this project, and the source of funds was the capture of the Ming Royal Navy to Xiaori, and more than 15,000 troops were sent back and forth, which lasted six and a half months, and a total of more than 7.8 million taels of silver were obtained.

Cheng Shijie sighed: "It's still fast to rob money!" ”

After arranging this work, Cheng Shijie entered the vacation period.

Sun Zhili had to remind Cheng Shijie: "Daming is still there, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai and other places have not been recovered!" ”

Cheng Shijie looked at Sun Zhili lightly and said, "Do you know why I didn't advocate recovering Shanxi and Shaanxi as soon as possible?" ”

Sun Zhilan asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”

"Because the gentry in the world have done too many evils, Li Zicheng learned the model of the Dashun army, fought the local tyrants and divided the land, and quickly occupied Shaanxi, Shanxi, Gansu, and Qinghai, ordinary people and displaced people are very supportive of Li Zicheng, as well as his Western Qin army, in order to protect the fruits of their victory, they will take up arms, and they will not hesitate to die to keep the fruits of their victory!"

Cheng Shijie knew very well that if it weren't for Song Xiance's bent desire to accept the reorganization of the Ning Navy, with more than 200,000 troops and more than 300,000 militiamen of the Dashun Army at that time, some of these battles would have been fought, and every battle would have been fought like Nanjing.

Sun Zhili suddenly realized: "What does the king mean, wait for their internal division and contradictions to break out? ”

"It's obvious!"

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "Whether it was Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, who took the lead in setting off the Daze Township Uprising, or the Yellow Turban Uprising that put the Eastern Han Dynasty in the grave, including the Yellow Nest Uprising and the Red Turban Army Uprising, in the end, they did not enjoy the fruits of victory, do you know this reason?" ”

"It's because ...... Whether it is Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Zhang Jiao, Huang Chao, they are all too short-sighted, that is, they do not have the necessary military capabilities......"

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said, "How much military ability does Han Gaozu Liu Bang have?" ”

"That's ...... Because they don't have the ability to integrate, for example, the king has a strong ability to integrate and can effectively integrate various resources! ”

Cheng Shijie shook his head and said: "Because I didn't compromise, if I occupied Beijing, I would adopt the method of peace talks to solve the Nanjing and Xiqin issues, then now I will also fall into the pit!" ”

Cheng Shijie looked in the direction of Chang'an, and there were many reasons for the failure of the peasant uprising in history, including the quality of the leaders, military strength, social support, strategic mistakes, and internal contradictions.

To ensure the success of the peasant uprising, leaders need to have sufficient military, political, and strategic knowledge, effectively integrate resources, build broad social support, make sound strategic decisions, and avoid internal contradictions.

Li Zicheng did not do this in history, so he quickly ascended to the throne and was quickly killed by the landlords, which shows the problem, a sober Li Zicheng is actually very difficult to deal with, and it is not easy to deal with, this is an expert in guerrilla warfare.

Cheng Shijie handed over state affairs to the cabinet, which made Sun Zhili feel excited and pressured, Cheng Shijie is now like the imperial historian during the Chongzhen Dynasty, because he doesn't do things, so he won't be wrong, once something goes wrong, it's all the problem of Prime Minister Sun Zhixi.

He has to take responsibility, whether it is land reform, or migration, including the recovery of taxes, the prime minister's decree signed by Sun Zhili has forced countless gentry families to ruin, these gentry have the pen in their hands, and in the future he will be condemned to shame and will remain in history as a cool official.

Now the cabinet needs to do a lot of things, the first is to improve and repair the Ming law, Cheng Shijie canceled a lot of legal provisions, such as the marriage law, in the marriage law of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated, "All men and women marry, each has its own time, or there are fingers and abdomen cut for relatives, parallel prohibition, where men are 16 years old, women are 14 years old or more, and listen to marriage." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that a man and a woman must be of legal age to marry, and that no one who is under the age can enter into marriage, and that the parents of both men and women are prohibited from having a child in private at an early age. Cheng Shijie supports the prohibition of dating babies, but the age of marriage has been postponed to the age of 20 for men and women, and for women to be at least 18 years old before they can get married, and for concubines to wait until the woman is 18 years old, otherwise the acceptance of young girls as concubines will be severely punished.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty prohibits flash marriage, if you don't get engaged first, you will get married immediately, which is to be punished by the Ming Law, Cheng Shijie has not modified these places, of course, the Ming Marriage Law has more conservative women, in addition to the seven must be reconciled, there are three not to go.

If you marry and have no place to return (you have no home to return to), you will not go; and more three years of mourning (who has been filial piety for in-laws for three years), do not go; The former is greedy and the latter is rich, and he does not go. It is not allowed to abandon the wife of the chaff in the Ming Dynasty, and it is severely punished. At the same time, those who spoil concubines and kill wives must also be severely punished, and the ancient saying of women is that it will not work at all in the Ming Dynasty, and they want to be promoted to wives with concubines, unless the husband is willing to give up his official position, title and status, and then he will be in prison for another year, and he will be transferred for 3,000 miles.

When Cheng Shijie left Beijing, he strictly ordered Zhang Yu, the governor of Anxi, that there was no civil strife in Western Qin and that he was not allowed to march westward, but he could occupy the Hetao first.

Cheng Shijie was about to leave Beijing on the front foot, and Yang Yunniang, as the second assistant of the cabinet and the minister of finance, then caught up with Cheng Shijie.

Yang Yunniang didn't understand very much: "Your Majesty, I really can't figure it out, how many people have tried their whole lives to sit on your lean, one person is above ten thousand people, you are good, you stay in the center for a long time is like going to prison!" ”

Cheng Shijie cried and laughed: "It's not so miserable to go to prison, right?" Even if you go to jail and go to the toilet, you don't look at it, right? It's a painful thing to deal with the same things every day and see the same group of people! What's more, you don't know that those women in the Forbidden City are about to eat me! ”

Yang Yunniang smiled bitterly: "Then you are free now, what do you want to do?" ”

"Of course, I took my daughter to visit the mountains and rivers and enjoy life!"

Yang Yunniang looked at Cheng Shijie with some resentment: "Your Majesty, your body ......"

"I'm really not sick, don't you know?"

"I don't know!"

At this moment, Catherine's voice was heard in the distance: "Your Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty the Emperor......"

Catherine was originally blocked from the periphery, but when she shouted like this, the surrounding guards deliberately did not let her approach, because Catherine shouted out everyone's hearts,

No matter what the officials in various places think, all the Ming soldiers and ordinary people hope that Cheng Shijie can become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, because only when Cheng Shijie becomes the emperor can they enjoy the benefits and treatment in front of them and avoid the death of the government.

Cheng Shijie heard Catherine's voice and hurriedly ordered: "Hurry up, go quickly, speed up!" ”

Just when Cheng Shijie's four-wheeled carriage was galloping towards Tianjin, Yang Yunniang was puzzled: "Your Majesty, why are you afraid of that mother-in-law?" ”

"She must be pestered to buy cannons, that is a weapon of the country, how can it be sold?"

Cheng Shijie smiled bitterly: "Catherine is too good at pestering people, she can't parry!" (End of chapter)
