Chapter Fifty-Seven: Revisiting the Old Place

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the court's attitude towards the uncles has been much better recently.

Shao Xun reported in his own name or others that the establishment of districts, the change of the title of the king, and the appointment of officials were all approved and approved.

First of all, the matter of Ren Chengwang changing the title of King Puyang and dismissing Chengguo and Gaoping Guo was approved as soon as possible.

The resettlement of 5,700 government soldiers has also been carried out smoothly, and some of them have even begun spring ploughing.

As a result, Gaopingguo will become the second largest county in Yanzhou, second only to Taishan.

After Yu Yu took office as Taishou, his first task was to put the county government into operation, which was already a little paralyzed, and then control it in depth.

"The virtuous son-in-law is worried about the court, and the court is also worried about you." Outside Xuchang City, Yu Chen, who was about to go to Liang State to take office, said: "Liang Fendu is the governor of Beishu County, and Luonan County is separated from the imperial court. ”

"Haha!" Shao Xun couldn't help but laugh.

It is also interesting for the old man to speak.

Jingzhou as a whole is still the territory of the imperial court, and the purity is relatively high.

After Wang Ru's death, Liang Fen incorporated the vast number of Guanxi refugees between Wancheng and Xiangyang, and became a force.

Shan Jian (the military governor of Jing, Ning, and Yi Prefectures) and Wang Cheng also returned to Xiangyang from Xiakou to clean up the mess.

If the imperial court wanted to run the south, it was impossible to make the relationship with Shao Xun too stiff.

Especially in the first month, this high-profile wedding is known far and near, which will make even the Huns know that Shao Xun and the Yingchuan clan have merged. And the Yingchuan scholars have always said together with the Runan scholars that in the western half of Yuzhou, the imperial court really does not have much influence.

"On the other hand, the imperial court may also want to fight a dozen Hongnong and push Wang Mi to the west. Xin'an is close to Luoyang, which is really dangerous. Yu Chen said again.

"Does the court have any food?" Shao Xun said: "Although the forbidden army has been reorganized many times, it is only more than 20,000 people, how can it be fought? ”

"The old man doesn't know." Yu Chen sighed.

The manpower that the Luoyang court can directly use is getting less and less, basically in the three counties of Henan, Xingyang and Shangluo.

They are now all selected from the displaced people from all over Henan to join the forbidden army.

If this selection criterion had been placed ten years ago, it would have been shocking for a long time.

But Shao Xun is too lazy to care, just toss the court if it likes, just don't be destroyed. He still needs to join everyone now, pretending to unite under the banner of the Great Jin.

"Is there any grain coming to Beijing this year?" Shao Xun asked.

"There should be." Yu Chen said: "I heard that it is said that the imperial court acquiesced to King Langya's interference in Jiangzhou political affairs in exchange for money and grain to enter Beijing. ”

Money and food are really the top priority.

Although the population of Luoyang is decreasing year by year, and the consumption of food is not as great as before, the destruction of the Xiongnu is also becoming more and more intense, and the self-sustaining ability of the surrounding areas of Luoyang is declining day by day.

Without external money and grain input, Luoyang couldn't hold out for even half a year.

Just a few years ago, Wang Xuan even asked him privately how much grain he had withheld in recent years.

Shao Xun told him the truth, about 600,000 Hu. In addition, he borrowed about 400,000 Hu, a total of 1 million "pitted" the imperial court.

Wang Xuan asked if he could pay back a little first, but Shao Xun refused, because he was also short of food.

After all, last year's war was fought in Henan, and even if it was won militarily, it would be a panic economically and politically.

His silver spear and the second army of Yicong relied on more than 30 counties in Luonan, Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, and Runan, providing more than 100,000 grains and 30,000 or 40,000 horses of silk every year to maintain, and he also had to graze livestock, raise fish and vegetables, and pick fruits to solve part of the shortage-as for the consumption of equipment, half of it was produced by himself, and half of it was relied on him to make nonsense from the imperial court.

Yuzhou's finances are also very difficult and tight, and there is really no spare energy. In the end, he could only promise Wang Xuan that if Chenjun, Nanton, and Xincai could be harvested smoothly this year, he would return two or three hundred thousand grains after the autumn harvest.

And speaking of Sima Rui, the king of Langya, if he has no ambition, Shao Xun dares to write his name upside down.

As one of Sima Yue's remnants, Sima Rui's shogunate relied on the Nandu Shi people politically, and the Jiangdong Hao clan economically and militarily.

Although he himself is trying to establish a military system independent of the Jiangdong Hao clan, it seems that it is far from enough.

Fighting Shouchun and entering Pengcheng relied on the old clan and the upstart of Eastern Wu.

This separatist force is really strange. Shao Xun felt that if Sima Rui and the Nandu people didn't insist on it, would those Jiangdong wealthy families be interested in expanding?

A convoy drove out of Xuchang City, full of all kinds of things.

Yu Chen looked at it, it was all the daily necessities and farm tools he bought in Xuchang City, so he said: "The virtuous son-in-law doesn't need to be sent far away, so he will go here." ”

After saying that, he looked to the other side.

The mother and daughter of Biqiu and Yu Wenjun were also saying goodbye, crying and crying.

This time, he took office in Liang's domestic history, which was regarded as the hinterland of Yuzhou, and there was no danger, so he brought his family with him.

After saying goodbye, the two groups of people went on the road separately: Shao Xun went west to Yangzhai via Yingyin, and Yu Chen went east to Liang through Chenjun.

******

The number of Tunding in Guangcheng Zetunding has risen and fallen, and has recently remained at six battalions and about 30,000 people (including one cantonment camp in Yangcheng County).

Of these 30,000 people, except for a few thousand unlucky ghosts, most of them have been replaced.

The good performance changed from a slave tunding to a tuntian army or a free common man in the household registration.

Those who don't perform well can only continue to work here, waiting for the next good chance to hit the big luck - such as moving out to serve as a part of the government soldiers.

Shirtland, Lutian, Juntian, Caiguanzhuang......

Stretching from Guangchengze to Liangxian and even south to the territory of Luyang, thousands of hectares of fertile land were cultivated day after day by these captives, producing grain, pasture and raising a large number of livestock.

It can be said that it is the existence of these fields and captives that Shao Xun has the confidence to bargain in front of the Yingchuan clan - even if you don't support me, I can rely on this piece of savings to support the shogunate and the army for a year and a half in the short term, and then smash you to pieces.

At the end of the first month, Shao Xun had come to the South Park of Caiguanzhuang in Guangchengze.

The 11th to 20th buildings of the Silver Spear Army, which had escorted him, and 6,000 soldiers began training on the spot.

There are now twenty Silverspear Armies, with a total of 12,000 men.

According to Shao Xun's latest plan, one to ten buildings were organized into the left battalion, led by Wang Qi'er, Hou Feihu, Sun He and deputies; The eleventh to twenty buildings were organized as the right battalion, led by Jin Zhengtong, and Zhang Daniu and Xu Yu were deputies.

Lu Heigou fought too bravely in the Battle of Dongwuyang, was wounded by a stray arrow in the night, and after lying in bed for several months, he picked up a life and came back, but he fell ill and was no longer suitable for high-intensity warfare. Because he had been named in Taixue, he was transferred to Nanyang Ye County, and was called "Lu Rong" on the roster.

Of the 6,000 people in the right battalion, only the 11th and 12th buildings participated in the battle of advancing to Luoyang last year, and the rest had no combat experience.

In the end, the four people couldn't even get together the iron armor, and except for the officers above the rank of captain, the others were only given leather armor.

This can only be raised slowly, and training is important at this stage.

"The north and south gardens of Caiguanzhuang are all family industries." Shao Xun pointed to the lake that was half-frozen and half-melted in the sun, and said, "The North Garden is cultivated by five thousand tunding, and the Jing brothers are managed by the tribe of Zhuangke. There are nearly 3,800 households in the South Park, all of whom were old people who were withdrawn from the Third Garden of Luoyang a few years ago. ”

Yu Wenjun held his hand, and the little bird looked at the frozen lake and the vast farmland with curious eyes.

She has entered the role of wife. The North and South Gardens of Caiguanzhuang and the Green Willow Garden are all private properties of the Shaw Brothers, and they need to be taken care of by her, the main mother.

As her dowry, there are still a lot of land and tribes in Yanling, Nanton and other places, which also need to be taken care of by her assigned people.

A sixteen-year-old girl took over the burden of the family in this way.

Shao Xun tightened the fur on her body for her and touched her head lovingly.

Yu Wenjun grinned and raised his face.

Shao Xun kissed her, and then walked forward with her in his arms.

He felt a little bad, because the better and more attached Yu Wenjun was to him, the more unbearable and guilty he became.

This little girl is too clingy, and she is very persistent and serious.

Before going to bed at night, always ask if you were feeling well. Shao Xun could see that she was not particularly comfortable, but she always wanted to serve her husband comfortably.

"What is that over there?" Yu Wenjun pointed with a small hand, looked at the land surrounded by lakes and rivers like small islands, and asked curiously.

Shao Xun remained silent and said: "That is the field of Guangcheng Palace, called 'Battlement Field', there were more than 300 hectares before, and I don't know how many now." See the houses over there? Most of the people who cultivate the fields come from Henan and Hanoi counties, and rice has been cultivated here until three years before Yongjia. Winter wheat was planted last autumn, and after the May harvest, rice planting should continue. ”

So Luonan's piece is an important foundation for him.

When Puyang, Dongping, Jibei, Xingyang and other places could not carry out agricultural production normally, and Chenliu, Gaoping, Jiyin, Taishan and even Chenjun, Liangguo and other places could only plant in spring and harvest in autumn, the Luonan region, including Guangchengze, began to grow three crops in two years.

From the beginning of last year to the end of this year, people can harvest three crops of grain per acre of land, while Chen County, Liangguo, Chen Liu, and other places have only two crops, and half of the stubble in those counties and counties on the front line is enough to choke, and the difference is too great.

What's more, the yield per mu of rice and wheat rotation in Guangchengze is much higher than that of two crops of millet, which is a very stable and high-yield large rear.

"Is the rice harvested in the fields Guangcheng?" Yu Wenjun asked.

"You know that, too?"

"Of course." Yu Wenjun chuckled and said, "Guangchengdao is also very famous in Yingchuan. Husband, among the rewards you gave during the New Year, there was Guangcheng rice. My eldest brother once brought a batch home, and our whole family tasted it. ”

"Oh, that's right." Shao Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Guangcheng rice is indeed good. ”

"That mountain is Kongtong Mountain, right?"

"Yes."

"I heard that there is Guangcheng soup in the north of Kongtong Mountain. Husband, can you take me to have fun? ”

"Don't make a fuss, it's a business for your husband to come here." Shao Xun's heart suddenly burst and said: "Xitian and Lutian only planted one season of spring wheat last year, and this year they planted millet in spring, and there are only a few days left, so I have to go to the field for my husband." ”

"Oh." Yu Wenjun knew that he was willful, so he said: "Then I will send water and food to my husband." ”

"Hmm." Shao Xun replied absentmindedly.
