Chapter 830 May become the biggest winner of the Yellow Turban
Chapter 830 May become the biggest winner of the Yellow Turban
After traveling thousands of miles to win the battle of Liaodong, the Daliaohe River was completely thawed by the time the war profits were counted and the harvest was counted.
In this battle, the five cities of Wufil, Fangxian, Pingguo, Xiangping, and Liucheng, and Gongsundu and other rich and powerful people in Liaodong killed most of them. Among them, all captains of the Han army in Liaodong and officers with more than 50 captains were executed.In this battle, the middle and high-level leaders of the hostile forces in Liaodong suffered great trauma.
From then on, the Wuhuan people and Han people in Liaodong will be in a mess for a long time, and it will be difficult to make a climate.If you want to organize such a large-scale force, it will be impossible in this life.
According to post-war statistics, 6 Han people and [-] Wuhuan people were added during this war, for a total population of [-].In addition, more than [-] war horses were suppressed, and food, grass, supplies, and treasures were useless.
Although the Ukrainian and Han coalition forces who came to attack this time were very poor, those Shan Yu, officials, and wealthy households were all quite wealthy.Although Wang Yan blocked the Liaoxi Corridor and cut off the trade inside and outside the customs, they still received what they should have received, but because of Wang Yan, they lowered the price even more.They were all waiting to kill Wang Yan, open up business again, and earn more.
They not only collected things from Liaodong, but also went north to collect products from Wuhuan, Goguryeo, Fuyu, etc. outside the region. Outside the region were the Daxing'an Mountains and Changbai Mountains. These two mountain ranges encircled the largest and most fertile Songnen Plain in the Northeast Plain.Although the barbarians outside the territory are not good at farming, they don't have that many people. They can live by relying on mountains and eating mountains. There are piles of mountain products, animal skins, animal bones, and herbs.
They need salt, they need ironware, they need a certain amount of grain, they need cloth, and so on.Those who are able to trade with them are the wealthy households in Liaodong.Even Wuhuan Shanyu, such as Qiu Liju, counted on the business of the rich households of the clan.
Now these things are in the hands of General Wang, except for keeping them for his own use, they are basically disposed of to those wealthy families in exchange for food, cloth, salt and other materials.
He has already started to build a salt farm, the most basic living material, which must be guaranteed.The areas around Pingguo (Yingkou) and Wenxian (Gaizhou) are good locations for saltworks.Starting from this year, it will no longer be necessary for the rich to cut leeks with salt and iron.
With the expansion of the territory and the increase of the population, the corresponding military deployment must also keep up.
The Mighty Guard with the strongest combat effectiveness moved to Xiangping.When General Wang moved thousands of miles away, there was indeed an enemy from the east who came to steal Pingguo, and was beaten to death by the three thousand mighty guards left behind.After replenishing the soldiers damaged in battle, they should be at the forefront to prevent Xuantu from invading.
Wufilter City was guarded by Xingwuwei. In the previous battle of Liaodong, Xingwuwei defended the base camp of Tuhe. They fought steadily and did not let the enemy come out of the mountain road.It is stationed in Wufilter, and guards the Liaohe Plain in coordination with Xiangping's guard horns.
Guangwuwei was stationed at Fuxin. Previously, Guangwuwei attacked Fuxin. After General Wang defeated Qiu Liju, he rushed to the past to fight.Its troops were replenished and stationed in Fuxin. First, they could take advantage of the favorable location to prevent bandits from entering the Wufiler Valley, drive straight into Pochangli, and take the Tuhe River. They could also rely on the terrain as a place to go.It can also be used to support Wulu and Xiangping, but if there are enemies coming, we can attack them together, and we can also drive away and steal the house.
In the battle of Wu Filter City, Yingwuwei, who suffered heavy losses, was transformed from a militia into an official army, stationed in Pingguo, and their task was to prevent the enemy from coming from the east. In addition, producing salt was also their job.
Commander Liao Hua's Xiaoqi Battalion recruited another 500 men from each of the guards, increasing the size to 2000 soldiers and horses.Except for the horses captured by the guards and cavalry, the rest were basically given to Liao Hua.They were stationed in Tai'an, which was Anshan Tai'an after [-], and it was named after the general.
They garrisoned Tai'an, relying on the mobility of the cavalry to support the first three places, and also to prevent the Liaohe Plain from opening up and the enemy going straight into the hinterland of Fangxian County.What I do on weekdays is training, raising horses, and farming.
All of the above are formally organized troops, totaling more than [-].In addition, there are three militia units.The Xiongwuwei, who had previously been transferred to defend Changli, took advantage of the situation to hoard troops in Changli.The base camp of Tuhe formed a new Zhenwu Guard, and Suizhong on the southern front line formed a new Xuanwu Guard.
As for Liucheng, General Wang's real hometown, he didn't send anyone to occupy it.Because the geography of his hometown is not very good, surrounded by mountains, the harvest is relatively not very good.There is a wider area in the north, and there is no need to hoard troops in the ravines.
It is not a problem at all to say that the enemy is coming from the direction of Liucheng again.After all, his ranger is a completely full-time professional soldier, and he cultivates this kind of soldier with the old and the new.They spread widely, learned the method of map surveying and making taught by Wang Yan, lived outside, drew maps, and checked the enemy's situation.As long as you know the enemy, you can win.The later you come, the easier it is to win.No matter how late it was, it wasn't them who came to attack, but Wang Yan sent troops over...
Now that we have won the battle of Liaodong and established ourselves in Liaodong, the Han army will definitely not come to attack.Moreover, his military deployment is more inclined to defend the north than the south.You know, as long as Suizhong Xuanwuwei is destroyed, the Tuhe base camp will come again.As for the transfer of troops from other places to Suizhong, it would take three days at the fastest, and ten days at the farthest.
This is Wang Yan's statement, so let everyone rest assured.
However, there must be no soldiers and horses in Suizhong.Not for going south, but also for keeping the business path.Now that General Wang is in the Liaoxi Corridor, how could it be possible for merchants from the north and the south to come back and forth from his territory.
As we all know, commerce drives regional economic development.Today, the land that is the throat of the Northeast, must use his territory as a commercial transit, conduct large-scale trade here, collect large business taxes, develop the economy, and feed back the people's livelihood. In five or six years, it will definitely become prosperous.
In fact, his burden is very heavy now. There are more than 6 regular soldiers and militiamen. Counting the army's logistics, there are more than [-] people when they are not fighting, and hundreds of thousands when they are fighting.
He currently has a total population of less than 40. With this number, he basically leads everyone to the battlefield. One can imagine how heavy the burden is.
So although there is a distinction between soldiers and militias, they are not actually professional soldiers. To be honest, soldiers eat better than militias and have heavier training tasks, while militias eat better than ordinary farmers and have more tasks.
If it weren't for having a glass to cut leeks, and not for the many battles that have yielded a lot of harvest, it would basically be unstoppable.
Now that Liaodong has been settled, the Liaohe Plain is under control, and the water of the Daliaohe River has melted, it is natural to start a vigorous spring plowing plan.
Although the water of the river has melted and it is almost the vernal equinox, the land in the Northeast, which coincides with the Little Ice Age, is not so easy to melt.The proper spring plowing time in Northeast China is March in the lunar calendar and April in the Western calendar.It is only February now, with a difference of more than a month, and the land has not yet thawed, but it is impossible to wait until the thaw to act.
The Liaohe Plain has not been fully developed, and there is still a lot of wasteland, and the fields that were cultivated last year have to be turned over.Brick kilns still burn bricks, glass kilns cannot stop working, trees need to be cut down, houses need to be built, spring floods need to be prevented, water conservancy needs to be reorganized, spring catches must not be given up, and large-scale captive breeding of chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and cattle must also be planned. All these are all in the hands of the general.
Following the order of the general, the people who hid on the warm kang for a winter and consumed a large forest walked out of the house blowing the chilly spring breeze.
The vast majority of fertile women have raised their stomachs.Passing through the leveled streets, the long-lost laughter and laughter of children sounded.This winter, the general set a record that was impossible before Xinhai. No one died of freezing and starvation.Not many people died of illness. After all, those who can make it all the way are in good health and can survive.In addition, Wang Yan went out in person and took the doctors under his command to see a doctor, so the problem was not too big.
This time, in order to get out of the house to farm in advance, so as not to catch a cold, or to avoid a viral flu, Wang Yan had already prepared the medicine in advance.Those who are sick or not, drink it, and it will not be bad anyway.
The common people walked out of the house, followed the general's instructions, and with a hopeful smile, received the cattle, grain, and farm tools, and started the big construction again.
In this winter, through the joint efforts of blacksmiths, craftsmen and people hiding in the house for the winter, [-] sets of Wang Li and hundreds of parts of large waterwheels were built.
There are not many cattle, only about 100 head, which were looted all the way from Youzhou last year.She has been serving her for the whole winter like an ancestor, and has given birth to more than 100 calves so far.This is because the production cycle of cattle is relatively long, nearly one year.The more than [-] calves born were still conceived earlier.
At the time of delivery, General Wang was a veterinary teacher on purpose, and taught a few farmers who claimed to be proficient in cattle and raised cattle for the landlord.He hadn't even eaten a bite of beef this winter.
The scarcity of farm cattle has been accompanied by 2000 years.This situation must be resolved. It is imperative to enclose the pastures and raise them on a large scale. Otherwise, how to enrich the diet and how to eat meat.
More than 2000 cattle are definitely not enough to cultivate nearly [-] square kilometers of land. At this time, the role of the army is displayed.If there are not enough animals, people should be animals to pull the plow. If one person is not enough, two should be used, and if two people are not enough, three should be used. It is right to exercise the body.
Compared with the common people, the army farming is the main force. After they reclaim a large area of military farmland, they have to farm for the common people. The front is for the public and the back is for their own family.
As for the age of military service in the army, it has not been fully implemented.Because this is not just a simple matter of being a soldier, it is a systematic project.Including material level, medical foundation, educational foundation, etc., it is determined by a series of factors, not just a simple sentence.
Now that population fertility is mentioned, this is necessary.The extra three or four years, compared with ten births, only three or four can live to ten years old, this is a very important point.The service age, although 20 years old is not mentioned now, is also being tightened, and the guards will gradually weed out veterans who are over 32 years old and are not yet officers.
Basic education is a long process.For example, now, even if he has printed a book and brought Cai Yong over, how can there be so many teachers to teach?
As for the impact of papermaking and printing on the wealthy family, it can basically be ignored.Because the root of this lies in education, in the national system of selecting officials, no one teaches, and the books are distributed everywhere, and there are a few who can understand the characters. He has made some achievements in education.
The basis of education is material conditions. Only when the basic needs of life are met, can one have time to learn and progress, and then cultivate a lofty goal.
Similarly, material conditions also determine the basis of medical care. Seeing a doctor costs money, training doctors costs money, medicinal materials cost money, research costs money, and so on.Doctors also determine the survival of babies and patients, and guarantee the lives of the people. This is another basis for deciding military service.
The military service system, in turn, determines the decisive factor in protecting the means of production.Only by guaranteeing one's own production income and the lives of the people can one continuously improve the material base, and further promote the construction of education and medical systems.
The life expectancy of people in the Han Dynasty was generally around 40 to [-] years old. They died of hunger, severe cold, disease, and military disasters.But all the above things are developing for the better, and the life expectancy will increase naturally.
At least for the time being under the rule of General Wang, it can be said with certainty that the common people will only die from serious illnesses and accidents at work.
The vigorous production and construction started, and Wang Yan was too busy.
All day long, with a group of more than ten personal guards, he wandered around on horseback.Check out the brick kiln today, look at the glass kiln mouth, see the progress of the soil digging tomorrow, discuss the armor with the blacksmith the day after tomorrow, see the iron ore and iron smelting situation, and study with the carpenter what else needs to be done, To see patients, pay attention to the breeding of various animals, and go out every day to see a few diseases for others.
From time to time, I have to go to other places to inspect, to see if the civilian officials are dedicated to their work, and if someone is crazy about money, they have to pay attention to the farming situation of the army, and pay attention to the physical and mental health of the soldiers. Sima studied the Humu system, and those who were not married studied marriage matters, and the saltworks had to pay attention to it, which also made a lot of money.
Regularly, take stock of your assets and see how long you can last.We have to study how to collect business taxes, and we have to find people to spread the idea of peace in the north. We need to let people know that they are open for business now, so you can come and have a look. Whether you are rich or poor, you can Come and sell something.
It's not easy to operate in the pass, because the business is controlled by the wealthy family, and the distance is farther away. Wang Yan can't do business directly with individuals, but in the north, there is no problem.They come to trade by themselves, and no one can stop them.
In this process, they will envy the lives of the people under the rule of the general, and they will be infiltrated little by little, and the general will take advantage of material and cultural advancements to take them down little by little.
As the key to economic trade, coins are necessary.By the autumn harvest this year, Wang Yan will use coins to buy the surplus food of the people under his rule, and in the coming year, the economic activities under his rule will be initially active, and that is the beginning of prosperity.
In Tuhe City, a lot of book gardens have been expanded, and Wang Yan no longer sits in front of the French windows. It's very simple, because of the heat, he moved all the desks and the like inside a lot.
Not only that, the previous mats and short tables are all gone, and a set of solid wood tables and chairs made of elm is replaced, and kneeling is finally changed.
At this moment, the general, who was wearing a plain white Sichuan brocade shirt, was looking at Zhen Cheng who was standing there trembling and flipping through books with a smile.
After a while, Zhen Cheng carefully placed the book on General Wang's desk: "General, this book is really a gift from heaven!"
This is somewhat exaggerated, but Zhen Cheng's flattery is in place. Wang Yan waved his hand lightly, and sat lazily on the chair covered with tiger skin: "Meng Guang's words are exaggerated. This is the ingenuity of Marquis Cai. What do the creations of my people have to do with the sky? What do you think of this book?"
"It's really good. The writing is smooth, the printing is square, the ink is clear, and it's more like a book. With this book, culture and education will flourish." Zhen Sheng changed the subject and said, "General Qian Fan ordered Cai Yong to come here. I went to see Cai Yong in the land of Wu, and spoke out about the general's ambitions, but he was unmoved. According to the general's instructions, I asked again and again. Today, the general has good luck and magic, so there is no need to threaten Cai Yong, but with this book, I will teach you three times. He flies to cast."
This is a good employee, let's not talk about buying books to make money, let's connect this book with the boss's account first.Although Wang Yan didn't have much contact with the representatives of other powerful clans, he can directly judge that those people are not as good as Zhen Sheng when they are tied together.
One of the simplest reasons is that the Zhen family is in decline, when its survival is in danger, and it is necessary to give up the face of the wealthy family, otherwise it would not be possible to promise the daughter of the chief clan, who is 13 years apart, to General Wang Son.And the other wealthy families are all behemoths.If you can let go of your face, you will naturally gain more and make greater progress.
This is a condition that representatives of other wealthy families do not have. Although Wang Yan has now been granted the title of Marquis of Liao and General of Tianwu, he is officially worshiped as the prefect of Liaodong, and he actually controls most of Liaoxi County. land.There are 40 people, and the vassals who ruled the land of Liaodong who can pull out [-] soldiers with all their strength, are not in the eyes of the Central Plains family.
Yes, the Han family has come to Liaodong to proclaim the decree and give it to Yinshou. '...
If Zhen Sheng had been the family of the Zhen family, the Zhen family might have been better than it is now, but it's a pity that he is an outsider, and he can't be the family or the master.
Wang Yan then asked, "Cai Yong's daughter, can you find out?"
"He had five daughters, the eldest daughter died young, the second daughter and the third daughter were married, the fourth daughter was named Yan, and was ten years old, Xu Dongwei's family, the fifth daughter was named Li, who was eight years old, Cai Yong's wife died early, and now The Yang clan sent her daughters to accompany her attendants. He did not care about worldly affairs in Wu, but devoted himself to learning, teaching, and seeking scholars. He was very fond of books and had a huge collection of books."
"Very well, Cai Yong is coming, Yan and Li are coming, and his huge collection of books is also coming. It may be difficult for a thousand soldiers to take care of it, and then two thousand soldiers of yours will go to Wu with the team. Food and grass, you will subsidize it, and it will be deducted from the transaction."
"Sheng, I will live up to the general's expectations." Zhen Sheng avoided the table and bowed.
"In the past, I taught you to bring all the books in the Zhen family's collection. You should do this quickly. It is not my study of your family, but I want to print all the books in the Zhen family's collection into this book. Compared with bamboo slips, this book exists in the world. Longer. Compared with silk books, this book contains more information, and it is easier to read when you hold it."
Wang Yan said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I will print two copies of the book with the Zhen family, and one copy will be for my collection. I do have the intention of selling books, but I will definitely not sell the books in your family's collection. Last year, I will arrange it myself. When we raised troops, we gained a lot along the way. The Gongsun family in Xiangping was destroyed and many were destroyed. This bookstore is my collection of books, and it is also for sale. This matter is all related to the Ru Zhen family. What I want is food and grass. , Hao family collection of books.
When I have a large collection of books, I should set up a single pavilion, my name is "Zangshu Pavilion". Cai Yong came here, he should be the head of this pavilion, manage the books, and do the old things of Lao Tzu, or he can also get the way. "
"General, don't worry, all books collected by the Zhen family can be sold. My Zhen family sells books, and other wealthy families will also sell books. It is a good thing for us to exchange family collections. My Zhen family should set an example."
The thing is such a thing, Mrs. Zhen prints the book on paper, and imposes some conditions when selling the book, not only to spend money, but also to get the book, is it all up to Mrs. Zhen?In this way, it is indeed a good thing that the general builds a book collection pavilion in Liaodong, and they can also work together to build a family library library in Wuji's hometown.
Besides, Wang Yan didn't know how many books they had in their family. It was no big deal if they didn't take out some treasured books.
Wang Yan nodded affirmatively, and then asked: "Since you have contacted Shi Changshi, you can communicate with Qian, the secretary's collection of books should be huge, and the books can be transported to Liaodong in batches, and after the reprinting is completed, You can return the book."
"This matter is easy to hear, the general will sit down in Liaodong, and there will be a book in two months."
Books are precious, and knowledge is precious because of scarcity.Even more precious is teaching.This is exactly what the rich family studies teach.They are all the six arts of a gentleman, but obviously, even if you are literate, you can't understand them just by reading a book.Besides, the art of war, which is now a compulsory course, needs to be guided by famous teachers.
Liu Bei's royal privileges and blessings have been cut off, his family has been reduced to farmers, and he himself makes a living by weaving mats and selling money.How can you be sworn brothers with Guan Zhang and lead five hundred soldiers and horses to fight?
Don't underestimate 500 people, and don't underestimate marching and fighting. It's not just talking about it, but Liu Bei did it.Before meeting Zhuge Liang, although Liu Bei had been wandering, many battles and many operations were all done by himself.All this is because he has a good teacher. Lu Zhi is a serious boss. This is his ability in the study of Confucian classics and the art of war apart from his official status.
Gongsun Zan was able to take the land of Youzhou and become a vassal, naturally because of his teacher Lu Zhi, and the skills he learned from other people later.If not, he was born in the Zhigongsun family, and he would not be ranked high today. He is still a concubine, and it is almost impossible to reach that height.
Those who are really talented can summarize and learn by themselves. In fact, the books and knowledge handed down are also derived from this way.
But being able to continuously summarize, learn, and improve is a rare ability. Everyone knows that this is good, but there are only a few people who can really do it.Otherwise, the wheel of history rolls forward, and it doesn't have to always repeat itself.
"I'm naturally relieved. I've met Meng Guang so far, and I've lived up to my expectations. Meng Guang is a great talent."
"The general praises me very much, but Cheng dare not take it." Zhen Cheng arched his hands, unable to hide the smile on his face, he turned to say, "Last year the general taught me to send a caravan to the Western Regions to find cotton. The picture is generally the same, I really don't know if it is what the general is looking for."
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Where are the seeds?"
"Although I carry some with me, I will teach the general to identify them. I got a total of stone cotton seeds during this trip, all of which are in the warehouse outside the city. Let's take a look at it, general." As he spoke, Zhen Cheng took out a kit from his bosom, opened it and handed it to Wang. Word.
After receiving the kit, he grabbed a handful of cotton from it, picked out the cotton seeds, nodded and smiled and said, "That's right, it's cotton seeds. Meng Guang has made great contributions."
"It's the right thing to do for the general, and I dare not talk about credit. Cheng really doesn't know what this cotton seed is used for, so I ask the general to clarify."
"This is like silk or hemp, which can be spun into cotton cloth. This is the fruit. After some beating, it can make it fluffy. It can be used as stuffing for clothes, and it can prevent severe cold. I have this cotton in Liaodong. It is really a blessing for Liaodong that there is no need to hide in the house in winter."
"Congratulations to the general for getting this good seed. In time, the bitter cold in Liaodong will be no worries. Congratulations, congratulations..."
Wang Yan laughed loudly: "Meng Guang's words are precise, it will take time, and it will take five years."
"General, I don't know how to get this kind of seed?"
"It needs to be in a place where the sun is shining for a long time, and the land needs a water source and sufficient soil strength."
"Mo Liaodong's land can't be planted?"
"The land of Pingguo is acceptable, but its production is much more difficult."
"How can it be planted?"
"It's Gumo (Aksu) of the Western Regions. If you have contact with the Protectorate of the Western Regions, you can send barbarians to farm, and I will trade salt and iron."
"When Sheng returns to Wuji, he will send someone to contact him by letter. If it doesn't work, what should we do?"
"It won't work."
General Wang waved his hand, it would be best if he agreed, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree.There is a kind of Pingguo, although the output is less, it is better than none, and a little bit always develops for the better.As long as there are seeds and the location is known, the future will be long.
In fact, the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins are also cotton-producing areas, but there is still not enough food to grow all over the ground.Cotton is a cash crop, but food is a basic living material. He cannot harm people.
Zhen Sheng nodded and didn't say any more.As for the general, Guishou, how did he know the unheard of cotton, he would not ask, let alone think too much about it.
At this moment, the personal guard came in with a report: "General, there is a letter from Suizhong Youqi, tens of thousands of yellow scarves are going north."
"Oh?"
"General, I know this matter, and I am about to report it to the general. All I saw along the way northward were the refugees of the Yellow Turbans. Not only tens of thousands, but tens of thousands, dragging families and mouths, stretching for hundreds of miles.
I sent soldiers from my family to find out that all the Yellow Turbans of Qing, Ji and You were defeated. I heard that the general defeated Wuhuan in the land of Liaodong, and was granted the title of Marquis of Liao and General Tianwu, and the official worship of the prefect of Liaodong.The states and counties along the way also knew the reason, but they didn't stop each other. Let the yellow scarves pass through the border and sweep the people to the north, which is really exhausting my plan. "
Zhen Sheng cupped his hands and talked about what he knew.
"Don't worry about Meng Guang. In the land of Liaodong, the good fields and fertile soil are uncultivated. I am not afraid of people coming to exhaust each other, but I am afraid that there will not be enough people coming." Wang Yan laughed and said, "Pass my military order, Xiong Wuwei divides three thousand troops to guard the Tuhe River. , Zhenwuwei immediately reorganized the army, fully armed, and hurried to Suizhong. You are also fully armed, take my equipment, and set off immediately."
"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.
Wang Yan said with a smile: "Do you want Meng Guang to go with you?"
"Sheng went south to work with the general, so he followed the general to see him."
"Put these five books away, pack your bags, and leave in half an hour..."
Daily thanks to the good brothers who voted for monthly votes for their support,
Thank you for the support of the brothers who voted and recommended,
Thanks for the support of the big brothers who read silently.
(End of this chapter)
After traveling thousands of miles to win the battle of Liaodong, the Daliaohe River was completely thawed by the time the war profits were counted and the harvest was counted.
In this battle, the five cities of Wufil, Fangxian, Pingguo, Xiangping, and Liucheng, and Gongsundu and other rich and powerful people in Liaodong killed most of them. Among them, all captains of the Han army in Liaodong and officers with more than 50 captains were executed.In this battle, the middle and high-level leaders of the hostile forces in Liaodong suffered great trauma.
From then on, the Wuhuan people and Han people in Liaodong will be in a mess for a long time, and it will be difficult to make a climate.If you want to organize such a large-scale force, it will be impossible in this life.
According to post-war statistics, 6 Han people and [-] Wuhuan people were added during this war, for a total population of [-].In addition, more than [-] war horses were suppressed, and food, grass, supplies, and treasures were useless.
Although the Ukrainian and Han coalition forces who came to attack this time were very poor, those Shan Yu, officials, and wealthy households were all quite wealthy.Although Wang Yan blocked the Liaoxi Corridor and cut off the trade inside and outside the customs, they still received what they should have received, but because of Wang Yan, they lowered the price even more.They were all waiting to kill Wang Yan, open up business again, and earn more.
They not only collected things from Liaodong, but also went north to collect products from Wuhuan, Goguryeo, Fuyu, etc. outside the region. Outside the region were the Daxing'an Mountains and Changbai Mountains. These two mountain ranges encircled the largest and most fertile Songnen Plain in the Northeast Plain.Although the barbarians outside the territory are not good at farming, they don't have that many people. They can live by relying on mountains and eating mountains. There are piles of mountain products, animal skins, animal bones, and herbs.
They need salt, they need ironware, they need a certain amount of grain, they need cloth, and so on.Those who are able to trade with them are the wealthy households in Liaodong.Even Wuhuan Shanyu, such as Qiu Liju, counted on the business of the rich households of the clan.
Now these things are in the hands of General Wang, except for keeping them for his own use, they are basically disposed of to those wealthy families in exchange for food, cloth, salt and other materials.
He has already started to build a salt farm, the most basic living material, which must be guaranteed.The areas around Pingguo (Yingkou) and Wenxian (Gaizhou) are good locations for saltworks.Starting from this year, it will no longer be necessary for the rich to cut leeks with salt and iron.
With the expansion of the territory and the increase of the population, the corresponding military deployment must also keep up.
The Mighty Guard with the strongest combat effectiveness moved to Xiangping.When General Wang moved thousands of miles away, there was indeed an enemy from the east who came to steal Pingguo, and was beaten to death by the three thousand mighty guards left behind.After replenishing the soldiers damaged in battle, they should be at the forefront to prevent Xuantu from invading.
Wufilter City was guarded by Xingwuwei. In the previous battle of Liaodong, Xingwuwei defended the base camp of Tuhe. They fought steadily and did not let the enemy come out of the mountain road.It is stationed in Wufilter, and guards the Liaohe Plain in coordination with Xiangping's guard horns.
Guangwuwei was stationed at Fuxin. Previously, Guangwuwei attacked Fuxin. After General Wang defeated Qiu Liju, he rushed to the past to fight.Its troops were replenished and stationed in Fuxin. First, they could take advantage of the favorable location to prevent bandits from entering the Wufiler Valley, drive straight into Pochangli, and take the Tuhe River. They could also rely on the terrain as a place to go.It can also be used to support Wulu and Xiangping, but if there are enemies coming, we can attack them together, and we can also drive away and steal the house.
In the battle of Wu Filter City, Yingwuwei, who suffered heavy losses, was transformed from a militia into an official army, stationed in Pingguo, and their task was to prevent the enemy from coming from the east. In addition, producing salt was also their job.
Commander Liao Hua's Xiaoqi Battalion recruited another 500 men from each of the guards, increasing the size to 2000 soldiers and horses.Except for the horses captured by the guards and cavalry, the rest were basically given to Liao Hua.They were stationed in Tai'an, which was Anshan Tai'an after [-], and it was named after the general.
They garrisoned Tai'an, relying on the mobility of the cavalry to support the first three places, and also to prevent the Liaohe Plain from opening up and the enemy going straight into the hinterland of Fangxian County.What I do on weekdays is training, raising horses, and farming.
All of the above are formally organized troops, totaling more than [-].In addition, there are three militia units.The Xiongwuwei, who had previously been transferred to defend Changli, took advantage of the situation to hoard troops in Changli.The base camp of Tuhe formed a new Zhenwu Guard, and Suizhong on the southern front line formed a new Xuanwu Guard.
As for Liucheng, General Wang's real hometown, he didn't send anyone to occupy it.Because the geography of his hometown is not very good, surrounded by mountains, the harvest is relatively not very good.There is a wider area in the north, and there is no need to hoard troops in the ravines.
It is not a problem at all to say that the enemy is coming from the direction of Liucheng again.After all, his ranger is a completely full-time professional soldier, and he cultivates this kind of soldier with the old and the new.They spread widely, learned the method of map surveying and making taught by Wang Yan, lived outside, drew maps, and checked the enemy's situation.As long as you know the enemy, you can win.The later you come, the easier it is to win.No matter how late it was, it wasn't them who came to attack, but Wang Yan sent troops over...
Now that we have won the battle of Liaodong and established ourselves in Liaodong, the Han army will definitely not come to attack.Moreover, his military deployment is more inclined to defend the north than the south.You know, as long as Suizhong Xuanwuwei is destroyed, the Tuhe base camp will come again.As for the transfer of troops from other places to Suizhong, it would take three days at the fastest, and ten days at the farthest.
This is Wang Yan's statement, so let everyone rest assured.
However, there must be no soldiers and horses in Suizhong.Not for going south, but also for keeping the business path.Now that General Wang is in the Liaoxi Corridor, how could it be possible for merchants from the north and the south to come back and forth from his territory.
As we all know, commerce drives regional economic development.Today, the land that is the throat of the Northeast, must use his territory as a commercial transit, conduct large-scale trade here, collect large business taxes, develop the economy, and feed back the people's livelihood. In five or six years, it will definitely become prosperous.
In fact, his burden is very heavy now. There are more than 6 regular soldiers and militiamen. Counting the army's logistics, there are more than [-] people when they are not fighting, and hundreds of thousands when they are fighting.
He currently has a total population of less than 40. With this number, he basically leads everyone to the battlefield. One can imagine how heavy the burden is.
So although there is a distinction between soldiers and militias, they are not actually professional soldiers. To be honest, soldiers eat better than militias and have heavier training tasks, while militias eat better than ordinary farmers and have more tasks.
If it weren't for having a glass to cut leeks, and not for the many battles that have yielded a lot of harvest, it would basically be unstoppable.
Now that Liaodong has been settled, the Liaohe Plain is under control, and the water of the Daliaohe River has melted, it is natural to start a vigorous spring plowing plan.
Although the water of the river has melted and it is almost the vernal equinox, the land in the Northeast, which coincides with the Little Ice Age, is not so easy to melt.The proper spring plowing time in Northeast China is March in the lunar calendar and April in the Western calendar.It is only February now, with a difference of more than a month, and the land has not yet thawed, but it is impossible to wait until the thaw to act.
The Liaohe Plain has not been fully developed, and there is still a lot of wasteland, and the fields that were cultivated last year have to be turned over.Brick kilns still burn bricks, glass kilns cannot stop working, trees need to be cut down, houses need to be built, spring floods need to be prevented, water conservancy needs to be reorganized, spring catches must not be given up, and large-scale captive breeding of chickens, ducks, geese, sheep and cattle must also be planned. All these are all in the hands of the general.
Following the order of the general, the people who hid on the warm kang for a winter and consumed a large forest walked out of the house blowing the chilly spring breeze.
The vast majority of fertile women have raised their stomachs.Passing through the leveled streets, the long-lost laughter and laughter of children sounded.This winter, the general set a record that was impossible before Xinhai. No one died of freezing and starvation.Not many people died of illness. After all, those who can make it all the way are in good health and can survive.In addition, Wang Yan went out in person and took the doctors under his command to see a doctor, so the problem was not too big.
This time, in order to get out of the house to farm in advance, so as not to catch a cold, or to avoid a viral flu, Wang Yan had already prepared the medicine in advance.Those who are sick or not, drink it, and it will not be bad anyway.
The common people walked out of the house, followed the general's instructions, and with a hopeful smile, received the cattle, grain, and farm tools, and started the big construction again.
In this winter, through the joint efforts of blacksmiths, craftsmen and people hiding in the house for the winter, [-] sets of Wang Li and hundreds of parts of large waterwheels were built.
There are not many cattle, only about 100 head, which were looted all the way from Youzhou last year.She has been serving her for the whole winter like an ancestor, and has given birth to more than 100 calves so far.This is because the production cycle of cattle is relatively long, nearly one year.The more than [-] calves born were still conceived earlier.
At the time of delivery, General Wang was a veterinary teacher on purpose, and taught a few farmers who claimed to be proficient in cattle and raised cattle for the landlord.He hadn't even eaten a bite of beef this winter.
The scarcity of farm cattle has been accompanied by 2000 years.This situation must be resolved. It is imperative to enclose the pastures and raise them on a large scale. Otherwise, how to enrich the diet and how to eat meat.
More than 2000 cattle are definitely not enough to cultivate nearly [-] square kilometers of land. At this time, the role of the army is displayed.If there are not enough animals, people should be animals to pull the plow. If one person is not enough, two should be used, and if two people are not enough, three should be used. It is right to exercise the body.
Compared with the common people, the army farming is the main force. After they reclaim a large area of military farmland, they have to farm for the common people. The front is for the public and the back is for their own family.
As for the age of military service in the army, it has not been fully implemented.Because this is not just a simple matter of being a soldier, it is a systematic project.Including material level, medical foundation, educational foundation, etc., it is determined by a series of factors, not just a simple sentence.
Now that population fertility is mentioned, this is necessary.The extra three or four years, compared with ten births, only three or four can live to ten years old, this is a very important point.The service age, although 20 years old is not mentioned now, is also being tightened, and the guards will gradually weed out veterans who are over 32 years old and are not yet officers.
Basic education is a long process.For example, now, even if he has printed a book and brought Cai Yong over, how can there be so many teachers to teach?
As for the impact of papermaking and printing on the wealthy family, it can basically be ignored.Because the root of this lies in education, in the national system of selecting officials, no one teaches, and the books are distributed everywhere, and there are a few who can understand the characters. He has made some achievements in education.
The basis of education is material conditions. Only when the basic needs of life are met, can one have time to learn and progress, and then cultivate a lofty goal.
Similarly, material conditions also determine the basis of medical care. Seeing a doctor costs money, training doctors costs money, medicinal materials cost money, research costs money, and so on.Doctors also determine the survival of babies and patients, and guarantee the lives of the people. This is another basis for deciding military service.
The military service system, in turn, determines the decisive factor in protecting the means of production.Only by guaranteeing one's own production income and the lives of the people can one continuously improve the material base, and further promote the construction of education and medical systems.
The life expectancy of people in the Han Dynasty was generally around 40 to [-] years old. They died of hunger, severe cold, disease, and military disasters.But all the above things are developing for the better, and the life expectancy will increase naturally.
At least for the time being under the rule of General Wang, it can be said with certainty that the common people will only die from serious illnesses and accidents at work.
The vigorous production and construction started, and Wang Yan was too busy.
All day long, with a group of more than ten personal guards, he wandered around on horseback.Check out the brick kiln today, look at the glass kiln mouth, see the progress of the soil digging tomorrow, discuss the armor with the blacksmith the day after tomorrow, see the iron ore and iron smelting situation, and study with the carpenter what else needs to be done, To see patients, pay attention to the breeding of various animals, and go out every day to see a few diseases for others.
From time to time, I have to go to other places to inspect, to see if the civilian officials are dedicated to their work, and if someone is crazy about money, they have to pay attention to the farming situation of the army, and pay attention to the physical and mental health of the soldiers. Sima studied the Humu system, and those who were not married studied marriage matters, and the saltworks had to pay attention to it, which also made a lot of money.
Regularly, take stock of your assets and see how long you can last.We have to study how to collect business taxes, and we have to find people to spread the idea of peace in the north. We need to let people know that they are open for business now, so you can come and have a look. Whether you are rich or poor, you can Come and sell something.
It's not easy to operate in the pass, because the business is controlled by the wealthy family, and the distance is farther away. Wang Yan can't do business directly with individuals, but in the north, there is no problem.They come to trade by themselves, and no one can stop them.
In this process, they will envy the lives of the people under the rule of the general, and they will be infiltrated little by little, and the general will take advantage of material and cultural advancements to take them down little by little.
As the key to economic trade, coins are necessary.By the autumn harvest this year, Wang Yan will use coins to buy the surplus food of the people under his rule, and in the coming year, the economic activities under his rule will be initially active, and that is the beginning of prosperity.
In Tuhe City, a lot of book gardens have been expanded, and Wang Yan no longer sits in front of the French windows. It's very simple, because of the heat, he moved all the desks and the like inside a lot.
Not only that, the previous mats and short tables are all gone, and a set of solid wood tables and chairs made of elm is replaced, and kneeling is finally changed.
At this moment, the general, who was wearing a plain white Sichuan brocade shirt, was looking at Zhen Cheng who was standing there trembling and flipping through books with a smile.
After a while, Zhen Cheng carefully placed the book on General Wang's desk: "General, this book is really a gift from heaven!"
This is somewhat exaggerated, but Zhen Cheng's flattery is in place. Wang Yan waved his hand lightly, and sat lazily on the chair covered with tiger skin: "Meng Guang's words are exaggerated. This is the ingenuity of Marquis Cai. What do the creations of my people have to do with the sky? What do you think of this book?"
"It's really good. The writing is smooth, the printing is square, the ink is clear, and it's more like a book. With this book, culture and education will flourish." Zhen Sheng changed the subject and said, "General Qian Fan ordered Cai Yong to come here. I went to see Cai Yong in the land of Wu, and spoke out about the general's ambitions, but he was unmoved. According to the general's instructions, I asked again and again. Today, the general has good luck and magic, so there is no need to threaten Cai Yong, but with this book, I will teach you three times. He flies to cast."
This is a good employee, let's not talk about buying books to make money, let's connect this book with the boss's account first.Although Wang Yan didn't have much contact with the representatives of other powerful clans, he can directly judge that those people are not as good as Zhen Sheng when they are tied together.
One of the simplest reasons is that the Zhen family is in decline, when its survival is in danger, and it is necessary to give up the face of the wealthy family, otherwise it would not be possible to promise the daughter of the chief clan, who is 13 years apart, to General Wang Son.And the other wealthy families are all behemoths.If you can let go of your face, you will naturally gain more and make greater progress.
This is a condition that representatives of other wealthy families do not have. Although Wang Yan has now been granted the title of Marquis of Liao and General of Tianwu, he is officially worshiped as the prefect of Liaodong, and he actually controls most of Liaoxi County. land.There are 40 people, and the vassals who ruled the land of Liaodong who can pull out [-] soldiers with all their strength, are not in the eyes of the Central Plains family.
Yes, the Han family has come to Liaodong to proclaim the decree and give it to Yinshou. '...
If Zhen Sheng had been the family of the Zhen family, the Zhen family might have been better than it is now, but it's a pity that he is an outsider, and he can't be the family or the master.
Wang Yan then asked, "Cai Yong's daughter, can you find out?"
"He had five daughters, the eldest daughter died young, the second daughter and the third daughter were married, the fourth daughter was named Yan, and was ten years old, Xu Dongwei's family, the fifth daughter was named Li, who was eight years old, Cai Yong's wife died early, and now The Yang clan sent her daughters to accompany her attendants. He did not care about worldly affairs in Wu, but devoted himself to learning, teaching, and seeking scholars. He was very fond of books and had a huge collection of books."
"Very well, Cai Yong is coming, Yan and Li are coming, and his huge collection of books is also coming. It may be difficult for a thousand soldiers to take care of it, and then two thousand soldiers of yours will go to Wu with the team. Food and grass, you will subsidize it, and it will be deducted from the transaction."
"Sheng, I will live up to the general's expectations." Zhen Sheng avoided the table and bowed.
"In the past, I taught you to bring all the books in the Zhen family's collection. You should do this quickly. It is not my study of your family, but I want to print all the books in the Zhen family's collection into this book. Compared with bamboo slips, this book exists in the world. Longer. Compared with silk books, this book contains more information, and it is easier to read when you hold it."
Wang Yan said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, I will print two copies of the book with the Zhen family, and one copy will be for my collection. I do have the intention of selling books, but I will definitely not sell the books in your family's collection. Last year, I will arrange it myself. When we raised troops, we gained a lot along the way. The Gongsun family in Xiangping was destroyed and many were destroyed. This bookstore is my collection of books, and it is also for sale. This matter is all related to the Ru Zhen family. What I want is food and grass. , Hao family collection of books.
When I have a large collection of books, I should set up a single pavilion, my name is "Zangshu Pavilion". Cai Yong came here, he should be the head of this pavilion, manage the books, and do the old things of Lao Tzu, or he can also get the way. "
"General, don't worry, all books collected by the Zhen family can be sold. My Zhen family sells books, and other wealthy families will also sell books. It is a good thing for us to exchange family collections. My Zhen family should set an example."
The thing is such a thing, Mrs. Zhen prints the book on paper, and imposes some conditions when selling the book, not only to spend money, but also to get the book, is it all up to Mrs. Zhen?In this way, it is indeed a good thing that the general builds a book collection pavilion in Liaodong, and they can also work together to build a family library library in Wuji's hometown.
Besides, Wang Yan didn't know how many books they had in their family. It was no big deal if they didn't take out some treasured books.
Wang Yan nodded affirmatively, and then asked: "Since you have contacted Shi Changshi, you can communicate with Qian, the secretary's collection of books should be huge, and the books can be transported to Liaodong in batches, and after the reprinting is completed, You can return the book."
"This matter is easy to hear, the general will sit down in Liaodong, and there will be a book in two months."
Books are precious, and knowledge is precious because of scarcity.Even more precious is teaching.This is exactly what the rich family studies teach.They are all the six arts of a gentleman, but obviously, even if you are literate, you can't understand them just by reading a book.Besides, the art of war, which is now a compulsory course, needs to be guided by famous teachers.
Liu Bei's royal privileges and blessings have been cut off, his family has been reduced to farmers, and he himself makes a living by weaving mats and selling money.How can you be sworn brothers with Guan Zhang and lead five hundred soldiers and horses to fight?
Don't underestimate 500 people, and don't underestimate marching and fighting. It's not just talking about it, but Liu Bei did it.Before meeting Zhuge Liang, although Liu Bei had been wandering, many battles and many operations were all done by himself.All this is because he has a good teacher. Lu Zhi is a serious boss. This is his ability in the study of Confucian classics and the art of war apart from his official status.
Gongsun Zan was able to take the land of Youzhou and become a vassal, naturally because of his teacher Lu Zhi, and the skills he learned from other people later.If not, he was born in the Zhigongsun family, and he would not be ranked high today. He is still a concubine, and it is almost impossible to reach that height.
Those who are really talented can summarize and learn by themselves. In fact, the books and knowledge handed down are also derived from this way.
But being able to continuously summarize, learn, and improve is a rare ability. Everyone knows that this is good, but there are only a few people who can really do it.Otherwise, the wheel of history rolls forward, and it doesn't have to always repeat itself.
"I'm naturally relieved. I've met Meng Guang so far, and I've lived up to my expectations. Meng Guang is a great talent."
"The general praises me very much, but Cheng dare not take it." Zhen Cheng arched his hands, unable to hide the smile on his face, he turned to say, "Last year the general taught me to send a caravan to the Western Regions to find cotton. The picture is generally the same, I really don't know if it is what the general is looking for."
Wang Yan raised his eyebrows: "Where are the seeds?"
"Although I carry some with me, I will teach the general to identify them. I got a total of stone cotton seeds during this trip, all of which are in the warehouse outside the city. Let's take a look at it, general." As he spoke, Zhen Cheng took out a kit from his bosom, opened it and handed it to Wang. Word.
After receiving the kit, he grabbed a handful of cotton from it, picked out the cotton seeds, nodded and smiled and said, "That's right, it's cotton seeds. Meng Guang has made great contributions."
"It's the right thing to do for the general, and I dare not talk about credit. Cheng really doesn't know what this cotton seed is used for, so I ask the general to clarify."
"This is like silk or hemp, which can be spun into cotton cloth. This is the fruit. After some beating, it can make it fluffy. It can be used as stuffing for clothes, and it can prevent severe cold. I have this cotton in Liaodong. It is really a blessing for Liaodong that there is no need to hide in the house in winter."
"Congratulations to the general for getting this good seed. In time, the bitter cold in Liaodong will be no worries. Congratulations, congratulations..."
Wang Yan laughed loudly: "Meng Guang's words are precise, it will take time, and it will take five years."
"General, I don't know how to get this kind of seed?"
"It needs to be in a place where the sun is shining for a long time, and the land needs a water source and sufficient soil strength."
"Mo Liaodong's land can't be planted?"
"The land of Pingguo is acceptable, but its production is much more difficult."
"How can it be planted?"
"It's Gumo (Aksu) of the Western Regions. If you have contact with the Protectorate of the Western Regions, you can send barbarians to farm, and I will trade salt and iron."
"When Sheng returns to Wuji, he will send someone to contact him by letter. If it doesn't work, what should we do?"
"It won't work."
General Wang waved his hand, it would be best if he agreed, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't agree.There is a kind of Pingguo, although the output is less, it is better than none, and a little bit always develops for the better.As long as there are seeds and the location is known, the future will be long.
In fact, the Yellow River and Yangtze River basins are also cotton-producing areas, but there is still not enough food to grow all over the ground.Cotton is a cash crop, but food is a basic living material. He cannot harm people.
Zhen Sheng nodded and didn't say any more.As for the general, Guishou, how did he know the unheard of cotton, he would not ask, let alone think too much about it.
At this moment, the personal guard came in with a report: "General, there is a letter from Suizhong Youqi, tens of thousands of yellow scarves are going north."
"Oh?"
"General, I know this matter, and I am about to report it to the general. All I saw along the way northward were the refugees of the Yellow Turbans. Not only tens of thousands, but tens of thousands, dragging families and mouths, stretching for hundreds of miles.
I sent soldiers from my family to find out that all the Yellow Turbans of Qing, Ji and You were defeated. I heard that the general defeated Wuhuan in the land of Liaodong, and was granted the title of Marquis of Liao and General Tianwu, and the official worship of the prefect of Liaodong.The states and counties along the way also knew the reason, but they didn't stop each other. Let the yellow scarves pass through the border and sweep the people to the north, which is really exhausting my plan. "
Zhen Sheng cupped his hands and talked about what he knew.
"Don't worry about Meng Guang. In the land of Liaodong, the good fields and fertile soil are uncultivated. I am not afraid of people coming to exhaust each other, but I am afraid that there will not be enough people coming." Wang Yan laughed and said, "Pass my military order, Xiong Wuwei divides three thousand troops to guard the Tuhe River. , Zhenwuwei immediately reorganized the army, fully armed, and hurried to Suizhong. You are also fully armed, take my equipment, and set off immediately."
"Yes!" The guard took the order and left.
Wang Yan said with a smile: "Do you want Meng Guang to go with you?"
"Sheng went south to work with the general, so he followed the general to see him."
"Put these five books away, pack your bags, and leave in half an hour..."
