Water Margin farming to become powerful

After everyone finished speaking, Sun Xin stood up with a smile, and the first sentence he spoke reassured everyone.

"I also know that it's not worth the loss to go directly to fight Da Song, and we haven't gotten to that point with Da Song, so why attack them first?"

Sun Xin asked the dealer to bring a map and spread it on the desk.

He pointed to Hongze Lake and Shangrao on the map.

"I sent troops this time not to attack Song Dynasty, but to open up bases in these two places."

In an instant, everyone who was still quite disapproving of Sun Xin's dispatch of troops was stunned, and they all looked at the map carefully.

Le He looked at the map, was surprised for a while, and then thought secretly. Although he has governed the Supervisory Council for so long, although he doesn't care about the Supervisory Council's external expansion strategy, as the chief steward, he also knows what the Supervisory Council needs.

He also knew a little about Qingzhou, which was on the edge of the Supervisory Committee's governance, and the places further north. For those who didn't know, the surveillance map slightly marked the living population and village conditions around the bases of Shangrao and Hongze Lake.

Even if the supervisors of the Supervisory Committee are not smart people themselves, after working in such important positions for a few years, they will develop their abilities when they are forced to. Just looking at the population density, you can tell that these places are not considered rich.

Le He couldn't help but nodded secretly, as long as the people are not rich, the people will be poor, and if there are poor villager supervisors, there will be a chance to take root.

"These two places are poor, and our supervisory committee can lead the people to earn money and get rich. Just like in Shandong, we can establish a group of farmers and factories that depend on us, and then we can take root."

Le He asked, "Does it mean that the Board of Supervisors was established out of thin air in these two places?"

Sun Xin nodded: "These two places are indeed enclaves, but isn't our situation in Dengzhou also created out of thin air?"

"The conditions in these two places are better. As long as our army is stationed here, it can provide protection for the local supervisory committee. Under the influence of the army, it will be easier to establish a supervisory committee organization. These places will also be ours soon. ruled."

In an instant, everyone's eyes lit up, and Sun Xin's strategy might really work.

Then Sun Xin explained in detail his plan to establish bases in Shangrao and Hongze Lake.

The more people talked about it, the more reliable they felt. They never thought that the Supervisory Committee could rely on this method to jump over the Song Army's defense line and develop out of thin air behind the Song Dynasty. Thinking about it again, such a development is indeed very promising.

First of all, the Supervisory Committee did not go to war with Song Dynasty, but only sent a soldier to station in another place, and the place where he was stationed was not a city gate fortress. According to Sun Xin, it was even sent to two places, a total of six regiments. For decentralized operations, except for a few important bases for garrisoning troops, most of the strongholds that were originally under the governance of the masses are probably just a few dozen soldiers, and they are even directly handed over to the local nursing team for protection.

Such a small-scale infiltration will not provoke too serious conflicts in Da Song. Even if Da Song wants to fight them, as long as he survives the initial construction stage and has the Supervisory Council as a base, Da Song wants to arrest the guards stationed there. Baojun is also rare to catch.

"Our supervisory committee can't stay in Shandong and stay out. Although Shangrao is close to the border of Song and Liao in the north, there are heavy soldiers living in the Song Dynasty, but because of this, the conditions there are naturally not good. Our supervisory committee can take this opportunity to expand our base area. , in the future I plan to connect all the way to Liao Kingdom."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard the words, and they all felt that Sun Xin's strategy was extremely subtle.

The development of the Supervisory Committee in the Great Song Dynasty is very difficult at every step, but if it reaches the border between Song and Liao, where the governance level of both sides is very poor, it is a good opportunity for the Supervisory Committee to develop, and it can even be used as a springboard. The power of the Supervisory Council was sent all the way from the border to the Liao Kingdom.

A supervisor who fled from that place nodded repeatedly and said: "The poor people there are quite oppressed by the Liao people. When the Liao people plundered, they didn't dare to call the officers and soldiers to come. They formed a bow and arrow club by themselves. They went up the mountain with a lotus sword and went to the field with a bow. "

Everyone nodded when they heard the words.

As loyal supporters of the Supervisory Council, these supervisors are not opposed to the expansion of the Supervisory Council, but are just very worried about the cost of going to war with Song Dynasty. If Sun Xin expands in this way, they would like nothing more.

What's more, for the supervisors of each hole, this matter is definitely profitable.

With the opening of two new base areas, it is natural to send a large number of cadres to guide them. In the future, the supervisory committees in those areas will become popular, and there will be a large number of opportunities for advancement. Everyone is the leader of each department. If you think about it, you will know that you can succeed. With these things hanging around, the enthusiasm of the cadres in the supervisory committee will definitely be mobilized.

Tao Zongwang looked at the map for a long time and asked Sun Xin, "I'm afraid these two places are not good for farming."

Sun Xin nodded in agreement: "The area around Shangrao is not bad, but further north, the land is very barren."

Sun Xin naturally has a detailed understanding of the situation in the two places, and he has even selected the construction scope of the base area.After getting to know them, I can understand why these two places are poor.

The coastline of this era is more inward than that of later generations, so the large area north of Qingzhou is submerged in the sea these years. Dongying Mansion has already been established in these years, but the area of ​​Dongying has been greatly reduced due to the coastline. The estuary area is directly submerged in the sea.

And just because there is a large continent under the water surface, the sea area in this area is also surrounded by hidden reefs, and it is difficult to open a large port.

The most famous product in Binzhou is sea salt, and the life of kitchen households there is even poorer than that of Dengzhou kitchen households before the Supervisory Committee was established.

As for the area around Hongze Lake, the Yellow River does not enter the sea at Dongying these days, but turns south at Weihui and flows directly south into the Huai River.

Therefore, the Yellow River water gushing down from the Yellow River every year during the flood season directly fills up the river channels in the Jianghuai area, and the excess water flows upwards to the ground, directly making the counties along the coast into Zeguo.

In addition, the amount of water that the Huai River cannot accommodate will be poured backwards into other tributaries of the Huai River, and even the rivers in the entire Jianghuai region will flow backwards.

Therefore, in this era, Hongze Lake would flood regularly, which made the people by the lake quite miserable.As a result, Sizhou, not to mention the present, is also a difficult area for poverty alleviation in future generations.

Tao Zongwang heard the words and said: "It's true that you are poor, but we sent thousands of soldiers and horses over there. How will we solve the food and wages?"
