Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Many of the local tenant farmers in Fushan own their own land, and some are military households who have been helping the army to cultivate the land. www>

In the past few months, although the main energy has been on preparing for the battle, Zhang Shouren has never stopped buying Zhuangtian.Fushan's 20 mu of land can only be the beginning, what he wants to build is a huge army, and the current family background alone is definitely not enough.During this period of time, Denglei and Qingzhou, especially the war-torn Terengganu, were his main targets for buying farms.

After Kong Youde's war, the population of Dengzhou Prefecture has dropped by at least half. The area around Huang County that has experienced the war has a radius of tens of miles, and the population is only one percent of what it was before. People cultivate, the land price is extremely low, and it is not difficult to buy large quantities.

The most critical thing is the lack of manpower and cattle, improved seeds, and farm tools.With these, there is no fear of not being able to collect food.

Although the natural disasters in the Little Ice Age are still continuing, Zhang Shouren and his subordinates have accumulated a lot of experience, digging wells, digging channels, diverting canals, and accumulating manure. impact of disasters.Although the output is definitely not comparable to that of the two lakes and the south of the Yangtze River, compared with the previous output, it is at least two or three times the increase. [

This gave Fushan full confidence. From November last year to now, in the past few months, the army is preparing for war, and the main energy of the civilian department is still on farming and merging farms!

At this moment, it is time to blossom and bear fruit.

"My lord," Zhong Rong joined Zhang Shouren very late, that is, a month or two earlier than Zhang Deqi and Li Xin. , is highly trusted, but also because of its strong ability.Zhang Shouren didn't hesitate at all, and replied happily: "My lord, we have purchased 61 villages and 14 mu of land in Dengzhou alone, and it is estimated that 30 households will be placed there. At least [-]% of the refugees in the city can live there." The first group went to Dengzhou. For the rest, there are seventeen villages in Laizhou, which are enough to accommodate them. We cut wood for a month during the winter slack, prepared a lot of firewood, and enough beams and so on. When the refugees arrive, let’s live in thatched huts for a while. We will burn the kiln and make bricks to build the house, and we will pay for the labor and materials. As for the rations for the first three months, they have been prepared before. When the summer harvest comes, Fushan’s grain can keep up. However, after the expansion of the army, there will be a lot of military rations. There are too many people who are responsible for distributing rations. At that time, the food pressure will be extremely high. This year’s food shortage will still be huge. The money for resettlement is [-], which should be able to For a while, there are really not many cattle for farming. There is no way, we can’t find so many cattle in Shandong Province, and we can buy them in Hebei and Henan, and they are even rarer. Farm tools, if the iron mining in Laiwu If you don't come up...you're hanging!"

Zhong Rong’s report was actually very skillful. Let’s talk about the preparation first. The most important farm land is ready, and the silver rations are enough, but the houses, cattle, iron tools, these important things are still With a huge gap, the situation is naturally very grim.

Zhang Shouren also heaved a long sigh, and said to his cronies: "We are going to raise soldiers to fight the Tartars. We don't have enough food to farm the fields. It is said that this is the business of the imperial court. It should be that the imperial court allocated our military households to cultivate land and raise soldiers. Now we can only Come on your own, what can you do? It looks like you have to suffer for another year!"
