Lord of the House

(The first one, ask for a red ticket)

"I just went to the Ordnance Supervision Institute to watch alchemy. I watched the carriage on the Yihang house carrying good wine. Thinking that there was something to celebrate, I came over to ask for a glass of wine. I didn't expect Shangwang to come to Jiangning today." Lin Fu sat down and said with a smile, "Shangwang's journey is so fast, I just received a letter the day before yesterday saying that you just landed in Mingzhou..."

"When the lord was summoned, Shangwang did not dare to delay. After staying with Mr. Liang Wenzhan for the night, he crossed the river and rode a carriage all the way to Jiangning. He met General Yihang at Shengtai Gate, and learned that today's generals were rewarded by the lord. After taking a vacation, I will first come to General Yihang to have a small gathering with three or five old friends." Sun Shangwang said.

"Shangwang has worked hard in Yizhou these years," Lin Fu invited everyone to sit around the table and asked Sun Shangwang, "Song Bo took over the affairs of Yizhou, can you still adapt?"

Song Bo, the son of Song Fu, was one of the key figures who prompted the Song clan to join Huaidong. After the War in Mindong, Song Bo used Hu Zhiyong, a councillor, to govern the affairs of Mindong. Sun Shangwang was transferred to Jiangning, and Song Bo went out to know Yizhou.

"Song Bomin is very smart, has extensive knowledge, and has a deep temperament and the degree of a general. He will definitely bring Yizhou and Nanyang maritime affairs to a higher level. He is only blunt and foolish, and has the expectations of the lord..." Sun Shangwang said.

"The sour Confucianism of your speech has not changed," Lin Fu said with a smile, "If I am not satisfied with your work in Yizhou, why would I transfer you and Chengfu to Jiang Ningyi as an assistant?"

Sun Shangwang smiled awkwardly, should not be, should not be.

Wang Chengfu also acted in fear to show that he did not dare to receive such praise.

Over the years, Wang Chengfu first led Yudong County, and then served as the salt supervisor of Huainan, presided over the transformation of Yudong Palace into a county and the reform of salt administration. He has also done a lot of work in these years.

Wang Chengfu went out to Yudong County, and successively built the Yudonghan seawall, which is 60 miles long. On the basis of the original 40 mu of 10,000 grain fields, 300,000 mu of grain land and 400,000 mu of cotton fields were reclaimed. It has only been five years since the county was changed, but Yudong County has grown from 30,000 to 150,000 in the early days. Until last year, Yudong County was able to directly provide up to 600,000 shi of cotton raw materials for the Chongzhou spinning factory across the river, and it could also export more than 500,000 shi of rice grain.

In less than two years as the salt supervisor of Huainan, Wang Chengfu vigorously innovated the old method of boiling brine, and changed nearly half of the salt fields in the south of Yandu and north of Hecheng to the method of drying salt, and replaced the pasture and more than 40,000 salt households, Yanding was included in the two counties of Yandu and Jianling, which increased the number of fields in the two counties of Yandu and Jianling by more than 600,000 mu. In the Huainan salt area, despite the substantial reduction of salt households, salt farms, and pastures, the output not only did not decrease, but also increased by more than 300,000 rock salt last year.

Wang Chengfu only had the confidence to enter the center with such political achievements, but compared to Sun Shangwang's hard work and many pioneering work in Yizhou, Wang Chengfu also felt inferior.

Before Yudong County, there was a foundation for the reclamation of palace villages, and it was close to Haiyu, Chongzhou, Hecheng and other counties. It was easier to relocate people and settle down. Yizhou has been regarded as a wild land since ancient times. In addition, only maritime merchants, pirates and exiles regarded it as a place to live. In the early years, it was a hard place for the felons of Dongmin County to be exiled.

The large-scale development of Yizhou Island by the luxury family began 70 years ago. It was located in Zhuxi County. The city was only two miles away, not even a post castle. Even the roof of the county government office was covered with thatch to protect it from the wind and rain. The extravagant family abandoned Yizhou and carried out extensive damage to Zhuxi County. In the end, except for the more than ten thousand abandoned residents, all the other materials and Dingkou that could be taken away were moved into the land.

When Yizhou Island was newly acquired, there were not many people in Huaidong who were really willing to govern that barbaric land. In the early days, Lin Fu only had the navy control Yizhou, making it one of the places where the navy harassed eastern Fujian and Guangnan. It was not until Sun Shangwang withdrew from Jinhai that he officially established Fuxian in Yizhou.

Zhifu County in Yizhou was less than five years old. On the basis of more than 10,000 people in the early days, Sun Shangwang received nearly 40,000 prisoners of war and prisoners from southern Zhejiang and eastern Fujian for resettlement in Yizhou, and another 140,000 Daofan became a citizen, and more than 20,000 displaced households were moved from the mainland to Yizhou for resettlement, which made Yizhou at this time generally form a pattern of 250,000 people in one prefecture and four counties.

Of course, there is blood behind these achievements.

Lin Fu is determined to transform Yizhou from a barbaric land into a mature land and develop Yizhou Island on a large scale. The biggest difficulty is not the harsh environment, but the resistance of hundreds of thousands of indigenous people on the island.

In five years, as many as 10,000 people died due to the suppression of the Yizhou army and navy in order to become a citizen of the 140,000 islands, and almost wiped out the primitive tribal nobles on the original Yizhou island. The island nobles who were clean and surrendered were also exiled to other places. In the early days, in order to develop coal, iron and forest resources, manage coal yard, iron yard, forest farm, and build seaports, nearly a quarter of the 40,000 prisoners of war died of disease in five years. One, in the later period, the main force of the Southeast Navy had to be mainly stationed in the two new seaports on Yizhou Island.

In order to avoid the possible instability of Song Bo's takeover of Yizhou, Sun Shangwang specially requested an amnesty order for the remaining 30,000 prisoners of war before leaving Yizhou, so that they would all be resettled on the spot and registered as citizens, in order to eliminate the Yizhou. State Island is currently the biggest hidden danger.

In the past five years, Sun Shangwang, on the basis of less than 200,000 mu of farmland in the original Bamboo Creek, has collected nearly 600,000 mu of rice field for taxation, reclaimed more than 400,000 mu of grain fields, and planted sugarcane in Yizhou. Sugar, newly cultivated sugarcane fields are twice as large as grain fields, and tussah sugar is dumped in eastern Fujian, eastern Zhejiang, Jianghuai and other places. Coal, iron and forest farms are managed here, with an annual output of 4 million baskets of coal and 6 million catties of iron. One-third of the giant trees used in shipyards in Chongzhou and Mingzhou are produced in Yizhou.

And Sun Shangwang can develop Yizhou to this level within five years. Huaidong invested only 500,000 taels of silver before and after, and more investment came from Nanyang sea trade - Sun Shangwang is also Huaidong's internal support for Lin Fu's expansion and colonization in Nanyang. The most determined core person in the strategy has resumed routes with Luzon, Champaign, Jinzhou and other places within five years.

The southern end of Yizhou Island is only 700 miles away by sea from the northern end of Luzon Island. Avoiding the summer and autumn storm seasons, sea ships can sail from the southern end of Yizhou Island to the coast of Luzon in two days.

After importing raw silk and primary industrial products to the Haidong region and making huge profits, Huaidong will naturally not let go of the fat meat of Nanyang.

However, previous estimates of the population of Southeast Asia have been greatly underestimated.

Including Annan, the area of ​​Annan and the Nanyang Islands is about eight to ten times larger than that of the Haidong Islands. Even if the development of the Nanyang Islands is not as good as that of the Central Plains and Haidong, the total population is likely to exceed that of the Haidong Islands. 40 million, belonging to the kingdoms of Luzon, Pai, Annam, Siam, and Johor; this does not include the Jiduo Dynasty, which may have been comparable to the Central Plains in terms of land occupation and population.

This is also in line with Lin Fu's memory of future generations, and there must be a colonial market with a total population of over 100 million in order to support the sustainable development of primary industrialization.

Of course, the final determination of Huaidong's status in Haidong is directly related to Huaidong's continuous defeat of the Saga clan and the Korean water infantry in Songpu in the Japanese country and Seogwipo in the Danlu country. It was these two battles that made Dongzhou The Governor's Office and Jeju Hsingying officially took root in Jeju Island and Fusang Songpo, which also enabled the continuous penetration of trade into Korea and Japan through Jeju and Songpo.

Now that Goryeo is caught in the civil war between the Zhen clan in Haiyang County and the royal family Li clan, Huaidong, led by Ma Yigong in Haidong, builds a Haidong camp army with a total number of 30,000 Shui Infantry Army, using the gains from trade infiltration to Goryeo, Directly supported Zhen's war against the royal family's Li family; but the total trade volume with the Fusang Islands reached 10,200,000 taels of silver last year. In addition to the return of millions of taels of silver to the country, an annual In addition, nearly one million catties of copper, hundreds of thousands of catties of silver, and tens of thousands of catties of gold were imported from the Japanese country to make up the difference between trade and to supplement the shortage of currency for Huaidong's increasingly prosperous trade activities.

Due to the lack of one or two deterrent wars against the kingdoms of the South Seas, it is impossible to completely open the trade gates of the South Seas. The total trade volume also reached a total of 8 million taels of silver last year.

In order to make the Nanyang trade continue and deepen, the large-scale development of Yizhou Island is a necessary step.

In the past five or six years, nearly 50% of the proceeds from trade with Nanyang have been invested in materials in the amount of millions of taels of silver, which is how Yizhou Island is today.

After the war in East Fujian was completely over, the entire area under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Office of East Fujian was no more than 20,000 soldiers. Lin Fu also supported the formal establishment of the Southeast Navy Division, the compilation of 15,000 soldiers, and the compilation of Jinhai-class soldiers. The more than 40 warships mentioned above, in the final analysis, are to keep the trade penetration and expansion to the Nanyang Islands continue.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, the Xungui group tended to become introverted and conservative, because they could obtain a lot of materials from the land after the war to maintain their luxurious living conditions.

Lin Fu doesn't expect everyone to be equal, nor does he expect the Xungui Group, who followed him to create a new era, to maintain a hard and simple style. To change the old pattern and create a new pattern, how can the Xungui Group's vision be changed from the traditional one. Land transfer?

At least for now, trade penetration, expansion, and even plundering of overseas areas is feasible, and the profit is far more lucrative than purely cultivated land.

In this world, there are 2,000 fields. To be considered a rich land, one or two hundred tenant farmers are required to cultivate. After the grain price is finally stabilized, the income from the rent of a thousand stone grains will only be five or six hundred silver dollars. The later generations are not even comparable to the middle class; far from being comparable to the emerging manufacturers and trading seamen.

Over the years, Huaidong has not received much directly from the traditional grain rent and farmland, but last year, after deducting the investment in construction in various places and expanding the production scale of factories, the annual income reached 10 million silver dollars, which strongly supported the wars in Huirao and Jingxiang. , mainly relying on the trade penetration and expansion of emerging factories to the mainland and overseas markets.

Revenue can be said to be the core data that supports the decision-making of the center - to maintain a strong and sustainable empire, it is absolutely impossible without strong enough financial support.

Ordinary people can only see the strength and invincibility of the Huaidong Army on the surface, but the deeper reason behind it is that the military investment of up to 1,600 silver dollars last year supported such a powerful battle of the Huaidong Army. Strength - Before the collapse of Yanji, Yanjing maintained a total of 300,000 troops in the frontier army and the Jingying army, which cost only five or six million taels of silver a year; Li Zhuo later reorganized the Jizhen army for three years before and after. It was only supported by Emperor Chongguan of less than two million taels of silver.

Pragmatic generals and officials can see the root cause from this array of data.

Comparing the revenue obtained from traditional land with the revenue obtained from emerging factories and trade penetration and expansion into the domestic market, once the latter far exceeds the former, at least at the central level, pragmatic officials will not go the old way.

It is very simple ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ to go the old way, which means that the central annual income will be greatly reduced. Once it is reduced to the traditional scale of less than 10 million taels, how can it support the expenditure of the huge bureaucracy and the army?

Without the existence of a huge bureaucratic group and a capable army, how can the clan and the noble group guarantee their interests?

The core layers of Huaidong have a clear understanding of the Huaidong New Deal and the current revenue structure.

Of course, some people's minds can't be fixed by the old thinking. Therefore, Lin Fu needs officials who can implement his New Deal thinking to enter the center to maintain and consolidate the New Deal, and let the old-minded people withdraw from the pension.

Lin Fu plans to change the generation of central officials every ten to fifteen years. As long as the second generation or above can maintain the new policy firmly, at least at the central level, the New Deal thinking can be rooted. The new-style school, with a period of two to five years, can expand the thinking of the New Deal to a broader and deeper level.

To say that Huaidong was still interfered by many old forces and old traditions when implementing the Lin Fu New Deal, and it was also mainly considering the factors of stability, and could not adopt too many **** promotion methods; The most thorough area is also the bloodiest area.

Sun Shangwang, Wang Chengfu, and Li Shuyi are of course far from being on a par with Lin Mengde, Lin Xuwen, Huang Jinnian, Song Fu, Sun Jingxuan and others in terms of qualifications and achievements, or even Liu Zhi, but their most distinctive feature is that these years They are the officials who have implemented the thinking of Lin Fu's New Deal the most and have achieved outstanding achievements, so that their own qualifications and prestige are enough to support them to enter the central government.

General Lin Fu's independence from the Privy Council is to maintain the purity of the army and reduce the interference of the old and new political contradictions on the army. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
