Chapter 979

: The extra hundred-foot pole head goes further

It will soon be the end of April 208.

Zhou Yu, who had been suffering in Yizhou for five years, felt that he seemed to have returned to the state of hard work and pioneering and survival.

Tens of thousands of new Han immigrants, supported by iron farm tools and tools, lived with the several times of the Fusang barbarians. They also captured tens of thousands of Fusang men who had committed crimes as slaves, and carried out high-intensity reclaims and labors day and night.

The farmland that was not very fertile and primitive and extensive farming was significantly improved. The originally lazy and casual Fusang barbarians also learned to apply fertilization and compost to farm, plow deep and till the fire, and set fire to burn the wasteland.

Lush rice, wheat seedlings, radish and vegetables spread from both sides of Yodogawa to around Lake Biwa. On the mountain valley road that crosses the Ekimae and Kaga Plain along the Whale Sea.

The establishment of Han rule also brought the first system of land inspection and land control for the local government.

After all, under the original Yamato rule, society was still in the process of primitive transformation into slavery, and the rulers had no idea how much land there was in the world, and they didn't have to care about it.

In ancient times, Japan established the Bantian method, and theoretically, it was necessary to send the Sui envoys to the Tang envoys to bring them back to the Central Plains system.

In Japan at the end of the Han Dynasty, the local rulers were concerned about how many people each tribe had and how much labor labor should be provided to the royal capital every year. The country's dispatching capacity was still at the level of possession of labor and did not even collect taxes.

Without tax collection and inspection, the locals would not deliberately resist the inspection, and there would be no destructive incident of rebellion with the powerful families in the Central Plains.

A piece of white paper is easy to paint. Zhou Yu, Gan Ning and Zhuge Liang worked together to easily figure out the population situation of the land acres.

With population and land data, Li Sukang took advantage of the situation and established a preliminary county division in the spring of this year to further confirm the rights and responsibilities of the area and assign tax technicians.

According to statistics, the total population of Han people on the Fuso Islands has reached as many as 100,000 this year.

Among them, 20,000 were naval soldiers, 30,000 were sailors and fishermen who followed Taishici and Ganning's naval operations. The last 50,000 were the newly arrived Northeastern immigrants this year, and the second generation of Qingxu immigrants.

The total indigenous population in the Fusang area is still around 1.4 million. The one million Fusang people are basically ruled by the Han people, and there are still 400,000 Xiong Ximan and the Eagle Man who are not under control.

Based on the latest rule, Li Su divided the previously divided "Pingzhou" including Sanhan and Fusang into four counties.

The Sanhan area is divided into two counties, and the Fusang area is also divided into two counties.

The two counties of Sanhan, one in later generations, are called Seoul County, which rule the northwest half of Sanhan, and the Han River Basin. The center of Busan in later generations is called Busan County.

There is no need to be an unconventional place name. It was originally the first springboard for the Han Dynasty to establish rule in Sanhan and Fusang, and it was very good to call Seoul. Besides, in order to de-sinicize the later generations, Bangzi changed it to Seoul. Li Su now wants to emphasize the Chineseization, and it is very good to call Seoul directly.

Seoul County has three counties: Seoul County, Tunnan County and Jiangyuan County. Among them, Jiangyuan County is no problem with naming it, so it means the source of the Han River and the plain on the upper river bank.

There is no need to change the name of Busan County, because it is determined by the terrain around the Busan Basin. The city is a sunken lowland with mountains surrounding it, which looks like a pot of concave, so Li Su named him Busan, and no one would doubt the naming principle.

Busan County is under the jurisdiction of Busan County, Danluo County and Baekje County.

The two counties in the Fusang part are Zhuzi County and Yamato County.

The Zhuzi County includes Kyushu Island, Tsushima Island and Honshu Island. This division is also to prevent the Fusang area from becoming a county in the future, and the tendency to centrifuge" in the centrifugal area. Therefore, Li Su deliberately disrupted the administrative divisions through the strait, so that the strength of each county is relatively balanced, and it is not completely based on the geographical division line.

Zhuzi County evolved from the original Xiema Tai Kingdom and added a part of new territory.

It is under its jurisdiction, including Jizi Prefecture (Kitkyushu), Tsukima Prefecture, and Ginjima Prefecture. Among them, Ginjima Prefecture is the western extension of Honshu Island, which is equivalent to the merger of Hiroshima Prefecture in later generations, Shimane Prefecture, Tottori Prefecture and other places along the coast of the Japanese Sea.

The reason why it is called Ginjima is not Hiroshima but because Li Su is sure that he can find Ginjima within the administrative division, so he named it like this in advance and will definitely not be missed in the future.

Yamato County naturally evolved from Yamato Kingdom, with Osaka Prefecture, Yamato Prefecture (Nara), Shinlao Prefecture, Kanazawa Prefecture, and Otsuyama Prefecture. (Note: "Shang" is the word "Shang", and there is no need to use the word "Shang" when Li Su comes)

The word "ban" means a gentle slope in Chinese. The so-called "Zhao Yun's bloody battle with Dangyang Changban" is a very long gentle slope with a long downhill slope.

So Osaka actually means a fertile and gentle slope plain in the Yamato Mountains along the Seto Inland Sea. Lee Su re-appointed the name Osaka, which is also easy to identify and is very reasonable.

Yamato Prefecture respects the original name of Yamato, leaves some face to the barbarians, and facilitates a smooth transition. There is no need to increase the difficulty of cognition.

Xinluo Prefecture is the historical Kyoto, which was expanded this year by Zhou Yu to expand to the coast of the Japanese Sea. The surrounding areas around Kyoto were originally a mature territory of Yamato before the Han rulers arrived, but it was just a large rural area with no cities.

Li Su felt that around Lake Biwa, where Kyoto is located, can take on the "central land hub connecting the Sea of ​​Japan and the Pacific Ocean", and it is also a key node in the transition from one ocean to two ocean rule, so it must be built.

In order to show that this place is the core of the future Fusang region rule, they were given a glory and let them learn from Luoyang, which was the Han Dynasty, and named it Xinluo.

There is no need to change the name of Kanazawa. It is the first fertile plain area and natural excellent harbor that I encountered when I went north of Xinluo and just arrived on the coast of the Japanese Sea.

Kanazawa can be understood as "the port of gold/trade wealth gathering". In the future, Li Su will develop Jinshan on Sado Island. This is definitely a harbor transfer hub. If you choose this name in advance, you will get a lottery meaning. If it is realized in the future, everyone will definitely feel it is appropriate.

The last Yokoyama Prefecture is the place where Echin, Echin, Echin and Echin came to the Kasugayama Castle in the Warring States Period and the Niigata Plain in later generations.

The meaning of crossing the mountain is that it means that these are several independent small plains that need to be separated by mountains extending all the way to the coast. You have to cross the mountains that can reach the peninsula to communicate by land. The land transportation distance is much shorter than bypassing the peninsula at sea, but it is difficult to cross the mountain.

There are two counties and six counties in the Sanhan area, two counties and eight counties in the Fusang area, and four counties in the entire Pingzhou.

The population is 1.7 million (Sanhan 600,000, Han people 200,000 indigenous people 400,000. Fusang 1.1 million, Han people 1.1 million, Han people 1.0 million indigenous people 1.0 million indigenous people 1.0 million)

The results of land inspections in the field were that a total of 65 million acres of arable land in three, two counties and six counties accounted for about 110 acres of land per capita.

The two counties and eight counties in Fusang have a total of 71 million Chinese mu of arable land, and the per capita land account for only 60 Chinese mu.

It can be seen that the area of ​​available plains in Japan under Li Su's control is only 10% more than that of Sanhan, which is completely disproportionate. This is also related to the fact that the Kanto region has not been developed at all and it is impossible to develop within several years.

The country with a territory of nearly 400,000 square kilometers in the future in Japan is now under the control of about 100,000 square kilometers. Only then can it be found that 15,000 square kilometers can be developed into arable land, accounting for only 12% to 13%, which is considered to be a half-fourth mountainous area and one and a half-fourth plain.

During his lifetime, Li Suyou could only use the fertile Dantai Plain around Nagoya in later generations.

As long as there is no gold and silver mine, the court will feel that it is worthwhile to develop it no matter how far away it is, because in-kind taxes such as grain and labor taxes such as corvee cannot be dispatched by the central government. Even if these places are developed, they will not benefit the central government.

This year is already the last year for Li Su to inspect the newly occupied areas of Dongyi. After this sorting, the administrative division system has finally been sorted out.

Moreover, it was not opposed by the local ruled civilians. In the future, the future was clear and there was no need to sway between the throne and the direct jurisdiction of the Han people.

Although many farmlands are new and the harvest is probably less than half of the fertile and mature fields, even if the court does not collect agricultural taxes, the people will only eat enough and not be hungry, and they cannot be rich. They still have to catch some fish and subsidize their food.

Li Su could not collect agricultural taxes in Fusang immediately, so the rebound would be very fierce, so he could only engage in slave labor and mining exports first.

It is estimated that agricultural tax will take one generation before it can be put on track, and it will always be necessary for twenty years.

...

After the comprehensive rule system in Fusang area was established, Zhou Yu was currently assigned by Li Su, only dealing with the land reclamation and construction of the three counties of Xinluo, Kanze and Yueshan.

He had a total of 10,000 Han navy, sailors, 20,000 new immigrants, and more than 200,000 Fusang people. Each of the three counties had millions of arable land, totaling nearly 20 million Chinese acres, and new land accounted for most of them.

After completing the spring plowing in April and planting crops randomly, Zhou Yu finally had his hands free to build two county towns and wharfs in Jinze and Yueshan, simple ship repair yards, each of which used 20,000 to 30,000 to 30,000 to 30,000, and thousands of Han craftsmen and supervisors.

Since there is no need to pay food tax, all the people's obligations to the government must be offset by corvee labor. The Han people in the Central Plains paid taxes and served for at least one and a half months.

Now the people of Fusang are exempted from paying food and do not pay money. It is not too much to serve slaves and corvee services for two or three times the time of the Han people. So Li Su stipulated that "even male free people in Fusang work for the imperial infrastructure projects for four months every year." This takes up most of the slack season.

Fortunately, they are all working locally and don’t have to travel far, which reduces a lot of other extra losses.

After the end of the corvee service for one and a half months in the summer, the initial dock facilities and government systems in the Xinluo and Kanazawa areas were built in a hurry. Zhou Yu's previous severely damaged sea ships were able to roughly repair the shipyard in Kanazawa Port, and then slowly sailed back to the Seto Inland Sea along the west side of the Sea of ​​Japan.

But something happened. When sailing to the coast of Japan Sea near Tottori Prefecture and Shimae Prefecture in later generations, Zhou Yu's broken ships that had just been repaired were attacked by the "Tottori Sand Dunes" (Tottori Sand Dunes is the only desert terrain in Japan, facing the coast of the Japan Sea, but it is too small, so it is not worthy of being called a desert, it can only be called a sand dune).

The local desert slope terrain is more difficult to block the summer monsoon from the Pacific Ocean than other Xiguo Mountains, so the ships are damaged and aggravated.

A army Sima under Zhou Yu had to find another harbor near Shimae Prefecture to dock, set up a temporary stronghold, and then use local materials to strengthen the broken ship, and cross the Xiguo Mountains by land to seek help from the government in Yindao Prefecture on the other side.

This invisibly made the government of Yindao Prefecture's exploration of inland mountainous areas and the side near the Japanese Sea, and also opened up a relatively convenient valley road to temporarily cross the mountainous areas, which happened to be located near Ishimi Yinshan in later generations.

In addition, Zhou Yu mainly built Xinluo and Kanze this summer. After all, those places have foundations, and there were originally towns and primitive cities.

The Yueshan County area has a poor foundation and has not even had the original prototype of the city before. It is completely a "mixed-blood settlement area between the Hokkien and Fusang people who have just been farmed", so there is no time to build infrastructure this summer.

Zhou Yu had to go step by step until the slack farming period this winter, and then concentrated on organizing manpower and material resources to do it. Therefore, it was impossible to explore Sado Island on the other side of the Niigata Plain in later generations before this.

...

Zhou Yu spent more than half a year repairing ships and building a new port, and laying out the "two-sea strategy", so Gan Ning replaced him and carried out the exploration of the northbound voyage this summer.

Gan Ning is definitely not as smart as Zhou Yu, so he cannot let him go when he explores the rules of the monsoon. After gaining experience for the second time, simply pursuing rashness can be considered as the best use of the people.

Gan Ning already knew that the whole summer and autumn was southwest wind, and the northwest side wind could be maintained in early winter, and it was not until the twelfth lunar month that was completely strong and the northeast wind was completely strong. So this time he was very brave and started going north in May slack farming, and set off for more than four months earlier than Zhou Yu last year.

Considering that the month-and-a-month-long "northwest wind" during late October and the entire November period is crosswind for voyages northward or southward, the wind during this period can be used for both the departure and return journey.

Before Gan Ning set out, he asked Zhuge Liang, a good math master, to help him plan his schedule. Zhuge Liang suggested that he could bravely explore northward for four months from the end of May to the beginning of October.

After turning to northwest wind, the next one and a half months of crosswind and two months of strong tailwinds will be used to return. This way, the round trip will basically last three or four months, which can be at least twice as far away than Zhou Yu's sail last year.

Gan Ning knew it in his mind, and repeatedly explained the plan to the soldiers, unifying his thoughts. He also said that His Majesty had just issued an order this year, and the Prime Minister reported that Zhou Yu was granted an additional marquis of a large county to reward geographical discoveries and species discoveries.

Zhou Yu brought more than 1,000 expedition members last year. As long as he came back alive, His Majesty also promised a heavy reward. At least he could get lifelong tax exemption. Even if he retired in the future, he would not have to pay taxes (during his service as a soldier, he would not have to pay taxes. But if he did not have to make meritorious service, he would have to pay taxes after retirement when he was old)
