Chapter 117: The Sprout

At this point, the goods entering and leaving Shanhaiguan in Kaiyuan were unobstructed. Yuan Yingtai, Ma Lin and Zhou Yongchun had a rare tacit understanding and quietly divided the Li family's industries in Liaodong. Since then, Kaiyuan's fur goods are popular in the capital and have made great profits.

Ma Lin was so surprised that he couldn't speak. This was naturally the credit of Governor Zhou. When Governor Zhou looked at him, there were countless business businesses. The powerful people in the capital were cursing for him, and they were afraid that they would be slow to curry favor.

Governor Zhou was naturally still calm, but there were more and more maids in the family, and there were more and more Tang and Song dynasties in the study.

As autumn begins, the weather turns cooler.

On this day, Ma Cheng and his father flipped through the account book in the study, looking at each other speechlessly. In one month, the company distributed 120,000 taels of dividends, of which 40,000 taels were distributed to the Ma father and son, and the other 80,000 taels were agreed by the company.

The cost of raising the army is 80,000 taels of silver per month, which is enough to spend more than the army. Even Ding Wenchao, the captain of the personal army, received a bonus of 500 taels. Ma Guozhong had to pay more, and he received 3,000 taels.

Marin stayed for a long time before his eyes burned, "Recruiting troops, expanding troops!"

But Ma Cheng tactfully advised: "Father, it's a disarmament."

Ma Lin was stunned for a while and nodded, "Okay, cut off first and then recruit. It's time to rectify the troops in Kaiyuan. Be cautious and don't mess with your own way."

Ma Cheng smiled and said, "Don't worry, your soldier is more expensive than your strength."

Malin collected the account book and finally said resolutely: "You will take care of this military affairs in the future."

Ma Cheng replied: "I understand, father."

It is naturally excellent for my father to delegate power. He is obviously the Admiral Ma and knows that military affairs are not his strengths. In terms of war skills, he is not as good as his son, so he delegates power.

After receiving the military order, Ma Cheng began to rectify the original troops and horses, starting from the Liaohai Sea, 30,000 two guards. The commanders and commanders of the two guards of the two guards were numerous, but they were commanded by the commander and commander.

There are more than 300 households with more than 100 households, half of which are idle people who are on duty. They discussed with Gao Zhen and Yu Hualong. Although the two commanders looked unhappy, they also knew the importance of the

So he acquiesced.

Ma Cheng was unwilling to cut off other people's life. He first gave a severance fee, and then transferred these people to Jizhen, and still had a meal in the garrison army.

Even though they are not satisfied, they can only do this. At the very least, they can get enough food and clothing. Without these redundant officials who drink blood, they will pay the owed wages in the garrison on a monthly basis. As for the military households in each military farm fort, there are not many of them running away.

The soldiers who had cleared the guards returned to the fort to farm, and they were qualified farmers after taking off their military uniforms.

Kaiyuan wanted to maintain the army, build the city, and prepare the army, but he was unable to take care of these military households and could only barely maintain it.

The two Dawei soldiers were disbanded, and the elite troops were only 3,000. The deterioration of the military system of the guard was shocking.

The elite troops of the Three Thousand Guards were organized into six battalions, and they were all handed over to Gao Zhen to guard Guangshun Pass. His father-in-law Yu Hualong became a role similar to a staff member. His father-in-law was not dissatisfied with him, so the Yu family was

Only Yu Fengjun has only one only daughter. His daughter married Ruyi Guru, so Mr. Yu had nothing to ask for.

It took half a month to disband the two Davids, making Ma Cheng very worried.

After that, it was the turn of the generals. The generals of Kaiyuan raised not many servants, and the most were only more than a hundred. With the nourishment of the dividends of the merchants, they quickly handed over them and formed a team of cavalry camps.

.The last thing that is difficult to deal with is the armed forces of the wealthy and prominent families in Kaiyuan. Most of the more than ten major families are closely related to the Li family in Tieling, and their territory is mostly distributed between Kaiyuan and Tieling.

The characteristics of these families are that the whole nation is a soldier. Most of the elders in the family are generals of Li Chengliang's army. The younger generations practice martial arts and form a castle. They are also a scattered sand that cannot be formed. These people and horse cities are never dared to use them, and they cannot ignore them.

Because these wealthy families occupied most of the cultivated land in Kaiyuan, the most difficult one was the Li family in Tieling, which could not be beaten or scolded, but the Li family worshipped the tomb of Li Chengliang.

Although Li's family in Tieling had lost power and Li Ruzhen was imprisoned and waited for death, he could never do the task of digging people's ancestral graves.

Macheng took people out for a walk, and the scene wherever he went was shocking. After the drought, the powerful men of Kaiyuan and Tieling were all big and small. Even the Li family relied on their wealth and grain to buy a large amount of arable land.

All seven or eight fertile land was concentrated in the hands of powerful people of all sizes, and land annexation had reached a very terrifying level. Farmers with land at home were almost extinct in the Tieling area.

The local tyrants and land annexation made the Ming Dynasty terminally ill.

Ma Cheng knew that it could not solve the land problem, and the Ming Dynasty's rejuvenation was ultimately a mirage.

Even the Ma family is taking advantage of the drought to buy arable land, and the price is extremely cheap. Several concubines and uncles in the family are involved.

Late at night, the General Admiral.

Ma Cheng was unwilling to give up after all, recalling the methods of solving land annexation problems in ancient and modern times, and hoping to find a suitable way out. A delicate hand put a bowl of sour plum soup on the table. Ma Cheng only heard the sound of footsteps and knew

It was the fairy who came, and she suspected that it was already the third day of the day. She went to bed early on weekdays, so how could she come to the study to please her?

Looking at the pretty face that never gets tired of watching, he asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Bai Qinghua couldn't hide the trouble in his heart and said with a blushing face: "My mother's family has come."

Ma Cheng was relieved. Now Bai Qinghua is the concubine of Mr. Ma Wu, and his status is precious. Naturally, his family members come to the door to get along.

He carried her over and crossed her legs and said softly: "You know I love you, go to the accounting room and get some money and hand it over to your house."

Bai Qinghua was quite moved, but said embarrassedly: "My family is not short of money. It was because my father took a fancy to some paddy fields and couldn't compete with them to ask you."

Ma Cheng was speechless. In the Ming Dynasty, the small peasant thoughts have been deeply rooted for thousands of years. Kaiyuan and Tieling were just stable, so many landlords and gentry were rushing to enclose land. The small peasant economy is simply an unsolvable knot. Thinking of the circle, the circle is just a dead end.

With the word "di", Macheng suddenly froze. He suddenly thought of the British land enclosure movement where sheep cannibalize people. How did Britain embark on the path of capitalism? Isn't it because of the land enclosure movement that destroyed the small peasant economy?

A sudden lightning flashed through my mind. Kaiyuan at this moment was very similar to Britain after the enclosure movement. The British was because of the enclosure movement, Kaiyuan was because of war and drought, but the result was the same. The cultivated land was concentrated in a large number of people.

In fact, Kaiyuan and even the small peasant economic system in the entire Liaodong has been completely destroyed.

In fact, the more than 100,000 people who were building a city in Kaiyuan were in the same miserable situation as the farmers after enclosing land in the UK. They were all bankrupt farmers who lost their arable land. Their minds gradually became clear. Bankrupt farmers and free labor. Isn’t this just
