"The officials and others welcome the angels. The inn has been prepared. Please invite the three angels to take a break..."

Outside Nanpi New Town, where the New District of Cangzhou is located, on the official road beside the official pavilion, a group of local Cangzhou officials with neat clothes, plus a magistrate Wang Fu who came from Tianjin Prefecture, were welcoming the three envoys who got off the carriage. On this occasion, Ji Yi, Wu Haowen, and Yang Jian were all wearing official uniforms. In particular, Ji Yi and Wu Haowen, two highly anticipated civil officials, both looked graceful and nodded slightly to show their respects.

This Nanpi New City is not unfamiliar to Wu Haowen. It was built by him when he was the commander of the Hailu Market and the governor of Cangzhou. At that time, it was a project that was very optimistic in all aspects. The market outside the county town (also the new county town of Nanpi) sold a lot of land that could be built after the land was enclosed. However, it happened that it was a war, and the result was a lot of unfinished buildings, which made people sigh.

The walls of Nanpi New City are different from those when Wu Haowen left. The rammed earth wall was covered with red bricks, and the horse face and the fallen tiger were built, and the trench was widened and deepened. It is estimated that it has been spent on a lot of people's wealth and cream from Cangzhou... Speaking of which, it is all Wu Haogu's fault!

Wu Haowen took his eyes back from Cangzhou City, and then said to Wang Boyan, the official in Cangzhou who came to greet him, "Brother Yanjun, brother Yizhi and I, and Mr. Yang, were exhausted all the way, and I wanted to rest early."

"The inn has been prepared, and the banquet for the three angels is also ready."

Wang Boyan was a 40-year-old uncle, and he was much better than martial arts than martial arts. However, he was a Jinshi, and only three years after Jianzhong Jingguo. Therefore, his qualifications in the officialdom were even lower than martial arts and literary arts, and his official fortune was even worse. When Wu Haowen was the governor of Cangzhou last time, he was the magistrate of Cangzhou. After Wu Haowen left, Quan took the State Council, so he was not the turn of the State Council to become a regular. But when the Liao Kingdom invaded, no one wanted to be an official in Cangzhou, so Wang Boyan Quan sent him to the State Council.

"Brother Ming, Zhang Qian, you two come together." Wu Haowen then called out the names of Wang Fu and Zhang Yong, the chief of the Cangzhou military commander, and called them together to the inn in Nanpi City.

...

"Brother Jiang Ming, Zhang Qian, what is the situation in Tianjin Prefecture? What is my elder brother busy with?"

The inns in Nanpi City were also newly built. Not only were the houses new and beautiful, but the staffing of the inns were very sufficient, with a postmaster and fifteen or sixteen postmasters. When Ji Yi, Wu Haowen and others arrived, they had already cleaned up and prepared the banquet and conversation room. The officials who accompanied the wine were not prepared. What kind of officials are Ji Yi and Wu Haowen? Ordinary rouge vulgaris are not favored at all, and their own family tricks are all beautiful. As for Yang Jian, he was a bad eunuch, and he was upset when he looked at those rouge vulgaris.

Just in the clean room where the conversation was about, after the tea was placed, Wu Haowen asked about Wu Haogu’s recent situation.

Hearing Wu Haowen’s question, Wang Fu pondered for a moment and replied respectfully: “Wu Jieshuai has been busy presiding over the days of presiding over the land division affairs in Wuqing County and Yanshan Prefecture in Tianjin Prefecture.”

"What? Divide land and land?" Ji Yi was stunned, "Who will it be given to?"

"Distribute to the soldiers who follow him," replied the military officer in his fifties named Zhang Yong, "The knights are all 1,500 acres of land, and the infantry soldiers are given 200 acres. The auxiliary soldiers are willing to stay and can be promoted to the army after training. Before the army is promoted, they will also place their families for 100 acres. In addition, officers at all levels have additional fields to be granted, and the most are said to have obtained 100,000 acres!"

"I gave so much?" Wu Haowen was surprised, "How much land can be granted in Yan land?"

"There is still one Yizhou in the hands of the Khitans in Yan. The remaining one is the eight prefectures. Eight prefectures have been divided into eight prefectures. Wu Jieshuai only left the land that originally belonged to Xijin prefecture." Zhang Yong has been working as a military officer in Hebei for generations and is very familiar with the situation in Yan land. "It is estimated that there are always 15 million to 20 million acres?"

Although Yan land has a land of Jiuzhou, this prefecture is particularly large, including Wuqing County, which is now allocated to Tianjin Prefecture, with 2,000 acres of arable land and pasture land.

"Then there are not many knights and soldiers who can divide it?" Yang Jian asked, "The land of the knights and soldiers is not taxed, so they are all divided. What is he, the king of Peking?"

Ji Yi laughed, "He must have heard that the court was going to refute his favor, so he took the initiative to divide the land in his hands and invited people to buy people's hearts.

As for him, the King of Peking, haha, aren’t there two cash cows, the Tianjin Hehailu Maritime Control Department?”

Yang Jian smiled and said, "The official has already granted the Hailu Maritime Manufacturing Department to Ji Longtu (Ji Yi is a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion), and now there is only one Tianjin city left! It seems that the King of Peking is going to shoot himself in the foot this time."

"It's not that easy!" Ji Yi shook her head, "Among the six maritime companies in Jiehe, Jingdong, Mingzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and Sanfoqi, the most profitable one is Sanfoqi maritime companies!

There is a place where there is no kingly law…”

The only one who can make people like Ji Yi is moved is the Sanfoqi Maritime Ware! Because the Jiehe Maritime Ware Controls four major businesses, namely the North Grain and South Transport, the North Wood and South Transport, the Imperial Medicine Purchase and the Imperial Horse Purchase, can only earn two or three million yuan a year. The Sanfoqi Maritime Ware can easily scrape twice the amount of money! Therefore, as long as Wu Haogu controls the Sanfoqi Maritime Ware, he will not have to worry about not having money.

Wu Haowen asked: "So, the key to controlling the Yanshan vassal state is the Sanfoqi Maritime Warehouse? Can it be taken down?"

Ji Yi smiled, "You can always take it off, but it takes a little effort!"

Ji Yi was not sure if he had some effort or a lot of effort. But he believed that his methods could still be taken over by the Sanfoqi Maritime Affairs.

After all, the Three Buddhas and Shiboshi is too far from Yan land, and it is beyond the reach of Wu Haogu.

Although Wu Haogu controls a large-scale navy in his hands, the foundation of the navy is Haizhou Naval Academy, not Tianjin Knights College.

Moreover, the Ji family also has a share in the fleet of the Hailu Maritime Control Division and has a great influence in the Sanfoqi Maritime Control Division. It can still compete with Wu Haogu!

Besides, Wu Haogu is now under the enemy from both sides and has to face pressure from the Khitan and the Song Dynasty at the same time. How can he have the energy to develop the navy? The navy is a gold-swalking beast!

To maintain a 7,000-stone warship, the personnel expenses alone will cost tens of thousands of yuan a year. Maintaining the size of a fleet of 100 ships will be gone in a few million.

Wu Haogu can only control the Jiehe Maritime Bureau in his hands. How could he maintain such a large-scale navy?

It's simply impossible!

However, Ji Yi would not be stupid enough to start a war with Wu Haogu. If you put some pressure on such things, then you will conduct some private transactions, such as allowing Wu Haogu to continue to make profits from "north grain transport, north wood transport, imperial medicine purchasing and imperial horse purchasing" activities...

...

"Xiao Di thanks the king for giving the land. The king is kind to you. Xiao Di should repay you with death!"

Another infantry soldier from Wu Haogu's army who had lost his luck, was so grateful that he took the land deed of 200 acres of dry land in Yutian County from Wu Haogu.

In fact, the 200 acres of dry land in the swallow land cannot harvest too much, and it will cost 400 stones of wheat to death, and maybe a little vegetables, so what else can I raise. If you count the cost, you may not be able to make a profit of 100 yuan a year, which is based on tax exemption.

But profit is one thing, while eating and drinking for a family is another thing. Four hundred stones of wheat alone is more than 20,000 kilograms! It is impossible to eat it, and it is enough to use it to raise various animals and slaughter meat. This day is really amazing for ordinary farmers.

"Nanpi Zhang Erdan!" Wu Haogu smiled and said to the black and thick crossbowman in front of him, "These 200 acres of land are your vocational land and cannot be divided into inheritance for your son. Only one son can inherit all the land. And the inheritor must serve as you, do you know?"

"I know, Xiaodi knows!" Zhang Erdan said loudly with tears in her eyes, "The king is Xiaodi's benefactor, and all his descendants are fighting for the king's family!"

Whether it is a farm granted to a knight or a farm granted to an infantry, it is of course land and cannot be bought or sold, but it can be inherited, but it cannot be inherited in the property, and the heir must fulfill the corresponding obligations.

However, the larger military field allowed for inheritance of property. However, the minimum amount of property is 1,500 acres. In other words, it is a knight manor. The heirs must also fulfill their obligations and act as knights.

In addition, middle and senior officers who have received more land-giving must also fulfill their "knight obligations" in addition to serving themselves (up to two-thirds, at least one-third of the land must be raised), that is, let the children of the clan act as knights or be admitted to Knight Primary School and Knight Academy.

"Next!"

Zhang Erdan went happily with the land deed. From now on, he had left the ranks of poor and lower-middle peasants and officially became a feudal landlord.

The land that Wu Haogu would like to personally grant today is still as much as 20,000 acres!

He was very concerned about the issue of field teaching. Because this work was so important, only if it was done well could his army become a solid war machine.

Of course, teaching land is just the beginning. After teaching land, there is a roadmap for upgrading military merits waiting for everyone to go!

According to the "military meritorious title" system designed by Zhao Jiaren for Wu Haogu, there is no such thing as land purchase and sale in Yandi villages now. If you want farmland and pasture, you can only join the army to fight!

No matter how big the capitalist is, he can only buy houses and land in commercial cities such as Tianjin and Yanshan (Yanshan Commercial City, which will be established soon, that is, Xijinfu City and its surrounding areas). To be a big landlord, he has to join the army and make contributions.
