In the next three months, Yang Feng has been building on his reclaimed land.
The prefect of Yongning came here once.
But it was just a symbolic turn.
But Yang Feng paid taxes.
It is not a tax on land reclamation. Even without Zhu Yuanzhang's special purpose, land reclamation in Liaodong is completely tax-free. In fact, not only is it tax-free, but the government also provides cattle seeds and rations and agricultural tools. What Yang Feng pays is the Ding tax for these land reclamation team members, which is
The poll tax was paid by him on his behalf, and he only gave a sum of money according to the total number of taxes...
In fact, this is Huining Mansion’s only current financial revenue.
Nothing else.
Officials are suffering!
By August, everyone was here.
The cattle have also arrived.
Iron smelting factories were also established.
There is also a cement factory.
…
Of course, it is said to be a factory, but it is actually just a small workshop.
But everything has taken shape.
Along the Mangniu River from upstream to downstream, there are a total of 5,000 people divided into 20 production teams. There are also five factories based on mines and two charcoal fields for logging and burning charcoal. At this time, it is not practical to use coal.
Although there are coal mines in Jiaohe, the initial engineering work involved in mining coal is too large.
Burning charcoal is easy.
After all, there is no shortage of trees here.
There are even rudimentary dams on several small rivers.
wooden.
Mainly used for fishing.
This is currently the main source of food for each team.
Not only on the Mangniu River, some teams even build their own boats and then enter the Lalin River to fish. Because they are all from the south, fishing is the easiest compared to hunting.
There are even some teams that simply start breeding by the river...
It's just a wooden fence, and then some uneaten fish are thrown into it.
It can be said that in just three months, this wild land has become a field of hope, with abundant food sources, making everyone feel like they are in a paradise.
Even hospitals and literacy classes were set up.
Every team has one.
Moreover, each team has built a fence, which is actually made of wood. This also prevents wild animals from entering at night. The circular wooden fences protect the cabins inside, and each cabin has a fire pit. For this reason, Yang Feng also
He built a brick kiln, and among his hired workers were various craftsmen. Then each cabin was piled with wood for the winter, and he looked at a rural scene in the Northeast winter. Even the fodder for the livestock for the winter was prepared, and Yang Feng also paid for it.
Specifically looking for tutors from among the Wus, the latter also got the ones they liked. In fact, these Wus quickly became harmonious with the reclamation team.
There are craftsmen here.
They can exchange whatever they need with these teams.
The field team also needs them to impart experience.
Even these Wu Zhe villages simply moved to nearby places, and other Wu Zhe villages also came to exchange. For a time, everyone was happy and harmonious everywhere...
The main thing is that you can't steal it.
If they could be robbed, they would definitely not be like this.
But since it is Yang Feng's property, I don't dare to do so. Since it can't be robbed, of course it must be exchanged harmoniously.
Yang Feng did not leave the reclamation land until the beginning of September and went to Xiguancheng. He was still traveling with Zhang Dingbian. When the latter arrived here, he threw Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict aside. He was indeed going to Jinghaiwei to preside over Yongning Temple, but
On the one hand, Yongning Temple has not yet been repaired, and on the other hand, the person in charge of this matter is Zhu Zhi, who doesn't care about him at all. His Royal Highness the King of Liao has been busy reclaiming wasteland with Yang Feng.
To be precise, it is learning.
This ability to build everything from nothing is extremely valuable.
He even put his real job aside.
He succeeded Zhu Di and took charge of Huining City, where he controlled the tribes under the command of the envoys in Huining.
but……
Yang Feng is here, who dares to cause trouble if he doesn't care about life and death?
No need to worry about it at all.
After the three of them arrived in Huining, Zhu Zhi stayed and Yang Feng continued to take a boat downstream and landed at the mouth of Mudanjiang River. An acropolis has been built here, and it is not Jisiwei, but like Dongningwei.
There are thousands of Han households, and there are many guards for each thousand households of Wu, and their names are called Five Kingdoms Guards.
It was given by Yang Feng at the beginning.
Let’s commemorate Song Huizong and his son who became demons.
Obviously Zhu Yuanzhang himself appreciated his bad taste very much, and then he actually named him Wu Guowei.
After landing, we followed the Mudan River all the way to Xiguan City. There were guards along the way, but these guards had to maintain the post road.
this point is very important.
Zhu Yuanzhang's requirement for these restrained tribes was that they must maintain the post roads.
Including those toasts in Yunnan and Guizhou.
However, Jiduwei is a military household, so they don't have to pay taxes. They only pay tribute regularly. The chieftains have to pay taxes. In the Ming Dynasty, all the chieftains paid taxes. The tax system was inclusive. How much did they pay in total every year? In the late Ming Dynasty, the chieftains did not pay taxes.
I can collect it. But there is tax, but the local officials dare not go to the chieftain to collect it. At this time, they pay the tax honestly. Not only do they pay the tax, but they also make various contributions.
But I have to admit that Zhu Di is very capable in managing these guys.
Only two years.
The rule of the Ming Dynasty has already been consolidated.
There are even three post roads, from Kaiyuan to Jilin City to Huining and then to Jinghaiwei, from Wuguowei to Longquanfu, and from Jilin City to Chongjin. The three post roads connect a large number of Jiduwei in series.
Really achieve domination.
All tribes respected King Yan.
However, after he completed this, he was kicked to the beach by Zhu Yuanzhang, waiting to conquer the Japanese country again, and everything he built was left to his fifteenth brother. I have to say that this tool man felt really depressed.
Poor Zhu Di must be looking up to the sky and sighing...
Dad, don’t you love me anymore?
Early winter.
Xiguancheng.
In other words, Longquan Fucheng of the Ming Dynasty.
Military and civilian government.
Like the Huining Military and Civilian Mansion, it is also a floating official. In addition, there is Longquan Guard, which is also a prefecture and acropolis. To be precise, Longquan Acropolis was built separately next to the original Xiguan City. As for Aha Chu, he has been appointed as Dongning Xuanwei.
The envoy was given the surname Wei and the name Wei Jinzhong. This was of course proposed by Yang Feng. In short, he is now Wei Jinzhong, the envoy of the Xuanwei Department of Dongning in the Ming Dynasty. The area under his jurisdiction is the area around Changbai Mountain, including the north of the Great Wall of Korea.
Those Wudiha and Xuanwei Sicheng were the original Nanjing cities of Pu Xianwannu, and then his sons, the Wudiha chiefs, were also appointed as chiefs of several nearby hereditary chiefs.
So they became hereditary chieftains.
This is completely different from those of the commanders of the Guards.
Dongning Xuanweisi and Longquan Mansion happened to separate North Korea from those tribes collectively known as Jurchens in the past.
But now it is no longer called Jurchen.
Wudiha, Huligai, Kuwu, Wuzhe, etc. are directly distinguished. Wuzhe and Wudiha actually mean the same thing, but they are now separated.
Zhu Di's commander-in-chief is in Longquan Guards City. As for the commander of Longquan Guards, it is Zhang Fu. There is also a Han Qianhu here, and then he brings four Wudiha Qianhu. The Han Qianhu is what Zhang Fu brought before.
Those original guards of the King of Yan, including Zhang Fu, were transferred from the Guard of the King of Yan.
"Ha, you have to thank me. You are now more senior than my father."
Yang Feng looked at the melancholy Zhang Fu.
Indeed, his father was the one in charge, and he had already taken charge.
"thank you!"
Zhang Fu said angrily.
"My brother, you don't have to be polite."
Yang Feng said.
"Brother, he is a good brother. He kidnapped my sister and tricked me into this hellish place. He is indeed a good brother!"
Zhang Fu said angrily.
But he was just being hypocritical. In fact, he was very happy as a commander. The main reason was that he controlled trade with surrounding tribes in Xiguan City. Moreover, because the sky was high here and the emperor was far away, no one in the court cared about it. This guy secretly made salt...
Of course, everyone knows that salt is produced secretly.
What else?
Give him sea salt?
Besides, the salt he made was sold to those tribes, and it did not affect the salt policy of the Ming Dynasty. His salt could not be sold to other places, so even if Zhu Yuanzhang knew about it, he pretended not to know. In fact, sea salt should have been produced here in ancient times, because the Liao Kingdom
At that time, Luzhou produced sea salt, and Luzhou Prefecture was located in Baishan, which was not close to the sea. The nearest coast was here. Although the climate here is definitely not suitable for drying salt, there is enough fuel here, and the sea water is not suitable for cooking.
The more you cook it, the better it will be.
In short, Zhang Fu should have made a small fortune here.
But the couple separated...
Phew, does he want any flavor?
If you like gentle and sweet people, go to Li Chenggui and ask for Korean beauties. If you like wild and hot girls, Wudiha will be around waiting to offer him girls.
Even if the taste is stronger, there are still hairy people on the kuwu side.
A ghost place?
He should be happy rather than thinking about Shu.
"This is pure slander. I didn't abduct your sister. She escorted Princess Hanshan back to the capital. His Majesty felt that she had merit, so he made her a female official and protected Princess Hanshan. She is a female historian, a serious female official, and she doesn't need to
In the palace, how many people in the palace are envious!
Also, we are innocent.
Pure and innocent!
I can say this with a clear conscience."
Yang Feng said with a smile.
Then he patted his so-called conscience as if solemnly.
Pure and pure.
She is indeed innocent. The key is that she has tried several times but failed. She is a female official. Although she is not in the palace, she is still a palace official in essence. She is not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang's wrath, but she is still afraid! Although a palace official is indeed not a palace maid.
, not to mention concubines, but in terms of the system, people are not allowed to marry casually, and even leaving the palace are strictly restricted.
Zhang Ying is different. She was a palace official granted by the emperor, and then specially given to Princess Hanshan as a female historian.
In theory, it's like a secretary.
So wherever Princess Hanshan goes, she can go.
At this moment, several generals guarding King Yan walked out behind Zhang Fu. The leader was Tan Yuan. He glanced at Yang Feng silently, then raised his head and walked over as if he hadn't seen it...
"This guy won't be beaten stupid by me, will he?"
Yang Feng said doubtfully.
Tan Yuan suddenly turned his head.
"Your Majesty was just taking advantage of someone's unpreparedness!"
He shouted in anger.
Yang Feng appeared in front of him in an instant. He was caught off guard and instinctively drew his sword. However, Yang Feng, who was already close to him, gave him a push with his chest. Tan Yuan took two steps back. But before he could stand firm, Yang Feng
Feng came to him again at a very fast speed, and then hit him again. Tan Yuan fell back again, and then Yang Feng came to him again and hit him forward again. Tan Yuan, who retreated one after another, was finally tripped by a stone behind him.
.
"It's really a fool's errand!"
Yang Feng said.
Then he looked at a few others.
The guys headed by Zhu Neng also looked at him with hostile eyes.
"I don't understand why you think I tricked you?
What are you going to do now?
Conquer Japan!
Why conquer Japan?
Because the Japanese country has what the Ming Dynasty needs. The Japanese country has gold and silver. It has inexhaustible gold and silver. It can even be said that it is like a mountain of gold and silver. Why do you feel dissatisfied when you are about to set foot on the mountain of gold and silver? Don’t you?
Like gold and silver?”
he said.
"Ambassador, we are just following the king's orders."
Zhu Neng said.
"I understand, you just think that even if the Japanese are defeated, the gold and silver they pay as tribute will be given to Your Majesty.
Yes, indeed.
But, is it the end of winning?
Did you withdraw after winning the battle? Don’t you need someone to suppress the Japanese?"
Yang Feng said.
"Ambassador, we are the Yanshan guards."
Another general sneered.
So everyone went directly to the core issue.
What is the future of King Yan?
What you are saying is all nonsense. The key is whether King Yan can go back after defeating Japan. It has been two years. Everyone has been fighting with him for two years and there is no end in sight. You are standing and talking.
My back hurts!
You are living happily in the capital!
We lived in the ice and snow for two years!
Yang Feng smiled.
"So, you are actually not opposed to going to Japan?"
he said.
"Ambassador, I didn't say anything."
Zhu Neng said simply.
Therefore, these guard generals don't care about moving to the feudal state. They just don't want to continue to hang around like this, especially to continue to be tool men. After all, they are not from Peiping. They have just moved there for more than ten years. They don't want to change places anymore.
It's not that the emperor cannot accept it. As for Zhu Di's ambitions, at least for now, these guard generals have not had such thoughts.
But they don't want to leave things unresolved. They really don't care about fighting, but there are benefits to fighting.
Instead of being a tool person.
After nearly two years of eating ice and snow in Huining, an imperial edict was left to Zhu Zhi.
Now to conquer the Japanese country, does that mean that after fighting the war with all our strength, we have to give it to others? It is said that the Japanese country has gold and silver, but what is the use if they can’t get it? They have to see real benefits, but this is just for them
It's hard to say what Zhu Di thought. After all, moving to Japan meant bidding farewell to the Central Plains Dynasty.
In the future, at most he will be a vassal king, and then he will dominate the Japanese country.
but……
Who is the king among monkeys?
For an ambitious person like him, this is definitely difficult to understand. He would rather be the head of a chicken than the queen of an ox.
Being a vassal king in Peiping still has the hope of conquering the world, but what can you do if you are a vassal king in Japan?
In short, this was unacceptable to Zhu Di.
But the guard generals can barely do it.
Lao Zhu was very cunning, and he saw this clearly, so he pushed his son to the Japanese country step by step. He first made Huining suffer, and tortured the guards so much that they regarded the Japanese country as a good place, and then kicked them to the Japanese country.
, so that they can accept it, and if the guards accept it, of course Zhu Di can't do anything.
