"Yang Baihu, we have ten villages and one small town here." Hu Baihu said.
"The total number of households is 300, with a total population of 1,843. There are 321 adults. There are currently 43 soldiers."
Yang Fan's face looked a little ugly. The soldier's gap reached 60-70%, and this place was weird enough.
Seeing Yang Fan's unswerving expression, Hu Qianhu said cautiously: "We do go too far here, and more people escape, but generally other guards do not exceed half."
"The superiors won't come down to check, there are so many people missing," Yang Fan said uneasily.
"Normally, there is a liquidation at the end of every year, but you know this kind of thing, haha," Hu Baihu said haha.
"How to make up for the general shortfall?" Yang Fan was worried and continued to ask.
"There are generally two methods. One is called root replenishment, which is to capture the fleeing soldiers and reorganize them into the team."
Yang Fanxin said, this method is like saying nothing. God knows where these people escaped to and where they were captured. They didn't escape in a day, maybe they have been running for ten years. They don't know whether they are dead or alive. Just catch them.
.
"What about the other one?" Yang Fan continued to ask.
"The other method is called goubu, which is to ask the family of the deserted soldier to provide a strong man to make up for it. If the family does not have a strong man, it will be supplemented by other military households who have not served." Hu Baihu continued.
Yang Fan pondered, thinking with his buttocks, he knew that no one would be willing to make up for it. It would probably be difficult to deal with, otherwise all the health centers in Zunhua have maintained half of their vacancies for so many years.
"How is the situation in the military fields? How many grains do we have to pay for the fields in a year? Is there any shortfall?" Yang Fan asked after him. This matter must be clarified and don't make a big mistake.
"You have to ask about this. We have a lot of land. We have more than 300 households and a total of 130,000 acres of land. There is not enough land for farming," Hu Baihu said excitedly.
Yang Fan pouted. He had seen it when he came here. It was all dry land. There was no water, so he had to rely on rain.
The ground was also covered with stones. There were simply more stones than soil.
It is also a saline-alkali land, and the grass is almost dead.
"Actually, there are still 3,000 acres of good land. There are 1,000 acres of paddy fields here in Xiaguan, and another 2,000 acres of irrigated land belong to other officers. But according to custom, this can be transferred to you, that is, hehe."
Yang Fan understood as soon as he heard that the good land had been occupied by military officers. He could inherit the land from his predecessor, but he had to pay compensation.
I don’t even know the price of this thing.
Xiao Niangpi glanced sideways at Hu Baihu and said, "Give me a favor, five hundred taels."
Hu Baihu looked like he was in pain.
"Before the handover, have you made up for the shortfall?" Xiao Niangpi said: "If Yang Baihu takes over the shortfall, you can feel free to go to Huai'an to take up the post."
Hu Baihu rolled his eyes and nodded in agreement.
If you deal with the shortfall yourself, it won't be considered a loss, otherwise even if you are transferred to Huai'an, it will be a problem.
Hu Baihu took Yang Fan through the town again, looking at the warehouses, weapons depots, etc. The two parties finally signed and signed the handover, and the handover was completed. Yang Fan paid five hundred-tael silver notes and got the land deed for a thousand acres of paddy fields.
.
Hu Baihu took his family and two soldiers, the groom and Mr. Qian Liang, and drove away in the carriage. This guy's belongings were enough to fit three carriages, which shows that he made a lot of money during his tenure.
After the officers took their leave, Tu Shanyue said to Yang Fan: "In order to be transferred, this old Hu embezzled and owed a lot. In addition, he had suffered losses in the past years before he took over. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of loads of grain, worth about 5,000 taels of silver. You
Don’t worry, I’ll maintain it for you here. As long as you don’t collect it, you’ll be fine. Just hold it off for as long as you can. Who knows when you won’t be here anymore. Then leave it to the next person.”
Yang Fan smiled bitterly, why did Mr. Tushan insist on getting a military household registration for himself?
It seemed strange at the time, and afterwards I felt it was unnecessary and illogical.
It turned out that I was waiting here.
Master Tushan and Xiao Niangpi took Fatty Hu's money and arranged for Fatty Hu to go to the south to get promoted.
Didn’t Fatty Hu’s money come from shortchanging the public account?
In this shitty place, other than getting money from some unlucky military households and material reserves, where else can we get money from.
It is estimated that at least 4,000 taels of the five thousand taels were collected by Xiao Niangpi and her father.
If a hundred households have a deficit of several hundred taels, it is considered a lot, right?
Fatty Hu knew what he was doing, so he transferred it himself. Someone would take over the shortfall, so the paddy fields were half sold and half given away.
In this way, Xiao Niangpi and Master Tushan are satisfied.
Satisfied myself.
He settled his accounts, had no future troubles, and went to Huai'an to enjoy his life with peace of mind.
Besides, for such a large loss, the successor must find someone of his own to hide the matter.
If the successor is not one of his own, he may even be hostile.
They will dig you out, can you withstand their digging?
Master Tushan really has a comprehensive plan, take one step at a time and see the next three steps. It is a good method.
Do you still have a choice?
If nothing else, I just said that I saw all of my little girl’s skin yesterday, how could I have the nerve to dismantle her?
After Yang Fan figured out the cause and effect, he didn't hesitate and said directly: "I will take care of this matter."
The little girl glanced at him charmingly.
This guy is always so knowledgeable and on the road.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Xiao Niangpi winked. "I will protect you. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, I will fix him."
Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue did not go back that night. They gathered all the military households, bought ten sheep, cooked sheep soup, and took out flour pancakes from the warehouse. All the military households and their families had a feast.
This is also customary.
When a new chief arrives, it is always necessary to indicate it. As for how to squeeze him in the future, that is of course also the norm.
Village elders and military officers from ten villages accompanied Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue to drink.
Tu Shanyue obviously sneered at this wine. He had obviously drank Moutai, and no matter how good the wine was in this era, he would not drink it anymore.
"Village elders, I wonder why our village has a large piece of flat land along the Luanhe River. Why has it not been developed?"
"Sir, our rocky beach has the most land among the ten hundred households. But it's all saline-alkali land, and it's just rocks."
"Yes, although it is close to the Luanhe River, the Luanhe River is famous for its large water, but it cannot be used."
"The flood season is here, the Luanhe River has risen wildly, and the area has been flooded. No matter how many crops are planted, they are all white.
After the flood season, the water level is low and water cannot be diverted for irrigation. There are many rocks and it is worse than the worst dry land. You can’t even get back the money for the seeds.”
Yang Fan understood in his heart, I said why such a large piece of flat land is not used, it turns out that is the case.
Will flooding cause the land to become salinized? I asked why there are so many pebbles. It turns out they were washed away by flash floods.
If this land were developed, it would be four to five million acres. It would be a pity to leave it like this.
"Bring me the map," Yang Fan said.
The two general flags, one named Wang Dali and the other Zhang Wuge, immediately spread the map on the ground.
He held a lamp to illuminate Yang Fan. The more Yang Fan looked at the map, the more familiar he felt.
There is clearly a large reservoir here in later generations, which seems to be called Yuqiao Reservoir. It is the water source of Tianjin City.
