Chapter five hundred and eighty first Zhu Biao farming
Shanyang County.
Hedong County is located in the far north, south of Yinshan Mountain, and is called "Yang".
It is located at the junction of mountainous areas and grasslands, thus forming a rare landform that contains both mountainous and grassland terrains within one county. To put it bluntly, there are many hills.
The mountains nearby and those in the distance are now all white.
On the twelfth day of the first lunar month, the lanterns have been put up in Peiping City, and the night is colorful, with trees, trees, silver and flowers complementing each other.
But Zhu Biao now accompanied his wife to Shanyang. After a tiring journey, Shan Yuping stayed at the county office to rest, while Zhu Biao came to the city alone.
Outside the north city wall, Zhu Biao looked at the vast wasteland below very carefully. There are three big rivers and countless small rivers in Hedong County. The natural water network has always been the most advantageous rope to trap the hoofs of horse horses. Therefore, the entire county has been in trouble for more than ten years.
I have never suffered any major disasters since I came to the hinterland.
However, the two border counties of Shanyang and Pingchuan in the north were fighting, fighting, and the people fled. Like Luozhou, they became uninhabited.
A slightly hoarse voice sounded not far away: "Wish you handsome!"
Zhu Biao
He turned around and saw a man in his late forties walking towards him following the guidance of the city wall sergeant. This man's face was a little dark, and he didn't look bookish at all. Instead, his whole body was very strong.
The clothes of a county magistrate were so full that they were bulging.
When the man came closer and saw Zhu Biao's appearance clearly, he was slightly stunned. Although everyone knew that Zhu Biao was young, but with his position and reputation reaching Zhu Biao's level, people had unconsciously ignored him.
age.
This person should be one of them. Seeing Zhu Biao's face with his own eyes, he was stunned. Then a smile appeared on the person's face and he walked forward faster, "Ma Yishan, Magistrate of Shanyang County, Xiaguan,
I’ve seen Zhu Shuai!”.
During this trip to Shanyang, Zhu Biao did not say hello to the county, but ordered him to go to the army.
At present, both Gao Xie and Zhu Zhong are stationed here. A small county magistrate, or a county magistrate with almost no people under his jurisdiction, Zhu Biao really can't think of Ma Yishan.
But now that they met for the first time, Zhu Biao suddenly became interested. This county magistrate reminded him of an old friend who passed away long ago. At that time, he had just been transferred from Yandong to Luozhou, and it was there that he met a magistrate in Huaiyuan who was also the same and not at all like the county magistrate.
The county magistrate...
"Magistrate Ma!" It was easy to see that this man had no foundation in internal strength. He had tight muscles that were the result of exercise.
Smiling and raising his hand, Zhu Biao looked at the burly man-like lord of the county in front of him, and suddenly lost the interest and thoughts to continue testing. A civil servant with such an appearance, think about it, can he make something different for himself?!
"I am here in Shanyang to prepare for reopening the countryside and harvesting acres of land after the snow melts in spring this year. What does Magistrate Ma think?"
His mind was buzzing and he was stunned. Ma Yishan's mind was completely blank. He couldn't think of what to say, and he didn't know how to express his inner emotions at this moment.
"How many years has Magistrate Ma served in Shanyang?"
"Xiaguan...Xiaguan has been serving in Shanyang for nine years and three months..." There was no emotion in his voice, and it seemed so hollow. Ma Yishan had not yet come to his senses at this moment.
Sure enough, there is no backstage! If there are officials with backstage and connections, who would stay in a rotten place like Shanyang for more than nine years?
Zhu Biao liked him even more in his heart. A small official with no backing meant Ma Yishan's "purity". Yes, pure.
This means that he can definitely take him under his command. If he wants to be a general in the army and take in a small official who has been 'forgotten' for nine years, isn't that easy? Nine years is three terms. Ma Yishan's heart
The head may have hated the officials to the core.
Zhu Biao didn't think it was impossible or difficult to gather such a person.
And this is not a waste. Just look at his body shape and you can tell that he has not lost any strength in nine years, and he can still train his body to look like this. It is very extraordinary, and his mind alone is very extraordinary.
This person can endure loneliness and suffering. He even said that he can find his own value in difficult situations.
If you look carefully at Ma Yishan's body shape, he has the body of a soldier!
Finally he regained his composure. Ma Yishan was filled with emotion and his eyes felt wet.
Since he was promoted to Shanyang County Magistrate nine years ago, he has done his best in this dangerous frontier area. Two years after taking office, the entire county was evacuated and turned into a military town, leaving only thousands of people in the county. He has also worked hard and never slackened off.
.
At the end of the three-year term, I stretched my neck and looked forward to the transfer of orders from the officials. After all, Shanyang County had become a military town and there was no need for a county magistrate. After one year of dealing with the aftermath, I also understood that there was no use for me here anymore.
The land of martial arts. But who knew that God would change his color overnight, and he would no longer be the magistrate of Shanyang County, but become the patrol officer of Shanyang Military Town, that is, the civil affairs officer of the military town. At that time, the whole
There are only less than 60 households and less than 300 people left in the county.
This work lasted for five years, five years wasted in Shanyang, in this white land where gradually no one had a white surname. I spent the whole day in the company of military men, and always struggled to survive under the swords and bows of Hu Qi.
The generals who guarded Shanyang all treated themselves as chief officers.
It was also the second year, the second year when he became the patrol commander. At that time, Hezhou mobilized troops to reinforce Luozhou, but Hu Qi and Di Qi took the opportunity to jointly attack. Shanyang City was once in danger under the attack of Hu Lu, and he was alone.
The scholar also picked up a sword and a crossbow. Once he picked it up, he could never put it down again.
Shanyang is a borderland, and even if it is 'safe', it is still a dangerous place. Who can say that it will always be safe? There is no guarantee that it will be breached by then. If you have a knife in your hand, you can at least resist one.
A year ago, the heavenly soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty took action against Chen State, and the crisis in Hedong was immediately alleviated. Before that, Hedong had sent another 50,000 troops to aid Luozhou. The continuous heavy blood loss made Hedong County
There were only less than 30,000 infantry and cavalry left in the entire army. Then Li Huizu's northern expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops ended with nearly the entire army being wiped out, leaving the entire Northern Han Dynasty in danger.
Shanyang City's garrison at its lowest was only two thousand men. Facing Hu Qi and Di Qi, who were as ferocious as the waves, they were like a broken fishing boat in the rough waves of the sea, and could be destroyed at any time.
At that time, Ma Yishan was ready to die at any time.
Fortunately, Shanyang Peak passed the most dangerous period. After the intervention of the heavenly soldiers, the entire Hedong County had a good year last year.
But what makes Ma Yishan heartbroken is that because of the good times of this year, his boss was changed from inspector to Shanyang County magistrate. To his current position, he has only completed a quarter of his three-year term.
During the Chinese New Year, he heard that a small number of wealthy families from several counties in the south of the county had returned home, but Ma Yishan no longer had any hope. He had been Bailihou for more than half a year without a single subject, and he was ready to continue.
Remaining term.
Shanyang is too close to Hu Qi and Di Qi. Even if the Hulu don't fight with the Han army, just the constant threshing ground is enough to make the people regard Shanyang as dead. This phenomenon even if Zhu Biao is in charge in Hedong, Ma Yishan
Don't think anything will change.
But now...what did my ears hear? Is this true?
"Magistrate Ma. How many acres of farmland are there in Shanyang? How many highlands and hills are there?"
Zhu Biao's question again woke up Ma Yishan. "Back to Zhu Shuai. There are 736,210 acres of total farmland in Shanyang, all of which are the best paddy fields. Ten acres of land can support a family."
, so although the number of acres in Shanyang is small, the population can reach 230,000 at its peak."
"Highlands and hills are scattered all over the territory, and there are countless them. Zhu Shuai must have seen them on his way to the county seat. But there are not too many soil hills, which can account for one or two dozen of the total."
"In the old days of Shanyang, did people cultivate terraced fields?"
"As far as I know, it has never happened before." Ma Yishan looked at Zhu Biao unexpectedly. Terraces? The entire people of Hezhou have probably never thought about it.
"Yes. Although I am conceited and not afraid of barbarian cavalry, I have few troops and horses in Hedong, and I am not enough to keep the enemy out of the country. This year, there is a shortage of money and food in Peiping. I hope that the imperial court will not be able to make up for the balance. Shanyang
It is unavoidable to open up fields, and if we only open up wasteland on flat land, it would be a pity if we were a little negligent during the hard work and were damaged by wild dogs." Zhu Biao said to Ma Yishan.
Why can't he stay in the comfortable General's Mansion and come to Shanyang in the cold weather? Then he will go to Pingchuan. That's because news came from Yu Shaoan and Zhu Ming in Peiping that this year the imperial court is likely to visit
Money and food are stuck on the road east of the river.
Zhu Biao wants to complete the nine infantry and cavalry battalions this year, and by the way, set up a heavy armored cavalry Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, as well as the Mo Dao Army that he has already started to establish in his "plan". The cost is not a small amount.
If we don't add some extra income, the expenses of the army this year alone will wipe out half of the Zhu family's wealth.
Zhu Biao is not afraid of spending money. What is money? What is money?
That's a turtle grandson, that's a bastard. Earn after you've spent it!
If the Northern Han Dynasty at this time was the Northern Han Dynasty when the whole government and the public were "raising funds", or it was like during the Anti-Japanese War, when the treasury was running away with rats, Zhu Biao's realm was not high, but he also knew how to destroy the family to relieve difficulties.
However, now that the imperial court is obviously rich, after Ji Yun and the King of Tang put on a pair of trousers, a little bit of scum in the hands of the King of Tang would be very beneficial to the Northern Han Dynasty. Zhu Biao did not believe that the King of Tang would not give any benefits to his new younger brother.
Therefore, in this case, Zhu Biao felt distressed by investing his own money in the imperial army.
No matter how deep his influence is in this imperial army, it belongs to the imperial court after all, and belongs to Ji Yun. This Hedong County is not Zhu Biao's private army, just like the Yue Family Army, whose name is 'Yue', but it is not Zhu Biao's private army.
He is not a true warlord who only knows Yue Fei but does not know the Song Dynasty. Yue Fei is not a warlord, and Zhu Biao does not want to be a warlord.
So for such an army, you can invest hundreds of thousands, but if you invest millions, Zhu Biao will really feel sorry for him.
Naturally, it is impossible for the land in Shanyang and Pingchuan counties to make up for all of Zhu Biao's losses this year. This is only a part.
Using horses to plow the land, or even using military camps, the two counties could produce a net output of three and a half million dans of grain in a year. Subsidy for military supplies is a must. The remainder should not be sold to Chen Guo, who was short of grain, and sold to the Northern Han Dynasty. This country is also a benefit...
What's more, the seeds planted in the ground are different. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!)
