On the east and west sides of Bangjong-eup, in addition to ditches, there are roads parallel to the ditches. The dirt roads are not compacted tightly, but they can barely be seen as roads because the ground is higher than the land on the north and south sides.
Li Jie and his party mainly rode horses. Only Li Jie himself was too heavy for ordinary horses to carry, so he had to drive.
Being in the car made it easier for Li Jie to inspect the land conditions in Fangzhongyi.
"This dirt road also needs to be renovated. Which road were the students supervising before?"
"It's the one going to Shenyi. We organized two thousand people and borrowed the power of boats to build it for forty miles. From Fangzhongyi to the west, you can see it after passing through Zhongxize."
"There is no landfill in Zhongxize?"
"Store water."
"Um."
In the car, Li Jie nodded and continued to observe the extension of the road with his binoculars.
"Already have a guard booth set up?"
"There is a post for five miles, and a pavilion for ten miles."
"How many people can be controlled?"
"A group of posts can control the settlements within ten miles. The barbarians and savages are all obedient and obedient now, and there is no sign of restlessness."
"Are there any guards in the post?"
"No, the boundaries have been confirmed."
The crocodile man who answered pointed in one direction, "Shou Li, please look. The ditch with willow branches in front is the boundary between the two nearby sentry booths. With this as the boundary, each sub-area is based on the land disputes of nearby settlements.
The situation was divided only after careful consideration."
"Ah, very good!"
The posts are organized, but they are all filled by injured and retired crocodiles and brave men. Although they are disabled, due to their high salary, one booth leader can support at least two teams of followers.
With the Crocodile Man and Yongfu's prestige on the ground, coupled with the obedience of the two teams, it was enough to intimidate the local indigenous people.
The settlements of barbarians and savages are not large in the Jianghuai area. They are scattered and densely packed. They fight against each other, which is enough for the pavilion chiefs to stabilize the situation in the countryside.
The hot spots and explosive points under Li Jie's rule were nothing more than those few. After excluding the barbarians and savages, what was left were the survivors of various countries.
For the princes, how to treat the survivors of other countries is a troublesome matter.
But for Li Jie, it just so happened that the barbarians and savages were the ones he wanted to win over, not the remnants of other countries.
Therefore, when the princes killed the barbarians, the barbarians were more determined, but Li Jie was more determined to kill the princes and nobles.
Anyway, most of the nobles are not willing to be used by him, and those who can be used by him are usually the unlucky ones who have been marginalized in their hometown.
As for the barbarians and barbarians, it is not that Li Jie wants to liberate and develop productive forces. These are simply the largest part of the population. He has so many projects to implement, so many workshops to start, and so many mines to dig, so he cannot
Let's use the remnants of other nations. How many people will that be?
Li made the simplest calculation. The land development in Huaibei alone and the amount of earthwork needed for irrigation canals would be at least three million cubic meters.
This is only the amount of irrigation canals, including buildings, fortifications, river embankments, workshops, etc. The amount of earthwork and stonework cannot be determined casually.
Not only must there be a bureaucratic team that matches the Huaishui Bofu, but there must also be a sufficient population base.
When it comes to population quality, the Suzhou Wangji area is really good.
Can it be used by him and be useless?
He is currently staying out of the matter and letting the mountaintops in the Wangji area of Gusu fight to death. He also thinks that after everything stabilizes, he will kill them and take these scum away directly.
At that time, the elite population of the entire Jiangnan region will fall into his hands.
Different from the bumpkins on both sides of the Huai River, because of the existence of the old monster, all the cities and towns in the south of the Yangtze River, regardless of the Chinese or savages, have very rich experience in river engineering.
In order to increase land output, Wu State invested quite a lot in water conservancy facilities.
The individual scale may not be very large, but the total volume is the largest in the past century.
Those who have experience and those who have no experience are two very different people.
The former is much more efficient in setting rules and regulations for implementation. As long as the supervisors perform their duties properly, the project can be advanced in an orderly manner.
The latter is difficult to say because due to the language barrier and lack of information, many Huaiyi people were so frightened that the whole village ran away as soon as they heard the Wu accent.
The old monster legend from decades ago is still popular now, limited by the shortcomings of poor traffic, it is here.
Up to now, there are still many horrifying legends on both sides of the Huai River about "Gouchen is here" and "Gouchen is here".
Not to mention today's children, even the children's parents grew up listening to this story. This kind of folk foundation cost Li Jie more money.
Therefore, there is no other way. One is to prevent the Huaiyi from rioting, and the other is to prevent the Huaiyi from running away. Relying on the water network composed of artificial ditches, natural rivers, etc., and adding road sentry boxes, the indigenous people can be suppressed in place and stop running around.
.
Only time can prove that Mr. Li is not a big monster that eats people.
It is different from Gouchen.
The effect is great, but the cost is also extremely touching.
There is one post for five miles and one pavilion for ten miles, which means that President Li is not short of "money". If it were replaced by Chen Guo or Song Guo, just such a post system would be enough to bankrupt them financially.
Compared with rural decentralization, Li Jie's post system is simply thankless.
But there is one thing to say, the effect is a hundred times stronger than the tradition of Zhu Xia Kingdom!
"There aren't any guard booths in Xucheng, are they?"
"Xucheng? No."
"Ah That's good."
After Li Jie put down the telescope, he checked again and asked, "Really?"
"According to the order of Shou Li, the sentry box has only been placed in Zhongli North City."
"Well……"
Li Jie was relieved this time, but he still said one more thing, "There is no pavilion chief named Liu, right?"
"No."
"Then I'm relieved."
If there is a pavilion chief named Liu, who can bear it?
However, when I lowered my head and looked at my carriage, I saw that it was not luxurious at all, but quite good. At least the pavilion chief named Liu would definitely disdain a carriage of this quality.
The post system in Huaibei is actually derived from the earliest "Baisha Yongfu". There are watchtowers in each "sand field". The security armed force is headed by the "Baisha Yongfu", and then the brave men in each "sand field" are recruited.
Go in, form a high-low match, and then remove the backbone of the "Baisha" force.
Up to now, even if the civil war in Wu has become intense, the armed forces of "Baisha" can only rely on the brave men of Baisha in Jiangyin City.
It's not that "Shaye" doesn't want to organize its own armed forces, but it's a pity that the "Lord of Baisha" doesn't allow it. The frightened unfortunates can only pray that the brave man of Baisha can really ensure that they can continue to live and work in peace and contentment on this land.
However, things went against expectations. As the struggle between local wealthy families became more and more intense, it was natural for them to bring in barbarians for their own use.
In order to prevent emergencies, the upper-class personnel of "Baisha" gritted their teeth and simply moved to the vicinity of Jiangyin City. The newly formed settlements and villages were all named under the name of Jiangyin City, which is equivalent to being naturalized in Jiangyin City.
, completely under the management of Jiangyin City.
The most important point is that they are not yet able to become city dwellers. Only a small number of them who have spent generations of savings can settle in Jiangyin City, because the city is obviously much safer.
In the current situation, no one knows whether the nobles of Gusu Wangji will go crazy and directly plunder the population, and then beat the brains out on the banks of the five lakes.
The people who died were not nobles, they were cannon fodder.
So no matter how many times I was stabbed by Jiangyin City, for the sake of my life and for the ancestral chromosomes to continue to be passed down, I had to take this stab.
Why not live on if you can endure humiliation?
When you die, there is nothing.
It was also because the upper management of "Baisha" gave up their power that the "Baisha Yongfu" further took over the rule of various sand fields.
While promising to provide safety guarantees to each desert, it is clear that each desert must also assume its obligations.
For example, the annual protection fee is absolutely indispensable.
In the desert without fields, one-third or one-fourth of the income from fishing and hunting is usually turned over. Because it can be recorded, it is often concentrated in the most harvested time of the year and done at once.
For example, if there were a total of geese or other birds lacking in a certain sandy field in the first half of the year, then during the autumn harvest, we would capture this amount at one time.
The total amount is enough.
However, those who live in the sandy countryside who rely on fishing and hunting are often so poor that they have to rely on hard work and corvee labor to pay off their tax arrears.
As for the sand fields with cultivated land, it is a very normal 46 points or 50 to 50 points.
Beans and flax crops are generally 50-50 cents; rice output is 40-60 cents, 40 cents is tax, and 60 cents is your actual income.
Baisha Yongfu also acts as a tax collector during the tax collection season, and his majesty is established instantly. It is not just a matter of the value of force.
This whole set of practices in Jiangyin City, after being streamlined according to local conditions, is the Huaibei guard box system, also called the guard box system.
It can be regarded as a transitional method, in order to quickly stabilize the barbarians and savages in place and prevent them from continuing to flee.
The aftermath of last year's flood resulted in the emergence of a large number of uninhabited areas. Without management and sowing, in a year's time, no matter how good the fertile land is, it will turn into grassland, woodland, and swamp.
Even the land near Fang Zhongyi has not been developed until now because it was only possible to burn the land after last autumn. When the grass is lush and green, just weeding is an extremely desperate job.
At this time last year, in the vast tracts of land in Huaibei, everything as far as the eye could see was covered with vegetation.
It is more like a prairie than a great plain. Until now, the wild elk herds in the Yingdong area have not been killed by Li Jie. It can be imagined how friendly the current ecology is to the wild animals in nature.
"Did Fang Zhongyi organize a hunting team?"
After confirming that there was no pavilion chief named Liu, President Li felt much more relaxed and started to care about other things.
"Each pavilion chief has an organization, and the barbarians and savages have also sent out men to act as servants."
"Well, good! Very good!"
Organizing a hunting team can not only deepen mutual communication, but also obtain a certain amount of meat protein.
Ask Li Jie to keep filling it with meat. When will it be done?
Having a hunting team is not only highly efficient, but also clears away all large wild animals in the territory, protecting agricultural production. If the hunting proceeds are distributed a little bit, it can ease relations and win people's hearts.
It’s still the stupid way to leave everything to time. Time will prove that Li Jie’s side is the best in food and appearance.
As for Huai Yi who actually said that he was an iron man, President Li wouldn't mind breaking the iron bones into pieces and melting them again.
