The number of ships under the control of Huai Shui Bo Mansion is quite large, and the number of registered ships in the ports and docks that can be directly managed has exceeded 10,000.
The tonnage ranges from large to small. The large ones can carry cargo of more than two thousand dan, while the small ones can carry more than ten or twenty dan.
All boats, large and small, must be registered just to institutionalize and formalize management. It is basically useless to insist on making any money from small boats.
However, for the local garrison, especially for Baisha Yongfu, the ship license plate issued during registration is a very important identity indicator.
Ships outside the area controlled by the shogunate are easy to distinguish at first glance.
Reduce unnecessary tasks for local armed forces.
In addition, after registration, it is much easier to classify ships. Taking "Zhuanzhuan" as an example, a light boat with oars and a fast boat with a single mast, when commuting on inland rivers, there are
Task differentiation.
For long-distance travel with favorable wind and current, you can use a single-masted fast boat. "Zhuan" is controlled by several people. As long as the water flow is stable for hundreds of miles, you can reach Huai County from Huaizhong City in one day, and smoothly enter Hangou and go south to the Yangtze River.
.
For short-distance commuting, paddlers are needed.
This kind of communication vessel with an extremely exaggerated length-to-width ratio is specially made in Jiangyin City. It can be assigned up to ten pairs of twenty oarsmen. Even if it is against the current, it can move forward quickly without relying on lurking, but it is a great test of the physical endurance and will of the oarsmen.
force.
Because of this special working condition, the "Shu Chuan" system under the shogunate was far more formal and strict than during the period of King Wu Wei, and even formed a special talent selection bonus for the shogunate's price comparison.
Anyone who has experience working in the shogunate with light boats and fast boats is more likely to be selected into the "White Sand Warriors".
Becoming a "White Sand Brave Man" is tantamount to preparing to be a crocodile, with half a foot already on the threshold of the leadership. As long as you behave appropriately, you can be decentralized to the rebel army to be a captain, or to be a local security captain, or even the Huaibei Pavilion Chief.
If it's long, it's not a big problem.
These warriors of the shogunate's "Zhou Chuan" do not need to prove themselves with words. To this day, because they are active in large numbers in Jianghuai and even Jisi and Heluo, the princes of all countries can see their amazing feats as long as they are not blind.
Quality, potential.
This kind of high-quality talents with excellent skills are recruited by the princes and nobles of various countries. And because of the relatively low-key pursuit of the princes of various countries, the shogunate's "Shuden" is somewhat proud of its capital, and when faced with the target of the pass, there are few
In order to avoid the humility of those who are inferior, it is more important to be neither humble nor arrogant, and to be confident and decent.
It's just that the family members know their own affairs, and the longer those who work in the shogunate's "Fushiden" stay in this position, the more they understand the particularities of the entire shogunate system, which allows them to develop their own qualities and potential.
It's not the other way around, it's their quality and potential that create the particularity of the shogunate system.
Therefore, as long as you are not a hot-headed "Zhu Chuan" warrior, you will not choose to change your identity and join another place.
In fact, even if you change jobs, it is impossible to have all the equipment, tools, and systems of the Huaishui Bofu to support you. To fully utilize the entire "Zhu Chuan" system, this is an extremely heavy workload.
Therefore, when faced with solicitations from outside nobles, the vast majority of "Zhu Chuan" warriors chose to smile and refuse without saying a word.
Unless someone really learns from Li Jie's tricks and plays the game of "buying horse bones for a thousand gold" or "thirsty for talents", then someone will choose to change jobs.
Li Jie didn't expect everyone to be able to resist the temptation to make enough money at once.
During the preparations for the "Sixtieth Banquet", the shogunate's "Shuden" was busy again. Similarly, on the waterways running north, south, east and west of Huaizhong City, there were countless local snakes who wanted to recruit the shogunate's "Shuden".
But as always, most of the shogunate's "Funa" still chose to smile without saying a word and politely decline. Only those who thought it was difficult to go further would leave a way out and maintain contact.
After all the regions under direct rule were notified, smart people immediately saw the key point of the problem from the "Feast of the Sixties". The Huaishui Bofu "showed favor" to the local elders. As long as this procedure is established, then in the future, the entire region will
The only person who is qualified to choose "giving grace" is Huai Shui Bo.
The "etiquette" of this era is so subtle.
However, even if smart people see through it, they can only stare blankly, because even if they are willing to oppose Li Jie, the gap in hard power is simply unimaginable.
The regional powers Chen and Cai will not oppose Li Jie; Wu, as Li Jie's home country, is busy fighting among itself; Chu, its old rival, has been collectively isolated because of the Treaty of Dabie Mountains, so naturally it doesn't matter whether Chu objects or not
.
Because even if the Chu State wanted to call on the "heroes" to rebel against Li, it would be easier for the "heroes" to directly kill the Chu State.
Huaizhong and Ying are both scum. If the two scum die, which one will not die?
At least Li Jie returned the benefits, right?
"The second and third sons think it means 'Feast of Sixty'...what are you trying to do?"
The Jin people in Huaizhong City were quite sensitive to Li Jie's growing strength.
Moreover, the people of Jin knew very well that Li Jie was not a loyal minister of Wu. In the eyes of Jin people, Li Jie was a loyal minister of Wu Wei King Gouchen, but he was definitely not a loyal minister of the current Wu King Ji Lei.
However, the current situation of the Wu Kingdom is that most of the mountains within the Wu Kingdom are not very popular with Ji Wei. In the eyes of the old people from all over the country, Ji Wei is just a child who can reincarnate. How can he be qualified to give advice to them?
?
Therefore, in terms of horizontal comparison within Wu State, Li Jie is not too much. At least he did not directly ignore the authority of the central government like other mountaintops and fought vigorously at the local level, right?
"What else can we do? It's just a formal self-reliance, and the shogunate is independent of the Wu Kingdom."
"Ziyu, I heard a piece of news. Do you want to know? After the 'Feast of Sixty', the shogunate made big moves."
Director Xu, who dealt with salted fish and cured meat every day, looked at Wei Yu with a subtle look on his face.
"You, the director of the Salted Fish Transportation Office, are quite well-informed."
The skateboarder on the side smiled, stretched out his finger and tapped Xu Fei, then turned to look at Wei Yu, "Ziyu, my ancestor also gave instructions. Before the autumn harvest, the Huaishui Mansion does make big moves."
"Big move..."
As for the word "big move", it was also because the shogunate officials said it smoothly that a new term was formed.
"Before the autumn harvest, it is time to attack Chu."
After Wei Yu finished speaking, he looked at Xu Fei and then at the skateboard, "For Zhong Ping to be so solemn, he must be more than just attacking Chu."
"Yes, as far as the shogunate is concerned, attacking Chu is just a trivial matter."
Xu Fei, who was rarely well-behaved, picked up the teapot and poured tea for his friends one by one. Among the people present, in addition to Wei Yu and Skateboard, there were also many people from the Qiancheng Gao family.
In addition, there are the Che family, the Zhao family of Qin State, and the Bai family of Chu State, the Chen family of Chen State, and the Cai family of Cai State. These young people are not considered to be the top talents in their respective hometowns or families, but they are indeed
He is indeed not mediocre.
After arriving in Huaizhong City to work as high-end tool makers, the situation changed drastically. The changes in life circumstances made it meaningless for them to return to their respective families and provide support for the top elites of the family.
Very low appeal.
Even though Xu Fei is doing the job of transporting salted fish, but with a whole team, the entire department operates in a closed loop, which means that he has to take charge of this department on his own and not just follow orders in an ambiguous way. This feeling is similar to that of a person with many years of experience.
A swordsman can lead troops after joining the army, instead of starting as a pawn and cannon fodder.
The experience is different, and the state of mind is naturally different.
"What is the news that the second and third sons have heard?"
"I heard that Huainan wants to follow Jiangyang's story and establish counties and cities."
"Jiangyang?"
"Where is Jiang Yang?"
"Opposite Jiangyin is Jiangyang, also known as Haiyang. There are Leiyi, Zhiyi, Luyi, Donglu and other places, all of which belong to Lizi and were granted by King Wu Wei when he was still alive."
"Isn't it true that most of the areas east of Hangou are owned by Li Zi?"
"You can say that."
Such a large area of land is just across the Yangtze River from Suzhou, which is a bit scary.
Especially those who have been to Suzhou, they understand that with so many boats in Li Jie's hands, although most of them are meaningless, it is absolutely easy to shuttle across the smooth river.
So the Yangtze River is a natural danger to others, but does it make sense to Li Jie?
Moreover, Jiangyin is still Li Jie's base camp, and Li Jie still has the official official position of Jiangyin County Magistrate, which has not been removed.
Having been in Huaizhong City for so long, the traditional elite’s understanding of the map has been greatly improved, not to mention other things.
The rough drawing that originally required difficulty to draw on silk can now be made more detailed using paper.
More importantly, the mapping methods of Huaizhong City are more complex and advanced, but as long as you understand how to read maps, you will have a clearer understanding of the geographical location.
At this time, the young scholars from all over the world who were drinking tea with Skateboard, Xu Fei and others only needed to think about it briefly to understand how much information the conversation just revealed.
According to the dialogue, the land Li Jie owns is definitely not just the "junk" areas of Huainan and Huaibei, but also land very close to the core ruling area of Wu State.
There may not be any on both sides of Hangou, but in the vast area east of Hangou, as long as they compare it with Huaizhong City, they have reason to believe that the future will only become more and more prosperous, not poorer.
The table was filled with snacks, including cooked, dark water chestnuts.
There are also white water chestnuts. After biting into them, the meat is tender and crispy. The taste is not pink, but sweet. The more a group of smart people eat, the more they find it not simple.
Because the water chestnuts on the table are not from Jiangyin, but from Jiangyang.
The yield of the newly reclaimed land in Jiangbei is not high, but the water surface opened up during the reclamation process is used to plant a large number of aquatic plants, and even some paddy fields are planted with lotus root, water chestnuts, wild rice, and water shield.
The city's special processing technology can also be used as winter food.
"Incorporated counties and cities..."
Wei Yu muttered these four words. "Counties and cities" have different functions. If they are really organized counties and cities, then it is indeed a big move by the shogunate. For them, it is also an unprecedented big move.
In organized counties and cities, what is most in short supply is not food or population, but officials.
These people, these people who are working in various departments and systems in Huaizhong City, are the best choices.
Perhaps the unit of "county", as latecomers like them, may not be able to enter it and occupy high positions or departments with real power, but the unit of "city" is conceivable, and someone will definitely be able to stand out.
The idle chatter of several Jin people made the scholars of Qin, Qi, Chen, Cai and other countries also have wild imaginations.
This is especially true for the people of the Che family of the Qin State. They are a warrior class. As the princes of the Qin State, administrative performance has little to do with them. Their main function is to protect the princes and then sell their lives and blood.
It has long been the front line of armed conflict, both externally and internally.
The territory of the Qin State these days is quite large, but the real highlight area is still in the Weihe Plain.
The land in the Western Regions is extremely vast, and the combined population may be the size of several cities in the Qin State. The reason why the Qin State cannot give up the Western Regions is that it cannot expand eastward.
As long as the Jin Dynasty lasted, the warrior class of the Qin Kingdom could not conquer the world, and their great achievements were only to defeat a few barbarian tribes.
Without any real merits in fighting the Jin Dynasty, the warrior class of the Qin State has been just a decoration for a long time. It is a bit too much to say that it is a waste, but to survive is to dominate the Rongdi District, which is somewhat embarrassing.
Ziche jumped out of the circle of Qin and hugged the golden thigh of Princess Yeyue. This was not an idea that came to her casually.
Over the course of several months, I not only witnessed the unlucky princess's miracle, but also witnessed the princess' profound strength after her defiance.
These days, whether a woman is strong or not depends on the man behind her...
Mr. Zi Che was quite satisfied with this man.
"I heard that Haiyang County and City are different from the land of Five Lakes. I wonder if any of you have traveled to Jiangdong?"
Lao Qin people are more direct and ask questions as soon as they think of something.
Everyone was stunned for a moment after hearing this question, and then looked around to see if anyone had been to Jiangdong.
There are many noble children from various countries who traveled north and south. After the Wu Kingdom became strong and powerful, it was natural that many of them went to Suzhou. Everyone present must have been there.
However, after going there, I’m afraid there won’t be many people who are willing to talk about the differences.
After waiting for a while, two Qi people stood up and came out. After saluting in all directions, one of them said calmly: "Thousands of people are highly dignified and polite."
"good."
"please."
"Please, Mr. Gao."
Gao Yan's eyebrows are similar to Gao Wan's, but his figure is slimmer, his eyes are sharp, his beard is straight, his nose is high and his voice is deep. When he opens his mouth, he seems to be talking in a clay pot, with a low voice like a cow's braying.
Very popular with people these days.
"Starting from Jiuzi in the east of the Yangtze River, the head of a county is in charge of military affairs, such as the Nanchao clan, Shanyue, and Fangfeng tribes. The county officials lead troops to suppress and kill various places. As far as the Five Lakes, there are few barbarians and many sandy fields, so the Five
Most of the Hu Dafu were county magistrates and county magistrates, in charge of political affairs. Although they were responsible for war, they often had county captains to perform their respective duties."
After some explanations, Gao Yan explained the governance model in the core area of the Wu Kingdom with great accuracy, and in just a few words, he also explained the chaos of the Wu Kingdom's system.
Because only in the unit of "county", Wu State did not implement it uniformly. There was obvious closeness and alienation inside and outside, and it was still the same as the clan clan of Zhou Dynasty.
The closer you are to the center, the easier your life will be and the less things you have to worry about; the further away you are from the center, the harder your life will be, and you will have to be responsible for fighting the barbarians.
Those who suffer hardship may not receive equivalent rewards. It all depends on whether the reincarnation technique is good or not.
On this basis, there are even more bizarre systems. For example, Li Jie's rise to prominence is the result of this bizarre system.
The supreme ruler of the Wu Kingdom paid almost zero attention to the lower classes.
Probably it's just love, whatever, as long as you don't rebel, and as long as you're willing to pay tribute, everything is fine.
Then, heavy troops were set up to guard the key traffic arteries, such as Tangyi and Huai County. Wu Jia and Jian Brigade had a certain number to carry out radiation suppression from point to point.
Other barbarian gathering areas, such as Yancheng, the former core area of Huaiyi, were used to resettle losers in political struggles, and Yiyang Jun Jixuan was one of them.
In addition to Ji Xuan, the same is true for Jiuzi's son Zhu. They are all losers in the competition with Gou Chen, but losers do not have to die. They can still be used as tools by the old monster who continues to knock bones and suck out marrow.
of.
After more than ten years of continuous management by Old Wu Guiji Xuan, Yancheng can now at least grow staple food. The yield is low, yes, it is low. Having it and not having it are two different things.
In another ten to twenty years, the local land output may still be very poor, but the planting area will definitely increase, and as long as the cultivated land area increases, the overall output is foreseeable.
Zhou Shi stopped using this mode a long time ago. Only hegemonic powers have the resources to continue playing this way.
This was the case with the Jin State, this was the case with the Qi State, and it was mostly the same with the Chu State, Wu State, and Qin State.
If you don't want to give up the expanded land, seal it off or divide it. After several generations, it can be digested.
However, different overlords obviously have different operating modes. The Jin State is simpler and has a mature system and is extremely stable.
The state of Wu is a bit unconventional. If the monarch is strong, the country will be strong; if the monarch is weak, the country will be weak.
In the eyes of the international community, such a country cannot survive.
Of course, when a pervert like Li Jie appears, I don’t know whether to envy or fear him.
"In Jiangyin and Jiangyang, the local officials are not the same as the officials from Wuhu. Therefore, if the county magistrate and the county divisions do not arrive, the county will be peaceful; if the county magistrate and the county divisions arrive, the county will also be stable."
After Gao Yan finished speaking, he looked at everyone and said, "The counties in Jiangbei are not counties established by the Wu State, but are 'counties' owned by Jiangyin. Therefore, the counties are in charge of civil affairs and the city is in charge of the economy. As for military affairs, all the kings are aware of it."
.”
The characteristic system of the entire Jiangyin system means that even if the local supervisor is not present for a while, it will not affect the operation of the subordinate departments of each subsystem. Therefore, the stability of the entire region is not entirely due to the county magistrate's work; nor will the development of the entire region.
There was stagnation and even turmoil because of the departure of the county magistrate.
Because whether there is turmoil or not, it all depends on whose hands the gun is. Neither the head of a county nor the head of a city is qualified to touch these gun barrels, so the market conditions will naturally be very different.
Wuhu doctors are not only respected for their status, but the "doctor" is bigger than the ordinary "husband". To prove that a man is bigger than the ordinary "husband", it can be seen on the battlefield.
Therefore, "doctor" itself is synonymous with courage, a status that naturally comes with struggle.
The county magistrates in the Wuhu area, apart from being unable to mobilize Wang Shi and Jian Brigade, their own family strength is enough to support a doctor to fight to the death against his political opponents.
Because in addition to his official title, he also has family power and can use public resources to build weapons.
This is fundamentally different from the head of a county in the Jiangyin system.
Everyone knows that the Wu Kingdom's system is chaotic, but after listening to Gao Yan's explanation, everyone not only has more respect for the deceased old monster, but also is overjoyed, because based on Gao Yan's explanation, they concluded that the Huai River
The future of the uncle's house will definitely crush the old system of Wu State.
