Chapter II Investigation (2)

"Lang Jun, you are the king now, you must be dignified." In the early morning, Zhe Fangxiao stood up panting and said angrily.

Of course, the queen's current majesty is gone. Her hair is disheveled, her snow-white body is half hidden and half exposed, her face is flushed, and her breathing has just calmed down. The gorgeous clothes specially made by someone are scattered all over the floor. Fortunately, there is no

Torn apart.

I was obviously studying painting in the morning and drew a pair of mandarin ducks. When my husband saw it, he said directly: "Xī chì on paper, how can I be like the mandarin ducks on my bed?"

The result is what it is now.

The king is indeed a true hero. I had misjudged him before, but he is indeed a lustful person. I was really right about this!

Shao Shude stood up lazily. He was really satisfied with himself as his first wife. She was beautiful, had good skin, was good at running a household, had a good time, and was good to the servants at home. The only thing was that she had high demands on herself and liked to tell herself the most.

Great principle.

But this is also a refreshing point. What I like to do most now is to let the painting style develop in a weird direction when she is seriously admonishing me. Especially when she pretends to be calm and scolds me for not being addicted to women.

When I'm having sex, I always feel extra excited.

My queen, you still don’t have an heir, aren’t you anxious? Seeing that Xiao Feng’s belly is gradually showing signs of pregnancy, your brothers in the family are getting anxious, so aren’t you anxious?

"Madam, I think this handsome mansion is not as comfortable as my own mansion."

"Your Majesty, the imperial court has granted you a royal decree here, and you should always reside in the Commander's Mansion."

"That's all." Shao Shude stood up and asked Zhe Fangxiao to help him put on his robe.

According to the system, the king can change the color of his robe, "travel with an elephant chariot, decorate everything with elephants, a red liner, and eight lanterns on the scale." There are also honor guards around him when traveling, such as honor guards holding halberds, etc. Well, they can also be buried in the tomb after death.

Increase the height by ten feet.

Of course, Shao Shude doesn't care much about these scenes. Xiazhou is poor, so there is no need to make it so exaggerated. Alas, speaking of it, the imperial court has not rewarded him with a mansion in the capital, nor has he rewarded himself with singers and dancers. These are the benefits of the county king.

Ah, how can I say that it will be gone if it is gone?

After putting on his purple robe, Shao Shude went to have dinner and then went to the government office to review documents.

There are currently about thirty people in the shogunate, most of whom are old men who have experienced several times as commander-in-chief. Shao Shude has no one available, so he can only continue to retain them and slowly replace them in the future.

Xia Sui's current work focus has almost shifted to the land reclamation affairs in Yinzhou. To be honest, the land owned by the people of Yinzhou is still relatively small. The average household only has 20 acres of land. Facing various taxes, it is difficult to pay what they deserve.

It is very difficult. There are no military farms to provide additional output. As a place with agricultural conditions similar to Suizhou, it still has considerable development potential.

Song Le has been promoted from Suizhou Biejia to the governor of Yinzhou. Before he took office, Yinzhou was managed by Pei Shang and was too lazy to cultivate land. This year, he was under pressure and cultivated about 300 hectares, but there was no time to use it.

What a pity.

Shao Shude has ordered that a total of about 340 hectares of land be classified as military farms as the exclusive farms of the Wuwei Army.

This matter is very important. In addition to the output of the military farms of the Tielin Army, which cost more than 20,000 dendrobium for the disabled and fallen soldiers, there is also 90,000 dendrobium that can be used as military expenditures, which is not without small supplements. Wuwei Army 340

A hectare of farm can be arranged to be cultivated by the Chaos, and it can produce about 35,000 dendrobium of grain a year to subsidize military supplies, which is very good.

By the way, the Wuwei Army was an army that Shao Shude had just ordered, with a strength of 5,500. The source of the sergeants was the 3,000 sergeants brought by Zhuge Shuang from the Eastern Capital, and then trapped the Tielin Army and the soldiers from Yifang

A thousand cavalrymen were sent in at once, and each team was broken up and reorganized.

The officers were all from the Tielin Army, and the military envoy was Lu Huaizhong. Ren Yuji was once again transferred from the Suizhou Prefecture Army to serve as the deputy envoy of the Wuwei Army. The Marquis of Du Yu was Guan Kairun, the envoy of You Yi was Li Tangbin, and the deputy generals of the fourth battalion infantry were respectively

They were Guo Qi, Wei Boqiu, Fan He, Qian Shouxu, and the military judge was Guo Fu. They were basically the original members of the Tielin Army and were still under the control of Shao.

The number of the Tielin Army has also declined. Currently there are 7,500 people, five battalions of infantry and one thousand cavalry. Zhu Shuzong was promoted to Du Yuhou, and Zhe Siyu took over as You Yishi. Because Wei Boqiu went to Wuwei Army to lead troops and promoted

Li Yixian was appointed deputy general of the infantry. The deputy generals of the fifth battalion of infantry were Cai Songyang, Shao Desheng, Xu Hao, Liu Zijing and Qiang Quansheng. Many people were promoted. At the same time, their positions were also rotated to prevent officers from being in contact with fixed subordinates for a long time and forming confidants.

Team.

The Tielin Army originally suffered some battle losses, about a thousand men, so they did not recruit new people this time. They directly transferred 500 people from the left and right sides of the Xia Sui Yamen Army to make up for it. Now that Shao has prestige, he can also subdue Zhou.

Rong and Linghu Jing are not under much pressure to do this.

Don't blame Shao for only using direct descendants. It's true that he can't trust outsiders these days and rebels accidentally. The Yamen Army will have to be slowly concocted in the future. In Xiazhou City, you can't have an army that you can't trust. Two thousand state soldiers have already been

Leave it to Wang Yutong, and sooner or later the Yamen army will have to be reorganized.

If the Tielin Army, Wuwei Army, Yamen Army, and the 5,000-strong Jinglue Army are also included, the current total strength of the internal and external armies in Xia Sui Town is as high as 23,000 people. The pressure to raise the army is extremely huge, and we must find ways to develop money and food.

Sourced.

On October 12th of the third year of Zhonghe, Shao Shude first led the Wuwei Army to Suizhou. From now on, this army will guard this most important money and grain base in Xia Sui, and will be rotated two years later.

A few days later, when he arrived in Yinzhou, Pei Shang, who had just been transferred to the governor of Suizhou, came out to greet him.

"General Pei, I have a lot of things I need to ask you for advice." As soon as he entered the yamen, Shao Shude found Song Le, and the three of them sat down, drinking tea and talking.

"But you came here for the pasture?" As the years passed, Pei Shang looked older and older, and his face was not as rosy as before.

"Exactly. Not long ago, Zhu Mei of Yingning bought 900 horses. Last month, Zhuge Shuang, the commander-in-chief of the Shannan West Road Festival, came again and said that he needed to buy 1,200 horses. Li Xiaochang of Yufang and Li Xiang, a gold merchant, also

I intend to buy 500 horses each. This Yinchuan ranch is a cornucopia, and Shao has to pay attention to it."

Zhu Mei bought 900 horses, 500 of which are war horses. She has made an agreement with her to trade them with grain. The horse will be delivered after the spring of next year, and she can earn 80,000 dendrobium of grain.

Zhuge Shuang had 1,200 war horses, which was really a big deal. Because they were all his own, Shao Shude only accepted 46,000 pieces of silk from him, and the deal would be completed after the spring of next year.

The gold merchant Li Xiang's war horse was the same as Zhuge Shuang's, and he traded copper coins and silk. Li Xiaochang of Yufang was greedy for money and did not want to take money and silk, so he plundered the people's grain and planned to send it to Suizhou for trading. The road was very close anyway, so it was nothing.

.

Shao Shude was very interested in selling more than 3,000 horses in one go, and the potential profit was not small. If he hadn't been able to find more customers, he would have sold 30,000 horses.

Of course this is impossible.

Zhu Mei wanted to expand her military equipment because of her ambition. Li Xiang and Li Xiaochang had a purely human relationship. Zhuge Shuang didn't know what the purpose was, maybe he wanted to form a cavalry unit to deal with external threats. Anyway, Shannan West Road No. 15

If a state has money, it is understandable that in order to prevent others from taking over the throne, it should strengthen its military equipment appropriately.

Apart from these few people, it is difficult for other places, and they also face fierce competition from Li Keyong. The Loufan Ranch was plundered by Li Keyong the year before last, and it almost became a crime. It has not recovered yet.

But he can get horses from the grassland and become a second-tier dealer. He will definitely be a business competitor in the future.

It's a pity that the market in central Shu has not yet been opened. Dongchuan and Xichuan have been at peace for many years and are very prosperous. At the same time, the local Sichuan horses are not suitable for war horses, so the demand for Xia Sui horses is still very large. This business,

I’ll have to think of a solution in the future!

"The king sent people to Guanzhong, gold merchants, and Xingyuan to open horse shops. This move has profound meaning." Pei Shang said with a smile: "I just don't know if selling tribute horses will offend the imperial court."

From now on, the imperial court will also have to buy horses from me! Shao Shude thought.

"Selling horses in exchange for rewards for sergeants, I have no choice but to let the court cut off the food and salary." Shao Shude said with a bitter smile: "Also, the horse bank can also recruit some poor households from various places to settle in Yinzhou to enrich their household registration.

In the four counties of Yinzhou, no one can do it."

It is said that since last year, sergeants have been picking up their families one after another, but overall there are still very few. The main reason is that the road is too long and it is really troublesome to cross the state and county.

The sergeants had reason to do this. Most of them came from the three towns of Heyang, Zhaoyi, and Hedong, and they were generally the main source of income for their families. After Xia Sui divided the land and could receive rewards normally, of course he brought his family over.

The impulse. In the past, there were not many people who did this. Generally speaking, there were only more than a hundred households per year. But this year, there were suddenly more. The main reason is that after Wei Bo Town invaded Heyang, military discipline was so bad that the people could not bear to be exploited.

escape.

In the Tielin Army, the number of sergeants from Heyang was actually the largest. After learning that their families had taken refuge in Hezhong and Shaanxi, they recommended some prestigious people to go to Hezhong, Shaanxi, Zhaoyi, and Henan with letters.

Yang, trying to bring their families over. Of course Shao Shude supported their behavior and provided partial support by opening horse shops in Hezhong and Shaanxi to make it easier for the families of the sergeants to come to Xia Sui.

Once they come here, according to Shao Shude's idea, they will be resettled near Xiazhou, where there are also idle fields and a serious shortage of population. As for the ordinary households recruited, they will be resettled in Yinzhou to absorb the newly acquired fields there.

He really went to great lengths to trick people.

"What the king said is true. Without people, everything is in vain." Pei Shang agreed: "I heard that Suizhou has done a good job in opening canals and cultivating fields in recent years, and the state's expenses have also become wider. I can do this in Suizhou.

It’s an unexpected blessing to enjoy these blessings as the years pass by.”

"General Pei served as a general in Lingzhou in his early years, and later served in the Zhenwu Army and then in Yinzhou. He is experienced in the army and has many insights into animal husbandry. Shao is about to ask for advice." Shao Shude said sincerely.

"Shepherd..." Pei Shang smiled and said, "Since your Majesty has a question, I should tell you everything I know!"
