Shao Mingyi came to the South Stadium to comfort the sergeant.
Nanchangkan is also called Jianshui City, and it was once the seat of the Tonghai Dudufu. It has been in business for many years during the Nanzhao era, and it once had a population of 30,000 to 40,000, making it a relatively prosperous place.
After the imperial court established Kunzhou, it had jurisdiction over Tuodong (now Tuodong, Kunming), Jinning (now Jinning County), Anning (now Anning City), Quyou (south of today's Songming County), Longhe (southeast of today's Lufeng County), and Wuding
(Today's Wuding County) Six counties, governed by Tuodong.
It can be seen that the essence of the original Shanchanfu in Tokyo has been transferred.
Among them, Tuodong is the city of Tokyo.
Jinning was originally a post station, namely Jinning Pavilion. After more than a hundred years of development, floods were gradually tamed, farmland was reclaimed, and the population gradually increased.
Anning was originally a military city, but later it became a crowded place. Barbarians from all tribes came here to trade, because there were five salt wells here. When it was under the jurisdiction of Tonghai Governor's Mansion, it was always used by Tonghai Governor to control the barbarian tribes in the south.
sharp weapon.
Quyue is located in the intermountain basin in the northeast of Kunzhou, far away from the Dianchi Lake floods, and has good agricultural conditions.
Longhe City is located on the Liangjing Post Road and is also very important.
The only place that is not so good is Wuding County. This county, formerly known as Qiuzhou, has many Tibetan people, little education, a poor economy, and a serious lack of development.
All in all, these six counties are pretty good places. There is no shortage of water, there are many mountains and plains, and the climate is pleasant. It makes sense for the imperial court to move Yunnan Road here - supervise the construction nearby and strive to catch up as soon as possible.
Dali Mansion.
The establishment of Kunzhou is actually not very beneficial to the Tonghai Governor's Mansion.
Places such as Jinning and Anning were historically subordinated between Shanchan Prefecture and Tonghai Dudufu. Now they belong to Kunzhou. The dust has settled, and Tonghai Dudufu has lost two fertile lands.
Fortunately, Shao Mingyi made a careful inspection and found that there are still several large mountain basins left in the jurisdiction of Tonghai Dudufu. Some of them are quite large and have great agricultural potential and can feed many people.
"Mr. Ren, how is the south stadium?" Shao Mingyi asked after coming out of the wounded barracks.
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Ren Wan asked.
"I've been here several times and I feel it's more comfortable in winter and spring, but in summer and autumn it's a bit hot and humid, making me sweat all over." Shao Mingyi said, "However, compared to many places further south, it's much better."
"Your Highness, there is actually a place in the south that is more comfortable than the South Stadium." Ren Wan said with a smile.
"Haha, sir, why don't you just say it out loud? Why don't you just say it?" Shao Mingyi said with a smile.
"His Highness clearly has his heart set a long time ago, so why bother asking me?" Ren Wan shook his head and smiled.
"I can't hide it from you, sir." Shao Mingyi sighed: "I felt pretty good when we marched to Baping City last year. I heard from the local natives that the mountains in the southwest are even more comfortable."
Baping City is a stronghold of Tonghai Dudufu that has been operating for many years. It is located in Jijie Town, Gejiu City. The climate is relatively cool because its altitude is nearly two thousand meters.
Southwest of Baping City is the urban area of Gejiu in later generations, which is also a very cool place.
Last summer, the Hanni barbarians in the Tonghai Dudu Mansion rebelled and attacked Baping City. Hundreds of old southern barbarian troops dispersed in a flurry. Shao Mingyi, who had just recovered from illness, first sent people to appease him. The Hanni barbarians were arguing internally and it was difficult to make a decision. The result was
At this time, three thousand Xia troops suddenly came in front of them. The barbarians were shocked and collapsed for hundreds of miles.
After recapturing Baping City, Shao Mingyi set up his temporary headquarters here and lived here for three months. During this period, he felt that the climate here was rare in Tonghai Dudu Mansion. It was very cool, and there was a large plain to the east.
The Erhai Bazi is even larger and suitable for farming.
After careful inspection, he fell in love with this area. After all, Dali and Kunzhou couldn't give it to him, so he had to settle for this area.
"Your Highness." Ren Wan cupped his hands and said seriously: "Baping City was killed for several months last year and all the people fled. In fact, it's just right..."
"I understand." Shao Mingyi stretched out his hand to stop what Ren Wan was saying.
In fact, the corresponding preparations were already being made. He fell in love with this piece of land, but he did not ask his father, but his mother - to be honest, this might have a better effect.
In addition, he has been active in various ministries in the past two years, and has attracted many warriors under his command.
Just a few days ago, he asked the governor and old officials of Kunzhou how many acres of cultivated land were there east of Baping City? The official hesitated and couldn't tell the reason, only said that there were more than a thousand hectares - that is, more than 100,000 acres.
acres.
Shao Mingyi was worried and sent his trusted aides south to investigate, but no news has been sent back yet.
If there really were more than a thousand hectares of farmland in the mountains and plains, then he would have an idea.
In Yunnan, there is no problem with two crops a year. Even if you don't care about the soil, you can give three crops a year a try - of course he won't do that.
With two crops a year, one hundred acres of land can equal 150 acres in the north. If rice is grown, it may be more.
What if we place a thousand soldiers in the basin east of Baping City? One ding can grant hundreds of acres of land, and one thousand hectares of land is enough.
It would be better if the land was more than a thousand hectares, as more soldiers could be placed there.
The vassal of a vassal king is not finished just after taking office.
Shao Mingyi knew very well that to be a vassal king in a place like Yunnan, which was originally a foreign land, you must have a basic base.
In his opinion, the best base is the warriors brought over from the North, and the second best base is the immigrants from the Central Plains.
Last year when Han Ni was in rebellion, he tried to appease him at first, on the grounds that he had just recovered from his illness and it was not suitable to go on an expedition.
Yes, this is a fact, but is there really no other reason? Han Niman was burning, killing and looting in the local area. Did Shao Mingyi really not know?
He knows, he knows everything, even the Hanni barbarians massacred the people of Nanzhao (Baiman and Wuman) in Baping City, killing them until rivers of blood flowed.
At the end of summer, he suddenly decided to go on an expedition. Three thousand warriors defeated the Han mud barbarians, beheading more than ten thousand people, and captured nothing.
Now there are only a few thousand households left on the plains east of Baping City, and they have recently escaped from the mountains. It is actually hard to say what will happen to them. It is difficult to label them as bandits.
, they all became serfs.
"For the Youguo Army, I am sure to recruit two to three hundred people. General Tu is also a bit familiar, so it is not a problem to get two hundred people. The rest will be found from the Golden Gun Army," Shao Mingyi said.
: "How do you feel about this, sir?"
"Your Highness has foresight and foresight, and I admire you greatly." Ren Wan said sincerely.
King Yan is really the most like a saint, he is similar in every aspect, even more ruthless than him.
No, maybe father and son are equally ruthless, but one is an old fox who is good at pretending, while the other is still young and not very good at pretending - of course, in Ren Wan's view, this is not a shortcoming, or even an advantage.
"With a thousand soldiers, I can sleep more peacefully at night." Shao Mingyi said with a smile: "It would be better to have two thousand or even three thousand. With three thousand soldiers, even tens of thousands of barbarians can attack, so I won't be afraid."
.”
"Your Highness, please hurry up, time waits for no one." Ren Wan said cryptically.
Shao Mingyi put away the smile on his face and nodded slightly.
Ideas are ideas, reality is reality. Putting ideas into reality requires a lot of investment in manpower and material resources.
The Tonghai Dudu Mansion has actually welcomed the first batch of immigrants from the Central Plains, who were mainly resettled near Nanchangduan - now called Jianshui County.
Zhu Yanshou once led the Dragon and Tiger Army to break into this place to quell the chaos, and what he did can only be described as horrific.
In May last year, Shao Shude ordered in Heichengzi to move to Jiangdong, and people from Jiangxi immigrated to Tonghai Dudufu to fill the vacancy. The number of people was not specified at that time, but now the first batch has arrived, totaling more than 2,400 households, from Hangzhou, Yuezhou, etc.
Resettled in Jianshui County.
The second batch of more than 2,800 households from Hongzhou and Raozhou is coming soon. They will be settled in Tonghai County, the second county under the Tonghai Dudufu.
In fact, there is a third batch, but it has not yet departed. They are mainly from Xuanzhou and Huzhou. A total of 3,000 households will be resettled in Jiangchuan County. The specific arrival date may not be until the end of the year.
It has only taken two years to issue more than 8,000 households, which seems a bit small, but you have to consider the current situation of the Tonghai Governor's Office: with these tens of thousands of immigrants, Kunzhou and Dali need to provide help, so don't think about anything else.
Generally speaking, the larger the local population and the greater the output, the stronger the ability to accept immigrants.
Li Tangbin, Zhu Yanshou and others enjoyed killing people for a while, but they greatly reduced the ability of the Tonghai Governor's Mansion to receive immigrants. This is beyond explanation.
Ren Wan reminded Shao Mingyi that "time waits for no one", implying this meaning: With the saint here, everything is easy to talk about. He is in favor of his sons "starting their own business" in the frontier and will provide support as much as possible. Without the saint, everything becomes confusing.
"Actually..." Shao Mingyi climbed up a high slope, overlooking the paddy fields at the foot of the mountain, and suddenly said: "I once wavered and wanted to visit the Western Regions, but after much thought, I gave up. I have been struggling in Yunnan for so long.
, I finally saved some capital, but I really can’t afford to delay it.”
Ren Yuan heard the words and comforted him: "Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. The saint is strong and prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period. The world is still under his control. The Tonghai Governor's Mansion is not bad. If Yinsheng and other towns are added,
It’s a good foundation.”
There are already people working in the paddy fields, the immigrants who came here last year. As soon as they arrived, they took over other people's paddy fields as their own ancestral property.
It is said that Tonghai Dudu Mansion is a barren land, but at least in the north, development is still good.
Especially the area near Dian Lake has a long history, even surpassing Dali in the Qin and Han Dynasties. However, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, it declined significantly for unknown reasons.
Since the Tang Dynasty, there has been some development, especially the reclamation area of Dianchi Lake, which is quite large.
We can only take our time! A somewhat disrespectful thought quietly arose in Shao Mingyi's heart: I hope my father won't leave so soon. Living a few more years is the greatest support for him.
"Let's go and see how the people's lives are." Shao Mingyi said: "I have come all the way here, and if you have any difficulties, I will try my best to solve them."
"Your Highness has such pride, what else can I say to you? I can only do the hard work of a dog and a horse." Ren Wan said with a smile.
