Lord of the House

Vol 6 Chapter 125: Politics is nothing but commonplace

(Second, ask for a red ticket)

The conference hall, together with Lin Fuping, is in the Mingtang, where Lin Fuping is in charge of official business. There is a side room and a quiet room for rest or secret conversation. Song Jia and Xiaoman have washed up, and it is dawn, so they go directly to the quiet room to sort out the papers.

There is a wall between the quiet room and the council hall, and there are dark windows that communicate with each other. It has the function of peeping at the council hall. Song Jia and Xiaoman are in the quiet room, so naturally they can hear the conversation in front of them.

It was only at the beginning of the month that Song Jia connected the cases of Changshan Island and Chongzhou children with Lin Fu, secretly feeling that Lin Fu was really a good method.

In fact, after the Jiangdong Zuo Army was stationed in Chongzhou, even if the news of the Chongzhou boy case was leaked and Xiao Taoyuan was alerted early, it would not make the situation difficult to control, and even the disaster of Xiao Taoyuan and Ninghai Town Water Camp could be eliminated as soon as possible.

However, at that time, even if everyone in this hall was grateful for Lin Fu's kindness to save the boy, there would still be opposition and resentment for political moves that greatly harmed the interests of wealthy households, such as inspection of public land and fines for rent collection. The so-called giving up first and then taking it by force cannot stop resentment.

However, Lin Fu first used the means of thunder to forcefully push the investigation of Terada and public fields to do it. Although it aroused monstrous resentment from the big households in Chongzhou, these unequal voices of resentment were suppressed by the great military victory. At this time, the truth of the Chongzhou boy case was announced to the world, showing his gratitude to the public.

Those who harbored resentment and hatred behind their backs were all ashamed and embarrassed, and even if there were individual complaints, they became the target of public criticism, and it was not a climate.

Song Jia and Xiaoman chuckled and said, "I see, no one in the world can be as bad as Lin Bie."

"I don't know how bad it is. In short, I haven't seen him suffer." Xiaoman laughed. She yawned and asked, "Are you staying to eavesdrop, or going up the mountain?"

"Go up the mountain first, these messes must be sorted out first." Song Jia said.

The She family is no different from a public rebellion at this time. The news that Song Jia and She Mingyue are staying in Chongzhou will not have any impact, so Song Jia is more free in Chongzhou. During this period of time, I also had the opportunity to get in touch with some more confidential documents, to know the details of some political affairs such as the inspection of the farmland and the public farmland as well as the fines for rent collection and levy, and I also knew the importance of doing these things to the Jiangdong Zuo Army, far more than just gathering fields to supplement the army. Funding is that simple.

On the desk in Jingshi, there was a first draft of "Rewards for the Wounded and the Dead" drafted by Lin Fu, and Song Jia couldn't help flipping through it. Lin Fu even discussed some details with her.

In addition to promoting military positions, the Jiangdong Zuo Army rewards military exploits and compensation for casualties. It does not directly reward silver and money, but is directly linked to the field system. The families of the soldiers who died in battle are assigned to Yongye's acres of land, and they are exempted from the field for three years. , and additional rations are included, and those who have made military exploits also mainly reduce or exempt their family's land fortune or grant land...

Compensation for casualties and rewards for military merit are closely related to the field system, which not only reduces the expenditure of silver money due to a large number of disability pensions and military merit awards, and the military merit reward money obtained from the county and the imperial court can be used to fill the lack of military resources, and can also be used for soldiers and soldiers. The family is more tightly bound to the land of Chongzhou.

For ordinary soldiers and their families from displaced families, they have the most direct desire for land that can support their families. Reducing or exempting the rewards and pensions of farmland and allotment has a more intuitive and exemplary significance.

Owning land can also directly improve the status of ordinary soldiers and their families in the village, which almost fundamentally reverses the drawbacks of soldiers' low social status, and can also encourage soldiers to fight heroically and reduce the occurrence of flight.

The reason why Jiangdong Zuojun is strong is probably only a figure like Song Jia who can also see a thing or two from these superficial but inclusive provisions on the merits and rewards of the wounded and dead. However, to govern the army and reward the army in this way means that the Jiangdong Left Army must have a large amount of land in their hands to use as pensions and rewards for military merit. , and was eager to move on the Crane City Grassland.

When I was in Dongmin, I only felt that Duke Wenzhuang was a great man, and could be seen as a hero in the world. He was suppressed by Li Zhuo, not limited by the congenital defects of Dongmin’s geography; the more I knew Lin Fu, the more I felt Lin Fu. His talent is not under the luxury of Wenzhuang, but also has insight and vision that is far from the people of the time.

Xiaoman left first, while Song Jia sorted out the slips, while listening to Lin Bie chatting with everyone in the council hall separated by a wall.

"The Luo family has lived on the south bank of the Yunyan River for generations, and should try to transport the Yanhe River's 'ten years and nine floods' suffering. At this time, he gritted his teeth, squeezed some fields and grains, and dug the Yunyan River wider and deeper. Now, the spring and summer will not be flooded, and the low-yielding fields in the Luo family’s hands will all become high-quality fields for summer wheat and autumn rice, and Father Luo knows that the gains are enough to make up for the losses,” Lin Fu and the others led the family, He rambled, "The digging of the river channel is wide and deep, and it is convenient for the village to transport the abundant grain and cloth to the expensive places to sell it for profit. This thing is cheap where there is plenty, and expensive where there is a shortage. Speaking of which, you don't know that the price of rice in Chongzhou is only 40 yuan per liter of rice, which is very cheap. When it is shipped to Jinhai, it is 160 yuan, which has increased four times. If you have the ability to transport it to Beijing, it is Eight hundred money, an increase of 20 times, is Shandong, and the price of food is more than double that of Chongzhou; when it comes to the price of cloth, Beijing is also seven or eight times more expensive than Chongzhou... You stand firm in Chongzhou for the Jiangdong Left Army Heel, I have made a lot of sacrifices, and I remember them in my heart. So I encourage you to buy ships to transport rice and cloth to the north to sell. You are worried that the merchants will be exploited by the government, and it is not enough for the officials to ask for a single trip. Don’t worry, I will be your backing with Jiangdong Zuojun. Of course, you should pay the taxes to the court and the government, and don't run away... The court and the government can't collect taxes, so what can you use to raise troops to fight the Eastern captives and kill the rebels?"

"...everyone has concerns about Yongten, and I can understand it. After all, it is everyone's farm, so how can the tenant grow whatever they want, but the owner of the farm can't be the master, and he can't even get the farm from the tenant. Did you take back the field? This is very unreasonable," Lin Fu said. "I thought about it this way. If you say it, please correct me if you think it's wrong. From the perspective of the tenant farmers, if the field will be collected by the owner at any time. Go, for him, it is absolutely impossible to plan for the future when he grows one season of grain to live another season. When the soil is exhausted, few people are willing to bother to accumulate fat and raise the fields. The rent is getting less and less. If the land is not allowed to be taken back by the landowner, and the tenant farmers can plant whatever they want, then they will naturally be willing to work hard to accumulate fertilizer, hoping that the more abundant the land, the better, and the rent that everyone can receive will naturally be It is also rising steadily, and the tenant farmers also have good harvests. The most fundamental question about Yongtian is whether people are more concerned about how much rent they can receive each year, or are they more concerned about what is grown in the fields every year and by whom. To plant, how to plant?"

"When it comes to rent reduction, everyone may be muttering in their hearts again," Lin Fu said. "Now the people in the north are rioting, and there are rogues everywhere. The main thing is that it's too hard, and you have to eat. The rent reduction is a It will cause everyone to suffer some losses, but it can fundamentally ensure that Chongzhou will not be chaotic, and it will also be able to prevent chaos from abroad. Today, it is better for everyone to eat less chicken and duck than to make trouble. Why can the soldiers of the Jiangdong Zuo Army fight, Dare to fight? They are actually no different from ordinary people, mainly because each of them is very clear in their hearts that if they fight back the enemy, even if they die in battle, their families can still live a good life. If they step back, let When the enemy comes in, not only will they not be able to save their lives, but they will also involve their family members from being bullied by the enemy..."

"Of course, it's common for me to tell you this today. Everyone thinks what I said makes sense, and you can try to do it. If you have concerns, you can just see others do it first," Lin Fu said, "if it's really good Things will definitely have good results, and it will not be too late for everyone to learn again..."

"Enze, Qiao Zhong, and Qiao Guan, they are determined to abandon Wen and join the army, so I will take them by my side," Lin Fu said, "Everyone else, go home to reunite with their families first, and what way will they find in the future? It is a good thing to follow the arrangements of the family: it is a good thing to continue to study hard to gain fame, to inherit the ancestral business for the benefit of the locality, or to abandon the pen to join the army and defend the homeland, and it is also a man’s ambition. One thing remains the same, you all went out from my Lin Fumen, so you are all my students, if you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to me, and you must come to me..."

Song Jia didn't think that Lin Fu was also a chatter. He could talk non-stop for a whole morning. He explained everything he did in Chongzhou in simple language. Most of them were robbed boys from big families in Chongzhou. The family spoke clearly.

Song Jia was filled with emotion when she heard it, and thought to herself that those ministers and generals who were above the temples and regarded themselves as talented, had the ability to govern the country and the army as much as Lin Fu, who could be so meticulous to these big households in the village. Did they explain it so clearly?

Of course, Song Jia also knew that Lin Fu had worked so hard. In addition to dissolving the grudges accumulated in the past, he also had to use the help of many people in the court to promote his political move to the whole of Chongzhou County. He was still tempting Chongzhou with his words. Large households merged and purchased ships to open up the sea supply trade route from Chongzhou to Jinhai.

Even if the civil unrest in Jinan is successfully suppressed, it will be impossible to restore inland waterway transportation next year.

At this time, the Jinhai grain route started from Huaikou, and the Jiangdong Left Army in Chongzhou could not directly benefit from it~www.wuxiaspot.com~ With the expansion of the rebel area, most of the Huaihe River will be affected. In addition, in terms of geographical conditions, Caoliang is more suitable to go directly to the sea from the river mouth. In addition to defending against extravagant families, the importance of Chongzhou on the Jinhai grain road will also be highlighted, which is also the main significance of Lin Fu's defense of the Shengsi line of defense.

At this time, I can see more and more that Lin Fu planned and mastered the Jinhai food route together with Tang Gu. The Dayue Dynasty spent almost half of his life on the Jinhai food route. Those Qingliu scholars who scoffed at the "pig herder" , compared to him is really a big difference.

At this moment, someone came in with a letter from outside, and Lin Fu opened it directly in the council hall, without concealing the people in the hall, and said, "Oh, the text of the Governor's Office and the Jiangdong Military Department requires me to go to Jiangning to discuss matters immediately. South , The situation in the north is urgent, since I received the text, I can't delay, I will ask Zhiyong, Chen Lei, Shuyi, and Shutang to accompany them for the luncheon..."

In such a situation, Song Jia thought that no matter how Yue Lengqiu thought Lin Fu was not pleasing to the eye, she had to reuse Lin Fu. Listening to the sound of footsteps, she saw Lin Fu turned from the front and got up to salute him.

Lin Fu waved his hand and said, "I'll go to Jiangning immediately and ride over there. If you don't mind revisiting on purpose, you can take Miss She to Jiangning by boat with Junxun and the others... It's better to let Miss She go out to relax, yes. It's good for the body."

Riding a horse is hard work, but a little faster than going up the river by boat.

The situation in Chongzhou has been determined, but the situation in eastern Zhejiang and the north is very critical. The road is blocked. Jiangning, as the southern capital, has a complete system of six departments. Naturally, it must play its due role. Jiangning Military Department audit. Lin Bie also wanted to rush to Jiangning early. What's the advantage? It's better to be ahead than to be behind. My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
