Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Shao Siwu picked up the hammer and nailed a wooden stake with his own hands.

"This piece of land belongs to Wang Wulang." He said with a smile.

Anton Mansion has a large land area and few people. Now it is called "area" and "fen" as units of measurement.One hectare, one hundred mu, has existed for a long time.

A share of 150 mu is just a new term.

Wang Wulang was from the Longwu Army, his ancestral home was in Qingzhou, and he had just settled in the Andong Mansion. He was a mansion soldier in the newly established Second Zhechong Mansion, Dagu Township, Lushun County.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reward." Wang Wulang said happily.

Shao Siwu silently recalled his father's way of doing things, and asked, "What else is missing at home?"

"Lack of a wife." Wang Wulang said.Everyone laughed.

"It's not difficult to marry a bride." Shao Siwu said, "Just wait for the new immigrants to come. Your family has so many fields. If you grab some cattle and sheep and bring them back, you can be called rich. It's not difficult to marry a wife."

"Then wait for His Highness to take me out." Wang Wulang said with a smile.

Shao Siwu continued to nail wooden stakes, and divided up the fields of more than a dozen households in a row, and then handed over the hammer to the soldiers, and let them continue to work. "

Fu Cunshen stood far away under a big tree with his arms folded.

Zhao Wang is 19 years old this year, regardless of his abilities, what Fu Cunshen admires the most is his extremely pragmatic attitude.He is more important than hard work, he doesn't like to play tricks, and he works hard. He often travels around the countryside and investigates everything in this wild land.

Whether King Zhao has ambitions, he doesn't know, at least he can't see it now.Moreover, Fu Cunshen didn't like to get too close to him, so he deliberately kept a certain distance, which was good for everyone.

He reckoned that Zhao Wang probably didn't have many extravagant thoughts.In the place of Anton, apart from a few cities and villages left over from unknown ages, there is nothing else.The common people are not very obedient, even clinging to the local tyrants and opposing the government.After Haoqiang was almost beaten, the work of registering households and Qimin slowly proceeded, but the hearts of the people were still not very stable. ·

Zhao Wang's strategy is to win over the original warriors and generals, use them as their backing, and then adopt the method of allocating land to the local people, giving them private fields and houses, and making it clear that they can be passed on to future generations. Farming is still very attractive to local people who obviously lack sufficient personal freedom.

Therefore, the four counties of Lushun, Pinghai, Dongping, and Jili in Cu'an cultivated part of the farmland last year and harvested 50 dendrobium grains and beans, which is a very good start.

It is very unrealistic to rely entirely on the Central Plains to supply food and grass.All the ships that were collected with great difficulty have all been transported to you. Is this plausible?In the end, we still have to be self-reliant, produce grain and beans by ourselves, and feed livestock, so that we can last for a long time.Otherwise, sooner or later it will be abandoned because of the huge cost, and a vigorous colonial undertaking will be abandoned halfway.

"Fu Shuai." Shao Siwu came over and bowed in salute.

"Your Highness." Fu Cunju returned the salute.

"Is General Wang's army enough?" Shao Siwu asked slightly worried.

"Your Highness, Wang Yanwen has fought a lot of battles, it's okay." Fu Cunshen comforted.

"That's good." Shao Siwu breathed a sigh of relief.

...

Fu Cunshen hesitated to speak, and finally sighed secretly.

King Zhao was too persistent and attached too much importance to the foundation of Anton Mansion.Compared with the whole world, the land of these four counties is nothing, not counting the government soldiers who are organizing households in batches. So far, there are only more than [-] households and more than [-] people here. The Liberated Serfs. |
What can so few people do?Nothing can be done.As soon as Zhong Yuan was weaned, he died immediately.

Based on this foundation, what can you do even if you achieve the ultimate?Even if large-scale immigration occurs, it may be decades before the results are produced. Who knows what will happen by then?
Wang Yanwen took 5000 people to the north to collect tribute and recruit refugees to cultivate.

The imperial court issued an order, and the Anton Mansion began to implement the Mansion Military System and officially granted land.The battalion sent people down to inquire. There are still many people who are willing to serve as government soldiers, especially those who return to the German army.

Prefecture

Yin Du Guangyi, Shao Siwu, the commander of the camp, and Fu Cunshen, the deputy commander of the capital, discussed among the three parties. The first batch of 500 people were selected and placed in the southernmost Lushun County. One person was granted 150 mu of land, and cattle, sheep, and farm tools were also given. ,seed.

Helplessly, these big bosses can only fight and kill, and farming is really too difficult for them.As a result, the camp had to send troops northward to recruit (capture) refugees and farm them.

Fortunately, counting from the second year of Jianji, the government soldiers still have a buffer period of five years.During the period, military rewards will be issued as usual, so that they will not be unable to live.As for the parts, I took it slowly.

Of course, when catching up on the trilogy, it may be possible to urge the court to move the family members of the sergeants who are willing to stay as soldiers to enrich the household registration of the four counties of Andong Prefecture.

There is no one, and everything is empty, let alone the population from the Central Plains. They are crucial to the Anton Mansion, which has degenerated from civilization to barbarism.

"Your Highness!" A person walked by and shouted.

"What's the matter?" Shao Siwu turned his head and asked.

Fu Cunshen glanced at the visitor, and it turned out that it was Cao Yijin, the former general of the Guiyi Army.

The Fanzhen of the Guiyi Army has already donated soil and surrendered, and the two prefectures of Sha and Gua are directly governed by the imperial court. Fu Cunshen knows this.But the feudal town is scattered, but the people are still there.To put it bluntly, many generals and sergeants of the Guiyi Army became the "dowry" of Zhang Huaishen's daughter and defected to Shao Siwu.

The sage acquiesced to this matter and did not obstruct it.It may be because the situation Anton Mansion is facing is too complicated, and it needs a team with one heart and one mind.

Cao Yijin saluted Shao Siwu first, and then saluted Fu Cunjian, and then said: "Your brothers have captured two thieves, but they keep claiming that they are messengers, and they have something important to tell."

The "Er Lang" in Cao Yijin's mouth refers to the soldiers of Andong Prefecture, with a total of more than [-] soldiers, which were slowly formed in the past one or two years.Half of them were soldiers of the original Guiyi Army.

Theoretically, this state army was also under the jurisdiction of Fu Cunshen, but in fact it was mainly commanded by Shao Siwu.He's the manager in name, and that's what he does.

"A thief? A messenger?" Shao Siwu frowned and said, "Have you ever revealed your identity?"

"No. They must be willing to speak when they see His Highness." Cao Yijin said, "You guys didn't make a fuss and brought these two back."

...

"Then... let's see." Shao Siwu subconsciously glanced at Fu Cunshen, seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he said.

"Maybe someone from the north." Fu Cunshen said.

"Bohai country?" Shao Siwu was startled, and asked, "Then why is it so secretive? But something happened to Bohai country? Wu Xiang, who supported our money and food, fell from power?"

If it was the envoy from Bohai, with such a secretive look, it could only be from Wuzhi.

In fact, Bohai State is also very divided internally.At the beginning, Wu Yandu, the Prime Minister of the State, recruited the Xia people and provided them with a lot of resources to help them gain a foothold. The purpose was also very simple, to help Bohai fight Khitan.

But after the Xia people came, they were more concerned about how to establish households in Anton Mansion, Qimin, Xinghuang grazing, and development of production.

True, the Xia also fought the Khitan, but on a small scale.Small victories, who often decapitated no more than a hundred people, were stunned to claim a big victory, and then used it as a basis to let the Bohai Kingdom quickly ship food and supplies over.

Bohai people were very excited at first.But as time went by, problems became apparent.

The Khitans didn't look like they were seriously injured by the Xia people, but they were full of energy and continued to attack Bohai.After some investigation in secret, it became clear immediately: they were leading wolves into the house together, and the Xia people were not good birds. Fighting Khitan was just incidental, and occupying land was their main task.

As a result, attitudes within Bohai quickly polarized.

Some people think that the shipment of materials should be suspended and the Xia people should be urged to go northward to attack Khitan.If they don't want to, stop spending money and food, or at least reduce expenses.

Some people disagree, and think that the Bohai Kingdom is struggling more and more in the war against Khitan, and has suffered repeated failures. A large number of cities have been captured, and its population and property have been taken captive.On their own, they can't fight Khitan for several years.Now it is even more important to win over the Xia people, and not to spoil the relationship with them, otherwise there will be no foreign aid

Possible.

The dispute between the two factions is not only out of public interest, but also involves party disputes, which further complicates matters.

Anton Mansion and Bohai State travel several times a year, and gradually understand their internal situation.What Shao Siwu said was not aimless.

"It's more likely to be someone from Khitan." Fu Cunshen said, "Didn't the people from the Wangwang Division say that Brother Gao Family..."

Shao Siwu suddenly realized, and said: "If they are really members of the Gao family, they are really loyal and courageous! They are far away in Huangshui, going south all the way, not far away, passing through the pastures of many tribes along the way, and they were caught if they didn't pay attention Yes. With such perseverance, it is not easy.”

Fu Cunshen didn't talk too much, so he asked people to move two beds, sat down with Shao Siwu on the left and right, and waited quietly.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes sounded, and more than a dozen knights came over protecting the two.

"Gao Xinggui sees His Royal Highness King Zhao of Great Xia, sees Fu Dutou." A young general got off his horse and bowed.

Behind him was another entourage, who should be a confidant guard, who also saluted together.

Shao Siwu turned his head and glanced at Fu Cunjian, and he guessed that he really came from Khitan.

Fu Cunshen winked, telling him to be calm.

Shao Siwu collected himself and gave Cao Yijin a wink.Cao Yijin understood, got on his horse and left immediately.

Shao Siwu asked people to serve tea again, and greeted the two envoys for a chat, while secretly pondering what they said to see if there were any flaws.

Cao Yijin came back soon, bringing with him two men who looked like merchants, an old man and a young man.

The two looked carefully for a long time, then nodded heavily.

Cao Yijin immediately moved closer to Shao Siwu's ear and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the Sun family and his father have seen it and confirmed that it is Gao Xinggui himself."

Shao Siwu hummed lightly, and asked, "General Gao came here in the starry night, do you have something important to tell?"

"Return to Your Highness, there is indeed a major event." Gao Xinggui waited for a long time, and finally got to the point, and immediately replied: "The Khitan is aggressively recruiting troops, gathering towards the pine forest on the flat ground, or going west."

Shocked, Shao Siwu suddenly got up.

Fu Cunshen coughed.

Shao Siwu took a deep breath, sat down slowly, and said, "General Gao, tell me carefully."
