Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 249 Shuaicai and Xincheng

Even if a bank is established, the shogunate still needs "principal", and it cannot be released at all.

But in the current financial situation, how can there be any spare money?No way, I still have to - think of a way.

The Hexi party who refuses to obey discipline?Uyghurs?At the end?

Shao Shude tapped the handrail lightly with his fingers, and he gradually understood.This year's twelfth lunar month, we will have a good talk with the chieftains.

"I will find a solution as soon as possible about the steer." Shao Shude stood up and said to Li Shao, "There is still half a year before the spring sowing in March next year. During this half year, Li Pushe has to worry about it and try to do it as well as possible." Prepare. Next year, I will get as many cows as possible, as many as I can. Unfortunately, even if the three-crop rotation system is implemented, it will take another three years to really see great benefits."

It's really not that easy to do things.Although he knew that the three-crop crop rotation system was very suitable for the Northwest, where there are few people and a lot of land, there are many livestock, and there are no local powerful families, and no complicated land property rights, but he still dare not ignore it. He still has to do a pilot first, and then slowly spread out.

Now I am the ruler of more than one million Han people, and I have to be responsible for them, and I have to think carefully about everything. If there is a mistake, the interests of tens of thousands of people will be damaged.

"Since the commander has made up his mind, let's do it accordingly." Li Shao said: "Anyway, I think this method is good, especially suitable for Xiasui, Shuofang, Helong and other places. If it is changed to Hebei, Hedong, Huainan, In places like Jiangnan and Central Sichuan, even if there are enough cattle, it will probably not be possible. There are a bunch of generals and aristocratic families, and it is too difficult to take the land from them."

Shao Shude smiled when he heard the words, Li Shao's family also has a lot of land in Hedong.I am deeply touched by the complex relationship of land property rights in the local area. Military leaders, large and small, control most of the land, and the family and temples divide up the remaining land.The family members of the sergeants may be the only ones who really control the farmland for self-cultivation, but it is also extremely difficult for them to buy land.

Starting in the Northwest, not having a large family with a large amount of land is an invisible benefit.

This place has been in chaos since the mid-Tang Dynasty. Whoever buys land here is crazy.This gave Shao Dashuai a chance to draw on a blank sheet of paper, and also gave the new Kanto immigrants a chance to get a land where they could settle down.

"This is General Fu. He is neither humble nor overbearing, with a calm demeanor and the appearance of a general." Shao Shude turned his gaze to Fu Cunshen and said.

"The little garrison general in Huaizhou should not be praised by the king of Lingwu County." Fu Cunshen replied.

There was no look of being flattered, nor was there any rebellious reaction. This Fu Cunshen was indeed unusual in terms of character and bearing.

In several secret letters Pei Tong sent to himself, he also mentioned Fu Cunshen's performance along the way, which was indeed remarkable.This made him love talents, and wanted to put Fu Cunshen into his account.

In today's world, there are many fierce people who dare to fight.I don't know how many people can be applied to these words of being brave and not afraid of death, brave and brave, and bravely crowning the three armies.But this is not the talent he is looking for. He now needs generals who can stand on their own, not fierce generals who charge forward.

A person who is in charge of one's own side may be called a handsome talent.This kind of person has always been in short supply by all major forces.

In the future, the territory will become bigger and bigger, the number of soldiers will increase, and the wars will become more and more frequent. If you conquer everything yourself, won't you be exhausted?If there is a handsome talent that you can trust, then you can hand over the battlefield in a certain direction to him, and he will take full command of it to serve your great cause.

"General Fu moved to various places in Henan, what do you think of the situation in the Central Plains?"

Fu Cunshen knew that this was a test, so he said seriously: "After several attacks on Bianzhou, and the loss of soldiers and generals, Qin Zong's power has declined. Most of the officials who served his false orders in the past will leave him. According to Zhu Quanzhong's Xuanwu, Yi Form six prefectures and isolate the Huaixi prefectures, this is the meat on the lips, and we will attack them one by one."

There is no history of foresight, and Fu Cunshen can see this step, which is fine.

"The princes of Huaixi, can you stop Zhu Quanzhong's attack?" Shao Shude asked again.

Fu Cunshen thought for a while, and said: "A certain number of states and counties have passed through Huaixi for several years. To be honest, the states and counties are dilapidated, there are not many soldiers, there is a shortage of equipment, and people's hearts are betrayed. Zhu Quanzhong of the state."

"How will the four towns of Tianping Army, Wuning Army, Taining Army, and Ziqing react?"

"The brothers of the Zhu family only have martial arts but no martial arts, and they are also bewitched by Zhu Quanzhong. If they can work together, the four prefectures of Yanhai and Pucao may be able to survive. If they cannot watch and help each other, it will be difficult."

"You also mentioned that the Zhu family brothers have strong troops. Zhu Quanzhong has only [-] to [-] soldiers. Can he take these two towns?"

"If Zhu Quanzhong induces Cai Bing to surrender, his troops will be greatly increased, and there may be a chance."

"Where's Wu Ning Army?"

"Shi Pu was not in the right position and internally unstable, so he was not Zhu Quanzhong's opponent."

"What should the Difficult Army do?"

Fu Cunshen was taken aback, from Suizhou to Luoyang, so far away, how to intervene?
However, there must be a reason for Shao Shude to ask this question. After Fu Cunshen thought about it, he said, "If the commander wants to recruit soldiers and civilians, you may contact... Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi."

Shao Shude smiled, and said: "Zhang Quanyi really can't fight. He defeated him twice when he just dispatched troops. This person is based in Luoyang, and he can't stop Quanzhong's blow. Li Hanzhi is brave, but he is not good at management. I am afraid that he will be defeated by Zhang Quanyi. Hurry up. General Fu, if you want to help Li and Zhang, how can you help them?"

"Commander, Li Hanzhi and Zhang Quanyi are to Zhu Quanzhong and Li Keyong what Cheng Zongchu, Zhu Mei, and Li Xiaochang are to the commander. If they intervene, not only will Zhu Quanzhong not like it, but the brother-in-law of the commander may also have ideas. Fu Cunshen looked at Shao Shude and said solemnly: "Please think twice, Commander."

Not bad, instead of following his own words, he clearly pointed out the risks involved and solemnly advised him.Both character and character are good, and if they can be cultivated, they can be talented in one aspect.

Lu Huaizhong and Yang Yue were the only ones who led the battle with soldiers and horses all the time.

When Lao Lu was conquering Lingzhou, he led the way alone, but there were only 7000 people, so he couldn't prove himself.

Yang Yue can indeed be considered a handsome talent. He has proven himself by commanding more than 2 Tibetan troops, winning consecutive battles and conquering two states.But after replaying his tactics, Shao Shude felt a little uneasy again. He always felt that his fighting style was too sloppy and not stable enough.

Well, maybe this is another kind of beauty that I can't appreciate.The art of war is inherently diverse and should not be limited to one style.

There must be many people who are not used to the conservative genre of myself and Zhuge Shuang.

By the way, Yang Yue, the old man, caused the Hexi party item to go to war a little bit too badly. 4000 people went out, and only a few hundred people came back in the end. They are suspected of eliminating miscellaneous brands, and logically speaking, they should be fined.But it is also true that his military exploits are dazzling enough.

In later generations, merit is merit, and demerit is demerit, but in this meeting, merit and demerit can be offset.Yang Yueli's military exploits are very great, but in the eyes of many people, it may not be a crime at all.

We have to freeze him for a period of time, deal with it coldly, and wait and see what happens next.

Apart from Lu and Yang, Zhang Yanqiu should also be a talented person.

This person has been a general for generations, and his family has a long history. Shao Shude once learned a lot of knowledge from him.The two have a very good personal relationship, and Zhang Yanqiu even recommended such talents as Zhu Shuzong.

As the coach of Hedong Capital, Zhang Yanqiu has a good command of the army and has the ability to lead tens of thousands of troops into battle.But he has only been here for a short time and has not yet proven himself. If there is an opportunity in the future, maybe he can try to let him lead the army and fight independently.

Can Fu Cunshen independently command the battlefield in one direction?Now, he definitely doesn't have this ability.He still needs to continue to grow. In layman's terms, he needs to accumulate experience and upgrade.

Take it with you and observe for a while.

It happened to plan to form the Tianzhu Army, with a small number of soldiers, four battalions of soldiers, five battalions of auxiliary soldiers, and some miscellaneous soldiers, a total of nearly 5000 people.The military envoy has been appointed, and it is Li Tangbin, the military envoy of Wuwei Youyi.Since Fu Cunshen brought 400 people to vote and made great contributions along the way, let him join the Tianzhu Army as a top ten general.

There is also Wang Jianji, who stood firm at the critical moment and made some contributions along the way, so he was promoted to a level and became a team leader.

"General Fu is brave and steadfast, and has made great achievements. Let's go to a certain tent and become a tenth general. Once the Tianzhu army is formed, he will go to the post." Shao Shude said.

"Thank you, Marshal Jian Ba." Fu Cunshen was a little surprised.

As for the deputy general, he may lead the battle barracks, or he may lead the auxiliary barracks. The ten generals are basically the chief officers of the battle barracks.And once there is a vacancy for a higher-level position in the army, the ten generals will also be given priority.

"Wang Huochang also has meritorious service, so let's go to Tianzhu Army as a battalion commander."

"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief." Wang Jianji squeezed up from behind, knelt down on one knee, and said happily.

"I won't enter Lingzhou, I'll go straight to Huaiyuan County to have a look." Shao Shude waved his hand, and Li Renfu led the horse over.

"Respectfully send off the king of Lingwu County." Li Shao said in unison with the assistants and supervisors of the Lingzhou shogunate.

Who says it is useless to command, control, and envoys in the four departments of Guanbei?At least he can intervene in the affairs of Shuofang, Tiande, and Zhenwu towns with peace of mind without being criticized by others.

With strong strength, a false name can become real.

The marching speed of the brigade of cavalry was very fast. On the afternoon of September [-]th, Shao Shude arrived in Huaiyuan County and asked the construction judge Xiao Mao to question him.

"I've seen the commander in chief." Xiao Mao hurriedly rushed to the place where the camp was set up, and saluted.

"Judge Xiao must have known about it, right? Mr. Xiao wants to go out of Zhenhewei and Wuzhou, and he has agreed to this matter." Shao Shude stood on a hillside, looking carefully at the Huaiyuan New City, which was under construction.

The new city is on the south side of the old city, and its scale is far superior to that of Luocheng.The inner layer is made of rammed earth, and the outer layer is built with bricks and stones. There are five gates, and another water gate, which leads to the big river through the ditch.

The east gate is called Chaojing Gate, the south gate is called Wangjing Gate, the west gate is called Desheng Gate, the northwest gate is called Yonghe Gate, the north gate is called Zhenyuan Gate, and the water gate is in the southeast corner.

There is a Drum Tower in the center of Luocheng, and the sub-city is located on the north side of it. The command, control and other envoys of the Guanbei Four Roads are located in the sub-city.As for Huaiyuan County, it still works in the old county in the north, but it will be connected with the new city to become Fuguo County, so that the circumference of the entire Huaiyuan City will be close to 29 miles.

In front of the Drum Tower is a wide east-west main road, with Desheng Gate and Chaojing Gate at both ends.To the south of the Drum Tower is another main road, which leads directly to Wangjing Gate.

The layout and structure of the city is still generally the classic well-shaped structure of the Guo Dynasty.

In the southwest of Zicheng, there are sacrificial buildings such as Sheji Altar and Town God's Temple, while in the southeast, Buddhist temples and Taoist temples are planned.

The northwest is a commercial area. In the future, a square wall will be built, a square market system will be implemented, and commercial transactions will be concentrated.If necessary, a second Fangshi will be built on the west side. After all, it is the ruling center, and the business will definitely be very prosperous.

For the rest, there is no definite plan yet.But generally speaking, various government agencies also occupy a large area, such as Cangcheng (Changping Cang), school grounds, military camps, public treasuries, Duzuoyuan, post houses, etc.

In addition, there are welfare facilities such as private houses, various consumption places, charity houses, etc., all of which occupy a lot of area.

In short, the scale of Huaiyuan New City is not small, equivalent to the size of the state cities of Shangzhou and Wangzhou.A major corvee service for the people in Lingzhou and Fengzhou was to repair the city in Huaiyuan County.The nearby Dangxiang tribes were also confiscated, and the logging of logs, the burning of bricks, and the quarrying of stones were all assigned tasks.

Shao Shude's expectation is to spend another two to three years to complete Luocheng, Zicheng, Cangcheng, Yamen and some official facilities, and then he can live in it.Even if you go to other places in the future, you will not give up here, and it can still be of great use.

"The commander-in-chief's trust in the Xiao family is something that I admire." Xiao Mao replied.

"Do well. In Huaiyuan New Town, many people in the town have high hopes and are eager to move here." Shao Shude said: "Mr. Xiao, of course I trust you. The five prefectures of River and Wei, have been won after untold hardships, if not for trust The people who are in love are absolutely reluctant to let them go to the town. The Xiao family and the Shao family should share the wealth."

"One more thing..." Shao Shude said after a moment of silence.

"Please show me, Commander."

"I heard that Xiao Fu's house in Bianzhou is quite close to your house."

Xiao Mao was silent for a moment, and said: "It's not close, he and I are not in the same line, we were close when we were young, but we haven't seen each other for many years."

"You can move around more, come and go."

"What does the commander-in-chief want to do?"

"Dingnan Zhuzhou is remote, and I don't know anything about the situation in Bianzhou. Judge Xiao has an old friendship with Xiao Fu, so he should send his nephew to visit. This person is normal, and others will not doubt it."

"Marshal..." Xiao Mao's voice was a little unsteady.

It has been common since ancient times for aristocratic families to place multiple bets.Everyone depends on their abilities, whoever can stand out may be able to preserve other branches in the future.But the request of King Lingwu was a bit too much to be honest, and it also put the Xiao family at risk.

The position of Hewei Jiedushi is really not that easy to get.

"Judge Xiao think about it again. If you figure it out, you can ask the judge, Ting Wangsi, he knows how to arrange it."

"As ordered..." Xiao Mao bowed his head.
