please make me king

Chapter 1079
Ding Qirui, the magistrate of Yan'an, frowned when Zhang Shun mentioned "cultivating cultivated land and restoring production".

"What is the population of Yan'an Prefecture now, and how much is the food shortage?" Although Zhang Shun can determine it, he can't quantify it, so he has to ask Ding Qirui, the magistrate of Yan'an.

Ding Qirui has just been here for a month, and he is so busy, how can he know the specific situation?
He had no choice but to estimate: "Yan'an Mansion and its prefectures and counties, including Yulin and Yijun counties, have a total of [-] households, with a population of [-]."

"Yananwei, Suidewei Erwei, Baoan, Saimen and Anding have a total of more than [-] military households, with a population of about [-]."

"Excluding Yulin Army Town, there are [-] people in Dingkou. It's just that there are years of famines, people who died of hunger, or fled to other places, or were thieves, or died of swordsmen. Three or four out of ten, I'm afraid there are only [-] Dingkou left. !"

"Thirty to four out of ten!" Zhang Shun couldn't help repeating.

A very simple number, but it was forged from bloody corpses.

It means that in the past ten years, the [-] counties in the three prefectures under the jurisdiction of Yan'an Prefecture have repeatedly suffered untold disasters.

"For [-] people, based on a catty of food per day, that's [-] shi a month." Zhang Shun calculated in his mind.

"Ten thousand stones per month is enough!" Ding Qirui, the magistrate of Yan'an, quickly explained, "Although the Yan'an prefecture claims that they don't collect grains, they actually harvest every year."

"Now that many people have been lost, there is actually no need to spend so much food!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. If he really spent a hundred thousand shi every month, then he would be helpless.

He couldn't help but nodded and said: "That's good. Under the relief, if we can survive this season, it will be much better in the autumn harvest."

"Yan'an's autumn grains are mostly millet, millet, bean, and buckwheat, which are quite drought-resistant, so there must be no worries!" Ding Qirui couldn't help sighing when he heard the words.

"Only the matter of re-cultivation, I am quite worried, and please ask King Shun to solve it for me!"

Millet and millet are both millet crops, relatively cold-tolerant, and have been traditional staple foods in northern Shaanxi since ancient times.

Shu is a bean crop. Soybeans and black beans are more drought-tolerant, while broad beans are relatively more cold-tolerant.

As for buckwheat, it is mainly used as fodder for war horses, and whether it is high or not has little effect.

In terms of planting techniques and planting varieties, Zhang Shun, as a person who does not work in limbs and does not distinguish between grains, has nothing to say.

As long as the old Heluo farmers bring sweet potatoes back and plant them in corners, fields and other unimportant places, a lot of lives can be saved.

"What's the problem with the re-cultivation?" Zhang Shun said, "I've helped you with the personnel and the relief supplies, so what's the problem?"

"The main reason is that the big families took advantage of the famine to hoard their stocks, and secondly, they took the opportunity to annex the land and seize the land of the people fleeing the famine." Ding Qirui couldn't help but said hastily.

"Oh?" Zhang Shun was taken aback, and couldn't help laughing, "It's nothing to be afraid of hoarding."

"This time we import hundreds of thousands of grains from Yulin Town and [-] shi from Yan'an. The local grains will definitely be cheaper than those in Shanxi across the Yellow River. So what is there to be afraid of?"

Economic warfare, can they beat Lao Tzu?

But thinking of this, he became more and more vigilant.

If this group loses the economic war and the food in their hands is worthless, it is inevitable that they will be in danger of jumping over the wall.

At this time, I have to take one step and see two steps, and make preparations early.

Zhang Shun couldn't help but said again: "This matter is not urgent for the time being, I will call Li Zicheng over later, and it won't be too late to make a fuss about it."

"The most urgent task is to organize the manpower first and distribute the relief grain and rice in time."

"When there are more people, I will ask about farming."

"This... If this is the case, what should they do if they occupied the idle fields and planted crops?" Ding Qirui was stunned and asked subconsciously.

"What are you worried about for them?" Zhang Shun sneered after hearing the words, "They say it belongs to them, so we will collect taxes from them according to their words."

"It's not too late to clear the cultivated land when the autumn grain is harvested!"

When Ding Qirui heard it, he didn't know that Zhang Shun was going to use the Xi'an mansion here again.

He couldn't help but quickly reminded: "The Yan'an Guard and Suide Guard here are both under the jurisdiction of Yulin Town, and they are also inextricably linked. Please be careful, King Shun."

It's Yulin again!Zhang Shun frowned and said: "I know it, you don't need to worry about this matter."

"If I'm not sure, I will definitely not act recklessly!"

This is the disgusting part of Zhu Yuanzhang's design system.

Don't look at the guard system that has already been corrupted, and everyone in it is still dominated by military landlords.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the land was sparsely populated, and the land was basically divided according to the standard of one hundred mu per household, which was not an asset that ordinary people could reach.

Later, when the farming system was destroyed, a large number of guard farms were also in the hands of grassroots soldiers such as Baihu, Qianhu and even commanders. How can outsiders get their hands on it?
This determined that a person like Zhang Shun who started anew could carry out clearing in an inland guard like Xi'an more easily.

However, if the land ownership system is changed in a border area like Yan'an Mansion, these guard officers and soldiers with military skills are probably the first to oppose.

These people were originally one of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty, and they reluctantly joined the rebel army under the coercion and lure of the rebel army. If Zhang Shun dared to abandon their roots, they would definitely show you back on the spot.

One or two rebellions are not terrible, what is terrible is that they have taken root here, and you have already had me in you and you in me.

There are [-] households in one Wei, and there are more than [-] households in Yan'an, Suide, Yulin, and other [-]-household and [-]-household establishments.

Coupled with the population breeding for so many years, it is estimated that there will be more than [-] to [-] people, can I still map them all?
It seems that this problem alone is worth a trip to Yulin.

It is necessary to find out the bottom line of Yulin Jiangmen and how much Yulin Town has to do with them.

"That...that other gentry set up camps and forts, it's hard to do that!" Ding Qirui couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"What's so difficult about it? If you approach it with soldiers and shoot it with cannonballs, everything will be destroyed!" Zhang Shun couldn't help wondering.

You can't even do this, can you?

"King Shun doesn't know something!" Ding Qirui saw Zhang Shun's expression and knew that he didn't understand what was going on.

"Although the northern captives claim to be against us, they actually live together. There is me in you, and you in me!"

"There are a lot of men from outside the Great Wall who are as powerful and fierce as tigers, but how do you know that there are no captives in Yan'an?"

"In September of Chongzhen, the Mongolian Chahan tribe invaded Yan'an and Fuzhou. Hetao Gulu Buluo was forced by Chahan, and he came to join the rebel army's "Buzhini" and other troops. In Sancha, he encountered the resistance of Wang Chengen, the general soldier of the Ming army. Turn east to Jiazhou."

"King Shun knows that these people have their own strongholds. The thieves come to reject the thieves, and the captives come to reject the captives. If they are easily destroyed, what should the captives do?"

This Nima is all complicated and hopeless, right?Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help feeling a headache.

It's no wonder that on the Nine Sides of the Ming Dynasty, everything went wrong, and their relationship has long been terminally ill!
