Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 665 Liaodong Group
"This autumn has a good harvest. Now the entire six counties and [-] counties in Andong, including the army farms, even the government soldiers' fields, and the common people's farmlands have begun to be mixed. After one season of wheat, soybeans, millet, or sorghum can also be mixed. This has greatly increased the income. The grain, soybeans and sorghum obtained at the same time can also be used as feed for military horses, greatly strengthening the cavalry strength of our loyal military army."

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with the report given by Ziying Tian, ​​the ambassador of Jiedudu Branch in Andong Road.Wang Ziming has followed Luo Cheng for several years, and has been in charge of looking at Luo Cheng's finances. He has rich experience in this area and works hard. He is a very good money manager.

Previously, after the imperial court opened the way to set up envoys, it also set up field envoys in various border roads to be responsible for farming affairs.And in Andong Road, Prince Mingte is also in charge of dispatching military resources and is responsible for the finance of Jiedu Shiya.Therefore, he is actually an ambassador for Yingtian and also an envoy for military rations.

Tuntian was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry in the imperial court, and the Ministry of Industry was the general organization, while there were special management agencies at the local level.

"Our Andong Dao military garrison is [-] hectares per tun, and the civilian tun is also [-] hectares per tun. Each tun has a tun master and a tun deputy, and five tuns have supervisors and prime ministers to control them."

Luo Cheng attaches great importance to the farming of Andong Road, which involves the need for military rations.

Therefore, Wang Ziming, the Duzhi Yingtian ambassador, has a special yamen, and there are also Yingtian deputy ambassadors, Yingtian envoys, Yingtian deputy envoys, Yingtian judges, and Tian Cao participating in the military.

And below, there is a tun in [-] hectares, and there are tun masters and tun deputy.For the five villages, there is a village supervisor and a village officer, all of whom are grass-roots village officials.

"Food is the foundation, the people depend on food, and as we are a frontier theater, military rations are the foundation of the army. The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. Without food, the army is in danger. We must attach great importance to the farming, and we must not relax."

It is because of Luo Cheng's insistence that the farming business in Andong Road is now booming.

The first is the military colony. The military colony is a field belonging to the Zhongwu Army. Basically, every military town, garrison, military station, and even the edge of the beacon has a military colony, and its fields are cultivated by the garrison and military slaves.Two-thirds of the harvest from the fields were stored in the granary of the military town where the fort was located as food for war preparations, and one-third was handed over to the nearby big city for storage and dispatch.

In addition to these military farms that are directly subordinate to the military government, there are other civilian farms. The folk farms are the official land under the Yamen of the Jiedushi, but the people who cultivate it are the common people or the slaves of the official farm, and the farmland of the common people is the tenant farming. Rent, the land slaves in the official village also paid rent, but the amount of rent was different.

The grain harvested by these villages goes to the Jiedu Shiya and the counties and counties below. Luo Cheng also divides the land rent and grain into divisions, one third is kept in the county granary, and one third One-third of the granaries in Jiaojun were handed over to the granaries of Jiedu Shiya.

Relying on the military and civilian villages, there is now grain in the granaries of every military town and county.

On the other hand, the people also have food in their warehouses.

The government soldiers also have their own soldiers Yongye Tian and Kou Fen Tian, ​​and their family members also have Yongye Tian and Kou Fen Tian, ​​and many of the people who immigrated to the Central Plains also got the land.Even many exiled criminals can convert the official land they rented to their own Yongye land and Tianfen land after ten years of farming for Andong.

Of course, this is not counting the large number of public fields, job fields, school fields, etc., and there are also a lot of these fields.

Luo Cheng was very clear about the development goal of the entire Andong Road, that is to rely on the Liao soldiers to defend the Liao soil, and rely on the Liao people to support the Liao soldiers.Self-sufficiency, do not have to rely on the supply in the pass, so that you are not afraid of choking the throat in the pass.

Only after achieving self-sufficiency, especially food and clothing, will they have the opportunity to talk about other things.

Grain production is the top priority of Andong Road. Only when the grain is self-sufficient and there is surplus grain can we talk about development and expansion.

Now Wang Ziming told Luo Cheng that with the vigorous development of Andong Road in the military and civilian villages, as well as the equalization of land and granting land, the grain production has been stable, and the number of cultivated fields has continued to increase, especially after the mixed crops, the grain production has continued to increase.

Just the income from the army station is completely enough for the army, and there has always been a surplus.The granaries in counties and counties are also full.

Not to mention, in the [-] townships in the six counties and [-] counties, there is also a lot of grain stored in the righteous warehouses in each township with the nature of land tax.

It is because of these grains that the price of grain in Andong Road is much more stable than that in the Central Plains, and a bucket of rice is only [-] yuan.

According to Luo Cheng's way of thinking, to strengthen the army, one must have food first, and then money, otherwise how to strengthen the army?

Therefore, after farming in the fields, some pillar industries have to be developed to develop Anton, such as animal husbandry, trade in border markets, mining and iron smelting, shipbuilding, wine making, etc.

However, Anton's silk weaving is a big weakness, but through trade, it can be traded directly from the sea and the southeast coast to make up for the deficiency.

In the future, the Zhongwu Army will rely on self-manufacturing, recruiting and training artisans, and establishing ordnance manufacturing workshops. From arrowheads to spearheads, and from horizontal knives to horses, crossbows, and armor, they should have the ability to make their own.Moreover, the required iron materials should be placed in an order for one's own iron factory, and one's own iron factory can drive the development of one's own mine.

Of course, there are still many industries that can be developed in the future, such as papermaking.The price of paper has always been very expensive, and the technology has always been in the hands of some aristocratic families, but if the technology can be obtained, the prospect of papermaking is great, and the profit is very high.

In addition, if the iron ore and iron factory ordnance manufacturing industry develops, it can also drive the development of civilian iron products, such as making iron pots, kitchen knives and hoes, etc., and even export them to the grasslands. Whether it is Turkic or Khitan, for the Iron products are extremely desired, and an iron pot may be a symbol of status.

Of course, Luo Cheng is not the kind of person who is dedicated to serving the public.

Andong Dao developed in an all-round way, and he did not ignore the generals, officials and soldiers who followed him. Needless to say, there were army fields and Xun fields, and the number far exceeded that of the Central Plains.

In addition to each official's share of Yongye Tian, ​​there are additional officials' Yongye Tian, ​​Xun Tian, ​​and Job Fen Tian, ​​and they can even receive benefits from the public farm.

Not to mention, through the development of trade and other industries, as well as commercial taxes, Luo Cheng made every government office rich.The money is still a three-point system, one point for staying in the county, one point for the upper county, and one point for the Jiedushi Yamen.

In each yamen, Luo Chengcheng deliberately left enough office money, and even arranged a sum of office expenses for officials at all levels.

Anyway, if you have money, everyone will distribute it together.

But Luo Cheng also has several prohibitions. First of all, it is forbidden for military officers to deduct and embezzle military expenses. This is strictly prohibited, and there will be no mercy if found out.

The government soldiers selected are not empty, as many as there are, and even Luo Cheng has to spend additional money to form a large number of county soldiers and township braves with good equipment.

Others may try to get some free space so that they can absorb some blood, but Luo Cheng is eager to get more soldiers.

So now the Zhongwu Army has a lot of 5 government soldiers, and there are nearly [-] county soldiers in addition, and the generals of each army also have some family members of their own, let alone Luo Cheng's adopted son There are quite a few battalions now, and all counties and counties still have village warrior regiments who are diligent in training and well equipped.

It can be said that now the entire Andong Road has initially formed a military landlord group headed by Yi Luocheng, from Jiedu envoys to Fubing, all of them are landlords.

The Liao people guard the Liao land, this is the consensus of the Zhongwu Army, they are the Liao people, and the Liao land belongs to them.
