A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 109 Zhang Yanjing Village
Facing the opportunity to select Fubing, no one refused.

The hospital battalion was lucky enough to have two thousand soldiers and assistants, all of whom were stamped and stamped. They eagerly joined the Datang Military Mansion and became a glorious mansion soldier.

Tongjun Mansion was called Yingyang Mansion in the Sui Dynasty, and it was called Huqi Mansion and Cheqi Mansion in the early Tang Dynasty.

"General Wuzhen, Hospital Town is in charge of guarding Yanjing Village."

Qin Xingqi, the governor of Weizhou, came to announce the order of the governor of Qinzhou. This Qin Xingqi is also a fellow from the east of the Wu family. Qin Xingshi, the governor of Qinzhou, is his elder brother and a veteran of Taiyuan Yuancong.

Maybe it's because they're all from Hedong, or maybe it's because the Qin and Wu families are both Li Yuanyuan's followers, so Qin Xingqi's attitude towards Huaiyu is very close.

"Yanjingzhai is a good place. In the pre-Qin period, wells were dug to boil salt. There was Zhangyan first, and then there was Zhangxian County. Now there are three salt wells in Yanjingzhai that were dug in the Qin Dynasty and have been in use until now. You know When Yanjing Village is at its busiest, how much profit does it make from producing salt a day?"

He stretched out his hand and made an eight.

"The quality of Yanjingzhai's salt is excellent, it is the top grade of green salt, and its daily salt production can make a profit of [-] horses."

A horse in Chang'an costs twenty to thirty thousand yuan. Even if the land here is not worth much, it must be worth a few guan. The salt produced a day can be worth one or two thousand guan?
That's a cornucopia.

"The valley of the Weihe River in Longyou, the Fuqiang Salt Spring City in Qinzhou, the Yanguan City in Chengzhou, and the Yanjingzhai in Zhang County, Weizhou. These three places have the best salt production, high yield, and the easiest transportation. The whole Longyou, and even exported to Guanzhong, Shannan, Bashu, and many Qiang and Yi tribes also eat this salt."

Zhang salt belongs to well salt, but it can be mined from the pre-Qin period to the present. The biggest advantage is that the salt well is connected to the salt spring, and the brine is alive. The three salt wells are still in use for more than a thousand years, and they are still only two feet deep.

It is very convenient to get the brine, and there is an endless supply. You can get the best green salt by boiling it day and night.

Take the salt water and pour it into a large pot to boil for about six hours. Fifty catties of water can produce about fourteen to five catties of salt.During the Taiping period of the Sui Dynasty, there were hundreds of salt-boiling workshops here, and the salt-boiling industry also drove the salt trade, and many surrounding people provided firewood here.

Along the Zhangshui River Valley, there is a caravan salt road heading west into Minxia Bashu, called the Zhangmin Salt Road. Caravan salt vendors pass by this road every day.

"Salt is very important to Weizhou, and even to Longyou, especially now that there are constant wars and lack of military use," Qin Xingqi told Huaiyu. Because of the continuous wars in the past few years, the salt industry in Yanjing Village has been greatly affected. The Shaoqiang people also started to set up the idea of ​​Yanjingzhai and Zhangmin Salt Road. Some small Qiang tribes directly robbed and plundered the salt road, killing people, stealing salt and robbing people.

Some large tribes even directly attacked Yanjingzhai and Zhang County.

The hospital town was newly established and stationed in Yanjingzhai. Its mission is to protect the salt boiling industry in Yanjingzhai, protect the Yanmin salt road, protect the salt trading industry, and restore the Tang-Fan salt-horse market in Zhangxian County.

Weizhou cannot lose Yanyan, just like the West cannot...
There are too many interests involved in a Yanjing village, the taxation of the imperial court, the interests of the local tyrants who make salt and sell salt, the army even needs the salt from the salt well and some smuggling.

Now the Turks are messing around in Longyou, and the Qiang tribes are taking the opportunity to plunder, making Yanjing Village deserted, and there are fewer caravans on the Yandao. If this continues, everyone can't stand it.

Weizhou's four commanding military mansions had [-] mansion soldiers in their heyday, and they were still able to deter the Qiangs.In the past, the Qiang people on the Mintao side dared to make trouble, especially the Xiqiang people to the west of the Tao River and near the Tuyuhun to make trouble.

But now, there is chaos in Longyou, and most of the Weizhou government soldiers are out. The Qiang people can't hold back. Even if Chai Shaogang defeated Tuyuhun and Dangxiang, they are still in chaos.

Now that the Turkic people have been driven away, but Longyou needs money and food to recover. Where does the money and food come from? Salt is an important source.

"The Governor's Mansion hopes that General Wu can select a good team as soon as possible, and enter Yanjing Village as soon as possible."

"I can't afford it anymore."

Qin Changshi brought a batch of grain and grass, and also sent some sheep, implying that the next batch of supplies would be collected by Yanjingzhai.

In the big camp,
The scene of 2000 people being selected as Fubing together is very spectacular.

"Take a fingerprint here." Ma Zhou said with a smile.

Hou San solemnly spit and wiped his thumb clean, then wiped his clothes several times, and finally dipped the red clay into the ink pad sacredly, and then carefully and seriously aimed at the form. Pressed his fingerprints.

He couldn't read, let alone write his name, and this handprint represented him, Hou San.

As soon as the handprint is pressed, he is a member of the samurai family, a pariah who does not even have a household registration, this person who once rebelled because of hunger, was a horse thief in troubled times, was captured by the army and became a slave, and finally attached to the samurai family as a member of the family, 40 When he was young, he became a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

This time he came to the Longyou battlefield as a trilogy of Huaiyi, just like he had followed the warrior Ke on the battlefield many times before.

He never thought that one day he would become a soldier of the Tang Dynasty.

To be honest, since he was awarded to the warrior as a slave, Lao Wu has treated him very well, and he has been loyal for many years, and even recited Lao Wu from the pile of dead people more than once.The old Wu Ze married him, gave him a cave to live in, and even gave him [-] acres of land for farming.

"Congratulations Uncle Hou, you are now a soldier of the Weizhou Commander's Mansion under the right guard."

As he said that, Huaiyu handed him another letter of confession, which was a military post from the ninth rank, which was awarded to Hou San as the deputy of the command army.

"I am an official?"

"Well, Chief Chai took over the title and granted it to you on behalf of the court. This is also a reward for your achievements in two battles. You jumped and charged with your brother, broke through the enemy camp, and cut back three enemy heads in two battles." , brought back five horses, seized two pairs of armor, and captured a Turkic cavalryman. These military exploits are very impressive. During your first battle in Wu Shanchuan, beating the drums to help out greatly boosted morale."

Hou San stretched out his hands trembling, but he didn't dare to take them.

"This is what you sacrificed your life for, and it should be."

"I'm just an appendix."

"The enemy's knives and arrows on the battlefield don't distinguish between officers, soldiers, and slaves. You don't have to pay for killing captives. This time, Chief Chai also acted fairly and rewarded you on behalf of the court."

He thrust the confession directly into his hand.

It's okay for Huaiyu to become a military officer in his family, but for others, this impact is huge.

The rewards received by the hospital camp this time are indeed rare, and Chai Shao is more courageous, and he directly becomes a soldier of the Weizhou government, even regardless of his children, tribes, or civilian husbands, he will be rewarded for his contributions, even officials.

"It's a pity that Xin Zhao is not here." Chen Xing sighed to Huai Yu,
Xin Zhao is the one who desires to make contributions the most. Huaiyu also admires Xin Zhao after learning about his life experience. When Xin Zhao was only four years old, his father died, and when he was seven years old, his mother died again. His younger sister survived by begging. When she was young, she robbed big beggars for food, and even dogs. She even wanted to be both a father and a mother for her three-year-old younger sister.

In this way, she survived tenaciously, and her younger sister finally became Wu Junya's concubine. He became a dentist, and his life was easier. He also married a wife and had children, but he still longed to make contributions.

After being seriously injured, he once entrusted his wife and children to Huaiyu. He said that he was a lowly businessman and only wanted to do his best for his wives and children.

Xin Zhao is now recuperating in Longxi City, and missed this rare scene.

"That guy is also very lucky, his intestines fell out, but he is not dead or disabled, so he will be able to take care of him." He followed Huaiyu to work diligently and flexibly. He was a team member of Huaiyu Hospital Camp early on. Huaiyu strongly recommends him for his meritorious deeds, and Xin Zhao finally got Cao Canjun, a soldier from the hospital town.

"That's great. After this guy comes, he will definitely kowtow to Erlang to thank him."

Well, it's really not too much to kowtow.Chen Xing also got the hospital township, and Cao joined the army from the eighth rank. After he got this position, he knelt down and kowtowed to Huaiyu to thank Huaiyu.

One has to take care of one's own people. Everyone has selfishness.

Ma Zhou, who has quit drinking for a while, now wants to drink very much, and has a strong desire to get drunk. It is not because of alcohol addiction, but because his heart is agitated and the excitement is uncontrollable.

On the surface, he forced himself to be calm, but the trembling hands when he took over the appointment betrayed his heart.

The hospital town recorder joined the army, and was dismissed from the eighth grade. His responsibilities were in charge of documents, supervision of talismans, supervision of treatment offices, and correction of wrongdoings.

After traveling westward to Beijing for several years, he got nothing, and he couldn't even pay for the food and lodging of the poor. Even the merchants laughed at him.Now, he has become a Cong Bapin.Thinking back when he was a low-level teaching assistant in Bozhou, Dr. Zhou looked down on him very much, how contemptuous and mocking he was, but Dr. Zhou was only a grade nine, and he had already surpassed him.

Registration, bookkeeping, formation.

For three consecutive days, the camp outside Xiangwu City was extremely noisy. Fortunately, within three days, the soldiers of Xindian Prefecture were finally incorporated into the Sitong Army Mansion of Weizhou. The frontier army was also drawn from the four commanding army mansions,
They will be on duty in the hospital town, and they will rotate after one year, which is much longer than the time spent in Beijing Suwei Fan.But the five hundred soldiers drawn had no complaints, especially those former hospital battalion soldiers who followed Huaiyu.

There are [-] frontier troops in Hospital Town, [-] crossbowmen, [-] spear and shield soldiers, and [-] cavalry.

After the hospital army was changed to a hospital town, the number dropped greatly, but Huaiyu didn't care that he changed from the general manager of the hospital army to the general of the hospital town.

Huaiyu had to go to Yanjing Village immediately, regardless of the granting of land and naturalization.

The plan is to rush to Longxi County first, and go upstream at the mouth of the Xinxing Chuanzhang River where they fought last time, about 120 miles.Although there is a small road from Weizhou to Zhang County that is only [-] miles away, but to cross the mountains and ridges has to pass through some Qiang tribes, Huaiyu would rather walk more.
