Water Margin farming to become powerful

In the spring of the seventh year of Zhenghe, Sun Xin finally dealt with the situation in Shandong. After defeating Liangshan and taking down Dengzhou, the Supervisory Committee had no bigger plans for using troops in the short term.

Only then did he have time to look back to see what happened in the world, and soon Sun Xin was surprised to find that the situation in the world was quite different from the history of his previous life in his memory.

According to the news from Haizhou, Fang La has already revolted. In fact, Xie Zhen does not need to report to Sun Xin. Now Fang La's rebellion has become known all over the world.

The thriving Haizhou Supervisory Committee in Xie Zhen has stopped its development and turned to the defensive. On the one hand, it is guarding against being targeted by the court and Fang La, and on the other hand, it is actively waiting for Fang La's situation to change and then looking for opportunities to take advantage of it. opportunity.

The Fang La uprising in the history of the previous life will take place at least three years later, but in this time and space, it has been greatly advanced.

No matter how Sun Xin thinks about this matter, he feels that it should have nothing to do with him. Instead of increasing the burden on the Song court, his arrival has his own influence. Dengzhou's tax revenue is even more sufficient than before, no matter from which point of view you think your arrival will be beneficial to Zhao Ji's rule.

It stands to reason that Zhao Ji's tax requirements for Jiangnan should be lighter. Naturally, the situation of Jiangnan people being forced to rebel by officials should not be as serious as in the previous life. Why is the Fangla uprising caused by the collection of Huashigang earlier than before?

But on the other hand, according to the process of the Water Margin, the Fangla Uprising broke out after Liangshan was confiscated. Perhaps Sun Xin can only think about it because there is a considerable difference between the history of this time and space and the history of the Song Dynasty in his previous life. to explain the entry and exit.

Fang La's uprising made the imperial court extremely anxious, and Tong Guan was hastily transferred to the south, which was why the imperial court had no time to discuss Sun Xin's issue for a while.

On the other hand, after Jin Guo captured Huanglong Mansion in the north, he took advantage of the uprising of Gao Yongchang from Bohai in Liao State to grab a ready-made mansion and occupied Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion in Liao State.

On the map, the Kingdom of Jin has already occupied about the area of ​​the later Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. With their population and strength, they can't afford more territory. The current territory has also formed a relatively good strategic situation. There is no What was different from the place under attack, so he temporarily recuperated and began to negotiate peace with the Liao Kingdom.

The terms of the peace agreement offered by the Kingdom of Jin were quite strict, requiring the Kingdom of Liao to treat Jin as an elder brother, and to admit that the area occupied by the Kingdom of Jin was under his control on the territory. At the same time, the Liao Kingdom sent the descendants of the prince, princess and minister to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo as hostages.

According to the news that Deng Fei sent back from the front line, the two sides are now negotiating peace. It seems that the Liao Kingdom has no hope of fighting back at all. The war between them will start again in two or three years at most.

In the north, Deng Fei and Li San are also silently developing the influence of the Supervisory Council, but on the land of the Kingdom of Jin, their actions are very inconvenient. Now the influence of the Supervisory Council is still concentrated in the Luzhou area, and the core members of the Supervisory Council are The Han people in the Kingdom of Jin, as well as the low-level Xi people who wanted to go hunting in the mountains to supply furs to the Supervisory Council leather factory in Luzhou, plus some people who still don’t quite understand what the Supervisory Council does, but they just look at the money and make money. Among the Bohai people who joined, there were very few Jurchens.

However, as Jin Guo's control over Liaoyang became more and more stable, the power of the Supervisory Committee was slowly developing towards Yingzhou and other places.

Because of Wanyan Zonghan's relationship, the women's internal affairs still adopt a more cooperative attitude towards the development of the supervisory committee. Even so, Deng Fei has only established more than 20 supervisory committees in the north. Compared with the situation in Shandong, although it is still small play tricks.

There have also been discussions within the Supervisory Council, and it is generally believed that this is a crime other than war.

Only the production methods that require division of labor and cooperation have room for the Supervisory Committee to intervene. Although Jin Guo now controls a vast territory, except for some areas that can barely be called cities, most of them are still wastelands with white mountains and black waters. There is nothing at all. Too complex production content.

Production such as fishing and hunting is directly related to the war population, and it is an industry controlled by the Jurchen nobles. The Supervisory Committee cannot intervene, so there is naturally little room for expansion.

If the Supervisory Committee wants to develop further, it will have a chance only after relying on the Kingdom of Jin to conquer more large cities in the Kingdom of Liao.

In fact, as long as they go a little further south, they will be able to connect with Zeng Saihua's layout in Liao State in the Panjin area. There are already more than 50 supervisory committees there.

But once the Supervisory Council grows stronger, it will inevitably have some conflicts of interest with the upper echelons of the Jin Kingdom. At that time, the Supervisory Council in the Jin Kingdom will probably begin to prepare to go underground.

After understanding all these changes, Sun Xin keenly felt that he might not be stable for a long time, and he had to take advantage of this ambiguous period to develop himself rapidly.

The Supervisory Committee's control over the Third East Mansion has been very stable. This time when the soldiers went out, many piles have been laid in the surrounding area of ​​Yunzhou, and all the troops from the north to Qingzhou are all their own troops. Murong Yanda doesn't dare to go out of the city now. In the place where Kong Liang ravaged Baihu Mountain, there are now almost all the places where the flag of the Supervisory Committee is crossed.

Even relying on the supernatural power of beating bandits, many of the land that fled from famine was directly operated into the property of the Supervisory Committee, and the Supervisory Committee became fat in Qingzhou at once.

The mountains in Qingzhou are a good place to recruit soldiers, but Sun Xin pays more attention to another place that he passes through from Qinzhou to Yunzhou, which is called Zibo by later generations, and the area called Laiwujian at this time.

This place is the largest ironware production base in the Song Dynasty today, and there are eunuch assistants specially assigned. The Laiwu Supervisor is very important for the salt and iron income of the Northern Song Dynasty. With the expansion of the past, the Supervisory Council can already get involved in iron ore mining.

Although high-grade ores are still under the control of the imperial court for the time being, some low-grade ores can also be used by Sun Xin.

Tang Long has now arrived in Laiwu for preparations. The first phase of the iron-making workshop is expected to be jointly managed by five supervisory committees, which is even larger than the textile factories in Dengzhou and Zengtou. It provides full protection.

Now the location of the iron and steel factory has been determined. It is a mountain depression with a water source. It is still a barren hill, but once the workshop is completed, a large iron and steel factory will be enough to raise an urban area larger than Laiwujian.
