Water Margin farming to become powerful

After the Supervisory Committee occupied the three states, it soon discovered that the defense levels of the neighboring states and counties had improved a lot, and Sun Xin's Supervisory Committee also faced the situation of isolation between the two places.

The three newly occupied prefectures and counties have become an enclave far away from Shandong. Fortunately, the three prefectures and counties all rely on the Yanshan Mountains. The terrain is dangerous and the city walls are strong enough to defend themselves.

After some deliberation, the Supervisory Committee determined that the forces of the Supervisory Committee in North China were temporarily unable to fight for more territory, so Sun Xin had no choice but to make a plan and maintain the current situation for the time being, stabilizing the base areas in the three states first.

In order to control the land of the three states, Sun Xin decided to newly establish the North China Supervisory Council. The original Yanjing Mansion was now renamed Youzhou and was established as the capital of the North China Supervisory Council.

After some weighing, Sun Xin gave Deng Fei the position of top leader in the North China base area.

Deng Fei's status within the Supervisory Committee is not the highest, but he is a candidate that can be accepted by different factions within the committee. Deng Fei's own experience accumulated in the Liao and Jin countries is enough for him to cope with this larger situation, and even more What's more, the entire North China Supervisory Committee team was established by Deng Fei. Now that they have achieved results, Deng Fei was suddenly replaced. It can't be justified.

After the North China Supervisory Committee sign was put up, Deng Fei's work began quickly in accordance with Sun Xin's instructions.

The initial goal of the North China base area is to exist in a stable and orderly manner, just existing is enough.

Anyway, according to the original historical development, it can be stable for a while after the Battle of Liao and Jin. The Jin Kingdom also needs to recuperate and digest the newly occupied land. As long as the North China base survives the next period of time, it will basically be able to survive in the next few years. ensure safety.

Sun Xin planned to establish the North China Supervisory Committee as a steel nail inserted by the Supervisory Committee south of the Great Wall. Deng Fei's most important job was to maintain the existence of the steel nail.

Therefore, a series of policies for the North China Managers Association are also formulated from the perspective of existence.

Originally in the Liao Kingdom, the Han land south of the Great Wall was the main source of finance and taxation for the Liao Kingdom, so the industry in this area was particularly developed.

But now that it is under the banner of the Supervisory Committee, the Supervisory Committee has no plans to receive much tax revenue from North China in the short term. Therefore, in the new plan for the North China base area, Sun Xin basically stopped industrial investment and organized all the people to cultivate land. Gather grain.

The land of the Khitan nobles who followed Yelu Dashi on the expedition was naturally expropriated by Sun Xin, and all of it was contracted as public land for the Supervisory Committee to be farmed by Zhuang Ke. Using the land distribution rights in his hands, Deng Fei quickly acquired three states. The people's support of the Han people in the county was improved, and at the same time, the landowners were won over to carry out food production.

Han skilled workers who were originally in the three prefectures and counties were brought to Shandong in batches for resettlement. At the same time, a large number of agricultural technicians from the Supervision Committee went to the sea from Dengzhou and Laizhou and came to the North China base area through a stop-by-stop relay method. Guide local agricultural production.

Packs of improved seeds were transported into the base area, and supporting fertilizer plants were quickly established.

Sun Xin's first plan for the North China Base Area was to build the North China Base Area into a combat readiness base with sufficient troops and food. As for industry, it can be slowed down for the time being. As long as the industrial level can maintain weapons production, it is enough. Anyway, the Liao Kingdom is now supervising The price of dumped cotton yarn is not high, and the smuggled cotton clothes worn by ordinary people are enough to keep warm.

After abolishing all the industries that were originally raised to increase production in the Liao Kingdom and some animal husbandry that served the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, Sun Xin expected that on the land in North China, he could grow enough food to feed the soldiers and people of the three states and counties and still be wealthy.In order to cooperate with all policies focusing on food production and war preparedness, the North China base area did not attack Han landlords, but instead tried to win over them.

In Shandong, landlords were the target of struggles that hindered industrial development. However, at this time, the relationship between landlords and tenant farmers among the Han people in the North China base area was a quite advanced production relationship. Compared with the slavery that the Khitans were accustomed to, it was much more efficient. , out of all considerations of winning, the policy of suppressing landlords was naturally delayed in implementation.

At the same time, the ethnic policy in the North China base area was also formulated. The policy of the Supervisory Committee in Shandong was mainly to promote the Han people's ideology and ask everyone to protect the country and the family. However, this kind of thinking is obviously not suitable in Liao Dynasty.

Under the management of the Khitan people for many years, although the three states in North China are still dominated by Han people, more than [-]% of the local people consider themselves Khitan and Xi tribes, and many of these people occupy the local gentry. They hold high social status, and some of them are even respected by Han Chinese landowners. They are a bit like southern scholar leaders.

So after studying the policies of Jinan Prefecture for a long time, Sun Xin decided to come up with a national unity policy

Of course, the suppression of the Khitan and Western nobles has been carried out rapidly since Deng Fei's arrival, and only the lower classes of these ethnic groups were united.

There are also a large number of nomadic tribes in these three prefectures and counties. Benefiting from Sun Xin, Deng Feixian led these tribes to adopt the method of dividing the land and relocating, and sent technicians to the villages of the Xi people to guide them to learn farming.

Nomadism in areas like Zhuozhou and Yizhou is a waste of natural resources. When Sun Xin first learned about it, he asked out of curiosity. After his cadres who came back from Liao learned about the situation, they realized that this was a compromise done by the Khitan people in order to win over the nobles of the Xi people. This method, while maintaining the nomadic nature of these peoples, also made it easier for the Khitans to divide and rule them and the Han people.

After learning this, Sun Xin decisively asked Deng Fei to allocate land to these tribes and use their pastures to cultivate. When the rainfall is sufficient, the output of the same piece of land for growing food is far more than for herding sheep. , the supply pressure of the three states and counties is already great enough, how can they be allowed to waste like this?

As for the Xi people and the Khitan people, the Supervisory Committee's actions did not arouse much resistance. They have different living styles in any environment. They have lived south of the Great Wall for several generations, and the Xi people do not know how to farm. It was better than the nomadic life, except that the Khitans did not allow them to cultivate the land before.

But they didn't expect that when the Supervisory Committee arrived, they would allocate fields to them and teach them how to farm.

And just like the effects of ethnic policies that Sun Xin, the previous generation, had learned from the information, after the implementation of the policy of ethnic equality, the Khitan and Xi aristocratic rebel forces that originally existed in the three states were suppressed almost immediately.

The pattern of production has changed, and the aristocratic system originally based on the nomadic system will naturally become less and less influential.

The base area also used the methods already used by the Supervisory Committee to divide the Khitan and Xi people into superior and inferior groups.

Deng Fei adopted methods such as selecting supervisors and dividing land in the villages of the Khitan and Xi people, which greatly reduced the power and economic capacity of the original tribal nobles. With their talents, they were drawn into the ranks of the Supervisory Committee, and new interest groups bound to the Supervisory Committee were quickly established among these ethnic groups.

After more than a month of implementation, the uprisings of the Khitan and Xi people in the three states were almost completely wiped out. The Xi people's rebels took the initiative to go down the mountain and expressed their willingness to surrender and requested peace and division of land. (End of chapter)
