Chapter 292 How could this be? (Please subscribe)

A hundred years after the founding of Daqian, the situation of local land annexation has become quite serious.

As the population grew rapidly, the number of landless and landless people increased.

Not only did the number of tenants grow wildly, but also the number of hidden households increased rapidly.

Whenever there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is a tragic situation where refugees are everywhere. It is really easy to absorb the refugees.

Of course, at this time, the majesty of the Daqian court was still there, and the deterrent power of the local government offices was not small. For the time being, there was no situation where large-scale people were in dire straits.

As for the refugees, once the world gets better or the weather improves, they will disappear quickly, as if they had never appeared before, and the government and the court will not delve too deeply into their whereabouts.

This provided convenience for King Zhongshun to secretly absorb the population and quietly send it to Jeju Island outside the sea!

However, it is not that easy to manage simple refugees and refugee families.

Honesty must be quite honest. After all, you can have something to eat and fields to cultivate. Even if it is a field outside the sea, it is a land that grows food, right?

But as a refugee who has never experienced organizational training, his only remaining advantages are honesty and hard work.

As a result, the efficiency of the Chungshun County Prince's government in developing Jeju Island can only be said to be quite average.

This is on the premise that the palace provides all farm tools and seeds, as well as various living and production materials.

All I can say is that there is no harm without comparison!

It is an indisputable fact that the land under Jia Huan, who is also a farmer sent out, can be developed much faster and more efficiently.

In fact, Jia Huan sent even fewer men!

The Xue family caravan and Jia Huan joined forces, and the sea-going fleet on hand was less than one-third of the fleet owned by Prince Zhongshun, half of which was mainly for trade with Goryeo.

Therefore, Jia Huan and the Xue family caravans combined, and there was not much population that could be transported to the new territory.

As of now, he is only in his early 2,000s.

But with just such a small number of manpower, the development of the new territory was almost as much as the people sent by Prince Zhongshun. This fact was definitely difficult for Prince Zhongshun to accept.

After learning the news, Prince Zhongshun immediately inquired about the news and wanted to find out what was going on?

As a result, he suddenly realized what he was doing, and decided to imitate Jia Huan's behavior.

In fact, to put it bluntly, there is nothing new. The men sent out by Jia Huan are all tenants who have been trained for a long time in the fourteen farms affiliated to Ning Rong's second mansion.

Of course, it is not accurate to say tenants, but rather refugee families that have been admitted one after another over the years.

These refugee families have experienced organizational training. They not only cultivate the land, but also build water conservancy facilities and other tasks, and already have a certain degree of organization.

By sending them out to sea one after another, the speed and efficiency of land development will naturally be faster.

Not only that, their loyalty to Jia Huan and their cohesion are not comparable to that of the newly admitted refugee group.

Even the combat effectiveness has been tempered, and it is not much worse than the decayed and dilapidated local garrison in Daqian.

After Prince Zhongshun learned this, he was quite shocked!

They must have never thought that the farm outside the city could have such a huge effect.

As a dignified county prince, although the number of farms in his hands is not comparable to that of Rongfu, it is still comparable to Ning Yu.

The most important thing is that the palace also owns more farms in other places!

Ning Rong's Second Mansion cannot, after all, its influence is extremely limited.

Even in its heyday, Zhuangzi was established in the border area, but in his hometown of Jinling, he could only set up sacrificial fields.

It’s not that I don’t have the money to buy a farm, but I’m worried that future generations won’t be able to control it!

On the other hand, I don’t want to attract special attention from the royal family!

Seeing that the manpower sent by Jia Huan was quite capable and efficient, Prince Zhongshun naturally began to imitate it.

It's just that the time is too short and the effect is not very obvious.

Prince Zhongshun had no choice but to face such a situation. Sometimes when discussing with his subordinates, he couldn't help but sigh: "That boy Jia Huan, the efficiency of using the resources at hand is too high!"

"In the future, all farms affiliated with the royal family must learn from this guy, even the newly developed fields on Jeju Island are no exception!"

Only by understanding the farm under Jia Huan's control in more detail can we realize how amazing the resources Jia Huan has and how enviable their utilization efficiency is.

In terms of farm production alone, it is no exaggeration to say that any farm managed by Jia Huan is comparable to two other farms of the same size, or even more. It is not an exaggeration.

Not only does it grow rice and wheat, but it also produces poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese, as well as livestock such as pigs, cattle and sheep, which is quite exaggerated.

It can be said that the farm under Jia Huan can accommodate a larger number of people, and the quality of life is not bad at all. This is his real ability.

In short, in terms of farm management model alone, Prince Zhongshun’s Mansion is nothing compared to it!

After careful study by Prince Zhongshun and his confidants, it became increasingly clear that Jia Huan's management skills were quite impressive.

The final conclusion is that Jia Huan is definitely a rare talent with both civil and military skills!

If it were not for the serious lack of resources at hand, there would be no need to cooperate with Prince Chungshun. The family alone could occupy Jeju Island and build it well in a short period of time.

Such speculation was difficult for Prince Zhongshun to accept for a while!

Doesn't that mean he directly admits that his abilities are not as good as those of a young boy like Jia Huan?

It seems like I have lived like a dog for decades before. It’s so uncomfortable!

But as time went by, Prince Zhongshun gradually acquiesced to this fact, otherwise what else could he do?

It’s not like he and his confidants haven’t thought about it! It would be very difficult for one's own family to fully develop Jeju Island, as King Chungshun already knew.

If we just transport materials and manpower through the fleet, we can barely bear it even though it costs a lot.

The key is that they have to find ways to stir up trouble in the court and cause a certain amount of turmoil in the court, so that the current and court bosses have no time and energy to pay attention to their own actions.

This is definitely playing with fire, and you may burn yourself if you are not careful.

Whenever you take action, no matter how careful you are, you will inevitably leave traces in the end!

If Jin Jin is aware of the real purpose of the palace, he may be directly picked off.

Prince Zhongshun already has several adult sons, and there are even more adult sons now!

If there were overseas territories where an adult son could be arranged, such an opportunity would certainly not be missed today.

If such a situation really happened, Prince Zhongshun would probably want to die.

In short, despite the fact that Prince Zhongshun has been quite prosperous in the court in the past year or two, he lives a very cautious life and does not dare to relax even a day.

Under such circumstances, it is impossible to have a conflict with a powerful ally like Jia Huan.

Not to mention the "big move" mentioned by Jia Huan, it is obvious that even if we maintain the current development efforts on Jeju Island, we cannot ignore Jia Huan's power.

The power of Prince Zhongshun is quite impressive, especially when he has actual evidence in hand.

Within two days, under the impeachment of the censor, Jinggang Fury directly dismissed the post of Shanggu Prefecture, the capital of Zhili, and sent troops from the Jinyi Mansion to capture him personally.

It happened that Jia Lian had already started to take action. With the acquiescence of the current and Zhongshun palaces, he was directly decentralized and became the prefect of Shanggu.

When the news reached Rong Mansion, there was another uproar.

The old lady was naturally in a very unhappy mood. After Jia Lian left the office, she greeted him directly. At the same time, Mr. Zheng was also greeted.

"Lian'er, why wasn't you notified of such a big matter in advance?"

After Jia Lian and Mr. Zheng paid their respects, the old lady directly spoke out: "Isn't it too hasty to suddenly decentralize the place?"

"Old lady, this opportunity is really rare!"

Jia Lian replied: "If I hadn't moved quickly enough, where would I have gotten?"

"After all, it's a promotion, and it's not that far away from the capital. As long as you make some achievements, it's easy to return to the capital. The old lady doesn't have to worry!"

The old lady was angry. Was she worried? Why did Jia Lian, who had been in the officialdom for so long, not be able to understand the implication of her words? It seemed that he was getting more and more back.

In fact, how could Jia Lian fail to hear what the old lady meant?

However, with the current situation in Rong Mansion, there is no need to care too much about the old lady's opinion, and there is no intention to deal with it. Otherwise, with his cleverness and eloquence, he could easily make the old lady smile.

"Second brother, what do you think?"

The old lady was a little dissatisfied with Jia Lian's attitude and turned to look at Master Zheng.

"It's a good thing!"

What else could Master Zheng say, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Lian'er is not from a serious imperial examination background after all. At the current situation, every step forward is quite difficult!"

When I said this, I couldn't help but think of my own situation, and my mood was not very good.

He also wanted to make progress, but it was a pity that after working hard for so long, he never got what he wanted.

But each of his sons and nephews was making rapid progress, and his mouth felt bitter when he spoke.

How did he know that neither the old lady nor Mrs. Wang mentioned anything about him when they went to the palace to see Yuan Chun, which made Yuan Chun think that Mr. Zheng was doing well.

As for Jia Huan, arrangements have not been made yet, otherwise he would have been in charge long ago.

In other words, Mr. Zheng didn't care much about the affairs in the house, otherwise he would have heard some rumors, and the old lady and Mrs. Wang had no intention of hiding it.

I guess if he knew about it, he might not know what he would think.

Although Mr. Zheng's current mood can't be said to be depressed, he can't be said to be happy either.

The old lady asked him for his opinion and made a few casual remarks to get over it.

Although he noticed that the old lady was not very happy, he was not in the mood to make her laugh, nor did he have the ability or ability to do so, so he might as well forget it.

No, the old lady felt that her mood was waning before she said a few words, and then waved her hand to drive away Mr. Zheng and Jia Lian.

After Rongqing Hall became quiet, the old lady looked disappointed and murmured to herself: "Why did it become like this? How did it become like this?"

Yuanyang, who had been standing next to him, was heartbroken, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him.
