Three hundred and ninetieth chapters Dorgon's means
Another advantage of Invalid Army Farm is that it has a very close relationship with the army. The army's purchases were enough to consume the agricultural and sideline products that they had in the first few years, which were not large in scale and in small quantities.
Once the military stamps are printed, they are called money when they are spent, and they are called currency when they are circulated. How can the economy develop in such a stagnant state?
Mao Wenlong, Chen Jisheng and others obviously did not understand this truth very well. They still had some doubts about the printing and issuance of military notes, fearing that they would repeat the mistakes of historical treasure notes.
In the past, it was issued based on the repayment ability to meet military expenses; now, in Guo Dajing's view, the scale of investment can be increased.
Today is different from the past. The territory is larger, the population is larger, and the total social and economic value has increased. Of course, military tickets can be issued in larger quantities.
As for the deposit, does the fertile land count, does the purchased cattle, sheep, horses, chickens, ducks and poultry count, does the grain in the warehouse count?
Although Guo Dajing had such an analysis and judgment and was not worried that the incremental issuance of military bills would lead to substantial depreciation and inflation, he did not make any further comments.
Maybe this matter will be brought up in the conversation with Mao Wenlong and Chen Jisheng, but it will only be touched upon so as not to be misunderstood that he has a hand in everything.
After all, if there is a shortage of military stamps, causing inconvenience in market circulation, the reaction of the people will be known to the higher authorities, and it will be too late to remedy the situation.
After plowing the last ridge of fields, Guo Dajing and Shen Dalong took a short break and continued to chat about the development of the farm.
This is also a test field for Guo Dajing. Not only disabled soldiers, but retired soldiers can also establish similar organizations in the future.
Later generations had the Production and Construction Corps, and Guo Dajing prepared to launch it, vigorously developing the vast black land in the Northeast, and making the history of the Northeast feeding back to the Central Plains happen earlier.
In Guo Dajing's vision, only the south of the Yangtze River and the Northeast can provide him with the material foundation to conquer the world. And the most certain and easiest place is the Northeast, which will become his solid foundation.
In three years, we strive to achieve a small goal, which is to pacify Liao and eliminate the rebels; in ten years, we strive to achieve great governance in Liaodong, which must have a population of at least one million and food supplies that can provide relief to tens of millions of people...
If the conditions are not met, Guo Dajing will be cautious about raising troops to enter the customs.
It is not difficult to annihilate the rebel army, but what can be done to appease the hungry people? If the root cause of the civil unrest is not eliminated, the Dongjiang Army will eventually be trapped in the flames of war all over the place. Exhausted from running for their lives, defeat may be inevitable.
Therefore, Guo Dajing must calm down and do his best to run Liaodong well, and use this to establish an effective standardized system and cultivate a group of new management talents.
"The farm has mountains, forests, arable land and ponds. Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishery, etc. can develop in an all-round way and promote each other." Guo Dajing looked around with longing, "As long as the planning is good, this will be a model farm and become a model farm for others."
An example to learn from.”
Shen Dalong had some enlightenment. It turned out that the farm is not only farming, but also has so many ways to operate. It sounds like a lot, but it is not difficult to understand. It just means adapting to local conditions and making effective use of it.
For example, fruit trees can be planted on mountains and poultry, cattle and sheep can be raised; fish, ducks and geese can be raised in ponds; potatoes can not only be eaten, but can also be used to make wine; peanuts and melon seeds can be squeezed for oil, and the by-products are not only edible by humans, but also the essence of livestock.
Feed etc...
As long as you open your mind, there will be many ways. Nothing more than food and drink, which are also methods that ordinary people use to improve their lives. But when they are combined and scaled up, it makes a huge difference.
"I have remembered what your Excellency said." Shen Dalong bowed his hands respectfully and admiringly, and said, "It would be better if it could be compiled into a book."
Guo Dajing smiled and said: "This is a matter for the government. I have also made suggestions. They should send people to guide the people to carry out diversified operations in agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, sideline fishery, and villages and towns as a unit."
For ordinary people, improving their lives and increasing their income is naturally a good thing. However, the situation in each state is different, and the government may focus on the Golden State.
After all, Jinzhou was the earliest to be recovered, almost two years ago. The people have more or less financial resources and are relatively confident in the harvest of new crops.
Fuzhou has resettled the largest number of new immigrants, mainly for stability. The government will also advise people to plant more crops and ensure food and clothing first.
The government is no stranger to the work of persuading farmers. They should have had experience when they promoted the planting of potatoes, rye, and corn.
What's more, ordinary people who are accustomed to the self-sufficient small-scale farmer economy also have their own calculations. In their own fields, they usually plant a small amount of cash crops for household use.
For example, almost every family has a vegetable patch, and they don't consider selling it. They have enough to eat at home, and they can store some in winter, so they won't be able to grow a variety of vegetables.
Another example is that more and more people are raising poultry, but they don't raise a lot. The idea is to eat an egg occasionally, and stew one for the whole family during the New Year and festivals.
To form an industry, it needs to be scaled up. In Guo Dajing's view, currently there are only the army and large institutions like the Invalids Farm.
Of course, ordinary people also have production supplies that they must buy, such as salt, seasonings, sugar, wine, and even tea as their living standards improve.
In general, it will take some time to make the economy more prosperous and the circulation of goods more abundant. People need to first accumulate wealth and have spare money in their hands.
From the economic and social gap between the north of the Ming Dynasty and the south of the Yangtze River, we can clearly understand the key points.
"Sir, let's go have dinner at home. I asked Xingzi to prepare fish and chicken." Shen Dalong respectfully and expectantly extended an invitation to Guo Dajing.
Guo Dajing pondered for a moment, nodded, and said with a smile: "It's not good for you to spend money, and it's too unreasonable to give money. In this way, I will buy a few old hens and give them to the farm. Chickens lay eggs, and eggs lay chickens. From now on, I will often
Come and eat.”
"It's my honor for you to come to the farm often. It's a blessing that no one else can hope for." Shen Dalong smiled and took the cow and led Guo Dajing towards the village.
………………
Compared with the prosperity under Dongjiang Town, the area under Jianlu's rule was in a very depressed state.
Although Jianlu also knew the importance of spring plowing, the tragic failure of entering the Pass through a detour made the famine even more serious. If they wanted to cultivate, they were even short of seeds.
After a confrontation of hard and soft tactics, Dorgon became the Khan King as he wished. The compromise he made was to restore the system of the Eight Banners and Zhu Beile discussing state affairs together in the Lao Nu period.
At the same time, in order to settle Amin and Hauge, Dorgon had to accept the suggestion of the four Baylors to sit facing south together like Huang Taiji.
In order to check and balance Amin and Hauge, among the four Baylors, Dorgon won a position for his brother Azig.
If the swordsmen meet, the two white flags of the Dorgon brothers, plus the two red flags of Daishan's son Barama and Mandahai, and the blue flag of Manggurtai's son Maidali, can completely defeat Amin and Hao.
The three flags and horses in Ge's hands.
But Dorgon knew very well that during this difficult period, internal strife would make Hou Jin even weaker and completely lose his ability to compete with the Dongjiang Army.
Glancing at the ministers below, and out of the corner of his eye, he also caught sight of the new three Baylors sitting next to him. Dorgon felt the same helplessness as Huang Taiji.
Although Zhenghan Wang got his wish, the feeling of being tied up was really irritating and depressing. Dorgon, who was like a mountain and dominated by himself, also set a goal for himself in this position.
"I am reporting to the King of Khan that more than ten families from the Haraqin tribe have fled to Guangning, hoping to graze and recuperate here." Li Yongfang reported the latest information.
After Hudauntu was sure that Huang Taiji was dead, Houjin suffered heavy losses, and even the Mongolian tribes that followed him into the pass and plundered also suffered heavy losses, they finally started jumping around again.
Coupled with the bait of the Ming court setting up a horse market outside Xifengkou, Hu Duntu led his troops back east, first snatching the pasture land of Alukorqindalaichuhuer in the Xilamulun River, which had been paid with gold, and merging it with Sai.
The tribe of Leng Abahai.
Later, he led his troops to attack thirty-six families outside Jizhen, and with the force of autumn wind sweeping the leaves, he defeated all the Mongolian tribes who opposed him and surrendered money.
Thirty-six families either surrendered or fled, and the vast grasslands outside Ji Town were all taken under the rule by Huduntu.
When they were attacked by Hu Duntu, the Thirty-Six Family also sent people to ask for help from Hou Jin. But at that time, Hou Jin was in a tense fight for the position of King Khan, and there was no care for their lives.
"Since you are unwilling to surrender to Hu Duntu, and you have not surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, you should gather them and use them for my future use." Dorgon said slowly: "What do you think?"
Amin, Hauge and others all agreed that this was not a big deal, and Guangning was deserted anyway. Besides, the failure to send troops to assist had already disappointed the Mongolian tribes. Accepting it now can be regarded as a remedy.
After Dorgon dealt with the matter, he asked again: "Is there any progress in raising and borrowing food?"
Jierhalang smiled bitterly and said: "North Korea said that there was a famine last year, and nine out of ten warehouses were empty. It really couldn't come up with food to provide relief."
North Korea's attitude has changed, which should be expected. Although the famine described by North Korea is indeed serious, it is not such that not even a grain of food can be produced.
Not breaking the alliance was the maximum that North Korea could tolerate. As Hou Jin showed decline and the Zhenjiang area was occupied by the Dongjiang Army, North Korea was not too afraid of Hou Jin's next conquest.
Amin snorted and sneered: "It seems that North Korea has forgotten the pain of being conquered. The attack last time was not harsh enough. We should have attacked Ganghwa Island, captured its king, and forced him to surrender completely, or directly
Only by destroying his country."
Amin came up with something that was completely impossible. One was to show off his military exploits, and the other was to complain about Huang Taiji.
Du Du glanced at A Min and said to himself: You idiot, haven't you suffered enough losses in North Korea? Are you still thinking about being independent in North Korea?
Hauge curled his lips and said: "North Korea has a barren land and poor people, and it is useless to occupy it. Our Dajin troops are limited. If we are trapped in North Korea, it will be in the hands of Jiang Jun."
Dorgon waved his hand and said: "There is indeed a famine in North Korea. After one year of recovery, if it is still disobedient, we will send troops to conquer it."
This is a tit-for-tat confrontation to suppress Amin and Hauge. Dorgon no longer has the desire to attack North Korea. With the current strength, it is difficult to deal with the Dongjiang Army, so how can he have free hands and feet?
"From Horqin and other tribes, as well as more than a dozen newly arrived Mongolian tribes, we have obtained more than a hundred stones of grain in silk and silk, which should be barely enough for this year's spring plowing." Jilhalang looked at Dorgon and added.
Dorgon breathed a sigh of relief and said in a deep voice: "We, the Manchus, built our country on horseback and archery, and fishing and hunting are ancestral skills. As long as we survive this most difficult period and have food and grass, our army will be able to launch at the right time. No matter it is
It is not difficult to reverse the situation by attacking Hu Duntu from the west, conquering North Korea from the east, or confronting the Dongjiang Army."
At this point, all we can do is say nice words to prop up the depressed people and boost morale. Without the proceeds from plunder, Jianlu has lost the material basis for a large-scale launch.
When it comes to fishing and hunting, it is indeed a means of survival, but it is nothing more than that. Even the Mongols can barely make ends meet by doing half farming and half herding. If the Jianlu returned to the age of fishing and hunting, there would be no development.
"Spring plowing is very important. In addition to the necessary security forces, the military and civilians must go all out to cultivate as much land as possible." Dorgon said: "If we can revive the country, we will plow and harvest in this year's spring.
You all work together to overcome the difficulties and make our Daikin stand strong."
Azig nodded vigorously and said loudly: "If the skin does not exist, where will the hair be? Dajin is our root. Strength is our blessing, and decline is a disaster. If we cannot unite sincerely, do we have to retreat to the future?
In a bitter cold land, do you regret it when you are precarious?"
Jierhalang echoed: "Now we, Daikin, are enemies from all directions, and the situation is as bad as ever. If we still only think about the interests of ourselves and our banner, if we, Daikin, are defeated, who can survive alone?"
Dudu, Maidali and others all expressed their agreement, and even Amin and Haoge had nothing to say. With their strength, if there was internal strife, Houjin would surely decline irreversibly, and they would not be able to do well.
Dorgon smiled and nodded, and said: "The King of Khan intends to mobilize the elites of each banner. Each banner will first send out two thousand troops to form two mobile troops. If there is a war, they will be dispatched immediately. There is no need to mobilize again, and there is no need to
Draw a certain flag."
Scanning the crowd, Dorgon continued: "With these two mobile troops, the rest of the troops can rest assured to farm. The two troops are led by Azig and Jilhalang, with Dudu and Turge as deputy.
What do you think?"
Fundamentally weakening the independence of the Eight Banners and turning them into the national army of the Later Jin Dynasty is the same as Huang Taiji's vision.
But Dorgon's method was gentler than Huang Taiji's, and it was easier for the banner owners to compromise and agree.
Needless to say, Azig, Jirharang is Amin's younger brother, and Turge is the general of the two yellow flags, ranking among the eighth ministers.
Dorgon's arrangement was to take care of the interests of the other three Baylors as much as possible. But in fact, it weakened the strength of each banner and took a big step towards the nationalization of the army.
Hauge hesitated and said nothing for a while. If he strives for the command of the mobile troops, who can he trust with the two yellow flags? When leading troops on an expedition, there may be problems with the control of the two yellow flags.
What a fool to throw away the two yellow flags in his hands for the sake of two thousand men and horses! Hauge figured it out, but did not express his stance easily.
