Even if a bank is established, the shogunate still needs "principal", and it cannot afford not to pay out any money.
But with the current financial situation, how can there be any spare money? I can’t say, but I still have to think of a way.
Hexi Dangxiang who disobeys discipline? Uighur? Amo?
Shao Shude tapped his fingers lightly on his deputy, and gradually he had an idea in his mind. At this year's twelfth lunar month of the Heaven Sacrifice Assembly, he would have a good talk with the chiefs of the tribes.
"Regarding the matter of the bullocks, I will find a solution as soon as possible." Shao Shude stood up and said to Li Shao: "There is still half a year until the spring sowing in March next year. During this half year, Li Pushe will have to work harder and try his best to do a good job.
Prepare. Next year, we will try our best to get as many cattle as possible. Unfortunately, even if the three-crop rotation system is implemented, it will take another three years to see big profits."
It's really not that easy to do things. Although he knew that the three-crop rotation system was very suitable for areas like the Northwest, which had fewer people, more land, many livestock, no powerful local families, and no complicated land property rights, he still did not dare to ignore it. He still had to
Do a pilot first and then slowly roll it out.
He is now the ruler of more than a million Han people, and he has to be responsible for them. Everything must be carefully considered. If anything goes wrong, the interests of hundreds of thousands of people will be harmed.
I cannot afford to let down hundreds of thousands of people.
"Since the commander has made up his mind, let's do it this way." Li Shao said: "Anyway, I think this method is good, especially suitable for Xia Sui, Shuofang, Helong and other places. If it is changed to Hebei, Hedong, Huainan,
In places like the south of the Yangtze River and the middle of Shu, even if there are enough cattle, it is probably impossible to do it. There are a lot of generals and aristocratic families, and it is too difficult to take the land away from them. "
Shao Shude smiled when he heard this. Li Shao's family also owned a lot of land in Hedong. He was deeply impressed by the complicated land property rights in the area. Military leaders, large and small, controlled most of the land, and the aristocratic families and temples then divided up the rest.
Land. The only ones who really control the farmland for self-cultivation may be the families of soldiers, but it is equally difficult for them to buy land.
Starting in the northwest, it is an invisible benefit that there is no aristocratic family that controls a large amount of land.
This place has been in chaos since the Middle Tang Dynasty. Anyone who buys land here is simply crazy. This gives Marshal Shao a chance to draw on a blank sheet of paper, and also gives the newly arrived immigrants from Guandong a chance to obtain land where they can settle down and live.
"This must be General Fu. He is neither humble nor silent. He has a calm demeanor and has the appearance of a general." Shao Shude turned his attention to Fu Cunshen and said.
"A small garrison general in Huaizhou cannot be praised by the King of Lingwu County." Fu Cunshen replied.
He didn't look flattered, nor did he react rebelliously. This Fu Cunshen was indeed extraordinary in terms of character and demeanor.
In several confidential letters to himself, Pei Tong also mentioned that Fu Cunshen's performance along the way was indeed remarkable. This made him love talents and wanted to take Fu Cunshen into his account.
In today's world, there are many fierce people who dare to fight. Words like fearless death, unstoppable courage, and bravery to defeat the three armies can be applied to many people. But this is not the talent he is looking for. He is now
We need generals who can stand alone, not strong generals who charge into battle.
A person who can stand alone may be called a handsome person. This kind of person has always been in short supply in all major forces.
In the future, the territory will become larger and larger, there will be more and more soldiers, and wars will become more and more frequent. Wouldn't it be exhausting if you conquered everything yourself? If you have a handsome man you can trust, then you can hand over the battlefield in a certain direction to him.
He has full command and serves his great cause.
After counting the army in trouble, Lu Huaizhong and Yang Yue were the only ones who single-handedly led the entire battle. When Lao Lu was conquering Lingzhou, he single-handedly led the partial army, but there were only six or seven thousand men, which is not proof.
own.
Yang Yue can indeed be regarded as a handsome man. He commanded more than 20,000 Tibetan and Han troops, won consecutive battles, and conquered two states. He has proven himself. But after reviewing his tactics, Shao Shude was a little uneasy. He always felt that his fighting style
It's too much and not stable enough.
Well, maybe this is another kind of beauty that I cannot appreciate. The art of war is inherently colorful and should not be limited to one style.
There must be many people who can't stand the conservative school like myself and Zhuge Shuang.
By the way, the old man Yang Yue caused too much trouble to the Hexi Party members who went on an expedition. Four thousand people went out for the expedition, but only a few hundred came back in the end. He was suspected of wiping out the bad guys, and logically he should be punished. But he
His military exploits are dazzling enough, and this is also true.
In future generations, merit will be merit and fault will be fault, but in this case, merit and demerit can be offset. Yang Yue's military exploits were very great, but fault may not be a fault at all in the eyes of many people.
You have to keep him in the snow for a while, treat him coldly, and wait and see how things turn out.
In addition to Lu and Yang, Zhang Yanqiu should also be talented in many aspects.
Shao Shude had learned a lot from him. The two had a very good personal relationship, and Zhang Yanqiu even recommended talents like Zhu Shuzong.
As the coach of Hedong Capital, Zhang Yanqiu has a lot of methods for managing the army, and he can lead tens of thousands of troops to fight. However, he has only been here for a short time and has not proven himself yet. If there is an opportunity in the future, maybe you can try to let him lead an army.
, fight independently.
Can Fu Cunshen independently command the battlefield in one direction? He definitely does not have this ability now. He still needs to continue to grow. In layman's terms, he needs to accumulate experience and upgrade.
Let's keep it with you for a while and observe it first.
We are just planning to form the Tianzhu Army. There will be only a small number of soldiers, four battalions of combat soldiers, five battalions of auxiliary soldiers, plus some miscellaneous soldiers, a total of nearly 5,000 people. The military envoy has been decided, and it is Li Tangbin, Fu Cunshen, the envoy of Wuwei Army.
Since he brought 400 people to surrender and made great achievements along the way, he was allowed to join the Tianzhu Army as a tenth general.
There is also Wang Jianji, who stood firm at the critical moment and had some merits on the road, so he was promoted to a level and became a team leader.
"General Fu is brave and loyal, and has great achievements. He will serve as a tenth general under a certain account. He will take office as soon as the Tianzhu Army is formed." Shao Shude said.
"Thank you, Marshal Jianba." Fu Cunxen was a little surprised.
As a deputy general, he may lead a combat barracks or an auxiliary barracks. The tenth general is basically the chief officer of the combat barracks. And once there is a higher-level position vacancy in the army, the tenth general will also be given priority.
"Wang Huochang also has merit, so he should go to the Tianzhu Army and serve as a camp commander."
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your cultivation." Wang Jianji squeezed up from behind, knelt down on one knee, and said happily.
"We won't be able to enter Lingzhou. I'll go straight to Huaiyuan County to have a look." Shao Shude waved his hand, and Li Renfu led the war horse over.
"Farewell to the King of Lingwu County." Li Shao, accompanied by his assistants and supervisors from the Lingzhou shogunate, said in unison.
Who said that the position of commanding, setting up, and envoys for all four provinces in Guanbei was useless? At least he could intervene in the affairs of Shuofang, Tiande, and Zhenwu towns with peace of mind, without suffering criticism from others.
If you are strong, your false reputation can become real.
The cavalry brigade was marching very fast. In the afternoon of September 11th, Shao Shude arrived in Huaiyuan County and summoned Xiao Mao, the judge of the Construction Department, for questioning.
"I've seen the commander-in-chief." Xiao Mao rushed to the place where the camp was set up and saluted.
"Judge Xiao must have known about it, right? Duke Xiao wants to go out to control the five states of Hewei and Weizhou, and I have already agreed to this." Shao Shude stood on a hillside and looked carefully at the Huaiyuan New City, which was under construction.
The new city is located on the south side of the old city and is far larger in scale. The city of Luocheng is about 25 miles in circumference, facing the river in the east and surrounded by a moat. The material is made of rammed earth on the inside and bricks and stones on the outside. It has five gates.
There is also a water gate leading to the river through a ditch.
The east gate is called Chaojing Gate, the south gate is called Wangjing Gate, the west gate is called Victory Gate, the northwest gate is called Yonghe Gate, the north gate is called Zhenyuan Gate, and the water gate is at the southeast corner.
There is a Drum Tower in the center of Luocheng, and the Zicheng is located on the north side. The four command and control offices in Guanbei and other envoys are located in the Zicheng. As for Huaiyuan County, offices are still in the old county in the north, but they will be connected with the new city.
Together, they become Fuguo County, so the entire circumference of Huaiyuan City will be close to twenty-nine miles.
In front of the Drum Tower is a broad main road running east-west, with Desheng Gate and Chaojing Gate at both ends. There is another main road to the south of the Drum Tower, leading directly to Wangjing Gate.
The layout structure of the city is still generally the classic tic-tac-toe structure of the Guo Dynasty.
To the southwest of the city are sacrificial buildings such as the Sheji Altar and the City God's Temple, while to the southeast are Buddhist temples and Taoist temples.
The northwest is the commercial area. In the future, a city wall will be built to implement the city system to centralize commercial transactions. If necessary, a second city will be built on the west side. After all, it is the center of governance, and business will definitely be prosperous.
There is no clear plan for the remaining part. But generally speaking, various government agencies will also occupy a large area, such as Cangcheng (Changpingcang), schools, military camps, public treasuries, capital courtyards, post houses, etc.
.
In addition, there are private residences, various consumption places, charity houses and other welfare facilities, etc., which all occupy a lot of area.
In short, the scale of Huaiyuan New City is not small, equivalent to the size of the state cities of Shangzhou and Wangzhou. A major corvee for the people of Lingzhou and Fengzhou was to build the city in Huaiyuan County. The nearby party tribes were also expropriated.
Manpower, felling wood, burning bricks, quarrying stones, all were assigned tasks.
Shao Shude's expectation is to spend another two to three years to roughly complete Luocheng, Zicheng, Cangcheng, Yamen and some official facilities, and then he can move in. Even if he goes to other places in the future, this place will not be the same.
Even if you give up, you can still use it to great effect.
"I admire the commander-in-chief's trust in Xiao," Xiao Mao replied.
"Do a good job. Many people in Huaiyuan New Town have high hopes and are anxious to move here." Shao Shude said: "Mr. Xiao, of course I trust you. We have won the five states of Hewei after untold hardships. If it weren't for trust,
I will never let him go to town. The Xiao family and the Shao family should share the wealth and honor."
