Survival of the Chongzhen Emperor Chapter 598 The core of restoring the Central Plains is to return the ownership of the wasteland to the imperial court!
Chapter 598 The core of restoring the Central Plains is to return the ownership of the wasteland to the imperial court!
Due to the arrival of Song Quan, Cao Ruohai was finally relieved from the busy reception work and began to focus on the Western Expedition.
The distance from Zhengzhou to Luoyang is only more than 300 miles. Even in ancient times, this distance was not long. There were no major natural dangers on the entire road. Logically speaking, driving westward from this road and into
There is no big obstacle, but in reality, there is a huge difficulty in moving westward, and that is logistical supply.
After Sun Chuanting's troops left Tongguan, Luoyang was quickly captured. But when they fought all the way to Zhengzhou, they were defeated and lost, and almost lost their capital. There were many reasons for the defeat, but the most fundamental logistics could not keep up.
Above. Shaanxi's material resources are limited to Luoyang. Going further east, the transportation efficiency will be greatly reduced, and the entire cost will be several times higher than the road from Tongguan to Luoyang. At that time, Sun Chuanting did not have the strength to support the last three hundred
Many miles of journey!
In the same way, transporting materials from Shandong and Beizhili to Shanxi and the Central Plains reaches a limit when reaching Zhengzhou and Taiyuan. Going further, the cost will increase significantly and the efficiency will decrease a lot, and the investment will be more than doubled.
The manpower and material resources are sufficient to ensure the logistics costs of frontline troops.
If the situation in the Central Plains and Shanxi Valley was better and had not been seriously damaged by the war, there would be no logistical difficulties at all in joining forces in Luoyang. The food and drink expenses for hundreds of thousands of troops could be completely solved on the spot. But if this is not possible now, the people in this area are really struggling.
It cannot support an army of 150,000 people.
"Shuangyou and Youliang can only rely on transporting grain from Datong to the south. It is estimated that there will be a delay in understanding the state and Zezhou area for a while. They will wait for the grain and military supplies to be in place before making the next step. Governor Song here will find a way
After we have solved part of the food supply, we can go a little faster, and we will be able to press the military line to Luoyang in the next few days." When Cao Ruohai was studying the military situation at the headquarters, he was very grateful to Song Quan for what he had done. Although the 100,000 stone grains
It will not be transferred directly to the army, but the army can advance it and wait for the grain shipped from Yanzhou to Zhengzhou to supply the governor's office.
In this way, the transportation cost alone can be reduced a lot. If Chen Yongfu, an old thief, had known that he had hidden so much food, the army would have started to march westward a few days ago. Here is the advantage of being able to solve the food problem on the spot.
, which greatly alleviates the time and space conflicts in logistics transportation.
"Commander, General Bai and other people in the advisory hall have spread news in the past few days, saying that King Zhou of Luoyang, Gao Mingheng and others also intend to surrender, as well as the bandit leaders from Shangzhou and Nanyang, who also intend to surrender.
, how should we respond?”
Xiaoshuting app
"The military command hall is organizing troops. There should be about ten brigades of troops entering the Central Plains and Shanxi in the near future. After they come, they will mainly be used in Pingjing local prefectures and counties, and our hands and feet will be freed up! By then,
Whether it is surrender or fighting, it will be much more convenient. As for the attitude of those people, it is estimated that they are similar to Chen Yongfu. Now we mainly focus on the battle of Luoyang. We will attack the city first and then see their attitude. The road has been marked for them.
Well, the policy is this policy, there is no time for them to hesitate."
Quickly recover Luoyang City and advance the war to Shaanzhou, Mianchi, and Tongguan to complete the strategic mission of the first phase of the Western Expedition. This is what Cao Ruohai is most concerned about now. Unless Luoyang City is recovered, the entire war cannot be temporarily suspended.
After coming down, no matter whether it is rest, replenishment or peace of mind, there is no way to spend a lot of energy on it.
Three days later, the two armies began to march westward from Zhengzhou City. Cao Ruohai's former enemy headquarters also moved westward and out of Zhengzhou City. Song Quan officially took over Zhengzhou City and the restored counties in Henan to the east.
, started the pace of administrative normalization.
"First select three to four thousand people from General Chen's surrendered troops and start building farms in the abandoned land east of Zhengzhou City. This year, we must open up four to five million acres of wasteland in the Central Plains to prepare for next year's work.
A good foundation." Seeing the deserted fields outside Zhengzhou City, Song Quan felt disgusted. Leaving such good land without cultivation was simply a waste of natural resources. The Central Plains must be restored as soon as possible!
"Dutai, in the past few days, the big families in the city have come to the governor's office many times, saying that the decree issued by our governor's office has forcibly expropriated their land, which is illegal. Please take it back." There are many wastelands in the Central Plains, but these are
Land is not ownerless land. The policy promulgated by Song Quan on the road to abolish the title deeds of land that has been abandoned for more than two years has aroused the dissatisfaction of large households in Henan. These people have recently been running to the Governor's Mansion to protest.
"Tell them that if they have the ability to cultivate the land again this year, the court will give them new land deeds. If they don't have the ability, don't mention it. What does it mean to be against the law? Do they have tax receipts for these wastelands?
?The governor has not spared the energy to deal with them, but they are running up the pole to make them feel uncomfortable!"
There are a large number of abandoned wastelands in the Central Plains. The impact of the war is one aspect, and the impact of these large households who occupy the latrines and do nothing is also another aspect. Because of the chaos, the tenants fled, and the remaining ones were unable to farm again, so a large number of
The land was abandoned, otherwise why would the people leave the land in front of their homes and run away without planting it?
The production model of land owned by landlords and land owned by capitalists are different. Landlords do not bear business risks. The input of production materials is borne by the tenants who rent their land. They are the existence of collecting land rent. Encountered
During the famine, the tenants went bankrupt, and the landlords only lost their land rent, which is still there. Wait until next year, if you want to plant their own land, you still have to invest capital. Where will the tenants get the capital to invest again?
If we want to restore the vitality of the Central Plains as soon as possible, we must take out a large amount of land from the hands of landlords and redistribute it to the hands of farmers who actually cultivate the land. In this way, the policies provided by the government can be truly used by producers.
Play its due role. Otherwise, the rent-free and distributed seeds and production tools will fall into the pockets of the landlords and will not directly promote economic recovery.
Before Song Quan came to Henan, Zhu Youjian gave him special instructions in the capital. Taking back wasteland from landlords through decrees, distributing it to farmers and opening Anmin farms were Zhu Youjian's instructions for the restoration of the Central Plains.
spirit. Why have Gao Mingheng and others failed to produce results in the past few years? The reason is that land, an important production resource, is not in their hands, and the production resources are not in the hands of real producers. All policies will not be implemented. If you can
What? Why was Sun Chuanting able to stabilize Sichuan and Shaanxi? It was because he attacked interest groups!
Zhu Youjian still found a legal basis for taking back the wasteland, which was based on taxation! If you didn't pay taxes to the court, why is your land deed still valid? How could the landowners pay taxes on the abandoned land? This is their Achilles' heel!
