The cultivation of local fields is roughly the same.
The land allocated to meritorious soldiers and soldiers who do not want it can be converted into money and resold to the heavenly army and the government;
If desired, it is allowed to recruit local landless people as tenants to replace farming, and the government and the army will manage it uniformly.
As for military fields.
At present, only Pengcheng has started cultivating, and other cities are short of manpower and are completely idle. It is now the middle of spring, which is the farming season. If the plant is pushed forward one day later, the autumn harvest will be reduced by one point, but it must be started immediately.
The opinions put forward by Mi Heng coincided with what Wang Zheng learned in his memory, which was farming.
"Now that all the counties in Langya are under my control, I need to immediately verify the real population of each city and county, and the actual young and strong ones, and select the brave and strong ones to join the army. The rest will be organized into farms and stationed in each city. They will cultivate in their spare time and do exercises in their spare time.
, the city can also be defended in wartime. There is only one thing, the people of the city are not allowed to camp in the city. They can be interchanged between the east and the west, and the north and the south can be transferred. For example, the people in Linyi are stationed in Zangguo; the people in Dongguan are transferred to the West Sea."
Wang Zheng looked at Mi Heng and understood.
No one else, including Yu Jin Xu Fang, noticed it, but Mi Heng was also from a prominent family, but just like himself, he saw something fishy at first glance the moment he entered the city and picked up the books recording Langya's tax population.
These prominent families in Langya County are really too much and too outrageous!
Pengcheng State governs eight counties, and was massacred by Yanzhou soldiers last year. Today, there are still more than 60,000 households in the country and a population of nearly 300,000.
Langya County has not experienced wars for a long time, and there have been no natural disasters or epidemics in recent years. It governs thirteen counties, but the official statistics show that there are only 20,000 households...
How can this be?
Leaving aside other places for the time being, he had ordered Yu Ban to conduct statistics before taking Pengcheng. In Kaiyang City alone, there are now over 10,000 households and a population of over 100,000.
Could it be that the other twelve counties combined only have 10,000 households?
The only explanation can only be that the wealthy families in each county are covering up their population and are acting extremely arrogantly.
This is also one of the main reasons why Wang Zhengqian wanted to go to Langya County in person.
If you want to treat each other with courtesy first and then fight with each other, then you have to find the leaders of the famous families in Langya County. Such people can only be the two famous families, the Wang family and the Yan family.
Different from Qi County, these two prominent families are not based in Kaiyang, the center of the county, but in Langya County, the easternmost part of the county.
"Sir, what you said is very kind." Wang Zheng nodded in approval, then told the whole story about his plans, and pointed to the map on the wall, "I also want to go here in the near future, just to solve this matter."
"My lord is going there in person, it seems..." Mi Heng heard the song and knew its elegant meaning. He frowned and pondered for a moment, and said: "It really has to be my lord."
If it were purely through force or direct eradication, the process would be straightforward, and the Heavenly Army would definitely be the victor. However, these noble families are intertwined and connected with each other, and their control over the people is not deep, and the backlash it brings will only make people
The vitality of the entire Langya County was severely damaged, and it was Wang Zheng's interests that were ultimately harmed.
If you want to negotiate with these people, Ni Heng thinks to yourself that he, Zhang Zhao and Wang Zheng are the only ones in the Heavenly Army who can do it.
But first of all, he is not suitable. Both his previous background and his current status are a bit embarrassing. Zhang Zhao is suitable. The problem is that one is far away in Pengcheng, and he may not be willing to do so.
So this matter really can only be done by Wang Zheng himself.
After studying agriculture, it was time to move to industry and commerce.
As a time traveler, Wang Zheng has always attached great importance to craftsmanship since the beginning. After all, do all three-year-old children in future generations know that science and technology are the primary productive forces?
Every time they went to a city, not all the strong men were taken away. There were craftsmen and craftsmen, but they were all taken away without any care.
So far, the craftsmen brought from Qingzhou have already formed separate camps. Except for some that were brought to Pengcheng before, there are still enough left in Kaiyang to meet most of the needs of the army and the people, so they don't need to worry about it for the time being.
Commerce is more important. Ni Heng's proposal is that it is valued second only to agriculture, especially places like Kaiyang and Pengcheng, which are already uniquely endowed by nature. Now that they are in the hands of the royal government, they must vigorously develop them.
Since the ban on Kaiyang, both the army and the people have been managed well, but there has been no success in business.
Although most of the shops in the city have resumed normal operations because they do not disturb the residents, due to the influence of the Yellow Turban Thief and the strict prohibition on entry and exit again, the circulation in all directions has disappeared.
Internal circulation is nothing more than satisfying the needs of the military and civilians, while external circulation can not only obtain wealth, but also obtain intelligence information from all directions.
According to Mi Heng's analysis, there are actually hidden dangers in self-sufficiency.
"Regardless of Pengcheng Langya, it is now an inaccessible place. Although Xuzhou is rich in resources, there is salt, iron, gold and gold in the territory, which is enough for short term use. But what about the others?
"Not to mention anything else, just this one piece of fabric to make armor and clothing for the entire army. I have already plundered all the cities, but it is still not enough. In the future, my lord will conquer the four directions and compete for the top spot. He will also need to recruit new soldiers, weapons, armor and clothing.
If it is purely built, how long will it take? If it can be purchased directly, how long will it take?"
"Especially when it comes to foreign businessmen..." Mi Heng solemnly reminded: "Now that our army has been cooperating with the Mi family for a long time, it is a good thing, but if this is the only one, there may be evil consequences."
Wang Zheng understood what the other party meant. As the territory expanded, the self-sufficiency of the Heavenly Army also increased. However, that was because he always followed the route of elite soldiers and did not recruit many new soldiers. Even so, Mi's contribution was still considerable, but
In the future, not to mention external expeditions, even garrisoning in each city will require a lot of soldiers. The expansion of the team is inevitable. We cannot rely on just one family, let alone one family, lest we be hijacked with resources one day.
"Therefore, the basis of business is how to attract foreign businessmen, which is what I need."
"How to recruit it?"
"Businesses pursue profits and promise huge profits, and they will come in a hurry. Whatever we need for the people, we will exempt them from taxes, and the government can reward us; whatever we need for the military, we will give high prices. The merchants have come, and the officials in various places
, we must treat them with courtesy and respect, and we must not withhold or embarrass them in any way except for the fine work.
"However, when people's wealth is exhausted, Langya is fine. Pengcheng and other places are not wealthy. Therefore, merchants who come to visit must be screened. While encouraging the import of necessities, strictly prohibit the import of luxury goods, non-military use, and civilian necessities.
Import, and export of our military and civilian necessities."
Wang Zheng pondered for a moment and nodded: "But we can't wait passively. I think we have to take the initiative. If we can find a suitable business channel and several fixed supply channels, that would be great."
"The Mi family has been farming for many generations, and they are good at cattle, horses, salt and food. If we can continue to cooperate, we will solve a lot of problems." Mi Heng said with a smile: "If Langya succeeds, the Yan family will build a family with cloth, and the Wang family will use utensils.
If you hear about the world, you can naturally use it."
Is this so?
Wang Zheng looked at Mi Heng in surprise, and saw that he had a confident look on his face. He thought he had already found out clearly, so he couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart: "It's because of Huang Tian's blessing that I can get you sir."
...
It was discussed early in the morning that all the problems that should be solved have been solved. At about noon, Wang Zheng informed the generals and decided to set off for Langya County tomorrow.
After all the generals left, Wang Zheng stayed alone in the lobby for a while. He suddenly remembered something and called his bodyguard to ask: "Then Mi Fang said last time when she would return to the East China Sea, but is she still in Kaiyang now?"
The guard replied: "General, I am still in Kaiyang, but the sentries who stayed behind in the past few days have reported that they seem to be preparing for a long journey."
"Hmm." Wang Zheng nodded. Just now Mi Heng reminded him that the head of the Mi family would like to meet again before departure.
Just this afternoon.
He asked his soldiers to go and inform him in advance. Wang Zheng was leaning on the couch. The warm spring sunshine came in from outside the hall and spread all over his body. He couldn't help but feel comfortable all over. His eyelids twitched and he fell asleep.
Speaking of which, yesterday's battle with Sun Ce was not easy to win. Although the bad energy in his heart was released, his mental strength was also depleted a lot, which made him feel a little tired and sleepy.
Just after I had slept for a while, I was woken up by the sound of footsteps.
When Wang Zheng raised his head, he saw Ni Heng leaving and returning again, now standing in front of the hall.
Upon seeing his expression, Wang Zheng knew that something must be wrong with him, so he couldn't help but ask: "Sir, what did you think of when you suddenly thought about it?"
"No." Mi Heng smiled and Shi Shiran sat down: "It's not a temporary idea, but this matter comes out of Heng's mouth, but it can only reach the Lord's ears."
oh?
This matter needs to be deliberately avoided from the eyes and ears of Yu Jin and others?
His eyes were focused, his eyebrows were raised, and he asked in a deep voice: "But is there something going on in the army?"
As he spoke, he instinctively looked up at the suspended transparent frame, first at the experience bar, and secondly at the numbers of each level of soldiers.
Nothing seems to have changed...
Could it be that Pengcheng is a long way away, so Mi Heng got the news, but my system hasn't been updated yet?
"Lord." Mi Heng said solemnly, "Do you know who Ding Hong and Ding Xiaogong are?"
Ding Hong?
I only know Lu Bu’s cheap adoptive father Ding Yuan.
Wang Zheng was stunned and said: "Wei Zeng, what is the origin of this person?"
"After Emperor Xiaohe (Liu Yu) came to the throne, his adoptive mother, the Queen Mother Dou, came to rule the court and was domineering and authoritarian. Her brother Dou Xianguan was appointed as the general. He appointed the Dou brothers as civil and military officials and controlled the military and political power of the country. See
Seeing this phenomenon, many ministers were very anxious and worried about the Han Dynasty. Minister Ding Hong was one of them."
Mi Heng explained: "Ding Hong was very knowledgeable and studied the classics very well. He was very angry at Empress Dowager Dou's autocratic power and was determined to get rid of this evil for the country. A few years later, a solar eclipse occurred in the sky, and Ding Hong took advantage of this
At that time, he thought it was an ominous sign and wrote to the emperor, pointing out the harm of the Dou family's power to the country, and suggesting that this phenomenon be quickly changed. Emperor He had already had this feeling and intention, so he quickly dismissed Dou Xian from his official position, and Dou Xian and his
Brothers committed suicide because of this."
"It's just that although cholera was eradicated, it eventually severely damaged the vitality of the imperial court. Ding Hong then made another comment."
"If the government is ordered to obey, and Du Jian is guarded against cuteness, then the evil monster will be wiped out, and harm will be eliminated and good fortune will be achieved."
Wang Zheng understood.
Isn't this just an admonishment to him to guard against the slightest possibility?
"What's going on?" Wang Zheng looked at Mi Heng speechlessly. "Sir, it's okay to say it."
Why don't you speak more clearly and clearly? I am a time traveler, so I understand even if you don't use allusions.
"My lord, you are now the general guarding Jiqiu, who is Pan Zhang?"
"Exactly."
After hearing this, Wang Zheng finally understood why Mi Heng wanted to avoid Yu Jin, Fu Bo and others.
At this time, he had just established his power, and there were not many factions within the army, but there were faint signs of it beginning to appear.
Basically, all the generals and armies were united, with Xu Fang and Wu Sheng at the center.
Both of them had known him since they were young, and their relationship naturally faded away. In comparison, Xu Fang was more outstanding in terms of ability, but when it came to his friendship with Wang Zheng, Wu Sheng was still the best among all the characters.
Among the generals, except Yu Jin who was more inclined to Xu Fang, Pan Zhang, Fu Bo and Zhang Rao were all more inclined to Wu Sheng.
Among them, Pan Zhang, who was dragged into the group by Wu Sheng, had the deepest friendship with him.
Wang Zheng has already noticed this phenomenon and knows that it is a normal development law.
The system only made them swear loyalty to itself, but it did not erase the humanity of these people.
Human nature is naturally selfish and self-interested.
"What happened to Pan Zhang?" Wang Zheng looked solemn and looked at Mi Heng: "What happened to Ji Qiu?"
"My lord." Mi Heng said seriously: "When I came to Kaiyang with Sun Ce, I passed by Jiqiu and entered the city for one day. However, I heard that Pan Zhang took advantage of the opportunity of guarding the east gate of Langya on my lord's behalf.
With bribes from the big families in the city, he led a luxurious life and hunted for women. In just one month, he acquired dozens of beauties."
"That's all. I learned that Pan Zhang was prosperous and some relatives and friends appeared out of nowhere. Now they have all gone to Jiqiu, and they have even been appointed by him to serve as Dubo and generals in the Jiqiu garrison.
"
Speaking of this, Mi Heng said with a stern voice, "Looking at his behavior, you will know that this beast is of low character, extravagant and greedy for money. He is definitely not a loyal person. My lord must not continue to entrust him with important responsibilities!"
It turns out to be this.
Wang Zheng's heart dropped immediately when he mentioned that he was in the air. The ancients always liked to tie talent and virtue to loyalty, and link loyalty to righteousness. People like Mi Heng would go to extremes, but Wang Zheng, as a later generation, knew that this was not necessarily the case.
Most corrupt officials may be traitors, but not all of them are, and those without virtue may not necessarily be talentless, nor may they be disloyal.
At least in the history of the Three Kingdoms that he knew, Pan Zhang did not seem to have betrayed Sun Shiwan. What's more, the other party had already entered the system and had already been ideologically stamped and loyal. Not to mention Pan Zhang, even if Qin Hui came, there would be no betrayal.
Your own possibility!
"Sir, you are overthinking." After thinking about it, Wang Zheng still wanted to explain: "In the past, when Han Gao and King Xiang were fighting for hegemony, they still relied heavily on Chen Ping, who was known as the wife of a thief.
Talent has no virtue."
"My lord..." Seeing that Wang Zheng didn't take it to heart, Mi Heng was anxious and still tried to persuade him, but Wang Zheng solemnly said: "Pan Zhang is a capable man, and he will not betray me. This is Huang Tianzhao's warning.
!”
Is this so?
Mi Heng was startled, thinking of the mysterious scene he had experienced at home, and immediately became speechless.
He was also a party involved. Although he didn't know the reason, he knew that if it was true, then whether he was as evil as Pan Zhang or as upright as himself, there would indeed never be a possibility of betraying the king's government.
That voice carried indescribable magic, preventing them from even thinking of betrayal, let alone taking action?
But I heard Wang Zheng continue: "But now that the great cause has not been accomplished, our army's footing is unstable, sir, it is right to pay attention to the local abnormalities. If similar things happen again, don't talk nonsense, and tell me personally."
The semantic meaning of this sentence is unclear, and the context and context are combined together. Similar things can be understood as local places, generals, and officials.
Mi Heng was stunned for a moment. At this time, Wang Zheng was already walking out.
Under the reflection of the sun, the tall figure stretched to the ground, with black ripples.
What the lord means is that he just doesn't care, but he can't be careless?
And this is not a concern, or is it just expedient and temporary?
