Chapter 2: Chaos
8,000 acres of wasteland and 20,000 acres of mountainous land, Chen Mu can understand and understand.
But what's the about rowing Juntian into the sea?
What is the matter if a monk occupies a field and occupies a thousand households?
"Zhou County Order, do you know this?"
Chen Mu was not angry, grinding his hands, but decided to ask Zhou Xing first.
Because he calculated in his heart what Deng Zilong said, the tax he said was not calculated according to 50,000 mu of military land, but 10,000 stone of military rations based on the tax paid for two seasons of 13,000 mu of arable military land.
If the taxes of the Xiangshan Thousand Households are collected in this way, then the Xiangshan County, Guangzhou Prefecture, and Guangdong Prefecture all know about it.
There's got to be a cat here!
"Go back to Chen Qianhu and know below." Zhou Xing didn't pretend to be quails, and bluntly told Chen Mu that he knew about it, "I not only know, but also know that the military land of Xiangshan Thousand Households is not 50,000 mu, but 54,000 mu." ”
"Another 4,000 acres of land, in Haojing. The fields in Xiangshan are scarce, and a few years ago, Fanyi opened the customs and took the path of Wang Bai, the deputy envoy of the sea route, and took Australia as his home. Fanyi soldiers are large and boats, and the army and civilians dare not cross the farmland in Macao, so they asked the county to order Chen Yi to allocate another 4,000 mu of military land, and the territory of Xiangshan is all private land, and there is no land to allocate, so they have to assign the seaside sand land of Huangliangdu opposite Macao to the Thousand Households, which is not counted as paying taxes, and allows the military households to fish for a living. ”
"Most of the military fields on the mountain are tea gardens, and they can also pick wood, sell tea and buy grain, and they can also pay taxes; If thousands of households are attentive, the wasteland will not be wasteland in two years. Only the six banyan temples occupy the military field, which is not hidden, in the next small county. Zhou Xing shook his head slightly and said, "There is no way, Qianhu can only get it back by himself." ”
After Zhou Xing said this, Chen Mu felt that it was reasonable, whether it was Haitian or Shantian, it could be used, as for the wasteland...... Chen Ye didn't plan to stay in Xiangshan Thousand Households for a lifetime, so let it be barren for 8,000 acres of land, but he really couldn't wait for a lot of money in his hands in the future, and hire the people of Xiangshan to open up the wasteland.
However, the two thousand acres of land that were occupied by the Guangcheng Temple by Chen Mu was the most inappropriate for Chen Mu before, but Zhou Xing was helpless, which aroused his curiosity and asked: "Why are there no way for the monks and Brother Zhou?" ”
"There are quite a lot of believers among the nobles in Guangcheng."
Zhou Xing raised his finger with a smile and pointed to it, shook his head and said: "Tian is in the hands of the monks, Chen Qianhu can't be reasonable, and no one will listen to it." ”
"But if Qianhu leads troops to snatch it back and keep it, it will be a matter of great merit." Zhou Xing smiled, put his hand on the tea table, and said: "There are also people in the county whose fields are occupied by monks and monks, and the county officials are not enough. ”
"Don't!"
Zhou Xing was still laughing, Chen Mu had already waved his hand to stop, and said: "The two thousand acres Chen doesn't care, if the monk likes to plow, let them plow, this matter is definitely not as simple as you said, don't want to take Chen out." ”
"And this heart disease, Brother Zhou has to help me solve it now, and Gou Ding is in the army."
"Without the flag army, it is a small matter to not be able to grow food, and the bullet can't suppress the Fanyi of Haojingao, and it is a big deal if you can't do the mission handed over by the governor, and the Zhou County Order must be in the same boat with Chen in this matter."
Zhou Xing actually originally wanted Chen Mu to lead the troops to snatch back the private fields occupied by the temple, and he helped Chen Mu find some people who couldn't live a good life under his rule to hook up the military registration, but now Chen Mu didn't want to take care of those military fields at all, and he didn't want to help Chen Mu.
We're all in the same boat!
"Many people's fields are occupied by monks and monks, and Zhou is unpopular, so how can he hook up for thousands of households?" Zhou Xing no longer looked at Chen Mu, but sighed: "If Qianhu can get the land back from the hands of the monks, Zhou can bring 200 households to Qianhu, but it's a pity." ”
Zhou Xing didn't say anything, Chen Mu was still not at ease, but now he heard that even if he took back the field, Zhou Xing would only hook up 200 banner troops for himself, which made him feel a little relieved.
It seems that the monk is not very difficult to deal with.
"Five hundred, if you can hook five hundred households, Chen wants to try."
The lack of the flag army of the guard is Chen Mu's biggest problem at the moment, and as for the military field occupied by the Six Banyan Temple, he has a way to get it back.
"Five hundred!" Zhou Xing, who has always been calm and light-hearted, raised his eyebrows, the shortage of the guard army has become a rule, and Chen Mu, who originally thought that two hundred people was already satisfied, hurriedly said: "Where can Zhou hook so many people, at most two hundred, and if there are more, the people will change!" ”
Chen Mu raised three fingers and said, "Three hundred Gou troops, this is the least, Chen has to find more than six hundred people, and the banner army of Xiangshan Thousand Households will make up for it." Zhou County Commander also wants to follow the meaning of Governor Wu and govern Haojing, right? If you don't have a flag army, Chen can't play Fanyi, this is not to help me, but to help yourself. ”
Zhou Xing frowned.
This Chen Qianhu doesn't look as submissive as he did when he was in the Governor's Palace, especially when it comes to Fanyi, it smells of gunpowder.
"Chen Qianhu, it's right that Zhou wants to govern Haojing, you also want to play Fanyi, but how do you want to play and press, and to what extent?"
Chen Mu didn't speak for a while.
"Chen didn't think about how to press it, the path of the deputy envoy of the sea road was dredged by Fanyi, what can Chen do with a small thousand households?" Chen Mu spread out his hands and smiled, grabbed the handrail and said, "In the past, Chen was a farmer in Qingyuan, what great ambitions do you expect from me?" ”
"I just want to take the troops to Haojing-all those 4,000 acres of land."
The young Qianhu in front of him said it easily, but Zhou Xing heard his potential meaning.
He was going to garrison the troops in Ho Ho Kiang O.
"By the way, Brother Zhou, I have something to tell you here."
Chen Muke didn't care what Zhou Xing thought, he suddenly thought of what Yan Qing said, and said to Zhou Xing: "I heard in Guangcheng that Fanyi lured the people of the Ming Dynasty, and more than a dozen women from good families outside the city were deceived, and the family went to the yamen to report to the official, but no one cared. ”
"Fanyi is in Xiangshan, Brother Zhou's parents don't care about this?"
"You've heard that, too?"
Zhou Xing sighed, and said to Chen Mu: "I can't wait for Chen Qianhu to come, just because of this matter, Fanyi lured the people and girls There are many alarms, and the lower officials also sent people to sneak through the Haojing to investigate and secretly visit, and the Gaiflang machine businessman did it, which has three large ships and hundreds of soldiers and servants, and is proud of the black fan. ”
"Huangliang is in turmoil, and the government servants are not allowed to enter Macao, and they can only negotiate with the merchants in Guangzhou, and temporarily stay with the merchants for three months, so as to wait for thousands of households to exterminate the thieves in the Huangliang capital and lead to the road of Haojing."
Huangliangdu, Chen Mu secretly chewed on this place name and asked: "The county order said that the 4,000 acres of coast is in Huangliangdu, and they can cause a rebellion under their noses, and they are quite well-behaved?" ”
"Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, the yellow sorghum has been a thief for several years, never for the trouble in the township, colluded with the Japanese and often jumped out of the Jiangmen to attack Xinhui, the officers and soldiers fled to them when they arrived, and the officers and soldiers left and they came back, very cunning."
"Zhou will be three hundred for thousands of households, and the monks will occupy the people's land?"
Still relieved.
After all, he used Chen Ye a lot of places!
"This matter is on Chen, but Brother Zhou, don't worry, you just give the field to the people to come back, and you can't stop them from taking it away, what can you do?"
"It's just been planted, so let them plant it first." Chen Mu raised his two fingers and pointed at the tea case, "When the rice grows up, Brother Zhou, you take the people to harvest the fields, and Chen will lead the troops to protect you." Returning monks like to accumulate virtue and do good, let's let them plant. ”
"I really don't believe that in a few months, the monks and soldiers in his temple can beat Chen's banner army!"
