Chapter 0573: The Forgotten County of Ningzhou [2]
There are only one prefecture and two counties in Ningzhou County, the county capital is Yunshan Prefecture, and the two counties are Dachang County and Yuan'an County, with a total population of 1.92 million in the whole prefecture and county, and the cultivated land area of the prefecture and county is 3.8 million mu, and the annual grain output is about 16.5 million stones.
Of the more than 16 million stone grain, about 35 percent of which are local tyrants and inferior gentry; Subsequently, nearly 30 percent was crossed out by the major mountains; The Ningzhou county government and the two county governments divided up another 20 percent of the amount, and the last grain left for the people was only a little more than a stone per capita, which was only enough for them to eat for half a year. Therefore, it can be determined that Ningzhou County is the poorest of the 16 existing prefectures and counties in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and there is no one.
This is the largest gang in Ningzhou County, the sacred realm, in fact, it is not very large, they have more than 80,000 horses, and in terms of strength, they can only rank 50th in the Eastern Jin Dynasty; The total strength of the remaining 9 gangs together is less than 200,000, including all the officers and soldiers, even if the entire Ningzhou County is twisted into a rope and united, its total strength will not exceed 300,000 at most.
If you really want to deal with this scattered and rabble of Ningzhou County, Dahua only needs to use some special arms plus the strength of 5 armies, and you can easily take it down and get it.
However, Luo Yunxiao still felt that it might be more appropriate to settle Ningzhou County in a peaceful way, and it might be better not to fight. For example, just like the kind of measures taken by the mainland to deal with Wanwan in the future time and space, first give you enough time and a certain amount of space to let you develop slowly, that is actually boiling frogs in warm water, and when you feel that the water temperature is the most comfortable, you will immediately add firewood and fire, so that you can't bear it all of a sudden. Unless you are honest with us, you will be turned into a real boiled bullfrog for everyone to taste together.
In order to show his generosity, Luo Yunxiao decided to adopt a carrot and stick strategy for them, soft first and then hard, and salute first and then soldier. To this end, he brought a total of 10 million taels of silver and 30 million stone of grain, and prepared to carry out a large-scale pension and subsidy for the entire Ningzhou County from top to bottom, from rich to poor.
The money and grain brought by Luo Yunxiao were intended to be distributed in this way, and the people of Ningzhou County distributed 2 taels of silver and 5 stone of grain to each of them; The Ningzhou county government allocated them 1.5 million taels of silver and 4.5 million stone of grain; The other two county governments each received 750,000 taels of silver and 2.5 million stone of grain; In addition, the top ten gangs in Naningzhou County are also the key targets of pacification, Luo Yunxiao brought them more than 3 million taels of silver and more than 10 million stone grain, and prepared to let them distribute them according to the strength of the gang. This is the carrot that Luo Yunxiao gave them.
As for the big stick, that is, 7 armies, plus an iron cavalry army, a sharpshooter division, a special division, a throwing brigade, a total of nearly 900,000 troops have been deployed in the surrounding areas of Ningzhou County, once they don't know each other, then they will be given a strong stick to serve, let them pay for their unwise behavior.
It is said that Luo Yunxiao led a group of people to Yunshan City, the county capital of Ningzhou County. Li Qingmeng, the county guard of Naningzhou County, had already received a message from his subordinates earlier, and knew that the person who came was Luo Yunxiao, the world-renowned president of Dahua, and he was even a little at a loss for a while.
Although there are not many people who have gone to Yunshan Mansion this time, according to the report from the outside line, the entire surrounding area outside the boundary of Ningzhou County is full of people from Dahuaguo, and it seems that the other party is definitely prepared this time.
Therefore, Li Qingmeng, the county guard of Naning Prefecture, was extremely helpless, so he had to take all the officials in the state and county out of the city to welcome this group of uninvited guests.
Luo Yunxiao's team that came this time is also relatively large. But in fact, he is surrounded by more than 10 peak masters such as Nangong Yimeng, as well as 200 elite-level mobile fighters and 400 double-gun guards; And more than 15,000 elites and elite soldiers who escorted grain and silver, five of them escorted a cart, a total of 3,000 carriages, and those carriages were all loaded with grain and silver.
When Li Qingmeng and the others saw the countless carriages full of rice and silver with white flowers, their eyes immediately lit up. Wow! How much silver and food must have been! If it's all for yourself, then it's going to be a big deal, and it's out of control.
Luo Yunxiao greeted Li Qingmeng with a smile: "This one must be the Li County Guard of Ningzhou County, right?" I am Luo Yunxiao, the president of Dahua, Li Junshou, hello! Hello everyone! ”
Li Qingmeng's face showed a flattered look, his voice trembled slightly, and he said with some stammering: "Luo, President Luo Luo, you are here, you are here." President Luo, yours, your name shocked the world, like thunder, today, when I saw it today, it was really different, and it was worthy of its reputation, and the lower officials were so polite. Say, he gave Luo Yunxiao a deep salute, and the officials standing behind him saw that the boss had saluted, so they didn't dare to slack off, and they all drew scoops on the gourd and made a big salute to Luo Yunxiao.
Watching the officials of Ningzhou County salute him, Luo Yunxiao couldn't help laughing. He said with a smile: "Li Junshou, don't be nervous! I am not here to show you majesty and strength this time, but to send you warmth. Did you see that these grains and silver were given to you in Ningzhou County, and no matter how rich or poor, everyone has a share, Li County Shou, do you feel quite warm? Hehe!. ”
Li Qingmeng asked with a puzzled expression: "President Luo, there is something I want to confirm." That's what you just said that everyone has a share, what does that mean? ”
Luo Yunxiao immediately understood the meaning of his words, so he said very casually: "It's very simple, what I mean is that the money and food I brought this time, all the people in Ningzhou County can be wet with rain and dew, as long as they are people in Ningzhou County, they can all get benefits, this is the meaning that everyone has a share in what Luo is referring to." ”
Li Qingmeng's face obviously showed a look of disdain and contempt, and said very lightly: "Isn't this a little unpleasant?" You have to give them those untouchables too, tsk! What a waste. How much money and food it will cost in vain! ”
