Chapter 15 Farming
"Wulang, now that there are 16,700 acres of land, they can't be wasted, and these boundaries have been disbanded and divided. If we do some killing, it's fine, but farming, that's completely unreasonable. ”
"Yes, Goro, and this Jiannan land is mostly mountains, rivers and ravines, not like Wuhan, irrigation and watering lunch. It is Jiangxia, which is also to observe the repair of the reservoir, which has only increased tens of thousands of acres of fields. If it is really wasteland, I am afraid that sooner or later I will have to be hooked. ”
Most of the subordinates are "sharp soldiers", and "counselor military" is okay, but farming is really not good. And those who are willing to enter Yunnan are often mixed between the mountains and mountains. In the past few years, because of the hopelessness of "promotion", Fangzhai has been flat and extinguished, and the rest are all like the big tribes surnamed Long, Lei, and Miao, who have changed their surnames and changed their clans, and mixed into the production system of Wuhan, and they can no longer find the logos and attributes they once had.
In the old years, Li Jiaxin of Hanshui took the road of Zhangdemen, relied on pacifying the "bandits", and "relocated full-time" Dunhuang to become a member of the Western Army. In another three or five years, I should be able to mix a good title and move to Luoyang, which is good for my children and grandchildren.
Similar to these who are willing to follow Long Wu, first, they have no skills except fighting, and they spend money and are refreshing, but Wuhan has always cracked down on dynamic social groups, so they can only find another way; The second is that although the promotion channel of the Wuhan department is difficult, it has a wide range of channels, and the business ability is not the qualifications, of course, the qualifications must have a bonus, but the business ability is strong, and it is definitely the greatest opportunity.
To sum up, it just so happens that Ryugoro has such a "resource channel", and there is nothing to say about the adventure with him.
Similar to Long Hao's staff, personal entourage, and guards, all of their equipment, except for large armor, have to be purchased by themselves.
Dian horses, Sichuan horses, mules and even donkeys, as well as large animals such as packing, are all purchased by themselves. Swords, spears, spears, daggers, cables, bows, ...... These also have to be purchased, all of which add up, and hundreds of dozens of times are always required. The people next to Long Hao who completely obeyed orders were eighty people, that is to say, the entire small team did not even have "armor" and "crossbow arrows", and the initial cost investment would be 10,000 yuan smaller.
People in ordinary places really can't afford to play this.
Among these 80 people, more than half of the armed personnel and equipment were purchased by Ryugoro as a guarantee and after borrowing money from Wuhan.
Of course, the rate of return is also very rich, and the battle of Lu Wangshan, let's call it a "battle", is just the silver raw materials and silver products looted, and it will be returned to the cost at one time. Needless to say, the rest of the Dingkou children's livestock, even the best timber, such as column heads and house beams, have seventy or eighty sticks, and if they can be transported back to Wuhan, it will also be a great sum of money.
During this period, a few handsome men who "cheated and played tricks" and "gave birth to the wrong place" were killed, and after being thrown to the Tu tribe to divide the carnival, there were 16,700 acres of unclaimed land. Although they are all in the field, if they are thrown away and not planted, after a long time, the natives who come to open up the wasteland will gather again.
There are many irrelevant people, and it is a great danger to the chain bridges, passes, and intersections where Long Hao is now entrenched.
Unless these people are their own people.
This truth, not to mention Long Hao himself, even the guards who can only fight are also clear.
Long Hao, who had no clue for a while, had no choice but to use the signal to pass a message to the past, and two days later, a message came from Wuhan, and Zhang De invited a few "agricultural officials" to Long Hao.
Because he is a "peasant official", Lao Zhang did not pass the eldest grandson Wuji, but wrote a letter to Li Chengqian, the warm male prince in Chang'an is studying four ways to increase the yield of beans and wheat intercropping, and suddenly received Zhang Dalang's letter, and immediately overjoyed, under the command of the East Palace, there were immediately a few more sesame officials.
Donggong's explanation for this is that "Yalongjiang Copper City is created in grass, and it is operated as a tuntian".
It's reasonable, it's scientific, it's logical.
The "peasant officials" are also Lao Zhang's students, and they are also classmates with Long Hao, but they are not in the same system. Although they are just "peasant officials", when it comes to cutting people, these "peasant officials" are not ambiguous. Because most of their fathers and brothers were born in Hebei swordsmen, and the family was mainly represented by the soldiers guarding the border forts, the typical one is the one-armed swordsman Lin Qingxia, his brother of the same clan, who studied in Wuhan.
When Zhang De was the observer of Jianghan, the main fast knife man who killed people in Ezhou was these Hebei brothers.
After the peace of Fangzhai, the brothers who washed their hands in the golden basin became professional "farming".
So the career of these "peasant officials" is actually two things, they are responsible for "slaughtering farmers" when they cut people; When he is not cutting people, he is responsible for "farming".
In general, it is inseparable from "agriculture".
After a month's interval, these "peasant officials" arrived at the "Yalong River Copper City", and after coming, they first replanted a wave of "Ling Rice", but fortunately the climate in Northeast Yunnan was suitable, otherwise in other places, replanting "Ling Rice" would be a dead end.
The efficiency of this replanting has been greatly improved, because of the use of Quyuan plow, which is a "high-tech" that Jiannan has never had. Prior to this, the agricultural efficiency of the entire Jiannan region was extremely low, and the agricultural tools were mostly wooden, stone, and bronze tools were very rare, and the main weapons and equipment for tribal vendetta were bows and arrows, because the demand for metal was low; The second is the wooden and bamboo spears.
This is also the reason why Brother Long only has eighty bodyguards, but he is the eldest brother.
"Goro, this is a letter from the mountain chief."
Long Hao took the letter, crushed the seal, shook off the letter, and browsed it.
After a while, Long Hao collected the letter, then looked at the "peasant officials" and said: "What the mountain chief means is that the 'Yalong River Copper Market' can recruit people from the cottages and caves to farm the fields. ”
"Exactly? You can't just recruit it, if you come to a spy, you can't make offerings? ”
"Mainly recruit small branches in the cottages and caves, these people are already oppressed by the handsome and handsome in the caves, and they just get by. But if you want to say that there are slaves, that is not possible, there are still some lands and dingkous under your hands. There are also some peasant households in ordinary prefectures and counties, with three or five people in their families and dozens of acres of land. ”
"This sixteen or seven thousand acres of land, in fact, can not be used much, half of the situation is amazing. For the rest, water is difficult to get and is of little use unless a dam is built. However, if you want to build a cement plant, you have to wait for the situation to be peaceful. ”
"Yes, at present, the 'Yalong River Copper Market' is handsome, handsome, dozens of cave owners, and village owners, and there are many people.
These students have also broadened their horizons, and Wuhan has never been stingy with "knowledge".
The development of copper mines in Guizhou is one of the key development directions of Wuhan in the next few years, and the scale of investment is not much different from that of Ezhou's construction of water conservancy. And the return is visible, every penny of copper mine production is a "profit"!
These students are willing to toss, it is also because they can see the opportunity of "promotion", not to mention, Yangzi County is a county born because of "trade".
Others can, why can't you?
What's more, Yangzi County is still thousands of miles away from Wuhan, and the straight-line distance between Qianzhong and Wuhan is not much.
"I'm afraid that those villages won't let people go, although the Tu people don't know how to educate, but they are not ignorant and ignorant, and they will always guard against it."
This is what Long Hao is worried about.
It's just that I never thought that Brother Long had become "cautious", but the new "peasant officials" were domineering: "What are you afraid of?" If there is a prevarication by the owner of the village and the owner of the cave, and it happens to be charged with 'intending to corrupt the military and political affairs of the imperial court', we will kill them first, and then throw the credit to the Tang army, which happens to be very happy. Those natives who have their own courage should be killed. ”
“……”
Can I give up my big brother seat to you?
Ryugoro was speechless for a while, but he also had to admit that the idea of a "peasant official" was very correct and reasonable.
With the back of the imperial court, what else is there to say? Even if there are natives who want to sue the emperor, and everyone is dead, don't you just say it yourself?
