Chapter 665: Liaodong Group

"This autumn's bumper harvest, now the entire six counties and eighteen counties of Andong, including the military tuntian, even the military fields of the government soldiers, and the farmland of the common people have also begun to be mixed, and after planting wheat in one season, soybeans, millet or sorghum can also be mixed with soybeans, millet or sorghum, so that the grain has been greatly increased, and at the same time, the soybeans and sorghum obtained can also be used as fodder for military horses, greatly increasing the cavalry strength of our loyal army."

Wang Ziming, the ambassador of Andong Dao Jiedu Zhiyingtian, made Luo Cheng very satisfied. Wang Ziming has followed Luo Cheng for several years, and has always been responsible for taking care of Luo Cheng's financial money, he is experienced and conscientious in this regard, and he is a good housekeeper of money bags.

Previously, after the imperial court opened the road and set up envoys, it set up camp envoys in various provinces of the border pass to be responsible for the affairs of Tuntian. In Andong Province, Wang Zi Mingte is also the envoy, who is responsible for the dispatch of military funds and the finance of the envoy. Therefore, he is actually the ambassador of Yingtian, and he is also a military food envoy.

Tuntian was subordinate to the Ministry of Industry in the imperial court, and the Ministry of Industry was the general agency, and the local government had a special management body.

"Our Andong Daojun Tun is 50 hectares per tun, and the Mintun is also 50 hectares per tun. Each tun has a tun master, a tun deputy one, and five tuns are placed in prison and unified by the city. ”

The tuntian in Andong Province is something that Luo Cheng attaches great importance to, which involves the need for military rations.

Therefore, Wang Ziming's degree is the ambassador of Yingtian, and there are also deputy ambassadors of Yingtian, envoys of Yingtian, deputy envoys of Yingtian, judges of Yingtian, and Tian Cao to participate in the military.

And below, there is a tun in 50 hectares, and there are tun masters and tun deputies. The five tuns set up a tun supervisor and tun cheng, all of which are grassroots tuntian officials.

"Food is the foundation, the people take food as the sky, and we are the frontier theater, the military food is the foundation of the army, the soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and the army is in danger if there is no food. We must attach great importance to Tuntian and must not slacken. ”

It is at Luo Cheng's insistence that the Tuntian business in Andong Road is now booming.

The first is the military tun, the military tun is subordinate to the loyal army of the tuntian, basically every military town, fort, military station, and even the edge of the beacon has a military tun, its field by the garrison and the military tun slave is responsible for cultivating and counting. Two-thirds of the harvest from the tuntian fields was kept in the grain storage of the military town and fort where it was located for war readiness, and one-third was handed over to the nearby big city for reserve and dispatch.

In addition to these military tuntians directly subordinate to the military government, there are other mintun, mintun is the official field under the yamen of the jiedu envoy, but the people who cultivate it are the people or the official tuntian slaves, and the common people tuntian are tenants to pay rent, and the official tuntian slaves also pay rent, but the rent amount is different.

The grain collected by these people is to enter the Jiedu envoy and the counties below, Luo Cheng also rents the grain obtained from the field, divides it into shares, one-third stays in the county granary, one-third is handed over to the county granary, and one-third is handed over to the granary of the Jiedu envoy.

Relying on this military tun and the people's tun, there is now grain in the granaries of all military towns and counties.

On the other hand, the people also had food in their storehouses.

The government soldiers also have their own soldiers, Yongye Tian and Kou Fentian, their family members also have Yongye Tian and Kou Fentian, and many of those immigrants who came to the Central Plains have also been allocated fields. Even many exiled criminals were able to convert the official fields they had cultivated into their own Yongye fields and fields after the completion of the 10 years of Anton's tuntian.

Of course, this is not counting the large number of public fields, job fields, school fields, etc., and there are quite a few of them.

Luo Cheng's purpose for the development of the entire Andong Province is very clear, that is, to rely on Liao soldiers to defend Liao land and rely on Liao people to raise Liao soldiers. Self-sufficient, you don't have to rely on the supply of Kannai, so you are not afraid of Kannai pinching your throat.

It is only after they have achieved self-sufficiency, especially after they have achieved food and clothing, that they have the opportunity to talk about other things.

Grain production is the first priority of Andong Province, grain self-sufficiency, surplus grain, in order to talk about development, expand Xinjiang.

Now Wang Ziming told Luo Cheng that under the vigorous development of Andong Province in Juntun and Mintun, as well as the simultaneous development of land granting equal land, grain production has been stable, and the number of cultivated fields has continued to increase, especially after mixed cropping, grain output has been continuously improved.

The income from the military cantonment alone is completely sufficient for the army, and there is always a surplus. In the granary of the county, it is also full of granaries.

Not to mention, in the 90 townships of six counties and 18 counties, in the Yicang of each township, a lot of Yicang grain with the nature of land tax has also been accumulated.

It is precisely by relying on these grains that the price of grain in Andong Province is much more stable than that of the Central Plains, and the bucket of rice is only twenty yuan.

According to Luo Cheng's thinking, if you want to strengthen the army, you must first have food, and then you must have money, otherwise how to strengthen the army?

Therefore, after the development of agriculture in Tuntian, it is necessary to develop some pillar industries to develop and expand Anton, such as animal husbandry, such as trade in border markets, and then mineral iron smelting, shipbuilding, winemaking, etc.

However, Anton's silk weaving was a major weakness, but it was made up for by trading directly from the sea and the southeastern coast.

In the future, the construction of ordnance of the loyal army must rely on self-creation, recruit and train craftsmen by itself, and establish ordnance manufacturing workshops by itself, from arrowheads to spearheads, and then from horizontal knives to horse lances, bows, crossbows, and armor, they should all have the ability to make their own. Moreover, the iron materials needed should be ordered for their own iron factories, and their own iron factories can drive the development of their own mines.

Of course, there are still many industries that can be developed in the future, such as papermaking. The price of paper has always been very expensive, and the technology has always been in the hands of some families, but if you can get the technology, the prospect of paper making is very high, and the profit is very high.

In addition, if the iron ore and iron factory ordnance manufacturing industry develops, it can also lead to the development of civilian iron products, such as making some iron pots, kitchen knives, hoes, etc., and can even be exported to the grassland, whether it is the Turkic people or the Khitans, they are extremely eager for iron products, and an iron pot may be a symbol of status.

Of course, Luo Cheng is not the kind of person who is dedicated to the public.

Andong Province has developed and built in an all-round way, and he has not neglected the generals and soldiers who follow him.

In addition to each of the officials, there are additional officials who are given a Yongye field, Xuntian, and office field, and even receive benefits from the public office.

Not to mention, Luo Cheng, through the development of trade and other industries, coupled with commercial taxes, made all yamen rich. The money is still a three-point system, one point to stay in the county, one point to the county, and one point to hand over the festival to make the yamen.

For each yamen, Luo Chengdu deliberately left enough money for the public party, and even arranged an office fund for officials at all levels.

Anyway, if you have money, everyone will send it together.

But Luo Cheng also has several prohibitions, the first of which is to prohibit officers from eating empty quotas and hanging empty books to deduct and embezzle military funds, which is strictly prohibited, and once discovered, there will be no mercy.

The number of soldiers selected is not empty, there are as many as many, and even Luo Cheng has to take out another money to form a large number of county soldiers and townships with good equipment.

Others may try to get some empty money to suck some soldiers' blood, but Luo Cheng wishes he could get more soldiers.

So now the Zhongwu Army has a lot of 51,000 government soldiers, and there are nearly 50,000 county soldiers, and each army general also has some of their own family generals, not to mention that Luo Cheng's Yi'er battalion is now quite a lot, and all counties and counties still have a township Yongtu regiment that is diligent in training and not badly equipped.

It can be said that now the entire Andong Province has initially formed a group of military landlords headed by Yiluo, from the Jiedu envoys to the government soldiers, all of them are landlords.

The Liao people guard the Liao land, this is the consensus of the loyal army now, they are the Liao people, and the Liao land is theirs.
