0095 No one is farming
Is that really good?
Seeing that his father was openly greedy for the military equipment of the Mo County Government, Shen Zhezi couldn't help but be a little surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info although he plucked his father to serve as the internal history of the council, but it is really unclear what the specific powers of the current uncle are. However, seeing that He Yu and the other Peng subordinates were all looking normal, it seemed that this behavior was also normal, so he nodded to the teenagers.
Seeing Shen Zhezi nodding, the teenagers gave Shen Chong a military salute: "Thank you, Lord Reward!" ”
"Haha! It's my brave part! Each person will be rewarded with 100 silk horses! ”
Shen Chong was slightly stunned when he saw this, and even more smiled, even more satisfied with the private armament trained by his son.
The county government is wide, and it is convenient to connect the county soldier camp, Shen Zhezi ordered the teenagers to go to the camp with the sergeants to settle down, and then entered the official office with his father and his subordinates.
Shen Chong can be said to be extremely satisfied with Lin'er at home, and when he goes out, he will be vertical and horizontal, and if he enters, he will govern his business and prosper his family, and in less than a year, he has trained a group of young soldiers with strict military discipline and prohibitions. In comparison, he, as a father, is a little embarrassed.
He pulled Shen Zhezi to sit beside him, first greeted Ji You with a few words, and then sighed: "The eunuch lives outside, and seeing my son and the children in my family in a foreign land is full of vitality, it makes me feel old and unbearable." ”
He Yu and the others all smiled and said: "Make the monarch the herdsmen of the country, Lang Jun and the young phoenix are clear, and the latter is the successor, which is worthy of being called a full family." ”
If it weren't for the fact that these people were smiling kindly, Shen Zhezi would probably think that they were sarcastic when they heard this. There are more than a dozen people in the audience, except for He Yu, and the rest of Shen Zhezi also saluted one by one, but they also found the problem.
Most of the Shen family's original strength is the power of the Shen family, the members of the family and the generals, as well as the connections that Wu Xing originally had. As for the locals in Huiji, there are only a few including He Yu, which shows that Dad is also unhappy in Huiji.
Regarding his father's ability, Shen Zhezi naturally believes in it. The reason why the situation has not been opened for a long time is that after all, the local clans are too strong and intertwined, and since they have pulled the He faction, the other faction will naturally oppose each other. Huiji other Qingwang clans, there is a gap between the Kong family and the Shen family, not to mention the Yu family, Yu Tan resigned from Wuxing County Zhongzheng as early as the beginning of the year, and he has been idle at home so far.
Shen Chong couldn't mess around at the meeting, and it was indispensable for Shen Zhezi's cheating thing to pull hatred for him.
After not seeing each other for many days, coupled with his son's tiring journey, after the dinner, Shen Chong asked Peng's subordinates to return to their respective posts, leaving room for the father and son to talk privately.
When everyone dispersed and faced his son alone, Shen Chong sighed again: "I'm in Shanyin, listening to what Qingque has done, it's really exciting." It's just that he has been in this official for a long time, and he is quite constrained, and he occasionally feels lazy, but he is not as happy as he used to raise troops. ”
Hearing his father's emotion, Shen Zhezi was not surprised, the transformation was difficult. In the past, I was used to doing things in a direct and bright way, but now I have to deal with the major clans, which really makes people feel depressed when I think about it.
"When I came to the south, I saw that there were a lot of water conservancy in Shanyin, but many of them were half in the middle of it."
Hearing Shen Zhezi mention this topic, Shen Chong was angry: "Water conservancy canals, cold and high doors can benefit." I hate those great clans who are hindered and ignore this great cause! ”
Perhaps because of the resentment in his arms for a long time, Shen Chong told his son about the current situation.
As the rear of Sanwu, the strength and potential of Huiji are beyond doubt. The county has jurisdiction over 10 counties, with more than 40,000 registered households, more than 100,000 hectares of cultivated fields, and more than 50,000 hectares of land directly controlled by the county government alone, and hundreds of millions of taxes and donations every year.
But this is only a literal number, and the actual situation is greatly discounted. Although the county government has a large number of fields, it suffers from no one cultivating them. Ten years ago, there were still more than 20,000 military households, all of which were originally assigned to the people by the army of Tuntian, and directly belonged to the county government.
In the past 10 years or so, there have been few major turmoil such as military disasters, famines, and plagues, but the number of military households has plummeted, and there are only more than 10,000 households left. Therefore, although there are a large number of fields, they are always barren, and the fertile fields have no output, which is embarrassing.
The county government did not have the ability to mobilize a large number of manpower, so it could only rely on the local clans, which did not have the need to repair canals and reclaim the wasteland. In other places, there is no land to cultivate, but Huiji is a vast land and sparsely populated, and the major clans have a lot of opportunities to select the best fertile land, so why spend a lot of manpower and material resources to reclaim wasteland?
In the final analysis, the situation cannot be opened because of the lack of population.
Population is a hard target, not something that money can make up for. Although the Shen family has a big family, they really can't provide much assistance to Shen Chong in this regard. At the beginning of the year, the population inventory of Shenjiatianmu counted nearly 1,000 households, but then there was another round of land annexation. There are also many workshops founded by Shen Zhezi, which also require a lot of labor. The Shen family has now fallen into a labor shortage.
Where did the military households directly under the county government go, Shen Zhezi knew very well. He was mainly engaged in this work in Wukang this year, from the Wukang County Office to the Wuxing County Government, and he picked out more than 1,000 households. Although this part of the population cannot be directly classified as private property, and it is still necessary to donate a fixed amount of money and food, it is certainly not convenient for the government to direct it.
It was very cool when I did this by myself, but when I heard that my father was also facing this dilemma as the chief official, my ass decided my head, and a sense of justice arose spontaneously in my heart, and I was extremely ashamed of the shameless behavior of those big clans. This is the so-called only the governor is allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
But this problem is not a problem at all. Shen Zhezi knows how to solve it, and his father naturally understands how to solve it, but he just can't solve it, this is where the paradox of the situation lies.
From Jinling, Jingkou, all the way to the Jingxiang line, a large number of displaced people have no fixed place, waiting to be fed, not only can not produce anything, but have to rely on the three Wu to help. There are many people along the Yangtze River, and there are few people and many fields here. With the number of acres of land that Huiji has now, even if the new land is not cultivated, it is more than enough to directly resettle 30,000 displaced people and quickly put them into production!
However, the current situation is that the overseas Chinese are holding the people hostage for their own respect, and the southerners are enriching themselves from their own territory, and they are opposed to each other, and no one is willing to give in. A few years ago, the imperial court tried its best to break the ground, but the result was that Wang Dunbing sent Jiankang, and his father Shen Chong and other Wu people responded with strong troops, and the emperor was placed under house arrest and died of grief!
Such a paradoxical situation, Shen Zhezi, a traverser, has nothing to do. The solution is obviously here, if the northland displaced people can be relocated to Wuzhong and put into production, the effect will be better than if he buried himself in the science and technology tree and farmed for 20 years. But the problem is that this has become a taboo for the people of the north and south, whoever touches it will die!
The father and son sat opposite each other, each of them frowning, Shen Chong raised his forehead and sighed: "In the current situation, I can only barely maintain it, and I dare not make any excitement." Uncle Yu sent me a letter beforehand, saying that there was a lot of talk in Taichung that I should move to the town. Although it has not yet been decided, there are rumors of this, which shows that the future is worrying. ”
Shen Zhezi also knew about this matter, and in the middle of the year, the emperor finally exerted his strength and took Jingzhou in one fell swoop, so that Jiaozhou Thorn Shi Tao Kan and Jingzhou Thorn Shi Wang Shu were transferred to the town. As a result, the strength of Wang Jiafang Town was gone, and only Wang Dao was left to support himself in the center.
But the problem is that although Tao Kan has already taken office in Jingzhou, Wang Shu said that he died of illness in Jiankang and did not want to go to that desolate place to take office. At this time, he also regretted that he did not rebel with Wang Dun at the beginning, resulting in a dilemma now.
With such a big political fluctuation, the Shen family is naturally not exempt. Due to the decline of the Wang family, the political situation has become chaotic again, and with the death of Ji Zhan for a long time, the political circle of the Wu people on whom the Shen family originally relied is about to collapse, and a new round of standing forces has begun.
Although Shen Chong was a little reluctant in his heart, he was still getting closer and closer to the Yu brothers and other overseas Chinese in Yuzhou politically. Overseas Chinese are not monolithic, Langya Wang is Qingxu Touma, and the Yu brothers have become the banner of Yuzhou.
Originally, the Shen family was a Wu person, so they would not get mixed with them, but their weakness was that the prestige of the sect was not enough to act as the helmsman of the Wu people, so they could only use this faction to offset the political pressure of the Qingxu Qiaomen.
Thinking of this question, Shen Zhezi also had a big head. It turned out that he was connecting his family with the Yingchuan Yu clan because he knew that once the emperor died, the Yu family would be ruled by relatives, and he would soon fight against the Wang family, and there was a need to take charge of Fang Town. But nowadays, because of his involvement, history has changed.
It turned out that at this point in time, the emperor should have died young. But to this day, he is still alive and well. Delve into the reason, it should be inseparable from Shen Zhezi. In the middle of the year, the emperor issued an edict to let Shen Jiajin offer Liquan real pulp, so Shen Zhezi had a guess that the reason for the early death of the emperor in history was mostly related to the dispersion.
The real pulp offered by the Shen family naturally cannot be a distilled liquor with sufficient workmanship and materials, and it is seriously mixed with water. But even so, it seems that the effect is not weak, at least the emperor is not dead until now.
However, since he had guessed the cause of his death, Shen Zhezi still did not have hope for the emperor, and he did not know what the effect of the water-mixed Liquan real pulp was dispersing, but it was definitely not a panacea. may be able to continue life, but it is difficult to save life. The emperor's life is short, if he doesn't die this year, he will die next year!
Shen Zhezi had no means to interfere with the secret affairs of the palace, and he did not dare to offer enough Liquan real pulp to renew the emperor's life. After all, this is just his speculation, if the emperor is not drunk to death, he will not be able to get rid of it, so try not to clear himself.
For the sake of today's plan, it is necessary not only to solve the dilemma that the situation is difficult to open, but also to resist political pressure to sit firmly in the meeting, and at least to maintain the situation until the emperor's death. After pondering for a long time, Shen Zhezi looked at his father with burning eyes: "Otherwise, send troops again?" ”
