And just having money, it doesn't matter how many roads you have, you can't buy it!

It's just that there are a lot of expensive furniture, but how to look at it feels like it's a patchwork of strangeness, it stands to reason that there is nothing wrong with putting these in the house, but at this moment these things are placed here, it gives people a very awkward feeling. It's obviously not messy, but it's just uncoordinated, it seems that the owner's family has these belongings, and they have to be stuffed in.

In fact, Su Yimo's study was robbed by the thieves of Liuling Mountain and the people who came in from behind, and many of the things in it were gone, and these belongings were purchased at a great cost in order to save face. But he didn't bother to take care of the arrangement, so he moved back and put it inside, anyway, he thought it was good.

When Su Shaoyou came in, Su Yimo was leaning on the Luohan bed, holding a book in his hand, looking at it slowly. From time to time, I picked up the teacup on the small flat table and took a sip gently.

He seems to be very leisurely and indifferent, unhurried, but Su Shaoyou has been with his father and son for many years, how can he not know his father's temperament? I'm afraid it's all pretended to be strong, and sure enough, he took a look, and his father heard the sound of himself coming in, and his ears moved obviously, and his hands trembled.

Su Yimo raised his head and asked lightly, "Are you back?" ”

He spoke very smoothly and slowly, but Su Shaoyou could see the anxious look in his eyes.

However, Su Shaoyou naturally will not expose his father, Su Yimo's tutor is still very strict, and he is still afraid of his own father after seeing through it.

"Yes." Su Shaoyou responded, and stood aside with his hands down.

Su Yimo sat up straight slowly, and pointed to the other side of the Luohan couch: "Sit down, let's two of you, what are you doing outside like this?" ”

Su Shaoyou responded, so he came over to do it, Su Yimo coughed, and was about to bring the teacup, Su Shaoyou quickly got up and brought the tea, and handed it to his father with both hands. Su Yimo glanced at him, drank the tea and put it down, and then asked, "What, you went to meet this time, what did Feng Xianzun say?" ”

There was some eagerness in his expression, but he just held back.

"The child and Feng Xianzun have met, and they also told us about the situation of our family, those grains have been taxed, but they are just ......," Su Shaoyou said hesitantly.

"Just what?" Su Yimo's face suddenly sank, and he hurriedly asked.

Su Shaoyou sighed and said in a low voice: "The new one is not easy to talk to, the child told him that we were attacked by bandits, so some of the grain has not been collected, and I asked the eldest lord for some time, but he asked me how long I want to be lenient." The child had the audacity to say that it would be delayed until the next tax collection was completed? Haven't we all done this many times before? Others have done the same! ”

Su Yimo asked, "And then?" ”

Su Shaoyou smiled bitterly: "The old man refused, saying that our family should have paid taxes last year, but it shouldn't have been delayed until now." He only gave half a month, and if the shortage within half a month could not be handed over, he would have to pay the officials, and if we were not able to collect taxes effectively, we would be removed from our family's post as the chief of grain! ”

"What? Are you going to remove our food chief? ”

Su Yimo was suddenly furious, slapped the bed board fiercely, and shouted: "The yellow-mouthed boy dares!" ”

He was obviously furious, even his beard trembled with anger, and his face turned red.

The province of Ming Chengyuan was renamed the Chengxuan Political Envoy Division. Datong Road was changed to Datong Mansion in the second year of Hongwu, and belonged to the Shanxi Chengxuan Political Envoy Division. Datong Prefecture has jurisdiction over the four prefectures of Hunyuan, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Ulzhou, as well as the seven counties of Datong, Huairen, Mayi, Shanyin, Guangling, Lingqiu and Guangchang. Ming implemented the guard system, Datong Town is one of the important towns on the nine sides, and the command of the Shanxi line in the five years of Hongwu is located in Datong. In the seventh year of Yongle, the chief military officer of the town guard was set up, and he was the supreme commander of the town. Chenghua set up a governor in ten years, and Zhengde set up a general system in eight years.

In addition, because although there are many military households in the locality, the number of civilian households is also increasing day by day, and if it is still managed by the local garrison generals, it will inevitably be inconvenient, so the county administration is set up and pastoral officials are stationed.

Below the boundaries of this Datong territory, there are uneven military and civil management, some of which are under the garrison management of military forts, and some are under the jurisdiction of local county orders. The following counties listen to Datong Mansion, and the military forts below should nominally listen to the general army of Datong Town, but it is the military preparation road that really manages them, and the military preparation road is neither under the management of Datong Mansion nor under the management of the general army of Datong Town, but directly under the political envoy of Shanxi, and even the governor of Datong and the governor of Xuanda have no management power over them in name, but in fact, it is the governor of Xuanda who is in charge of the governor of Datong, the governor of Xuanfu, and the governor of Datong is in charge of the military preparation road below. However, the military preparation road has the authority to directly go to the governor of Xuanda and even directly to the imperial court.

Clamping each other down and not subordinating each other, and being able to manage some of them to some extent, is simply chaotic.

It is precisely because there are both military and civilian management that the relationship between the localities is very complicated.

Datong front and rear guards, two guards to govern Datong, Datong left guard, Yunchuan Wei, two guards to govern Zuoyun County, Datong right guard, Yulin Wei, two guards to govern right Yu County, Yang Hewei, Gaoshan Wei, two guards to govern Yanggao County, Tiancheng Wei, Zhenyu Wei, two guards to govern Tianzhen County, Pingyu Wei, Zhi Pinglu County, Wei Yuanwei, right Yu County South. In addition to these guards, there are also Jingping thousand households, etc., a total of thirteen guards, eight hundred and twenty-three forts, and three hundred and seven piers.

All the people in Lingyidu and the surrounding territory are under the jurisdiction of Zuoyun County, and it is actually Su Yimo, the grain chief, who is in charge of this area.

In addition to collecting and collecting taxes, there is also a very important point in the duties of the grain chief, which is to transport the grain taxes paid to the county seat.

In the past period of time, Su Yimo and Su Shaoyou spent all their energy on this, except for sending people to the countryside to urge.

For the grain chiefs all over the world, this is also the most important thing in their year, and it is the biggest event in this life.

In fact, it is also a great burden for them.

In ancient times, transporting grain, especially long-distance transport, was a costly project. For example, when there was a war at the border pass, almost every bag of rice was transported in the rear, and in the process of transporting grain, the people had to consume three times as many truckloads of rice grain.

No way, it's really because the road conditions and means of transportation are too poor.

If the south is better, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, the waterways extend in all directions, after thousands of years of operation, whether it is artificial or natural rivers do not know how many, seven around and around, after all, you can find a way. Almost every village and town has a waterway that leads directly to the county seat or even the provincial capital, and these water systems are natural roads. Moreover, the carrying capacity of the ships is by no means comparable to that of ordinary horse-drawn carriages.

Not to mention the large treasure ships with a carrying capacity of thousands of tons, that is, more than tens of thousands of stones, they were the sand ships widely used in the south at this time, and the carrying capacity was also very expensive.

The bottom of the sand boat can sit on the beach, not afraid of running aground, and it is safe in the wind and waves. Especially when the wind direction and tide direction are different, because the bottom is flat and the draft is shallow, it is less affected by the tide and is safer. The sand boat can adjust the Russian fighting wind, sail with the wind and headwind, and even sail against the wind and water, and has good seaworthiness. The initial stability of the ship width is large, and there are various equipment to maintain stability, so the stability is the best. Multi-mast and multi-sail, high sail is conducive to making wind, shallow draft, low resistance, and good sailability.

Moreover, the sand boat has a small draft, regardless of whether it is inland or coastal, it can run, and inland rivers, as long as the water is not too narrow and too shallow, can also enter.

The sand boat can sail in force 7 winds and can withstand waves, so its range can even reach as far as Africa. It's also remarkable to be able to walk inland rivers and go to the ocean for tens of thousands of miles.

The carrying capacity of a sand boat is generally between 4,000 and 6,000 stones, and just one ship's grain is equivalent to hundreds of carriages. You must know that nowadays, the grain transported by a horse-drawn cart is only between a dozen and dozens of stones.

This kind of sand boat is not uncommon, and the local grain chief can hire it for a small amount of money if he is attentive, and as long as he has such a ship, all the taxes and grains levied in his own area will not have to worry. And even if there are no sand boats, even if they are awning boats and small fishing boats for farmers' own use, the carrying capacity is not bad.

Even in later generations, shipping was the most cost-effective and most expensive way of transportation, and it could be compared with the trains and automobiles of later generations, and in this era, shipping had the upper hand.

It's just that its limitations are too great, and it is naturally no obstacle in the south of the Yangtze River, but it will not work in the north.

In comparison, if you want to transport grain in the north, the cost on the road is more than 100 times higher than that in the southern water towns.

Take the grain collected by Su Yimo in this grain area of about 4,000 stones, to be transported to Zuoyun County, if it is a one-time, then it will take hundreds of carriages - in fact, the Ming Dynasty also has a large load of carriages, according to the records of Song Yingxing Tiangong Kaiwu, the four-wheeled carriage of the Ming Dynasty, there can be a trailer behind, the most sixteen trailer carts can carry more than 50 stone of goods, one stone in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to nearly 200 catties in later generations, 50 stone is about 5 tons, this is already a considerable load capacity, It is almost comparable to some cars of later generations.

However, this kind of four-wheeled carriage can only go straight, cannot turn, and the requirements for road conditions are quite high - basically there is no other road except the official road. Because of these restrictions, this kind of four-wheeled carriage has not been popularized, and it is only used in some places in the south.

At this time, most of the carriages were still two-wheeled carriages, and the carrying capacity was very limited. The Su family naturally couldn't find hundreds of carriages, even if they could, they were reluctant to spend them, so they raised a lot of carts to and from Lingyidu and Zuoyun County, and shipped them back and forth. Su Shaoyou is in charge of staring at this.
