(The second update, ask for a red ticket)

Lin Lian returned to Dongya, first accepted the congratulations of the ordinary officials in the county, learned about the process of autumn grain collection and fortifications, and then abandoned the miscellaneous people, leaving only Lin Mengde, Qin Chengzu, Sun Jingtang, Sun Jingxuan, Hu Zhiyong, Hu Zhicheng and others, even Li Shuyi and Li Shutang were also sent away with miscellaneous matters.

At this time, Lin Mengde personally brought a large stack of booklets and said: "Resettlement of displaced households in Tuntian and Gongtian, a separate register is made in addition to the household registration register, and a single volume is combined with the resettlement of people on Xisha Island, with a total of 26,627 displaced households, and 45,731 Ding Zhuang men over the age of 18 and under the age of 45. This matter is very secret, the transcribers are all credible people, and they are only recorded in one volume, except for all of you, only I have seen Ziang and Mr. Fu......"

The top booklet was written with the words "General Book of Displaced Households", Lin Jian picked it up and flipped through it, and said: "Like the Tuntian booklet, only the sub-books are stored everywhere, and the general book is hidden in the mountains, and it is not for outsiders...... I don't want to say it, but you also know the weight of this stack of books, and you also know why I must clear the dredging before the year. ”

Qin Chengzu has been guarding Changshan Island for a long time, and he has not participated much in the affairs here, and he doesn't even know that the work here is so profound and penetrating.

These pamphlets are detailed in the resettlement of displaced households, and like the detailed accounts of Tuntian and Gongtian, they can be said to be more confidential and dishonorable than the detailed public accounts of the Jiangdong Left Army and the inner treasury - if these pamphlets fell into the hands of political opponents, it would be enough to charge Lin Jian with an intention to rebel.

In Chongzhou, Lin Tie took the lead in promoting the right of permanent tenants on the tuntian and public land, so that the tenants of the tuntian and public land could take root in Chongzhou, and also promoted rent reduction, tax reduction, tax reduction and capitation apportionment, so that these displaced households directly benefited, and the Jiangdong Left Army was able to actively relieve the disaster, so that they could barely survive in Chongzhou with the small land......

In fact, the more than 26,600 homeless households were far more dependent on the Jiangdong Left Army than the local people in Chongzhou, and they were also more loyal to and supportive of the Jiangdong Left Army.

This stack of booklets, on the surface, is the "general register of the displaced households", but in fact it is the "general register of soldiers" of the Jiangdong Left Army, which is the foundation of the Jiangdong Left Army in Chongzhou, and is also the foundation of Lin Tie's separate book.

The thickness of these pamphlets determines the potential of the Jiangdong Left Army and is also the foundation for guiding the military and political affairs of the Jiangdong Left Army.

Lin Jian did not mention the general register of the displaced people, and discussed with everyone the matter of dredging that was urgently carried out immediately.

***********

The greatest significance of the occupation of the Shengsi Islands to Chongzhou is to make Chongzhou a relatively safe inner line.

As long as production is not greatly affected, the annual income of the summer and autumn grain in Chongzhou County will reach the level of more than 300,000 stones, and the Jiangdong Left Army will be able to obtain more than 200,000 grain to support the army, which is a figure that the government and opposition officials dare not imagine.

In addition, the total number of more than 400,000 mu of tuntian and public fields, distributed along the Yunyan River, Xishan River and other river systems, will also be one of the most important sources of military resources for the Jiangdong Left Army.

These are mostly waterlogged, thin fertilizer in the middle and lower acres, can be planted waterlogging tolerant rice (the yield is also low), but can not be replanted after the autumn harvest wheat, resettlement of displaced households to cultivate, with 30% of the rent, considering various disasters and exemptions, a year can also get about 100,000 stone of grain rent income.

The matter of transporting the salt river to desilt is beneficial to the navigable large ships, so that the terrain on the periphery of Chongzhou has the strategy of both offense and defense because of the open river passage of warships, so that Hecheng, Jiuhua, Chongcheng, and Jiangmen are integrated into one, and the water and land are connected.

The Yunyan River is in disrepair for a hundred years, the siltation is serious, and the north of Chongzhou lacks a big river that can drain water, Chongzhou enters the rainy season in April and May every year, so that the disaster in the north of Chongzhou reaches the level of "nine floods in ten years". Ge Siyu has calculated that after the implementation of dredging, the drainage capacity of the Yanyan River will be increased by as much as four or five times, and the waterlogging disaster in the north can be basically eliminated.

The dredging of the salt river can not only increase the yield of farmland in the north of Chongzhou in a large area and substantially, and increase the income of summer and autumn grain, but also the tens of millions of square meters of river bottom mud dug out by dredging can be said to be a treasure of extreme fertility to the farmland.

In addition to greatly improving the living conditions of the tenant farmers and the displaced households in the tuntian, making them more closely dependent on and supporting the Jiangdong Left Army, it can also directly increase the rental income that can be provided by the public land and tuntian.

Because the dredging of the salt river is so important to the significance of the Jiangdong Left Army taking root in Chongzhou, just as the Shengsi islands are the place that must be defended, the salt river must also be dredging before the year.

After these things were done, Lin Jian and the Jiangdong Left Army could be regarded as truly laying a foundation in Chongzhou.

***********

The income from autumn grain is so huge, and a large amount of money has been collected from large local accounts, with a total of 320,000 taels of silver, but the new income from autumn grain has to be used for dredging and transporting the salt river, and even an additional 80,000 taels from the public account to make up for its shortcomings, no wonder Lin Mengde's face is still full of gloomy clouds.

In order to improve the income of the public account, it is necessary to wait until after the collection of grain in the summer and autumn next year, and then it will be possible to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although in mid-October, Jiyun Society obtained more than 60,000 taels of silver from the Jiangning River estuary and the grain roads of Jiang and Jinhai, but after deducting the funds for building the city and dredging, after more than a month of war consumption, there were less than 60,000 taels of silver left in the public account.

Although a large number of armor and warships were captured, it only said that some silver could be spent on the investment of armor and warships in the future, but it could not change the current situation.

Trading with the armor and alliance of the Haiyu Chen family only made it unnecessary for this side to invest too much in the Shengsi defense line.

On the Chongzhou side, the Jinghai No. 1 Water Battalion will be expanded to 1,800 regular soldiers and auxiliary soldiers.

The cavalry battalion should be expanded to 1,200 people, supplemented with 800 ordinary mules and horses, and the expanded 600 people can only be used as horse infantry, not cavalry in the real sense, and Lin Jian no longer has the financial resources to buy 800 high-quality war horses.

The Changshan Secret Camp was to be reorganized into the Changshan Infantry Battalion, with Ao Canghai as the battalion commander, and the number was expanded to 1,200 people.

In this way, in addition to the Shengsi garrison, the garrison of the Chongzhou base camp will also exceed 5,000 people.

Qin Chengzu temporarily took over the position of Fu Qinghe's chief teacher, and Lin Jian transferred Zhao Hu to replace Ao Canghai as the commander of the personal guard battalion.

Considering that the northern front is tight, Lin Jian is unable to support the northern front, and there is no need to directly send large troops to support the northern front, and the elite Tianjin Navy, which has expanded to ten battalions, can become an important support for Li Zhuo on the northern front. In addition, Lin Jian did everything possible to get two more Jiyun-class warships to be sent to Jinhai Jinwei Island to be called by Sun Shangwang, so that the number of military soldiers stationed on Jinwei Island increased to 600.

This kind of thing, considering the unfinished Hecheng War, and then looking at the only 60,000 taels of silver left in the public account, Lin Mengde had the intention of crying, and the big housekeeper was not so easy to be.

Even if the township army rising on the land of Jianghuai may become a potential obstacle to the Jiangdong Left Army in the future, the only way now is to secretly sell a batch of captured armor to save the emergency, and Lin Mengde had to immediately propose to Lin Jian that he should directly set up a gold bureau under the name of the Jinghai Metropolitan Envoy to supplement the shortage of military funds.

*************

The potential of industrial and commercial taxes is a hundred times clearer than anyone else in this era.

In order for the empire to maintain its rule over a vast territory without falling into economic crisis, it should not increase agricultural taxes without limit, pushing the poor peasants to the brink of life and death, and triggering greater crises and turmoil, but should start with industrial and commercial taxes.

Jianghuai City has no merchants and no prosperity, but the current commercial tax and city tax revenue are mainly controlled by the local gentry and wealthy families, and the imperial court has little profit.

Due to the dense water network and convenient transportation, the fields are fertile, and the handicraft industries such as cash crop planting, workshops and workshops, as well as commodity trade, have developed to a considerable extent.

Taking Haiyu County as an example, nearly 10,000 hectares of cotton fields and mulberry orchards are planted, and seven or eight out of ten of the cotton cloth and silk produced are sold to other places, and the potential income from commercial taxes is extremely high. It's just that a large number of mulberry gardens, cotton fields, weaving workshops, cloth villages, and silk villages are controlled by wealthy families such as the Chen family, and it is by no means easy to collect commercial taxes from these local snakes who are really influential in the government and the opposition.

Chongzhou's cotton cloth, silk, grain and oil sales are also very large, in the future Chongzhou as the main outlet to the sea in the Jianghuai land, Jiangdong Left Army to raise funds to raise troops, Lin Jian naturally could not let go of this big cake, he hesitated to what name and the timing was just inappropriate.

Since Lin Mengde proposed the establishment of a gold bureau, Lin Jian shared these issues with everyone for discussion.

"Jiangdong, Haijiang and Jiangkou can only rely on our army to protect them," Qin Chengzu said, "The expansion of the army is inevitable, and it is not harmful to inform the county department and the military department of the actual number of troops." Could it be that the temple ministers and county officials can still ask us to reduce the number of troops at this time? Like Dong Yuan took the lead in eastern Zhejiang, the capital of the Weiyang Army to raise the army must depend on eastern Zhejiang, and there are three places in Hangjiahu to supply. Our army has more than 10,000 soldiers, and the imperial court and the county secretary are embarrassed not to 'give alms' to some of them, according to my opinion, the balance of military funds after the dissolution of the water camp in the original Ninghai Town will be distributed to us. There are still shortcomings, and if we propose to collect the money from the local government, the court and the county secretary can only push the boat down the river......"

Like Cao Ziang, Qin Chengzu is more strategic than leading troops, like when Liumakou was headed by him and Cao Ziang and others, he suffered the loss of indecisiveness. Lin Jian transferred Qin Chengzu to Dongya to replace Fu Qinghe as a teacher, so he could rely on him to plan everything at any time.

Qin Chengzu suggested this, Lin Jian thought about it, okay, the situation is so complicated, he always has to push the problem to the top.
