Chapter 114: The Water Thief (II)

The six counties of Yizhou are shrouded in red air.

On the top, from the three-grade tripod, a layer of dark green gas is tumbling, it seems that dark green gas is the ancient standard, according to the current standard, it is blue.

The canopy on the body, among the five colors, there is most of the cyan.

After a few months, I saw that the luck had stabilized, and the slightest white gas had infiltrated from time to time, but at this time, the luck had been very large, and at a glance, the whole body was full of tumbling luck.

Wang Hongyi suddenly remembered the record of Shakyamuni Nirvana on the earth: one zhang two.

Even with the power of Shakyamuni, when he lived, he did not accumulate for thousands of years, and his luck was not as good as the head of a state.

Not to mention the Lord of the World?

Thinking of this, Wang Hongyi only smiled, and left the sailor on the way back to Chengdu Mansion, Wang Hongyi was in a good mood, and when he saw that his luck was stable, he knew that he could use soldiers.

"Ganhou, you go and call the king from the door, let him come directly to the Secret Pavilion" Returning to Chengdu, in front of the palace gate, Wang Hongyi directly commanded.

"Yes, my lord. Gan Hou hurriedly left.

Wang Hongyi sat directly on the Chengyu and walked to the Secret Pavilion, and when he arrived inside, there were eunuchs who hurriedly fetched water, took a bath and changed clothes, and when they came out, they were relaxed, picked up the cup, and took a sip gently.

"The king asks to see you from the door" At this time, a voice came in.

"Come in. Wang Hongyi said.

After a while, Wang came in through the door and saluted, and Wang Hongyi said, "Get up, how is the situation of the Thirteen Divisions?"

"Lord, the deployment of the six counties has been arranged, Long Jian and Qin Chuan are being placed through merchants, and there are already a hundred households in Jingzhou. ”

The design of the 13th Division is completely Wang Hongyi's copy of Jinyi Wei and Factory Wei.

The current grade of the Thirteenth Division is the seventh grade, Wang Congmen is the seventh grade, and the official name of its official product is "Jinyi Zhizhi Yushi", and the following is responsible for the specific work of the hundred households.

Each county has a 100-household household with a legal establishment of 105 people, who are responsible for spying on local intelligence, including officials.

Each county has a general flag or a small flag depending on its importance, with 30 people in charge of the general flag and 10 people in charge of the small flag.

In fact, according to the theory on the earth, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty set up the school captain and embroidered clothes to point to the imperial history, and Cao Cao set up a larger scale of "school affairs" and "schools", which formally determined the status of this institution in the governments of previous dynasties.

The "Hou Guan" in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the "Internal Guard" in the Tang Dynasty, and the "Jinyi Guard" in the Ming Dynasty are actually the same thing.

"The hundred households sent to Jingzhou, what information has been sent back?" Wang Hongyi asked directly.

Wang Congmen is the brocade of the thirteen divisions directly pointing to the imperial history, and at the same time responsible for transmitting the information summary, every three days, the counties send back a lot of information, all handed to Wang Hongyi, which is unreasonable.

That's how it was for intelligence reporting.

First, all the information must be sorted out and handed over to the palace archive, which is the basis for checking whether the information has been withheld.

Secondly, Wang Congmen was responsible for picking out the important ones from these intelligences, putting them together and reporting them, and handing them over to the Secret Literature Pavilion, and Zhang Youzhi would refine the information.

But Wang Congmen itself has the right to play and can bypass Zhang Youzhi.

Wang Hongyi attaches great importance to Jingzhou, and since the establishment of the Thirteenth Division, hundreds of households have been sent there.

During this period of time, the information was returned, Wang Congmen was clear, and when he heard Wang Hongyi ask, he replied respectfully: "My lord, in Jingzhou, Jiangling and Wuling counties, they have fallen into the hands of Zheng Pingyuan, Zheng Pingyuan rewarded 30,000 taels of silver to the navy, and promoted many sailor generals, but in addition, there is no big movement, it seems to be repaired." ”

After Wang Hongyi heard this, he was silent for a moment, tapped his fingers lightly a few times, and asked, "How much information do you know about the Jingzhou water thieves?"

Wang Congmen replied: "Lord, there are a lot of water thieves in Jingzhou, but there are not many people who are deliberately enemies with the government, most of them are entrenched in the cracks of the rivers, they do not follow each other, they only plunder the passing merchant ships on weekdays, and occasionally they are big households in Jingzhou, and they do not have much intrusion on the local area. ”

"The Jingzhou Sailor has never recruited them?" Wang Hongyi listened silently before asking.

Wang Congmen responded: "My lord, there are many sailors in Jingzhou, and most of the water thieves are composed of homeless criminals, how can these people be tolerated by the government? ”

Wang Hongyi frowned and groaned, understanding that in the final analysis, this matter is the difference between Yizhou and Jingzhou, there are few water thieves in Yizhou, so even water thieves want it, Jingzhou has a strong regular water master, what is the use of wanting this water thief?

"Recently, people have paid close attention to the situation in Jingzhou, and the information related to the sailors has been handed over, and Zhang Fan has directly recruited water thieves, and the specific situation has been closely followed. ”

"Yes, my lord. The king replied respectfully.

At this time, someone came in to report: "Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi are outside asking to see." ”

The king hurriedly bowed down from the door and said, "My lord, the minister has retired first." ”

"Well, stand down. Wang Hongyi nodded, and at the same time said to the guard: "Please"

Wang cautiously retreated from the door and walked face to face with Yu Liangbo and Zhang Youzhi, and the three nodded and smiled, passing by.

"You all sit down and talk" Wang Hongyi saw them come in, so he asked them to sit down: "Yu Liangbo, you speak first"

Yu Liangbo said solemnly: "Yes, the spring reclamation of all counties is going on, the new displaced people have been assigned, and the six divisions are running smoothly. ”

"What the minister wants to tell is the river transport, we take the Song family as the lead, go to Jingzhou and even Yangzhou to buy grain, the estuaries of the counties are OK, that is, the Jiangling and Wuling counties controlled by Zheng Pingyuan, the checkpoints are very strict, although it is not possible to talk about all the seizures, but it is necessary to pay additional money, each boat has to pay twenty taels of silver, and this alone will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

Yu Liangbo was confident, elaborated on the internal affairs of various places, and said for a moment.

Wang Hongyi listened silently, Dongyizhou is fertile for thousands of miles, in fact, there is no shortage of food, but it has only been calmed, and it will not be until next year that there will really be no shortage of food, and now it is necessary to use troops on a large scale, and in the future, it will be necessary to appease Xiyizhou, and this food gap will be big.

"What is the food deficit right now?"

"Lord, counting the tax exemption in Xiyi Prefecture for a year, there is a shortage of 500,000 stones, and now the cost of buying grain, one tael of silver can only buy four stone of rice, counting the freight checkpoint, one tael of silver is only two stones, which is 250,000 taels of silver. Speaking of this, Yu Liangbo couldn't help but be speechless.

Wang Hongyi's current gold ore output is 10,000 taels a year, equivalent to 100,000 taels of silver, and there is still a gap of 150,000 taels.

Wang Hongyi thought about it for a while, and said: "The Wei family has 300,000 taels of silver, I gave half to the household, and the rest of the silver will be all out."

Wang Hongyi turned his face to look at Zhang Youzhi and asked, "What are the movements in the military and political aspects?"

Zhang Youyi smiled and said: "According to the information summarized, the situation in each capital is good, and the regular soldiers are divided into fields and households, and there are rewards, all of them are stable, and if it is not for the grain depot to appease the people of Xiyizhou, there will be a lot of military rations." ”

"Attacking Xiyizhou, the minister has already made a plan for this, please see. As he spoke, he took out a volume of documents and handed it to Wang Hongyi, with a brief explanation in his mouth.

"Xiyi Prefecture is broken again, it is also a state, the lord is inevitable, the lord led an army of 30,000, and even broke the two towns of Yueshan and Yongchang, which is the first goal. ”

"The four counties of Jianshan, Yuecheng, Qinghe, and Quang Ninh can be handed over, and the ministers and other counselors think that it is better for Dingnan County not to take it now. ”

"The lord decided on Xiyizhou, and according to the lord's plan, Lord Bai Ding was the general of the barbarians, and the four counties of Jianshan, Yuecheng, Qinghe, and Guangning were strangled and killed. ”

To put it bluntly, this plan is very well considered, the Marquis of Shu was first built, and at this time there can be no general's merits, so the capture of Xiyizhou must be Wang Hongyi's personal expedition.

But the second stage is hard work, and it is also dirty work, which naturally cannot be done by Wang Hongyi.

Thinking in his heart, he said with a smile: "What if you encounter a large-scale attack by the mountain tribe?"

Zhang Yu arched and said: "The matter of the mountain tribe, what I am afraid of is not war, but not fighting, if you hide in the mountains, it is difficult, if the mountain tribe dares to gather 50,000 to fight, it is a good thing, my town will defeat it in one fell swoop, and all the prisoners will be enslaved, and the problem of the mountain tribe will be solved." ”

"But I'm afraid that there is no such good thing, the lord said the eight banners before, the minister is deeply understood, in the counselor's plan, there is this, there are sixty tribes in the mountains, tens of thousands of people, thousands of small people, it is impossible to work together, the minister thinks, there are mountain tribes that have taken refuge, they will be set up as eight banners, and heavy rewards"

Eight Banners, Wang Hongyi has already said something, and when he flipped through it, there was indeed one, Wang Hongyi frowned and asked, "Heavy reward?"

"Yes, the minister thinks that the lord will be decided in one year, which means that within one year, the mountain tribe will be unable to influence the two states. ”

"The lord sent troops, and there were mountain tribes along the way, of course, to defeat them, and all the men of his tribe were punished to the copper and silver mountains as slaves. ”

"After the great victory, there are mountain tribes to take refuge, there is an internal response, this is first to move to the city, set up as the eight banners, the second is to reward money and food, and then after attacking the mountain tribe, order the eight banners to be executed, kill all the men, make them stained with the blood of the mountain tribes, and half of the wealth and women, all of them are rewarded. ”

Hearing this, Yu Liangbo couldn't help but move his body and raised his head in shock.

When Wang Hongyi heard this, he didn't speak at first, but at this time the sky was already dark, and Wang Hongyi ordered the eunuch to put the lamp in his hand.

Under the light, Wang Hongyi looked at the two of them, only to see Zhang Youzhi and Yu Liangbo, both of whom were magnificent and had a peaceful demeanor, and couldn't help but secretly think: "I saw it last year, but I was just a talented man, and now the more fortunate the city government is, it can be regarded as the childish form of a famous minister." ”

Then he asked, "Reward half of the wealth and women, aren't you afraid that the tail will not fall?"

It means that the newly built Eight Banners in the mountains have gained a lot of wealth and manpower, and when they become stronger, they will become even more troublesome.
