Chapter 127: Releasing Grain (II)

Yongchang County.The temporary Shuhou Mansion already has a man from East and West Yizhou, who is sitting behind the table at this time. In front of him, there are the actual household registration accounts of several counties in Xiyi Prefecture.

"It's really a mess, more than half of the fields in Xiyi Prefecture are barren and uncultivated, and most of them are fertile and fertile fields...... and then threw away a volume, Wang Hongyi held his forehead with his hand, feeling that the task was arduous.

In a few months, I am afraid that it will not be too late to sow winter wheat.

East and West Yizhou, the biggest tragedy, is that a few decades ago, the Shilong Festival rebellion, swept through Shuzhong, the imperial court sent a large army to encircle and suppress, killing hundreds of miles, ten rooms and nine empty.

Shu is depressed for 100 miles, the population is cut off, the land of Jinghua is almost the same as the wasteland, only near the Fucheng, only to see some populated and surviving villages.

At present, there are only 700,000 people in the entire Dongyi Prefecture, and 300,000 people in the statistics of Xiyi Prefecture.

The actual population, of course, is more than that, and does not include the minor children of the head of the household, as well as a large number of slaves and servants with attached relationships.

And most of the tenants are hidden and falsely reported by the owner's family.

But even so, you can see the tragedy of the chaos back then.

The population of Longjian is not large, and with Hanzhong, it is estimated that there are only 300,000 people, which leads to a situation where there are many people in the area, which is also the focus of the next step.

Shuzhong is rich in products, brocade, monofilament, hemp, cane sugar, wine, and paper are abundant.

And Shu produces a large amount of copper, and the country of abundance is not a hypothesis.

However, once peace is restored in Shuzhong, a large amount of materials can be produced immediately, not to mention that food is more than enough for self-sufficiency, and it can also be transported.

In troubled times, the most useful thing is not gold and silver, not land and houses, but food.

Wang Hongyi has a clear understanding of this, and if he wants to work hard to restore production, he can accumulate the capital of the king to dominate the world, and of course, he still needs the population.

"Someone!" he looked up and shouted outside.

"Lord, what do you command?" he heard the voice, and a man stepped in from outside, facing him, and said respectfully.

"Tell the stove to boil more refreshing ginseng soup, bring one first, and prepare the rest for a while. Rubbing his temples, Wang Hongyi felt that it was too early to sleep these days. When he entered Xiyizhou, he said that there were not many things, and there were too many things that he needed to deal with, and if he rested, he was afraid that he would have to wait for reclamation and recultivation.

"No. The minister withdrew.

Wang Hongyi flipped through the accounts for a while, and then saw the account books put down, got up and walked to the window, and slammed open the wooden window. A breeze mixed with the smell of grass, blowing in the face, the feeling of tightness in the chest, this side feels better.

Because there were many things to deal with in Xiyi Prefecture, Wang Hongyi temporarily settled in Xu Jinfu in Yongchang County. Xu Jinfu has a lot of violations, and there is not much time to build a new one, and everything looks very new, and now it is cheaper Wang Hongyi.

The room temporarily set up as a study, built on the water, opened the wooden window, facing a pool of clear water, lotus flowers blooming on the water, close to it, even the probe can touch it.

However, at this time, the place that seemed to be pleasant was a ghost place where the old servants of the mansion had changed color a few days ago.

"It's a pathetic thing, it's all over the place. Thinking of the soul of the woman who was driven here a few days ago, Wang Hongyi sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, a soft female voice said behind him: "Actually, this woman has only stumbled and fallen into the water before, and she has no grievances, but she has suffered this calamity soon after her marriage, and she is unwilling." If she is exceeded, maybe she will be able to get rid of her misery sooner, which is not a good thing for her. ”

"Su'er, are you here?" Hearing this, Wang Hongyi turned around and happened to see Su'er, standing beside the table with a smile on his face, looking at him.

After a few days, Su'er's weather changed greatly.

The purple dress and bright skirt, with an elegant and quiet look on her face, and her skin bullying the frost and snow, gently touched Wang Hongyi's heartstrings, and more importantly, the red and yellow qi in Wang Hongyi's eyes seemed to have changed a little.

According to the Dayan system, the queen is super productive, and the four concubines are one product (noble concubine, lady concubine, virtuous concubine), and there are nine concubines and two products, and there is no quota under the nine concubines.

Wang Hongyi is the master of entrepreneurship, and the Marquis of Shu is at the highest apex, but at present, it is actually equivalent to three products.

Song Xinyou enjoys a positive four-grade qi number, while Zhao Wan is second, with the luck of the positive fifth-grade, and Su'er again, with the positive six-pin, this luck is a fixed one every day.

If it is an ordinary person, it will subtly change people, this is the migration of qi and the body, generally speaking, there are obvious changes in half a year.

For those who have cultivated to the point where they can use their luck, this is the morality of every day, which can transform the power of virtue and mana into success.

Placing the bowl containing the ginseng soup lightly on the table, Su'er said to him: "It's just that I happened to meet the person who delivered the ginseng soup on the road, so I brought it directly." These things, the two sisters are here, and they will also bring them. ”

While speaking, Yu picked up the lid of the bowl with his hand, used the soup spoon, stirred it lightly a few times, and raised his head: "Husband, drink it while it's hot." However, although this thing is refreshing, it should not be excessive. No matter how busy you are, you should pay attention to this routine. ”

"It's just that I've been busy for a few days, and I'll be fine in a while. Wang Hongyi walked over, sat down and drank a few sips, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, and asked: "Su'er, what is the habit of living here?" I heard that this mansion is very uneasy, except for the small lake in front of this study, several other mansions are also not very peaceful, have you noticed it now?"

"Even if there are some ghosts and the like, there is a husband here, and they don't dare to approach this place. The husband is the Marquis of Shu, and it is when he is prosperous, even if he is a ghost immortal of the underworld, he does not dare to offend, let alone these lonely souls and wild ghosts?" Su Er smiled faintly and said.

"In Xiyi Prefecture, there are many lonely souls and wild ghosts?" Hearing this, Wang Hongyi raised his eyebrows.

Su Er looked out the window and sighed: "It's not just a lot, it's just too many, over the years, there have been too many people who have died in vain in Xiyi Prefecture, and there have been disasters for many years, in fact, one of them is because of the unjust soul." ”

"Is there a way to resolve it?" Wang Hongyi asked.

Su Er shook her head: "These grievances have become a climate, there are already hundreds of ghost kings, some of them are ancestral gods supported by various barbarians, and in the underworld of Xiyi Prefecture, it has become a trend of separation. ”

"I went to Quantai to recruit the old department, and I will kill Yama with a banner of 100,000. Wang Hongyi suddenly thought of this, of course he would not be stupid enough to pronounce it, according to the experience on the earth, these ghost kings each have millions of ghost soldiers (look at the accumulation of time), it is difficult to deal with.

Some ghost kings have won the title of ghost emperor because of this.

Ge Hong recorded the "Five Ghost Emperors" in the "Records of the True Immortals in the Yuan Dynasty" and the "Book in the Pillow", which were written: the Eastern Ghost Emperor ruled Taozhi Mountain, the Southern Ghost Emperor ruled Luofu Mountain, the Western Ghost Emperor ruled the Banner Tomb Mountain, and the Central Ghost Emperor ruled the Baoqian Mountain, and the northern Ghost Emperor was Zhang Heng Yang Yun and ruled Luoyu Mountain.

This is a detailed description of the state of the Underworld.

Even if he is the founding monarch of the Yang world, he only has a million heroic spirits at most, plus the luck of the national dynasty, if he fights with them, he will be injured at most in both defeats, and with the passage of time, his luck will decline, and it will not work.

The matter of 100,000 banners beheading Yama is actually something that cannot be done, it is just an idea.

Wang Hongyi just asked: "The situation of the underworld, is it according to the region?"

In my previous life, when I looked at the underworld, I found that it was a world where the earth's material layer extended, and it can be said that all regions, states, countries, and continents have their own regions.

Therefore, each region has its own religion, its own underworld, its own god of the underworld.

The expansion of the only nation and belief leads to the expansion of the scope of the underworld, and it can be said that the yin division is synchronized with the faith and the country.

Is this world the same?

"What the husband said is that it is true. When Su'er heard this, she glanced at it in surprise, and then said: "Now this situation can't be changed quickly, only the husband is angry and suppressed." ”

"Chiqi?"

"Exactly, the husband inherits the red gas, very noble, now the husband has unified the West Yizhou, with the husband's governance, the West Yizhou gradually disappeared, the red gas, as long as the red gas of the East and West Yizhou merge together, even if it is the resentment of thousands of souls, it is also suppressed, at least it has little impact on the mortal world. ”

Wang Hongyi grasped the meaning of Su'er's words: "What if the red qi can't be fused?"

"That would destabilize the situation and destabilize the regime. Su'er said in a deep voice: "But most of this is only available to the king of no virtue, the husband is wise and martial, and has a deep foundation, but there will be no such thing." ”

As long as the people live and work in peace and contentment and are no longer displaced, the red qi will naturally merge quickly, and on the contrary, there will be some shortcomings. Su'er then said again.

"This is the desire of the people. Wang Hongyi's eyes fell on a stack of account books on the table: "Judging from the field output and household registration over the years, there are a lot of fertile fields in Xiyi Prefecture, which are easy to cultivate, and the grain produced is enough for the people in the territory. ”

The division of feudal towns, or wars, is really shocking, and Wang Hongyi can be regarded as personally comprehending it.

"Lord, Lord Zhang asks to see. At this time, a guard was outside the door to report.

"Husband, since someone asks to see my husband, then I will go to the back house first. "Although Su'er is a doctor of forbidden spells, she basically does not involve people's livelihood and government affairs, and she doesn't want to have too much contact, so as not to be suspected of being a backhouse and asking about politics.

As soon as he heard that Zhang Yuzhi was asking to see him outside, he got up and retired.

Wang Hongyi said in the back: "Although you are the daughter of my inner palace, you can also go out for a walk, but remember to bring the guards, although the situation has stabilized, you should be cautious." ”

"Yes, husband. Su'er looked back and smiled, turned her head again, and walked out.

Wang Hongyi waited for her to go out of the door and ordered the guards to take Zhang Youzhi to the study.

After a while, the dusty Zhang Youzhi walked in from outside.

"What's the feeling, how do you feel about going out on this trip?" asked Wang Hongyi after taking a seat next to him.

Zhang Youzhi took the cup presented by the servant, put it aside, and said to Wang Hongyi first: "There are many victims. Fortunately, the lord decided to open a warehouse to release grain before, and asked all major households in Xiyi Prefecture to contribute grain and efforts to build porridge sheds, otherwise many people would starve to death in just a few days. But even if this is the case, it will only last for half a month and a month, and if the people cannot be self-sufficient and quickly resume production, I am afraid that there will be little food left in the official warehouse. ”

"Anyway, when I came back to you, I was going to discuss the matter. Wang Hongyi patted the account book in front of him: "These are the accounts of previous years, after reading them, I know how much fertile land has been wasted in Xiyi Prefecture in the past few years. Taking advantage of the fact that it is not too late, Lone decided to organize reclamation and recultivation in Xiyi Prefecture, which is considered a season between spring and summer, and when it is over, it can still catch up with planting winter wheat. ”

"Please tell me what you need to do. Zhang Yuzhi immediately got up from his seat and said respectfully.

Wang Hongyi said: "This is originally the matter of Yu Liangbo, Hu Si, and the magistrate, but this matter is important, you continue to supervise the progress of this matter, if there is anything, you just have to report it to Gu." ”

When Zhang Youzhi heard this, he took over this task without objection.

A few days later, all counties, villages and towns in Xiyi Prefecture posted a notice.

In the counties of Xiyi Prefecture, the work for relief is provided with a full supply of pickles and pickles to the laborers, and a meal of meat is much stronger than the food at the soup kitchen, so as to recruit people to reclaim the fields of the officials.

Private land, on the other hand, assists the landlord in cultivating the land by borrowing tools, cattle and horses on credit, and if the terra nullius is cultivated, it will belong to him.

Many measures have mobilized the entire state of Xiyi.

On the day of May 16, the weather was crisp, Wang Hongyi took a carriage, escorted by his attendants, out of the temporary Shu Marquis' mansion, and headed out of the city.

Outside the city of Yongchang County, there is a large area of official farmland.

It was previously owned by Qian Qingfu privately, and after Wang Hongyi took over, it will be used as official land, and all the grain planted will be filled into the official warehouse, which is also used for reward.

When the attendant reminded him that he had arrived in the field, the carriage stopped, and Wang Hongyi got off the carriage and looked to the right.

Large tracts of reclaimed farmland look empty, and the same is true on the left.

"What kind of mountain is in the distance?" Wang Hongyi's gaze swept over the field on the left and landed on the mountain in the distance.

It's full of green, and it looks quite vibrant.

"Back to Hou Ye, there is the mountain range of Yongchang County's mountain gorge, and when you climb over this mountain, it is the boundary of Yueshan County. A guard who knew something inside spoke up.

"Do you walk through this mountain road?" said Wang Hongyi. "I heard that climbing this mountain gives you a panoramic view of Xiyiju, but I don't know if it's true. ”

Looking at the mountains in the distance again, Wang Hongyi had the idea of climbing the mountain to take a look, and immediately ordered to go up the mountain.

At the top of the mountain, shaded by ancient trees, Wang Hongyi condescended and looked down.

Of course, it is nonsense to say that you can see the whole of Xiyizhou, but it is more than enough to watch the land of 100 miles.

Looking down from the mountain, I saw a reddish air mass enveloping the land below, and from a distance, a thicker red qi spread from the direction of Dongyiju.

The red qi gradually diffused, and the two red qi touched each other, fused together, and formed a ball.

Wang Hongyi looked at his luck again, and saw that in addition to purple, the five-color canopy had been completed, and the tripod had expanded to the third grade, and the silk white gas entered and transformed into pure cyan luck, and he couldn't help sighing: "What a country." ”

The name can neither be advanced nor backward, which will lead to bad luck, and backwardness will lead to inability to accommodate, or waste.

After he had decided to go back, he called himself the Duke of Shu.
