Chapter 92

Is this really good?
Shen Zhezi couldn't help being a little surprised to see his father blatantly greedy for the military equipment of the Mo County Mansion.Although he urged his father to serve as the internal historian of the Kuaiji, he is really not clear about the specific powers of Fang Bo at the moment.However, seeing that He Xi and the other subordinates looked 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, my lord, for the reward!"

"Haha! As expected of my son's heroic trilogy! Everyone will be rewarded with another hundred pieces of silk!"

Shen Chong was slightly taken aback when he saw this, but immediately smiled, and was even more satisfied with the personal weapons his son had trained.

The county mansion is spacious, and it is conveniently connected to the county army camp at the back. Shen Zhezi ordered the young people to go to the camp with the soldiers and settle down, and then entered the government office with his father and his subordinates.

Shen Chong can be said to be extremely satisfied with Lin'er in his family. When he goes out, he will make troubles, and when he comes in, he will manage his business and prosper his family. In less than a year, he has trained a group of young soldiers with strict military discipline and strict orders.In comparison, he, a father, is a bit ashamed.

He pulled Shen Zhezi to sit by his side, greeted Ji You first, and then sighed: "The eunuch is away, seeing my son in a foreign land and the youth at home are full of vigor, which makes me feel old. "

He Xi and others all laughed and said: "You are a herdsman in Jingguo, and you are a young phoenix Qingming, and the successor is the successor. This is worthy of being called a full family of virtuous people."

If it weren't for these people's friendly smiles, when Shen Zhezi heard this, he would probably think that they were mocking him and being rebellious.There are more than a dozen members of the father present here, except for He Xi, the rest of Shen Zhezi also bowed one by one, and they also found the problem.

Most of the members of the family are the original strength of the Shen family, and the family members and generals, as well as the connections originally owned by Wu Xing.As for the locals in Kuaiji, there are only a few including He Xi, which shows that the old man is not happy in Kuaiji.

Shen Zhezi naturally believed in his father's ability.The reason why the situation could not be opened for a long time was that the local big clans were too powerful and intertwined. Now that one faction of the He family was pulled, the other faction would naturally oppose it.Among the other Qingwang families in Kuaiji, the Kong family and the Shen family already had a gap, not to mention the Yu family. Yu Tan resigned from Wuxing County Zhongzheng early in the year, and has been at home till now.

Shen Chong can't get along in Kuaiji, and it's because of Shen Zhezi's cheating thing to draw hatred for him.

I haven't seen him for many days, and his son was exhausted from the journey. After the dinner, Shen Chong asked his subordinates to return to their respective jobs, leaving space for the father and son to talk privately.

When everyone dispersed and faced his son alone, Shen Chong sighed again: "I am in Shanyin, and I am really excited to hear what you have done, Qingque. It's just that I have been in this official position for a long time, and I feel quite lazy. On the contrary, it is not as pleasant as in the past when raising troops."

Shen Zhezi was not surprised to hear his father's emotion, the transformation is difficult.In the past, it was always the opposite, and I was used to the direct and straightforward way of doing things, but now I have to make false claims with the various clans. It really makes people feel bored to think about it.

"When I came to the south, I saw that there were a lot of water conservancy in Shanyin, but most of them were half-developed and half-destroyed."

Hearing Shen Zhezi bring up this topic, Shen Chong became angry and said: "Water conservancy canals can benefit both poor and noble families. I hate those big clans who hinder me and ignore this great cause!"

Perhaps because of the resentment that had been lingering in his arms for a long time, Shen Chong told his son about all kinds of things in Kuaiji nowadays.

As the rear of the Three Wus, the strength and potential of Kuaiji are beyond doubt.The county governs ten counties, with more than [-] registered households and more than [-] hectares of cultivated land. The county government alone directly controls more than [-] hectares of land, and the annual tax donations amount to hundreds of millions. .

But this is just literal data, but it is greatly reduced in practice.Although the county government has a large amount of land, it suffers from the fact that no one cultivates it.The county government and its subordinate counties, ten years ago, there were still more than [-] official households and military households, all of which were originally assigned to the people by the army and directly belonged to the county government.

In the past ten years or so, Kuaiji had few major turmoil such as military disasters, famines, and plagues, but the number of official households and military households has plummeted. So far, there are only ten thousand households left. There are only a mere [-] households that can be mastered.Therefore, although there are a large number of teaching fields, they are always in the desert, and the good fields have nothing to produce, which is embarrassing.

The county government does not have the ability to mobilize a large number of manpower, so it can only rely on the local big clan, but the big clan has no need to build canals and reclaim wasteland.Other places have no land to cultivate, but Kuaiji is sparsely populated. The various clans have a lot of opportunities to choose the best good land, so why spend a lot of manpower and material resources to reclaim wasteland?
In the final analysis, the Kuaiji situation cannot be opened because of the lack of population.

Population is a rigid indicator, which cannot be compensated by money and food.Although the Shen family has a big family and a great business, they really can't provide much assistance to Shen Chong in this regard.At the beginning of the year, the population of the Shen family's land was checked, and nearly a thousand households were counted, but then there was another round of land annexation.There are also many workshops created by Shen Zhezi, which also require a lot of labor.The Shen family's family is now in a labor shortage.

Shen Zhezi knew exactly where the official households and military households directly under the county government had gone.This year, he focused on doing this in Wukang. From Wukang County Office to Wuxing County Mansion, he picked out more than a thousand households.Although this part of the population cannot be directly classified as private property, there is still a fixed amount of money and food donations, but it is definitely not convenient for the government to instruct them.

I was very happy when I did this, but when I heard that my father, as the chief officer, was also facing this dilemma, his ass decided his head, a sense of justice arose in his heart, and he was extremely shameless towards the shameless actions of those big clans.This is the so-called state officials are only allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps.

But this problem is actually not a problem at all.Shen Zhezi knew how to solve it, and his father naturally knew how to solve it, but he couldn't solve it. This is where the paradox of the current situation lies.

From Jinling, Jingkou, all the way to the Jingxiang line, a large number of refugees live in no fixed place, waiting to be fed. Instead of producing anything, they have to rely on the three Wus for support.There are many people and few fields along the Yangtze River, but there are few people and many fields in Kuaiji.With the number of acres of fields owned by Kuaiji at present, even if no new fields are cultivated, it is more than enough to directly resettle [-] households of refugees and put them into production quickly!

But the current situation is that the overseas Chinese are holding back the self-respect of the people, and the southerners are self-enriching from the land. They are against each other, and neither is willing to make concessions.In the past few years, the imperial court tried its best to break the law. As a result, Wang Dun sent troops to Jiankang, and his father Shen Chong and other Wu people responded with strong troops. The emperor was put under house arrest and died of grief and anger!

In such a paradoxical situation, Shen Zhezi, a traveler, has nothing to do.The solution is clearly here. If the Northland refugees can be relocated to Wuzhong and put into production, the effect will be better than him burying his head in climbing the technology tree and farming for 20 years.But the problem is that this has become a taboo for scholars in the north and south, whoever touches it will die!

The father and son sat facing each other, both frowning. Shen Chong raised his forehead and sighed: "I can only do my best to maintain the current situation, and I dare not make any excessive moves. Uncle Yu sent me a letter before, saying: There is quite a theory that I should move to Taichung. Although it has not yet been decided, but there are rumors, it can be seen that the future is worrying."

Shen Zhezi also knew about this matter. In the middle of the year, the emperor finally made an effort to take Jingzhou down in one fell swoop, and let Tao Kan, the governor of Jiaozhou, and Wang Shu, the governor of Jingzhou, adjust the town.As a result, the strength of Wangjiafang Town disappeared, and only Wang Dao was left struggling to support in the center.

But the problem is that although Tao Kan has already taken office in Jingzhou, Wang Shu said that his illness and death depended on Jiankang and he did not want to go to that desolate place to take office.Probably at this time he also regretted not rebelling with Wang Dun at the beginning, resulting in a dilemma now.

Naturally, the Shen family cannot be exempted from such a big political fluctuation.Due to the decline of the Wang family, the political situation has become chaotic again, and since Ji Zhan has passed away for a long time, the Wu people's political circle that the Shen family originally relied on is about to collapse, and a new round of standing in line has begun.

Although Shen Chong was a little reluctant in his heart, he was getting closer politically to the Yu brothers and other overseas Chinese in Yuzhou.The overseas Chinese are not monolithic either. The Langya Wang family is the head horse of Qingxu, and the Yu brothers have become the banner of Yuzhou.

Originally, the Shen family, as Wu people, would not be able to mix with them, but their weakness is that the family's prestige is not enough to be the helmsman of the Wu people, so they can only use this faction to offset the political pressure of Qingxu Qiaomen.

Thinking of this question, Shen Zhezi also felt dizzy.It turned out that he connected his family with the Yingchuan Yu family because he knew that once the emperor died, the Yu family's relatives would take power, and they would soon fight against the Wang family, and there was a need to take charge of Fangzhen.But now because of his involvement, history has changed.

It turns out that at this point in time, the emperor should have died young.But so far, still alive and well.Looking into the reason, it should have something to do with Shen Zhezi.In the middle of the year, the emperor ordered the Shen family to offer Liquan real syrup, so Shen Zhezi guessed that the reason why the emperor died early in history was mostly related to Fu San.

The real nectar offered by the Shen family couldn't be distilled wine with enough ingredients, it was seriously watered down.But even so, it seems that the effect is not weak, at least the emperor is not dead yet.

However, since he had already guessed the cause of his death, Shen Zhezi still had no hope for the emperor. He didn't know how well the Liquan real jelly mixed with water would diffuse, but he could be sure that it was definitely not a panacea.It may be possible to continue your life, but it is absolutely difficult to save your life.The emperor's life is not long. If you don't die this year, you 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 Zhenjiang to continue the life of the emperor.After all, this is just his guess. If the emperor died of drunkenness instead of serving, it would be difficult for him to get rid of the responsibility, so try not to get out of the way and clear yourself.

For the current plan, it is necessary to solve the dilemma that the Kuaiji situation is difficult to open, and to withstand political pressure to stabilize the Kuaiji, 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: "How about sending troops again?"
