In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 123 You can win over

He took Li Zongmian, the magistrate of Dinghai County, Du Fan, the salt supervisor of Minghechang, several generals of the navy, Zhou Lai and others off the boat.

First, go to see the original naval fortress, which is also the location of the administrative office of the Eastern Zhejiang Coastal System.

This is the first naval yamen established in the Song Dynasty. The garrison barracks are located from Jiangdongzhai in the west of Dinghai County to Dinghai County. There is a dock in the southwest of the county, which can be used to repair and stop warships. Yamen is also together), and then west is the commanding Yamen.

According to historical records, the scale was huge at that time, and the commanding officers had control, commanding officers, generals, deputy generals, and preparation generals, each with three members, and 4000 soldiers... There were five thousand and six hundred and ninety three houses in the village: among them, Dinghai five thousand and three hundred and ninety Three rooms, three hundred rooms in Jiangdong. "Except for a small number of soldiers in the Jiangdong village outside the city, most of the village houses are in Dinghai County.

Look, at that time there were more than 4000 people in total, and there were more than 5000 houses, which was quite large.

But this may not be enough, because there are family members, and the camps in the Song and Song Dynasties generally lack barracks.

Historical Records "Two people live in one room, and it is quite hard to make ends meet." It also said that "soldiers say that it is difficult for a soldier to live in a small family."

"Today, if there are three members in a family, they can live in two rooms. For a father and son family with two members and one person, each will have one room at the same site."

Simply put, it is basically a room for two people, or two rooms for one family.

The thousands of houses on the Dinghai side were gradually abandoned after the entire navy moved to Xupu.

In the end, all the houses were taken away by the local county government for commercial or civilian use.

When Zhao Yurui arrived in the county, he summoned the county officials to look around, and found that only the original governing yamen and the commanding yamen were still vacant, and the rest were basically requisitioned by the local government.

At this time, the Southern Song Dynasty had frequent transactions with Korea and Dongben. Mingzhou Port was the main landing point, and Dinghai County was just at the waterway leading to Mingzhou Port. There were countless merchant ships coming and going every day, and it was quite prosperous. The county had a population of more than 2 households. .

These are just official statistics, basically based on the calculation of three people per household. The real number must be more than 10. Dinghai is well-developed in commerce and has a very large number of migrants. It is estimated that there are at least [-] people.

Cixi County next door had a population of 15 in the same period, with no record of the number of households.

These two adjacent counties, one records the number of households, and the other records the number of population, which is very interesting.

After Zhao and Rui saw it, they felt that the local commerce was well developed and there were countless merchants and shops.

Many houses are leased to businessmen to store goods. Some businessmen don’t even need to pay if they have a good relationship with officials.

After Zhao Yurui looked around, his expression was not very good, Hu Peng, the magistrate of Dinghai County, lowered his head and did not speak.

He was a good county magistrate, and within three years, he was suddenly taken away by a transfer order, and Li Zongmian knew Dinghai County.

The county magistrate is different from the county magistrate, he is higher than the county magistrate, so Hu Peng is naturally upset.

"Deputy General Feng." Zhao Yurui suddenly said after thinking about it.

"The last general is here." Feng Deshan hurried forward.

"Vice General Feng and several naval generals are temporarily stationed in the Commanding Yamen. Every five days, one of them takes turns to be on duty in Jiangdong Village."

"The last will obey."

Feng Deshan wanted to say, we are not high enough, can we live in the commanding yamen?But King Wei said so, of course they have no objection.

They came with seven ships, five generals above the command level, and they took turns every five days, that is, they lived in the county town most of the time every month. Feng Deshan felt that the king of Wei's arrangement was quite good.

"The remaining officers and soldiers of the navy will stay in the county seat in turn to guard the commanding yamen and the commanding yamen, and the rest will stay in Jiangdongzhai. They will rotate every five days."

"The last general obeys orders." Feng Deshan's voice became louder.

Hu Peng still didn't speak, anyway, the civil servants of Song Dynasty are not afraid of you.

"Who will be the first to arrive at Jiangdong Village?" Zhao Yurui looked at the generals at this time.

Feng Deshan did not hesitate: "The last general will be the first."

Hu Peng finally spoke at this time: "I pay my respects to King Wei."

"Magistrate Hu, tell me."

"All the houses in Jiangdongzhai are rented for civilian use, and even the docks are rented to local ship merchants. It's written in black and white, and the time limit has not yet expired. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to suddenly let them vacate the house. What if there is a civil uprising?"

"Oh? The king will handle this matter." Zhao Yurui glanced at him, then looked back at Li Zongmian. Li Zongmian knew what King Wei meant, so he hurriedly handed over the matter and told him to go away.

"Who is the number one left behind in the county?" Zhao Yurui asked again.

The generals looked around, Feng Deshan went to Jiangdong Village, the four of them must be the ones staying in the capital.

Battalion commander Chen Dong looked at Ruan Cong. Officer Ruan Cong was taller than him. Of course he didn't want to steal the limelight, but Ruan Cong kept his head down and didn't speak.

Chen Dong thought for a while, and then took a step forward: "The final general will bring Yidu brothers."

"Okay, you cooperate with the general manager. The general manager will provide you with supplies, send people to the door one by one, and notify the merchants who occupy the military buildings. They will all move out within three days. The money that should be refunded will be given by Dinghai County. Will give it back to them."

"The last general takes orders." Chen Dong frowned when he heard this. Where are these thousands of houses?I can't help but regret being in the limelight.

A smile appeared on the corner of Hu Peng's mouth, refund the money?Do you have money back?Will people agree?

Then Zhao Yurui arranged for the sailors to station in Jiangdongzhai first, leaving all Chen Dong's people in the county.

All ministries work step by step, let's stay first and then talk.

He took Li Pingxia and other confidants around the county town, mainly looking at the assets of the Dinghai Navy, and then circled about a hundred houses in it, distributed in four directions of Dinghai County, and prepared to do business in the future as shops.

The boat of the navy sailed directly to Jiangdongzhai, and found that the dock had been occupied, and there were still several civilian ships parked inside.

Feng Deshan stood at the bow of the boat, followed by Zhou Lai and Li Pingshan, who were all confidantes of the King of Wei. He pondered for a while, the King of Wei probably wanted to see his ability to handle affairs.

The King of Wei has a good relationship with Shi Miyuan, and he specially promoted me to the seventh rank. If we have a good relationship with the King of Wei, we will definitely be able to send more officials in the future.

Now that Feng Deshan has reached his grade, he began to think about moving to a bigger real job in the future.

He thought of King Wei's order just now, and immediately called a capital: "Old Yang."

"The end is here."

"Take your people down first, knock on the door one by one, and ask them to move within three days. Get any contracts, and Dinghai County will refund the money according to the contract."

"No." Yang Dutou led a group of people off the boat.

Feng Deshan looked at Zhou Lai and Li Pingguo with a smile, feeling that he had done a good job, imitating King Wei.

"Wait." Unexpectedly, Zhou Lai called them back.

"A few of us followed."

"Some people, I'm afraid they are not so easy to talk to."

Usually, those who can do relatively large business in the local area have more local gentry.

"What Zhou Dutou said makes sense." Feng Deshan said politely. He was a much higher official than Zhou Lai, but he was a confidant of King Wei, so of course he could only be polite.

At this time, he saw Li Pingshan leading a few teenagers, all wearing military armor, but they looked very young, most of them were only around, but all of them were very imposing and energetic, and they got off the boat with the man from Yang Dutou.

The room has not been vacated now, and they still lived on the boat that day.

About an hour later, King Wei came.

Zhao Yurui was followed by Li Pingxia, Li Zongmian, and Du Fan. Depending on the situation, Hu Peng should take over and leave.

He called Feng Deshan again, took Feng Deshan and a group of people around the Jiangdong Village, and even rode horses.

Because they brought more than 20 horses with them, all of which were bought by Zhao Yurui.

Zhao and Rui first came to the northernmost point, where there is Minghechang Salt Field, which is also the main salt field in eastern Zhejiang. Du Fan is now the salt field Yanlin.

The distance between this salt field and Jiangdong Village is about several miles, and Yinjiang River (later section of Yongjiang River) is separated in the middle.

"North here." Zhao Yurui came to the river and said in a deep voice: "Build a wall around the barracks, and build a bridge to connect to the opposite side."

Feng Deshan froze for a moment, didn't speak, and could only nod his head first.

Zhao Yurui then went to the west, near the Yangshan Temple, and the west side of the military camp was here, and the wall was also built.

Feng Deshan divided the four sites successively into the southeast, the northwest, and saw that the area was very large, even larger than the original barracks.

He blushed involuntarily: "To build such a big camp? How much manpower and money?"

"The lieutenant will come by himself, and there will be artisans in Dinghai County to cooperate."

"All expenses will be paid by Dinghai County."

Li Zongmian also looked at a loss in the back, because he didn't know how much money Dinghai County had when the handover was just handed over. King Wei has to do so many things?I'm afraid it's not enough.

When Feng Deshan heard that the sergeants were asked to do it themselves, his expression was even more reluctant, and he dared not say no.

But Zhao Yurui said at this time: "Tomorrow Dinghai County will repay the salary owed by the army, and it will be paid monthly in the future, and there will be no default."

"Wei Wang is benevolent, thank you Wei Wang." Feng Deshan and others were overjoyed, and the soldiers and soldiers who followed him were even more happy, unable to believe it.

Li Zongmian had a bitter face again, the county government had a lot of expenses again, but at this time King Wei glanced at him, and Li Zongmian felt a little better when he thought of King Wei's ability to make money.

After a while, Zhao Yurui came to the bank of the river and watched the water of the river rolling.

Feng Deshan had a respectful face. When he saw King Wei for the first time, he felt that Zhao Yurui was very young and immature, and he looked down upon him a little bit. But after spending two days together, he saw that Zhao Yurui was very decisive and clean when he talked and acted. With the style of a prince, he gradually became a little in awe.

"In the past two days, I have seen the sailors under Vice General Feng's command. They are all pale and thin, weak, and have no morale. How can such a navy fight? How powerful is it?"

Swipe, Feng Deshan's face changed slightly, then turned red, and he didn't know what to say.

"Jinmeng is eyeing the Great Song Dynasty covetously, and the navy is my barrier on the Great Song River. It is a matter of heaven and earth to serve as soldiers to defend our home and country. A man should stand upright, train elite soldiers, and serve the country. Song, better able to protect his family."

Feng Deshan blushed, and said in a deep voice: "The king of Wei is right, he will train them well in the end."

He thought to himself, as long as you are not short of money every month, King Wei, I will train them well for you.

"Vice General Feng." Zhao Yurui patted him heavily on the shoulder at this time, and said earnestly: "There are so many lieutenant generals in the Song Dynasty, and hundreds of thousands of sailors. It is also a kind of meeting between you and me in Dinghai." fate."

Feng Deshan immediately said: "Thank you, King Wei."

"Do you have the confidence to train Dinghai Navy well?"

"Yes." Feng Deshan gritted his teeth, then hesitated to speak.

Zhao Yurui had been observing his expression, and felt that Feng Deshan was not disgusted after saying this, but a little ashamed. This proves that he also wants to train good soldiers, and this kind of general can be wooed.

"You said, if you have any request, I will fully support it."

Feng Deshan's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and immediately said: "The general hopes that there will be no shortage of money and food, and the food will be good."

"Artisan equipment, with supply."

"It would be even better if the boat can be repaired again." He said the last few words through gritted teeth.

When he said it, he felt that he had little hope, because repairing a ship was very expensive. Sometimes repairing a ship would be better than buying a new one, but he dared not say to buy a new one, because King Wei might not have so much money.

"Okay, that's it." Zhao Yurui agreed.

Feng Deshan was overjoyed and couldn't believe it.
