Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

The other side of the lake.

Wang Lun stood with Jiang Jing, Xiao Rang, Li Ying, Zhu Gui, Zhang Qing, Meng Kang, Zong Ze, Li Gang, Qin Hui, Shi Wenbin and others.

They are all big bosses in various departments.

Everyone looks relaxed

"Boss, the rotation of staff at the end of the year has been completed."

"This time, the army also takes turns to rest, and now two-thirds of them have gone home to rest."

"Most of the troops on duty are concentrated in border areas."

"According to the current intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department, the main force of the Western Army has already reached Hangzhou. Fang La is struggling to cope and may not be able to withstand it for much longer."

"According to our analysis, it will take at least three months for the imperial court to withdraw its troops from the invasion of Fang La, and then two to three months of rest. It may be that the imperial court will launch troops against us in the summer and autumn of next year."

"The failure of Shijiedu also made the emperor and ministers extremely vigilant. However, we withdrew our troops in time and did not continue to expand our territory, so the imperial court decided to deal with Fang La first."

"The branch office has made plans for next year, with an estimated revenue of 21 million guan and an expenditure of 17 million guan, of which 4 million guan will be used as special expenses for an additional 100,000 troops. The Construction Department will take 5 Millions, and there are many agricultural departments. Please read the detailed plan."

"The Agriculture Department estimates that 4.5 million acres of cotton will be planted next April, which can produce tens of millions of pieces of cotton cloth."

"There shouldn't be that much, leaving a fair share of cotton"

"The Construction Department is confident of providing enough textile machines"

"Large-scale mining of the Lanshan iron ore in Yizhou will begin next spring, and it is expected to require an investment of one million in labor and two million in financial resources."

"According to the report of the Department of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry, it is estimated that all the poultry and egg needs of the twelve states can be met next year, but the gap in cattle and draft horses is still not small... mainly because the gap was too big before."

"Our goal is that at least three households on average own one plowing ox, two draft horses, or mules, not even donkeys. Donkeys cannot plow. They can at most pull mills and carts."

"The Construction Department will release a double harness next year. The efficiency of plowing the land is much higher than that of cattle. It is more troublesome to raise horses than cattle, but overall, it is still more cost-effective to raise horses."

"Isn’t there a horse in front of me? More than three thousand horses"

"Not even close!"

"If you do the math, you will know that there are nearly one million households in the twelve states under Liangshan's rule. In the past, an average of only one hundred households had one cow or mule. If it reaches the standard of one cow or one horse for three households, we are still twenty short of it. Ten thousand cattle or four hundred thousand horses……"

"This depends on the Department of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry."

Huangfu Duan is not far away.

His thinking and eloquence cannot keep up with these shrewd and exposed principals, so it is better to hide his clumsiness and only talk when it involves himself.

At this time, he nodded with a wry smile and said:"Alfalfa planting is a rush. It has come up, but it is not enough. At least 5,600,000 acres must be allocated directly to the Department of Fisheries and Animal Husbandry, so that we can have enough cattle and horses in a few years."

In fact, with the blessing of the"Six Livestock Prosperity", the birth rate of foals and calves in Liangshan Fishing and Animal Husbandry Division has been frighteningly high in recent years.

However, it takes at least three years for these large animals to grow up to be able to farm and pull carts.

It won’t be until the second half of next year that tens of thousands of cattle and draft horses can be put into use. Before that, we still have to continue to purchase them.

Farming, construction, fishery, animal husbandry, and the military, these departments are definitely Liangshan’s. Big money devourers.

Of course, they are also the bulk of the incoming money.

Taxes are regular revenue, including food and commercial taxes, public security taxes, store taxes, deed taxes, etc.

The tax rate in Liangshan is not high, but it is not low either.

There is a little advantage. Even if the taxes are collected in an open place, there will be only a few types of taxes, and there will not be dozens of names to collect them again and again like the imperial court. Once they are collected, they will still do things.

There will be no subordinate officials to harvest again, and there will be no more tyrants and scoundrels to knock on the taxes.

So it seems that Liangshan collects a lot of taxes, but compared with the Song Dynasty, the difference is clear.

Now the business here is so developed and the New Year atmosphere is so good. The main reason is that many businessmen from the Song Dynasty came over, and even troupes performed acrobatics. A lot of people, including troupes and sumo wrestlers, have come here.

The place is prosperous, stable, and public order is good, and outsiders don’t suffer.

The reputation has been accumulated year by year, forming an image like a mountain. People who come here are also Not all are good people, there are also some unscrupulous people who come here, and many people suffer losses when they come to Liangshan.

But the criticism of a few people cannot change the reality and image of Liangshan.

More and more businessmen from other places are pouring into Liangshan. Next, there are not only businessmen and salesmen, but also craftsmen with certain skills, such as carpenters, masons, and blacksmiths. When they come to Liangshan, they join the construction company. Those who are good at their craftsmanship can earn seven or eight guans a month. Master craftsmen It's more than ten thousand dollars.

If you complete the construction task in advance, there will be rewards. If you follow the above to create any new invention or design, the rewards will be much more generous.

Craftsmen from other places are also pouring in like a tide.

In addition to ordinary people People, if you think of allocating land here in Liangshan, (dbfg) as long as there is free farmland here, we will accept it.

The Agriculture Department has also begun to dig out some wasteland and distribute it to the newly arrived non-local population.

There is a preferential treatment for wasteland, and free farm tools and seeds are provided. Rent cattle, help build houses at half price, etc.

There are still three years of tax exemption.

After three years, when the land becomes mature, the grain tax will be collected like ordinary acres.

There is still a lot of room for excavation here on Jingdong East Road.

After all, this will be here in the future. With nearly 100 million acres of land, it can be said to be the largest agricultural province.

In terms of rice production alone, it is better than Shandong.

In terms of wheat production, Henan ranks first, but Shandong is second.

In terms of fruits and vegetables, it is also one of the best.

The overall strength of agriculture as a whole is definitely No. 1.

This is a treasure land.

That’s why Wang Lun attaches so much importance to farm allocation.

In a few years, maybe here on Jingdong East Road, plus Hebei East Road, and several states in Huaidong, the number of acres will be Reaching 40 to 50 million acres, tens of millions of shi of grain can be handed over every year.

Or even more!

This number is already magical.

You know, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were already thirteen chief envoys in Han Dynasty, and the annual taxation of grain The income is less than 30 million dan.

With the new system, emphasis on agriculture, and the blessing of"Shen Nong", Wang Lun achieved the tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty with one-tenth of the population and land of the Ming Dynasty. , which is quite scary.

It is far more substantial than the Song Dynasty’s tax revenue of tens of millions.

In this era, the money standard, silver standard, and gold standard are far less stable than the grain standard!

Of course, Wang Lun will not use grain as the basis, but the country will be based on grain and acres of land as the foundation. He will set this basic national policy and it will never change.

As long as there is food to eat, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.

As long as the current system continues, even if there is no blessing from Shennong in the future, we will still be able to survive the Little Ice Age safely, and even have enough energy to do so, and the clouds will be calm and the wind will be calm.

As for the Construction Division, mines, gold mines, commodities, and trade are the icing on the cake built on a solid foundation.

Even without these, Liangshan can still take the world by storm with its annual food income of over ten million dan!

Therefore, Wang Lun and everyone around him were relaxed and happy.

Work hard in the coming year.

There will be threats from officers and soldiers.

But it’s still at least half a year away.

Although it is said that those coming will be the Beijing Camp Forbidden Army and the elite of the Western Army... but so what? (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Outsiders simply don’t understand Liangshan’s power and potential!

Especially those high-ranking big shots, they would at most regard Liangshan as a stronger Fang La.

I thought that if my troops were stronger, I could still win a peace.

"Next spring, before the officers and soldiers arrive, we will take action first and seize Hebei East Road and Huainan East Road, going north and south to form one, disrupting the layout of the officers and soldiers!"

In front of everyone, Wang Lun also revealed a little bit about his plans for next year.

In fact, he originally wanted to capture the Huaiyang Army, Haizhou and even Chuzhou this year, but that would be too big a move. Maybe the imperial court would not go south, and the army would directly We have arrived at Liangshan.

Wang Lun took this into consideration and put on the brakes temporarily.

It can also be seen from the conversation just now.

Liangshan's strength will be in a period of rapid expansion by next summer and autumn.

This year there are still some Shortcomings.

The regular army has insufficient strength.

If it is defeated, it will be unable to withstand the attack of hundreds of thousands of troops from all directions.

If the Hebei East Road and the Huainan East Road are taken,

Liangshan's will to conquer the world will be obvious.

Unlike Tian Hu , Wang Qing, these two wastes, Xiaofu will be safe[]

He huddled in his own territory without making any movement for a long time, shouting that he wanted to overthrow the Zhao family's Longting, conquer a few states, and then huddle up and enjoy the blessings.

Wang Lun temporarily stopped.

It also gave the court such an illusion.

Like Tian Hu and Wang Qing, Liangshan will not fight anymore.

On the other hand, Fang La, known as Tiangong, wanted to continue to mobilize troops.

Moreover, occupying the south of the Yangtze River affected taxation and trade, as well as Hua Shi Gang. Even if the Shijie Du was defeated miserably, the court was not in a hurry to attack Liangshan. Wang Lun's emergency braking was still very effective.

At this time, everyone looked happy, especially the group from the Agriculture Department. Seeing the large number of draft horses from the southwest, everyone was happy from ear to ear.

At this time, Han Bolong and Gongsun Sheng also arrived. Han Bolong was still busy, always busy with travel.

When Ou Peng and his group arrived, he took the greatest credit.

Gongsun Sheng also contributed. Although this Taoist priest had a calm face, held a pine-patterned sword, walked gracefully, and looked cool, he was indeed one of the gods.

It is impossible to do everything by yourself like Han Bolong, regardless of hard work.

However, Gongsun Sheng's skills are at the level of peerless masters, and his reputation in the world is much louder than that of Han Bolong. The weight of his actions is also higher than that of Han Bolong, who is promoted. However, Gongsun Sheng comes out of the mountain for experience, not for fame and fortune, so he still feels at ease and Han Bolong was a colleague and did not want to be superior to him.

If Gongsun Sheng is really asked to promote him and he is the main one in everything, the Taoist priest will find it troublesome.

This is also the beauty of Wang Lun’s employment.

"I've seen the big boss."

The two of them bowed at the same time.

They came back at the end of the year to do accounting and make New Year's plans.

Of course, there are also protocol matters within the country, which are also supervised by these two people.

There was a big party a year ago. Counting Chai Jin and others, there were one hundred and eighty The general has exceeded 80%, and is only about 20% away. The more people gather, the joy of the New Year also affects everyone. Wang Lun also smiled and said:"Bolong, Taoist priest, it has been hard work this year." Now, I have half a month off, so I can rest peacefully for a while."

Han Bolong agreed with a smile.

Gongsun Sheng spread his hands, turned his eyes to the side, and said with a smile:"There is also a little prince from the Kingdom of Jin. This guy can't leave during the Chinese New Year, and the concierge has to arrange his reception. , we can’t neglect others."

"The Protocol Department and the Fisheries and Animal Husbandry Department arranged the time very cleverly, so that a large number of Malays from the southwest happened to be seen by this boy with his own eyes, so as to prevent him from continuing to have evil thoughts. Han

Bolong smiled casually and said:"Master, our refined iron will be mined in Yizhou mine next year, and the output will increase tenfold or a hundredfold. Can't we sell some to the north?" People from this country or that country in the south may not be kind."

This question must have been raised by the Trade Department, Du Branch Department and Construction Department.

A group of senior officials all looked at Wang Lun.

Wang Lun said with a smile:"You have had questions for a long time, you should have asked me a long time ago. The north has always been a strong enemy, from Rouran to the Xiongnu, to the Turks, to the Khitan, and now the Jurchens are rising, and the parties in the northwest are also extremely powerful. The north is vast and sparsely populated, and people make a living from nomadic fishing and hunting. Those who are raised are strong men with strong personalities and tough personalities. Even if they are enemies of each other, praise should be given. These people are born warriors. These tribes have at most hundreds of thousands of people, but from the Han, Tang, to our Song Dynasty, which dynasty did not have hundreds of thousands of people? We have to spend the whole country to conquer the Huns, just like the Han Dynasty. It took three generations of accumulation and the cost of halving the household registration to conquer the Huns. Even so, after the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu revived, and they were a frontier trouble for the Han Dynasty until the Eastern Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin Dynasty, and its military merits were also the first. It was an iron rule to use military merits to appoint marquises. Therefore, all dynasties were destroyed by weakness, but the Han Dynasty was destroyed by strength. The Huns who fought hundreds of thousands of soldiers during the Han Dynasty were allAfter the Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, the two dynasties defeated the Xiongnu and divided them. But for a while, he softened his heart and settled many Xiongnu. As a result, there was civil strife in the Western Jin Dynasty. The first people to rise up and cause trouble were the Huns who surrendered. They were also the first to cause chaos in China. The Xiongnu power was destroyed, followed by the Xianbei and other tribes. They were all nomadic people from the north. They were tough, strong, capable of riding and shooting, and were born warriors. We farmers are at a disadvantage to them. It takes a strong dynasty, a strong army, and the whole country to arm the border troops. Only then can we withstand border troubles. But as powerful as the Tang Dynasty, it was also attacked by the Uighurs, Tubo and Khitan in turns. If it weren't for the Khitan border troubles, how would An Lushan have the opportunity to wear multiple Jiedushi seals? If the Song Dynasty was not inherently deficient, how could it be bullied by the Khitan and Dangxiang? Now the Jurchens are more ferocious and daring to die than the Khitans. They are stronger in riding and shooting, more brave, and better at riding and fighting. For such a tribe, if we trade a large amount of fine iron to them, they will arm more warriors and build a stronger Armor and fine iron weapons, they will lose less and destroy the Khitans. Then they will get along with us in a friendly manner and have no covetous intentions towards the wealthy and weak Song Dynasty? And in the south... think about it, in the past two thousand years, have you heard of any big news in the south? The biggest news is that the Nanzhao Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty has also weakened. They have obtained fine iron and even weapons, but they pose no threat to us.……"

In fact, Wang Lun rarely spoke at length.

But it is a threat to the future of the Jin Kingdom.

There is also the layout and distribution of trade, these matters still need to be thoroughly understood by these confidants.

For those important generals and generals, it will be gradually pointed out that there will definitely be a big fight with the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom in the future.

The military has no problem.

As long as the heroes are doing justice for heaven and not serving as lackeys for the court, Wu Er and his gang will definitely rush forward first, and no one will lose their chain.

The people Wang Lun left behind still have basic ethics and the integrity of a hero.

"I understand"

"It turns out this is such a big article, I understand"

"The boss really has a big heart and thinks about everything so thoroughly and thoroughly. No wonder we, Liangshan, are so prosperous!"

"The students also thought that this insight was sufficient for the temple's strategy."

Li Gang, Zongze and others also looked at Wang Lun with admiration.

Before, they thought that Wang Lun had received a lot of help and had many capable people under his command.

In addition, he was lucky.

There was also the decline of the Song Dynasty.

Now they have completely Understand.

The success of Liangshan is not a question of how much credit the leader has, but all due to the people in front of him!

The depth of the temple calculation is breathtaking!.
