Chapter 306

On the fifth day of the third month, the day of the meeting between the general's house. The chief and deputy officers of each department and the water in the army, the infantry commander and chief general of the army attended the meeting. Zhao Bing was ill for five days this time. After hearing this, the officials of the general's house also came to visit him. When they heard the news, they also sent people to send various supplements to him. They were nervous, fearing that he had something to do. This made the palace really lively for a few days, and his cold made the general's house messy. He felt embarrassed and hurried to work soon afterwards, so that he would not have to come and see him off with a smile every day.

"The Palace Commander died in order to save Your Majesty and died as a place. His spirit in heaven will still protect me from the Song Dynasty. Lord Jiang also asks to mourn him." Zhao Bing first greeted Jiang Ju who returned from the journey.

"Thank you for your concern. Uncle would not have been like this if he listened to Your Highness's advice. But the Jiang clan still appreciated His Highness's great kindness." Jiang Qi bowed deeply to His Highness. This time he heard Jiang Qi talk about the Jiazi Town that day, and only then did he know that Your Highness had warned his uncle.

"Oh, there is no need to be too polite." Zhao Bingxu said, "If I could keep the Palace Commander in Qiongzhou that day, I might be able to escape this disaster, but..."

"This is all God's will. Your Highness does not need to blame yourself too much." Jiang Yu quickly comforted his highness when he saw his highness's sad face.

"There is a difficult state affairs, and the mansion cannot be separated from the Lord. I have to seize the love and ask the Lord to stay in my post. Please forgive me!" Zhao Bing bowed and said.

"In the face of crisis, my subordinates should be loyal to the country!" Jiang Yu returned the favor and said.

"Master Jiang, you just returned from Zhuzhou Island. What's the situation in your journey now?" Ying Jieyan asked.

"After Fu Zheng moved to the island of Juzhou, he took 6 Xiufu as the right prime minister to preside over the government affairs. Zhang, deputy envoy of the Privy Councillor, was in charge of military affairs. Zeng Yuanzi was re-appointed as the chief minister and assisted the six ministers in managing the government affairs. Now the island is building a large-scale palace, and it seems that he will stay here forever." Jiang Yu replied.

"Can the Queen Mother and Your Majesty be nice?" Ying Jieyan nodded and asked.

"Reported to Fushuai, uncle's tribute, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty sent someone to send rituals, but they were not summoned, so I don't know the details, and I think everything is fine." Jiang Xu replied.

Zhao Bing and Ying Jieyan had basically learned about these situations, and the question and answer in the classroom was intended to inform everyone of the problem. Then Liu Zhu reported on the situation of the battle in Qinzhou. The whole process was basically carried out according to the plan. In the first battle, all the Yuan army's Qinzhou and Hepu water camps were destroyed, more than 400 enemy warships were burned, and more than 4,000 enemy soldiers were killed and injured. Therefore, the battle was a surprise attack and rockets were used to carry out long-range attacks. Therefore, our army suffered few casualties. Unfortunately, although the results of this battle were abundant, they were not captured.

Now the General's Office defeated Liu Shen first and destroyed the Ali Hague Navy. The Guangdong-Guangzhou area is invincible and the Qiongzhou can be safe. Zhao Bing ordered the rewards to be rewarded and notified the county to boost the morale of the army and calm the people. He also knew that after the two battles, although the General's Office was famous in Guangdong-Guangzhou, it also exposed its strength and attracted the attention of the enemy. He would inevitably continue to fight.

Subsequently, Chen Zeweng, deputy envoy of Transportation, reported on the resettlement of refugees and land reclamation. Since last year, more than 20,000 households have come to Qiong, with more than 26,000 households and more than 87,000 entries. Among them, more than 3,000 households were placed outside Qiongzhou City, more than 60,000 acres of land were reclaimed and about ten miles of canals were built; 17,000 households were moved to Jiyang Army, and more than 300,000 mu of land were reclaimed. With the assistance of the baggage army, 30 miles of canals and seven water storage dams were built. To resettlement refugees, more than 15,000 houses were built, and the resettlement fee was more than 400,000 guan, 5,000 oxen heads, 60,000 stones of grain, and a batch of agricultural tools, which cost nearly one million guan.

Now, according to the twenty-five households, one insurance company for one insurance company, fifty households are one large insurance company, and two hundred households are one quadrons are arranged. Except for the village chief sent by each county, the security chief is all selected by refugees, with respectable and fair and just. At the same time, the village soldiers are trained according to the principle of two households being selected, each quadron is one gang, each large insurance company is trained, and during the slack farming, they act as reserve troops, and are dispatched nearby in prefectures and counties. At the same time, two tutors and one town doctor are appointed to each mile, and the salary is subsidized by the prefectures and counties to serve the village.

Now all resettlement work has come to an end. Now we can wait for the farming season to sow seeds, but how to allocate and collect taxes has not yet been decided. Therefore, it is necessary to make a decision early to calm the people's hearts. Zhao Bing asked everyone to discuss the plan and report it to the General Department after reviewing it himself.

Then Ying Jieyan thought that in the Battle of Qizhou Ocean, the dragon ships of the Fighting Army performed the best and achieved the greatest results. He proposed to use the captured warships to transform 30 dragon ships, and at the same time divide the Fighting Army into two, restore the Brave Army's troop, and expand it into two naval armies with dragon ships as the main warships. In addition, given that His Highness's personal guard battalion has weak strength, it should be expanded. In order not to increase the financial expenditure of the General Administration, without increasing the existing number of troops, he suggested that each army and the navy of the General Administration would draw a commander and the personal guard battalion to form the General Administration Guardian, with the number of troops limited to 5,000.

Ying Jieyan's proposal was approved without waiting for Zhao Bing to express his opinion. Everyone knew that it would be possible to stop His Highness from participating in the battle once, and it was impossible to block him from going to the battlefield every time. The situation on the battlefield changed rapidly, and there was no sight of swords and guns. If a person could not take care of him, he would not be able to redeem his death. It would be better if he had no choice but to die. It would be good if he had no choice. Therefore, he expressed his full cooperation with the Fushi Department's arrangements and dispatched elite troops from the army to supplement his highness's personal army. Zhao Bing had long planned to expand the personal guard camp, but he had not yet had time to discuss with Ying Jieyan. Today, he took the initiative to expand the personal guard camp five times and was indeed his expectation. He could not figure out what the old man sold in the gourd...

Three days later, the Transport Department reported to Zhao Bing's desk with the land distribution and tax plan prepared by the Changping Department and the General Bureau. He felt a headache when he saw it. He couldn't help but have many uses of land, and the collection of various taxes and fees was even more dazzling. He had to summon Zhuang Shilin into the mansion to explain it to himself before he understood the meaning. In general, there were two types of arable land in the Song Dynasty, one was civil land and the other was official land. Civil land refers to the private land of landlords and self-cultivated farmers, and official land is land owned by the state or the emperor. Official land includes military farming (field for military farming and military farming), camp land (field for military farming), official land (field for military farming), official land (field for supplementing official salaries), school land (field for school funding), warehouse land (field for warehousing and relief), public land (field managed by central or local officials, such as official villages).

The land tax is basically divided into five types. One is the tax of public land, that is, the rent levied on official fields such as official farms, military farms, and academic fields. Official fields are generally plundered by farmers, and the state collects official rent (tenant rent), and the rent accounts for about 30% of the harvest. In addition to tenant rent, general land tax is also paid. Total of the two, the tax of official fields is about half; the second is the tax of civil fields, that is, the land tax of the people's private land, which is generally based on tithes; the third is the tax of city walls, which is the tax of houses and land taxes collected by urban residents; the fourth is the tax of complex levied by local specialties collected from various places, which is a harsh tax outside the regular tax; the fifth is the tax of Dingkou, which is the tax of Ding Man levied by Ding Nan in the southern region. But these are only on the surface, and there are various other additional... (To be continued.)
