Chapter 1242 On the way

With the rewards of merits and achievements, many people were promoted, such as Zhang Qin, the captain of Hefei Du Branch. Because he went south to act as a translator and counted life and death, he was promoted to two levels in a row, becoming the newly established first Hefei Du Branch Captain.

The number of troops transported under the tent was 3,000, which were all surrendered troops in Hefei. The ships were allocated from Ruxuwu. Most of them were old things that the navy despised. They were not suitable for transportation in terms of shapes, so just use them as much as possible.

Shi Yong also came to Hefei and became the Duzhi Commander.

The two are considered old partners, and Xi was very proud when talking about the breakthrough.

"My clan (Shi Zhen) has bad luck, and the horse loses its hooves, alas." Looking at the setting sun in the west, Shi Yong sighed and said.

Zhang Qin poured a glass of wine for each of them and said, "Life and death are destined to be true, what else do you mean by your husband? Just take care of his family more in the future."

"My clan has four sons, the youngest son is seven years old this year. He has sent envoys to the palace to practice literature and martial arts. I'm afraid it's not my turn to take care of him." Shi Yong said with a wry smile.

"I made a profit!" Zhang Qin said in a somewhat envious tone.

"Yes, I've made a profit. As long as I don't get involved in any major case, the wealth of a generation is a foregone conclusion. If I have a good business, it will be easy for two or three generations to be rich." Shi Yong took a sip of wine and said.

He is not without gains.

Originally, he was a Sima of Tangyi County, but he was a fake official. After being destroyed, he would not count. Now he can become a seventh-rank Duzhi Duwei. What's more important is that he is already in the heart of the emperor and the emperor knows his name. He can easily be promoted to the next level. This is the greatest and long-term benefit.

Zhang Qin was the same as him. However, he was promoted more vigorously, from the seventh grade to the fifth grade, crossing the fourth-level ladder.

If you have no credit and can only be qualified as a step by step, can you be promoted to two levels before retiring? It is hard to say, because there are too many people who stay at a certain level in their lifetime and never move.

"Is there any news about Lou Guochang's descendants?" Shi Yong put down his wine glass and asked.

"Lou Guochang was born in a lowly family, and had no descendants, only one younger brother." Zhang Qin said, "I heard from Sun Jianjun that the emperor sent someone to visit his brother. He learned that he was herding horses in Kujiesha, so he wrote to the nobles of the Lou family and released them back.

He was given the name "Guozhen" and inherited the title of Guochang. Guozhen's descendants ordered him to adopt him with a son and sent him to Luoyang Palace and awarded him a title of honor and land. Most of the rest of the people acted like this."

"Where is Tian's house?" Shi Yong asked.

"In Huaibei." Zhang Qin said: "Yang Tao and other troops have been liberated. They are granted nationality and are no longer the tormented military farming soldiers for generations. They have withdrawn the cultivated fields and collectively migrate to the four counties of Huainan, Lujiang, Yiyang, and Anfeng, which are between Jianghuai."

"Didn't go to Xiyang?"

"Xiyang is gone. Maybe no one wants to go to that place."

Xiyang was the country of Xiyang when it was Pu.

At the beginning of Yongjia, Sima Su was still the Duke of Xiyang County, so the county was deserted and the delicacies were falling, and there was no one in the eyes. Therefore, Xiyang County moved to the southeast of Wuchang (located in the east of Huanggang). In order to think, Xiling improved the country and thought about it. It was because it was designated by Runan Kingdom (later returned to Yiyang), and the court replaced it with Qichun and Zheng counties.

Therefore, Xiyang State governs Xiyang (East Huanggang), Xiling, Qichun and Zheng counties, with nominal 35,000 households.

In fact, 3,500 households are all in trouble. The population in the country is Wushui Man, and Xiyang Man is somewhat similar to the treasure man in terms of bloodline.

These barbarians have been registered as households since the Han Dynasty, but in fact they are no different from not registered as households, because the population is estimated and they are filled in by mistake. Whether there are so many people, it is not clear whether the households of the previous households have migrated, because they do not pay taxes anyway.

Since the end of the Jin Dynasty, wars have continued, especially Zhang Chang has raging in northern Jingzhou. Then there were the Wang Ru and Du Rebellion, and the Liang Pu Tiaoshou, so there was no one in Xiyang Kingdom, so it was abolished and merged into Yiyang.

After hearing that no one went to Xiyang, Shi Yong smiled: "They are lucky."

Zhang Qin smiled slightly and poured wine for Shi Yong again.

On the river channel less than a hundred steps away from them, boats and boats were connected to the sky, surging.

From the Yangtze River through the Ruxu River enters Chaohu Lake, then exits Chaohu Lake and enters Miaoshui, Huai River, connects to the Henan water system, and directly reaches the water and land hub of Bianliang.

From here, we can see the important position of Hefei. Only Guangling can compare with it in the entire Jianghuai River. There is also a Du Branch Captain there. The route also goes straight to Bianliang and starts from Jingkou one by one, passing through Hangou. The Honggou water system enters the Bian River. However, due to the little rainfall or terrain, Banggou stops sailing from time to time, but it is not as good as the west side.

There are still some cavalrymen escorting the ships on both sides of the straits.

Most of them were recruited by the emperor on the grassland. There were about 9,100 new troops in the tenth battalion when they set out to fight. Now there are more than 8,000 left. Each battalion has a vacancies, especially the storm of the crossing river, the Iron Cavalry, Zhenwu and other battalions have the most serious slacks, and they have to add personnel after returning.

At this time, Yan Han was standing at the bow of the boat and looking out at the Huainan land.

"After many years of war, the important towns in Hefei are completely deserted, alas." Yan Han sighed, "It's so hard for people to live! What's the point of living for people!"

"Father, today I will calm down and Huainan should slowly recover." His son Yan Mao said, "Father Ruoyi-"

Yan Han waved his hand and said, "I'm old."

Yan Mao no longer advises him.

Some words don’t need to be said openly, that’s too harsh. My father wants to pursue his reputation, so he won’t become a member of Shaoliang, but the Yan family’s children can.

This is also a way to maintain the family.

The father made a reputation and the children made real profits. They all know what they knew.

Before nightfall, the fleet stopped.

The fragrance of rice came from the evening breeze. Some people on the shore were racing to grab the land and then erected boundary markers. As night fell, they also dispersed.

"Father, please have a meal." Yan Mao brought a bowl of fish soup from the stern of the boat, raised it respectfully over his head, and gently placed it on the table in front of Yan Han.

Their family has many rules, strict and strict ethics and laws, which are very different from other aristocratic families, such as the son calling my name directly, or the father and son holding each other's arms and drinking together, etc.

After Yan Han took the fish soup, he asked, "Where did it come from?"

'The Lord of Sunfu in Huainan sent someone to send a few fish." Yan Mao replied.

"Which Sun Mansion?"

"It's Sun Song and Sun Demao of the Le'an Sun family."

Yan Han remembered that he had heard of this name. Among the several "thief leaders" who were guarding Jincheng, there was the name of this person, but he didn't expect that he would jump into the prefect of Huainan.

"Does the emperor have fish soup?" Yan Han asked.

"Some." Yan Mao said, "The emperor and the empress both gave them wine and food."

Yan Hansui stopped asking more questions and started drinking fish soup.

Yan Mao slowly stepped back, then sat on the bow of the boat and ate corn and rice with the boatmen.

If you don’t have vegetables, just two spoonfuls of bean drums will be served. But what else can you ask for? Besides, Yan Mao is not the kind of person who is superior. The Yan family has a reputation, but there is really no money. To be honest, if you are not afraid of jokes, any subordinate in the shogunate family will be more than Yan’s house.

"I heard that you are not from Luoyang?" After dinner, Yan Mao went to the boat to wash the dishes and chopsticks and said casually.

"The official has good eyesight." A boatman smiled and said, "We were originally from Wei. Although we have been in Heyang for many years, our accent cannot be changed."

"What kind of official is the minister who has destroyed his country? He can't do it." Yan Mao said repeatedly.

"If you don't get on the boat in the prison car, you will have a chance." The boatman said with a smile: "Destroy Liu Han, Li Cheng,

They have also appointed many demoted officials. Earlier, Shi Le and Cao have suspiciously sued that they have surrendered officials, and the officials are handsome and handsome, so they may not be able to rise again. And one by one.”

After thinking about it, the boatman said, "When I was about to board the boat, the owner of the banner specially transferred me and told me not to humiliate Mr. Yan. If there were any shortages, he immediately reported it. It has been a few days since he set sail, Mr. Yan was a simple meal and was as peaceful as he was, but he didn't even mention a single request, which made me very impressed."

Yan Mao smiled and said, "You have good eyesight."

"I'm far inferior to the officials, so I've traveled a little more and seen more." The shipworker said, "I've been in the army for many years, but I've been the team leader after I'm late. I'll be like this in this life."

"Oh? Are you waiting for the Daliang Navy?" Yan Maoqi said.

"Yellow River Navy," the shipman said to himself, "It's similar to the troop transport."

"Someone just measured the land on the shore, but wanted to give it to the heroes?" Yan Mao asked.

"I don't know this, probably not." The ship worker said, "Maybe we need to set up the troops in the palace."

"I heard that there were almost hundreds of thousands of soldiers in the north." Yan Mao said, "How about this soldier? Will it compete with the people for profit?"

"It must be a competition for profit with the people. Not to mention anything else, when there is little rain in summer, the military mansion often intercepts the river water and leaves it for itself to irrigate." The shipman said, "A military mansion often has more than one mill, all of which have to intercept the water. Not only do the common people suffer, but even the wealthy families can't do anything about them, just like a country in the country. But there are also benefits one by one."

After thinking about it, the boatman said, "They are rich. The farmers have some mats, bamboo baskets, and pigs and sheep to sell for the grass market, and most of them are bought for the family of the soldiers. If they can also make a couch, recharge cars, lacquerware or brew wine, they can also exchange a lot of money from the soldiers to supplement their family income. Without them, life should be a little sad. Like water cutters,

Even if the military government does not do it, the wealthy family will do it. I saw it more than 20 years ago."

Yan Fan leads the head slightly.

The soldiers in the palace do not block the water, and the wealthy clans also have to block the people. The common people are bullied everywhere. But correspondingly, the soldiers in the palace spend a lot of money, but also give ordinary people the opportunity to do odd jobs. Farmers can also raise livestock and sell them to the government.

The money you get is used to buy food, or directly ask the soldiers of the government to exchange food for meat.

What if it is a wealthy family? I'm afraid it will be difficult.

How much wine and meat can a family of wealthy families eat? They don’t need to buy your things. There are a bunch of part-time craftsmen in their own manor, so why should they buy them out? Unless they have to be forced to sell things that they cannot use to others as much as possible, and then try not to buy other people’s things and slowly accumulate wealth.

This is the better thing about the soldiers in the palace than the wealthy family. Ordinary people would rather face the soldiers everywhere than be neighbors with the wealthy family manor.

Yan Mao used to know a little about the difference, but it was not profound. At this time, he heard the boatman say it in person, and his thoughts were flying for a moment. Just when he was about to say something, he heard an old voice coming from behind him: "This is the ancient Chinese and Autumn Period. Shao Taibai can win the world. Is it a way to practice retro?"

The boatman was speechless. He didn't understand what the ancient system was, and he couldn't say one, two, three, four. Seeing Yan Han come out, he only bowed and stopped talking.

"Father, this is not a well field." Yan Mao said, "What is it? You have to look at it more on the way. Or he quietly glanced at his father and said, "After you arrive in Bianliang, you can ask Emperor Liang for a few questions."

Yan Han snorted and said nothing.

"Is this scholar of Emperor Liang aligned with his father's wishes? When the late emperor was there, his father accused the rich and powerful clans of fighting for land." Yan Mao said again.

Yan Han had no food to reply, only looking at the surrounding wilderness, and his mood was also very messy.

After Hengjiang in the past, he said in front of Wang Dao that "the powers and powers in the north and the south competed to attract food (the people)", which led to "the national ills and families" and should "recruit the power of the (city tourists and refugees) and make the power of the countryside and rebel against the Tiansang."

Director Wang agreed very much, but the Dapu court had such a foundation. To put it bluntly, it was necessary to tolerate and ease the contradictions. The sword could scrape the bones and heal the wounds. After you, Nanheng, you are a mansion who has gained a foothold, more than ten years have passed, and they themselves have also hid a large number of refugees, occupying the land in Daxing Manor, and are already struggling to return, and they are getting further and further on the road to becoming a rich manor.

So, it's useless!

Yan Han did something about the sword, and his words would offend people. If it weren't for the loss of Mr. Li, he would have been squeezed out the sword as if it were the same as the decent ones of the Jiangnan clans. Yan Han only said "Zhou Boren's righteousness", "Bian Wangzhi's integrity", "Yu Wu Jian knows it", and he only recognized two people in Jiangnan. The other "service servants" were in a mess in his eyes and didn't even say good things to Wang Dao.

Shao Xun insisted on daggering him, and called him "Yan Gong". Although he didn't say anything good, he still had a little benefit in his heart.

Today, when I heard about the internal news of the remediation of the rich people in the North, my mind's view on Shao Xun was changed.

This person is able to control the wealthy family, which is something that the emperors of all dynasties have not done.

Yan Han was full of suggestions and subconsciously wanted to propose to Shao Xun, but "the loyal minister and sword serve the two masters", but the sword can be an official for him, and the love will be rewarded!
