Royal Road - Chapter 104

[Chapter 104]

“Have all the yellow books in the palace been determined?” Liang Feng asked while flipping through the thick book in front of him.

After reorganizing the military system, Duan Qin devoted himself to civil affairs.

The first thing to do, of course, is to count the population and fields of the government and compile them into a book.

If it was in the prefecture and county, this behavior would be called “editing households and Qimin”, but obviously the people in Liang’s house are not the common people who can get household registration, but real hidden households, so Liang Feng also changed household registration. The name of the book, referred to as the Yellow Book.

“Exactly.” Duan Qin seemed to have lost weight again, but his spirit became more and more vigorous, “Last year, the government took in 310 households of refugees, totaling 973 people, plus the original households in Liangfu. , has exceeded 400 households.”

This is a rather terrifying number, you must know that the population of every state and county is now withering, and the population of large counties is only 1,000 households, and the smaller counties may not be less than 500.

Fortunately, the refugees entered the Liangfu one after another, and many of them caught up with last year’s summer planting, and the land reclamation achieved a bumper harvest.

Combined with the sale of china, paper and books, and the proceeds of several wars, it is possible to support so many mouths.

However, the situation this year is different from last year. These refugees are not idle at all, they are all used to open up wasteland.

The two villages that have been put into effect have fully restored the surrounding farmland. These are all private properties of Liangfu. The output of the fields is enough to support these farmers.

“However, the proportion of the trilogy is still high. Now there are 200 main soldiers and 500 auxiliary soldiers, including most of the young people in the Liang residence. In this way, the summer food received by the residence will also be reduced. It will be a little less.” Duan Qin said again.

This is the inevitable impact of military merits granting land. Just the army mu of these soldiers will consume the tax collection of 100 households.

I am afraid that the actual income from Tianfu in the house is less than three-quarters.

And for these fields, there is also the need to support soldiers, carpentry workshops, and other expenses in the mansion, and the rest is even less.

This is Songun politics, and everything is based on military goals.

To tell the truth, in this case, he can still keep the people under his rule from suffering as much as when Cao Wei was in the fields, which means he has managed well.

Liang Feng snorted: “Rong’er and I don’t spend much, so let’s focus on raising the people and the soldiers.”

This is also what Duan Qin admires the most about his lord.

As a standard nobility, he is more frugal than ordinary people can imagine.

I only have enough food to eat, enough clothes to wear, and I don’t need any luxury goods. I seldom use the Tibetan scripture paper and paper paper produced in the house. I only use rough hemp paper to write records.

But for the people under the rule, it is another way.

Not to mention the Fuzhong episode, even the refugees it sheltered were better than the refugees in Gaodu City.

Only in this way will the people of the Liang family desire.

To be able to control oneself without being stingy is really a sign of the master.

But the lord is a good lord, and the money and food are really stretched.

Duan Qin nodded: “My lord is benevolent. But this way, the manor will be nervous to buy other things. If you want to continue to open up wasteland, you will need to farm at least fifty cattle.”

When he heard the money, Liang Feng had a toothache again: ” Now that the summer harvest is not over, and the price of grain remains high, I am afraid that it will not be able to exchange much grain, so it is better to replace it with cattle. Taofang has also released a batch of new porcelain, and plans to exchange some copper and iron for the iron workshop to make weapons. ”

It is much cheaper to make it yourself than to buy it, but the raw materials are still indispensable.

Minerals belong to the state, but most of the mines are controlled by princes and nobles. In addition to the years of war, the black market trade is still prosperous.

However, I am afraid that it will be troublesome to exchange. It is safer to exchange porcelain for silk, and then exchange for ore with silk.

This is obviously to tear down the east wall to make up the west wall, but other than that, there is no better way.

Duan Qin wrote it down secretly and continued: “There is also the matter of mulberry and hemp. This spring, the mulberry orchard has a high yield, but there are no silkworm farmers in the house. I am afraid that they will sell mulberry leaves for new silk.

” , and host so many refugees, must make full use of the population resources.

Liang Feng nodded and said: “I also let Mufang see if we can improve the spinning machine. If it can be done, it will be a big profit. But after thinking about it, I still feel that things like waterwheels and spinning machines cannot be leaked. It’s not easy to make money…”

“Nowadays, the most valuable things should be extravagant things. For example, wine, brocade, porcelain, glass or spices. These things are sold to aristocratic families. Even if you don’t exchange food, you can exchange for large sums of money, silk and silk, which is a huge profit. Now that there is white porcelain in the mansion, if we can add another, it will be enough to support the expenses.” Duan Qin replied.

Jin people’s extravagance is completely up and down.

At the beginning of peace Wu, Emperor Wu selected thousands of palace maids from the Wu palace to fill the palace, and there are tens of thousands of queens in the palace.

Afterwards, he indulged his relatives and favored officials to spend extravagantly, and extravagance prevailed.

Although they have fought fiercely for more than ten years now, many high gates still maintain the habits of the Taikang years.

Treat these extravagant pleasures far more than others.

“Grain wine is not enough, but you can try fruit wine. There are many orchards on the mountain. Let’s try to make a plum bar first. There is also Liuli. You can also try it.” Liang Feng thought about it and replied.

Grain wine is purified and distilled to make high-quality wine, which is quite profitable.

However, there is chaos in various places, and there is a shortage of food everywhere. If there is a food shortage caused by winemaking, it will not be able to make up for it.

There is no such problem with fruit wine. Anyway, there are many mountains here, and it is a big deal to have a variety of fruit trees. Try to see if you can produce some flavored fruit wine.

As for the glaze, this thing is actually an ancient glass product.

Since the Han Dynasty, China has imported a lot of glazed items from abroad. For example, Wang Ji, the son-in-law of Emperor Wu, used glazed bowls in his home; and Sun Liang, the king of Wu, was said to have glazed screens.

It can be said that glazed glass is a representative of luxury and status, and its price is even higher than that of porcelain and jade.

However, to others, glazed glass is more expensive than gold, but to Liang Feng, it is not some silica.

It’s just that the technical level was not up to the standard. Now that there is a bellows and a high-temperature furnace, you can really try it.

Duan Qin was taken aback by these words. He thought that the master ordered the improvement of the textile machine because he wanted to develop brocade!

You must know that the brocade industry in the north is also quite developed, just as Zuo Si praised “Splendid Xiangyi, Luo Qichaoge, Mianhu House, and Zongzong Qinghe”.

Si, Yi, and Yan have a large number of skilled craftsmen who are skilled in weaving and spinning.

Unexpectedly, the lord would say Liuli when he opened his mouth.

Not everyone can do this!

What Liang Feng thought was not so simple.

For glass, the price is second, and the lens is more important.

If you can have such a weapon as a military telescope, you will have a better chance of winning in battle. Knowing yourself and knowing the enemy can help you win a hundred battles.

“As a result, pottery workshops may not be able to specialize in ceramics anymore, but should be divided according to the type of work. Woodworkers are for agriculture, ironworkers are for ordnance, and kiln workers are for export. It is necessary to integrate the workshops and redistribute the personnel of the workshops. Structure.” Liang Feng already had a general idea in mind, except for the paper workshop and the study room, the strategic significance of the other workshops is far beyond the beginning of the workshop, so naturally it should be re-planned.

Seeing Liang Feng’s confident appearance, Duan Qin couldn’t help sighing in his heart, who would have thought that an aristocratic family would be so good at business.

However, this kind of cheap business is not the foundation of the country.

If there is no Guan Zhong, how can the five hegemons be together?

If there is no Fan Li, how can we talk about the restoration of the King of Yue?

As long as it can be used where it should be used, it is an extraordinary talent!

Delightedly bowing his head, Duan Qin said, “It’s just the master’s arrangement!”

※

“General, there is news of trouble again in Jin Yongcheng. Sheep people begged the general to change her residence…”

Listening to the whispered report of the confidant , Chen Bing, the general of the right guard, only felt a chill behind his back.

Jin Yongcheng is in trouble?

He had no doubts.

Since Empress Jia, how many princes and nobles have died in that cold palace.

The one who just died tragically was still roasted to death by fire, the sound of mourning reached the sky, and even the soldiers under the murderer couldn’t help crying.

In such a forbidden palace, how could you not be afraid?

Sheep people were originally noble queens, and even if they were abolished by the emperor’s younger brother, they should not have such bad luck.

“I will petition Your Majesty to change the palace for the Yangshuren.” In the end, Chen Feng replied.

After all, he was also a servant of His Majesty, so he should not look at the former queen with fear and worry.

Today’s Luoyang is not what it used to be.

After Zhang Fang plundered the palace city, the city, which was already devastated by war and famine, became even more desolate.

The emperor’s younger brother, Sima Ying, had long been unbearable for this palace city, and returned to Ye City. What was left behind were only eagles and claws, and the disturbing endgame.

Could it be that Sima Ying, a cowardly person, ascended the throne?

Chen Feng really couldn’t convince himself, let alone become a part of this mess.

The original twenty-four friends of Jinguyuan have long since passed away.

Shi Chong, Pan Yue, Lu Ji, these romantic talents, just like withered petals, they will never return with the passing water.

He was trapped in this ruined city and could not be freed.

If only someone could break this stagnant water!

At least, let that Sima Ying know that there are people in the DPRK who are loyal to the country!

However, even Chen Feng himself did not expect the opportunity to come so quickly!

After getting off the ox cart, I saw a person hurriedly greeted him: “General Chen, stay safe?”

Seeing that person, Chen Feng was really surprised, and quickly bowed: “How dare you ask the King of Donghai to welcome you… Sima Yue didn’t wait

for

him to finish, but took his arm: “Twenty-four friends are famous all over the world, and I admire them deeply. Why should the general be polite?

” , No one has ever mentioned the name “Twenty-Four Friends” in front of Chen Feng.

His eyes couldn’t help but heat, he followed Sima Yue into the side hall.

When he arrived in the hall, Chen Feng discovered that there was still a person sitting in the guest seat, with a thin face and a gloomy expression. It was Shangguan Si, the commander of the late King of Changsha.

He didn’t expect to see this person at the East Sea Palace, Chen Feng couldn’t help but look at the main seat.

Sure enough, Sima Yue had already touched his knees and sighed: “I never thought that Shidu would die so inexplicably, but now that Chengdu is determined to go its own way, it has already messed up the rules of the imperial court, which makes me very worried! I want to discuss this…”
