Lord of the House: Chapter 20 Patrol\'s account

In the early morning, Lin Fu woke up early, and Liu Miaozhen was sleeping sweetly, like a begonia after the spring rain. Lin Fu walked to the eaves of the porch and saw Song Jia in the corner of the courtyard watching the morning scene by the window rail.

Lin Fu hugged Song Jia, who was wearing a thin shirt and long skirt, from behind, and put his hands on her warm abdomen. There was no ups and downs, but there was a delicate sensuality, and there was a refreshing aroma on her body. Lin Fu buried her face in hers. Neck stem, close to waterfall-like hair, sniffing greedily.

Song Jia was leaning against the window rail to look at the morning light, and was not prepared for Lin Fie to come from behind. She looked back, but was speechless, and leaned her head against Lin Fie's head, feeling his hot lower abdomen pressing against her. On his plump buttocks, he clasped his calloused hand and whispered, "I haven't thanked you for Yu'er yet..."

"Oh, what a big thing..." Lin Fu smiled, talking in his mouth, but he didn't stop in his hand. Instead, he reached into Song Jia's half-breasted robe and touched the jade-like fat. Generally tender and finger-like flesh.

After the Battle of Jingxiang, there were still three remaining enemies after Huai Shui:

After the Battle of Jingxiang, the remnants of the Yuanzhou army who resisted according to Mubu Mountain were completely desperate, and the rebels killed Chen Zishou and other rebel generals and surrendered.

Chen Hansan is really an immortal strongman. In the battle of Jingxiang, he only led more than a thousand remnants of his troops to escape from Fenglifu into the depths of the southern part of Huaishan. Later, when Huaidong took over Xinyang and Shouzhou, the situation was chaotic. Scattered to the north to break out. Although they called Huaidong to arrest 500 or 600 people before and after, they still told Chen Hansan and dozens of cronies to cross the Huai River and fled to Hezhong Prefecture in early March. He was awarded the special decree of the captive king Ye Jier and was named Luochuan Bo. , Xu Qi recruited old troops and guarded Yichuan on the east bank of Luoshui.

After the letter from Shewenzhuang was sent to Jian'an, thousands of remnants of the She family in northern Fujian walked out of the mountains and surrendered; although there were about 60 children of sect surnames who were listed as war criminals and exiled to the South Seas, women, children and ordinary generals were all exempted from them. Sin, moved to Jieyang for resettlement.

Although She Feihu's widow Song Yu and her youngest son were Song Fu's concubine and grandson, but hundreds of thousands of people died in the **** battle between Huaidong and Zhejiang and Fujian over the years, Lin Fu finally decided to let Zhao Qingshan secretly send Song Yu's mother and son to Xuzhou. , asked Song Jia to arrange for their mother and son to change their names and then cross the sea to Jeju by boat.

Since then, apart from the records of the Special Intelligence Division under the General Staff, no one else knows their identities as criminals. It's not that Lin Fu is worried about anything. The She family has been established in Dongmin for more than two hundred years, and there will inevitably be some treacherous ministers and filial sons who want to restore the She family. Lin Fu didn't want to kill Song Yu's mother and son or put them in prison for a lifetime, so he could only send them to overseas for resettlement alone...

As of May, the war south of the Huai River had completely subsided, and production resumed.

Although Shouzhou was not directly involved in the war, Dong Yuan asked Lin Fu to expel him. About 100,000 young soldiers in Shouzhou were recruited into Henan and moved north to Huaishui—for the past three or five years, their life has just been restored. The arrival of Shouzhou Mansion was also a lot of losses; Xinyang was more deeply affected by the war, and was still recuperating for a period of time.

At this time, the attendant handed in a letter, which had been unpacked, presumably because Gao Zongting had read it and thought it was very important, so he immediately handed it in in a puzzled manner.

"What's the matter?" Song Jia looked up.

"Oh, it seems that we were too conservative before," Lin Fu spread the letter to the railing, hugging Song Jia and reading it together, "The combined data of Dinghu and Tianmu in the counties of Pingjiang and Danyang..."

"So much more!" Song Jia was surprised when she looked at the combined data.

"It's not that there are too many, it's that these gentry are too ruthless!" Lin Bing gritted his teeth and said softly, "If the salt system hadn't been changed, three or four hundred salt officials would be dispatched first, and then the township would be established. Secretary, I am afraid that it will be far from a year to find out the truth; it seems that the Privy Council previously predicted that the total number of Jianghuai, Liangzhe, Fujian, Jiangxi and Liangxiang six counties was 35 million, which is still quite conservative..."

There are 1.5 million registered households in Pingjiang Prefecture. Among the 16 counties and 105 prefectures under the jurisdiction of the Yuan-Vietnam War, the number of Dingkou is second only to the two Zhili Prefectures in Yanjing and Jiangning.

After the Jiangning War, Huaidong actually controlled the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, and Lin Fu was determined to promote the inspection of the fields and households in the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River. Of course, it is estimated that the population of Pingjiang prefecture is between 2.2 million and 2.5 million. between.

As the inventory work continued for more than a year, although Lin Fu repeatedly reminded Lin Mengde to be mentally prepared for the actual data, the combined data was still a big surprise.

The actual recorded population of Pingjiang Prefecture alone is as high as 3.34 million, which is not only far more than the number of registered residents, but also more than 30% higher than the previously estimated upper limit.

In addition to the refugees who fled to the shores of Taihu Lake due to the war, the main reason is the hidden households and host households of Ding Fu who escaped from the corvée.

The former Prime Minister Chen Xiyan's family sent slaves in Jiyang alone to more than 1,200 households and more than 6,000 people; in a remote area, it is enough to be worth the population of a small county.

Corresponding to the hidden households and the sending households, the Pingjiang prefecture alone has up to 3 million mu of sent fields to be checked out; the Chen family in Jiyang has more than 50,000 mu of registered fields, and they are all cultivated fields.

"What are you going to do with it?" Song Jia looked at Lin Fu.

Lin Fu touched his chin: Chen Xiyan has passed away, pulling out the rest of the Chen clan to kill chickens and terrifying monkeys, the positive impact is greater than the negative or the opposite, it is really hard to judge - and Lin Mengdao, after they obtained this combined data, stepped up Sending it here, I can't make up my mind even if I think about it.

Except for Chen Huazhang and Chen Huawen, the core figures of the meeting's politics, other generals and ministers have no favorable impression of the Jiangnan gentry, and will not object to killing the Jiangnan gentry.

Lin Fu asked the maid to bring charcoal, and wrote a letter for approval: "The previous guilt will not be punished, and it will be recorded according to the facts; if there is any objection, the local government will be severely punished!"

"Administrative new policy, don't you want to stand up for a prestige?" Song Jia asked inexplicably. Even if Chen Xiyan died in the end, there is no need to pull out his son and nephew and behead his head. With the effect of being an example, it is strange that Lin Bie does not do it.

The Pingjiang Prefecture established the field record at the beginning of the Yuanyue Dynasty, but in the more than two hundred years since the Yuanyue Dynasty established, the people along the Taihu Lake reclaimed the lake, built ponds and blocked the sea, and created millions of acres of new fields. But it's all outside what's in the field book. Although many ministers have been aware of this problem for more than 200 years and want to check the land and mu to realise the treasury, they will give strong support to officials and gentry from Jiangnan.

Due to the increasing popularity of farming and reading in the south of the Yangtze River, the proportion of those who have studied and entered office is much higher than in other regions, and the Wu Party has always been active inside and outside the center. Many - the superposition of these factors makes Jiangnan's many drawbacks difficult to return.

It was also the might of Lin Fu and Huaidong's soldiers, and the Zhejiang-Fujian army slaughtering cities and lands in the south of the Yangtze River, which made the gentry forces in the south of the Yangtze River completely shut up about this investigation.

Lin Fu sighed softly. After ten years of operation, Hailing, including the five counties in Chongzhou, has a total population of less than 2.5 million. I thought that the actual population of Pingjiang Prefecture was only this number, but I didn't expect that there would be another 800,000 people.

Lin Fu said: "Actually, Jiangnan's business style is quite strong, and it can't be easily attacked; if I take Chen's out to kill chickens and monkeys, I'm afraid I will give the following people the wrong idea. But it's no wonder that there is no such dense and vigorous Ding. Speaking of which, even two Chens can hardly become the power of the business gentry..."

The two Chens mentioned by Lin Fu were the Jiyang Chen clan and the Haiyu Chen clan.

The Jiyang Chen clan is headed by Chen Xiyan, and the Haiyu Chen clan is led by Chen Huazhang, Chen Huawen, and Chen Mingche. Although they have the characteristics of traditional officials and gentry, they actually have a strong business atmosphere, and Lin Fu called them business gentry.

Take the Chen family in Haiyu as an example. The Chen family deals in silk fabrics. In addition to hiring people to take care of the mulberry garden with 30,000 to 400,000 mu, there are also special nest silk and silk weaving workshops, with more than 2,000 looms and hired weaving machines. There are thousands of workers, and there are silk villages spreading all over the world along the Yangzijiang River and Caodao. It can be said that the traditional handicraft workshop is the ultimate.

If it weren't for the influence and drag of the war, the Chen clan would have been called the number one business family; the solid foundation gained from dealing in silk cloth is even thicker than that of the Dongyang Lin clan.

In addition to merging land, the Chen family in Jiyang also operates the cloth industry; in the early years, the Dongyang Lin family operated warehouses throughout Jianghuai and Hunan, the Ye family managed the paper industry, the Xiao family operated the **** shop, and the Xihe Club used shipping as its business. Zhou Guangnan's family is engaged in shipping, and Su Pinxiao's family has an industry in Xiling Mine——

These are the basis for the implementation of the New Deal, and it is a manifestation of the need to seek new breakthroughs when the old pattern has reached its extremes. How can we attack it casually? Lin Fuzhen wants to suppress the business style of business gentry in the Jianghuai region~www.mtlnovel.com~ is not conducive to the development of industry, mining and commerce,

"It seems that the matter of Jiangdong's division and governance will be accelerated..." Song Jia said with emotion.

"Yes, we need to speed up," Lin Fu said, "The Privy Council previously estimated that the population of the seven prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River was 12 million. From the combined data of Danyang and Pingjiang, 16 million could not be beaten. Huai We have done a lot of work in the east, but the population of Weiyang Prefecture (Yangzhou) is likely to be overestimated by one million. The population of Huaidong, including Xusi and Chongzhou counties, should be Seven million, not the previously estimated six million; and Huaixi Shouzhou, Xinyang Haozhou, Luzhou plus Chizhou and Yijiang on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the total population may reach as much as four million— - In this way, the total population of the area covered by the original Jiangdong County alone is as high as 27 million; it is impossible to govern without division..."

"Before the war, Jiangdong County was only 12 million in Dingkou, right?" Song Jia asked, "It is not unreasonable for Yuanyue to die."

In addition to the large influx of refugees from Henan, Shandong, Yanji and other places, the difference between the registered population and the actual population is so huge. In fact, in the late Yuan and Yue, effective control of the locality has been lost, resulting in a large number of hidden fields, The host is out of the control of the central and local government.

Of course, the combined data of the two prefectures in Pingjiang and Danjiang far exceeded the previous estimate. This is a good thing, which means that Jiangning directly controls the population, which is likely to be close to 50 million, rather than the previously estimated 35 million.

At this time, Lin Fu is planning to increase the central revenue by 50% from the current 20 million silver dollars in three years; if the actual population is 40% higher than the estimated, Lin Fu is confident that the central bank will be able to make it within three years. The annual revenue has increased to 40 million silver dollars, and the Northern Expedition may not have to be delayed until three years later. My QT room is open!
