The indiscriminate minting of coins makes all things more noble, and history has been written.

However, even though he knew the harm of drinking poison to quench thirst, the court still granted the power of minting coins in the department, which was really the least of the harm of the soldiers' mutiny or looting the countryside.

Just like Emperor Shaolong was disliked by Chushan again and was more cautious about Chushan again. Before the official establishment of the Jingxiang System, he still pinched his nose to pay nearly 2 million guan of money and food for Chushan this year. After all, no one could afford the tragic consequences of the Chushan army, the most elite in Dayue, would eventually cause a mutiny due to lack of food and wages.

Now that Jingxiang Road has been settled, it has been divided with the court about money and grain. In theory, it is enough to use the financial resources of Nanyang, Xiangyang and Jingzhou and privately occupied land to confiscate them for settlement, which is enough to fill the previous withdrawal of the court.

After all, before Emperor Jianji conducted an investigation on privately occupied land in Xiangyang Prefecture (Xiang, Fang, and all three prefectures). At that time, nearly 400,000 mu of privately occupied land were found to be incorporated into the field book, and nearly 100,000 stone of grain levies were added every year.

Nanyang and Jingzhou have a more flat land. In addition, almost all Jianli County is divided into military camps, and the Department of Justice has added more than one million acres of military farms, which can be estimated by all the ministers in the court with their eyes closed.

The profits of military farming are also far above the tuition fields.

The problem must be after the settlement is completed.

However, there were still 600,000 or 700,000 hungry people in Jingxiang at this time, but they were unable to completely get rid of the survival crisis; even if they were resettled with tens of thousands of people in Nancai County, they had just barely reached the most basic food and clothing line at this time.

In the next few years, the prefectures and counties will continue to build water conservancy projects, reclaim barren mountains, reclamation of lakes and rivers, and build a large number of villages and villages. This requires the subsequent investment of a large amount of resources by the Department of Management.

Xin Khan, a Chihu man, ascended the throne, and the main force of the cavalry returned to the Hehuai and Guanshan battlefields again. The General Office needed to mobilize twice the number of troops in this winter to strengthen the preparations for the Yishui, Jishan and Rushui.

This also means that the Ministry of the Ministry of Justice in military preparation will return to the high point of the fourth year of Jianji.

However, Xu Huai firmly disagrees with imitating the Western Qin Dynasty and the Dongchuan two roads to cast iron coins.

He investigated private occupation of land in Jingxiang, reduced the lease limit, removed the gentry of the village tyrants from the local troops, set up inspection departments to limit the control of the village tyrants over the countryside, and set up the official selection department. Next, he had to sort out the clerks in Nanyang, Xiangyang and Jingzhou. It can be said that he offended all the village tyrants.

The biggest reliance of Jingxiang is the middle and lower class of poor people.

Indiscriminate cast iron coins can temporarily ensure that the army is prepared, but it has caused the public to complain, and Jingxiang will eventually be unable to truly gather into a powerful force.

Even if it is a temporary solution, you cannot open this hole.

Once this hole is opened, in addition to the difficulty in getting rid of subsequent dependencies, it will also tear a huge gap between the Department of Control and the middle and lower classes.

The real foundation is shaken, which is difficult to make up for in the future.

As for the sale of cast iron coupons, the initial effect may not be very good, but it can fill the gap in the degree of support.

The middle and lower-class people who have some surplus money and surplus food, three or five kilns of coins, three or five hundred coins, or three or five dou of grain, can buy iron coupons from the Department of Production to some extent, and can further bind the interests of the middle and lower-class people and the Department of Production to further bind together.

Of course, in addition to the long-term shortage of the branch and difficulty in surplus, after the establishment of the General Department, Xu Huai was more confident in at least the enemy in Heluo and the west of Jinghu.

Jingxiang actually governed the territory of Ru, Cai, Shen, Deng, Tang, Xiang, Fang, Jun, Jing Jiuzhou. The territory not only exceeded the previous Jingxi South Road, but also exceeded Huaidong, Huaixi, Dongchuan, and Xiqin Roads.

After the merger of hidden households and refugees, the population of Jingxiang is expected to reach 4 million, even a little higher than before the war; before the Chihu people conquered the Khitan, the total population was about 2 million.

The population of Jingxiang is 4 million. The seemingly weak Hehuai River and Huai River residents account for a considerable proportion, and they are still new. However, the Hehuai River and Huai River residents have experienced the suffering of separation and chaos over the years. They all watch their relatives, friends, old and old friends, wives, children, and children trampled on and died of hunger. This has also created their hatred for the Red Barbarians, and they have brewed a more urgent desire to recover the Central Plains.

The suffering and torture they have experienced also make them have a stronger will and endurance, have a more calm and courageous faced with death, and are more hard-working.

Compared with the strength of the body, this is the basis for whether it can become an elite martial arts soldier.

Of course, after cruel and even cruelty, the people living in Hehuai River and Huai River seem to be weak after enduring years of hunger, but their foundation is absolutely not bad.

In the fourth year of Jiansheng, Chu Shan was on the 100,000 troops on the Rucai front line, and he had already squeezed out the potential for military mobilization.

At this time, except for Chushan's military mobilization capabilities in Ru, Cai and Shen prefectures, the 40,000 troops in Nanyang, Xiangyang and Jingzhou were not weakened, and the newly established inspectors in the four counties in Jingbei, Nancai and Nanyang were newly appointed with a total of nearly 200,000 troops.

Next, after Guangxing Township Office took over Nanyang, the local village soldiers in Xiangyang were trained and further mobilized the middle and lower class poor people, there was room for further expansion of military mobilization potential.

What else is worth pessimistic?

Speaking of military farming, the court estimated that the General Administration Department would increase the military farming in Nanyang, Jingzhou and Nancai, Qiao County, about 120 to 1.5 million mu. However, as of September, the reclamation of hamlets in Nancai, Qiao County had reached 250,000 mu. Zhangshan, Fantai, Changlin and Dongzhou Inspection Department completed confiscation, and the reclamation of hamlets and beach areas had reached 550,000 mu.

In addition, there are at least one million acres of arable land resources east of Jiangling, Wazi Lake, Bailu Lake, and the Linjiang area south of Sangchi Lake, as well as the Jianlidu Inspection Department, including Chishan Bay, which can be developed and reclaimed step by step.

At this time, the total of the registered land in the counties in Nanyang Prefecture was about 5 million mu, but in the middle of the Dayue period, the two prefectures in the Tang and Dengzhou recorded more than 6 million mu of tax fields.

This is mainly due to frequent floods in the Tangbai River Basin. Since the founding of the Great Yue Dynasty, the Tanghe River and the Baihe River have been diverted many times.

Especially when rivers are diverted, a large amount of land will be removed from the prefectures and counties. However, after the old rivers are silted, officials and gentry colluded to occupy and reclaim, but rarely entered the land book or tried every means to record it or conceal it.

This has caused the population of Nanyang Prefecture to multiply in the past century, and not only did it not increase, but it also reduced a lot.

Therefore, if you really have to make up your mind to investigate the land, Nanyang Prefecture alone can find at least millions of privately occupied land. It is optimistic that Nanyang Prefecture alone may find more than one.5 million mu of privately occupied land.

This is also the most fundamental reason why the gentry of the Nanyang clan feared and hated Chushan, and it touched their roots.

Xu Huai decided to dig out all these privately occupied land, so he naturally did not think about reconciliation with the clan gentry.

Of course, Xu Huai’s greatest confidence is to manage the army and even the local government, which means that he does not rely on clan gentry fundamentally.

In addition, the east and west wings of Nanyang Prefecture are the western foot of Tongbai Mountain and the southern foot of Funiu Mountain. There are also Wudang Mountain, Jingshan, Jingshan, and Wushan Mountain in Jingzhou.

These mountains not only have a large amount of arable land resources to be further developed, but also have a large amount of copper ore and medicinal materials, tung oil, wood, stone and other product resources for development.

In general, in terms of economic and military potential, Jing'an is more than enough to support the Chihu people in the middle, or even organize a large-scale counterattack against Heluo and the western Jing.

But these potentials need to be transformed into real strength, and there are too many things to do.

However, the situation in Jingjing will only improve step by step and will not become worse. What is more important is whether Huaidong, Huaixi and along the Qinling Mountains can support the offensive of the Chihu people.

Yang Qiye did not stay in Jingxiang in the end, but led the Youxiaosheng Army to Chushan under the orders and accepted the restraint of Wen Hengyue. At the same time, the Youxiaosheng Army's family was moved to Runzhou to resettlement and garrison.

In this way, the Zuo Xuanwu Army led by Deng Gui and Yang Qiye and the Right Xiaosheng Army formed the main force of the Huaidong camp to defend against Xu Hai's enemy. The original Shenwu Army retained 20,000 troops to stay in Huaidong, and the family was moved to Runzhou for resettlement. After completing such a replacement, Wen Hengyue's body could not be supported. Gu Fan officially replaced Wen Hengyue and served as the Huaidong General Pacification Envoy.

In Huaixi, Han Shiliang replaced Yang Maoyan as the commander of the garrison. Liu Yan led the Zuo Xiaosheng Army, who had completed the garrison and was appointed as the deputy commander of the Huaixi system. Including Zuo Xiaosheng Army, Guide Army and Han Shiliang's direct subordinates, the number of troops in Huaixi exceeded 100,000, making it the most commanding department under the jurisdiction of Dayue.

The Imperial Guards Yu Gong, Ling Jian and other generals were transferred from abroad, while Ge Yu and others were transferred from the Imperial Guards. They were once a dozen trusted Huaidong generals under Zheng Huaizhong. After actively impeaching the Zheng family's father and son, they were also transferred from Jingnan one after another, and the Jingbei General Office or the Military and Madu Supervisor Office was appointed as generals.

At the same time, Yang Maoyan, Ning Ci, Wu Wenche and others were transferred back to the center and served as the chief political affairs. Emperor Shaolong was considered to have completed the preliminary blood exchange after ascending the throne.

From all aspects of Dayue, it has been greatly improved compared to before Emperor Jianji's death.
