Chapter 347: Outside Nanyang City
The light was like an arrow, and it was March of Yang Lip in a blink of an eye. Zhou Feng and Cui Yu were about to give birth, which made Lin Chunhong both excited and expectant, and ordered Chen Tianyao to take good care of the pregnant woman and the child.
In the eyes of Zhou Feng and Cui Yu, Chen Tianyao is just a little girl. In addition, she has a good personality, which is really hard to hate. So Zhou Feng and Cui Yu slowly accepted her and were very grateful for Chen Tianyao's care of the four of them.
This made Lin Chunhong breathe a sigh of relief and prayed secretly: He must have the opportunity to stay by Zhou Feng and Cui Yu, and wait for the two children to be born safely.
As the saying goes, he will come whatever he is afraid of. Before his prayers are over, Zhang Jief reported that Xiong Wencan officially took office as the governor of six provinces and summoned all generals to Yancheng to discuss military information.
Lin Chunhong couldn't help but curse: "Damn it, I've been delaying it so hard and acted decisively..."
Even though he was scolding, Lin Chunhong knew the importance of it. This Yancheng meeting was related to the transaction between him and Xiong Wencan, or Bangtai's land strategy. If he was absent, Xiong Wencan made some random arrangements, which would not be a small part of the loss to Bangtai.
Lin Chunhong kept stroking Zhou Feng and Cui Yuer's big belly, and reluctantly summoned it into one sentence: "The two ladies have suffered..."
Zhou Feng and Cui Yu were aware of the general people and reluctantly sent Lin Chunhong out of the Lin Mansion. They watched Lin Chunhong lead the guard camp and disappear at the end of the street...
Half a year has been established, Ning Dian is the commander of the battalion and Yu Ze is the deputy. Although the battalion was named as the battalion, the number of people was only more than 500, which is essentially the army's organization. Chen Jixing was also in the battalion and served as the captain. He was named the captain, but his actual rank was equivalent to that of the sentry generals in other army. Other soldiers, all of which were one or two levels higher than other army.
Among them, Ning Dian and Yu Ze had the highest military rank, namely General Xuanwei and the Zhiguo Captain. Among the more than 500 soldiers, almost half were behind martyrs. All the bows, horses, firearms and firearms were skilled, and their loyalty was enough to guarantee.
The guards were all cavalrymen, with two to three horses per capita, and their weapons were mainly steel crossbows or firearms.
And the guard camp surrounded Lin Chunhong like a gust of wind, rolling up pieces of smoke and dust, and heading towards Nanyang. In just three days, they met with the officials and generals who were leaving the city to greet them.
The officials were headed by Bao Zhedong, and the generals were headed by Sheng Kunshan. Sheng Kunshan was in charge of the commander-in-chief seal, and under the command of the three armies of the Cavalry, the Pili Army and the Shenji Army. Their status was naturally above Lin Chunyi and others.
After some greetings, everyone rushed to Nanyang City.
Before he could see the city walls of Nanyang, Lin Chunhong discovered that a large-scale market was formed along the Baihe River, which lasted for several miles, was crowded with people, and was busy, making a bustling scene.
Lin Chunhong was happy and turned to Bao Zhedong and said, "Duke Meng Xiang is good at managing Nanyang well and prospers!"
Bao Zhedong was timid. After hearing Lin Chunhong's praise, he thought Lin Chunhong criticized him for not including the market within the city wall. He immediately said nervously: "Governor, please forgive me. Nanyang Prefecture has always wanted to expand the city wall, but it is difficult to raise the money and grain, so it has been delayed until now."
Lin Chunhong looked at Bao Zhedong in fear, knowing that Bao Zhedong had a misunderstanding, and did not say it out loud at the moment, but said irresistible: "Don't hurry the city wall, take it slowly. But this human heart must be put away well. The human heart is the city wall, which is stronger than the city wall. If you win the hearts of people, even if the enemy cavalry is 100,000, what can I do to me?"
Bao Zhedong smiled and said, "The governor is far-sighted, but his subordinates are not far away."
Lin Chunhong ignored Bao Zhedong's flattery and just asked: "The land purchase of Nanyang Prefecture has been carried out for more than 60%. Is the remaining land difficult?"
This sentence is considered to be about Bao Zhedong's heart, and he almost burst into tears. Over the past year, Bao Zhedong's most troublesome thing was to exchange land. According to the arrangements of the Zhongshu Mansion, all land purchases were paid with gold tickets. The time for gold tickets to be launched was short, and most bureaucrats and gentry were unable to accept it. In order to highlight their political achievements, Bao Zhedong traveled all the mountains and rivers of Nanyang, and was low and small, and persuaded the gentry of Nanyang to exchange land.
With Bao Zhedong's efforts, Nanyang's land purchases were much smoother and smoother than Kuizhou, and Yunyang was considered one of Bao Zhedong's outstanding achievements.
Immediately, Bao Zhedong said with a bitter face: "Then it is very difficult. The enlightened gentry has basically completed the purchase. The rest are all hard-working to ask them to sell their land unless they are forced by archers..."
Lin Chunhong interrupted Bao Zhedong and shook his head and said, "Don't force it, just follow the trend. With 60% of Nanyang's land in hand, all farmers who rented land and rented land almost reduced to less than 20%. Those who hold the land will not make a profit or recruit enough people to cultivate. Sooner or later, they will turn around."
Bao Zhedong nodded constantly and claimed that he was. Bao Zhedong was so timid that Lin Chunhong couldn't help but feel funny. At that time, he thought that Bao Zhedong was not qualified for the position of Nanyang Prefecture, but he did not expect that it was because he was timid and afraid of something, so he accidentally turned Nanyang into a model for land purchase.
It seems that no matter who is, as long as he is asked to do the right thing, he can burst out energy that ordinary people can unimaginable.
Lin Chunhong turned his head and looked into the lively market, and a smile appeared on his face.
In this market, the tax revenue is estimated to exceed the tax of more than 100,000 acres of land. Once the bureaucrats and gentry in Nanyang taste the sweetness, they will eat the taste of the marrow. Where will they go back?
In fact, the prosperity of the Nanyang market is related to land exchange. After purchasing land, it is equivalent to using land as capital to flow into the capital market. In Nanyang, there are almost tens of millions of taels of silver in a year, and investment and consumption are extremely strong, and the money supply is extremely sufficient. The prosperity of the market is naturally reasonable.
This is true in Nanyang. Other areas directly controlled by Bangtai are prosperous one day more and more, and land purchase is also one of the important reasons.
However, Lin Chunhong came to Nanyang this time, naturally not to inspect Nanyang's civil affairs. His main purpose was to understand the bandit situation on the front line, and then adjust the military deployment to prepare for his upcoming entry into Wuchang Prefecture and Sichuan.
At present, except for the Tianwu Army stationed outside Jingzhou City, the archers of Xiangyang, Yunyang and Nanyang Prefectures are enough to ensure local security. The three armies of Tiance, Xiongwei and Xuanwu stationed in the three prefectures can be drawn out, and together with the five armies of Tiger Xiao, Shenwei, Pili, Shenji and Cavalry, there are a total of eight armies, and more than 50,000 field troops, which is enough to control the situation in the entire Henan.
Moreover, after nearly two years of governance and battlefield construction, Nanyang stored countless weapons, money and grain, and short supply lines, which were enough to support more than 50,000 troops in battle for more than a year.
