Chapter 333 Miscalculation
Taozhou.
Zhang Chao, Ma Zhou and others patrolled the six military palaces that were being built. Three cavalry and three chariots, and six military palaces are six military forts. The military fort is not big, and was designed by Zhang Chao himself, but it was actually a rammed earth castle used.
The castle is not big, but it is completely built for the purpose of military defense. It has inner and outer cities, urns, moats and suspension bridges, and only two gates are opened in each fort. They are built along the Tao River and Tan River. Beacon towers are also built on the mountains near each military mansion, and piers are built on nearby roads.
In each military palace, only troops are stationed, not the people.
The soldiers of the palace usually live in six nearby villages, living with the people, farming in their spare time, but they take turns to the military office to be on duty.
The court gave Taozhou soldiers a special treatment and was exempted from the list this year.
The soldiers of Taozhou do not need to take turns to Chang'an to guard the garrison this year. Starting next year, the five thousand soldiers will be organized into eight groups and will take turns to Beijing every eight months.
I didn’t go to Chang’an, but I still needed to guard the military palace, and it was still eighth. There were more than 600 people in each session, and I was on duty for one and a half months at a time, just once a year.
Each time there are only about a hundred people on duty in a military palace, and they must guard the military palace and also take turns to guard the beacon.
In addition, Zhang Chao stipulated that one squad was stationed in the military palace and two squads were trained. Two squads of soldiers were trained in the military palace, and they were also trained once a year, one month at a time. In fact, there were three squads of soldiers in the military palace as guards, one squad of garrison and two squads on duty, and they could react when they encountered police incidents.
In addition, Zhang Chao also specially ordered that, except for armor, crossbows and spears, they must be stored in the arsenal of the military palace and be kept by the military palace. The military soldiers can carry horizontal knives, bows and spears at home, and require that whether they are farming or traveling, the military soldiers must wear horizontal knives and long bows to be vigilant.
Being in the border, Zhang Chao must be careful.
In addition, the young and strong people also implemented the joint defense and joint protection system of the baojia system, established the township civil defense, and allowed them to train in shifts, be on duty, and conduct patrol inspections, which greatly improved Taozhou's defense capabilities.
The work of dividing the land was going smoothly.
There were not many people left in Taozhou, and a large amount of land was taken over to the government. These lands were basically designated as public land by Zhang Chao as the government's office fund.
The remaining five thousand soldiers of the palace were all assigned to their own fields as they wished.
There are 300 mu of each person, 200 mu of good land, and 100 mu of barren slopes. The 200 mu of land can grow grain, 100 mu of grain, and 100 mu of slopes, and not 100 mu of mountain land is mountainous land, so trees can be planted. Zhang Chao did not break his promise, and everyone was very happy.
The officials were also assigned many fields, whether it was a civil or a military position, there was a job, and there was a job for the official to live forever. If there were titles and honors, another was given a good land.
Because the court gave the Taozhou soldiers at least two awards to the two awards last time, the Taozhou soldiers all had awards. Zhang Chao distributed many fields to the soldiers based on this. These fields were considered honor fields and were also eternal fields, so the court could not choose them.
The fields were divided and the soldiers were very happy.
I really looked at the lands around the land, and the realm cards of my own name were erected. This impact was very strong. With the ground, my heart became much more fulfilled.
"First build six military palaces, then build some forts, and also repair all the beacon towers. Then, we will repair the houses for everyone."
The military government is only for garrisons, and the military soldiers cannot bring their families to live in it. Therefore, the military soldiers have to build another house, and all the military soldiers live in the villages of the military government according to the fields they have allocated.
Zhang Chao hopes that these soldiers of the government can live in concentrated areas with the people and build the village into a fortress. They have certain defense capabilities, after all, they are on the border.
In the event of an attack, you can hold on for some time to wait for the government army to rescue.
"There are really many things!" Zhang Chao sighed.
The land has been divided, but now there is no time to reclaim land and plant. I just hope that the families of the soldiers of the country will come soon and rush to plant the season before that time.
The six military prefectures revolve around two county towns, the Dunbao revolves around the military prefectures, and the townships are connected by forts and villages. This is Zhang Chao’s plan.
Immigration in the border areas, military farming and garrisoning, farming and fighting.
Not only should we enrich the place, but we should also make it a strong defense fortress group, leaving the Qiang, Di, Xianbei and Tubo people with no way to talk.
"I don't know how many families of the soldiers of the government will be willing to move here!"
"We have offered such good conditions, and we can attract thousands of people!" Ma Zhou said.
"I hope!"
Fortunately, Zhang Chao's five thousand soldiers had more than 3,000 soldiers, and they were all elite soldiers. Otherwise, they would have been five thousand young recruits, so Zhang Chao would not be so relaxed.
Chang'an.
It is no longer news that the imperial court wants to keep the tens of thousands of recruits recruited last time in Longshang.
Early in the morning, Wang Yongan and Li Chonggao sat together.
Recently, Li Chonggao, the wolf in Chang'an, was a little low-key. He was stripped of his title because of murder and taking his wife, and was ordered to reflect on his home. Li Chonggao was also influenced by the influence of King Luling County, and was demoted to Duke Luling County, and was directly demoted to two levels.
Wang Yongan quickly shook again.
His father was transferred from Youzhou because he was implicated by the King of Lujiang. As a result, he followed the prince to Youzhou to fight against the Turks last time. After he came back, he was recommended by the prince and appointed him as the governor of Tongzhou and the general of the Yulin Army. Although he was appointed as the governor of Tongzhou and was also given another position as the governor of Qin Qiong before, he was not as good as the governor of the Ministry of War, but because of his father's merits, Wang Yongan was awarded the title of a man in Tangyin County.
Just drinking Erguotou with Zhang Ji’s five-spice beef jerky is indeed a good enjoyment.
"This Zhangjiagou Erguotou is better than the thing we brew ourselves, and you can drink it as soon as you drink it." Li Chonggao smashed his mouth.
‘Indeed, we have put so much effort into it. There is always something wrong with this wine brewing, something is missing.”
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, the barbarians outside the Great Wall can't drink anything. Our mixed-up knives and fake Erguotou are not as popular as they are, and they make a lot of money."
Wang Yongan smiled, "I have a good deal to make money. I wonder if you would like to do it together?"
"What good news for making money?" Li Chonggao had no pursuit, had no courage to go to the battlefield, and had no ability to enter the court. He had only money and enjoyment left.
"You know that Zhang San was sent to Taozhou?"
"I know, that bastard is cheap. If I want me to tell you, I have to throw him to Shazhou." Speaking of Zhang Chao, Li Chonggao couldn't help but say angrily. If it weren't for Zhang San, his father would still be the King of Lujiang now, and he would still be the King of Luling.
"Didn't the court issued a decree to keep all the newly recruited soldiers last time, as well as the 10,000 imperial guards brought by the King of Qin, in Longyou. Longyou lost a lot of people last time, and the border was empty. The court left the more than 10,000 remaining imperial guards and recruits there, and issued an order to move their families."
"What business opportunities are there?" Li Chonggao was puzzled.
"Of course there are. Think about it, what did these more than 10,000 people do in the past? They were the imperial guards of Chang'an and the villagers around Chang'an. Their families have some land. Now they move to Longyou. According to the rules of the court, they can sell the land that the court has distributed to them, and whether it is the land of the imperial court or the Yongye field, they are allowed to sell it."
The land around Chang'an has always been very valuable because it is the capital city after all, with countless dignitaries and wealthy people, so the land is valuable. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the court took a lot of land to those people, so the people who were about to move would have some land.
Even if one person has ten acres and twenty acres, but more than ten thousand households, the total is hundreds of thousands of acres.
If you can take the opportunity to buy these fields at a low price and buy them again, you can make several times more profitable at that time. In particular, you can put away the scattered fields and adjust them, and make them into large pieces of land for sale, which can be more valuable.
"Even if we only make a consistent amount of money by collecting one acre of land, if we can earn 100,000 acres, it will be 100,000 acres. Isn't this business profitable?" Wang Yongan said with a smile.
Li Chonggao's eyes lit up, "Why didn't I think it was indeed a profitable business."
"It's not all." Wang Yongan said proudly, "After those people moved away, they can accept all these things at a cheap price. If they sell them, they will make another profit?"
"Who wants the old furniture of the broken house? Can these things be sold for money?" Li Chonggao shook his head.
"Of course, it can make money. If you think these people want to move away, they will definitely not be able to take these things with them. If you want to sell them in a hurry, you can't sell them at once. Let's take the opportunity to lower the price, collect them like garbage, and spend a few dollars. Then put them in and sell them slowly. How can they be higher than the price you collect? If you accumulate a little, you will naturally make a lot of money."
"This is indeed the reason." Li Chonggao nodded.
Bashang.
The servants from the Duke's Mansion of Luling County came out everywhere and asked about selling land and houses from house to house.
"I heard that your son has ordered a military service in Taozhou. Are you planning to go to Taozhou?" A manager asked with a group of servants.
"I'm planning to go."
"Then you can't take away your fields, real estate, trees and furniture, are you going to sell them?"
“It’s going to be sold.”
"So, you sell all these to me. How much land, how many trees, and how many rooms do you have in your house?"
"Twenty acres of land, two caves, and about one hundred mulberry trees and jujube trees."
"Well, let's do it this way. We have collected all your furniture, land and trees for you. We have collected 66,000 yuan. I wish you a smooth migration."
Someone immediately drafted a contract and handed it to him.
"Press a handprint and 66,000 yuan will be yours."
Who knew, the head of the household shook his head.
"I can't sign!"
The manager's face darkened, "Don't be ungrateful!"
"I really can't sign it. My house, fields and trees are sold."
"Sold, who did you sell?"
"Sold to the Zhang family."
"Which Zhang family?"
"It's the Zhang Sanlang family of Wu'an Hou. The price they paid is much higher than yours. They gave 135 stakes, which is more than twice yours."
The manager's face was as gloomy as water, "Is it really sold?"
"I really sold it, I gave it all the money!"
The manager snorted and got up, "Go, go to the next house!"
As a result, within a moment, they left the next family, and the one was going to Taozhou, but their family's fields, houses, trees and furniture were sold to the Zhang family.
Chapter completed!
