Chapter 328 Idle Cornucopia
There is also some spring drought in the four counties of Hezhou.
However, because Jiangpu County, He County and Wujiang County are all surrounded by water, they are irrigated during spring plowing, and the crops are growing well.
Only Hanshan County is backed by Xiaohanshan Mountain and is farther away from the riverside, and the spring drought is more obvious.
Although Hezhou people are weak and lack a little bit of strength, if they really can't eat, they will not be afraid of wearing shoes.
The public security in Hezhou Prefecture, Jiangpu and Wujiang is fine. In Hanshan County, the people are used to going into the mountains to become bandits in the desert.
The bandits in Xiaohanshan were once as famous as the bandits in Heimen Mountain.
Before fighting Hezhou last year, Tang Guang was ordered to suppress the bandits in Xiaohanshan, and only in Hanshan County was considered safe.
Now, we must prevent the resurgence of the ashes.
Xiaohan Mountain is at the junction of Chuzhou and Hezhou. If it becomes chaotic inside, it will affect the public security of the two places.
How to soothe hungry people?
Agricultural tax must be exempted from less, and if it really doesn’t work, relief will be required.
Everyone was relieved when they were experiencing the harvest in the fields in Hanshan County.
Even if Hanshan County needs relief grain, it is not as serious as Quyang County. It is estimated that it is similar to Binjiang County.
"Luzhou is not afraid, it depends on Shouzhou and Shuzhou..."
Monk Zhiran frowned and said.
The Chuzhou Army seemed to occupy a land full of food and grass in the south of the Yangtze River, but now the soldiers have reached a terrifying number of hundreds of thousands.
Raising soldiers first, and calming the people became the second.
If there are many places that need relief, food will be tight.
There was nothing big about Hezhou, so we walked around and arrived in Luzhou.
When I arrived in Luzhou, I couldn't avoid Chaohu Camp.
Now the person in charge here is General Yu San, the third son of Marshal Yu, who is responsible for training the new navy soldiers.
General Yu San was in his twenties and had not yet got married. He is now considered a "golden bachelor" in the Chuzhou army.
Like his niece and eldest daughter, he had a marriage contract before, and the "Chaohu Change" later changed Luzhou and the marriage between his uncle and nephew also changed.
Miss Yu got engaged from childhood to her aunt's cousin, namely the three Chaohu navy members, the Sheng family of the Sheng family.
He is the eldest son of Sheng Shuangdao, one of the commanders of Chaohu Navy.
General Yu San got engaged to Sheng Shuangdao's cousin, and his wedding date was originally scheduled for last winter.
Yu, An and Sheng families contact each other with relatives, so they can be more relatives.
As a result, Sheng Shuangdao was persuaded by Shou Tianwan, the right protector of Maitreya, and cooperated with the poison to kill the old commander who was kind to the navy. He then joined forces with the Luzhou magistrate to plot against the two families of An, and wanted to dominate the Chaohu Navy.
As a result, the Yu family's head, Mr. Yu Xiu, jumped out of Luzhou and sent his son-in-law An Yong to Chuzhou for help, and asked for Chuzhou army to solve the dilemma of the navy.
Sheng Shuangdao originally wanted to set up a "Hongmen Banquet" and poisoned the Yu and An families, but was driven over by Mr. Lin, who was driven over, saw through the obstacles. He was afraid of Sheng Shuangdao's plan, so he even caught Sheng Shuangdao.
In addition to being Yu Dahai’s sworn brother, Sheng Shuangdao is also Yu Dahai’s brother-in-law.
Mrs. Sheng begged her sister Mrs. Yu and released the Sheng family privately.
Sheng Shuangdao gathered his old subordinates and wanted to leave Chaohu and go to Anqing, but was blocked by Yu Dahai.
There was a water battle between the two sides, and Yu Dahai personally cut Sheng Shuangdao under the knife.
He has become a mortal enemy, and Yu Dahai is not a compassionate person. Knowing that Sheng and Yu's family are tangled, he is cruel and openly let the Sheng family leave Chaohu, and privately asks someone to follow him. After entering the Yangtze River, he smashes the Sheng family's boat.
For this reason, Mrs. Yu was ill and recuperated for ten months before she recovered...
Then Huo Yu and Huo An married each other, but there was nothing to do with General Yu San.
When the Chuzhou Army was in Jinling, the Huo clan members also came into everyone's sight.
Marshal Yu really made people pay attention to Huo Chun, but in the end, Shui Jin took the lead.
After a while, General Yu San’s marriage has not yet been settled.
General Yu San is similar to Shui Jin. Although the two are known as teachers and students, they are actually fellow students, and they are very happy to meet again now.
General Yu San is also respectful to Huo Bao, the "Young Master".
As a landlord, General Yu San held a banquet to welcome everyone.
It is now early June, and it is the time for Lake Food to be launched.
Silverfish, white shrimp and crabs are the "Three Fresh Freshnesses in Chaohu".
It’s just that the crabs will not be available in August, and now I use the crab paste I saved last year to make tofu.
Song Lin and Monk Zhiran all drank the rice wine and ate the lake food; but the water came in, and they felt that the fish and shrimp were too vegetarian, and they were guarding a plate of big elbows to satisfy their cravings.
Huo Bao's attention was on the table, not on the table.
This was his first time to come to Chaohu Navy's nest.
This is the largest island on Chaohu Lake. The house is covered with vast buildings, but it looks a bit dilapidated.
Looking at the utensils on the table, the patterns are magnificent, but they are not exquisite when you look closely.
It is the kind in the Beijing-style building in Chuzhou City. It is actually not worth much money to fool foreign customers.
Thinking about An Changsheng's dress, he looks like a young master, but it is not luxurious.
Moreover, An Changsheng's new clothes are all very detailed, there are only a few sets of them in a season, and the rest are all half-new and not old.
An Changsheng is also the eldest son and grandson of the An family. It is the first junior male of the two families.
The family of Yu and An seems to be thinner than expected.
Before, Huo Bao thought that the two families had been born into gangsters and their families must have been very rich, but now it seems that they are not bad.
Not only did Huo Bao pay attention to these things, but Monk Zhiran also saw them.
Since he was in charge of the Supervision Department and supervising the Chuzhou Army, he naturally did not fall into the navy and the two families.
Because the two families were born into bandits, Monk Zhiran had some prejudice against them.
But in fact, after more than half a year, the Yu and An families did not make any mistakes in the Supervision Department.
On the contrary, the Supervision Department found some old stories about the two families of Yu and An.
That is, although the Yu and An families had become local military officers before, they acted kindly. Not only did they not drink blood from soldiers, but they were also very kind to wait for the soldiers under their command.
The navy usually practices that come from the wind and go from the water, and the water is ruthless, and it is also common for soldiers to lose their troops.
What's more, there were other lake bandits in Chaohu, besides Yu, An and Sheng families. After the three families joined the court, they began to suppress the bandits, which also lost a lot of people.
If the Chaohu Navy loses its soldiers, the Chaohu Navy will arrange corresponding pensions and take care of the family members and orphans.
Marshal Yu and An Yong's father-in-law and son-in-law were both outstanding people. Whether they were deliberately winning people's hearts or being kind by nature, they spent a lot of money on this one.
Since a few years ago, the imperial court has detained local military pay, and the Chaohu Navy is no exception.
Although the two families of Yu and An did not provide military salaries for the court, they would not have enough money to replenish military food and grass.
Navy is different from infantrymen.
It’s nothing if infantrymen don’t change their arms, they can fight with old weapons.
The water soldiers did not repair the warships, but they did not even send troops.
In this way, another large sum of money was not enough, and the An family paid for it.
Huo Bao ate crab roe tofu and was thinking about Chaohu.
This is a treasure pot, and it is too wasteful to only use water sources for military farming.
After the reception banquet was finished, Huo Bao found General Yu San.
" Raise lotus root?"
General Yu San couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "There were already people who raised them. There are dozens of acres of lotus fields on Xiaoshan Island. If Master Bao likes to eat them, he will ask them to send two boats to Jinling in autumn..."
You rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and water to eat the water.
Before Chaohu Water Village, there were more than 20,000 people, so they could not rely solely on purchasing food, clothing and expenses. In order to save money, they also tried to be self-sufficient.
Huo Bao shook his head and said, "It's not that I want to eat. It can be used to provide military supplies like the military farms by Chaohu Lake, which can be considered as finding work for the navy's family..."
General Yu San's eyes lit up.
The military procurement of Chuzhou Army is different from other places.
Other places want to take the banner of military supplies, get things at a low price or useless.
Chuzhou Jun only uses market prices, at most it takes 80% to 90% of the market price, which is considered a wholesale price.
Lotus lotus is not a valuable item, but it cannot stand its yield.
