Ask The Dao

Chapter 192: territory

Yunzhong four years, the fifth day of the first month.

Although the granting ceremony was over, it was a great effort to abolish the shogunate to determine the fiefs one by one and transfer the work.

Fortunately, by the time of the fifth day, everything was ready.

Yu Jingbai called an ox cart and patrolled the future territory with Xiao Jingfeng.

"You and I are both doctors, leading one township as a food town. You are Donglin Township and I am Jinsha Township... There are 16 villages in total, 1,600 households, and more than 30,000 mu of arable land. It’s really good for the lord. Big handwriting!" Xiao Jingfeng said emotionally.

The most important thing is to connect the two rural areas directly together, and the strength will be doubled. It is really courageous.

"I have seen the land. Although it is newly opened, if heavy fertilizer is used, rice and wheat can be planted in a year... And my Donglin Township, because it is close to the sea, there is a natural haven, which may be possible in the future. Build a small dock."

Yu Jingbai smiled and said, obviously like it very much.

At this time, I listened to the person driving the car in front, and the old man Tian Tian, ​​who was also the shogunate who was in charge of the shogunate, said: "Two doctors, Zhuangzi of Donglin Township is here!"

"Oh!?"

When Yu Jingbai and Xiao Jingfeng got out of the bullock cart, they saw a very large area of ​​Zhuangzi.

This is in every township. As the homeowner’s government, there are more than 20 houses. A circle of big trees is planted outside. In the future, it may grow into a fence or cut logs to build fences.

The houses inside are made of fired stone bricks and stones, and there is an arrow tower.

This is a defensive building in the manor. You can shoot at foreign enemies or wild beasts from a high level. If you wait until the tree wall grows up, you can defend it with elite archers, which can block a hundred soldiers.

At the same time, it is also like a castle, declaring the sovereignty of the monarch.

‘It’s just... why is it built like this? "Yu Jingbai looked at this formation, and she was stunned: "On the island in the cloud, there is no foreign enemy. Is it to prevent civil chaos?" ’

This is really very possible, but at this moment, he is silent and keep watching.

Within this manor, there are also mills, wine cellars, vinegar rooms, oil presses, as well as specially circled places to raise chickens, ducks and pigs.

Outside Zhuangzi, there are even acres of arable land, with vegetable fields, grain fields, and fallow land specially designated.

From a distance, there is a hill, only fifty meters high. It is not dangerous, but there is a **** with fruit trees and some tea trees.

If it is on the coast at the edge of the territory, it is even possible to open up some salt drying grounds, or directly boil sea water to make salt.

Generally speaking, it is a typical feudal manor. Seven things for the people to open the door, firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar tea, are generally satisfied.

The people work at sunrise and rest at sunset, protected by walled arrow towers, without fear of beasts and bandits. Why is Dili to me?

"This is really...too complete! Too consuming! Is it in every town?"

Yu Jingbai looked over one by one, secretly assessing the financial and manpower and material resources needed, and couldn't help asking.

"Every township doctor has it! As for the villagers, they have to be lowered by one level, but there is also a house!"

Old Man Tian bowed and said.

"No wonder the lord wants to rob Izumo, otherwise, how can it be built?!"

Xiao Jingfeng murmured.

This sentence is a bit disrespectful, but Old Man Tian just didn't hear it: "Next, please let me transfer the national registration!"

This is Donglin Township. Naturally, it was first delivered to Jingbai. There are 800 households in total, roughly 2,000 people.

"Don't worry about other villages. The local township government is in Donglin Village. The doctor can see you first!"

At the moment, the old man Yu Tian came to a threshing ground, two or three hundred people in ragged clothes, their eyes were dull, or with curiosity and hatred, looking at Yu Jingbai on the stage.

"This is the local prince, doctor Yu, you will be your master in the future!"

Old Man Tian screamed loudly: "Isn't it polite?"

Because most of them are from Izumo, he also speaks Izumo.

There were a few people taking the lead, and seeing the overseer next to him showing bad intentions, after raising the whip, the hundreds of people slowly knelt down, understanding that this was the powerful name that ruled them.

The old man Tian turned around and said to Jing Bai: "According to the system, one village has one hundred households and two thousand acres of land. The life and death of these one hundred households are all in the hands of the doctor, but the lord said that it is best to put one thousand acres of land. Entrusted to them, so that those who have permanent property have the perseverance, of course... it's just a suggestion, even if the doctor demotes all of them to slaves, it is a matter of one sentence."

"And in every village of 10,000 mu of land, at least 5,000 mu of woodland must be planted with some fast-growing wood. Although it cannot be used to build houses and ships, it can be used to burn fires and take turns to rest axe to ensure the endless supply! "

After reading the book, Old Man Tian leaned forward, waiting for Yu Jing to ask questions.

"Well, these are the words of the old man, I will naturally not be ignorant of kindness!" Yu Jingbai nodded and looked at the leader below: "It's just... why are they doing this?"

"This one……"

Old man Tian smiled embarrassedly: "Before the island was purchased by immigrants, most of these immigrants were refugees and mountain people. They were willing to do everything in order to survive. After several shocks and rewards, they have gradually naturalized, but only three in the cloud. In 1 year, in order to reclaim the whole island, the lord swept the clouds, so... the quality of immigrants is inevitably uneven. Nowadays, most of the leaders of each family are mature and 9 students! Use 10% of the immigrants who have been naturalized. Take the lead or supervise, the other ninety cities are like this..."

"I understand……"

Looking at the hidden resentment below, Yu Jingbai murmured, finally understanding why the manor should attach so much importance to defense.

Because Duan Yu gave them these lords, most of them were slaves!

A carelessness, riots and even rebellion are possible, of course, they need to be protected by walls and arrow towers.

There is no alternative.

Originally, Yunzhong Island had only 30,000 people, but after one year, ten townships and 8,000 households were built. This is another 30,000 people, which has doubled! The good and the bad are uneven, and it is inevitable that the wild has not gone.

The specific generalization is that the land is built too quickly and drastically, and some people's minds have not kept up.

But then, it's the lords' own business.

Both Yu Jingbai and Xiao Jingfeng were masters with no leakage of Taoism, and their martial arts were also very powerful. It was more than enough to suppress these hundreds of serfs.

As for the other villagers, this is even more true.

Duan Yu promised that the territory, the house, and the people... have been done one by one, and since the power has been divided, the obligations will of course also be transferred.

Regardless of the grievances and grievances that occurred during this suppression, vassals at all levels suffered the most, and Duan Yu only had to bear the nominal part.

"In addition, the autumn harvest has already been stored in the warehouse, and there are three thousand five hundred shi of grain, which can last until the next harvest!" Old Man Tian handed in several warehouse ledgers.

As for food, it is mostly beans and potatoes, and it is really hard to bear eating every day.

"What about taxes?"

Yu Jingbai thought for a while and asked.

"The taxes are all determined by the vassals, and there is no need to turn them in. The obligation has already been set on the iron scroll of the elixir, which is roughly to provide samurai and servant soldiers for two months of service every year."

Old Man Tian said calmly.

"If there are one samurai or sorcerer in every village, we can't make up many people... What if we replace them with gold, silver or food?"

Xiao Jingfeng thought about it, and she asked in a deep voice that there seemed to be subtle light in her eyes.

"According to the monarch system, this figure is roughly 30% of the total income of Feng Nian...Of course, this is also specifically stated on the iron scroll because of the preferential treatment of the first batch of courtiers!"

Old Man Tian said.

It is indeed preferential treatment, otherwise, Duan Yu would definitely have to harvest more than 50%, forcing every territory to train some extraordinary people to cope with military service.

"In other words, if we pay 30% of the tax to the lord every year, we will be in charge of the two villages? There is no need to serve the lord anymore...Hiding here as the emperor of the land, can we inherit it from hereditary?"

Xiao Jingfeng continued to ask.

"Exactly!" Old Tian said without hesitation.

"Huh..." Xiao Jingfeng let out a long breath: "The lord...really benevolent and righteous!"

In his and Yu Jingbai's eyes, this is definitely a preferential treatment. Based on these two townships, it is enough to open a branch in Baihao Mountain and pass on the Taoism.

As for the people who are not convinced?

Ha ha... the scholar-bureaucrats with extraordinary powers, if they can't suppress this, they will be in vain.

In a word, people's hearts are like iron, and official law is like furnace! You have to fight it!

Even if you resist, what's so scary? Direct iron-blood suppression is that no one can gossip even if the punishment is severe.

Of course, we must pay attention to one point, and not to lose too much. After all, every leader at this time has become the private property of the scholar-bureaucrat.

Afterwards, Xiao Jingfeng went to his Jinsha Township~www.wuxiaspot.com~ and found that the situation was similar to Donglin Township, and could not help but make a certain determination.

...

late at night.

Inside the villager’s manor.

"There is a lot to do! There is a lot to do!"

Xiao Jingfeng turned around a few times, almost shining light in her eyes.

"I know this naturally, but I am not going to resign from the post of worshipping wine in the township school. If so, my love will really be exhausted..."

Yu Jingbai played with a strand of hair and said softly.

Xiao Jingfeng was startled, and immediately said: "It's true... the division helped the lord several times, and the lord repayed the two townships. All kindness was repaid... after all, it was just a matter of transferring subordinates and providing information."

In fact, he was vaguely aware that Duan Yu's intention to reclaim Yunzhong Island was just to leave a way for his subordinates, so the reward was extremely generous.

And this lord is unfathomable, and Qi Yun can even assist in cultivation, which cannot be measured by common sense.

"Then next...what should we do? I don't know how to manage such a large territory..." Yu Jingbai said with a headache.

"First of all, it is natural to establish force deterrence. We can't just do things for the two of us. Fortunately, there are 10% of the naturalized people. They can first grant land to win, and then select our private soldiers!"

Xiao Jingfeng paced a few times: "Besides, in the name of a maidservant, she screened the children in the territory, and found some Taoists with no bad aptitude to teach them. This also brought their families together. "

"Finally..." He stood still suddenly and made up his mind: "I want a letter to recruit some people from Qing Dynasty!"

Xiao Jingfeng still had some potential forces in Baihao Mountain and Qing Dynasty. At this time, in order to build his own territory, he did not hesitate to take it out.

After all, this is the foundation for thousands of years!
