When Shao Xun received the news, he had not yet returned to Liang County, but temporarily transferred to the newly completed Tanshan dock.
This is the third dock built in the past few years and the last one in the short term.
The first thing he did was take stock.
After two years of careful management, Yunzhong Sanwu conducted its first two-year, three-cropping trial sowing this year.
The overwintering wheat planted after last year's autumn harvest will be harvested in May.
The yield per mu can only be said to be okay, almost the same as millet.
Yunzhongwu harvested more than 112,000 dendrobium, Jinmenwu harvested more than 64,000 dendrobium, and Tanshanwu harvested more than 65,000 dendrobium.
After the summer harvest, we planted a season of miscellaneous grains and harvested before winter. A total of just over 150,000 dendrobium was harvested in the three places.
The number of large and small livestock in the three docks increased to 733.
The above are the industries of Yiyang County.
In Yangzhai County, Shaoxun also has Yushanwu. In order to conserve the soil, they only planted one season of millet this year, harvesting 110,000 dendrobium, and 892 livestock, large and small.
Because the two-year and three-crop systems are implemented at different times among the three manors in Luoyang, Jinguyuan harvested the most grain this year, about 92,000 dendrobium. The three manors harvested a total of 158,000 dendrobium of millet, wheat, grains and beans, and 735 livestock.
In Liang County, there is Green Willow Garden. This year, they only harvested 18,000 dendrobium grains and purchased more than 100 livestock.
Guang Chengze's data has not yet been compiled, but Shao Xun is not very hopeful.
In general, the people under his rule were distributed in four counties, with a total of more than 42,000 people. The longest ruled for five years, the shortest ruled for one year, and most of them ruled for about three years. Six months were consumed throughout the year.
With more than 100,000 hu of grain, there was very little surplus.
Well, actually there is no surplus.
The Silver Spear Army distributed more than 130,000 hu of grain in one year and needed more than 10,000 bolts of silk.
Coupled with the pensions for soldiers who died in battle and the one-year expenses promised to support the troops, the food stolen from Guanzhong last year was almost used up.
The only income from the grain storage came from horse sales. A total of 1,000 horses were sold to the Nanyang Le family, the Xinye Yu family, and the Yingchuan Chen family, with a total income of 210,000 dendrobium of grain. In addition to some high-priced grain purchased with money, the total was about three
One hundred thousand dendrobium is stored in Liang County, which is the first time in many years that there is a grain reserve.
Of the horses that were snatched back, excluding those lost during this expedition and some that died of illness, there are still more than 6,300 horses left.
Next year we will continue to sell part of it and exchange it for grain reserves to avoid further depreciation.
After finishing the account, Shao Xun nodded slightly.
He had known that his finances were no longer so tight, but it was not until he read the account books that he finally felt relieved.
"Mao Er, Yunzhong Sanwu is like this. Next year, Tanshan and Kinmen No. 2 will be able to gather some refugees, but Yunzhongwu will not let anyone enter." Shao Xun asked people to collect the bamboo slips and wooden slips one by one and carry them away.
Then he said: "Newcomers will lose money within a few years. Although it will be beneficial in the long run, Master Shao cannot convert so much food. In this day and age, gold and silverware, money, silk and even weapons and armor may not necessarily be exchangeable.
If you come to buy food, even if you can buy it, you will still be at a huge loss."
"Master Shao, you have raised the price of grain in Luoyang, and many people are scolding you." After Mao Er fully took charge of the three Wubao, his demeanor changed, and he actually dared to joke with Shao Xun.
Shao Xun laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "You can scold me, Master Shao doesn't care. Next year Master Shao will focus on Guangchengze, and Luyang County will also take care of it. Even though there are 300,000 dendrobium grains in stock, that move
No."
"Will there be a war next year?" Mao Er thought of something keenly and asked.
"You are as thoughtful as a woman." Shao Xun smiled and said, "I can't hide anything from you."
Shao Xun still remembers that Mao Er was injured in his ankle more than five years ago, and he cried at that time.
Such a delicate student, who has a talent for studying and doing management, should follow this path from now on - among the 150 people in the first phase of Donghai, he is the most outstanding, and Mao Er is considered one of the best.
"If there is a war, we really need to plan carefully." Mao Er said: "Master Shao has captured 8,000 people this year, and we need food to feed them."
"There are not eight thousand." Shao Xun said: "It's just more than seven thousand. The rest are craftsmen, who were assigned to Zhuwubao and Guangchengze for resettlement. The Jisang bandits were stationed in Guangchengze and died in the battle.
The men earned pensions. Wang Chan, Hao Chang and other more than 3,000 soldiers from Hebei were also stationed in Guangchengze and Luyang, half working in the fields and half training."
At first glance, the arrangements for the soldiers in Hebei look a bit like black-hearted capitalists. But if they don't surrender, they can't escape death. Now they earn part of the rations for themselves, and Shao Xun will subsidize part of the food for training. When the situation changes,
They can also take all the hardships and enjoy the rewards.
In Shao Xun's mind, the troops of the Shao's Military and Political Group are actually divided into three levels.
The Silver Spear Army is the well-deserved core, with currently 3,600 people in six buildings. After the expedition, some casualties were suffered, including some student soldiers and officers. The association has recruited new people and transferred some student soldiers to serve as officers to improve the organization.
By February next year, there will be a new batch of students who have completed two years of military training and reached the age limit. The sixth building of the Silver Spear Army will be expanded to the sixth and seventh buildings on the spot, and an eighth building will be formed - this is the officer training unit.
The 1,200 people Wu Qian recruited were to prepare for the expansion of the army.
The Long Sword Army currently has three defenses: Shiqiao, Yongxing, and Nanshan. In the past year, some veterans of the Forbidden Army have been willing to move their families south, and two new defenses will be established after the Chinese New Year. This will also be one of the focuses of next year's work.
To put it simply, the Long Sword Army (Fu soldiers) mostly recruits "finished products", that is, veterans with solid foundation and combat experience.
As far as the Silver Spear Army is concerned, it has almost become a tradition to recruit new recruits with a blank sheet of paper and train them on their own without a single veteran.
This is the biggest difference between the two.
The Yamen Army is considered a third-class army with poor equipment. More than 5,000 people can support more than 400 pieces of iron armor.
Shao Xun planned to observe again and make sure that this unit would not cause chaos under an imperial decree, then he would improve their equipment and improve their combat effectiveness.
As for people like Wang Chan, Hao Chang, Lou Quan, Lou Bao and even Chen Jin, they are actually considered "external miscellaneous names". But since they came early, they may not have no chance of becoming direct descendants in the future.
And since they are a miscellaneous brand, the treatment is of course not good. It is enough to make a living. If they are treated according to the Silver Spear Army, Shao Xun will go bankrupt. If they are converted into a government soldier, they will not have so many land and troops for them.
Army building must still be done step by step.
However, it is still very satisfying to watch your strength slowly increase and become stronger little by little.
Shao Xun likes this feeling.
****
Well, his excitement didn't last long. When he received Wu Qian's report, his mood suddenly turned bad.
"Which grandson is harming me?" This was his first doubt.
The primary suspects are some unknown aides in the Yue government.
He didn't even know where the grudge against those people came from.
Sima Yue didn't say anything about what he wanted to do to me, but you guys just like to speculate and don't know what to say.
Fan Long, the great great king of Han Dynasty, is slightly less suspected.
After all, Liu Yuan seems to be okay with him? But he can't rule it out.
The former Liu Yuan was one person, and the Liu Yuan who became the Queen of Han was another person.
It is possible for people to be alienated by environment and power - no, it is not possible, but inevitable.
In short, these are probably the only ones.
Others won't mess with me...right?
Shao Xun turned around and took a look, then remembered that Lu Zhi had gone to Luyang, and there was only Mao Er here in Tanshan Wu.
"Mao Er, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Shao Xun decided to test him and asked.
"Master Shao, it's better to ask the Prime Minister about this matter," Mao Er replied.
"Don't hide, Master Shao wants to listen to your opinion."
"Why don't you just defend yourself?"
"You..." Shao Xun was a little disappointed.
Mao Er's arithmetic is good, his literary talent is also good, and although his management level is average, it is still above the qualified level. Unfortunately, he still has the straight-line thinking of a man in science and engineering.
There is still a lot of room for growth.
"When you write a letter to defend yourself, you have a guilty conscience and have fallen into a lower position." Shao Xun said, "Understandable?"
"Then what should we do?" Mao Er scratched his head and said, "Then make a list, find someone to compile more children's songs, and give everyone a copy to confuse the public."
"It's not very appropriate." Shao Xun shook his head and said, "You'd better put these three forts in order. These are the homes of many silver-gun soldiers, so they shouldn't be ignored."
"No." Mao Er's face straightened and he responded in a deep voice.
He could see that Master Shao was not very satisfied with his answer.
But I really don’t know much about these things, so it’s more important to do my job well.
If your ability is limited, diligence can make up for your weakness.
He is not as broad-minded as those from aristocratic families. He is a child of a military family.
There are more than twenty people under him, most of them are from Donghai and Luoyang. They either grew up in military families like him, or they are war orphans. They all have shortcomings of one kind or another, but they can still learn and grow.
Master Shao asked these students, who were not suitable for the battlefield, to manage the general affairs of Yunzhong, Kinmen, and Tanshan Sanwu. This was actually cultivating their abilities.
Don't let Master Shao down.
On October 14, Shao Xun, who had finished building his sense of presence, planned to leave Tanshanwu and return to Liang County.
Regarding the prophecy, he planned to wait and see what happened.
Anyway, it will take some time for this kind of thing to ferment. When it finally reaches the ears of the emperor and the Taifu, it may have been around the Chinese New Year - if Sima Yue had not done this.
It's impossible for these two people to do anything to him based on just two nursery rhymes, but they are definitely vigilant.
Especially the emperor.
The relationship that used to be good may be lost now, but Shao Xun doesn't care anymore.
To put it bluntly, the person who can control Shao Xun the most now is not the emperor or Sima Yue, but Wang Yan.
But Wang Yan is the weakest among the three. He is Sima Yue's military advisor and political ally. He belongs to a semi-independent force in the Donghai King family.
He became a lieutenant in the Northern Army, so he must have some ideas about military power.
He needs partners.
Therefore, it should not be a big problem in the short term.
As for the long term - well, in the long term, both the Emperor, Sima Yue and Wang Yan will need my cooperation more urgently.
The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish. The more chaotic the world, the more valuable the warriors are. Just wait and see, Wang Mi will teach everyone a lesson.
