Chapter 1127 Visiting relatives (Part 1)
A row of ten ships were parked in Huihu on the other side of Caizhou Island.
Huihu is the land of the Yang family of the Jingzhou gentry, divided into upper and lower water.
His family business was severely damaged during the siege. Ding Zhuang was either expropriated or fled, and his house was even demolished and built a military camp.
After the war, because of Yang Qin's contribution to surrender, Shao Xun allocated a piece of land in Shicheng County, Jingling. Although it was a bit deserted and needed to be cleaned up, he returned the requisitioned Ding Zhuang, and appointed Yang Qin as the prefect of Chen County and his younger brother Yang You as the chief clerk of the Jiangling Shogunate.
However, the fields and houses that were up and down were tacitly taken away, along with lakes and forests.
This month, the court established Longxiang Mansion in Huihu here, which almost included all the land of the Yang family and the land of two small local tyrants nearby. Weihuihu and a small piece of land nearby were sold out. As a Xiangyang market, the transportation was too convenient.
Hu Longxiang Prefecture is the fourth military prefecture in the territory of Jingzhou. In addition to the long-established Longxiang Prefecture of Xianshan and Zhongwu Longxiang Prefecture (Yiyang County), Lixiang Longxiang Prefecture was also established in Sui County last month.
The newly established 2,400 soldiers were mainly from the Imperial Army and the children of the Chenliu Army. A few tribal warriors with skilled bows and horses were recruited in Anding, Lueyang, Nan'an and other counties in Guanzhong.
In the north, Hengshan Longxiang Mansion is established in Yanmen County, Qiyi Longxiang Mansion is established in Dai County, and Banquan Longxiang Mansion is established in Guangning County.
The source of the 3,600 soldiers required is the children of the Zuo Feilong Guard soldiers, which is to help them solve the long-standing problems after they have too many children and extend the lifespan of the soldiers as much as possible.
From the location of the setting, it is not a good place. If these soldiers from the government go there to be farmers, they probably don’t want to, but if they are soldiers, they will be attractive all of a sudden.
They all grew up in the family of the military soldiers, so how could they not know the suffering of the army? There is no need to urge you to go directly. As for the environment, it is not insurmountable compared to the benefits of being a soldier.
After the establishment of these five Longxiang Mansions, the resettlement this year will be over. Because there is no money, only these 6,000 people can be resettled. If you want to set up a new one, you have to ask the rich for money, but considering that you have to ask for money from Chengguo to attack him, you should just forget it.
At this point, the total number of soldiers in the country has reached 90,000.
Of course, these 90,000 soldiers are divided into different levels in terms of financial and combat effectiveness, and it is impossible that they are all the same.
There are both heavy armored infantry and light infantry that have no money to buy iron armor;
There are both infantry that relies on horseback or even mules, and professional cavalry that mainly focuses on cavalry warfare.
Even the inside of the left and right cavalry guards are different.
Some people have a strong financial resources and find ways to buy iron armor and tall horses for themselves, and find someone to make thick and long horse lances. The iron used for the blade of the lance is several times the amount of iron used for the head of the spear. Can it be compared?
When someone mentioned your light and sneered, he said that it was used by my child. My horse spear was as thick as a small tree trunk. Can you move it?
In addition, there are also people in the left and right cavalry guards who are accustomed to riding and shooting, and like to use bows and arrows to kill enemies, or those who are born in Jie Hu use swords and shields, which are so different.
It looks very messy, but there is no way, this is the Mansion Army. All the training and equipment costs that the court should have been responsible for are reduced, and they rely on themselves to buy them. It is impossible to be messy and not messy. They can only train separately every year during collective exercises.
The ten ships Shao Xu saw at this time were coming from Nanyang, most of which were full of various daily necessities, and a few were filled with people.
There is nothing worth noting about in the materials, so people are more interesting, almost all of them are younger people.
Some are single, some are married, and some are already having children, but the children are not young and are still held in the arms of their mothers.
Looking at the outfits of the young soldiers, their luggage was very small and they had almost no money. It can be seen that they were so poor that they were jingling, or that their brothers had already got married, and their parents were not able to give too much money.
However, almost everyone has a piece of equipment, which is a rare scenery.
Most of them were wearing mulberry bows or swords and guns, while some of them were wearing deer leather armor. The emperor brought the soldiers who had entered the country to hunt deer last autumn and winter. The fur, animal tendons and fat obtained were rewarded to increase the income of the soldiers. It seemed that they were here.
In fact, although Xiangyang, Jiangxia and Nanjun are humid and hot, there are actually a large number of deer herds in the local area. Shao Xu only found out when he came here. He used to think that deer only grew in relatively cold places.
However, my father said that in the past, the Eastern Wu generals Wei Wen and Zhuge led tens of thousands of soldiers to Yizhou (Taiwan), and returned thousands of people. There were a large number of "sam deer" on the Yizhou Island, that is, wild deer living on the waterfront, which could be used to make boots, uniforms and leather armor.
He used to be skeptical, but now he completely believed it because he saw with his own eyes that there were already a wealthy family going south on Yunmengze hunting wild deer.
"If the residence is insufficient, lend the newly built shops in the market to the government soldiers for temporary residence, especially those with their wives and children." Shao Xu called Li Yong, the servant, and after the order was completed, he boarded a ship surrounded by guards and went to Caizhou Island on the other side.

"Sister, are you happy on the island?" Shao Xu looked at the old house of the Cai family while talking about the meme that was not many years away.
"When the house in Xiangyang City is repaired, you will move away." Fu Bao leaned on the couch, looked through the account book, and said casually, "This is not my home after all."
Shao Xu nodded and asked, "When will Sister go back to Xuchang?"
"I was going to leave, but now it's delayed." Fu Bao put down the account book and asked with a smile, "Third brother may introduce some skilled craftsmen to Sister?"
Shao Xu smiled helplessly and said, "Sister, all the craftsmen on my hands are from the Shaofu..."
"Sister Tang Muyi has some smart teenagers. Let them learn from the Shaofu craftsmen. How about?" Fu Bao sat up straight and said.
"Sister, be careful." Shao Xu said hurriedly.
Fu Bao is pregnant, and she has not left because of this. Huan Wen is worried, and her father told her not to bother with her. She will celebrate the New Year in Xiangyang this year.
"If you don't agree, sister will be unhappy." Fu Bao changed his miserable expression and said, "There will be a child in the mansion, which is a lot of money. You, as your uncle, cannot stand by and watch." Shao Xu was a little overwhelmed. My elder sister begged like this just because she was sure that he would not refuse.
After a moment, he said helplessly: "Okay."
Fu Bao immediately smiled and said, "These apprentices can help you, but they don't need wages. The young mansion makes money. Don't worry, my sister will give the craftsmen some money and will not let them teach you in vain." "Don't you can't sell the goods you have in your hands?" Shao Xu asked.
Fu Bao covered his mouth and laughed.
Shao Xu knew this and thought that he had to pay another portion of money to help his sister cook the beginning and end. Xun asked again: "What should the apprentice learn? Carpenter? Brickwork? Pen or ink?"
"Making paper." Fu Bao said: "I took a piece of land in Jingling County and planned to build a manor. In the future, I will make paper and weave paper."
"Where is Jingling?" Shao Xu said curiously. "It's near Yundu's ancient city." Fu Bao said.
Yundu Ancient City was the former Yundu County County.

After Emperor Hui of Jin, Xinyang County was established in the northern border of Yundu County, and the county seat was located in Yundu Ancient City. The southern border of Yundu County is still Yundu County, and the county seat has also moved.
When the Liang Dynasty arrived, Xinyang County had no people and merged with Yundu to govern Yundu County.
Yundu County, together with Shicheng County and Jingling County, is the three counties under Jingling County of the Liang Dynasty. "Why do you think of papermaking and weaving?" Shao Xu asked again. "There are too many people needed to open up the land." Fu Bao pointed to the account book and said, "It will take three or four years to maintain it before you can see the investment. A flood came, and the achievements of several years were destroyed. My family has few people and I can't stand such troubles."
It's not that Fu Bao cried poorly. She has a lot of money in cash, but the farmhouse household only has 300, and she is still far away in Xuchang. How many people can she use?
For land reclamation, the more people the better, because it involves large projects such as building dams and cofferdams. If there are fewer people, it is really impossible to do it. The 300 households in the village should rest as soon as possible.
But if you set up a workshop, you will need a lot less staff and you can see the money back as quickly as possible. For a little money fan like Fubao, it's really great. "Sister, you are so smart." Shao Xu sighed.
Fu Bao smiled like a fox and said, "Yuanzi came back from a letter half a month ago. He hunted and killed dozens of water bandits in Yangkou, including the wanted thieves in Xiangyang, Jingling and Jiangxia counties. Isn't this helping you? There are fewer water bandits in Jiangjiang, so merchants dare to do business. The Xiangyang market will officially open next year. You can leave a most conspicuous shop for Sister."
"Sister, you..." Shao Xu was speechless when he heard this.
"When I was young, I went to Linyuan to hunt, and I would give you two rabbits, otherwise you would be scolded by the grandfather..." Fu Bao said dissatisfied.
Shao Xu's face turned red and he wanted to say goodbye and leave. "The Shen family's mother will be here in a few days, right? My sister will take her to Caizhou for a tour and tell you some interesting things." Fu Bao threatened. "I promised you." Shao Xu immediately stood up, thought for a while, and said, "The city rents 300 yuan a month, and it must not be less."
This is his last stubbornness.
Fu Bao smiled and said, "Okay. Can Sister treat you badly?"
After saying that, he flipped over a pile of messy papers on the table of overturning the case, took out a piece of it, and said, "The letter I received this morning. Yuanzi met the Jin merchant ship from Baling in Huarong a few days ago, including the Shen family's children, and they will be back with the ship in a few days."
When Shao Xu heard this, he stopped and said, "Really?"
He is now responsible for the recruitment of the Shen family's children. If there is any result, it will be a considerable contribution.
"Sister can still lie to you?" Fu Bao gave him a blank look.
Shao Xu felt relieved, his face looked much better, and he smiled and said, "Huan Yuanzi is always outside. Whenever he goes to a place, someone invites him to have a banquet. Is sister so relieved?"
Fu Bao chuckled, pointed to the sheathed dagger in a corner of the table, and said, "The prince-in-law is not interested in other women."
Shao Xu really doesn't know what to say.
No wonder some people don’t want to Shang Princess. Of course, maybe it depends on people. Didn’t Wang Dun had dozens of concubines during the Jin Dynasty?
Even the family of Wang family in Langya, even the princess of the Tian family cannot say anything. As for Long Kang Huan, he probably didn't dare to do so unless Huan Yuanzi could become an important official in the palace or even a senior general in the government one day. It might be possible at that time, but Shao Xu doubted whether his sister would hold a knife to cut him.
"As soon as the Shen clan members arrived, my sister sent someone to tell me that I was in Huihu." Shao Xu bowed and said goodbye and left.
