Chapter 229 The capital changes

When you open lotus fields in Chaohu, even if you buy military supplies, you can actually get a lot of money.

General Yu San was happy because he wanted to make a living for his family.

There is no reason why Chaohu navy is united in one's mind.

Marshal Yu taught by example. No matter how many sons of the Yu family or An Yong, the son-in-law, could be said to be "loved soldiers like sons."

This is a good thing and a hidden danger for the Chuzhou army.

The good thing is that there is no internal friction among the navy, and the navy is working together and has strong combat power.

The hidden danger is that power is too concentrated. If there is a change in Yu and An, the Chuzhou army will have shortcomings.

The Chuzhou Army previously captured the Taihu Navy, which was also preparing for the future division of the navy.

Huo Bao talked about lotus fields, but in fact he thought of artificial pearl raising. Later generations not only Taihu Lake, but also heard about Chaohu Lake.

Artificial beads have little technical content, but their profits are extremely generous.

But there is a cycle for bead cultivation, which takes at least four or five years from the beginning to the final preparation to the final picking of beads.

In this way, it is just right to avoid the most chaotic years.

At present, natural disasters in various places are linked to wars. Even if pearls are raised, the market is limited.

But when the world is finally settled, this artificial pearl raising is a source of wealth.

Huo Bao was very moved when thinking of the freshwater beads.

The Lingshui gold mine has dried up, and the Chuzhou army is in need of open source.

Such a bead field is like a gold or silver mine.

only……

Huo Bao glanced at General Yu San. The person who could make decisions about such a big thing was fine. He turned around and told his father to let him arrange it.

The Taiwei Mansion of Chaohu Zhuchang can cooperate with the Yu and An families, and the Taiwei Mansion of the Zhuchang on the beach can be distributed to other senior leaders of the Chuzhou Army.

If everyone has enough money, if someone dares to make money, there is no need to blame the military law for being ruthless.

After leaving Chaohu Water Village, everyone went to Luzhou Prefecture City.

I also looked at military farming when I was in Hezhou before, but there was no comparison with the number of military farming farming in Luzhou.

The group stayed in Luzhou Prefecture City to estimate the total number of summer and autumn grains based on the number of military farms in Luzhou.

Now it seems that Chuzhou has a severe drought and Hezhou has a mild drought, which is even here in Luzhou, and the military farms far away from the lake are not optimistic.

Although the Chuzhou Army now produces grain not only in Luzhou, it is much more convenient to transport grain from Luzhou to Chuzhou than Suzhou and Songjiang to transport grain north.

After a day, the general amount of summer and autumn grains was calculated, and the situation was not optimistic.

Because the military farms in Luzhou have military rations, they have to transport grain to Jinling, and the remaining grain is limited.

Since there is a severe drought in the Huanghuai River, the drought will not fall into Luzhou. However, Luzhou has a large proportion of paddy fields and a crisscrossing waterways, which can alleviate the drought, but it is not a good harvest.

"If you want to rely on the supply of Luzhou, and to make up for the food shortages of Huainan Road, it is probably not enough..."

Song Lin frowned.

Shuzhou and Shouzhou are both half a mountain and half a water, and the situation should be similar to that of Hezhou. There are one and two counties that need relief.

The Huanghuai River has a severe drought, so naturally there is no need to pay attention to the Baishan side of Taizhou. Can the Bozhou Army ignore it completely?

After all, he is still an ally, and even if there is a rift, he is more reliable than other allies.

Thinking of this, Song Lin glanced at Huo Bao.

With Huo Wu's nature, even if he is for his son, he will not refuse the Bozhou army's loan of grain.

The Chuzhou Army has come to this day and seems to be based in Jiangnan and has achieved success, but it is a rebellious transaction. Who knows what will happen in the future?

Selling the Bozhou army well is the way Huo Wu left for his son.

Huo Bao also thought about the three-year drought. I wonder what happened in Hebei?

I remember hearing a saying in my previous life that it was "The land of Hebei has been drought for nine years."

However, Hebei is next to the capital, and even if it is a severe drought, local officials dare not ignore it.

If Hebei refugees enter Beijing and the capital will be in chaos, then Daning's defeat will accelerate.

He remembered the capital from the drought, but the news from the Taiwei Mansion of Jinling really got the news of the capital.

*

Taiwei's Mansion, tea room.

Deng Jian, the leader of the village, Master Lin, and Du Laoba were all present. Huo Wu held a letter and his eyes were lit: "Shandong soldiers have entered Beijing on May 20th!"

"Is the Jin family rebelled?"

The master of the village brought interesting things.

Deng Jian snorted: "It should have been like this!"

As the most noble nobleman of Daning, the Duke of Jin held 40% of the soldiers and horses of Daning in his hand.

The Shandong soldiers, Jiangxi soldiers and Shanxi soldiers who suppressed bandits this year were all in the hands of the Jin family.

Whether it was the "recovery" of Xuzhou or the "recovery" of Hangzhou, the Jin family army won easily. As a result, the emperor used small tricks, either demoted or transferred, which made both places half the result with twice the effort.

In February, when he attacked Huai'an, the emperor even made a fool of himself and asked someone to poison the commander of the rebels.

Although the emperor later pushed the "scapegoat" out, the Jin family was not a fool.

This repeatedly reduced the strength of the Jin family. If the Jin family didn't think of a solution, they would die in a place of death.

Everyone had thought before that the Jin family should move, but they didn't expect that the move was so fast.

"Is it the queen now in the court?"

Master Lin guessed.

If the Jin family really wanted to change their dynasties, news would have been heard long ago.

Daning has 10 troops, the Jin family holds 40% of the troops, the other nobles hold 30% of the troops, and the royal princes hold 30% of the troops.

It is one thing for the Jin family army to "support" the queen when they enter Beijing. The nobles and royal families may not be moved. If they "rebelled", they will inevitably be attacked by groups.

Huo Wu nodded and said, "The emperor is 'ill', the prince is 'shelping', and the queen is in charge!"

Master Lin touched his beard, but his face was heavy.

Huo Wu was puzzled in his heart: "Sir, don't you be optimistic about the Jin family?"

Master Lin shook his head and said, "The Jin family has no way out when they have come to this point. If it is not as expected, there will be news that the prince will be infected with the disease soon..."

Huo Wu frowned: "The Jin family wants to support the fourth prince to the throne?"

The fourth son of the emperor is now born, and his eldest son died young. The second son (the crown prince) and the third son are the same mother as the imperial concubine. The fourth son is the son of the palace man and is raised in the name of the queen.

In recent years, there have been many disputes between the emperor and the empress for the appointment of the crown prince and they have been stalemate.

In the end, the emperor acted arbitrarily and made the second prince the crown prince.

If the Jin family wants to depose the crown prince in private, it is naturally impossible to establish the third prince, the same mother and brother of the crown prince, and the only one who rises to the throne will be the fourth prince who is still old.

The young lord's arrival in the dynasty was not a good thing for Daning, but it was not good news for the Chuzhou army in various places.

In that case, the next step for the Jin family to be authoritarian should be to "suppress bandits".

Master Lin’s expression was complicated: “It’s probably like this…”

The current Emperor Daning was the young lord who ascended the throne. He was a puppet for several years in his early years. He was extremely paranoid after taking power.

He married the daughter of the Duke of Jin as his queen, received support from the Jin family, cleaned up the previous ministers and replaced most of the court officials.

Master Lin is the top scholar, and Lin Qingwen is not as good as his father, so he is also the Sandingjia.

Both father and son were on duty in the Hanlin Academy. Master Lin was even called the imperial teacher and personally taught the emperor for three years.

Lin Qingwen, the legitimate senior brother, was also appointed as the bachelor's degree.

The Lin family father and son are children of Confucianism. Those who work in elementary schools are "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism", and are also sincere to the little emperor.

However, among the first people the emperor took charge of the rule, the Lin family father and son were the first to deal with. Just because Master Lin was the Minister of Residents in the same year, Lin Qingwen, the three-legged armor, was personally appointed by the Minister of Residents.

The leader of the village narrowed his eyes and said, "Then we can't wait... I remember the emperor's frequent exchanges a few years ago, and it seems that several royal princes of the clans have been involved..."

Speaking of the past thirty years, the court has been in a state of peace, and several young emperors have died one after another.

Only one of them survived until the wedding, and the remaining few died.

Since he was a young man and had no children, the successor emperor was chosen by several princes of the royal family.

To provoke a conflict between the Jin family and the royal prince, the easiest way is to directly kill several princes.

If the emperor cuts off his heirs and wants to choose his heirs, then the conflict will come?

The Jin family has no way out, so they must completely hold the future little emperor in their hands.

The royal prince is not stupid either. How could he not fight for his descendants if he has the opportunity to be the throne of emperor?
