Before leaving, many things need to be arranged, the first is the trip between Yelu Dashi and Di Zhi.

Li Xingzhou personally explained to the emperor that Yelu Dashi was fine, but now Di Zhi is the deputy envoy of Privy Councilor, and he must agree to the emperor before he can be transferred at will.

The second is how to take action after he arrives at Shuzhong to attract attention and hold the Wu family back.

Some of this is learned from history.

The most likely thing is that the local officials and the big tribes encountered when Yongzheng met, and the data on the statistical reports were completely faked. Some provinces even reported 80% of the farmland and blatantly fooled the court.

Regarding this, Li Xingzhou has two things to do. One is to let trusted local officials assist in this matter. The locals are most familiar with the local situation, who has more fertile land, where there is more fertile land, where there is less fertile land, and who is difficult to deal with.

The second is that there will inevitably be a rebound.

To be fair, although Li Xingzhou's policy is for profit for the people at the bottom, it is not fair. What is fairness? Is the average fair? Of course not. If a person who is lazy and lazy every day can earn equal income with a hardworking and self-controlled person, that is the biggest unfairness.

Judging from his experience, if a village moved from another place, everyone will start the same starting line and start to struggle at the same time. There will be a gap within one generation, and the gap after three generations is more likely to be in the sky and the underground.

Nothing else, excluding external factors, some people are lazy and difficult to change, and their self-control is extremely poor, while others are hardworking and have strong self-control. These gaps are not much in one or two years, and they accumulate in several generations, and there will be qualitative changes in ten, decades, and hundreds of years! A huge gap will be opened.

Those who are willing to do it? The hardworking and self-control will naturally be willing to use their surplus money to buy the land of lazy people who are unwilling to work?

Are they wrong? Of course not. They do not rob as hard as some big clans? They do not use their power as convenient as some official families colluded with officials and businessmen? Instead, they really rely on their own hard work and self-made things to build.

There are people like this everywhere, but this government order is a matter of time? People will also be "mand-killed"! Dissatisfied with certainty.

However, in such a vast area? It is unrealistic to identify it? It can only be done with one size fits all!

It is better to have short pain than long pain. It is precisely because the south has not yet fully developed at this time that we must pave the way early and lay a solid foundation when it is not so painful.

Li Xingzhou thought about it over and over again? Called Chanlin? He talked all night long and told him all his concerns without any concealment.

Compared with Di Zhi, Yan Shen, Wei Yubai and others, Shen Lin has a more literary temperament and experience in local governance. She is more like a Confucian general? She is like a local official.

It's just right for him to deal with these things.

"I'll give you the fourth battalion of troops. Do you have the main force in this matter? Let Fang Xin and Mingzhou Magistrate Wu Hui assist you.

Let the new army soldiers help with statistics, and have resistance? You can show punishment, but you have to take care of the rules yourself? Don’t stir up civil unrest? You can’t hinder the implementation of the new law.” Li Xingchu said? As he said that, he handed him the already written plan.

"Don't worry, your highness, I know this matter. I will take a careful account of what Your Highness said, but I also want to ask for a letter of approval." Shen Lin bowed.

"What is the correct letter?"

"Your Highness, I'm blunt, I think this matter is very likely to arouse some people's rush to jump over the wall! This is a must." Cheng Lin's expression became serious: "Your Highness understands this trick, because he wants to suppress the rich and benefit the people.

But Your Highness, in our Jiangzhou, we have joined our family in business and made a fortune. Our family has a lot of land, but we are incomparable to those big families with land and relationships.

The largest family in Jiangzhou area has seven houses and more than 100,000 mu of fertile land! More than 50 houses.

There are five or six hundred servants, waiters, relatives, friends and commissions who help his family work on weekdays, and these can be considered as their own family members.

In addition, there are many long-term workers and thugs, and a total of 10,000 or 20,000 people who can survive in their family."

Li Xingzhou frowned and was slightly surprised, "Is it so exaggerated?"

Chan Lin nodded surely and added a sentence in his heart, which may actually be even more exaggerated.

In this matter, Li Xingzhou was ignorant. For example, when Heshen, a famous Qing Dynasty, was confiscated, his property was confiscated, except for various gold, silver, treasures and real estate, there were about 800,000 acres of fertile land under his name!

Heshen is an extreme example, but most of the top landlords and wealthy families in various places had one or two of them that had annexed about 100,000 mu of land by the middle of the dynasty.

Even if an ordinary family counts too much, even if they are young and young, even if they work hard and work hard, the whole family will go out. With the ancient technological level, planting about fifteen acres is already doing their best.

So Shenlin said that 120,000 acres require 10,000 or 20,000 people to cultivate, which means that 10,000 or 20,000 people have to rely on the largest landlord family in Jiangzhou for a meal. In fact, he was afraid of scaring him and said he was conservative.

According to the actual situation, more than 30,000 people may have to rely on a top family to make a living.

At this time, we have to take action. What if those big tribes are desperate and mobilize the people?

Many people do not understand that this policy is to make the big clan unable to hold on to so much land and to spit it out and share it with them.

If those big clans were clever and guided a little, the people would probably think that it was the court, and Li Xingzhou wanted to destroy their jobs and prevent them from working.

At this time, there was no TV or media. Li Xingzhou was thousands of miles away and it was impossible for him to gain the right to speak before the local tribes.

When Chan Lin reminded him this, Li Xingzhou also understood that this matter might be more difficult than he thought and might cause bleeding.

These blood are different from the blood in the north. No matter how it is for others, for Jingguo, they are all the blood of justice!

And this time it is likely that the blood of innocent people is the blood of ignorance, and the blood of one's own people.

Li Xingzhou walked for a long time, finally exhaled a long sigh and gritted his teeth and said, "Go to a division! I will allow you to live and kill in Mingzhou. If there is any riot, it will be handled by the rebels!"

This was an important decision.

After hearing this, Chanlin bowed a long time, "Your Highness, I will fulfill my mission!"

............

The reason why Li Xingzhou dared to let the new army soldiers go is because the new army is not used in other troops. It offers both cultural courses, political courses, and trust training, emphasizing collective consciousness, and not deducting it like the imperial guards.

Therefore, the new army was strict in discipline and obeyed orders, and could still do statistics. It was also reflected in the Northern Expedition of the Jin Kingdom that although there were cases of greed for merit and progress in the early days, there was no such situation after the punishment.

After nearly a year of war, dozens of cases of illegal rape and plundering of the northern people occurred in the imperial guards, but the new army did not come out.

Therefore, Li Xingzhou dared to ask Gan Lin to lead his troops to help him do things. If the imperial guards were allowed to go, the soldiers would be illiterate and not be able to write, which would be a trivial matter. I was afraid that they would become bandits when they arrived at the place and would be a disaster.

Then, he made the matter into a detailed stamp and sent it to the emperor for approval. The result came down the next day, and both the three provinces and the emperor were allowed to go, and the results were soon obtained.

It is of great importance and the layout for the next few decades. If conditions permit, Li Xingzhou wants to go to Mingzhou in person, but he understands his mission. If he goes to Mingzhou, the Wu family will not be able to suppress it and the queen comes out to speak, then the matter in Mingzhou will be left to nothing.

So he had to go to Shuzhong and take advantage of his time in Shuzhong, and let the matter be settled by the Chanlin, Fang Xin and Wu Huisheng.

The New Army's dispatch of troops is not a joke. It is very disturbing and requires approval from the Privy Council and the Emperor.

However, Li Xingzhou and Chanlin also discussed the reason. For the outside world, it was to clear Haike to protect the country and protect the people. At this time, there was indeed Haike in the coastal estuary area, although it did not have much climate.

Use this reason to transfer a division of the New Army Navy out of the capital, then go south by sea, and say that you can rest and recuperate in coastal prefectures and counties, and then you can go to the land and turn into an army and enter Mingzhou.

More than 100,000 Jin troops are not opponents. As long as one new army division arrives in Mingzhou, the overall situation is decided.

The best result is that under the deterrence of the new army, the big tribes in various places dare not act and can only be defeated. If there are any dogs who are desperate, then ten thousand new troops will be enough to make no one get into trouble.

Before leaving, he called Chanlin again and Fang Xin to the mansion to hold a secret meeting, repeatedly explaining the matter and some measures.

At the same time, they repeatedly reminded them to work hard, after all, the two had no experience in cooperation before.

Both of them agreed.

...........

On the 21st day of the first lunar month, Li Xingzhou took the newly married Yelu Yali, and the official Qifang, accompanied by Wei Yubai and Yan Shen, five hundred New Army guards, ten maids and fifty people, including the chefs, the horse-driven horses, the horse-feeding horses, and the things-carrying things.

The entire team was close to 600 people. They set out from Kaiyuan, walked west, and then followed the Dajiang River Road westward.

At this time, the Yellow River did not divert several times seriously. Although it was not possible to make most of the navigation like the Yangtze River, it was much better than later generations.

Needless to say, the Yangtze River has many water networks in the Huaihe River and Yangtze River Basin, and the water transportation is developed. As long as the team reaches the riverside and cooperates with the royal ship, it will travel very quickly and save time and effort.

The day after Li Xingzhou set off, after the newlywed Di Zhi, Yelu Dashi, also wanted to follow Yang Wenguang, Zhe Weizhong and Wei Chaoren went north.

During this trip, he also brought the envoy of Xia Kingdom, Di Zhi, and Yelu Dashi was the envoy of Jing Kingdom. He brought two new troops and four cars of rare treasures.

In name, the escort of these treasures to the north and return to the tribute of Xia Kingdom is actually to explore the reality and to personally check the mountains, rivers and rivers of Xia Kingdom. The most important thing is to find out whether a section of the Yellow River in Xia Kingdom can be navigated now.

Li Xingzhou knew about the situation in later generations, but that was the result of the countless divergences of the Yellow River and the silt of silt for thousands of years after a thousand years.

Some materials from the previous dynasty also recorded the hydrological situation in the Hetao region, but that was also the data from more than two hundred years ago. What is the hydrological situation in the Xia Kingdom now? Can the new fleet sail to Xia Kingdom?

Unlike the river, the river has poor navigation after a thousand years. It is mainly due to soil erosion in the middle and upper flows and the siltation of sand, gravel and soil for thousands of years, causing the riverbed to continue to rise and divert the route for thousands of years. When the water is shallow, it will naturally not be able to pass the ship.

But these are not Li Xingzhou's affairs. Di Zhi and Yelu Dashi are both people with rich experience in wars. Especially Di Zhi, they have always fought water battles.

Their team quickly followed the river and started heading north on the ship from the royal palace.

If the Yellow River is the birthplace of Chinese civilization and the mother river, then the Yangtze River is the river with the highest economic value in the world.

It is gentler and more silent.

She can even be called the artery of the entire China, and the poem "I pass through Wu Gorge from Baxia and go down to Xiangyang to Luoyang." There is also "I leave Baidi among the colorful clouds in the morning, and Jiangling thousands of miles away in one day. The sound of apes on both sides cannot stop crying, and the light boat has passed ten thousand mountains."

And so on, they are all praising their unparalleled shipping value.

Even though they were going upstream, they were walking much faster than by land. By late January, they had already passed Jiangling and soon entered the territory under the jurisdiction of Chongqing in later generations.

Although Jiangling was prosperous, Li Xingzhou only stayed for a long time without getting off the boat. Local officials had already heard the wind and stopped by the river, hoping to see the famous Li Xingzhou.

If it is not enough, he will not give local officials the opportunity to be attentive. Although it is very pleasant, he has something urgent.

Nowadays, ships are coming and going on the river, and the prosperity of commerce has made the waterways busy.

Li Xingzhou and his party arrived in Shu very soon.

The surrounding mountains and rivers are also completely different from those in the north. The mountains and rivers are green, and there is a kind of vitality everywhere. This kind of vitality is difficult to see and appreciate in the areas north of the Qinling Mountains and Huai River.

The surrounding mountains are undulating, sometimes towering into the clouds, sometimes flat.

Such a sudden change in terrain and the mountains and water surrounding green all over the world made Yelu Yali, Pu Chaling and Wei Yubai, who grew up in the north, stunned.

I was surprised and moved along the way, and I couldn't help but say that I hadn't seen the country of Tianfu in Shu, but the mountains, rivers and waters alone were enough to be shocking.

Li Xingzhou and Yan Shen thought of something else. If you want to take Shu, there are usually only two paths that are most suitable for marching.

One is the waterway they are walking on, and the other is the area around Jianmen in the north.
