MTL - Fight the Giants-Chapter 874 Suggest

  Mu Yan agreed with what Huo Xi said. This matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration before it can be implemented.

  If the military fields of the guards in various places can achieve two seasons of grain production, and the yield per mu is still considerable, and the soldiers will be self-sufficient, this will be a matter of great merit.

   It's just that this matter still needs to be discussed with the Duke of the country and the commanders of the various guards before deciding.

  However, if you want to try planting winter wheat in autumn, you need to make some preparations now. At least the winter wheat seeds must be prepared first.

   "Can the winter wheat harvested this time be kept as seeds?"

  Huo Xi looked at him, "You want to buy seeds from me? Don't you worry that someone will say that you are doing public affairs for personal gain?"

   "I never cared." Mu Yan never cared about other people's gossip. But if he heard others talking about his Xi'er, he wouldn't listen to a word.

   "Wheat seeds are bought from anyone. You are still wheat seeds grown on the land of Yunnan. When you plant them on the land of Yunnan, you won't worry about acclimatization to the soil and water."

  Mu Yan thinks this is the best kind of wheat. Don't mind other people's irresponsible remarks.

"You don't have to be afraid of what other people say. I will explain it to you and let the head of the village choose carefully, and choose some full-fledged seeds to save. Except for some for Zhuangzi, the rest will be sold to you. But I don't have much, if If you want to promote trial planting in the guard, you have to tell me in advance, and I will ask Nanbei Merchant to prepare it for you from the Central Plains."

   "Okay, let someone prepare it."

  Huo Xi glanced at him, don't you need to discuss this with Duke Qian and the army?

   "I know the number. I can make decisions about some guards."

  Huo Xi persuaded him: "Even so, you are not in power yet, so don't overstep your power and do something. If you let the villain provoke you, the Duke may have a rift with you."

  Mu Yan kissed her, "Okay, my husband knows." Only his wife is always thinking of him, afraid that he will be hurt.

   "I sent people to send the dozens of good horses to Zhuangzi. There are a dozen or so excellent stallions. I ordered people to breed them to see if I can produce more good horses."

  Mu Yan and Huo Xi talked about the dozens of fine horses Alxa sold her.

   Originally, Ma Huoxi wanted to keep some of them for Mu Yan, and send some to the Central Plains for money. Later, a purchase contract was signed with Alxa, and all these dozens of horses were left behind.

  Mu Yan needs a lot of horses every year. If these horses outside the pass can be raised well in Zhuangzi and bred with good breeds, then they will not have to buy horses from foreigners every year in the future. You can also earn a lot by selling to the Central Plains.

  From last year to now, her golden camellia tea has grown very well, and the price is quite good when it is sold outside the customs. It has exchanged a lot of horses, cattle and sheep, and transported it to Jiangnan, the capital of the Central Plains, and other places, without worrying about selling it. Golden camellia tea is also favored by the literati in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is Huo Xi's another business that comes with money.

There is a lot of demand for horses in Jiangnan and the Central Plains. If the business with Alxa can be stabilized, plus the horses purchased by the caravan from other tribes, some stallions will be selected and placed in the village of Muyan in Yunnan. It is a good business if there is some output every year.

  The husband and wife stayed in Deyuan until the end of June. They saw that all the rice seedlings in the Zhuangzi had been planted, and the Zhuangzi under Mu Yan's name had also been fully arranged, ready to plant winter wheat in autumn. Things were arranged properly, and the husband and wife were ready to return to the city.

   Li Yi personally reported that there was movement over there.

   "Where is Mei Weiling?"

  Li nodded.

  Huo Xi also became interested, "Tell me about Li Yi!"

  Early when Jun Xiangjie started to lay out the layout, Mu Yan's hidden guards were staring at Mei Weiling.

  There is indeed such a person in Mei Weiling, and there is indeed a branch of the Menghua Mei family named Mei Weiling. Everything he said that day is consistent, and the household registration guides and various property deeds he produced are true and correct.

  But this "Meiweiling" is not that "Meiweiling".

  If Mu Yan hadn't given up staring at Jun Xiangjie, he would have suffered a heavy loss this time. Jun Xiangjie's scheme will succeed.

  Jun Xiangjie is really a smart person, and the strategies he came up with are linked together, without any loopholes.

  Go to Jiao Zan, and use Jiao Zan's manpower and influence in the government to make household registers and road guides that can no longer be authentic. Even the fake property contracts are stamped with the official seal.

  If you didn't keep an eye on people beforehand and take precautions, who would have noticed it?

  Things are true, I went to check, and even the people are true, and there is nowhere that does not match the situation I said. Jun Xiangjie used the North-South Merchant Store to investigate the various situations of the vendors, and made targeted preparations.

Using the real Mei Weiling to take a caravan outside the customs, people pretended to be him, and then took the real household registration and various industrial contracts to defraud shopkeeper Yu. Thanks to the trust, a large amount of goods were owed on credit from the North and South Merchant Bank.

   Not only Mei Weiling was arranged, but several people owed a total of one million taels of silver on credit from the North and South Merchant Bank for various goods.

   Now they have fled far away, scattered in various places.

   "Close the net as soon as they make a move." Mu Yan ordered lightly after listening.

"yes!"

  The husband and wife returned to the city.

  The next day, in the meeting hall, Mu Yan put forward a proposal to implement double-crop grain planting in the military fields of various guards, which was earth-shattering.

  The army field not only needs to pay the court taxes on time, but also supports the food and drink of 300,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of military dependents, which is related to the livelihood of nearly a million people.

Over the years, the imperial court has repeatedly owed food, and the officials of the guards, the officials of the prefectures and counties, and the officials and staff of the Mu Mansion, all of whom have tried every means to make the soldiers and their families who are owed the army noon can be repaid. full.

  Think of various ways, but they dare not make any reform measures for Juntian easily. Even the decision of the Weisuo to continue hoarding land was only brought up by Mu Yan after he arrived in Yunnan.

  The so-called doing more and making more mistakes is not bad. Whenever and wherever there are people who are lazy in politics, I am afraid that taking responsibility is the portrayal of most people. Moreover, with 300,000 soldiers and hundreds of thousands of military dependents involved, no one dares to raise opinions easily.

  Everyone in the hall looked at Mu Yan. Mu Zhan also looked at him in astonishment.

  Does Mu Yan know the importance of Juntian to Yunnan's 300,000 troops? If something goes wrong, who can bear the responsibility? And Mu Yan put forward such a suggestion, what does he want to do?

   To win the hearts of the army?

"My lord, this matter needs to be cautious. Although there is not enough food in the army now, but now the amount of farmland has been increased, and it has been reported repeatedly. I believe that the army rations owed by the court will be allocated soon. It can be considered to be able to barely support it. If the grain is not harvested due to over-planting of the military field, and there is a military uprising at that time, it may not be easy to deal with."

  Some officials disagreed with this proposal. As soon as he finished speaking, there was a buzzing in the hall, and whispers of discussion continued one after another.

  There are pros and cons.

  Mu Jun has been working with Mu Yan since he returned home, and he admires the second brother's ability very much. At this time, the second elder brother must have carefully considered this suggestion, otherwise he would not be so reckless.

   asked: "Has the second brother succeeded in the trial planting?"
