Since the issuance of the new currency, Fang Tianlin really calmed down and did not issue new decrees.Although some undercurrents are surging, after all, Linshan County is only a small place, and the ambitions of the local tyrants are limited. At least they don't have the idea of ​​occupying the mountains and becoming kings in troubled times. Now that the Shen family is powerful, no matter how unwilling it is, they can only act in private, and no one dares to disobey on the surface.

Fang Tianlin was not too worried about this. The Shen family's power began to slowly infiltrate into various parts of Linshan County. With them suppressing them, it might be quite difficult for the landowners and gentry of Linshan County to secretly accumulate strength.As time goes by, the suppressed emotions will gradually be relieved, and it will only become more and more difficult to overthrow the Shen family in one go.

The issuance of new coins also has an advantage, that is, it promotes the consumption of the people, and Fang Tianlin can be regarded as a crooked one.Although he has tried his best to change the people's consumption concept, but the past thoughts are deeply ingrained, and it is really not easy to get money from their pockets for a while.As soon as the star coins came out, the people spontaneously exchanged the money for things without the Shen family pushing behind.

Of course, this situation will change over time. It is impossible to continue such a violent consumption momentum and eventually return to calm, but this is a good sign, isn't it?With this introduction, coupled with the promotion of the Shen family, the people's life is becoming more and more prosperous, and the consumption level is gradually increasing.

Since the Shen family took charge of Linshan County, Fang Tianlin combined everyone's opinions to subdivide the various military and political departments, with clear powers and responsibilities, so as to save the organization from being bloated and complicated, and to blame each other when things happen.Now the entire Linshan County is like a refurbished machine, and its efficiency has been greatly improved. Some redundant personnel have been cut to other positions, but it has not caused a new wave of turmoil.

"Jiahe, how much food do we have now? What's the price outside?" Except for some major issues, Shen Jiahe is in charge of other matters, and Fang Tianlin only grasps the general direction without too much intervention.He has two hands alone, and he doesn't have three heads and six arms. It is impossible to take care of everything. Delegating power is an inevitable trend.

"The only thing on the public account is the land tax that was collected. This time, no money is required. All the grain collected is of various types. Here is the total." Shen Jiahe rummaged through, took out the tax ledger, and pointed to the field The tax column said, "As for the price, our side is okay, the increase rate is not large, but it is hard to say outside the southwest. The price in the war-torn places has skyrocketed, and other places are better, but there are also rises to varying degrees. Necessities such as food rose the most.”

After hearing this, Fang Tianlin knew in his heart that food was the hard currency during the war, and money was the least valuable at this time.He took the account book and flipped through it, he didn't have much idea about the numbers on it, he pondered for a while and said: "Jiahe, do the math, how many people can eat these for a year, and how long can they last if they are replaced by soldiers' rations. "

"it is good."

Shen Jiahe's words fell, and the study returned to calm, only the rustling sound of writing remained.

After a long time, Shen Jiahe stopped writing, and said to Fang Tianlin on the other side: "This is a preliminary estimate and can only be used as a reference. By the way, I have also calculated our own food, and I will record it later. You can take a look." , it’s good to know what’s going on.”

Fang Tianlin smiled approvingly. His daughter-in-law was thinking more and more comprehensively, and she knew more and more things. Without him, he wouldn't be as worry-free as he is now.

After reading it, Fang Tianlin closed the account book, his eyebrows frowned slightly: "The land tax collected is not much. After the salary and food are paid, I am afraid there will not be much left. At most, we can support a few thousand people, which is a bit small."

"Tianlin, that's already a lot. Linshan County has a total of 6 to 6000 people, and the land tax collected can support [-] to [-] people. I'm afraid even Mozhi County won't believe it if it's put in the past. Now that the full amount is handed over, it will There are not so many people stopped midway, so there are so many." Shen Jiahe obviously disagreed, "I know what you think, but there is no need to rush this matter, let's take our time, now Linshan County is very fragile, and casual movements may hurt your muscles Let's move the bones, let's straighten out the interior of Linshan County before making any plans."

Hearing this, Fang Tianlin smiled, looked up and down Shen Jiahe with great interest, and sighed: "Not bad, not bad!"

Shen Jiahe glanced at him, completely ignoring his joking eyes, and his expression became serious: "Tianlin, what do you think eldest sister and the others are doing now?"

Hearing this topic, Fang Tianlin put away his joking demeanor: "Yunzhou City is an important town in the south, and there should be no problems for the time being. If there is no escape there, there are not many places in the entire Jing Dynasty that are safe."

"I hope so." Shen Jiahe didn't dwell too much on this issue, it's useless to think too much, at this time, it is impossible for him to take the risk of sending a fleet to sail.

No matter how chaotic it used to be, the order is still there, and now they are doing their own thing, and the Shen family guards travel in large numbers, which is tantamount to challenging their authority, and it is normal to fight directly if they disagree.Even though the caravan is still unimpeded, it means that a large amount of passing money has been handed in. The most important point is that the caravan is just a caravan, and the sky is the sky. .

Everyone in the Shen family understood this point, and no one mentioned this point in front of Fang Tianlin, it was just because of concerns.The Shen family can get to where it is today, thanks to Fang Tianlin, everyone in the Shen family can take risks, but Fang Tianlin can't go wrong.At this precarious time, Fang Tianlin's existence was the greatest guarantee for the Shen family.

The problem also lies in this. If Fang Tianlin is not dispatched, the possibility of sending someone to pick him up safely is not high. Fortunately, in the southwest area, the risk of sea navigation is too high now. Judging from the news sent back, the Shen family fleet has already Basically do not go to sea, and offshore navigation is dangerous, let alone long-distance voyages.

That's all Shen Jiahe mentioned, and there is no other meaning, the focus is on the present.

Speaking of Yunzhou City, Fang Tianlin remembered that the money earned by his family's cooperation with Mr. An San had not yet arrived. Judging from the current situation, I am afraid that there will be no trace of the money for a while.

I don't know if the Ling family and the local garrison can hold Yunzhou City, that place is too prosperous, if the war spreads there, the wealthy households in the city may have a hard time living.Forget it during peacetime, all aspects are mutually restrained, businesses have a lot of room for survival, and the rich and powerful will not exploit too much. When there is a war, everyone's attention will probably focus on this, but anyone who is capable will want to take a bite.Who made the entire Jing Dynasty, compared with the heavily guarded royal city, Yunzhou City more prosperous and easier to eat?

"Jiahe, don't worry, before I left, I asked the An family and the Ling family to take care of the elder sister and the others. As long as these two forces are still there, the elder sister and the others should be able to get shelter, and they should be able to save their lives if they don't save their lives."

Shen Jiahe knew this, but Fang Tianlin mentioned it again to his face, and he was still relieved.Money is something outside of the body, it would be nice if he could save his life, he really didn't dare to ask for anything else.

Zhenning Pass.

"General, border gates and sea areas have launched troubles together, and the central and northwest have not been able to completely suppress the rebellion. Why do I feel that this situation is not normal?" Vice-General Yin frowned tightly, and he couldn't figure it out. It has only been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and it has not yet reached the time when the sun is waning and the western mountains are precarious. How can it be torn apart so suddenly?Even if years of famines occur and national strength declines, there should be a transitional period, so that the troubles will not reach the present level in just a few years.

Mr. Su was expressionless, his eyes half closed, and he didn't say a word. After a long while, he said quietly: "From the news from the spies from all over the place, it seems that someone is fanning the flames behind the scenes, but we don't know who is benefiting. There are not many sources of news outside, but since we can see some clues, it doesn't make sense that the person on the dragon chair was deceived. I'm afraid there are too many forces involved in it, and even he can't suppress it, but who can have such Great ability?"

All the generals here couldn't help but feel a shivers down their spines. This is simply taking advantage of your illness to kill you. Who would plan to target Jing Chao so deliberately?Judging from the current situation, except for the weak imperial court, it seems that no one has benefited. The forces behind the scenes are not just trying to occupy a piece of territory, right?The troubled times didn't do them much good, or did the situation go beyond their control and develop in an unpredictable direction?

This question is unknown to everyone, so they can only skip it, and then discuss military affairs.

"Since the last siege failed, there has been no major movement in the Meng Kingdom, not only on our side, but also in Jiayuguan. Sending a small group of soldiers into the country to harass the people, making the people miserable and abandoning their homes to avoid the military disaster. It is estimated that General Zhou must be very angry recently. But I don’t blame him, whoever is in his position, I’m afraid it will be the same. No one is farming, food and salary Where to go to march? Right now, the higher-ups have no time to take care of this side, and all the troops at the border have to rely on themselves, which is difficult."

Elder Su's eyes moved slightly, without the food support from the Shen family, their life would not be so easy.The previous battle cost a lot. If the logistics and supplies were all cut off, in order to feed the soldiers, I could only...

In a sense, the people in the southwest area can still live and work in peace and contentment, thanks to the Shen family's existence, but most people don't understand the mystery of it, and don't think about it at all.

Speaking of the Shen family, Mr. Su didn't know how to evaluate it.I heard that Linshan County is now owned by the Shen family, which is both expected and unexpected.It's just that when he first heard the news, he was stunned for a moment, and then he returned to normal.

Su Lao has long seen that there are too many weirdnesses in the Shen family. After thinking about it, it would be strange for the Shen family not to take this opportunity to start a career, but they don't know how big their ambitions are.

Now the border generals have no order to listen to, let them enter King Qin Qin, unless they are the current direct line, otherwise few people are really willing to do this, at least Mr. Su will not move.The general will not accept the order of the foreign emperor. Originally, the relationship between the Su family and the royal family is delicate, and it is even more impossible to ask for the worst at this time.

It’s just that it doesn’t work all the time. In this kind of world today, where the military power is in the hands, it’s either annexing others or being annexed by others. Elder Su has to think carefully about how to go next.
