Because Governor Xuanda has been accepting and resettling refugees, the situation in Xuanfu and Datong is still under control.
In Shanxi, only the counties close to Shaanxi were affected, and there was no tragic situation like the rogue bandits in Shaanxi who attacked the city and plundered the land.
No bandits came, no military disasters occurred, and the autumn harvest was basically not affected. This year, the Xuanda area harvested enough food to be self-sufficient.
However, due to aggressive purchases by grain merchants, the price of grain is still high.
Originally, after the autumn harvest, the price of a stone of wheat would fall below one tael of silver, but this year it was no longer possible, and actually still fluctuated around one, two, two, three, or three taels of silver.
This governor-general of Xuanda had a good reputation among the people. In the eyes of the emperor, the cabinet, and the eunuch Bingbi, the chief of etiquette, Geng Ruqi was a capable minister.
Of course, the great eunuch Wang Kun knows how to observe people's words and emotions, and is good at making decisions according to the wind.
After he came to Xuanfu, he never showed any signs of weakness in front of Geng Ruxi, and everything was fine.
You respect me a foot, I respect you a foot.
Nowadays, Geng Ruqi has a lot of money, so of course he will not treat the internal officials lightly.
A few days later, the eunuch Wang Kun received a gift from Governor Xuanda. Unfortunately, it was not gold and silver, but just a large-looking carriage.
Eunuchs are greedy for money, and eunuchs who are sent out must be greedy for money. If they are not greedy, they will not be able to live their lives.
Because the eunuch group also pays attention to the fact that there are people in the court who are good at serving as officials, such as the chief eunuch who is responsible for the ceremony, the eunuch who holds the seal of the twenty-four eunuchs, etc., and the eunuchs who are sent out have to show filial piety.
If you don’t commit corruption, accept bribes, extortion and extortion, what kind of filial piety can you get?
The eunuchs were afraid of being accused. They were not civil servants or generals, they were the emperor's domestic slaves. If the emperor was unhappy, dragging them down and beating them to death was no different than beating a dog to death.
Wang Kun was originally unhappy because he didn't see the gold and silver treasures sent by Governor Xuanda, but after riding in the car for a while, he became happy.
Then he started daydreaming.
The great eunuch has seen many gold and silver treasures, but who has ever enjoyed such a comfortable and comfortable car?
If he gets a few and sends them to the capital to honor the powerful eunuchs such as Mr. Cao, Mr. Wang, Mr. Tang, Mr. Zhang, etc., there is no guarantee that he will be promoted to eunuch Bingbi.
There were fierce battles outside the city, so Huang Yi had to prepare for war and famine. Food could not be left outside the city and had to be stored in a warehouse.
After the autumn harvest, there is basically no work in the fields. At this time, the laborers of the collective farms must go to the city to work and live under the leadership of the town governor, and return before the spring plowing begins.
The biggest reason why the Tatars and Jiu slaves fought was to rob food and daily necessities.
They basically send troops after autumn.
Every individual in the base area has a corresponding collective, and the organizational structure is as smooth as a finger. All Han people have a household registration, and every family has a household registration book.
You can get a job when you enter the city after autumn, and you can get rations at the public grain store with your household registration book.
The unified purchase and marketing of grain is a management model in the base area, and all grain harvested by collective farms must be stored in storage.
Because the real home of collective farm workers is in the city, there are no cement silos on the farm, and even the houses are simple shacks that cannot survive the winter at all.
After one-third of the harvest from the collective farms was handed over, the next step was of course to keep enough grain and sell the remainder to public grain stores in the base area.
Keeping sufficient rations does not mean that each household stores enough food for one year, but records the quantity in the household registration book, and the food has already been stored in the warehouse.
Farmers can go to public grain stores to receive grain twice a month with their household registration books.
The collective farms store wheat, sorghum, buckwheat, etc., and what they take home to eat are processed grains such as barley flattened rice, sorghum rice, white flour, buckwheat noodles, and yellow millet.
The exchange ratio is of course calculated to ensure small profits for grain stores and grain depots, but also to ensure that farmers do not feel they have suffered a loss.
Flour mills and rice mills produce white flour, yellow millet, buckwheat noodles, etc. on a large scale, and have obvious cost advantages compared with household mills.
All in all, the base area can only adopt the model of military control. All soldiers and civilians must be vigilant to prevent invading enemies from grabbing food and arresting people.
History remains the same. As expected, the Hou Jin Army dispatched troops from the puppet capital Shengjing on August 3 and arrived at Baitu Factory in the north of Guangning five days later.
The various Mongolian tribes headed by the Horqin tribe each gathered their own troops and horses to assist in the battle, totaling more than 15,000 cavalry.
Zu Dashou is not a fool, on the contrary, this person is not only brave but also quite scheming.
A month ago, when his brother-in-law Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of the Liaodong Army, personally escorted 20,000 shi of grain to Daling River City, he asserted that the Hou Jin Dynasty could not tolerate the fertile land between the Big and Small Ling Rivers being occupied by our army, and they would attack Daling River. city.
Zu Dashou knew that Wu Xiang was not good at fighting and was good at other things. Seeing that he was so active in sending grain and carbon, he felt happy.
Therefore, he personally led Guan Ning's army to supervise and drive the ban army and civilians to work day and night. He was willing to spend money during the construction of the city, so that at least the ban army and civilians could have enough to eat.
Zu Dashou sent his clan brother Zu Dale, his eldest son Zu Zerun, his adopted son Zu Kefa, his son Zu Kuan and other trusted generals to lead his armored servants to explore the area 200 miles east of Daling River City.
Therefore, when the Jin army's sentry horses appeared near Yizhou and Shisanshanyi, they fought several scout battles with the ancestral family's armored servants.
Judging from experience, the large force of the Jin Army will come in a few days.
In order to reduce the consumption of food and firewood, Zu Dashou only left 5,000 squadrons to assist in defense and withdrew 15,000 civilians.
Because Zu Dashou and Wu Xiang attached great importance to it, it was completely different from the historical Daling River City which was only a semi-finished product when it was surrounded by the Hou Jin Army.
Today, the walls of Dalinghe City are three feet high, and most of the battlements have been repaired. The five thousand squadrons are still seizing the time to complete the remaining ones.
There are fifteen thousand soldiers and horses in the city, and the cavalry is not less than five thousand. The total number of the generals' armored cavalry servants exceeds fifteen hundred.
Since the city had just been repaired, there were no residents, only 5,000 squadrons from the garrison.
Although the guard troops at the end of the Ming Dynasty were no longer useful, the squad troops still had some combat effectiveness compared with civilians. At least these people could understand the trumpets and drums and military regulations.
Today's Dalinghe City has high walls and thick walls, and there is no shortage of water. The food, grass and carbon can last for half a year.
Moreover, it was revealed by Wu Xiang as early as two months ago that the Jin army would definitely come to surround them.
Therefore, when the Hou Jin Army really came to kill, the generals of Guan Ning Army such as Zu Dashou, He Kegang, Zu Dale, Zhang Cunren and others did not panic.
They are all very nervous, because all of them have been surrounded by the Hou Jin army.
Then the Jin army was very good at field battles and was a complete novice at siege warfare. In the past, the way to capture the cities in Liaodong, Ming Dynasty, was basically to use spies to create chaos.
Later, the Jin army found that the target city was resolutely guarded and basically refused to use forceful attack methods. The siege method was used. So far, there is no record of besieging a certain city in Liaodong for more than two months.
