"Yang Baihu, we have ten villages and one small town here." Hu Baihu said.
"The total number of households is 300, and the total population is 1,843. The adult population is 321. There are currently 43 soldiers."
Yang Fan's face looked a little ugly. The soldier's gap reached 60-70%, and this place was weird enough.
Seeing Yang Fan's unswerving expression, Hu Qianhu said cautiously: "We do go too far here, and more people escape, but generally other guards do not exceed half."
"The superiors won't come down to check, there are so many people missing," Yang Fan said uneasily.
"Normally, there is a liquidation at the end of every year, but you know this kind of thing, haha" Hu Baihu said haha.
"How to make up for the general shortfall?" Yang Fan was worried and continued to ask.
"There are generally two methods. One is called root replenishment, which is to capture the fleeing soldiers and reorganize them into the team."
Yang Fanxin said that this method is like saying nothing. God knows where these people have escaped and where they can be captured. It’s not like I ran in a day, maybe it took me ten years. I don’t know whether I’m dead or alive. Catch your ass.
"What about the other one?" Yang Fan continued to ask.
"The other is called goubu, which is to ask the family of the deserted soldier to provide a strong man to make up for it. If there is no strong man in this family, it will be supplemented by other military households who have not served." Hu Baihu continued.
Yang Fan pondered, thinking with his buttocks, he knew that no one was willing to make up for it. It's probably not easy to handle, because for so many years, every health center in Zunhua has maintained a shortage of half.
"How is the situation in the military fields? How many grains do we have to pay for the fields in a year? Is there any shortfall?" Yang Fan asked after him. This matter must be clarified and don't make a big mistake.
"You have to ask about this. We have a lot of fields. There are more than 300 households and a total of 130,000 acres of land. There is not enough land for farming," Hu Baihu said excitedly.
Yang Fan curled his lips. He had seen it when he came here. It was all dry land. There was no water, so he had to rely on rain.
The ground was also covered with stones. There were simply more stones than soil.
It is also a saline-alkali land, and the grass is half dead.
"Actually, there are still 3,000 acres of good land. There are 1,000 acres of paddy fields here in Xiaguan, and 2,000 acres of irrigated land belong to other officers. But according to custom, this can be transferred to you, that is, hehe."
Yang Fan understood as soon as he heard that all the good land was occupied by officers. You can inherit the land from your predecessor, but you have to pay compensation.
I don’t even know the price of this thing.
Xiao Niangpi glanced sideways at Hu Baihu and said, "Give me some face, five hundred taels."
Hu Baihu looked pained.
"Before the handover, have you made up for the shortfall?" Xiao Niangpi said: "If Yang Baihu takes over, you can feel free to go to Huai'an to take up the post."
Hu Baihu rolled his eyes and nodded in agreement.
If you deal with the deficit yourself, it won't be considered a loss, otherwise even if you are transferred to Huai'an, it will be a problem.
Hu Baihu took Yang Fan to visit the town again, looking at the warehouses, weapons depots, etc. Both parties finally signed and pledged, and the handover was completed. Yang Fan paid five hundred-tael silver checks and got the title deed to a thousand acres of paddy fields.
Hu Baihu took his family, two soldiers, horsemen, and Mr. Qian Liang and drove away in the carriage. This guy's belongings can hold three carriages, which shows that he made a lot of money during his tenure.
After all the officers took their leave. Tu Shanyue said to Yang Fan: "In order to transfer him, this old Hu embezzled and owed a lot. In addition, he had suffered losses in the past years before he took over. It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of loads of grain, worth about 5,000 taels of silver. Don't worry, I'm here. I'll maintain it for you. As long as you don't collect it, you'll be fine. You can delay it as long as you can. Who knows when you won't be here anymore. Then leave it to the next person."
Yang Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Why does Mr. Tushan insist on getting a military household registration for himself?"
It seemed strange at the time, and afterwards I felt it was unnecessary and illogical.
It turned out to be waiting here.
Master Tushan and Xiao Niangpi took Fatty Hu's money and arranged for Fatty Hu to go to the south for promotion.
Didn’t Fatty Hu’s money come from shortchanging the public account?
This shitty place can only get money from some unlucky military households and material reserves. Where else can you get money from?
It is estimated that at least four thousand taels of the five thousand taels were collected by Xiao Niangpi and her father.
If a hundred households have a deficit of several hundred taels, that's a lot, right?
Fatty Hu knew what he was doing, so he transferred it himself. Someone would take over the shortfall, so the paddy fields were half sold and half given away.
In this way, Xiao Niangpi and Master Tushan are satisfied.
Satisfied myself.
He settled his accounts, had no future troubles, and went to Huai'an to enjoy his life with peace of mind.
Besides, for such a large loss, the successor must find his own people to hide the matter.
If the successor is not one of his own, he may even be hostile.
They will dig you out, can you withstand their digging?
Lord Tushan really has no choice but to take one step at a time and see the next. Good means.
Do you still have a choice?
If nothing else, let’s just say that I saw all the little girl’s skin yesterday, how could I have the nerve to dismantle her?
After Yang Fan figured out the cause and effect, he didn't hesitate and said directly: "I will take care of this matter."
The little girl glanced at him charmingly.
This guy is always so knowledgeable and on the road.
"Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." Xiao Niangpi winked. "I'll protect you. If anyone dares to cause trouble for you, I'll fix him."
Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue did not go back that night. They summoned all the military households, bought ten sheep, cooked sheep soup, and took out flour pancakes from the warehouse. All the military households and their families had a feast.
This is also customary.
Always make an announcement when a new commander arrives. As for how to squeeze it in the future, that is of course also the norm.
Village elders and military officers from ten villages accompanied Yang Fan and Tu Shanyue to drink.
Tu Shanyue obviously sneered at this wine. He had obviously drank Moutai, and no matter how good the wine was in this era, he would not drink it anymore.
"Village elders, I wonder why our village has not developed a large piece of flat land along the Luanhe River."
"Sir, our rocky beach has the most land among the ten hundred households. But it's all saline-alkali land, and it's just rocks."
"Yes, although it is close to the Luanhe River, the Luanhe River is famous for its large water, but it cannot be used."
"The flood season is here, the Luanhe River has risen wildly, and the area has been flooded. No matter how many crops are planted, they are all white.
After the flood season, the water level is low and water cannot be diverted for irrigation. There are many rocks. It is worse than the worst dry land. Even the seed money cannot be collected. "
Yang Fan understood in his heart, I said why such a large piece of flat land is not used, it turns out that it is like this.
Wouldn't flooding cause the land to become salinized? I asked why there were so many pebbles. It turned out to be washed away by flash floods.
If this land were developed, it would be four to five million acres. It's a shame to leave it like this.
"Bring me the map," Yang Fan said.
There are two general banners, one is called Wang Dali and the other is called Zhang Wuge. Immediately lay the map on the ground.
He held the lamp to illuminate Yang Fan. The more Yang Fan looked at the map, the more familiar he felt.
There was clearly a large reservoir here in later generations, which seemed to be called Yuqiao Reservoir. It is the water source of Tianjin City.
