Chapter 169 Immortal General Lin Dengwan

There are no immortal dynasties in ancient and modern times, and there are no immortal emperors and generals in the world. However, there is a general who immortalized and leads his subordinates to fight those in power. This person is called "Immortal General Lin Dengwan".

The immortal general Lin Dengwan is a legendary leader of the rebel army. He has a casual ethnicity, arbitrary hometown, arbitrary beliefs, arbitrary political views, and arbitrary identity, but he must have outstanding abilities and strong will, and can fight repeatedly and repeatedly.

As long as there is oppression, there will be a rebel army wherever there is, and the leaders of the rebel army are all named Lindenwan (leader one).

"The Lin family has many heroes, the eldest is Lin Dengwan, the second is Lin Dengtu, and the third is Lin Dengsui..."

Yuwen Wen was in a good mood tonight, so he used a game meme to describe the opponent he wanted to deal with. Looking at the map of Hebei in front of him, looking at the thick line representing Yongji Canal, thinking about the current situation in Hebei.

There is no doubt that under his instigation, the Hebei region has entered a special state of war, and a war without seeing the smoke of gunpowder has begun. Because grain prices have been falling for several years, the phenomenon of "low grain damage to farmers" has become very common in the Yongji Canal coastal areas.

A large number of farmers were forced to rent out land to foreign trading houses, and they worked on their own to support their families.

The transformation of farmers into handicraft practitioners was not caused by natural processes. It was purely believed that Yu Wenwen, as the initiator, had his own considerations in acting like this.

The country is based on people and food is the main thing. Grain production is the basis for a country's stability. In this era of low productivity (relative to later generations), a large number of farmers "transferred" to workers. Once they get rid of their food, they will cause a sharp drop in grain production, which will lead to a tragedy on earth.

Therefore, Yuwen Wen was playing with fire. If he was not careful, the immortal general Lin Dengwan appeared and led the people from all over the country to rise up.

This ending was not what Yu Wen Wen wanted to see, so when he formulated the policy, he considered various possibilities.

First of all, his purpose was to dismantle the economic foundation of the family politics - the manor economy. To achieve his goal, he must rely on economic means, that is, to dump grain and cloth on a large scale for a long time, and to lower the cloth prices and grain prices.

This will cause the land to depreciate in disguise, which will directly reduce the income of the aristocratic families and strong clans. Over time, it will be unsustainable.

But before that, the first thing that could not hold on was ordinary farmers, including self-cultivated farmers.

The production model of ordinary farmers is to farm men and women weave, cultivate their own land, or rent other people's land to farm, operate in a decentralized manner, with low productivity and poor disaster resistance.

Once natural disasters occur, ordinary farmers will first be in trouble, and then the land will be annexed by the landlord, and they will become tenant farmers or slaves, becoming hidden households under the name of the landlord.

In order to avoid "benefiting" the landlords, Yuwen Wen was engaged in grain dumping and lowering the grain prices, and he had to give ordinary people another choice, otherwise the people would become the food of the landlords.

If he reaches the point of desperate situation, the immortal general Lin Dengwan will appear.

The choice Yuwen Wen prepared for farmers was to preserve the ownership of the land, rent out the use rights to the trading company, obtain stable land rent, and then work on his own to support the family.

Such an option is much better than selling land to big landlords.

The first step is now completed in the Yongji Canal coastal areas. The next second step is to ensure grain production and allow sufficient grain supply to the Yongji Canal coastal areas.

When the weather is good, transporting grain from other places to Hebei for sale can indeed ensure the supply of grain. But if everything is afraid of everything, if you want to maintain stability in Hebei, then the local grain output in Hebei cannot be low so that the most basic self-rescue ability can be maintained in the event of disasters.

Therefore, a trading company that rents land and operates a "new-style farm" must maintain a certain grain planting area for the farms under its name.

This is the red line drawn by Yuwen Wen. Whoever dares to violate it will be unlucky.

Judging from the current situation, the profit prospects of new farms are good due to the various farming and planting technologies of horse farming, rotary plowing, and rotary planting. After all, Yuwen Wen dared to implement such economic policies in Hebei because he had the successful experience in Shannan, Henan and Lianghuai areas first.

The emergence of new farms can reduce the number of people engaged in agricultural production without much change in the total arable land area, while land output has steadily increased. In this way, even if it is a disguised "liberate productivity and improve production efficiency."

There is no need to "invent" chemical fertilizers or "hybrid rice". Yuwen Wen uses the existing conditions to turn the small peasant economy into a farm economy, barely achieving the additional goal of "liberating productivity and improving productivity."

Of course, such reforms have limited specific effects, but they are enough to achieve Yu Wenwen's original purpose: to use new farms to squeeze out the "closed-door-to-market" manor economy and disintegrate the economic foundation of the family politics.

For this goal, he worked hard and made arrangements for many years. Now it is time to bear fruit, but he cannot take it lightly.

Because the immortal general Lin Dengwan will appear at any time.

For ordinary farmers, land is everything. Only with land can there be food and family. Although there is no need to sell land to large households, renting land to unscrupulous merchants is probably not a good thing.

As long as some people with a little knowledge point out that the grain prices were too low for many years because of collusion between officials and businessmen, they forced farmers to rent out land. The "behind the scenes" are the unscrupulous merchants who rented land from farmers. There may be many people who are furious.

At this time, someone will use it, fan the Yin wind and light the ghost fire, and the war will rise.

Yuwen Wen had thought about the inciting remarks of the conspirators themselves: it was the dog officials and the promiscuous businessmen that forced everyone to save the land, and then pretended to give them a bite of food, and everyone was grateful for it? If someone killed your whole family, interrupted your hands and feet, and then raised you for the rest of your life, would you be grateful for it?

This kind of thinking from the perspective of others made Yuwen Wen instantly feel the urge to rise up. The immortal general Lin Deng Wan possessed him and led hundreds of thousands of rebels to fight towards Chang'an.

Then he was bombarded into slag by artillery.

Yuwen Wen rubbed his temples and took back his thoughts. He had an old problem of liking random thoughts and unknowingly, and he was helpless.

He got up and walked back and forth in the room, finally stopped in front of the window, looked at the night outside the window, and looked at the outline of the palace under the night, and couldn't help but think a lot.

There is no fertilizer, and there is no hybrid rice. If you want to increase production and income on the existing arable land area, the only way is to transform the small peasant economy with scattered operations into a concentrated farm economy.

New farms can do this, but at the same time, they will liberate a large amount of labor. If these laborers cannot find work, they will become soldiers of the immortal general Lindenwan. Therefore, they must give these laborers a way out.

Using industry and commerce to absorb these labor can solve the problem, but new problems will arise:

First, industry and commerce must be prosperous enough to have huge labor demand; second, there is enough surplus grain to feed a large number of full-production (without agricultural production).

The second problem is solved by a layout similar to the development of Hanjin University and a new farm, while the first problem involves a slogan: If you want to be rich, build roads first.

In order to develop industry and commerce, transportation must be convenient. It is impossible to build railways on a large scale these days. They can only rely on waterways. In addition to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, they also rely on artificial canals. Therefore, the Yongji Canal is not only a canal canal, but also an important commercial road.

With smooth trade routes and marine trade as a driving force, then the industry and commerce along the trade routes will develop and absorb more full-time (without agricultural production) populations.

In order to protect the Yongji Canal, Yuwen Wen mobilized his army to strengthen the garrison forces in the coastal areas of Yongji Canal just in case.

Whether it is Gaojipo, Douzi?, or other water poles, Yuwen Wen will never allow anyone to engage in "gathering and reunion", threatening the navigation of Yongji Canal.
