In this era, Tangshan is really just a mountain, not an administrative division.
It was named after Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty who stationed in Goguryeo during his eastern expedition. The territory of later generations is still divided into Shuntian Prefecture, Yongping Prefecture and Zunhua Prefecture.
In fact, a few years ago, Xishan Group began to purchase land in this area in accordance with the "Tangshan Strategy" formulated by Zhao Hao.
Not limited to the boundaries of Tangshan City in later generations, the entire Yanshan piedmont plain was within the scope of acquisition, so it also included some counties in later Qinhuangdao City and the three counties of Sanhe, Xianghe and Dachang in Langfang City, about 1,200 Thousands of acres of land.
This piedmont plain is actually formed by the alluvial alluvial deposits of rivers such as the Yongding River, Chaobai River, Jiyun River, and Luan River. Therefore, most of the water and soil conditions are superior. Only coastal saline-alkali lands and lowland grasslands are not suitable for farming.
And it¡¯s not too far from the capital. The land here is said to be very popular, but it is at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, and two hundred miles to the north of the mountain is the pasture of the Uliangha people.
"The emperor of the Ming Dynasty guarded the country's gates" is not a joke. Of course, whether he can do so is another matter
Anyway, since Chenghua, the Tatars have invaded in successive years, and the capital has been under martial law at every turn.
Although the Tatars are often unable to attack the fortified cities of Beijing and Tongzhou, they can burn, kill and loot in the vast plains. Moreover, the location of this mountain front plain is great for the Ulangha people. They can start looting after climbing over the Great Wall, and they can go home after looting. It is no different from private land.
But it¡¯s not a problem if things continue like this. In the future, when people open the history books, they will see that the capital is attacked every year and the capital is under martial law. What will they think of the emperors and civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty? It will seriously affect the credibility of everyone's business bragging.
"But if you want to drive the Tatars away so that they don't dare to cross the border, you can't do it.
Fortunately, the civil servants have a lot of ideas. If they think martial law is too ugly every year, then they can just raise the standard of martial law in the capital.
So they privately stipulated that as long as the Wuliangha people did not come within a hundred miles of the capital, it would not be considered an attack on the capital.
The Wuliangha people also quickly discovered this pattern. As long as they did not cross the Chaobai River, the reaction of the government and army would not be that fierce.
Over time, a strange tacit understanding formed in the Gyeonggi area. On the piedmont plain east of the Chaobai River, the officers and soldiers were almost undefended. The Tatars never crossed the Chaobai River, they only plundered and left on this plain.
Therefore, the armies of both sides did not need to die, the Uliangha people could happily rob, and the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty did not have to worry about how to face the emperor's bad face when they petitioned the capital for martial law every year. The emperor no longer has to worry about too many stains in the history books, which will affect his historical status.
It is simply a model of win-win!
What? What about the people east of the Chaobai River? How can things in this world be perfect? I can only sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation.
But the common people are not fools, so how can they just wait and let the Tatars rob them? They fled one after another, or formed villages and clans to protect themselves, both of which would lead to a large amount of land being abandoned.
By the end of the Jiajing period, the ground in Tangshan was already empty of ten houses, and the sky was covered with weeds.
Although since Tan Lun and Qi Jiguang took control of Jiliao, the Tatars have not been allowed to cross the Great Wall again. However, it does not take a day to freeze three feet of ice, nor does it take a day to melt three feet of ice. The concepts that have been ingrained among the people for generations will not be easily changed within a few years.
Also, Qi Dashuai is really powerful, but the Ming Dynasty has a Qi Jiguang in this hundred years. Then he transferred to another place, and a new wave of people came up to ensure that the diarrhea was restored. Therefore, no matter how good the government says, the population will not return easily.
Therefore, Xishan Group has been able to buy the land here at low prices for a long time. Merger is what the nobles are best at. They don't want to do anything else, but they do this very enthusiastically. Moreover, Xishan Group makes so much money every year from selling coal, cement and glass that it has no idea how to spend it. Now it has a place to go.
So we started buying and buying from the Longqing period, and by the end of the third year of Wanli, we basically bought the 120,000 hectares of land east of the Chaobai River and south of Yanshan.
In fact, Zhao Hao¡¯s original intention is to rent or buy. If buying is not an option, you can choose to rent for a long time. As a result, these big business owners who mistook money for money bought them all
But it¡¯s not bad, it only cost thirteen million taels of silver in total, which is an average of one tael more than one acre of land. This is the result of Zhao Hao's strict order not to take advantage of others and to trade fairly.
"Otherwise, they can use 1.3 million taels to complete this matter"
??~~
Zhao Hao named the land purchased by Xishan Group ¡®Tangshan City¡¯.
The thirteen million taels spent is so worth it.
The entire "Tangshan City", exceptSaid: "And here, there are still countless golds that have not yet been mined!"
"Why hasn't it been mined?" Everyone asked, and it was indeed not easy to fool.
"Because there are too few Spaniards." Fortunately, as the Taoist master is taller than the devil, Mr. Zhao's deception skills have grown faster. "They didn't even have time to mine the many gold and silver mines in southern Mexico. How could they care about San Francisco, which is thousands of miles away? That's the territory of the Indians who hate them. So the expedition team can only mark it on the map for future reference. Moreover."
"You should have read the report on the circumnavigation. Lin Feng captured the Peruvian Vice-President's ship in Lima, and found a map marking the location of the gold and silver mines from that ship." Zhao Hao paused for a moment to talk nonsense. :
"Of course, the specific location still needs to be explored by ourselves"
"No problem, if the red-haired ghost can be found, we will definitely find it!" A group of old foxes finally fell into the trap, and they all excitedly said:
"North America, we are going to make a decision!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
