After Xiao Yuan occupied half of the south, it was time for the New Year before he had time to maintain stability.

The Xiao family has been very busy this year.

Because the old lady passed away not long ago, during the New Year, there was no big deal, An Ning just found a good embroidery girl to add two new clothes to the children, and the girls in the family played two more sets of heads, and the side was gone.

There are no red lanterns in the house, and there are no Spring Festival couplets, and this year is very light.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, Xiao Jue went to invite the old lady to him for the New Year, and the old lady said that he would not go and spend the New Year alone in a small mansion.

Fortunately, there are people in that house to serve him, and he is not afraid of being bored.

After the New Year, An Ning will be even busier.

She was busy with the spring planting, and she was also busy walking in the fields in the counties and townships of Nanyi, waiting for the weather to heat up, and the autumn rice and wheat planted last year should be harvested.

Then there are those sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in Anning's experiment are also about to be harvested, and Anning will also prepare a Zhuangzi to specialize in sweet potato potatoes and improve the varieties by the way.

Xiao Yuan is also busy here.

He wanted to stabilize the situation, and he also had to gather some information from the spies sent out to various places to listen to the news, and then find out something useful from it.

Moreover, Xiao Yuan still has to deal with the court in the north.

Now there are people in the northwest who are rebelling, there are also people in the southwest, and there are also some people in the south of the Yangtze River who can't survive to rebel, and the wolf smoke of Daqi is everywhere, Xiao Yuan is stronger than moving at this time, he handed Emperor Jingqing a plea, and by the way, he asked Emperor Jingqing to ask for an official.

At this time, Emperor Jingqing was enough to deal with the bandits everywhere It was enough to have a headache, and he was unable to conquer Nanyi at all.

In the eyes of Emperor Jingqing, Nanyi is a barbaric place, a place that is not worth mentioning, even if it is really occupied, it is nothing, the key is that the one who occupies Nanyi has no intention of opposing the court, and is willing to be an official of the court, which is good.

So, Emperor Jingqing generously sealed Xiao Yuan a town of Nanhou, which meant that he would sit in Nanyi, and also gave Xiao Yuan the land of these prefectures in the south.

Under the distribution of the imperial court's holy decree, Xiao Yuan had the proper name of occupying the Nanyi Prefectures, and he acted more broadly.

He built a number of salt pans by the sea, specializing in drying sea salt, and several glass factories for making glass, and then several factories for making delicate objects.

An Ning also began to encourage some people to plant cotton and raise silkworms, she improved the spinning wheel and loom, so that the spun cotton thread is finer and more tough, and the woven cotton cloth is also particularly soft and delicate.

In addition, An Ning also came up with a tie-dyeing technique, the woven cotton cloth is dyed with this technology, the dyed color is very beautiful, and the dyed fabric also has a pattern, which naturally enhances the value of the cloth.

The cloth dyed by Nanyi was sold everywhere and transported to the South Seas in exchange for a variety of precious spices, as well as precious stones, jade and pearls.

After such a busy chatter, it was soon time to harvest rice and wheat.

Many places in Nanyi planted rice and wheat seeds provided by An Ning last year, and when the grain was harvested, An Ning and Xiao Yuan took people to take a look.

A good paddy field can harvest more than 1,000 catties of rice per acre, and even a medium paddy field can harvest 100 catties, and the yield of wheat is also particularly high, and the yield of most fields is above 1,000 catties.

This made the officials who followed Xiao Yuan to inspect very surprised, and after the surprise, there was ecstasy.

With this kind of high-yield grain, as long as there are no major disasters in Nanyi, it will not take a few years for Nanyi to become rich and prosperous.

When the grain in the counties of Nanyi Province was harvested, An Ning asked people to exchange other grains for these good seeds of the people, and then transported them to the provinces for people to plant.

Before, Xiao Yin specially asked her to train those sailors to do propaganda work, and the people of all prefectures knew that the third master had specially found grain seeds for everyone to plant, and last year all over Nanyi had been planted, and the yield was particularly high, and some rice could reach a yield of more than 1,000 catties per mu.

There is real data, and the people are naturally willing to plant.

When the grain was distributed, the people everywhere began to grow these fine rice seeds and wheat.

An Ning also planted sweet potatoes and potatoes on Zhuangzi, sent special people to take care of them, and recorded the growth every day.

After more than a year of development, the entire Nanyi Prefecture has developed very prosperous.

Because in the past year or so, Daqi has been plagued by disasters everywhere, and there have been displaced people who have made trouble, and the people are very sad.

And Xiao Yuan sent people to various places to publicize the stability and prosperity of Nanyi, which attracted many people to move south and come here to live.

The population of Nanyi Zhufu has almost doubled, and many places in Daqi are empty, but the villages in Nanyi are full of smoke, and some places in Daqi look desolate, and Nanyi feels a thriving color no matter where they go.

In addition to population growth, Nanyi Zhufu also overhauled roads, paved cement roads into villages, and built many workshops in Anning and Xiao Yuan, and the profits of these workshops were also amazing.

In order to cultivate talents, Xiao Yuan built a school in the countryside of Nanyi Zhufu, which was divided into a men's school and a women's school, encouraging children in the village to come to school, and all children who have reached the age of six can go to the school to study, and even in some places there are mandatory rules to go to school, boys in the family to study, girls must also study, otherwise they will be punished.

Of course, these schools are also free.

In addition to the free school, Xiao Yuan also asked several doctors from Daqi to come to Nanyi, and he helped these doctors build several diagnosis and treatment rooms to help the people in the village see a doctor.

For more than a year, because of the cultivation of high-quality grains, the people of Nanyi Zhufu lived a particularly prosperous life.

This land is vast and sparsely populated, and everyone has their own cultivated land, and every family has a dozen to dozens of acres of land.

In the early days, when the yield was low, the output of more than a dozen acres of land was not enough for a family to chew except for the autumn tax.

At that time, the best paddy fields only produced about 300 catties of rice a year, and more than a dozen acres of land were only a few thousand catties.

But now it's different, the best paddy fields are planted in two seasons a year, more than 1,000 catties per season of one acre of land, more than 2,000 catties a year, and more than 30,000 catties of rice are more than 10,000 catties of rice, and you can't eat them all.

Some families have planted dozens of acres of land, and there are tens of thousands of catties of rice in a year.

Since Xiao Yuan took charge of Nanyi, he has recustomized the agricultural tax, and the annual autumn tax is really not much, and he also prohibits the officials under him from raising taxes indiscriminately, preventing the small officials from collecting taxes indiscriminately, and making the autumn tax in the countryside transparent, telling the people how much they should pay, and if they levy too much, they can go to the government to report or something.

Therefore, the people at the bottom are relatively incorruptible, at least much better than before.

Earlier, it was a tax of four out of ten, and Xiao Yuan was only two out of ten, and in his words, it will be less in the future.

If a family collects 50,000 catties of rice a year, it can only pay 10,000 catties of taxes, and there are 40,000 catties left.

The people of Nanyi are about to enshrine Xiao Yuan.

Xiao Yuan is in Nanyi, that is the existence of a god, but if someone says that he is not good, there is no need for the government to come forward, and the people alone can directly scold this person to death.

There is that short-tempered one, you dare to say that Xiao Yuan is not good in front of him, he really dares to draw a knife and fight with you.

In the words of the people, if anyone scolds Xiao Sanye, it is purely enough of a good life.

Xiao Sanye is not good, so who is good?

Xiao Sanye let everyone eat and dress warmly, and also built a good road for everyone to walk, and also built schools for all over the country, so that the male and female babies in the family can study, Xiao Sanye was afraid that everyone would be sick and had no place to see the disease, so he specially invited a lot of doctors, and built a diagnosis and treatment room in the countryside for everyone to see a doctor, he thought of everything he could think for the people, what do you still think of him?

Xiao Sanye manages everyone's food and clothing without worry, so that everyone is not afraid of getting sick, can afford to be sick, and allows children to study, and his parents may not be as good as him.

Isn't it just that, when Xiao Sanye didn't come earlier, ordinary people's families, whose parents and fathers can make the children in the family read and write? Dare to guarantee that you are full of rice three times a day? Let you eat one meal of meat in ten days and a half months?

Don't laugh, it's really good that thin rice soup can fill your stomach.

Now the people of Nanyi Zhufu sing Xiao Yuan's good, which is the real love from the bottom of their hearts.
