Chapter 836: The People
"Then you should know what the purpose of my call here this time is, so have you already made a move during the time you have been waiting for me?"
Qian Rujun asked the students of Xuetang Island.
"At first, we only dared to do some superficial work, but when we arrived one after another, we began to probe the terrain of this place, and there were no roadblocks, and we had to drive through, which not only increased the difficulty, but also made the water flow very fast, and the phenomenon of diversion would occur, which did not help stabilize the river.
We must look for a river channel with the least bend, because the crooked river channel is easy to silt up on one side of the river, and finally the river will change direction slowly, not to mention that if it is too easy to approach the situation of bending and diversion, it will not be stable and durable if it is not thick, because the river will have an attack effect, and finally produce a bend to straighten.
The river is often easy to cultivate the fertile land, so the river is easy to cause disasters when it is cut and straightened by itself, so we would rather let the branches of these rivers to disperse this pressure, and at the same time allow the irrigation area to increase, but we must pay attention to the stability of the water flow when we disperse the pressure and manually dig the water tank, even in the time of drought, the water level of the water can not be lowered too much.
In the event of a flood, the water level of the river should not be raised, and in the event of a flood, the water of the river should not be allowed to spread out and flow to a fixed place where water can be stored. ”
The answer of the students of Xuetang Island is not easy, because these jobs put a lot of pressure on them, and he answered these words very simply, but it is a very big project to turn them into facts.
He is a person who understands, and he is not a fool who doesn't know anything, so he will answer all kinds of questions.
In short, water control has never been a simple matter in Dahan, even if Jinmaicheng has more advanced tools, but these advanced tools still have no way to open up the mountain.
It's not that simple for Gakudo students to accomplish these things.
"You don't have to think too seriously, at the beginning you found a small river, actually operated it once, after gaining experience, we are slowly expanding the scope of the river, you must have a certain grasp, we can carry out this work in a larger river.
What's more, in the process of the expansion of Jinmaicheng, we have not been managing the hydrology of Jinmaicheng? Although there is no large-scale data, you should study the data of Jinmaicheng. ”
Many students on Academy Island were dumbfounded, because they didn't have direct contact with the governance of Golden Wheat City, so they didn't necessarily have research on everything that Golden Wheat City did.
"I know that there is a copy of this data in the Academy, and the princess seems to have copied it. ”
This Xuetang Island student knew that these things belonged to the management data, and Qian Rujun would not take the materials to the library of Xuetang Village privately, but would keep them in the management office of Jinmai City, so that subsequent managers would have the opportunity to study, and inherit the previous research and improve it.
For the managers of Golden Wheat City, this is a continuation of the function.
New managers must at least read the literature within five years, and as for the previous projects, they must at least have seen the big projects and know the development of Jinmaicheng.
Now joining the management of Jinmai City, it is not necessarily Qian Rujun's subordinates, but many smart people in Dahan.
These smart people must agree with the concept of Jinmai City, and go through layers of assessment before they can enter the Jinmai City Management Bureau.
For them, the work provided by the Jinmai City Administration, although they are not officials of the imperial court, but in this place, they can enjoy the taste of power, although these rights are to serve the people, this is to serve the people, they are actually directing the people.
It is too difficult to become an official of the imperial court, and many people will be depressed, although it is also difficult for the Jinmai City Administration, many people can develop their talents in this place.
In fact, the Jinmai City Administration is also very incomprehensible, why the imperial court does not invite more officials to govern the people well, they think that Jinmaicheng is because there are so many officials to serve the people, so the people's lives will get better and better.
Whether it is a chicken-and-egg or an egg-and-chicken problem, the people who live in Jinmai City are becoming more and more unclear, but they all know that the development of Jinmai City can have today is the result of Qian Rujun and the court officials coming and the free flow of population.
This result gradually became the object of discussion in the imperial court, but for the local officials, the increase or decrease in the population affected their evaluation, and they were absolutely unwilling to let the people out of their sphere of governance.
Even if only one part of Jinmaicheng has the right to free movement of people, if other places also have the right to free movement of people, half of the local officials will probably have to appeal to the imperial court en masse.
For they found that in the place they governed, no matter how hard he tried, he could not keep the people there, and that what was produced for their cultivation would never be as good as that of other places.
Their city is not as prosperous as other cities, and the population, although there is generally less movement because of the language, there are always some people who can quickly master the language and are willing to seek development elsewhere, and from the development of Jinmai City, it seems that people who have developed well have the habit of helping other relatives to continue to take them to the place where his development has been successful.
The Han Dynasty is almost a place where clans live, a clan has a few dozen people, and a lot of tens of thousands of people, once there is a movement of one person in the clan, and the flow of this person proves to be successful, it is like a lever is struck, and countless people of this clan will start to move, and the clan may move over as a whole, or start to split.
Anyway, for local officials, it's an unsolvable problem.
"It should not be too difficult to control the small rivers by your ability, and if the local authorities know that we are going to help them manage the rivers, they should generally not stop them, because this will allow them to have more fertile land and increase the number of people. ”
Qian Rujun also knows that in fact, the people are important to local officials. They want that number. However, in most cases, the increase in the number of people depends on childbirth, but when the people give birth, they must also consider the problem of whether they can afford to raise them, or whether they can sell them.
After all, giving birth to a child, if there is no way to sell it at a good price, it will also cause a very big burden for women, so it is better for women not to have more children.
This woman can give birth to a dozen or twenty children at most, and with the risk of childbirth.
But if you really give birth to a dozen or twenty, a woman's body will collapse, although her childbearing will become easier and easier.
For men, women are a tool for reproduction, but since they are useful tools, they will be more precious, and in most cases, women can also share men's work and take care of children, so women will become more and more important, even more than men.
Economic value is always an important factor in measuring the status of a family.
However, the Han Dynasty imposed a concept of filial piety, and the emperor began to follow it, so that there would be no problem of the old man being abandoned.
It is also very important for the stability of the entire Han Dynasty, and it should be said that it is very important for the Han people to be able to pass on this habit for a long time.
Because there is a danger of being wiped out at any time, it has become the instinct of all Han men, and it has also become an important thing for women to pursue their own values.
Being able to give birth to a child who can be passed on to the next generation is the highest achievement for a woman to elevate her status.
Qian Rujun thinks that her status does not need to be improved, and she does not disdain to follow other people's opinions to improve her status, she is an extreme ego person, if other people's opinions are very unacceptable to her, then this person must be by her side, then her choice must be to brainwash the other party.
This is also Qian Rujun's feeling that she will not be able to live in the e-paper book space, because the opinions of others alone will make her eardrums burst and her soul very broken.
Since Qian Rujun left the information, of course the students of Xuetang Island have no opinion, they entered the space to enjoy the food, while flipping through the information, they flipped through the information very quickly, and they could quickly get a concept after discussing with each other, not to mention that before Qian Rujun came, most of them had some basic concepts about the river designated by Qian Rujun, and they were more practical when discussing.
During this time, they have made preliminary calculations and plans for the range that this water system can irrigate, and with the experience of Jinmaicheng, they have more detailed and specific research figures.
"Fortunately, no matter what Jinmaicheng does, they know how to leave data, although they themselves can't understand it, but for those of us who can understand, it becomes something that can be learned, and a lot of experience can be promoted faster, as long as we train people and understand some water control principles, maybe our work can be done through these people." ”
The students of Xuetang Island know that with more than 1,000 of them, they have to go all over the mountains and fields to control the water, and they don't know how much time it will take, and these talents, if they are trained and the local officials know how to use them, can basically do simple water control.
But they feel that the biggest problem may not be in the people, but in the local officials sent by these imperial courts, basically they have no money in their hands, and all the money depends on the local gentry, if the local gentry have this consciousness and are willing to control the water, then the control of the water will become possible, but this kind of water control, maybe more benefits may be in the hands of the gentry.
As far as these gentry are concerned, they have never regarded the common people as the same kind as themselves.
Therefore, the land and land opened up with their money should naturally be theirs, even if some of them must be assigned to the local officials of the imperial court to distribute the land, but more land, they will get it in their own hands, or even not, report it to the imperial court and become the object of tax collection by the imperial court.
Such a field is called a hidden field.
Therefore, the safest way is for Qian Rujun to open up the fields, and there is a report to the court for the fields, but in this way, it seems that it is not beneficial to Qian Rujun.
However, they also know that Qian Rujun does a lot of things and does not pursue benefits.
As long as this matter has very big benefits for Dahan, Qian Rujun will do it at this time, even if she has not touched these benefits at all.
"You don't seem to be able to figure out what I can get out of this.
Then again, why should I benefit?
But there are still advantages, when the people get richer and richer, more people can afford to buy my products, these products will become money, and this money can be invested in water conservancy development, which is actually a good thing.
We invest in water conservancy development, and by the way, we will publicize Jinmaicheng, so that the people who develop these fields and slowly get rich will know that this is the benefit given by Jinmaicheng, so when choosing products in the future, most of them will choose Jinmaicheng's products. ”
"It's just that apart from the people of Jinmai City farming, there seems to be no one who can make money, unless he owns a very large field, which means that he is already a big landowner.
After we improve the water conservancy facilities, we will be able to give some agricultural assistance to the areas where we have changed the water conservancy facilities, so that they will have a surplus of production, and when there is a surplus of reproduction, if they are not allowed to buy and sell, they will not be able to eat it.
Grain will spoil if left alone. ”
"When there are more opportunities to buy food, the price of food for people in the city will fall, and more people will come to work in the city, of course, if the Han people can enter the city.
Compared with other cities, the biggest difference between Jinmai City and other cities is that we do not have city walls, so we can accommodate more people into our city, which causes our city to continue to expand. ”
"Is the princess saying that our city should not have walls, but if the city does not have walls, how can we ensure the safety of the people when there are displaced people outside?"
"In fact, Chen Qiang is the most important thing for everyone to ensure safety, but the people who are isolated outside the city wall are not the people of the Han Dynasty?
The officials of the imperial court kept themselves safely in the city, so aren't there more people outside the city than in the city?
Qian Rujun didn't want to change anything, to change the structure of the imperial court, this is too difficult to do.
Qian Rujun wants to let the students of Xuetang Island know this truth.
In this era, there was no statistical survey, and I could only roughly feel that most of the people of this Han were pigs, living in the countryside, and there were very few people in the so-called city, and there were only three or two shops that could meet the general needs of the people. It is estimated that less than 10 percent of the population of the city is located.
