Jing Rui didn't hide it when he heard this, and directly said his plans before he came.

Shangguan Xuanyi listened and nodded from time to time.

There is a lot of rain in the south, the flood season is long, and Jingrui is just in time, so it is necessary to build water conservancy and embankments.

After all, it was only an earthen dam, and if it was broken by the river, it would not be the people and the crops that would suffer.

With the advent of concrete, earthen dams are destined to be gradually replaced.

The construction of concrete embankments is a major event, and first of all, what kind of embankment can withstand the power of floods and beasts is a technical problem.

However, Jing Rui has studied with Xiao'er for so many years, and Xiao'er has also taught him a lot of knowledge about construction engineering, building mechanics, a, and it is reinforced on the basis of the existing embankment, there is absolutely no problem.

In fact, the basic construction of a place is all about building roads, bridges, and water conservancy, and developing the economy and bringing people a life of peace and contentment is the last word.

These are the things that every new official will strive to do when he takes office.

While the direction is the same, the approach is different for everyone.

How to develop the economy and let the people live and work in peace and contentment is the top priority of a prefect's work.

Jing Rui said several ways to help the people make a fortune, and one of them was highly praised by Shangguan Xuanyi.

The sugar of the Min Ze Dynasty was made from sugar beets in the north and sugar cane in the south.

I don't know why, there are relatively few sugar workshops in the south, and they are made of sugar cane, only ancient brown sugar and sand sugar, and the sugar in the south is twice as expensive as that in the north.

Jing Rui thought that the south was suitable for growing sugarcane, so he planned to let the people grow more sugarcane, and he planned to find a place nearby to build a sugar cane workshop and a paper workshop.

The sugarcane grown by the people was directly harvested and sent to the workshop to squeeze juice and boil sugar.

The remaining bagasse is sent to a paper mill to make paper.

"It's a good idea, because the mill is built near where the sugarcane is planted, which saves a lot of freight and ensures the freshness of the raw materials, and the paper mill is built near the sugar mill, which can make better use of the bagasse. Shangguan Xuanyi nodded when he heard this.

Growing sugarcane can increase the income of the households, open workshops, and provide employment opportunities for the people who do not have land.

As for the sugar produced, Jing Rui is not worried about sales, first of all, his family has supermarkets in major states and counties across the country, and secondly, it can also be sold overseas, which happens to be close to Haikou.

"Since we want to open a workshop, we will make a little more varieties of sugar, you can make some sand sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, sugar cubes, red sand sugar, borneol sugar, brown sugar, etc. ”

"There are so many kinds of sugar?" Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao'er and didn't know why.

Jing Rui looked at Xiao'er, his eyes were full of admiration: he knew that he would definitely have a better proposal for this Xiao'er.

"Of course!" Xiao'er was a little excited, sugar is a necessity of life, although it is not expensive, but it is definitely a business that depends on volume, and she is not worried that no one will buy it, she is very interested in this business.

"Big brother, I'll open this workshop, count you as a part!"

"If you want to open it, you can open it, you don't have to count me as a share, I'm actually too busy. Jing Rui heard this and directly made an excuse to refuse, he couldn't take advantage of his sister for nothing!

"After all, my time here is short, and this workshop is dependent on my eldest brother to help me watch after all, don't shirk it, do you have any other ideas?" Xiao'er didn't allow Jing Rui to refuse, and decisively changed the topic.

"I have heard you say that if the imperial court can take the land into state ownership and then divide the land into households, this will not only better mobilize the people's enthusiasm for production, but also solve the problem of food and clothing for the people more quickly. I think the policy of dividing fields into households can be tried in Zhenyang County. ”

The previous county magistrate of Zhenyang County was incompetent and was impersonated, and the fake county magistrate did all kinds of evil, greedy for the fields of many landlords, and even exterminated their families, because of this reason, now there are many fields in Zhenyang County that are ownerless, all in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court can just take advantage of this opportunity to try to divide the fields into households.

Shangguan Xuanyi pondered for a moment when he heard this before he spoke: "I have thought about this matter, and it is impossible to implement it all over the country, but Zhenyang County is in a special situation now, and it is indeed possible to try it like this." ”

The current national situation is that most of the land is in the hands of a small number of rich and noble people, which is a typical enclosure.

It is good for ordinary people to have one or two acres of land in their homes, and many people live by renting the landlord's land.

In the past, grain production was low, and even if the people had one or two acres of land at home, it was not enough for the family to have enough to eat.

It is also necessary to rent the landlord's land to live.

But now that grain production has increased, people who have fields at home, even if there are six or seven people in a family, even if it is only one or two acres, do not have to worry about starving to death.

Those who have a few acres of land have too much grain to eat, and can sell a lot of grain every year, and can even use it to feed poultry and earn some silver by selling more poultry.

"How is the eldest brother going to divide it?" Xiao'er did mention it, but she knew at the time that this method was not feasible here, but she didn't expect that she just mentioned it in passing, and both of them were concerned about this matter.

"Let's divide it according to the size of the family, and everyone has two pieces of land. ”

"That's right!Everyone is divided into two, it's enough, what does the second emperor brother think about this?" Shangguan Xuanyi nodded after listening to Jing Rui's words.

"I have already mentioned this to King Xian, and he said that he would do it if I thought it was feasible. Jing Rui listened to Shangguan Xuanyi's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, what could King Xian think, before he set off, he came to the door, and directly asked himself to take care of Zhenyang County, and he couldn't wait to take care of everything himself.

However, for the prefect, in fact, he wants to be the county magistrate of Zhenyang County more, and that place full of holes is more challenging.

Because of this, King Xian asked him to help give advice to Zhenyang County, and he would not agree.

When Xiao'er saw Jing Rui's expression, she guessed that Shangguan Xuanhao wanted to be the shopkeeper.

The man was not interested in anything but medicinal herbs, and as early as when he had a fief, he asked himself to help the people of his fiefdom think of a way to make a fortune.

Then she offered to plant unicorn fruit, and when he heard it, he only said one word: "Okay." ”

Then there was no follow-up, and the actual situation of the fiefdom had not been sent to investigate, otherwise Zhenyang County was such a big thing, if he was a little more concerned, how could he find out when they went!

Anyway, Shangguan Xuanhao is not interested in anything other than the word "medicine", and he can push it.

Xiao'er is used to this.

The emperor also hates this son!

Shangguan Xuanyi was also helpless against this imperial brother: "Since he has no opinion, then you can let it go." ”

"Yes. Jing Rui nodded.
