Chapter 837 - Commencement

"Have you forgotten that the security of Dahan is not very good?" asked Qian Rujun suspiciously.

"This, indeed, but the security is not good, and most of it is not outside the city walls? There are rich people in the city, and there are also people outside the city!"

"But if there is no city wall, how can the person you call an official sleep in peace? And the people are fierce, and they are not necessarily able to control the life and death of the people outside the city. ”

"But the people outside the city lived together in clans. Self-policing, otherwise there are so many bandits and bandits. They lived. Qian Rujun tried to reason.

"Actually, the magistrate couldn't figure out the situation outside the city. And the local people may even be bandits. It is also a reasonable part-time job, they argue. ”

Qian Rujun found that people who were reasonable and only wanted to win seemed to have no way to talk to him.

Even the students in the academy will make this mistake and always want to tell others.

For our own country and nation, we love and hate. Their starting point at this time is not rational analysis, but blind love. I don't know which one is his true word, and the one that comes out is born for the sake of argument.

Qian Rujun decided to stop talking about these digressions with the students of Xuetang Island, weren't they planning how to use a short time and a relatively small number of people to do the work of channeling the flow of water and open up 10,000 acres of fertile land?

knew that Qian Rujun wanted to lead the topic back, so he slowly followed Qian Rujun's words, led the topic back, and said to Qian Rujun:

"We've designed a 10-kilometre reservoir, which is probably the best place to practice.

The place where the water passes through is due to the frequent occurrence of explosions.

Originally, it was a swamp area, so there were no people in the vicinity, but when it was sorted out, it was very fertile. So this land is the best demonstration field.

The difficulty of sorting is relatively low.

More water, we also have an overflow ready for us.

In our reasoning, there shouldn't be a problem.

Who does the land we want to open up belong to? Do we have to talk to the local government in advance, and if we need to use manpower, whether we hire local manpower ourselves, use the government, or encourage the local government to actually participate in and share their profits, we must do a good job before we start construction.

If we are not going to establish ourselves locally, then it is better to use our official capacity or to cooperate with the local people to open up the land.

We have to use the official identity, which is the most convenient, and it is good to talk about the conditions and benefits with the officials.

Even if we want to do business with the local government and cooperate with them, they may not be able to see it, but the benefits we can get in the future are the greatest.

Because the water cannot remain the same, the river is always finding its way.

It would be best if the people could take the initiative to manage it.

After seeing the benefits, they will have more motivation than the government to manage the reservoir. But it is best to manage a single group, not divided into two or three points, if it is a dozen points, it doesn't matter if it is scattered. ”

The person who spoke seemed to already know which method Qian Rujun was prefering.

Therefore, the method proposed by Qian Rujun is also biased towards that method.

Qian Rujun estimates that he does not want to take the benefits of this field completely into his own possession, but wants to let the local people have the benefits of management level, because once it is developed, if there is a lack of management, it will soon return to its natural appearance

The best people in management are the people who use the water tank, and they will carefully follow the methods told by the students of Xuetang Island and maintain them carefully.

To find a local official to say that Qian Rujun's identity as a Han princess is too high.

But if you let the school guide students out, they will be bullied by local officials.

Because they don't have an official identity at all for court officials, they have no rank or rank, and they can be regarded as Qian Rujun's domestic slaves at most.

If he appeared as Qian Rujun's domestic slave, Qian Rujun felt that it was too cheap for the students of Xuetang Island, and each of them was better than these court officials.

So Qian Rujun's method is that she did go out in person, but the conversation was left to the students of Xuetang Island.

Local officials are indeed difficult to deal with, and only officials who have just started out will think about doing things for the people.

But if this person is generally from the grassroots and often suffers a lot of setbacks, then the mind of doing things for the people is getting weaker and weaker.

What's more, many people, he became an official for himself and his family, and from the beginning, he had no common people and no country in his heart.

What they want is self-play.

So for them, there is no way to convince them of the reason for increasing the welfare of the common people, so what is the best way?

For Qian Rujun, she took the initiative to build water conservancy, for local officials, the benefits are simply not too big, first of all, so that almost every local flood can be eliminated, you can reduce her very much spending, the cost of building water conservancy is saved, and they can reduce their begging for money with the local gentry.

You must know that even if they reach out to the local gentry to ask for money, it will take a lot of strength.

Sometimes even face is trampled on in place, and a lot of shameful terms are promised, which will leave a lot of official interests in vain.

Fortunately, as long as he can become an official in another place, he doesn't have to recognize the terms of those land cession compensations.

However, Qian Rujun's request did not involve the power of the magistrate at all, as long as he agreed to Qian Rujun's opening up of land in that place, and gave the land certificate, then he could reap the taxes.

The real estate of the opened up fields belongs to Qian Rujun, or is the object of Qian Rujun's cooperation.

Qian Rujun said that this land was opened up, not for herself, but for the people.

That is to say, he will mobilize the local people to open up the field and open up the field, that is to say, every field will pay taxes to the imperial court, that is, the local officials say that he does not have to do anything, just find someone to collect taxes.

The tax will increase, but to the dissatisfaction of the local court officials, if the matter of Qian Rujun is handed over to the collaborator and the local yamen to operate, then the local officials will be able to control the field.

After taking control of this field, he had a lot more land, which could be distributed to the common people, and in the same way, he would also have taxes, and it was the duty of officials to distribute the land for cultivation.

After doing so, the land was distributed to the local gentry, and his official reputation could be raised many times over, and it was normal for him to have the common people open up the fields, and it was normal for him to serve in labor.

Normally, he has to find something for these people to do.

As for the food to be eaten for work and rest, for the court officials, they only had to be given food for major events, and most of them were paid for by the people themselves.

I didn't let you go to work far away, so there was no need to give you food. The imperial court was also short of food.

What's more, only the people near the swamp land go to open up a new water conservancy, and they will generally not refuse, and they will be very happy, because they are the ones who actually benefit from the new water conservancy.

Even if there are no new fields, their fields will be able to reduce natural disasters and have a stable source of water for irrigation in the future, which will also benefit them.

In doing so, local officials don't see anyone who is upset.

But Qian Rujun insisted not on following the magistrate's practice, but on her own.

The local officials were very strange, and he couldn't see that such an approach would do Qian Rujun any benefit. It seems that Qian Rujun is here to do day work.

Fortunately, local officials still have more admiration for this kind of person who does day work but really benefits himself.

So in the end, I reluctantly agreed. Anyway, he knew that the local gentry would always have a way to get their hands on the land.

When the time comes, when they do bad things, he will just open one eye and close one eye.

Local officials can't object under such circumstances, after all, Qian Rujun's approach has not caused him any losses, but it is more beneficial for him to change his approach.

Of course, he couldn't help but fight, it took half a day and wasted a lot of saliva, and finally he found that Qian Rujun's side was not easy to understand, the most important thing was that the students on Xuetang Island next to Qian Rujun were all sharp-tongued, so he had no way to talk to each other at all.

No matter what the magistrate says, there is no way to get rid of the fact that the welfare of the people is the welfare of the imperial court, and this is the correctness of the public perception.

But for local officials, this is simply not the right thing to do.

After all, the imperial court cannot openly say that the people are only responsible for producing money and grain.

The real big things need to be done by the imperial court and the local officials, after all, these local officials can be officials with a small number of Han people, and they all have a certain amount of knowledge, but they are not ordinary people, they can be local officials.

After spending so much saliva, he finally got things done, and the next thing was handed over to the students of Xuetang Island, after all, it is not so simple to organize the local people.

Ordinary people, whose lives are not in a desperate situation, are not very supportive of change.

Unfortunately, they are the first case.

They don't see the benefits yet.

Qian Rujun knew that the students of Xuetang Island, especially this group of people, had been going deep into the place for a long time.

For how to communicate with the people, naturally train a set of methods. Even if there are individual people who are not good at interpersonal communication, but a group of people, there is always no problem.

I believe that there is their communication, even if they didn't believe it at first, but because they went down to the place to convey the merits of the motor, and gradually spread in Dahan, the changes that the motor and the waterwheel can bring, maybe they haven't actually made it. But what they do has been evaluated as a good thing.

Since I go down to the place and teach the thing about the motor, and teach the waterwheel as well, for the place, Grace is rebuilt.

Generally speaking, the students of Gakudo Island are teachers to the common people, and they do not make others feel that the students of Gakudo Island are officials, because their interests are on their side.

Qian Rujun did not leave all the designers behind, but left some people to organize the people, and directed the people to design this short level.

As for the other students on the school island, in the space, he took them to another place and gathered with another group of students.

Gathering this group of students, the number has become relatively large, and what they have to do is, of course, relatively large, Qian Rujun is not nearby, but to another place that has suffered from the flood. Start the work on the design.

Here, the flow of water is much more complicated.

It's a pity that the land of Wu Chu finally had the idea of rebellion, otherwise, Qian Rujun would have chosen Yunmeng Daze and Poyang Lake first, if these two places are opened up, the bandits will be greatly reduced, and the land that will be cultivated by the Han population will be opened up.

Some of these people have designed the previous water tank, but they haven't actually built the water tank yet, and they don't know what the actual situation is.

Qian Rujun has seen it, and there is basically no problem, but Qian Rujun has not actually built a water tank, so I don't know if the water tank can be used in the end.

If it can't be used, these people who agree to invest in the transformation of the water reservoir are estimated to resent Qian Rujun.

There are also students on the school island who will also be unlucky.

The Han Chinese are a very practical people, and they have no way to endure failure.

But these people, after all, will be able to provide a second group of people to help.

Qian Rujun was ready to let these people stay in command of the second project, but now, they must train more people to do water conservancy research.

After all, there is still a very big difference in efficiency between those who have studied and those who have not studied and when they do things.

This time they took a relatively short time, in less than ten days, they designed a river that had been in place for a long time, and opened a reservoir that could irrigate ten times the previous one.

At the same time, it can solve the flood of nearly 1,000 square kilometers along the river.

Of course, this development is only on the surface, and the actual amount of work is mostly large.

Because there are many local officials and yamen to pass through this area, many counties have passed.

This place does not belong to the same county, and passes through several counties.

So Qian Rujun led this group of students to discuss with the officials of several counties.

The most troublesome thing is that this place also involves other princely states.

The Hou State is in a key position, but the Hou State has received the least benefits.

Even if he came forward as Qian Rujun, it was useless, the other party was also from the Liu Han royal family, but the blood relationship was relatively distant.

Don't think that the surname of Hou Guo is Liu, so the support for the Han will be relatively high, and many people value their own interests more, because the interests of the Han seem to be

It doesn't have much to do with them, they just eat, drink, and sleep in their own little kingdom.

They can't even go out and wander.

Of course, in this era, the atmosphere of tourism has not yet risen, and most people are limited by local officials when they want to go out, and there is no reason why it is really difficult to go out.

Unless you are a reader, you are a rare race in Dahan, so it is easier to confirm. They can travel the world, but when they go far away, they must also attach themselves to the caravan, otherwise it will be too dangerous.
