"Your father's calculations are very good." After Luo Zhao waited for everyone to return to their original positions, he said, "The Tang royal family is no longer able to control the locality, and all parties have gone their own way, and the troubled times will appear in a few years." The Central Plains has always been the most prosperous place for conquest, and everyone wants to occupy it for orthodoxy, and the strength of your father and even the entire Zhejiang Dongdao will definitely not be able to occupy the Central Plains. Rather than fleeing in the end, it is better to first settle in a corner and then try to unify. ”

Wu Liu nodded: "My father has this intention, he said: The plain is eye-catching, easy to attack and difficult to defend, and ordinary people want to occupy it for food and grass." Rather than this, it is better to retreat to the east of Zhejiang, take the mountains as the pass, and choose the mountains to farm. ”

"The mountainous area of eastern Zhejiang, different from the side, this goes to the south, stretches very widely, but the mountains are mostly not dangerous, and there are large areas of mountains that can be used to open fields. Not only that, the climate of Zhedong Province is mild, the rain is abundant, and there are many streams, so the farmland will neither lack water nor become flooded. Luo Zhao admonished.

Shen Miao couldn't help but nod when she heard this, it seems that Luo Fuzi is not only first-class in learning, but also knows agriculture clearly and meticulously.

Wu Liu also smiled and said: "My father also thinks so. ”

"In this case, the matter of opening up mountains and fields is very important. As I just said, it is not advisable to pay for the land, as soon as you start, this kind of thing will inevitably spread, and he will also ask for the same in the future, do you still pay? Luo Zhao asked.

"Naturally not." Wu Liu explained, "The current move is a last resort, and we urgently need to open up the field. If the peasant households are allowed to open their own businesses, they will have to reduce taxes in the first two or even three years, which will not be conducive to □□ rapid collection of grain and grass. However, if you pay for it, you can raise the land in the first year, and you can collect taxes normally in the second year. ”

"Then after this level, what about the follow-up development?" Luo Zhao asked.

Wu Liu replied: "The rule of paying money will not be continued in the future." ”

"The people have tasted the sweetness, if they don't pay any more, how can they push them to open their fields? Tax cuts to encourage the cultivation of land are feasible in famine years, but not in good years. Luo Zhaozhi shook his head and said.

Shen Miao nodded secretly, what he said was right, there was a world of difference between agriculture and commerce in ancient times, and farmers would never choose to do business to multiply their wealth like modern people do, once the harvest was harvested, there was really not much incentive to reclaim wasteland.

Wu Liu smiled: "The words of the edict are good, but the troubled times are coming, even if the wind and rain are smooth every year, it is difficult to eliminate the disaster, and there is a large influx of displaced people." Although taking refuge in Zhedong Province is not as good as the land of Bashu, as long as there is no war, there will naturally be people. ”

"I understand what you mean, you are betting that the Central Plains will fight for many years, and the number of displaced people is enough to reclaim the mountains of eastern Zhejiang. But what if it's not enough? Luo Zhao asked again.

"Judging from the current situation in which all parties do not give in to each other, there are only more displaced people, not less. If there is really not enough situation, there is no need to worry, the speed of early opening is already fast, and when you cancel the money to open the field, you can choose another way to do a short transition. ”

"How?"

"At present, the way of paying for the cultivation of land is to pay for the owner of the farm, and all the middle-aged farmers in the village are requisitioned for reclamation. Subsequently, it can be changed to recruit some people, and formulate certain standards for this part of the people, which will form a part of the people who have money to earn, and another part of the people who have no money to earn, and those who have no money to earn will definitely try their best to earn this money. At this time, the levy can be re-initiated, and the requisition requires that the construction period and quality must be higher than that of the other group of people, and the wages will be paid. This allows both parties to compete and shorten the construction period. Later, only the general requirements and construction period of the land can be announced. Let two or more parties compete, choose the low-priced, high-quality group of people to hire. In this way, the money spent is getting less and less, but the field is being repaired more and more, faster and faster. Wu Liudao.

Luo Zhao was speechless when he heard this.

Shen Miao looked at Wu Liu dumbfounded, isn't this the capitalist idea of competing for posts, selecting the best, and squeezing labor? Well, he didn't learn his history well, he will only be taught in the textbooks, and I really don't know if this kind of thing happened in ancient times. But regardless of whether it appears, it can be used to deal with this matter, but it will cause a problem.

Shen Miao said: "What if later, the money earned by repairing the field is getting less and less, and everyone is reluctant to open the field?" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Luo Zhaozhi glanced at Shen Miao: "At that time, the people already feel that it is not cost-effective to open fields to make money, and once the policy of tax cuts to encourage land development is announced, they will choose the latter one after another." ”

Shen Miao suddenly understood.

Luo Zhaozhi glanced at Wu Liu approvingly: "Yes, it has been carefully considered." ”

Wu Liu smiled modestly and said busily: "Although this method is feasible, it also has a fatal weakness, that is, someone must be in charge of the implementation, and it must be adjusted at any time according to the number of fields opened and the number of displaced people. However, Dong Chang intends to seize Zhexi Road, and there will be no less war in the future, and I am afraid that I will lack □□ skills. Therefore, I want to ask the edict to go out of the mountain and sit in the gate. ”

Luo Zhaozhi pointed at Wu Liu when he heard this: "It's not kind, this job is too hard, it's not pleasing to you, if you accidentally lose your fame, I think I'm this age, you can't bear to see me being scolded by the people?" ”

Shen Miao also followed and looked at Wu Liu, Wu Liu's idea of competition was good, but this was definitely a job that offended people, and it couldn't be handed over to a scholar with a reputation to do.

Wu Liu smiled and bowed his hand: "In this world, only Luo Fuzi scolds the world, how dare the people of the world spit on you?" ”

Luo Zhaozhi glared at Wu Liu fiercely when he heard this, and smiled when he was finished: "Also, this kind of work can only be done by my Luo Yin's gluttonous mouth." ”

Wu Liu hurriedly thanked him when he heard this, and Luo Zhao accepted it unceremoniously and pointed at Shen Miao: "Let's talk about it first, this matter is indispensable to him, there are many places to run back, I can't bear a handful of old bones, I have to rely on young people." ”

"It's natural, otherwise you wouldn't be so happy to accept apprentices, would you?" Wu Liudianming.

Luo Zhaozhi laughed and looked proud.

Shen Miao found out that he was inadvertently given Yin by Luo Zhao, no! Not only Luo Zhao, but Wu Liu also participated. angrily pointed at the two of them protesting, Luo Zhao turned a blind eye, and Wu Liu smiled gently.

Shen Miao was hit instantly, and her protesting heart immediately dispersed.

Monk Gu couldn't stand it anymore, and muttered to Shen Miao's side in a low voice: "Three waters, it's so easy to sell you." ”

"......" Shen Miaomo was silent.

The discussion ended at this point, the steward left the arrangement, and the rest of the people dispersed, Luo Hu helped Luo Zhao to go back to the guest room, and Monk Gu slept back in the side room again because the room was not enough, he knew that Wu Liu and Shen Miao had another toss when they went back, and they went to the kitchen to eat all night very intimately.

Wu Liu helped Shen Miaofang out of the conference hall, and then picked him up.

Shen Miao hurriedly looked around, the inner hall was for soldiers to live temporarily, there were many people, afraid of being seen.

Wu Liu smiled and said: "Monk Gu has the courage to leave so much and is so knowledgeable, how can anyone still see it?" ”

"Then I'll wait until I enter the inner house." Shen Miao whispered.

Wu Liu lowered his head and approached Shen Miao, and also whispered: "You were tired last night, and you just sat for so long, I feel distressed." ”！！！ Shen Miao suddenly felt that her face was hot again, tired last night? Distressed? Can you not say this kind of thing that makes him want to protest who did it last night, and in an instant there are no words of protest.

What a foul! Shen Miao was inside, hugged Wu Liu tightly with both arms, and buried his head in Wu Liu's arms.

He—he doesn't want to see anyone for a while!

Including Wu Liu!

Wu Liu was very satisfied when he saw this, and deliberately shook Shen Miao, hugged the person more and more, and strode towards the inner house.

Duo'er and Xiaohua had already taken care of the monk's repeated advice, put down the hot water in the dressing area of the main house, and then left, not participating in any follow-up matters.

Wu Liu kept holding Shen Miao to the bath bucket: "It's just scrubbing this morning, it's not as comfortable as a water bath, I'll help you remove your clothes and go down to wash them." ”

Shen Miao has rarely taken a water bath since he came to ancient times, and he did not have this condition in Huangjianao Village before, and later came to Beizhuang because of a chest injury and could not take a water bath for the time being. Therefore, when I saw a bucket full of warm water, I was very happy, but I ...... He glanced at Wu Liu, hesitated and said, "I'll just wash it myself." ”

Wu Liuyi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and pointed to Shen Miao's heart and said, "You have muttered in your heart a few times that I always tease you, but it turns out that you have more than I thought." ”

"......" Shen Miao was stunned, what do you mean?

Wu Liu pointed to his waist: "This injury can't be wet, how can I take a bath with you?" ”

I'll go...... Shen Miao hugged his head, after last night, he completely forgot that the injury on Wu Liu's waist actually hindered his daily life.

Wu Liu shook his head helplessly and took off Shen Miao's clothes. When Shen Miao came back to his senses, Wu Liu had already helped him get rid of everything, picked him up horizontally, and was about to put it into the water.

Sensing Wu Liu's rough palm against his skin, Shen Miao suddenly remembered last night, and his whole body began to heat up, especially somewhere.

Wu Liu deliberately turned a blind eye and looked at Shen Miao.

Shen Miao was so provoked that she simply ignored anything, held Wu Liu's face with both hands, and took the initiative to kiss it.

Wu Liu naturally accepted the gift happily, and responded enthusiastically, causing Shen Miao to retreat and let him take it.

"Huh...... Why don't you wash it first? Shen Miao barely regained her voice and said.

"Hmm...... When the meeting is over, you can sleep, and I'll take care of it for you. Wu Liu smiled.
