Chapter 199 Government Affairs

If you want to talk about Liaodong, there is another thing that has a lot of support, that is, talents and seeds, as well as livestock.

The seeds have been harvested and planted after the beginning of spring, and as for the livestock, they need to be transported after the beginning of spring, so as to avoid being sent over in winter without good care.

As for talents, they are multifaceted, including farmers and herdsmen; People who have planned villages, pastures, and people who are proficient in fruit cultivation and poultry raising.

The first order received by local officials was to restore the people's livelihood, do their best to resettle the people, and survive the winter in peace; And the second order is to count the mineral deposits in the jurisdiction, what is the grain output? What about water resources? There are also wild foods and medicinal herbs that you don't usually pay attention to.

The integration of manpower and resources is the first step of vigorous development, which is a path that later generations have come out of, especially in this era of underdeveloped machinery, which is very necessary.

Zou Yu is very fortunate that he now has two such top talents in his hands, after talking with Zou Yu for a few days. Yan Lide and Yan Liben, the two brothers, finally willingly agreed to continue to serve as the master and young master of the craftsman's supervisor.

This was due to the fact that they had seen the armor and weapons of Liaodong, and were very interested in the alloy theory, as well as many new ideas proposed by Zou Yu, such as how to drive various equipment without animals, and most importantly, how to use the power of nature.

Yan Lide went to Liaodong to find a place to build a large waterwheel, one for irrigation, and the other for mining and forging.

The waterwheel has been there for a long time, but the civil power is weak, there is no technology in some places, some places are not suitable for placement, and some places do not have both, this time the craftsman will come forward to build a canal according to the local water resources, make and place the waterwheel, and use it to irrigate the fields.

Because of the weak technical force in Liaodong, Yan Lide needs to personally lead people to go there, and here in the Central Plains, there are craftsmen who supervise some craftsmen, and they can go to various places separately.

Organizing the people to work and distributing their clothing and food is not just charity, but what they work hard to earn, so that they can not only solve the livelihood of the people, but also do things well, the key is that they will not develop the inertia of the people, so that they will not think of relying on relief when they encounter difficulties.

Truckloads of grain were shipped from Yongfeng Cang to various places, and a large number of people came out of their homes to participate in the construction work organized by the government; This is the first time in history that the government has built a large-scale convenience project for the people, and also provided food for the people, which naturally makes the people in the agricultural season rush to it, after all, three meals a day, in the people's families, is very luxurious, especially in winter.

Xue Yantuo moved inward, bringing more than 3,000 ploughing cattle, Zou Yu exchanged wool clothes for 2,000, because after the year, Xue Yantuo will also re-establish a captive pasture and concentrate on planting land, but it is enough for them to leave 1,000 cattle, after all, there are not enough cattle, and horses can also cultivate the land.

If you want to keep warm, of course, cotton clothes are indispensable, and cotton has been found after many investigations. It turns out that there is already cotton in the Central Plains, but it is a kind of wild grass cotton, which is called cotton! It is used to fill quilts, clothes, and pillows, which are collected by ordinary people in the wild, and the warmth effect is very poor, because it has no silk and cannot weave cloth.

The cotton that Zou Yu is looking for, now called Bai Diezi, belongs to an ornamental plant that blooms every two years, (cotton blooms every two years at the earliest, and then it is planted for a long time, and it is selected to slowly become an annual plant.) )

Although I don't know why it is a biennial plant, I found the real thing from Jinyang Palace, but there are not many, but fortunately, I am not in a hurry now, so Zou Yu asked people to go to Gaochang and other places to buy a large number of seeds.

According to the order from Jinyang, there are a large number of official documents from all over the country every day, and Zou Yu is so busy that his feet do not touch the ground, but fortunately, there are many people under him now, and many things do not need to be done in person, as long as he teaches some people, and then sends them out to command.

With Li Jing in charge of supervising and training soldiers, Li Keshi went to inspect various places, this is because he has a better understanding of the model of Liaodong, Zou Yu, Fang Xuanling, Xue Yuanjing, Yin Shishi and others are the busiest.

With the power of a great victory, the decrees were unimpeded, although many people still had some doubts about whether this young general could govern well, expressing concern, but they still carried out the orders, especially at the beginning, most of the decrees were towards the people's livelihood.

Decrees that are helpful to people's livelihood will certainly not have much impact, after all, it is not farming now; With the passage of time, gradually for Zou Yu, began to admire, because under the rule, the enthusiasm of the people was mobilized, and they were all in full swing to participate in the work, there was no turmoil because of the use of people's power, and the people's hearts quickly recovered and stabilized.

The canals for watering the fields with waterwheels did not need to be too big or too deep, so they were soon spread all over the place, and there were many people who knew how to carpenter, and under the guidance of the craftsmen and supervisors, the waterwheels were also erected by the river.

Because the diversion of water for irrigation, it must not be all in the river, there are also mountains and rivers, and the mountains and rivers flow along the slopes of the mountains, generally flowing into the rivers, which requires digging a large reservoir in a suitable place and then diverting the water.

Of course, there are two important tasks in the excavation of various places, that is, to dig out wells and fish ponds, basically to ensure that every village has more than two wells and two or three large fish ponds.

The first is to facilitate the people, and the second is to store water, so that it can at least last longer in the years of severe drought.

In the midst of the great development in various localities, the soldiers and soldiers have become transport teams, coming and going from south to north, going from east to west, transporting this grain and materials, and ensuring the smooth progress of the work in various places.

Now under Zou Yu's rule, there are 121 county seats, of which there are 50 county commanders, who belong to the new appointments, and these are all roughly selected from among the new recruits.

Similarly, because of the recruited scholars, the Zou family, the Lu family, and the children of the family will also be tempered and inspected in this operation.

Zou Yu is most satisfied with the fact that now in the entire Jinyang small court, up and down, no one is disagreeing, not to mention how capable they are, at least they are doing things seriously, this is an attitude, good ability does not necessarily have a solid popularity, unless you are very capable, the top will accept some small problems with you.

The most disgusting and annoying thing is that kind of person who is self-righteous and has poor ability, has a great tone, or has an arrogant attitude, and this kind of person is often not reused, let alone a confidant.
