Thirty miles northwest of Yecheng, there is a north-south fifty miles of Fu Mountain, the northeast of Fu Mountain is Handan, so this mountain has become the gateway of Zhao Wei two counties, in order to reflect the determination to protect Zhao Wei, Tian Kai set up his Sixth Army headquarters on Fu Mountain.

The east of Xiangtang Mountain is the Hebei Plain of a horse flat river, the west is a small piece of flat land of twenty miles, and then there are two mountains, respectively called Shijiling and Happy Horse Mountain, these two mountains are further west, is the endless Taihang Mountains.

The small basin between Shiji, Paoma and Taihang Mountain is Baitu Pass, an important stronghold of the Montenegrin Army, where tens of thousands of Montenegrin soldiers are alive, and its commander is the Montenegrin Army general Tao Sheng.

At the same time, this passage is also one of the eight paths of Taihang.

Ma Qiang sat in the carriage, put down the drawings in his hand and asked, "How far is it to Yecheng?" ”

Huang Xu's voice came from outside, "It's less than ten miles, and Wang Junshou is already waiting outside the Yecheng Gate." ”

"Speed up, don't let him wait too long, Yecheng is in ruins, and he has a lot of things." Ma Qiang handed the drawings to Guo Jia on the side and said, "Tian Kai's idea is good, build a military fort at the north and east entrances of Baitu Pass, which is the first line of defense, and Wu'an County and Fushan are the second line of defense, and completely seal the Fukou Pass." Yuan Shao and Zhang Yan actually gave up directly with antennas like Fushan, this is their mistake. ”

Guo Jia took it and looked at it, stroked his beard and said with a smile, "There are still more than 20 miles between Fushan and Baitu Pass, and Wu'an is in the hands of our army, our army can completely cut off the communication between the two sides, and trap the enemy on the barren mountain. ”

"I don't know how Yuan Shao is now." Ma Qiang lifted the curtains of the car and looked at the surrounding fields.

The aborigines near Yecheng were basically moved to Bingzhou by Yuan Shaoqiang, so the division of land here is going very smoothly, although the houses have been burned, but Ma Qiang has nothing else, the sheep felt tent is enough, and the countless wool purchased from Wuhuan over the years has become a variety of fabrics and hoarded in Ma Qiang's warehouse.

Therefore, there is a strange scene in the central Hebei region, which is obviously the heart of the Han region, but there are no houses to be seen, but tents full of grassland atmosphere abound.

I don't know, I think it's going to be a great fusion of nationalities.

When the team came to Yecheng, Ma Qiang got out of the carriage and accepted Wang Xiu and others to meet him, and then walked up to the city wall with Wang Xiu to overlook Yecheng, and he could see that there were burned houses everywhere.

"Isn't the reconstruction of Yecheng going well? With so many places in the city empty, why don't you let the people into the city? Ma Qiang asked.

"Hui Ming Gongyan, most of the original people in Yecheng were moved in by Yuan Shaoqiang, and now seventy or eighty percent of the people in Jizhou have just migrated, in order to grab time for spring ploughing, the time to build houses will be postponed first, and when spring ploughing is over, the county government will prepare to organize the people to build houses." Wang Xiu said to Ma Qiang.

Ma Qiang nodded understandingly, and then asked, "Is the spring plowing going well now?" What's the difficulty? ”

Wang Xiu arched his hand and said, "But there are difficulties, the biggest problem is that there are not enough livestock, now there are few people in the field, a family has to cultivate hundreds of small acres of fields, some even three or four hundred small acres, it is really difficult to take care of it only by manpower."

In addition, most of the people who come here have no savings, so they cannot buy good farm tools, and the efficiency of farming is even lower. ”

Ma Qiang looked at Mi Zhu, who had come to Yecheng with him, and said with a smile, "God of Wealth, think of a way, I think this is not just a problem in Wei County." ”

In fact, Ma Qiang had already learned about these problems from official documents in various places before he set off from Guangzong, so Mi Zhu had already prepared a plan.

"Ming Gong, Wang Junshou, and Dongfang Qian Zhuang can provide low-interest loans to farmers with land deeds, and this loan is only three millicents a year, but the money borrowed can only be used to buy farm tools in designated shops."

"Designated shops?" Wang Xiu frowned and asked.

"Yes, at that time, the money village will not give the farmer money, but a voucher with a special mark, only the designated shops can take the voucher to the money to exchange money, this is also to prevent some fools from taking money to squander, rest assured, the price of these shops will be set by the Zhenbei General's Mansion The highest price, will not let them sit on the ground and raise the price."

Wang Xiu felt justified when he heard it, and said happily, "This method is very good, but the spring plowing time is urgent, and I don't know if it's too late." ”

"In time, Dongfang Qianzhuang has united with the Plains Iron Factory, and the Iron Factory is making every effort to build new agricultural tools this winter, which will soon be transported by water."

Ma Qiang listened to the conversation between Mi Zhu and Wang Xiu, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly.

This model is not only to provide farmers with agricultural tools, but also to collect agricultural taxes by realizing the difference in scissors through the unequal exchange of the value of industrial and agricultural products.

Although the farm tools in the designated shops are the best ones, the price will be much higher than the blacksmith shops outside, but even so, even in the face of the fields that may not be able to be cultivated, even the most expensive farm tools must be bought.

In today's Jizhou, abandoning the land for no reason is a big crime.

Of course, this kind of scissors will not let him continue forever, when the industry develops, it is time for industry to supplement agriculture, because at that time the government can already collect enough taxes from industry and commerce, but in order to stabilize agricultural output, it needs to continue to subsidize agriculture.

You don't see, in later generations of China, farming from the beginning of the tax to the government to subsidize, even so, a hundred catties of corn for three or four catties of pork phenomenon still makes the number of farmers smaller and smaller.

What's more, it is unthinkable that the people can eat enough now, and no one cares about such a thing as being cut with scissors after farming and eating.

As the saying goes, what is worse than being exploited has no value in being exploited.

Mi Zhu issued an order on the spot to support farmers with low-interest loans to various local banks, and in the last winter, telegraph stations were set up in all counties and counties of Jizhou, so this order was spread throughout Jizhou in less than an hour.

The Oriental Money Village in Yecheng was opened on the edge of the Neiwu Wei Corps, which has basically become a practice for the opening of Qian Zhuang in various places.

No way, there are too many outlaws these days.

There are internal guards to maintain order, and when Ma Qiang came to the scene, he saw a neat and tidy line.

If you ignore the internal military guard sergeant holding a stick on the side, Ma Qiang will sigh that the literacy of the Han people has surpassed that of most of the earthlings after 1,800 years.

"In addition to farm tools, after the spring ploughing is over, you can also push another housing loan, I think there are so many empty houses in Yecheng City, there should be many people who want to live in." Ma Qiang remembered the mortgage of later generations, how many people have worked hard all their lives to pay off this broken thing, and because of this thing, young people will never dare to resign at will as long as they get married and buy a house.

Later generations of Huaxia said that if the post-00s were disobedient leaders, I would resign, and after the 90s, the leaders would scold me and resign.

But in fact, ten or twenty years ago, why didn't society say the same thing about the post-80s.

It's just that the post-80s generation had a mortgage and couldn't do it.

If you think about it carefully, the leaders of the post-80s generation didn't listen to me, so I took a few friends of the company out to open a company and work against the boss, and after the 60s, the leaders dared to scold me, and I dared to scold back, and the leaders couldn't fire me.
