Chapter 771: The Flotilla

However, Su oil also sets a lot of constraints for them.

The powerful people who participated in the purchase of land, and then hired the civil power under their names, must be filed with the Transit Division, and the annual rent interest shall not exceed two and a half cents.

Again, the constraints are two-sided, and there is a prerequisite for such a low interest rate, that is, the employees are also not allowed to default on payments at will, resist taxes and rents, otherwise the government has the responsibility to intervene.

This point is traditional in the Great Song Dynasty, the general landlord households, three years can only receive two years of rent, Su You's move, in fact, a bit of a taste of the three twilight, change the soup without changing the medicine, everyone also understands, expressed acceptance.

But what the heroes don't know is that the medicine has been changed.

The Taihu Lake Water Conservancy Project will ensure that the cultivated land in the lake area will not be affected by drought and flood in the future, so this rent reduction clause is actually extremely beneficial to the tenants.

There is also a hidden killer weapon lurking inside, that is, every country will encounter a situation where land resources are becoming more and more scarce and there are more and more idle labor.

But Su You knew that this was actually an illusion, as long as the Western Xia and Liao countries were dealt with, and then after the sea transportation was developed, the Song people would find that in this world, there was an inexhaustible land for the flower people.

This clause, which clearly defines the relationship between the tenant and Haoqiang as a contractual employment relationship, seems to be beneficial to Haoqiang, because they can terminate the contract at any time, which is equivalent to holding the lifeblood of the tenants.

However, when the great changes come, when the Great Song Dynasty finally has a situation where the land is greater than the demand, the landless tenants can immediately choose to leave, and Haoqiang has completely given up the binding force on them in this clause today.

It's a bit like the age of the dinosaurs, where all creatures were evolving towards bigger and stronger, and they never thought that when the sky changed, they would become extinct because of their size. Rather, it is those who are smaller, consume less food, are better at avoiding species, and eventually become the masters of the planet.

So on the surface, this is a feast for the powerful, from the hands of the government, a third of the new land has been divided, nearly 50,000 hectares of fertile land.

Of course, this also greatly reduced the pressure on Su oil, not only politically, but also economically.

Now the remaining 130,000 hectares of land are planned to be developed in five years, not with money as Zhang Dian estimated.

There are too many places to spend money on Liangzhejiang Road, and agriculture accounts for one-third of it at most.

Most of the rest, was spent on industry and commerce.

So Su You is not as rich as Zhang Dian imagined.

This is a process in which the financial situation is gradually improving, the scale of the economy is gradually expanding, various industries are gradually becoming fuller, and the people's income is gradually increasing.

There is also the process of the slow release of inflation.

If you really want to do it as Zhang Dian thought, not only will there be no *** on the Liangzhejiang Road, but you will have to go back 20 years if you don't do it, or jump directly into the situation at the end of the feudal empire where the powerful occupy an area of thousands of hectares and the poor have no cone.

In November, Su You once again ascended to Daishan Mountain in Changguo and held a grand and grand begging wind sacrifice to the sea.

“…… Those who rely on it for public and private purposes are also prosperous. When the ship arrives and from time to time, the wind also. And the one who can make the wind obey the law without being discouraged, God also. It is a state-owned ritual, a minister who guards the land, and prays again at the age of one. ”

The city ship division has to sacrifice twice a year, once in April, to worship the south wind, the purpose is to "pray for the ship"; Once in November, the north wind was sacrificed for the purpose of "sending the ship".

Two ships of 5,000 materials of the Hangzhou type, four ships of 3,000 materials of Kuizhou type, and ten ships of 1,000 materials Meishan type. A fleet of sixteen of the world's most advanced schooners with a total displacement of 32,000 materials and a total cargo capacity of 2,400 tons!

This behemoth cost the Great Song Dynasty a huge amount of people's manpower, material resources and funds, and looted a large number of copper coins, gold and silver coins, silk, tea, and porcelain in the official and private warehouses of Liangzhejiang Road, Jinghu South and North Road, and Sichuan Gorge Fourth Road......

Dong Fei's luck is always so against the sky, he was stunned to catch up with the last opportunity to set off, and in the fleet, he also added 5,000 pieces of exquisite glazed ware that he got from the inner library to transport grain to Hebei.

The senior commanders of the fleet included Zhang San, Qian Kejiu, Shao Bowen, Ai Erpu, and Pu Li...... There are also elites of Liangzhejiang Road Shipping, as well as financial and accounting professionals of Sitong Firm.

The sailors of the fleet were mainly from Changguk. Therefore, this time to worship the sea, Su You pulled the fleet over, one is to carry out the overall coordinated seaworthiness training in the Zhoushan Inland Sea, and the other is to let the fathers and elders of Changguo review the ability of their children and cheer them up.

The maritime merchants are all big dogs, and the sacrificial activities are grand and enthusiastic.

The sea god was the dragon king at the earliest, and the wind god was the first to be "Fei Lian" and "Feng Bo", and now with the prosperity of the maritime industry, there are more and more gods, and there are more than a dozen of them.

In addition to the true gods, the ships themselves were endowed with divinity by the people who made their lives by sea.

For example, the large shaft at the bottom of a schooner is called a "keel"; the high bow of the ship, known as the "dragon's head"; The anchor holes on both sides of the dragon's head are called "dragon eyes"; The mast is from the main to the secondary, and is called the "Great General", "Second General", all the way to the "Seven General".

Su You is getting lazy and lazy now, and there are a bunch of gunmen under his hands, so the articles used for the sacrifice do not need him to do it himself, and Qin Guan and Chao Buzhi have written it for him.

Now this baby is on the altar, wearing a purple robe of the second grade Shaobao, pretending to read someone else's article: "...... The gods are great, the waves are clear, and the boats are safe. Sail with the wind, a thousand miles in a day, and no stalks, which is the great wish of the officials and the people. I would like to give you a first reply. ”

Then in the big silver furnace incineration, the wine sacrifice, led Changguo County from Long Jicai, Wang Dejia and below, all the officials and people, prostrate and pray, looking forward to a smooth trip, their own children, can return safely.

After the sacrifice is over, it is the farewell banquet, the fathers and elders take out their best food, and set up a long street banquet on the main street of Changguo, so that their children can eat their hometown dishes again and drink a sip of hometown wine.

After a few months of training, the children have some basic sense of cooperation and military temperament, and the fathers and elders looked at the heroic and eager to make contributions, smiled and patted their shoulders to encourage, turned around and secretly wiped the tears from the corners of their eyes.

No matter how much family affection and tears are reluctant, the north wind is finally here.

Su You and Zhang San held their wine glasses, looking at the huge sea ships in the bay, and couldn't help sighing.

These sixteen sea-going ships are the highest technological, military, and economic achievements accumulated by Su You, which led the Song people after 20 years of arduous exploration, ragged creation, and step by step to today.

Every plank, every sail, every rope, and every password is the crystallization of the sweat, wisdom and hard work of countless people.

The bristle brushes used to brush the deck alone have undergone several generations of transformation, and those bristles are all the benefits brought by the huge number of livestock slaughtered after the steer captive technology matured.

The lubricating oil and butter used to maintain guns and lubricate iron parts are inorganic oils obtained in the petroleum and coal industry, as well as the best animal oil that the Great Song Dynasty can get now, whale oil.

The two looked at the tears in each other's eyes, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and Zhang San wiped his eyes to hide it: "Young master, this article called the wind is powerful, dog's day, the wind is really getting stronger and stronger." ”

Su You also smiled: "The Japanese are the old breed of Xu Fu Dongdu, Sister-in-law Ping is okay to say, if you get some blonde and blue-eyed girls back, be careful that Hachiko beats your ass!" ”

Zhang San laughed: "The person brought out by the young master will recognize one in his life." The big husband is ambitious all over the world, and he can find a confident man in the girl, so what kind of man is it? ”

Su You sighed: "I really should tell Wang Yuma about this." ”

After speaking, he turned to Shao Bowen and said: "Wait for the boat to pass Ma Liujia and find a good observation point to the west, you will come back quickly, don't forget to promise the Ping family kid to catch ghosts for others, by the way, what has the Ping family kid been doing recently?" ”。

Shao Bowen looked at the Red Song Flag on the high mast of the ship on the sea, and smiled loudly: "He is also busy designing family crests, but now he is still struggling, whether it is better to use feather butterflies or peaches." ”

Su You: "......"
