The emperor is very busy every day, if Wang Lanling can't continue to surprise him, then he will soon forget about this person in various things.

For several ministers and prime ministers of the empire, Wang Lanling is a name they will remember, but that's all, no one will take that kid to heart, they are so busy with daily things that they don't have time to waste.

A month later, the emperor received another report written by Wang Lanling.

This time the report was simple and did not surprise the emperor.

Another point is that the emperor is clear about what Wang Lanling has done, and the state pastor of Yunzhou and Jiang Xinzhi of Yunshui County both mentioned Wang Lanling's matter a little in the report.

Here is a preconceived impression, the state pastor and the county guard know very well how to deceive and conceal the superior, and they both know how to make Wang Lanling lose power.

Neither of them directly dealt with Wang Lanling, nor did they embarrass Wang Lanling in anything, they just ignored it.

But both of them tacitly told the emperor some boring things, so in the emperor's impression, Wang Lanling has not done anything recently.

When he saw Wang Lanling's request to study and get married in Heishui County, the emperor simply agreed, he was very busy and had a lot to do.

【Accurate】

After giving the instructions, the Emperor threw the report aside, picked up a new one and began to read it.

"Wang Lanling has made great efforts to control the water, and the surrounding places have not been promoted to the rank of townsman because of the disaster."

If you have merit, you should be rewarded, this is what the emperor should do, so the emperor still gave Wang Lanling a reward.

The title level here is divided into country, state, county, county, town, township (village), and there is also a title of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, which is more special.

The public is an entry, a threshold, and can be understood as a national talent.

There are also small stages in several major stages, for example, there are definitely more titles in the county town than in the town and village, and there are more talents, so there will be more hierarchical distinctions.

In a broken place like the countryside, there is generally only one person with a title, so there is naturally no need to divide it too finely.

There are ninth-class titles at the national level, and the Holy Emperor is a prince and a prince.

The saint is given to the outstanding emperor who died, and no matter how big it is, it can't be bigger than the father.

The emperor is the current emperor and belongs to the only one.

The emperor is the prince and the queen.

Wang is a few people who followed the first emperor to fight the world decades ago, and they are all dead.

The duke is mainly hereditary princes, because the hereditary is reduced by one rank, so it is mainly this, and there are also the current emperor's cronies, which are relatively few.

The state-level title is the seventh class, and in addition to the fifth rank of the prince and the boy, there are also people who have made meritorious deeds and have land and property here, or where the emperor's sons and daughters collect taxes.

Counties and states are about the same, and there is no difference in rank, but the way to promote the knighthood can already rely on its own merits, and the promotion and reduction of the title are more frequent.

The county seat is the fifth class, and many county towns are places where some big public taxes are collected, but they are almost gone.

Generally, only those who have made great contributions or followed the emperor to open the country will have the title of county duke, and the rest are the highest county dukes.

Unlike the rest of the dynasties, the empire was vast, so it was generous in terms of titles.

The old emperor has been trying to take back the large amount of land to the state, but he is not stingy with land rewards, but he is unwilling to give that kind of hereditary reward.

He advocated that when people die, things come back.

Towns and villages are not so particular, only the title of Bo, Bo is the uncle of Sun Bofu, which means the boss.

Each place will not place two people with titles, one is that the court does not allow people with titles to be connected in series, and the other is that the court also collects taxes, and it is necessary to ensure that the amount of land that does not need to pay taxes in each place is within a reasonable range.

Wang Lanling's order to be promoted to the rank of Xiangxian was quickly transmitted to Heishui County, and Dongfang Wei and others held a special meeting to discuss this matter.

This is good news for Dongfangwei.

Wang Lanling was not promoted, he still maintained his original position, but only increased his title by one level.

What Dongfang Wei is most afraid of is that Wang Lanling will be promoted to governor, and then he will change from his subordinate to his boss at that time, which is definitely not a good thing!

Until this moment, Dongfang Wei was finally relieved.

Dongfang Wei said: "Lanling, the title of the township earl is 200 acres of land, 7,000 catties per year, a house, a donkey, two servants, and some of your princess's titles are available, and you can make up as much as you want from the township uncle." ”

Wang Lanling nodded and said, "This hundred acres of land, do I choose it from near the county or from the township?" ”

Dongfang Wei looked at Zhou Wende, and Zhou Wende quickly said: "The public servant is given nearby, and the township uncle should still go to the township to choose." ”

After a pause, Zhou Wende quickly recalled for two seconds, and said quickly: "What kind of land does Director Wang want, whether it is close to the county seat or not, whether it is the result of farming or growing vegetables, I know this very well, basically I know some things." ”

Wang Lanling has a great demand for land, and has been thinking about buying some more land, so he knows very well what land he wants.

"The land suitable for growing cotton, I am working with the people in the craftsman's workshop to make a loom, and I need the land to grow cotton."

There was nothing more suitable for a commodity than cloth, and the steam engine itself was a technology that went hand in hand with the textile industry.

More goods, higher profits, will in turn stimulate the improvement of technology, Wang Lanling did not know why the last time the steam engine appeared did not lead to the rise of the textile industry, he decided to do it again.

There were too many problems with the imperial system, and if we were to illustrate it with the cloth produced by the textile industry, it was that the empire practiced a system of supply and distribution, not a system of commodity purchase.

Money can't buy anything, people's wealth can't be digested, just like ancient paper, it took hundreds of years to gradually precipitate to the lower classes.

Zhou Wende recalled and said: "Forty miles away from the south of the county seat, there is a place called Baishan Township, where there is a large area of public land planted with cotton, a total of 60,000 acres of land, including more than 40,000 acres of private land, but you can't directly give you 100 acres of cotton field, the harvest is not easy to say." ”

The public land has to be accounted for, and there are losses, but a hundred acres are definitely not easy to pass.

Wang Lanling said: "This nature, what other fields are there besides cotton fields? Are they all wheat? ”

Zhou Wende explained: "It's not clear about the specifics, there are 500 farmers over there, and they all grow everything, mainly soybeans, sesame seeds and cotton. ”

Wang Lanling said quickly: "Then I want sixty acres of cotton fields, twenty acres of soybeans, and twenty acres of sesame seeds. ”

It's okay to have Wang Lanling's words, Zhou Wende looked at Dongfang Wei, Dongfang Wei nodded and said: "No need, this year's flooding has flooded some places, the harvest in the field is not good, and I don't know what happened over there, you can go over with Wang Lanling to have a look." ”

Embezzlement!

Corruption has never been something that one person can decide, and at this time, Dongfang Wei's meeting gathered the giants of Heishui County, and everyone unanimously decided on some things.

Dongfang Wei spoke, and this matter has nothing to do with the rest of the people, so everyone naturally can't go against Wang Lanling.

Zhou Wende nodded, "That's it." ”

Wang Lanling asked, "How many people are there over there?" ”

Zhou Wende said: "There are more than 100 families in total, about 800 people. ”

Wang Lanling calculated for a moment, and said suspiciously: "Can 800 people plant 40,000 acres of land?" ”

"No problem." It was Yan Jinshan of Nongsang Division who replied, he and Wang Lanling did not deal with each other, and said calmly at this time:

"The most tiring thing is rice, followed by wheat, cotton and the like are much lighter, and there are few rice growers in our county. Harvest vegetables (rape) before the summer, wheat after the summer, beans at the beginning of autumn, and cotton in the autumn. "As long as the harvest time is staggered, it is not a problem for one laborer to take care of 100 acres of land."

After Yan Jinshan explained, he sneered: "This year, because of Lord Wang's rise to forced labor, it has saved a lot of effort, and this account will look good!" ”

Although Wang Lanling arranged for people to help harvest the wheat, the sowing was delayed, especially some large families who needed a lot of labor to help their own farming and harvesting suffered heavy losses, and many wheat and crops were rotten in the ground.

Wang Lanling thought about Yan Jinshan's words, he didn't doubt the words of this kind of professional, just like Zhou Wende could memorize the situation of more than 300 villages, Yan Jinshan definitely knew more about crops than Wang Lanling.

The tragedy of the peasants here is stronger than Wang Lanling imagined.

Some people would rather pick up manure than farm.

It is not practical to develop commerce and trade by wishful thinking, and Wang Lanling also needs to solve the problem of agriculture, otherwise he will be 100% punished if he is involved in the matter of grain.

The Water Affairs Department is all the people promoted by Wang Lanling, and the Environmental Sanitation Department is even more so, where is Wang Lanling's basic plate, even if Wang Lanling is not in the position of the director, it is also his opinion.

The new director of the Water Affairs Department and the next director of the Environmental Sanitation Department, unless they are geniuses, will be 100% overshadowed by Wang Lanling's doglegs!

So Wang Lanling wanted to change places to sit, such as Nongsang Si, who had already had an idea!

Yan Jinshan does know more than him, but this person's knowledge will not be used to solve people's livelihood problems, and he will not reduce the burden of the people below.

So, let's abdicate and make way for Xian!

A new round of struggle in Heishui County is about to begin......
