Wang Lanling demanded that the population of the county be counted within three days, and at the same time, the inventory of the county's property should be started.

Gong Yue was too busy to go home and sleep, and Wang Lanling also stayed in the county government for two days.

"There are not many trees near Mushroom Mountain, but in general there are a lot of weeds and dead vines."

Wang Lanling looked at the topographic map that had been drawn, and this large map including Mushroom Mountain and the foot of Mushroom Mountain, as well as several nearby county seats, was quietly spread out on the long table.

"This is the location of the Immortal Water Palace."

Wang Lanling held a slender short stick and pointed to a palace pattern on the map.

"Xianshui Palace is located on the sunny side of the mountain, three thousand meters away from the county seat, and there are several mountain streams above."

This time, Wang Lanling discussed with everyone whether he would burn himself after setting fire to the mountain.

Fire and water are ruthless, and if you want to use it, you need to be cautious and cautious.

Wang Lanling didn't want to just light a fire here, and a strong wind came over there and blew the mountain fire down the mountain.

This kind of thing should be the business of the Forestry Bureau and the Meteorological Bureau, and Wang Lanling currently lacks talents in this area.

There are not many talents in Heishui County, and many people will not follow Wang Lanling, so Wang Lanling feels more and more helpless that no one is available.

If it is not enough, it must be cultivated, Wang Lanling gathered more than a dozen people around him to do things together, so that they could grow up as soon as possible.

"Heishui County has also had the prevention of wildfires, so everyone is basically aware of some things, and this fire will definitely be bigger, and there are more aspects that need to be paid attention to."

"First of all, the weather, I learned this aspect when I was in Tongzhou, Tongzhou has a few days of windy weather every summer and autumn, and sometimes there will be the kind of tornado that lifts the house into the air, mainly wooden houses, so the main buildings in Tongzhou are mostly stone."

"This kind of thing can't happen in Longzhou, because Longzhou and Shanzhou don't share a border, and there is a mountain range between Longzhou and Tongzhou to block these hurricanes."

"The hurricanes in Tongzhou mainly come from the two places, and most of the areas of Tongzhou and the state are plain areas with no slopes, so the hurricanes can easily enter the hinterland."

"Hurricanes here will gradually dissipate in Tongzhou's Tongtian Lake due to topography, and the impact will be negligible each year."

Wang Lanling said some things about Tongzhou, and a large part of his authority actually came from his superiors.

Now occasionally talking about something from the outside world helps to increase one's authority.

"The topography of Mushroom Mountain is different from the mountains in Heishui County, although they are all mountains and stones, but the difference in the nearby places has a huge impact, and what changes will be made by the airflow that drives the flames when it encounters mountain walls and obstacles, these are extremely complex knowledge."

Wang Lanling has never had an in-depth understanding of this kind of thing.

The first is that it is not used, and the second is that if you want to develop in this field, you need a long learning time and a strong knowledge reserve.

Wang Lanling can't do this, and he doesn't have the ability to become a meteorologist.

"If any of you want to be the director of the Forestry Department, you have to give me corresponding results in this kind of thing!"

Wang Lanling looked at these people who followed him, "There are several positions in the county, where capable people live, who can write a complete report based on the burning of the mountain, an analysis of the extreme impact on the fire, and the trend and development after the ignition, then I will reuse whom!" ”

"Don't write anything about sycophancy in the article, I want to read a technical report!"

Although Wang Lanling himself would do that kind of flattering thing, he didn't want his subordinates to be that kind of people.

Everyone agreed in unison: "Yes!" ”

Wang Lanling still has a lot of things to discuss with others, these people are not as good as Wang Lanling in the matter of fire, so Wang Lanling can only discuss with them about exterminating the bandits.

These people are not good at government affairs and prevention, and are good at more direct knife things.

"My opinion is that large-scale firepower coverage, just like the bow moon is worried, it is easy to kill people in a direct shootout."

Wang Lanling expressed his opinion.

Zhao Gongqian quickly said: "No, what we want to rectify is not the more than 100 mountain rats, there are still many bandits near Shanhai County, in addition to this, we also need some military precautions, and we can't waste all the gunpowder shells in the ravine." ”

Iron Jinqi followed: "Yes, my lord, now that the copper mine has just begun to clean and recruit people, there are not many copper pieces that can be made before winter, so it is better to save a little bit of this thing." ”

Lin Zunian thought that Wang Lanling was angry with those horse thieves, so he said: "Li Jianzhu and they have already found the hiding place of the bandits, my lord wait a day, and he should be able to arrest several bandit leaders back today." ”

Gao Wangshan said: "Yes, Tao Kun and Guo Shujiu have already led people to go, our guns and ammunition should be used to deter Xiaoxiao, and they can't be wasted on those horse thieves. ”

This time, Li Jianzhu was not the only one who caught the thief in the past, Tao Kun, Guo Shujiu, Dong Guo Zai, Fang Xuan, Tong Yue and others, a total of ten good players, and the horseman who drove the car was also a master.

These people are much better than guns and bullets.

Wang Lanling saw that everyone didn't understand his thoughts, so he said: "It's not to arrest people, but to establish prestige, many people are willing to sell my face and give me convenience, just because I have prestige." ”

"The prestige thing is made and played!"

Wang Lanling said seriously: "How many things we have in our hands, only a few people know, these are secrets, and we are not allowed to ask the people in charge of these things in the future!" ”

"Now people don't know this, but they definitely understand that we don't have much in our hands."

"This is a very common idea, I want to wash the floor with artillery fire and smash several cottages, just to establish my authority and let others know that the rumor that the offender will die is not a rumor."

"Only by letting the nearby Xiaoxiao know what will happen to me will they really think about the necessity and unnecessity of offending us."

Without majesty, many things are not easy to do.

Zhao Gongqian understood what Wang Lanling meant, "Wouldn't this be too big and overused?" ”

Wang Lanling said solemnly: "Forget about the three thieves' dens now, let the thieves be arrested and disposed of first, and then gather people in a few days to directly fire and wash the rest of the places, and we must let the people in the county and nearby know what we are doing!" ”

"Yes......" Zhao Gongqian could only agree, Wang Lanling is the largest here.

Wang Lanling continued: "When looking for a thief's den on the mountain, I also wrote down some trees on the mountain, and those that could be protected were protected, and those that could not be protected were forgotten. ”

Hu Santu, who had been quiet on the side, suddenly said at this time: "My lord, when I was in Heishui County before, I had a puzzled place, why didn't my lord directly use wool to spin, but I had to go to great lengths to grow cotton?" ”

Wang Lanling looked at the person who spoke.

Time is always very fast for children, and when I met Hu Santu for the first time, Hu Santu was still a cowardly teenage boy.

Now Hu Santu is already a fourteen-year-old boy, and Wang Lanling is already the director of the Department of Dung at this age.

Wang Lanling said: "There are many reasons, there are limitations in the textile process, there are also reasons for scale, compared with the quality of wool, the quality and grain production of cotton are relatively stable, and it is easier to obtain." ”

Hu Santu said puzzledly: "Isn't it easier to obtain wool?" Cotton also needs to find a special place to grow cotton, and wool only needs to be sheared. ”

The best is the silk that is stripped of the cocoon, that is, the sericulture system supported by the mulberry tree.

Wang Lanling said slowly: "The simple acquisition of wool is based on the premise that you have sheep at home, and what you can use is the sheep in your hand, and cotton can be planted in advance as needed, compared to the cost and risk of taking care of sheep and goats, the income of planting cotton is higher." ”

Hu Santu quickly said with admiration: "I see, I understand." ”

"No, I'm not done yet, you don't understand the problem at all." Wang Lanling still has something to say.

He continued: "The main reason why we chose to grow cotton instead of mulberry silk and wool is that there are a lot of issues involved. ”

"Mulberry is a relatively serious thing, and it is easy to touch."

"The wool is because there is a market, and the wool market has always been a very small scale before we set foot in it, and the demand in many places in Heishui County and Muzhou is not high, even in Muzhou, at most, the herdsmen themselves use it."

"What sheep herding needs is land and pasture, and this is the main reason why I don't develop this."

"Once the demand for wool increases, then the breeding area will be expanded, and neither Heishui County nor Yunzhou has such terrain conditions, and it is impossible for Tongzhou to use the land here."

"So when the land issue happens, it will cause a lot of things, and even the Muzhou side will be watched by more and more bureaucrats, and some people who originally farmed the land will be affected."

"The land here in Muzhou is a land enclosure model, but the land needs a population to manage, I don't think some people will come to enclose the land themselves, most of them will send some people to manage it."

"In short, since growing cotton can reduce risks and a series of problems, then it is natural to grow cotton."

The increase in the price of wool will cause a lot of unnecessary problems.

In addition, growing cotton is safer than sheep herding, with less investment and quick results.

Hu Santu felt that many things were complicated, and Lord Wang had been thinking about many problems that he was not aware of.

The rest of the people didn't think that this was something that needed to be asked before, but now listening to Wang Lanling's explanation, they really feel worthy of Lord Wang!

While Wang Lanling was having a meeting with his subordinates, the old emperor of Longzhou issued another decree that needed to be conveyed to all parts of the empire.

All counties, counties, and state capitals, including Blackwater County, will receive this regulation.

First, we reiterate once again the necessity of strengthening household registration control, and require all localities to review the population within their borders, and severely punish those who do not have household registration! If you find illegal movement of people across state lines, investigate thoroughly!

Second, it is forbidden to do business in other places, ordinary merchants are not allowed to go out of the county, officials are not allowed to do business outside the county, and royal family members are not allowed to sell goods and materials to other states.

Third, all localities should do a good job in the resettlement of people who have gone to the mountains and the countryside, and if these young and talented people are willing to stay in the local area, they must handle household registration and provide accommodation and living materials for them.

These regulations and requirements were not the thoughts of the old emperor alone, but the way in which some problems of the empire were handled.

Both the prime minister and the rest of the ministers understood that this was the best way to keep the empire going.

The population of each state is different.

There are fewer people, and many things in the state can't work.

If there are too many people, there will be an imbalance in resources.

This is the case with the empire, although only 100 million of the more than a billion people are considered people, if these 100 million people want to squeeze into this dragon city, then it will not be fun.

Many territories need population, and some military garrisons need population to support and solve many problems of garrisons.

Therefore, the establishment of a household registration system, restricting the movement of the population, and fixing the common people in one place is for the purpose of planning the distribution of resources.

The emperor asked the people of any place to do what the people of this place should do, instead of a billion people competing for that bit of high-quality resources together.

From the point of view of the superior people, there is no problem in doing so, it is rational.

From the idea of inferior people, it is a prince and a general, rather a kind? Why should we farm for generations, and you will be prosperous and rich for generations?

The empire is too strong that everything that can be regarded as an enemy from the outside has been wiped out, or naturalized, so it cannot be replaced according to historical periodicity.

So even if it's Wang Lanling...... Gong Yueman did not propose a plan to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and the old emperor would also dilute some people after things were crowded to a certain extent.

Kill!

This is the most in line with the means of the old emperor.

The crudest, simplest, and most direct and effective means.

With the blessing of strong military power and imperial power, although the old emperor's way of dealing with problems was not as civilized as Wang Lanling, it was definitely a thousand times more efficient than Wang Lanling.

Despite this, this relatively modest plan to go to the mountains and go to the countryside is still full of hatred.

In response to the call, the local state capitals diluted some of the city's young people.

The plan to go to the mountains and go to the countryside is definitely a surprise for those in power everywhere!

It's up to them to decide who goes and who stays!

Leaving the state capital to exercise elsewhere is already equivalent to exile.

A year after the call to go to the mountains and to the countryside, it has become an excellent means for those in power everywhere to suppress and eliminate dissidents, or to settle old and new hatreds.

In the post station of Heishui County, a group of officers from Shanzhou were stationed.

A few soldiers in military uniforms, and a group of young ladies who had just died of their father.

These people are not from Shanzhou, they are from Senzhou, they are people who go to the mountains and go to the countryside, and the end point is not Heishui County, but Shanhai County in Muzhou.

Their father who just died is called Wang Xuanyan.
