Chapter 557 Water Conservancy Farmland

Wang Anshi was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Su You patiently explained: "After the prosperity of Shuzhong Salt Seiko, Wudi merchants mostly used the products of the two roads in the south of the Yangtze River and transported them to Kuizhou for exchange. ”

"In order to reduce transportation costs, they united with Shuzhong merchants to carry out land development on Jinghu South and North Road, planting rice, ramie, and breeding silkworms."

"Jinghu two roads, in addition to the two big lakes of Pengli and Dongting, there is also Chaohu Lake between Luchao; Paulownia, pond between the Nabashi Lake; Hukou, Lei Chi north of Pengze; The southwest of Pengli, covering the entire Ganjiang River system of Jiangnan West Road, is a promising place. ”

"However, due to the miasma, most of the fields that have been developed today are still around the towns, and because there is no state leadership, it is impossible to build large-scale water conservancy projects, so the development is relatively slow and the scale is relatively small."

"Everything has advantages and disadvantages, in the same way, there are disadvantages and advantages, in the land of water in the south of the Yangtze River, there are many mosquitoes, insects and snake miasma, but once the excess water is discharged, the land is full of fertility, and farming is much easier than in the north."

"When Nozawa turns into fertile land, the mosquitoes dissipate; When thorns become villages, the plague disappears. To achieve these two points, it is necessary to cooperate with the village health and epidemic prevention regulations, personal health and epidemic prevention regulations, mosquito nets, mosquito coils, medicines and other guarantees. ”

"Shuzhong has also developed a lot of farming tools, such as Meishan, the countryside is up by the mountain, it is not suitable for cattle to plow, and those who force the field are replaced by hoes, and do not borrow ox power."

"There are also seedling beds, planting seedling horses, lying down, claws, these are all newly made in Shu, there is no such instrument in ancient times, and work and rest are nothing less than the world."

"The two of them hung the mud with a bar, and they could rival the power of a bull; The two of them use grinding and raking to roll, which can compete with the work of three oxen. ”

"Underwater silt, ploughing is very easy, and two harvests a year, this rice field is also profitable."

"After harvesting, the rice stump is stepped into the mud, and the next year it will be the base fertilizer. In addition, there are fish and shrimp in the field, chickens and ducks in the field, human and animal manure, green grass and manure, mud from dredging rivers and ponds, as well as sake lees, sugar residue, bean dregs, oil residue, etc., because the southern climate is mild and humid, it is also very easy to turn into agricultural fertilizer. ”

"As for large-scale water conservancy projects, the imperial court may allocate money and recruit people; or supervise the army and work for relief; The local government cooperated and rewarded agricultural tools, livestock, seeds, and exemption from servitude. In order to stimulate the enthusiasm of local governments to build ponds and weirs and build water conservancy. ”

"With the help of the Farmland Interest Treaty, several major projects can be built."

Wang Anshi said: "Mingrun, why are you so enthusiastic about this method? ”

Su You said: "Because this is a good law for all generations!" The way of cultivating the country! ”

"What I just said is to demonstrate feasibility, but we should pay attention to some problems in implementation."

"First of all, the choice of region, in the developed agricultural areas, such as Shuzhong, Zhejiang, farmland and water conservancy, has been clear, to tap the potential on this, it is almost impossible."

"In these areas, we can only do this by dredging and consolidating existing facilities, and we must open up new fields, which will do more with less."

"The places I just mentioned are areas that are underdeveloped and can be profitable without much effort. The land is close to Pinghu, the transportation is convenient, the climate is mild, and the results are easy. ”

"There are many benefits of this law, not only in farming."

"First of all, it is possible to turn the army into a civilian and solve a considerable part of the problem of redundant troops in the Great Song Dynasty today."

"It is imperative to eliminate the disarmament team, select soldiers, and improve combat effectiveness. However, if we do not find a good way out for the eliminated army, chaos will inevitably arise, so it is necessary to have a large amount of arable land for the resettlement of the eliminated army. ”

"Secondly, the number of officials waiting to be elected in the Great Song Dynasty is increasing, and redundant officials are also a big problem."

"There are officials who are sent to do this, and if they are asked to do this, they must be cheating and cheating, but it is different to let the officials to be elected do it."

"The imperial court can use this matter to test whether they can use it as a talent reserve, expand the scope of governance, and solve the shortcomings of some redundant officials."

"When we discussed the Seedlings Law before, I said that it is necessary to transform those people who have labor but are idle because of the lack of means of production from the burden of the state to people who are beneficial to the state, which is the fundamental way to solve social contradictions."

"These new areas, like a blank sheet of paper, are also of great benefit to finding out the yield per mu of Tianzheng."

"The management of officials' food fields can also rely on this, and the planning of these areas must be meticulous - the officials' food fields and the officials' private fields must be clearly demarcated, and the private fields outside the food fields must be paid in one piece!"

"This measure was implemented in the old territory of the Great Song Dynasty, which was intertwined and difficult, but the development of Xintian was an opportunity!"

"This is actually the old policy of Meishan, and then I implemented it in Kuizhou, Weizhou, which are not strong or have been abolished, and the results are outstanding."

"The first step is to take advantage of the opportunity of the state to develop Jinghu and rebuild Hebei, and the Tuntian Governor of the Inner Court, and the Tuntian Governor of the Outer Dynasty, supervise each other, and properly handle the measurement, measurement, and verification of many regulations."

"If it is effective, the second step is to measure the acres of land nationwide, assess the number of households, make public land, private land, and official food food clear, and strictly separate tax-free land from non-tax-exempt land!"

"Official land, acres other than public land, should not be included in the tax exemption, this is supported by laws!"

"There are only thousands of officials in the Great Song Dynasty, among which the tax-free fields of the officials are 50 hectares for one product and 5 hectares for nine products, and there are laws and regulations that can be checked. The tax-free place is only tens of thousands. ”

"In addition to the public land used for local chores in various places, the public land of the school and the food field sent by the magistrate, the tax-free land is only tens of thousands of hectares."

"Then how many acres of land should I pay taxes on? When it is not less than five million hectares! So how much should you pay in a year? Whose pockets did they all go to?! ”

"The state allows scholars to rule the world together, and gives scholars such generous treatment because of their merits in governing the government and the people, and because of their achievements in protecting the country and rejuvenating the country."

"Giving everyone a lord and a high position is not a cruelty to the people to enrich themselves, to take advantage of it, and to bend the law for bribes!"

Wang Anshi: "But who will measure?!" The top and bottom deceive each other, and hide each other, how can the court get the truth? ”

Su You laughed angrily: "Do you still have to commit a crime? Participating in politics, they are violating the law of the country! ”

"Give a deadline and go to the government to report to the government within a time limit, then you will not be blamed for the past. If it is not reported after it expires, it will be measured according to the book when the time comes, and the more ones will be included in the public land. This is called confession and leniency, and resistance is strict! ”

"However, the old land can be slowed down, and the development of Jinghu Lake will blow the wind first, but the new land must be strict, and the country can no longer be lost."

Wang Anshi asked, "Why do you want to involve Shang Jia Haoqiang?" Isn't it possible for the state to directly dispatch the army to develop it? ”

Su You smiled: "Of course national development is possible, but how many assets does the country have available today?" The method of losing evenly consumed 8 million guan inside; The Seedlings Law consumed 16 million yuan of the national treasury. The two combined are 24 million. Now that the "Farmland Interest Treaty" has begun, coupled with the country's fiscal deficit in recent years, it is impossible to participate in politics in a hurry. ”

"Besides, can the state be managed so meticulously? If it is impossible, it is better to give up part of the interests, grasp the big projects, and enjoy the achievements, and as for the corners, just hand them over to the social forces. ”

"Participating in politics, I still have that view, if a system is to be implemented and no one goes to politics, we must try to win the support of the majority of the people, and we must completely occupy the general righteousness, otherwise even if it is implemented for a while, it will be difficult to last."

"I think the rest of the laws can be slowed down."

Wang Anshi stood up: "One blow, then three times of exhaustion." Mingrun doesn't have to persuade anymore, become benevolent and righteous, although there are tens of millions of people, I will go! ”

Su You was a little speechless, the stubborn donkey was still the stubborn donkey.

However, his strength is weak, and he is soft-spoken, forget it, as long as he can keep the basic plate of the Great Song Dynasty, he can listen to it if he likes it, and if he doesn't listen, it is also a big bargain for Shuzhong businessmen to consolidate their mass base.

Don't dare to expect more.

……

Now that Su You is mostly in Zhengzhou, he hardly even goes back to the capital, for fear of causing a commotion.

Even Shi Wei is mostly here now, because the military has medicine, and she needs her guidance many times, which can be regarded as the supernumerary medical department.

Shi Wei is good at martial arts and likes new weapons very much, so she is still a weapons tester, shooting targets every day, and going to the depths of Songshan to find prey when she has nothing to do.

Shi Fu obeyed this young girl's words, what she wanted, the most accurate magic gun, now in her hands, and did not hesitate to get twenty brass bullet shells, and every time she came back after the battle, she personally reloaded the ammunition.
