Chapter 881: Dowry

Floating rice is a miraculous crop that is sown in January in Meizhou, when the swamp water level is at its lowest and the mud bed is exposed.

Just after the water level submerges the mud bed, the floating rice begins to take root and sprout, and then begins to grow as the water level rises.

It grows until November, when the water level recedes and the floating rice is ripe.

The planting period is quite long, but the yield offsets the disadvantage, and one acre of water surface can harvest six hundred catties.

Basically, there is no need to manage, the Song people are a little more scientific than the locals, and they just use large bamboos to form large long baskets and keep the rice seedlings in the baskets to avoid being washed away by water.

The bamboo raft traveled all the way for almost half an hour before it came to a "suburban" area.

Between the polders under construction and the polders is a large native swamp, but now the native plants inside have been removed and turned into bamboo baskets floating in shallow water, and inside the bamboo baskets are thick reddish-brown rice seedlings.

Another advantage is that you don't need to fertilize and you can't keep it.

The soil of the swamp is already extremely fertile, and every year there is a stream of water that brings nutrients.

There is also a waterway between the bamboo baskets and the bamboo baskets, and the mud has been dug up to pile up the polder, and Su You can see many bamboo rafts stacked with bamboo baskets busy transporting mud between the waterways.

Hard work is necessary, but it can be seen that the men's nutrition can keep up, and nutrition and labor make them extremely strong.

Shen Kuo and Jia Kang are not only embraced here, but worshipped.

Su You asked, "Have you counted it in the deposit?" How many acres of land can one person work here? ”

Shen Kuo said: "Three harvests a year, the labor intensity here is much stronger than that of Liangzhejiang Road, according to the calculation of a family of two or five, it is not easy to cook fifteen acres of land." ”

Su You nodded: "You can also use some fish ponds, bamboo forests, mulberry fruit forests, and firewood fields that are not so labor-intensive, and a family should be able to have thirty acres, far exceeding the vast majority of households in the mainland, right?" ”

Jia Yan nodded: "That is, the harvest is more than three percent more than Liangzhejiang Road, and Liangzhejiang Road is now one ding and five acres, and it will be a flower!" ”

Su You looked at the boundless Gang and Fudao: "Cunzhong is right, it's time for them to divide the land and find a daughter-in-law......

Jia Yan said: "Shaobao, in fact, you can also apply for a policy for them, the imperial court for the land to open up wasteland, seven years rent-free, if these lands can be counted as wasteland......

Su You said to Jia Yan: "Gong Jia, the first thing in politics is to be generally fair. With an output area like Meizhou, with our current development efficiency, we still have to use the inland state capital's land reclamation policy, which is a policy imbalance. ”

"It is the country that suffers too much, and in the end it will inevitably lead to counter-currents, rebalancing, and in the process, there will be repeated turmoil."

"Therefore, it is still like the Liangzhejiang Road, which is developed by Sitong, and then handed over to the government as cooked land, and the government gives immigrants the way of selling official land, and in order to encourage production, it is enough to give certain preferential treatment in the area that can be owned."

"As the old saying goes, if the policy of luring acquaintances and immigrants is not effective, then we can find a way, it is much better than opening up too much at once and not being able to recover it in the end."

Now it seems that the restraining of mergers around Taihu Lake on Liangzhejiang Road is quite effective, and the interests of the state, the interests of the rich, and the interests of the displaced people are all under the premise of "balance", achieving the greatest fairness, and also getting the support of all parties.

Su Shaobao is really a talent and has far-reaching plans.

According to Su You's opinion, the land policy in Meizhou that is twice as lenient as that of Liangzhejiang Road is already preferential enough, and if you really want to treat the polders that can be used as cooked land as wasteland and send them to immigrants to enjoy the seven-year tax exemption policy, there will be problems.

According to the current mainstream of the imperial court, this is to use the wealth of China to feed the poor people, which is a loss-making business, and it is a border general who covets military merits and provokes at the same time, and he is promoted to become rich by himself, and the country bears the bitter consequences.

If Su You really did this, he would definitely be attacked by a group.

The house has been built for the second generation, and the Song people still like the house with bricks and wooden beams, and the previous bamboo-reinforced cement wall Datong paved house belongs to the kind of military camp, which is purely a temporary emergency.

The brick factory was working day and night, and Shen Kuo began to build the houses of the executives.

The polders were still soft, so the technology provided by Su oil was used, with wood as the base, stones were pressed on top, and then soil was covered to build houses.

Su You inspected Meizhou City, except for the lack of city walls, everything else was perfect.

Although Shen Kuo is not emotionally intelligent enough and does not understand the intrigue of politics, his ability to do practical things is one of the best in the Great Song Dynasty, and there is nothing to find fault with.

Su You asked the fleet to return first, and he inspected Meizhou for a few more days, focusing on the physical problems of the people.

One sentence above, the lower head ran and split the hips, since the Queen Mother explained that she should care about the welfare of immigrants, it has to become a key work content when she arrives in Suyou.

Because of the strict implementation of health regulations, there are not many people who are sick, but there are many injuries in the line of duty, and hundreds of people are killed by tigers and crocodiles.

After collecting and sorting out the detailed information, when Shen Kuo and them rushed to harvest the first crop of rice in the first year of Yuanfeng before the rainy season came, Su You returned to the Flying Fish, which had been remodeled back to its original state, and returned to Jiaozhou.

As for the ballistas on the ship, they were thrown to Shen Kuo, anyway, the forts in the port were already under construction, and it was better than nothing.

After such a large circle of patrols and battles, it was already mid-March when he returned to Jiaozhou, and Li Daocheng came to meet Su You, and then mentioned the matter of Jiaozhi's first imperial examination.

Su You slapped his head, took out a few strategic questions from the Su family's question bank and handed them to the old man, and then said: "As for Jingyi, let your old man look at it." You will also preside over the exam, and we will help you when you mark the papers. ”

This imperial examination is the selection of talents and people, and the people selected by Jiaozhi Road, I am afraid that it is a joke to go to Bianjing to participate in the Jinshi examination, Su You has made sufficient preparations for Li Wensheng and Yang Shu, so that they can act as the face of Jiaozhi County, but for the sake of the future, they are not allowed to take the examination in Jiaozhi, they have to go to Bianjing City to participate in the examination, and they are really qualified.

Thinking of the question Shen Kuo told him, Su You cautiously asked Li Daocheng: "In the families of soldiers who died before Jiaozhi, there are many daughters waiting to leave the pavilion, right?" ”

Li Daocheng was indignant: "What do you want to do?" Are you worthy of Shi Junjun in doing this? Aren't you afraid that the news will spread and the people of Jiaozhou City will not follow?! ”

Hiss – this ......

Shi Wei's reputation in Jiaozhou City is against the sky, up to the county king Li Qiande, down to the orphans in infancy, all of them have been favored by her, Li Daocheng thought that Su You was going to hold a talent show, and immediately objected.

Su You hurriedly interrupted: "Elder Li, don't frame me, it's Shen Cunzhong who said that there are too many singles in Meizhou City, and the lonely sun is not born." He's not a good Zhizhou......"

Li Daocheng's face looked a little better at this time: "This is also true, even if Meizhou City is full of homeless people, my daughter from Jiaozhi County married past, and it is also suffering......

"Nope! Never! Su Youyi resigned solemnly: "I am the people under my rule, and I will never favor one over the other!" ”

"Shen Cunzhong said that if Dingkou over there becomes a family, the government is ready to give 15 acres of good land, another 15 acres of water, build a basic board house, distribute pigs, chickens, duck seedlings, and Jiaozhi's daughter will marry a well-off family!"

"I think so, my husband's family is so generous, our mother's family can't be weak, right? Jiaozhi's daughter went over, and our government sent dowry! Pots and pans, bowls and chopsticks, cloth cabinets and cabinets! Plus three copper coins to make a pressure box, how? ”

Lao Tzu now has so many mines in his hands, he can afford it!

Li Daocheng's brows trembled twice: "Really? That...... Is a widow a widow or not? ”

Su You thought about the group of strong men who were about to go crazy, and it was estimated that they would feel happy when they saw the sows now, and the Great Song Dynasty did not care about the widow's second marriage, so he made a decision on the spot: "How can it not be done, widows and daughters are the same!" ”

Li Daocheng said: "Then leave this matter to me!" It must be done properly for Shaobao! ”

The next Jiaozhou city is lively, full of festive atmosphere.

The mothers of many difficult families simply gritted their teeth and were ruthless, and even married their daughters together.

As a result, many people in Meizhou City were still co-workers when they finished work at night, and as a result, they became sons-in-law overnight, and it also became a shocking joke under the special policy in this special period.

In April, the Jiaozhi Road Transit Division, Ning Haijun, and Ninghai City Bo Division jointly delivered a report to the imperial court.
