Chapter 494: The Development of the Imperial Court

Xincheng has made great progress in the past six months, and Datang has been improving!

At the beginning of the year, Feng Ang had already repelled the wingmen, and he repelled them with the greatest losses.

After the repulsion, Feng Ang sent his military advisors to start traveling with the people, promising them the identity of commoners in the Tang Dynasty.

It's just a point, and it's a necessary point. The bureaucrats don't value this, but the court does!

The wingmen are seldom engaged in production, and all resources basically come from nature!

There are very few things like farming, and in the deep mountains and old forests, the breeding technology is also very backward.

After a month-long consultation, Feng Ang gave the bureaucrats to provide fertile land for cultivation, and experienced personnel led it.

The bureaucrats did not have to pay taxes for five years, and they were provided with food subsidized by the imperial court for the first two years.

Under a series of promises of benefits, the wingman finally came out of the mountain! All the promised conditions have been fulfilled, but ......

The wingmen were divided into hundreds of villages distributed in various prefectures and counties in Lingnan, which is also for security reasons, and who knows if these wingmen will have a rebellious heart!

The reason why the imperial court was able to provide enough food to the bureaucrats was because the first batch of grain on the Linyi side had already been harvested!

Linyi is not a big place, but it can't bear to produce grain!

The first batch of grain was paid to Datang with 500,000 stones, which was not much for the entire Datang, but it was enough to meet the needs of those bureaucrats!

And this is only the first batch, Linyi's rice is three crops a year!

In this way, there are 1.5 million stone of grain a year!

When the imperial court got the news, it almost went crazy!

The officials were happy one by one, praising each other for the correctness of helping Lin Yi's policy. But few people thought that such a big receipt could come from a Rao proposal!

With so much grain, it was impossible to transport it all back to Chang'an, so half of the 500,000 stone generals who came out of Linyi were handed over to Feng Ang to appease the bureaucrats, and half were transported into Shannan Dao.

As for the grain in the back, the same arrangement was made, and it was transported to Jiangnan Province and Huainan Province respectively.

And all the grain from these three provinces was transported to the north to supplement the states and counties in the north that were short of food.

Corn and potatoes, now potatoes are slowly spreading to the north of Datang, and corn is spreading to the south.

Because of the order of the imperial court, all the potatoes and corn received in the past two years were used as growing grain. Those who cultivated both types of land at home were also exempt from some harsh taxes.

Potatoes and corn were not taken away from the people's Yongye fields, but were planted in their own fields

After two years of accumulation, potatoes and corn have been planted all over Guannei Province, Henan Province, Hedong Province, Shannan Province, and Huainan Province.

After receiving the goods this year, the people of Datang will be able to eat these two new grains!

Regarding some taboo matters of these two new grains, the government is also actively informing the people.

In order to avoid unnecessary losses after the advent of new grain.

The development of the imperial court in the past six months is not limited to this, and the road construction plan has now spread throughout Jingzhao Mansion.

With the experience of Chang'an County, the Ministry of Communications sent more than a dozen teams of experienced Ministry of Transportation officials to start road construction in various prefectures and counties of Jingzhao Province.

In order to prevent the road construction plan from being blocked, Li Er and several close ministers decided to increase the toll period to 15 years, so that those who contributed to the road construction could have some benefits.

In addition, the imperial court came forward to erect monuments to all those who funded the construction of roads, and for a time the private businessmen and wealthy families and even some nobles enthusiastically participated.

The people of Jingzhao Mansion also happily joined in the upsurge of road construction one by one!

Kannai Road and even the surrounding roads hope to be repaired to them as soon as possible, but the project is too big, and the output of cement can't keep up at all!

In this way, the imperial court no longer controls the cement formula, as long as you can produce qualified cement, the Ministry of Communications will send someone to buy it.

As for the cement formula falling to neighboring countries or hostile countries, Li Er has no fear at all!

Because his military base has now developed bombs, not black powder!

The road repair plan is going well, and so is the compensation plan!

In addition, Gaochang has sent cotton and seeds, and the fruit and vegetable garden in Chang'an County has now been built.

The people gathered from all the villages under the jurisdiction of Chang'an County have already begun to plough and fertilize, and the fruit trees will be planted in the second half of the year.

Some greenhouses have also been built in this fruit and vegetable garden, and the people have also begun to grow all kinds of vegetables that are out of season or not suitable for growing in Chang'an County under the training of personnel from Xincheng.

And the cotton was also planted in the Guannai Road, and it was planted on its own land, and it did not delay the people from farming, and even eliminated some of the previous hemp and the like.

The common people knew little about cotton, but the imperial court ordered it to be planted and exempted from miscellaneous taxes, and they were happy to accept it.

Previously, because Ding Yi proposed to improve the tax policy, Zhongshu Province also developed a set of plans.

However, for the sake of prudence, it was first tried in Shiping County!

On the one hand, Shiping is close to Xincheng, which is easier for the people to accept, after all, this tax system was proposed by Shipinghou, and after the changes of Zhongshu Province, it is still sixty percent similar to Xincheng's tax.

After the change of the tax system of Zhongshu Province, the people are exempted from the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there is no need to complete the farming task every year in order to complete the tax!

The current tax system is to lure the people to farm independently with various benefits, and at the same time introduce a large number of rotary cultivators and other machinery from Junfeng Machinery. In order to help the people cultivate more quickly, it can relieve people from the heavy work of farming.

The annual labor of the people of Shiping County is gone, but some taxes have been added, which is insignificant.

The taxes of the common people have been reduced, and the taxes of the merchants have also been reduced, but if you calculate them carefully, their taxes have increased!

However, the imperial court also imposed restrictions on the merchants of Shiping, so that they could better develop their family business and develop commerce.

For this move of the imperial court, the people of Shiping rejoiced, but there were many old scholars in the court, and some advocated maintaining the hierarchical system.

Forget about the new city, it's already abandoned, there's no way, and you can't afford to mess with it!

And Shi Ping is doing this, isn't this announcing to the next person, this Shi Nong Industry and Commerce is going to be completely overthrown?

Three, six, nine, etc., are to be completely broken?

In this way, wouldn't it become a joke for these people to spend more than ten or even decades studying in vain?

After the book was read, it became a joke to go out of your way to enter the court?

For this point, the Chinese book province has already dealt with it!

The officials of Shiping are no longer enjoying the original benefits, but redefining them!

A new assessment system was set up to evaluate the officials of Shiping, and the salary of qualified officials was increased by half, and in the year of qualification, they were qualified to recommend a learned person to the imperial court to enter the officialdom!

As a result, there is no opposition from the DPRK and China. If you think about it, they will be able to develop their henchmen even more!

However, all this has long been calculated by Li Er!

These recommended people are first inspected for three years before they can officially enter the court.

Someone as smart as Li Er, how could he not think of this!
