On the boat back to the city, Wu Meiniang was very uneasy, Sun Xiangfu knew what emotions this little girl was making, this was afraid of being scolded after going back, and refused to go back.

After all, she is still a child, no matter how smart she is, she is a little careless in doing things.

"Uncle Sun, can we not go back to Jingzhou!"

"Why? Don't you want your mom and dad and sister? ”

"However, it's really boring in Jingzhou! Especially the master, he teaches those books every day, and if he doesn't learn, he has to play the handboard, but Mei'er has obviously learned all of them, but her brothers and sisters don't know it, they are so stupid, I always hurt me and suffer together, hey! ”

Wu Meiniang wasn't even interested in playing with the binoculars on the table, she was lying in front of the desk with her face supported by her hands, looking like a little adult, worried and sighing.

What she said made Sun Xiangfu know the way Wu Shitong educates children, he must not be very clever, and even, due to his busy official duties, he didn't care much about children's education at all, and he didn't know that his demonic daughter, who was so young, had so many ideas of her own, and she was surprisingly bold.

Children also have a characteristic, that is, they are impatient with boring things, like Wu Meiniang, who can memorize all the thousand-character essays and Analects at the age of six, and you still ask her to repeat these things every day, it's strange that she is not crazy.

"It's not that they're too stupid, it's that you're too smart, people, the smarter you are, the more troubles you'll have, you, you have to learn to empathize, be content, at least, you sneak out and play for a few more days than your brothers and sisters, isn't it?"

Historically, this girl was not satisfied, and finally sat at the pinnacle, of course, now, it is impossible, Gaozong Li Zhi was not born because of the butterfly effect, and the crown prince Li Chengqian will not embark on the old road in history, her future, Sun Xiangfu has no ability to predict, but Sun Xiangfu feels that it is important to teach her these truths, and contentment will always be happy!

Wu Meiniang didn't understand the true meaning of contentment and happiness, and pouted, "If only I could follow Uncle Sun outside all the time." ”

Sun Xiangfu touched her head and said, "Uncle is not playing, he is doing business, when uncle's affairs are done, the people in the entire Shannan Province will be rich, and they will live a good life, and Uncle will be very happy." ”

"That Mei'er helps Uncle Sun let them live a good life, and Uncle Sun will take Mei'er around to play when the time comes." Wu Meiniang seemed to have made a big decision and put forward her own quid pro quo.

When Sun Xiangfu heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay! ”

With his approval, Wu Meiniang's eyes had a little more light, and she hurriedly answered, "Then let's make a decision, but before that, Uncle Sun wants to help Mei'er get through the current hurdle." ”

All right! This girl has a lot of ghost thoughts, it turns out that she has multiple purposes, but Sun Xiangfu has to promise her that if she can establish a positive belief in her heart since she was a child, or a goal, with her talent, she should be able to do a lot of good things for this country.

"Don't worry! This matter will be handled by Uncle Sun. ”

The official boat that needs to be rowed by oars is driving against the water in the Yangtze River, and the speed is very slow, Sun Xiangfu took the opportunity to write down some ideas for the development of Shannan Province on the boat, but he didn't pay attention to it, Wu Meiniang, a little girl, has found a new hobby, that is, to read the manuscript written by Sun Xiangfu.

Not to mention, with her intelligence level, it is not difficult to understand the vernacular essays written by Sun Xiangfu, although limited by imagination and social knowledge, many places still don't understand, but for the overall content, she already knows a rough idea, and when the ship arrives at Jingzhou Wharf two days later, regardless of whether the content is thoroughly understood, she actually memorized the content on those manuscripts.

Wu Shi Tong personally went to the dock to greet Sun Xiangfu, of course, he didn't give Wu Meiniang, who was timid, who followed him, a good look, if it weren't for the guards who brought her before who found out that the situation was wrong, and confessed everything to Wu Shi Tong, otherwise, he would have died as a father.

Jingzhou Governor's Mansion, when he saw Sun Xiangfu, Wu Yuanqing, who breathed fire in his eyes, was still locked up in the Buddhist hall for self-examination, and after knowing the reason why Wu Meiniang ran away from home, Wu Shiyun hated and cleaned him up, so when Wu Meiniang returned to the mansion, the pair of glass checkers returned to her hands.

Sun Xiangfu saw that her posture of reaching out to catch the checker board was a little strange, so he looked at her body, and found that the clothes on her stomach were bulging, and immediately thought of his own pair of binoculars, but he did not demolish her, the little girl has stolen her own things for the second time, and one day, she will be able to return it with interest.

"Zhengming is going to work hard, please rest in the house for the time being, the old man went to settle those Miao people first, and then came back to discuss business with you later."

"Go ahead! I can't sleep on the boat these days, so I'll make up for sleep in your mansion for the time being. ”

"In this way, Masaaki will please."

Just politely welcomed Sun Xiangfu back to the house, and Wu Shi Tong immediately went to busy with official business, after all, the emperor asked him to do the main job of the governor of Shannan Province, which is to move the people, not only to move those ethnic minorities out of the ravines and ravines, but also to move some people to Guanzhong, to enrich the lack of labor over there, and to do it before next year's spring ploughing, the work pressure is not small! It is now twenty-eight years old, and before the spring ploughing begins, Wu Shi Tong can finally move a group of people to Guanzhong.

I don't know if it's the reason for returning to his hometown, Sun Xiangfu always sleeps very heavy when he is in Jingzhou, he closes his eyes for several hours, and he doesn't dream, and after he wakes up, he obviously feels refreshed.

"The governor has woken up, this is the information sent in the past few days."

Since Sun Xiangfu came out to do business, he would not not bring the shadowless intelligence group, he just arrived in Jingzhou, he scattered them, and now it has been almost a month, and all aspects of Jingzhou, especially some news of several major families, have been checked by the intelligence team.

Sun Xiangfu looked at the sky outside, knew that he had slept all afternoon, and after washing up, he took the hot tea brought by Zhang Ke, drank it, and looked through the information.

The reform inspection team of the imperial court went to the boundary of Shannan Province, however, it did not smoothly implement the official system for the local government and the reform of the household registration system like Luoyang in Guanzhong.

Of course, this matter was expected by Sun Xiangfu early on, and he mainly looked at some data compiled by the people of the intelligence team after the field investigation, and there was a big gap between these data and the official data provided by Wu Shitong, such as the number of Dingkou on the general household register of the Governor's Mansion, which was quite different from the actual situation.

Since the founding of Li Tang for more than ten years, in the land of Jingxiang, when there is a big flood in summer and autumn every year, some villages have disappeared, because of the flood, the imperial court will supplement the local fields, but the fields directly fall into the hands of these local heroes.

The local people have never received any rescue or compensation, and there are some capable people who have the ability to become water bandits, and more of them have been beaten into hidden households by these heroes and become serfs who farm and produce for them, because when the people have no food to eat, they basically have no choice.

Of course, whether they become water bandits or serfs, their fields will undoubtedly fall into the hands of these powerful people, so the actual number of Dingkou in Jingzhou is at least 20% more than that of those on the books, and these people are black serfs who are hidden by local tyrants.

And the actual land in the hands of the local tyrants is at least three or four percent more than that registered by the government, and they don't need to pay taxes at all to plant these fields, and no one has to check them, and the number of millions of mu, just one season's taxes, they can escape hundreds of thousands of stone grain.

Why are local tycoons rich? Can you not be rich by cultivating fields at the lowest cost and not paying taxes?

"The methods of these families are really typical, Zhang Ke, you let people quickly send a letter to Jin Langzhong of the restructuring group, if those families want land, they can sell all the original official fields to them at a lower price, not only the official fields, all the Shannan Province areas have been reclaimed, but there are still registered fields, the imperial court can register them and give them away, but they have to promise the imperial court a condition, that is, the new system reform will be fully implemented, and the black households and serfs hidden under their doors will be fully implemented, They had to take it to the government to register and receive the household registration of second-class citizens of the imperial court, and it was necessary to explain to them that the imperial court could give them some benefits, but it was forbidden for any Han people to be slaves or servants, and if they resisted the general policies of the imperial court, they would be regarded as rebellion. ”

"No."

"In addition, tell Jin Langzhong that this governor is the Qin cha appointed by His Majesty to handle the affairs of Shannan Province, and even Ying Guogong is now cooperating with my work, so he doesn't have to worry about being responsible for the crime, and everything is under the orders of the governor."

"No."

Zhang Ke received the order to go down to do things, and Sun Xiangfu began to think again, how should he deal with the conditions he offered, or if he did not agree to the conditions he offered.

If you make a fuss in the fields, Sun Xiangfu has many ways to kill them, relying on agricultural output alone, without the blessing of commerce, at most they can get simple food and clothing, and now Datang has no shortage of fields, and even more fields, rather than returning farmland in vain, it is better to take out the conditions and exchange some favorable conditions.

Sun Xiangfu proposed to use the fields to exchange manpower with these heroes, but in fact, he did not pay any actual losses, because these fields were originally in the hands of the powerful in these places, and those people, once they obtained the household registration of citizens, they were no longer under the control of these powerful people, because they would find that there were many jobs that they could do and make money, and they would find them, and they would not have to continue to be exploited by those powerful people.
