The three hundred households all nodded, and each hundred households had a worker to promote the work to record the working hours, and then the upper accountant was responsible for taking the money from the official warehouse of the hundred households, handing it over to the worker to distribute, and finally recording the amount of money and reporting it to the secretary's cabinet settlement record.

The whole process, the manager of the warehouse does not care about the money, the person who manages the money does not pay the money, and the unified calculation and reporting are carried out to prevent corruption and satiety, and even deduct wages.

In the department, Cao Ke has a special person responsible for going down to each hundred households, regularly visiting and reviewing, if there is a deduction of delayed wages, it is a big deal, at least he will lose his official position, and at worst he will be imprisoned.

The treatment of officials in 100 households is very good, and no one will take the initiative to fight the idea of local money and grain in the short term, and after a long time, it will rely on the system.

Nan'an Hou Xu Zixian never trusted personal ethics, only the system.

For this point, Wu Shizhong is not very suitable for one, but fortunately, he has not yet arrived. In the future, there will be no money and food in and out of the school, and the construction of the school and the supervision and management of the students' food expenses are all directly from the household, and the school room is only responsible for teaching, which is also to save Wu Shizhong trouble and disputes.

The rammed earth road is built by the stacking method, which is actually the most inferior official road.

As early as a thousand years ago, the roads of ancient Rome were basically bluestone paved roads or cobblestone roads, and the worst roads were gravel roads.

The road state of Qinchi Road also has some reservations, but that is the rammed earth road, and some of the road surfaces are preserved but no longer belong to the core operation area of the road, so they are relatively intact.

In the case of the Great Wei official road, the rammed earth soil needs to be maintained regularly, so the road conditions are not bad.

If it is in disrepair, it will be covered in dirt on a sunny day, and the vehicles will ride on it like a ship on the sea, undulating. On rainy days, the mud is waist-down, and it is difficult to walk in the mud.

With the current financial resources of the Anhou Mansion in the south, it can only build rammed earth roads, but fortunately, the maintenance must win people, at least for a long time, rammed earth roads will be the mainstream of road construction.

Fu Qian explained some details of tree planting and dredging ditch construction, and then he was ready to get on the horse and leave.

A hundred households said: "Have we confirmed the wasteland of the hundred households?" ”

Fu Qian looked at him and said, "Your 700th household wasteland is in the north, northeast to eleven miles, south to eleven, north twenty-one, about a radius of more than fifty to sixty miles. ”

"...... obediently," the hundred-hundred-household official of the seven-hundredth household couldn't help but exclaim.

The 700th household is also a retired soldier, injured in the arm, amputated and cut off most of the left arm, and then studied Wenmo arithmetic in the Nan'an Hou Mansion Annex, raised by the public middle school, and received two yuan a month.

The current situation also shows that Nan'anhou is really prescient, and more than 90 percent of the more than 100 soldiers who retired due to injuries and illnesses have learned to read and arithmetic, and now they are either officials or officials of 100 households, or 100 households, or the chief of the guards, who are in charge of the grassroots political power and the power of the garrison.

In addition, there are also those selected from the military soldiers, or the old generals of the original Nan'an Hou Mansion, and some of the officials who have been selected one after another.

Through a long period of recruitment and training, now Nan'an Hou Mansion maintains a quite capable and practical team of officials, and the team of officials filled by Bai Ding, small officials, and military soldiers is actually more suitable and effective than the pure students selected by the Great Wei through layers of examinations.

"About more than 50,000 acres of land?" Liu Baimin coughed and couldn't help but ask Fu Qian.

"According to the measurement method, it is almost less than 50,000 mu." Fu Qian said: "When the road here is repaired, we must establish a waterwheel diversion canal according to the scope of each hundred farmlands, build vertical and horizontal roads along the middle of the fields, and allow chickens and buses to enter and exit, and it is best to pass a carriage, so as to pull farm tools, manure, and future harvests, and it is convenient to enter and exit." In addition, it is to open up a large area of acres, use channels to drain and irrigate, and if the channels do not reach, dig wells, pull them with mules and donkeys, and keep coming out of the water day and night. ”

There was excitement in everyone's eyes, and where Li Guozhu and the others were, the crowd was also in a commotion.

"So many places, are there many people?"

"Pretty much." Fu Qian thought for a while and said: "There may be a large number of new immigrants in the future, and the number of official households may not be enough." According to the idea of the prince, if the number of official households is almost over, leave a part of the quota to prepare for rewards, and the new arrivals are still private households, and they can be tenant farmers, or they can be the Zhuang Ding of the Hou Mansion, and they can do things. ”

Several hundreds of households looked at each other, and more officials showed smug expressions on their faces.

When the tenant farmers were certainly inferior to the official households, and after paying off their debts, the cotton fields they cultivated were all their own, and they only had to convert the money into seed cotton in proportion to it, and then serve forty days of hard labor.

The new fields that have been reclaimed, whether they are cotton fields or rice fields and bean fields, are also handled in one piece.

After that, the Hou Mansion may increase the proportion of the payment of the Feng money, which is actually another level of taxation, but compared with the heavy tax burden of the Great Wei, the tax amount of the Hou Mansion will still be very low, and it will not bring any unbearable burden to people.

In the first few years of land reclamation, no taxes were collected, and each hundred households and each family cultivated the wasteland according to the number of households.

Many people hate that they don't have many mouths in their homes and can't open more acres.

If the land reclamation plan is successful, each family will have dozens of acres of cotton fields and more than 100 acres of paddy fields, because of the abundance of large livestock, sufficient agricultural tools, and complete water conservancy, a family of five, with three or two families, planting more than 100 acres of land is simply a very easy thing.

In the Tang Dynasty, the fields were granted, and the Yongye fields were more than 100 acres, and the people still obtained a bumper harvest with simple tools.

In addition, people will be arranged to plant mulberry trees, and there will be special silk farmers to pick mulberry leaves and raise silkworms, expand the raw silk production of Nan'an Houfu, and obtain the supply from others, it is better to produce it yourself, which is not only the belief of Xu Zixian, Nan'an Hou, but also the ambition of the officials and people under Xu Zixian.

Ordinary households, there is certainly no more care in the reclamation, the interest on the loan will be higher, if they become tenant farmers, the land still belongs to the Hou government, but they can live and use agricultural tools for free, and it is still cost-effective for official households.

If it is for hired workers, then it is still rootless duckweed, and the management of Nan'an Hou Mansion is quite strict, and there is no way to be lazy and slippery as a hired worker, let alone cost-effective.

"One hundred households is 50,000 acres." The one-armed hundred-hundred ”

"Not all 100 households have their own tasks, but it's about the same." Fu Qian looked at everyone and said: "So everyone has to work hard, the official household is always rated as inferior, and it may be dismissed to become a private household or a hired worker, don't complain at that time." ”

"How so?" Li Guozhu shouted from a distance: "Which of us people doesn't have ten points of strength and want to use twelve points?" ”

There were also many people shouting together, Fu Qian knew that he had lost his words, and he hugged his fists and said to everyone: "If you are gaffe, don't blame you." However, if you have ten strength, make ten force, don't exert too much strength, get sick upper body, or take care of your body. ”

These words also calmed everyone's slight dissatisfaction, Fu Qian is a technical official, and he is not good at these things, and many people also understand it in their hearts.

"The land that is carved out is also the land of life." Liu Baihu said to everyone at this time: "We have to burn the wasteland first, and we will do this well." Then it is necessary to plough deeply to remove foreign objects such as compacted soil, grass roots, and gravel. Then you have to burn it with a stone fire to get rid of the insect infestation in the mud, which is the third step. Then down is irrigation, which is the fourth step. At this point, it can be planted, but this is raw soil, and it will be considered a mature field after three or five years of planting, and you can work hard to cultivate it. I see that the arrangement of the prince is good, and he has called a lot of dingkou to dredge the streams and dig out the river mud that is picked into a burden, and we have done the fourth step, and the river mud pond mud can be covered, even if it is fertilized, it can be regarded as a ripe field and good soil. ”

The 700th household quite agreed, and said loudly: "Cultivating with cooked soil, we have enough farm tools, enough people, and enough livestock, if the yield per mu is less than three stones, it will be regarded as a waste of effort!" ”

"If the canals, waterwheels, and deep wells are complete, the water conservancy and fertilizer are sufficient, and more than one million acres of land are fallow and rotated, the yield of one acre and three stones can still be guaranteed."

"I hope so."

"What do you mean by wish? But if you do it by manpower, not by God, you will definitely succeed. ”

"This is the words of the prince, he dares to say, we ordinary people don't talk nonsense, be careful of losing your life."

Xu Zixian's words are still very marketable, and many young people like to relay the words of the prince and use them as their own support.

After Fu Qian and the others cheered up for a while, many people's hearts rose.

Not to mention the income of cotton fields, the rice fields and miscellaneous fields of more than 100 acres are quite considerable, the vegetables planted are enough to eat, and there is enough grain to raise chickens, ducks and pigs, so that meat reserves are also available.

In addition, the mulberry forest produces silk, even if it is planted in rotation, at least dozens of acres of land are planted a year, with an average yield of three stones, and the annual income is more than 200 stones.

How many catties of grain is this?

A family of five can grow more than 20,000 catties of grain a year, even if every family has fine grain and white flour every day, they can't eat so much grain!

Even if you remove the part that will be handed over to the Hou Mansion and remove the share of food that your family will eat, each household will still have a considerable amount of grain to sell.

Children and adults can earn money for clothing, hats, salt and oil, and daily furniture.

There is also money for children to marry daughters-in-law and ask for wives, and save money for disease prevention and old age, I am afraid that after a few years, I can save it.

Everyone's eyes are shining, although it is really hard to work every day, in the past, when everyone was in Fujian, they were basically busy for half a year and idle for half a year.

After moving to the Eastern Domain, burn the wasteland, dig the ditch, dig the river mud, build bridges, repair houses and repair roads, almost no day is idle, even if it is really idle for a few days, the hundred household officials are also to organize the Ding Zhuang of each hundred households to train the soldiers and strengthen the body, hunting society, bow and arrow society, horizontal knife society, long knife society, all kinds of societies are all over the hundred households, all the Ding Zhuang men are among them, they have to practice the horizontal knife obstacle knife, long knife and long sword, and also practice bow and arrow archery, and the women are tailoring girdles and arrows and making leather boots, and then handed over to the Nan'an Hou Mansion in exchange for money.

Such days are really busy and full of hope.

There is no need to spur it at all, people are consciously and voluntarily trying to exert more effort.

Fu Qian finally got on the horse and left, and a small official stopped for a while, and said to Liu Baihu: "Brother Liu seems to be having a fever, are there many people with fever in the seventeen hundred households recently?" ”

"It's been burning for two days." Liu Baihu said: "I can still move if I hold on, and I won't delay my business." ”

"Not about that." The little official said: "There is an explanation from above, all the officials on a business trip who encounter a fever of the epidemic, must ask clearly, isolation matters are very important, can not be delayed, no matter what function the fever person has, need to be isolated in the isolation center, fever is ......" The little official looked at Liu Baihu and said in a deep voice: "The right talent Fu Sicao is not easy to say, I can only say it bluntly, Liu Baihu, you have to temporarily retire, and hand over the duties of the hundred households to the agricultural official temporarily, you live in the isolation center yourself, and you can only come out when the fever is reduced." ”

Liu Baihu's surname is Liu Mingshujing, and he was born as an old soldier. In fact, he has never been very accustomed to life in the barracks, just trying to support himself for a living. Later, Jiangtan was injured in World War I, and naturally asked to retire, and then because he had no family to stay in Nan'an Hou Mansion to live, he did not embarrass him when he immigrated to the Eastern Domain, and when he established a hundred households, Liu Baihu successfully ascended to the throne and became a member of the officials of the hundred households.

All the best, until now.

Taiwan's history of land reclamation, in fact, was done quite well in the Ming and Zheng periods, probably using official land, private land, and enclosing land for officials.
