Chapter 487: A South Wind Flew Away
After living in the cottage for a few days, Zhou Nan really understood the feelings of people in the rivers and lakes.
Although others are in the cottage, they have nothing to do every day, they just look around in the cottage, or they are looking for Lao Zheng Tou to drink, or at home at night, gossiping with Gao Yun and Yu Liyan and drinking tea. But he always thought about Gao Yuan and Yang Keshi in his heart. I don't know what happened to Zunhua, whether Gao Yuan finished selecting those Xi soldiers, and whether the Xi people exchanged for grain, rice and food before the year......
What is more important is that the opening of the imperial examination and the recruitment of skilled craftsmen should also be done as soon as possible.
The purpose of the imperial examination is to send a group of talented people to the local government as soon as possible, so that the prefectures and counties that they have recovered can have officials loyal to them to manage. Through the management of local governments, all parties can be stabilized as soon as possible, so that the people can stabilize as soon as possible.
Civil affairs officials are all newly recruited officials, so there will be little resistance to implementing some policies by themselves, and they can be implemented well, and they will not be like those old officials.
After a year of war, some have fled elsewhere, while others have lost their lives. A large number of fields are unharvested, and there are countless wastelands that can be cultivated. After the beginning of spring, the government will formulate these relevant policies, determine the land of each household, adopt the method of reducing taxes for three years, and encourage farmers to actively cultivate.
Regarding the land policy, Zhou Nan has also considered it a long time ago. Each prefecture and county re-determined the number of households under its own rule, and then measured the number of acres of land, and first divided the official land and school field from the number of acres of land, which were used as the control of the government and the school. The land of the Lord is still cultivated by the old Lord. The rest of the acres of land are divided equally according to the number of people in each household, and whoever cultivates the land pays the rent.
The wasteland reclaimed by each household will be rent-free for three years. Half of the rent will be charged after three years, for a total of six years. After six years, the rent will be charged normally.
Fields can be bought and sold, but rent is collected according to the number of acres of land in each person's name; The more acres of land in the name, the more rent will be collected.
Zhou Nan's design is somewhat similar to the equalization system, except that the fields allocated to each household in the equalization system are ownerless wasteland, and the fields of those big landlords are not evenly divided. Moreover, the fields that were distributed equally to each household were eventually returned to the State.
Zhou Nan pinned his hopes on high rents to curb later land annexation, and the effect will not be known until the implementation of the land policy.
At the very least, such a policy is conducive to the reclamation of unowned barren land, and also has a positive effect on the restoration and development of agricultural production. It has also greatly increased the number of small-scale self-cultivated peasants under the direct control of the government, ensuring a source of servitude. This also allows lower rents to maintain the basic functioning of the country.
The first draft of physics written overnight in the past few days - physics is not just the physics of later generations, Zhou Nan is based on the meaning of "the principle of things" - has been handed over to Lao Zheng Tou, and Zhou Nan also explained to Lao Zheng Tou in person what he did not understand.
The god car has also been improved. Moreover, Zhou Nan also asked people to make more than ten of the simplest Kong Ming lanterns for himself, made of bamboo strips and fine silk, and put them together with the divine car.
In fact, Yu Liyan was worried about Xiao Lao Liu in Yanjing City, and he also had the intention of going. And Yu Liyan also persuaded Gao Yun to take Gao Yun to live in Yanjing City for a few days. The silver bottle packed up the two of them, waited for the snow to melt on the road, and drove on the road.
Although it has stopped snowing since the beginning of the new year, if no one clears the snow more than a foot thick, it will always take some time for the wind and sun to blow it, not to mention that it is not always sunny.
Zhou Nan sent people down the mountain every day to check the road conditions, and the people sent out couldn't even get to the half-flashed waist and retreated. The snow on the trails is obscured by mountains and is more difficult to remove.
It's been past the sixth day of the new year, and the road is still impassable. But there was a wind blowing in the sky, and Gao Yun said happily, "One day the south wind is warm and three days are warm." It looks like it's going to get warmer. ”
Zhou Nan didn't understand it at first, but after a while he woke up and asked, "The south wind is blowing today?" ”
Gao Yun pointed to the lantern in the courtyard outside and said, "Look, isn't it the south wind." ”
Zhou Nan hurriedly turned around and ran to the west wing, took out a Kong Ming lantern, stuffed a ball of oil-soaked cloth underneath, lit it, and released it into the air. Sure enough, the Kong Ming lantern flew towards the north diagonally, and it flew very high, but the direction remained the same.
The height of the air stratosphere is different, and the wind direction will also change, and Zhou Nan used this Kong Ming lantern to predict the wind direction first, and at what height it is still this wind direction.
Looking at the Kong Ming lantern that was still flying to the north, Zhou Nan excitedly said to the silver bottle, "Go and call your two ladies to come." Today we take the god car to Yanjing! ”
I heard that I was going back to Yanjing by car, and the silver bottle ran back to the back house with a smoke. Zhou Nan went to find Zhou Fu and Lao Zheng Tou, Gao Yun went to Yanjing to live for a few days, and Lao Zheng Tou had to rely on Lao Zheng Tou to cook in the cottage, and he wanted to explain to Lao Zheng Tou. Zhou Fu's skin injuries are no longer in the way, Zhou Nan is in the cottage, and Zhou Fu doesn't have to guard Zhou Nan every day, staying at home all day long.
Zhou Nanlai wanted to tell Zhou Fu that when the snow melted on the road, let Zhou Fu drive Gao Yun's carriage to Yanjing again, and at the same time bring Gao Yun and Yu Liyan's outfits over - after all, although this magic car was not able to change the size to a smaller size because there was no cobbler involved, but Zhou Nan Yu Liyan and Gao Yun Yinping had reached the carrying limit of the god car, and there was really no place to put those outfits.
Zhou Fu heard that Zhou Nan was going to use the god car to take Gao Yun and others to Yanjing, so he hurriedly followed Zhou Nan over and helped Zhou Nan unfold the god car.
Gao Yun and Yu Liyan's silver vase were already wearing thick ones, and they were waiting in the courtyard wearing hoods. Although they also took off in the god car on New Year's Day, but one rose and one fell, where could it be fun to fly directly to Yanjing City in the god car this time?
With the help of Zhou Fu, Zhou Nan skillfully lit the charcoal fire in the furnace and used the leather bag under the stove to blow up the stove to make the furnace more vigorous. The enlarged basket also contained twice as much charcoal as before. Zhou Nan just unfolded one of the fan cars he pedaled on, although there was another one, but Zhou Nan didn't expect these three beauties wearing thick as bears about to spend the winter to pedal the fan for themselves.
As the fire continued to heat up, the balloon finally swelled, and the rope connecting the hanging basket was pulled straight.
Zhou Nan grinned and said to the three people standing on the side, "Come up!" There is a boundless snow scene below, waiting for the two ladies to watch. ”
Gao Yun, Yu Liyan and the other three entered the hanging basket, and Yinping carefully laid a thick cushion in the hanging basket so that the two of them could sit down.
As Zhou Fu untied the rope tied to the stone pillar, Zhou Nan waved his hand at Zhou Fu, and before he could speak, the huge lift took the four of them into the sky and flew north.
