Chapter 185: Cui Zhouping's troubles
Time in Liu Yi and others non-stop busy, gradually passed the hot summer, autumn has also come to an end, although Changsha is still lush, but can already feel a desolation only in winter, just like Cui Zhouping's mood at the moment.
"Juncheng, this is a document handed over by the fishing township, now that the autumn harvest has passed, the government hopes that the county will be able to raise 10,000 people for the government." Linxiang, Taishou Mansion, the chief bookkeeper Chen Li handed a copy to Cui Zhouping, and said with a wry smile: "In this way, I am afraid that the men in several counties of Changsha will be mobilized." ”
"Ten thousand!?" Rao is Cui Zhouping has been prepared for a long time, and he also has an urge to shout when he hears this, of course, there is no such mantra in this era, but the ideas are similar.
The population of the entire Changsha County is only about 100,000, aside from the old, weak, sick and disabled, it would be good to have 30,000 men, this winter, everything is dormant, everyone at home when the wives and children are hot on the kang, at this time, the levy of the people's husband, in terms of farming, is indeed beneficial, but these 10,000 people are just sent to the shore of Dongting Lake, it is not a small problem, the distance between Linxiang and Liu Yi's fishing township, almost more than 200 miles, even if it is transported by boat, Liu Yi's fleet is transferred, it will take two or three trips to complete the mobilization, not to mention, these 10,000 people, Linxiang can't take it out here, and it has to be collected.
In fact, as early as Cui Zhouping took office, he had been actively preparing for this matter, but he didn't expect Liu Yi to mobilize so many people at one time.
This is not counting the supply of grain and grass for these people, this Changsha is not Jiangling, which can not afford to support 10,000 people, Liu Yi's money, Cui Zhouping knows it, although in the second half of the year, I heard that Liu Yi's fishing farm, chicken farm, duck farm, ceramic workshop, and Tiangongfang are making money, but that is just an exaggeration, but the reputation of the fishing town has gradually spread in Changsha, and in the past six months, the villages established by Liu Yi have absorbed a lot of people in the past.
"Show me?" Cui Zhouping grabbed the bamboo slip and spread it out, frowning and looking over.
Liu Yi's letter made it very clear that he wanted 10,000 people, not limited to men and women, but they must be young and strong, and those with certain skills are preferred, and it is best to go with husband and wife, which will also help to reproduce the population.
In this way, it is more convenient, and the scope of manpower migration has expanded, Cui Zhouping grabbed his turban, thought for a while, and said: "In this case, the three thousand people we collected before, tell them that there are family members who can be brought over together, so ten thousand people should be about the same." ”
Cui Zhouping knew Liu Yi's detailed plan to build the city, and even the design of the city was personally involved in it, so he naturally began to prepare for Liu Yi's city construction a long time ago, and the three thousand people were already ready, and now he is dragging his family and his mouth in the past, it is estimated that he will ...... This Linxiang is half empty!
Liu Yi built a few villages in the area of the fishing township, most of which are empty so far, these people can probably be filled in the past, and if they can't let go, that's what Liu Yi should consider.
Fishing township is Liu Yi's name for the Zhuangzi where he lives, because the fish produced in the fish pond are fat and fresh, and the welcome of Jiangling, public security and the dignitaries of the four counties of Jingnan has become a stepping stone for the Mi family to open the Shu and Jiangdong markets, so Liu Yi's biggest benefit here is here, in order to facilitate confirmation, Liu Yi simply named this place as a fishing town.
Of course, chickens and ducks are also widely sold for agricultural and sideline products, but people on both sides of the Yangtze River still like to eat some fish and shrimp, so these are still the best sales, and they are also the main products in the food category at present.
In order to be able to supply enough fish and protect the ecology in the fish pond, Liu Yi expanded two fish ponds, in addition, with the start of the textile factory, Liu Yi transplanted and planted a lot of mulberry trees around the fish pond, mulberry leaves were used to raise silkworms, silkworm sand and silkworm pupae were made into bait, silk was sent to the textile factory to weave, and the mud at the bottom of the fish pond plus the manure of the chicken farm and duck farm was dug out as fertilizer for mulberry trees, forming an organic cycle.
There seems to have been a similar practice in his previous life, and Liu Yi also tried to do so, if he can form a cycle, he can save a lot of bait for feeding fish, and he can also be self-sufficient in textiles.
Lumberyards and brick kilns, tile kilns are prepared for the future construction of the city, pure investment has no income, Liu Yi is now in order to accumulate enough funds, are relying on fine cloth, porcelain, eggs, duck eggs, fish these things as the main to make profits, feed the lumber yard and brick kiln at the same time can also get some income, the past half a year, the income is very considerable, plus each village has set up restaurants, wine shops, basically, Liu Yi can now get about 20 million net income per month, according to Liu Yi's calculations, 10,000 people project, It's barely enough to last three months, and after this winter is over, you can only reduce your expenses.
A large number of fields on both sides can come in handy when the time comes, and the population drawn from the counties will be retained as much as possible to form an economic and political center centered on the new city and radiating to the surrounding areas.
Cui Zhouping didn't expect Liu Yi to have such a big appetite, migrating people is not a simple matter, and it may cause turmoil if you are not careful, after all, in this era, people's rural complex is much stronger than in modern times.
Before the recruitment of 3,000 laborers, that is to say that to work, make money and come back, but now it is to drag the family with the past, Linxiang is the seat of Changsha County, the future of the new city can become the county seat of the place to draw a question mark, you tell people that people will believe it?
Chen Li obviously also thought of this problem, and looked at Cui Zhouping with a wry smile: "Juncheng, I'm afraid this move will cause dissatisfaction, unless the people are forcibly relocated, but in that case, it is very easy to cause commotion and unrest among the people, maybe the people will go directly to Jiangdong." ”
Cui Zhouping was also worried by Liu Yi's request when he heard this, pacing back and forth in the hall of the government office, and only after a long time did he look at Chen Li and said, "Go to each county to post a list ......."
After thinking about it, Cui Zhouping said: "Let's just say that the emperor wants to build a new city, reclaim wasteland, and recruit more displaced people, and those who are willing to go can not only enjoy the right to tax exemption for two years, but also those who perform well can be allocated a room in the new city according to the capture." ”
The newly reclaimed fields must be owned by the government, and Liu Bei also gave Liu Yi convenience, before the new city was built, Changsha taxes were all owned by Liu Yi for the construction of the new city.
Now the situation of land annexation in Changsha is no worse than the prosperous land of Jingbei, Cui Zhouping has been in power for several months, and naturally found those powerful ways to avoid taxes, the Cui family actually does this kind of thing, but it is not so arrogant, but Cui Zhouping can be sure that as soon as this list is posted, there will definitely be a lot of tenant farmers who will move, and he will do some propaganda for Liu Yi, tell him who Liu Yi is, what kind of achievements he has, and set up his image, and naturally there will be tenant farmers who cannot bear the oppression to vote.
Of course, you have to grasp the degree, otherwise if you touch the interests of those powerful people too much, you will definitely encounter a backlash, Cui Zhouping is just acting as an agent for Changsha County, and he didn't vote for Liu Bei, there is no need to offend people for this, just accept it when you see it, meet Liu Yi's requirements, and appease those heroes, as for the rest, Liu Bei is not in a hurry, what do you care?
When Chen Li heard this, he also felt that this method was feasible, so he immediately said goodbye and went to handle the matter.
Cui Zhouping rubbed his temples, this county is more tired than the state pastor, and I don't know if the fishing village is like a paradise as people say? When it's time for this, I'm going to check it out for myself! Liu Boyuan, you owe a lot of favors!
"Ah sneeze~"
Five miles east of the fishing village, Liu Yi, who was mixing limestone with iron sand and clay, suddenly sneezed.
"Is the gentleman infected with the wind chill? I'm going to ask the healer to come over! Seeing this, Chen Ergou hurriedly cared.
"It's okay, I guess someone misses me." Liu Yi waved his hand, his body is very good, everyone else is fine, how can he be okay?
"Be careful, I have a hunch that this time it will almost work!" Liu Yi stared at the mixture that was poured out of the fire pot, feeling that it was almost over, and there were no less than ten tests on cement during this time.
The next thing is to mix it with gypsum ink city powder and use it.
"Is the record clear?" Liu Yi looked at the person next to him who was in charge of recording data and asked.
"I remember." The other party nodded.
"Let's get started!" Liu Yi said to the worker next to him.
"Whoa!"
The two workers began to pour water into the mixture, and then quickly stirred it into a slurry, Liu Yi kept staring, feeling that it was almost over, waved his hand to signal the two to stop, and then asked people to bring two freshly burned bricks, plastered with cement and glued together.
All that's left is to wait.
After Liu Yi determined the water ratio again, he stood up and waited for the cement to cool.
"Sir, even if it is done, this cauldron can only forge this, if you want to build a city, how many cauldrons will it need?" Chen Ergou looked at Liu Yi and said curiously.
Liu Yi feels good about this Chen Ergou, he is a very studious junior, and he can also think about problems on his own, which is worth cultivating.
"Now it's just an experiment, and when it really happens, it will naturally build a bigger furnace to specialize in smelting." Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Is it really as powerful as Mr. said?" Chen Ergou said curiously.
"Hey, wait, as long as it is done, it will definitely not be in the future, but when this new city is built, it will be the first strong city in the world!" Liu Yi said confidently: "Chang'an and Luoyang can't be compared, they are immortal for thousands of years!" ”
The things he built, but with attributes, this thing, the technology he knows is an inexplicable existence, he really wants to see if the bricks of the future generations will evaluate the city he built in this era as one of the wonders of the world!
"If that's the case, sir, you'll be famous!" Chen Ergou said with admiration.
"Less sycophants!" Liu Yi patted him on the head, laughed and scolded, let's talk about it later.
