In fact, it was not only these representatives of the four people who came from Tengchong, but also the representatives of the four people who were organized by Yang Qing to visit Huangzhuang this time were very concerned about the good breeds......

Of course, it's not just the Huangzhuang in Xuancheng.

More than 3,000 representatives of the four people from nine provinces, including Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Yunnan, Guizhou, Henan, Shandong, and Fujian, adding up to nearly 1,000 counties and guards, were grouped into provincial groups and scattered around Nanjing under the escort of Jinyi Guards to visit the imperial villages around Nanjing, so as to feel the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty under the rule of the prison state.

By the way, learn new knowledge of industry and agriculture.

Sweet potatoes are undoubtedly the stars.

This must be no suspense, whether it is from Yungui or from the Yimeng Mountains, all of them are like discovering the new world, pleasantly surprised to visit the planting process of this magical crop, listen to the people of Huangzhuang introduce its amazing yield and various uses, by the way eat roasted sweet potato, sweet potato dry porridge, sweet potato vermicelli stewed pork, sweet potato flour skin stewed chicken, drink sweet potato roast, and extravagant sweet potato, even the small tofu just made of sweet potato leaves have been eaten, completely immersed in the world of sweet potato......

These delegates were elected by lot.

It can almost be said that the vast majority are from the very bottom.

They know very well the value of this thing.

Corn is not too attractive, after all, the yield of corn at this time is about the same as that of wheat, at most it is more resistant to thin land than wheat, and it is valuable, but its value is limited. As for potatoes, it is not worth mentioning, the climate in the south of the Yangtze River can't play this, at most it is only a small number of vegetable garden crops, but there is another thing that has attracted great attention from the representatives of Yunnan and Guizhou, especially the representatives of Guizhou.

Chili pepper.

"Guys, how is this thing?"

In the village office of Xuancheng Huangzhuang, Yang Qing said with a smile to the representatives of Yunnan in front of him.

The latter is spicy.

The red chili oil dyed red dishes exuded the power of temptation on the table, and the Guizhou delegates who were so spicy that they kept drinking water seemed to wake up to something, even if they kept shouting spicy, but still the chopsticks kept rising and falling.

"Master Hou, this thing is the best!"

A representative of Shi Zhouwei sighed with a spicy mouth.

It is difficult to say the time when chili peppers were introduced into China, the earliest recorded in the late Wanli period, but Yunguichuan ate chili peppers in the late period of the old dog, in fact, this thing is not popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, even the restaurants in Nanjing are very rare, chili peppers are indeed planted in these imperial villages around Nanjing, but mainly for the army, this is to add seasoning agents to the canned food of the Henan garrison and also help it resist cold in winter, canned fish with chili peppers, with white rice, has been the standard configuration of the garrison along the Yellow River in winter.

But I don't eat much in the *** room.

But for the delegates from these humid mountainous areas of Guizhou, this spicy and sweaty feeling seems to evoke a certain attribute in their bones.

"This is the best thing indeed!"

Hundreds of Guizhou delegates almost praised in unison.

"After the Four People's Conference, one person will bring a bag of seeds back, there is no technology for this thing, just plant it in the vegetable garden!"

Marquis Zhongyong stroked his palms and smiled.

Industries that require technology are different.

Mule machine.

"It's a new spinning machine."

Yang Qing pointed to the spinning machine in the factory that was driven by water power and said.

Daming's textile industry has actually been very developed, at least the Jenny machine can't be used, because the efficiency of the hydraulic spinning wheel exceeds that of the Jenny machine, but the latter's manual can be used at home. To put it bluntly, the Aklay water-powered spinning machine is something similar to the water-powered spinning wheel, and it may even be a water-powered spinning wheel that steals from China, so the starting point of Yang Qing's reform can only be a mule machine.

"Master Hou, can you teach us this thing?"

A representative said, looking at the dense spindles on the spinning machine.

"Are you from Huangzhuang?"

Yang Qing asked.

"It's not."

The latter said.

"That's not good, this is all the military industrial system, under the equipment department of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, these spinning machines and looms, all under the management of the equipment department, Huangzhuang only has the right to manage and use, they must first follow the orders of the equipment department, complete the army's military uniforms, before they can sell other products spun out of their own."

Yang Qing said.

The mule machine and the water-powered loom were the basis of Huangzhuang's industrialization, which was an important part of draining the gentry's land labor force and forcing them to reduce their land rent. Because there are definitely not enough women in Huangzhuang, then they can only hire people from outside, such as the women of the surrounding gentry and tenants, and once these women are hired, they will also have the status of Huangzhuang, and their families will also have Huangzhuang status, and Huangzhuang will arrange new jobs for their family.

Even if their men operate these machines together or do something else.

In this way they abandoned the land of the gentry.

The efficiency of these new machines surpassed the old textile machines mastered by the gentry, who could only improve their machines if they wanted to compete, and a competitive industrial system was formed.

The more developed the industry of Huangzhuang.

Then the more people it will absorb from the surrounding areas, the more land of the gentry will also be abandoned, and the latter will deal with it in two ways, one is to reduce the rent, and the other is to sell the excess land, so that the government can buy it, and then merge these lands into the imperial estate, and finally expand the imperial estate step by step, so that the land area controlled by the gentry is smaller and smaller.

So the mule machine is not passed on.

But if someone other than Huangzhuang improves the spinning machine to the level of a mule machine, or even steals the technology of the mule machine altogether, then ......

Then Yang Qing will not interfere.

Anyway, no one can play him with technological reform.

Huangzhuang's machine can always be in the leading state, if someone outside Huangzhuang can improve the machine to surpass Huangzhuang, then he will only be relieved, because Daming's industry can finally not rely on his plug-in.

"What if the villain wants to join the Imperial Village?"

The man asked.

"Do you have land?"

Yang Qing asked.

"The small one has ten acres of land, and another ten acres are rented, and each acre is rented at 60%, otherwise it will not be able to support the family of seven."

The man replied.

"That's simple, take your ten acres of land and donate, according to the rules, you will be rent-free for ten years, that is to say, you don't have to pay the rent of Huangzhuang within ten years, but you need to be incorporated into the militia, as for the others, they are the same as Huangzhuang's. After ten years, according to the standard rent, Shangtian 40%, Shangtian 30%, Zhongtian 20%, Shimoda 10, if your ten acres are not enough, Huangzhuang will give you some according to the situation. If there is no extra land in Huangzhuang, a piece of land will be allocated for you to open up your own wasteland, and the land will not be rented for five years, and the rent will be set according to the situation in the future. If the Huangzhuang doesn't even have a place to open up the wasteland, then it is not impossible, you can divide the household from your family, for example, your son can divide a household if he has an adult, but instead of staying in the Huangzhuang but arranging it to other Huangzhuang, until he finds excess land or land that can be cleared. The newly divided households will have a subsidy for a year, which can ensure that they can eat, and the house will be built by the Huangzhuang in the Huangzhuang where it is determined, and of course, the expenses will be paid by the bank with a low-interest loan, including the cost of purchasing farm tools and seeds.

And then he paid it off over the next twenty years.

The interest rate is very low, even if you borrow one tael and pay it again for 20 years, it will change at most 1 or 25 yuan, and if you pay it in installments or in advance within 20 years, it will be even lower.

In short, as long as you join Huangzhuang, then Huangzhuang will not let you go hungry no matter what, Huangzhuang will give you a field if you have a field, and if you don't have a field, you will find a place to open up wasteland, and if there is no place to open up a wasteland, then you will find other Huangzhuang, and in the end you will always be given enough land and help you settle down. And the only thing you need to pay is that there is a young man in the family who joins the militia, and when the court needs it, accept the conscription to join the army as a soldier, of course, if you can be promoted when you are a soldier, then it can be said that the future is limitless.

I was just a small flag back then.

Jing Nanbo Huang Degong was just a donkey cart driver back then.

Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures!

It was really not good to be a soldier back then, the generals deducted military salaries, the soldiers could not eat enough, even if they died in battle, their families could not get pensions, and even their wives and children and parents could starve to death. But now it's different, our Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to military merits, and those who serve as soldiers also have a bright future, with the backing of Huangzhuang, even if they die on the battlefield, their wives and children are also free of food and clothing under the protection of Huangzhuang. ”

Yang Qing said.

"The little one understands, and the little one will do it when he goes back!"

The man said excitedly.

This account is very easy to calculate, within ten years of rent-free and a son to open a separate account, his ten acres of grain will barely be enough for the remaining six families to starve, and another five acres of wasteland will be enough for six families to eat even if the yield is low. What's more, there are new crops in Huangzhuang, he doesn't need to plant the ten acres of land with a rent of sixty percent, and it doesn't matter if the rent is paid after ten years, it is only two or three percent of the land rent, and he will also come out with another five acres of wasteland.

Even if he is still six in ten years, even if the yield of the newly opened wasteland is low, he can still guarantee that he will have enough to eat, after all, he is now twenty acres.

He now has ten acres and sixty percent of the rent.

Even if the rent is set at 30% in the future, under the condition that the output remains the same, he will get the same amount of grain, and now he has to pay taxes on the ten acres that belong to him. In this way, the tax paid is more, and even if the output of the newly opened land is less than 60% of the land rent, the tax can be offset against each other.

What's more......

His sons no longer had to be tenants for others.

He has two sons, the eldest son can continue to rent his land in the Huangzhuang, and the second son can get the land arranged by the Huangzhuang. If this is not the case, his second son will have to go out and rent the land of the landlord's family to become tenants! At that time, his second son had to be used as cattle and horses for generations, but now they don't need to, they have been emperors for generations.

As for being a soldier, that's nothing.

It is well known how good the conditions for being a soldier are now, and there are no worries at all, even if they die, the pension is considerable, not to mention that the entire Huangzhuang is taking care of its descendants, and even the children go to school for free.

Just like the Marquis of Zhongyong said.

Why don't the men take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures.

Once the meritorious promotion is developed!
