With each passing day, the vicissitudes of life.

On March 15 of the following year, spring ploughing had just ended.

The endless Jianghan Plain is no longer as green as it used to be, and there are black fields as far as the eye can see, which is the grass ash left by the burning of vegetation when the people reclaim the wasteland, which can be used as fertilizer for the coming year.

Agricultural tools and water conservancy equipment such as curved plows and cylinder carts invented by the medical school have significantly improved the efficiency of sowing and transplanting rice, and rice seedlings can be faintly seen under the black plant ash.

The reclamation of 3,000 tilts of barren land is the result of the efforts of Zhenguan in the fifth year to the sixth year and five months in Zhenguan.

In order to encourage the reclamation of wasteland, and in order to prevent the newly cultivated fields from being barren, Li Yuan promulgated the Qingmiao Law in Jinling.

The common people could borrow from the government for new seeds during the spring ploughing, and then collect 20 percent interest at the time of the autumn harvest.

You must know that in the private usury rampant, rolling interest is not uncommon, some families of flies and dogs rely on loans to make a fortune, and Wang Xifeng in the dream of Red Mansions is making a living as a usury in private.

Although these things that squeeze the blood of the people have always been despised by the big families, but the law that everything can't be true, those who are in charge of the rich family take this opportunity to lend, and they may borrow very little, but the profits are rolling, and the last family will lose money to be the tenant farmers of the family.

The accumulation of primitive capital is so bloody.

The Qingmiao Law implemented by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty was resisted by the old party of scholars, and Li Yuan was naturally no exception.

Especially in the south, where the atmosphere of the family is heavier.

Unlike the Guanlong aristocracy's emphasis on military exploits, the southern family inherited the continuation of the Qing Dynasty since the Wei and Jin dynasties, which was not pragmatic.

The family behaved extravagantly and kept a large number of private slaves.

Jinling, Jade Liquid Palace.

Li Yuan was dressed in regular clothes, kneeling on a straw mat, holding a pen to deal with the government affairs on the case.

His expression was indifferent, and he annotated with a red pen.

Unlike in the Chang'an Imperial Palace, now he and Li Shimin are ruling by dividing the river and leading the government affairs of the south, and there is absolutely no ease and slackness in the capital.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.

"Qingshui County has reclaimed ten tilts of wasteland, and the people have borrowed 200 stone of rice, how can there be such a low reclamation rate?" Li Yuan frowned and stopped writing.

The high-yield farmland of the Tang Dynasty was different from that of later generations, and in later generations, a household had a maximum of about ten acres of land, but in the Tang Dynasty, a household had at least 100 acres of land.

It can be known from the continuation of the Juntian system of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Men over the age of 15 are given 40 acres of open fields for millet and 20 acres for women. Slaves and maids were also given land. 1 head of ploughing cattle is granted to the field, and the limit is 4 cows. The rotation of the field needs to be doubled or doubled. It is forbidden to buy and sell the land, and the land is returned to the land when old or dead, and the land granted to slaves and cattle is returned according to the presence or absence of slaves and cattle and cows.

The man was awarded 20 acres of mulberry fields. The mulberry field industry does not have to be returned to the state, but can be passed on to children and grandchildren, and the excess can be sold, or the part less than 20 acres can be bought. The man who produces hemp gives 10 acres of hemp field, and the woman 50 acres, and returns to the field after old age and death.

Therefore, with the Junda system as a background, the more males are born, the more prosperous the family will be. For example, in Guanzhong, the number of fields granted will decrease accordingly, and in remote areas, the number of fields granted will also increase accordingly.

Qingshui County is one of the 12 new counties that Li Yuan has just divided in Huguang, which is specifically responsible for resettlement and reclamation, and is a newly established county.

There are about 100,000 people in one county, but only 10 dumps of land have been cultivated!

An acre of land is a thousand acres.

Even one person cultivating one acre will not achieve such an effect.

However, Li Yuan personally inspected it in Huguang, and according to statistics, there were about 3,000 hectares of wasteland reclaimed.

But the sum of the thirteen counties is only more than 700.

Isn't it possible to lose the rest?

Hehe!

Li Yuan sneered.

The painting screen took a cup of tea and put it beside Li Yuan, and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I don't care about this matter of reclaiming the wasteland for a while, I still drank this cup of ginseng soup first." ”

Li Yuan took a sip lightly and said, "Mingyan, the history of Chen Thorn from Jiangnan and West Province is here, I have something to ask him." ”

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, there were only two levels of prefectures and counties, and there were a total of 108 prefectures in the country.

Therefore, according to the old practice, Li Yuan divided the south into Jiangnan West Province, Jiangnan East Province, Shannan West Province, Huainan Province, Qianzhong Province, Annan Province, Lingnan Province, Jiannan Province and Annam Province.

There are nine in total.

A Tao is roughly akin to a province in later generations.

It's just that this kind of division is more about selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it is a territory divided according to the future provincial system.

Originally, there was only one Jiangnan Province in Jiangnan, but Jiangnan accounted for seventy percent of the taxes in the south, and it was too dangerous to divide one province, so it was divided into Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Province, that is, Jiangxi and Jiangsu provinces.

Each is governed by the Thorn History.

It didn't take long for Chen Tingshi to hurry to the Jade Liquid Palace.

"When you come to see Your Majesty, I wish Your Majesty ten thousand blessings." Chen Tingshi respectfully bowed to his body.

"I don't know which county Chen Thorn Shi came from?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Chen Tingshi was immediately full of pride, got up and bowed: "The minister is from the Yingchuan Chen family, and he is the great-great-grandson of the seventeenth Marquis of Yingyin. ”

For the big families, talking about their county wang is the most proud time, the county wang is the lintel, which can prove the nobility of the noble bloodline, and make them more proud than their own official position.

The Marquis of Yingyin is the title of Cao Wei Sikong Chen Qun, Chen Qun was born in a famous family, and was opened by Liu Bei as a special driver in Yuzhou in his early years. When Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, he was made a subordinate of Cao Peng in Sikong Xi, and later transferred to the military of the prime minister. When Cao Cao was crowned Duke of Wei, he served as the imperial historian of Wei. After worshipping the Ministry of Shangshu, Fengchang Wuting Marquis. After the establishment of Cao Wei, he successively served as Shang Shuling, the general of the town army, the middle guard army, and the Lu Shang Shushi. After Cao Pi's death, Chen Qun was appointed as an assistant. Cao Rui ascended the throne, served as Sikong, recorded Shangshu, and was tired of sealing the Marquis of Yingyin.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, the Yingchuan Chen family has been prestigious for more than 400 years, and Yingchuan County is the first to recommend the Chen family, and even Chen Baxian of Southern Chen also thinks that he is the descendant of the Yingchuan Chen family. Chen is the fifth largest surname in China, and there are as many as 40 million of the 60 million people in Yingchuan Chen.

Although the southern family is headed by the Xiao family, the Yingchuan Chen family is not too reckless, and it is a first-class family.

Its ancestor Wei Sikong Chen Qun was the drafter who established the nine-product Zhongzheng system, and listed Yingchuan Chen as the honor of the first grade.

"Yes, it's good, it's just that I promoted you to let you take charge of Huguang's reclamation of wasteland, but you. That's what it did to me?

Your ancestor Yingyin Marquis is afraid that he will be ashamed to see your back. Li Yuan said.

"This" Chen Tingshi's face turned red, and he took the fold handed by Li Yuan, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became.

Not only Qingshui County, but also three of the thirteen newly divided counties had unusually low reclamation targets, so how could he not understand such a reason?

It's just that the traditional practice is to pretend to be confused!
