During the entire fourteenth year of Chongzhen, when this unique "spring tide" was raging, Xiao Xuan also knew very well that if he did not further improve the economic situation and even the people's livelihood in the world in this year, and it was likely to continue to face a not very good year, his political status and even the political legal system would be endangered. The influence and shaping of the character of "scholars" for a long time since the feudal era have not really changed greatly even under the influence of decades of Chinese revolution in the 20th century and decades of reform and opening up. It is impossible to overestimate what kind of impact and consequences this kind of "cultural song" in the true sense of the word that goes against tradition will bring.

Xiao Xuan was also very glad that he seemed to have realized this problem a few years ago, and his family background was not small. Before the main production tasks of the entire well-established military system began to switch to the production of iron farm tools, a large part of the newly established educational sector was used for printing and transcribing new teaching materials. There are also five or six million pieces of new steel agricultural tools prepared, with a total of about 10,000 tons. At the same time, millions of copies of various agricultural educational materials and propaganda personnel have been hoarded.

At the beginning of the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, these things that had been hoarded in the past seven or eight years, and a considerable part of them were newly transported from Europe in the past few years, and the tools that would have a great effect on agriculture were sent to the central governor's district and even along the canals, which were relatively easy to supervise, to many places in the north.

In Xiao Xuan's view, for the agriculture of the old era, the lowest cost and the most feasible way to improve agriculture is the popularization of some traditional agricultural production tools that have been invented. Of course, there is also the popularization of the calendar and agricultural knowledge. In the first few years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no basis for large-scale feeding of new water conservancy construction, and the grain output was still raised from 110 million tons to about 189 million tons under the condition that the output of chemical fertilizers was still negligible. These things made yeoman farmers a more efficient form of labor than agricultural collectivization at a certain time.

Of course, in addition to continuing these supplementary courses for the primary modernization of agriculture, the shipbuilding industry has also developed on a considerable scale in the past. In particular, after adopting some new shipbuilding methods and popularizing them, and also obtaining a large number of craftsmen from Europe and completing the digestion to a large extent, the shipbuilding volume of domestic ocean-going ships reached about 150,000 deadweight tons shortly after the end of Chongzhen's 12th to 13th year expedition, which was significantly improved compared with the previous level. If we add in the many ocean-going ships that were obtained from Europe in this era, the total scale of available ocean-going deadweight ships has reached the level of more than 500,000 tons, about 1,000 ships.

Even on such a scale, although it is possible to make the greatest use of the scale of European industrial products in metals, stationery, etc., and replace them with the transportation of these goods, and greatly improve the domestic economic potential, it is clear that there is still a long way to go before the immediate direct transportation of large quantities of grain and the diffusion of some people to directly alleviate the agricultural potential

Therefore, after dealing with many things in the northwest region, the speed of emigration through the Hexi Corridor has also accelerated to a large extent. In about a year, a million young men and women of childbearing age have traveled to the river and beyond through the Northwest Passage. However, Xiao Xuan would rather spend more costs in this kind of migration and immigration, rather than let too many criminal groups or even groups that are not internally unstable enrich themselves to the point that they are not actually frontiers, but a new vast robbery outside the territory.

To a large extent, the changes brought about by agricultural extension have also changed the status of the female labor force in many northern regions, and have reduced the fertility rate in some places in disguise, and have also had a certain curbing effect on the "spring tide" blowing in the central governorate in the south. Because in the past, many women on hard fields worked too expensive, or too inefficient. However, after the popularization of steel agricultural tools, the area of land that can be effectively cultivated has increased a lot compared to before.

It's just that just these changes, Xiao Xuan still feels a little unsafe, and when disasters in many places come in the summer, there are more blackmails against many places in Dongying. The amount of grain shipped from Dongying, Burma, and Majapahit reached nearly 30 million stones, including a lot of local stocks. Coupled with the relatively reliable administrative system after the previous rectification, this allowed the disasters that continued in Chongzhen's fourteen years to be eliminated invisibly to the greatest extent.

On the whole, although the development burden brought by industry and commerce has increased, and the year is not very good, because the improvement of agriculture and even people's livelihood is still like spending a good year in a place where politics is still clear. Of course, this can't completely offset the negative impact of some of Xiao Xuan's "perverse actions" against tradition this year, but it also allows many people to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble to be dissipated invisibly.

Of course, the entire fourteenth year of Chongzhen, a "disaster year like a good year", coupled with the lifting of the ban in many fields from culture to industry and commerce, also made many counterfeits and shoddy flourish for a while.

In this case, after the "spring tide", Xiao Xuan also began to further wage war against the tradition of "kissing and concealing" when the autumn harvest had just passed. The new guidelines stipulate that even ordinary counterfeiters and counterfeiters should be reported to fellow villagers, villages, or even direct relatives if the standard amount is too small to immigrate to the hero's outer city for protection. The state will also rearrange land outside the country for "migrant security" or even incentives.

In the past, "migration to the outside world" was still a daunting thing. After all, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee what the situation is when things are thousands of miles away, but after the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, many people stationed in the western regions west of the river to Taixi returned to their hometowns in turn, coupled with Xiao Xuan's prepared cooperation with the propaganda, the people in most places have learned that in the real Western Regions and even Taixi, it is not a wild and bitter cold place as they imagined, but can be a place like many provinces in the Central Plains, where people are rich in population, and the folk customs have also become softer in the suppression. And it will also have a lot of benefits that have been promised before.

Since then, there has been an increase in the number of cases of direct relatives of the same township, village, and even spouses and children reporting to each other all kinds of crimes of a general nature, such as counterfeiting and shoddy, infringement, and so on. Not only some wealthy families, but even some wealthy people and even ordinary traders who were a little bad in the past also felt a "cold wind" that seemed to come from their surroundings after the "spring tide"
