Let the woman say! "Agricultural production. It is only necessary to expand the cultivated area and increase the number of acres. In two small aspects, since the founding of our dynasty, the country and the people have been safe, and the people's enthusiasm for cultivating wasteland is also very high; first, there is no more wasteland that can be expanded, and second, there is no more labor input to reclaim wasteland, so it is the key to develop agriculture and increase the yield of grain per mu. This requires meticulous workmanship. For example, intensive production. Cause high-quality crops, build water conservancy, build a three-dimensional agricultural model, etc

"Three-dimensional agriculture? What do you mean? ，

"For example. Use the low-lying land of the river to dig ponds and cultivate foundations, ponds to raise fish, base surface to plant mulberry, cane planting, planting melons, fruits and vegetables or forage. In short, it is mixed planting, multi-layer utilization, and the planting and breeding industry that combines agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery. small

Although the ancients have been aware of mixed planting, it is far from being as in-depth and extensive as modern agricultural research, and most of them are some of the farmers' own experience, which is at a very low initial stage, and has not formed systematic knowledge, let alone as an agricultural science and technology promotion, and ordinary people do not know, Song Shenzong, as the emperor, is even more unlikely to understand specific agricultural matters, so he is at a loss.

Du Wenhao's parents' hometown was in the countryside, and when he was a child, he often went back to the countryside with his parents to visit relatives, and he heard and witnessed a lot of farming. I also learned some agricultural knowledge in geography class. All he saw were the results of modern agricultural research. A thousand years ago, it was naturally very advanced agricultural technology.

Du Wenhao said: "Let's take a simple example of three-dimensional agriculture. Rice is grown, fish and pings are raised in the rice fields. It can not only meet the needs of fish, but also can be used as feed for pigs and ducks, and can also solve the raw materials of the biogas digester

"Biogas digesters?" This is also a new term for Song Shenzong.

Biogas digester Du Wenhao's parents have their hometown, he understands this very well, and explained at the moment: "It is a pond that treats the manure of people and livestock, since it can keep the home environment clean and hygienic, you can also use biogas slurry to fertilize, which is a good organic fertilizer, in addition." Biogas is treated by special equipment, which is a very safe and convenient fuel, which can be burned for cooking and heating, and the biogas residue can also be fed to fish after treatment. ”

"Interesting!" Song Shenzong said with interest, "I didn't expect you to know a lot about farming, your methods sound very good."

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment. If you want to develop agriculture, another measure is to increase the population, and Wechen has a way to increase the population.

Song Shenzong's eyes lit up: "Oh? Let's hear it. ”

How to increase the population. In order to increase the labor force, this is definitely one of the most urgent problems that the emperors of all dynasties have wanted to solve. In a small-scale peasant economy and society, the population is the labor force, the combat strength, and the national strength. If the population is large, there will be laborers engaged in production and undertaking various types of service, and there will be soldiers who can defend the country and even expand the territory, and the country will be prosperous. As soon as he heard that Du Wenhao had a way to increase the population, he couldn't help but be very interested in Song Shenzong.

Du Wenhao said: "In order to increase the population, we must encourage the increase of the population from the system, and at the same time, revise the system that objectively restricts the increase of the population

"How to encourage? What systems will be changed? ”

"The main reason why the people are reluctant to increase the population is that they can't afford to support it, and the rich people are just the poor people. One more mouthful, one more mouth, if there are not many people with few fields, or tenants who rent land. Whether or not to give birth or not is indeed a big issue that needs to be considered repeatedly. Practical measures must be taken to address their concerns in order to encourage childbearing

"What measures?"

"The most radical way is, of course, to carry out land reform."

"Agrarian reform? How to change? ”

"That is, all the land is nationalized and the sale of land is prohibited. Then, the contract of joint production will be implemented, and the land will be redistributed and adjusted for a period of 30 years. However, this is almost impossible to realize

"Why?" Song Shenzong asked subconsciously.

"Because the big landowners will not agree unless they are forcibly requisitioned. But the state probably can't afford to spend so much money on land acquisition. "Hmm. So what institutions are hindering population growth? ”

"The main one is the tax system. At present, our dynasty is implementing a two-tax law, double taxation of land and capitation. The poll tax is the biggest obstacle to population growth! Because increasing the number of people is increasing taxes, the average farmer is reluctant to give birth as long as the labor force is barely enough. ”

Song Shenzong was stunned: "You mean abolishing the poll tax?" ”

"Not really. To be precise, it should be in the tax that the poll tax is apportioned, and this bucket is divided into acres! Ding rises from the ground. There is more tax on more fields, less taxes on less fields, and no taxes on land, so that there will be no increase in taxes because of having children

Song Shenzong stood up and walked slowly around the study with his hands behind his back: "Your method is not bad. I just don't know if I can implement it

Du Wenhao said: "If you spread the land into the mu, the tax will be more for those who have more land, and the big landlords will naturally not do it, and if you want to implement it, there must be resistance."

"Well, you have to think about this carefully, and let's go on, you say that industry is like a human lung," the breath of the human body. "Without lungs, there is no breath, and there is no life." Without industry, the country will perish. This has a certain amount of truth, you said that you should vigorously develop imitation weaving, manufacturing and other workshops, but I don't know what specific measures there are? ”

"This involves the problem that Wechen said last time, Wechen has some very useful formulas that can be made into finished medicines for sale. There are also some Xiao Ming, can provide production, these drugs and equipment will be welcomed by the people, but, once produced, the market is very good, the people welcome, some mercenary people must imitate the manufacturing, so it will damage the interests of Wechen, so, there is no system to protect the interests of Wechen, Wechen does not want to announce the production of these equipment

"Well, what did you say you were going to do?" ”

"The Intellectual Property Law is what is known to him, and he can only produce it alone, and others want to produce it. It is necessary to pay the fee, how much the cost, the two parties can negotiate, without consent to counterfeit production. to compensate for the loss of the Ming people, and even play the board and go to prison

"This" Song Shenzong looked hesitant, "The last time you mentioned this matter, Lian felt that it was inappropriate, it was simple to issue a decree, but there were no ancient rules, the people would not admit it, and there were many people who imitated it." You can't catch them all, can you? ”

Du Wenhao was silent. He knew that the ancient sense of rights was almost non-existent, and suddenly to give rise to such advanced intellectual property rights. The people really can't accept it, and it seems that they have also committed the same mistake of Wang Anshi's eagerness for quick success. At present, the maintenance of the interests of the product can only rely on technical confidentiality

Song Shenzong looked gloomy when he saw him. smiled and said: "That's it, you make it first, make it out and use it, if it's really good, you will make the decision for you, and others are not allowed to imitate it." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Du Wenhao said, "Let's talk about the industrial technology later." ”

"It's okay" Song Shenzong picked up Du Wenhao's article, "As you said above, the blood is like a ring square, the end, and the camp is endless, and you also said that there are clouds in "Su Wen": "The liver can see when it receives blood, the foot can walk when it receives blood, the palm can hold when it receives blood, and the finger can take it when it receives blood" You compare business to the blood, saying that business is the driving force for the normal operation of the body. This. Lian did not think so, since ancient times, the emphasis on righteousness over profit, emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business, is ancient, all dynasties have been like this, why the people are living and working in peace and contentment, and do not see the collapse of the country, the people are in trouble? ”

Du Wenhao said: "But." Throughout the ages, those above the well-off family are less than one in ten; This is the result of not paying attention to business, and if we can pay close attention to business, the life of the people will be much better. ”

"Really?" A sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of Song Shenzong's mouth, but this time he didn't get angry, and he didn't argue with Du Wenhao, he just changed the topic slightly: "Let's not talk about this for now." In your article, you compare the army to the body, fists and feet, the external enemy to the six external feelings, and the internal strife to the seven emotions and internal injuries. And quoted the cloud of "Su Wen": "The saint does not cure the disease, does not cure the disease, does not cure the disorder, the husband's disease has become the medicine, the chaos has become and then the cure, such as thirst and piercing the well, fighting and casting the cone, and not calling late!" , and used the cloud in "Lu's Spring and Autumn Period": "Flowing water is not rotten, the hub is not stupid, and it moves." The same is true for the spirit. If the form does not move, the spirit will not flow, and if the spirit does not flow, the spirit will be depressed." It is very good to say that army building must prevent trouble before it happens. As for how to build, do you say that we should build a professional army and take the road of elite soldiers? What is a professional army and how to crack it? ”

Du Wenhao said: "Forgive the minister. Our Great Song army has more than one million people, far more than Liao, Xia, Tubo, etc., why do you fight many times, with fewer victories and more losses? ”

Song Shenzong's face was displeased, and after a moment, he regained his composure: "What do you think?" ”

"It's because the soldiers are not good. The commander is incompetent. Most of the van troops at the station lacked professional training, and more of them were reduced to conscripts, and when they started fighting, they could be regarded as just suitable for the situation, and they had no combat effectiveness at all.

In particular, civilian officials are commanders, and generals change too frequently, and soldiers do not know generals, and generals do not know soldiers. Weichen also knew that this was to prevent the border generals from supporting their own troops and even dividing one side, but this system also seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the army. Song Shenzong was stunned, looked at Du Wenhao for a long time, and said slowly: "There are few people who dare to speak so bluntly in front of the Lian" Hehe, you are bold enough. ”

"Weichen is really unwilling to see me being bullied by Xiaoxiao in a big country, so I dare to speak the truth and ask the emperor for forgiveness."

"Hehe, so you have a sincere heart, huh? What you said is also true, and this is what the Union has been worried about. Not to mention the distance, let's take the battle of Yongle City in the Western Expedition to Western Xia, 200,000 generals died in battle, and blamed the cause of defeat, including this one! It's just that this is a testament left by Emperor Taizu, and it's inconvenient to change it. ”

"If you don't change it, the result will be to continue to suffer defeat!" Du Wenhao said lightly.

Song Shenzong's body shook slightly. Nodding slowly, he walked slowly in the house with his hands behind his back.

After a few turns, Song Shenzong stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you know why I specially called you to see Lian tonight?" ”

"I don't know."

"Chengdu Fu Road borders the Lizhou and Yazhou areas of Tibet, where there is itching, countless deaths and injuries of people and animals, and local doctors are helpless. The army of the western mountain tribe of Tubo took the opportunity to attack the frontier and broke through the city of Yazhou, and the officials of the Yazhou prefect, the commander of the unified army, and the officials of Gouguan Chang Pingchang were all martyred. Lian has issued an order today, and Han Xiu, the governor of the council, will be the general of the Western Expedition, leading 10,000 forbidden troops and 30,000 Chengdu Fuluxiang troops to attack the western mountains of Tubo. I called you here, originally I was going to send you with the army to the Western Regions Frontier to comfort the people. ”

Du Wenhao was a little surprised, it turned out that the emperor asked him to go on an expedition with the army, but he had heard about the invasion of the border by Tubo, but he didn't expect that the emperor finally decided to send troops.

During the Song Dynasty, Tibet was in a state of fragmentation, forming a number of tribes, large and small, and there was no unified political power for 400 years. This attack on Chengdu Fulu is only one of the tribes, named Xishan, compared to the Great Song Dynasty, the population of Tubo is not much, a whole fall is even less, the Song God Sect sent 40,000 soldiers to fight against it, it can be said that the chicken is killed with a knife, and the ambition is bound to win.

Du Wenhao has not participated in the ancient war, after hearing about it, not only did his heartbeat speed up, this trip from Tokyo Kaifeng to Shudi Chengdu, the road is not close, but after listening to the emperor's words, there may be other arrangements, and hurriedly listened.

Song Shenzong continued: "After listening to your policy of governance, Lian changed his mind, and Lian doesn't know if what you said will work. However, it sounds like there is some truth, so the United has decided to give you a chance to display your ambitions, and the United also wants to see if your medical and statecraft strategies are really feasible. ”

Du Wenhao was stunned, he wrote this article just to deal with the errand and not let Song Shenzong look down on himself, he never thought of really putting it into practice, he didn't expect Song Shenzong to take it seriously, and he wanted to give himself a chance to listen to him. Do you have to be the prime minister yourself and continue Wang Anshi's changes?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but beat up with a heart, and I didn't know what to say when I was dry, so I stammered: "The emperor, the micro-ministers"

"Du Aiqing knelt down and listened to the wrong!"

Du Wenhao's heart jumped again, and he hurriedly picked up his robe and knelt down.

Song Shenzong said slowly: "Lianfeng you are in charge of Changping Guanghuicang in Yazhou, and you are also in charge of farmland and water conservancy, armor protection, righteousness, and other affairs. You can implement your new policy in Yazhou, and the Federation has decreed that no one will be allowed to interfere with the administration of the new law within your borders. Up to three years. If it is effective, we will entrust you with important tasks. ”

The institutions of the first-level administrative region of the Northern Song Dynasty Road are mainly divided into four supervision departments, namely Shuai, Cao, Xian, and Cang. All were appointed by the emperor. Shuai is also the pacification envoy, and he is the military and political chief all the way; Cao is a transshipment envoy, managing all the way to the wealth. Ensure the full amount of local funds. At the same time, they inspected the territory under their jurisdiction and impeached officials. The constitution is to mention the official affairs of the prison and manage the prison; The warehouse is to lift the Changping Division. In addition to managing famine relief matters, he is also in charge of farmland water conservancy pruning, armor protection, and farms. Corresponding to the lifting of the road, the prefectures and counties under the road are also correspondingly set up with collusion officers and payers.

Therefore, the emperor appointed Du Wenhao to take charge of Yazhou's regular liquidation, and the position is similar to... Several with the director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, the director of the Agricultural Zhao Bureau, and the director of the Commercial Bureau and the Ministry of Armed Forces... The rank of the Sichuan management official is very low, only the seventh rank, Du Wenhao is now the imperial chief doctor, the fifth grade official, and it is reasonable to serve as such a small official. On the surface, it was degraded, but in fact, this was a test field given by the emperor to Du Wenhao, so that he could implement the new policy according to his own ideas without any restrictions in Yazhou. This kind of power is quite large, and it is equivalent to setting up a special economic zone directly under the central government in Yazhou, with Du Wenhao taking full responsibility for the economic construction of the special zone.

Song Shenzong also had his considerations. On the one hand, he was very interested in many new ideas for governance that Du Wenhao had never mentioned in all aspects of agriculture, industry and commerce, and the army, and after careful consideration, he felt that it was still feasible, so he wanted him to try it, pilot it first, and then promote it, but on the other hand, he was worried that it would be messed up and make the already chaotic change even more chaotic, so he gave him a small border state to carry out a pilot project. It is far away from the capital, and the emperor is far away, even if something goes wrong, it will not affect the overall situation.

Du Wenhao originally thought that he was going to be the prime minister. After listening to it, I realized that it was a small border state hook officer, slightly disappointed, but to be able to leave the Beijing division that accompanied the king like a tiger, to the local official, and the emperor also said that the land for himself to carry out a new law change, this is of course much more meaningful than being a royal doctor in the capital, and the emperor has already said that it is good to do a good job, and he is very happy, and hurriedly kowtows to thank him.

Song Shenzong said again: "You can take your family to go west with Han Xiu's army, and wait there after arriving in Chengdu." After the army has quelled the invasion of the Tibetan army and recovered Yazhou, you can enter Yazhou to implement your new policy. Don't let the United Nations down. ”

"Wechen must do his best. Live up to the emperor's high expectations. ”

"So good! Alright, you can go back and prepare, and go out with the army in three days. ”

"Yes!"

When Du Wenhao returned home, it was already late at night.

He passed by the door of Lin Qingdai's room. When he saw that there was a light in front of the window, he stopped and went to the door and knocked on it.

A soft voice came from the room, "I fell asleep, who is it, is there any affection?" ”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Fell asleep so early? ”

I only heard something fall on the ground in the room, followed by a sentence: "Wen Hao, why are you back, wait, I'll open the door right away." ”

Du Wenhao was waiting outside the door, only to see Pang Yuqin walking over from the kitchen with a tray, Du Wenhao thought to himself that Lin Qingdai was probably really lying down, and now she was getting up and dressing, and now it was late at night, if you tell me about your appointment as the supervisor of Lizhou, Sichuan, then everyone will not be able to sleep, anyway, there are still three days to prepare, and it will not be too late to talk about it tomorrow, so he said: "You don't have to get up when you sleep, I will come to you tomorrow." ”

There was no answer in the room until Pang Yuqin was about to approach when the lights in the room suddenly went out.

"Xianggong, why are you standing here?" Pang Yuqin said and looked at Lin Qingdai's pitch-black room and asked curiously.

"I saw the light in Sister Qingdai's room on before, and I wanted to say a few words to her, but when she wanted to come, her light went out and she was about to leave." Du Wenhao told a lie.

Pang Yuqin smiled and held the tray in one hand. Holding Du Wenhao's arm with one hand, he said, "Let's go, go eat something first, it's not too late to come back to Sister Qingdai tomorrow, shouldn't you just stay at home for one night, and go back to the palace the next day?" ”

"No, I don't have to enter the palace this time, hehehe, I can accompany you well in the future." Du Wenhao deliberately said the word "you" very seriously, and when he looked back at Lin Qingdai's room, he vaguely heard a light sigh.

Pang Yuqin didn't hear what Du Wenhao said, snuggled up to him, and the two of them walked to their bedrooms.

Du Wenhao looked at Xue Fei'er's room and saw that there was no light in the room, so he asked, "Why didn't you see this girl who was leaning on her, should she also sleep?" ”

"After dinner, I went back to the inn, saying that I missed her father, you said that this girl, you can see it all day long, what else is there to think. I think I probably thought you weren't there, she was really boring to stay, Qingdai has been busy with things in the store recently, and she also goes out early and returns late, and I don't have much time to accompany her, she's bored, and it's okay to go back to accompany her father, so I'll let her go back, or I'll let someone call her back? ”

"No need, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'll be with you tonight."

The corners of Pang Yuqin's mouth showed a look of happiness. Pang Yuqin walked to the door of his room, Yingzi heard the sound, quickly came out of the room, stepped forward to take the tray, and followed by the vegetarian little tiger Keer. Like a big dog.

"Young Master, are you back?" Yingzimu Du Wenhao smiled sweetly and entered the house with a tray.

"Well, Yingzi, Madame's health is not very good, don't always think about Ke'er all the time, ignore Madame, I won't spare you." As Du Wenhao spoke, Ke'er stepped forward affectionately and gently licked Du Wenhao's palm with his wide tongue, making Du Wenhao itchy and crispy.

Yingzi lit the lamp for Du Wenhao and Pang Yuqin to bring in the door, put the lamp on the table, waited for Du Wenhao to sit down and handed over the chopsticks, then smiled at Du Wenhao embarrassedly, nodded, and said, "Yingzi knows." ”

Pang Yuqin helped Yingzi speak: "She has always been very good to me, but at night Ke'er didn't let anyone take her, only followed Yingzi, Yingzi came to my room to smoke mosquitoes, and Ke'er followed." ”

Du Wenhao scooped a spoonful of porridge with a spoon and blew it on the side of his mouth, and then put it in his mouth. It's delicious, it's delicious. ”

Pang Yuqin took chopsticks and put a piece of red stuff for Du Wenhao from the plate and put it in Du Wenluo's bowl, and said with a smile: "This is what I made a few days ago, we all tasted it yesterday, and if you don't come back for a long time, we will eat it first." ”

Du Wenhao put it in his mouth. Suddenly the fragrance is tangy, soft and smooth, melts in the mouth, and there is a floral fragrance to talk about.

"It's delicious, but I just don't know what it's made of, I know that the lady's craftsmanship is extraordinary, tell me about it, let me also have a long insight."

Yingzi listened to them flirting and scolding. It's not good to stay any longer, so I took Ke'er down after giving a salute.
