Chapter 90: The credit depends on the picking
Xuanzhou in this year is still a little famous, and it belongs to the place where small and medium-sized families of the Southern Dynasties gather. Obviously, there are many mountains and hills on the southeast and west sides, but there are really a lot of people who can feed them.
The state administration office is the Xuancheng that "Xuancheng is too guarded and does not know", there are mountains and rivers outside the city, and it is a typical treasure land. Flowing down the Wanxi River, it can flow into Wuhu water and eventually flow into Danyang Lake.
Lao Zhang's hard work to advocate the "enclosure of the polder" is actually not a new method, Xuanzhou land, but all the mountains and rivers or along the river boundary, have used this method to open up new fields. At the end of the Later Han Dynasty to the establishment of Eastern Wu, the original Danyang Lake was not as small as Zhenguannian, it was cut off from several small lakes by the people of Eastern Wu, and then gradually became the current scale.
During the Three Kingdoms period, more than 100,000 acres of new fields have been developed, the most famous of which is "Wuhu rice". The annual output of "Wuhu rice" almost supported the entire Southern Dynasties era, Lao Zhang's mentor, the old man Lu who was going to die and didn't die, in the upper reaches of Wuhu Lake, near Danyang Lake, there is a boundary called "Huangchi", and there are two or three thousand acres of fields.
This is all the belongings that Baron Wu County saved when Lao Zhang didn't know Old Man Lu.
Two or three thousand acres of land, all of them are the fields in the field, the yield per mu dare not say that it soars to a thousand catties, but there are 600 catties, such a bumper yield, one acre of land is worth five or six acres of others, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "ten thousand acres of fertile land".
The reason for the high yield of "Wuhu rice" is naturally related to the environment. The climate is suitable, the water conservancy is developed, and the land is fertile, which can be said to have forced the production capacity of the paddy fields out. If you want to compete with "Wuhu rice", you can only "Taihu rice", "Jiaozhou rice", "Guangzhou rice" and "Chaohu rice".
However, in recent years, due to various reasons, "Guangzhou rice" has been replaced by "Jiaozhou rice", and a large number of newly cultivated fields are mostly used to grow cash crops. "Taihu Lake rice" is replaced by "Wuhu rice", and the scale of mulberry forests around Taihu Lake has reached an unprecedented level.
In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, Suzhou's grain tax had reached the point of importing from Fusang, and you can imagine the madness.
At this time, the "Wuhu rice" has jumped to the highest grain producing area along the Yangtze River, and Rao is "Dongting rice" and "Poyang rice" are equally rich, but after all, the geography is special, and there is a little "mountain high and the emperor is far away", so the uncle does not kiss the sad urging of grandma and grandmother.
I didn't enjoy the policy benefits of the imperial court, but I suffered a lot.
Only "Wuhu rice", because of its special geography, its importance to Suchang, Huaiyang and other places is probably the importance of "Changsha rice" and "Dongting rice" to Wuhan.
Although Xuanzhou is not a lot of Dingkou, compared with Su Changhuaiyang, it is a bit "small". So naturally, the most prominent industry in the entire Xuanzhou is not the silk and linen utensils common in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Huaiyang, but grain.
The whole Xuanzhou, with "Wuhu rice" as the cornerstone, since the fifteenth year of Zhenguan, is the largest private rice market in the whole Tang Dynasty.
For example, in the neighboring states and counties, as long as there is some idle money, in order to cope with the grain tax of the imperial court, they will buy "Wuhu rice" from Xuanzhou.
Even the sales volume of "Wuhu rice" in recent years has become an indicator vane. When the sales of "Wuhu rice" increased significantly, it proved that the Yangtze River textile industry was booming; When the sales of "Wuhu rice" declined, it means that the textile industry on both sides of the Yangtze River is a bit bad.
The truth has also been figured out for neighboring states and counties. The high sales volume of "Wuhu rice" shows that there is a lot of money in the old iron pocket of buying rice, and more money means that life is better than business; The low sales of "Wuhu rice" are naturally the opposite result.
Although the reason cannot be explained so roughly, it is still very meaningful to use it as an indicator.
What's more, "Wuhu rice" is not an official granary such as Taicang Changping in the imperial court, but a large-scale "rice market" spontaneously formed by the people. The hand of the Kato eagle, which is invisible to the market, can play its greatest role here.
So no matter what, the position of Xuanzhou Assassin is the best to be a comrade, if not, you can't get a slut who is doing things everywhere.
In case there is a man who likes "three feet high", he is full of food alone, doesn't he immediately suffer the old brother in the surrounding states and counties?
So it can be regarded as a coincidence, the sky thunders and the earth is on fire, and the dry firewood meets the fire, in short, the two fires are burned, and it is better to choose the day than to hit the sun, and the day is the face of the ancient master.
And picking and choosing, this sixty-year-old man in Yongzhou really has a good advantage. For example, he has been a secretary to the emperor for decades, his pen is hard, he belongs to the old merry literati, he threw Xuanzhou to the ground, and killed the family of the Southern Dynasty of the turtles, there is no problem at all.
Another example is Yan Shigu's good reputation, it just so happens that Wuhan can give him fame, not only Wuhan can give fame, but Jiangxi can also give him fame. Because theoretically speaking, Xuanzhou is the northeast gateway to the west, how can it also "shine on the lintel"?
As for Master Yan's ancient acquaintance, it is all trivial and trivial. Even if you don't know how to be interested or know each other, after a set of military body boxing, you will immediately master the basic technique of "standing up when you are beaten".
"Degraded" Yan Shigu for Xuanzhou, Lao Zhang did not mix, it was purely a trick played by several heavenly kings, but he threw a prodigal with a strange painting style into it, which produced unexpected results.
When Yan Zhou finally arrived in Xuancheng, the old man of Yongzhou, who was over the age of sixtieth and went all out to "run seven", was still very excited at first, but he never expected that the people of Xuancheng were quite enthusiastic, and he stuffed a pair of beautiful girls for the sixty-year-old man that night. This made Yan Shigu, who was "devastated" in the capital, finally feel a little "warmth", and then said publicly: The old man wants to learn from hermits......
In short, Yan Laohan has no pressure at all to be a nodding assassin. He now knows very well, it is easy to say that the cooperation is pleasant, and the credit will not be less than his own, maybe when he mentions the exegetes in the future, he will still be mentioned like this.
Of course, it is unknown whether there is a reason why his name has been added to the editorial list of the 19th revised edition of Zhenguan in the original version of the "Original Yin Xun".
After Yan Zhou announced that he wanted to learn from hermits, Fang Xuanling, the governor of Jiangxi, came to an administrative order, saying that it was to ensure that the output of "Wuhu rice" reached a new high, and that all counties in Xuanzhou should strive to open up new fields and vigorously increase production in the nineteenth year of Zhenguan.
Before the county orders came back to their senses, thinking about what kind of operation this special thing was, Xuanzhou Assassin Shi Yanzhou temporarily suspended the "hermit" cosplay, and sent a message to the counties of Xuanzhou again: The water area in the state is still too large.
Then the three counties of Lishui County, Liyang County, and Dangtu County gritted their teeth and said that the three of us will cooperate and cut this Danyang Lake again.
Danyang Lake, which was originally a patchwork to appear "grand" in scale, was ravaged and destroyed like never before, among which Dangtu County was the most ruthless, and the county ordered the old brother to stomp his feet and directly get one-third of it. Lishui County and Liyang County saw that we couldn't be left behind, and they joined forces to chop a third.
The amount of work of "three counties and lakes" is actually not large, the main technology is still "enclosing the polder" and "dredging and filling pits", the Danyang Lake of Zhenguan Dynasty, the east and west ends are quite shallow, and it is a large lake composed of tidal flats, swamps, lakes and rivers mixed together.
Therefore, as long as the project is properly constructed, for example, an engineering team who does not want to be named directly made a long causeway through the lake in Dangtu County. With this causeway, it is equivalent to directly dividing Danyang Lake into two, and all that remains to be done is how to dry up the water on one side of this causeway.
Originally, Danyang Lake was still a bit of a "Yunmengze" appearance, not to mention the beautiful scenery, and there was a lot of water. But according to Zhenguan's nineteen-year plan, it probably doesn't take a few years to dig up the piece of land that is surrounded by Dangtu County into a field.
It is not clear how much it can be increased in the future, but according to the progress, Zhenguan will be able to add 50,000 or 60,000 mu of paddy fields in 19 years, and as long as there are no catastrophic floods in the next two years, it will not be a problem to increase by 50,000 or 60,000 mu.
With such political achievements, the general assassin does not gamble on his life, has no background and no connections, and has no chance to catch it.
However, the sixty-year-old man in Yongzhou said that he was very calm: the old man Wanxi drank a little wine next to him, and he earned this credit while lying down!
