Chapter 242: Fish Squire?

On this day, Yang Xuan took Zhang Hong and Yin Chengqi and his party, dressed up as scholars, and followed a team of personal soldiers from a distance behind, and went out of the city to see the situation outside. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Now it is close to the end of spring ploughing, walked more than 30 miles, often see a lot of fields without stagnant water are also barren, looking at the abandoned fields, I can't help but sigh and say, "Hey, the Liukou is really a disaster, the Tartar is a murderous demon, the Chengdu Plain has always been a rich land, thousands of miles of fertile soil, rich in products, the country of abundance, now there are so many wastelands."

Next to him, Yin Chengqi also sighed: "My lord, after rebuilding Dujiangyan and controlling the floods in the Chengdu Plain, the most important thing is to solve the problem of resettlement of disaster victims and land abandonment.

In addition to the fact that in the past, when the population of various prefectures and counties was relatively sufficient, and there were not many disaster victims, there were many displaced people in other places, and there was also a large-scale desertion phenomenon.

In order to reclaim wasteland and prevent the displaced people from harming various localities, our loyal and righteous army controlled all counties to register the household registration of the disaster victims, clean up the wasteland, set up special yamen to resettle the displaced people, and registered and resettled more than 400,000 displaced people and cultivated 5 million mu of wasteland by lending seeds, ploughing cattle, and farm tools.

In addition, considering that the damage in other places is very great, more than 10,000 strong men moved out of Shunqing Mansion with a large population to Dazhou and Tongchuan Mansion in Bazhou for tun farming, and this year 50,000 Zhuang men were moved out to Chengdu Mansion and Guangyuan Mansion for tun farming, plus the villagers and prisoners rescued from the Liukou, as well as the refugees who were collected from all over the country, now there are more than 20 million people in the military tun in various parts of the SC, and the area of tun cultivation is more than 300 million mu.

This is still the statistics of the government, plus the people who are not listed on the list and resettled by themselves, and the number of people who have been resettled in the past two years is close to one million.

My lord, we only have a population of 3 million on the SC household registration, even if we take into account which ones are not included in the yellow book, Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan before the most tens of millions, until now, hey, don't talk about other places, just say that there are so many wastelands in this rich Chengdu Plain? ”

Yang Xuan sighed and shook his head, and looked at the people around him: "The difficulties are temporary, as long as we deal with the floods, as long as we re-stabilize the people and solve the problem of land abandonment, it won't take a few years for our economy to recover."

Tell the local government that there is a shortage of food in various places, but even then we cannot increase the burden on the people. In addition to the normal land endowment, Ding endowment, and commercial endowment, ordinary people cannot increase the slightest burden. ”

Yin Chengqi sighed and said: My lord, although this is beneficial to the displaced people, the harvest of the government is much smaller, so it is difficult to support a large-scale war without food. ”

Yang Xuan shook his head and said, "Hey, this is also a way to do it." After Zhang Xianzhong's rebellion and the Tartar disaster, the entire SC local economy was almost on the verge of collapse.

You see, the entire SC registered population is only more than 300,000, even if you deduct those who are not included in the yellow book, the total will not be 8 million, and now there are more than one million displaced people, if you can't resettle these displaced people, so that everyone can live and work in peace and contentment, in the end, the foundation is not stable, how can you fight?

The day before yesterday, I read the household registration books sent from various places, and now there are more than 400,000 people in Chengdu, Tongchuan, Shunqing, Baoning, Long'an and other places, deducting the millions of people who need to be resettled, there are still 3 million people, and the annual grain harvest is also 600,000 quintals, and we currently have about 40,000 troops, plus the gentry from all over the country, the grain can still barely be enough to eat.

Everyone should look forward, with the passage of time, those Guantun military tun people, Naxiu resettled displaced people will pay taxes year by year, or in three or four years, more food will be paid, and then not only enough to eat, but also a slight surplus.

You also have to think about it, if we control the territory and get bigger and bigger, and we rule more and more people, these will not be a problem in the future."

Yin Chengqi couldn't say anything when he heard Yang Xuan say this, and nodded his head again and again.

Riding on a horse and walking for 20 miles, I watched from a distance that there were many people around several teahouses, and I heard them sitting together in a dragon gate formation, talking about the loyal and righteous army.

The people were sleepy and tired, so the soldiers tied the horses, and the group came to the tea shed to sit down, while drinking tea, while listening to the chats of the next few people.

These people talked with a lot of eyebrows and foaming at the mouth.

Some claim that this loyal army is really different from other troops, participating in the cultivation and planting crops to meet military needs when the farm is busy.

Officers and men from all over the country have just finished their farm work, and with the cooperation of local strong men, they have gone into the mountains to fight tigers in order to sweep away the tiger plague that has caused trouble to the people.

Some people are complaining that they raised two tigers at home, and after being killed by the government, not only did the tiger meat be distributed to the surrounding people, but they also had to pay for the soup and medicine.

Yin Chengqi smiled and explained in a low voice: "My lord, we SC people like to set up dragon gate formations, you know this."

But these children of official businessmen, although they are in troubled times, do not seem to be affected.

Look at it, due to the abnormal weather in the past few years, when it's hot, it's hot, and when it's cold, it's cold.

The villagers are very hard, you see, such a big sun, you also saw all the way, many people are dressed in tatters, and they are still busy outside, and these rich children are hiding here to set up a dragon gate array.

Yang Xuan nodded, turned around for a long time and asked, "These old brothers, should be the children of a rich and noble family, I heard that this Chengdu Plain has suffered a disaster, and there is a shortage of everything, so I will come over and see what business to do?" ”

I saw a thirty-year-old man stand up and said with a smile: "Hey, you brother probably doesn't know, we are all like this here, the weather is hot, and I am bored at home, so my brothers will come out to drink tea, eat some tamales, and set up a dragon gate array."

A few years ago, it was called prosperity when the rogues did not invade, and at that time it was a small market, and ordinary farmers came to play when the farmers were not working, and some farmers also drank two cups of tea or something.

Hey, in the past two years, there have been many deaths in the Tartar rebellion of Zhang Xianzhong, this bazaar is broken, and now only this tea house is still open, and the brothers have nothing to do to come to drink tea. ”

Yang Xuan snorted haha, lamenting the decline of the prosperity of the Chengdu Plain in the past and today.

One next to him smiled and said: "Hey, you brother probably don't know, our son Hong is a figure who can be counted within a radius of dozens of miles, and Hongjiazhuang is also a famous village."

It's just that Yang Xuan Fuchuan is really a squire of fish and meat, pleasing the people in the market.

This time, when the household registration was re-registered to measure the land, everyone thought that some families had died, and they thought about registering the land of these dead families in their own names.

Hey, you don't know how troublesome this is, you have to check it three or four times, I heard that Wangjiazhuang Wang Yuanwai had such a little evil intentions after being found out and paraded through the streets, and in the end more than 10 acres of land were confiscated.

And for those homeless people, for those people who have no land and little land, as long as the per capita land is less than 3 acres, as long as you are willing to reclaim wasteland, within 20 acres of land will be exempted from land taxes for three years, what is this not a fish and meat squire to please the people? ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said: "Brother, you are also a person who understands the general situation, this land is the lifeblood of the people, if you let the rich people reclaim it by themselves, in the end, the land will not go to the rich people's homes, and the ordinary people will not have land again?"

Didn't the yamen encourage the wealthy to subsidize the homeless and villagers to reclaim their land? As long as you provide grain and cattle for the displaced people and tenant farmers to reclaim the wasteland, then the wasteland thus reclaimed will go to these rich families according to the amount of grain, cattle and seeds loaned. ”

This Hong Gongzi shook his head again and again and said: "Why do you want to take a detour, why doesn't the yamen let us rich families pay money to the homeless people, and then all these wastelands will belong to us rich families?"

The yamen encouraged the reclamation of wasteland, and many landless peasant households cultivated our landlords' land while running to reclaim wasteland, which only forced us to lower the land rent. ”

Yang Xuan smiled and said, "So it seems that you are actually the truth?"

In any case, the common people must have a way to live, so that they can live and work in peace and contentment, and they will not rise up and rebel or anything.

Look at the rebellion of Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong this time, thousands of miles of red land, and millions of dead and wounded, it is because ordinary people have no permanent business, as long as they encounter any famine year, they will have no way to live, stay at home and wait for death, run out or have a way to live.

In addition to enforcing various laws and regulations, the most important responsibility of the yamen is to ensure social and economic development, that is, to ensure social fairness and justice. ”

Although everyone was willing to object, when they saw a few guards around Yang Xuan, they sighed: "Hey, don't talk about how our governor is a squire, just talk about another ****."

Our Hong Gongzi's family raised 2 tigers, that is like raising a family, for family protection, I heard that when the Tartars came, the tigers were released, and a few Tartars were bitten to death, brother, you said that this tiger is not a hero, and now because of this, Hong Gongzi was fined dozens of taels of silver by the Yamen. ”

Yang Xuan frowned slightly, and sighed: "Brother, this Chengdu Plain has always been a rich place, and now many people can see tigers on the road, do you need to rectify it."

I heard that the southern Sichuan is even more rampant tiger trouble, the common people go out, must go together, anyone with a little conscience for the political side, will take the lead in solving the tiger problem. ”

The man named Hong Gongzi shook his head and said, "You are a person, you know that the book is too angry at a glance." As the saying goes, harsh government is fiercer than tigers, in the past, Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered my Sichuan people, and now Yang Xuan enters the SC to kill the two tigers I raised, not to mention, but also I want to compensate the injured villagers around 100 taels of silver as the cost of the soup.

There is also a loss for the cost of soup and medicine, and he didn't give me tiger meat to eat, you don't know, this tiger meat is a treasure, and he didn't give it to me, it's really unreasonable.

This Yang Xuan is too good to the common people, and he is our squire. “
