Chapter 55 Meeting
Sun Chuanting was actually a little confused, the emperor said that he wanted to promote these three crops, but corn was okay, sweet potatoes and potatoes should be vegetables when they heard the name, even if they could be used as staple food, but the people's habits still had to be considered, so he also asked the emperor that Zhu Youxiao was not worried that these foods had no way out, as long as he promoted them in large quantities and purchased them in large quantities after harvesting.
Now that Yang Yi raised this question, he had no choice but to answer according to what the emperor said: "Rest assured, the emperor has already told the official about this issue, how much, how much the emperor receives, and we don't have to consider the price and sales issues." We just need to promote it now. ”
Since sales are not a problem, then everyone is relieved. As for how to promote, this matter is actually not difficult, Yan'an Prefecture directly manages nine counties, and then there are six counties in Suidezhou, Jiazhou, and Juzhou, although these fifteen counties are not very fertile, but there are many of them, especially these three crops are not selected, and Yan'an has a large amount of wasteland that has not been reclaimed, because whether it is millet or wheat yields are very low, if these three crops are really so good, then the reclamation of wasteland will have momentum.
So everyone divided the work, Sun Chuanting inspected various places to clean up the tuntian, and sentenced Lu Xuan to assist. Yang Yi sat in the government and liaised in the center. Yang Siqi, the magistrate, and Liu Sanping, the governor, went to Suidezhou, Jiazhou, and Yanzhou to inspect and supervise, and the real work can only rely on the following governors and counties.
Three days later, in the government office, the governors and counties of Yan'an Prefecture gathered together to hold a meeting to promote the new crops mentioned by the prefect.
Sun Chuanting first invited Shang Fangjian, and after everyone knelt down and took their seats, he spoke first: "This official came to Yan'an Mansion this time, and he made a military order, and the emperor ordered this official to turn Yan'an Mansion into the richest government in Shaanxi within three years. ”
The officials were disdainful in their hearts, and they were not afraid to flash their tongues when they spoke, Yan'an has always been the poorest prefecture in Shaanxi, and self-sufficiency is often not guaranteed.
Sun Chuanting continued: "When the official said this, you are only afraid of not believing it in your hearts, in fact, I myself did not believe it, but the emperor Shengming gave the official two sharp weapons, one is a new high-yield crop, and the other is the right to clean up the military cantonment. ”
Everyone buzzed into a mess, what new crops everyone is not very interested in, but the matter of cleaning up the military tun, the Ming court has been carried out since the founding of the country, various policies emerge in endlessly, and there are often contradictions, as a result, the current military tun is getting worse and worse, the army occupies the people's land, the people occupy the military field, the army occupies the tuntian, Yu Ding takes the lead of the tuntian, abandons the wasteland, and the military households have fled, which has become an uncontrollable phenomenon, and the court wants to clean up the military tun in Yan'an, but it has touched the interests of many people.
Yang Yi's face was hesitant and said: "What is the noise, the prefect only said that he wanted to clear the tuntian, just listen carefully, and then quarrel when the quarrel goes out." ”
The prefect of Yan'an has not filled the vacancy, and Yang Yi has always acted as the prefect of the same governor, so he is quite prestigious.
Sun Chuanting nodded to Yang Yi gratefully, and then said: "To clean up the military tun, the emperor gave us a strategy, the tun land is private, the department is unified, and the tun army is exempted from military service. ”
This is even more loud, the private ownership of tun land means that the military tun land can be held and bought and sold by private individuals like the private land, and the branch is unified to mean that the tun land and the private land pay the same tax, these two have been implemented in some places before, so everyone is not very concerned, everyone is talking about the exemption of the tun army from military service.
Zhu Yuanzhang's guard tuntian system, the purpose is to raise the army with the army, although now the guard military system is corrupt, but this is the ancestral system, even if some generals in some places to implement the recruitment system, but did not let the tun army exempt from military service, if this article is implemented, that is to change the basic system of the Ming Dynasty.
In the original history, to the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the system of the guard station has not changed, at most it exists in name, and now it is not even famous, no wonder everyone is so excited.
Sun Chuanting picked up the wood and slapped it on the table, everyone was shocked, Sun Chuanting said angrily: "Before the official finished speaking, if someone speaks, don't blame the official for not giving you face." So the lobby finally fell silent.
He continued: "The official knows that everyone thinks this is against the ancestral system, and the official also said this when the emperor commanded it. The emperor said that it would only be tried in Yan'an Mansion, and if it was feasible, the ancestral system would not be impossible. ”
Some officials scolded in their hearts for "great rebellion," but no one dared to raise their voices. In fact, those who can generally pass the imperial examination and become officials are basically smart people, and of course they can see the essence of some things. The ancestral system cannot be violated, just say it, the current situation is very different from the time of Taizu, and it is actually not possible to cling to the ancestral system. However, it is precisely because they are smart that they would rather use workarounds to achieve their goals, and they will never say anything that violates the ancestral system, but if it is said by others, such as what the emperor said, then of course there is no problem.
"The emperor gave the official three years, the official gave you two years, if things go well, the official is happy to continue to work with you in Shaanxi, if someone violates the yang and yin, and makes a stumbling block for the official, then the official has words first, and then the official will recognize you, this Shang Fang Jian will not recognize you. I'm done talking, you have any questions to say. ”
The officials spoke again, and Sun Chuanting patted the wood in the hall again and said: "If you have something to say one by one, raise your hand to show what you want to say, and this official will listen carefully to your opinions." ”
The officials raised their hands again, Sun Chuanting pointed at one casually, he stood up and arched his hand and said: "Liu Chengchun, the magistrate of the county, may I ask my lord, can you buy new crop seeds?" The villagers never planted new crops, and the officials were worried that the harvest would be in jeopardy. ”
Sun Chuanting replied: "Don't worry about this. The emperor ordered Huangzhuang to plant new crops early, and enough seeds have been harvested, and this time all of them were brought by the official. The number of seeds that each county can share can be planted in two fields in each county, and the seeds are distributed free of charge, and the official has brought the old farmers who have planted them from the Siyuan Bureau, and there is a planting method prepared by the Siyuan Bureau, which can be distributed to various places at that time, and there is no need to worry about the harvest problem, the yield in the Huangzhuang has reached 15 stones per mu of sweet potatoes, 10 stones per acre of potatoes, and less corn, but it can also reach 2 stones. ”
