Chapter 176: Dengzhou (Fourth Update, Ask for Subscription)
There was a lot of time, and Lu Hanyang was not in a hurry, although he knew that there were other people who came to this world like him.
But judging from the situation of the Golden Wolf Sacrifice, he doesn't seem to be very different from these people, although the Golden Wolf Sacrifice summons a group of wolves, but it is not enough to see in front of him.
Along the way, Lu Hanyang basically stopped and stopped, sharing the joy of the harvest on the land below with the people of Datang. In the second year of Zhenguan, Datang finally saw a little bit of wind and rain.
Of course, unlike the excitement of the people below, Lu Hanyang just arrived not only with joy, but also with plans for the future. Next year, a catastrophe will once again befall the people of Datang.
What to do then? Grain is transferred from Lingnan, from Hedong, and from the two lakes area, all of which are areas with high grain production. Of course, there is also the extravagant hope of mobilizing grain from the northeast.
That's right, the Northeast is actually an undeveloped treasure land, which Lu Hanyang knows very well. Why can't it be developed? Because the northeastern region is now on the battlefield, and it is too remote.
The impression of the people of Guanzhong on the Northeast is the bitter cold of Liaodong. The men in Guanzhong are not afraid of anywhere, they dare to go. But the scorching heat of Lingnan and the bitter cold of Northeast China still make them feel uncomfortable.
Lu Hanyang thought about dealing with the locust plague next year, and gradually flew to the territory of Shandong, where he could see the sea from a distance.
Dengzhou, this place is on the tip of the Shandong Peninsula. As the saying goes, relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the water to eat the water. But at this time, Dengzhou relied on the ocean, but he couldn't get enough to eat.
There are countless resources in the ocean, but the people on the seashore live in poverty, because the sea water is flooded every year, causing the land to be seriously salinized, and there is not much food to be produced at all.
Moreover, hesitating that the shipbuilding industry is not developed, and fishermen are unable to catch seafood in the sea, so they will row a small sampan near the sea to get some small fish and shrimp.
"Is this a treasure mountain to ask for food?" After Lu Hanyang saw the living conditions of the people here, he sighed like this. Although it is not an area with a particularly good fishing environment, such as Zhoushan Fishery and Yellow Sea Fishing Ground.
These big fishing grounds are a bit far from here, but it's not so rare to even eat a meal of fish! This is not the ocean that will be sifted by countless trawlers in the future, this is completely the era when there was a large school of crabs on the seashore when every stone was removed.
These people are still hungry, and they are still guarding the one-third of an acre of land to dig and eat in the ground? It is completely reluctant to seek the near and far, and the edge of the wood to seek fish. It's just that the people of Datang are a farming nation, and the land plot for many years has tied them to the land.
Dengzhou City, the broken city wall, less than two zhang high, is like an earthen enclosure, enclosing an equally dilapidated county town inside. This is the state capital, and it belongs to the area under the jurisdiction of two or three county seats.
Dengzhou has two counties, Wendeng and Guanyang, and the biggest officials here are the official positions under the four grades of the imperial court. Such an official is definitely an important member of the three provinces in Chang'an, Kyoto.
But here, it is completely a down-and-out household, the Zhizhou surname of Dengzhou is Niu, and Niu Jinda has a little relationship, and he was originally a staff member around Niu Jinda. Although he is not an immediate family member, he has not produced five suits.
"Dengzhou can call the shots, let me come out!" Lu Hanyang drove the crane and came to the county seat of Dengzhou.
"Xiaguan Niu got water to meet the immortal chief, but I didn't know that the immortal chief was coming...... This one...... There is a long way to go! "An official wearing a court uniform ran out of the county office, and his robe was quite neat.
It's just that the pulp is a little whitish, and the boots under the feet are the boots, just the two patches of pirates.
The officials in Dengzhou are all dressed like this, not to mention the people, at this time in Dengzhou City, countless people have also come out to meet the gods, all of them are yellow and thin, like addicts.
If it's better during the day, if it's night, you can play as a skeleton.
Although these people were emaciated, their eyes were still shiny, at least they did not become insensitive. It's a little stronger than the addicts in the documentary.
"Are you the governor of Dengzhou? Why is this Dengzhou so difficult? Lu Hanyang asked.
"Immortal Chang doesn't know, there are too many saline-alkali lands in Dengzhou, and the land has to be washed every year, even after washing, there is still no guarantee of grain output! The lower officials tried to reduce the taxes of the people, but there was still no improvement. Niu Deshui explained.
"What are you? Passing the buck? Lu Hanyang asked.
"Immortal Chief, how dare the lower officials? It's just that there's really no way around it! Over the years, taxes have been reduced, and the lower officials have even sold their family property, and the original 200 acres of fertile land in Chang'an have been sold, but there is still no way! Niu Deshui complained.
He really has no choice, how can he not know the suffering of the people? Over the years, he has reduced his taxes a lot, and the difference is made up by himself out of his own pocket. There are basically no rich families in Dengzhou City, and they can't find anyone to share the burden.
Even Niu Jinda helped him ask for a lot of exemptions from the imperial court, but he still couldn't make ends meet.
"Guarding the world's largest cornucopia, but you are called Hanako in front of me, you are really admired by this official!" Lu Hanyang said.
"What? Dengzhou is reporting Peng? Where do you start? Niu Deshui was puzzled.
"Can't you see this sea, so vast, so rich? Every day in front of your eyes, you still turn a blind eye, it is simply insulting your surname, you should not be surnamed Niu, you should be stupid. Lu Hanyang said angrily.
"Immortal Chief!" Niu Deshui knelt down directly, and the surrounding people heard the conversation between Lu Hanyang and the Lord Zhizhou, and immediately knelt down for a long time.
Throughout Dengzhou City, a large group of people on the main street knelt on the ground, praying for the immortal chief to show a way out.
"If you don't have enough to eat, can't you go down to the sea and catch fish? Did you know that there are so many fish in the ocean, not to mention that they are full, and it is very easy to kill everyone. Lu Hanyang said.
"Immortal Chief, this method, Xia Guan has thought of it a long time ago, but there is no way to sail far, the land in Dengzhou is saline, there are no mountains and dense forests, and there is no suitable timber for shipbuilding! Moreover, when a small boat goes out to sea, it cannot withstand the wind and waves at all, not only can it not catch fish, but it is also likely to be swallowed by the sea. Niu Deshui said.
"If you don't have wood, can't you buy it from out of town? This Yellow River is like the sea not far away, so I don't know how to use such a big waterway? Lu Hanyang said.
"Moreover, if you don't go to sea, can't you make salt?" Lu Hanyang directly threw out another idea.
