Chapter 144: Spring Ploughing One

"Brother Yan, An Cheng, you must say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, we will drink this cup and meet in the future!"

"Please!"

"Please!"

At the wine shop outside the south gate of Pyongyang, Cui Rong and Liu Xiyi held a banquet here to see off Huan Yanfan, who was about to go to Haigu Prefecture to take office. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all, silent, and the wine table was full of parting sorrows!

Although they have only been friends for more than ten days, the three of them have become close friends during this time, just like old friends who have been friends for many years, and they are reluctant to give up when they are separated today.

Liu Xiyi broke the silence and advised: "Shize, Haigu is close to Silla, during this time, I heard from the capital protection palace that the situation in the south is not stable, and the war with Silla may break out at any time. ”

"The remnants of Goguryeo in the local area rebelled from time to time, and Chinese officials were often assassinated. Although Shi Ze's martial arts are good, you must be more careful. Cui Rong looked sad and said worriedly.

The two friends admonished him earnestly, and Huan Yanfan was very moved in his heart, and nodded heavily: "Brother Yan, An Cheng, please rest assured, I will definitely pay attention to it, and we will not be drunk in Chunxiang Building in the future." ”

"Hahaha! We are waiting for the return of Shi Ze in Chunxiang Building! The three laughed and drank again.

Cui Rong and Liu Xiyi each folded a willow branch that had just sprouted green buds on the side of the road and gave it to Huan Yanfan, who was leaving.

Huan Yanfan took the willow branch and arched his hand and said, "Brother Yan, An Cheng, take care!" ”

"Be careful all the way!"

"Riding the ......" Huan Yanfan stepped on his horse to catch up with the officials and guards sent by the Metropolitan Protectorate who was in front of him to serve as officials and guards in the southern prefectures and counties, and went south together.

Cui Rong and Liu Xiyi looked at the back of Huan Yanfan leaving on the side of the road for a long time, and the parting feelings were overflowing, and they didn't know what year they would see each other again.

Three days later, Cui Rong and Liu Xiyi received the order of the two new counties appointed by the Metropolitan Protectorate as Daxing Prefecture, and went to Daxing City with the team of officials stationed in Daxing Prefecture on the second day.

"The officials hired this time are all sent out by the scriptures, right?"

"Your Highness, send them all today." Li Yuan replied.

"That's good." Li Yu said with a smile: "Even if all of them are dispatched, the matter of spring ploughing can be fully carried out in Anton." As soon as the state and county officials sent out to take up their posts arrived, they should immediately inquire about the spring plowing situation in their own prefectures and counties, and report to the capital protectorate. ”

"Also, what about the distribution of seeds, farm tools, and ploughing cattle to the states and counties for spring ploughing? This is especially true for the people who moved into Andong. ”

For this year's spring ploughing, Li Yu has prepared a lot of grain, and even when the cast iron city has just begun to produce iron, Li Yu's order to them is to first make 200,000 pieces of various farm tools, and then add 150,000 pieces.

From the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the two major supply and demand offices of Chang'an and Youzhou and the Metropolitan Protectorate directly sent people to the Turkic Prefectures, Songmo (Khitan), and Raole (Xiren) to buy cattle and sheep on a large scale, in order to rent cattle and sheep for the people to carry out spring plowing and production this year.

It is now mid-March, and Jiaolong Hainan Airlines has been preparing for nearly four months to transport 100,000 victims to Andong, and it is estimated that there are still 50,000 or 60,000 people waiting to be transported to Andong on both sides of the Yellow River.

Li Yu made Xue Jun fully responsible for the seeds, farm tools, and cattle to be distributed, and hoarded them in the official warehouses set up in the resettlement sites before the arrival of the victims, and the officials organized the distribution of them by household as soon as the victims arrived.

Xue Jun said with a smile: "Your Highness, rest assured, I Xue Sanyang will definitely not make a mistake." This is the ledger of the specific arrangement, please look at it with Your Highness. ”

Xue Jun handed Li Yu an account book, and Li Yu took it and joked with a smile: "Xue Sanyang, don't you blow up the cowhide every time, okay?" One day you blow the cowhide and your shoulders can't afford it. ”

"Hehehe! The young man is energetic, but Xue Sanyang's edge is too exposed! That's not a good thing. Li Yuanyuan on the side shook his head and pretended to smile profoundly.

"Hey, Your Highness, Li Changshi, this is my confidence. Your Highness, don't you often say that people should be born with confidence in themselves, so that life can be better......" Xue Jun recounted emotionally, and borrowed what Li Yu had said before. It's just that the only listeners, Li Yu and Li Yuanyuan, laughed and didn't say anything, which made Xue Jun feel bored and closed his non-stop mouth.

I feel that Xue Jun has been mixed with him for too long, and he has gradually lost the beautiful quality of modesty that cultural people in this era have.

Li Yu looked at the account book and said with a wry smile, Xue Jun was still a shy young man when he first came to the mansion! It's only been a few years, and I've been uninhibited and boastful of myself.

However, Xue Jun also boasted of his capital, the account book was well organized, the materials issued to each county were clear at a glance, and the relevant responsible persons were clear. If there is corruption among officials below, just check it directly according to the account book.

There are nine prefectures, 42 prefectures, and 100 counties.

In addition to the fact that the prefecture and the prefecture remained unchanged, the original 100 counties were either deserted or died due to the war, and the county was withdrawn from 22 counties because it was not enough to be a county, and Silla occupied 16 counties in the southeast, and the current number of counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture is 62, and 8 counties were newly added due to immigration.

Li Yu did not provide seeds, farm tools, and cattle to the Dongzha Prefecture Governor's Office and the twenty counties under the four prefectures of Jian'an, Liaodong, Xincheng, and Northern Fuyu Prefecture, which were still held by Goguryeo people.

One is that the local people in these prefectures and counties were affected by the war and ended early, and the damage to production was not great. As soon as Goguryeo fell, Xue Rengui was appointed as the protector of the capital, and he also organized the resumption of production in these areas. The Dongzha Prefecture Governor's Office was not affected in the Tang Dynasty's war to destroy Goguryeo, and only experienced a Gaodingwen rebellion last year, which was quickly pacified by Yang Xuanqi.

The second is that Li Yu's money is not so sufficient, and there are several big money-absorbers, which is unrealistic if all of them are taken care of.

Therefore, the seeds, farm tools, and cattle provided by Li Yu were mainly biased towards the new immigrants who had moved to Anton, who were originally victims of the disaster and had nothing left in Anton. By the autumn harvest of the first year of Anton, he basically relied on the capital to feed him.

The second is to take care of the poor families of the indigenous people, who lack farm tools, seeds and cattle.

The Yalu Shuinan and Kobe Prefecture Governor's Offices, which were greatly damaged by the war, Li Yu also ordered the local government to recruit exiled people to reclaim wasteland and reorganize it into the people, so as to weaken the strength of the remaining local rebellious Goguryeo remnants.

Whether it is to recruit exiles to reclaim wasteland, or to emigrate.

Li Yu's land policy is that both the aborigines and the new immigrants in Andong can apply for land deeds for themselves after three years of cultivation, and the first three years are exempt from tax.

The cattle and sheep issued to the people are also loaned to the people in the form of loans, and the money is returned on time for three years, and the date of return is after the autumn harvest every year.

Li Yu read the account book and said solemnly: "March and April are the critical periods for Anton's spring ploughing. Da Pu and Sanyang, you have to keep an eye on the bottom during this time. ”

"Your Highness, please rest assured, Li Changshi and I will live up to Your Highness's expectations!"
