Chapter 191: Discussing Agricultural Affairs

Several prime ministers did not quarrel over Gu Zhiwen's appointment as a county lieutenant.

Wu Yanyi saw that the matter was going well, Gu Zhiwen went to take Tian Rui's position, in charge of a county's household registration and tax matters.

The position of county lieutenant is generally divided into two types, one is in charge of public security, and the other is in charge of households. This is the official who is closest to the common people, and it is very temperable.

Generally, the county lieutenant of a remote state and county is also the first official of the person who passed the imperial examination.

If the county lieutenant does a good job, he can directly supervise the imperial history, and then serve the imperial history and the imperial history in the palace. All the way to the outside and Langzhong.

and then promoted the Shangshu Shilang, the six Shangshu, and even the Shilang directly worshiped the prime minister. This was the most ideal way for officials to be promoted at that time.

After discussing the personnel, the next step was to discuss the overhaul of the reservoir and canal proposed by Wu Yanzhi.

It's just that there was resistance at the beginning. I saw Liang Wang Wu think twice and said: "Speaking of which, this suggestion of King Zhuojun is good, and the original contemptible people should also support it."

However, after thinking about it, I found that there are still many problems to be solved, and it is not so simple.

For example, the construction of a reservoir is likely to flood a lot of fertile land. What about these people? How to place it is a big problem. Also, is there compensation for their house? How is it compensated? None of them have been resolved.

Of course, the contemptible people agreed to the construction of ditches, and in any case, the vast majority of the land belonged to the state, and it did not affect every household. But the same problem exists.

Another thing is how to manage this reservoir after it is repaired? If it is not carefully managed, once the reservoir collapses, it will cause immeasurable losses to the people downstream. If there is such a danger, it is better not to repair the reservoir. ”

Wu Yanzhi explained: "What Uncle Wang said also makes sense, and this is indeed the case. In the sense of contempt, this relocation of immigrants is a major matter, and it must be organized and coordinated by the state government.

So how do you arrange it? Contemptible means that where there are more benefits, there will be more people in that place, and vice versa.

The reason is simple: with the reservoir, the cultivation of grain is guaranteed, and there is basically no need to worry about drought. Then it is natural for the beneficiaries to take out some land and redistribute it. Anyway, the land is also state, and redistribution can also be done.

As for how the reservoir is managed, a certain has seriously considered it. The reservoir allows the local farmers to raise shrimp and fish, and the reservoir is managed by them. Let them sign a letter of responsibility with the county.

At the same time, the county should send people to carefully inspect the potential safety hazards of the reservoir every month and make records for future reference. Especially when the summer rainy season comes, the water in this reservoir should be drained to reasonably control the water level and facilitate flood control.

Another rule is also very important, no matter who contracts the reservoir, the basic function of the reservoir is to fight drought and flood control, and this point cannot be shaken.

In addition, I would like to emphasize that if this reservoir is to be built, it must be built firmly, and the embankment of the small reservoir should be built with stone and rammed earth.

On top of Luoshui, I am going to build a large reservoir with a reinforced concrete embankment. The reservoir has also been built, which almost guarantees that Luoyang will no longer have to worry about flooding.

Of course, it costs some money to build this large reservoir. My idea is that I can settle some of the funds by collecting taxes from the passing ships on the Luoshui. Then mobilize the gentry to donate part of the funds, and the court to subsidize part of the ......"

After talking about these points, Wu Yanzhi mentioned safety again: "Uncle Wang is very right, the safety of the reservoir is the top priority. I will consult with Zhang Gong, the master of the craftsman, and let them participate in reviewing the drawings.

I check the drawings, that is, the drawings of each reservoir, I have to review and send people to supervise.

Every year before the rainy season, the governor of the state government signs a letter of responsibility with the county order and sends personnel to inspect it. At the same time, the reservoir is managed at a different level.

For reservoirs that have major hidden dangers and may collapse, they should be managed with yellow cards......"

Wu Yanzhi nagged for a long time, and these people were relieved when they heard that Wu Yanzhi wanted to arrest him personally. Regarding Wu Yanzhi's request to add the title of superintendent to the two judges, Zhao Yu and Tian Rui, it was naturally easy to pass.

Because it is also customary to give a judge a constitutional title, the judge will handle the case as a messenger.

After listening to Wu Yanzhi's introduction, Lou Shide said: "The courage of the king of Zhuojun is not as good as what if. If so many reservoirs and ditches are really built, I believe that not only in Henan, but also in Guanzhong, may also become a big granary. ”

Wu Yanzhi said: "There is no doubt that the grain production in Guanzhong will increase, but its scope must be too small, and the population will increase rapidly. The increase in grain production may not be able to keep pace with the increase in population.

Next, I am going to select four county lieutenants from the Jiangnan prefectures to serve as judges, and then recommend some candidates to go to Lingnan to develop Lingnan's agriculture.

These people have been in Jiangnan for a long time and are very experienced in rice cultivation, and with the Quyuan plough I developed, Lingnan can soon become a second Jiangnan.

By the way, I would like to add that I am also going to take advantage of the opportunity of serving as an envoy to persuade peasants to send about 20 county lieutenants as judges to carry out the work of enclosing households. ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes couldn't help but widen and they were very surprised.

This household matter is the most difficult thing in the world.

What is a bracket? In fact, it is to deal with the displaced people, and simply put, to clean up the fugitives. This is a very important matter, and according to some estimates, it is estimated that there are 500,000 or 600,000 households that have not been included in the household registration statistics.

The last time Wu Yanzhi was in Funiu Mountain, the resettlement of the displaced people was very good. The inclusion of those people in the household registration increased some tax revenues, and at the same time increased the production of metals, stabilizing people's hearts.

"Lord, you have to be cautious about the affairs of the household, this is a thankless job. It's good to do a good job, but if you don't do it well, the emperor will be angry. After all, the prince is also the prime minister now, why is he so persistent? Lou Shide is a person who leads troops to fight, and he admires Wu Yanzhi very much, so he kindly persuaded him.

"Yes! The prince is now considered to be famous, and many people have tried to include the household, but the result is that they all failed. The prince should be cautious. Yang Zaisi was also kind enough to persuade.

Liang Wang Wu Sansi secretly sneered: This Wu Yanzhi is too young, not to mention that he had to clean up the mill in person before, but this time he has to clean up the escapees. How easy is this as you think?

Do you think it's still the 20,000 or 30,000 people in Funiu Mountain? How many runaways are there in the world?

If you don't give them tax cuts, they won't come out. But if you give them tax cuts, the farmers who are now farming are not reconciled, and this is not pleasing to both sides.

Go ahead and do it! If you can't do it, I'll have to read you! I heard you still have some ideas, so I'll hell with your thoughts when the time comes!

At this time, Wang Fangqing, who had served as the governor of Lingnan for a long time, said: "The rice cultivation in Lingnan is indeed far from the south of the Yangtze River. Those people's use of agricultural tools is also far less familiar than the Central Plains and Jiangnan people. King Zhuojun's plan is very good, and the contemptible people support it.
