Chapter 60 Development and Immigration
In April, Xin Bi, as a military general participating in the war, went south to conquer Zhao Ci's department, and Zhou Shang also began to serve in Huiji County.
With the completion of the wooden fences in the four new counties of Lishui, Yongkang, Xianju and Tiantai, the surrounding Yue villages, and even many students, have come to register. The 'prefectural ordinances' of the four prefectures are all the 'representatives' voted by the original villages, and they are checked and supplemented by the existence of the 'village councils'.
What Li Ming did was only to send a few small officials to help count the population and the villages under his jurisdiction after the county seat was established, and summarize them for the record. At the same time, the 'county orders' of these four counties are taught, how to set up polders outside the city, and how to manage polders.
In each county, there are 50 thieves stationed in the county. To put it bluntly, it's not 'guarding', it's managing and maintaining order. Most of the members are also from Yamagoe, so these mountain people are not resistant to this.
"Riyao's foresight is good!" Xun Biao carefully studied the information that was summarized, not only the population, but also the surrounding terrain and landforms, "These four areas have been developed, and a lot of cultivated land can be added!" ”
What do the Maisons crave most? Land, especially arable land, of course! These theoretically developed cultivated land, not to mention the Xun family, even other Jiangdong families who know about this matter have also shown a high degree of interest!
"Huiji County is mountainous, but there is not much arable land, no matter how it is cultivated, the cultivated land will never be able to keep up with the needs ......" Li Ming shook his head, and then pointed to the map, "The one in Wusheng, Yongkang and Damo is okay, especially the one in Damo, which can provide a lot of arable land if it is developed, and I plan to make this area a key grain-producing area!"
The three counties of Lishui, Yuntai and Xianju, then a little place, can be used as the land needed for the subsequent expansion of the county, these three counties, focusing on fruit tree cultivation, livestock breeding and medicinal herb cultivation is good, counting on their little land to obtain food, obviously not ideal, a few cultivated land is good. ”
Li Ming said that he was really not optimistic about the agricultural situation in the four counties, only saying that in Lishui County and Xianju County, the forest coverage area is as high as 80 percent and 77 percent. In Li Ming's point of view, this amount of cultivated land is good to maintain local use, and there is no hope that it can be sold in other places.
"That's what I'm going to do!" Li Ming pointed to Xianju County, Tiantai County, and Lishui County, "After the cultivated land of these three counties is divided, it will be temporarily used as land directly under the county seat for 30 years, and will be jointly managed by the villages participating in the establishment of the county seat." It is not allowed to be sold within 30 years, and after 30 years, Yue people who hold household registration in the three counties are allowed to sell through open bidding. ”
"It's easy for you to offend those families!" Xun Biao reminded.
"Since the establishment of the four counties, I have not handled a penny in their hands! If you don't come when you are hardest, and when you divide the meat, you pounce like flies, do you think it is morally justified? Besides......" Li Ming pointed to Yongkang County, of course, including Damo County and Wusheng County, "This area is the bait I threw out, at least the degree of development here is higher, and the cultivated land area is more!" ”
"Well, the locations of Xianju, Lishui and Tiantai are indeed a bit remote!" Xun Biao nodded, Li Ming could understand the stakes.
"It's also a kind of admonition!" Li Ming sighed, "It doesn't help the government at all, and even the family that drags the government behind, don't expect to get benefits!" The relationship between the family and the government should be a common prosperity, but in fact, you have also seen it, eldest brother, most of the families only need to develop themselves, and how the court has nothing to do with them! ”
"It's not good for you to say this directly, it's very offensive!" Xun Biao shook his head.
"In the early stage, they are not fools, and they will slowly know my intentions! If you can keep up, everyone will share the meat together, and if you can't keep up, you will be eliminated by the times. In my opinion, a family whose family interests are not linked to the government is not worthy of trust at all! ”
Not only the Han Dynasty, but also all eras? The family develops itself by digging the corners of the official mansion, and then when the court is knocked down, it will change to another master and continue to serve, this abacus is really loud enough!
Li Ming admits that he is not a student of history, so he cannot analyze the contradictory relationship between the family, the scholar and the country. Even he didn't think that he had the ability to directly lead the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty into the new era. It would be nice to improve it!
It was only at this time that Xun Biao knew about Li Ming's ambitions, and even had a little fear of it. This is not a superficial thing that 'the emperor takes turns', Li Ming actually intends to change the pattern of the Chinese government and family for hundreds of years!
"Don't learn from Wang Mang, his starting point is good, but it's out of place!" Xun Biao reminded at the end.
"Well, I've studied it recently, and I'm planning to learn from history!" Li Ming smiled, recently made up for history a little, the history before the Han Dynasty, and admired Wang Mang a little, wouldn't this girl also be a time-traveler from New China?
I was a little unimpressed with his reforms, just as Xun Biao said, those reforms were 'out of date'.
"It's good that Riyao knows!" Xun Biao breathed a sigh of relief, Li Ming has gradually linked up with the Xun family, as the so-called 'one glory is prosperous, one loss is lost', even if the Xun family can't be treated in the end, it may be a big loss of vitality.
"So many people go south?" When Zhou Shang entered Lujiang County, he found that there were many people one after another, dragging their families and moving towards the Yangtze River.
"Recently, it has been confirmed that the so-called demon is caused by some worms parasitic in the stomach. Li Ming distributes a batch of anti-insect medicine free of charge every month, and many problematic villages have recovered. At the same time, Li Ming also announced some personal hygiene norms, saying that according to this norm, diseases can be avoided from entering the mouth to the greatest extent.
Now that life safety is no longer threatened, seeing that the Central Plains is becoming more and more chaotic, it is natural that more and more people are willing to migrate to the Jiangdong region. In just these two months, hundreds of people have gone south in Shu County, don't look at it much, so many counties add up, it is a big number, as expected, at least 500,000 people have gone south, but I don't know if they can be resettled. Zhou Shang's eldest brother Zhou Chong said.
"If he can't solve this, then it can be regarded as a wasted reputation, it seems that someone intends to deliberately make things difficult for him!" Xiao Zhou Yu suddenly spoke.
"Brother Shang, maybe you're going to be tired!" Zhou Yu can see how Zhou Chong can't see it. couldn't help but look at Zhou Shang, only to feel that he was going south to Yuji County this time, and it was estimated that he was going to be implicated by Li Ming.
"It's all for the court, what if the younger brother is a little tired?" Zhou Shang smiled, since he couldn't avoid it, why should he care.
The Zhou family can understand the things, how can Li Ming in Shanyin County not understand, in just two months, there are people who have crossed south one after another, at first a few to dozens, and then hundreds or even hundreds of people.
On the side of Yuji County, Zhang Mo said that the population of the people who plan to settle in Yuji County has reached the upper limit. Continued resettlement may affect the subsequent recovery efforts in Yuji County.
"What should I do?" Li Ming found Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu.
"It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, my lord, the key to breaking the situation now is food!" Xi Zhicai replied.
It's possible that I'm going to be full-time this week, which means I'm going to starve to death if you don't subscribe......
