Compared with before, Zhao's official position can be described beyond recognition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Under the "Inner History of Governing Su", which was in charge of the agricultural economy, Zhao Wuxian set up Taicang, Junyi, Pingzhun, Dunei, Jitian Wulingcheng, as well as two long histories of salt and iron.

Seven people are the next doctors, among which Tian Lingcheng is also known as the "Great Nongcheng", which is concurrently served by Fan Chi, a native of Lu, and the iron official is simply a woman: Yue Nu Mo Xie. Last year, she came to Zhao's Handan from Taoqiu, Luguo, because a large iron ore mine was found there, and both the quality and quantity of iron ore were far superior to Ludi.

A woman is an official, and she is a doctor as soon as she comes, which is unheard of, but everyone has no excuse to object, because Zhao's iron-smelting and wrought-iron system is almost supported by Mo Ye alone. She brought advanced technology and continuously improved it, which led to the situation that today's iron officials are all over the county, and Zhao's iron has been ranked with the southern gold and tin side.

In addition to the iron official history who attracted everyone's attention, Taicang and Junyi and Pingzhun Sanlingcheng took office in a low-key manner.

The so-called "equal loss" is to regulate the materials in various places, and Zhao's taxes are still mainly based on taxes in kind, in addition, the specialties of each county will also be transported into Yecheng as tribute. This practice is a legacy habit of the feudal era, as the so-called "one day in the raccoon, take the other fox, for the son Qiu", the people naturally contribute to the leader, as a matter of course.

However, this move had many drawbacks: it required a large number of peasants to transport special products, and the households could not bear the hardship; Long-distance transportation, the tribute will inevitably be damaged and deteriorated, and the freight often exceeds the original price by a lot; The tributes from all over the country are treasures in the local area, but they may belong to the subordinate goods after arriving in Yecheng, which can not be used by the government, but also cause a backlog of tributes and waste, and the gains outweigh the losses.

So Ji Ran suggested that it was better to set up equal-loss officials in each county to coordinate materials. Generally, tribute is no longer delivered, but is sent to the government and merchants to sell in areas where they are needed. For example, the cattle, sheep and horses produced by Bai Zhai in Shangjun do not have to travel thousands of miles into Ye, and they can be sold in Taiyuan and Wei's to get a lot of prices. In this way, it can not only reduce the losses caused by the transportation of tributes in the past, but also relatively reduce the burden on the households, and at the same time increase the fiscal revenue. In addition, the equalizer is also responsible for the allocation and delivery of grain in various localities.

The main purpose of the so-called "leveling" is to keep prices in various parts of the Zhao family normal, to prevent private businessmen from manipulating the market and making huge profits, and is a means for the state to regulate and control the economy at the macro level. Ji Ran famously said: "The system of all things is low, and the county often manages the county to win money", and the main regulation is the price of grain, salt, and wine.

These two institutions, which are the direct embodiment of Ji Ran's economic theory, were temporarily tried in the twelve townships of Yedi, and if they were effective a year later, they were then promoted to the seven counties of the Zhao family, as well as the Lu, Ju, and Sishang countries in the east, to realize the economic integration of this region.

As for now, the first challenge faced by the two men after taking office is to cooperate with Taicang to complete the plan of "making up for the deficiency with more losses".

As the name suggests, Taicang Lingcheng is the official name of the treasury of the cang, and the Zhao family has set up a "standing position" in various counties and traffic chong, and its purpose is to store the grain transferred by the officials from all over the country.

In August, the harvest was completed one after another, and the new officials of the three orders of Taicang were basically born as officials, and they had systematically studied Ji Ran's economic theory and the practical mathematics of Ji Qiao, and began to purchase and store in an orderly manner.

The equalizer officials were in control of the grain prices in various localities, and in places where grain prices were low, such as Hanoi, Ye, and Handan, the officials intervened in an official manner and collected grain at parity on a large scale.

Because of the obvious effect of Zhao's water conservancy project this year, coupled with the promotion of keel waterwheel and compost, almost all counties have had a bumper harvest, so when the government comes to buy grain, the people still welcome it. What's more, the purchase price was beyond the market merchants, and the people immediately flocked to it, but the subordinates of the officials who lost the official also instructed each family to have surplus grain in case of emergency.

Truckloads of golden, yellow, orange and orange grain were transported to the county capital's Changping warehouse, and after Taicang Lingcheng's subordinates took over, they stored millet and wheat according to storage. It is necessary to wait until there is a famine outside the country and when the market grain prices are high, and then under the standards of the equalizers, appropriately lower the prices and sell the grain that is in the regular liquidation to stabilize the grain prices.

So in September, Ji Ran counted that Zhao's seven counties and one capital, eight Changping grain and a total of 1.46 million stones, equivalent to 800,000 mu of corn field output (Zhao's mu is about 0.29 acres, generally speaking, the yield per mu is one and a half stones, and Ye land is two stones), and Ye land has been harvested in one year!

"Enough for 150,000 people to feed for a year...... "The subordinates of Zhisu Neishi smiled happily, but Ji Ran was especially dissatisfied......

……

As early as mid-July, the officials and merchants of the Zhao family, led by Yi Dun, turned into white-clothed merchants, holding the newly minted five-baht coins in the past few months, and went to Yan, Wei, Han, Wei, Zhou, Zhongshan and other friendly countries adjacent to the Zhao family, and began to buy grain at high prices.

Countries do not have such a perfect grain coordination organization as the Zhao family, and the doctors in Duyi sell their own grain, and the government can't control it at all. So under the temptation of profits, Han's Shangdang, Pingyang, Wei's Xinjiang, Quwo, Yan Guoyi's Xiadu, Zhou's Shan and Liu, Weiguo's Puyang, and the lords of Dafu left part of the grain stock, and sold the rest to those mysterious white-clothed merchants.

There was even a speculative Qi Zheng businessman, who learned that Zhao's grain was expensive this year, and did not think twice, and transferred the grain collected from Chu, Zheng, Qi and other places to Taoqiu for intermediate trading.

Before Han Wei Erqing reacted, these grains continued to flow into the Zhao family, and by the end of September, the grain stock had exceeded two million stones!

This is good news, like a great victory of tens of thousands of enemies at once! Looking at the report submitted by Ji Ran, Zhao Wuxian was happy in his heart, everything was as Ji Ran expected, and the people of the world were involved in this grand economic regulation and control under the impetus of "profit".

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit...... Qi Zheng's merchants can even sell the rope to hang themselves for the sake of profit, it seems that it is the right thing to set up a level and evenly lose, and to supervise the merchants to a certain extent......"

Now, in addition to the usual closing positions, which are not easily allowed to be used, the other warehouses are also full, and there is food in his hand and he is not panicked, and Zhao Wuxian, who is beggar-thy-neighbor, even began to gloat.

It seems that if the disaster and famine in the next year affect Han and Wei, their lives may not be easy!

After reviewing this report, it was put aside, and a thick stack of paperwork from all over the world had been piled up on the desk, and the night was getting deeper.

Zhao Wuxian was a little tired, he rubbed his temples, raised the porcelain cup and took a sip of tea - yes, he finally drank the tea, and transplanted the excellent varieties of wild tea in Wuchu to Ludi, the Dongwu City of Lu was surrounded by Yishui Yi Mountain, the water was good and the soil was good, so several tea gardens were built, and after several years of domestication, the bitterness of wild tea leaves gradually turned into fragrance. As a tribute from a son to his father, tea was transported to the Zhao Palace on the banks of Zhangshui, and was accompanied by the best spring water from the Hundred Springs of Hanoi County to create a unique taste.

Because Zhao Wuxian loves tea alone, for a while, the doctors and scholars in Yecheng also competed to follow suit, and tea tasting became a must-have thing for elegant gatherings. This was originally just a kind of unpopular medicinal material into the medicine was quickly speculated to a sky-high price, like a new luxury, the tea plantations in the Lu country are constantly expanding, and the local households benefit from this.

After a short rest, Zhao Wuxian looked at the only two pieces left on the desk: one of them had an elegant and handsome font, which belonged to Ren Zhang, and the other had strong and neat strokes, which belonged to Lu Ban.

His brows furrowed suddenly, not long ago, the two of them had a big quarrel next to the big waterwheel on the outskirts of Yecheng, and Zhao Wuxian had already learned about it from the "black clothes" who were secretly monitoring hundreds of officials. One is a radical Taoist pacifism, the other is an extreme main war faction, in Lu Ban's view, the war is just a testing ground for his siege equipment, and it is strange that the two can talk together.

After thinking about it, Zhao Wuxian still stretched out his hand to Lu Ban's share first, and just opened the first page, his eyes lit up.

"Being able to draw inferences from one case and apply water power to iron smelting is really worthy of being the ancestor of craftsmen......"
