A total of 370,000 pieces of cotton cloth were spun in Yanzhou's factory, and in addition to the 200,000 horses sold, 170,000 horses were returned to the people of Yanzhou in the form of dividends.

Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders.

After taking stock of the harvest of the year, Su Zhe thought that the people had done too much work, and they had to build canals, roads, and schools...... In the past, it may not have been possible to accomplish so much in a few decades, and it is natural to share a little benefit to the people.

Half a cotton cloth per family, at least so that the children and the elderly can change into new clothes and live a comfortable New Year...... Indeed, as Su Zhe expected, the people of Yanzhou were jubilant and full of fighting spirit, and they all went all out and wanted to do a big job. As long as you have three years, you can have a piece of land that is completely your own, even if you are tired to death, it is worth it!

Taking stock of Yanzhou's achievements, except for paying less taxes than Jeju, all other items are far ahead.

And Jeju's advantage will soon be crushed.

Because with the development of education in Yanzhou, in two or three years, there will be a large number of highly qualified workers...... And Yanzhou has better infrastructure, more irrigation canals, and high quality cotton...... These advantages are enough to help Yanju completely surpass Jeju.

Wen Yanbo tried hard to find trouble in Yanzhou and proved that he was not bad.

As a result, Wen Yanbo only found one thing, that is, there are more criminals in Yanzhou, even more than Jeju, you must know that the number of criminals in Jeju has increased tenfold compared to the past, and there are even more in Yanzhou? What the hell did they do?

This question was answered by Zhang.

They were dealing with thugs left over from the Kong family, as well as hooligans and ruffians, all kinds of scum scoundrels, and, of course, a group of gentry and landlords......

Looking at the development of Yanzhou, Wang Ningan finally figured it out, and after seeing it clearly, he felt that he had sublimated...... The reluctant minister said that dividing the land can leave a way out for the people and give the people room for a roundabout change, which is of course reasonable, and Wang Ningan saw another layer of deep meaning......

From the pre-Qin period, the model of tenant has emerged, and after one or two thousand years, it has matured considerably, forming a whole set of complex relationships that operate around the land.

First of all, there are squires, landlords, and families...... They relied on occupying land, obtaining resources, supporting their younger generations to study, and entering the officialdom, but in turn, they fought for more land for them to escort.

In addition, the long-term reproduction has created a clan power, a huge family, often hundreds, thousands of people, the family law and clan rules are above the laws of the imperial court, the elders of the clan, give what they want, the younger generation can not resist at all, can only submit to the arrangement.

At the local level, the power of the imperial court was limited, and it was unable to directly manage the people, and there was a situation of collusion between the officials and the squires and clans...... In addition, there are a large number of green-skinned scoundrels, ruffians and hooligans, and so on.

This is common knowledge that many people know, but it is easy to ignore...... For example, this time Wen Yanbo made a mistake.

The chaotic forces were not cleared, and cotton planting was forcibly promoted, and naturally a large group of people came up like flies and mosquitoes, and everyone was rich, peeling layer by layer, peeling skin layer by layer, of course, the common people had to suffer, go bankrupt, go hungry, and even rebel in Liangshan......

This is not a problem that can be solved by dealing with a few corrupt officials and big households, as long as the local structure does not change, no matter where it is implemented, the result will be the same.

The common people will always suffer!

The reason why Wang Ningan observed for so long and did not rush to promote the change was because he was still not sure, how to change it?

He thought that it would be very difficult to reform internally, but relatively speaking, it would be much easier to use troops externally...... Grab land, grab resources, open up markets, trade slaves...... All in all, how good it would be to use all means to get good things to the Great Song Dynasty, and on the premise of not performing surgery on the Great Song Dynasty, we will realize industrialization, and we will realize the prosperity of the country and the strengthening of the army!

But after observation, especially the comparison between Jeju and Yanzhou, Wang Ningan sobered up, don't think that you can solve the problem just by attacking the outside world, if you can't do it, you can't do it!

The reason is also very simple, that is, the above-mentioned power structure that revolves around the land is still there, to make a visual analogy, they are like a tumor, Da Song is a patient, no matter how much he eats, he will only continue to lose weight and become weaker and weaker, because the nutrients are absorbed by the tumor cells and used to divide continuously, and the healthy cells lose their nutrients and keep dying.

For example, food was brought back from overseas, gold and silver currency were brought back, and various resources were brought back.

But you can't be like the king of the mountain, give all the people a big scale of gold, a small scale of silver, and send food directly to your hands! It is still necessary to put things into the market, rely on exchange, and fall into the hands of the common people.

But the problem is that the common people have been exploited by these people and have little left, and they can't take out the money to buy goods at all, and no matter how much they bring back, they have no value.

Instead, it will only increase the gap between the rich and the poor.

In addition, the continuous expansion of the market will accelerate the commercialization of agriculture...... Like mulberry trees and cotton, the area of these cash crops will definitely increase, just like what happened in Jeju, and I want to plant cotton on every piece of land.

Similarly, because of the existence of local tumors and the continuous sucking of nutrients, the common people did not enjoy the dividends of the market, but first suffered the devastation of commoditization, and the price of food skyrocketed, and there was no way to make a living.

This situation is also not unfamiliar, when Wang Ningan dealt with the Liao State, he used this hand, he relied on huge orders, to accelerate the commoditization of Liao's agriculture, and then the Liao State chaos, he took advantage of the weakness to enter, and recovered Youzhou.

The only difference now is that the one who has suffered has become the Great Song Dynasty, as the mastermind of the year, Wang Ningan naturally has to think a little more!

In fact, there is no shortage of similar examples in the world.

For example, Spain, which initially began to colonize, got the silver of the Americas and became nouveau riche...... But because there was not enough production capacity in the country, their silver was turned into a luxury order, to nourish the industrial system of England and the Netherlands, and the Spaniards became the god of wealth on the way, but fulfilled others.

The example of Spain shows everyone that if the state does not adapt its operating model to the operation of industrialization, the result will only be counterproductive, and the wealth plundered from overseas will instead bury the foundations of the empire.

Again, don't forget the size and scale of the Great Song Dynasty, a super empire that was larger and more populous than the whole of Europe.

The West can solve the dilemma by relying on complete plunder and immigration, but what about the Great Song Dynasty? If we don't make internal adjustments, and only put our hopes on overseas expansion and plunder, when the time comes, once there is an internal problem, millions, tens of millions of displaced people, who can afford it?

The output of the agrarian society was low, and the efficiency was low, and the imperial court did not have so much money and supported a huge bureaucracy...... There was no choice but to give up the place to the gentry and clan forces.

But after industrialization, commodities are abundant, and the imperial court has the strength to manage the whole society, so it is necessary to eliminate the interference of the gentry, reduce operating costs, communicate directly with the people, guide and mobilize to help them, integrate into the tide of industrialization, and share the fruits of industrialization!

Really live a good life.

Let's take Yanju and Jeju as examples.

For example, Jeju directly used slaves to pick cotton peaches, which aroused the anger of the people and felt that they had been robbed of their jobs.

As for Yanzhou, they also introduced slaves, but these slaves were responsible for mining, transportation, and doing the dirtiest and hardest work.

If you want to do this, there must be a premise, that is, to train the common people and give them better and easier careers, so that there will be no public resentment!

In the final analysis, it is still necessary to divide the land in order for the people to have the ability and financial resources to receive education and be willing to improve their skills!

To put it bluntly, the division of land is to take out the part of the benefits that the gentry group has obtained without work in the past, and give part of it to the people, so that they can use the ability to consume and have the financial resources to improve their skills and receive education; The other part was handed over to the imperial court as a tax revenue, so that the imperial court had the power to use foreign troops, open up markets, and support industries.

At this moment, Wang Ningan felt that all kinds of ideas and clues had come together, and a wonderful chemical change had occurred, the fog had dissipated, and the future path was clear.

It's also clear what to do.

Overseas development, colonial expansion, of course, but we must first adjust ourselves, take the initiative to adapt to the needs of industrialization, if you don't do your homework, you will be like a diabetic, no matter how much nutrients you consume, no matter how much glucose you drink, you will only get thinner and weaker!

……

Chaowen said, Xi can die!

Wang Ningan suddenly relaxed, what he was most afraid of in this world was not knowing the direction, it was very likely that the farther he went, the greater the price he would pay, and the more outrageous the result would be.

At this time, Wang Ning'an, he was sure that he would not be wrong.

He gladly ordered that Yanzhou's successful experience be revealed to the world. And asked all the state capitals and the six departments of the capital to send personnel to study in Yanzhou to see how to govern and develop the place!

Almost overnight, Su Zhe, Zhang Dian, Zhang Heng, and even Lu Yan have become role models for cadres, famous all over the world, and admired by everyone.

Officials from the neighboring state capitals came almost every day, and the tide of praise made several people blush.

Even a thick-skinned guy like Zhang Dun can't sit still, not to mention Su Zhe, who has always been very thin-skinned, I just did my duty as a parental official, and there is really nothing remarkable!

Of course, some people are praised, and some people are more cold.

In this duel, Wen Xianggong was completely defeated.

Although he increased some taxes, because of the rash change to cotton planting, which caused a shortage of local grain, the imperial court had to allocate 500,000 yuan to purchase grain and relieve the victims.

In addition, 500,000 yuan will be raised to pacify the robbers in Shuibo.

Moreover, Jeju's public security, local chaos, and various rectifications also require a lot of energy, and the overall actuarial calculation is that Jeju does not contribute as much as Yanzhou.

"Brother Kuanfu, the younger brother came to pay a visit."

Wen Yanbo said with a dark face: "Lord Wang, are you here to ask for sin?" Is it to be locked up, or to be beheaded? ”

"Hahaha, Brother Kuanfu is too worried, since it is a pilot of the imperial court, there are many things that are not out of your original intention, how can you let Brother Kuanfu be held responsible!"

Wen Yanbo breathed a sigh of relief slightly, but Wang Ningan's words next made the old guy thunder and fall into the abyss!

"It's just that something goes wrong, and someone has to take responsibility...... Brother Kuanfu, resign! ”
