……

Chen Ming chose to go out, he had long wanted to go out for a walk, not to escape the summer and cold, but to really go deep into the people and places. So after the dust settled on Malay and Timor Island, he took a group of cronies, set up a guard of honor, entered the Central Plains, went straight to Jin Province, and then transferred from Jin Province to Guanzhong, and he spent the New Year in Xi'an.

It's been a while since I've been to see places, especially in the north.

Chen Ming visited Jin Province to see the water and soil protection and management projects that have been carried out for several years.

It has been four years since a series of regulations were issued to Jin Province.

Is there a layer of green on the Loess Plateau in Jin Province?

Has the situation of soil erosion improved? What is the real effect of silt dams?

There is also the migration of people in Jin Province. In recent years, Jin Province has been a key province for population migration, just like Shandong and Hebei.

In the latter province, the population of the two provinces moved because of the large number of people, but the Jin province was for the sake of 'maintaining water and soil', which is ridiculous to many people. It will take many years before the effects of large-scale mountain closures are visible. After four consecutive years of migration, the effect can be seen immediately.

In the first year, the migration was relatively limited, and in the second year there was a surge.

By the third year, not only was the immigration system more complete and skilled, but the old surnames that had migrated before had been settled in a definite manner. The Immigration Bureau mobilized some immigrants to return to their hometowns to mobilize relatives, friends and neighbors, and showed up to say the truth, which moved many people's hearts.

In recent years, the population of Jin Province has dropped from 8 or 9 million at the time of the founding of Chen Han to less than 8 million now. It doesn't seem like a big reduction, but if you count newborns, it's absolutely amazing.

These migrants have either entered Mongolia or the inhospitable northeast, with only a small number going to Xinjiang.

Since the beginning of the third year of Chengtian, the people of Jin Province have stopped moving to Xinjiang, and the latter are mainly Guanzhong, Sichuan, and some Henan.

Chen Ming didn't have time to go to every place in Jin Province, so he could only focus on a few prefectures and counties.

The situation in Jin Province made him generally satisfied.

There are many small trees on the hills, and the thickness of the trunk is obviously not something that can be faked in a short period of time. Alfalfa cultivation is also increasing in Jin Province, where the scale of traditional free-range farming has shrunk dramatically, with many stories of the latter, such as fights and brawls, resistance to law enforcement, and even bloodshed.

Honeycomb coal has entered thousands of households in Jin Province, and the silt dam has also been well received by the people. This kind of cultivated land is easy to cultivate, has strong drought resistance, fertile soil, and high agricultural yield. Taking a certain town in Jizhou, the westernmost part of Pingyang Prefecture, as an example, the highest yield per mu of 353 mu of dam land is more than 400 catties, and the average yield per mu is 260 catties. This number is not to say that it is the fertile fields in the south of the Yangtze River, but the paddy fields in Henan, which can be easily reached if you take care of it well. But this mu yield is a complete miracle in Jin Province!

When the people see the benefits, they will take the initiative to pounce. Enthusiasm for the construction of silt dams has increased dramatically.

But there are always those who want to get something for nothing.

After Chen Ming entered Jin Province, his continuous good mood was almost ruined.

"How unreasonable!"

He slammed the report in his hand to the ground, and the murderous intent in Chen Ming's eyes soared. There is never a shortage of these dogskin upside downs, and there are always some bastards who want to be opportunistic.

Move away the people who should not be moved, just to covet the silt land left behind by the people after they are gone; Those who should be moved are not moved, and the poor are poor, so they are just tenants.

Moreover, in order to smoothly move out those who should not have moved away, most of them had to take the first-class quota with the best treatment for them, which squeezed out the interests of those who should have enjoyed the first-class relocation quota, and caused a lot of chaos in Jizhou two years ago. This matter was also covered by the Pingyang Mansion, and the government court directly took the killer, and as soon as the matter started, the incident subsided. So much so that Chen Ming didn't know.

"Your Majesty is angry. Although this matter is annoying, looking at the actions of those gentry officials, there is no more tragic incident of Hongguoguo taking people's land, and those people who have been incorporated into the emigration, although they have been deceived in ignorance and have been taken away from the dam land, they have also been included in the first-class list. "The only people who are sad are those who should have been classified as Class A and have fallen to Class B, or even Class C.

But on the whole, there is a reward and a reward, compared with the Ming and Qing dynasties, when the gentry officials regarded the people as fish and meat, slaughtered and slaughtered at will, the current world is much better.

While persuading Chen Ming, Wang Huizu also secretly sighed in his heart that the way of the world had really changed. For example, if those officials and gentry colluded with each other twenty years ago, they would still need to be included in the list of 'first-class' with the best treatment, and they would have taken away the dam land in the yamen signing room. In other words, after these silt dams showed their effects, the right to hold back the water and build the dams was no longer the common people's, but could only be held by these gentry.

Moreover, the land yield of the dam land will be cut by three and minus four, and it is good that 100 acres of land can be listed on the list and 50 acres. The dam land that is registered in the field register will also be recorded as the most barren lower field. But this is already a merit for the official, because this is Xintian.

But now? The gentry and the officials also had a tacit understanding, but in order to ensure the smooth implementation of their plans, they tried their best to put the shell of first-class immigrants on their subjects. Even if this thing was done to this point, it still aroused the dissatisfaction of the common people, and there were township officials jumping in it, so that it was overturned. The Pingyang Provincial Court did not tolerate adultery, and punished the officials and gentry involved in the case in Jizhou cleanly. In the end, the only unlucky one was Ge Er, the stunned Qingxiang official, who was sent to the northeast branch by the newly arrived Jizhou officials for a reason.

"Your Majesty, the effect of the silt dam is obvious, the investment is small, and the technical content is low, and it is generally welcomed by the people of Jin Province. However, for a long time, there have been problems in the construction of silt dams, such as incomplete policies, imperfect construction and management systems, insufficient investment, and unclear property rights. To a certain extent, the incident in Jizhou is a reaction to the above problems, the policy is not matched, the construction and management system is not perfect, and the property rights are not clear, "in the long run, it will seriously affect the healthy development of engineering construction." ”

"Now that the problem has exploded, it needs to be solved."

To put it in a cliché, around the policies, mechanisms, systems and other contents of the construction and management of silt dams, through understanding the current situation, analyzing problems, exploring countermeasures, and making suggestions, we will further improve or formulate relevant policies on the construction and management of silt dams, continuously promote the reform of the construction and management system of silt dams focusing on the property rights system, establish a benign operation mechanism for the construction and management of silt dams, fully mobilize social forces and the general public to build dams and protect dams, and accelerate the enthusiasm of soil erosion control, so as to promote the ecological construction of soil and water conservation in the Loess Plateau.

These are all clichés, and they are all great ideals that stand from a very high angle and hope that everything will develop in a good direction. In fact, it's easier said than done.

But Chen Ming is such a person who has risen to a high position.

His order was conveyed, and even if the officials of Jin Province felt that it was a big trouble, they would rush into it with all their might.

Chen Ming's royal car stayed in Puzhou Mansion, and one step further south was Fenglingdu. He waited quietly here for the answer given by Jin Province.

As a graduate of a third-rate university in his previous life, Chen Ming was really a very wasteful person, he knew what was going on with the silt dam, but he didn't know what the specific situation was.

In the past four years, a total of 5,500 silt dams of various sizes have been built in Jin Province, and 1,500 have been washed away by floods, and the proportion of damage is very high, and the proportion is even higher in the first two years.

However, the good return of the silt dam has stimulated the enthusiasm of the whole province of Jin, and the flood cannot stop it.

The vast majority of the 1,500 damaged silt dams were built by the private people, but the rate of large and medium-sized silt dams built at the expense of the state was far lower than the overall rate, less than 10 percent.

This matter involves some technical issues, although the technical content of the silt dam is very low, but it also requires technology.

As for the washed out silt dams, not all the investment was destroyed in one fell swoop, in fact, more than ninety percent of the destroyed silt dams can be easily repaired, and the actual damage is very small.

Because the way the silt dam is washed away by the flood is to break a gap in the dam body or spillway, the silt surface behind the dam is scoured to a certain extent, and the erosion speed is very slow, which does not cause too serious losses to the downstream, because the location of the silt dam construction will not be close to residential land and fields, and there is no too serious damage to the dam body. The upstream dam body can continue to be used, and the restoration of the dam body or spillway is not large.

Therefore, the actual damage of so many silt dams that have been washed away by the flood is far less shocking than the numbers suggest.

As for why the silt dam was washed away, in the current era when statistics had just been implemented in the work of the Chinese government, and when various mathematics and engineering were still sprouting, it was more a design technical reason than a directional problem.

The eyes of the common people are really bright.

From the beginning, the state advocated, to a year or two later, they spontaneously raised funds. It's a transformational process.

When the people saw the benefits, and the state encouraged them to fight for them, they naturally pounced quickly.

It's just that at the beginning of the construction of many silt dams, due to lack of experience, the embankment is built too large, the flood discharge hole is high, the stagnant water cannot be discharged, and the dam is full of silt, and often cannot be put into planting for two or three years. Some of the spring crops planted in the dam fields were washed away by the flood just after the harvest season. This is because we do not understand the habits of silt dams, and we cannot effectively grasp the laws of silt dams.

Generally, small silt dams are made in the spring, and the mud is held back in the autumn, and barley can be planted in the second year; The large and medium-sized silt dams should be clearly calculated and arranged appropriately, and after about two years of siltation, they can be planted in a large area and officially put into production.

This knowledge is not known to Chen Ming himself, and it is the result of the silt dam management office of Jin Province in the past few years.

At the same time as the meeting of Jin Province was being held, a man who had been away from Jin Province for two years was riding a Mongolian horse towards Binh Duong Province.

He wore a dogskin hat on his head, a fur coat tinged with yellowish wool, a spear hanging from the back of his horse, and a double-barreled short gun at his waist. This kind of bandit-like dress is very, very common in the winter of the Northeast.

Entering Hebei from the northeast, this kind of dress is not dazzling, because there are also many people in Hebei who are dressed like this, except for not being equipped with guns. But when he entered Jin Province, Ge Er's outfit pierced his eyes.

He was stopped by the police many times along the way, and finally he wrapped the spear in a pocket.

Heading south from Taiyuan, passing through Huozhou, and seeing that he was about to arrive at Pingyang Mansion, Ge Er's tears that he thought he had dried filled his eyes again.

When he started to do something, he was prepared, knowing that he would offend the entire official, even if he overturned people, he would inevitably be thrown into the cold palace. At that time, Ge Er thought about how he would live after losing his official position. I didn't expect the new group of guys to be even more damaged, so I sent him directly to the Northeast.

As the mayor of the town in the north of Jilin, the official was promoted, but the days were really sad.

Not only are there flag bandits in the mountains, but the local people are also more horizontal than one another. Almost every household has a license to carry a gun, a long gun, a short gun, and even a grenade.

There are still some North Koreans in the local area, who will not return to North Korea, and run to the peasants to become serfs, and they will not go.

If you take someone to deadlift someone, then the master will dare to hold a gun against you.

Because of the special environment in the northeast, militias must be organized in local villages, and some border villages even have small cannons.

Horizontal no.

And the life of the locals, to be honest, Ge Er feels that it is more nourishing than the small landlord in his hometown.

The land in the northeast is so fertile that it can flow oil. Although you can only plant one crop a year, the harvest is definitely high. Winters in Tohoku are extremely cold, there are few pests that can adapt to this harsh environment, and there is plenty of sunlight in summer, so as long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely have something to eat.

There are many mountains and forests around, and the wild things in them are their own.

Although the immigrants here owe a lot of money as soon as they come, the state will not let them pay land taxes for the first three years, and the grain collected will belong to them.

In the town where Ge Er is located, every household goes to see it, and there are hoards of grain at home. Therefore, the price of grain here in the Northeast is three or four percent cheaper than that in Shanxi, and the rice in the Northeast is also delicious. Especially in the past two years of Ge Er's visit, a large number of Mongolian horses have entered the northeast, Horqin and Guo Erlus have been defeated by the imperial court, and a lot of horses have been captured.

The imperial court also promoted horse farming in the northeast, and with the continued promotion of small and medium-sized family farms, the area of cultivated land in the town tripled in the year Ge Er went. Horse farming is much faster than ox farming and human farming.

When the grain is worthless, soybeans are planted. Contracts were signed directly with the purchasing department of the military and civilian companies and with the agricultural goods company, and when the things were harvested, they would send cars to pull them.

If it was changed to the Qing Dynasty, the income of many families in Ge Er Town would have exceeded that of ordinary landlords.

Although the old immigrants here owe a lot of debts that have not yet been repaid, the white-flour steamed buns are open to eat, and they can still eat meat every once in a while, and the food at home is still full. If this day had been put ten years ago, it would really be the same as the life of a fairy. (To be continued.) )
