Chapter Seventy-Nine: Busy People

Say goodbye to tears, the most difficult to absorb the grace of beauty. www.biquge.info He didn't dare to face Lu Rui, let alone mention Li Yan to her, he didn't want to make it clear, he didn't want to explain, he just wanted to take one step at a time.

In the middle of the night, Lu Rui nodded with a smile after sending Xiaotian home (so weird), and flew away with a breath, like Chang'e running to the moon in the moonlight.

Fortunately, Xiaotian didn't have time to think about these children's affections, because after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Xiaotian became a busy man, and he couldn't learn the art of shadow clone.

Departure on the sixteenth day of the first month, the group arrived in Hangzhou on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, not much slower than six hundred miles, Xiaotian was relieved not to go down to Xia Ke Island, and decided to go back to see first, Zhu Qi lived in the Weaving Bureau, Hu Zongxian returned to the governor's yamen, and Zhao Wenhua lived in the Qincha Xingyuan.

It is no exaggeration to say that he exercised the function of a trade center and a city shipping department, where ships of goods were pulled and ships of goods were shipped out, and there were almost nothing that could not be bought, and there were no goods that could not be sold.

Never underestimate the aspirations of the poor for a better life, which will give them endless courage and strength. The speed of construction on the island is completely beyond Xiaotian's imagination, and the speed of construction depends entirely on the speed of incoming materials, as if no matter how many materials come, it will be instantly melted by the enthusiasm of the islanders for construction.

Pawnshops, casinos, restaurants, all kinds of storefronts, only a few months to complete the actual completion. The money for these construction is all paid by Xiaotian himself, and those who want to open a store will help build together, and they will hand over a part of the profits to Xiaotian in the first two years, and the store will be yours after two years. Of course, military dependents are preferred.

The originally planned buildings are nearing completion, and even Wang Youtian's mother-in-law organized some women to partner in opening a printing and dyeing workshop, which was not planned by Xiaotian. Li Ah Po bean paste is a must, opened a noodle restaurant on the island to sell fried sauce noodles, although there are still some tails that have not been done, but it has already begun to open, three big men in a bowl, there is no place to sit and squat into a long row, holding the big name to eat deliciously.

In four and a half months, the island has changed a lot, and now Xiao Xian is resurrected, and he can't recognize his old nest. And during this period, there was an endless stream of people coming up from the sea to join Xiaotian, and Xiaotian almost did not refuse to come, he was not like other pirates as long as he had combat effectiveness, in Xiaotian, whether it was men, women or children, they could find their own use. After Li Yan's statistics, the new population on the island in the past four and a half months has reached more than 20,000 people, of which 15,000 are refugees from the two Huai Fa Shui, and there are more than 5,000 combat strength among the more than 20,000 people.

Liu An reorganized the more than 5,000 combat strength, and transferred 2,500 people from the two armies of chivalry and back, and formed a patrol battalion of 10,000 people, patrolling the island day and night to defend their hard-won fruits of victoryThose who buy and sell by force are killed, those who are shoddy are killed, and those who commit adultery are killed. There were only four of them, and there was no other way to execute, and in the beginning, the patrol battalion had to cut off ten or eight heads every day, but now it is much better.

The only building on the island that slows down the progress of the project is the City Lord's Mansion of Xiaotian. The general main frame has been cleaned up, Li Yan has already moved in, but the decoration has not been moved, Xiaotian is an elegant person, to put it bluntly, it is a matter B, his house is very detailed, Li Yan and others can't understand his pursuit at all, so they can only wait for him to come back.

Xiaotian was indeed full of expectations for his house, what color to use, what furniture to use, all planned, but as soon as the change of rice to mulberry came out, where did he have the leisure to fiddle with the house? You can't drag it anymore, there is no way, Xiaotian urgently asked Yang Jinshui to organize a group of garden designers from Suzhou and send them to the island to decorate the house.

Suzhou garden is half of the south of the Yangtze River, and the houses drummed up by these designers should not be bad.

As soon as Xiao Tian left for four and a half months, how many major events had accumulated on the island waiting for him to decide? Li Yan is a long-haired and short-sighted person, and he doesn't dare to make decisions on many things, so he can only wait for Xiaotian to come back, and Xiaotian has to understand the situation from scratch, and the matter of changing rice to mulberry is inseparable from the help of Xia Kedao, so they have to start buying food for storage now, so Xiaotian is now holding meetings and meetings every day, signing and signing and signing, and he is so busy that he is very happy.

Although Xiaotian was so busy that he couldn't sleep well, he was still busy for a month before he sorted out the things on the island. At this time, Hangzhou City was about to turn the sky upside down.

Before Lehe broke up with Xiaotian, the two set a policy of action, first changing to a large household, then a small household, and finally a farmer. There have always been rebellions and troubles, all of them are peasant rebellions, when have you ever heard of the rebellion of big households? In addition, the increase in grain prices will not be able to starve these large households, and after the completion of the reform of these large households, the goal will be more than half completed, so that even if the small households and peasants change unfavorably, they can barely tide over the difficulties, and if they can't weave 700,000 horses, they can weave 500,000 horses, and if they can't weave 500,000 horses, they can weave 300,000 horses.

What is a large household? What is Haoqiang? To put it bluntly, the powerful family can not give you the face of the court at any time, and you can't move others, and it is far more tricky to deal with than ordinary people.

The huge bureaucracy is enough to change any policy issued from the central government beyond recognition, and Zhao Wenhua has three heads and six arms, and he can't manage the county or the township if he manages the state capital. What's more, he may not even be in charge of the state capital.

An acre of mulberry field is about fifty percent higher than the income of an acre of farmland, and the imperial court has exempted the mulberry tax in Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the next few years.

The new mulberry seedlings can only produce two autumn silkworms, and the silk produced by the young leaves cannot be exchanged for rations, so to change the rice to mulberry, it is necessary to allocate at least one quarter of rations to the newly changed mulberry field, and I don't know who picked it up, all the big farmers who grow grain and the rice bank will hoard the grain, and everyone knows that the price of grain will inevitably rise after changing rice to mulberry, so they all cover it in their hands, and no one sells it.

That's it, the grain used by the imperial court to change rice to mulberry cannot be directly distributed to the people, it has to be distributed by the local government at the level of the government, except for the point in the official warehouse, a large amount of grain has to be bought from the hands of large households. How much oil and water is in it? There are these big people around Hangzhou who can still be restrained a little, but if you go to the countryside below, the people can't get a grain of compensation for a grain of food, and the silver allocated is gone.

How much grain do we have to allocate for millions of acres of rice to mulberry? The silver allocated by the imperial court is not enough, and they have to borrow grain from large households, and this time and again, even the land with silver, how many people's wealth is this up and down? Not to mention, many of them were tacitly approved by him Zhao Wenhua.

If the people can't get next year's subsistence rations, they can't grow mulberry, and the imperial court has a decree, so those big families will take the opportunity to suppress the people's land prices, plus the price of grain has risen, and it usually takes 50 quintals of grain to buy an acre of land, but now it has become 30 quintals.
