Chapter 351: Immerse yourself in development

There was a lot of tossing and panic in the DPRK and China, but Sichuan and Yunnan were particularly calm. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This year, the weather was very good, the wind and rain were smooth, the strong support and encouragement of the government, and the hard work of the people, the grain was harvested, and the Yamen, who had been preparing for the war, also took advantage of the situation to purchase a lot of grain, all of which were stored to prepare for the upcoming war, because the grain was harvested, and the common people had surplus grain at home, whether they could live a rich life or not, at least they did not worry about starvation.

When the place is stable, it will naturally attract the people.

Since June, people in the area of Jingnan Road have begun to flee in the direction of Sichuan.

At the beginning, there were not many people, after all, it took courage to come from the Jingnan Road in Pingchuan to Sichuan, which is high and densely forested, and the distance of the road and the uncertainty of the future also discouraged many people.

But in August, the number of people coming to Sichuan began to soar.

Since the end of August, many wealthy families and businessmen on Jingnan Road have come to Sichuan with their families, and these rich families and businessmen have a keen sense of judgment, and they have found that the people in Sichuan are unusually stable, almost every household has surplus grain, and the government is very polite to the people and businessmen.

Of course, there are also a lot of businessmen and wealthy households, go to Lianghuai, but unfortunately the news from Lianghuai is very bad, the local government will generally not accept, if the rich businessmen want to enter the city, they must come up with a lot of money, in order to achieve the goal, and the place of Lianghuai is not stable at all, although there is no Mongolian Tartar, but the local desolation, as well as a succession of bandits, so that many rich families and businessmen have suffered a big loss.

As a result, the stable Sichuan has become the first choice for those fleeing to Jingnan Road.

Hao Jing, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, believes that the stable situation in Sichuan is not easy to come by, and in recent years, the government at all levels has been benefiting the people, and the government itself is not very rich.

There are also many people who agree with Hao Jing's view that he does not accept it, and the festival makes it clear to almost all the officials of the yamen that the war is coming, and I am afraid that the use of money will be even more tense at that time, and if too many people are accepted, a lot of money will definitely be consumed.

However, these views and understandings were blocked back by Wu Shaogang's words, that is, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

Of course, Hao Jing and the others understood this truth, and they also further realized Wu Shaogang's ambition.

The people who fled to Jingnan Road in Sichuan were appeased by the local government, and the merchants and wealthy families were basically resettled in Chengdu and Tongchuan Mansions, while most of the ordinary people were resettled in Lizhou East Road and Chongqing Fu Road.

Although it is said that the autumn harvest season has passed, it is good to be able to put the land into practice before the spring ploughing of the next year, so that the people who come to Sichuan can stabilize.

The government must also take out some of the grain so that the fleeing people will not starve to death, and at the same time, some local businessmen and wealthy households should also appropriately donate some money and food to help the fleeing people tide over the difficulties.

The understanding and demands of the people from top to bottom are the same, and the resettlement of the refugees has proceeded unusually smoothly.

It is a miracle that a large number of people from Jingnan Road fled to Sichuan, and there was not a single homeless person.

On the other hand, in Lianghuai, Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road, there are different degrees of displaced people.

Of course, the local government will not care, these wandering people, not under their jurisdiction, and do not need them to report to the court, the officials who are specifically responsible for the disposal of these people, are to reap a lot of benefits from it, and those who can take out the money are allowed to enter the city or village, and those who cannot take out the money are mercilessly driven away, or even treated as bandits, either imprisoned in prisons, or beheaded.

This method of dealing with it allows the displaced people to appear quickly, but this situation is also temporary, how can ordinary displaced people endure the expulsion and meanness of the government, if they close their eyes in grief and indignation, or they are forced to fall into the grass.

This made the people who fled from Jingnan Road have a very bad reputation in Lianghuai and many other places, so that Jiangnan Road does not accept any people who flee from Jingnan Road at all, no matter what their identity is.

The Intelligence Bureau has a clear understanding of this information and situation, and it has been continuously reported to Wu Shaogang.

After Hao Jing and the others saw this information, they couldn't stop shaking their heads, and they also knew that if Sichuan did not accept the people fleeing on Jingnan Road, these people would really be cornered.

In November, more than 300,000 people had fled from Jingnan Road to various parts of Sichuan.

In fact, Jingnan Road is a densely populated place, the people who fled from the Central Plains back then, most of them settled in Jingnan Road and Jingbei North Road, and now the descendants of these people probably can't imagine that they have fled from the Central Plains to avoid being bullied by Jin Bing and Mongolian Tartars.

300,000 people have already made all parts of Sichuan feel difficult, after all, the vast majority of those who fled to it are ordinary people, but Jiedu makes their orders clear and must be accepted.

In December, the number of Baixin people who entered the Jingnan Road in Sichuan began to soar, and even the people in the Jingxi North Road began to bring their families to Sichuan, and in just half a month, the total number of people entering Sichuan exceeded 100,000, which made the total population of Sichuan and Yunnan soar to about 5 million.

This is a huge number, maybe not at all after a thousand years, but considering that after years of war, the deaths and injuries of the people are heavy, coupled with the natural and man-made disasters, which have deprived many people of their lives, as the relatively remote Sichuan and Yunnan two places, the total population exceeds five million, which is incredible.

In order to cope with the rapidly increasing population, Wu Shaogang asked Jiedu to make the yamen transfer a part of the money, mainly the money obtained from trading with Tibet, and allocate it to the government at all levels to cope with the sudden increase in expenses.

Since the first year of Xianchun, officials at all levels in Sichuan and Yunnan have implemented the standard of Yulu issued by the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy, and the biggest difference between this standard and the imperial court is that the disparity between officials at all levels is not very large, and the focus is on the officials at the state and county level, the number is not very high, but the officials get real money and silver, and there will never be Jiaozi.

Sichuan and Yunnan, because of the strength of the army, resulting in local stability, prices are also stable, there is no big ups and downs, many foreign businessmen come to Sichuan and Yunnan, basically stay to do business, this also makes the two places of commerce and trade prosperous.

The government's collection of trade taxes is tough, and it can even be said to be ruthless, which has encountered resistance from some merchants, but their arms can't reach their thighs, and the merchants finally obediently pay taxes according to the requirements of the Yamen.

However, one of the biggest advantages of doing business in Sichuan and Yunnan is that you don't have to worry about being deducted.

Each place has set up a trade guild, the guild is responsible for coordinating with the government, and each guild has the support of the government officials at all levels, if there are officials who eat and take cards, they will be severely punished.

This makes the businessmen who do business in the local area very reassuring, in fact, the businessmen who make a noise in Lianghuai, the capital and the south of the Yangtze River, take out the money of filial piety, compared with the taxes paid, the amount is much higher.

The stability of the government, the stability of the merchants, and the stability of the people will inevitably lead to the rapid development of the local government.

The policy of the Yamen is still the principle of low income and low consumption, which is also a matter of no choice, and a large amount of money must be used to maintain the expenses of the army.

Wu Shaogang also knows that such a situation cannot be maintained for a long time, and high salaries may not be able to support the incorruptible, but low salaries may lead to large-scale corruption, and if officials are unable to support their families, it is impossible not to reach out to the people.

In particular, the stability of the local people for many years has made the local people basically stable and basically able to eat enough, and at this time, it is necessary to take into account the affairs of the officials.

In June of the third year of Xianchun, after a long period of deliberation and discussion, the festival made the yamen once again issue a new plan for the adjustment of the salary, and the official's income was raised by about 50% on the original basis.

This is a huge change, and officials at all levels are in favor of it with both hands.

Although the festival made the yamen grit its teeth, and there may even be an overdraft, it still increased the income of the officials to the letter, and the result of this move was that the enthusiasm for the work of the government at all levels was even higher.

As the envoy of Yunchuan Jiedu, Wu Shaogang's prestige in Sichuan and Yunnan has reached an unparalleled level, and even in the government at all levels, the officials do not think of the imperial court, not the emperor, but the envoy of the Jiedu.

After Li Tingzhi resigned from the post of secretary of the ministry, the ministry almost did not send officials to Sichuan and Yunnan, and there was almost no reply to the recital of the Yamen of the Yunchuan Festival.

It is not so much that this is the venting of the opinions of the officials on Sichuan and Yunnan, but rather that they are helpless.

The officials who govern Sichuan and Yunnan are the envoys of the festival.

The Yunchuan school also began to play a major role, and the school began to train officials at all levels in accordance with the requirements of the Jiedu envoy yamen, and at the same time opened the door widely, absorbing outstanding talents to study in the school, and after passing a certain examination, sent to the government at all levels to do things.

It can be said that the three years of Xianchun were an extraordinary year for Sichuan and Yunnan, and many of Wu Shaogang's governance ideas began to be implemented to the letter in this year, and the best results were obtained. (To be continued.) )
