Yu Jing was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Zheng Lang didn't seriously think about the meaning of what he did, he did it intuitively, from Taiping Prefecture to Hangzhou to the northwest, and more people were gathered to hold meetings and consultations, which was later democracy or republican atmosphere, and the officials of the Song Dynasty did not do this, closed the door, began to build cars, and then executed, the big deal was to go down and take a look, and then do some repairs, that is a good official, it is definitely not a real democracy, but it gives people a feeling of more or less respect.

Done well, it will make a difference, such as now.

A lord boldly asked, "Gong Zheng, how much time can you stay in Liangguang?" ”

Zheng Lang smiled kindly and said, "I am not only here to quell the rebellion, but with the emperor's holy will, I came to govern everyone and give everyone a happy life." Since I came, the time will not be short, maybe two or three years. ”

It's not short or long, if you want to be the prime minister's protégé, join quickly, otherwise there will be no such shop in this village.

Although Sun Kang, Song Xian, Zhu Shoulong, Yuan Qian and others are not top-level good officials, they are good officials, but after hearing Zheng Lang's first article, they were also surprised.

Zheng Lang was looking at the expressions of the barbarian leaders, after coming to Lingnan, he saw many bad phenomena, but also saw some good phenomena, just like Qinzhou Fanzi, because of his admiration for the Han people and like to borrow the Han race, the Lingnan barbarians have no imaginary rejection of the Han people, some barbarians also like the costumes of the Han people, and many people can still speak fluent Chinese, although it is the southern Song Dynasty dialect.

As long as you are tolerant of your heart,It's not difficult to sinicize.。

did not disappoint him, and many barbarians spoke enthusiastically one by one. They have said that they will send their children to study, and some of them stay in the deep mountains and old forests, and they are not very familiar with the outside worldly affairs. Seeing others doing this, they also joined in, asking for their children to be sent to the new college.

This is not a trivial matter. They are all the children of the chiefs of each village, and once they learn the Han culture, they will inevitably bring the traditions of the Han family to each village. From clothing to etiquette to living habits, etc., it is popularized from top to bottom. After all, there are very few people who go to Jinshi to be admitted to the Jinshi, but they become rebels. There is also a question of education methods, God knows who Nong Zhigao will learn from Han culture.

After this proposal reached the imperial court, it caused a little urgency, and after seeing Zheng Lang analyze all kinds of interests. Also passed. With not much money, it's a big deal to send some old people who have not passed the provincial test, but have learned to come to Guizhou, and Guizhou is also the only area on Guangxi Road that does not have the existence of the legendary miasma, and the Central Plains people are not very afraid of here.

Zheng Lang pressed his hand again, and called out a person dressed as a barbarian and asked, "Old Weng Weng, I asked you." How much rice can you harvest in one acre of land? ”

The old man shook his head.

There were some difficulties in communication, Zheng Lang was not in a hurry, looked at the ground, used a stick to mark an area the size of an acre, and asked, "Such a large piece of land." How much paddy can be harvested? ”

This time he understood, and the old man replied, "Four or five buckets." ”

Not necessarily, the fighting in the south is very non-standard, but the fluctuation will not exceed forty percent, which is similar to the information that Zheng Lang obtained. Zheng Lang clapped his hands, walked out of a peasant from behind him, and said: "He is a citizen of Taiping Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River, Niu Shilang, you come to tell him, how much grain can be harvested in a year on one mu of land in Taiping Prefecture?" ”

Niu Shilang replied cautiously: "Five or six stones, and the tall one can have seven or eight stones." ”

It's more than a dozen times.

Zheng Lang took out another sugarcane and said, "If you grow sugarcane, how much income will you have in a year?" ”

"Three or four times." Niu Shilang replied uncertainly, although the profit of sugarcane is high, but the government controls it strictly, and the planting is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the Niu family has never calculated it.

Zheng Lang was afraid that everyone would not understand, after all, it was too backward, and said: "In Lingnan, in most places, a cow is only worth two yuan, that is, if an acre of sugarcane is planted well, you can get a cow and a half. ”…,

There are also cattle in Lingnan, but they are mostly used for food rather than farming.

"Another example is grass cotton, which was introduced from Lingnan, but the Central Plains is planted properly, and the yield of one acre of land is five to ten times that of Lingnan. For example, Guizhou, which is about the same size as Hangzhou, has a Ling Canal, a Yushui River, and a Li River, but its population is less than a quarter of that of Hangzhou. ”

"There's a miasma." One by one, they complained bitterly.

"Miasma will talk about it later, besides, if such a piece of cloth maintains this workmanship, it is worth more than four or five yuan in Beijing, and it is worth the price of two cows, if the workmanship is more exquisite, it will be a sky-high price, it will come from your Li Man's tribes, but have you made good use of it?" Zheng Lang picked up a roll of Jibeibu on the table and said. This is a special product of the Li nationality, Li Barbarian women have been weaving Jibei for a living since childhood, using the local Qi, silk, or also using the Qi cloth of the Central Plains, folding the silk, adding kapok to pick a single or curtain, because the handicraft is exquisite, the woven flowers are gorgeous and colorful, become the sought-after goods in the capital, Zheng Lang said that four or five money is a conservative number, a good horse can be worth more than a dozen dollars, often in the ruler of the price, not in the horse or zhang. Cui Xian also bought a few zhang to make bed sheets, and one zhang cost more than two yuan, of course, it was the best goods.

A series of numbers made everyone's eyes dazzled, and some of them didn't know etiquette, and they were actually flowing harazi.

Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty has transferred 1,000 households from all over the country to teach you planting techniques, business, weaving, and breeding. ”

Since they are all relatively large-scale villages, there is no problem in protecting the safety of several Han families.

This is not a requirement, it is still a gift, one by one, bow down again.

Zheng Lang suppressed the excited chiefs with gestures again, and continued: "Also, this time the imperial court has rewarded some farm tools, as well as some living materials, including mosquito nets and the like, I will send someone to distribute them to you later, since ancient times, the family of doctors and witches, your customs like witches and hate doctors, I hope you can correct this habit, and there will also be a department in the academy, and you will invite wise doctors from the Central Plains or your local area to teach medical skills and treat various diseases for your relatives and clansmen." If you have this idea, you can also send someone to sign up. Say it again. The college will provide room and board, and you will only be responsible for the travel expenses. ”

Even this has been considered, but I don't know how much money the court has to spend. Yu Jing couldn't help but shake his head in his heart.

Zheng Lang said again: "Then say that there is a way to treat miasma, after everyone eats." Please go to Fujiang with a certain person. ”

At the mention of these two words, everyone changed color.

There is no miasma in almost the whole territory of Guizhou, but the Fujiang area from Yangshuo to Zhaoping in the south, Luocheng, Wuzhou, and Datengxia in Liuzhou are all barren miasma areas, and they are miasma at three o'clock, and they cannot live for a long time. In fact, Zheng Lang analyzed it seriously. If the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountains and forests are deep and leafy, the water is living water, not necessarily miasma, the forest purifies the air, and the living water takes away the decay, and it is not easy to produce the so-called miasma. If only there was no grass growing in the vast area. There are no living things, and it is not easy to produce miasma. I am afraid that there will be water, and the water will be stagnant, or it will be very gentle, and the woods will be thin. There are a lot of poisons growing again, these places really have to be careful, don't don't believe in evil, no one can bear it.

However, why is it that environments such as Datengxia are the hardest hit by miasma? It can't be said that the forest is not lush and the water is not alive. Without him, malaria brought by mosquitoes is also, including Fujiang.

Just like Gu poison, in the end, even the Miao people themselves believed it. There are poisons, but are they as evil as the legends?

But Zheng Lang also frightened the rumors, and deliberately chose the February season, when the miasma in Fujiang had not yet arisen, to bring everyone to the miasma zone, the rumors spread fiercely, uninhabited, dense forests, but the water resources are definitely very rich. Everyone was a little scared, and Zheng Lang took the lead to go in. Seeing Zheng Lang enter, everyone walked in tremblingly, and Yu Jing also hesitated for most of the day to enter. …,

Even though it's February, farmers are still paddling the turf with sticks, and snakes are infested, and because they are uninhabited, it has become a paradise for reptiles, including some brightly colored snakes and spiders. It's not that scary, but every now and then there will be some to avoid anyone getting hurt. Then cut out a barrier, which must be made clear, although most of them are evergreen plants, you should also pay attention to prevent the entire mountain forest from catching fire. Begin to scatter firewood on the ground, especially those damp and rotten places, pile them thickly, and start burning. It took two or three days to sort out a large area, and while the ground was smooth, it was ploughed and exposed to the sun with oxen. Let everyone learn while directing.

If you can still see the so-called miasma, and teach another method next year, it can only forcibly spend money to change the soil environment, force the poison away, and change the soil quality. I don't know if it will work, and there may not be many chiefs who will go back to do it. In fact, what has changed is another thing that everyone can't think of, mentality! The root cause remains malaria.

Led the trembling people out of this terrifying area, Zheng Lang continued: "Nong Zhigao tyrannized Lingnan, many of you here have suffered from it, in order to prevent this phenomenon from happening again, one is to be more vigilant in the future, and the other is to yourself, after all, the forbidden soldiers in the capital are not suitable for the south, so His Majesty's edict is to draw one ding for a household of more than three dings to protect the armor, exempt from all taxes, train with most of them in winter leisure, occasionally cooperate with the court to rob, or participate in the suppression of riots. But the imperial court also made appropriate allowances for them. ”

In fact, it is a fusion version of the Baojia Law and the later Southern Soil Military Service Law of the Song Dynasty. At this time, if you say it, you can accept it, and if you don't cooperate, you will forcibly recruit the native soldiers. It's better to simply cooperate, and you can also exchange for a high profile.

Zheng Lang picked up another feather, that is, the tail feather of a peacock, there are many people in the south of Lingnan who breed it, and when they are raised by chickens, there are more cochines, and he said: "Such a green feather is worth dozens of dollars in Beijing, and the gorgeous one can be worth hundreds of dollars, but I saw someone throw it away as garbage, why?" Not knowing what it's worth. Why don't you know, business travel is not prosperous. There is also the Jibeibu I am talking about, in some places, a high-grade Jibeibu is only exchanged for dozens of porcelain pots, but this kind of porcelain basin is only worth a few cents in the Central Plains, and the expensive ones are only a few tens of cents. Why? ”

Inertial thinking, almost at the same time, replied: "Business travel is not prosperous." ”

"In the middle, the reason why business travel is not prosperous is because many of you like to trade slaves, including merchants who used to trade have also been repeatedly caught, this situation, how can business travel be prosperous? But how much can it get? A slave is only a few dollars, and the slightly older Li Mantong can produce thousands of green feathers a year, and this profit alone has hundreds of dollars, hundreds of dollars, how many slaves are worth? I will cite just one example to show how heavy your losses are. Therefore, the imperial court issued an edict prohibiting all ministries from selling slaves without permission, do you agree? ”

It can also be said that the imperial court has given you a lot of benefits, and you have to repay it, right, but to put it another way. Although it is an order, it is still for their sake. As a matter of fact, all kinds of barbaric and backward customs continue to be maintained. No matter how it is governed, it will still fall behind. However, Zheng Lang was also afraid of causing more trouble, and did not dare to propose the abolition of slavery. The trilogy system jumped directly to the feudal era. Although some people hesitated, they still reluctantly agreed, it depends on the fact that it really brings many benefits, and it will definitely cooperate, if there are no benefits, it is still far away from the emperor. Who's afraid of whom. It was Zheng Lang who said so many heart-warming measures, otherwise Zheng Lang would have been booed out of office a long time ago.

Zheng Lang said again: "Many measures are made from scratch, you must also obey the arrangements of the imperial court, find the imperial court where there is difficulty, and find the magistrates and counties in various places." Zhizhou, if you are not satisfied, please come to Guizhou to find someone. If you don't do well, you will go directly to the court. ”…,

This is even more ambiguous, what is arranged by the imperial court?

Zheng Lang didn't say anything at all.

Lay this pit first. The first is taxation, Lingnan taxation is very chaotic, there are heavy tax areas, especially the Han people's residential areas, there are light tax areas, familiar areas, there are free zones, and barbarian areas, not only tax exemption, but rewards. However, the latter is not necessarily beneficial, because it is derailed from advanced civilization, life is very hard, and the more remote and appeased the place, the more impoverished it is.

This is the real Lingnan now, and the same is true for other confined areas.

Cultivating an unruly character, and being poor, can you not harass other jurisdictions?

This must be unified, even if the tax situation of the various chiefs who come is not the same, but after integration, and there are disciples who come to study, there will inevitably be doubts, let them propose solutions by themselves, and the court will not take the initiative to force it. It is solved, but it will not produce too many contradictions. But it doesn't work yet, there is only one law, force.

There is also the problem of immigration, the two regions are generally sparsely populated, such as Fengzhou, if the largest prefecture is less than 2,000 households. Only compared with some county towns. The migration of a large number of Han people is more conducive to the rule and kingization of this area, which is the fundamental policy. It is also relatively easy, Jiangnan West Road, Liangzhejiang and Fujian Road are very densely populated, land is tight, and the same is the south, before unwilling to immigrate, one is that no one in the imperial court is organized, and the other is that the safety is not guaranteed, even so, there are a large number of people from Fujian Road to Guangzhou Chaozhou area. As long as they don't do too much, there is enough land to settle down, but if they say it directly in a deliberative tone, these people think that they have suffered a loss, but they do not cooperate.

Said vaguely, but unclearly.

Everyone left happily and took the people back to each village as a treasure, but only Zheng Lang had this matter, and the others did not have this prestige, so they might not be able to believe it. I am afraid that after Zheng Lang, the Song Dynasty will not send such important ministers to Lingnan.

There are many more affairs, road construction, water conservancy construction, and there are almost no decent water conservancy projects in the whole of Liangguang except for a few officials who have a sense of responsibility. As well as the expansion of the Ling Canal, immigration, these will be in the coming year. We have to let everyone see that this is the case, and one acre of land can grow several stones of grain, so that we can generate higher interest and take the initiative to cooperate.

Zheng Lang wrote down the situation one by one and reported it to the imperial court.

Pang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, don't worry, the court can afford to wait, you are in a hurry, Jinghu South Road is asking for money, Lingnan is asking for money in large quantities, the battle is still fighting, the soldiers want to be rewarded and beneficial, I can't live my life. Amitabha, God willing, there will be no catastrophe this year.

A large number of She barbarians have not yet arrived, which is not only related to the governance of Guangdong South Road, but also the salt road, attacking the heart and attacking the city below, it is best to convince them. But one after another, some of the village owners arrived, and they all wanted to ask for it.

Zheng Lang deliberately left them out in the cold, find me and wait for the festival.

Most of them can be united in their hands, Zheng Lang has the confidence, he can't be a comprehensive enemy, but he can be a partial enemy. Moderately soft, but also moderately hard.

To Zheng Lang's surprise, some businessmen came to Guizhou one after another to meet him.

Sure enough, it was a profit-seeking, seeing that the south was building roads on a large scale, Zheng Lang personally went down to Liangguang, Nong Zhigao was quickly pacified, only one battle, no matter who fought, even if Di Qing fought, didn't Di Qing also in Lingnan? So some businessmen came to see if they could make some benefits like Taiping Prefecture and Hangzhou. This is the entire Liangguang Road, no matter the area or population I don't know how many times that of Hangzhou. Besides, Zheng Lang fought on Jingwei Road and made a market change at the same time, can Liangguang Road be cured?

Also welcome, but it's still the same sentence, Shangsi Festival.

At the same time, he carefully handles the affairs of the state capitals, and no one knows what the future will look like, but it can make people smell the breath of spring hope in the air.

The Shangsi Festival is also approaching, Zheng Lang came home from the state government, and suddenly he was stunned, a beautiful young woman was talking to Yue'er. Zheng Lang asked apprehensively, "Why are you here?" ”

The young woman stretched her waist and said lazily: "The concubine can't get married, so I have to come to the south to see if Zheng Xianggong can look at the face of the old man and let the concubine do a little business and earn a little pension." (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
