Entering the whole state, Liu Yunzhang felt the unusual atmosphere, except for the necessary personnel left on duty by the state and county yamen, all the rest went to the villages and towns, and even the patrol houses left behind are not very many, after all, because the yamen is not manpowered, when it is necessary to go to the villages and towns on a large scale, the patrol will also be transferred, plus there are 5,000 iron-blooded soldiers stationed in the whole state, and the entire public security situation here is still good.

Liu Yunzhang was surprised by such a situation in Quanzhou, after all, the situation here is different, it is different from the Fuzhou County to which Shannan West Road belongs, and nominally speaking, it still belongs to the jurisdiction of Shannan East Road, but when discussing the two documents, the state and county assassins and county orders to which Quanzhou belongs also went to Liangzhou.

In the fields, there is a busy scene everywhere.

Seeing such a situation, Liu Yunzhang accelerated his trip and quickly returned to Liangzhou.

Most of the officials of the Yamen went to various prefectures and counties, and there were not many who stayed on duty, even Li Rupei personally inspected the vicinity of Liangzhou City.

Liu Yunzhang did not waste time, and after arranging everything, he quickly rushed to the outskirts of Liangzhou, where Li Rupei was located.

Li Rupei, Qian Shiqu and others were inspecting the fields.

Seeing Liu Yunzhang, Li Rupei did not show a surprised look.

"Liu Gong, they all say that this year's plan lies in spring, this year is the most important year, in the spring ploughing season, whether all cultivated land can be planted with food, is related to the livelihood after autumn, and must not be delayed."

Liu Yunzhang nodded, the importance of spring ploughing had long been emphasized in the document.

"The prince doesn't have to inspect in person, these things can be done by Qian Tingshi and his subordinates."

"A certain is worried, Shannan West Road belongs to Fuzhou County, the place is not big is relatively large, if the seeds can not be planted, the autumn harvest season can not harvest grain, there is no sufficient food, any problems will appear, last year Shannan West Road has been delayed by Lu Yanhong, the grain is generally poor, the people's life is very difficult, this year the government must pay attention to spring ploughing, there are inspectors in various places, if there is a place to vacate the farmland, then the government must accept the punishment."

"The prince can rest assured, with the supervision of the prince, Fuzhou County will never dare to delay the agricultural time, and he will go down to supervise tomorrow, if there is a place that does not pay attention to it, he must be severely punished."

Li Rupei nodded.

The three of them walked along the field path and continued to patrol.

In many places in Shannan West Road, rice is mainly planted, and some wheat is occasionally planted, but the harvest of wheat here is not very good, so there are not many people who are willing to plant, Li Rupei noticed this problem, and asked the people to plant spring wheat, after all, there are only so many paddy fields, and a lot of mountain fields, it would be a pity if they were empty.

Li Rupei once didn't understand why some mountain fields would be empty and didn't plant anything, he even thought of crops such as corn and sweet potatoes, but unfortunately after he thought it through, he didn't know that in this era, there were no corn and sweet potatoes.

The main crops of this era, the north is millet, the south is rice, in addition to some sorghum, on the whole, the greatest contribution of the Tang Dynasty in agriculture, is to create rice seedling cultivation, rice cultivation from direct sowing in the field, to sowing in the seedling field first, seedlings grow up and planted in the field, this practice saves water consumption, but also expands the cultivation area, but wheat is still directly sown, so the yield is poorer.

Li Rupei is not an expert in agriculture, and he can't drum up the so-called hybrid rice and so on, and the only thing he can do is to attach importance to agricultural production and let the people actively farm.

After all, in this era, the most important thing is agriculture, the people take food as the sky, and if there is no food, the world will be in chaos, and the people will be forced to rebel. In this era, commerce and trade are far from occupying a major position, whether it is the court or the common people, the most important thing is land.

This is a rule that Li Rupei must follow, and it is impossible for him to break this rule.

In terms of management methods, he can make large-scale improvements, for example, where there is a shortage of seeds, the government can buy a large number of seeds, provide them to the people, and finally in the tax, the price of the seeds will be counted, and when the people pay the taxes, that is, when the government will recover the seed investment.

Li Rupei's most reassuring thing is that the people in this era are very simple, and the Confucian ideas of courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith rule all the people, and the township rules and regulations are almost determined in accordance with these requirements.

The most important task of the spring ploughing season is to start breeding seedlings and start to prepare the fields, not only the paddy fields need to be organized, but also the mountain fields need to be organized.

The grain output is not very high, and Li Rupei has no good way to solve it, and at this time, he even regretted it a little, he knew that he was going to cross, why didn't he learn more about agriculture, then it could come in handy.

Every time he saw a seedling field, he would stop and ask how many seedlings should be provided in this seedling field, how many fields should be planted, and some questions could not even be answered by the people who farm all year round.

Liu Yunzhang and Qian Shiqu and others who followed him did not seem surprised for a long time, the prince's ability is extraordinary, this is the reality that they have long accepted, the prince is so familiar with the following situation, and it seems that he also knows a lot about spring ploughing, and the prince can care so much about spring ploughing production, if there is no harvest of grain this year, it is unreasonable.

After dark, everyone returned to Liangzhou City.

Along the way, Li Rupei specifically told Qian Shiqu that Liangzhou is the location of the Yamen of the Shannan West Road Jiedu Envoy, and it is also the place that has attracted the most attention, and the documents issued by the Yamen of the Jiedu Envoy have put forward specific requirements for spring ploughing production, and the Fuzhou County to which Liangzhou belongs must take the lead in doing so, so as to be able to become an example below, all the officials who go down to inspect must be careful, they must be aware of it, and they must not be so-so, they can not only know the general situation, and Qian Shiqu, who is the chief official in this regard, can find a way to check, Those who are required to go down to inspect should report in detail, and all officials who do not know the situation will be reprimanded, and if such situations occur again and again, the officials will be punished according to the rules, or even dismissed.

Li Rupei does things seriously, which is known to everyone around him, but the arrangement is so meticulous, it is still a little unexpected by Liu Yunzhang and Qian Shiqu.

Liu Yunzhang later understood that this was actually what the prince did for him, and the implication was to remind him that in the future, the civil affairs of Shannan West Road should be carried out in accordance with this method, everything must be concluded, there must be supervision, if it is not done well, it must be punished in place, and if it is done well, it will be rewarded.

Teaching by word and deed, Li Rupei can be said to have done his best to be benevolent and righteous.

Back at the Jiedu Envoy Yamen, Li Rupei was already very tired, and throughout the day, he saw a lot of places, and he was in a hurry to eat, and he didn't pay attention to anything.

came to the side room, and after Liu Yunzhang sat down, Li Rupei spoke.

"Liu Gong, spring ploughing season, the rest of the things have to be postponed, a certain long time ago, the people take food as the sky, only by doing a good job in spring ploughing and production, the grain harvest is abundant, the people can really settle down, whether it is the iron-blooded army, or the people, if there is no food, it will be chaos, the government at all levels must understand this, a certain thought, as long as they really understand this, when they go down to supervise, they will not be perfunctory."

"The prince's painstaking efforts, his subordinates understand, and his subordinates will go to various prefectures and counties tomorrow to inspect."

"It's good that Liu Gong understands, your energy is limited, it is impossible to inspect every place, so it takes too much time, and the effect is not very good, I think that Liu Gong's main task is to grasp the officials at all levels, and the reason why I went to the fields to see it recently is to make an appearance for the officials below, this is for the officials to have their own responsibilities, the prefect and the assassin Shi cannot do what the county order should do, and the county order cannot do what the elders, Li Zheng and Jiashou should do, each has a clear responsibility to complete its own responsibilities, Everything can be done well. ”

Liu Yunzhang nodded and did not speak, in fact, he also knew that his duty was to firmly grasp the officials at all levels, and the officials below the specific things to do.

The importance of the spring ploughing season, officials at all levels should be clear, but unfortunately over the years, there are very few officials who really attach importance to spring ploughing production, and the affairs of the common people have no direct relationship with the officials, anyway, the income of the officials will not be less, and they can also be exploited from the people, whether the people have food to eat, they don't care at all, which has also led to many years, the peasants have rebelled, and Huangchao has been able to rebel for so many years, which has a direct relationship with this.

Li Rupei focused on spring ploughing production, which made Liu Yunzhang difficult to say about this trip to the capital for a while, but he had to say these things, after all, he brought more than ten people, and Li Rupei needed to make a decision to arrange, in addition to his conversations with Cui Anqian, Zheng Zheng and others, as well as the confrontation with Tian Lingzi and Liu Jurong and others, as well as the emperor's attitude, etc., these are very critical things, and they must be reported to Li Rupei immediately.

Li Rupei stood up, walked around the room for a few steps, and turned his head to Liu Yunzhang to speak.

"During this time, the two things that are most important to a certain matter, the first is spring ploughing production, the second is commerce, Ma Dianjun is responsible for business and trade matters, and has gone to Quanzhou to meet the businessmen from Luoyang, the specific situation, but also until Ma Dianjun returns to Liangzhou, to be able to know, if this year, can really do these two things, then many plans can really start to be implemented."

After walking in front of Liu Yunzhang and stopping, Li Rupei spoke again.

"Liu Gong came back from the capital so quickly, it seems that he has gained a lot, what is the matter, let's talk about it in detail."
