Chapter 486: The South (Part II)

Therefore, Song Jiu didn't want to touch it.

This was the reason why Song Jiu had gathered the merchants after watching it for more than a month.

Let's donate.

At first, he didn't donate much, and Song Jiu took these donations and used them to build the enclosure. But several things were done, the first of which was to write down the use of these donations and post them under the walls next to the entrance gates of the county offices, so that their purpose was transparent.

But thanks to Miss Guo Meimei, otherwise Song Jiu wouldn't be able to remember the benefits of this transparent use, so maybe it would become a malpractice.

And it is concentrated and used, such as the development of a certain area, the funds used are Zhang Moumou and Li Moumou, and others try not to use them, and when they are concentrated, Zhang and Li will spontaneously inquire about the use of the funds and play a supervisory role.

Then pull Zhang Moumou and Li Moumou here, and introduce to everyone, you have to thank them, without them, there would be no this circumference.

Of course, this is also thanks to the questioning of Lei Feng by some comrades in later generations, the spirit of picking up gold and the spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name is admirable, but how many people can do it?

Human nature is complex, with good and bad sides.

People are not themselves, and the destruction of heaven and earth occupies the main body, and collecting gold is only an external effect.

What is the role of promoting what you can't learn?

However, although Brother Biao is suspected of hype, although he has gained fame and other benefits, he can promote it, and many people will learn spontaneously when there are benefits, although this kind of good deed has selfish intentions, but in the end it is a good thing to do.

And it has an immediate effect.

Seeing the gratitude of the people, more and more people donated.

The money was not only used to build fenced fields, but also to lend money. Loans were given to poor people to buy cattle and farm implements. It is repaid in 10 years without interest.

Every year in late September. Send someone to go down and take it back, and then the money that comes up will continue to rescue other poor people, but no one urges them to pay, they are not afraid of not paying, they are all written and posted with their names and hometowns, hello, there are countless poor people, if you don't pay it if you get better, then what will the villagers think of you?

Again, it's about taking advantage of human nature.

Of course, there will be very few people who encounter great difficulties. Even those who were forced to be homeless became homeless people, and they left their hometowns, what else did they pay? This is for doing good, not for profit.

That's the first thing.

Secondly, the construction of some grass markets, but also covered a lot of shelter from the wind and rain, rain or shine, the grass market does not stop, in order to use the development of business.

Then the school was built. Encourage the wealthy to set up schools and build roads.

And this time, it may take a few years, and Song Jiu is not in a hurry. There is not much movement if there is no hurry. In the first year, the movement was small, but in the second year, Suzhou's income increased, including taxes. Song Jiu withheld the increased taxes. Continue to use it for development. However, the tax to be paid is not less.

So in the second year, the movement was a bit bigger.

When Zhao Kuangyi paid attention to Song Jiu, it was already the third year. The actual time is also two years and two months.

This year was even more dynamic.

Chen Shu was scolded by Zhao Kuangyi, so he informed Song Jiu. Your taxes in Suzhou have increased, so you should hand over a little more to the imperial court.

Song Jiu replied with a letter, do you kill chickens to get eggs, or hatch eggs and raise chickens to lay more eggs? Zichan governs Zheng, three years of great happiness for the people, I don't have the ability to give Zisan, you must give me four or five years, then you can hand over all taxes to the imperial court.

Chen Shu was helpless.

However, four or five years may not be able to turn Suzhou into a paradise, but it will produce a huge transformation.

In fact, from the second half of this year, Suzhou has seen a transformation. Including some people from other places who saw this change, they came to Suzhou one after another.

Until this year, Song Jiu didn't have to turn on any more modes.

What I did before is something that everyone can learn from, if they are so imitated, it is like learning to write poems and learn Lao Du's poems, as long as you learn one scale and half a claw, one is convenient to govern.

Thanks to the respect of thousands of years of master culture, as well as the ruler's policy of fooling the people, Lu Xun said that the Chinese have always been obedient and bear the burden of humiliation, as long as they have food to eat, they will not starve to death, and they will not resist. Only when even slaves can't do it, will they rebel.

The reason why such and such problems arise in various places is that the officials have gone too far! Not even a slave! It became a dark side household of Bashu of Wang Xiaobo's uprising.

It's not good......

Although the "Diao people" are difficult to manage, they also force the rulers to rule carefully. Otherwise, it will be pushed to a certain point, and the dynasty will be overthrown. Compared with the internal governance of the Ming Dynasty, the internal governance of the Song Dynasty obviously did a better job. But the Ming Dynasty is not bad, at least the Ming Dynasty will not train many minions.

However, Li Zicheng rebelled, and everything was gone.

Or if the people of Bashu revolt again and again, and rebelled again and again, although Song Jiu's current status is somewhat disliked, but that also forces the imperial court to pay more and more attention, and even if he is not a good official, then he cannot serve as the governor of Yizhou.

But this Song Jiu didn't dare to say, so he had to do it.

The same is true in Suzhou, not giving orders, talking to everyone, and then doing things with a dull head.

It seems that it can also be regarded as a kind of inaction.

It wasn't until this year that Song Jiu's movements became bigger.

At once, he and several uncles of the Pan family took out hundreds of thousands of dollars and smashed them.

Terrible smash.

This money is still used as the kind of interest-free loan, with this money, all of a sudden all the people have land, reclaimed countless fences, anyway, now the number of households in Suzhou has not reached the peak. Every family has a ploughing ox and a farming implement.

However, I also have to thank Zhao Kuangyin for canceling the cattle tax in his hands. Cattle, horses, donkeys, mules, and other large livestock are not counted in the statistics of the two households, no matter how much they raise. As a result, the number of cattle is slowly increasing.

Then he introduced advanced textile machinery from the north, and even invited some excellent weavers to teach the people textile skills.

In later generations, it may be that Suzhou embroidery is famous in the world, and it may be that Songjiang cotton industry has created the richest area in the Ming Dynasty. However, the most developed areas of textile industry and craftsmanship are not in Jiangnan, but in Hebei and Shandong, followed by Chengdu. The craftsmanship in Jiangnan is even inferior to that of Li Man in Hainan.

And the government holds an annual weaving competition, and the top ten government associations can give some rewards.

It just so happened that at the end of the past two years, it was slowly done, and all of a sudden investment of such money went on, and there was a qualitative change immediately.

Song Jiu wrote to Chen Shu, saying that it would take two or three years, and if there were really two or three years, Suzhou might really enter the Paradise Era ahead of schedule.

The following is a feedback on what Song Jiu has done in the past two years.

In fact, something happened at this time.

Zhao Kuangyi took Liu Shi as the envoy of the three divisions, and Liu Shi did one thing when he arrived at the three divisions. In the past, it had fought against the Liao State for many years, and the supply mainly came from Jianghuai, but many poor people could not pay heavy taxes, so they had been owed, which were recorded in the documents of the three ministries and departments. When the harvest came, the local officials continued to impose these rents and taxes, causing many people to flee their homes in turn. What the state gets is not as good as what it gets.

Therefore, he wrote to ask the imperial court to write off these tax arrears and give the poor people in Jianghuai a chance to live. Everyone thought he had a point, so they agreed.

But that's not the case with execution.

The state raises taxes for ordinary officials who are very happy, and they can create a lot of cats in the middle to make profits for themselves, but as soon as the taxes are reduced, problems come one after another. It just so happened that Li Weiqing was a salt and iron envoy, and he was still a good official, but his son-in-law embezzled some official money, and the officials were afraid of Li Weiqing and did not dare to impeach.

Li Weiqing himself is not very clear, and the nature is very similar to the Yu family.

Liu Shi found out after he arrived at the third division, so he reported it, Li Weiqing was implicated and demoted, Li Weiqing was a little unhappy, do you also learn from Zhao Rong? It's not a lot of money, can't you say hello in the dark?

It happened that Liu Shi implemented the matter of exempting Jianghuai from tax arrears, and some small officials could not take advantage of it to make profits, so they united together to attack Liu Shi. The two quarreled, and Liu Shi was dismissed from his post as the envoy of the Third Division.

Liu Shi is a good comrade, a talented man in the Southern Tang Dynasty, ambitious, and well-educated, and was later reused by Song Taizong, sentenced to the three divisions to grind the survey division, and the traitors were afraid to obey, and made outstanding contributions to the transparency of the accounts of the three divisions and the lack of greed for ink. Its method is called the three-year grinding method, and its person is also known as Liu grinding survey.

This time, he entered the third division to reduce and exempt Jianghuai from tax arrears and tax evasion, and his intentions were good, but he did not get things done, but he complained, and he looked at the result, so he could only remove the officials and reduce the turmoil in the court. However, the deep-seated reason may be that the officials of the three divisions have always been dissatisfied in their hearts, and they have accumulated seizures. There is also Li Weiqing's credit, this person is a small official, and he is also a talented person, but he is stained with the vulgarity of many officials, including small heart, deacon, revenge, etc.

However, doing things without understanding what is at stake is a mistake in itself.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi looked at the things that Song Jiu had done, and he was a little distracted.

Compared with Liu Shi, Song Jiu hardly saw any contradictions occurring in Liangguang or East and West Prefectures, or Hedong.

Jiangzhou is a special case, the time is too short, otherwise Zhao Kuangyi believes that Song Jiu will make everyone happy sooner or later.

Later, the fight with Chai Zhao and the others was also a special case, and it could not be taken seriously.

In fact, it is a matter of ability.

Zhao Kuangyi noticed another problem, that is, a rhythm of Song Jiu's governance of Suzhou.

It is this rhythm, and guided rather than imperative governance, that, despite all the things done, has not caused much controversy. And then before you know it, everything gets better, and it's getting better and better.

"This is the real name......

Zhao Kuangyi suddenly had an impulse.

But at this moment, as the weather gradually became colder, his wound flared up violently, and the idea of recalling Song Jiu was dispelled again.

Although he felt guilty in his heart, he only made two moves, the first move was to transfer Wang Juzheng, who was very similar to Song Jiu's style, to Zhongshu as a political counselor, and gave Song Jiu's two sons promotions, one for the governor, the other for the general judgment, and the two states are still good states.

But since then, the most controversial or shameless king in the history books has been getting worse and worse every day. (To be continued......)
