Chapter 192: The Five Divisions Meeting

Lin Yuan returned at night without alarming anyone, only the servants of the Lord's Mansion knew.

When Lin Yuan got up the next day, he found that almost all the officials of the five divisions had arrived in the lord's mansion.

Everyone has to report to Lin Yuan.

First of all, Kosun He, the head of the Toji, has completed his task.

"Your Majesty, the household registration statistics and the measurement of acres in the territory have been preliminarily completed."

Lin Yuan is now a high prince, and Gongsun He calls him king.

"The king has jurisdiction over the four counties of Suizhou, Yingzhou, Yunmengze, and Hanyang......"

"Suizhou has 2 county seats, 25 county seats, 10.4 million mu of fertile land, a total of 730,000 households, 2.6 million people, and 4 mu of fertile land per capita."

"Yingzhou has 1 county seat, 6 county seats, 24 towns, 1.4 million mu of fertile land, a total of 150,000 households, 700,000 people, and 2 mu of fertile land per capita."

"Yunmengze has 72 large islands, 30 acres of fertile land, 600,000 acres of fruit forests, a total of 50,000 households, 300,000 people, 1 mu of land per capita, 2 acres of fruit forest!"

"Hanyang has 1 county seat, 3 county seats, 7 towns, 140,000 mu of fertile land, a total of 30,000 households, 150,000 people, and less than 1 mu of fertile land per capita."

"In addition, Malan City has 60,000 people and a population of 250,000!"

Lin Yuan nodded and asked, "What is the total amount?" ”

Gongsun He replied: "The total population is 4 million, and the per capita is 3 acres of fertile land. ”

"Only 3 acres?" Lin Yuan frowned, he had jurisdiction over the land of the four counties, the land was vast and sparsely populated, and many areas had not been developed.

Compare Suizhou and Yingzhou.

The area of Yingzhou is slightly larger than that of Suizhou.

However, Suizhou already has 25 county seats with a population of 2.6 million.

Yingzhou, on the other hand, has only 6 counties and 24 towns, with a population of just 700,000.

Of course, Yingzhou has been in war before, and the situation is special.

Being able to develop to this scale in just a few months shows how powerful Zhuge Liang is.

Obviously, Yingzhou still has great potential for development.

There is also Yunmengze, fertile land can not be developed, but fruit forests can be developed, and there are fisheries.

Lin Yuan had just bought the [Gonggong God Statue], and Yun Mengze would inevitably usher in an outbreak.

As for Hanyang, Lin Yuan is already preparing to build it as a training ground.

At the same time, some large-scale military industries such as armory workshops, armor supervisors, and iron-smelting workshops are also preparing to move to Hanyang.

Lin Yuan doesn't care about how many fields there are now, but whether the food he grows is enough to eat.

"Li Bing, according to the scale of our fertile land this year, how much grain can we harvest?"

Li Bing stood up and replied: "Your Excellency, our water conservancy project is only 30% completed, and many places cannot lead to canals, and the yield will not be very high, about 5 units per mu of output value, a total of 60 million units of grain!" ”

1 unit, i.e. 1 person's ration for 1 month.

60 million units of grain, deducting the annual ration of 4 million people, 40 million units, and 5 million units consumed by marching and fighting, and 5 million units consumed by subsequent displaced people.

In other words, in the entire territory for a year, there are less than 10 million units left.

Converted, it is 5 million taels of silver.

Lin Yuan was very dissatisfied with this result, "The grain output value per mu is too small!" ”

Li Bing's face was slightly pale, and there was a trace of cold sweat on his forehead, "I will increase my efforts this year to strive to complete the water conservancy project to 80% and ensure that the output value per mu exceeds 10 units!" ”

"Good! Your words have been written down by the king. Lin Yuan nodded, and then reminded: "While building water conservancy, don't forget to reclaim fertile land." ”

"In this way, I will set a small goal for you, today next year, I hope to see 20 million acres of fertile land in the territory, and the water conservancy project is 80% completed, how about it?"

"Humble command!" Li Bing nodded heavily.

Lin Yuan smiled and continued: "As for the other projects, you can ignore them, just take charge of these two projects. ”

"Gongsun He, you go next to count the number of various ore veins and scarce resources in the territory, and you must be detailed."

"Yes, Weichen is ordered!" Gongsun He nodded yes.

"Your Majesty!" Among the ministers, Bao Zheng suddenly stood up.

During this period, Bao Zheng has been inspecting the territory, raising the law code of the place of punishment, and avenging the grievances of the people, winning a good reputation.

"Your Majesty, when he was inspecting the local area, he saw too many illegal things, and the villagers decided the right to speak with bravery, and hoped that the king would set up a judicial yamen in the local area and establish a criminal law."

Lin Yuan nodded, agreeing with Bao Zheng's opinion very much.

As his territory expanded, the population of his territory increased, and there were many dark places that he could not see.

At the beginning, the three-level system of county, town, and village was only a framework for governance.

When the number of people is small, a few officials can manage a large area.

But as the number of people increases, even the officials are incompetent, and the darkness below will grow.

At this time, an invisible guardian is needed to maintain this framework.

This guard is the criminal law.

Protect the country with the law, so that the people below can develop the habit of abiding by the law.

This is a good thing, but the criminal law is not something that can be written in a moment.

However, the criminal law of the Great Song Dynasty, which has been used before, has many shortcomings in many places, which allow the bottom to breed darkness.

"The matter of the judicial yamen must be done as soon as possible, but it is difficult to write the criminal code for a while...... "Lin Yuan had a difficult face.

Bao Zheng spoke again, took out a book from his bosom, and said: "Your Majesty, this is the 24 points of the criminal law extracted from the lowly position, and it may be temporarily used as a criminal code!" ”

Lin Yuan took it and looked at it, nodding again and again.

These 24 points written by Bao Zheng are to refine several important points in the criminal code of the Song Dynasty, telling how to sentence disputes, murder, robbery, and theft...... Wait a minute.

In the early stage of the territory, it can indeed be used to maintain the rule of the territory and sort out law and order.

Lin Yuan handed this volume of 'Twenty-Four Wants' to Wang Anshi and motioned for him to take a look.

Wang Anshi watched it for a long time and also agreed.

"I think it is feasible, and the criminal code in the future can be increased on this basis!"

"Good!" Lin Yuan immediately agreed, and said to everyone: "From today on, each county will set up a yamen and increase the number of officials, and this matter will be fully entrusted to Bao Zheng." ”

"Humble command!" After Bao Zheng received the order, he retreated directly.

The work of the Household Division, the Industrial Division, and the Criminal Division has all been reported, and new tasks have been issued.

There are also ceremonial priests and officials.

The rite division is Ouyang Xiu's responsibility, Ouyang Xiu's task, or the study of Bailudong Academy, cultivating elites, and selecting talents.

In addition to this, Ouyang Xiu's 'Recruitment of Talents' was also written.

"The king of Chujiang showed the world, and he humbled himself with a thick coin to recruit the virtuous ......"

"Today, there are no virtuous people among the people, and they are brave enough to fight against the enemy; If the civil and vulgar officials are highly talented and heterogeneous, they may be worthy of guarding; In the name of insult, in the act of laughter, or in the unkind and unfilial piety, he has the skill of governing the country and using the army......"

"The Magi have those who are willing to follow me, and I can show them! Announce to the world, so that you know my intentions! ”

A recruitment, cultural rhetoric, extremely hearty meaning.

It not only points out Lin Yuan's thirst for talent, but also shows the meaning of respecting talents, power, glory, wealth, or fame can all be given.
