"Xie Aiqing, you also know that Donghai County is in dire need of recovery at a time when everything is in ruins. At the moment, I can only suffer the squires from all over the country, and this infamy will be borne by Lonely. ”

"That's it......"

Xie An shook his head and said: "Since the minister is the Dazai of the Qianguo, this matter should be led by Weichen and share the worries of the monarch." However, the families have suffered such a big loss, if they don't give them some compensation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm down the turmoil in a short time. Therefore, Weichen suggested that from today, Donghai County will be exempted from taxation for three years. ”

"Anshi is worthy of being the pillar of the country, and he really understands the righteousness, so he will follow Aiqing's meaning!"

"The monarch has praised it." Xie An smiled helplessly.

And Zhang Shuo also changed his cold face and said gently: "In addition to forming government soldiers and farms, and reducing the land rent of the wealthy family, the people everywhere must also step up their organization and mobilization. From today onwards, all towns and towns must inspect the farmland of the villages and towns under their jurisdiction twice a week, and the chief officials of each county must inspect the towns under their jurisdiction once a week.

Wang Anguo, director of the Department of Agriculture, inspects Donghai County at least once a month to supervise and publicize in various parts of Qianguo and enhance the enthusiasm of the people everywhere!

Where there is any slackness, so that the countryside is barren, and the cultivation cannot be completed within the prescribed time. From the entire agricultural department to the head of the village under his jurisdiction, he must be punished with a demerit.

Those who embezzle other people's fields or divert them for other purposes without the permission of the government are guilty of the same crime (such as planting mulberry and hemp). The farm is punishable by one to twenty years of hard labor. On the contrary, the top five people in each county should be rewarded. During this period, if there is any fraud, the director of the Department of Agriculture will be directly questioned. ”

Xie An nodded, "In that case, you might as well implement the law of protecting the cultivated cattle on this basis." Whoever slaughters an ox shall be punished with two years' imprisonment. Whoever eats cattle is considered an accomplice and is punished with a penalty of two years. Those who slaughter more than three oxen are regarded as having no royal law and contempt for royal power, and are directly executed. ”

Speaking of this, Xie settled for a moment and continued: "If the ploughing ox dies of old age and illness, and the person who does not intend to slaughter the ploughing ox, it can be reported to the local government and investigated by the county-level officials, and if the circumstances are true, he will not be guilty." However, the cowhide and tendon that can be used to make war boots, armor, bridles, and bowstrings must be handed over to the government. ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Shuo nodded, he had a preliminary understanding of the current agriculture, and he naturally knew the importance of ploughing cattle. After a heated discussion between the two, they summed up the law of cultivating cattle to protect the cattle, the law of protecting the fields, and the law of persuading farmers to develop production.

The cattle farming method mainly tells that cattle are the foundation of farming, a good helper for the people to cultivate, and a strong pillar of the country. No one is allowed to intentionally kill or injure a ploughing cow. It is also required that all private cattle must be registered with the mayor of the town. The purchase and sale of cattle must be approved by the government to prevent the cattle from being displaced to other places.

The law of preservationa emphasizes that all fields should not be left idle. It is required that all the fields allocated to the military camps, farms, and all families and commoners in the name of the country must be cultivated within the specified time, and if the imperial court finds that there are barren fields, the owner of the fields will be fined. If the circumstances are serious, at the same time as the fine, the sentence will be even more severe!

The second is that the field cannot be used for other purposes. In other words, without a document issued by the Division, the field can only be used to grow food, if a building is built on the field, or if cash crops such as mulberry and hemp are grown. If it affects the plan formulated by the degree branch department, then not only will they face a high fine, but they will also be assigned to the farm to be punished with hard labor for one to twenty years. It depends on the area of the encroached field!

"So that's it for now?" After finalizing the cattle cultivation method and the field protection method with Zhang Shuo, Xie An asked with a tired face.

And Zhang Shuo also nodded: "The edict will be issued in a while." And one last thing, after thinking about it, I decided to establish the Agricultural Bank of China. Specializing in gold, silver, money and grain storage. At the same time, he is responsible for lending and leasing farm tools, rice seeds, and livestock to the people. And when they were in trouble, the cashier gave them low-interest loans to suppress the usury of the people. ”

"ABC?"

Even a top strategist and politician like Xie An often can't keep up with the train of thought in the face of Zhang Shuo's endless new words and new systems. However, from the functions that Zhang Shuo said, Xie An also roughly understood what Zhang Shuo meant.

This so-called Agricultural Bank of China should be a bank similar to that in other people's mouths. Responsible for depositing and withdrawing borrowed money, and remitting gold and silver to circulation throughout the country. A terrorist unit that has a vague grip on a country's financial flows.

For Zhang Shuo, who is a stranger, this kind of department will be set up, which is not unexpected by Xie An. It's just that the latter situation of lending grain money to the people makes Xie An unclear.

"Is the monarch going to use Jiefu's Seedlings Law?"

In this life, Xie Annai is Wang Anshi's uncle, and the two often drink and talk together on weekdays. Naturally, I know a lot of whimsical ideas in each other's minds.

However, in Xie An's eyes, there are many loopholes and flaws in Wang Anshi's "green seedling method". For example, in order to implement the Seedlings Law, local officials will ignore the wishes of the people themselves and forcibly give loans to the people.

Or by delaying deadlines for personal gain, so that many poor people are unable to repay their debts when due, so that lenders can force them to go into debt.

Seeing Xie An frowning, Zhang Shuo also understood his worries. The evaluation and analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the Seedlings Method has always been a hot topic among modern historians. Regarding the analysis of this aspect, Zhang Shuo has a bunch of them in his hands.

As far as the organizational functions that can be displayed by the officials of the Qianguo at present, the system of standing liquidation in the Tang Dynasty is more suitable. However, at present, the country has no money and no grain, and once there is a problem with grain prices, it will simply not be able to undertake the heavy task of stabilizing prices.

Therefore, Zhang Shuo can only implement the green seedling law based on money and borrowing first. However, after learning the lessons of the historical Seedlings Method. He also made certain adjustments, such as the establishment of the Agricultural Bank of China, which replaced the local government as the target of the implementation of the Seedlings Law.

The 10 households were used as a bundled loan for one guarantee, and the household registration certificate of Qianguo was changed. Once the other party is unable to pay the debt, the debtor can work as a worker to repay the debt in the major projects carried out in the Qianguo.

If it is a direct escape or a deliberate default. then they were relegated to the farm, punished with hard labor, and so on. Although I dare not say that there is no flaw. However, it is no problem to try it out only in the first county of Donghai County.

At that moment, Zhang Shuo explained his thoughts and considerations to Xie An in detail. It's just that after Xie An heard it, he still looked worried.

"Although the monarch implemented this law with the Agricultural Bank of China and tried his best to improve many of its shortcomings, even so, the risk is still not small."
