262 "The Light of Civilization"
Liu Bei set the tone for this matter, and the subordinate officials had nothing to say, so they could only nod their heads in agreement.
However, many local officials had some misgivings about this "collective farm", which was said to have been born out of the policy of the military and the people, especially the statement that the land belonged to the collective and not to the individual, and they were very concerned, but they did not know what to say.
Only a very small number of people have noticed in a short period of time that if land is attributed to the whole and not to the individual, how can individual assets be increased by acquiring land and grabbing it?
At that time, the acquisition and sale of land will need to be carried out under the supervision of the government, and it will need to be registered, and private one-to-one trade will not be recognized, and once the land is purchased in this way to increase assets, how can it hide property and avoid taxes?
This is not a friendly policy for large families who are interested in expanding their personal and family wealth.
However, for the government that wants to expand its tax sources and consolidate its tax base, the benefits are great.
Because of the implementation of such policies, which are clearly promoted for the sake of justice, their doubts can only be buried in their hearts, and they cannot be said, because such considerations themselves are not something that can be spoken.
Later, the Liangzhou government began to register the population controlled by the government in accordance with the basic principles set by Liu Bei.
According to the records of the Han Dynasty, there were regulations on the establishment of households at that time, generally with five families as neighbors, five neighbors as li, four li as clans, five clans as the party, five parties as prefectures, and five prefectures as townships.
In other words, 500 households are the party, 12,500 households are the township, and the words "township" and "party" are used together to refer to the township, that is, the fellow villagers.
However, in terms of practical operation, with the changes of the times and wars, natural disasters, plagues, etc., such a standard household model cannot be implemented, especially in border areas like Liangzhou, where grassroots organizations exist in some places and have been abandoned in some places.
Since it is deserted, then follow my plan.
Liu Bei stipulated that collective farms need to ensure a certain production capacity and the number of people, and when 300 households are taken as a collective farm, as the basic unit, the establishment of neighborhoods and the like should be removed, and the collective farms should be directly connected with the county government management personnel, so as to reduce management costs and improve management efficiency with flat management.
If there is anything to say directly, do it directly, save those boring intermediate links, minimize unnecessary management personnel, and save a lot of dirty things.
Therefore, in accordance with Liu Bei's order, the officials of the Liangzhou Prefecture and the Hanyang County Government made a comprehensive plan for the restoration of agricultural production in the abandoned fields, and the initial rations belonging to the peasants of the collective farms were also allocated by the government on a per capita basis.
Until they harvested the first grain.
Because this group of captives included Han and Hu people, some who had mastered agricultural production technology, some who had not, some who were honest and some who were not honest, so Liu Bei decided to adopt militarized management to establish order in the first collective farm.
He sought out literate and experienced soldiers from his army to serve as "instructors" on collective farms.
He wants to use militarized management methods to let these guys in remote places who are not very willing to obey management feel the "light of civilization" from the Central Plains.
…
In dealing with these people who live under the law of the jungle and are unemployed, they must be ruthless, they must use thunderous means, and they must be severely punished.
As Dong Huang once said, the people of Liangzhou have been sleeping with knives since they were children, it doesn't matter if they can't plow the fields, they can grab food to eat, they can't fight, they will die, the Hu people are like this, and the Han people are the same.
In the face of such a group of people, only the Han army that defeated them and carried a bloody and murderous atmosphere could deter them.
At the same time as intimidating them, it is also necessary to carry out a certain amount of cultural education for them, and the government and the military can let them learn to read and write, learn agricultural production techniques, and from time to time engage in activities such as sending warmth.
After a period of time, these unruly guys got used to the stable days of sunrise and sunset, and the order of the farm was established, and they naturally evolved into "good citizens" who talked about rules and order.
A series of supporting measures were issued, a series of supporting resources were issued, and one after another state officials ran in and out, rushing around in order to implement the will of Liu Bei, the governor of the state.
At the same time that the agricultural production and civil affairs were carried out, Liu Bei also had a comprehensive understanding of the steel smelting and animal husbandry in Liangzhou.
There is nothing to say about steel smelting, basically similar to Youzhou, private operation is allowed, and the government has set up iron officials to collect taxes, but because of the war, steel smelting production has been seriously damaged, so this aspect also needs to invest funds to restore production.
As for animal husbandry, it was mainly in the hands of groups such as the Dahaoqiang, Qiang, and Xiongnu, and there were relatively few state-level animal husbandry facilities left for the Liangzhou government to grasp.
As before, due to poor management and war damage, many animal husbandry industries were destroyed, both the imperial court and the local government, and many of the government-run animal husbandry facilities in Longxi County and Jincheng County were seized by the rebels.
On the contrary, this time the five-county expedition plan captured a lot, especially Zhang Fei and Xiahou Yuan, who together seized more than 100,000 livestock for Liu Bei, including cattle, sheep and horses.
Therefore, Liu Bei is not worried about not having enough livestock to use for the time being, and plans to resume the construction of Liangzhou's own animal husbandry institutions in Liangzhou, raising a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.
Lin Lin finally came down, and Liu Bei sighed a little.
Fortunately, he is not a person who pays attention to personal material enjoyment, but as long as he pays attention to personal material enjoyment, he will not be willing to spend money on Liangzhou to resume production and construction on such a large scale.
Really, destruction is an overnight thing, but it takes a long time and a greater upfront investment to recover, or how to say that people are killed and set on fire to the gold belt, and bridges and paved roads without corpses?
Liangzhou can be regarded as completely destroyed and bad enough, so that Liu Bei wanted to start rectifying it, but found that there were problems everywhere, everywhere where money needed to be thrown, and it was a completely bottomless pit.
Whether the wealth of 400 million yuan he brought can support the initial results of the Liangzhou remediation plan is really to be evaluated.
During that time, Liu Bei didn't think about it, and he soaked with his subordinates every day to calculate, all kinds of calculations, all kinds of speculations, and they all felt that the prospects were not very good.
…
Until one day, Liu Bei overheard someone in his subordinates talking about the fact that the salt in Liangzhou was a little more bitter than the salt eaten in Luoyang, and his body was not very comfortable during this time.
This complaint awakened Liu Bei's memory.
yes, why did I forget about the salt?
In fact, at the earliest time, he realized that the salt he ate was wrong, a little bitter, but at that time, he couldn't afford to eat, so how could he think about salt?
Will deal with the past at once.
Later, when he became rich and developed, he began to care about the problem of salt, and he could spend money to buy some salt with slightly better quality and less bitterness.
After observation, he realized that the salt was boiled or precipitated from salt water with no filtered impurities, and there were many impurities mixed in it, so the taste was bitter.
At that time, he thought about taking advantage of the fact that there was no monopoly policy of salt and iron in the Eastern Han Dynasty to make fine salt and sell it, so as to obtain huge wealth and reach the peak of life.
But he immediately thought of the matter involving salt, if he didn't have some strength and rashly operated, I was afraid that he was making wedding dresses for others...... No, it must be making a wedding dress for someone else.
It's hard to even save your life.
And he was used to eating this kind of salt at that time, so he put the matter on hold for the time being.
After the continuous calculations and drilling, I didn't have the heart to make money at all.
Until now, he has become a heavyweight among the group of people standing at the top of the Han Dynasty, with three blossoms in military politics and academics, military power, and direct contact with the emperor and the eunuch Zhang Rang.
No matter from which point of view, Liu Bei realized that he seemed to have the qualifications to run the salt industry.
And he further thought that just a little west of Jincheng County, there was Qinghai Lake, and there was a large salt pond next to it.
