419. The country of Qi is prosperous

The topics described in the radio resonated with the people, like Niu Er's life at the beginning, as if something happened to him in the distant Wuzhou.

The following description impacted the minds of a large number of people, making them a little unbelievable, and at the same time, they were full of longing for such a beautiful life in Wuzhou in the description.

Is that really the case?

If this is true, then isn't Wuzhou a heaven-like existence?

Many people have doubts in their hearts, but as long as they have this doubt, they will have expectations for Wuzhou in their hearts, and the public opinion work will be considered a good job.

"Attacking the heart is the top, attacking the city is the bottom, the heart is the top, and the soldier is the bottom.

There are two major contradictions in the current situation in the whole world.

One is the contradiction between the entire south and the southward movement of the Daru dynasty in the north; One is the contradiction between the demand for material life and the low level of development of the people in the south, and the contradiction between the oppression of the ruling class.

We must now face up to these contradictions, make use of them, and form a united front with the broadest masses of the people, as well as with the yeoman peasants, the gentry, the gentry, and so on. ”

In Wuzhou, Qifeng County, and the palace, Ren Pingsheng looked at the telegrams sent back by the two armies, and analyzed the current situation in the world with Ruan Tang.

"So, radio is part of the united front?"

Nguyen Sugar asked.

She was still curious about these things.

"It's part of the propaganda, and through the propaganda launch, a united front is finally formed. The will of the people is the foundation of Wuzhou's governance and the source of strength.

With the will of the people, there will be a steady stream of soldiers, food, and wealth, and with a mass foundation, everything will be smooth and everything will be done well. ”

Ren Pingsheng put down the battle report and said with a smile: "The two armies are going well, and the first army has passed through Dancheng County and entered Pingshan Province. The First Army, with the cooperation of the navy, has also taken the three counties in the south of Hegu Province, and now the vanguard has crossed Tushan and entered Sanquan County.

With the cooperation of the militia, the first thing is to make a register and divide the land, and the second thing is to persuade farmers to cultivate, and at the same time, they also have to enlist forced labor to build bridges and roads, but forced labor is also to pay for food, although the number is small, but it can also win the hearts of the people at the same time, and activate the local economy.

Forget the book, you go and ask, has the seeds and fertilizers arranged by the Department of Agriculture and Agriculture? ”

Now this season is the time for spring rice planting.

It is too late to shoot down the places that have not yet been laid, but where they have been beaten, hybrid rice will be cultivated in time and chemical fertilizers will be used to produce more food at that time.

For example, the taxes on the earth may be more modern than in ancient times, and the tax system is more complex than in ancient times, but because of the increase in productivity, people are more tolerant of the burden of taxes.

The same is true here, as long as the grain yield per unit of cultivated land is higher, then even if the grain is collected according to the original proportion, or even if it is harvested more due to the war, it can still ensure that the people live a better life than before.

This is the reason why the increase in productivity is able to solve the vast majority of contradictions.

The Jing Dynasty collected taxes according to this ratio, which was to impose taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the common people would not be able to eat, and if they were hungry, the people would rebel. Ren Pingsheng collects taxes according to this ratio, and the people can eat enough, so they can bear it even more, not only will they not rebel, but they will also praise Prince Qi for being a good prince who loves the people like a son.

After a while, the forgotten book returned.

"Hu Chun, director of the Department of Agricultural Administration, took people to Sanjiang County for field research. Not only are the seeds and fertilizers being transported there by train, but technicians are also being sent to the newly occupied areas. ”

Forgot to report and said.

"Hmm."

Ren Pingsheng nodded: "Director Hu is the most honest, he has worked hard all these years, and he has also taken the lead in his work, he doesn't look like a high-ranking official, but more like an old farmer."

Now not only is the work not left behind, but farming and breeding are also experts, and they know better than those technicians. ”

Over the years, there have not been many words about this, but the work has never been left behind, and the director of the Department of Agricultural Administration, who has taken care of Wuzhou's agricultural work in an orderly manner, Ren Pingsheng is very satisfied.

The reason why Sanjiang County is called Sanjiang County is because there are Wenchang River across nine provinces, Anlan River from Anlan County, and Huajiang River from Huagu County, three water systems flow through here, and all of them are merged into Wenchang River here.

It has unique water conservancy conditions, and it is also a large area of fertile plains, which is a real land of fish and rice!

And in such a unique land of fish and rice, the people can't eat enough!

This is because in addition to the heavy taxes of the imperial court, local officials also took the opportunity to raise taxes under various names, and forced the people to sell their sons and daughters, sell their fields and sell themselves, and became long-term workers and tenants in the gentry's families.

Later, it was occupied by the Beiwan Group, and it didn't get any good.

Although the rule of Northern Anhui here is weak, it is ruled by the army, and it does not hold the idea of long-term stability, so it is naturally desperately squeezed, that is, the gentry and old men who were originally living more comfortably under the imperial court system have suffered greatly!

Sanjiang County is adjacent to Huanhua County, and some people have relatives in Huanhua County, seeing that the people of Huanhua County are living more and more prosperously, they are anxious in their eyes, envious in their hearts, and looking forward to their mouths, so they are looking forward to the prince of Qi in Wuzhou to send troops to fight soon.

As you can see today, Prince Qi finally showed kindness and sent heavenly soldiers to fight over!

"Looking forward to it, my old cow has finally turned over and become a member of Qi!"

Lao Niu's feet were stuck in the mud, and his black and thin figure made him look like an old man in his fifties.

But in fact, although he calls himself an old cow, he is actually less than thirty.

"What Qi people? I heard that Prince Qi has not yet ascended the throne. ”

Someone next to him said.

"Sooner or later, if Prince Qi can't do it, then no one will be able to do this big scene!"

The old cow happily watched his distribution to the paddy field, and his heart was very happy.

"Don't be beautiful, this land will be planted this year, the new young county master said that he will have to transfer the land next year."

An old man next to him, who was also thin and thin, with a turban wrapped around his head, wiped the sweat from his face and said.

The April day in Sanjiang County already makes people feel hot.

"Why? Who do you listen to? ”

When the old cow heard this, he shook his head and stared at the old man and said.

The old man was originally an old master in the village, and he was once a child, and everyone still believed in his words.

The old man sat down on the side of the road and said, "I heard from a former student that he is now working as an errand boy in the yamen.

It is said that this year, in order to plant rice, the land was divided in a hurry. Next year, it will be readjusted according to the population of the family and the fertility of the allocated land, but the county lord said that it will not be adjusted, and will only be fine-tuned according to the opinions put forward by each village and household, according to the provincial government documents and land division practices. ”

"That's good."

Lao Niu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "The county lord is fair." ”

While chatting, Lao Niu looked up and suddenly saw a few people not far away.

The leader was an old man, wearing a short sweatshirt, and he looked like he was plowing the fields.

However, there are two young people behind this old man, although they are also dressed in short fights that are convenient for work, but there is an inexplicable momentum on their bodies, they look very difficult to mess with, and their skin is much fairer than that of the peasant family!

When these two people walk together, it feels a little weird.

"Brother, how do you feel about this seedling this year?"

As soon as the old cow and the old man met their eyes, the old man walked towards him, and asked the old cow as he walked.

Seeing a child on the side of the road, he smiled and grabbed a few pieces of candy from his pocket, and a child divided a soybean-sized amount of maltose.

Suddenly, the old man became a good man in the eyes of several children.

The villagers also quickly let down their guard against the old man and began to talk with a smile.

"Not yet thirty? That little brother Niu is old, and I am in my early fifties this year. ”

After chatting a few words and knowing the real age of the old cow, the old man said with a smile. He looked at the old man with a turban wrapped around his head again: "Listening to my brother's talk, it's not like an ordinary person, he should have read a book, right?" ”

When the old man heard this, he immediately became overjoyed: "I won't tell you, old man, I used to be a child and opened a private school in the village, but then the court was in chaos, the imperial examinations were intermittent, and there were fewer and fewer children studying in the village, so my private school was dispersed." ”

"I see, now that the prince of Qi rules here, everyone will definitely be able to live a good life in the future.

If a primary school is built in the town, the old brother will not be able to use his spare heat to teach the children to start reading. ”

The old man laughed.

"It would be great if it could be like that!"

When the old man heard this, he was even more smiling.

"Brother, Brother Niu, folks, what do you think of this seedling this year?"

He brought the conversation back to where it had been, and asked everyone.

This time, everyone was very cooperative.

"This seedling looks a little more slender than the previous seedling."

"This is all recommended by the government, and the county lord has guaranteed that if these seedlings do not grow well, they will reduce our taxes."

"I don't know if this seedling is good or not, everyone says it's good, and I'm like this."

"But I know that I have relatives in Huanhua County, and they planted this kind of rice last summer, and with the cost, there can be thousands of catties per acre, which is three or four times more than our own seedlings!

The seedlings that the government lent us are the kind that Huanhua County is growing now. It is said to be called hybrid rice. ”

A young man said to the old man.

"Hmm."

The old man listened to the words and nodded again and again.

This side is close to Huanhua County, and the promotion of hybrid rice is more convenient.

However, it is much easier to promote seedlings in the name of the government and still produce seedlings than to promote seeds.

After chatting with the people in the village for a while, and understanding some of their demands, the old man began to explain to the villagers some things that should be paid attention to when planting hybrid rice, explaining how to use chemical fertilizer, when to weed, how to weed, what kind of weed, when to fertilize, what kind of fertilizer to apply, how to make organic fertilizer and so on.

The villagers are all farming, this is what they eat, at this time I heard the old man's explanation, from the beginning of the questioning, to the slow sudden, all of them felt that this old man was indeed a very powerful old man.

"Okay, it's taken you so long to delay your rice planting. If you don't understand anything, you can go to the county government to ask, and there are technicians in the county government, who are to guide farming.

I still have to hurry, old man, so I'll go first. ”

The old man stood up and patted the loess on his buttocks.

"Brother, drink some water and then go."

"That's right, brother, I have a melon here, it's very sweet, you quench your thirst on the way."

The villagers said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, thank you."

The old man threw his hand towards the villagers, but finally refused, took a few melons and continued on the road.

The villagers continued to plant rice while communicating.

After a while, when it was almost time for dinner, a young man in a robe at the head came in a hurry with a dozen officials.

When he came to the ground, he wiped his sweat and shouted to the villagers in the field: "Fellow, has anyone ever seen an old man in his early sixties, with half-black and half-white hair and dark skin?" ”

The villagers looked at each other.

The old man wearing a turban suddenly saw a familiar face behind the young man, and the face also recognized the old man, and hurriedly introduced: "This is Lord Li, the magistrate of our Yuanhe County!" ”

At this moment, the villagers stood in the ground, kneeling or not, all of them looked frightened, and they didn't know what to do.

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, don't come up, don't delay you planting seedlings."

Li Zhixian asked anxiously.

"I've seen it, when we planted rice today, there was an old man who came to chat with us for a long time, and guided us to farm, like a cultured person!"

The old man in the turban said.

"Oh, it's not just cultured, when did Master Hu come? Are you gone? ”

Li Zhixian asked again and again.

"Gone, came at noon, left at sunset in the afternoon."

The old man replied, seeing the county lord's attitude towards the plain-looking old man, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, who is that adult?" ”

"Who? That's the director of our Wuzhou Agricultural Department! ”

Li Zhixian looked at the sky, at sunset, it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, and now he is chasing after him, he must have gone far, maybe he has already gone out of Sanjiang County.

"Department of Agriculture?"

The old man scratched his head.

"One of the Nine Divisions, in Wuzhou is one of the most powerful official positions except for the prince, which is equivalent to the six Shangshu of the Jing Dynasty!"

Since he can't catch up, Li Zhixian is not in a hurry. Anyway, people came down to investigate, and they probably didn't want to be sent there.

I just want to give the county the opportunity to apply for a few water conservancy projects, but I'm afraid I won't be able to meet it.

After talking to the villagers, Li Zhixian went back the same way.

But Lao Niu and the others felt deeply shocked.

"That old man, is a character like Shangshu!?"

"O heavenly figures!"

"That kind of character has been talking to us for more than an hour, right?"

"OMG!!"

"My old man was able to talk to Shangshu for so long one day, and he still called me brother, oops!!"

The old man thumped his chest.

"What are you crying about?"

Lao Niu asked.

"Such a celestial official can talk to us like this, talk for so long, and there is no arrogance at all. It really takes us seriously!

That Jing Dynasty deserves to die, the Qi country should be prosperous, the Qi country should be prosperous! ”

The old man said excitedly.

I just stayed up late to finish the code, no, I went to sleep, I have to maintain my health, I can't stay up late like this.

If there is a typo, please point it out and correct it during the day tomorrow. ( ̄o ̄). z Z
