Chapter Ninety-Five: Political Achievements
"Crackle!" The fish were thrown on the snow, jumping endlessly.
The people who were digging the river saw it and were all amazed: what a big fish!
"The bream is wide and thin, crispy, sweet and less meaty, with fine scales, and the beauty of the fish." Someone shook his head and read a paragraph.
Everyone laughed, and was reduced to digging the river with them, so put away the shelf of the reader.
The scholar didn't talk much to them, only immersed in his own emotions, and continued: "In the past, when I traveled to Henan, I knew that the price of Luo carp and Yi bream was better than that of cattle and sheep, which is a good thing. ”
The crowd burst into laughter.
What's so good about fish? It's far less hungry than beef and mutton, this person is really stupid to read.
"Don't make a noise." A loud voice came from not far away.
Everyone was immediately silenced, standing in the cold and biting muddy water, struggling to clear the dredging, dredging hard, and slowly transforming the pool.
This is Nanton, the original county of Runan, and now the county of Nanton.
Although there are only four counties in the county, the population is very large, and the main source is Hebei immigrants, that is, the people of Hebei counties brought back by Le Mo from Dunqiu, and arrived at the autumn harvest in the fourth year of Yongjia (310), and it has been more than two years.
Their arrival, to put it mildly, almost made Nanton "replant", and the population swelled to about 20,000 households and 80,000 people.
In the fifth year of Yongjia, the people of Nandun, Ruyang, Shangcai, and Pingyu counties planted a season of millet. Although they used the cooked land abandoned after the Eight Kings Rebellion and Li Hong's Rebellion, the harvest was still not good, barely enough for them to eat, and they still couldn't eat enough.
This year, the people of the four counties planted another season of millet, and the harvest has increased significantly, and life is much better.
After the autumn harvest, some people planted winter wheat and some planted turnips, and their lives were getting on the right track.
Taishou Wei Jun has always adhered to the will of Lu Zhi and the shogunate, and took advantage of the opportunity of the great rule after the chaos to clean up the household registration, persuade the nongsang, and roughly transform the four counties of Nanton.
If a bumper harvest is obtained next year, the people's will will be completely stabilized, and the four counties of Nanton will also become the second in Chen County.
Similarly, in the new Cai state southeast of Nanton, Nei Shi Lemo first cleared the land and Zhuang guests of the new Cai king, and then accepted thousands of families brought back by Yu Chen from Ji County, and then absorbed a small number of displaced people from Hanoi, Guanxi and Yanzhou, with about 10,000 households and 40,000 people.
When Shao Xun set the major policy in his early years, he focused on Chenjun as the key business direction, followed by Nanton and Xincai, which were the second batch of key business areas.
Now that Nanton is on the right track, Xincai is a little slower, but in another two years, it can also stabilize.
The thirteen counties of Chen, Nanton, and Xincai have a large number of immigrants in battalions and teams, and a large number of Tuntian troops, they are the people who belong to the government alone, and are not controlled by the nobles, and they are the power that Shao Xun can call, and there is no need to bargain with the family - to put it bluntly, this is the most stable foundation of a warlord.
The clansmen, the marshals of the docks, and the lords of the manors support you, and contribute money and food, which can certainly make a warlord rise in an instant, but when they withdraw their capital, you will fall badly, because you do not have a tax base that directly belongs to you: the yeoman farmer.
You can never go wrong with walking on two legs.
The busy digging of the river continued until noon.
Servants lined up to receive their meals.
Chen Gongrende, the army also provides food, which is really good, although not every time he takes care of the meal.
Moreover, these ponds are also good for them, which are conducive to irrigating farmland and increasing the yield per mu, and there is no shortage of enthusiasm for work.
While everyone was eating, Taishou Wei Jun also came to the river control site.
He didn't come alone, but he also brought the county officials and the Nanton prefectural order, and at this time, he was the leader, and they gathered behind Yu Liang, who joined the shogunate army.
The shogunate was a military-oriented institution, and the officials also had a strong military color.
As a member of the army, Yu Liang was in charge of the three major blocks of Cangcao, Hucao, and Thief Cao, and had direct business contacts with county officials.
Theoretically, he really can't directly manage local governance, which is the authority of officials at the state and county levels, but in practice, he will go to the local government to count the household registration, order the county officials to arrest thieves, supervise lawsuits, supervise warehouses - and even large grain depots such as Nantoncang are under his direct control, and the local government is only assisting.
Over time, the shogunate officials gradually overrode the local officials and turned them into subordinates, so Nanton Taishou Wei Jun was very cooperative and answered all questions.
"I heard that since the Han Dynasty, there are more than 90 years in Runan, how many are there in Nanton?" Yu Liang walked on the embankment in high spirits and asked.
"Now there is one." Wei Jun replied: "This is called 'Xishu', there was it in the Han Dynasty, Cao Wei continued to repair, the dynasty has neglected, and now it is rebuilt, and more than 2,700 hectares of irrigated fields can be irrigated. ”
"Where's Ge Pi?"
"Between Xin Cai and Pingyu."
There was one in the Han Dynasty before Ge Pi, and it was a relatively large artificial reservoir with "dozens of miles in Pi Fang".
Because of its importance, the Han Dynasty and the Wei and Jin dynasties repaired it from time to time, and it still plays a huge role today.
Historically, Shile suffered a great loss at Gepi, and the sergeants fell ill and died in large numbers, and then had to return.

When they came, Yuzhou Wubao also received grain and grass, but after hearing that they were defeated by the Jiangdong Naval Division led by Ji Zhan in the north of Shouchun, they suddenly turned their faces, the walls were clear, and they did not give grain and grass, so that Shile's 90,000 foot cavalry lost most of them, and on the way back to the north, "cannibalism", and finally succeeded in returning to Hebei only 20,000 or 30,000 people, which was much worse than the strength of Shile in this time and space.
Shao Xun occupied Yuzhou, and didn't let Shile break through Henan and drink the Yangtze River, which was still a good thing for him, at least he didn't have to let half of his main army be wiped out by the epidemic, and lose the remaining half on the way back to the division.
"Runan, Xincai, and Nanton are ninety years old, Chen Gong didn't mention anything else, but he mentioned Ge Pi." Yu Liang glanced at Wei Jun and said, "The prince of the mansion should know the weight." ”
"I don't know." Wei Jun's heart sank, and he secretly wrote down Ge Pi's name.
Because it is located at the junction of Xincai and Pingyu, it is more complicated, and at the same time, this Pichi can barely be used, so he didn't care. Now it seems that we have to discuss with Xin Cai Nei Slemo and repair it before the spring sowing next year.
Yu Liang looked at Wei Jun's respectful attitude, and his heart was relieved.
Once you have the power, you will carry out the order, which is really wonderful.
However, after being trained by Shao Xun for a long time, he now has more experience in general affairs, and asked: "The consumption of water control is very large, is there enough food?" ”
"Not enough." Wei Jun told the truth.
The difference is that after the completion of the water conservancy project, the lower field and the middle field can be turned into upper field, and even more cultivated land can be opened up to increase the overall grain output, but fighting a war does not necessarily have so many benefits.
Nanton was stable for two years, and the government and the people finally had a certain amount of savings, so they could levy and issue prisoners to repair Pichi. But this kind of savings is not unlimited, and in general, it is still within one's means.
"Repair Xishupi and Gepi first." Yu Liang glanced at Wei Jun dissatisfiedly and said, "If this doesn't work, I will report to Chen Gong and ask him to decide." ”
Wei Jun was annoyed when he heard this, but he didn't dare to attack, so he could only say yes.
It stands to reason that he followed Yang Bao's path, was able to meet Chen Gong, and after some tests, he was appointed as the Taishou of Nanton.
He is actually Chen Gong's person.
But how to say it, can Yu Liang be offended? Absolutely not!
Don't talk about anything else, as soon as Mrs. Yu's pillow is blown by the wind, no amount of credit is gone, and you still have to bow your head.
In addition, dredging the river and repairing the Pichi pond were the major plans set by Chen Gong.
Yu Liang joined the army again in charge of Cangcao, holding chicken feathers as arrows and inspecting the counties, what he said, he really couldn't object.
Mother, since you said so, I don't care.
When the time comes, the people's grievances will boil and even cause a civil uprising, don't plant it all on my head.
Yu Yuangui is impatient and careless, so happy, but so, but so, hehe.
Yu Liang naturally didn't know what Wei Jun was thinking, he continued to walk along the river embankment, thinking about what Chen Bus had done.
At present, most of the water control projects are located in Chenjun, Nanton, Xincai and Runan.
The first three are easy to understand, and Runan is intriguing.
It can basically be judged that Chen Gong is most concerned and trusts the western half of Yuzhou.
Runan is surrounded by Xiangcheng, Yingchuan, Nanton, and Xincai, and if it is not in its hands, it is really an eyesore.
However, Runan has been very rich since the Han Dynasty, and it would be a pity not to make good use of it - in the Han Dynasty, Runan County was very large, with as many as 37 counties, which is not the same concept as Runan Kingdom, which has only 11 counties today.
Period, Sipi, Qingpi, Hongxipi, Gepi, Haiyangpi, Shitangpi, etc., there are dozens of ponds in total, less irrigation 300 hectares, more can irrigate 30,000 hectares (Haiyangpi) fertile land - Rushui is the most dense on both sides of the river, there are 37 ponds.
Since the Han Dynasty, Runan has even diverted water to irrigate farmland, rivers and lakes are vertical and horizontal, and more pond water is stored, which is almost comparable to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
Located in the territory of today's Ruyin, Fupi County (abandoned), "Duopi Pond to irrigate rice, so it is called Fupi County".
During the Han Dynasty, the rice fields in Runan were very dense.
Yu Liang flipped through the classics and learned that "japonica rice was planted in March and rice was planted in April" in the southern part of Runan, and compared with the mu harvest of corn, "five times as high as the field and ten times as high as the field" -- this is an inherent exaggeration, but it is an indisputable fact that the yield of rice is higher than that of wheat and higher than that of corn.
It's a pity that the war has been in turmoil since the end of the Han Dynasty, and it has been more than a hundred years.
Despite the efforts of Cao Wei and the Kuo Dynasty to repair Pichi, the local irrigation canal system inevitably decayed, so much so that the once famous county of Fupi (which is analogous to the county's many reservoirs) was abandoned.
With the current strength of the Xuchang shogunate, of course, it is impossible to restore the Pichi irrigation canal system in the Han Dynasty, and it is not even possible to reach the level of the Taikang period in this dynasty, but as long as it is repaired and utilized, the grain output will increase steadily.
Yongjia will have continuous disasters for three or four years, and there will be no conditions. Five years are in the recovery period, and six years have recovered a lot, but you can do it with your hands.
Yu Liang keenly felt the huge opportunity, so he took the initiative to ask Ying to take this matter as the main work in the next five or ten years. But after seeing the slow actions of the local counties, he was still a little anxious, so he threatened and urged.
If he wants political achievements, he naturally has to work hard.
