In this regard, Li Qiao is very tolerant, children, it is inevitable to be confused, and he is willing to give these children the opportunity to re-elect.

But this time he must study hard, if he is not attentive and does not pay attention, then he will be persuaded to quit.

Although he has money, he doesn't want to be a wronged person to support a waster.

The branch of the medical center enrolls a total of 300 students, free of restraint, including food and accommodation, but no monthly payment.

He spends his money in many places, and he will spend his money on the edge of his knife in the future.

After the Lantern Festival, the branch of the medical hall opened, and the officials' annual leave was over, and it was time to go to work.

The weather is still quite cold, and it seems to be no different from the wax moon, and the water surface in the river pond is still frozen every day.

This is not normal.

According to Sheng Hong's original plan, the temperature rose after the Lantern Festival, and the small rivers and ponds crisscrossing outside Shengjing City were opened to water, so he wanted to lead the hundred officials to the fields to watch the beautiful scenery of the keel waterwheel irrigating the farmland together.

But now such a small wish can't be realized.

For several days, he held the map of the entire Dasheng and studied it carefully, and from time to time he called Langzhong, the head of the twelve departments of the household department, to the palace to talk.

After talking with Langzhong, the director of the Twelfth Department, he talked with a few scholars.

After talking with the courtiers, he summoned a few old princes and marquis to come over and talk to them.

The days slipped away day by day, and soon the first month came out.

In the second month of the lunar calendar, the temperature has risen a little, but it is not high, it is still cold, and you have to wear cotton clothes.

However, the phenomenon of freezing on the water surface was less, and the irrigation project carried out by the Seven Princes was finally completely completed, so in mid-February, Sheng Hong led hundreds of officials out of the city to see the farmers irrigate the farmland.

By the river, next to the pond, there are keel waterwheels everywhere, and more than half of the fields outside Shengjing City can be irrigated with keel waterwheels.

On a sunny day, green seedlings, and gurgling water, even if there is still a small cold breeze blowing on his face, Sheng Hong's face is finally better.

The next day, after the early dynasty, Sheng Hong did not summon the ministers to discuss the matter, nor did he deal with the recitals that Li Qiao sorted out and needed to be reviewed by him personally.

He flipped out Dasheng's map again, studied it for about half an hour, and then he looked at the screen on the side: "Li Aiqing." ”

"Wechen is here." Li Qiao hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and walked out from behind the screen.

"Looking at the temperature this year, it seems that something is not good."

Sheng Hong sighed as he spoke, and gently tapped his fingers twice on the map on the imperial case; "Do you think it's necessary for me to organize people to work in the fields?"

Relying only on Li Aiqing's strength, it is too limited.

No more chances.

It's his turn as the king of a kingdom to make a move.

Chapter 222: Tuntian Sheng Hong's new policy

"This ......"

Li Qiao was taken aback, and her eyes widened a little.

It's a bit sudden.

Good and decent - at least in the eyes of the world, this world is good, although the north is relatively cold in the past few years, grain production has decreased, but the people are still living their lives.

If he hadn't read Gao Zhiyuan's booklet, he would have thought that this world was very good.

"Holy Lord, why did you decide this?" He asked, puzzled.

When Sheng Hong heard this, he sighed again, and slowly got up with his hands on the imperial case, frowning: "I had a nightmare before, do you remember?" ”

"Yes." Li Qiao nodded hurriedly.

"Looking at the situation this year, it's kind of similar to that nightmare. Moreover, food is the foundation of a country, and it is always good to produce more food. ”

Sheng Hong explained.

"I see."

Li Qiao was stunned.

Sheng Hong is still thinking about that nightmare......

is very far-sighted and prepared for danger in times of peace, no wonder Dasheng was able to survive in his last life.

He frowned slightly, looking pensive, After a moment, he asked, "Then where are you going to Tuntian?" ”

At present, there are still a lot of wasteland belonging to the imperial court in Dasheng, but most of them are scattered, there are dozens of acres and hundreds of acres here, there are more than a dozen acres and dozens of acres, and there are very few hundreds of acres or thousands of acres connected by the whole area.

Tuntian, as the name suggests, is to call on a large number of people to gather in a certain place to farm.

Throughout Dasheng, there is no province with such a large scale of wasteland, except for small-scale tuntian.

Dasheng was established for decades, and there were restrictions on the purchase of land by ordinary people, but there was no restriction on the purchase of land by nobles.

For example, the Xin family has nearly 500,000 acres of cultivated land in Huaidong Prefecture.

Most of the fields in other places were also occupied by nobles and wealthy people.

If Sheng Hong wanted to Tuntian, he really couldn't remember where it was suitable for a while.

"At present, let's go to Liangguang, Sichuan Province, and Yunnan Province."

Sheng Hong stood in front of the imperial case, and he clicked on the Dasheng map on the table: "The north is cold, and if you want to be in Tuntian, you must choose the southern province." ”

"Jiangnan is rich, not to mention the wasteland of the imperial court, and even many people have lost their fields and become tenant farmers of the rich and noble."

"The other provinces in the south don't have much arable land, and the provinces where I can make up a large piece of wasteland after carefully picking it up are these four provinces."

When Li Qiao heard this, he quickly pulled out the cultivated land information of these four provinces in his mind, Sichuan Province is mainly because of its geographical location, so even if it has the reputation of the country of abundance, the rich and noble will not squeeze over there.

And Liangguang and Yunnan provinces, which are called Lingnan at this time, are far less developed than in his previous life, so the rich and noble people did not gather there.

There are few powerful nobles and rich people, so there are indeed more wastelands belonging to the imperial court in these four provinces than in other provinces in the south.

"These four provinces are indeed good, but where does the labor come from?" Li Qiao asked again.

Generally speaking, when the new dynasty was established, there would be a lot of displaced people, and these displaced people would be recruited to farm, and the imperial court would obtain grain, and the displaced people would have a fixed residence.

But at this time, Dasheng has been established for decades.

And in recent years, there have been no natural disasters big enough to make ordinary people abandon their homes and become homeless.

Now that Dasheng's labor force is performing its own duties, where can Sheng Hong find labor to farm?

"You asked this question well, I can't make up my mind for a while, you help me think about how to solve the problem of labor."

Sheng Hong still looked worried, and every word he said seemed to be as heavy as a stone, and he stretched out his hand and nodded at Li Qiao: "Li Aiqing, do you have any good ideas?" ”

Li Qiao: "......"

His eyebrows were furrowed, and he also looked bitter and hateful.

"Holy Lord, the land you rewarded Wechen, Wechen asked the local government to help, and soon found enough tenant farmers and long-term workers. The reason for this is that we often reduce or reduce rent, and secondly, because we try to solve the irrigation problem as much as possible. ”

"The third is that the wages of Weichen to long-term workers are slightly higher than the average local wages."

Just like Wang Xiuying at the beginning, Wang Xiuying was a strong laborer, when she was working in the banker, she encountered a wheat harvest and autumn harvest that was 30 wen a day, and Wang Xiuying couldn't get this number in normal times, only 20 wen a day.

As for the slack period in winter, it is 100 wen a month, which is only more than 3 wen a day.

But he hired people to work, whether they were busy with the farm, whether they were doing heavy work or light work, and they fixed a daily salary of thirty wages.

Additional meal supplements are also provided.

If it is a skilled worker, the salary will be a few pennies higher.

As a result, people from nearby villages, including the entire Pingcheng, were willing to come to his house to work as long-term laborers, or simply to farm his family's fields.

In fact, it is very easy for him to offend people, and he uses high wages to pull all the laborers into his family's fields, and the people around him employ tenant farmers and long-term laborers to compete with him, and they must be dissatisfied with him in their hearts.

That is, he rose too fast, first there was a royal pen plaque rewarded by Sheng Hong, and then he broke through the six imperial examinations in a row, and he became a member of the third grade at a young age, otherwise, someone would definitely make him stumble on him.

Sheng Hong must have concerns in this regard, otherwise he wouldn't have called a few old princes and Hou Ye some time ago.

If you want to say who has the most tenant farmers in Dasheng, it must be these top nobles.

If Sheng Hong wants to make a big deal out of Tuntian, it is to compete with these people for labor.

Of course, Sheng Hong has the absolute right to speak in Dasheng, and the most arrogant British Duke has been cleaned up, and now Sheng Hong has no thorns in front of him.

Even if those nobles were dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't dare to show it on their faces.

If you can let the tenant farmers go to reclaim the wasteland, Sheng Hong must have something to come up with, otherwise why would the tenant farmers give up everything they have and run to open up the wasteland?

Tuntian is to concentrate the strong labor, only cultivate the land every day, and stay away from the town, this kind of life is relatively hard.

Unless Sheng Hong forces people to go to open up the wasteland, otherwise, Sheng Hong must come up with good benefits, so as to attract people to come over.

The treasury can't pay this benefit, so Sheng Hong can only pay it himself.

Now Sheng Hong asked him, did he want him to give some silver?

He was willing to give money for Tuntian.

was about to speak, but Sheng Hong opened his mouth: "It seems that Li Aiqing has no clever plan, and when it comes to it, you still have to rely on silver." ”

"Forget it, I will follow the measures of the previous dynasties and dynasties, pull the criminals out of the prison to farm, and recruit farmers from all over the world."

"I will think about the specific policies again."

"Holy Lord, it is not a trivial matter in Tuntian in the four provinces, and if you send criminals over, you have to send soldiers to guard it. To recruit tenant farmers, you must give some sweetness, and the treasury can't support this sweetness, and Wechen is willing to donate some silver. ”

Li Qiao immediately said.

"Li Aiqing, I am very pleased that you have this heart, but your expenses are huge, so the silver in Tuntian will come from my private treasury, if the private treasury can't support it, then I will raise donations publicly."

Sheng Hong shook his head slightly and rejected Li Qiao's proposal.

How can you catch a sheep all day long?

Li Aiqing was willing to donate, but he was embarrassed to accept it.

Speaking of which, Dasheng's current group of nobles has made a lot of contributions to the establishment of Dasheng in the process of establishment.

But now that Dasheng has been plagued by natural disasters, it is time for these nobles to bleed.
