"Poof... Burst...... Puff ......"

"Good, good! Tell them they can! ”

In May, with the sound of surprise, the vast Hetao area also ushered in the footsteps of industry.

Hetao, which refers to the Yellow River between Shaanxi and Shanxi, and its surrounding basins.

In the Han Dynasty, it was a grassland with abundant water and grass, and it was a natural and high-quality horse farm.

Unfortunately, with the passage of time, from the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the flooding of the Yellow River and the decreasing global temperature began to shift eastward, and this land gradually became a place unfavorable to agriculture.

During the more than 300 years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Song Liaojin and the Western Xia, this place was unmaintained, resulting in the excessive flooding of the Yellow River, and even the land was rushing towards salinization.

Most of the officials were unable to resist their methods, which is why the local officials were so corrupt.

Sitting on the chair of the Chunhe Palace, Zhu Gaoxu, who is as stable as Mount Tai all the year round, couldn't help but tremble his hands when he heard the number of "one thousand".

The two looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

Zhang Bo told the situation sorted out in the four days, and Gao Guan Wenyan also suggested: "I suggest using the promotion of new crops as a breakthrough to make them relax their vigilance." ”

No matter which dynasty or generation, ability plus relationship is excellent.

Today, 50 pumps are in place, pumping groundwater and irrigating the moderately and strongly saline land through canals.

However, contrary to their expectations, Jiang Huai, who summoned them, did not immediately discuss with them, but left them aside after taking away many papers.

Zhu Gaoxu didn't pay too much attention to these places, he was more concerned about what Jianghuai would do after arriving in Longchuan.

"Brother Huiming believes that I am."

During the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, no one expected that at this juncture, Jianghuai would lead more than 300 officials to Nandian.

Now it seems that he did the right thing.

Zhao Liang also had a headache, and now they not only have to be responsible for the grain and grass of the hundreds of thousands of troops, but also for the case made by Jianghuai.

"I have been in contact with the barracks as early as the beginning, and now the barracks in each county have begun to investigate the situation of the cultivated land."

He obviously didn't expect Jianghuai to have this kind of relationship, but he didn't think it was strange when he thought about it carefully.

In addition to these chief officials, there are also six chamber officials similar to the six departments.

He wrote down the notes in the barracks, and was escorted to Kunming by a team of small flags, while he himself returned to Nandian County with Zhang Bohai and others, and changed his coldness and eagerly drank and talked with the magistrates of the four counties.

"In addition, inform the other three county chiefs to come to Nandian to discuss matters."

Xu Shuo saw Jiang Huai's thoughts at a glance, Zhao Liang picked up the song and looked at it, and couldn't help but praise:

Li Jinglong, Fu Rang, and Mu Chun launched attacks on Zhenkang, Cheli, Weiyuan and other places respectively.

The four counties of Longchuan are distributed in three river valleys, and Nandian is located at the fork of the two river valleys.

Because of this, after learning that there was a seemingly fantastical thing like a water pump, Lin Su was like grasping a life-saving straw, and kept cheekily asking Zhu Gaoxu for a water pump.

But even so, the local economy is still fragile, except for a small amount of land that can be reclaimed to grow wheat, and the rest of the land is basically what is grown.

"Then the official will take his leave." Li Ji has naturally heard of Jianghuai's name, after all, the news of Jianghuai High School's Tanhua came back early, not to mention that Jianghuai is still a Tanhua from western Yunnan.

In the end, the Ming Dynasty took the place, but due to demographic changes, it has become a luxury to spend a lot of effort to develop it.

"Third, now that there are pumping machines, although it is convenient to improve saline-alkali land, at the current improvement rate, whether we can clear out tens of thousands of acres of saline-alkali land every two or three months has become a problem."

"Yes." Yisha chuckled, and he also saw that his Royal Highness was a knife mouth tofu heart to Lin Su.

Lin Su's ability is not outstanding, but after all, he is an old man who followed him to the north, and he can tolerate many things.

In the face of this Tanhua, Li Ji did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly asked people to clean up the empty room of the yamen according to his instructions and organize it into a temporary government office.

"You say!" Lin Su spread his hand and said excitedly: "No matter what the way, Lao Tzu doesn't believe that I can't clean up this land!" ”

Although the three counties of Hetao have a population of more than 200,000, it took them only six months to improve a lot of 5,000 mu of land during last year's agricultural slack.

Lin Su thought of it, and soon an eight-hundred-mile urgent note was sent to Beijing City, and Yishaha, who got this note, also said the amount that Lin Su asked for in a dumbfounded manner.

"Send 200 officials to help him first, and then bring this matter to the court."

This is the second province in western Yunnan, and it is mainly responsible for the propaganda and consolation departments of Mengyang, Mubang, Luchuan, Myanmar, etc., and its importance is self-evident.

"Zhong Huai, let me introduce to you, this is Zhang Bohai, who is the first in the second class of the imperial examination, and his words will be clear, and now he is my Longchuan Mansion, you can call him brother."

Lin Su, who was over forty years old, immediately hugged the bachelor beside him excitedly after getting the exact news.

"Good, good! We have long had this thing, and we have already opened up hundreds of thousands of acres of arable land! ”

"Zhong Huai, I have heard Wen Qing say about your matter, I don't blame you for this matter, you don't have any burden."

"Don't check?" Zhang Bohai frowned: "If you don't investigate, how can you rectify the rule of officials, and if you don't rectify the rule of officials, how can you implement the policy?" ”

Although Longchuan Prefecture was under the rule of Wang Xuan, due to the frequent rebellions of Tusi and the fact that Wang Xuan rarely interfered in local government affairs, the local officials grew savagely.

On the 10th day of the ninth month, this note and document were sent to the desk of Xu Shuo, the new political envoy of Yunnan.

"Li Ji, the magistrate of Nandian County, and the officials of Nandian, see Jiang Governor and Zhang Fucheng!"

Because of this, Gao Guan knows very well that the four county documents are greasy, and they are very greasy.

Li Ji relieved himself and withdrew from the small courtyard, and when he saw him leaving, Jiang Huai said to the officials beside him:

The Yinshan and Daqing Mountains in the north of the three counties of Hetao are well protected due to the cheap coal mining, the ban on logging, and the policy of free concrete to build houses.

The pumping machine was of great help to the mining and agriculture of this era, and the Hetao was not the most important one.

The sand and dust on the Ordos Plateau occasionally blows northward, although not very often, but it also brings a lot of trouble to the local area.

"Indeed." It is rare for Xu Shuo to admit that his relationship is not as tough as Jianghuai, after all, it is Wang Xuan, the Bo of Longchuan, and although his backstage is the eunuch of the ceremonial supervisor Bingbi Yizha Yizha, but Wang Xuan has only one Jianghuai in his hands, but there are more than a dozen of his subordinates.

Jiang Huai took out the letter he had prepared earlier and handed it to the clerk, who also responded when he heard this, then turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, and asked Jiang Huai to handle the matter.

"Brother Huiming, I understand the situation in western Yunnan, but the top priority at the moment is to send officials to summarize the documents of the four counties into a government register."

Many small toasts reluctantly accepted to change their land and return to the stream, but more toasts chose to resist.

"The number of people is 347,627, this should be no problem, there is no poll tax now, so there will be no one to hide the population."

In the yamen of the political secretary, Xu Shuo communicated with Zhao Liang, who had been promoted to the left senator of Yunnan, and at the same time took out a note and said:

"This new science detective flower doesn't just want to bring down the four magistrates, otherwise he can take them down with the music and evidence at that time."

At this moment, they didn't know that the book and the book had been sent to Kunming.

Zhaomo, one person, from the ninth product, is in charge of grinding and auditing.

He cleaned himself up a little, but no matter how he cleaned up, a few years of farming life still made him look a little too mature.

Fifty pumping machines work at the same time from all directions, but they affect nearly 10,000 acres of cultivated land.

There are already not enough officials in the Yunnan Political Envoy Division, and now after such a fuss from Jianghuai, I am afraid that it will be even more insufficient.

Historically, this area should have been invaded and occupied by the Mongols a few decades later, and then repeatedly fought with the Ming army until it was completely lost a hundred years later.

Standing at the door of the Nandian Yamen, Jiang Huai, who was wearing a regular suit, spoke in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant, but the whole person was gentle and elegant.

In these years, when the saline-alkali land could not be improved, Lin Su dug wells and planted trees according to Zhu Gaoxu's request, so that the Hetao rarely suffered from sandstorms in the north.

"No wonder people can be prefects at this age, and we could only be prefects at that time, with this kind of heart and relationship, I'm afraid we can't catch up."

"If the imperial court knows about Longchuan, it is estimated that we don't need to speak, and that group of people will also suffer."

"I just came to Yunnan, and there is such a tricky thing coming out."

Soon, a few days passed, and when the chief officers of the four counties were still confused, the military attache from the military camp had already sent a military attache to invite Jiang Huai and others to the military camp.

Looking at the Daqing Mountain in the distance, and scanning the people cheering happily around him, Lin Su gritted his teeth:

"More than 200,000 people and brothers in the three counties want to eat, and I will give up my cheeks and ask for another 1,000 with His Royal Highness!"

Last year, Zhu Gaoxu sent 20 scholars to this land with selected potatoes, corn, peanuts and other crops, starting the arduous task of domesticating this land.

With Gao Guan's help, Jiang Huai soon called all the chief officials of the government, and several people began to check the accounts with the help of Gao Guan.

"The bigger problem is the land attributes of Longchuan's 2 million mu of cultivated land, as well as the crop attributes."

He said categorically: "No matter how difficult it is, I believe that the people of the three counties of Hetao can do it." ”

He shouted excitedly, but the bachelor who was being held by him hurriedly said:

The governor, one person, is nine products, out of the county, called the right to know a certain prefecture or a certain state or a certain county.

Don't talk about Jianghuai, even behind him Zhang Bohai, there is no one pushing him.

However, although the north can prevent it, the sandstorm in the south can't.

As Zhu Gaoxu expected, Lu Yu's group of officials stopped after arriving in Kunming Mansion, and only Jiang Huai and a few others were able to go to Yunnan to take up their posts.

"First, the pump can't work 12 hours a day, and you have to rest for half an hour every day to avoid overheating and damage."

"Now that you've done a good job, I'll be comfortable waiting for you to deliver the credit to your door this time."

It finally ushered in great unification, but it continued to deteriorate because the Yuan Dynasty did not pay attention to agriculture.

"According to the current situation, he can improve 40,000 mu of cultivated land every year, is he still not satisfied?"

"In addition, I sent someone to my hometown, asked my parents to rest at home, and notified the former official Gao Guan to come to the yamen to report."

Zhang Bohai explained, but Jiang Huai smiled: "They are not the head snakes, I am." ”

Under the trade-off between the two parties, Yisha Ha will not offend Wang Xuan for himself.

"At that time, I can go up to the political secretary and announce the situation in Longchuan to the world."

Although the original "Xie Jin case" involved many people, it failed to clean up the officials in Longchuan.

It's one thing to have the ability, but it's another thing to be able to reuse it.

"It's hard to do......"

"You send someone to the barracks to ask if Uncle Longchuan is in Longchuan, if not, you will hand over my handwritten letter to the Qianhu officials in the barracks."

With the account books of the four counties, naturally there is no evidence of their corruption.

In the past, the group of Jianwen ministers knew very well how to bribe and manipulate officials, but now they are just using their means on officials.

At this moment, even the perennial smiling face couldn't help but be speechless, and Zhu Gaoxu was even more speechless:

Compared with the Hetao, Shanxi's coal mines and Hami's agriculture are more important.

Thinking so, Zhu Gaoxu also continued to bury his head in dealing with government affairs, and at the same time, time passed little by little.

The population of the three counties of Hetao is only more than 276,000, although the annual allocation of money and grain by the imperial court is not a small amount, once the Hetao can be self-sufficient, it will undoubtedly relieve a lot of pressure for the imperial court, but the problem is that the pumping machine is more important.

Pushing the glasses, a bachelor explained to Lin Su, who was watching the work of the pumping machine beside him.

Bachelor Tai asked three questions, but Lin Su didn't think twice: "Yes!" ”

They brought the county's "Yellow Book", "Fish Scale Atlas", "Grain Book", and even prepared some local products to deal with.

"Second, people have to come and turn the soil every day during the day, which can speed up the speed of leaching the soil salt."

It was precisely because he understood the situation of the Jiang family that he did not offer any souvenirs to make people laugh.

However, with experience, Gao Guan knows very well that the kittens in the book are greasy.

In the past ten years, Lin Su has cultivated more than 300,000 acres of land on this land to grow wheat, and this is the limit of this land.

For three consecutive days, the seven people did not leave the small courtyard at all, and it was not until the fourth day that they roughly figured out the true situation in Longchuan.

As early as before they arrived, Li Ji of Nandian Zhixian County got the news that the four counties of Longchuan, Nandian, Ganya, and Manmo were mainly based on Longchuan and placed in Longchuan Mansion.

Although these lands can be used to grow new crops such as sweet potatoes, the yields are not as high as in ordinary cultivated fields.

Therefore, in the face of Jianghuai's summons, the magistrates of the three counties arrived at Nandian County in just four days.

After Jiang Huai finished explaining, Zhang Fucheng also bowed his head and said: "Wenqing rest assured, I will let people handle it now." ”

Relying on the tenacity of sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, peanuts, sunflowers and other crops, coupled with the improvement of water conservancy, the establishment of a perfect drainage and irrigation system, and the separation of irrigation and drainage, they gradually domesticated some saline-alkali land that is difficult to domesticate, but this process is undoubtedly slow.

"A thousand units...... I really dare to ask for this rammer. ”

"Brother Huiming, this is my brother Gao Guan and Gao Zhonghuai, who were falsely accused of being accused earlier, but it does not affect serving as an official."

"I summoned him this time so that he could talk to us about the twists and turns of Longchuan."

Looking at the books that arrived and the solid evidence, Xu Shuo couldn't help but feel a little headache.

Jiang Huai smiled warmly, but Zhang Bohai said when he heard this: "You and Longchuan Bo ......"

These things are not enough to clean up the entire Longchuan officialdom, but they are enough for Jianghuai to know the situation in Longchuan.

Since the fifth year of Yongle, Shanxi has successively transported people and grain here, and these three counties have also continued to transport iron materials to Kaiping.

Gao Guan said, but Jiang Huai shook his head and said, "We don't need to check." ”

They didn't dare to come, and there were only two enemies left in Lin Su.

"Yes......"

"Thank you Zhang Fucheng for your understanding......"

"Mother, more than ten years of hard work, hundreds of years of blessing for future generations, I don't believe that anyone will be too lazy to care about the life and death of future generations!"

Although Zhang Bohai became an official, his background made him not so arrogant, on the contrary, he showed great appreciation for Gao Guan, a local official who had walked around the grassroots level.

"This guy doesn't know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, and a thousand units are about to catch up with the two-year output."

Jiang Huai, as an intermediary, introduced Zhang Bohai and Gao Guan to each other.

After thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu was still unwilling to discourage Lin Su's enthusiasm, so he could only give in in the end: "Transfer 50 units to the three counties of Hetao every year, and tell Lin Su that there is no more." ”

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I'm afraid that the strong dragon won't be able to overpower the ground snake."

Before they could react, Jianghuai had already checked the information with the people sent by the military camp.

Staying in the Hetao all the year round, Lin Su only felt extremely aggrieved, because there was no enemy here, the only enemy was Warat, which had invaded a few years ago, and they were also pursued by Lin Su for hundreds of miles, and they never dared to come to the Hetao again.

"In my opinion, Wen Qing, you still have to come forward to appease this group of people and prevent them from causing trouble."

Under the governor of the state capital, he is in charge of grain transportation, family land, water conservancy, litigation and other matters, and has the responsibility of supervising the governor of the state government.

One is the overflowing Yellow River, and the other is the saline-alkali land caused by the lack of rainfall after being flooded by the Yellow River.

During the Yongle period, there were six chief officials in the government, of which the prefect set up one person, who was in charge of the decrees of the government, and the commander-in-chief belonged to each county, and all government affairs such as announcing the imperial decrees, governing the people, adjudicating lawsuits, inspecting traitors, assessing subordinate officials, and collecting taxes were all its duties.

"We need to send someone to find out these lands, but there are only more than 100 government officials, and it is difficult to find out."

"Nandian has convenient transportation, we are temporarily in Nandian to manage the government, please ask Li Zhixian to let people pack up some guest rooms of the county government for the government officials to settle in."

Tongzhi, also known as Fucheng, has no fixed number of personnel, is the fifth grade, and is responsible for the local salt, grain, capture and theft, river defense, sea frontier, river engineering, water conservancy, as well as cleaning up the military register, and raising the people.

Before Jianghuai, Yunnan had at most some second-class jinshi, where there was such an existence as Tanhua.

Because of this, before Jianghuai went south, he had already found out the details of Jianghuai, and in addition to being surprised by his identity as the son of a serf, he also had to admire the Jiang family's style.

Wuyuan (Bazhuoyaner), Jiuyuan (Baotou), Dingxiang (Hohhot), these colorful cities in later generations, are now re-named with Han surnames and have received strong support from the imperial court.

After walking into his courtyard, Jiang Huai did not be polite, but turned around vigorously and discussed with that Zhang Fucheng.

Upon learning the news, Li Ji and the others did not dare to stop it, after all, the weight of the three words 'Longchuan Bo' was enough to crush the magistrates of the four counties.

As the saying goes, a rat droppings spoils a pot of porridge, and the land of Longchuan is completely a pile of rat droppings mixed with white rice, which is naturally not clean.

"How much do you say?"

"At this rate, it is estimated that it will only take a month or two to reduce the salinity of the land to shallow and low, and then it will be possible to grow crops such as sweet potatoes, wheat and potatoes."

Xu Shuo played with a knife to kill people, you must know that this group of people in western Yunnan are all the original Jianwen ministers.

Among them, the reason why the rule of officials is seriously corrupt is mainly related to the hundreds of thousands of Jianwen ministers and family members in Jiangnan who were exiled back then.

"What he wants, I'm afraid, is that the Chief Secretary will directly send a sufficient number of officials to replace the officials of the entire Longchuan Mansion at the same time."

When the words fell, Zhang Fucheng walked out of the small courtyard, and Jiang Huai also said to Li Ji:

"I'm tired of Li Zhixian's cooperation, I don't have anything to do here, Li Zhixian doesn't have to worry."

It is only 200 miles from Manmo to Nandian, it is more than 120 miles from Longchuan to Nandian, and the dry cliff is only more than 30 miles from Nandian.

"At most, ten days, they will invite me out of the city in the name of Long Chuanbo, and when the time comes, we will check with them with the papers, and mark them whenever there is a problem."

When the time came to August, Yunnan's land reform reached a climax.

Zhang Bohai behaved generously, which opened Gao Guan's original inferiority complex a little, and then sat down with the two and talked about the twists and turns of Longchuan.

He still admires Jiang Dari, a serf who can't read big characters, to teach a character like Jiang Huai.

Pushing officials, one person, is seven products, and he is in charge of the prison lawsuit.

"According to our mark, the arable land in Longchuan should be about 2.16 million, and many of the cultivated land is planted with sugarcane, mulberry, soybeans and other crops, but the book says that rice is grown."

However, with the sound of pumping machines ringing in this land, the development of agriculture in this land is no longer a problem.

When they were confused, Jiang Huai and Zhang Fucheng met Gao Guan in the small courtyard.

"Then what should I do with this recital, now the yamen can't send more than 400 officials to help him."

The magistrates of the four counties were confused, but they still had a relationship with Jianghuai for the sake of the black yarn hat.

"It's not too early to rejoice, and although the means of irrigation and drainage and drainage are useful, there are a few troubles."

Putting down the pen, Zhu Gaoxu rubbed his temples: "Excluding the four months of cold winter from October to early February, there are eight months left." ”

Now there are so many cases of concealing the nature of the land among them, whether it is the one in the East Palace or the Wuying Palace, it is obvious that they cannot be allowed to make mistakes.

Thinking of this, Xu Shuo couldn't help but sigh:

"The position of the political envoy of Yunnan is really hot......"
