Chapter 106: Land Can Be Planted
The summer harvest has been busy for nearly ten days, and the crops in the county have been harvested.
As mentioned above, the people's will and the power of faith gathered by the harvest scene are enough to be worth the results of several temple fairs held by Qiantai.
The crops were planted by the people themselves, and Qiantai and the second Yuan God clone did not contribute much this time, but they got such a big bargain and saved the time of several temple fairs, which can be said to be a great benefit.
Jixian County had a bumper harvest, and Qiantai asked the people below to pay a five-cent tax. How much is the five-cent tax, that is, as the saying goes, half of the grain obtained by the government and the people.
The five-cent tax is indeed heavy compared with the tax paid by the Jixian County government in the past. But in troubled times, heavy taxes, Qiantai wanted to raise male soldiers, and if he wanted to fight, he had to receive such heavy taxes.
Moreover, Qiantai knew in his own heart that he did not mean to force the people to live by collecting such a heavy tax, which was enough to leave a way for the people under his rule to live. You must know that for thousands of years, there are many tyrants and warlords who have collected taxes to six cents, seven cents, or even nine cents in troubled times, and that is the real tyranny and murder. Moreover, this year's harvest is large, and today's Jixian County does not need to pay any incense offerings, since the second Yuan God doppelganger has always received the believers in incense only to seek sincerity, so this year's harvest was only collected by Qiantai fifty percent, which is still enough for the people to live.
A grain is a strength, and these grain harvests represent that Qiantai has paid off in Jixian County, and the luck of being fined in Jixian County has also begun to rise.
After the grain harvest was over, the government collected a total of 1.3 million stone of grain. With such a budget, the county has received 2.6 million stone of grain this year, not to mention the unreported land and the slopes in the remote mountains, which are not included in the unreported land concealed by some large households in the county, and Qiantai estimates that a small number of county households will also have a grain harvest of 3 million stone this year. The entire Jixian County is more than 300,000 acres of fields, with a population of nearly 780,000 people, and the yield of nearly 10 stones per mu is enough for the people for a year after tax.
The county seat of Jixian County
The temple of the Great General's Mansion of Jixian Houfu recalled all the temple blessings from all over the country. The next day, all the temple blessings loyal to the faith brought the scattered drawings of the villages, and these temple blessings began to instruct the people everywhere to plant summer.
This time, Qiantai let the people plant the land, including the new land excavated by the Houfu of Jixian County.
The drawings brought by the general's palace are the dark river system under the new fields in the villages in the county prepared by Qiantai early in the morning.
From these drawings, it is enough for the temples to lead the people to dig up the land and find the water under the fields.
Moreover, these drawings have been modified by Qiantai, except for some locations where the land has been excavated, the others have been inaccurate. These drawings were all divided and scattered, and the most loyal Miaozhu and his family did it, so that the government officials would not interfere, and they would be recovered and destroyed afterwards, and they would not be leaked at all, because these drawings also belonged to the county's intelligence.
In doing so, Qiantai can be said to protect these drawings very closely.
The matter is also related to the cultivation of new land that was excavated in other counties of Zhuo County a month ago. Liu Boxi and Qianming in the house once reminded Qiantai and asked what about the new fields in other places when the land in Qiantai County began to be cultivated.
Qiantai said: "This summer, Qiantai plans to only cultivate new land in Jixian County, and set a good example for all parts of Zhuo County. ”
"If so many new lands outside the county are not planted this year, they will be barren again in the coming year, and there will inevitably be gossip and a big crime. Liu Boxi said.
Qian Ming frowned even more and said: "Now that the imperial brother has not captured Zhuo County, if these lands can be excavated like the county, then the gates of Zhuo County will probably ask the imperial brother for these drawings." Even if there is no way to hide it now, after the news of the situation in Jixian County comes out, for the sake of those new lands, these people will covet it. ”
When Qiantai heard this, he said: "As for the new land outside the county, it is necessary to wait until the summer planting is over, and then pass on the drawings, and then let the localities replant the late-harvested grain, so as not to make the fields barren." He added: "And by that time, the county has been decided, and it is also when the Houfu of Wuji County takes over Zhuo County, and all the new lands will be returned to the government, and there is no room for others to be blushing." ”
That's what Qiantai said, and set the summer planting treatment of these new lands.
Moreover, after the government of Jixian County divided the new land in the county, it agreed with the people of each household under its rule that it was still a five-cent tax, which directly made up for the people's hearts dropped by the heavy tax before Qiantai, and made the law of Jixian Houfu clear again.
After the summer planting, the seedlings in the fields of the county grow, and the green seedlings in the fields everywhere are very gratifying.
All the new fields in the prefecture have either been dug up from mountain springs or directly from ponds. Most of the land that has been rectified in Jixian County has been turned into living land, with nearly 100,000 mu of land.
You must know that there are now more than 300,000 acres of grain fields in Jixian County, and nearly half of the land in Jixian County has survived in one fell swoop, which is not amazing.
In one place, one kind of political affairs, Qiantai grasped the root of the lack of arable land and the suffering of the people in Youzhou, where would it be unpopular.
At that time, everyone may be surprised by this number, but you must know that most of the fields dug up by Qiantai were in the hills. The northern land is a chaotic and hilly area, and if it weren't for the support of the Qingming official system brought by Qiantai to open up the wasteland (or the temple blessings brought by it are more important, it can get rid of the evil spirits in the mountains and wilderness. The people of the county could not cultivate the mountains at all.
Jixian County, the county is also presided over by the Hou Mansion, worshipping heaven and earth, ancestors, praying for the heavens to dig the fields and dig the dark river, so that the humanity in the dark will know.
At the same time, the government also encouraged the villages in the county to build and assemble their own water wheels, so that the villagers could take better care of Xintian.
The government also posted a notice emphasizing that all the land in the county belonged to the government, and Liu Boxi was in charge of reorganizing and registering the household registration according to the previous survey of Toda in the county.
Since then, there is nothing untraceable under the Houfu of Jixian County, and every household has been found, and the public security in the county has been completely clear and stable for a while.
After planting in the summer, nearly half of the fields in the small Jixian County have been planted, which has made the counties around Zhuo County blush. I don't know how many people are expected to get the drawings of Jixian Houfu, and some people are eager to get Zhuojun, which is still a dry new field.
In other counties, there are also local families or county officials who secretly look for water in Xintian, and although they can't all dig in the right place to dig out water, there are always those who happen to dig up groundwater. Soon the garrisons and military guards sent by Fucheng will copy these guys who are doing things, and now these newly dug fields in Zhuo County belong to the Zhuo County Guard.
Slowly, some remarks began to appear in Zhuo County, saying that although the extra land in Zhuo County now belongs to the county guard, it is actually excavated by Ji County. Moreover, it is said that today's Zhuo County has actually taken refuge in Jixian County, and these lands will only belong to Jixian County in the end.
What's more, it is said that Jixian Hou has land in his hands and does not distribute it to the people in the county, but instead engages in construction in his own fiefdom, which is accumulating the strength of rebellion.
Rumors kill people, people are terrible, Youzhou it will be Qiantai scolded madness, in short, Jixian inside and outside the whole suddenly like two worlds.
At the same time, Qiantai received the same powerful news from the mud plough court under the Hou Mansion recently, as if the county guard of Shanggu County in the north of Zhuo County was going to be moved to Shangjing to take up his post.
Even, the mud plough court also found out for Qiantai that if the county guard of Shanggu County could be promoted, it seemed that he would be taken care of by the Cao family in the south.
But Qiantai didn't see it that way, it should be Yuan Shao who was going to make a move on Shanggu County. Because after receiving the reminder of this news, Qiantai looked at the changes in the stars and luck in the north, and it seemed that a fierce spirit was coming from the north, and someone wanted to raise a war. It was Yuan Shao who wanted to occupy Shanggu County, and then look for an opportunity to offend himself.
Qiantai also began to look for an opportunity to occupy Zhuo County!
At this time, Qiantai had stable luck in Jixian County, strong soldiers and horses, and sufficient grain and grass. Moreover, Qiantai and Shi Lang, the county guard of Zhuo County, have surrendered, and the deity and doppelganger have been able to plot against Zhuo County and become the lord of Zhuo County.
Luck moves with his heart, and the luck dragon on the top of Qiantai's head suddenly rises at this time, his fierce eyes open and close, and he looks around when he flies, and regards Zhuojun as a mouth and a private point.
