Kunshan County Ya Ertang.

Second Master Zhao sighed for a while, and put forward new requirements.

"Although the implementation of the new policy does not seem to be difficult, don't take it lightly, you must do a good job of checking and filling in the gaps, and then you can't go on a business trip."

"Yes." He Xiancheng and the others were busy responding, and they were also in a very happy mood. This year, other counties will implement the new policy, and they will be anxious without thinking about it, and they don't have to suffer this crime, which is really happy.

"Then we will follow the original plan and shift the focus of Kunshan County's work this year from construction to production." Second Master Zhao started talking again, glanced at the audience and said: "This year, the official has one request, that is, the people of Kunshan, none of them can go out to ask for food!" ”

If these words had been put in the past, all the officials would have burst into laughter. How many years has 'called Hua Kunshan', is it a wasted name? As soon as the flood came, the common people took the children and bedding with a flat burden, brought the strings and bamboo boards and went out to ask for food.

Suzhou, Taicang, Songjiang, and even Wuxi and Jiaxing, wherever there is a well, you can see beggars with Kunshan accents. It's all a scene in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the past, who dared to say that Kunshan people would no longer want food. Everyone will think that he has lost his mind, he doesn't want to eat, and he starves to death?

But who would have thought that only half a year has passed, and the scene called Hua Kunshan is about to become a swan song.

Not only is the 300-mile causeway repaired, so that Kunshan will never be flooded. And the people in the county don't have to worry about making a living at all.

"You can rest assured that the labor force in Kunshan County is very tight this year, and no one will go out to ask for food." He Wenwei said with a relieved face: "Take off the hat of 'Hua Kunshan', the great master has great merit." ”

"Oh......"

Seeing the eldest man's confused face, Bai Shouli hurriedly explained: "At the invitation of Chongming and Shanghai, Kunkaisi participated in the construction of the sea pond in the two counties. In view of the fact that there are already a large number of skilled workers in the county, Kunkaisi has recruited more than 20,000 workers in the county. In addition, Suzhou and Taicang also wanted to invite Kunkaisi to participate in the construction, but the board of directors did not agree considering the actual situation in the county. ”

"Yes, the subsidiaries of Jiangnan Group began to recruit people in this county a few years ago. More than a dozen companies combined, almost more than 20,000 people have been recruited, and 40,000 strong laborers have gone out at this time...... How many laborers are there in this county? He Wenwei also added the information he had, and then raised his own concerns:

"There aren't enough people to farm the land here."

"The second master doesn't have to worry, there are people in Jiangnan, and it is not difficult to recruit people to farm." Bai Shouli said with confidence.

"Hmm." Second Master Zhao patted his head and remembered. During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Hao talked to him about it. But these days of hard work day and night, my brain is blank, and I forget about it.

Zhao Hao said that the biggest change brought about by a whip law is that ordinary people can finally break free from the shackles of land and freely choose their profession.

As long as they earn money, they can pay their taxes, and of course they will move to the better-paid business sector.

But a whip law needs a patch, and that is that the government must have the means to keep food prices stable. Otherwise, it is very likely that when the peasants pay their taxes, 'rice is cheap and hurts the peasants'. When the green and yellow are not connected, the scene of 'rice is expensive and hurts the people'.

Because after a whip law, the peasants needed to sell grain to pay taxes, so profiteers and gentry could take the opportunity to lower the price of grain and exchange a very small amount of silver taels for the people's grain.

In return, you can use extremely high prices to exploit those citizens who do not farm. Make money inside and out, but in the end, it is the people who suffer.

If we do not take the slightest precautions, this phenomenon will definitely happen, and in the end, a whip law that benefits the country and the people will also become an evil law.

So how do you keep food prices stable? The answer is to re-establish standing positions.

In order to regulate grain prices, store grain and prepare for famine, and supply food for the government and the people, the government of successive dynasties will set up similar government-run granaries in each county.

When the market grain price is low, the position is often closed, and the grain price is appropriately raised for a large number of purchases. When the price of grain in the market is high, the price should be appropriately lowered and sold, so as to prevent 'cheap rice hurting farmers' and "expensive rice hurting the people."

On the basis of regular liquidation, the DPRK has set up a more complex reserve position system...... Yes, last year, Xujia burned the Kunshan Reserve Warehouse. However, because the operation is too complicated, the effect is not as good as a simple regular position. Therefore, it was basically useless in the Chenghua years.

Zhao Hao has already made suggestions to Hai Rui in this regard, and Hai Gong also thinks so, saying that he will order all governments to pay attention to the construction of regular liquidation and list it as a key assessment item.

Of course, Zhao Gongzi, who was heartbroken for his old father, had already asked Wu Chengen to finish the job for him. The 'over-fired' reserve was rebuilt last autumn. He borrowed money from the predecessor of Jiangnan Bank, 'Wu Ji Qian Zhuang', and purchased 50,000 stone autumn grain as a reserve grain for Kunshan Changping.

In addition, the tax grain harvested last autumn is enough to ensure that the county will not have a big fluctuation in grain prices during the spring famine this year, and it will be able to make a small profit, and the interest and part of the arrears can be repaid.

~~

Therefore, this year's major event in various counties does not need to be worried about by Zhao Erye......

Zhao Erye said in his heart, then change to build bridges and pave roads, right? As a result, Kunkaisi has formulated a plan to complete the county's road network planning and road and bridge renovation within one year.

Well, let's focus on education. In the Jiangnan Education Group, Jiang Jiaoyu, who also has a position, told him that Kunshan County will open five primary schools, a middle school, and a vocational school this year. These schools will be jointly run with the county, and they can naturally be counted as the merits of the county.

Jiang Jiaoyu also told Master Zhao that all children who study do not charge tuition, and the school also manages breakfast and lunch...... With tears in his eyes, he said to Zhao Shouzheng, the county's culture and education are flourishing, and it is just around the corner! As long as it goes on according to the current plan, Huakunshan will definitely become a veritable hometown of champions in the future!

In other words, let's just cooperate, don't make a mess for others......

The imperial court's assessment of the teachings is very simple, that is, how many people in the county are talented, and how many people are promoted.

He begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, so that Yufeng Academy agreed to accept the students of the county school to study, but he never dared to offend others.

Old Man Zhao smacked his lips and said depressedly: "Then you can only do charity." Did they do this too? ”

"Not really." Bai Shouli hurriedly said: "Kun Kaisi is in business after all, and he has to rely on the eldest master in this regard." ”

In fact, in the clan society of Daming, the people of the county are having a better life, and there will be no abandoned old, weak, sick and young.

However, Master Bai is not a fool, how can he discourage the enthusiasm of the old man again?

"Hmm." Zhao Shouzheng's expression perked up and said: "That's right, the people of this county have suffered for too long in the past, and the people have long been exhausted. ”

"High, really high!" He Xiancheng and others gave a thumbs up, saying in their hearts that no wonder people can win the champion, this theoretical level is high.

Finally, Zhao Erye announced that doing a good job of escorting the county is the focus of this year's work.

The Kunshan County Ya's New Year's Work Arrangement Conference ended smoothly.
