Chapter 86 The Importance of Full Institutions

When the rich families are useful, Yun Zhao doesn't mind giving them some benefits, because they have strong financial resources and can do a lot of things.

When the people of Lantian County needed their own small county order to make a choice between them and the rich and the upper households, Yun Zhao naturally chose the people of Lantian County.

This is because at this time, there are many benefits to choosing all the people, and if you choose the rich and go to the household, Yunzhao will be busy this winter.

As Yun Zhao said, he really didn't care much about money, and he even thought that in a place like Guanzhong, trading with money would only cheapen those merchants who had no contribution.

Only with surplus materials can there be a demand for trading, and only then can there be a living space for merchants.

Now in Guanzhong, except for human trafficking, Yun Zhao can't see any business opportunities.

When people have surplus materials, the merchant class will naturally appear, like weeds, which cannot be cut, killed, or burned.

After the snow melts, the next step is to open up the wasteland......

Although there is not much wasteland left in Lantian County to cultivate, because of the manpower and siblings, Yun Zhao ordered that there should be no idle land in Lantian County.

If you have endless land and have not prepared for spring sowing before spring sowing, then others have the right to cultivate your land, and in summer and autumn, the harvest will naturally belong to someone else's family.

If your family's land has been abandoned for two consecutive years, then the government will take back the abandoned land and hand it over to the meritorious displaced people to cultivate, and it will become the private land of the displaced people's family, and it will be registered by the government, and the original owner will never take it back.

Yun Niang didn't plan to be in her beloved garden this year, she dug up the Yueji roots, and the garden of more than one acre of land was all prepared by her to plant peppers, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, especially chili peppers, this thing Yun Zhao didn't give a single seed to outsiders, all of them were taken away by his mother.

"Peppers should be raised first, and then transplanted into the ridged fields, corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes should also be ridged, and they should not be planted slowly like wheat."

Seeing that my mother took Qian Duoduo and a group of sisters to tidy up the garden, she also raked the ground neatly with a rake, and put on a donkey dragging a mill woven with willow branches, and grinded the ground carefully, which can be called a model of farming.

"It's better to plant all the peppers."

Qian Duoduo was extremely dissatisfied with Yun Zhao's putting away thirty percent of the pepper seeds, she didn't like tomato seeds, and felt that Yun Zhao was stingy and was still hurting her, because this thing called 'persimmon', Xu Guangqi wrote clearly on the paper bag containing the seeds - you can't eat it, you can only watch it!

Yun Zhao has been hungry for tomato brisket for a long time...... As for tomatoes that you can't eat? Eighty percent of it was Xu Guangqi who gnawed on green persimmons.

Yun Zhao didn't bother to explain to Qian Duoduo, and arrogantly told Qian Duoduo that this thing was the poison he was going to use in the future, and he must plant it well, and if he didn't plant it well, he would poison her with this thing first.

"My sister has planted it, shall I taste it first?" Qian Shaoshao exposed his big head from behind Yun Zhao.

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Count yourself lucky, when this thing is ripe, the two of us will eat it first, and then we will starve your sister to death!"

But don't tell her yet, or we'll never wait for the persimmons to ripen. ”

"This thing can be eaten?" Qian Shaoshao lifted the bag of tomato seeds, and the word 'poisonous' was clearly written on it.

"I'll be the first to eat when the time comes!" Yun Zhao is very sure, after all, he has eaten something for many years and has never been poisoned.

"Forget it, I'd better be the first to eat!"

Qian Shaoshao was obviously relieved, he didn't think that his young master was going to poison him, so he naturally had to say cheap words.

"Okay, when the time comes, you will be the first to eat, and when you are not poisoned, I will eat again!" Yun Zhao pressed Qian Shaoshao's shoulders with both hands, and his advice to Qian Shaoshao was as good as flowing.

Qian Shao saw that Yun Zhao was gone, and hurriedly caught up and said, "We can actually feed the pigs first!" Liang's mother in Mingyue Building said, what pigs can eat, I can eat! ”

Since a blizzard, Yushan has seen a grand scene of clouds and clouds again, and the stream flowing out of the mountain has slowly returned to its former appearance, no longer violent, and gentle like a little woman.

Today is the day when the reservoir opens the gate to release water, after all, the first time to fill the reservoir with water, Yun Zhao did not dare to load too much, before he came here, he had just read the news that the Indians' newly built dam was swallowed by rats, Yun Zhao did not think that the dam he led people to build would be better than the third brother built, so the reservoir was filled with eighty percent of water, and the gate was opened in advance to release water.

With the order of the craftsman, the sluice plates on the twenty ditches were pulled out together, and then there was a stream of water rushing down the stone canal, and when it reached the top of the waterwheel, the water flow was restrained by the stone bars, and the water flow became thinner and more powerful.

The waterwheel first moved, then slowly swayed up and down, and after a while, it began to rotate slowly, and soon after, it was running freely.

A bucket of water was creaked up by the waterwheel and poured into a wooden trough in mid-air, and in a short time the farmer on the dam shouted, 'The water is coming!' ’

Twenty-two ditches and twenty-two waterwheels carry water from four high-altitude wooden troughs of different heights, and these water are collected in the repaired earthen ditches and run happily into the distance.

"Lord Qiqi, the reservoir is safe and sound, and the old man thinks that he can store two more points of water."

Yun Zhao shook his head, pointed to the water that returned to the river and shook his head: "You can't store water anymore, you have to give the people downstream a little way to live, I don't want to take you to fight with the people of Chang'an County for water." ”

The water officer in charge of building the reservoir shook his head and said: "Even when this water reaches Chang'an County, it also flows into Weishui in vain."

Earlier, when the officials repaired the four reservoirs of Beixiang, Nanxiang, Dongxiang and Xixiang, they had already informed Chang'an County, hoping that they could also start building pond weirs and reservoirs, and they were scolded back. ”

Yun Zhao sneered and said: "You will stay in Lantian County in the future, don't go back to Xi'an, you have no role there, I will transfer you to Lantian County Water Officer."

We are not only going to build reservoirs and weirs this year, but also more water conservancy next year.

Rest assured, the money that Lantian County gives you will not be silver, copper money, or grain, and how big your official position and ability will be paid in full according to your money. ”

The old water official shook it to the end and said gratefully: "Thank you for your life." ”

Yun Zhao did not support the water official, but sighed and said: "My husband said that the reason why there are displaced people in Guanzhong is that man-made disasters are greater than natural disasters.

Guanzhong water conservancy has been built for more than 2,000 years, starting from Zhengguo Canal to Jinghui Canal, Zhangshui Canal, Hedong Canal, Longshou Canal, Liufu Canal, Bai Canal, Mengwei Canal, Lingqi Canal, Qianmo traffic is like spider silk for the world!

It is these water conservancy projects that ensure that Guanzhong is the granary of the world, and it is more than abundant even in the famine year.

This time, Lantian County just repaired some of the former water conservancy ditches, only using 10,000 quintals of money and grain, and more than one million labor, which took three months to become the current great cause.

It's not how powerful we are, but we have the foundation laid down by our ancestors, as long as we make use of these foundations and repair them, we can save all the people from fire and water, but for some reason, no one has done it. ”

The old water official cried bitterly: "The old man only wants the adult to rise step by step, and he can take Lantian and Chang'an and then Xi'an, and then Guanzhong, if the adult can always be in Guanzhong, it should be the blessing of the people, although the old man is too old to drive, he must follow the adult to reproduce the grand scene of eight rivers around Chang'an, and the lakes are dotted!" ”

Yun Zhao turned his back, looked at the water in the canal and whispered: "Go, Xi'an's agricultural official, if the craftsman also intends to leave Xi'an, he will also attract Lantian." ”

The old water officer was once again grateful, and led a group of craftsmen to inspect the canal.

"What are we going to do with so many useless people?"

Although Qian Shaoshao is smart, he is young after all.

"These people have been engaged in a craft for generations, and if they have no outstanding qualities, how can they be promoted from craftsmen to officials?

These people are different from the officials in the yamen, they are all people who can come in handy, and they must be the best in their own specialized professions.

This kind of person is not useless, but very useful.

Next, we have a lot of new grain to spread in Lantian County, we have to build enough weapons, if possible, we also want to build real firearms, no matter what big cause we want to do, absolutely inseparable from these people. ”
