Liangjun and Jiangdong are separated by a river, but the climate has shown differences. Specifically, in terms of farming, the planting and harvesting of early rice was nearly a month later than in Jiangdong, especially in Huiji.

Of course, the different periods of field work cannot be completely attributed to the difference in climate, environment and government decrees, which also causes the difference in people's customs.

"Huiji and other countryside have a lot of fertile soil, while Liang County is rotten. If the rot is too much, it will hurt the seedlings, so it is necessary to add another process before raising seedlings, and it is not possible to save ...... by exposing the seeds and drying the pond."

Between the ridges of the fields, a middle-aged man in a short brown linen shirt who looked like an old farmer talked eloquently, and his person seemed to be unattractive, but he was the supervisor of the hundreds of hectares of tuntian area in front of him. He pointed to the seedlings in the field that were about to be headed, and occasionally bent down to grab a handful of wet soil on the edge of the field, and talked about more details, not only twisting the wet soil from the palm of his hand, but even twisting a little and sending it to his mouth to smack carefully, and then spit it out and make a little evaluation.

Shen Jin in the team saw this scene, and faintly felt sick to his stomach, but when he saw that the elder brother in front of him listened attentively, he bowed slightly from time to time, and forced a little nausea in his heart down, and he also felt that the elder brother was really amazing, not only Yunwen Yunwu, but even these cultivation skills actually knew a lot.

Thinking of the serious expression of the overseer and tasting the soil, he was inevitably curious and eager to try, could it be that the soil in this country was a kind of special sweetness? Taking advantage of the time for others to move forward, he grabbed a little dirt and threw it into his mouth, and then a rancid smell suddenly spread in his mouth, and he couldn't help but hold his chest and retch.

When everyone heard the movement, they all turned their heads, and when they saw the mud on the corner of Shen Jin's mouth, they couldn't help it. Seeing this, the overseer stepped forward and handed Shen Jin a water bladder to rinse his mouth, and said with a smile: "The taste of the earth is fishy, and there is no difference between the north and the south." There may be slight differences in them, all of which are despicable tastes of lowly old farmers. Ah Lang has a good nature, but it really doesn't have to be this way. ”

Hearing everyone's laughter, Shen Jin's face suddenly turned red. However, Shen Zhezi didn't reprimand him, turned around and brushed the wet soil off his chest, and said with a smile: "Although the taste of the earth is inferior, it has its own vitality and longevity. All kinds of tastes in the world are born from this, and the kun is heavy, and you can lean over to try it, which is already towards virtue. ”

When Shen Jin heard this, he suddenly snorted, and really wanted to stuff the remaining bit of wet soil in his hand into his brother's mouth, but he still didn't dare after all, so he washed his hands in Hetang, rinsed his mouth for a while, and then trotted after him.

Shen Zhezi saw this scene, and there was no lack of relief, sure enough, this kid was ravaged, before leaving, he cried his father and shouted that his mother refused to follow him across the river, and he was depressed for a few days after being forcibly brought over by himself, and he has gradually adapted to it, and began to contact and learn, and no longer cause trouble.

The group walked around the field for a while, and the supervisor explained many cultivation techniques that were different from the north and south and then adapted to local conditions, although Shen Zhezi listened very carefully, but to be honest, he didn't understand it at all. But it was nothing, after all, there were scribes in the procession who cantilevered their arms and transcribed everything that the overseer had said.

Of course, this is not for Shen Zhezi, recently he visited many tunken and various workshops, collected these front-line production techniques, and prepared to compile a collection of many farming and agricultural skills in the north and south, similar to "Qi Min Yaoshu". And this set of agricultural books should be used as a textbook for cultivating production talents in the future. These cultivated talents will not be used as labor force, but as organizers and managers of labor production at the grassroots level. After all, Kaimeng literacy alone is already considered a talent of this era.

As the area under his jurisdiction became larger, Shen Zhezi felt more and more that even if there was a good decree, it would be difficult to implement it from top to bottom. Moreover, because of the different regional conditions, it is difficult to achieve all the government decrees, and if the local county administration is allowed to adapt to local conditions, it will breed the accumulation of evils and corruption and harm the people, but it is better to delegate these flexible powers to the front-line production organizers, but this requires a large number of grassroots talents.

Although Shen Zhezi now has the power to open the government and conquer the government, he does not intend to break the old talent barriers and use talents from poor families on a large scale. It's not that I'm worried about the counterattack of the old forces of the clan, but because there are really not so many talents to choose from in a cold family, after all, the education level is there, like the Shen family, who was already a leader in the cold family in the early years, and the alternative of the family is like that.

Second, in this turbulent era, power must inevitably be concentrated, so that it can achieve high efficiency, and only then can it have sufficient growth and viability. The introduction of a large number of cold doors can only be used if there are indeed talents, but if it is only a form, it will make the ruling order more chaotic. Especially in this era, the so-called poor talents, it is impossible to be able to pour out a large number of people in abject poverty, once they gain power, there will inevitably be a desire to transform to the world, and the greed for power and money is not inferior to the world.

After all, Shen Zhezi himself was able to stand out through such competition, and he felt that his thinking was somewhat universal.

Therefore, Shen Zhezi's ideal hegemonic structure, for the recruitment of talents, is to maintain a large enough coverage and mobility, and at the same time give talents enough room to grow and play, which is enough, there is no need to force any humble and pure or family leaders.

As for these destitute households, Shen Zhezi is not obsessed with fighting for any political rights and interests for them. The improvement of the political status of a class lies in the awakening of self-consciousness after obtaining the economic foundation, so as to take the initiative to strive for it, and not in the kindness of one or two people who dare to be the first in the world. What Shen Zhezi can do now is only to provide them with a stable environment for production and life.

Of course, now the entire Huainan Governor's Office, whether it is administration or production, everything must be established under the premise of the first army, so thinking about the issue of rights and interests is a luxury concept and has no practicality.

After patrolling in the field, Shen Zhezi asked with curiosity: "There are already Xiaxi rice seeds in Wu Township, and the yield has increased a lot, why is there no cultivation in the tun reclamation now?" ”

After asking this question, Shen Zhezi saw that the overseer's face was quite embarrassed, and he guessed that he had asked a stupid question. Sure enough, the governor and the guard said the reason, although Wuxiang has bred some high-yield rice varieties, but they are far from mature, and the planting conditions are extremely harsh, even in Wuxing and other places, it is only small-scale planting. As for these tuntian areas in Jiangbei, they really don't dare to take the risk of trying to plant, you must know that once you make a mistake, it will delay the harvest of the whole season, and in terms of military law, it is possible to kill your head!

The supervisor is the old man of Wu Township's own family, although Shen Zhezi exposed his shortcomings, he didn't feel embarrassed, and said after laughing dryly: "This is also a concern, but now that the world is leaping forward, there is no need to be bound by the old law, everything that can benefit the world must be tried." Later, the county government was asked to approve a whole field and switch to trial planting of new varieties from the north and south. If there is any gain, it will be judged by the merit of A. ”

The accompanying Liang County officials stepped forward to receive the order and quickly recorded it on their handpieces.

After plowing the field and inspecting it, the group returned to this tunbao. The scale of this tunpu is not small, with more than 1,000 men and women, and more than 1,300 people old and young. Such a ratio also shows the cruelty of the world, and the chances of the elderly and children who do not have enough ability to survive in this troubled world are too low.

Similar tunpu is distributed in the vast suburbs of Jiangbei and Huainan. Especially in the area close to Tuzhong, there are nearly 100 of them. Nearly half of them are registered under the direct jurisdiction of the Governor's Office, with more than 20,000 households. Others are from the joint sect, or the local villagers. Such a proportion of students enrolled is enough to make those county officials in Jiangdong extremely envious.

After arriving in Tunpu, the fort has already prepared a meal full of rural taste, and even the fruit wine collected by the villagers to brew themselves, although the taste is sour and bitter, it is also a flavor. Shen Zhezi and a group of attachés sat down for dinner, and on the way, many villagers rushed to visit after hearing the news, and offered some rice and meat produced in the countryside. Shen Zhezi also left people behind, and while eating, he asked about the life and production in the township.

Although these villagers have few complaints in front of Shen Zhezi, and there are a lot of praise, but from the unfinished points of their words, Shen Zhezi can also summarize a little, the villagers still suffer from excessive labor.

Now in the Huainan Governor's Office, the fiscal framework has been initially established, and some tax-related decrees are being trialed. In fact, there is nothing to say about taxation, whether ancient or modern, it is necessary to use the minimum administrative cost to obtain the maximum financial income. Therefore, a good tax collection method must be conceived around the most scarce social resources.

In today's Huainan, or the whole world today, the most scarce resource is manpower. As for land, it abounds, and barren fields are continuous, so there is no way to talk about land taxes at all. The Huainan Governor's Mansion took the lead in the military, so most of the registered people joined the army. As for those Wubi Township Sects, the population is really difficult to count, and it is not easy to implement the Ding tax.

But there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart. For those who are not in control, the Huainan Governor's Office does not take action on land and population, but uses military use as a reason to completely ban civil canals and private dairies in the territory. In this way, on the one hand, it is possible to ensure the smooth flow of the waterway and maintain the pressure of the waterway. On the other hand, it is to control production.

No matter how strong the wall of your dock is, no matter how much Ding Li you hide, you always need to farm to feed the population, and since you want to farm and produce, you must use water. Now that Huainan has banned private dais, the maximum punishment has risen to beheading. Therefore, there are very few township docks that dare to dig rivers and build private dais.

With the gradual completion of water conservancy projects in the territory, although small-scale cultivation can still rely on rural mountains and streams, as long as you want to expand production, you must rely on the official dai, and taxes are inevitable. Moreover, the deeper the rural foundation, the higher the dependence on this.

Of course, in an environment with a dense water network, it is impossible to completely ban private dais. However, even in the strict collection and supervision system of later generations, there are many examples of tax evasion. Huainan already needs to develop water conservancy, and by the way, it is regarded as a temporary tax collection system, and the ratio of input to output is already very good. As the local vitality gradually recovers in the future, it is natural that there will be new means to supplement it.

Huainan tax collection is diverse, you can donate money, food, equipment, or labor instead. And now from Liangjun to Huainan, it is a year of great construction, and many projects are waiting to be started, so the labor side will naturally become heavy.

For this point, Shen Zhezi also assured the villagers that they would definitely pay attention to the people's compassion in the future, but more than that, they were encouraged and inspired, praising them for building a wasteland of a hundred battles into a rich town, and the future generations will benefit from it, and the generations will be endless. As for the use of people's power, there will certainly be no convergence in the next few years, but with the expansion of the scope of control, the number of people that can be collected increases, and it is natural that there will be no need to work alone.

It was not until evening that Shen Zhezi left here and returned to Liang County under the escort of his own soldiers.
