Chapter 65
As a local bureaucrat with real power to promote the affairs of the Jiang and Han dynasties, without the "supervision" of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, and the cattle of the Wuhan Records Department wore the same pants with him, Zhang De's power was quite large.
If it is placed in the year of the great cause, I am afraid that someone will come and shout "lord", and then find a foundation or something.
But for the people of Chang'an, Wuhan is simply the heart of the imperial court and the pillar of the country. Paying taxes according to law is never delayed, it is simply intimate and could not be more intimate.
Moreover, in order to share the worries of the imperial court, he also took the initiative to undertake the resettlement of many disaster victims in Jingzhou.
"It's commendable, it's commendable."
Looking at a fleet of sand boats that had just arrived in Wuhan and transported guano mines, Lao Zhang was very emotional. Since Jia Fei discovered that guano ore has greatly improved the tillering of rice, China Resources and the large farms under the name of "Friends Shang" have used guano mines.
The biggest cost lies in the guano mines, mostly in the East China Sea archipelago, and a small number of islands in the Yellow Sea. More distant islands, such as the Whaling Sea east of the Korean Peninsula, are somewhat more than worth the loss. The High Latitude region is not easy to mine, not to mention, the number of pirates alone is enough to make ordinary transport ships give up going.
The transformation of Yunmengze is being carried out every day, and at the same time as the water conservancy facilities are promoted, how to make the fields increase production quickly and give full play to the soil power is a difficult problem in Wuhan.
The ball mill is running, and the guano ore is crushing. Under the rule of Wuhan, God pressed the dog......
"Observe, Jia Junpeng's test site in Hebei, how much more production has been increased? Really? ”
The staff members looked suspicious, after all, the yield per mu is six hundred and eight, and they have never heard of it.
"The case of six stones, in the end, is still a minority. However, Cangzhou's land is far inferior to Wuhan's, and three stones have doubled to six stones, which was not possible before, but now it is possible. Haven't you seen the effect of these things on fruits, vegetables? ”
"In the end, it's still melon and bean grains, don't count and observe."
As officials, they have always sought stability, and they are careful to sail a 10,000-year-old ship, and the guano mine is easy to use, but they have no confidence in how much rice can be increased, "These fertilizer flour can only be used by a few estates at the moment." However, if the fertility is not enough, or the seedlings are burned, it is not said that the harvest is lost, but the yield is reduced. That's six or seven hundred thousand acres of land, and two million stones of grain. ”
The responsibility is heavy, and if you are not careful, you have to get rid of it.
Lao Zhang nodded, he agreed with the staff's statement, although he himself knew that guano mines were useful, but this confidence was due to the asymmetry of information, and normally, the staff's opinion was normal.
"Don't wait for me, gentlemen." Zhang De looked at everyone, and then said, "Just in case, half of the rice in Jiaozhou, Huanzhou, and Aizhou will be transported into Suzhou warehouse this year." If Jianghan's output is really reduced, these grains will make up for this year's losses. ”
After hearing this, the staff immediately nodded, with the grain of the three states of the South China Sea, this has confidence. Risks and opportunities coexist, and this is where you can rise to the challenge.
"Last year, most of the states in the South China Sea increased production, and there should be no shortage of grain."
"At the end of the year, there was a batch of Jiaozhou rice, mostly used to make rice noodles and the like, with more than 200,000 stones, which is quite considerable."
"Observe, the boat from Jiaozhou, crossing the Yangtze River, should be fine this year."
Zhang De thought for a while: "Hang the signboard of the King of Jiangxia, Qian Gudang will not be embarrassed." ”
"Lijin Ambassador" Qian Gu is simply a pit, passing by the Yangtze River is not armed by black gold and black, it is really to have a relationship with Emperor Lao Tzu.
The signboard of Li Daozong, the king of Jiangxia, is occasionally useful, and when Qian Gu convulses with his subordinates, let alone the king of Jiangxia, Li Ke's boat of the king of Wu is still blocked.
If it weren't for the fact that Li Ke, the king of Wu, often took a microscope and sketched to Chang'an, would his emperor Lao Tzu think of his son.
Especially the biggest move recently is to move the capital, what is the war in the Western Regions, Henan counterinsurgency, Wuhan is highly productive, it is all a fart. In the face of the personal needs of His Majesty the Great and Bright and Correct "Emperor of the Ages" Tian Khan, everything must be put aside.
"This year, the main business is still in Ezhou." As Zhang Qian spoke, he distributed the plan made at the beginning of the year to the members attending the meeting.
Observing the council hall of the embassy, it is a room specially opened from the east wing, and two rooms are opened up to keep warm, and it is quite warm inside.
The ring-shaped conference table is also unique, except for the main seat slightly modified, the rest of the seats are not much different.
There are also documents for copying meetings, and there are also local errand boys outside, who come to serve tea and water. The cattle of the Wuhan Records Department next door call these refreshing and delicate little guys "secretary lang". Because of this title, a certain son of Yu Shinan, who came to Wuhan to find Zhang De and had something to do, almost chopped to death with a machete.
"Last year, I waited to go to the Yuezhou regions of Jingzhou, and several surrounding states and counties also knew that we were short of people, and it was not easy to do things at last year's price."
"For example, Yichun and Pingxiang in Yuanzhou, there are not a few broken households in the two counties. However, what these two counties wanted was to only send the fangs over, and they also wanted to ask us to borrow the 'militia group', saying that they were both Jingchu provinces, and brothers were also brothers, so how could they be separated from each other. ”
"If you want to talk about exchanges, it is also bento, Pingxiang walks in the water, this is a tributary of Xiangshui, there are two or three days, you can get to Changsha."
"Yichun is the Yuanzhou Governor's Office, there are more fields, and in recent years, sugarcane has been planted, and there is also a large gray sugar household, which is the famous 'Yushui Gang' on the Ganshui River. There have been more than 100 private fights with the Jiangzhou people in Hukou, how many people have died? ”
Someone on the side picked up a teacup and took a sip of tea, recalling: "There are always more than 200, and there are many fewer people who have died fighting for water in the past few years." There are many more who die for shipping. ”
"There are a lot of concealments."
"They are all land-sitting households, Hongzhou, Raozhou, Fuzhou, these three states, it is said that they are barren land. But the flow of the distribution clan in the past dynasties is mostly here, and after hundreds of years, I dare not say that it is the same as Henan and Hebei, but it is also a 'well-dressed and huge room'. and Jiangdong are each other's surfaces, such as the Chen family, the Yao family, the Yu family, etc., where is the lack of relatives here? ”
Everyone was either discussing or answering questions or complaining, but Zhang De didn't say much, just watched. For Pengli Lake, that is, the states and counties around Poyang Lake in later generations, it is not easy to follow the example of Jingzhou, Yuezhou, and Yanzhou, and do that little bit of "immigration".
Because of the special history and special geographical environment of hundreds of years, this place has created a relatively closed but relatively not backward local society.
The traditional knowledge elements here dare not say that they can grasp a handful, but it is not difficult to pick out a few seedlings at the level of the six ministry officials.
The Central Plains family has it, there are also it here, and some of them are even better, and there are not a few books in the private collection at home that are more authentic than the Cui family.
It is precisely because of the special history of hundreds of years that the "land snakes" here not only firmly control the land, but also control the "knowledge" and further control the population.
The group of "vicious dogs" from Ezhou next door want to grab land, spread knowledge and "traffick" people from them, which is simply ...... The sin is terrible.
It is no wonder that there are things such as Pingxiang and Yichun counties that want to let Wuhan people relocate Fangren.
"The solution is always thought up by people. The eastern capital originally had five surnames and seven wangpans, and there were not many houses built on land. often used things such as leaving Beijing and returning to their hometowns to threaten the Luoyang Order. Where are the five surnames in Luoyang today? ”
Zhang De crossed his fingers, just rested on the table, and then looked at the staff, "Since they want to send the troublesome fangs over, then send them over, why not?" What is the situation in Wuhan, don't you know in your own hearts? This wharf, shipyard, dock, transshipment warehouse, logistics company, cart dealership, etc., who cares whether you are a fang or a Han Chinese? Let's just say that the workshop in Hanyang, the Japanese people used it less, or the Silla people used it less? ”
"The observation is that it's just...... I always feel that I can't swallow this breath, so let them see the joke plainly. ”
"Jokes? Whoever has the last laugh, is it for a while? Now they have sold the fangs, not only earning our money, but also earning the performance of the 'cunning fangs', but when the fangs are no longer sold? ”
Zhang De said seriously to everyone, "Why does this mansion often treat me when I say words to the monarchs? ”
Everyone was stunned.
Zhang De said again: "Some of you come to Wuhan early, and some of you come to Wuhan late. Earlier Wuhan ...... Jiangxia plus Hanyang, how eloquent is Ding? And now? The registration is for the imperial court to see. How many people are working and living in Wuhan every year, haven't you thought about it yourself? ”
"Observe the lesson."
After listening to Zhang De's words, everyone came back to their senses.
