Chapter Seventy-Five: Chongdao
When the seal ribbon was in his hand, Lao Zhang changed his body, directly from the dragon crossing the river to the head snake. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThose big families in Hanyang City didn't react for a while. When he reacted, the queue to the Changshi Mansion was the old man of the platoon.
"Twenty years old is really rare."
As soon as he heard that Zhang De had mixed up such an errand, Xiao Shu, who didn't know the depths, was proud and excited, and pulled Zhang De to be presumptuous for three or five days, which gave Lao Zhang a chance to breathe.
"Since the Later Han Dynasty, to the former Sui Dynasty, there are not many such characters, but those from a poor family like me are rare."
In May, the cherries of Jingxiang are the size of lotus seeds, sweet and sour, and extremely delicious. Xiao Shu likes cherries the most, so Lao Zhang asked people to graft some varieties from Rome. After thousands of miles, hundreds of the original trees died, and in the end, seven or eight survived.
In addition to Mediterranean cherries, there is also a native species that Persian traders brought from the northern highlands of the Black Sea further north in order to appease Wiesel. This kind of cherry died even more miserably, more than 2,000 seedlings were planted before and after, and one survived.
How much is it to please Xiao Erniang, these nearly 3,000 native cherry species, almost more than 20,000 have been smashed.
When it grows out, Lao Zhang is ready to graft it out again, and then go to Denglai, Cangzhou to plant some.
"Is there such a humble family as Zhang Lang in the world?"
"You go to Luoyang, Chang'an and ask, will you look up to my Jiangshui Zhang family?"
Zhang De smiled, although Xiao Erniang is smart, she is a little woman after all, where do you know the depth of the family. It is the Xiao family, and others do not respect your Xiao Liang Xiao Qi royal status, but Xiao He of the Han Dynasty.
"Alas, how good would it be if there was no door in the world?"
"I'm afraid that one day, your little lady will look down on me."
"Go, go, go......"
Glaring at Zhang De, Xiao Shu swayed barefoot, leaning on Zhang De and sitting on the railing of the pavilion, eating cherries while looking at the red carp in the pool, "Zhang Lang." ā
"Huh?"
Lao Zhang reached out and caught the cherry pit she spit out, and then stuffed another one.
After not hearing Xiao Shu continue to speak for a long time, Zhang De couldn't help but look over, but saw that the woman was a little distracted, staring at the red carp in a daze.
"Demonic?"
"Huh? Phew, you're a demon. ā
Xiao Erniang stuck out her tongue and spit out the small cherry pit into the pool water, and with a ding dong, a carp turned over and swallowed the cherry pit.
"Is there something on your mind?"
"There's one thing, it's just ...... I just don't know where to start. Xiao Erniang bit her lip, her face was slightly red, and she wanted to speak again, which was obviously something difficult to talk about.
Seeing that she was embarrassed to say, Zhang De didn't ask, and asked a topic: "I built a Taoist temple in Linzhang Mountain, and the name of Li Chunfeng is hanging, since you are his disciple, if you feel that the weather is hot, you can go there to cultivate." ā
It is said to be a cultivator, but in fact it is to escape the heat. Jingxiang is a big steamer in the summer, and if the northerners are not so strong, when they arrive in such a place, it is not for nothing that they are not careful, and they will be sent half a life.
In addition, the nearby swamps are dense, and the poisonous mosquitoes are fierce one by one, which can make the most skilled doctors like donkeys.
In addition to the academy of the society in Linzhang Mountain, Zhang De also arranged villas and the like, plus the paper mill in Hanyang is about to start, the raw materials of bamboo paper of course need a large number of bamboo forests, if it is too far away from Linzhang Mountain, the supply of raw materials is not convenient.
"Sister, I'm going to come over from Jiangxia in the next few days, why don't we go to Guanli to rest and collect the wind together?"
Xiao Shu suddenly rolled her eyes and said.
"Isn't the eldest lady catching up with Cui Niangzi? In the past few days, I have traveled to the mountains and rivers, and I have written a lot of poems, how can I go to the Taoist temple? ā
"I'm her sister, how could I be willing to abandon my sister and play on my own?"
"What's this? I haven't been back to Jiangyin for ten years, and I can't remember what my two younger brothers looked like. If Uncle Tan hadn't brought them to Chang'an a few times, I really can't remember that there are two younger brothers. ā
"Lack of affection and unrighteousness, deserving of being known as 'talented but not virtuous'."
"Why do you think I'm named De?"
In fact, Zhang De has always been in contact with his two younger brothers, and he also let them worship under Yu Chang's door, for ten years, the letter will not be broken, but if you want Zhang De to perform a brother, friend and brother, where does he come from that idle time.
What's more, because of his responsibility as the patriarch, it is impossible for him to mention his life to his two minor younger brothers. The water in Chang'an is so deep, even if it is to be tempered, he will not let the two brothers come to Chang'an to be trained by that.
"Then I will say that it will be a good day, and when Zhang Lang rests, I will go to the villa in Linzhang Mountain."
"It's a Taoist temple."
Zhang De glanced at her, "I am the governor of the Anzhou Governor's Mansion, how can I go to any villa." But Shu Niang, you also know, I have always admired Taoism, and I have a good relationship with the real person of 'Huang Guanzi', so it is reasonable to visit him in the cave. ā
"You are not only unkind, but also incorruptible."
"Eat your cherries."
grabbed a handful of golden cherries and stuffed them into Xiao Shu's cherry mouth.
On the tenth day of the fifth month, I happened to inspect a swamp east of Linzhang Mountain, which is close to the Han River, and if the water from the swamp can be discharged to the Han River, it is equivalent to a fertile field with a radius of 20 miles.
The method of encircling the polder to create land has been implemented for several years, and now the local officials in the Jingxiang area like to use this method to brush up their political achievements.
No way, it's easy to use. Although the whole country is in a state of small number of people, this is not the case in Chudi, and the cultivated land is quite fragmented, so it can make the cultivated land together, which is quite helpful for reducing the loss of food production.
At the same time, the cultivation of polders is generally carried out in addition to the busy farming, and the local magistrate will pay an additional fee to operate. The mode of operation is also a precedent, one is to use the field after the success of future farming as collateral, and a person can reduce taxes by 80 acres, 50 acres and 30 acres; The second is that the local large households directly contribute money and efforts, and then get a batch of new land white deeds, the ownership is still the imperial court, but the right to use can be leased by a designated user.
The land in the Yangtze River basin, except for saline-alkali land, will not lose money no matter how it is planted. Last year, the scale of Huangzhou's enclosure was not large, but it also drained the water of a swamp, and the area around the swamp produced three and a half stones of rice per mu that year. The fertility of the soil is quite amazing.
There are also fangs who go down the mountain to learn from the Han people, and the government counts the heads and makes a roster, and the fangs who get the land also have to pay forty percent of the tax that year.
But even if they pay so many taxes, because the family relationship is not like that of the Han people, the fang people are more often the collective nature of the primitive social state or the monopoly of the slave family, so the labor force of the organization is much higher than that of ordinary Han families.
Spread evenly over a village of 500 people, a man actually undertakes more than 150 acres of land. That is to say, a fangren cottage can have 70,000 or 80,000 acres of new land after going down the mountain. Although most of these newly opened fields were swamps or swamps after dredging, Huangzhou's agricultural tax increased by more than 90,000 stone that year.
And this precedent is not the guiding policy of the imperial court, let alone a regulation, so the local magistrate can adjust it according to the actual situation.
As a result, some county orders "adapted measures to local conditions" in one breath and made thousands of acres of land on the "fangren". Then the "fangren" of the county commander's family not only paid forty percent of the tax to the imperial court, but also pulled sixty percent of the income to the family.
Lao Zhang's visit to the east of Linzhang Mountain this time was also to seek some benefits for the bureaucrats in Hanyang City, and it was a legitimate welfare.
After the inspection, Zhang De went to visit the cave of the "Yellow Crown" Taoist, and in this scene, several girls were surrounding Bingjian, eating cold drinks to cool off......
