Chapter Forty-Six: The Rise of the "Cold Gate".
How big is the southeast of Hailing County? That's probably all the arable land area in Suzhou, Changzhou. It's just that the Jiangbei in this year is not as cool as it was thousands of years later, because of the Yangtze River erosion and the sea, a large amount of land is actually useless except for long grass.
But just because it didn't work before doesn't mean it's useless now. A large number of artificial ditches excavated eight years after Zhenguan finally alleviated the waterlogging and siltation in the Jiangbei area.
Although it is difficult to connect the fields with the south of the Yangtze River in general, and is cut by a large number of lakes and rivers, the area of each "polder" is not large. The big ones are only five or seven thousand acres, and the small ones may be more than a hundred acres.
In the past, I may not have looked down on it, but because the mouth of the Yangtze River is a typical "land of fish and rice", it is much more convenient to use boats to and fro.
In particular, with the encroachment of a large number of cash crops on grain arable land in Suzhou, Chang and other places, agricultural technology has been forced to upgrade, and while striving to increase the yield per mu, they have also begun to look for suitable grain import areas.
Liuqiu, Korean Province, Fuso Islands, Nanhai ...... Although they can produce rice, "far water can't quench the thirst of the near", and the "new field" in Jiangbei in front of the eye has become the first stop for the migration of "landless farmers" for a while.
It's just that scattered "immigrants" don't have much impact, and they often only occupy sand fields, and the yield per mu is probably not even half of the output compared to the high-quality irrigated land.
According to normal development, in the absence of official promotion of water conservancy projects, it will take three to five hundred years to rely on the spontaneous resting of the fields by the people.
It's just that who would have thought that Emperor Lao Tzu would let the Korean Province send troops to Fusang, and the rivers, lakes and seas would be regarded as rising.
"What are the people of Jiangyin doing with the fields in Ninghai County?"
"Who knows? Maybe people can grow Taihu Lake rice in the sand? ”
"What are the good dreams......
In Jiangdu City, the entrance of the Jiangyou Hall is the "Mai Gong Ancestral Hall", and the left and right are the rooms and restaurants of the states and counties of Jiangyou, where the rich businessmen who speak various Jiangyou accents are there to discuss the excitement in Yangzhou Prefecture in the past few days.
The biggest excitement is nothing more than that the people of Jiangyin have made a big move again, as if they have eaten hundreds of thousands of acres of "waste land" in one go. The people who watched this method were inexplicable, wondering what the hell those fields soaked in the sea and wrapped in sand were.
Someone who was well-informed climbed directly to Wei Shuyu, and as soon as he heard that the governor of Yangzi County ordered Li County to be the governor of Yangzhou, he immediately wondered if it had anything to do with this matter.
In recent years, Jiangyin people have been very low-key, and they haven't made much noise, but whenever there is a move, they also look like they are stealing chickens and dogs, which makes people look down on a lot.
"This Lord Li of Yangzi County, if he is the governor of the Governor's Mansion, then our Yangzhou, wouldn't it be 'rain and dew'? Can you follow Yangtze County to get some benefits? ”
"Yikes! The governor of the Governor's Mansion can still manage Yangzi County? Can you still manage Hailing County? ”
"Oh, my brother's words may not be. In these years, the way to be an official in the market cannot be judged by the experience of the Wude Dynasty. ”
"Also, that Jiang Han observed the embassy, and he also managed many boundaries in one go."
"I heard that Zou Guogong is going to be a governor?"
"What do you mean by hearing? The news in the capital has long been spread. Governor of Hubei. ”
"Hubei?"
"There is Hubei, isn't there Hunan?"
"Hunan Civil Engineering Ambassador, I'm afraid you have forgotten who it is?"
"Filial piety, how can you forget this...... Hiss ......"
Everyone only touched the taste at this time, co-authored with Hubei Zhang Hongshen, Hunan Xu Xiaode?
Hongshen Gong is Zhang Liangfeng's uncle, and Xiaode Gong is Zhang Liangfeng's father-in-law...... The family is involved with "Yun Mengze"?
As for how the governor of Jiangxi, Fang Xuanling, is, it doesn't matter anymore.
In the past few years, the local rectification has really been like farming over and over again, but all the old people who have a little family background are now thinking about how to mix into low-key and oily foreign officials.
What did the original family do? In the imperial court, there must be people of all kinds of bureaucrats, and there must be slaves for the local officials in the six cao and six houses. Basically, all kinds of people in the local area have to rely on the big families to survive.
Now it is very different, after the "Great Push Order", Emperor Li not only has a good mouth, but also a large belly, and he does not see the appearance of being able to support death after eating and drinking. I heard that there were hundreds of people who assassinated Emperor Li, but Emperor Lao Tzu was still leisurely and continued to kill pigs.
Wude Dynasty is also a powerful five surnames and seven hopes, Zhenguan Dynasty has not seen a few years, and now he is obedient and obedient, more obedient than slaves and concubines.
At this time, the "advantage" of the small door and small household came out, and "the boat is good to turn around". The "cold door" managed the position of a local official, but picked up a bargain. As long as it works properly, not to mention the amazing oil and water, this little official's position is no problem when he is an ancestor and passes on the color body.
Even in Wuhan, this scene of the death of the father and the succession of the son is not unstaged.
Among the markets, such as the cattle and horse market, the sauce and vinegar factory...... But all local officials who have made a reputation come out, in addition to the apportionment of Shangguan, also depends on the reputation of the people. What is the boundary of Wuhan? It is not the realm of pursuing dreams, but of profit.
If a small official can bring stability to the market and ensure profit growth, then this is qualified, and this is what needs to be supported.
And on this basis, if the little official is in his right mind, takes a son to familiarize himself with the business, brushes his face in front of many local tyrants, and abdicates in the future, how can the businessmen ponder? Is it looking for someone who is irrelevant and unfamiliar, or is it looking for someone who has been dealing with you for several years and knows the roots?
In particular, although the functions and powers of the small officials in Wuhan are subdivided, because of the large size and large resident population, this makes the coming and going of a small official may involve hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of yuan of capital flow. In addition to the flow of funds, this little official may have to be familiar in front of thousands of people......
In this case, even if there may be a lot of opposition in the market, and they want to stuff their own ideas, but the number of merchants and workshops in the market reaches a certain number, and they finally "seek stability".
Therefore, the situation of "the son inheriting the father's business" and "the father dying and the son succeeding" cannot be eradicated in Wuhan.
This situation has led to the "cold door" that was originally going around among the foreign officials and "controlling" the positions of local officials, which is quite a bit of a time to operate. Even if the influence is not as powerful as that of the family, as long as the position is right, the relationship is harmonious, and the resources at hand can be used, it is not inferior to the family in this year.
Even if it is not as exaggerated as Wuhan, but the land of Jianghuai, the boundary of the sea and the river, the "cold door" can be regarded as gradually boiling out.
Although it is not necessarily to support the "poor family", the "cold family" has been indirectly "taken care of", which has given many speculators an opportunity.
A big move, big policy and big project may involve a large number of "poor" children. Even the Jiangshui Zhang family, even now, is still a "cold door" on the surface, and it is not compatible with the family. It's just that this "cold door" is at the moment of the Zhenguan Dynasty, and the strength that can be exerted is beyond people's imagination.
"You say, could it be Lord Li from Yangtze County...... What was promised to the people of Jiangyin? ”
"What do you mean?"
"Tsk, it's Lord Li who has made the history of the governor's mansion, in case the governor's mansion is promoted to one level and officially takes charge of Yangzhou, when the time comes, the southeast of Hailing County will be governed, if the agricultural administration is opened, isn't it Jiangyin people picking up a big bargain?"
"Huh?!"
"Hmmm......"
