In the summer, the newly built reservoir in Chuzhou was reinforced, and a total of 20,000 people were mobilized for the project, half of whom were farmers who offset taxes, and the other half were mountain residents in remote areas like "Mulan Village". The latter is guaranteed by the Changshi Mansion, and new fields can be opened up under the reservoir for water conservancy, and according to the system of the Metropolitan Governor's Office, it can be exempted from taxes for five years.

On this basis, relying on the reservoir, there is an atmosphere of intercropping with melon, bean, cotton and wheat.

This is different from the previous Hedong in Hebei Province to persuade farmers to plant beans and wheat, this time it is because of the "moral politics" of Li Ke's Dadu Governor's Office, so planting is the most profitable and the least risky, and farmers in the mountains take the initiative to plant.

"The price of soybean cakes has also risen this year, and it is worth two hundred dollars with one stone."

The treasurer of the Changshi Mansion had dark skin and an old complexion, but he could still see the blood of the young man. Although he is a calculator, because he often goes to the countryside, the horizontal knife handle on his waist has long been polished and shiny. The handle of the knife wrapped in cowhide thread is actually worn bald.

In the entire Governor Shi Mansion, as long as they are diligent officials, most of them have more than a dozen lives on their hands. It's either a strongman who blocks the road and robs, or an ignorant fangman who doesn't know what to call an ignorant fang.

"Isn't there a swine fever in Xianchuan County in the beginning of spring? Why is the price of bean cake still rising? ”

"Although two or three thousand pigs died, the price of meat is still rising this year, and now Chang'an pork is in short supply. Not only Chang'an, but also some Hu merchants in the Western Regions are waiting for the ham to be sold, and a salted ham of the year can be exchanged for a Dun horse in the Western Regions. If the heart is black, it is not for nothing to change a camel. ”

"How much meat does Chang'an eat?"

"There are always 20,000 catties of raw pork a day, so that you are very different from Chang'an people now. Nine years ago, there were still people farming in the city, and now there is no such downfall. Most of the acres of land are built sheds, and weavers cannot be recruited without meat, and the market is much stronger than Xianyang, not to mention Taiyuan. There are still child laborers in Taiyuan, and if there are child laborers in Chang'an, most of them are heads sold by dental shops, and they are white people, so they are not so cold. The same is true, two meals a day, the market with meat can make up enough looms, Su Si Shu silk does not refuse, can have meat, can be regarded as a first-class rich proprietor. ”

"Right now, King Wu is still in Anlu, otherwise when he arrives in Henan, he will have to pay sixty percent of the annual tax for planting beans, and he will not be able to draw it."

Soybean planting is quite cost-effective, in addition to saying that you can eat a bowl of delicious salted tofu brain, crude and refined feed is also inseparable from soybeans. In fact, soybean meal is not only eaten by pigs, sheep, cattle and chickens, but also similar to coal mines, iron mines, those mining slaves, supplementing protein, and most of them are also this kind of goods.

Moreover, compared with rice, for example, the Ling rice promoted in the mountainous areas, that is, upland rice, the yield per mu is only one stone. But if you plant soybeans and wheat instead, you can generally have two stones.

It's just that soybeans are eaten directly, the effect of farting is too strong, and flatulence, as food, it is the coarse grain of coarse grains.

"After going down and running away from the two counties, now the farmers also know the benefits of association. A single family, counting 200 acres of land, the price of grain in the past few years is really not selling. If it is subcontracted to China Resources, not to mention the effort, China Resources will not only include taxes, but also work to make up for it. After calculation, the income of peasant households in the two counties is much higher than that of the neighboring counties. It's not as good as five, but it's not different from the well-off home of the state administration. ”

"That's different."

Lao Zhang shook his head and reminded his subordinates, "The foundation of the farmers and craftsmen in Chuzhou Prefecture and County can have such benefits is inseparable from the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Changshi Mansion, China Resources and other big businesses and Caoyun. The essence is still 'to make up for the deficiency with more than loss', and the Changshi Mansion will take the "surplus" of the China Resources to make up for the "shortage" of the farmers and craftsmen. However, the 'surplus' of China Resources is not as good as the 'surplus' of the two capitals. Therefore, Denglai in Cangzhou and Cangzhou is not a common case, but a special case, which must be treated differently. ”

The subordinates all looked thoughtful, Zhang De nodded, and continued: "In the future, you may also have the opportunity to take charge of the civil affairs of a place, and people often say that 'Baili Hou' is the head of a county. The stones of other mountains can attack jade, but you should also avoid Handan toddlers, let alone carve boats for swords. ”

"Let's go down and understand, thank you for your teachings."

"It's not a teaching."

Lao Zhang smiled, very improper, "In fact, it is a truth that can be understood at a point." Now even the idol of the court in Jianzhou County knows that the pig is fattened and killed, so he can catch more. Those domineering officials, but when they have a chance to get off, they will do everything, and their appearance is too ugly. Recruit deposed ambassadors, come to involve relatives, and be not allowed to be officials for generations, if it is not five surnames and seven hopes, what is the use of being such a scholarly family? Now even the castrations in the inner government know that if you want to make more money, you have to let people drive the ship into Caoyun, and then set up a card to collect money, which is both fair and honest, and not guilty. ”

As a long history, it's okay for him to make such jokes, but it's a pity that his subordinates can only play haha, and they can't follow the chief to say yes yes, the chief taught us how to make money as an official It's really a great empowerment.

Seeing that his subordinates looked embarrassed, Lao Zhang also coughed dryly: "Ahem, the henchmen of the court, the pillars of the country, you still need to work hard!" ”

"Go down and remember the teachings of the envoy."

At the end of the regular meeting of the Changshi Mansion, Lao Zhang, who was drinking tea, was full of emotion, shook his head and said: "Really, Lao Tzu passed on a little life experience to you, but you can't afford to joke, and you are bored." ”

It's boring, but the officials and staff of Canzhou are easy to use, but they have spread a little reputation in Huainan Shannan. Even the leader of the fangs, there is a livelihood in the village, and he is also thinking about going to the county seat, or Hanyang or Xianchuan, and when he meets the chief of staff in the county, he calls "adult", "grandpa" and "teacher" in his mouth, which is really embarrassing.

But it's not without benefits, the fangman girl is really coquettish to the bone, and the waves are so powerful, even some married officials who work for thousands of miles can't hold it for a while. So there are some "" works came out, but fortunately, Zhang De himself lacks virtue in the five elements, and he is not embarrassed to grasp any "style problems".

On the contrary, it has made a great contribution to the integration of the nation and the integration of the Han Fang.

The characteristic of Fangzhai is that the head is authoritarian, but this authority has become bullshit in the face of the state authority of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, whether it is intentional or unintentional, Fangzhai is a migrant worker group with a higher degree of organization and a wider usage rate than mountain people such as "Mulan Village".

In the past two years, it can be regarded as having established a reputation, and it is the governor of the Governor of Chu, the Shi Mansion and the non-compilers of the two counties.

And because of the strange names of the fangs, these people who are not compilers are called "masters" at the time.

In addition to the great popularity of the yamen in the surrounding areas, the big businesses with a trade distance of more than 1,000 miles are also quite sought after. The annuity is extremely high, and there are dividends for special large orders, which is very in line with the development law of the market.

On the summer solstice of the twenty-third year of Zhenguan, after the official start of the collection of Caoyun Li Jin, the demand for Master Chuzhou further exploded. It has even developed into a powerful counterfeit in the name of "Chuzhou", this situation is not something that Zhang De can control, it is really the Caoyun Yamen Transit Ambassador and Dushui Ambassador, as well as various business names, Yamen and militia groups in the prefectures and counties around the canal, more or less, all have the existence of the China Resources Department, and there is the China Resources Department, there is the existence of the real and fake "Master of Chuzhou".

Then, when the "Master of Chuzhou" on the fleet went to Yangzhou to find that the "Master of Chuzhou" who collected the money was a township party, a classmate, and a colleague in the old days, the original 200,000 yuan of goods was reported as 100,000 yuan, or ten cargo ships were reported as five merchant ships and five villager fishing boats, which is also a very scientific and reasonable thing.

"Damn, this person really won't change for thousands of years."

Lao Zhang looked at the summary of the news at hand and felt that the word "public relations" would suddenly pop up in winter.
