Chapter 820: Urban Planning

A soft, warm breeze blows from the fields. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The golden wheat swayed, the fragrance of the soil and ears of wheat made people feel refreshed, and after staying in the city for a long time, Xiao Ming occasionally came out to walk around and found that there were scenery everywhere.

"What the emperor said is very true, but it's a pity that the number of this harvester is too small, and it can only be used in the plantation at present." Zhan Xingchang picked up an ear of wheat and looked at it.

Because of the use of chemical fertilizers, the wheat planted by the people this year is significantly fuller than before, and he can't help but smile a little.

Xiao Ming rubbed out the wheat grains in his hand, he pinched them in his mouth and took a bite, the wheat grains were very hard and had a wheat fragrance.

Zhan Xingchang saw it, and was a little surprised, he said: "I didn't expect the emperor to identify wheat." ”

"I'll do more than you think." Xiao Ming said with a smile that wheat often depends on the amount of moisture in it before harvesting, and if there is more moisture, it means that it is not ripe enough.

Zhan Xingchang also laughed, he never regretted coming to Qingzhou from Chang'an seven years ago, because he always believed that Xiao Ming was a person worth following, and now everything proves that he is right.

Looking at the harvester, Xiao Ming said: "But the problem you just said will soon be no longer a problem, I have arranged to set up an agricultural machinery workshop, and in the future, horsepower harvesters and horsepower seed drills will be sold, and then your government can encourage the production team to raise funds to buy these machinery, so that there is not much silver to be distributed to the people." ”

Zhan Xingchang thought about it for a while, and had to say that this was a good idea, so that the agricultural machinery workshop could be profitable, and the people could save a lot of effort and cultivate more fields.

"The emperor is wise, and the lower officials will start to do this when they go back." Zhan Xingchang replied in surprise.

After watching the use of the harvester for a while, Xiao Ming and Zhan Xingchang returned to the ridge, and he said to Zhan Xingchang: "After the grain is harvested this time, the government will collect agricultural taxes as soon as possible, but the soldiers on the front line will not be hungry. ”

Zhan Xingchang nodded slightly, he knew this, in fact, after the Northern War, the people in the land of the various vassal kings were so ruthlessly looted by the various vassal kings that they were now very embarrassed, and the officials of the imperial court often asked the imperial court for food instead of giving food.

The situation did not improve slightly until the end of the year, but the prefectures were barely self-sufficient, and the taxes paid to the imperial court were very small.

Generally speaking, the imperial court relied on Qingzhou Mansion in this war, and in addition to Jinling Mansion, after all, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and Jinling Mansion is a rich place, coupled with the implementation of the law change, this area that has always been heavy on commerce quickly recovered.

According to the information provided by Pang Yukun, the industrial and commercial development of Jinling City is very fast, after all, compared with Qingzhou, the geographical conditions of Jinling City are more unique.

"Xia Guan remembered." Zhan Xingchang's expression was serious, this matter of military rations cannot be ambiguous, he is now the prefect of Qingzhou, and it can be said that it is a great responsibility to govern the six states in Qingzhou Mansion.

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, after the establishment of the prefecture, he added the official position of the prefect, which is equivalent to the modern governor, and the assassin is equivalent to the modern mayor.

The reason why he did this was to streamline the cumbersome government affairs, if there was no prefect, the cabinet would have to face the affairs of the large and small states and counties of the Great Chongqing State, and the huge government affairs would be too much for them to bear.

After the prefect was established, the prefect was in charge of the affairs of each prefect, and if the prefect could not make up his mind, he would consult the cabinet, which was simple and clear.

After telling Zhan Xingchang about the grain and grass, Xiao Ming returned to Qingzhou City under the protection of the guards.

As soon as he entered the city gate, he saw the builders of the camp demolishing the walls of the people's houses.

During the time when the soldiers were fighting on the front line, Xiao Ming was not idle, and he did not fall behind in government affairs, teaching, and scientific and technological research and development.

This demolition of the wall was something he had decided at the court meeting two days ago.

With the development of industry and commerce in Chongqing, the old city structure is no longer suitable for Qingzhou, and the current Qingzhou city should develop from a feudal city to a modern city.

After all, now that the railway has been connected to Qingzhou City, this city should have more advanced planning, such as residential areas, commercial areas, theaters, stadiums, etc.

"Your Majesty, it is said that as soon as the planning map of Qingzhou City came out, the price of land in the city jumped upward, and some people in the city sold their houses and became rich overnight." Qian Dafu said with a smile.

Xiao Ming smiled helplessly, sometimes he had to admit the fact that large-scale demolition and construction are sometimes indeed the driving force of economic growth, but at the same time he was also vigilant.

He said: "You will go to Zhan Xingchang later to bring a message, just say that let him suppress the price of this land, and you must not condone the merchants to invest all their money in this, otherwise how will the industry of Dayu develop." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qian Dafu responded, he understood Xiao Ming's thoughts, the emperor's mouth is often about rejuvenating the country through industry, and now the industry of Dayu has just started, and the profit-seeking businessmen will throw the silver on the real estate, and the silver invested in the industry will naturally decrease. ”

Thumbs up, Qian Dafu said: "The emperor is far-sighted, from the perspective of the old slave, this is not to let the land price rise, otherwise although the government has benefited for a while, this will destroy the industry of the Great Chongqing Kingdom." “

"Sometimes I think you see a lot more of the long term than some officials." Xiao Ming praised him, Qian Dafu mentioned the land price not out of the mood, but deliberately reminded him.

Qian Dafu was happy, he said: "This is all learned from the emperor, and the old slaves who have been with the emperor for an hour feel that they have benefited a lot." “

"You're getting better at sycophants." Xiao Ming glanced at the wall that was being demolished, but he also understood that it was impossible not to let it rise at all, all he needed was to control it within a reasonable range.

After all, if the people don't sell their real estate, businessmen can't settle in the business district, and from his point of view, sometimes they can't be wishful thinking.

Along the central concrete avenue, the carriage headed straight south, and at the end of the road was his palace.

This morning's trip was to inspect the farming, and there was another important thing in the afternoon's business, which was the rubber he had been waiting for for a long time.

In fact, last year, the Dutch brought back three ships of rubber and some rubber tree seeds, during this period Lu Tong handed over the task of rubber vulcanization and shaping to the School of Chemistry, a person's energy is limited, Lu Tong and Lin Wentao can not specialize in everything, can only share the work with others, but also for the Great Chongqing country to cultivate more talents.
