Chapter 62: New Field Affairs
The ice in the Luo River melted, and the water became very clear and flowed very cheerfully. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The willow trees by the info river spit out new shoots and glow goose yellow, giving a breath of life. Unknown wildflowers are blooming under the trees, and everywhere there is the smell of spring.
The sun is shining, but it is full of gentleness, shining on the body like a girl's hand gently caressing.
Xu Ping stepped on the soft ground after melting the ice under his feet, and walked all the way along the bank of the Luo River. It didn't take long for the Luo River to branch off into a tributary, and where it flowed, there were large areas of newly built houses.
Yang Xuan pointed ahead and said, "Ducao, this is the newly built field?" Do things with the water of the Luo River? ”
"Not bad! Let's go and see. Now that spring has begun, the field affairs should have been busy. ”
Xu Ping said, and walked towards the large new house first. Yang Xuan and Chong Shiheng glanced at each other and followed closely.
The river and embankment have been built in Bishui County, and fortunately there were no accidents in winter, and everything went well. As soon as the winter passed, Yang Xuan handed over the errand of inspecting the river embankment to Bishui Zhixian, and he and Chong Shiheng returned to Luoyang.
Zhixian is known as the marquis of a hundred miles, and under normal circumstances, everything in the territory is unified, and it is greater than Zhizhou purely in terms of authority. For example, mining, canals, and so on, unless there are other officials on a large scale, they are all handled by the magistrate. Unlike the state, many of these errands are concurrently done by the general judge, but there are few in the state.
The notice about the re-establishment of households has been posted, which is milder than Xu Ping originally thought. For example, some economic land, such as mulberry fields, cotton fields, hemp fields and various fruit trees, has been lowered accordingly to encourage rural people to plant these cash crops. In the city, in order to reduce the resistance of money to households, the weight of self-occupied houses has also been reduced, and the assets such as households are mainly aimed at various commercial shops.
The measures aimed at Fangkuo households are completely contrary to Xu Ping's original assumptions, and he originally wanted to increase the weight of owner-occupied houses and reduce the weight of rental shops, so as to use policies to encourage urban residents to engage in commercial activities. was repeatedly persuaded by Wang Yaochen and others not to force those officials who were idle here into a corner all at once, and Xu Ping finally gave in.
Policies such as allowing companies to set up companies to evade funds and count households have also been announced, but they have not yet been inventoried, and few people have figured out the significance of doing so. On the contrary, some of the previous partners who ran a certain kind of business saw that after the establishment of the company, it would be supervised by the government, and there was a lot less quarrel, and several small companies were formed. However, although these companies were founded, no one knew what they meant, and they were no different from the old shops and the like.
In this era, the name Qianzhuang could not be used, and in the end, it was imitated by the official office of Yizhou, and Xu Ping set up the Jingxi Road Huiziwu. The name Huizi is different from Yizhou Jiaozi, and it also indicates that there is a time limit.
Because there is no need to issue Huizi to make a profit, the Huizi service on Jingxi Road is far more conservative than that of Yizhou Jiaoziwu, and there is no over-issuance, and the paper coupons issued to the market correspond to the copper coins deposited one by one. In principle, the paper coupons issued are actually certificates of deposit and cannot be circulated freely, and the transfer must be made to the association or an officially recognized exchange shop. However, for the sake of convenience, the amount below the five guan is stamped in advance by the council and can actually be circulated freely.
Seriously, this is not paper money, not even a bank note, but just an officially recognized certificate. At present, the industry and commerce of Jingxi Road are not developed, far from the extent of setting up a bank, which facilitates Xu Ping to adopt the most conservative policy. Finance has a leverage effect on the real economy, and once something goes wrong, it will be multiplied or even more than ten or dozens of times, and the steps should not be too big.
What Xu Ping is most concerned about now is the various new field affairs and the preparation of the three shops. All new policies are only changes in the relations of production, and without the support of the corresponding development of the productive forces, it is impossible to proceed smoothly. If the productive forces cannot develop, Xu Ping, who proposed these policies, is afraid that it will become a joke.
When they arrived at the new gate, the guards hurriedly saluted, and the public officials, who had already been supervised by the day, ran over.
took Yang Xuan and Chong Shiheng into the field, Xu Ping said to Chong Shiheng: "Zhongping, you have to pay more attention, when the affairs of the river canal are over, you will have to take care of these miscellaneous things." In the future, whether the transshipment division will do things smoothly or not depends on how well these field affairs are done. Well done, not only does the transfer department have money in its hands, but also has the power to mobilize at will. No matter what happens on Jingxi Road, with the manpower and material resources here, we are all at ease. ”
Chong Shiheng hurriedly promised: "The lower officials must take care of it wholeheartedly and not let Du Cao down!" ”
Xu Ping nodded and walked forward with the two of them.
Because of his hard work in the past few months, Xu Ping played Baoju, and Chong Shiheng restored the Beijing official in addition to the guilty body, and became the Weiwei Temple. Although the official quality is only promoted from the ninth rank of Mengzhou Sima to the eighth grade, this is a real official, which has a completely different meaning from the loose official of Mengzhou Sima, and Chong Shiheng is still very grateful to Xu Ping.
Walking through the empty compound, Yang Xue said suspiciously: "Why is Weili so stable?" In the past, the new field affairs in the capital were not like this, and the sound in it was shocking and lively. ”
Xu Ping said: "Luoyang is different from the capital, the goods made in the capital are mainly sold to the people in the capital, where are there so many people in Luoyang City?" The goods made by the field service here are mainly exported, and the big yard where we are standing now is the freight yard in the field service. When the place is big, of course it seems quiet, but when it comes to the place where the work is done, it is different. ”
As he spoke, he reached the end of the compound and saw a row of gates.
The three of them chose a random gate in the middle and walked in.
As soon as I passed through the gate, I heard a buzzing sound. The entrance is a wide avenue, and the ground is all paved with stone slabs, which is unusually flat. At this time, the avenue was divided into two rows, and the carriages were neatly packed. This car is a little smaller and simpler than what was produced in the capital back then, with almost no decoration. But more lightweight, one person can pull.
Yang Xuan looked at it and said to Chong Shiheng: "Zhongping, what is produced here is a carriage and a donkey cart. This car looks unremarkable, but it is extremely durable. And it can pull heavy objects, light and convenient, and I like it very much for business trips across the state and county. ”
Chong Shiheng nodded silently and remembered that he had also seen this carriage, but he didn't know how it was produced.
On both sides of the avenue are two rows of large houses, and every other section is a gate, and the roar of machinery can be heard from inside. Needless to say, the houses on both sides are the production workshops.
