Section 262 Rewards and Benefits

"Bring Guanzhong Kanyu!" Liu Che commanded Wang Dao.

It didn't take long for Wang Dao to come over with a thick silk cloth in his hand, and several eunuchs unfolded the huge Guanzhong Kanyu map together.

There was also a maid who stepped forward with a lantern to illuminate the entire map for Liu Che's ministers.

Liu Che looked at the map.

Although the level of surveying and mapping of this map is far from being comparable with the civilian maps of later generations. But at least, the whole picture of Guanzhong was shown in Liu Che's eyes.

From the map, it is very clear that the entire Guanzhong is essentially a river valley that gradually opens from west to east.

The Wei River runs across the north and south sides.

The north of the Wei River belongs to the plain area, the terrain is open, and the water and soil are fertile.

Zheng Guoqu crosses it.

However, the Weinan area is a typical hilly landform, with narrow mountains and plateaus, strict land salinization, and basically no water conservancy facilities.

However, the Weinan area occupies more than half of the total area of Guanzhong.

Liu Che thought about what he saw and heard on the way to Hedong.

It is obvious that the difference between Weinan and Weibei is obvious.

"Zhang Tang ......" Liu Che turned around and asked: "Do you know, what is the difference between the land price in Weinan and Weibei in this Guanzhong?" ”

"The family is ......" Zhang Tang bowed and said: "I heard that the land price in Guanzhong is one gold per mu all year round, and the price per mu near Gyeonggi is even ten gold......

"The specific ministers don't know very well, please summon Yan Xiong, he may know ......" Zhang Tang lowered his head and replied, but he was uneasy in his heart, he had basically been studying Han law all these years, and he had no time to care about civil affairs.

The present situation and future of farmers in Guanzhong. He has never seriously investigated, that is, he has spent more than a month or two investigating in the last month or two, but an official eunuch like him. has always been an errand boy in the yamen, where would he really care about these details?

But at this moment, Zhang Tang was quite frightened.

What Legalists are most afraid of is that there are doubts on them, and they can't answer them.

"I should pay more attention to these ...... in the future" Zhang Tang thought to himself: "The family cares about these details the most, I should be familiar with them all, and I can't be like this today......"

"Then summon Yan Xiong to come in and ask questions......" Liu Che shrugged his shoulders, not caring that Zhang Tang didn't know the answer to this question. Manpower is sometimes poor.

Immediately, Liu Che's heart also appeared with the information about Yan Xiong that he remembered.

Yan Xiongguan is a person from Zhonghua Yin County, and neither his ancestors nor his parents have ever been officials. It was only in his generation that he got involved in officialdom.

At first, he served as the county lieutenant of Huayin County, responsible for the repair of Huayin water conservancy, and was later promoted to the governor of Yiyang County, because of his prominence in the Lingyi worksheet. Last year was taught as B. Enter the list of housekeepers in Shaofu.

"This name seems familiar, as if I've heard it somewhere......" Liu Che thought as he touched his chin and recalled.

Finally, he remembered.

"The digger of the Dragon's Head Canal!"

More than ten years later, during the first year of Jianyuan, this person first presided over the excavation project of the Bao Chuan Road, but gave up because the construction was too difficult and the water flow was too rapid.

But he also rebuilt the ramp with Hanzhong Taishou Zhang Wei.

The so-called praise slope road is an allusion to the 'Ming plank road. The plank road in and out of Shu County in the dark Chen Cang' was also the passage for Zhuge Liang to go out of the Northern Expedition of Shu Road in later generations.

Then. This man presided over the excavation of the Longshou Canal during the period from Yuanguang to Yuanzhen.

Thus opened the climax of the Han Dynasty's construction of water conservancy in Guanzhong.

In the decades since, more than a dozen water conservancy projects have been built in Guanzhong, covering almost all the water systems in Guanzhong.

Liu Che thought about this, and then looked at the Guanzhong water system on the map, which was still almost blank.

In fact, before the construction of Zhengguo Canal, the Weibei area was not as good as Weinan!

Although Weibei was a plain at the beginning, but because it was an impact plain, so the land salinization was very strict, and after the Zhengguo Canal was dug, the 45,800 hectares of land irrigated by it became the most fertile and highest yield land in Guan.

"After looking at the construction of water conservancy, there is still a lot to be done!" Liu Che thought to himself.

But at this moment, he could only look at it, and did not dare to move the idea of building a channel.

Because, at this time, the manpower and material resources required to build a complete large-scale channel were simply not something that he, the crown prince, could afford.

At the beginning, when the Qin State built the Zhengguo Canal, almost the whole country was mobilized, not to mention the financial and material resources spent, just the people were hundreds of thousands!

And Liu Che knew very well in his heart that at this juncture, his father would not agree to him to invest valuable manpower and material resources in water conservancy construction projects.

At present, the focus of the Han court is still on guarding against the Xiongnu and attacking the Kwantung vassal states.

Therefore, don't think about building water conservancy channels or anything for the time being!

However, it is still possible to make a plan first, let your subordinates organize research and survey the terrain and landforms, and carry out some preliminary preparations.

When thinking like this, a young official came to Liu Che under the guidance of Wang Dao, bowed down, and kowtowed: "The little minister Yan Xiong came to see the family, I don't know what the family has to call the ministers to come and order?" ”

"I heard that Qing has been serving in various counties in Guanzhong for a long time, and he is a pro-people official...... Liu Che asked Wang Dao to get him a seat, and after letting him kneel down, he asked: "Do you know the price of acres and the actual situation of land output in Guanzhong?" ”

Yan Xiong bowed down and replied: "Back to the family, as the minister knows, the price of a mu of land in Weinan is roughly between 5,000 and 8,000 yuan per mu, and the price of an mu of land in Weibei is about 20,000 yuan, as for the Gyeonggi Lingyi area, it is difficult to say, one mu in Changling is worth more than 30,000 yuan, one mu in Nanling is worth 40,000 yuan, if it is Yiyang County, the price of one mu in the last year was 50,000 yuan!" ”

Liu Che listened to it with a feeling of housing prices like the imperial capital of the Celestial Dynasty in the later generations.

The closer you get to Chang'an, the higher the price of land becomes.

"Don't I still have a few rebellious Zhuangzi in my hands...... Liu Che pondered: "If you sell it, you can get back tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars!" ......"

But just think about it.

How can these Zhuangzi be sold?

Who would dare to take over!

But. This is also a relatively normal price.

The hedgehog population near Chang'an is nearly one million, and it is not surprising that the price of every inch of land is not surprising.

Although the confiscated Zhuangzi could not be sold, Liu Che thought of a way to make money.

He is now in charge of the four cities of Chang'an.

Take any of them out. Under the pretext of renovation, the whole thing was relocated and renovated, and by the way, the two nearby Luli houses were sorted out, and the money rolled in after learning the methods of the real estate developers of the Celestial Dynasty in the future.

Further, the medical school that is pure and the medical school that will be opened in the future can also be used, how can the school district houses in later generations be sold?

Think so. Liu Che felt that he was a little evil.

Putting down those ridiculous thoughts in his mind, Liu Che said: "Yan Qing knows the situation in Guanzhong very well...... Seventy-five counties in Guanzhong, how many counties has Qing visited? ”

"Go home. Xiaochen has only been to eleven of them! Yan Xiong kowtowed and replied.

"That lonely will give Qing a task, from today onwards, take people to run all the seventy-five counties in Guanzhong and go deep into the pavilion. Take a closer look. Give Lone a report when you come back! Liu Che said solemnly: "Lone will let Wang Dao send someone to assist, and in addition, he will give Qing Bai a thousand pieces of paper as a record paper......

Liu Che looked at Ji Di and Zhang Tang, his face was different, and he said, "The three Aiqing, just help from the side, and send all the documents to Gu here after sorting them out......"

"No!" Ji Di and the others hurriedly kowtowed.

And that's when they finally knew. The prince was not satisfied with their work during this time.

Otherwise, a new person would not have been called to take charge of the matter.

"It's ...... to think about it" Yan Yi thought in his heart: "In the past, I only read the documents of Shaofu and Internal History, and I didn't go to a place to check them. This is indeed my omission, the prince of the present, but he values the ...... of those who can penetrate into the place."

The others were not stupid, and immediately thought of the characteristics of the officials that Liu Che liked in the past, without exception, those who were born in places and could do things with their heads down were more favored.

This prince is very similar to his imperial grandfather!

As the saying goes, what kind of lord there is, what kind of courtiers there will be.

The top is good, and the bottom is effective.

The characteristic of the bureaucracy is that it is only superior.

To put it simply, a lord who is very happy, if you don't say all the officials below, at least most of them are sycophants.

In the same way, although it is impossible for all the ministers under him to obey the law and be loyal to the king, at least at least, everyone will behave like it.

Liu Che naturally knew this, just look at the Celestial Empire.

During the reign of Taizu, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were red.

Taizong reigned with black cats and white cats, laughing at poverty and not smiling at prostitutes.

During the reign of King Sejong, everyone wore three watches.

Zhongzong reigned on the left and on the right, and the divine beast hung on his chest.

It can only be said that this is the urine nature of bureaucrats!

Therefore, he just knocked Ji Huang and the others with his hand, and then he stopped at the point, and after waving his hand to let Yan Xiong retreat, he said: "The autumn harvest is coming, all the Qings are staring at the point, and if there is any situation, report to Gu at any time!" ”

"In addition, the communication with the Shaofu Yamen is about to start now, Ji Di, you are responsible for dealing with the Shaofu!" Liu Che ordered.

Ji Huang has something to do with Shaofu, of course Liu Che knows, this can be regarded as a test for Ji Huang.

Then, Liu Che ordered some other things.

Let Zhang Tang coordinate the Inner History Yamen, given that the Internal History Order has not yet been appointed, Liu Che asked Zhang Tang to temporarily communicate with the Inner History Yamen of the Internal History Yamen.

In addition, Ju Meng is responsible for recruiting the rangers in Anguan, integrating them and maintaining the order of the autumn harvest.

Liu Che naturally knew that the procurement of protective grain in Guanzhong this time basically did not have the affairs of Chang'an and its nearby Gyeonggi Lingyi District, and the biggest shortage of grain in Guanzhong was here.

Therefore, in the local counties and townships far away from Chang'an, it is the focus of this grain purchase.

And the big businessmen used to always collude with the old boys in Guanzhong at this time, bullying and dominating the market, and forcing them to buy and sell.

Therefore, if you want this grain purchase to go smoothly, you must first cut off the connection between the merchant and the bully and hooligan.

In addition, just in case, Liu Che also asked Ju Meng to prepare, and if he couldn't do it, he would flip the table.

In ancient China, between rulers and merchants, once they couldn't play anymore, it was normal to flip the table.

Well, playing scoundrels is one of the talents of China's rulers.

In China anyway. Money has no sword and no power.

…………………………………………

Following.

The people living in Sixian Garden, as soon as they woke up, found out. The land and house that I rented changed owners.

So, almost everyone in high spirits of the whole family set out together, ran to the front of the nearby palace to kowtow to thank him and ask to see the new master, the crown prince Liu Che.

For the people living in Shanglin Yuan, their favorite thing is that the land they rented was divided into the name of the prince.

The former prince was the son of today, and the territory in this forest garden is still exempt from land tax, and the forced labor or something is even less pitiful. You don't even have to pay the poll tax!

Because, the crown prince of the Liu family will see the people in his own territory as his own people.

In other words. It was the tenant farmers in the prince's domain who planted the land for the prince.

The prince's tenant farmers were treated better than ordinary yeoman farmers or even small landlords.

Who doesn't know that the tenant farmers in the past territory are still rewarded with meat, rice, and even money every year.

Therefore, the people of the entire Sixian Garden. As soon as he found out that his master had become a prince.

Immediately, they all blushed with joy. Can't help yourself.

Because, everyone knows how many benefits there are to become a prince's tenant farmer!

The Chinese people are so simple and cunning.

No one would be so stupid as not to know how to fight for such a thing as benefiting themselves and their children and grandchildren.

So, when Liu Che woke up, he heard the bustling sound outside.

"Wang Dao, what's going on?" Liu Che called Wang Dao over and asked.

"Returning to Your Highness. Two or three thousand people came from outside, saying that they had come to greet you and thank you......" replied Wang Dao.

Liu Che was stunned. He hasn't posted the notice yet, how do these people know?

But he didn't have time to think about it, and immediately ordered: "Change the clothes for the orphans, send the order to the drama Meng, be careful to maintain order, and don't hurt the orphans!" ”

For the common people, especially the peasants, as long as the rulers of the past dynasties are not evil, stupid, and tyrants, they are very particular about winning over and being close to the people, at the very least, the posture is very sufficient.

Even Chongzhen said before hanging himself: I will also cover my face when I die, don't hurt my people, how can Liu Che not even be able to compare with Chongzhen?

So, he put on the crown crown robe, and under the protection of a large group of guards, he left the palace.

I only saw the gate of the palace, and there were two or three thousand people kneeling densely.

Basically, all the people who live in Sixian Garden have come.

Liu Che scratched his head, adjusted his breathing, took a step forward, walked out of the tightly guarded guard wall, bowed to the people all over the ground, and said: "How can he be lonely, how can he be lonely, but his father and fellow villagers are so loving, it is really embarrassing and lonely!" ”

In the Han family, basically only the queen mother of the royal family, the prince and the crown prince, are qualified to say these four words.

Others can't really say that.

Who called this Liu Bang shouted?

Therefore, when they heard Liu Che's words and saw his clothes and ornaments, the people kowtowed one after another: "Xiaomin and others respectfully ask about the health of the family, and I wish the family to be ......a hundred years old."

Liu Che hurriedly said: "The wishes of the fathers and fellow villagers are lonely! Come, pass on the order of the orphan, exempt all the fathers and elders of Sixian Yuan from the field tax for three years, and Sixian Yuan where the annual income is less than 5,000 yuan, there are men in the family as soldiers, or other difficult conditions, you can rent deer herding, each household can rent three deer male and female, and in addition, give each household a thousand dollars, a piece of cloth, a pound of meat, and two pounds of fish! ”

These things were prepared for a long time, but they were just said in advance.

But as soon as the people heard this, they immediately knelt down happily and kowtowed: "Xiaomin wait to thank the family for the generous gift, and then worship the family to Jin'an!" ”

Being complimented, bowed and embraced by two or three thousand people, this feeling is the first time Liu Che has enjoyed it in his three lives.

Immediately, his whole body was crooked, and he didn't know where he was.

"No wonder the Jin family has gone from big fat to three fat, and they are all clinging to power...... Liu Che sighed: "This feeling, once you enjoy it, is it still a person who wants to give up?" ”

Looking at these people, Liu Che also had some special feelings in his heart.

In fact, from now on, these people will firmly adhere to his Liu Che label.

In his previous life, after Liu Rong's death, thousands of people in his prince's territory spontaneously wept in front of his spirit, and more than a dozen families guarded the spirit.

Piglet's Feather Guard. The original team was trained by a good boy selected from his prince's domain.

Liu Che's emperor's father's current personal guards and guards were basically selected from the original prince's territory.

In terms of loyalty and loyalty, there is no other place like one's own direct domain. And the people who have received their favor and kindness are higher.

It is no exaggeration to say that the basic plate of every prince of the Han family originally originated from his own prince's territory.

Therefore, in Liu Che's eyes, these people in front of him are not only his people, but also the cradle of his loyal ministers in the future.

Liu Che looked at it, and among the two or three thousand people, children accounted for about four or five hundred. There were about 200 boys.

So he said: "Thank you for the love of my father and fellow villagers, I can't repay you for my loneliness!" ”

"Shuyun: If you are upright, you will also be meritorious! From now on. The lonely club will let people give lectures every day in the front of the imperial village, teach literacy and break texts, and all children over the age of four and under the age of fourteen in the Sixian Garden can go to listen to the lectures......" Liu Che threw this bombshell.

Immediately the people began to talk about it.

Study?

Who doesn't want their children to have knowledge and a future?

Jackie Chan is a tradition in Chinese society.

But......

Most people are hesitant.

It is necessary to provide for a student who is out of work. That's hard!

Don't say anything else. As a result, there is one less laborer in the family, and the impact will be greater!

At this time, half-grown children will also start to help in the fields, and at the age of 12 or so, they will be able to jump into the water and plough the ground!

Everyone knows that reading is good, but no one can guarantee that their children will be able to succeed when they read.

And the landlords and the rich and powerful businessmen can send their children to study, even at the cost of blood, because they gamble. If the eldest can't read the book, then the second will be the second. The second child can't do it, the third child can, there is always one who can come out.

But the peasants, especially the tenant farmers, could not afford to gamble, and if they failed, it was the beginning of the tragedy of the whole family!

Liu Che thought about it, and simply threw out another benefit, he said: "Please don't worry about the old folks, all the children who go to listen to the lecture will be provided with a meal every day, and in addition, they can take a day off every five days, so that the children can go home to help!" ”

Liu Che looked at the people and said affectionately: "Please remember Gu's words: knowledge, change fate!" ”

In the Hereafter, knowledge may not change destiny.

But in this pre-AD era, knowledge is bound to change fate.

A literate person can at least be an accountant or shopkeeper for a big businessman, and those who have a good fortune can become an official, or even a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister.

Zhu Maichen is a typical example!

But Liu Che also knows that the biggest thing he can do now is only second.

As his crown prince, it is already his limit to implement a compulsory education for this Sixian Garden.

If you want to popularize and expand again, you are looking for death!

Even if he becomes emperor in the future, it will be the same!

This is because the revenues and productive forces of this era simply cannot afford such a large-scale education system.

After Liu Che became emperor, the biggest limit and the best result he could do was to establish several national universities to train elites, and at the same time encourage the development of private schools, and carry out a certain amount of policy tilt and subsidies.

The rest will have to wait for the time to colonize all of India, and with India's wealth and resources, it may be able to support a certain amount of literacy campaign.

Liu Che turned his head and said to Yan Yi: "This matter, leave it to Qing to be responsible, Qing will arrange it, Sheren and wash the horses and other ministers, take turns to come to Sixian Yuan to clean up the children's literacy, formulate a rotation table, and in the future, this professor will be included in the annual performance appraisal!" ”

Although it is too large-scale compulsory education, Liu Che can't do it.

But he can still afford literacy and education on a small scale.

For example, it is still possible to educate the children of Sixian Yuan now, popularize knowledge and culture in his prince's guard in the future, and teach the art of war or something.

If you want to eat a fat person in one bite, you will definitely choke, but it is completely okay to change step by step, bit by bit.

Not to mention anything else, it is just to learn from Little Pig, and in the future, the Eighth Lieutenant will be trained as the backbone, and the knowledge and culture will be popularized among the elite of these thousands of people, and then in more than ten years, tens of thousands of officers with knowledge and understanding of the art of war will be cultivated.

Relying on these people as backbones, what can't be done?

Of course, these are very distant things.

For the time being, under the guise of 'being righteous and correct', no one dares to say anything about him playing compulsory education literacy in Sixian Garden.

"No!" Yan Yi nodded hurriedly when he heard this.

But there are other thoughts wandering around in my heart.

"Teach the farmer's son......" Yan Yi scratched his head, feeling a little awkward. However, when his ancestors studied under Confucius, there seemed to be many people from low backgrounds among his classmates.

Thinking about it this way, Yan Yi can understand.

After all, the slogan of Confucianism is 'education without class'.

But Huang Lao's Ji Di and Zhang Tang of the Legalist family were a little uncomfortable.

Lesson in mud legs? What has never happened before!

If it weren't for Liu Che being the crown prince, where he was standing on top of it, with a resolute face, Zhang Tang really wanted to persuade him.

It's not that he looks down on the peasants.

But Zhang Tang felt that these mud-legged children didn't know etiquette, let alone respect and humility, and they weren't very smart. (To be continued......)
