Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 591

Liu Mu opened his mouth and continued:
"It's hard to see the Yellow River clear in a thousand years. Emperor Wu raised Han's heavenly power outside the territory, but it was difficult to rule the Yellow River. It is recorded in Han Shu that Emperor Wu of Han threw his beloved white horse and jade pendant into the river and prayed for the blessing of the river god, but he still did nothing. For 20 consecutive years, Year after year, the Yellow River suffers catastrophic disasters, and the lives of people are devastated."

As expected of shooting at Zuo Pu, Xiao Yu said that regardless of the records about the Yellow River, this head is definitely a computer-level one.

Liu Mu asked again: "Old Xiao, have you heard of the term Haiyan Heqing?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, but he could understand the word.

Liu Mu asked again: "Old Xiao, have you heard that since ancient times, it has been said that the sage came out and the Yellow River was clear!"

"It is passed down from Emperor Yu, and it is said that the first time the Yellow River was cleared since ancient times was at that time." Xiao Yu also told Liu Mu many allusions.

"Burning wasteland is a very stupid thing. Construct water conservancy, protect forests, and all forests on both sides of the river must be protected. It is forbidden to dig ditches at will, and it is forbidden to build water mills endlessly without planning. In ten years, it can increase fertile land by [-]. Thousands of hectares, it can be seen... Huang Heqing!"

Liu Mu's confidence didn't just fall out of thin air.

The reason why the Yellow River began to turn yellow is because at the junction of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, there have been constant military disasters year after year, and some trees will be cut down for military use.

And now is the fourth warm period of the earth. The climate in Chang'an is comparable to that south of the Yangtze River in later generations, and the precipitation is sufficient.

As long as the water and soil are maintained, the Yellow River can be seen in ten years.

I'm afraid Li Shimin won't care too much about maintaining water and soil and protecting the environment, but if the Yellow River is clear, it will cost Li Shimin's life. In his expectation as an emperor, let alone keep the Yellow River clear, even if it is clear for a few days, His imperial career can also be marked heavily.

If the Yellow River really became clear, even if it was relatively clear, Li Shimin could also say that the Zhenguan Dynasty was a prosperous age through the ages.

"Military Department." Li Shimin said.

But it was not called the Ministry of Industry, nor the Ministry of Households, but the Ministry of War.

Du Ruhui made an exception.

Li Shimin ordered: "In three years, I will destroy Jieli. There will be no war in the north, and the Yellow River can recuperate, not to mention ten years. If I can see the Yellow River clear in this life, Qing and others will last forever."

All courts salute together.

"Retire..."

All the ministers saluted again.

This... Liu Mu was stunned, he hasn't mentioned a single word of the most important thing.

Li Shimin took a few steps and then stopped: "Liu Mu, I thought you could choose fifteen counties to try what you want to do. That's it."

Willow bowed and withdrew.

A day later, Liu Mu went to Huazhou in person.

Huazhou is a central state at the foot of Huashan Mountain. This is the Weishui Plain, which can also be called the southeastern part of the Guanzhong Plain. There is a flat plain area here.

In this area, there are mountains in the north and south, but the central Pingchuan is the widest area in the eight hundred miles of Qinchuan, which belongs to the alluvial plain of the Wei River.The largest resource is the Weibei coalfield belt known as the black belt, with amazing reserves.

But Willow is not here for coal.

Liu Mu stopped at a village before entering the city.

The village is drying the locusts they caught with their nets in the open space in front of the village.

Just seeing Liu Mu's imposing manner accompanying the guards, the village head and Li Zheng knew that it was a big shot from Chang'an, so they rushed to the village head.

The guards quickly brought the folding chairs, opened the folding table, and Liu Mu invited the two old men to sit down.

"Two old men, I'm passing by here to have a rest and ask about something."

"Officer, tell me." Li Zheng didn't intend to ask who Liu Mu was at all, and his posture was definitely not a small person.

Liu Mu smiled and said: "I have a question, the two old men will help you think about it."

"Success, you ask."

"We have a lot of people in Guanzhong. This township, ri, and village. Are there enough fields for each family?"

After Liu Mu asked, the two dared not answer, and they dared not discuss political affairs in private.

Liu Mu smiled and stretched out his hand, and Liu Mu's new secretary Xie Xing'er handed a document to Liu Mu, and turned to the page that Liu Mu needed.

"This village is far from enough." After finishing speaking, he handed the document to the two of them, and continued: "The land in the Tang Dynasty is divided into Yongye Field, and then Koufen Field. But there are too many nobles in Guanzhong, and the people in Guanzhong There are too many officials. Therefore, the other two types of fields are not enough for the common people, and your mouthful of land may be evenly divided, which is less than ten mu."

There are two kinds of fields in Datang, and there are willows.

One is called postal land, which is equivalent to official salary, twelve hectares for the first rank, ten hectares for the second rank...

This field is public land, and it must be handed back after resignation.

"Officer, this..."

In the Tang Dynasty, the common people respected those with official positions.In the Song Dynasty, it was the wife who called her husband.

"What I want to ask is, if I let you live in another place. For example, there are five people in one household, three Ding. Then you will get more than one thousand mu of land at most no more than three thousand mu, and then ten households of slaves. Of course, no matter how much Tanaka produces, I will take it away..."

At this moment Liu Mu stopped, and he was watching the reactions of the two old men.

Then Liu Mucai said: "I want to deduct [-]% of the money, and then collect a land tax of ten cents per mu. There is no corvee, but you have to go out to train to guard the village. This is different from the government soldiers. You only need to guard the village and don't need to go out to fight."

"Should I change, or should I go?" After Liu Mu asked, he began to wait for the responses of the two old men.

hiss……

Both old men had the same reaction, this question was too exciting for them.

This is the level of rising from a small person to a rich person.

"My name is Liu Mu, a son-in-law who is not conferred by the captain."

Hearing Liu Mu's application, the two elders hurriedly stood up and saluted. Liu Mu's name was Guanzhong, and even the chieftains in the southwest of Bashu had heard of it, let alone the Guanzhong area.

Liu Mu didn't let the two old men get up, and stretched out his hand to hold them down: "The two old men, the boss has a field, and the slaves don't know how to cultivate it. It's a fertile field that harvests three crops of rice a year, and it's like spring all the year round. Of course, There are still some places that are barely okay, and the people there don’t know how to grow vegetables, so I need a lot of radishes.”

The two old men were silent, this matter made them undecided.

On the one hand, he left his hometown, but on the other hand, he was tempted to increase his net worth several times.

Liu Mu added: "Of course, your home is still your home. Take this village as an example, I will definitely tear it down, and then several villages will be merged into one to build a big village. Everyone's household registration is still here. Still You can... return home in good clothes."

After Liu Mu said the words "Returning to Homeland", the eyes of the two old men immediately changed.

Datang also went out to work, even traveled far to work, and also did transportation work.Many strong laborers go out to work during the slack season. As long as the family is still here, it is good to have a thought every year.

From the eyes of the two old men, Liu Mu had already got the answer he wanted.
