Xuande

Chapter 295
After practice, everyone has to admit that the collective production model is indeed more resistant to disasters than the smallholder production model, and it can better protect the needs of the government.

For example, at the level of employment, collective farms are able to coordinate government labor and agricultural production well, and can achieve both labor and production to a certain extent.

Most of the agricultural water conservancy facilities in Liangzhou are dilapidated and of poor quality. Collective farms need new water conservancy facilities to resist natural risks, and they also need people to build them. However, there is a shortage of labor, and the government cannot provide much manpower to support them. Do it yourself.

After they coordinated, the labor force in the farm came in rotation. One group of people built water conservancy projects and dug ditches, while the other group continued to plow the soil, plant the land and weed, so agricultural production and water conservancy construction started.

Although the harvest season is not yet ushered in, but with the arrival of the next harvest season, farmers in Liangzhou will surely get the joy of a bumper harvest.

And more importantly, Liangzhou does not need agricultural production to subsidize too many things.

The production mode of the collective farm is very efficient. Its subordinate mode, farming, was once the magic weapon for the Qin people to win, it was also the magic weapon for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to open up the Western Regions, and it was also the magic weapon for Cao Cao to fight for hegemony in the Central Plains. It is very effective for accumulating food and doing big things. .

If there is no more demand from the government and the farmers want to have enough to eat, farming will definitely be effective.

I am afraid that in order to build other industries, too much is taken away and too little is left.

Although Liangzhou has a lot of waste to be built, there is not much to build. What is built is nothing more than some conventional and traditional things. many.

The tax set by Liu Bei for collective farms is not high, fully considering the accumulation needs of farmers.

Therefore, he is confident that in a relatively short period of time, farmers in Liangzhou will have more abundant grain savings, and let them realize that collective farms are good, and they are more willing to support the existence of this policy.

The government also saw benefits from it, and the basic strategy of promoting this policy to promote collective farms to become the state capital was recognized and no longer questioned.

With the construction of collective farms, some traditional local grassroots organizations became less necessary.

Originally, the grassroots organizations in these places almost collapsed during the war. With the existence and management of collective farms, the voices of some people who proposed to re-establish village control personnel gradually disappeared.

It is worth mentioning that before the Sui Dynasty, China did not have the real sense that the imperial power should not go to the countryside. Instead, it had quite strict control over the population on the basis of the registration of households, such as township, pavilion, li, Shi, Wu, etc. Hierarchical control of the population.

This strict control setting provided the Qin and Han First Empire with a strong mobilization force and achieved brilliant military achievements.

But as time passed, Liu Bei realized that too many officials is not a good thing.

Especially in Liangzhou, a place with a vast land and few people, there is no need for so many officials to increase the burden on the common people.

Even in the densely populated areas of the Central Plains, the total population is only tens of millions. Compared with the later Ming and Qing Dynasties with a population of [-] to [-] million, management is much easier.

Therefore, under the promotion and persistence of Liu Bei, the Liangzhou government began to adapt to the administrative process of directly connecting the collective farms with the county government and conveying the requirements of the higher-level government orders.

As for the dissatisfaction of those local families that still remain in the process of promoting this system, Liu Bei doesn't care.

The comprehensive promotion of collective farms is necessary in Liangzhou. No matter who stands on the opposite side, it will not end well.

A region with stable and developed agricultural production will inevitably have a stable economy. If the economic fundamentals are stable, the politics will also be stabilized, and the social environment will turn from turmoil to stability.

Therefore, with Hanyang County as the center, the basic situation in Liangzhou has begun to ease at a considerable speed. The road from chaos to chaos does not seem to be that far away.

But at the same time, the entire Han world is not stable.

Time has entered the fourth year of Zhongping. In February, when Liu Bei set out to inspect the entire Liangzhou, an uprising broke out in Xingyang County. The rebel army began to attack Zhongmu with great momentum. Sheng.

However, because Xingyang County was too close to Luoyang, the Luoyang court responded quickly.

This time, Liu Bei was not there, and the Luoyang court did not lack suitable candidates.

For example, Zhang Wen, who was successfully promoted to General Hussars, or Lu Zhi, who had already returned to Luoyang.

Lu Zhi had successfully returned to Luoyang last year to be promoted to the rank of Taiwei, and recorded the affairs of the minister. He has become the de facto prime minister and co-administered the government with Yuan Kui. human trends.

This time, Lu Zhi took the initiative to ask to go to war as usual, but Huang Wan, an official of the Jinwen School and a master craftsman, claimed that Lu Zhi was a distinguished man and was no longer suitable to lead the army, and suggested that another candidate should be sent.

Huang Wan recommended Huangfusong who had been out of work after returning to Beijing, and hoped that the court would give Huangfusong another chance.

Of course Liu Hong was unwilling to let Lu Zhi attack again. He wanted to keep Lu Zhi in Luoyang, but he really didn't like Huangfusong, so he originally planned to let Zhang Wen fight again.

Zhang Rang put forward a different view at this time, and recommended He Jin, a general who had never had a sense of existence before.

"Both Lu Zhi and Zhang Wen have made great military exploits. If they win again, it will be inconvenient for the court to reward them. General He Jin is not the case. He lacks military exploits and has always been low-key. Majesty and status, right now is the time to pursue military exploits, why doesn't His Majesty appoint any Jin to lead this battle?"

Liu Hong thought about it and found it very reasonable, so he ordered General He Jin to lead the army to quell the rebellion.

He Jin was very happy, thanked Zhang Rang, and then sent Zhang Rang the "final payment" to thank him for his successful work, and then ordered his troops to prepare to attack.

This time He Jin not only attacked by himself, but also called on his younger brother He Miao, who was serving as Henan Yin, and the two brothers attacked together. Relying on the strength of the Central Han Army and the inexperienced and chaotic organization of the Rebel Army, it took only one month to calm down In the rebellion, kill all the rebels and win.

He Jin, who had obtained military exploits, was so powerful that he became a man of the hour on Luo Yang's headlines for a while.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Jin demonstrated his power as a general, and through Zhang Rang's operations and suggestions, his younger brother He Miao was appointed by the court as General Wei.

The intention of Zhang Rang to do this is very obvious.

He Jin was originally a member of the eunuch group, as was his younger brother He Miao, and Hussar General Zhang Wen was also a member of the eunuch group. Now, three of the four most important military positions in the Han Dynasty are members of the eunuch group. Wouldn't it be beautiful to control the central military power?
