It's autumn harvest time

Great changes have taken place in Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou, and these changes can be seen by everyone, especially Dengzhou and Laizhou, which were built in ruins.

The prefectural cities of Dengzhou and Laizhou were devastated, and the prefectures and counties under their jurisdiction were all spared. However, after Su Tiancheng really started to pay attention to Dengzhou and Laizhou, huge disturbances began to appear here. Changes, the city was built on the ruins, more prosperous than the previous city, the population began to increase rapidly, exceeding several times before, the life of the common people was generally guaranteed, as long as you do it yourself, there is always a chance to earn Silver can improve the life of the family, and if the family has arable land, it will have a foothold. Wherever you are in Dengzhou and Laizhou, you can feel the satisfaction of the common people. This situation is not seen in other places in Ming Dynasty Yes, even in Shaanxi, it is difficult to have such a harmonious situation.

The changes in Qingzhou are also significant. Although the speed is slower, the real major change in Qingzhou will be after the autumn harvest. Since Su Jun started to contact the wealthy gentry about the purchase of land, many wealthy gentry willingly Handing over the land deed and letting the government make the price, Liu Yunqing and Liu Zhongji were very anxious. Seeing that the gentry and rich households left Qingzhou one after another, Su Tiancheng didn't care. After a few months, the two finally understood why Su Tiancheng I don't care, the factual situation has changed the understanding of the two, and they hope that the wealthy gentry will leave Qingzhou.

Governments at all levels in Qingzhou have obtained a large amount of land.These lands will be distributed to the common people through the distribution of land.To attract ordinary people to Qingzhou, Qingzhou will have a large number of people coming in at that time. Qingzhou also needs to learn from the lessons of Dengzhou and Laizhou. According to Su Tiancheng's request, people should not enter too quickly, and they need to be screened.Proper control, everyone really understands the principle of orderly development that Su Tiancheng said. [

The so-called orderly development, Su Tiancheng explained in common words, everything needs a certain foundation, just like children always grow up slowly.You can't expect a one-year-old child to be able to run. The development of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou requires a process. First, you must build yourself well, and then you can feed a large number of people. It is impossible to be greedy.If you walk too fast, you will get into trouble instead.

The rapid development of Dengzhou and Laizhou is due to the migration of a large number of families of Jiangning camp soldiers. These people are in good conditions and their families have accumulated some money.After coming to Dengzhou and Laizhou, they got land.Whether they live in cities or villages, they can bring good habits to Dengzhou and Laizhou. They are willing to help those people with poor conditions, especially the Han people from Liaodong. These people are in Qingzhou and Laizhou. Re-registered and became a citizen of Daming, that is to say, the people have a lot of money and food, even if Dengzhou and Laizhou encounter a famine, they can survive it.

The construction of Dengzhou and Laizhou is based on the local foundation. A large number of ordinary people participated in the construction. Through their own labor, they can get paid, improve the living conditions of their families, and obtain the life they want.

In just a few months, countless houses were built. These houses were built by the common people themselves. The advice given by the government is to require the houses in the villages and towns to be built according to the principle of roughly centralized, and to avoid single houses as much as possible. In the case of a single family, even if there is a single family, the distance should not be too far.The villages and towns built in this way are convenient for the village chief and chief Jia to carry out effective management, and they can cooperate with each other when encountering any problems.

The common people are simple and live well. They are grateful to the government and obey any request made by the government. Disputes between the common people are usually resolved by the head of the village and chief Jia.

In Dengzhou and Laizhou, there are no rich gentry households for the time being, and the rich gentry households will not migrate here. The daily life of the common people has an inherent concept, which is to abide by the regulations of the government. The management of Jiashou, Lichang and Jiashou obeyed the management of government officials, and officials obeyed the management of officials. This formed a virtuous circle, which led to the faster development of Dengzhou and Laizhou.

In Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, the system of requiring guides to go out has been abolished. Su Tiancheng does not agree with this practice of imprisoning the common people. It is inappropriate to imprison the common people within a certain range. It is completely agricultural. The products of society, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou that Su Tiancheng needs to build are not purely agricultural societies, and industrial development is out of the question, but commercial transactions are necessary. Only by relying on commercial transactions, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou can have May be truly rich.

During the autumn harvest season, there are almost no officials in the government office, and all the officials have entered the village and entered the household.

This year's weather is very good, with God's help, Qingzhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou are originally lands of fish and rice, and all the grain has been harvested. The output of rice is basically more than two stones per mu, and the high harvest even reaches three stones. Maize And sweet potatoes, even got a bumper harvest.

The autumn harvest season means the time to pay taxes. The common people are very active and do not need the supervision of officials. The chief of the village and the head of the Jia chief temporarily transfer personnel to record the harvest of each household and each household. According to this situation, it is determined that they need to pay. They are familiar with this aspect of the matter, and they are also handy in operation. For individual farmers who have encountered disasters, the village chief and the first chief reported truthfully. Not only do these farmers not need to pay taxes, but they can also get some subsidies after the autumn harvest. Of course, when disasters happen, the conditions cannot be compared with those farmers who have a good harvest.

Every day in the government offices of prefectures and counties, Li Chang and Jia Shou brought the common people to pay taxes. Households and granaries were extremely busy. This situation lasted for more than a month.

The prefectural and county yamen also have a task, which is to purchase a certain amount of grain. The grain purchased by the common people must be endless, but the price purchased by the government will not be very high, and it cannot be compared with that of merchants. According to Su Tiancheng's request, 5.00% of the grain purchased by the common people is owned by the taxpayers, and 20.00% is sold to the government. The government buys it at a price slightly lower than the listed price. Three quarters, any peasant household can afford it.

When Su Tiancheng went to various places to inspect, he took Niu Er and others with him.

The Governor's Office has set up a special organization, similar to the agricultural technology department hundreds of years later. Niu Er is the person in charge of this organization. This organization is not only responsible for instructing farmers to grow food and increase production, but also to study agriculture. The prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, of course, the main task at present is to increase grain production.

Niu Er is also very hardworking, taking a group of former mud legs, looking around, always guiding the people, what to pay attention to in what season, including what to do in the field after the autumn harvest, etc., to ensure the next year's harvest. harvest.

Su Tiancheng looked very carefully, and when he saw that the grain production in some places was not high, he asked Niu Er beside him what the reason was. Sometimes, Su Tiancheng was not very satisfied with Niu Er's explanation, and would bring up other more important ones. Simple solutions, Niu Er will quickly memorize these methods. He not only worships Su Tiancheng, but also thinks that Su Tiancheng is a god. When he was in Pingyang Fucheng, Su Tiancheng proposed to plant corn and sweet potatoes, and proposed Knowing the specific planting methods, it can be said that over the years, the production of sweet potatoes has been huge, and the number of live people has been reduced.

When Su Tiancheng and his party went down, they adhered to the principle of not disturbing the people, and they did not need the company of prefectural and county officials. They often discussed with the prefectural and county officials directly after their inspections and put forward relevant requirements.

Su Tiancheng is very satisfied with the situation of agricultural production. The construction of cities, villages and towns in Fuzhou and counties is also very good. Some places are still in the process of construction. I believe that after the autumn harvest, there will be a huge construction revolution, and the common people will Those who start building houses in a concentrated way will have time after the autumn harvest, and ordinary people can be busy with other things.

Because of the construction of Weihaiwei Wharf, Shipyard, and Yantai Artillery Base, a large number of young and strong people have gone to these places, and Su Tiancheng's supervision is particularly strict. Xiong Zijian, Sun Chuanting, Bi Maokang and others also want to speed up the progress. Over the past few months, the progress is very fast. [

At this time of year, the common people are finally a little more relaxed.

The momentum of construction will always slowly slow down. At that time, how can the common people make money and live a good life? In Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, Su Tiancheng does not want the common people to rely on the land. Living with the harvest, so his focus turned to the Weihaiwei Wharf and the shipyard. As for the artillery base, there will not be many recruits, and the personnel from Fort Anning are basically enough.

Weihaiwei's wharf is the top priority. Once the wharf is built and maritime trade starts, Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Qingzhou will all be greatly touched. Huge trade transactions will affect a wide range of interests and profits. Huge, there are also a lot of business opportunities here, which can definitely make the people of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou richer.

Of course, there are still problems. Weihaiwei Wharf, as the only wharf allowed by the imperial court to conduct maritime trade, will attract a large number of overseas merchant ships. At that time, whether Zheng Zhilong in Fujian can still sit still depends on Su Tiancheng. thing. (To be continued.)
