Chapter 888
After hearing this, Jing Rui didn't hide anything, and directly stated his plan before coming here.

Shangguan Xuanyi nodded from time to time.

There is a lot of rain in the south and the flood season is long, and Jingrui just caught up with it, so it is necessary to build water conservancy and dams.

After all, it is just an earth dam. If it is washed away by the river, it will not be the people and the crops that will suffer.

With the advent of concrete, it is destined that earth dams will gradually be replaced.

The construction of concrete dams is a major event. First of all, what kind of dams can withstand the power of floods and beasts is a technical issue.

However, Jingrui has studied with Xiaoer for so many years, and Xiaoer has also taught him a lot about construction engineering and construction mechanics. A dam, and it is reinforced on the basis of the existing dam, there is absolutely no problem.

In fact, the basic construction of a place is all those: building roads, bridges, and water conservancy, but developing the economy and bringing people a peaceful life is the last word.

These are the things that every new official will strive to do when he takes office.

Although the direction is the same, the method is different for everyone.

How to develop the economy so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment is the top priority of a magistrate's work.

Jing Rui talked about several ways to help the common people get rich, one of which was highly praised by Shangguan Xuanyi.

Sugar in the Minze Dynasty was produced from sugar beets in the north and cane in the south.

For some unknown reason, there are relatively few sugar workshops in the south, and they are made from sugar cane. There are only ancient brown sugar and granulated sugar, and the sugar in the south is twice as expensive as that in the north.

Jing Rui thought that the south is suitable for growing sugar cane, so he planned to let the people grow sugar cane. He planned to find a place nearby to build a sugar cane workshop and a paper workshop.

The sugar cane grown by the common people is harvested directly, and sent to the workshop for squeezing juice and boiling sugar.

The remaining bagasse is sent to the paper mill to make paper.

"This is a good idea. The factory is built near the place where sugar cane is planted, which saves a lot of shipping costs, and also ensures the freshness of the raw materials. The paper factory is built near the sugar factory, so it can make full use of the bagasse." Shangguan Xuanyi listened nodded.

Planting sugarcane can increase the income of farmers, open workshops, and provide employment opportunities for people without land. People can earn money, and life will gradually improve.

As for the sugar produced, Jingrui is not worried about sales either. Firstly, his family has supermarkets in all states and counties across the country, and secondly, it can be sold overseas, which happens to be close to Haikou.

"Since we want to open a workshop, we can make more varieties of sugar. You can make granulated sugar, rock sugar, brown sugar, square sugar, red granulated sugar, borneol sugar, brown sugar, etc."

"There are so many kinds of sugar?" Shangguan Xuanyi looked at Xiao'er in confusion.

Jing Rui looked at Xiao'er with admiration in his eyes: he knew that Xiao'er would definitely have a better proposal when he proposed it.

"Of course!" Xiao'er was a little excited. Sugar is a necessity of life. Although it is not expensive, it is definitely a business based on volume. She is not worried that no one will buy it. She is very interested in this business.

"Brother, I will open this workshop, and you will be included!"

"If you want to open it, you can open it. You don't have to count me in. I'm actually too busy." After hearing this, Jing Rui directly found an excuse to refuse, he can't just take advantage of his sister for nothing!

"After all, my time here is short. After all, I have to rely on my elder brother to help me look after this workshop. Don't refuse. Do you have any other ideas?" Xiao'er did not allow Jingrui to refuse, and decisively changed the subject.

"I once heard you say that if the imperial court can take over the land as state-owned and then distribute the land to households, it will not only better mobilize the enthusiasm of the people for production, but also solve the problem of food and clothing for the people faster. I think The policy of distributing land to households can be tried in Zhenyang County.”

The previous county magistrate of Zhenyang County was incompetent and was impersonated. That false county magistrate committed all kinds of crimes, corrupted the land of many landlords, and even confiscated their families and exterminated their families. For this reason, many fields in Zhenyang County are now ownerless. They are all in the hands of the imperial court, and the imperial court can just take advantage of this opportunity to try to divide the land into households.

After hearing this, Shangguan Xuanyi pondered for a while before opening his mouth and said: "I have thought about this matter, it is impossible to implement it in all parts of the country, but the current situation in Zhenyang County is special, so it is indeed possible to try it in this way."

The current national conditions are that most of the fields are in the hands of a small number of wealthy people, which is a typical enclosure.

Those who have one or two acres of land in the common people's family are good enough, and many people live by renting and planting the land of the landlord's family.

In the past, grain production was low, and even if ordinary people had one or two acres of land in their homes, it was still not enough to feed their families.

It is also necessary to rent and plant the land of the landlord's house to live.

But now that grain production has increased, those who have land at home, even if there are six or seven people in the family, even if there are only one or two acres, they don't have to worry about starving to death.

Those who have a few mu of land have more food than they can eat, and they can sell a lot of food every year, and even use the food to feed poultry and earn some money by selling more poultry.

"How does Big Brother plan to divide?" Xiao'er did mention it, but she knew at the time that this method was not feasible here, but she didn't expect that she just mentioned it in passing, and both of them were concerned about this matter.

"Let's divide it according to the population of the family. Each person has two points of land."

"That's right! It's enough for everyone to divide the land twice. What does Second Emperor Brother think about this?" Shangguan Xuanyi nodded after listening to Jing Rui's words.

"I've already mentioned this matter to King Xian. He agreed, and I'll let it go if I think it's feasible." Jing Rui couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard Shangguan Xuanyi's words. Before leaving, he came to the door and directly asked himself to take care of Zhenyang County, wishing he could take care of everything.

But for the magistrate, in fact, he wants to be the magistrate of Zhenyang County more, and that place full of holes is more challenging.

Because of this, King Xian asked himself to help advise Zhenyang County, but he would not agree.

Seeing Jingrui's expression, Xiao'er guessed that Shangguan Xuanhao wanted to be the shopkeeper.

That man is not interested in anything except medicinal herbs. As early as when he had a fief, he begged himself to help the people in his fief find a way to get rich.

Then she proposed to plant unicorn fruit, and he only said one word after hearing it: "OK."

Then there was no more, and no one was sent to investigate the actual situation of the fief. Otherwise, if he had paid more attention to such a big matter in Zhenyang County, how could he not have discovered it until they arrived!

Anyway, Shangguan Xuanhao is not interested in anything other than the word "medicine", so he can push it if he can.

Xiao'er was used to seeing this.

The emperor hated this son too!

Shangguan Xuanyi also had nothing to do with this imperial brother: "Since he has no objection, then go ahead and try."

"Yes." Jing Rui nodded.
