The trees on the nearby hills are still green, the rice in the fields is golden, and there are oxen eating grass not far away. A line of geese fly over the sky from time to time. Everything is thriving, the earth is full of vitality, and the people who are living in the fields are smiling. This is the scene of happiness for the people and peace of the country.

Wang Anshi stood in front of a row of bamboos, looking at the scene in front of him, and his heart was surging.

In Yin County for several years, Wang Anshi organized the construction of water conservancy and school, and worked diligently, hoping that such a scene would occur. When he left there, he felt that he had done it, but compared with the farming and farming responsibilities here in Zaoyang, he did not do it.

There are no poor people under the rule of the land camp. There are endless wastelands outside. The yamen can borrow seeds, farm tools, and even help build houses. How can there be poor people? What if they don’t pay back if they have a loan? People are all placed in the village, and the loaned seeds are planted in the field. The house is surrounded by neighbors. The farm tools are used to go to the fields with the villagers every day. After harvesting crops, they immediately repay them with grain. It is not easy to run away.

In Du Zhongxiao's statement, the money and grain loans from the yamen were immediately converted into fixed assets. As long as the crops were planted, the crops in the field had already decided that they would not lose their capital. It was not that there were no vague people who planted the land for a few months and would stop working if they had enough food and clothing. They ran away with bags of millet and ran away without knowing where to go. It was nothing more than that the crops in the field were taken care of by the villagers, and the house was still there, and the harvest was enough to ensure that the yamen would recover the capital and profit.

Why can it be done here? It is difficult to learn in other places? Because the yamen has money. Even if there are occasional deficiencies, the money earned in other places can be enough to make up for it and there will be no accumulation of debts. Moreover, there are no large households in the countryside, and small self-cultivated farmers are the main ones, and the society is stable.

Wang Anshi has his own understanding. Refining wasteland and building water conservancy are measures to develop agricultural production, and cracking down on large households is a way to ensure the authority of the government and social stability. When you arrive in Shuzhou, you should learn how to manage land and farming, first take over customers and let the large households go bankrupt. There is only one difficulty, and the state does not have such a strong capital as farming.

Therefore, you should start a shopping mall, establish a village, and with the financial resources of the prefectures and counties, everything will be easy.

He Da carried a load and walked staggeringly on the road. A few big grapefruits were formed on a small tree on the side of the road, making the branches hang down. A bird squatted on it, looking at He Da who was coming vigilantly.

He Daocheng straightened his waist and said to Wang Anshi: "Official, this is He Da, the village egg collector. Every day he gets up early to collect duck eggs and comes back to the field. At noon, he goes to the neighboring village to collect all kinds of miscellaneous items and sells them to the mall to earn some money to supplement the household income."

Wang Anshi looked at He Da who was walking over and nodded slightly: "This is a diligent person, and he will not have to rest sooner or later in the day."

He Daocheng said: "We rural people rely on our hands to earn food, how dare we rest? When He Da came to the field business, he had no clothes, carried a small basket, and didn't even change clothes. Now, besides the fields for the field business, he still has a few acres of land and dozens of mulberry trees, all of which were earned day and night. This is the best place for the field business. As long as he is willing to put in his efforts, his life will be better day by day."

Wang Anshi said: "Yes, as long as you work hard, your life will get better, which is very rare. In most places in the world, even if you work all day and don't have to rest, your life will only be difficult to maintain. How many people can get better gradually?"

When I was talking to Du Zhongxiao two days ago, Du Zhongxiao once said that when the world is peaceful, there will be general poverty. Workers will always earn less money than they have to spend. Life will get better and better, and spend more and more, and it will become more and more difficult to save money in their hands. The same is true for farming. When the harvest is good, the price of grain will fall and the harvest is not good. Unless the court provides relief, everything needed for farming will rise rapidly. The field business has just been opened, and a large amount of land has been reclaimed, and the big families in the countryside no longer farm. This is called dividends. For the people under the rule of the people, this is the time when the dividends are the most. Only at this time will He Daokai say that as long as he is willing to work hard, life will be better.

One day, the red will be used up and there will be no wasteland to open up. Even if every family still has so much land, their hard work will be the same. No matter how much grain is produced, the selling price will drop, the farmer will not make much money. If they want to continue to make money, they can only establish villages and communities to transfer labor from agriculture. In fact, industry and commerce feed back agriculture and take advantage of the dividends of industrial and commercial development. When there is no transfer of labor, or the dividends of industry and commerce feed back, they will enter a state of universal poverty.

Wang Anshi was skeptical about the general poverty that Du Zhongxiao said. Logically, this statement makes sense. But on the other hand, the world's peace and wealth always grow, and people in the world are generally poor. Where does the extra money go?

The village of Heda is very typical in the field business. There is the field business army and the original nearby customers and farmers, mixed together. Heda is the most typical family in the village to live a good life. While farming, he keeps trading in various small businesses. Wang Anshi came here specifically to hear what such a person would say. In his eyes, what is the field business like.

Seeing that He Da came to him, He Daocheng said, "Dalang, this is an official from the court, please ask you something."

He Da put down his burden and bowed to Wang Anshi and said, "Little Minor He Da, I have met an official."

Wang Anshi said: "We talk on the roadside."

When he arrived in front of Xiuzhu on the roadside, Wang Anshi said, "I heard that when your family came to manage the fields, they were poor and poor. In less than two years, they had land and houses. They also had small businesses and earned some money to supplement their household income. How are their lives? Can you tell me?"

He Da felt a little embarrassed, and He Daocheng urged him repeatedly before speaking. He didn't know what Wang Anshi wanted to know or what to say, so he had to start from the camp and farming business and how to get better slowly.

Last year, the village only organized the construction of canals and roads, but there was no farming. He Da planted some grain on the private fields he owned, and the harvest was reasonable and he harvested a few stones of grain. With this grain as a foundation, his family now received less food and more money from the field business.

Small businesses usually don’t make much money, but the advantage is that they always have money. In terms of business, they have flowing water and live money in their hands, and they can seize the opportunity. If others lack money and cannot buy things, they can buy them at home. After they accumulate little by little, the land will be better than others, and dozens of mulberry trees were planted around the private fields. After his wife came back, she raised silkworms. In addition to the wife at home, she could also sell silkworm cocoons and even sell mulberry leaves to other families, and the money in her hands became more and more abundant.

Adding up, He Da has a lot more money this year. He has been collecting local debris in the surrounding villages. He has channels. With more funds, he can collect some things he could not afford before. For example, expensive fur, precious medicinal materials, and so on. If he can do these businesses, he will make much more money than before. He keeps rolling and is no longer like before.
