Chapter 242: The Sail

"What's the problem?" Zheng Lang asked. Press ctrl + d to quickly collect """

"Good...many, many, big," County Magistrate Wang couldn't speak in a thorough manner with his lips trembling.

Other officials' eyes were also straight.

After several inspections, Zheng Lang's plan changed. There were eight large dikes on the second drawing, with an area of ​​more than 5,000 hectares. In Zheng Lang's plan, five to seven dike areas can be opened, and the entire Taipingzhou can be established. The area of ​​the dike circle becomes a polder, and the lakes that should be left are reserved for water storage, and the entire polder area may also reach seven or eight thousand hectares.

It is not too much. In history, nine large embankments were developed in Wu and Hu County in the Song Dynasty, and many small embankments were opened, and the actual utilization area was exceeded Zheng Lang's plan. The development was a bit overdeveloped.

Not only Taipingzhou, but countless pierries will be produced in the Yangtze River area in the future. The Guanxiu area in Jiangdong has reached 7,900 hectares, which is Guanxiu, and the private pier area may be dozens and 100 times. There are 15,300 hectares of piers in the Yangtze River and Yinfurong Lake area, which is also more than Zheng Lang's plan to open up the total pier area of ​​the three counties in Taipingzhou.

Later, the An, Qing and Chao and Hu riverside areas, excluding Xuan, Zhou, Chu, and Zhou, the polder area reached more than 70,000 hectares, which made Wu and Hu become one of the four rice markets.

Or once Xuanzhou is developed, the polder fields will be several times more than Taipingzhou. The area is large and there are always advantages. However, once Xuanzhou is fully developed, the grain must be transported out through the canal transport, and it must also pass through Wuhu ports.

An important commercial city emerged.

If this tax is well managed, it will be more than the polder.

There are not many, but each dike is a huge dike. After several circles, almost half of the lakes and zodiacs are circled in.

The eight major embankments are all connected embankments and mixed embankments, and countless built small embankments are included.

This is Zheng Lang's idea. If there are another fifty years, this idea will not be surprising, but now dozens of officials are stunned.

There are still benefits. The reason why Zheng Lang values ​​whether it is a virgin land is because it is easier to outline reasonably. In another fifty years, it will be a mess. Will a forced demolition be staged in advance?

Each dike selected is also a relatively scientific site selection. Moreover, the flood control and flood control forces are concentrated, and the accident rate is small.

But these officials don't know.

Zheng Lang asked: "What's the problem?"

"Nothing can happen..." County Magistrate Wang continued to tremble.

These areas of Wuwu are deserted and Huxian occupies 60% of the area. If the small areas are broken, it would be fine if a few ordinary people are drowned occasionally. If such a big area is broken, how can I bear the consequences? We are just from the same Jinshi, not you, but the top scholar. Wherever we fall, we can get up. Once something happens, my career will end in my life.

"What if the embankment is 12 feet high and 6 feet wide? Or higher and wider?" It is the standard size of Wanchunwei in history. 12 feet is not three meters and three three, but three meters and one six. This height and width are not standard. It is enough to have this height in the high area. Even if the low-lying area is 15 feet high, there is still a risk of flooding.

The same is true for width. For example, in order to accommodate lakes, the dikes are moved out and irregular shapes are created. A river is rushing straight towards it. The dikes are easily pressed against the sharp corners, and the thickness of the dikes and the main dikes themselves must be widened.

Therefore, Zheng Lang said that it was taller and wider.

County Magistrate Wang could not answer. At this time, there were many small dikes in Taipingzhou, all of which were private dikes. It would be nice to have a two-meter-wide dike. What a solid dike!

"If you are afraid, you have to be responsible for this matter. But I want to say in advance that once so many large dikes are formed, the newly expanded arable land may reach more than 4,000 hectares and 5,000 hectares. It will produce more than one million stones of rice a year, and 20 to three taxes, which can obtain 200,000 stones of grain. The benefits of the porcine and sap are also taxable, and millions of dollars are still available."

It was calculated based on the historical Wanchunwei income.

But that was just a dike, and many people drank blood. These people not only evade taxes, but also occupies hidden production. In fact, Wanchun Dike has more than 230,000 mu of grains. After two seasons of rice and wheat, the total yield will be around 40 stones. If you don’t talk about those, you will all go into your private pockets.

There are also some at present, but under Zheng Lang's control, the situation will be very light, and once so many dikes are raised, the people who drink blood will be very thin. I don't know what to do in the future, and even by the Southern Song Dynasty, it can be one of Qin Hui's private property, and Chaoyang will not get any profit. However, once it is successful, regardless of the profit or actual output, it will be far more than the number he just mentioned.

He also said: "After putting more than one million stones of food into Hebei, your Majesty may not faint in a hurry. Besides, such a big embankment is the first feat since the creation of the world, and it will also be a model for other prefectures and counties in the future. The merit... At that time, I will only be the two of me and Zhao Tongdi who will divide it."

Judge Zhao bowed his head and chuckled.

At first he was also hesitant, and it was not until Zheng Lang discussed with him for a long time that he felt that things were feasible.

One output income, one creates the world and model, and another achievement makes the expressions on the faces of officials wonderful, worry, fear, excitement, greed, eager to try, hesitate, thoughtful, surprised, and even several expressions on the faces are rolling.

There are still risks in their minds. But success is another amazing achievement. Do the officers in the service want to become regular officials? Do the magistrate want to be a magistrate, do the magistrate want to be a magistrate, do the magistrate want to be a magistrate? If successful, this is a huge opportunity.

Zheng Lang said again: "You have forgotten one thing. Once we succeed, other prefectures and counties will learn. My little lady hired the Weaver Girls at home to teach weaving. They are Weaver Girls from the inner palace, and each of them is the best weaving skills. With food, fish, and exquisite silk weaving, please take a look again. From Jiangning to Ezhou, where is the most suitable place for trading?"

Only then will the truth be revealed.

Everyone suddenly realized that no wonder Zheng Lang set up Wuge Academy in Wuhu.

Zheng Lang said again: "Once it becomes a big port, how much tax will it bring in a year? Will it be twice as high as several big dikes?"

I was worried about going all the time, and it turned into an excited expression.

County Magistrate Wang asked another question: "Where does the manpower come from?"

Let’s bet! There is no problem with the money. Because of the case of Linjiang Temple, Taipingzhou has obtained a fortune. The key is manpower. How much manpower does such a large two ditches require?

"You don't have to worry, I have already thought of it. In the new embankment, I must hand over to the people to cultivate the land. The official will divide the land by the number of households and labor. First divide the land into three levels, and the few slopes in the embankment are three levels, with 20% off, low-lying land and water-scarce land as second-class, and 30% off. Households are calculated based on the entry point, and workers under the five labour can get 30 acres of land, and those under ten labour can get 50 acres of land, and so on. One labor can get 15 acres of land, two labor can get 30 acres of land, and women aged 20 to forty can calculate the land by six divisions of labor. If you have something to do in the middle, the number of days missing is divided by the entire construction period, but each household must have one complete work to get the land. Old men, lonely, ill, aborted, widowed wives, concubines, filial sons, benevolent, and kind-hearted people give 20 acres of land. Those who obtain land are strictly prohibited from buying, selling, renting, and not being allowed to be left, otherwise they will be fined and confiscated immediately."

The edict asked Zheng Lang to simplify the procedures and he could preside over the development.

But the biggest drawback has become the affairs of one state. Unlike the development in history, ten counties jointly produce labor, and the two ditches and the same circle, the labor burden is very heavy. We must forcefully squeeze out the labor force from Taipingzhou. So we came up with this solution.

In fact, the dike circle still needs to be handed over to the people. How to hand over it? One is calculated based on the population of each household and the other is calculated based on the labor force.

I don’t know how long the construction period will be. The more people, the shorter the construction period will be. It may be one and a half months, or more, or more than two months, but no matter how you calculate it, it is cost-effective. Fifteen acres of land, Jiangnan is now very cheap, but fertile and safe polder fields will not be less than two titaniums.

This is the people’s understanding. If you really build it well, it will be more than just two coins.

After being tired, I took my wife with me and had more than fifty acres of land.

The same is true for friendship, and the nature of the two things becomes the four things, and the nature is completely different.

Rural women also have to do their jobs, including those near the capital. They will also go to the fields to work during the busy farming period. If they are not crowded like this, they will lack labor. There are many brothers in the family, such as the Zhang family, who put down their bodies, and the six brothers plus the six wives, which is equivalent to ten laborers. Although they will give a lot of land, each household will be given ten laborers. There will be laborers for building a dike.

It is also very humane. For example, if you are an old man at home, you will be given land if you have an old mother, a half-aged child, or a disabled person, and you will also be rewarded for people with good morals to show virtue. This trick is not new, and there was a similar practice in the implementation of the equal-field system at the beginning of the Tang Dynasty. So humane became humane and showed morality.

Even the unevenness of the advantages and disadvantages of the land has been considered and become a third-class distinction.

The last one is to prevent some people, such as when I am a non-farmer in Tu County, I will also work and sell it if I get land. This is higher than the work income in the city. I will not let me sell it or rent it to others to plant it. Then the order will be seriously disrupted by them before the dike begins.

Zheng Langning should not be too tired of the labor generated by the latter.

After careful consideration, County Magistrate Wang thought for a while and said, "This method is very wonderful."

"In the past, each household did not report the population. He ordered each household to go to the homes of the elders and the heads of the family to report the actual population. It not only concerns the distribution of fields, but also the ditches, ponds, and the uncultivated burrows and hills, and the benefits of the berries, lotus, pilgrims, fish, reeds, bamboo and wood produced. After the ditches are opened, these ditches are distributed to each village, and the real profits are distributed according to the household registration population. No one is allowed to encroach on any means. This official will tie stones and place these steles on each ditches."

In this way, the losses in each county will be reduced on the surface. In fact, it is not the case, including counting households and dividing the land by quota, and the hidden number of quota will be made public. With quota, there will be taxation. It is not a heavy burden for the people. Even the smallest number of households has more than 50 acres of land. Let go of the body and endure a little hardship. Calculate the tax for 20 to get four or five. Four stones of grain obtained from one acre of land, and if you remove the cost, you can save 60 or 70 stones of grain, at least to allow them to have food and clothing.

The difficulty is not now, but in the future, the population will be further reproduced. If mergers are added, it will be like this in fifty years. But within these decades, the people will live a happy life.

Everyone thought about it again, and finally thought of the wonderful thing, and praised it again and again: "Wonderful."

"This official will invest in purchasing hundreds of cows and put them in the fifth-class household without cows. Each cow will be repaid in five years, except for the disaster year. If there are calfs, the government will also reward a scoop in a year, but it will not be allowed to buy or sell. I hope I will not lend it to the government and let it go."

Originally, with Zheng Lang's idea, he could directly give the cow to a poor family without cows, so that several students, especially Sima Guang and Wang Anshi, could reject it.

Taipingzhou can do this because it is a surprise gain in his hand. Other states and prefectures do not have it and cannot be imitated.

Although it is kind, it cannot promote it.

He discussed with several students, and then with Zhao Tong, and finally changed it to this decree.

The government does not need to pay back the money. A good bull market price is more than 4,000 cents, and a worse bull market price of more than 3,000 cents, and a five-year period of five hundred cents. The interest rate is not low, but it is not a big deal for the Song Dynasty's usury loan of more than 60% or even 200%. If promoted, if the court borrows 100,000 cows in a year, it can make 50 million cents of money, which can support two to three prime ministers. It is not a small number.

The burden of farmers is not heavy, only a hundred cents a year, and the cow is his own in five years. For example, the tax on rent and taxes for officers in Guangde may be close to this number in a year, and it may be paid for a lifetime. Even if the cattle dies, it will have to be paid for several years. If two households own a household, it will only be paid for four or five hundred cents a year, and the burden will be lighter. The burden is not heavy for the people, which is slightly beneficial to the country. If the farming is done, the country will get taxes and increase invisible income.

I was worried that someone would resell the cow and use the money to lend usury, so I deliberately added one more item, and only the fifth-class household has this right. How could a fifth-class household be a fifth-class household? What ability does the fifth-class household have to lend usury?

There is even a possibility of exploitation by the government, and another one is added. The government sells expensively, so the people can not lend money.

In just one sentence, there are so many things in it.

There will also be loopholes, and the main loopholes will be plugged.

After a while, the magistrate Zhu County Magistrate Wang County Magistrate Dong County Magistrate all said it was wonderful again.

"It's not my idea, it's the solution that the young men in my family came up with together."

Just one sentence immediately made everyone speechless.

"The small embankment must be connected to the embankment, otherwise there will be embankment breaking in the future, which is not what I wish. For the convenience of irrigation, all the embankment dikes must be destroyed and connected with the big embankment. The compensation for the embankment owners should be made according to the third-class field example just now. The embankment area will be compensated for ten acres per hectare. If the embankment has been reclaimed, there will be one hectare of less than one hectare, and if there are more than one hectare, one hectare of more than one hectare."

Destroying the Xiaowei dike is not only an irrigation requirement, but also a master must have an idea when fighting floods. When the Dawei is destroyed, my Xiaowei can still be saved. If one person takes the lead, the rest will feel resentful. By comparing, the phenomenon of slacking off will occur.

The compensation is also fair. Now, Xiaowei will break the embankment at least once a year in ten years, and it may not break the embankment once every fifty years in the big embankment. Although the embankment has been built, the area of ​​the embankment has been included for compensation. The lake is even more fair, which is the floating profit on the water, and the profits are very small, which is considered high by thirty to one.

However, as soon as Zheng Lang said this, several minor officials fell down and said, "Magistrate, we are wrong."

It is very fair, but there is one thing that Zheng Lang chased after several times but did not chase out the real area. The actual amount of land was less than one hundred, most of which were reported by 67% of which were reported by 50%, and some even those who were unwilling to repent and never repent, and those who reported by 100% or 20%.

Almost all the minor officials present were stabbed, but the few minor officials who knelt down were the most severely. The number of Minada they had hidden was very large, so they knelt down and asked for it.

There are also a few small officials who don’t know how to think about it. It is impossible for each small embankment to be enclosed. The eight large embankments marked on the map only account for half of the area of ​​the lake. What about them? Is it a good or a bad thing if they are not enclosed?

"What do you want me to do? The matter has been leaked now. If I ask you to report it again, the matter may turn out like this immediately. There was only one small embankment, but it would become ten small embankments. Could it be that the entire Taipingzhou became the property of hundreds of your families? Or if you open a few of your families and spread it like that, how can I win the trust of the people?"

None of the minor officials could answer.

It is not possible, but inevitable. One change is unlikely, but one change two change three change five, there will be countless.

A minor official said, "What if someone talks too much?"

Zheng Lang shook his head and said, "No, even if you provoke it, you won't be too much. If you provoke it for five and six, you will receive twenty acres more. If you provoke it again, if there are few people, the official will not allow you to resell and rent it. You can only plant a rough farm with a thin harvest, and you will also have to pay the corresponding amount of land taxes to bear the responsibilities of the vacancies, which will not be worth the loss. Or the main household has many tenants, and your original land is not easy to deal with. If there are too many new plows and no farming, the official will also take it back, which will not be worth the loss."

The reason is the same as the temples he once imagined that they occupied fields. They did not allow ordinary people to rent and plant their farmland, but let the monk work on their own. You can occupy it as long as you farm yourself, it doesn’t matter if you occupy one hundred hectares. But whether the monk can cultivate one hundred hectares of land. Cut off this root, no merger will happen. At most, it will occupy dozens of acres of land. Planting a kind of grain, or planting some small garden vegetables, fruits and melons, will not be harmful.

The eyes of several officials were confused.

Zheng Lang's tone softened and comforted him: "Go to perform well, there is still a chance to make up for it."

Looking at the direction of Wuhu on the map, the officials suddenly realized.
To be continued...
