Zheng Lang said: "It's still far away. It's at least ten years to evolve, and it may take twenty years to evolve. The output will be amazing at that time. This is a pilot project. If it is better, it can be promoted nationwide. Once the country uses excellent seeds, the food crisis will be resolved many times."

It can only be said that a lot of things are resolved. The more food the more people, the more people there is, and there is no way to rule it!

He also said: "When I was thinking about it, I thought that I would leave office. What if there is a bad official? The money I invested is not much, after all, it is also money. So I would rather subsidize the people than buy seeds at high prices and buy them at the same price as the grain price, just not give in to profits. Otherwise, the people will use inferior products as good ones and confuse the quality of seeds. Then they will give to the people at a fair price. The same principle is to avoid the middle-level interests. Otherwise, the officials will force themselves to be exposed to the people."

Yang Cha nodded heavily.

For example, when opening the dike, the original intention was good, but the people around him were coaxed into a group.

All of them are caused by deviations in officials' execution.

He said with conscience: "Zheng knows, just let the next official Xiao Guicao Sui."

"No, I have some things left to the next magistrate, one is the city wall. Without the city wall, there will be no guarantee for such a large city."

Don’t say it was a peaceful era. God knows if there will be Fang La in the future. Taipingzhou has become such a situation. Why do you want to attack Hangzhou? It’s better to attack Taipingzhou. There are more than a city wall to block it. We don’t believe in historical books. What is good and what is bad?

Some people even cheered Nong Zhigao and Li Yuanhao.

Regardless of whether I drink it right or wrong, I am a Song native now, so I have to think about the Song native.

"Here."

"There are also schools. This year, the entire army was in the Taipingzhou Provincial Examination. This was the result of my neglect of civil governance in recent years. But at that time, the whole province was built and the people were busy. Things gradually settled down in the future. We can encourage the state and even private schools."

"Here."

"There are also foreign populations. Most of the wealthy families in Wuhu cities are surrounded by land and built many houses. In order to retain labor, they live there for free. But these houses are not their own. Some people want to build their own houses but have no land. The crisis is not big, and if it continues for a long time, this problem will be troublesome. In the middle, everyone needs to sit down and negotiate to solve it. You cannot use coercive means or be too weak. These working people are the mainstream of future cities."

"Here."

"Just these three points, but the city is getting bigger and bigger and more people are getting bigger, and there will inevitably be new problems in the future." In fact, when explaining the subsequent affairs, the imperial edict was not issued, and Zheng Lang's whereabouts were not decided, and it may not be Yang Cha to take over.

So the two were very vague.

The population is indeed expanding, and the new disputes around have led to some populations continuing to move to Taipingzhou, not as violent as before, but at the end of March, the number of households increased to 51,000 households, and continued to rise. If Yang Cha takes over for three years, 60,000 households will not be a dream.

This is a lack that Zheng Lang intends to leave behind.

There are external reasons and internal reasons.

Some are because of labor problems, labor has been too nervous in recent years. But some are deliberately staying to ask for a good job for the new magistrate. Otherwise, he is too full, and the new magistrate may not be here to pick peaches. If he picks poorly, it is a hot potato.

He walked around, got on the boat again, and returned to Wuhu City.

Just by taking the sugar workshop, we gathered all the big farmers together for a small meeting.

Everyone sat down one after another.

After sitting down, Zheng Lang said: "The weather has finally improved in the past few years."

Everyone smiled thankfully.

"Many people wonder how I did it. I said it was very simple, the doctrine of the mean, and knowledge creates wealth. What is the doctrine of the mean? I wrote a book, and that seems a bit difficult to understand."

Everyone smiled again. It was probably because some scholars saw it, and it must have nothing to do with themselves.

"But to put a simple metaphor, it's like a big family, with six or seven sons. The eldest son is the best, the second son is the second, and the third son can live a life, the fourth son is just a food and clothing, the fifth son and sixth son cannot even eat. What should parents do? They have to dig a little more for the eldest son and second son and give it to the fifth son and sixth son. But dig it cannot be forced to dig it. After all, it is also the hard work and wisdom of the eldest son and the second son."

Puff and cheer together. This metaphor is wonderful.

"So, we need to persuade you to use some means, such as if I didn't say it clearly before, and I just told you honestly what kind of land and labor. As a result, you definitely don't want to say it. This land was also dug. I used labor to divide the land. You have money but don't have enough labor, so I poached some of it."

Everyone looked at each other and then laughed.

"I also said in the book "The Doctrine of the Mean" that everyone is a native of the Song Dynasty and is brothers and sisters. The people have no high demands. If they have a meal, they will not freeze to death. There is a home that can shelter from the wind and rain. The family is not big, but their own will not be forced to be demolished for no reason and have nothing to do. Even this requirement cannot be realized. One is fine, two, three, thousands, tens of thousands, and millions, and what will happen in the end. As a result, the eldest and second brothers will have nothing in this storm. They can do some good deeds, such as worshiping Bodhisattvas, which is actually worshiping Bodhisattvas. But I am afraid that you don't understand. After all, when we split up, we were almost the same. Later, because of hard work, saving, and wisdom, we gradually made our lives better."

"Yes, yes." Speaking of the hearts of these wealthy people.

"I am also taking into account your psychological feelings and trying to compensate you as much as possible. This is called taking into account both ends, so you will not get angry if you exploit some of your wealth. You will even make up for this wealth through other means. This is knowledge, what is knowledge, practical is technology. Why is silk in Jiangnan worthless, and it is because of backward craftsmanship. You have a deep understanding of this. Not only silk, silk, iron, copper, medicine, leather, jade, porcelain, tea, etc., are all like this. But I am a parent official, not a businessman, I can only take you one head and make a demonstration. So I encourage you to invite the wise craftsmen to come back."

Everyone suddenly realized that this reminded them of something.

"Four years are about to pass, and the truth should be revealed. What I said today is the first and last time. Why do I ask you to hire a wise craftsman? With a wise craftsman, the utensils you make in your workshop will be exquisite, and you can sell more expensively. The more you sell, the more prosperous Taipingzhou will be. It will be good for you and the government." Not to mention the great truth, these people may not be proficient in Confucianism, but they are all very smart, to be honest.

Zheng Lang paused and continued, "Although the truth is simple, you have never thought about it before, so I used some incentive policies to be fierce. Some people did a good job, some people did an ordinary job, and some people only remembered to do it when they saw others doing it themselves. If they did it well and saw the profit, they not only gained profits, but also brought benefits to Taipingzhou. Today is the moment of reward."

This is his promise, and today it is time to fulfill it.

But only this time.

Nothing else, fairness. He can give a very fair reward in his hands, but it may not be able to do it in the hands of other officials. Not all officials are bad. In fact, under the supervision of censors, many officials would rather not act than do too much.

This is also the only thing that Zheng Lang does not reject the gentleman party, that is, the power of supervision, including the Jiangdong prefectures. The more things go, a large number of officials will step down.

But you may not understand this.

At least it is not the knowledge they have learned, nor does it say this about Confucius and Mencius.

This reward is a beginning and an end.

So the list was read out, and the most common ones were textile workshops. Some people had long-term eyes and sent people to study from the beginning. Some of the weaver girls in the workshops were very skillful. In addition to Jinsuyuan, they also established brands, including two iron workshops, one scissor workshop, one glass workshop, and five or six workshops. They made some fame one after another and had some reputation around them.

But it was not the craftsman they developed themselves, but were all famous by the craftsmen invited from other places, and brought a group of craftsmen. These workshops met the standards set by Zheng Lang at the time, and reduced 10% to 20% of the tax.

After Zheng Lang finished speaking, many people beat their chests and stamped their feet.

I knew the benefits of hiring Gaoming craftsmen, but the salary of Gaoming craftsmen in the Song Dynasty was too high and they were reluctant to let go.

However, this policy is enough to guarantee the salary of craftsmen and also improves the competitiveness of workshop making tools.

It's too late to regret now.

Zheng Lang waved his hand and calmed everyone down and continued: "It's not too late to make up for the loss of the sheep. Paying taxes is just commercial taxes, and how much can you pay? Even if you subtract one or two portions, it may not be above your heart. I just use this to tell you the importance of knowledge and technology, and how much profit a sugar workshop generates. This is the benefit of studying things and learning."

The study of things and knowledge was empty, but due to external and internal factors, the Song Dynasty was not very repulsive to miscellaneous studies, including business, which had many disadvantages, and was a good opportunity to popularize science.

Zheng Lang said and left.

This party was basically his last party, and it also put an end to his life in Taipingzhou.

What should be done is done, and what should not be done is left to the next one.

Summer is coming.

It was submitted together with the taxation.

This is a very amazing tax. The food is less, only 200,000 hu of wheat and 30,000 shi of oil. However, the figure behind is amazing. Two hundred and twenty thousand pieces of exquisite silk cloth alone are worth nearly 400,000 jin. There is no way, and the money is insufficient, so I have to use silk instead. There is still more than 240,000 jin. There is still 100,000 jin and 100,000 jin of silk to continue to serve as the capital for two prisons.

These taxes and income account for very little proportion. The sugar workshop made a profit of more than 900,000 yuan. The court divided more than 300,000 yuan, the Jinluo Supervisor made a profit of more than 200,000 yuan, and the commercial tax was nearly 80,000 yuan. The others were the two taxes.

The result was presented, which also shocked several new prime ministers.

It's incredible.

Wang Zhaoming came to Taipingzhou again.

Zheng Lang politely welcomed him into the house, feeling uneasy, knowing that Wang Zhaoming came this time not for Taipingzhou, but for his arrangements.

Cui Xian also nervously looked at Wang Zhaoming with her daughter. At first, Huan'er wanted to go back to the capital. The capital was big, lively and the climate was suitable, not as hot as in the summer in the south. However, after Zheng Lang's analysis, he realized that returning to the capital was not a good thing, and he would achieve nothing except quarrels. On the contrary, staying in the place and practicing for a few more years, and with political achievements, the future career will be fundamental.

But it may not be possible. If he could be promoted quickly like Han Qi, he would be promoted quickly. But that would be the case, Zheng Lang would not like it.

We looked at Wang Zhaoming nervously together.

After coming a few times, I was very familiar with Zheng Lang's family. Wang Zhaoming took a sip of tea and whispered: "Congratulations to Dr. Zheng."
