Yu Jing was dumbfounded when he heard this.

Zheng Lang did not seriously think about the meaning of his doing this, and did it intuitively. From Taipingzhou to Hangzhou and then to the northwest, he gathered more relevant people to meet and negotiate. This was the later democratic or republic style. The officials of the Song Dynasty did not do this. They closed the door and started to build cars, and then implemented it. At most, they could go on a look and then do some political revisions. That would be a good official. It was definitely not truly democratic, but it gave people a feeling of more or less respect.

Doing well will play a lot more, for example now.

A cave master asked boldly: "Mr. Zheng, how much time can you stay in Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Zheng Lang and Yan smiled and said, "I came not only to suppress the rebellion, but to come to govern everyone with the emperor's will and give everyone a happy life. Since I came, the time will not be short, it may take two or three years."

It’s neither short nor long. If you want to be a disciple of the prime minister, join quickly, otherwise you will not have this store after passing through this village.

Although Sun Kang, Song Xian, Zhu Shoulong, Yuan Tao and others were not top-level officials and were considered good officials, they were also very surprised when they heard Zheng Lang's first.

However, when Zheng Lang looked at the expressions of the barbarians, he saw many bad phenomena and some good phenomena after coming to Lingnan. Just like the French sons in Qinzhou, he admired the Han people and liked to borrow the Han race. The barbarians in Lingnan had no imagination to reject the Han people. Some barbarians also liked the Han people's clothing. Many people could speak fluent Chinese, although it was a Southern Song Dynasty dialect.

As long as you are careful and tolerant, Chineseization is not difficult.

He did not disappoint him, and many barbarians spoke enthusiastically. They all said that they would send their children to study, and some stayed in the mountains and forests, and they were not very familiar with the affairs of the outside world. Seeing others like this, they also participated and asked them to send their children to the new college.

This is of great significance. They are the first children of the chiefs of each village and every cave. Once they learn the Han culture, they will inevitably bring the Han traditions to each village. From clothing to etiquette to living habits, etc., they are popularized from top to bottom. After all, there are few people who become rebels when they take the imperial examination in the Jinshi exam. There is also an issue of education. God knows who will learn Han culture later.

After this proposal arrived at the court, it caused a small emergency. After seeing Zheng Lang analyzing various interests, he also passed. He didn't spend much money, and at least he could send some old scholars who had not passed the provincial examination, but had learned to come to Guizhou. Guizhou is also the only area on Guangxi Road where there is no legendary miasma. People in the Central Plains are not very afraid of this.

Zheng Lang pressed his hands again, and called out a man dressed in Sheman and asked, "Old Weng, I asked you. Which village can harvest how much rice per acre of land in your village?"

The old man shook his head.

There was some difficulty in communication, so Zheng Lang was not in a hurry. He looked at the ground, drew an acre of land with a tree stick, and asked again: "How much rice can you harvest for such a large piece of land?"

This time I understood, the old man replied: "Four and five dou."

Not necessarily, the fighting in the southern part of the cave is very unstandard, but it will not float up or down, which is similar to the information Zheng Lang got. Zheng Lang clapped his hands, walked out from behind him, and said, "He is a commoner in Taipingzhou, Jiangnan. Niu Silang, come and tell him how much grain can a mu of land in Taipingzhou collect in a year?"

Niu Silang replied carefully: "Five and six stones, the higher ones can have seven or eight stones."

More than ten times more.

Zheng Lang took out another sugarcane and said, "How much income will you earn in a year if you plant sugarcane?"

"Third and four stakes." Niu Silang replied indecisively. Although the profit of sugarcane is high, the government has strictly controlled it, and the cultivation is quite labor-intensive and consuming land. Although the Niu family has planted it, it has never been calculated.

Zheng Lang was afraid that everyone would not understand, after all, it was too backward, so he said: "In Lingnan, a cow is only worth two chunks of money in most places, that is, one acre of sugarcane is well planted and one and a half cow can be obtained."

There are also cattle in Lingnan, but they are mostly used for eating, not for farming.

"For example, grass cotton seeds were introduced from Lingnan, but the Central Plains was properly planted, and the yield of a mu of land was five to ten times that of Lingnan. For example, Guizhou is about the same area as Hangzhou, with Lingtuo above, Lushui below, and Lijiang in between, but the population is less than one-quarter of Hangzhou. It has a vast land and sparse population, fertile land, and a good business environment. Why is it so barren?"

"There are miasma." Everyone complained.

"I'll talk about malaria later. Besides, if such a piece of cloth is maintained, it is worth more than four or five jin in the capital. If the workmanship is more exquisite, it will be a sky-high price. It comes from your Liman tribes, but have you made good use of it?" Zheng Lang picked up a volume of Jibeibu on the table and said. This is a specialty of the Li people. Liman women have made a living by weaving Jibeiba since childhood, using local silk, crocodile, or using Central Plains silk cloth to fold and pick silk, and add kapok to pick a single or curtain. Because of the exquisite handwork, the flowers woven are gorgeous and colorful, and have become a hot item in the capital. Zheng Lang said that a four or five jin of money is still a conservative number. A good piece can be worth more than ten jin of money, and it is often judged by a ruler, rather than a pair of jin. Cui Xian also bought a few jin of bed sheets, which cost more than two jin of money. Of course, it is the best product.

A series of numbers made everyone lose their eyes, and some of them were ignorant of etiquette and were actually in the liuharazi.

Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty transferred 1,000 households from all over the country to teach you planting techniques, teach you business, textiles, and breeding. Now I only ask you one thing, give them a piece of land and protect them from safety. Can you do it?"

Since we are all from the large-scale Dongzhai, there is no problem in protecting the safety of several Han families.

This is not a request, but a gift, one by one, and one by one, is worshipping each other again.

Zheng Lang used his gesture to suppress the excited group leader and continued: "Also, the court has rewarded some agricultural tools and some daily necessities, including mosquito nets, etc. I will send someone to you later. Since ancient times, the wu family has been very fond of witches and hates doctors. I hope you can correct this habit. The college will also set up a subject to invite a skilled doctor from the Central Plains or your local area to teach medical skills and treat various diseases to your relatives and tribe members. If you have this idea, you can also send someone to sign up. Let me say it again. The college will provide food and accommodation, and you will only take care of the travel fee."

Even this was considered, but I didn't know how much money the court had to spend. Yu Jing couldn't help but shake his head.

Zheng Lang said again: "Then he said miasma, there are also ways to cure it. After everyone eats, please go to Fujiang with someone."

When people mentioned these two words, they all changed their qualities.

There is almost no miasma in Guizhou, but the Fujiang area from Yangshuo to Zhaoping to the south, Luocheng, Wuzhou and Dateng Gorge in Liuzhou are all wild miasma areas, and miasma cannot be lived for a long time. In fact, Zheng Lang carefully analyzed it. If the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the mountains and forests are deep and lush leaves are lush, and the water is living water, which may not be miasma. The forest purifies the air and the living water takes away the rotten things, so it is not easy to produce the so-called miasma. If there is no grass in the vast area and there is no organism, it is not easy to produce miasma. I am afraid that there is water, the water is stagnant water, or it is very smooth, and the woods are sparse. There are many poisons growing. Be careful in these places, don’t believe in evil, and no one can bear it if you get infected.

However, why are environments like Dateng Gorge hardly affected by miasma? It cannot be said that the forest is not thick and the water is not alive. There is nothing else, and the malaria caused by mosquitoes, including Fujiang.

Just like the poison of the Gu, even the Miao people themselves believed it. There were poisons, but was it as evil as the legend?

But Zheng Lang also scared the rumors and deliberately chose to take everyone to the miasma area in February, when the miasma in Fujiang had not yet arisen. The rumors were ruthless, uninhabited, dense forests, but the water resources were definitely rich. Everyone was a little scared, so Zheng Lang took the lead in. When they saw Zheng Lang in, everyone walked in tremblingly, and Yu Jing was hesitant for most of the day before he entered.

Although it was February, farmers were still asked to draw the grass with sticks, and snakes appeared. Because it was uninhabited, it became a paradise for reptiles. There were also some brightly colored snake spiders. It was not that scary, but it appeared from time to time to avoid injuries. Then cut out an isolation belt. This must be made clear. Although most of them are evergreen plants, you should also pay attention to prevent the entire forest from catching fire. Start scattering the firewood on the ground, especially those wet and rotten places, piled up thickly and started burning. It took two or three days to sort out a large area, and when the ground was smooth, they used cattle to plow and expose the sun. While directing, everyone learned.

Go back first and then use this method to sort out various miasma areas. If you can still see the so-called miasma and teach another method next year, you can only force the money to change the soil environment, force the poison away, and change the soil quality. I don’t know if it will be effective, and there may not be many chiefs going back to do it. In fact, what has changed is another thing that everyone can’t imagine, mentality! The root cause is still malaria.

He led the trembling crowd out of this horrifying area. Zheng Lang continued: "Nong Zhigao tyrannized Lingnan. Many of you here have suffered a lot. To prevent this phenomenon from happening again, first, the court is more vigilant in the future, and second, you also want to yourself. After all, the imperial guards in the capital are not adapted to the south. Therefore, Your Majesty issued an edict to draw one rank for baojia for one household to exempt him from all taxes. He was trained with most of the people during winter leisure, occasionally cooperated with the court to bow to thieves, or participated in the suppression of riots. But the court also made appropriate allowances for it."

In fact, it is a fusion version of the Baojia Law and the later Turkish Military Service Law in the Southern Song Dynasty. It is acceptable to say it at this time, and if you don’t cooperate, you will forcibly conquer the local soldiers. It is better to cooperate simply, and you can also get a high attitude.

Zheng Lang picked up another feather, that is, the tail hair of the peacock. There are many people in the south of Lingnan who raise it as chickens, and there are more Jiaozhi. He said: "A such a green feather is worth dozens of cents in the capital, and a gorgeous one can be worth hundreds of cents, but I saw someone throw it away as a rubbish. Why? I don't know its value. Why don't you know that business travel is not prosperous. There are also the Jibeibu I mentioned. In some places, a high-quality Jibeibu only exchanges for dozens of porcelain basins, but one of this kind of porcelain basins is only worth a few cents in the Central Plains, and the most expensive ones are only a few dozen cents. Why?"

Inertial thinking, almost at the same time, answered: "Business and travel are not prosperous."

"The reason why business travelers are not prosperous is because many of you are popular among the cave villages, including merchants who have been in the past, have been repeatedly arrested. How can business travelers prosper? But how much can they get? A slave only costs a few stagnant of money, while a slightly larger Limandong can produce thousands of green feathers a year. The profit alone is hundreds of stagnant and hundreds of stagnant money, how many slaves are worth? I will give only one example, which shows how heavy your losses are. Therefore, the court issued an edict prohibiting all ministries from selling slaves privately. Do you agree?"

It can also be said that the court gave you many benefits, so you should also repay them, right? But in another way, although it was an order, it was still for their sake. The fact is that it was continued to maintain various barbaric and backward customs. No matter how it was governed, it would still be backward. However, Zheng Lang was afraid of causing more trouble and dared not propose to abolish slavery. The ruling system jumped directly to the feudal era. Although some people were hesitant, they still reluctantly agreed, and it was to see that it would really bring many benefits and would definitely cooperate. If there was no benefit, the sky was still high and the emperor was far away. Who was afraid of whom? It was Zheng Lang who said so many heartwarming measures, otherwise Zheng Lang would have been removed from office long ago.

Zheng Lang also said: "All measures are from scratch. You must also obey the arrangements of the court. If you have any difficulties, find the court and find the magistrates in various places. If you are not convinced, please come to Guizhou to find someone. If you don't do a good job, please write to the court directly."

This is even more vague. What should I follow the arrangements of the court?

Zheng Lang didn't say anything at all.

First, let’s bury this pit. First, taxation is very chaotic. Lingnan taxation is very chaotic, especially the areas where the Han people live, light taxation areas, mature barbarian areas, duty-free areas, and live barbarian areas. Not only are they tax-free, but they are rewarded. However, the latter may not be beneficial, because they are out of track with advanced civilizations and live a hard life. The more remote and comforting the place, the more poor they are.

This is the real Lingnan now, and the same is true in other ban areas.

Developing a rebellious character and being poor, can you not harass other jurisdictions?

This must be unified. Even if the tax situations of the chiefs who came here are different, after integration and some disciples come to study, they will inevitably have questions and ask them to propose solutions themselves, and the court will not take the initiative to force them. It will not only solve them, but there will not be too many conflicts. But it is not possible, there is only one law and force.

There is also the problem of immigration. Guangdong and Guangxi is generally vast and sparsely populated. For example, if Fengzhou is a large state, there are less than 2,000 households. Compared with the people in some county and urban areas, a large number of Han people moved over, which is more conducive to the rule and monarchy of this area. This is the fundamental strategy. It is also easier. Jiangnan West Road, Liangzhe and Fujian Road are all very densely populated, and the land is tight. They are also in the south. They were unwilling to immigrate in the past. One reason is that there was no one in the court, and the other is that safety was not guaranteed. Even so, a large number of people moved from Fujian Road to the Chaozhou area in Guangzhou. As long as they were not done too much, there was enough land for settlement, but if they were said directly in a deliberate tone, these people thought they had suffered a loss, but instead did not cooperate.

I said it vaguely, but I couldn't explain it clearly.

Everyone left happily and took the people of each household as treasures back to each village and cave, but only Zheng Lang was in this matter. Others did not have this prestige and might not convince them. I am afraid that after Zheng Lang, the Song Dynasty would not send such important officials to Lingnan.

There are more affairs, such as road construction and water conservancy construction. Except for a few officials in Guangdong and Guangxi, there are almost no decent water conservancy projects. As well as the expansion of Ling Canals and immigration, these must be placed in the coming year. We must let everyone see that this is the case. A mu of land can produce several stones of grain to generate higher interest and actively cooperate.

Zheng Lang wrote memorials one by one to report to the court.

Pang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, no hurry, the court can afford to wait, I am anxious, I am anxious, Jinghu South Road is asking for money, Lingnan requires a large number of money, and the war continues to fight, and the soldiers need rewards and pensions, and I can't live. Amitabha, God bless you, don't have any major disasters this year.

A large number of Sheman people have not arrived yet. This is not only related to the management of Guangdong South Road, but also to the Yan Road. Attacking the heart is the best and siege cities is the best. It is best to convince them. But some village lords have arrived one after another, which is beneficial, and they all want to ask for it.

Zheng Lang intends to neglect them, so he can look for me, and wait for the Shangsi Festival.

If most of them can be united in their hands, Zheng Lang has the confidence to be an enemy in all respects, but he can be an enemy in some aspects. Moderately soft and moderately hard.

What surprised Zheng Lang was that some businessmen came to Guizhou to pay homage to him one after another.

As expected, he was pursuing profit. Seeing that the south was building roads, Zheng Lang went to Guangdong and Guangxi in person. Nong Zhigao was quickly pacified. In just one battle, no matter who fought, even if Di Qing was beaten, wouldn’t Di Qing be in Lingnan? So some merchants came to see if they could get some benefits like Taipingzhou and Hangzhou. This is the entire Guangdong and Guangxi Road, regardless of the area or population, which is many times that of Hangzhou. Moreover, Zheng Lang fought on Jingwei Road and also set up a market. Can Guangdong and Guangxi Road be destroyed?

It is also welcome, but the same sentence is still the same thing, Shangsi Festival.

At the same time, we are carefully dealing with the affairs of the states and prefectures. No one knows what the future will be like, but it can make people smell the breath of spring hope in the air.

Shangsi Festival is coming soon. Zheng Lang returned home from the state yamen and was suddenly stunned. A beautiful young woman was talking to Yue'er. Zheng Lang asked in a daze: "Why are you here?"

The young woman stretched out her waist and said lazily: "I can't get married anymore, so I have to come to the south to see if Mr. Zheng can take advantage of the old friend's face, let me do some small business and earn some pension expenses."
