Immigration construction and new city planning have been arranged for a month in a blink of an eye.

Time has also come to the end of 198 and early 199. Although Luoyang New City has not yet started construction on the land of Heluo, the vitality has gradually recovered between the four rural areas.

The smoke from cooking stoves is curling, the farmhouses are neat, and the people are no longer sparse.

Of course, it is impossible for immigrants from Yizhou to arrive in Luoyang in batches so quickly. Even if there is a sufficient fleet to carry it, it is necessary to walk for a few months on the road.

Therefore, these new houses and the newly burned wastelands that were originally burned everywhere were obviously not the result of the rectification of new immigrants, but the result of the labor of the local people in Yin, Henan organized by the imperial court.

Zhuge Liang came up with this idea and asked Zhang Yi, who was the chief supervisor of Li Su, to cooperate with him. During the process, he also learned some organizational experience from the Minister of Works Guoyuan, who had been farming for many years.

Zhuge Liang was deeply educated by Li Suzhen's teachings and mastered some modern economic theories. Regarding how to be an infrastructure maniac,

Zhuge Liang also has some concepts in his heart when increasing government investment to stimulate private employment and achieving the "monetary multiplier effect" to prosper the economy.

After he conducted in-depth research on the public, he realized that the 270,000 people in Henan Yin have not grown in population for several years and are even in a peaceful state of negative growth. In the final analysis, he is still living too poor and too embarrassing.

The tax burden is too high, and even the child cannot be raised, and the rate of death of babies is also very high. This is not to say that when Zhu Yan was in charge of Henan, he had already been too harsh in the government and plundering people's wealth.

Zhu Yan had no choice but to maintain the center of the court. In order to maintain the center of the court, he had to support more than 20,000 troops and maintain the court's dignity and the officials of Luoyang.

When he took over, the population was only over 300,000, and if he collected taxes and did not collect high, he would not be able to support these people. This led to "the population dropped by 40,000 to 50,000 for several years of peace."

Now that Zhuge Liang wants to be the Henan Yin, the first problem is to first promote the people and solve the problem of extreme poverty of the remaining 270,000 people in Henan Yin.

So Zhuge Liang asked Li Su for a large sum of money, and their Zhuge family even remitted some subsidies first, and then took advantage of the slack farming season in winter to organize the people of Yin in Henan to use labor for relief and open up land in advance, and also help the upcoming new immigrants in Yizhou to build houses.

Because most new immigrants will arrive only in the first lunar month or even in the early February, if there are no locals working overtime to help them complete the house and deal with the land in winter, they will not be able to start spring plowing in time after arriving next year. It is very important to grab the time difference of one year here.

When doing these work, the court invested in providing building materials, wood, stone and other things. The locals also had wages. The labor price for corvee labor was calculated according to the court's standard "annual labor labor cost of 45 days, deducting the price of 900 yuan."

That is, according to the method of renting and transferring mediocre transfer, a Han people had to work for the court for 45 days free of charge every year. If they didn't want to work, they would pay an extra 900 cents. So the guaranteed wage for the court to provide labor service for one day is twenty cents, and a month is six hundred cents.

Zhuge Liang is now employed by locals at this official guide price to work. Considering that the prices in Luoyang are slightly more expensive and the people are "high in living costs", Zhuge Liang is also responsible for food while paying wages. Ordinary people who come to perform labor can barely survive.

It is still impossible to do something like eating and eating until full in engineering corvee. After all, the ancients were poor for a long time and were afraid of being hungry. If they let them eat openly, many people could die.

Eating like this can be done in elite troops. It is the eve of the war to reward the three armies with full food.

The food Zhuge Liang prepared for the civilians was nothing more than two meals a day and one meal in the morning and afternoon. Each meal was made of three liters of mixed grains, and at least half of them were cheap soybeans, small beans and mixed beans accounted for at least half.

In addition, the DISPLAY produced in Nanyang and Shangyong, and other dry and yellow vegetables, such as pineapple, leeks and radishes.

After all, it is winter, and there are very few fresh vegetables. Only the above three can be barely used in winter without freezing. Basically, they are harvested in November and have not been eaten yet.

Zhuge Liang gave vegetables to the public to save the cost of dry food, not to let the public change their taste and feel delicious. If the cost of fresh vegetables is higher than that of grain, then he would rather give food only to the public to the public.

After all, the "big city disease" in ancient times was very serious. The problem that people in big cities could not eat fresh vegetables was unsolvable until the Liu Bei camp explored the tax reform of "renting, mediocre and transferring" three years ago.

When Yin, Henan, had a population of two million, most urban people could not eat fresh vegetables because the vegetable production capacity in the Heluo Plain was not enough. That is, now there are 270,000 people left to be fully self-sufficient.

However, now we are using the time when winter should be slack in winter to organize high-intensity labor among the people, and the consumption of all food has increased in proportion, so the local winter vegetables that were originally barely enough to eat have begun to be short of.

If you have finished eating the excess consumption part, you have to transport fresh vegetables from other counties remotely. It is better to transport dry food directly, as the transportation cost is lower and the rot and loss is also low.

In the process of implementing all this, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but realize the benefits of the business model that the Zhen family had explored in the past few years.

Two years ago, Zhen Mi observed people's livelihood and combined with the economic characteristics of the reform of renting and transferring mediocre and transferring, she contracted a large amount of land around Chang'an to organize people to not grow grain and grow vegetables to meet the short-distance needs of megacities. The food that vegetable farmers need to eat is then bought from other places.

All farmers within two hundred miles of the capital were organized into the commodity economy trading system, and powerful people organized supply, marketing, sales, vegetables and grain, rather than self-sufficient small farmers' natural economy.

If the population of Luoyang is successfully restored in the future, it will definitely be necessary to use this aspect to reduce the cost of unnecessary transportation losses in the operation of the entire society and improve the welfare of the whole people.

...

Zhuge Liang made so much initial government investment, of course, it was impossible for the people to enjoy it for nothing. After all, the scale of money and grain involved was too large, and hundreds of thousands of people were often raised as government workers, and no one could stand it in the long run.

Therefore, the people still have to rely on self-reliance in the future, and the money spent by the government is required to be repaid by the people.

Specifically speaking of Zhuge Liang's plan, he certainly wanted to give money after he arrived in the future.

These immigrants enjoyed the treatment of "before they came, locals were serving labor and helping you build houses and burning the land," and spent a lot of labor costs. After the autumn harvest next year, they would have to pay additional materials, money and grains of the government to offset their debts.

However, Zhuge Liang was "unleashed without counsel" this time. He did not wait for the immigrants to arrive and borrowed these paid services according to the principle of voluntary immigration. This is different from Mi Zhu's "official usury military farming" and Cao Cao's "voluntary military farming".

In order to avoid being punished for being punished without being taught, Zhuge Liang planned not to charge the people's interest in the first year, and only used them to repay the principal of this part of the paid services they enjoyed in advance.

If you don’t ask for interest, don’t worry about these trivial matters: “I didn’t ask the government organizers to help me with work in advance. The government assigned me to distribute people to work for me and make me owe wage debts.”

This is also a huge difference between Zhuge Liang and Wang Anshi and his later generations in terms of "government construction stimulates the economy" and "government construction" and "stimulating the economy".

When Wang Anshi was working on the Qingmiao Law, he implemented it at the grassroots level. Who cares whether the people are short of money or not? He doesn’t need to borrow money to rush to waste the shortage? He doesn’t have to pay a lot of middle-class self-cultivated farmers. He doesn’t need to borrow grain and forced usury, which makes them bear a heavy interest burden and eventually suffers a tragic repatriation.

(However, Wang Anshi's idea of ​​borrowing money has not been around for generations, and has always been around. For example, it is stipulated that business loans can alleviate the problem of insufficient industrial funds, and should be directed to industrialists who are "not accepting the money".

But you said you wanted to borrow money to organize production. Some of the non-performing banks were afraid that you would not pay it back a few years ago. When you said you wanted to go to speculate in a house, you immediately felt relieved and borrowed. In the past two years, it has been much better to live in a house or not.)

Zhuge Liang's integrity in this regard is much better: if the people take the initiative to ask for borrowing, then they will not ask the people for interest.

The part of the funds that Zhuge family borrowed and relocated were eventually recovered. Zhuge Liang had not yet divided his money to become an official even if he had not yet been able to pay for his own money.

He also understood the truth about Confucius' story of "Zigong redeems people" and must establish a motivational system of "doing good things will be rewarded".

Therefore, the Zhuge family only lost the interest of the working capital that they lend to their own family for one year and would not collect interest from the people in the future. (In fact, it is only nine months, and when the autumn tax is collected in September next year, they will ask the people to pay off their principal)

...

Two days before New Year's Eve, the first batch of tens of thousands of immigrants from Yizhou, as well as Zhuge Jin, the former governor of Yizhou who had just been transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, finally arrived in Luoyang at the same time.

This first batch of immigrants was personally escorted by Zhuge Jin, and he would take office anyway.

It is said that the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs should serve in Chang'an, but the Chang'an court did not have so many civil affairs to deal with, so Liu Bei wrote a big pen in advance and allowed Zhuge Jin to go directly to Luoyang without going to Chang'an, and wait for Li Su's orders.

Eight and a half years ago, Zhuge Jin's career was in its inception, when Li Su was the prefect of Shu County and he was the prefect of Shu County. Later, Li Su was transferred to the governor of Yizhou, Zhuge Jin was transferred to the prefect of Shu County. After Li Su left, he was transferred to the governor.

Therefore, Zhuge Jin's career resume can be regarded as a strict copy of Li Su's trajectory when he was a local official. He either started as Li Su's deputy assistant, or Li Su was promoted to take over the vacancy at the original level.

In eight and a half years, he went from a deputy county level to a provincial level and was promoted steadily. Zhuge Jin also had a lot of experience in how to cooperate with the work of the old leaders.

Zhuge Jin has another advantage when he comes to Beijing this time, which is that he can talk about the past with his second brother.

Since he changed to the governor nearly three years ago, he has rarely cooperated with his old leader in his work. However, his second brother replaced him with the opportunity to listen to his teachings in front of Li Su.

Of course, Li Su and Zhuge Liang were very welcome to Zhuge Jin's arrival. Li Su went out of the city in person and went to the abandoned royal garden ruins in the south of the city to welcome Zhuge Jin. He also held a banquet and asked about his work.

Zhuge Liang's attitude was much lower than Li Su. After all, he had to pay attention to "filial piety and brotherhood" and seemed to be friendly and respectful.

Li Sudu was thirty miles south of the city, and Zhuge Liang even arranged a schedule to inspect several counties in southern Yin, Henan a few days in advance. He welcomed Yique Pass and went to Xincheng County upstream of Yichuan to welcome Zhuge Jin.

"Brother, please be fine. Congratulations to you for being transferred to the Minister of Civil Affairs."

Zhuge Jin also saw Zhuge Liang from a distance. After Zhuge Liang dismounted and greeted him, he dismounted: "Isn't this Henan Yin worthy of joy? My brother will definitely achieve success in the future, and I will definitely be far better than my brother.

Brother Yu entered Yin of Henan yesterday and came from Liang County and Yangcheng. Although he had not seen the situation in Luoyang, he only looked at remote small counties and was well-managed. Today, when he arrived in the new city, the people lived and worked in peace, which made people unforgettable to see the people of Henan, even ordinary farmers, live in brick and tiled houses?"
