Xie Jue and Feng Yu finished their discussion at the Yamen. It was already past their prime time. Xie Jue was full of energy, but Feng Yu was exhausted. When the second son was sleeping and forgetting to eat, he forgot that she was from a girl's family. She had been frail since she was a child and was not as healthy as a man. She reflected a little on her heart.
Afterwards, he sent a shadow guard to take her back to her house to rest, and he wanted to hold the senior officials of the Yamen to discuss matters all night long.
Feng Yu sympathized with the officials in the yamen in her heart. When she left the yamen, Qiuxiang secretly said, "Girl, the young marquis came here at the time of Xu, and then left quietly."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"You and the second young master are busy, and he doesn't want to disturb you."
Feng Yu was so busy that she forgot the time and had a simple meal in the Yamen. She didn't see Xie Xun. The second young master said that Xie Xun was busy with military affairs. Did he come to see her for something?
She asked Nuanyang to ask Xie Xun if something was wrong. Xie Xun felt an unknown fire in his heart. When could he come to her if something happened? She and her second brother had such a pleasant chat. Xie Xun had never seen Feng Yu talk to anyone so talkatively.
.
"It's nothing, I have nothing to do."
Nuanyang was confused by the yelling and secretly asked Feiying, "What's wrong, Master?"
Fei Ying thought to himself, since the death of the Hou family, when have the Marquis and the Second Young Master been in a good mood? The Second Young Master is intangible in his emotions and anger, while the master's irritability is visible to the naked eye.
The girl was having a cold war with her master again. Today, the military was discussing matters, and several proposals were rejected by the veterans. It was inevitable that her mood would be impetuous.
Feiying asked, "What will the girl do tomorrow?"
"The girl has asked some experienced farmers and people who are good at repairing canals to go to Daling Mountain tomorrow."
Daling Mountain is the most densely populated farmland in Ningzhou. Outside the south city gate, the entire Daling Mountain is military land and is the property of Zhenbei Hou. Su Yuejiao spent six years in Daling Mountain and transformed the six mountains into
They have all been transformed into hilly terraces to conserve soil, store water, and increase crop yields. Originally, these six mountains had dense vegetation and fertile land, but now they have become cultivated land. Unfortunately, Ningzhou is arid and does not have rainy weather. Naturally,
Irrigation is very difficult. It is difficult to store water in mountain pools, so canals must be built to divert water.
Feng Yu had Su Yuejiao's letters. Before the peace talks, Su Yuejiao planned to build a second ditch and expand planting near Daling Mountain. There was not much area suitable for farming in Ningzhou, so she could only rely on land reclamation.
Feng Yu didn't have much knowledge in this area, but she was good at brainstorming and invited more than a dozen old farmers and craftsmen who had built the first canal to listen to their opinions.
She wants to open up wasteland in Jinzhou, Xizhou and Huangzhou, and needs talents and knowledge reserves in this area. Only handbooks are not enough, and she needs on-the-ground experience.
She circled a test field for two old farmers. As long as it can increase the yield, they can test it in any way. If the method is effective, it will be promoted in the city. By noon, she was hungry and the sun was blazing. Feng Yu was also dizzy from the heat. She wore a
Wearing a silk hat, it could not block the scorching sun. It was so hot that I was sweating. I was panting while hiding in the shade of a tree and drinking herbal tea.
This land is needed to ensure military supplies, and is used for cavalry farming and warfare. When the war is busy, it will be leased to civilian households. What about the land allocated to the people? Ningzhou is to accommodate the Ningzhou cavalry. It is the largest city in Yanyang and has many military households.
, many households are also tenant farmers, Feng Yu also thought of a question, what if after the fields are allotted to farmers, customers come like clouds, and more and more households settle in Ningzhou in the future?
Moreover, now that households have their own land for farming, what should they do if someone has objections to the military settlements? Feng Yu visited five military settlements in Ningzhou in one day, and Su Yuejiao converted all the mountainous areas in the south and southwest of Ningzhou into military settlements.
Although no civilian land was occupied at that time, most of the land was cleared by the army. Due to good management and emphasis on production, these five military villages seemed to be the most fertile farmland in Ningzhou.
Under this kind of distribution, there will definitely be uneven distribution, and there will be civil unrest. Feng Yu pondered, and suddenly had a very bold idea. Her cheeks turned red with excitement, and she went to Xie Jue to discuss it.
She wants to thoroughly implement a new type of land policy in Ningzhou City, and put all the land under the name of Ningzhou Prefectural Government. Everyone can rent the land for farming, leaving only two military villages for Ningzhou cavalry to farm.
Taking care of both war and war, after gathering all the land in the hands, it is leased to the people, and then taxes are collected, which can be crops in the fields or money.
In this way, the government will have more money in their hands. As long as they have money, they can buy and sell military supplies from all over Yanyang. This will also increase the enthusiasm of the people and get refugees from all over Yanyang to settle down.
Those young and middle-aged people who are hungry and have the ability to work will be attracted to Ningzhou by this policy. Those who win the hearts of the people will win the world. Ningzhou City can expand rapidly through the demographic dividend.
Xie Jue's idea coincided with hers, and he even thought of it earlier than Feng Yu. He proposed this policy to his masters last night. This is a policy that Yanyang has never implemented in hundreds of years. It is extremely difficult.
All the land belongs to the government. If the young marquis overthrows Yanyang in the future, all the land will be owned by the state. The land can no longer be bought and sold, but can only be leased.
The clan exploded first, I absolutely disagree!
It cannot be implemented in the whole territory of Yanyang, but it can be done in Ningzhou City. First of all, the military garrison in Ningzhou City itself belongs to the Zhenbei Marquis. It is the land that the army opened up wasteland, farmed and annexed. There are also clans in Ningzhou, and they have land in their hands.
The government just needs to compensate him and get his land. Or he can use strong methods to transfer it directly to the government.
If this is the case, it will definitely arouse public anger and the clans in Ningzhou City will definitely resist.
Their brothers wanted to rebel, but the memorandum had not yet been released, so they could not arouse public outrage, so they could only spend money to buy it. When Xie Jue proposed it, the master of the government office thought that he was outrageous. This was unprecedented in Yanyang, and all the money was returned to the government office to serve as the national treasury.
, this is simply incredible.
Xie Jue thought it was feasible. The only worry was that he had no money.
The third girl thought to herself that the second young master was indeed her soulmate.
"I have money!" Feng Yu said decisively, "Buy!!"
As long as Xie Jue has the courage to implement the policy, she will pay to buy all private land.
Xie Jue was quiet for a moment, "...are you so rich?"
The Xie family rebelled from Kyoto. Ironically, their ancestral property was almost all in Kyoto and Jiangnan. Now it has become the private property of the Yanyang royal family. Xie Jue and Xie Xun really have little money in their hands.
"I calculated on the way to you that I can buy all the private land in Ningzhou and lend it to you!" Feng Yu felt that she was very generous, "No interest is charged."
"Okay!" Xie Jue said calmly, "When can I see Yinzi?"
Feng Yu frowned and said, "Before that, the government system and the ownership of Ningzhou City need to be unified first. Although the army is stationed in Ningzhou City, the government office is still the master of Mr. Li. Now that they have rebelled, the old system of Yanyang
There is no need to stay."
Xie Jue nodded, "We have discussed this point. There will be no government offices in Ningzhou City in the future. I know Xu will make himself the king, and everyone will respect him. I will rearrange the subordinate officials in the city."
He is really lacking in skills, has a lot of waste waiting to be done, and is in urgent need of talents.
"Okay, Jinzhou can transfer you five million taels of silver. There are many thieves and bandits along the way, so we may need to send a team of cavalry to escort you."
"Okay!" Xie Jue made a decision for her and Xie Xun very neatly, "We will leave tomorrow and I will lead 50,000 people to Jinzhou to escort Bai Yin with you. You write a letter first and I will rush it eight hundred miles away.
Send it to Jinzhou first, let the merchants in Jinzhou City collect food and grass, and escort it back with the cavalry."
Feng Yu secretly thought that the second young master really plucking his hair when a goose passes by, and leaving his skin when an animal passes by.
Then I thought about it, Xie Xun went to Jinzhou with her?
"The cold war between you in Ningzhou is no different from the cold war on the way to Jinzhou. Don't waste your time." Xie Jue said in a cold voice, "Find a way to convince him to stay in Jinzhou."
