Qingzhang land is not a new thing.

It was done during the Qingli period and also during the Jiayou period. It is not new to come to do it in the first year of Xining.

But this time is different from before.

The Qingzhang Tiandi was initiated by the Political Affairs Hall before, but this time it was directly petitioned by the local government, which was a bit unusual.

If it comes from top to bottom, there are policies and countermeasures at the top, which is actually not difficult to deal with, because the actual executors are still the prefectures and counties below doing things.

If the actual executors initiated this matter from the bottom up, most of them were local natives. If they initiated it, it would be difficult for the local gentry to fool them. After all, these people know very well about local affairs.

Chenliu County.

Xu Ying, the magistrate of Chenliu County, welcomed a guest the next day.

It is very rare to visit this time, because the year has passed and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is still early, so this matter is just a serious matter, although it is considered a relative.

The visitor is Xu Ying’s father-in-law Zhang Yuliu.

Xu Ying's father-in-law Zhang Yuliu is the largest landlord in Chenliu County. He is a rice and grain business. After several generations of people, he possesses a lot of land. He relies on rice and grain in the middle of the desolate years to buy a lot of land, and there are countless hidden fields.

Xu Ying's ability to gain a firm foothold in Chenliu County is also related to his father-in-law.

When Xu Ying heard that his father-in-law had arrived, he quickly went out and said, "Mr. Taishan is here, please please, please, I'll ask you to call Guixiang."

Zhang Yuliu waved her hand: "Don't call her anymore. Today I am not here to visit relatives, so I have a serious conversation."

Xu Ying couldn't help but smile bitterly. He couldn't tell what was going on. His father-in-law was coming to the door for guilt.

But the etiquette that should be had is not small, so Xu Ying quickly asked Zhang Yuliu to sit in the top position and listen to the teachings himself.

The father-in-law took out the Song Dynasty Weekly newspaper with a gloomy face and threw it on the table. He buckled his fingers on the newspaper, making a thudding sound: "What's going on?"

Xu Ying smiled bitterly and said, "Taishan, please listen to my explanation..."

Zhang Yuliu snorted: "Don't forget to dig wells when you eat water. You Xu Ying can have today, thanks to the Zhang family. What's going on now?

Haha,... We are county officials in the capital and those who eat the wealth and ointment provided by the people of the Song Dynasty have to make a plan for the world... Joke, you Xu Ying has today, but it is not the people of the Song Dynasty that will be held up by you, but my Zhang family pushed you up with a lot of money and a car with a lot of money. Otherwise, you will still be a poor scholar waiting for a candidate today!"

Xu Ying smiled bitterly: "Taishan is right. If it weren't for Taishan's strong help, the son-in-law would really not have the status he is today, but Lord Taishan, please listen to me..."

There were footsteps coming in a hurry.

"Dad is here...Dad!"

Xu Ying smiled even deeper.

Zhang Yuliu smiled: "Gui Xiang!"

A middle-aged woman who was applying makeup and powder said happily: "Dad, why are you here today?"

Zhang Yuliu suddenly looked angry: "It's not a good thing your husband did!"

The woman's face suddenly darkened and she screamed at Xu Ying: "Xu Ying, what's wrong with you? I've made my father so angry!"

Xu Ying smiled bitterly and shook her head, pointing to the Song Dynasty Weekly newspaper on the table. The woman went over and picked up the newspaper, and looked at it in a glance. The more she looked, the more angry she became.

When she saw Xu Ying's name on the list at the end, she was extremely angry and tore the newspaper apart in a few moments, threw it on Xu Ying's face, and then threw it on her to scratch Xu Ying's face with her fingernails.

Xu Ying rushed to resist and begged, "Taishan is still here, what are you doing? Stop quickly, what is this? How can this be done!"

Zhang Yuliu looked at her daughter's fierce behavior, but she didn't say anything, and looked at her with a sneer. After a while, she said, "Okay, Guixiang, don't lose her moral character."

The woman stopped hatefully, and there were a few blood marks on Xu Ying's face.

Zhang Yuliu looked at Xu Ying in a mess and snorted coldly: "Speak, why is my Zhang family sorry for you? You want to give the Zhang family such a trip."

Xu Ying looked annoyed, hiding the anger under her nose: "Taishan, please listen to my explanation. This matter is not my original intention, and I have to do it too. This matter is not for the Zhang family at all!"

Zhang Yuliu smiled and said, "My Zhang family is the largest landlord in Chenliu. Under Kaifeng Prefecture, the seventeen counties are also the largest landlord. Is this not for my Zhang family? Whose family is it for?"

The woman spat: "Did you initiate this matter by Xu Ying? Did you hold a grudge against my Zhang family for a long time? So you launched this poisonous plan to remove firewood from the cauldron. You are so poisonous. Why are my Zhang family sorry for you? You are actually thinking about coming up with such a poisonous plan!"

Xu Ying suppressed the anger in her heart: "Guixiang, Taishan, you all think it's bad. Listen to me and say it slowly."

Zhang Yuliu snorted coldly and looked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying took a deep breath and suppressed the boredom in her heart.

"...Taishan is a rice and grain business, and has a wide knowledge. He should know that the central bank is developing in the southeastern areas, right?"

Zhang Yuliu's face cleared a little.

“…The central bank built cement roads in the southeast, used four-wheeled carriages, and set up central bank service areas to make the economic vitality of the southeastern roads unprecedented.

In recent years, the southeastern routes, less than one-quarter of the Song Dynasty and one-third of the population, have paid taxes accounting for two-thirds of the annual income of the Song Dynasty!

This situation made the northern territories panic and jealous, because it was related to the promotion of local officials.

In recent years, those who have been promoted and raised have been officials from the Southeast, especially those from the central bank. Because they are familiar with finance and are good at developing the local economy, they have achieved remarkable political achievements.

In recent years, the channels for promotion have been occupied by officials in the south, so that the promotion of officials in the north has been greatly affected.

Therefore, local officials in the north are quite wary of this, so they are privately lobbying the central bank to invest in the north, but the central bank is not very interested in it..."

Zhang Yuliu thoughtful: "The central bank invested heavily in the south, built cement official roads and set up service areas. With the convenience of the service areas, it attracted a large number of businessmen to take over.

Basically, every service area has become a market town in nearby counties and townships, and the central bank makes a lot of profits in it, which is also the reason why the central bank is willing to spend sky-high investments in the early stage.

But when we arrived in the north, because the northern roads themselves are price-comparing and there are many market towns, it is probably difficult to form such a scale.

It’s not that they can’t make money, but they obviously need to make a lot of money less. It’s understandable that they are unwilling to come, or that they don’t come for a short time.”

Xu Ying slapped her thigh: "Shan Tai is worthy of being Mount Tai, you can see the essence inside clearly!"

The woman snorted coldly, "What's the matter?"
