Chapter 86: The Importance of Complete Institutions
Chapter 86 The Importance of Complete Institutions
When it is useful for wealthy households to get married, Yun Zhao doesn't mind giving them some benefits because they have strong financial resources and can do a lot of things.
When the people of Lantian County need their own small county magistrate to make a choice between them and the wealthy households, Yun Zhao naturally chooses the people of Lantian County.
This is because at this time, there are many benefits to choosing all the people. If you choose a wealthy household and get a household, Yun Zhao will be in vain this winter.
As Yun Zhao said, he really doesn't care much about money. He even believes that using money to trade in places like Guanzhong will only make it cheaper for those merchants who have no contribution.
Only with surplus materials can there be a need for transactions and a businessman's living space.
In Guanzhong, except for population trading, Yun Zhao cannot see any business opportunities.
When people have surplus supplies, the merchant class will naturally appear, just like weeds, which cannot be cut, killed, and burned.
After the snow melts, the next step is to open up the land...
Although there is not much wasteland to be reclaimed in Lantian County, due to the reasons of human and brotherhood, Yun Zhao ordered that there should be no free land in Lantian County.
If you have endless land to plant and have not prepared for spring sowing before spring sowing, then others have the right to cultivate your land. In summer and autumn, the harvest will naturally belong to others.
If your land is left deserted for two consecutive years, then the government will take back the abandoned land and give it to the meritorious refugees to cultivate, and become the private land of the refugees. It will be registered by the government and the original owner will never take it back.
Yun Niang doesn't plan to get roses in her beloved garden this year. She dug out rose roots. She is preparing to plant peppers, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and especially peppers. Yun Zhao didn't give a single seed to outsiders, and all of them were taken away by her mother.
"The peppers must be cultivated first, and then transplanted into the ridge-shaped field. Corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes must also be raised, and they cannot be planted slowly like wheat."
Seeing that my mother took Qian Duoduo and her sisters to tidy up the garden, she also raked the floor neatly with a rake, and put a donkey on a grinding of willow branches, grinding the floor finely, which was a model for farming.
"It's better to have all the peppers."
Qian Duoduo was extremely dissatisfied with Yun Zhao's 30% of the pepper seeds. She didn't like tomato seeds. She thought Yun Zhao was just stingy and was still hurting her because of this thing called "permaverbs". Xu Guangqi wrote it clearly on the paper bag containing the seeds and knew that it was not eaten, and it could only be viewed!
Yun Zhao has been greedy for a long time with tomato brisket... As for the tomatoes that cannot be eaten? Eighty-mostly Xu Guangqi ate green persimmons.
Yun Zhao was too lazy to explain to Qian Duoduo, and told Qian Duoduo arrogantly that this thing was the poison he would use in the future and must be planted well. If it is not planted well, use this thing to poison her first.
"My sister has planted it, I'll try it first?" Qian Shaoshao exposed his big head from behind Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "You are lucky. When this thing is mature, we will eat it first. Then we will be greedy for your sister!
But don't tell her first, otherwise we will never wait until the persimmons are ripe."
"Can this thing be eaten?" Qian Shaoshao picked up the bag containing tomato seeds, which clearly stated the word "toxic".
"I'll be the first to eat it then!" Yun Zhao was very sure. After all, he had eaten something for many years and had never been poisoned to death.
"Forget it, it's better for me to be the first to eat!"
Qian Shaoshao was obviously relieved. He didn't think his young master wanted to poison him to death, so he naturally had to say cheap words.
"Okay, you will be the first to eat it. I will eat it when you are not poisoned to death!" Yun Zhao pressed Qian Shaoshao's shoulder with both hands and advised Qian Shaoshao to follow the advice of Qian Shaoshao.
When Qian Shaoshao saw Yun Zhao leave, he hurriedly caught up and said, "We can actually feed the pigs first! Mother Liang from Mingyuelou said that if the pigs can be eaten, I can eat them!"
Since a blizzard came, Yushan has seen another scene of clouds and clouds. The stream flowing from the mountains has slowly returned to its former appearance, no longer violent, and is gentle like a little woman.
Today is the day when the reservoir is opened to release water. After all, it is the first time that it is filling water into the reservoir. Yun Zhao dare not install too much. Before he came here, he just saw the news that the Indians had built a new dam and were hacked by rats. Yun Zhao did not think that the dam he brought to build would be better than the ones he built, so the reservoir was installed with 80% water, so he opened the dam in advance to release water.
With the command of the craftsman, the gates on more than 20 ditches were pulled out together, and then the water flow went down the canal made of stone strips and reached the water wheel. The water flow was bound by the stone strips again, and the water flow became thinner and more powerful.
The water truck was shot out and washed away on the water leaf baffle of the water truck. The water truck first moved for a while, then slowly swayed up and down. After a while, it began to rotate slowly, and soon it ran freely.
A dou of water was raised to a high place by the water truck and poured into the wooden trough in the air. After a while, a farmer on the slope was shouting, "The water is coming!"
Twenty-two ditches and twenty-two water trucks are transported by four high-altitude wooden troughs of different heights. These waters are gathered in the repaired earth canal and run happily into the distance.
"Sir, the reservoir is safe and sound. I think I can store two more parts of water."
Yun Zhao shook his head, pointed to the water that returned to the river and shook his head, "You can't store water anymore. You have to give the downstream some way to survive. I don't want to take you to fight against the people in Chang'an County."
The water official responsible for building the reservoir shook his head and said, "Even when these waters arrived in Chang'an County, they also flowed into the Wei River in vain.
Earlier, Xiaguan had already informed Chang'an County when he was repairing four reservoirs in Beixiang, Nanxiang, Dongxiang and Xixiang. He hoped that they could also build pond and reservoir, but they were scolded back."
Yun Zhao sneered and said, "You will stay in Lantian County from now on, don't go back to Xi'an. You have no effect there. I will transfer you to the water officer of Lantian County.
We are not only going to build reservoirs and ponds this year, but also to build more water conservancy next year. If you have any colleagues who are willing to come to Lantian County, you can invite them together.
Don't worry, the salary given to you by Lantian County will not be silver, copper coins, food, and the greater the official position and the greater the ability, the full amount of your salary."
Official Lao Shui bowed to the end and said gratefully: "Thank you for your life."
Yun Zhao did not support the water official, but sighed and said, "My husband once said that the reason why refugees in Guanzhong are more likely to be more human-made than natural disasters.
Guanzhong Water Conservancy has been built for more than two thousand years. From Zhengguo Canal to Jinghui Canal, Zhangshui Canal, Hedong Canal, Longshou Canal, Liufu Canal, Baikui Canal, Menghu Canal, Lingzhi Canal, and the traffic of the fields is like spider silk. It is the best in the world!
It is these water conservancy projects that ensure that Guanzhong is the granary of the world, and even in the deserted years, it is more than enough.
This time, Lantian County only repaired some former water conservancy ditches, using only 10,000 dan of money and grain and more than one million labor. It took three months to become the current cause.
It’s not how powerful we are, but that we have the foundation laid by our ancestors. As long as we use these foundations and repair them, we can save the people from water and fire. For some reason, no one will do it.”
The old water official cried bitterly: "I only hope that the adults will rise step by step, and can use Lantian to Chang'an and then Xi'an. In addition, Guanzhong, if the adults can always connect the Guanzhong area, it would be a blessing for the people. Although I am old, I will definitely follow the adults to reappear the grand scene of the eight rivers surrounding Chang'an and the lakes are scattered!"
Yun Zhao turned his back and looked at the water in the canal and whispered: "Go, Xi'an agricultural officer, if Jiang Zuo intends to leave Xi'an, he will also attract Lantian."
The old water official was once again grateful and led a group of craftsmen to patrol along the canal.
"What do we want so many useless people to do?"
Although Qian Shaoshao is smart, he is young after all.
"These people have been running a craft for generations. If there is no excellence, why should they be promoted from craftsman to an official?
These people are different from the officials in the yamen. They are all people who can come in handy and must be the best in their own specialized professions.
This kind of person is not useless, but has great use.
