Xia Shun asked about the field affairs in detail, and Du Zhongxiao answered one by one.

The land management and land development are based on 50 mu of each household. At this time, there were about 50 households, and less than 30,000 mu of land were opened. Calculated by one stone per mu, there will be a harvest of 30,000 stone this year, and the results are very considerable.

After asking about the land management and situation, Xia Feng asked: "If you have a few arrangements in this way, if the family has a few families, you should analyze the property in households, otherwise how can you support the land in 50 acres? It is against filial piety to analyze the property in households."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Even if the households are divided, they are mostly in the same village or nearby villages. It is very convenient to move around each other, so why not worry about filial piety? There are unfilial sons in the world, even if they are in front of you every day and are not good at food and clothing, what is the use? The households analyze the property and provide continuous supply every month, and they will also be in the same way. The farmers in the field management department shall be presided over by Baozheng. When the households are divided, they shall decide who the elderly live in. The other households provide several grains and rice every month, and establish a contract as evidence to protect each household. Therefore, although the households are divided, there is no matter whether the elderly and the weak are abandoned."

Xia Shu nodded repeatedly and thought about it. At this time, the five-class tax household system must face a problem, that is, the wealthy households that do not separate the households have many assets, high households and heavy taxes. Although the court ordered and tried three or five times, the grandfather did not divide the households in the countryside, many of them would be separated after the sons became adults. This is a rational choice in the face of the tax system. How can it be banned by laws? Du Zhongxiao, according to his previous life experience, simply let the families in the field stewardship divide the households as long as their sons become resident. The village is mainly single households, which is conducive to management.

Xia Shu read all books, was familiar with ancient affairs, was capable of doing things, and did not stick to various rules and regulations. Du Zhongxiao listed the benefits of timely household registration and nodding frequently. It is not only beneficial to the management of the court, but also to the voluntary family and separate the family in time. Living together to live in peacetime is not beneficial to the court, but it is easy to cause trouble.

After hearing Du Zhongxiao's introduction, Xia Feng asked: "Since the land management is mostly a single household, how to distribute labor service? Each household has one household, once it is served, wouldn't it be a waste of farming? Farming depends on the weather, and you should not miss the farming time. How should this be handled?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The labor service is always in the slack farming period, such as building roads and canals, mostly in winter. The court provides food and clothing, and the households are willing to serve. If the service is carried out in the rest of the time, one person will be collected, and the other families will be helped by the farming affairs in the family, and several families will take turns. The servants want to rely on each household to help each other."

"For the sake of five households, this is how to draw one of the five-dens. But the villagers are diligent and lazy, wise and gentlemen, and unfilial people. There are always people who just want to take advantage of others but don't want to contribute. What should we do?"

"Anyone who is admitted to the insurance company is not only a government agency, but also a household must voluntarily. If someone hates ghosts and hates them, the other households report to the government together and are unwilling to provide one of the insurance companies. After the government checks it correctly, they will be expelled and become retail investors. Retail investors form their own village outside the village and randomly form them as baojia, and the court can levy corvee according to the law. Such families do not send labor service, but use labor service instead of labor service to avoid disrupting the laws of the court."

After hearing this, Xia Shu clapped his hands, his face flashed with joy, and then quickly disappeared, and said, "You have lost the right to educate the people in this way. Those retail investors cannot let them die on their own, but should educate them. If there are people who do well, they should re-engage with the corps."

Du Zhongxiao bowed respectfully: "What my husband said is that this is the negligence of the subordinates."

Xia Xu nodded and thought for a while, "I heard what you said, the field affairs in the camp are in order. Go back and give them to me in detail. If you get the law, you can implement it in this state, not just the field affairs. The method of protecting the army is in line with the ancient meaning of soldiers in the people, and you should not be underestimated. The people who protect the army work in their spare time and serve as soldiers in wartime can ensure peace in the countryside."

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly said, "What my husband said makes sense. However, the land is used for free. The land is not owned, so you can just recruit people. If it is implemented in prefectures and counties, I am afraid that households will be different and the number of households will be uneven. In this way, many methods of land management will not be used."

Xia Xun said indifferently: "Since you know that there are families who are not tolerant of insurance households, they can also be expelled from retail investors. As long as you don't build new villages when you are in the business of insurance, the government will lend money to buy land, and these families can pay back the money within a few years."

Du Zhongxiao couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Where can the government have so much money to lend to farmers to buy land?"

Xia Shu looked at Du Zhongxiao and said, "Before I arrived in Bozhou, I heard that you are good at merchandise. I have been in Yongcheng for a year and have made a lot of money. Since this method is available, why worry about the government having no money in hand!"

Du Zhongxiao was amused and crying. Unexpectedly, as soon as the new magistrate took office, he had the idea of ​​running an industry in Yongcheng. Fortunately, he learned the lesson that fireworks and firecrackers were taken away by the state. Now Yongcheng's industries are not under the county government, either in the field business or in the commune.

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao didn't speak, Xia Shu smiled slightly and stopped mentioning this matter. As a magistrate, he had countless ways to collect money from Du Zhongxiao, and those small measures were not worth mentioning. Of course, as a magistrate, he did not need to make it difficult for his subordinates to do it. When Du Zhongxiao established the commune, he asked the county's public officials to raise funds, and Xia Shu would also do this. When money was needed, just ask Yongcheng to lend.

After Xia Feng returned to the court, he was attacked by the ministers. He originally wanted to be the prime minister, but he only became the Privy Councilor. After a few months of grievances, he was driven out by the ministers and sent him to become a prefect. Xia Feng was very angry and kept writing letters to himself to judge him, arguing with the court officials who attacked him. As soon as he took office in Bozhou, before meeting Du Zhongxiao, he sent another memorial of tens of thousands of words to the court. In the northwest for several years, he did not feel that he was wrong, and even if he did not make any contribution, he would not be guilty. The two deputys were proud, and he was defamed again and again, how could he swallow his tone?

Xia Shu was the crown prince's army when the emperor ascended the throne. The two had feelings for each other, and the emperor had been supporting him. He promoted the important officials in the court, such as Song Qi, Song Xiang and others. Pang Ji and others had a very good relationship with him, not because of their strength to fight back. When he arrived in Bozhou, he was determined to prove that he was capable of managing the northwest well. The disadvantage of the war was not because of himself. Xia Shu could not return to the court, and he must speak out. When he arrived in Bozhou, the first thing he thought of was to carry out the law of protecting the country among the people. This was not for Bozhou, but for the army along the border.

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao didn't speak, Xia Xu said again: "You do business in the local area and make some money, but you still use it for the people to use it for the people, but you can't use it all for Yongcheng. If you have something to do in the state, you need support in Yongcheng. By the way, I heard that a few months ago, you sold dozens of knives of a merchant, which was very sharp. Some even said that it was more powerful than the imperial guards."

Du Zhongxiao hurriedly said, "Don't listen to the scattered people in idling people. There are dozens of them, only twenty. At that time, the county bought some iron tools, oxen and farming. I had no money for a while, so I built some good steel to make steel knives to pay off my debts."

"It is precisely because I heard that you can make good steel there. But since that time, there has been no news in Yongcheng, and I have never heard of buying military weapons again. You are an official of the court, so you must not do this anymore. If you make such a good knife, which is equivalent to military weapons, how can you sell it randomly? The court has many places where you can make good steel. Since you can make good military weapons, you can put them into the court. If you can make good military weapons, the court will have a reward."
