Chapter 270 The effect of development
Shandan County mainly focuses on animal husbandry, raising horses, herding cattle and sheep, adding artificial breeding of yaks and fine wool sheep, as well as dairy product production, and specialty onions, the benefits will be more obvious.
Linze County's specialty products are produced in jujubes, Shahe pears, edible fungi and medicinal materials. On the north side of Daqingshan, north of Pingchuan Town, there are open-pit coal mines that can be developed.
Gaotai County is suitable for planting economic crops such as fruits and melons, cotton, flax, etc. It has salt ponds and can produce Glauber's salt and raw salt.
There are yaks, red deer, alpine wool sheep, and iron ore in Sunan, which can be grown in Agaricus bisporus, plateau grapes, and Chinese herbal medicines.
Along the Heihe River in Ganzhou, there are dense rivers, sufficient water and fertile soil, which is very suitable for rice cultivation.
The rice produced is large and long, full, white and pure, crystal clear, rich in rice fragrance and excellent in quality. It is called Wujiang rice and was once listed as the imperial court for tribute rice.
Such a good place and such a vast land to be developed to collect gold and silver, how could Xu Qilin not have the confidence to develop and build it well?
Moreover, he not only needs to build well, but also needs to show his ability at the fastest speed.
Therefore, His Majesty Li Er and Xu Hui thought Xu Qilin was contributing to the public, but they did not know that he had used local specialties such as hairdressing and yaks as the flagship products of Ganzhou, and wanted to open up the market outside.
Of course, in addition to special production, commonly used crops such as wheat, flax, rapeseed can ensure local self-sufficiency and even sell them to the outside world.
However, these plans cannot be realized yet. Resettlement of immigrants, allowing them to live and live with food, and have a safe life. This is the most important task.
Food is the primary material. Although a lot of it has been planted, it will not be harvested until autumn. In the past few months, it basically depends on transporting it from outside to solve the problem.
Dayingku is the main force in transportation, and Xu Qilin has included merchants in it. Don’t you want to buy a mirror, then transport grain and the means of production needed in Ganzhou.
In order to support the early work, Xu Qilin sold ten dressing mirrors in Ganzhou, and the Linglong mirrors had more than thirty sides.
The work of building shops and selling houses to merchants to apply for permanent import and export licenses was also quickly launched. Because of the special policy of "inspection of the citizenship" and then transferring to "city registration", Hu merchants were the most enthusiastic.
This is equivalent to the fact that some Chinese in later generations, who were spending all their money to obtain a foreign "green card".
For Hu merchants, renting land for three years is obviously much slower than buying shops directly, and the property is much slower. Isn’t it just 20,000 yuan, even if I don’t give anything, I just sell a household registration, and there are probably many Hu people who come to grab it.
Naturally, Xu Qilin could not be so unprosperous, let alone slander the Tang Dynasty. If there was such a policy, outsiders should think about how short the Tang Dynasty was, and the user actually sold money.
Therefore, we have to make money, but we also have to give people the impression that the Tang Dynasty is extraordinary and very tolerant of foreigners. With this trick, even His Majesty Li Er was amazed!
In the early stage of the construction project, Xu Qilin invested some of it. Later, the reservation payment paid by Hu merchants could not be spent, and the balance still went to invest in other work.
Just the income from selling shops and real estate made Xu Qilin breathe a sigh of relief. The funding problem was basically solved, so Dayingku didn’t need to invest too much.
Therefore, Xu Qilin reported to His Majesty Li Er again, reported the latest work progress, and told His Majesty Li Er that the reconstruction of the Daming Palace, which was originally scheduled to be next year, could start in advance.
His Majesty Li Er didn't say anything about the reconstruction of the Daming Palace, but he kept thinking about it. Xu Qilin didn't want his sister to live in a broken place with cold winters and wet summers, so he took the initiative to offer to keep half of the income from the mirror as a project payment.
Because the funds required for the development and construction of Ganzhou are not easy to estimate, and this year he is preparing to use troops in Gaochang, His Majesty Li Er delayed this proposal by one year.
Obviously, His Majesty Li Er and Xu Qilin both underestimated the urgency of the Hu people to be naturalized in the Tang Dynasty and underestimated the attractiveness of this policy to the Hu people.
But this is a good thing, which not only shows the demeanor and tolerance of the Tang Dynasty, but also obtains funds for the development and construction of Ganzhou. This can also be regarded as the ancient version of investment promotion created by Xu Qilin!
The shops, residences and streets have been planned on the drawings, and many have been built on the ground, leaving only the city walls built on the outside to become a real city.
Wang Fangyi showed extraordinary interest in the construction of the city, and was even more amazed at the initial bastion designed by Xu Qilin.
Xu Qilin did not design it too complicatedly, but only painted the long-sided city wall into a "w" shape, while the wide-sided city wall is a "v" shape.
"Xu Cheng is really a wonderful idea." Without Xu Qilin's explanation, Wang Fangyi figured out the wonderful things and used charcoal brush to draw a schematic diagram. "No matter which section of the city wall the enemy attacks, they will be attacked crosswise on both sides..."
Xu Qilin also admired Wang Fangyi's ability to comprehend, which was a famous general who built the "Suoye City" in history. Although he was immature, he was already very talented in military affairs.
"That's the principle." Xu Qilin said: "As for the shape, of course you can change more."
"Something can be saved." Wang Fangyi's head was still buried on the drawings, and he pointed his finger and said, "Because of the length of the city wall, you can build a few more concave surfaces, or even make a star shape. If you add the moat..."
Xu Qilin smiled and said, "You will have a chance in the future and design and build a strong city yourself. But there are no unbreakable cities and natural dangers in the world. Passively being beaten is a last resort."
Wang Fangyi raised his head and said, "Please hand over the work of building the city to a certain family, so as to practice and increase experience."
Xu Qilin nodded and said, "There are official rules for building a city. What you need to learn is how to coordinate organizational management, improve efficiency, and build it as soon as possible."
The government has a set rule for recruiting workers to build cities like this. Xu Qilin does not need to be innovative, but only focuses on organization and management, improves efficiency and speeds up.
In this era, rammed earth is the most practical and fastest. Although it is not as strong as blue bricks or as steel and cement from later generations, it is better to be able to use materials locally and the cost is very low.
Moreover, there is the official "Creation Method" as a standard, and the master craftsman of the Ministry of Works serves as guidance and supervision, so Xu Qilin will not be a foreman and blindly commanding.
However, the improvement of work efficiency is not just about technological progress, advanced tools, etc. The important thing is still in organizational management, such as reasonable allocation and overall division of labor.
After observing the three-day process of ramming the earth city and the manpower required, Xu Qilin discussed with Wang Fangyi and reassigned the work so that the processes and processes of each process can be closely connected and reasonably intersected.
Then, he handed over all his work to Wang Fangyi and asked him to adjust it in time according to the progress so that manpower and material resources can be used to the maximum extent.
Taking advantage of the end of the rush to farm and planting, Xu Qilin began to plan and build the villages again, and repaired the roads. The maintenance work was naturally handed over to the villages and towns along the way at the cost of reducing taxes.
In addition to maintaining the roads, Xu Qilin also placed some soldiers who were willing to leave their homes to settle down in each village and formed a public security patrol team.
For these two thousand soldiers in the palace, Xu Qilin hoped that they would all stay in Ganzhou.
Ganzhou will surely become a multi-ethnic settlement. These two thousand soldiers settled down and served the people in daily life and fight, and would become the backbone of stabilizing social order.
For this reason, as early as when they arrived in Ganzhou, Xu Qilin issued preferential policies. The army's land reclamation and cultivation are not in vain. The rewards will be implemented after settling down. What are the exemptions for two years of taxes, what are the exemptions for corvee labor, etc.
The most attractive policy is probably Xu Qilin's promise to match a wife to the bachelor.
This is not empty talk. Everyone has seen a large number of single slaves. Well, they will become "city-based" after working for several years. Moreover, they are pretty, and they work in groups, which makes the men look straight ahead.
Besides, when I arrived in Ganzhou, I found that although this place is small in number, it is just remote and far from Kuhan.
If you marry a wife here and settle your family, you can also move your relatives there. Xu Qilin has issued a policy and the family members enjoy a generous treatment.
The courage to introduce such a policy is naturally approved by His Majesty Li Er. Moreover, His Majesty Li Er has issued an edict to the local government where the military officers are located. As long as the documents for the relocation of Ganzhou are held, the local governments must cooperate.
In fact, most of the people who came to Ganzhou were Guanzhong’s prefecture soldiers, with a narrow land and dense population. Many of the prefecture soldiers and their families were not assigned enough land.
The consequence of insufficient land is that the burden is heavy, which is also an important reason for the collapse of the equal-field system and the collapse of the military system.
Therefore, the land in Ganzhou is vast, and most of the governments are willing to stay after weighing the pros and cons. The local governments in Guanzhong can reclaim the originally allocated land and alleviate the difficulties of large populations and small land.
To put it bluntly, they are all the territory of the Tang Dynasty. There are more people here and fewer there. Ganzhou attracts immigrants, which is just an average of the average.
This shows that His Majesty Li Er's demeanor and confidence have been solid, and he is not very worried about the reduction of the Guanzhong military troops and endangering stability.
On the contrary, the land of Hexi is related to the security of the capital and the success or failure of the Western Regions strategy. How can you punch a heavy fist without a strong arm?
…………………
Time flies, and half a year has passed in a blink of an eye.
Chang'an has not yet been freed from the heat of summer, and the cool autumn has to wait for a while. The Daming Palace in Longshouyuan is still under intense construction and will be completed before winter at the latest.
There are more than these changes. Ganzhou, which was gradually forgotten, and Ganzhou Governor Xu Qilin, were once again recalled by people because of the local specialties that were constantly transported into the capital.
In fact, the changes in the lives of the Tang people in Ganzhou have begun in Chang'an and even other places, but they are not so obvious.
Barbecue and cumin have been accepted by the public, but few people ask where this new seasoning comes from, and only care about the price.
However, this batch of local specialties transported to Chang'an is not only large in quantity, but also novel in nature. For the people in the capital, the mentality of trying it out is inevitable.
Yak jerky, Linze red dates, Sunan red deer antlers, onions, mushrooms, mixed wine, as well as Chinese medicinal materials such as yak* yellow and ginger, are numerous, and they are all marked as trademarks produced in Ganzhou.
Just outside Chang'an City, a long shed was built and various commodities were placed. There were also chefs sent from Ganzhou to fry, stir-fry, and various special snacks were presented to people.
What are the mutton mat rolls, oil bubbles, fried noodles, sauce noodles, chicken rolls... far away, the noodles are fragrant, the meat is fragrant, and the onion and garlic is fragrant, which makes people salivate.
The product exhibition, plus a street of special snacks, Tangren has never seen this before. For a moment, people were crowded and crowded. Even if they didn’t buy products, it would be pleasant to have a feast.
"Wow, there are so many people!" Xincheng lifted the curtain of the car, took a look from afar, and then let out a whisper.
"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Zhao poked his head out of the car window opposite and hurriedly comforted him: "Let's wait there, send someone over and taste all kinds of snacks."
"Is this OK?" Yizi blinked her big eyes, "So many people, have to queue up if they want to eat?"
"I know the people sent by my brother from Ganzhou." Xiao Zhao grinned and was a little proud. He turned his head and told Sun Busan, "Take two servants with you and go find Xu Xiaogui and ask him to bring all the snacks."
Xu Xiaogui is the servant of the Xu Mansion. He went to Ganzhou with Xu Qilin and is now sent back and is already a manager.
Sun Busan agreed and took his servants to the long shed.
Li Lizhi smiled in the car, reached out to take her hand over the new city, and said, "Don't worry, there will be something delicious in a while."
Xincheng giggled and said, "Sister, would I stay at your house for a few more days?"
Li Lizhi pinched the little sister's face and smiled, "You little greedy cat, are you thinking of coming here to eat every day!"
Xincheng snuggled into his sister's arms, looked at the Ganzhou red lily in her hand, and said with a slight pout, "I'm just that big, I want to finish eating in one day, but it won't work!"
"But they agreed, and they will take two days to make it for the royal family to taste it!" Li Lizhi teased her little sister, "Why are you so anxious?"
Xincheng blinked his big eyes, laughed, and said, "I'm just impatient, who told me to know! I can't eat, and I can't even sleep well."
Li Lizhi smiled happily, hugged her little sister and pressed her face.
Li Lizhi was always grateful to Xu Qilin. Her anger improved a lot, but it was not thanks to his prescription. And the emergency medicine cigarettes were really effective. Maybe they saved her life!
Moreover, Xu Qilin is really concerned about the health of royal people including His Majesty Li Er. The medicinal materials such as Masambhagia, Huang Shen, Suoyang, and Cistanthesia in Ganzhou have all been given, and the efficacy description has been added in detail.
Li Lizhi tried a little bit of erectile dysfunction and felt that the treatment of asthma was very effective, which was better than medicinal cigarettes. She also ate hair salad, which tasted very delicious and was also good for her body!
"Here, come!" Xiao Zhao's scream attracted everyone's attention, especially Xincheng, who was anxious to lift the curtain to see.
Sun Busan led his servants to come with a food box, and layed a mat for Ganzhou specialty white reeds under the tree next to the car, and put a snack on it.
Xu Xiaogui was also following him. He knew that he was the royal princess. He didn't say anything, but he was diligent in attending and introducing the name of the snack to the little princesses.
Chapter completed!
