Cai Que asked Duan and Zhang to build water conservancy, but Duan Tianshui was the one who was actually responsible for water conservancy. Why did he call Zhang Jian the magistrate when he was appointed? Duan Tianshui was the chief magistrate?

Water conservancy costs will be very expensive, the court supports it with limited support, and the other side can only provide secretly. Then there must be an official who is good at raising money to make good use of every penny.

But that's not the main thing.

There are too many interests in large-scale projects like this, especially Huating County, where the commerce is developed, the agriculture is developed, the fishery is developed, and there are many big and powerful families. The education is developed here, and many officials are born.

The two of them were not from Jinshi. Even if they were from Jinshi, when they arrived here, they had to be hiding, and if they were tigers, they would be hiding.

Unless a strong master like Wang Ju.

If the emperor has something to do and the political situation of the court changes immediately, then as a radical new party, the court will have a series of personnel transfers, including Yang Chen and the other two. If the old party is changed to Xiuzhou, there must be a clever person and his future boss who are vain and condemned.

Therefore, this candidate must be good at dancing, must be good at managing finances, and must be smart enough.

Duan Tianshui couldn't do it, but Zhang Jian could just meet these three conditions.

In fact, Zhang Jian did a good job. Not only did the court support not be strong, but even if it was strong, he had to find ways to save water conservancy expenses. Moreover, Huating is a wealthy county compared to the whole country, which means that the civil service fee is greater.

Like Shaanxi Road, the people are basically satisfied with fifty cents a day, but in Huating County, if you give 100 cents a day, the people may not be willing to come. It’s not that Huating County has no poor people, but that the consumption here is high and the money is not used as money.

So Zhang Jian came up with several solutions, the first way to change jobs with land.

The government provides food, some utensils, and sheds, and only pays a small amount of compensation. However, in the future, a number of cultivated land will be allocated according to the number of days of work and performance of each civilian.

And now the biggest advantage of digging down and up is that as long as the main canal is excavated, the tributaries on both sides can be used to inject into the sea. Of course, it also means that many swamps and tidal flats on both sides can be developed into fertile fields.

Working this year, after the spring comes next year, the rain will increase, the flood water will come, and spring farming will also be produced. Everyone should rest, so you can allocate arable land in the second year. Of course, the government is only responsible for the steep dikes and rivers sorting and dredging. How to turn these swamps and tidal flats into arable land is the people's own business.

With this alone, the people in Taihu area, whose population is becoming increasingly dense and the annexation is becoming more and more serious, are they moved?

But only this measure is not possible. In this way, the local tyrants will inevitably oppose the loss of tenant farmers. It doesn’t matter if other prefectures and counties oppose it. The key is that the powerful and powerful households in the county cannot oppose it.

So Zhang Jian introduced the second measure, using labor to exchange land and using money to exchange land. The former uses labor to exchange land refers to each tenant farmers who come to participate in water conservancy, while the latter refers to each powerful man. These powerful men and their masters have many servants and children in their homes, and some more loyal tenants asked them to lead these servants to support water conservancy construction, and then allocate several fertile land according to the number of days and performance of work. If you don’t have enough manpower, it’s OK. You can buy it with money, which is of course a relatively cheap price.

So if these arable land are not allocated in advance, who will it belong to in the future?

Either they were occupied by powerful people or turned into official fields.

There are several types of official fields: one is the military fields of front-line officers and soldiers, including various military fields, camp fields, and archers fields. One is the job fields for the welfare of officials. The other is the school fields that support education.

These are all official land in a broad sense. The real official land is the arable land run by the government and rented to the people. It cannot be said that it is not good. The rent collection will inevitably lead to more income than the two taxes, and the national income will increase! The state levy, and the rent fee is relatively low, which more or less suppresses the increase of land rent for each main household. Or it is more tricky, but there are more tricky private land rent!

However, the biggest flaw is that the government's management often has poor management and great change, just like the Wanchunwei built by the Shen brothers. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou waved his hand and made more than 100,000 acres of Wanchunwei a small vegetable garden for Qin Hui's family.

Therefore, when Wang Ju was in Zheng Baiqu, he deliberately submitted a memorial that it would be better to allocate it to various poor peasants than to manage official land in his government. First, it can alleviate the pressure of mergers, second, it can alleviate the pressure of the gap between the rich and the poor, and third, it can improve the bad life of tenants (there are few tenants, and the main household will inevitably reduce the rent of land to keep all tenants). However, for the court, because they are all poor peasants, they dare not evade taxes, that is, the government can completely impose two taxes on these arable land. Compared with the poor management of official land, the court's income has not actually decreased.

Then Wang Juer joined the Secretariat, and the court developed many Jiangdongwei, and many prefectures and counties adopted Wang Ju's measure.

But in this way, this water conservancy has won the support of various powerful people in Huating County at least, and can raise some funds to ease the pressure on water utilization.

It also has another purpose. If everyone is content, everyone should be satisfied to do this. It is the most unsatisfied thing to strengthen people's hearts.

Water conservancy has been built here, and a powerful merchant has thrown a few seedlings down there. This is my paddy field, and it cannot be moved!

And these powerful people often have some background, which is the most troublesome thing. But now, I have allocated these places to each powerful people, and you should deal with yourself.

There are also disputes and dissatisfaction, but overall, Zhang Jian was in Huating County and was as prosperous as a fish in water. Even though he was ridiculous and ridiculous, this guy was better than me back then.

If it is replaced by Duan Tianshui, these problems will not be easily handled.

However, these thirty merchants are different from other merchants.

When the two left the capital, Cai Que sent his old servant to say hello and said vaguely, "There are dozens of merchants, you will settle them in Huating."

Zhang Duan was puzzled. Not long after they arrived in Huating County, thirty merchants came, hinting that it was Mr. Cai who asked them to settle down.

All counties in the Song Dynasty had related household registrations and land books. When Wang Ju repaired Zheng Baiqu, some powerful people were dissatisfied and burned the land books to be slutty with Wang Ju. However, these household registrations and land books were not so standardized, so many leaks were often found. So some powerful people posed a name to entrusted tenants and made dozens of empty households and divided the land in their homes. Well, they were all extremely poor people and there were no need to pay two taxes. If the investigation was not strict, they would become hidden land and hidden land, otherwise so many tenants would say that you would have no land?

Wang Ju also used this loophole to create hundreds of sea tourists. The other side is not mine, it is everyone's...

This is easy to do.

The two of them came to Huating County, and dozens of merchants came, so let's do it.

After the work was completed, the leader spoke. When we heard that the court was going to build a large port, we took out millions of silos to express our feelings and sponsored the two officials' grand event.

Duan Tianshui and Zhang Jian were stupid at that time.

There have been many super rich people in the Song Dynasty who have a family property of millions of people, but millions of people are too far away for Duan and Zhang.

At that time, Zhang Jian had not yet introduced a series of measures, so he looked at them suspiciously and asked, "Mr. Cai asked you to do this."

The man thrust his mouth to the northwest.

Zhang Jian immediately understood that it was Taibao, but it turned out to be the other side.

The man said again, to avoid misunderstandings, please do not disclose this matter, this is our only condition.

A group of people left, and the two were still dreaming. Then these merchants bought land and houses locally and bought some industries. In the words of later generations, they called whitewashing their identities and then sent 200,000 stagnants of money and silk. It was not a lot. However, because of this move, it was too haste to mobilize money and silk. This year, Huating County also received strong support from the government. Next year, it would "sponsor" more money. In short, it depends on the situation, the changes in the political situation of the court and the personnel changes in the officialdom of Xiuzhou, Liangzhe Prefecture.

The government supports more, the other side has less sponsorship, the government supports less, and the other side has more sponsorship. In fact, it is not difficult at the beginning, and the difficulty may be difficult at the end.

"Luping, is there something wrong with it?"

"Brother Ziya, think about it, in recent years, people migrated to the other side, supported gold and silver, market trade, and disaster relief, some were approved by the court, and some were approved by the court, but that time was not upright?"

The best example is that Wang Ju used troops to Dali, and the other side provided a large amount of money and materials. Wang Ju did not explain in detail to the court, but did not sneak into it.

The most awesome example is a small seafarer on the other side who stopped Sun Gu, the prime minister of the Xifu, in the capital.

However, this time I gave people a strange feeling, just like being a thief.

And it's not right. Both Wang Ju know that he went to the other side, but this trip is of great use. The court will feel that he is indebted, but he will respect Wang Ju more. Don't think that it is impossible to use troops to each other across the sea thousands or tens of thousands of miles, but you can travel with each other through sea boats, just like the defeat in Yongle City. This is the case with the court, issuing edicts to invite Wang Ju back.

As for Cai Que, he is even more dignified.

"Is it because the birds are gone... it's not like it either."

It was not Zhao Xu who was the emperor who had all the birds hidden, but the system of the Song Dynasty, just like Kou Zhun was preparing to kill Liu E, but was demoted to Lingnan. Or maybe Han Qi almost forced Zhao Xu to get out of the Taiwan Strait, although the court asked him to leave the capital, he still gave him generous treatment. Wang Ju was not a small official and could be dealt with at will. Moreover, when he arrived on the other side, the court respected and interacted with each other. The court did not respect him. At most, Wang Ju was an indigenous king. What was the relationship with the Song Dynasty?

In fact, Zhang Jian just thought something was wrong and couldn't figure it out.

If they couldn't figure it out, they wouldn't think about it anymore, and the two began to discuss the next plan.

At the same time, water conservancy projects were also stopped in Suzhou. That section opened up the canal between Taihu Lake and Dianshan Lake, and the distance was shorter. Especially now, Dianshan Lake is divided into several large lakes, with an area of ​​almost several times that of the later Dianshan Lake. It has been spread westward, which has completely shortened the length of the entire new canal by half.

The river surface is also wide, but because of the short distance, the project volume is not too large. Even if there is no "Huangpu River", the two lakes will be connected, which will help to divert the water level of Taihu Lake, so it has not attracted much attention from many people.

Besides, Chen Pi is also a master of water conservancy.

The few people appointed by the court this time should be very good, but in fact, we really can't underestimate the ancients.

A long time ago, the country began to pay attention to talents, but there were too many factors mixed in between, such as personal likes and dislikes, background, qualifications, factions, nepotism, personal grudges, human relationships, and so on. For example, after Sima Guangtai in history, it went to Yuanyou’s party struggles. Or Kou Zhun’s employment...

These factors are stuck in it, and they cannot be used well.

The weather was getting colder and the work was completely stopped. Zhang Jian found the merchants and asked them tentatively, but nothing was asked.

In fact, they are not well-informed, otherwise Zhang Jian would have thought of the reason.

But Wang Ju had already heard some wind...

In fact, he had almost no participation in the battle between the Song and Liao dynasties, but he had a lot of affairs at hand. Now the entire Northwest can be said to have been completely destroyed. It was a waste of everything, but it was not all prosperous.

Have to make it happy!

In addition, Wang Ju did a few more things.

Yelu Dafei Slave sent troops and Liao Daozong came to Yunzhou in person, and Wang Ju knew that the overall situation was settled.

The troops behind the mountain were all transferred, and the Song army was ready to leave, and it was inevitable that it would be unstoppable. Not that the Liao Kingdom had only 200,000 troops, but the troops in other regions were no longer time to mobilize support.

So Wang Ju set up the road, and Hetao was divided into Hetao North Road and Hetao South Road, and Jiuyuan, Wuyuan, and Heishan two armies and one state. No matter how many people there were, the organization was first established. Hetao South Road also set up two armies and one state, and the Heqing army was renamed to Shengzhou, Jinsu army was renamed to Yulin army, and Ningbianzhou was renamed to Wudu army. They were all named counties and prefectures of various dynasties in ancient times, but the location was different.

The area from Xiazhou to Yanzhou is established as Lingxia East Road, and the Yellow River from Lingzhou to Xingqing Prefecture is established as Lingxia West Road. The Hexi Corridor is divided into three prefectures, including Hexi East Road, Lan, Liang, Ganzhou, Hexi West Road, Su, Gua and Sha.

The remaining organization is the same, including Huangzhou Road in Huangzhou, Xihe Road in Hezhou, and the original Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Huanqing Road, Fuyan Road, Fulin Road and Yongxingjun Road.

That is, compared with the original plan, several additional ways are drawn. There are two considerations for this.

The first is that this area is too large. Although the population is not large, it is still very wide. Wang Ju’s surprise. If the North and South Hetao are divided into one route, and Shouzhou is in Beihetao, there is no time for police in Nanhetao to rescue them, and if there is a police in Beihetao, there is no time for police in Beihetao, there is no time for rescue them, which means that the troops in his hands cannot be used reasonably. It is more obvious on the Hexi Corridor, how far is it from Shazhou to Lanzhou?

Secondly, the court followed Wang Ju's advice and restored the system in the early Song Dynasty. The border prefectures were still controlled by military generals and also used civil officials to handle government affairs. However, they did not let them constrain the chief generals of the states, but cooperated with military generals to make up for the shortcomings of military generals.

At the same time, the court adopted Wang Ju's opinion and set up border troops in the marginal areas. First, save military expenditure, second, cultivate a group of soldiers who can fight, and third, it can always maintain a certain amount of military strength on the marginal areas.

Giving military generals more real power and having many troops may lead to accidents.

Now everything is two, and the reduction of jurisdiction means that the troops are reduced by half. One hundred thousand people have ideas, and do 50,000 soldiers dare to have ideas?

It also makes the court feel at ease.

The entire northwest allowed Wang Jusheng to make fourteen roads, and the books were reported to the court, and several prime ministers were amused and crying.

But Wang Ju made a point. The court was uneasy. Can the generals let go? Then let the generals become puppets, and they are unable to exert their abilities.

So the court agreed.

Of course, Wang Ju didn't care about the appointment of the chief generals of all walks of life, and in this battle, all the generals also fought out, you can see for yourself.

The second is to lay off troops and set up forts.

The original four routes of the edge have now almost all become large rears.
To be continued...
