Seeing Zhou Tong's happy look, Zhao Feng immediately smiled.
After spending so long with Zhou Tong, Zhao Feng also felt that Zhou Tong's character was very innocent.
It has to be said that Zhou Tong, Chen Rou, and Shen Chuchu have completely different personalities. Chen Rou has the kind of personality that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Although she looks soft and weak on the surface, she can support an entire family.
Shen Chuchu is just the opposite. She is very strong on the surface, but very gentle on the inside, but she rarely shows it in front of outsiders.
There is only Zhou Tong. Although he has taught her some things about calculating each other in business, Zhou Tong can't learn it. Instead, he has always maintained his current innocent character. This is probably because he grew up with her. Environmentally related.
As the most beloved little princess, Zhou Tong has been very favored since she was a child, so much so that when she came to her fiefdom, she encountered such a thing. However, this did not bring any impact to Zhou Tong. On the contrary, Let Zhou Tong remain cheerful and optimistic.
Zhao Feng shook his head and said with a smile.
"Your Highness, there are several ways to move those people here. I wonder which one Your Highness wants to use?"
Zhou Tong looked at Zhao Feng very curiously. She didn't know what the methods Zhao Feng mentioned were.
Zhao Feng smiled and explained to Zhou Tong.
"People all over the world want to live a better life, so if you want them to move here on their own, we only need to build a place that is suitable for them to survive and provide them with a very good life."
"This is the best policy. Let the people migrate here spontaneously. The advantage of this is that we don't need to look for those people. Most of the people who come here want to have a better life, so they start working I will definitely work harder when I come.”
"The central strategy is to lobby people in poorer areas to move them here and promise them some conditions."
"The next best thing is to have the imperial court issue a transfer order directly to move those people. The advantage of this is that it is simple, but the disadvantages are also obvious."
After hearing Zhao Feng's words, Zhou Tong couldn't help scratching his head in embarrassment.
"Mr. Zhao, since you are already prepared, why do you still ask me? Can't we just act according to the best policy?"
Zhao Feng shook his head slightly. Although this was a good idea, it would take a certain amount of development time to develop this place and attract those people. Before that, they would have to spend a lot of money to develop this place. developed.
"Your Highness Princess, I suggest that we take the next step and move some of the surrounding people here, so that they can help us complete the initial construction here."
"At the same time, we can also use the middle strategy and the best strategy to combine each other. Sometimes the method is good, but it is not the most suitable. Only when used correctly can the most suitable method achieve twice the result with half the effort."
After hearing Zhao Feng's instruction, Zhou Tong nodded seriously.
"I know, Mr. Zhao!"
Seeing Zhou Tong's look, Zhao Feng knew that Zhou Tong didn't remember it at all.
This made Zhao Feng helplessly shake his head, and then sent some people to lobby the surrounding people to let them live here.
At the same time, I wrote another letter, asking the Ministry of Household Affairs to mobilize some people here. After all, there were not many industries here before, and there was not much fertile land, so I did not live here with those people.
But now it has been built very well, and when people come here, they can create more income and value.
Zhao Feng came to Zhou Tong's fiefdom, ostensibly to help Zhou Tong build the fiefdom, but secretly it was to build his own New Deal.
Therefore, Zhao Feng cannot separate these two things, but must implement them together.
Zhao Feng already had a lot of ideas about the construction of his New Deal. The reason why his New Deal failed was not because his policies failed to bring benefits to the people and enhance the national strength of the Zhou Dynasty. .
If this is the case, Zhou Zhen will not be able to carry out these policies without the opposition of those officials.
The reason why these new policies cannot be implemented is mainly because the officials in various places are acting against them, and the four major families are blocking them, so these policies cannot be implemented.
Zhou Zhen asked Zhao Feng to come to Zhou Tong's fiefdom, in fact, just to let Zhao Feng implement all his policies here and let the world see what Zhao Feng's abilities are.
Only in this way will those people believe in Zhao Feng's abilities and believe that Zhao Feng's policies can make the Zhou Dynasty rich and powerful.
However, building a fiefdom is not something that can be accomplished overnight.
During this period of time, Zhao Feng has carried out a lot of infrastructure construction, such as building houses, building roads, etc., and made unified planning for the farmland.
At this time, the appearance of Zhou Tong's fiefdom had changed greatly. There were some projects everywhere and they were under intensive construction. The people in the surrounding area were persuaded by the people sent by Zhao Feng. Later, when they came here, they saw that there were so many people here. They all came to apply for jobs, and they could also make money here, providing a large amount of labor force for Zhao Feng's construction.
With Zhao Feng here to help Zhou Tong, there is no need to consider other things. He only needs to provide Zhao Feng with some conveniences according to Zhao Feng's requirements.
"Your Highness, I plan to build a school to educate the common people's children in reading and literacy for free."
"That's a good thing, okay!"
"Your Highness, many people have no houses to live in after they moved here, so I plan to build some houses for them to use as staff dormitories."
"Can!"
"your Highness…"
"It will be all right!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but opened his mouth. Before he said anything, Zhou Tong had already agreed. How much trust did he have in himself?
However, Zhao Feng really needed such a stage. After Zhou Tong's full approval, Zhao Feng's reforms began to be implemented. One of the most important reforms was to exempt those people from agricultural taxes.
You must know that since the Zhou Dynasty was a country mainly based on agriculture, agricultural taxes were a very important source of national tax revenue. This was clearly reflected in the fiefdoms of these nobles.
What these nobles can enjoy are actually the taxes of the common people. The more taxes the common people pay, the more money they make, and only this money can support their squandering expenses.
