Liu Bei set the tone for this matter, and his officials had nothing to say but nodded in agreement.
However, many local officials have some doubts about this "collective farm" which is said to be derived from the policy of military and civilian settlements, especially the statement that the land belongs to the collective rather than to individuals. They are somewhat concerned about it, but they just don't know how to say it. .
Only a few people have noticed in a short period of time that if land is attributed to the whole and not to individuals, then how can one increase personal assets by acquiring land and plundering it?
At that time, the acquisition and sale of land will need to be carried out under the supervision of the government and need to be registered. Private one-to-one trade will not be recognized. Once land is purchased in this way to increase assets, how can the property be hidden? , What about avoiding taxes?
This is not a friendly policy for wealthy individuals who are interested in expanding their personal and family wealth.
But for the government that wants to expand tax sources and consolidate its tax base, the benefits are huge.
Because the implementation of this policy is obviously driven by justice, their doubts can only be buried in their hearts and cannot be expressed, because this consideration itself is not something that can be expressed verbally.
Later, the Liangzhou government began to register the population controlled by the government in accordance with the basic principles set by Liu Bei.
According to records in the Han Dynasty, there were regulations on the establishment of households at that time. Generally, there were five families as neighbors, five neighbors as li, four li as clans, five clans as parties, five parties as states, and five states as townships.
In other words, five hundred households are called a party, and 12,500 households are called a township. The two words township and party are used together to refer to the township, that is, the people from the same village.
However, in terms of actual operation, with the changes of the times and wars, natural disasters, plagues, etc., such a standard household registration model cannot be implemented, especially in border areas like Liangzhou, where some places have grassroots organizations, and some places have been abandoned. .
Since it's abandoned, let's follow my plan.
Liu Bei stipulated that collective farms need to ensure a certain production capacity and number of people. Three hundred households should be regarded as a collective farm as the basic unit, eliminating the establishment of neighbors and the like, and directly connecting the collective farms with county managers, with a flat Integrated management reduces management costs and improves management efficiency.
If there is anything to do, just say it and do it directly, eliminating those boring intermediate links, minimizing the number of unnecessary management personnel, and saving a lot of dirty things.
Therefore, officials from Liangzhou Prefecture and Hanyang County Prefecture followed Liu Bei's orders to make comprehensive plans and arrangements for the restoration of agricultural production in the abandoned fields. The initial rations for farmers in the collective farms were also allocated by the government on a per capita basis.
Until they had the first harvest of food.
Because this group of captured people included Han people and Hu people, some had mastered agricultural production technology, and some had not, some were honest, and some were dishonest, so Liu Bei decided to adopt a militarized approach to the initial collective farms. Management to establish order.
He looked for elite soldiers from his own army who were literate and had experience in farming to carry weapons and serve as "instructors" for collective farms.
He wants to use military management methods to let the guys in these remote places who are not very willing to obey management feel the "light of civilization" from the Central Plains.
…
To deal with these untrained children who live under the law of the jungle, we must be ruthless when necessary, use thunderous means when necessary, and punish severely when necessary. Without strict management to create order, there will be no order in the collective farms.
As Dong Huang once said, Liangzhou people sleep with knives in their hands since they were young. It doesn't matter if they don't know how to plow the fields. They can grab food to eat. If they don't know how to fight, they will die. This is true for the Hu people and the same for the Han people.
Facing such a group of people, only the Han army that defeated them and carried a bloody and murderous atmosphere could intimidate them.
While frightening them, we must also provide them with a certain amount of cultural education. The government and the army can play a good role and a bad role, so that they can learn to read and learn agricultural production techniques, and from time to time do some activities such as sending warmth.
After going back and forth for a while, these unruly guys got used to the stable days of sunrise and sunset, and the order of the farm was established, and they naturally evolved into "rule-based and orderly" people. Good people".
A series of supporting measures were issued, and a series of supporting resources were issued. One after another, state officials ran in and out, rushing to implement the will of the state pastor Liu Bei.
While matters regarding agricultural production and civil affairs began to proceed, Liu Bei also had a comprehensive understanding of the steel smelting and animal husbandry in Liangzhou.
There is nothing much to say about steel smelting. It is basically the same as Youzhou. Private operations are allowed, and the government sets up iron officials to collect taxes. However, due to the war, steel smelting production was severely damaged, so funds need to be invested in restoring production.
As for animal husbandry, it is mainly in the hands of powerful people, Qiang people, Huns and other groups, leaving relatively few state-level animal husbandry facilities under the control of Liangzhou officials.
As before, due to poor management and war damage, many animal husbandry industries were destroyed. Both the court and the local government suffered heavy losses. The government-run animal husbandry facilities in Jincheng County, Longxi County were destroyed by the rebels. Take a lot.
On the contrary, this time the five-county conquest plan captured a lot of money, especially Zhang Fei and Xia Houyuan. Together, these two people captured more than 100,000 livestock for Liu Bei, including cattle, sheep and horses.
Therefore, Liu Bei is not worried about not having enough livestock for the time being, and plans to restore and build the Liangzhou government's own animal husbandry institution in Liangzhou to raise a large number of cattle, sheep, and horses.
Lin Lin finally came down, and Liu Bei sighed.
Fortunately, he is not a person who pays attention to personal material enjoyment. If he pays attention to personal material enjoyment, he will not be willing to spend such a large amount of money to restore production and construction in Liangzhou.
Really, destruction happens overnight, and recovery requires a long time and greater initial investment. How about killing people and setting fires with golden belts, repairing bridges and paving roads without corpses?
Liangzhou was destroyed thoroughly and badly enough that Liu Bei wanted to start rectifying it, but found that there were problems everywhere and places that needed to spend money. It was a bottomless pit.
Whether the 400 million yuan of wealth he brought can support the initial results of the Liangzhou renovation plan needs to be carefully evaluated.
During that time, Liu Bei was quite worried about food and tea. He spent every day with his subordinates making calculations and making various calculations. They all felt that the prospects were not very good.
…
Until one day, Liu Bei overheard someone from his subordinates saying that Liangzhou salt was more bitter than the salt eaten in Luoyang, and he was not feeling well these days.
This complaint awakened Liu Bei's memory.
Yes, why did I forget the salt?
In fact, he realized at the earliest that there was something wrong with the salt he was eating, it was a bit bitter, but at that time he couldn't afford to eat, so how could he think about salt?
It can be dealt with in one go.
Later, when he became rich and prosperous, he began to care about salt and was able to spend money to buy salt that was of slightly better quality and less bitter.
After observation, he realized that the salt was boiled or precipitated from salty brine without filtered impurities. There were many impurities mixed in it, so it tasted bitter.
At that time, he thought about taking advantage of the fact that there was no salt and iron monopoly policy in the Eastern Han Dynasty to produce fine salt and sell it, so as to obtain huge wealth and reach the pinnacle of life.
But he immediately thought about the matter involving salt. If he didn't have any strength to run it rashly, he might be making wedding clothes for others... No, he must be making wedding clothes for others.
Maybe even your life is at risk.
Moreover, he was used to eating this kind of salt at that time, so he put the matter aside for the time being.
Afterwards, there were constant calculations and constant drilling, and there was no thought of making money at all.
Until now, he has become successful and famous, and has become a heavyweight among the people who stand at the top of the Han Dynasty. He has flourished in military, political and academic circles, has military power, and can have direct contact with the emperor and the eunuch Zhang Rang.
No matter from which perspective, Liu Bei realized that he seemed to be qualified to manage the salt industry.
And he further thought that just a little to the west of Jincheng County was Qinghai Lake, with a large salt pond next to it.
