The chief doesn't understand, so how can he calculate it? Kill the rich? Do you know how people get rich? Isn’t it possible to get rich through hard work?
"Well..." Zhu Wentian looked at the chief and lowered his voice: "Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng."
Li Chang suddenly felt chills, he knew what this was.
Zhu Wentian continued: "Cang Tian is dead, Huang Tian should stand. If you are aged in Jiazi, the world will be auspicious."
"Hanhan, didn't you mean that I..."
"When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill all the flowers after they bloom. The incense array will penetrate Chang'an, and the whole city will be filled with golden armor." Zhu Wentian was not disturbed.
"Hanhan, I really can't do it, you already said it..."
"The one eye of the stone man could stir up rebellion in the Yellow River. What are you thinking? I'm just going to tell you something and give you an example. Get up, are you tired from riding your horse during the day?"
Zhu Wentian had no choice but to go over and pull up the lieutenant.
"You told me earlier! I thought you wanted to rebel! I wasn't prepared!" The chief sat on the chair and complained Hanhan.
"What are you preparing for? As long as you can achieve your goal, you don't have to sit on that chair.
I mean, let’s promote the vegetables and flowers in greenhouses in winter. Some people just don’t want to spend money.
The method I used is relatively cheap, I don’t know if it’s appropriate or not. What others earn through their own abilities and what I save through frugality, should I use it?
Let me put it another way: this year, Luoyang shows off its charming appearance, and the prince, King Qin, patrols the border with him. Hundreds of wealthy households are about to be destroyed, and they ask for mercy from the falling snow peony.
We use special means to encourage the peonies to bloom in the winter in the greenhouse, and then find people to promote them, so that people will buy them. "
Zhu Wentian said the method, but this operation is not grand enough, can't it be upright? Do you have to do this?
"If we don't do this, can we make money?" The manager understood and refused from the bottom of his heart.
"So you can't be the emperor! Let me tell you another honest way to make money. Luoyang must be an important place, and we have to occupy it."
Zhu Wentian smiled and told the chief how to operate here in Luoyang. It was impossible to ignore it.
…
Luoyang has a small population, many mountains, and many rivers.
Zhu Biao was waiting for the team to arrive and took everyone to soak in hot springs. Luoyang has never been short of hot springs, and there are hot springs specially used by officials.
The craftsmen and sergeants took turns to relax, and then some of them went into the mountains under the leadership of local hunters.
In late autumn, birds and animals are eating hard to store fat for winter.
After soaking in the hot springs, Zhu Biao, Zhu Chong and others drank tea and ate dried fruits with Yu Yongzhong, the magistrate of Luoyang Prefecture.
Yu Yongzhong only took office as the prefect of Henan Prefecture last year. He has been here for more than a year and is only moderately familiar with the entire Henan Prefecture. Anyway, he cannot possibly visit all the counties.
At present, the entire Henan Prefecture has a small population, Luoyang is even less populous, and there is not as much population as Shaanxi, where Zhu Ping is going to join the vassal state.
This is the case in Henan Prefecture every time there is a war, especially in Luoyang. After a war, many people from other ethnic groups come over.
Yu Yongzhong introduced the local summer grain situation to Zhu Biao and Zhu Ping, which had already been shipped to Yingtian Mansion, and then talked about the people's labor service.
There are still some people who have not served this year, and they will be allowed to build river embankments after a few days.
It seems that it is not enough if the people's affairs are not arranged for one month every year. The people need to plant wheat first.
Zhu Biao took out the paper that the headmaster had given him when he was soaking in the hot spring, looked at it, and said to Yu Yongzhong: "Prefect Yu, are there any people who will not plant winter wheat this winter and who are not serving in the military?"
"Of course there are people. The place is not good and they can only grow rice. They will be idle after harvesting the rice." Yu Yongzhong put his hands on his legs and answered respectfully.
"In this case, it is better to ask them to plant trees. Luoyang has many mountains and hills. It is difficult to plant trees in high mountains, but it is convenient in hills.
Select hills with lots of weeds or relatively barren hills, clean up the weeds, and use cuttings to plant peach trees, sand pears and other trees that can be cut in winter.
In addition, the Ringo fruits in Qianyuan are larger and produce more results. Well... let's arrange manpower to get Ringo fruits.
Magistrate Yu only planted peach trees, sand pears, etc. The peach trees could be of different types. After two or three years, they would bear fruit, which would be regarded as a contemporary political achievement. "
According to what was written on the paper, Zhu Biao said that there are plains in the local area, which account for a small proportion, and the people have used everything they can.
There are only unused areas on the mountain that can be used as economic trees. They can only be burned as firewood. The trunks that cannot be used to build houses and are not medicinal materials are simply turned into firewood.
Yu Yongzhong listened carefully, and he agreed most with the prince's last words.
If you lead the people to plant fruit trees, they will bear fruit in the future. If you are no longer in Henan Prefecture, you will have to take credit for your political achievements.
"Your Highness, there are few people who are not serving, so I'm afraid we won't be able to plant a few mountains." Yu Yongzhong thought of the key question.
Planting trees is just a matter of planting a few hills, how much political achievement can you achieve? Ignore it?
Zhu Biao looked at Yu Yongzhong and nodded: "Prefect Yu is really thoughtful, so let the people who have finished planting winter wheat go up the mountain and give them wages."
Yu Yongzhong: "..."
He had a look of helplessness on his face, and when he gave him wages... where could he conjure up the money? I don’t have any money! The taxes collected must be handed over, and the land tax is only left to pay salaries to the officials.
Can other money and food used for disaster relief be used as wages for the people?
Every year, people are expected to serve for one month to work! If I had known, I would have waited this year!
"Prefect Yu wanted to know how to do it. Yes, when the people cleared the original trees and weeds, they had more firewood.
A woodcutter can feed his family by collecting firewood and selling it. If the common people are not skilled enough, the firewood they get every day can always be enough to earn wages.
In addition, you can borrow money from rich households, and the fruit trees will bear fruit. When the fruits are sold, the money plus interest will be returned to the rich households.
Or rent the mountain to rich families, and we help clean it and plant fruit trees, and the rich families pay.
After that, when it bears fruit, the fruit within three years will be sold to rich households, who will find people to pick it themselves. "
Zhu Biao saved Yu Yongzhong's face and told him the method written on the long paper in the name of the other party's idea.
Yu Yongzhong's face turned slightly red, it turned out there was a way!
However, he still hesitated: "Rich households are unwilling to pay, but I cannot force them."
"The greenhouse will be built in Luoyang in a few days. When the vegetables come out, it will be very profitable. Once the vegetables are sold, the loopholes can be filled."
Zhu Biao mentioned important things, and the imperial court began to send people to various places to build greenhouses.
The income is said to go back to the palace, but it needs to occupy land, so leaving some money to the local government as land use fees can give local officials some living expenses.
It doesn't matter if the officials are greedy. If they go back and confiscate their homes, they might be able to make money back.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, this matter will be easy to handle." Yu Yongzhong is confident, and he will find a way to persuade the wealthy households to pay.
When the time comes, you can sell the vegetables and pay them back. You don’t have to wait for several years for the fruit trees to bear fruit, which will worry the rich family.
Who knows how long you, Magistrate Yu, will stay in Henan Prefecture? You leave and another official comes over. If he doesn't recognize it, can we still rebel?
It's just two or three months' waiting. It's impossible for him to be transferred immediately. Where will he go in the winter?
No more today, thank you!
