Chapter 127 Zhang Zongde
And the people who have been resettled now are treated well.
On the one hand, He Xi hopes to retain people here, so there are special subsidies for this place. There is almost no tax, and it can even work and provide food for hundreds of households. On the other hand, the land is very liberal. As long as it can be cultivated, the land belongs to the people.
And the canal also solved some irrigation problems.
There is essentially no shortage of water in the Northeast region. Not to mention, the water in the canal comes from two sources. One is the water in the Liaohe River and the other is the water in the Songhua River. Let’s not mention the water in the Liao River for now, let’s just talk about the water in the Songhua River, because the place where the canal intercepts is still the upper reaches of the Songhua River, and it is mostly water from the melted snow of Changbai Mountain. That is to say, this water is different from some rivers in the Central Plains and even the south.
Generally speaking, in the Central Plains and the South, winter and spring are the driest times. After all, many places plant two seasons, and whether there is a lot of water in spring will directly affect the harvest. But it's different here. The entire Northeast is planted for one season. Spring is also when the snow melts, and there is abundant water. Water from the canal is used for irrigation, which does not affect shipping at all.
Of course, there is not much land on both sides of the canal now. What would happen if there were more land is another matter. At least it won't affect it now.
In addition, although the Mongolian elders broke away from the Muhuali family, the Muhuali family is still a family of hundreds of families. It has always been able to maintain people's hearts. There are some things too. When they first surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the Muhuali family was in the most embarrassment. This embarrassment came from two aspects. On the one hand, when we were in the northeast, Naha was already at the end of its rope. Otherwise, he would not surrender so easily. On the other hand, after the surrender, Naha was extremely nervous when Chang Mao appeared. Do whatever it takes to clear the relationship.
How to clear it?
Of course it’s money.
Almost all my savings were squandered. But even so, when it came to settling the Mongolian elders, it was hard to do anything. I still gritted my teeth and gave him a sum of food. When the news of the old man's death came. At that time, Ha Cibuhua already had the title of Duke Zhongzhou, and Naha Chu also had the title of Marquis of Haixi. The Muhuali family has its own place in the new dynasty, and is considered a member of the noble family.
Ha Ci was even more generous in doing things without spending money. He gave the old man a funeral fund and even left a famous thorn for Zhang Zongde so that he could go to Zhongzhou Bo if needed.
Ha Ci did not do this, naturally it was not just for one person. But for living people to see. After all, one of the reasons why Ha Ci Buhua was reused by Lan Yu and Fu Youde on the battlefield was that although the five members of the Muhuali family had changed their appearance, they were still the elite of Mongolia today. I have the foundation and need to make some adjustments. Perhaps not as good as the old foundation left by Ye Wang, the Shenyang Three Guards. But it is stronger than some ordinary guard troops, and the Ming Dynasty has always had many elites.
But the problem is that every elite team has its own owner.
If you lose too much, you will be in trouble. Of course, Lan Yu and Fu Youde are not afraid of this trouble. But one thing more is worse than one thing less. As for the elite members of the Muhuali family, no one would cause trouble even if they were damaged. Even Naha and his two sons are happy to see the success.
This is also their declaration of surrender, and their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty must be written in blood. Only then can the family of the founding ministers of the Yuan Dynasty become the lineage of the Haixi Marquis of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the more important it is to win people's hearts.
It is for this reason that Zhang Zongde used this money to open this store. Of course, the cost of opening a store here is also very low. The houses on the streets were all built by oneself. A few hundred military households plus civilian households would become a small village in later generations. Even for a long time in later generations, when building houses in rural areas, all one had to do was prepare materials and everyone helped each other.
At least until now, the health center has no intention of levying any business tax.
Zhang Zongde only needs the cost of materials to build the house and the purchase cost. As for the busy farming season, I close my shop and go to farm.
And there are some benefits to opening this store.
There are still very few children among the hundred households. After all, the guard station has just been built. Even if there are children among the officers, they will not let the children come with them. As for the people who are resettled here, most of them are Han people who followed Naha. The mortality rate outside the competition is very high, and children and the elderly are the most vulnerable to death.
It is estimated that Zhang Zongde will open a private school in a few years.
Even now, he writes letters for himself and is very familiar to hundreds of households here.
Without him, scholars will be respected everywhere. Especially here, there are no serious scholars, including Baihu, deputy Baihu, and the officers below. It is estimated that hundreds of households are literate, and very few of the officers below are literate.
Although Zhang Zongde only read some books with his parents. But it is already very respected here. Everyone calls him little scholar.
In addition to the merchants coming and going, some also need pens, inks, paper and inkstones. Although you can't make much money. But it can be maintained.
Naturally, He Xi didn't know all the things involved, nor did he know the impact of these changes in the times on ordinary people.
If history had not changed, this Zhang Zongde might have died outside the Great Wall. There is no future at all. Perhaps he is now staying in the Ming Dynasty, and his household registration should not be in Liaodong, but in Peiping. Or, as part of the Muhuali family, they migrated to Yunnan. Eventually he became a Yunnanese.
Although I don’t know what kind of fate Zhang Zongde had in history. But as far as Zhang Zongde is concerned, his current position is the most promising. Because of the Liaosong Canal, it will be due to the development of the Northeast. It will become more and more prosperous, and maybe even an economic belt like the Grand Canal will be formed here in the future.
By that time, I don’t know how much Zhang Zongde’s worthless house will be worth. Not to mention, as a scholar, Zhang Zongde will encounter more opportunities during this great change. You can even become a trendsetter of the times.
King Yan glanced at the bookshelf. There were only a few hundred books. Three hundred thousand, four books and five classics, hundreds of schools of thought. This is the most common book with the largest circulation. There are also laws of the Ming Dynasty, which were printed by the government on their own initiative. King Chu suddenly smiled and said, "Brother He, come and see."
He Xi went over and took a look, but it was "The Collection of Consort He". He Xi opened it and saw that it was him, Prince Consort He.
It records many articles by He Xi, but the paper is not good and there are typos in the printing. He Xi felt that it affected the perception a little.
At first glance, it was printed privately.
He Xi has never printed anthologies for herself. Although this idea has been proposed. But He Xi objected. After all, in He Xi's view, a person who prints his own collected works should at least consider summarizing his life when he is older and approaching death.
But He Xi did not fail to summarize what he had learned. For nothing else. Just to spread and influence more people.
However, these contents are not included in the anthology.
He Xi said: "Zhang Zongde, do you often watch this?"
Zhang Zongde said: "Master He's literary thoughts are wild and unconstrained. They are unprecedented, and they are tightly integrated. There is no room for scrutiny. The common people have admired them for a long time. Not only do I like to read this book, I heard that the land of the Central Plains, It has become common practice.”
Listening to Zhang Zongde's words, you know that Zhang Zongde really saw it. The biggest difference between He Xi and contemporary literati is that he is particularly logical.
King Yan said: "It can be seen that after all, these people have the sharpest noses. If they didn't sell well, they wouldn't know how to print."
What King Yan said was not unreasonable.
At first glance, this version is printed by private people. Private printing is naturally driven by profit. If the demand is small, it is usually a handwritten copy. Printed copies are only available when demand is high. After all, printing also costs money.
He Xi also felt relieved that he could do nothing by himself. Only a large number of people who accept his ideas can turn the entire Ming Dynasty in the direction he wants.
He Xi said: "This book is a mess, and there are many mistakes in it. Come on to my boat and get a set of textbooks from Yingkou University and a set of textbooks from Shenyang Polytechnic."
"Yes." Someone immediately agreed. Get out in a hurry. After a while, someone came over with a box of books.
There are dozens of courses in two schools. These books are quite rare.
