Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Chapter 449 Founding a Collective Farm
Chapter [-] Establishment of collective farms

When Chen Ying heard this, he laughed out loud as if he had heard a very funny joke.After a long time, Chen Ying stopped laughing and said, "Do you really think that the Crown Princess would be so unbearable?"

At least from Chen Ying, I know that Zheng Guanyin is a woman who understands the general situation and cares about the overall situation.What's more, Chen Ying also knows that a huge family is not monolithic, at least Zheng Guanyin, Zheng father Zheng Jibo's family and Zheng Rentai have already produced five clothes.In terms of blood, there is actually no relative relationship.

Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Ying is not prepared to tear himself apart with the Zheng family in Xingyang.When doing business, you need to bargain all over the sky and pay back the money when you land. In fact, this principle is not only suitable for business, but also for officialdom.Just pretending that corruption can be killed, regardless of anyone's affection, the lives of these subordinate officials are in Chen Ying's hands, and they can only obey obediently.

Xu Jingzong and Xu Shizhong, after all, were not the Xu Jingzong of the Wu Zhou period, both knowledge and experience were too different, Chen Ying just put on a very scary look, others were not frightened, but Xu Jingzong was frightened first.

Chen Ying did not act arbitrarily on the matter of pacifying Henan. Instead, he asked Li Jiancheng for his opinion very seriously. Because of Wang Shichong's conscription, the people were in dire straits. The people in the eighteen counties of Henan County were extremely poor, and every household did not have the strength to plow in the spring. .

Since the distance from Xin'an to Chang'an is not as far as Lingzhou, Chen Ying's letter was placed on Li Jiancheng's desk in at most two days. Li Jiancheng's impression of Chen Ying was subverted again.

At the beginning, Li Jiancheng thought that Chen Ying was a good general, and if he was asked to guard the border, or the unified army stood alone, Chen Ying could complete the task very well.However, Chen Ying kept silent, built coal mines, blast furnaces and iron ore workshops, and restored the Qin Dynasty. When there was research, Chen Ying wrote a book with thousands of words this time.

"Since ancient times, the Dingkou of the Great Dynasty has been counted. In some prefectures and counties, officials deliberately increased their household registrations to pretend to be political achievements, and in some prefectures and counties, officials deliberately reduced their household registrations because of hidden taxation. This is reported layer by layer, and finally the Ministry of Accounts again In summary, the ministers of the court will modify, add and delete according to the emperor's likes and dislikes at that time, and the needs of the current situation. The final figure recorded in the annals will be reported to the emperor on the same day. This number can only be used as the emperor's participation in the prison. It cannot be regarded as the original number."

"Generally speaking, if the politics is lenient, the household registration will gradually appear, and if the politics are harsh, the household registration will gradually disappear. Why? Political lenient, registered household registration is upright, can be protected by law, has proof of doing business, and has a share in education. There are many benefits. Therefore, the household registration is becoming more and more obvious; the politics is harsh, and the law does not protect the people. The way to study and become an official is not smooth.

In troubled times, there are three main ways to go hermit. First, she hides under the big aristocrats as a tenant farmer; second, she hides into a large business family as a domestic slave; third, she hides in a Buddhist monastery as a temple slave.These three are big and knowable.As for the unknowable.It is like those who disperse into the mountains, and those who avoid remote places.is an unknown number.That is to say, for those who did not flee, there were thirty households hidden in each village, and one or two Ding households hidden in each household in the compilation. The exact number can only be guessed, and it is impossible to know for sure.

When Wang Gui saw this, he sighed and said: "I take back the attributive statement that General Chen can be a good general for the country. Now it seems that General Chen can be a general and a minister. talent."

Looking at this heavy memorial, Wang Gui felt even heavier in his heart.As a native of the Wang family of Seven Schools and Five Wangs in Taiyuan, he is very familiar with the behavior and habits of the aristocratic clan.Holding Chen Ying's memorandum, Wang Gui was in a dilemma.

Ordinarily, like Chen Ying pierced through this window paper, and donated the hidden population controlled by various clans and clans.But doing so would cause a big mess.

Wei Zheng didn't know how to make a decision.

Li Jiancheng thought for a while and said, "I will enter the palace and discuss with His Majesty!"

In fact, whether to agree with Chen Ying's proposal depends on how Li Yuan thinks about it. If he is thinking about the great Tang Dynasty, he should agree with Chen Ying's opinion, but Li Yuan will also have a headache. Relying on the support of the big clans and clans.

Chen Ying didn't care about Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng's headaches, but launched reforms in eighteen counties in Henan.After the county magistrates and county magistrates arrived in Xin'an, Chen Ying immediately called a meeting. At that time, he said that the meeting was inappropriate, because the county magistrates and magistrates did not let them speak at all, and directly issued orders.

First, the one-year tax-free amnesty decree ordered by the Li and Tang courts was promulgated.According to Li Yuan's amnesty decree, all taxes in the eighteen counties of Henan County are exempted.

All counties and counties must fully pass this policy through the people of all counties. As long as there is one family in a county who does not know about the tax exemption and amnesty order of the Li and Tang courts, I am sorry, the county magistrate and county magistrate will be dismissed on the spot.

As the saying goes, when a scholar meets a soldier, there is no reason to explain it clearly.Chen Ying didn't talk to the officials about hypocrisy and snakes at all. He directly told the officials that if he didn't want to lose his hat, he must convey this policy to every common people.

Although it is said that the Li and Tang courts are not free from corvée, the counties and counties will go back immediately from this day onwards, organize all the people, and start dredging the ditches while there is still some time for spring plowing.

Chen Ying did not lack military rations, and Li Shimin had someone bring in [-] shi of grain, but Chen Ying really didn't care about the mere [-] guan of grain, and he had no intention of selling the grain.He took out the [-] shi of grain, and organized more than [-] people to repair the river and ditches in the name of repairing the ditches. However, it was not like when the common people served corvee in the past, not only did they have to send people, but they also had to prepare their own dry food.

However, when Chen Ying dredged the ditches at this time, he was actually using work as a substitute for relief. Each farmer had a solar eclipse of three liters. Anyway, in a month, each farmer ate about one stone of grain, and [-] strong laborers left home. The family saved at least hundreds of catties of grain.

Chen Ying's last order is a bit intriguing.

All the refugees and their families from all counties were sent to Xin'an camp. As for what Chen Ying wanted to do, Chen Ying didn't say anything at all.

Regarding Chen Ying's inexplicable order, the officials did not dare to disobey Chen Ying's order. These officials had already received instructions from the Patriarch of the Zheng family. It is very possible that she is planning to find trouble with Mrs. Zheng.

Therefore, these officials were more obedient than listening to the imperial decree, and they did not contradict Chen Ying's orders, from promoting the tax exemption decree to organizing the people to dredge the ditches and sending the refugees to the Xin'an Camp.

As long as officials pay attention to something, the implementation effect of this matter will be very fast.

Only the next day, Zheng Zai, magistrate of Xin'an County, sent more than 230 refugees from more than 650 households to Xin'an Camp. As time went by, more and more refugees gathered outside Xin'an Camp.Seeing that there were six or seven thousand people densely packed outside the camp, Xu Jingzong finally couldn't help asking: "General, what do you mean?"

Chen Ying said with a smile: "It's very simple, let them build collective farms!"

In ancient times, productivity was low, and the output of low-grade fields was often only enough for farmers to make ends meet, while middle-grade fields had a small surplus. The most important source of "surplus grain" was the high-grade fields that employed less manpower but produced more.Therefore, the ruler attaches the most importance to the top-grade fields.Chen Ying had opened up wasteland and farmed fields in Lingzhou, so he also understood this truth.

He was in Henan, and because of the great power of the family and the aristocratic family, he planned to establish a collective farm with refugees.

Collective farms are very suitable for the recovery production development of catastrophe or epidemic.Of course, the news of Chen Ying's establishment of a collective farm spread quickly, and finally the Zheng family in Xingyang finally became anxious.

PS: I have a cold, my head is dizzy, and I can’t write anymore. That’s all I have for today. I’m very sorry.
