Destiny Only Han

Chapter 669 Liu Ying: Long live understanding! (It's New Year's Eve, I wish you all a happy new year... right?)

Looking at Liu Ying's back, Zhang Buyi really wanted to kick him down, but after thinking about the dozens of big and round Donggong guards standing around him, he gave up.

After all, not only would he not be able to play a summer kick, but he would definitely be beaten up...

After a while, Zhang Buyi raised his head and asked, "What have you prepared? Let's talk about it. Anyway, there is nothing else to do now..."

"Okay then, I'll chat with you for ten yuan first..." Liu Ying took the opportunity to sit down on the rock and raised her legs.

Zhang Buyi served tea and poured water in a doggy manner, then sat next to Liu Ying, pricked up his ears, and prepared to adapt the story he heard, so as to pretend to be coquettish in front of the little loli...

Liu Ying thought about it for a while and said: "If you want to change the population structure of a region as quickly as possible, the best way is not to encourage births, but to immigrate directly! For example, you can immigrate 20 households from Shu County to Yunnan!"

"Shu County?" Zhang Buyi frowned.

Liu Ying nodded: "It is Shu County! Although there are still many undeveloped areas in Shu County from the map, due to geographical reasons, the population distribution is extremely uneven."

"For example, the Chengdu Plain within the Dujiangyan area, and the surrounding areas of Fushun County, which was prosperous due to salt wells, are densely populated. Although it has only been peaceful for more than ten years, there are not many fertile lands that can be used as grant land for the new population."

"So, there are many bastards and second sons there. Although they have titles, they cannot occupy the land stipulated by titles."

"So I asked Ji Xin, the governor of Shu County, to count them up, and then move them here from Shu County after the Dian Kingdom is conquered!"

Liu Ying nodded frequently as she looked at Zhang Buyi, who was memorizing attentively, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, flashing a weird smile.

fake.

In fact, what he said about overcrowding and not enough land to grant to those bastards and second sons were all made up.

After all, people who make a living from agriculture have to relocate. Once the fertile land in Shu County is granted to them, it will be extremely difficult for them to migrate to the south of Caiyun.

Therefore, Liu Ying approached Xiao He to act coquettishly and show off cuteness, and moved her with love and reason, and finally got Xiao He to agree to let the county magistrates of several populous counties, such as Chengdu County, Pi County, and Fushun County, allow them to register their population. When granting land according to the title, he was passive and negligent.

Well, no matter how hard it is, the people of Shu County will bear Ji Xin's name...

After Zhang Buyi finished memorizing the previous paragraph, he looked at Liu Ying and asked:

"Why Bashu? Not Guanzhong? In terms of population, there is no place in the world that can compare with the population of Neishi County! Moreover, Qin people are not inferior to Shu people in terms of hard work!"

"What year did you have a stereotype?" Liu Ying frowned, and retorted: "Now the uncles in Guanzhong have leased the irrigated fields near the irrigation canals to the mediocre farmers from Longxi and Hanoi. They came to open up wasteland on the border of the empire?"

"This place is so good, why don't you come by yourself?"

Zhang Buyi's face was embarrassed, and he quibbled: "What are you talking about them, what are you talking about me? Besides, those guys have rented out the land, what can they eat? Just relying on that little land rent, they can let them live in Guanzhong. survived?"

He felt that what he said was very reasonable. Among other things, Neishi County, the price of grain was absolutely the highest in the world!

His family also owns a grain store in Dongshi, and the price of wheat has risen from 150 renminbi a shi in previous years to [-] renminbi per shi, and it will continue to rise every year!

After all, the population has grown, but the land has not increased. The yield per mu has increased after the composting method was popularized, and then began to decline. Even in places where the three-field system has been implemented, it can only guarantee that the production will not decrease, but cannot increase.

There is a shortage of local food, and we have to rely on other places to supply food. The population is increasing year by year, and the price of food is naturally increasing year by year!

Well, the reason why food production cannot increase is very simple. Without chemical fertilizers, the important thing is that the seeds are not good. Without seeds with higher efficiency in absorbing nutrients from the land, chemical fertilizers are useless!
Just like Boss Yao's daughter, even if she eats bran and swallowed vegetables, she will still grow taller than her peers...

As for Zhang Buyi’s family opening a grain store, the main reason is that Zhang Liang is a lord of tens of thousands of households, and the Zhang family is good at investing and managing money. The annual income from various bonds alone is more than enough to meet the daily expenses of the family. It’s endless, and there’s too much to put…

Just hearing Zhang Buyi's question, Liu Ying's look of disdain became more intense, and she said disdainfully:

"What a contempt for meat eaters!"

"Who told you that the agricultural population must rely on farming to make a living? They can't go to the East and West of Chang'an to open a shop to do business? Or, let alone the technical content. Nowadays, there are many workshops around Chang'an City. Which workshop is not in a large number? Hiring?"

"One mu of land cannot feed one person, but a small workshop built on one mu of land can feed a dozen people!"

"That's why the gang of uncles in Guanzhong took out their land tenants and collected some land rent to pay the court's tax. By the way, they don't have to buy food for their own food... As for the means of supporting themselves, they can go to business if they have the ability, and they will drive a car." If you don’t know anything, you can go to work as a worker on the assembly line of the workshop..."

"If you work casually for two months, you can make more money than if you worked in the field with your back to the sky for a year!"

"Do you think, even if it is forced by the government, they can come here to open up wasteland and mine?"

Zhang Buyi opened his mouth, but finally remained silent.

Although he feels that the country is based on agriculture and needs to maintain a considerable number of farmers, but now that the land is not idle, the most important thing is that people in Guanzhong do not farm, and some people in other places are willing to farm!

Not only that, the imperial court also transports a large amount of grain from Whale Island and Nichinan to Chang'an City every year. Although the price of grain has increased due to shipping costs, correspondingly, job recruitment notices are posted everywhere on the bulletin boards around Chang'an City. If you are willing to work hard, there is no problem with eating enough, and you can earn much more than farming in your hometown!

Of course, the first wave of the most perfect immigration period is over. Unless it is a local wealthy family, if ordinary people want to settle in Chang'an City through part-time jobs, it will be more difficult than going to heaven...

So he asked the second question again: "Then why not Yingchuan or Dang County and other big counties in the Central Plains? The population there is no less than that of Shu County!"

Liu Ying nodded and cleared her throat:

"It stands to reason that people from the Great Central Plains County are more suitable. They are tall, long-armed, strong in combat, and hardworking... But the crux of the problem is that it's too humid here. You see, I am pampered and change clothes three times a day. Most of the people have a bit of eczema, if it's those Guishou, I'm afraid it will be even more unacceptable..."

"So, after thinking about it, people from Shu County are more suitable. And because the immigrants there don't have much land, they go to the mountains to cut firewood to subsidize their families, so they can better adapt to the mountainous environment here!"

"That makes sense." Zhang Buyi nodded in agreement, and then sighed softly: "It's a pity that they don't have any property in their hometown. Otherwise, after they sell their property and move here, they can use the money to buy a Bo woman as a wife. It's a one-time settlement." Questions about houses, land, and women!"

Liu Ying shook her head with a smile on her face:
"Yeah, there is a saying that if you are beautiful, don't think too much about it! I remember a wise man once said that too good conditions are not conducive to the struggle of young people."

"I took this very seriously, so I misappropriated the resettlement funds allocated by Prime Minister Xiao, and planned to use it to repair the river first, so that steam barges could go up the Xijiang River... that is, the Hongshui River, and put me in Guanzhong. The custom-made furnaces and steam engines were shipped over."

"You know, the most important purpose of our war against the Dian Kingdom is to solve the money shortage in the market. Only by transporting a boatload of copper coins out is our achievement!"

"So, if you recite the infamy, then recite the infamy..."

Hearing Liu Ying's words, Zhang Buji erased the words "You are so despicable" written on his face, sighed and said, "Since this is the case, I think the immigrants can understand."

I understand shit, I just didn't tell them!But I have no intention of repaying the money!Well, I owe it first, and I will talk about it when I have money... Liu Ying looked at Zhang Buyi, with a bit of emotion on her face:
"Yes, the people of my big man are the best people in the whole world, it is not easy to understand the government..."

"So I want to fight for the best land reclamation conditions for them!"

Zhang Buyi was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked, "What are the best conditions for land reclamation?"

Liu Ying explained with a smile:
"Of course it's fertile land reclaimed by the Bo people in the valley. As rebels, it's hard to survive. Could it be that they can still keep their own property? Well, in fact, it can only be regarded as cultivated land, not fertile land."

"After all, although the Bo people have iron farm tools, their plowing skills are still too poor, and they don't know how to maintain the soil."

Well, when the time comes to sign an agreement, all immigrants who have obtained good land will voluntarily give up their resettlement expenses...

"Iron farm tools?" Zhang Buji murmured softly, and suddenly realized: "Ah, I understand, no wonder you said you wanted to sell the latest farm tools to Dian Kingdom two years ago, I thought you were poor and crazy! It turned out to be for this! No wonder when Yu Shi impeached you as an enemy, my father said that they were stupid in reading..."

Well, in fact, they were instigated by others... Liu Ying smiled and said nothing.

After all, at that time there were Qi Ji and Liu Ruyi, who were both foodies and fun-loving in the palace, and there was Qi Ji, who Liu Bang specially took out to balance outside, so naturally there was no shortage of people who were ready to send charcoal in the snow and make trouble for Liu Ying.

However, Yushi is a speaker, and what he does is to criticize everyone, so the speaker is not guilty, and Liu Ying is naturally not good at retaliation against them.

But what if we change the way of thinking, for example, when they are no longer officials?

So Liu Ying used some special means to promote those guys to the outside world, and keep them on the sidelines...

Well, mainly as a county magistrate.

For example, the promising Liaodong County and Yunzhong County are great places where there are many mosquitoes in summer and people freeze to death in winter!
Who wouldn't kill chickens to scare monkeys?
Liu Ying stood up slowly, laughed loudly amid Zhang Buyi's surprised face, opened her arms and walked towards the dozen or so 'monkeys' who had finally walked up the hill.
