Chapter 63 Arrangements for Jiujiang County
Chapter 63 Arrangements for Jiujiang County
Liu Bang, Xiao He, and Fan Zeng sat on the ground respectfully, while Zhao Wen sat at the top of the hall.
If possible, Zhao Wen even wanted to lean on and talk. After all, this is the most comfortable way, but he remembered that whenever he saw Emperor Shi Huang, he always sat upright. This is definitely worth learning.
Although these three are the talents he values most now, there is still a certain distance and mystery between the superior and the subordinates, which he learned from the first emperor.
"How many blacksmiths are there in Jiujiang County today?"
On weekdays, I went out to play with a few women outside the city, and all the agricultural tools I saw were made of wood, which is why Zhao Wen brought back a large amount of steel this time.
The population is too small. Only by increasing productivity can we feed more people. Good farm tools are the most important thing.
"There are only a dozen or so, but they are too old and weak!" Although Liu Bang's intelligence network is still very simple, he can still understand the basic situation of Jiujiang County. As soon as Zhao Wen finished speaking, he immediately answered.
"Why are there only so few?" Zhao Wen couldn't believe his ears. Chu is also a big country, but there are only a dozen blacksmiths, and all of them are old and weak. This is simply a joke.
"All the blacksmiths were taken into the Shaofu, and only a dozen or so were left behind, who were too old!" After the Great Qin ruled the world, all technical talents from various countries were brought back to the Shaofu. Xiao He saw that Zhao Wen didn't understand, He opened his mouth and explained.
"Why does the Shaofu need so many blacksmiths?" Zhao Wen asked angrily.
In this era, there were not many iron mines in the whole country, and many soldiers still used bronze weapons. In addition, they also needed to cast coins. The sum of all the metals that needed to be cast was probably not as much as Zhao Wen brought back this time.
It is the biggest waste for so many blacksmiths to stay in Shaofu.
Liu Bang, Xiao He, and Fan Zeng bowed their heads in silence at the same time, this question is no longer suitable for them to answer.
"Tell these ten or so old blacksmiths, let them teach their apprentices with all their strength, and teach a qualified blacksmith. I will reward them with a tael of gold!"
To get someone out of the Shaofu, Zhao Wen didn't think he had such ability, so he had to train again.
One tael of gold is enough for a family of five to spend for a year. This reward is definitely not low, that is, Zhao Wen can bring back gold and silver from other worlds. Otherwise, even the first emperor would not dare to reward him like him.
"promise!"
Although the three of them didn't know why His Highness wanted so many blacksmiths, training craftsmen was not a bad thing for Jiujiang County, so they naturally wouldn't refuse.
However, Xiao He still asked: "Not only blacksmiths, but other craftsmen have also been taken away by the Shaofu. Are they trained under the same conditions?"
"It's all the same, if you cultivate a qualified apprentice, I will reward you with one tael of gold!"
Zhao Wen had already decided in his heart that he would ask the three surnames of Chu to exchange silver for gold for him, otherwise it would not be enough to reward him.
It is precisely because the Central Plains does not produce silver, and the value of silver in this era is more than ten times that of gold. The amount of silver he brought back from other worlds far exceeds gold, and he will definitely bring back more in the future. Why don't you change it quickly, I'm afraid the ratio will change soon.
"How long will it take for the grain planted in the farm to mature?"
Since Zhao Wen came to Jiujiang, the land reclamation order was issued the next day. A large number of landless people around entered Jiujiang County. There is already a food crisis.
Food was simply the top priority in ancient times, so he naturally had to pay attention.
"Wheat and rice can be harvested in about a month. As for pumpkins, potatoes, and corn, I have never seen them before. I really don't know how long it will take to mature!"
When it comes to the grain in the farm, Liu Bang's face suddenly showed excitement.
Not only is the yield high, but the maturity time is much shorter than the previous grains. In his opinion, this is an out-and-out fetish.
"That's it!" Zhao Wen lightly tapped on the table in front of him, and he had already decided in his heart that he would find someone from Jin Yiwei who knew about farming and send him to be Liu Bang's deputy.
Wheat is not grown in this era because the wheat will not be processed after it is planted. Zhao Wen knows that using a stone mill can grind noodles, and then steamed steamed buns to roll noodles, but there is no stone mill before he travels.
Knowing is knowing, but he has never seen it.
Using wheat, rice, and corn as the staple food is not just planting, there are many things behind it, so you must find someone who is familiar with farming.
And from Chu Yi and Chu Er's mouths, we can know that although Liu Bang, Xiao He, and Fan Zeng are talented and willing to use their brains, they have no practical experience in handling affairs after all, and they handle many things extremely recklessly.
He naturally understood that this was because he directly placed the three of them in high positions and did not give them any time to grow.
There are just three counties below Jiujiang County, and the three county magistrates who were transferred from Qidi did not have the ability to control a county. Zhao Wen has decided that after this exam, not only the township chiefs below, but even the county magistrates To be replaced.
The most suitable candidates are the three in front of me. There are so many things to do in a county, and it is just when the country was founded, and there are still many problems left over from history, which are definitely enough to train people.
Jiujiang County is his own fiefdom, and the officials who appoint themselves only need to report to the court after the appointment.
With the talents of these three people, after a few years of training, they will definitely be of great use.
But he called these three people today, not just for the blacksmith's business.
"You make a plan. The prefect's mansion will provide money and food, and all regions will provide manpower to renovate the roads and riverworks in the entire Jiujiang County. But everything is based on the principle of the people's voluntary!"
The maturity time of modern crops is very short. After the various grains in the farm are mature, the grains in all parts of Jiujiang are still far from ripe.
There is enough manpower, and the people still lack food, but there will be absolutely nowhere to put the food in their hands. In Zhao Wen's view, this is the best time to build a large project.
"promise!"
The prefect's mansion is willing to provide money and food, and the people only need to work hard to have food, and His Highness will also give money. From the three people's point of view, this is His Highness wanting to find a reason to benefit the people. Such a good thing, the three of them immediately promise.
"There are also orphans who have no parents to support them, but they can all be brought into the farms. After a few years of raising them, they will be a strong laborer. If the fields are not enough to grow, we will continue to open up wasteland!"
Jin Yiwei recruited hundreds of orphans at a time to start training. Zhao Wencai knew that in the battle between Qin and Chu, although Chu surrendered quickly, hundreds of thousands of people were recruited at a time. Excluding those who died in the battle, most of them were captured and used as coolies.
When the strong laborers in the family are gone, the family will be scattered, and there will naturally be a large number of unsupported children.
Bringing these children into the farm is equivalent to raising them by themselves, and they will naturally work hard for themselves in the future. Since Zhao Wen knows about such things, he will never let them go!
