Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 266 Planning of Hehuang Valley

Li Tai looked at Xue Rengui and said, "Rengui, how many dings have you recruited in total, and how many are long?"

"There are a total of 500 people and 33 people, all of whom are 51 people." Xue Rengui said to Li Tai.

"Well!" Li Tai nodded and said, "I didn't expect that after such a war, there are still nearly 5 people in Shancheng. Although there are more widows and children here, I have to say that the development potential of Shancheng is still good." of."

Li Tai believed that when Xue Rengui went to count, many local people would choose to escape.

At the same time, the population of each household is less than a normal family of five, that is, a couple with three children. Basically, a household with three people is very good.

In other words, the local population that Li Tai ascended to the throne and registered as registered permanent residence should not be 5, but more than 3.

To be honest, after experiencing such a large-scale war and being looted by the Tang army, there are still 4 to [-] people. If the original population of Shancheng is not [-] to [-], it should be [-] , is considered a big city in the northwest.

However, how many people there are is not important to Li Tai now.

Because Li Tai's main purpose was to allow his government orders to be passed on to the grassroots, and he recruited these Ding members and chiefs, and he hoped that they could become Datang's signature.

I need to let the local people know that only by following Datang can there be a future.

Of course, if it was in Huaxia, I would dare to directly substitute work for the local people to work, but now in Shancheng, I have to write to Peacock, and I need her to raise some food and grass to transport it over.

Before that, what I need is to gain the trust of the local people as much as possible.

So this batch of Imperial Association Army... No, it should be the Fengyi Army, and they will become a role model for themselves and the local people.

"I hope King Yan will treat them kindly. It's really not easy for the people here." Xue Rengui said to report the letter, his face was somewhat ugly.

Xue Rengui is that kind, if he is a siege soldier, then Xue Rengui will definitely go to rob.

But Xue Rengui was asked to register the miserable local people one by one. As a farmer, Xue Rengui could also feel the frivolity and difficulty of life at the bottom.

Not everyone can bear it. The eyes of the people affected by the disaster are numb with despair and a bit of hatred.

Because the gaze is really powerful, otherwise there would be no idioms referring to Kansha Weijie and Qianfu.

"I know that the common people are not easy, but the relationship between us and the common people cannot be smoothed out easily with a few simple words.

Even the relatives of some of them may have been shot to death by my Jin Yiwei himself. " Li Tai said solemnly.

When everyone heard Li Tai's words, Li Tai glanced over, and no one cared, after all, such things are really rare.

But Li Tai continued: "But these are not important. The important thing is that we have to find jobs for them, let them live hard, let them find that life is better than death, and let them have new hope. !This is the most important."

"King Yan has a plan for development?" Lu Anshou asked directly, "Say, let's do it!"

As Lu Anshou, who watched Li Tai step by step from the prince who opened the mansion to the present, said, does it take brains to develop such a thing?

Isn't it just what King Yan said, what do I do, I need a fart brain.

Li Tai glanced at Lu Anshou, and said slowly, "Everyone is busy these days, so I went to check the surrounding environment and inspect the local crops.

First of all, the local farming technology is indeed not good. Although the people have cultivated, they do not take care of it meticulously.

Although it is not possible to wait for the sky to eat after planting, but relatively speaking, they pay more attention to their own livestock than to the crops in the field.

Therefore, for the development of Xining as a whole, I think it needs to be divided into three steps! "

Seeing that Li Tai became serious, everyone sat upright and began to listen to Li Tai's words.

And Li Taidao said, "The first step is that the Agricultural Society needs to settle in Shancheng, and set up an elementary school to teach the local people how to cultivate wheat.

In the coming spring, let the common people reclaim the land first, and plant the spring wheat that can be planted to ensure this year's ration.

Because the temperature in Shancheng is lower than that in the Central Plains, and the summer is shorter than that in Chang'an, it is best to cultivate the land this year instead of planting winter wheat on a large scale. It is better to try.

If this place is really suitable for planting winter wheat, then it will be promoted on a large scale!

Changgeng, I will leave this matter to you to handle. All of your subordinates are from agricultural colleges, so you should know how to do it! "

"Please rest assured, King Yan, I will take them to reclaim the land and try farming!" Tian Changgeng said at this time.

"Take all the chiefs and members who are gathered together, teach them all, and let them cultivate the land.

Tell them that all land ownership belongs to the imperial court, but for the reclaimed land, they can apply for permanent use rights according to their family's ability.

The maximum application quota for each household is [-] mu of cultivated land, and each household applies for cultivated land according to its own needs.

Every year, according to the acres of fields they apply for, they are asked to pay the contracted rent to the imperial court. As for other population corvee and miscellaneous taxes, all are calculated here.

In short, let them understand that once a year, as long as they pay the court, the rest will belong to them! "

"Rent, King Yan is using this name to replace taxation. This doesn't seem to be the tax payment system of our Tang Dynasty?!" Tian Changgeng said.

To be honest, all those present were military generals, and they were not sensitive to this kind of tax system action, but felt a little weird.

"En!" Li Tai nodded and said, "Because it is a border area, and the original local people are not all farming people, if we move our current Datang expropriation system over here, it will discourage the enthusiasm of the people.

So from the very beginning, let the local people understand the taxation, and the taxation method should be as easy as possible for the local people to understand, the better.

As for the imperial court, I will explain to the imperial court that after all, it is a frontier area, at least before these areas integrate into China, they should be given a little preferential treatment. "

To be honest, Li Tai just wanted to give it a try, the farmland contract system, the one-whip method, and the sharing of every single person into the mu.

If these things were carried out in those places in Chang'an, Li Tai felt that he would definitely be tired of working.

Even with Li Shimin's protection, he was afraid that he would be assassinated, but in Shancheng and other ethnic minority areas, he was able to survive instead.

First of all, it is ruled by ethnic minorities, and the cost of Han people ruling here is too high.

Therefore, the simpler the tax law, the more it can be understood by the local people. If they impose exorbitant taxes on their own, some people will rebel.

The second is that Li Tai himself also needs a pilot place to try those famous policies in history.

After all, even if Li Tai read these policies from books, it is impossible to directly apply them to Datang in this era.

The same policy may result in oranges growing in Huainan, not to mention the gap of a thousand years.

This is why Li Tai supports enfeoffment.

If you have any ideas, you can try those feudal states, harvest the results and experience of the feudal states, and use them in China after improvement, at least it will be much safer.

After all, in the final analysis, even if Li Tai is a socialist successor who is in the line of one billion, receiving socialist education, but now...

I am the second heir to the Great Tang Empire!

I don't want to be shaken, but the Tang Empire has given too much, so I can only change my position.

This allowed Li Tai to sympathize with the people at the bottom, but it was impossible for Li Tai to risk his life for the sake of the people.

So the best way is to get a few more feudal states as experimental products to adapt to the system suitable for the future development of Datang!
This made Li Tai much bolder in these alien areas than in Datang, and even crossed the line a bit.

But still the same sentence, as long as Li Tai did not hide Li Shimin's secrets and told Li Shimin all these things, would Li Shimin still blame Li Tai for trying to adapt to local conditions, at most it would be just a few words from the spokesperson.

To be honest, how many people care about the policies implemented in such remote areas as long as there are no real riots.

"And let the local people master the wheat farming technology, and initially complete the transition from a semi-nomadic and half-agricultural people to a farming people, we have completed the first stage of the task!" Li Tai said slowly,

"Because Aye asked me to take the military-to-agricultural war department of the agricultural school this time, but in fact, each of them has received the most orthodox agricultural education and has also systematically cultivated wheat, so it is unexpected for the teacher enough.

In this way, this preliminary renovation plan, with good luck, will be fully promoted in Shancheng when the wheat harvest is bumper next year.

If you are unlucky and cannot grow winter wheat, then spending three years improving highland barley and spring wheat should be enough.

Only then will Datang really have a foundation and foundation here!

At least I believe that these people who have land and land are absolutely unwilling to let the fields in their hands be ruined by other nomads! "

Li Tai doesn't care what the local people think of him, but when the local people really complete the transformation of the farming nation, then for the local people, their land is their life.

Whoever moves their fields, they dare to risk their lives!
In the future, when there is a fight in Qinghai, these people will have a sense of urgency and will fight against the nomads.

After all, farming can still be done here in the Hehuang Valley, but on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, even if the average temperature of the earth rises, it is impossible to allow farming there, at least for the next 1000 years or so, don’t think too much about it.

Li Tai continued, "As the first stage stabilizes, the local population should recover.

Especially those people who fled to the mountains should come down from the mountains, and the population of Shancheng should be able to recover a lot by then.

As their lifestyles change, the population will gradually increase, even so large that Shancheng may not be able to accommodate it, and the arable land in Shancheng itself will not be enough.

This process should take five, ten, or even 20 years, so the second step must be implemented!

That is to develop the slopes around Shancheng, which requires the creation of terraced fields. "

"Since this matter will take five, ten, or even twenty years to happen, is it too early for King Yan to plan?"

Hearing Li Tai's words, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but speak. Out of instinct, he felt a sense of crisis on a whim.

"This is indeed the case in normal situations!" Li Tai did not deny Yuan Tiangang's words, relying on the people to recover naturally, it will naturally start in 20 years.

After all, even if the population is ancient, it will take at least 15 years to recover before children can really become a labor force. Now that there is a fight here, it is normal to wait 20 years for recovery.

"Then King Yan thinks something special will happen?" Yuan Tiangang reacted when he heard Li Tai's words.

"Maybe the imperial court will enrich the frontier!" Li Tai smiled.

Although the current imperial court will definitely not enrich the frontier, but when Tubo comes out, the geographical significance of the Hehuang Valley does not need to be said. logistics base.

And how many people the Hehuang Valley can accept basically determines how many people the imperial court can migrate over.

In fact, apart from the fact that the imperial court would relocate the people here, Li Tai also intended to let the herdsmen on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau be absorbed here to complete the transformation from herdsmen to farmers.

Therefore, if you want to develop a local plan, you must do it in advance. As for the lack of population, with the development of the local area, it will naturally form a certain degree of siphon effect on the surrounding areas.

"So, Master Yuan, I wonder if you would like to help with this!" Li Tai smiled at Yuan Tiangang.

Yuan Tiangang's face changed, and he smiled wryly, "King Yan, what do you want me to do?"

"It is to take people to climb all the peaks around Shancheng to see which hillsides are suitable for transformation into slopes or terraced fields.

Mark these places and make a preliminary development plan, these places will be the second development direction of Shan! "

When Li Tai said this, he felt that it should not be too much, so he flattered him again.

"After all, your feng shui ability is comparable to that of no one in the Tang Dynasty. Apart from you, I really can't find anyone else!"

"King Yan, you are so flattering!" Yuan Tiangang felt that he should not have allowed Li Tai to come to Hexi in the first place!
"After all the slopes that can be developed around here are marked, then we will reach the third step!" Li Tai said, "At that time, we need to continue to ask Master Yuan!"

"What else?!" Yuan Tiangang heard Li Tai's words, but his face was a bit dumbfounded,

"King Yan, isn't your plan too far away? When the slopes are developed, at least 20 years have passed!"

"It is best to start the preparation work now, that is to record the water pattern records of Huangshui.

When the development of Shancheng reaches the bottleneck, it is necessary to use Huangshui as the foundation to further develop the entire Hehuang Valley in a balanced manner.

The construction of water conservancy facilities and the dredging of Huangshui are indispensable for all-round development.

Therefore, it is best to start recording water patterns in Huangshui now, and it will not be difficult to do it when the time comes! "

Li Tai clenched his fists and said, "In short, we want to make the Huangshui Valley the granary of the entire Northwest!"

"King Yan... why don't you bring my son here! The old man's muscles and bones can't stand such torture!" Yuan Tiangang said with a wry smile.

　My salted fish tried hard to turn over, and then lay down again.
