Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 116
The construction of the waterwheel has not stopped and is still being built.Going up along the Yellow River and arriving in Jiazhou, you can see that on the embankment of the Yellow River in Shaanxi, a series of waterwheels continuously extract the water of the Yellow River into the canal.

The original scattered canals are now all connected together.The water of the Yellow River reaches the fields of the people along the canals.Some of them have even used the keel rollover to pump water.Let the people of other states and counties envy.It is said that people from Jiazhou have found a rare good official.

Some counties and villages close to Jiazhou connected the canals with the Jiazhou Canal one after another, and then spent money to buy water to irrigate the fields.

After Zhang Zongxian learned of the situation, he considered long-term drought resistance in the future.It was decided to establish a non-governmental water conservancy association to be responsible for maintaining canal waterwheels and various pumping tools.People in other counties also have to go through the association to buy water, and the association collects it uniformly.

All the canals and various equipment on the canals are subcontracted to each village in sections.They do the maintenance and the association oversees it.As for the waterwheels along the Yellow River, the Water Conservancy Association raises funds from various villages to maintain them.The Water Conservancy Association will be supervised by Yamen Works.

For such non-governmental associations, Zhang Zongxian required them to disclose their finances every month, and the members of the association were composed of Lizhengs from all counties, and the person in charge was selected from Lizhengs.Choose once a year.Not eligible for re-election.

When the disciples come back, they will also be arranged to join the operation of these associations.It's time to audit their expenditures.It's easy to deal with such non-governmental organizations when they have troubles.

On the tenth day of the lunar new year, the disciples all completed their tasks and returned to the administration.

After checking, Zhang Zongxian asked all his disciples to return to the counties he was in charge of to help supervise the completion of land deed replacement in each county.

The woolen workshop has also started preparatory work. Zhang Zongxian plans to raise 8 taels from everyone in the yamen of the four counties after the land deed is replaced.Build a workshop.All are used in the workshop, and the large spinning wheel that can spin hundreds of catties of wool a day.

It is planned that the annual output of this workshop will reach one million catties of wool.This is also what was promised to these soap officials earlier.

The order for the spinning wheel was also there, and after the completion of the field measurement and population inventory, it was placed to XCMG.

Zhang Zongxian asked Qian Tongzhi to quietly tell the news to various county governments, and the officials saw that Zhang Zongxian would do what he said.Work harder and strive to complete the land lease replacement in the shortest possible time.

In the end, with the blessing of the magic power of money, the land deed replacement was completed in only eight days.

Although there are still problems in some counties, the population per acre has been clarified, and the burden on the common people has been clearly reduced after the land deed has been replaced.Now the county yamen can't arbitrarily apportion.

The people can finally breathe a sigh of relief.Many people's families gave Zhang Zongxian new words.I hope Zhang Zongxian can stay in Jiazhou forever.

The people of Jiazhou were happy, but at the same time, they brought new problems.

Not only Qingjian County, but every county in Jiazhou has refugees from neighboring counties pouring in.Although the survey of the land this time has found out that there are grasslands and woodlands in both Shenmufu Valley that can be reclaimed as good farmland.

However, soil erosion in the Yellow Plateau is already serious, and destroying these woodlands will only cause a greater ecological disaster.As a last resort, it is best not to cultivate.

In the end, Zhang Zongxian decided to vigorously develop the mining industry.After all, Wubao has salt mines, and Shenmu has coal mines.Both deposits can be very profitable.

In order to encourage the common people to open mines, Zhang Zongxian combined the locations of various mines that he knew in his previous life.Auction these areas separately to merchants who are willing to mine.Loans are also given to teams without principal.

On the one hand, mining was encouraged, and on the other hand, road construction was stepped up so that four-wheeled carriages could run smoothly on the roads in Jiazhou.

Loans for farming cattle and farm tools for the common people were also developed in the counties of Jiazhou. Such loans were basically interest-free loans, and the cattle were quickly taken away by the people of the counties.And all kinds of iron farm tools are in short supply.

Zhang Zongxian also required each workshop to use locally produced iron in Jiazhou for processing.Coupled with the loss of the road, many iron-making families in Shanxi sent people to start iron-making furnaces on the border of Jiazhou.New furnaces are built every day.

Zhang Zongxian also gave many preferential policies in due course.Coupled with the continuous development of grassland trade routes.Not only Qingjian County, but even the location of the government office has a large number of workshops started.

Zhang Zongxian is also always concerned about the business environment of each county.If there are officials extorting money, once they are detected by Yu Nong's men, they will be dealt with before the victim complains.

After killing a few chickens without eyes, no one dared to destroy the business environment.Zhang Zongxian also encouraged major workshops to jointly set up chambers of commerce, and use the name of chambers of commerce to communicate with Yamen.

Zhang Zongxian also asked Hu Biao to win the briquette monopoly rights in various counties in Shaanxi, including Xi'an City.In order to consume more and more coal production.

In order to maintain the market, Hu Biao used Ding Bo, his two identities as Jinyiwei, and Li's father-in-law to discuss cooperation with local snakes everywhere.In the past, briquettes were manufactured by transporting coal on the Taiping, and the profit was [-]-[-]%, and the Taiping accounted for [-]%.

If you encounter officials who are embarrassing, let Master Ma come out to discuss cooperation.

If the cooperation fails, then Eunuch Li will step in, and if Eunuch Li doesn't even give him face.So they sent out ruffians to attack the opponent.If it doesn't work, arrange for Yunong to send out dead soldiers to make an example to others.

Anyway, Zhang Zongxian's reputation and notoriety among the gentry is unspeakable, so it doesn't matter how many people he offends.

Yu Nong also followed suit to expand his team.Arrange eyeliner to various counties.

After winning the monopoly, we not only have to deal with local snakes everywhere, but also deal with roadblockers and local tyrants on the transportation road.

In the beginning, Hu Biao used the tricks of the rivers and lakes to solve the problem.When Zhang Zongxian found out, he severely criticized Hu Biao.Then Hu Biao was asked to set up the Taiping Escort Bureau, and then the cavalry was transferred from Qingshuiying to change into the bodyguard's attire.Armed transport of goods.

Escorts not only attack all kinds of robbers and bandits blocking the road.The same is true for the blind tyrants everywhere.Even people from the government can still beat them.

Soon the Escort opened up the situation, and the whole of Shaanxi knew that the people in the Taiping Escort were not easy to mess with.

At the beginning, the Escorts still transported coal and ironware. After the salt was mined later, they could transport salt. Then the people from the Chamber of Commerce found Hu Biao and wanted the Escorts to escort the goods for them.Escort by the Escort can save a lot of trouble, and it is calculated to be lower than their own transportation cost.

In view of this, Zhang Zongxian decided to expand the scale of the Escort.Form a transport convoy with the carriage house.Then reach cooperation with post stations in various places to receive transportation orders.

Zhang Zongxian also raised another cavalry brigade in the name of the Escort.Each caravan was escorted along the route by at least one company of cavalry.The escorting cavalry kept switching between Changsheng Fort and Qingshuiying.

The Escort team relied on the flintlock five-jin guns they carried to open the trade route from Qingjian County to Yan'an Mansion, Yulin, and Xi'an.

The next step is to open the commercial route from Qingjian County to Lanzhou to Hanzhong to Luoyang to Taiyuan to Kaifeng.
