Chapter 464 Plantation 2

"An attempt? Alas, before I didn't quite understand how much care the current Holy One put into implementing the New Deal, but now I finally have something to gain. It is obvious that I am doing good things, but most of the gains are due to misunderstandings.

Huang Lantou, if the feudal dynasty did not impose strict restrictions on the use of cultivated land and allowed the people to plant it as they pleased, how many rice fields would be left in Guangdong in three to five years, and how much food would be produced? Suppose again, if there is a food shortage due to strong winds and floods, how will the people of Guangdong feed themselves? "

When the two accountants explained to him the intention of the "Farming Encourage Order", Suzaku did not feel that it was completely reasonable, or that even if it was reasonable, he should not be too harsh and could adopt a gentler approach step by step.

But when Huang Jianwang asked about it, he suddenly felt that the emperor's decisive approach was justified. Some things simply cannot be understood by most people in a short period of time. If time does not allow for a long delay, we can only use very harsh methods to force people to do it, and then slowly understand it later.

"Guangdong has many mountains but little land. It rains a lot but is windy. Since ancient times, it has not been based on food production. As long as you have enough money, you can buy it from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other places, or go to Southeast Asian countries to exchange for it."

Huang Jianwang didn't take these two assumptions seriously. There was no need to assume that Guangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, including southern Zhejiang, could not be self-sufficient in food production, so they developed the custom of going out to do business and making money on land. If you don't have money, go to sea.

"What if the grain harvest in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguang fails, or if the northern provinces encounter disasters and need a large amount of grain relief, and the Southeast Asian countries are not very wealthy, what should we do?

You and I only think of each household, or at most one city or one county, but the imperial court and the Holy Emperor want to think of everyone in the two capitals and thirteen provinces. It is said that having father and mother is not as good as having it in one's own pocket. The Holy Father not only has to consider disasters, but also has to face border dangers. The money and food consumed in the war are also not a small amount.

It was precisely because of this that the vassal government issued the "Order to Encourage Farming", and Li Zhi, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, insisted on promoting sweet potatoes and wheat despite impeachment during his lifetime. Regardless of whether we can be self-sufficient in food, we must ensure that the two capitals and thirteen provinces produce as much food as possible.

This is the will of the Holy One. The vassal can not change the vassal, the capital can not protect the capital, and the governor of Nanyang cannot withstand the change of governor. As long as the New Deal exists, this matter will not change.

Huang Lantou and the Thirty-Sixth Group had built a lot of sugar cane fields in Qiongzhou Prefecture. The feudal lord and the governor had already known about this, but they did not go to war because of the promotion of the New Deal. But after all, paper can't cover up the fire. Now the new policy is gradually stabilizing. If it is not ensured, if someone exposes the affairs of Qiongzhou Mansion, someone will have to live with it. "

Facing Huang Jianwang's disapproval and taking it for granted, Suzaku understood it very well, because he thought so too at the beginning. But with the improvement of status and different positions, my vision gradually broadened, I could see farther things, and my thoughts changed accordingly.

Yes, most people may never see it in their lifetime, or there is no need to see it, but it is better for some people to see it, such as the thirty-six lines. In recent years, with the promotion of the New Deal, the Thirty-Six Banks have grown stronger and stronger, and their tentacles have grown longer and longer, and they have been involved in almost all areas where money can be made.

As a purely non-governmental organization, there is nothing wrong with just focusing on making money. But when this organization grew because it took advantage of imperial decrees, it would be dangerous to just focus on money.

In the past, local officials in Guangdong were unable to spare time to deal with such businesses, but sooner or later they will be freed up. If they want to change the situation then, just like the farmers who were attacked by the black army, it may be too late.

These words have both his own thoughts and the meaning of the Governor of Nanyang. He explicitly ordered himself to find an opportunity to hammer out the thirty-six lines to make these people restrain themselves and not to force the court to kill Ma Su in tears. "Qiongzhou Prefecture... Mr. Zhu Daguan, this is a rumor. Someone was dissatisfied with the Thirty-Six Lines and made slanderous remarks. Don't believe it!" Upon hearing the three words Qiongzhou Prefecture, the wrinkles on Huang Jianwang's face were visible to the naked eye. There was a stir, and he hurriedly denied it, looking very sincere.

"It doesn't matter whether it's because of the false accusation against Huang Lantou. My little brother, I said it doesn't matter either. The governor will investigate clearly. If there are any corrections, he will be encouraged. Let's ignore this matter for the time being. The matter of going to Annan to plant trees is three things. Are you interested in Sixteen Lines?"

This face was all too familiar to Suzaku, and even if the local sugar cane farmers were confronted, let alone the lack of real evidence, Thirty-Six Lines would still refuse to admit it.

In fact, he didn't intend to let Thirty-Six Lines plead guilty easily. As long as he brought the words to the police, his benevolence and righteousness would be exhausted. He had neither the right to control nor the obligation to direct where he should go from now on.

On the contrary, the instructions in the secret letter must be implemented quickly. If Thirty-Six Lines is not interested, then go find other merchants. There is a shortage of everything in Guangzhou, except for businessmen with a lot of money looking for ways to invest.

"That's natural. There's no need to ask for the way Zhu Daguan pointed out. I just don't know how to operate it. How many silver taels and manpower are needed?"

Seeing that Suzaku didn't dig deeper, Huang Jianwang roughly understood the meaning of this advice. It was obvious that the Chief Envoy and the Governor of Nanyang had not yet made up their minds to thoroughly investigate the Thirty-Six Banks. The rumors that had been released were nothing more than a threat, and the purpose was probably to plant trees in Annan.

How to deal with it? It's too simple. Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials. Since others have expressed their opinions, then don't be shameless. You must have a good attitude first, and then study whether and how to do it.

If you really don't make money, you have to bite the bullet as long as you don't lose too much. No way, this is the unspoken rule. Emperor Wanli's official position is like this, and Emperor Jingyang's official position is not too outrageous. The difference is just a blatant request and a secret flirtatious glance that makes people ponder.

To be honest, businessmen prefer the former. You have to spend money anyway, just treat it as paying taxes. Don't waste your energy guessing riddles. If you guess wrong, both parties will be in trouble. "I'm afraid I can't explain this matter clearly with just a few words. Huang Lantou took the time to go to the Chief Envoy's Yamen and bring up his intention to plant trees in Annan to the feudal lord. Not only will he get a detailed answer, but he will definitely become a A guest of honor!"

Unfortunately, Zhuque was not a novice either, so he pushed Huang Jianwang to the Chief Envoy's Yamen in one stroke without even giving him a chance to escape. It's too late to say anything now. If you dare not go, you have ulterior motives. If you go, you will be manipulated by Zuo Guangdou.

"That's it, that's it. With Zhu Daguan's recommendation, the feudal government will have a higher regard..." At this moment, Huang Jianwang had probably greeted all the eighteen generations of Suzaku's ancestors, but he couldn't show it at all on his face. I have to bow and thank you all the time.
