Chapter 503 South of South Vietnam (seeking tickets)
The main energy of the Tang Dynasty was also in the north. If it weren't for the appearance of Yueshan, it is unknown when it would focus on the development of the south.

Rice naturally becomes more embarrassing without large paddy fields in the south, and only a few areas are planted.Moreover, it is not the staple food stipulated by the imperial court, and rice is not collected when paying taxes.

Yue Shan knew the importance of rice, and naturally he would not forget it in the development of Lingnan, and ordered people to find rice seeds and rice planting experts early on.

In this era, where are there good rice seeds, and where are there masters who grow rice?It must be the south of South Vietnam, and the well-known Champa is there.

Because of hydrological conditions, rice has always been the staple food here, and Champa rice, which is ripe three times a year, can be called a BUG-level thing—at least it was like this before potatoes and sweet potatoes appeared.

Even in later generations, the Southern Monkey Country has become the world's most important grain exporter by relying on rice.Well, they can only export food.

Yue Shan sent some businessmen to the south of Nanyue to spy on information under the guise of doing business, and found what he wanted as expected.

Then, under the pretext of buying slaves, they bought a large number of aboriginal people who could grow rice from the leaders of the local aboriginal people, and then used these people to grow rice in Lingnan.Unsurprisingly another success.

Although there is no way to do three crops a year, it is still okay to do two crops.

Why is he not worried at all about this locust plague?It is because there are hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land in the south of the Lingnan, and there are such fertile lands in the south of Nanyue.

It is a bit of an exaggeration to say that the food there is worthless. After all, the local level of civilization is too low, and everyone lacks the motivation to work when they are full and hungry.

In addition, the local monarch didn't have any big ideals and ambitions. He only wanted to dominate his own one-acre three-point land, and he didn't have any ideas of large-scale development.

So the rice output there is very high, but because of laziness, there is not as much food as expected.

But laziness is not a problem for Yue Shan, there are ways to mobilize your enthusiasm.

Find the local lords and set them up with the finest silks and porcelain, would you like it?If you want, you can exchange for food.

What, don't you care?
That's okay, what about Liuli?want it?

Facts once again proved that Liuli is lethal to all human beings, and those monarchs in the south of Nanyue knelt down in seconds.He desperately squeezed his subjects, and exchanged the squeezed grain for colored glaze.

Moreover, the two parties also signed an agreement to reclaim more paddy fields and plant more rice in exchange for more exquisite items such as colored glaze, silk, and porcelain.

Let's put it this way, Yue Shan is taking one step and looking at three steps.While engaging in the development of Lingnan, the idea has already been directed to the southern part of South Vietnam.

Such an important grain-producing area can no longer be left undeveloped as it was in the original history, and finally handed over to others.

The army operating south of South Vietnam is already in training, which is the [-]-strong mountain division that Ning Chun formed.The instructor corps was drawn from the military academy, the children of local rich families were selected as officers, and the local young and strong were recruited to form it.

It took half a year to complete the formation of this army, followed by various targeted training, and now it has initially formed its combat effectiveness, and it will be able to pacify the entire south at any time when the court is free.

The whole country is carrying out reforms, re-dividing various provinces, only Lingnan has not been split up for the time being and still belongs to Lingnan Road.

This is in consideration of the ongoing large-scale development. Only by having a unified leadership organization can better coordinate the resources of all parties for overall development, and the split will only be considered after the initial completion of the large-scale development.

There is another difference from other places, that is, there is only one supervisory institution and criminal punishment institution in other places, and there is no institution that performs the functions of the yamen.

Lingnan Road has all three.

The Lingnan governor's yamen, with three shifts and six offices and other departments exercising administrative functions, is actually the provincial management organization of later generations.

Another reason why the imperial court did this was to conduct experiments to see if the three-level management organization proposed by Yue Shan was feasible.

Then there is the personnel aspect.

After seeing the power of the Shenwei cannon, Feng finally decided to hand over all his military power. Tan Dian and the others simply handed over their private households when they saw that something was wrong.

The biggest hidden danger in the Lingnan region has disappeared, and there is no need to worry about rebellion from now on. As long as it develops step by step, it will one day become a land of prosperity for the Tang Dynasty.

Li Dewu's outstanding achievements in work, and with the help of Erzhu's family, he ascended to the position of county magistrate in one step.Although it is only a low-level county, after all, if you have qualifications, you can be promoted if you find an opportunity in the future.

Besides, the development of Lingnan, opportunities are everywhere, as long as you concentrate on your work, you will always have a bright future.

Zhou Shangyun finally felt relieved after receiving the letter from Yue Shan, and began to help the court communicate with the local barbarians, and achieved good results.

Local officials also expressed deep regret after learning of his experience, and re-accepted his new identity, and he also washed away his humiliation.

At first, he still wanted Ye Luo to return to his roots. After working there for a period of time, he liked the feeling of being respected.He completely gave up his desire to return to Beijing, and stayed honestly in the Lingnan area with his female leader Shuangsu Shuangfei.

This is a wise choice.

After offending Yue Shan and not being liked by Gao Shilian, he can only be an ordinary citizen and has no possibility of becoming an official when he comes back.

In case someone saw him upset that day and cleaned him up, there was no place to cry.How great it is to be free in Lingnan, and to be able to become a local figure with the help of a female leader.

No matter how you look at it, it is better than returning to Beijing.

Generally speaking, the development of Lingnan is proceeding in an orderly manner according to the established plan. As long as it continues to develop step by step, it will become the granary of Datang in three to five years.

After learning about this, Yue Shan finally let go of one concern. With the development of Lingnan to the present level, he can let go.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with saying that his means have almost been exhausted. Even if he is asked to personally support the big development, it is impossible to do better than Yu Wenjie and others.

After taking the students back to understand something in his heart, Yue Shan was free again, studying at home every day, taking time to work as a errand in the palace and meeting his future wife by the way, his life was not to mention very pleasant.

He was having a good time, but the outside was getting busier day by day.

The plague of locusts was finally relieved by the concerted efforts of the army and the people to capture and manage them. However, the severe drought became more and more serious, and the small rivers, small lakes and ponds basically dried up. Only the big rivers and big lakes still had water, but the water level had dropped to a very low level.

On the one hand, the imperial court organized manpower to dig wells everywhere to ensure drinking water for the people, and on the other hand, it carried out work-for-relief projects.One construction site after another was started, and hundreds of thousands of people became hired workers.

Although the design drawings of the new palace have not yet been made, the preparatory work has already begun.Clear ground, build brick kilns, deliver stone and lumber, and more.

Ship after ship of rice was successfully transported to the pass to appease the hearts of the people, and there was work to do. The people did not panic in the face of the catastrophe, but continued to live their lives and prayed for good weather in the coming year.

But for some people, this is not something to be happy about, such as those grain merchants hoarding grain and grass.

When the second batch of rice was successfully delivered by the court, they finally gave up their unrealistic thoughts and sold the grain in their hands at a low price while pinching their noses.

They did not follow the imperial court to sell five pennies a bucket, but seven or eight pennies a bucket.But this price is already very low, and the common people can afford it.

The grain merchants succumbed and declared the end of the grain shortage.After that, only a small amount of rice brought back by the imperial court circulated in the market, and most of it was filled into the reserve warehouse.

After solving the disaster problem, the imperial court was finally able to free up its hands and turned its attention to the north.

Tremble, Jerry.

　It's decided, in the next plot, Mie Jieli, he has been at ease for a long time, it's time to invite him to join the Royal Song and Dance Troupe of the Tang Dynasty.

　　Well, I have to think about how to kill him and how many chapters to kill him, so there are only two changes today.

　　By the way, please vote.
