Jia Lian doesn¡¯t believe that these vigorous and energetic men, nourished by good food and drink, are worried about not being able to create many people? "
Jia Lian plans to have all the retired soldiers from the guard station resettled in the next few years and take root in the coastal areas.
From now on, when the descendants of these tough military households in Haijiang grow up, it can be said that all the people are soldiers, farming in their spare time, joining the army in war, and ready to fight at any time.
Even if the Japanese pirates come again, they will have to think carefully.
Jia Lian dealt with these corrupt officials, as well as the local tyrants and evil gentry, and recovered 600,000 acres of land and turned it into provincial government land.
¡°These public fields are leased out, and the rental rate is 30% to 40%, which is pure income.
Jia Lian looked at the proceeds from quelling the civil uprising this time, and smiled. These are not good and bad things. Sitting on thousands of acres of fertile land is not enough, but he is also greedy. Now it is probably comfortable to drink from the northwest wind.
Jia Lian also had an unexpected personal gain. Three of the fifty local tyrants and evil gentry owned maritime trading houses. After being nationalized, they were auctioned back by Liansheng Trading House. Liansheng Trading House's business more than tripled.
With the expansion of the trading house, Jia Lian's annual salary increased from 50,000 silver to 150,000 snowflake silver according to the 30/30 ratio.
Jia Lian finally understood that every inch of land in Fujian-Zhejiang sea trade was valuable. No wonder so many people are risking their lives to get something out of the fire.
In the twelfth lunar month of this year, Jia Lian gave a greeting note to Emperor Jiakang, and asked people to send charcoal gifts to the emperor and his buddies in the six ministries to Kyoto. However, he himself began to visit one by one those common people who were frightened by the experience of the prefectures and counties.
Jia Lian took the little leopard Lu Yingjun and his brother with him, saying he was his son, and Zhao'er Xing'er as a follower. The group traveled on horseback and visited each one. By the way, record the local customs and customs. Jia Lian had another purpose in visiting prefectures and counties this time.
However, the people of Fujian and Zhejiang have already had enough food and clothing. According to the information provided by Xiong Changhao, the Franji people, the English people, the Fusang people and the Korean people, whether they are Easterners or Westerners, are all interested in China's silk tea.
Tea silk is precisely a product of the south. Jia Lian is going to visit the people and see which places are suitable for mulberry and silkworm raising. Which places are suitable for large-scale tea plantations?
Of course, these must be carried out without affecting the basic area. The Dayue Dynasty's fundamental policy of putting agriculture first cannot be changed. At any time, it is an important event for people to have full stomachs.
Not to mention, the thirteen concubines are really not just bragging. Everywhere Jia Lian went, he made new discoveries, and these discoveries coincided with those of the Shuji people.
Finally, based on the suggestions of these concubines and his own verification, Jia Lian selected three types of tea for key cultivation.
The most famous tea in Zhejiang is undoubtedly Longjing tea. Unfortunately, Longjing tea has very strict requirements on its origin.
Xinchang County also produces a kind of Big Buddha Longjing tea. This tea is highly fragrant and mellow, durable in brewing, and is a typical high mountain tea.
There is also Kaihua Longding tea from Kaihua County, the source of the Qiantang River. This tea has a tight, straight shape, silvery green hair, fresh and mellow sweetness, clear green soup and long-lasting fragrance.
Subsequently, Jia Lian visited mulberry farmers in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and finally decided to focus on mulberry planting in Huzhou. Jia Lian felt a little jealous when he looked at the twenty-year-old Shuji Shi with high morale. Jealous that he caught up with him at a good time and met himself, a superior who was willing to support his juniors.
On this day, Jia Lian once again supervised the Yamen to meet with three accomplished common people.
Jia Lian said: "Your name is Wang Yiming. Your idea is good, but Huzhou is suitable for the development of mulberry silk. If I appoint you as the prefect of Huzhou in the future, will you have the confidence to double or triple the production of mulberry silk in Huzhou?" three times?"
Wang Yiming's cheeks turned red with excitement and he bowed and said, "Thank you very much, teacher, for your cultivation. The students will definitely not disappoint the teacher."
Jia Lian looked at the other two people who were trying to persuade Jia Lian to develop tea gardens: "Your name is Xu Chen? Xu Chen, you are the chief registrar of Qiantang County Government. Next year I will appoint you as the magistrate of Qiantang County. It is said that there is only one authentic Longjing tea plant. As long as the mountains under your control are turned into Longjing tea gardens, and then you buy Franji Yingjili, I guarantee that the position of prefect in three years will be yours.
"Your name is Cui Fengju? The same goes for you, Chief Registrar of Xinchang County. I appoint you as the county magistrate. Can you, on the basis of ensuring that the people have enough food and clothing, promote the Big Buddha Longjing as a famous tribute tea for the entire dynasty? If you can, the three Years from now, the prefect of Shaoxing will be yours."
Xu Chen and Cui Fengju also bowed and saluted together; "Thank you very much, teacher, for your cultivation. We will definitely work hard!"
Jia Lian waved his hand: "I can recommend you, but you have to make political achievements that I can explain to the court, you know?"
The three of them bowed together and answered: "Ming?! "
Jia Lian raised his hand: "Sit down and talk. After three years as a county magistrate and three years as a magistrate, I hope you will go all the way. I hope you will go from the seventh rank to the first rank, one step at a time, and don't aim too high. There are thousands of buildings in the house, and seven feet of sleep at night. Delicious delicacies are nothing more than three meals, and no matter how much money you have, you won¡¯t be able to take them with you. You should understand what I mean when I say this, right?¡±
The three of them bowed again and saluted: "Understood, Your Excellency, you want us to learn from the Eight Prefects of the Haijiang Anti-Tax Bureau!"
Jia Lian believed in moderation in doing things. After he encouraged the three people he was optimistic about, the remaining ten people were not left out in the cold, and they all spoke highly of and encouraged them. After all, these people will be released to serve as officials in other provinces in the future. Maybe they are not accustomed to the local environment in the coastal areas, and suddenly they will become better at other places.
After Wang Yiming, Xu Chen and Cui Fengju returned, they naturally went deep into the prefectures, counties, villages and towns to investigate the details and prepare for the large-scale cultivation in March next year.
In order to support them, Jia Lian assigned each of them a guard team of twenty people to ensure their safety and to help them settle the ties between the local government and the local government. Lest they run into trouble and have no one to help them.
After inciting these concubines to scream and struggle, Jia Lian himself quietly returned to Jinling in green clothes and hat to worship his ancestors on the evening of the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. After a meal, Jia Lian returned to Haijiang to supervise the Yamen at night.
On New Year¡¯s Eve, not only the prefect of the government will come to pay Jia Lian New Year greetings, but the local people will also come to perform lion and dragon dances to thank Jia Lian, the biggest parent official, for his gift to them.
On this day of the visit, Jia Lian not only received great respect from Yazhou County, but also received all kinds of strange gifts from the people nearby.
There are chickens and ducks with wings, pigs and sheep with tethered limbs, pumpkins beaten in basins, winter melons the size of babies, and various dried fruits to eat. Jia Lian even received boiled eggs and duck eggs. There are also various vegetables.
Among the gifts Jia Lian received, there was a small baggage. Inside the baggage was a dark but sweet steamed bun. Very energetic to deal with.
Jia Lian distributed it to the officials who came to pay New Year greetings. In the end, no one ate it. Jia Lian had to use his keen sense of smell to analyze carefully. Finally, he discovered the ingredients of this kind of nest: "This is sweet potato noodles!"
When Jia Lian shouted this sentence, he suddenly realized that he had found a way to store sweet potatoes.
At the same time, Jia Lian also had new ideas for the use of the remaining sweet potatoes in the province. The sweet potatoes are so sweet, can they be used to make sugar?
Jia Lian quickly ordered his servants to go out and look for the people who had just given the gifts. Jia Lian believed that these people must not have gone far yet.
Soon, the old man who gave the gift found a group of grandparents from Jinshi Yunwu Mountain.
Because all the young adults in their family died in the war, their grandfather and grandson did not want to go to a nursing home to sit and wait to die, so they rented 20 acres of slope land from the government to plant sweet potatoes. Because the sweet potatoes had a bumper harvest, they could not eat them all and had a lot of mold.
This old lady thought, if wheat and millet are dried in the sun, they won¡¯t rot. Can sweet potatoes do the same?
So, he cut the sweet potato into slices, and it turned out that it could be stored for a long time.
When the dried sweet potatoes are ripe, they don¡¯t taste as good as the sweet potatoes of your choice, and his grandson is not willing to eat them.
The old woman thought again of grinding the sweet potato slices into powder like glutinous rice and then making them into nests. This time her grandson was happy to eat them.
A few years ago, Jia Lian visited orphans and widowed households and gave them rice, flour, cloth, five pounds of pork and one pound of sugar. The old woman had nothing at home to show her gratitude. Thinking that this kind of nest was her original creation, the governor was afraid that he would never eat it, so he steamed ten nests and gave them to Jia Lian with eggs and duck eggs to express his gratitude.
When Jia Lian heard what the old man said, he immediately clapped his hands and said happily: "Old lady, you have done a great job. Your method has helped the governor a lot. I want to reward you. Tell me, what reward do you hope to get?"
The old lady was shocked, but drying sweet potatoes actually made meritorious service. Don¡¯t be polite, sir. She waved her hands hurriedly: ¡°No, no, it¡¯s fine if you find it useful.¡±
Jia Lian smiled and said: "It won't work. If you have merit, you will be rewarded, and if you have mistakes, you will be held accountable. This is the law of this government."
Xing'er knew that the old lady was afraid that she would not understand, so she explained softly: "Think about it, how many people grow sweet potatoes in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces, and your family is not the only one who has rotten sweet potatoes. If your method spreads, it will benefit everyone." How many families and how many people will no longer go hungry? So, just feel at ease and speak out your wishes boldly."
The old lady finally believed that Jia Lian really wanted to reward her and was not telling a joke.
Then he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed to Jia Lian: "I do have a wish for my grandson. He has had no father or mother since he was a child. I can't make a lot of money. I don't have the money to send him to school. If you can let my grandson Free reading and literacy, my wife wakes up laughing even when she sleeps, and closes her eyes even after she dies!¡±
Jia Lian said: "Okay, don't worry. I guarantee that your grandson will become a literate scholar in the future. Don't talk about dying and wait to enjoy the blessings of your children and grandchildren!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel .com)I can read and write, my wife wakes up with a smile even when she sleeps, and closes her eyes even after she dies! "
