Chapter 196 Diagnosing the pulse?
Seeing how old Xue dared to be angry but dared not speak, Ji Song knew that he had been taught a lesson by Li Jing many times fact, Li Jing also wanted to do his best, but his education method was not flattering.
Xue Wanche, a human being in his thirties, was beating people in front of so many people in public. As a general, he was always good-looking. What did this make him think? "Uncle Li, please spare him! It's not like you don't know who he is, so don't embarrass him." Ji Song stepped forward to persuade him.
"Humph!" "Humph!"
The two of them snorted coldly at the same time, turning their faces away without looking at the other.
"I'd better explain it!" Qin Qiong couldn't stand it, but after all, the relationship hadn't gone far yet, so it was a bit inappropriate to talk about it. She saw Ji Song trying to persuade them to stop, and then she said.
"Let's put it this way! Everyone knows how difficult it is to open up wasteland. It's not that people don't want to open up wasteland. After all, who doesn't want their family to have more fields?
But that’s the reality. If you can’t even take care of your own fields on weekdays, how can you have time to open up new fields?But Brother Song is different.
He relied on the power of the court and the government to accomplish such a thing. Without strong logistical support and enough food to wait until the harvest, he couldn't even think about opening up wasteland. "
Qin Qiong's family was in decline at that time, and he had also farmed. He knew all about the difficulty here. He went on to say: "To organize and ensure that so many people open up wasteland at the same time, the difficulty here is no less than 10 people in a game." Man’s Armageddon.”
"Whether it's logistics scheduling, personnel allocation, material mobilization, plus the complex relationship between local governments and powerful people, they are all insurmountable difficulties in opening up wasteland."
If Brother Song can really accomplish such a feat, I can say that he will definitely be famous in history in the future. "
"But that's not the most important thing."
Cheng Yaojin also became serious at this time. He understood very well what changes Ji Song's big move would bring to Guanzhong and even the Tang Dynasty.
"This is indeed not the most important thing. With these cultivated lands, Guanzhong will accommodate more people. The food problem in Guanzhong will also be greatly solved.
Moreover, as long as these 200 million acres of cultivated land are cultivated, the court will have nearly one million dan more grain in the year after next. How big a change will this be? "Li Jing said seriously.
"Not bad!" Chai Shao took over the conversation again.
"This time, half of the cultivated land will be distributed to the people who are clearing up wasteland, and half will be owned by the government. In other words, in addition to the food produced by the people in this half of the cultivated land, the rest belongs to the court. This will greatly alleviate the food shortage in Guanzhong. The dilemma!
And I listen to Pingyang, this is just the beginning. When the Guanzhong incident is completely over, Sinong Temple will promote this good policy throughout the world.
That is, the government organized the people to open up wasteland and dig canals. Afterwards, the people and the government divided the land officials will also receive benefits, which will eliminate the drawbacks of government officials slacking off in administration and no one will refuse. "
Xue Wanche was dumbfounded at this time. Just opening up wasteland and cultivating land can solve the problem of feeding the people? Of course, it was not as simple as he thought. At this time, the Central Plains Dynasty no longer had the power to rule directly to the grassroots level during the Qin and Han only reaches the county level.
Regardless of whether it is a township or a village, it is in a state of long as you pay the taxes you should pay, the government will basically not come looking for at the same time, the government does not have much power and action. Everything is handled through consultation with the local powerful families. Many benefits do not reach ordinary people at all.
The government does not have much money and food, and it cannot directly rule down to the lowest level. This also makes it impossible for officials such as county magistrates to take big actions, let alone organize people to open up wasteland.
There are no benefits, the land used for land reclamation belongs to the state, and officials are often transferred. Who is willing to do these thankless things? But things are different now. Government officials can get a lot of benefits from this. It is an honest income. Who wouldn't want it?
However, the imperial court also imposed some restrictions in this regard, that is, it only opened up wasteland in places suitable for farming and irrigation, and rarely went to places where irrigation was impossible.
This is also a restriction to prevent officials from disorderly clearing land for political achievements, but the land created is of little value.
Otherwise, given the virtues of those officials, I am afraid that some of them would really be dishonest, which would not be the original intention of the court.
Li Jing looked at Ji Song who was calm and composed. He really couldn't believe that this young man in front of him had done such a great thing for the present and for the future. The difficulty of this is no less than that of a big battle. As the top coach of the Tang Dynasty, he understands the difficulty of this.
Lure the people and officials with benefits so that they can solve problems for he himself was in a transcendent state, and all matters were solved by local officials.
There must be a lot of secret deals in this, but it is inevitable. If you don't feed them, who will work for you? A careful mind and strong organizational skills are the prerequisites for becoming a talented Ji Song had all these, which made Li Jing a little jealous, but when he thought of Ji Song's status, he felt sad again.
If you can see this yourself, your Majesty must also be able to see he was still placed in the current position of Shaoqing of Sinong Temple. It shows that His Majesty has his own ideas and it is better not to interfere.
"My dear! Brother? How come you are so smart that you can do such a big thing so quietly?
If Chai Shao hadn't mentioned it today, who would have known you could do such a big thing? "
Lao Xue was completely overwhelmed by his brother's courage and patted Ji Song's shoulder with a proud look, which made Ji Song's teeth hurt.
"Actually, my nephew doesn't do much in these things. First, His Majesty's support gives my nephew great confidence. Then there are the officials below. For many things, my nephew just makes plans and decisions. They did the rest. My nephew still knew how much he weighed.
Such a big thing, if I rely solely on my nephew, I would not be able to complete it even if I am exhausted. "
Qin Qiong patted Ji Song's hand and said, "You are a good boy. You are not proud of taking credit. You know how to give credit to your subordinates. This is how you do great things.
Be willing to give up, be willing to give up, only by giving up can you gain!You are still young. When we, the older generation, are almost gone, you will be the heritage of the Tang Dynasty. With you, the land we have fought for for the common people for a lifetime can become the heritage of our nation.
If you do your job well, we will be able to block any monsters or do your thing. As long as you are upright, no one can do anything to you. Just go ahead and do it! "
Qin Qiong's words made Ji Song's eyes wet. Just when he was about to say something, he felt the pulse on Qin Qiong's wrist, which surprised him! Without caring about anything else, she hurriedly grabbed his wrist, placed her hand on his pulse and closed her eyes to check for it.
Everyone was stunned when they saw Ji Song's actions, and then looked at Qin Qiong with a smile on his face in surprise, letting Ji Song do whatever he wanted! (End of this chapter)
