"Oh, this piece of land is for growing tea!" Zhu Jun introduced: "The experimental fields here are all contracted. The Fengyang Prefecture Yamen will uniformly allocate the planting. When the time comes, the harvest will be uniformly organized and sold by the Wu Prince's Mansion.

reveal all the details.

However, growing tea does not yield immediate results, so there are crops in other experimental fields that can bear fruit in the short term.

At the same time, we also raised chickens, ducks and geese in the countryside, built farms, and raised cattle, sheep, and horses.

It was also the backbone of the Yamen and Prince Wu's Mansion.

If nothing else happens, the annual income of a single household should be more than 20 taels.

This is just the beginning, there will be more in the future." Zhu Jun said.

An income of twenty taels per household?

Zhu Yuanzhang calculated in his mind that one tael of silver can buy one stone and five buckets of rice, and twenty taels can buy thirty shi of rice.

I can't finish it.

Moreover, the imperial court exempted Fengyang from taxes for many years.

He nodded with satisfaction, "What if the harvest is not ideal?"

"If we have told you everything, we will naturally give them basic protection!" Zhu Jun said: "With this unified management and distribution, it will be difficult for ordinary people to invade and annex land.

It can also protect the interests of the people.

Of course, Prince Wu's Mansion and Fengyang Magistrate's Office will not interfere with the money. When the time comes, the head of a village will hold a representative meeting.

It will be distributed under the supervision of representatives from the Yamen and the Royal Palace.

The excess money will be used to establish village committees, develop villages in a unified manner, etc.

This is a manual, father, you can read it!"

Zhu Jun took out the rural cooperation guarantee manual and handed it over.

There were more than one copy, he gave one to each of them, but Song Lian and Yang Xian were left behind.

Song Lian and Yang Xian watched eagerly to see if there was any way.

Everyone looked over and nodded.

However, many people's hearts are bleeding.

There is a lot of land contributed by them!

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed the word "new countryside" in the cooperation manual and couldn't help but ask: "What is a new countryside?"

"This is the new era of rural areas!" Zhu Jun pointed to the rural road made of cement on the ground, and then pointed to the experimental field, "In the past, people relied on the sky for food. If the harvest was good, they could barely get enough to eat, but if the harvest was bad, it would be difficult to pay taxes.

You have to sell your sons and daughters to be slaves for rich masters in order to survive.

Now, the government has stepped in to protect the interests of farmers to the greatest extent.

In the past, villages were synonymous with poverty and dilapidation, but the villages in Fengyang were not like this.

The villages here have flat and solid cement roads, neat and uniform fertile fields, and there will be uniformly built houses in the future.

The real purpose of the new countryside is not to do these superficial things, it is mainly to help farmers get rid of poverty.

Let them have the confidence to face the disaster years."

Everyone stared at Zhu Jun intently, shocked by Zhu Jun's bold words.

However, many people think he is whimsical.

This kind of thing is simply impossible to do.

Yang Xian also smiled, "Although the new rural areas are good, how many villages are there in the country? If they were all like Fengyang, how much money would be invested?

Not to mention the money invested, how much money can be recovered?"

"Haha, I can't communicate with an idiot like you. You just want to lie on the farmer's body and suck blood and bones, and you can't wait to suck out all the farmer's marrow.

I am different from you. I just want the farmers to have support, confidence, and dignity to live.

Even if there are natural disasters or man-made disasters, there will always be enough food in their warehouses.

When they are sick, they have money to pay for medical treatment.

The children in their families don't have to dig in the land for food, or they can be like the children of the old men, dressed neatly and go to school to change their destiny.

They can also buy expensive cloth and eat in restaurants.

This is my original intention in doing this.

I always believe that sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.

When the court helps the people, it cannot focus on taxation and profits.

Otherwise, it will not be long ago!"

Yang Xian was extremely angry, but what Zhu Jun said was too fair and upright, which made him feel despicable.

"What Your Highness said makes sense. It's just that running a big country is like cooking small dishes. There are too many places to use money.

This cement road is indeed easy to walk, but how much money does it cost to build it?

The national treasury has only invested three million taels in revenue into the countryside. Not only will it not accomplish much, I'm afraid, it will all be lost!" said Yang Xian.

"So I say that you are not only stupid, but also useless!" Zhu Jun curled his lips, "I have said everything that needs to be said. From now on, you'd better shut up.

I don’t even bother to scold you, you have a dirty mouth!”

"King Wu, let's just discuss the matter, why hurt others maliciously..." Song Lian couldn't help it anymore.

"When I'm talking to others, it's your turn to interrupt? If it weren't for the fact that you are my eldest brother's teacher and have taught me a few classes, I would have scolded you!" Zhu Jun snorted, making Song Lian angry at all.

No temper at all.

"Okay, stop arguing!" Zhu Yuanzhang closed the manual. The new rural area was indeed very good, and he himself had suffered through it.

I know very well how the people live.

Zhu Jun truly cared about the people.

"Fengyang did not ask the court to allocate funds for building new rural areas!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Fang Keqin, "Is that right?"

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, the cement for this road was purchased by Fengyang Prefecture. I learned that the villagers came to build the new countryside for free.

So apart from the cost of cement, I didn’t spend much money either.

Even the stones and big stones were picked up by the villagers from the river and carried back through the mountains.

There is another point that His Highness King Wu may not have made clear.

The new rural areas are temporarily implementing a contract system, which means that everyone has the obligation to contribute to rural construction.

Currently, new rural areas are still under construction. This year, half of the villages in Fengyang Prefecture will have roads built. Fengyang will plan to build roads into counties, villages, and villages within three years!

The next step is to build a school, which is also part of the three-year plan.

By then, every child of appropriate age must receive education!”

"Amazing!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but praise: "We came to Fengyang and refreshed our knowledge every day. We finally understand why Fengyang can recover so quickly and is so energetic."

"The humble minister is also carrying out the orders of His Highness King Wu. He cannot deserve His Majesty's praise!" Fang Keqin said modestly, but when he looked at Zhu Jun, his eyes were full of fanaticism!

Zhu Yuanzhang lost all his anger and looked at Zhu Jun, "You did a good job. You did everything we wanted to do, even better than we imagined.

Please write down a summary of the methods for the new rural areas. We must read it seriously and carefully!"

As he said this, he looked at the others and said, "We think this new countryside is very good, but if we use the previous methods to build a new countryside, it will undoubtedly be a foolish dream.
