"You are the county magistrate of this city and have stayed here for more than a year."
"Tell me about your five-year plan for this city."
County magistrate's residence.
It is also extremely simple. Even if conditions are met, it will not be too showy according to Qin law.
The bricks and wood are combined, the color is dark yellow, the green embellishments are almost invisible, and the rockery and green springs are even missing, inside the small main hall.
Although it was a bit dirty, Zhou Qing didn't care. He knelt down and looked at the people below him. His eyes fell on the county magistrate Baicheng.
His message, which he inquired when he came recently, was that Qian Chang, who had retired from the army, was injured during the attack on Chu.
Later, I obeyed the orders of the government and the army and came to Fan County as the county magistrate. In a flash, I am now here, swaying the tea in my hand and speaking.
Five-year plan!
According to the documents issued by the government, each county under Da Qin is required to formulate its own five-year plan as an assessment for official promotion.
If you pass the assessment and do well, then there is hope for promotion.
If the job is not done well, transfer him to another place or demote him. There are many people who can do the things you cannot do.
Of course, if the five-year plan is not done well, such as improving some trivial things, the county government will not approve it at all.
Zhou Qing also did not expect that the development model he had set in the previous four counties would be adopted by the Xianyang government and promoted by his brother.
This mode is very good!
"The Marquis of Wuzhen County."
"Five-year plan of Fan County."
"……."
"First, the number of people registered in the civil register is more than twice as high as today."
"Secondly, the taxes in Fan County in five years will be more than twice as high as they are now."
"Thirdly, the number of cultivated acres around the city is more than three times that of today. The county's total acres of farmland are now measured at 3,000 hectares. In five years, it will reach more than 10,000 hectares."
"Fourth, if the villages to which the county belongs are educated, the people's customs will be good. After five years, there will be very few thefts."
"Fifth,..."
"..."
Baicheng bowed deeply and met the prince's gaze.
I thought about it for a while, and then stated the five-year plan that I had personally set. It was not very complicated, but it was definite.
Admittedly, it is also drawn up in accordance with the standards issued by the county government.
No matter what, we must make progress compared to now.
"If we can reach that level in five years, I think it will be superior."
"However, with the current situation of the city, there are still enough acres of land around it for cultivation. Whether it is the number of people, the number of acres, or the amount of taxes, there will be a limit."
"Five years later, as usual, there will be another five-year plan."
"What will happen next?"
"What about ten years from now?"
"Don't be afraid. I am not blaming you. In five years, if you can finalize the planning, I will be satisfied."
"But it's not a long-term solution."
"I am responsible for the general administration of the counties south of the Yangtze River. I will not only take care of the next five years, but also the next ten, twenty years, and even longer."
"Is there anything that can be called unique here in the county?"
"Any city that wants to expand for a long time must have something unique of its own."
"Shu County, Chengdu, Shu County is famous among all the Xia Dynasties. As long as Shu County continues to exist, Chengdu Prefecture will continue to prosper."
"The land of Bajun Jiangzhou, where merchants gather and there are many trades in minerals, cinnabar, and mercury, will always be prosperous."
"Some of the small towns under my command also have their own forests, bamboos, flowers and herbs, etc. Do you have anything similar here?"
Zhou Qing looked at Baicheng.
Give him credit for his five-year plan.
Although it is not very outstanding, it is quite satisfactory. If it is expanded like this, there will be a lot of changes here in five years.
However, it is not what I want to see.
Looking at the other party's somewhat frightened expression, Zhou Qing smiled slightly and then said a lot.
"You can think about it later."
Xue'er, Qian Hong and others were not following him. They were in the city, collecting relevant information.
"Marquis of Wuzhen County!"
"If so, there are many mountains around here in Fan County. When people build houses, they often go into the mountains to cut down fir trees, moso bamboo and other materials."
"This thing should be useful."
Bai Cheng bowed, lowered his head, thought for a moment, and after counting his breaths, responded quickly.
"certainly."
"Anything else?"
"If the trees are cut down in an orderly manner and then planted in an orderly manner, it will be a long-term solution."
A word from Zhou Qing.
"The Marquis of Wuzhen County."
"These days, we were told by the people in the village that there seems to be a lot of coal in the mountains thirty miles east of Dongcheng."
"Many merchants bought those things when they came in, and the prices were quite high."
In the hall, one person thought of something and spoke quickly.
"Charcoal?"
"Well, this thing can be used for burning, heating, and making weapons."
"It can be of great use."
Zhou Qing muttered and looked at the man.
Immediately, following what the county magistrate and county magistrate said, the rest of the people in the hall also spoke up and made suggestions for the expansion of Fan County.
Things that had not been thought of before appeared one after another.
And they can be used for big, small, or even long-term purposes.
"..."
"..."
Zhou Qing praised them one by one.
Sometimes, with a little bit of guidance, the results will be surprising.
"The Marquis of Wuzhen County."
"There is another kind of thing here in Fan County, which is unique to Fan County."
"There are a lot of dolomite and dolomite on the mountains outside the city. The pottery made from those things is very smooth, beautiful and exquisite."
"The merchants come and go and buy a lot."
“And no other place can bake as well as we do here.”
“I wonder if it’s considered unique?”
Another person spoke up.
After saying that, he looked at Wuzhen Junhou with a little anxiety.
“As long as it’s not found elsewhere, it’s naturally unique.”
"In Fan County, where I came from, I also found a lot of white sand and stones on the mountains outside the city. I have never seen them in other places before."
"Can you get some for me to take a look at?"
"Let's get two hundred catties of each kind."
Zhou Qing stood up after committing the crime and looked at everyone with a smile.
"As I said today, you can draft a new five-year plan and submit it to the county government. During this period, I will be in charge of the counties south of the Yangtze River."
"But for those who have made great achievements, whether it is titles or promotions, I will personally recommend them to Xianyang."
"You all have a chance."
Today's conversation will not only happen in Fan County, but will happen everywhere we go.
There is currently a shortage of qualified officials in the counties of Da Qin. A large number of them are transferred from the military. They are often accustomed to obeying and lack their own ideas.
Let them manage the occupied areas during wartime, and they are absolutely qualified.
Now, it is no longer feasible.
"Here!"
"Here!"
"..."
The county magistrate, county captain and others stood up and bowed deeply.
It seems that with Wuzhen Junhou sitting in charge of Jiangnan, their life will not be easy.
…
"Sir, Fan County is a microcosm of many counties in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Many cities to the south are not as good as here."
Bai Qianhong and some people from Zhengshitang approached.
The land south of the Yangtze River was in the hands of the Chu State, and there was no major development at all. So now that the young master wants to develop the south of the Yangtze River, he needs a lot of effort.
"Heaven and earth are yin and yang, everything has two sides."
"Chu State has not made any major expansion into Jiangnan, so for me, Jiangnan is just like a piece of paper that has not been painted with ink."
"I will allow you to calligraphy and painting."
Jiangnan.
Now is just the beginning, there are still twenty years to go.
No rush.
"Sir, the magistrate of Fan County sent people to deliver dolomite and dolomite."
"The submission was made by the young master."
Xue'er came forward, followed by two soldiers, who were carrying two baskets of different things.
Light white stone.
The fine white soil is called dolomitic soil here.
"Brother, what do you want this for?"
Xiaomeng held the Wuchen Sword in her arms and stayed in the courtyard here, walking around at will and staying with her senior brother. Everything felt fresh.
There are many different places among the summers.
"You'll find out later."
"You guys go down first."
Waving his hands to the two soldiers, Zhou Qing stepped forward and took a look at what they were carrying.
"White stone."
"White sand?"
"I have seen black sand, yellow sand, and brown sand, and now I see white sand."
The young master would not be interested in some vulgar things for no reason. Yan Lingji took a step forward and explored with one hand, and the white sand fell into her hand.
In terms of touch, it's nothing special.
I sniffed it lightly, but there was no special smell.
"Fan County."
"This is a good place."
"This place is not far from Nanchang, if it goes as expected."
"Then, Fan County may become a prosperous city in the south of the Yangtze River in ten years."
"Get you something good."
Zhou Qing raised his hand and made a move, and the dolomite and dolomite flew out of the basket. Obeying the vacuum's will, the stone was directly crushed into pieces, and the sand was completely purified.
The mind turns at will, and the void automatically condenses the water flow.
When they gather together, a white ball of soil gradually takes shape.
Zhou Qing put his hands behind his back, looking at the white soil three feet in front of him with a pair of purple eyes.
After dozens of breaths, the lump of soil split into five parts and then transformed into their respective shapes.
White clay plate.
White clay flower vase.
White clay bowl.
White dirt brush wash.
White clay flagon thing.
Peng!
As soon as the five white earth-shaped things appeared, extremely hot flames emerged and completely enveloped the five pieces of earth.
"Sir, do you want to make porcelain?"
Yan Lingji was startled.
The young master spent so much effort just to make porcelain?
There are a lot of porcelain in the natural settlements in Xianyang, and there are craftsmen in Guanzhong who use different kinds of clay to make porcelain.
The shape is exquisite, far exceeding that of bronze vessels, pottery and other objects. Xianyang Palace has now gradually replaced it, as have the important officials of the temple dynasty.
I also learned about the formation of porcelain in Xianyang.
Is that how it’s made?
"porcelain?"
When Xueer heard this, she also nodded. The young master is really making porcelain now.
"porcelain?"
"It is indeed porcelain."
The temperature of the flame gradually increased, and Zhou Qing controlled it as he pleased. After hearing what the two said, he saw that it would pass and gave a positive response.
porcelain.
Of course it's porcelain.
Here in Fan County, over the years, it has another name.
