Xinzijuan Sunset Grass Trees Chapter 20 Farewell to You (First update please vote!)
"Jun Yu, we need to look at the problem from a longer-term and more dialectical perspective." Feng Ziying used the word dialectical, which puzzled Lian Guoshi. Feng Ziying explained it with a sentence of analysis and textual research, but it was difficult for Lian Guoshi to understand.
, but did not ask too much, but listened patiently to Feng Ziying's continued words.
"It cannot be denied at any time that agriculture is the basis of agriculture. The foundation of agriculture lies in the harvest of food. But for now, we have a prosperous population in the Zhou Dynasty and limited land. How to solve this contradiction?" Feng Ziying also sorted out her thoughts and explained herself
From the perspective of
Between 10,000 and 20,000 people will go to Dongpan to colonize the country. In the next ten years, they hope to bring in a total of 100,000 to 150,000 inland people to colonize Dongpan..."
Lian Guoshi also agrees with this point. Increasing land is the most direct and easiest way. Although the conditions in Dongpan are a bit more difficult, the water and heat conditions are good for rice production. In addition, there are salt fields, timber, and fur production, which is indeed enough to consume.
One or two hundred thousand people were hired, but one or two hundred thousand people was nothing to the Zhou Dynasty.
"This is the case in the East, but what about Nanyang? There is also Liaodong in the north. If there are sufficient conditions, it is not a problem for Liaodong to accommodate three to five million people. Brother Jun Yu, don't you deny this?"
Lian Guoshi hesitated for a moment, but nodded: "Liaodong is facing the Jurchen threat of establishing a state, and it is difficult to maintain the Han people's migration to guard the border. Moreover, the climate is cold, crop planting is difficult, and the harvest is difficult to guarantee. It may not be easy to realize this idea..."
"So I say that there must be a comprehensive and effective strategy to implement, and agriculture is only one part of it..." Feng Ziying paused, "For now, some of the new crops introduced by Lord Xu Guangqi from Western Yi
, I think it is also of great significance. If it can be promoted, it can largely make up for the shortcomings of many mountainous areas that are not suitable for planting wheat and rice..."
Lian Guoshi was very interested in this, "Ziying, can we promote such crops in Yongping Mansion?"
"Okay, if I hadn't left, I originally planned to carry out small-scale trial planting this year to see the effect. Now this important task depends on you, Jun Yu." Feng Ziying smiled and continued, "But I still insist on mine.
From a point of view, there is no stability without agriculture, chaos without coolness, no wealth without industry, and no life without business. The development of this kind of industrial and mining industry will greatly enhance the driving effect on agriculture. To give a simple example, whether it is plains or mountains
The reclamation of new land requires a large number of iron tools such as plowshares, axes and saws, hatchets, picks and shovels, which can only be produced through industry and mining. Similarly, these reclamations also require various materials, such as cement, etc...."
Feng Ziying spoke very patiently. He knew very well that his views were familiar to others in previous lives, but in this era they were heresies. Even an enlightened scholar like Lian Guoshi might not be able to accept them, so he just
Able to explain in detail and strive to persuade.
"Regardless of all types of production, the demand for industrial and mining products is actually huge. This is why I think it is necessary to vigorously develop industry and mining under the premise of agriculture and food. In addition to absorbing many unemployed people, it also
What is important is that these industrial and mining products can meet more needs from other aspects and form a virtuous cycle of interaction..."
…
This conversation lasted for more than an hour. Feng Ziying was not sure what the effect of her conversation was, but she felt that Lian Guo Shi still reluctantly accepted some concepts.
This is a very big progress and a good thing. As long as Lian Guoshi is willing to accept it and try experiments, he will eventually realize how prescient his ideas and views are, which will also help to establish his authority.
Feng Ziying mentioned four things that need to be urgently promoted in Lian Guo Shi.
The first is to immediately start introducing the potatoes and sweet potatoes that Xu Guangqi has successfully planted in Tianjin Wei, and promote them on a small scale in the wasteland available for reclamation in Yongping Prefecture. If the promotion is successful, the scale can be further expanded next year.
Even Feng Ziying himself planned to promote it immediately after taking office in Shuntianfu. Only he knew how powerful these two new crops would be once they were truly implemented and promoted.
The second is to promote the construction of a composite system of coal, iron and building materials in Luanzhou. This is an attempt to bind Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants, local Yongping gentry and Jiangnan and Guangdong merchants. Once successful, it will immediately have a demonstration effect and attract more Jiangnan merchants.
Capital enters to expand the scale of development.
The third is to promote the flow of commerce and trade through the construction of roads from Lulong and Qian'an via Funing to Yuguan Port, and later add the road construction from Luanzhou to Lulong, as well as the expansion project of Yuguan Port.
We should appease the 100,000 refugees from Sunchon Prefecture and prevent these people from flowing back to Sunchon Prefecture and impacting the Gyeonggi region once they lose their livelihood.
The fourth is to solve the problem of Huimin Saltworks.
After basically unifying his views, Feng Ziying was busy in the next few days introducing Zhuang Limin, Shanxi businessmen and local gentry to Wei Guangwei and Lian Guoshi. At the same time, he also took Lian Guoshi non-stop to inspect the coal, iron, building materials and military-industrial complex.
Project and road construction status, including Yuguan Port of course.
This series of projects was the deep mark left by Feng Ziying in Yongping Mansion. In comparison, the battle of Qian'an, the pacification of the refugees, and the Qing army's household checks were all done incidentally.
A few years later, you may not remember others, but this series of coal, iron, building materials and military-industrial complex projects standing on the land of Yongping Prefecture are the symbol of Feng Ziying’s great achievements, and as these mining workshops and ports grow, their role will become more and more important.
As they get older, they will find themselves more and more far-sighted and far-sighted.
When Feng Ziying finished all this, it was already ten days later.
He was very tired these five days. Except for Changli and Leting, which he did not go to, he accompanied Wei Guangwei to all the other four prefectures and counties, including Yuguan Port, to practice state affairs.
It can be said that after this lap, although Wei Guangwei and Lian Guoshi lost weight due to exhaustion, and the inside of Feng Ziying's legs were burned and uncomfortable, they finally made it clear.
"Jun Yu, I will leave all this to you. I hope that in two or three years, we can see a different Yongping Mansion standing on the land of Jingdong. We dare not say anything else, but by then maybe Yongping Mansion
How about that the industrial and commercial taxes and tariffs can rank first in Beizhi and the output of steel, iron and iron products can surpass Foshan?"
Farewell to the pavilion, Feng Ziying and her family's carriage lined up in a long queue, waiting quietly beside the post pavilion in the east of Lulong City.
Lian Guoshi smiled and said, "Well, Ziying, I thought you would raise such high expectations. Now it seems to be quite realistic. Industrial and commercial taxes and tariffs rank first in Beizhi. Should we get rid of Shuntian Mansion? You
If we don’t go to Shuntian Prefecture, I think we still have a lot to do in Yongping Prefecture. If you go, will you just sit back and wait for death? And the steel production has surpassed Foshan. What do I think about the three-year period? If it surpasses Foshan, maybe it will be punished.
You Shuntian Prefecture is overwhelmed, do you have this idea? I heard that those Shanshan businessmen are already looking forward to the Zunhua Iron Works and they are gearing up to do something big after they prepare for the auction."
Feng Ziying laughed loudly and put her arm around Lian Guoshi's shoulders, "Brother Jun Yu, who knows me, but whether Zunhua Iron Works can be auctioned depends on the opinions of the Ministry of Industry and the Cabinet, but it doesn't matter. Zunhua Iron Works will not change the current model.
, then let those Shanshan and Shaanxi businessmen copy the model in Yongping next to the Zunhua Iron Works, and we guarantee that the Zunhua Iron Works will be on the verge of death or even close down within a year."
Lian Guoshi's thoughts were as expected, and he smiled and shook his head: "Ziying, you have to take care of the public's face. Mr. Cui has always been full of praise for you. Why are you going to confront him as soon as you take office?"
"No, no, I have always respected Mr. Ziqiang. I will definitely find a way to do his job. He is not a pedantic person. In addition, I have to talk to Mr. Huaichang at the Ministry of War about the military battle.
The people in the Bureau and the Ordnance Bureau are rotten to the core. If there is no reform, I estimate that the army will refuse to use the firecrackers and artillery made by them. Compared with the firecrackers and cannons produced by Yongping Prefecture and Foshan, they make
What's coming out? It's not much better than burning a fire stick."
Feng Ziying also knew that the main intention of the princes in the imperial court to bring him back to Beijing was not to open mines and build forts, but to stabilize the security of the capital and appease the refugees. However, he had no intention of following the path set by the princes of the court.
Stabilizing public security in Gyeonggi and appeasing the refugees requires a multi-pronged approach, which requires not only public security improvement, but also the creation of sufficient employment opportunities. As for the rest, he can only take one step at a time.
Things in the capital city are unfathomable. Even Master Qi said that he was ready to go out to avoid the wind. Feng Ziying was also mentally prepared.
When Lian Guoshi heard what Feng Ziying said, he also knew that this guy was determined to have a hard time in Shuntian Mansion, but this guy did have capital, and his achievements in Yongping Mansion were obvious to all, and he also had confidence.
If he does something according to his own ideas, even the princes of the imperial court may have to observe it before making a conclusion.
"Okay, I know you want to do something big, but you have to take it easy. Only if you stay in this position for a long time, the chance of success in what you want to do will be greater. Haste makes waste, as the saying goes
Just think about it." Lian Guo didn't give much advice and glanced at the woman standing beside her with her sword pressed, "Okay, I have to say goodbye after a long journey, so I won't be a spoiler. The noble lady Ye He wants to blame me for my lack of discernment.
