Huang Xiyin did not expect Zhang Xiao, an outsider, to be so clear about the situation of local water conservancy facilities in Jiujiang. The reason why he mentioned this matter was probably to praise the achievements of the Song people, so he flattered: "After the enclosure is completed, Xiqiao Chaotian will
In a good year, Guangzhou has also become the largest rice market in China, with a large amount of surplus grain to support Fujian and Zhejiang, known as Guangmi. This is indeed a contribution to the present and will benefit the future."
Zhang Xiao is not embarrassed by Huang Xiyin's flattery. The Sangyuan Wai is indeed the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancient working people. It protects the South China Sea, Shunde's Fourteenth Fort, thousands of hectares of fertile land, and a large population. It is the most important embankment within the jurisdiction of Guangzhou Prefecture.
One of the important tax sources.
Zhang Xiao continued: "There is a section of dike in Sangyuanwei. Although it is only a few hundred meters, it is very important to Sangyuanwei."
"Chief, I wonder which section it is?" Zhang Jiayu was intrigued and asked.
"The Hengji of Jizan Village should have been built in the Yuan Dynasty." Zhang Xiao said: "This foundation is located at the foot of Xiqiao Mountain, and the Dalu Gorge Jiujiu will cause the river to rush into the plain on the back of the mountain from here. After the Jizan Hengji was built, the Mulberry Garden
The water in the swamps can be drained by water trucks to develop cultivated land and residential areas. Villages can be moved from the foothills to the lowland plains. The sluices can be set up around the embankments to control the inflow and outflow of tides. One-time rice can be transformed into double-cropping rice. However,
By the Ming Dynasty, the riverbed outside the outlet of the Niuliu Port was highly stagnant. Whenever the floods surged, not only the accumulated water within the enclosure could not be discharged, but the floods from the Xijiang River would flow back in, flooding the houses and rice fields, and the damage would become increasingly severe. Ming Hongwu 29
In 1999, Jiujiang's Chen Bowen, Guan, Cen and other surnames built a blockade in the Niuliu Port and used ships to sink stones into the river to intercept it, blocking the mouth of the Niuliu Port. In addition to this, the four counties of Nanhai, Xinhui, Sanshui and Shunde have jurisdiction over several districts.
Ten miles of dikes and embankments block the backflow of the tide."
Zhao Hening, who was looking around on the big boat before, was also attracted by the discussion of Zhang Xiao and others, and asked: "Chief, since the mulberry garden fence has such a huge effect and blocks the tide, why do I see that there are ponds everywhere but no rice fields?"
Woolen cloth?"
Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "Little girl, everything is a unity of opposites. Whenever there is an advantage, there is also a disadvantage. It is nothing more than choosing the lesser of two evils. After the mulberry garden was surrounded, although it blocked the intrusion of the tide, it also caused
Sangyuan is facing a flood prevention situation. In order to prevent floods, villagers in Jiujiang, Longshan, Longjiang and other places have dug low-lying fields that are easily flooded into ponds. The ponds have the functions of water storage and fish farming. The digging depth
The pond stores water, and the excavated soil is piled around the pond. The fields beside the pond are called the foundation, which is also the alternative name of the 'base' surrounding the embankment."
Zhao Hening looked at Zhang Xiao with a look of reverence and said, "I didn't expect that 'Jitang' came from this way."
"Yes, Jitang first developed from Jiujiang, Longjiang, Longshan and other places with the lowest terrain. This was a major change in the farming system of Sangyuanwei in the early Ming Dynasty."
Li Yao'er saw the scene along the way and felt that everything must be done at the right time, right place, right place and right people. There are tens of thousands of acres of fish ponds here. Why did he have to go to Xiangshan to dig again? Strange.
The reason is that bandits were rampant in the countryside before, so I never found a chance to investigate, so I went directly to the place where there is textile handicraft industry in Xiangshan.
What Zhang Xiao and his party saw along the way were that there were still many rice fields distributed in higher-lying areas, but the food produced in the Sangyuan area was no longer self-sufficient as early as the Wanli period. The closer to the low-lying areas of Jiujiang Lianglong
, the more the ponds are spread out like a chessboard. There are shrub-like plants planted on the pond foundations, which have been cut off from the roots and have just sprouted new branches and buds. There are also quite a lot of pond foundations.
Longan, lychee, citrus and other fruit trees are planted on it.
"Chief, they all say that Jiujiang is the birthplace of mulberry fish ponds. Why are there no mulberry trees?" Zhao Hening was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The mulberry trees he saw were mainly Jing mulberry and Lu mulberry. He drove along the Jiujiang River but never saw one.
She couldn't help but ask Li Yaoer about the mulberry trees she was familiar with. Jing mulberry and Lu mulberry are both general terms for a type of mulberry tree, which is a deciduous tree. There are many Jing mulberry trees with small leaves and serrated edges, while Lu mulberry trees are rare and have thick branches.
The leaves are large and thick.
Li Yaoer was not surprised either. Zhao Hening had lived a normal life since he returned to Lingao from Hangzhou. The agricultural knowledge he received from Class 1 was a little less than the children trained by the Agricultural Committee, so he pointed to the pond foundation.
Those newly sprouted branches said: "Isn't that right? The variety of mulberry trees here is very different from that in the north. It is called Guangdong mulberry, which is a shrub."
"Oh, so that's it." Zhao Hening scratched his head in embarrassment, a blush appearing on his delicate face.
Zhang Xiao couldn't help but laugh, "Hey, why is He Ning not working hard and not distinguishing the grains?"
"Teacher Zhang, you are laughing at me too! I am better at raising silkworms than you! Humph!" Zhao Hening said pretending to be angry, with his hands clasped together in front of his chest.
Zhang Jiayu has been following Zhang Xiao for a while. He has met many "chiefs" and found that Australians do not seem to have such a strict sense of hierarchy towards subordinates, but he was still surprised by Zhao Hening's behavior. Zhao Hening said that it was Chief Zhao's "
From the perspective of Ming Dynasty people, the so-called "adopted man and adopted daughter" was just a way to circumvent the imperial court's prohibition on ordinary families keeping slaves. However, Zhao Hening looked like a unruly princess and had no sense of being a slave. On Zhang Jiayu's side
Thinking about it, he kept staring at her unconsciously.
Zhao Hening naturally didn't know. He only felt that there was a pair of eyes behind her that seemed to be staring at her joke. He turned around and was about to teach her a lesson, but his eyes met with Zhang Jiayu's. Zhao Hening suddenly felt his heart beat faster when being targeted by such a handsome young man.
He turned red. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he could only say coquettishly: "Humph, you are all bullying me! Ignore you!" After saying that, he ran to the stern of the boat to watch the water splashed by the propeller.
At the moment when they looked at each other, Zhang Jiayu was aroused by the clear eyes. Then she realized that she had lost her composure. She wanted to follow him and apologize, but she also felt that men and women were not close to each other, and her legs were like big trees with roots.
As if he couldn't move even half a step, he was stuck in a dilemma, and said in his heart: "Don't look at anything inappropriate, don't look at anything inappropriate, Zhang Jiayu, you are really a beast!"
Zhang Xiao and Li Yaoer looked at each other and smiled, shaking their heads and shrugging.
"Where is that place?" Zhang Xiao suddenly asked Huang Xiyin, pointing in the direction of a large area of land that seemed to be planted with Guangdong mulberry trees in the distance.
"Going back to the chief, that's Datong over there. There's a market nearby called Datong Market, which is within the territory of Jiujiang Fort." Huang Xiyin replied.
"Lie to Kangxi"
In this way, unknowingly, the fleet slowly approached Jiujiang Market. Along the way, no one dared to attack the two black-smoking steamships.
The bayonet reminded the traveling merchants and shipowners that they were a group of Australians.
"It's so lively here!" This was the first time for Zhang Xiao to see such a bustling rural scene. Compared with Lingao at the beginning of D-Day, the scene in this rural area was as different as clouds and mud.
According to historical records, from the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were two markets and fifteen markets in the Sangyuanwei area. Almost every fort had a market, with a flat distribution. There were abundant commodities traded in the market, with rice agricultural products as the main
Mainly, Jiujiang Township benefited from the monopoly trade of fish and flowers and the development of the silk industry, forming a high-density market distribution that is different from other regions.
Due to the needs of agricultural production, most of the several intermediate markets in the area are located at the intersection of water networks, becoming a transfer station for the entire Sangyuanwei to communicate with the outside world. However, there is not much complementarity between the intermediate markets, and each is relatively independent.
Covering its surrounding grassroots markets only needs to meet the market demand of a larger area.
Before the Jiajing period, common people were prohibited from setting up family temples to worship their ancestors. Only officials could grant permission to build family temples to worship their ancestors. After the Jiajing period, the emperor allowed people to build temples to worship their ancestors. Since then, there have been many family temples and ancestral halls in the Pearl River Delta. As the saying goes: "Shunde Ancestral Hall"
Nanhai Temple (Family Temple)." The construction of the market was dominated by clans, so it formed the characteristics of having ancestral halls and temples as the center, and shops arranged around the ancestral halls. In the late Ming Dynasty, the boundaries of the market in Sangyuanwei were closed, and at the entrance and exit
Gate posts are set up, and many entrances and exits lead to neighboring villages or to rivers.
In the first year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, the people of Jiujiang Township took advantage of water transportation to build the Tianfei Temple front market and the Kaibian market along Shimayong and Caspian Sea (Jiujiang River). In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the three markets of Caspian Sea, Liangcun and Yuewan were formed.
In total, more than a hundred market pavilions were built for commercial activities. Huang Chong, the young minister of Taichang Temple, Chen Wanyan, the imperial censor, Huang Yingxiu, the prefect, Zhu Rang, Guan Jiyi and other gentry of the past dynasties all participated in the construction of the market. By the middle of the Qing Dynasty,
The three ruins are collectively known as the Jiujiang Great Market. During the Republic of China, it was a separate city with eight other regions, including Foshan and Jiangmen. It was known as "Little Guangzhou", which shows its prosperity.
The development of Jiujiang Daxu is similar to that of Foshan. They both gradually prospered due to the development of local handicrafts and were not towns established by the government. Jiujiang Daxu Straight Street was built along both sides of the Jiujiang River, with shops facing the water on both sides of the river.
The shops on both sides of the straight street are called "gassho households", and the rest of the streets and alleys are distributed in the shape of "fei" along the river. There are rice shops, banks, and silks and satins. Because the streets are narrow, only more than two meters wide, every three, six, and nine markets
On the market day, there are really huge crowds of people, and the water can't flow through the market. From morning to night, the market is crowded with people, making it a lively scene.
After taking office, Zhang Xiao studied the policies of the Ming Dynasty and the Senate on rural trade. Since ancient times, imperial power has not been sent to the countryside. The Ming Dynasty court basically kept this kind of rural market in a free-range state. It neither encouraged trade nor interfered with it. If trade
The scale is small, and there are basically no officials to collect taxes. These small rural trades will not be directly affected by the imperial court's commercial tax policy. However, it is not completely ignored at the county level. Since the Yuan Dynasty, there have been inspections under the county-level yamen.
Division. In every town and city, inspection departments are set up at key points in passes, under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate. Inspection inspections are generally of the ninth grade. The inspection department is not a purely civilian function. Although the purpose of setting up the inspection department is mainly for public security and focuses on
It had a military function, but over time, it gradually became divided into civil and military inspections, and had the functions of a county dispatched agency.
