Decentralization!
This is Hong Chengchou’s strategy!
However, he seems to have chosen the wrong person.
The wealthy households in Lantian County have survived for hundreds of years under the Yun family's power. Facing the more powerful and domineering Yun Zhao, they naturally know how to choose.
Asking a few local snakes in Lantian County to believe a senior official who had left Guanzhong and gone to northern Shaanxi, I don’t know what Hong Chengchou was thinking.
Perhaps, he thought that he had killed so many people in Shangnan County and that he should scare the locals.
Even as wise as Hong Chengchou, he underestimated the influence of the Yun family in Lantian County.
As long as there is a bumper grain harvest this year, even if Yun Zhao leads the people in Lantian County to rebel, there will probably be a response.
The rich households in the three townships of Southeast and West face Yun Zhao’s darkest thought and just stay away from the Yun family. As for leaving, they still dare not.
It is the decentralization of power that makes Yun Zhao, who likes to monopolize power, feel a little uncomfortable.
However, seeing that Zhang Tianxiong was going to get a batch of fat pigs from Xiangyang Mansion for him to slaughter, Yun Zhao still had a little expectation.
Allowing big business owners to purchase land in Shangnan and Lantian counties is a pure dream!
Yun Zhao has never planned to expand the Yun family's fields. Since he has tried his best to prevent him from annexing the land, as for others, it is purely a dream to do so.
Although large fields are more likely to produce benefits, small fields are more calming.
The output of large fields can only enrich some people, but small fields can give more people hope of having enough to eat.
As for the lack of land, you can open up wasteland, which Yun Zhao will never object to.
In the future, the land in Lantian and Shangnan counties can only be added, not subtracted. As for large-scale land reclamation, it will cause water and soil erosion, which is a high-level worry for the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Yun Zhao spent six days gathering eleven bookkeepers to recalculate the area of newly cultivated land in Lantian County.
Finally, the proportion of farmers in Lantian County has been increased to 60%. With the addition of 10% of wealthy households and 20% of wealthy households, the proportion of taxpayers in this county has finally become something to behold.
As for the remaining 10% of local tenant farmers in Lantian County, Yun Zhao really has no choice. After all, the county government has strongly encouraged land reclamation, seed distribution, and leasing of farm tools. If there is no land, individuals are unwilling to own it. land.
Many of these people are craftsmen. They do not believe the county government's promise not to collect more taxes, and would rather make a living by crafts than farming.
The wealthy families are also very satisfied. Now, all their tenants have been replaced by refugees.
It is easier to use than the local people in the past, and they are more obedient. The ratio is 40 to 60.For example, the refugees have been very satisfied.
With a low starting point, satisfaction will be greatly improved. This is determined by the current actual situation of Lantian County.
The land register has been compiled, and Yun Zhao sent people to make land deeds for these government-certified lands according to the region, and replaced all the old land deeds. This thing was made in triplicate. The owner of the land, the county Yamen and government yamen each keep a copy for comparison.
After doing these things, Yun Zhao’s official business in Lantian County has been completely handled...
The thief God never refuses to provide help when the time is right, but he often does things that are the icing on the cake.
Just when everyone thought it would never rain again this spring, on the day of the Beginning of Summer, it rained heavily!
This rain is very beneficial to replenishing the water in Lantian County reservoirs and pond weirs, but for other places, the benefits are very limited.
The food in Lantian County has been planted in the ground and is growing vigorously under irrigation conditions.
For the people of Lantian County, this heavy rain only means they have to water their crops less. For other places, especially in Yansui, the crops have long been killed by drought, even in No amount of water will help.
The corn planted by Yun is already half a person tall. Its thick trunk and wide leaf veins sway in the wind, and its lush green color makes people feel indescribably at ease.
The potatoes planted by Yunshi have already bloomed with small purple flowers. Yun Zhao was reluctant to pull out one to check the effect. In fact, what would happen even if he saw it? It is better to wait until harvest time to see whether it is a surprise or a shock.
As for sweet potatoes, they have been planted all over the world. As long as there are free fields near Yunshi Zhuangzi, farmers have planted them.
The peppers have grown their first green stalks, and the tomatoes have bloomed and produced green fruits.
This time, Yun Zhao couldn't wait for the peppers to turn red, so he was satisfied with a plate of fried pork with peppers.
This thing goes well with white rice or noodles. Even breaking off a piece of white noodle pot helmet and eating it between them is also good.
Only it cannot be paired with millet rice... Unfortunately, Yun Zhao can only eat millet rice now.
There are always some discordant sounds in happy days.
For example, Gao Jie! !
After more than half a year in Yun’s family, she has already fallen in love with Yun Hu’s daughter and Yun Zhao’s eldest sister. Yun Zhao does not understand at all that a woman who lives in a boudoir and does not even leave the inner door of the house on weekdays , why did you fall in love with the head servant of the Yun family!
Yunniang sat on the bed and embroidered expressionlessly. Yunzhao sat on the chair and looked at his sister, who lowered his head and rubbed his handkerchief but showed no intention of retreating.
Qian Duoduo leaned on the window excitedly and looked in. As for Qian Shaoshao, he hid far away.
"It's not too messy!"
Yunniang raised her head to look at her son, then lowered her head and continued to embroider.
"Does Uncle Tiger know?"
Yun Zhao asked calmly.
"Your Uncle Tiger already knows and is very satisfied!"
Yun Niang laughed out loud.
"This son-in-law is what Uncle Hu likes, right?"
Qian Duoduo laughed so hard that he could hardly breathe, pointed at Yun Xiu and said: "Xiuxiu's father often Call Xiuxiu out."
Yun Zhao looked at Yunxiu's shriveled figure and turned to his mother: "You are too young, give it to you for two more years."
Yun Niang said. : "You are fourteen years old, you are too young, be careful to make a hatred!"
Yunxiu is a boring gourd, especially in front of Yun Zhao. She is obviously her sister, but she is a little afraid of Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao said a little irritably: "From now on, the Yun family's daughter will be raised to at least eighteen years old. Sixteen is too young."
Yun Niang bit off the silk thread and stretched out Long Neck looked at his son in confusion and said, "Whose daughter has raised her to be eighteen years old? She has already taken care of her." Yun Zhao looked at Yun Xiu and said, "Think clearly, it is possible to get married in the past two years. It's a shame!"
Yunxiu said shyly: "It's all up to my father and brother."
Yun Zhao exclaimed: "You actually have a crush on that guy Gao Jie?"
Yunxiu showed rare courage at this time and said to Yun Zhao: "Father said it is very good..."
Yun Zhao said angrily: "Uncle Hu also said yesterday He likes women with long faces. This morning, a round-faced woman ran out of his house!
Do you believe what he said?
Listen to my brother? Let’s live a happy life as a daughter at home for a few years until she turns eighteen!”
Yunxiu was at a loss, but Yunzhao got up and left to find Yunhu, the idiot.
When I found Yun Hu, this guy was drinking with Gao Jie. It seemed that he had been drinking for some time. Yun Hu was drunk, hugging Gao Jie and kept calling him brother.
Gao Jie was not drunk at all, and responded to Yun Hu with a smile. Although he rarely spoke, every word he said tickled Yun Hu, making Yun Hu's boastful words even more exaggerated.
When Yun Zhao's head appeared in the window, Gao Jie was the first to notice those big black eyes. In an instant, he became very drunk...
Gao Jie After being drunk, Yunhu had no one to praise him, so he lay down on the kang and snored loudly in an instant.
Gao Jie lay down for a while, and seeing Yun Zhao's eyes still looking at him, he got up from the kang. After settling Yun Hu, he came outside the door.
"Are you planning to rely on women for your whole life?"
Yun Zhao asked directly.
Gao Jie cupped his fists and saluted: "No!"
Yun Zhao said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you marry my sister, as long as you agree with me, it doesn't matter. The problem is, my sister is good If you can't get divorced, you should think clearly about this. The reputation of the Yun family cannot be tarnished!
After you marry my sister, as long as we love each other and grow old together, I will treat you as the Yun family myself!
What if... I would punish the betrayed family far more than the rest of the betrayed family.
I will give you three days to think about it. If you still insist on marrying my sister, you can get engaged first and arrange your marriage in two years.
If you regret it, bring it up within these three days and I will treat it as if it never happened.
Gao Jie immediately said: "I want to marry Miss Xiuxiu!" For no other reason than I wanted to marry Miss Xiuxiu because I envied the Yun family's love for each other. ”
Yun Zhao smiled and stood on tiptoes. Gao Jie deliberately lowered himself to let Yun Zhao pat his shoulder. Then, the two of them laughed tacitly, and Yun Zhao returned to the inner house. .
