Chapter 253 Development and Immigration
In April, Simpi, as a military general, went south to conquer Zhao Ci's tribe, and Zhou Shang also began to serve in Kuaiji County.

With the construction of wooden fences in the four new counties of Lishui, Yongkang, Xianju and Tiantai, the surrounding Yueren villages, and even many raw people, came to register.The "county magistrates" of the four counties are all "representatives" elected by the original village vote, and are restricted and assisted by the existence of the "village council".

What Li Ming did was to send a few small officials to help count the population and villages under his jurisdiction after the establishment of the county seat, and to compile and file them.At the same time, teach the 'county magistrates' of these four counties how to open fairs outside the city and how to manage them.

In each county, there are 50 bandit arresters stationed.To put it bluntly, it is not a 'guard', but management and maintenance of order.Most of the members are also from Yamakoe, so these mountain people don't object to this.

"Sunday is very forward-looking!" Xun Biao carefully studied the collected information, not only the population, but also the surrounding terrain and landforms. "The development of these four areas can add a lot of cultivated land!"

What does the family desire most?Of course it is land, especially cultivated land!Not to mention the Xun family, even other Jiangdong families who knew about this theoretically developed cultivated land showed great interest!

"There are many mountains in Kuaiji County, but there is not much arable land. No matter how much we cultivate, the arable land will never keep up with the needs..." Li Ming shook his head, then pointed to the map, "Wushang, Yongkang and Damo are not bad, especially Damo The last area, if developed, can provide a lot of arable land. I plan to turn this area into a key grain-producing area!

The three counties of Lishui, Yuntai, and Xianju, such a small amount of land, can be used as the land needed for subsequent county expansion. These three counties should focus on fruit tree cultivation, livestock breeding, and medicinal cultivation. We can count on their little land to grow Obtaining food is obviously not ideal, as long as there are a few cultivated lands, it is good. "

Li Ming said that he is really not optimistic about the agricultural situation in the four counties. He only said that in Lishui County and Xianju County, the forest coverage area is as high as 80% and 77%. In fact, very little.From Li Ming's point of view, this amount of arable land is not bad for maintaining local expenses, and there is no hope that it can be sold in other places.

"My plan is this!" Li Ming pointed to Xianju County, Tiantai County and Lishui County, "After the arable land in these three counties is divided, it will be temporarily used as the land directly under the county seat within 30 years. The villages are jointly managed. It is not allowed to sell within 30 years, and after 30 years, the Yue people who hold the household registration of the three counties are allowed to sell through public bidding."

"You can easily offend those aristocratic families like this!" Xun Biao reminded.

"Since the establishment of the four counties, I haven't handled a penny in their hands! If you don't come at the hardest time, you will come over like flies when dividing the meat. Do you think it makes sense morally? Besides..." Li Ming Pointing to Yongkang County, which of course also includes Damo County and Wushang County, "This area is the bait I threw out, at least the degree of development here is higher, and the area of ​​cultivated land is more!"

"Well, the locations of Xianju, Lishui and Tiantai are indeed a bit remote!" Xun Biao nodded, as long as Li Ming understands the stakes.

"It's also a kind of warning!" Li Ming sighed, "It doesn't help the government in any way, and even the aristocratic families that drag the government back, don't expect to get any benefits! The aristocratic family and the government should be in a relationship of mutual prosperity, but In fact, brother, you have also seen that most of the aristocratic families only need to develop themselves, and how the court has nothing to do with them!"

"It's not good for you to say such things directly, it will offend people!" Xun Biao shook his head.

"In the early stage, they will be subtle, they are not fools, and they will gradually know my intentions! Those who can keep up will share the meat together, and those who can't keep up will be eliminated by the times. In my opinion, a family whose interests are not linked to the government , is not trustworthy at all!"

Not only the Han Dynasty, but isn't this the case in all eras?The aristocratic family develops itself by poaching the corners of the government, and then whenever the court is overthrown, it will be replaced by a master to continue to serve. This is really a good plan!

Li Ming admits that he is not a student of the history department, so he cannot analyze the conflicting relationship between the aristocratic family, scholars and the country.He didn't even think that he had the ability to directly lead the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty into a new era.It would be nice to improve it!

Only then did Xun Biao know about Li Ming's ambition, and he even felt a little afraid of it.This is not a superficial thing like "the emperor takes turns doing it". Li Ming actually intends to change the pattern of the Chinese government and aristocratic families for hundreds of years!

"Don't be like Wang Mang, his intention is good, but it's out of date!" Xun Biao finally reminded.

"Well, I've done some research recently, and I'm planning to learn from history!" Li Ming smiled, and recently made up a little bit of history. The history before the Han Dynasty, I have a little admiration for Wang Mang. Could this guy also be a traveler from New China? Bar?

I feel a little disapproving of his reforms, as Xun Biao said, those reforms are 'out of date'.

"It's good that Riyao knows!" Xun Biao heaved a sigh of relief. Li Ming has gradually linked up with the Xun family. As the saying goes, "one prospers all, one loses all." .

"There are so many people going south?" When Zhou Shang entered Lujiang County, he found that there were many people moving towards the edge of the Yangtze River with their families.

"It has been confirmed recently that the so-called monsters are caused by parasitic insects in the stomach. Li Ming distributes a batch of insecticides for free every month, and many villages with problems have recovered. At the same time, Li Ming It also announced some personal hygiene standards, saying that according to this standard, diseases can be avoided to the greatest extent.

Now that life safety is no longer threatened and the Central Plains is becoming more and more chaotic, naturally more and more people are willing to migrate to the Jiangdong area.In just the past two months, hundreds of people have gone south from the area of ​​Shu County. Don’t underestimate the number. So many counties add up to a large number. As expected, there are at least 50 people who have gone south. I just don’t know them. Can it be placed. "Zhou Shang's elder brother Zhou Chongru said.

"If he can't solve this problem, then it's a waste of fame. It seems that someone is planning to make things difficult for him!" Little Zhou Yu suddenly said.

"Shangdi, maybe you are going to be troubled!" Zhou Yu could see it, how could Zhou Chong not see it.He couldn't help looking at Zhou Shang, thinking that his trip to Yuji County in the south was probably going to be implicated by Li Ming.

"It's all for the court, so what if my younger brother is a little bit tired?" Zhou Shang smiled, since he couldn't avoid it, why should he care about it.

How could Li Ming in Shanyin County fail to understand things that the Zhou family could understand. In just two months, people went south one after another. Hundreds, or even hundreds of people.

In Yuji County, Zhang Mo said that the population of people who intend to settle in Yuji County has reached the upper limit.Continued resettlement may affect the follow-up restoration work in Yuji County.

"What should I do?" Li Ming found Xi Zhicai and Jia Xu.

"It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, my lord, the key to breaking the game now is food!" Xi Zhicai cupped his hands and replied.
