Heaven Civilization Salvation System

Chapter 78 Reform
Fang Zhe pointed to the plan on the table and said: "Since ancient times, success and defeat have required the power of heaven and earth. Now such a good opportunity is in front of my father, but I choose not to cherish it. Isn't it a waste? Are you willing to stay in this small black earth town for the rest of your life?"

With the experience of his previous life, Fang Zhe knew in his heart that his father Fang Yun had extremely lofty ambitions when he was young. Even when he was old, he was still very ambitious, but it was a pity that he did not have a good opportunity to display his skills.

Rather than procrastinating, it is better to take a strong medicine.

Fang Zhe said in a deafening way: "So, my lord, don't ignore the importance of money at any time. Our Fang family has many enemies. If you follow the imperial examination step by step as you said, it will be a dead end!"

Father Fang Yun's face changed, and he became extremely serious and serious. He re-examined the plan in front of him, and muttered words such as "recycling planting", "raising the bandits for self-respect", "the outside world" and "ambition" from time to time. , suddenly slapped the table, grabbed the plan, looked at Fang Zhe and said, "Zheer, is it really possible?"

"Whether it's feasible or not, you'll know if you try it."

"Then try it!"

……

In the next few years, Fang Zhe began to show his talent in farming in front of the entire Fang family, including Fang Yun.

According to the principle of increasing the production of cow dung, Zhou Ming set up a test field in the territorial manor to carry out the test of increasing the production of manure, and tripled the yield of barley per mu. In each of the subordinate villages, it has been fully implemented.

Then there is the improvement of agricultural tools, the installation of plow walls on heavy plows, the invention of ox yokes and sowing cogs, which greatly improved the utilization efficiency of oxen and the speed of farmers' sowing, and reduced their labor intensity and physical burden.

But even so, Fang Zhe found that the farmers who had relieved a lot of burdens did not have the desire to expand the planting area and increase food production~ and his father, Fang Yun, was afraid that these idle farmers would wander around with nothing to do, so he sent them to To build the fortifications of Heitu Town, and prepare to increase the height and thickness of the outer city wall of the whole town. After a few months, those farmers who finally gained some flesh were mostly skinny and ribbed. , accidentally stoned two of them to death.

Seeing that this is not going to work, the six-year-old Fang Zhe suggested to his father Fang Yun: "Dad, it is better not to let these farmers build the city wall. Otherwise, we will formulate a reward policy. If any farmer grows food well, one If the annual grain turned over to us can reach one ton, then he will be exempted from working three days a week. If it exceeds one ton, then one-fifth of the excess will be returned to the farmers, so that they will have the motivation to plant the land gone."

Fang Zhe's plan is a way to stimulate labor with incentives without changing the original tax system, so as to increase the enthusiasm of farmers for labor.

After all, under normal circumstances, an adult farmer can grow up to 800-1000 catties of grain in two seasons a year, and 400% of it will be handed over to the management of Heitu Town. Between 500 catties, so to complete the goal of 500 catties, it is enough to work harder.

Compared with being able to avoid the weekly labor of three days a week, it is really cost-effective to put in more effort to increase the variety of food.

"Can this work? Without the farmers to do weekly work, the large fields near Heitu Town will not be weighed, and this will also reduce a lot of income."

Fang Yun frowned, feeling that if such incentives were adopted, it would not only be harmful, but would make these farmers lazy.

To the people of this era, the Black Earth Town of the Fang family seems to be ruthlessly exploiting these farmers, but this is not the real Han Dynasty in history. Come and attack these people.

What's even more frightening is that in the nearby Qilian Mountains, swarms of bandits came out to squeeze these farmers. Fang Yun, including the rule of the Fang family, not only did not hate these low-level people, but was grateful to them.

The people of this era are extremely simple in thinking, as long as they live and work in peace and contentment, some people can eat a mouthful, a man asks a wife to go home to live, and a woman can marry a good family with peace of mind. Such a simple wish is often not realized.

"Father, let me do the math for you. Now that we have reclaimed land outside Heitu Town, the land that can supply farmers with planting is more than 2000 mu. In this case, the yield per mu is less than half of what the farmers themselves get on poor land elsewhere."

"Let's just lease all the land to the farmers. Even if they only get [-]%, it's more than all the land they took before... Believe me, those farmers will work hard to plant the land in order to avoid weekly labor. .”

The farming experience from his previous life allowed Fang Zhe to understand the characters of those farmers.

"However, if the weekly work is cancelled, what should we do if we still have to ask those farmers to work in the future? In Black Earth Town, there is more than that in the fields. In the future, we will need these farmers to build roads, bridges and castles."

"Then let the farmers come to work in the name of gratitude workers. It's just a different name. In the name of gratitude, invite them to eat some delicious and delicate meals. The big deal is to kill the cow and share the meat with each other." Eat, will they not come to work?"

Fang Zhe feels that Fang Yun doesn't know how to be flexible at all. In fact, this is also normal. This era is no longer like the Qin Dynasty, when a hundred flowers bloomed and a hundred schools of thought contended.

As early as the Qin Dynasty, there was a school of political strategists that was responsible for doing business. When it was passed to the Han Dynasty, even Confucianism and Taoism were in jeopardy, and they were replaced by the official system to a greater extent.

If you are not in charge, you don't know how much firewood, rice, oil and salt are. After all, Fang Yun has only been the mayor of Heitu Town for a few years. He is still a layman when it comes to people's livelihood and management. What he can learn from is only a little bit left in the history books. How can something in history be the essence of a strategist among the schools of thought.

Strategist is an academic school founded by Gui Guzi, a holy man.During the Warring States period, the school was mainly engaged in political and diplomatic activities, and it was listed as one of the "Nine Streams and Ten Schools" in "Hanshu·Yiwenzhi".During the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, "straightforwarders" refers to a unique group of advisers, who can be called the earliest and most special diplomatic statesmen in China's 5000 years.They are in the Qin Dynasty, and they are uncertain and capricious, and their plans are mostly based on subjective political requirements.

"Fang Zhe, you are really a blessing to my Fang family."

Fang Yun looked at Fang Zhe in a daze for a while, and it took him a long time to hold back such a sentence.
