Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Chapter 125: Some people like the couple’s policies, while others are angry

Time flies so fast, and there are still seven days left to celebrate the New Year. Today is the day of the Little New Year. Many people don’t have much savings, but they still have to spend the New Year decently. As soon as we enter the twelfth lunar month, we start preparing things for the New Year.

For example, a peasant family located more than 800 miles away from the northwest used meat oil that they had saved for a long time, cut a few slices of bacon and fried a Chinese cabbage, as well as a plate of scrambled eggs with green onions. Plus two kinds of home-pickled pickles. Then make a meal of dumplings stuffed with radish oil and spinach.

The family sat around the table, looking at the oily stir-fried vegetables, the golden eggs, and the meaty dumplings, and felt that they were extremely delicious. The family spends a happy New Year together. I hope that the Kitchen God will go to heaven and speak more kind words, so that the family can live a prosperous life in their new home in the coming year and have enough to eat every day. This year is the last year that the family will spend in their hometown.

They were one of many families planning to move to the Northwest, and they were the epitome of those families.

Because of this, very difficult families want to move to the border. Houses and land were provided there, and the children could learn skills and attend the imperial examinations in the future.

this decision. It is already the result of repeated discussions among the family. Instead of struggling to guard the three acres of poor farmland at home, living a poor life with no clothes on the body and no food to eat. Might as well go out and earn a prosperous family fortune.

These families only became interested after hearing the propaganda made by the veterans who came back from the north. They were hesitant at first and couldn't believe it was true.

Soon I discovered that there was a notice posted by the government at the city gate. The content written is about the various benefits available to farmers who are willing to move to King Duanjing's fiefdom in the northwest. Now that this thing is true, farmers who have no development opportunities in their hometown are thinking about it.

Because it was just in time for the Chinese New Year, they all decided to spend the last reunion year in their hometowns, bid farewell to their hometown elders, and move their families to the west or the north. The government will give them official positions and guidance.

The reason why these yamen cooperated so well was because the imperial court issued an edict that if the population from various places moved to the northwest, the land left behind could be confiscated for each household that was moved. The local government sells it to local farmers. The money from selling the land is reserved for the daily expenses of the yamen. In addition, for each household that is relocated, the local government will be compensated with ten taels of silver.

For these poverty-stricken areas, the relocation of poor people will reduce the pressure on them. The remaining land and reward money can be used as private money in the treasury for the government's use. Of course the yamen officials are willing to cooperate with such a good thing.

This method was also thought up by Li Mohan. If you want to release people and promote population migration to the northwest, you must give some benefits to the Yamen in the original place.

Facts have proved that Li Mohan's idea is very feasible. Because the relocation is organized by the government, the number of people to be moved and the composition of each household will be registered in advance. Quickly deliver it to the six border states in advance. Let the local government make arrangements in advance.

Xiao Yunyan instructs the local government to recruit workers and build houses in advance.

New villages were built row after row. Single door and courtyard. Every village is particularly organized. Three house types are determined based on the population of each family. There are three types of courtyards: large, medium and small.

Xiao Yunyan requested that each standard courtyard should have six main rooms, three east and west wing rooms, and three reverse courtyards with green bricks and black tiles. There is a well in the yard. Only large families with at least sixteen people can live in such a large courtyard.

It is a medium-sized apartment with four main rooms, two east and west wing rooms and two side rooms each. It is a small courtyard. There is a well in the middle. Suitable for a medium-sized family of five to fifteen people.

There are also some small apartments, for families of four or less, or for singles, with only three main rooms and a small yard composed of a warehouse. The two families share a well.

All apartment types do not have vegetable gardens. Everyone’s vegetable gardens are on both sides of the village. It is also distributed based on population, with each person getting three thirds of vegetable land.

If you want to raise livestock and poultry. Just behind the main house, each house is equipped with a pig pen. Chicken coop, duck coop and cow shed.

Basic furniture and mattresses are all provided. It almost meets the check-in standard.

When the building standards were first set, everyone was surprised when Xiao Yunyan proposed this building standard. In particular, the masons and carpenters persuaded Xiao Yunyan that the standard was too high. In ordinary rural areas, it is equivalent to the home of a small landowner.

Xiao Yunyan explained her thoughts: "Since people have left their homes and careers to come to us, it is natural to give them the warmth of home. Although the standards of the new home are a bit high. It is because of this that more people will be attracted to come to us.

Without people, large tracts of land are deserted. Hundreds of industries are waiting to flourish, and prosperity cannot be achieved without the population and labor force as the basis. I'm not short of money, and since I'm doing something, I have to do it satisfactorily. "

But the local farmers are a little jealous. Although their house has been repaired, it is not as grand as the newly built courtyard house.

Xiao Yunyan did not disappoint them. The conditions given to them are that they can be exempted from taxes for three years, and they can apply to the Yamen to build a house. The master workers appointed by the government helped them build houses for free. Government subsidies are determined based on population, with each person receiving a subsidy of five taels of silver.

For example, if there are ten people in a family. Then when their family builds a house, they will subsidize fifty taels of material costs. The specifications are that of a standard medium-sized courtyard house. If there is not enough money, your family will be responsible for it.

In addition, if there are those who are widowed and lonely and want to build a house, the family size is too small and the subsidies are completely insufficient. You can only choose a small apartment with only three rooms in the main room.

Although local farmers did not receive completely free houses. The subsidy standards provided by the government can meet the needs of infrastructure construction.

The rest of the expenses are other expenses, such as building chicken coops, duck coops, pig pens and cowsheds in the yard, which require cutting wood and building them yourself. Furniture, sheets and bedding. You still need to take responsibility for yourself.

Many local people ask, why is there such a policy? The treatment given to outsiders is better than the treatment given to locals.

Xiao Yunyan explained: "When outsiders come to the local area, they always feel like they are living under someone else's roof. Therefore, in terms of treatment, it gives them a sense of superiority. They feel that the government and feudal lords attach great importance to them, which increases their sense of belonging and self-confidence. Heart.

In addition, when they first arrived here, they needed to buy many things by themselves. I don’t have much savings on hand either. Therefore, it is better for them to live in more straits and feel regret after coming here. It's better to make them feel particularly warm as soon as they arrive here.

With motivation, productive labor will have great enthusiasm. The tax revenue generated each year will also increase accordingly.

After all, there is a lot of wasteland on the border. Although each household can be allocated one acre of land per person. But as farmers, they will never be satisfied with such a small amount of land, and will naturally open up wasteland.

If they are sure, they put down roots here and never want to go anywhere else. Then their motivation to open up wasteland will increase.

Although the wasteland does not have to pay taxes for three years, after three years. You still need to pay taxes to the Yamen. For local. Still very beneficial.

Xiao Yunyan does not adopt absolute egalitarianism, but adopts strategies that are conducive to local development. His pattern is higher.

Some officials sneered at Xiao Yunyan's generosity. They believed that the princess’ investment would not be recouped even after ten years. This is wasting one's own money.

She was afraid that the money from Prince Duanjing's palace was not enough for Huo Huo, and the stall was too big. Who can have that kind of financial resources? Even with the money from the treasury, we can't do such a big thing.

People on the fiefdom were also talking about it. Even though he was getting rich cheaply, he still had various doubts about this princess in his heart. There are also various worries. Although the princess is very kind, what if she doesn't have enough money and steals from them?

People are always selfish and think of themselves first. The prince and the princess are so focused on delivering things to others. They are two idiots I have never seen before.

There were three other princes who saw the joke. In particular, the spies sent by the eldest prince and the second prince took a closer look at Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan's fiefdom policies. If you go back and report it to your master, you will make these two princes very happy.

Both the eldest and the second eldest believe that the future world belongs to them. No matter how hard the other brothers tried their best to build their own fiefdoms at this time. One day when I become emperor, I will take back the fiefdom.

Although Xiao Yunyan and Li Mohan stole all the gold, silver and jade they had accumulated for many years. If the couple keeps this huge wealth as their own private property. It makes them very taboo. That means whenever. The fourth prince and his wife are both the richest people. There are always people recruiting troops. His strength far exceeds that of other princes.

But now these two fools have invested so much wealth and even emptied their own property to build their fiefdom. Attracting poor people from the outside world into his fiefdom. Such an approach is undoubtedly self-destructive.

The money is used for infrastructure construction and is given to these poor people. One day in the future, when the four princes compete for the world, how can they have the strength to win the world if they don't have enough wealth?

Although my father has that intention, whoever builds the fiefdom well will be handed over to him in the future!

However, in the eyes of the eldest prince and the second prince, their father's words did not have much effect at all, because the huge power behind them was the guarantee that they would become the overlords of the world.

The eldest brother and the second child are very ambitious. They were simply not satisfied with a small Beichuan emperor. They want to rule the entire Central Continent, and even the farther Xiyuan Continent, Nanma Continent, and Donglan Continent. These three continents also want to be included in their territory of power. With this idea. They are happy to see the success, but they hope that other brothers will work hard to build their own fiefdoms.
