Cement roads have begun to be laid in remote areas, and new tax policy reforms are also in full swing.

At the same time, planning for farming and planting is also undergoing rectification.

"In view of the fact that the planting of grain and other crops has been carried out without planning for a long time, the imperial court specially ordered county magistrates to make statistics on the planting scale of different local grain crops. The county magistrates visited various places on the spot and combined with the number of crops planted in other counties , to provide guidance for local crop planting, to prevent farmers from blindly following the trend of planting a certain crop alone, and to prevent certain food shortages from being speculated at high prices, so this task is specially assigned."

County magistrates in various regions received this order one after another. They all felt that the content of this order was very novel, and they also felt a little helpless and headache.

What these farmers want to plant is beyond their control. What's more, they have to guide them in planting. They really don't know as much as those farmers about this kind of planting, and they are not qualified to dictate.

Besides, most individual peasant families almost live a self-sufficient life where men farm and women weave. All their food is picked from their own fields, and they eat it first. They do not rely on food to make money. Therefore, they must not interfere with the planting of these small farmers, otherwise society would be in chaos.

"If you think about it carefully, even if you want to guide farmers in planting, you should focus on rich households or landlords with large acres of fields. As far as he knows, those rich peasant landlords have a lot of food, so much that they can't eat it at all. It’s over, so we can only let the extra crops circulate. This is good, and it suddenly reduces the jurisdiction of planting planning.”

The bright-minded county magistrate quickly thought things through and then focused on the key groups of people.

"There are only a few wealthy landowners in each region. Just ask them what crops they plan to plant next year and how much of these crops they will plant. Once their opinions are collected, we can discuss them with other county magistrates. Let's take a breath and see if there is any collision with crops planted in large areas. If there is no collision, then everyone will be happy. If there is a collision, then they will inevitably have to make a compromise."

No matter what industry you are in, there are always leaders who are extremely efficient in getting things done.

The county magistrate who gave priority to completing the statistics made statistics and estimates of the planting output of various grains planned to be planted next year in his jurisdiction, as well as the output of fruits and other crops per mu, and then drafted an envelope for each county magistrate, and then I quickly sent them to various county magistrates.

Other county magistrates followed suit. They also counted the local planting intentions for next year, and after completing the statistics, they also sent envelopes to other county magistrates.

In this way, each county magistrate took the envelopes and compared the information, looking at the expected production of grain, fruits, etc. next year. After this observation, as expected, we found that there are indeed conflicts in crop planting yields in several areas. It seems that the planning statistics of crop planting are indeed useful.

In order to plan planting reasonably, these conflicting county magistrates conducted on-site visits to wealthy farmers who had planting conflicts. In modern terms, they did ideological work for them.

In the end, it’s just a matter of who is soft-tempered and who compromises first. Of course, if both sides are unwilling to advance, then they can only be forced to take a step back.
