After I was reborn, I became a plug-in for the country

Shi Wenhui inherited the tradition of the Shi family. He is low-key but has outstanding ability. After receiving the official document from the court, he arranged it very quickly.By the end of February, almost half of the rural population in the entire province of Henan had devoted themselves to the campaign of land reclamation.

The people are naturally happy.This time, unlike before, you have to rent land from wealthy businessmen or the government. After opening up wasteland, the land belongs to you completely, and you only need to pay [-]% of the income.

In addition, the government sent people everywhere to preach how to open up wasteland and how to cultivate and fertilize for political achievements.Regardless of the reputation of the government, the people who have just experienced a drought have to work hard to fill their stomachs.

Thanks to the concerted efforts of the competent government and the people who are willing to endure hardships, this piece of land in the Central Plains, which has witnessed thousands of years of war, has been weather-beaten and has been reborn repeatedly, and it will soon be full of vitality again.

If there are really gods in the sky, standing on the clouds and looking down, you can really see a scene of labor in full swing.

Of course, the private transactions of Xintian that the imperial court was worried about did happen occasionally, but before the local officials had time to report, they were already verified by the government and punished.

After all, everyone knows that whoever has an accident now is the chicken who is "killed to scare the monkey".

No one wants to be a chicken in his early years, so it is natural to take strict precautions and punish the guilty in time.

By the end of March, according to Shi Wenhui's report, the number of new fields that had been reclaimed was about 700 million mu.

This letter was also rushed, and it only took one day to spread it from Henan to the capital.

When Kangxi received the booklet, the morning court had not yet left.What was discussed in the early court today was reported by the governor of Fujian, Yao Qisheng, who observed that the Zheng family was gathering troops for training.

Sooner or later, the imperial court and the Ryukyu battle will be fought, and this incident naturally caused a great deal of publicity.The ministers once again quarreled over whether to send troops to attack and take Ryukyu in one fell swoop, or to wait for the opportunity and wait for the soldiers dispatched to become familiar with the water before making plans.

But this time, in the end, the main fighters are still in the majority.Because the form on the Ryukyu side is much clearer than last year's.

Kangxi also understood that if he didn't fight now, it was just because the court had no money, so not long ago, Shi Lang, a general who was recommended by Li Guangdi last year, was ordered by him to be the admiral of the Fujian Navy.

With Yao Qisheng and Shi Lang as two generals, if there is a sum of military expenses now, he will definitely order Yao Qisheng to lead troops into Ryukyu immediately.

There is no other problem now, but the problem of money.

But soon, the solution to this problem was handed over to him.He received a report from Shi Wenhui about reclamation of wasteland in Henan province.

There were some papers that had to be reported temporarily in the early court. Kangxi took it from Liang Jiugong, opened the papers for a quick look, and was immediately shocked: "There are so many!"

The number of new fields is more than the number of good fields originally reported.

Hearing the voice from above, the officials who were still arguing were instantly quiet.Mingzhu standing in front smiled and said, "Seeing that the emperor is so pleasantly surprised, it must be that the matter of Henan Huangtian has come to fruition?"

Kangxi read the papers over and over again, and after thinking more about the existing manpower in Henan, he said, "It's Shi Wenhui's papers, saying that more than [-] million acres of barren land have been developed in Henan Province. He is still in the papers." Assure me, if the conditions can be relaxed, more wasteland will definitely be reclaimed in the future."

"This time, the emperor will make a great contribution to Mr. Shi." Tong Guowei joked.

The ministers who had stared at each other just now also followed suit.Mingzhu lowered her eyebrows and calculated that with this achievement, it seems that after this year, Shi Wenhui will be transferred back to Beijing.

"Will Ama Khan accept his invitation?" Yinfeng asked curiously.

He got close, turned his body slightly, and saw what a big number was written on the booklet.After reading this number, Yinreng hoped that he, Khan Ama, would let go of his mouth sooner and order to spread the news of land reclamation to the whole country.

At the same time, the system began to calculate: "With 700 million mu of land, according to the current growth rate, one mu of land can harvest about 700 catties of sweet potatoes, which is about four stones. Seven million mu is 800 million stones. One stone of rice is now about For a thousand cash, sweet potatoes are definitely not as expensive as rice, and based on half the price, these sweet potatoes can probably be exchanged for 400 million taels of silver."

"So many!" This time it was Yinreng's turn to turn pale with shock.

He really didn't expect that so much money could be exchanged for just a province in Henan, just by recruiting people to open up wasteland.

"If the entire Qing Dynasty were to open up wasteland, I don't know how much money we can exchange..." Yinfeng muttered to himself.

Seeing him lose his mind with joy, the system smiled and said: "Naturally there are many of them, and I can guarantee that the amount of barren land that can be opened up in Henan will be at least twice as much as it is now. But don't forget, Your Highness, this is Henan. Because of the many plain areas. It is much more difficult to open up wasteland in Sichuan and Guizhou than in Henan."

"It's worth driving half of Henan!" Yinfeng clenched his fists excitedly.

400 million taels, even if only 420% is handed over to the imperial court, there are still [-] million taels.This is just a province, and it's just land reclamation under the background of many restrictions.

What if we let go of all of them?

"I have to think about this matter again." Kangxi rubbed his fingers over the numbers on the booklet, his brain, which must have eight cores, was running at high speed.

The system calculated it silently just now, and the numbers are not too bad, and the numbers are not too small.

Moreover, most of the land reclamation people this time must have agricultural registrations. Considering that agricultural registrations account for [-]% of the total population, there are still many laborers who did not participate.If the forced labor on the craftsmen can be removed, and they are allowed to farm freely, perhaps a lot more fertile land can be obtained.

In addition, the method of collecting taxes on the newly opened wasteland land area also proves that Ding Yin's reform is imminent.

If the taxation method of the entire provincial government can be changed from Dingyin to land-based calculation, it is conceivable that the imperial court will get a lot of tax money.

But this has to be done gradually.

He sat on the dragon chair and thought, when this method of land reclamation and tax collection was popularized to all areas under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, the "Ding Yin" would have to be changed if not changed.And in this way, the resistance will be much smaller.

Kangxi glanced at Yinfeng who was standing beside him, it was a good idea from this kid, now only in June, when the grain grown in this opened land is ripe, it can be sold for a large amount of military expenses.

At that time, Ryukyu will be at your fingertips!

The discussion of the following ministers continues.However, the direction of discussion has shifted from the Ryukyu issue to the reclamation of barren land.

Some officials with flexible minds began to make small calculations in their hearts.

The emperor said a long time ago that this land reclamation will definitely be pushed to other provinces in the future, it is better to give the family's servants a lease and order them to go back to their hometown and wait.In less than two years, this policy will be completely liberalized, and by that time the barren land reclaimed will not be counted in my own hands.

Of course, this body deed was not really returned to them, it was just a secret operation to temporarily change the slave status to a good family.

The active-minded man looked left and right, looked at his colleagues around him, and secretly planned who to discuss this matter with.There must always be a partner, so I can feel at ease in my heart.

Kangxi finally made a decision, Yao Qisheng continued to observe, and could also take the opportunity to send a small force to harass the Ryukyu sideline, but not to attack aggressively.Just wait for the court to make detailed arrangements in July.

The major event has been finalized, and it is time to disperse early.

After the court was over, Dong Ezhen, the director of the Ministry of Industry, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, quietly stopped his colleague, the deputy director of the Ministry of Rites, who was about to leave: "Brother Chaha, it's still early, how about going to my mansion for a drink?"

The one who was stopped had a slightly astonished expression, thinking that this dude hadn't been so active in buying drinks before.Nothing to be courteous about, very...well worth hearing why.

So there was a smile on his face that he was sure to be in trouble with him, and he echoed: "I think the adults' house has already prepared good wine and waited."

"It's natural, natural..."

It's not easy to hook shoulders in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, but after leaving the palace gate, the two of them started plotting recklessly.

Let's put other things aside for now, and now let's continue with the matter of Yinreng helping his fourth brother to study.

After the dynasty was over, Yinreng did not go back to Yuqing Palace to continue his studies as usual, but followed Kangxi back to Qianqing Palace uninvited.

"What are you following me for? Have you finished reviewing today's book?" Kangxi looked at Yinfeng who seemed to be fixed beside him in surprise. When did this child follow him?

"I'm not doing it for myself." Yinfeng ran all the way just now, sweating profusely, panting slightly when he spoke: "It was entrusted by the third brother...for the fourth brother's business."

I also look like I am a very friendly and good brother.

"What's the matter? You just say it." Kangxi looked at his son disapprovingly, and then ordered Liang Jiugong: "Go and twist a handkerchief to wipe the prince's face."

He still kept talking about his son: "Don't be so impatient next time, what a shame."

Yinreng took the hot handkerchief from Liang Jiugong and wiped off the sweat on his cheeks, and said obediently: "I have written it down, I will never dare to run away like this again."

His head was so hot just now that he forgot to ask someone to pass it on.Running all the way from the Hall of Supreme Harmony to the Palace of Qianqing, I was really exhausted.

"Finally, what does the fourth brother ask you to help me with?"

"It's not a big deal. It's the fourth brother who wants to ask for an order and wants to study with the third brother. I think it's a good thing for the younger brothers to devote themselves to learning, so I have the cheek to ask you."

"Why didn't he say it himself?"

Yinrong was silent.He also has to see you. You don't even think about how many times you have been to the harem this month and how many times you have met Concubine Tong Gui.

Perhaps it was the father and son who had developed the skill of understanding each other. Kangxi instantly understood what his son wanted to say when he saw his son's silent expression.I've been busy recently, and it's been a long time since I've been to the harem.

After coughing dryly, he said, "Go and tell him, I agree. Since he asked for it himself, if he doesn't learn well by then, I will punish him."

Yinreng smiled happily, said yes, and hurried back to Yuqing Palace, asking someone to tell his fourth brother the good news.Right arm and right arm, at least one side is stable.

Before he stepped out of the Qianqing Palace, he was stopped back again.

Kangxi raised his eyebrows and looked at his son, jokingly said: "You are so considerate of your fourth brother, I don't know if you are so affectionate to the others."

They have a good relationship as brothers, and he is very happy.Which father doesn't want his children to have a close relationship.Especially in the royal family, he didn't dare to think about how much warning the "Xuanwu Gate Change" had given to later generations.

"My son, it's the same for the other younger brothers..." Yinreng turned around in embarrassment and scratched his forehead.

This really speaks of his pain. Recently, he is worried about how to see Lao Ba and Lao Jiu.

However, he quickly had an idea: "Since Khan Ama feels that I am alienated from my younger brothers, how about I host a banquet today and invite my younger brothers to Yuqing Palace?"

I can't see the mountain, let the mountain come to see me.It's just that, besides the old eighth, I have to see his elder brother's stinky face.

Kangxi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and then readily agreed: "Okay, but it's not too late."

"Yes, I have written it down." Yinfeng smiled brightly.

But when he really held a banquet and saw the eighth brother who he "missed" for a long time, he realized that he was wrong, a big mistake.
