I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Luo Shixing actually thought that the imperial court might be suspicious, so he directly gave the imperial court two suggestions, one is that he selects candidates through examination, and the other is that the imperial court directly sends capable officials over.

However, he also reminded the court that it is best for the person sent to be persistent but not too tough, be flexible in doing things, be patient and educate the people, and at the same time be physically strong, able to adapt to the climate of Jiaozhou so as not to die due to acclimatization .

I have to say that the conditions he listed are all normal, but the problem is that whoever has this ability will go to a county magistrate in a place where no shit?Those who can have this qualification are talents, and the imperial court is reluctant to throw talents to such a place for training.

So the matter is stuck here, let's send a mediocre person over there, for fear that the locals may not be able to deal with it, and those who are capable are reluctant.

Of course, some capable people who offend others may be sent there, but the problem is that generally such people have a bad temper. If they have a good temper, they will not offend others. People, it will not be able to make up three for a while.

All of a sudden, the Ministry of Officials was overwhelmed by several county magistrates. In the end, only one could be selected, so what should we do with the remaining two?

Princess Taiping rolled her eyes when she found out, and said, "Is the Tang Dynasty still afraid of Jiaozhou's disobedience? If Jiaozhou is really dishonest, it would be because the rebellion has been put down or someone can solve it when the court knows the news. What are you worried about? What's more, you don't know the identities of Luo Shixing's subordinates, do you? Can they still ignore the family?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials immediately said: "There were many such things in the Three Kingdoms period."

It is not uncommon for the children of a family to serve different lords.

Princess Taiping sneered and said: "If you have the ability, you can change someone else to be the governor of Jiaozhou. At first, you thought the governor of Jiaozhou was a hot potato. Why didn't you worry when you threw a child there to suffer? There is nothing in Jiaozhou now, not even arable land. All the seeds used need to be bought in Guangfu, but you should take precautions first, don't you want to be ashamed?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials blushed at what she said, and struggled to say: "He is still young, if he operates there for more than ten years, it is unknown what the situation will be."

Princess Taiping nodded: "Then you should send someone you feel safe to be the governor of Jiaozhou."

Minister of the Ministry of Officials: ...

Now that Jiaozhou City's walls have been destroyed on both sides, and the cultivated land is covered with weeds, it must be a deep hatred for this group of people to go there.

But thinking about it this way, Jiaozhou has become so rotten, it seems that there is really nothing to worry about. There are Guangzhou and Guizhou around Jiaozhou. These two places have heavy troops. If there is any change in Jiaozhou, these two places can send troops. Flatten over there.

What's more, no matter how powerful Luo Shixing is, he can establish a Zhechong Mansion that is stronger than Guangzhou and Guizhou in a short period of time?

This is basically impossible, so the Minister of the Ministry of Officials finally sighed and waved his hands: "That's fine."

Anyway, it can't be solved, and this kind of thing can't be bothered by the Queen Mother.

This is the main hesitation of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. He doesn't want to take this responsibility. Let him see that Luo Shixing is a bit of a monster. Anyway, he can't see through the other party, so he has a heart of defense.

If the Empress Dowager said yes, he would be relieved, but now that Princess Taiping has come forward, the Empress Dowager will know sooner or later, and if something is wrong, she will definitely give an order.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials let Luo Shixing figure it out without any burden.

Luo Shixing originally thought that the court had been entangled for so long, and he was ready to be the county magistrate by airborne, but he didn't expect to let him choose by himself in the end.

And after such a toss, the officials in Jiaozhou have basically been selected almost, the officials at the grassroots level have barely put up a shelf, and the planning of Jiaozhou City has also been completed.

Because of the war, the main road leading to the Governor's Mansion had been destroyed badly, Luo Shixing simply took this opportunity to widen the road, and built Lifang following the example of Chang'an.

Some of the blacksmith shops and shops for civilian use are in one place, and the east and west cities were set up as trading places. He didn't dare to set up a market directly in Beidai County, even for the convenience of transactions.

It's just that Jiaozhou City is also the capital of a state, and the population will increase after it slows down. This thing is still necessary.

Other plans have been completed, such as the power plant and the glass factory, but these two are basically put at the end. The first is to dig canals, the second is to reclaim wasteland, and then the city wall is repaired, and then the construction of the Fucheng Roads and various houses and the like.

Luo Shixing roughly estimated that it would not be complete for a few years, and he couldn't help sighing when he thought of living without electric lights for several years.

Seeing him like this, Cheng Jingwei took the army to the place he set and started building the power plant without saying a word.

Luo Shixing was stunned when he knew about it: "Is this not very good?"

Cheng Jingwei said: "What's wrong with this? Now everyone has something to do, but we have nothing to do. Instead of training every day, we should do something. Don't worry, they would rather build a factory than train."

Luo Shixing scratched his face and said: "This is also a problem, but the military factories are all in Beidai County, and I don't plan to relocate. Is the military expenditure enough now?"

Cheng Jingwei nodded: "There is no need to build more, the scale is about the same now, anyway, there shouldn't be much war in the short term."

Luo Shixing thought about it, and then Cheng Jingwei asked again: "Has the county magistrate selected a suitable person after the assessment?"

Luo Shixing nodded: "Almost, but I didn't plan to let them come up and become county magistrates. I will send them to various counties to act as acting county magistrates. I won't give them seals for the time being. Let's have a three-month observation period. If they do well, they will be appointed. If it’s not good, replace it.”

These students are very good in terms of knowledge, but in terms of vision... they must not be very good. After all, they have been in Beidai County and have never gone out to study.

But it is enough to be a county magistrate. They don't need a long-term vision. What they need is a down-to-earth person. If they are too ambitious, they will easily overturn.

Of course, being good at reading doesn't mean being good at doing things. Even though Luo Shixing's exam questions are all practical, he still worries that these people are not down-to-earth.

You must know that every rebellion in Jiaozhou started in the county seat. Those tribes really have rebellion in their heads, which makes people very worried.

Cheng Jingwei didn't think much of his decision. In the past three months, his main focus was on farming. This was the top priority, and he should be able to see a person's qualifications.

What he and Luo Shixing didn't expect was that the matter of land reclamation didn't cause any major problems in the counties, but it was the prefectural city that had difficulties.

After measuring and recording the land, Wang Sui came to him worriedly and said, "Now our contract responsibility system is a bit difficult to implement."

When Luo Shixing listened, he didn't care, but said: "It doesn't matter if it can't be done. The population has decreased so much, and there is no time to reclaim a lot of land. You can contract as much as you can. It doesn't matter if you contract less at the beginning. Later people There will be more."

Ordinary people have not read much, even if they have read books, sometimes they may not be able to understand the state government's policies, and it takes a period of time to see the effect.

Just let them see that the more they contract, the more they get, and they will be motivated.

Anyway, Luo Shixing's first fire has already been burned out of the three fires of the new official's appointment, which is tax cuts.

In fact, it is not considered a tax cut, because the tax in Beidai County is that amount, and in his opinion, this amount is more appropriate, at least the people in Beidai County do not feel that the tax is a burden.

As for the taxes in other places, after Luo Shixing received the situation reported by the county magistrates, he felt a little bad.

Even some taxes have been received 50 years later, is this not human?

In this case, whether it is rebellion or being a bandit is more understandable.

However, Luo Shixing can't really exempt them from taxes because they have paid taxes for 50 years. It can only say that all previous taxes have been written off and recalculated from today.

For these people who have been paying various high taxes, tax cuts are the most real, so everyone was very excited when they got the news.

The enthusiasm for farming has also increased a lot - this is what the county magistrates said. He is not very clear about the specific situation, so he plans to set up an inspection team later, let Wei Siwen take the lead, and go to various places to inspect from time to time. This inspection will not let those counties To know in advance.

What if you find out and start all kinds of coping, turning it into a face-saving project?

Of course, these are things for the future, and he doesn't think it's a big deal for Wang Sui to be worried now.

Wang Sui sighed and said, "If you want people to plant land, you must first be willing to contract it."

Luo Shixing looked up at him: "What? No one is contracting? Are they not used to it? Because Datang used to divide the land?"

Yes, the real national policy of Datang is actually land distribution, but the problem is that what is written in the national policy is not necessarily the same as what is actually implemented.

According to the national policy, how many acres are allocated to males and how many acres are allocated to females, in fact, they are quite a lot. Judging from the single-person labor force, it is impossible to cultivate that much land, so they are generally not given so much, but after collecting taxes Sometimes it is collected according to the data on paper.

This is also the reason why farmers' taxes are relatively high these days.

Although Luo Shixing and the others don't divide the land, they still need people to contract the land, but the problem is that you can plant as much as you can, and the tax is also collected according to the land property under the actual name, and their tax rate is low, no matter how you look at it. This is more appropriate.

But now he began to think whether the common people would not be able to accept it, and should he divide it into a part?Everyone is divided according to the top level of a single labor force. If you want more land, you can contract it again.

His thinking is faster, his brain diverges faster, and he has come up with many solutions.

However, before he could say anything, Wang Sui said, "It has nothing to do with contracting. No one wants to farm land at all. Everyone would rather go to work than farm land!"

Luo Shixing:? ? ? ?
