Chapter 563

When they arrived in southern Xinjiang, the children found what they wanted to do. Except for the small troupe, the other children all performed their duties and were obedient. Yan Shengrui and Ling Jingxuan were also happy. On this day, Yan Xiaobei, who came back from the yamen, brought an invitation to invite them to visit. It is said that all the leaders of the four families would go, and Yan Xiaobei could not decide Idea. I haven't answered the other party yet.

"The fan family has nothing to do with us? Don't they want to be first birds

Twirling the beautifully made invitation card, Ling Jingxuan leaves with a lack of interest. The only thing the fan family knows about him is the married fan Changle. Why should he give them face? "Back to him."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was not interested, Yan Shengrui directly refused. But Yan Xiaobei looked at them carefully and said tentatively: "I heard that the fan family asked all the great families to get together on the surface. In fact, master fan wanted to choose his eldest son and second daughter. Those who could marry with the Fan family must be famous families in southern Xinjiang, or four families directly. Father didn't want to To see who has the honor? "

As long as it is related to the four families, my father should be interested in it?

"I don't want to, unless you want to marry the second daughter of the fan family to be the princess, but the second daughter's character is not good. I don't care what kind of people you like and whether their reputation is good, but at least they should be able to live up to the standard. Don't make our family fly and dog jump."

Ling Jingxuan is still lazily joking with his son. Taking advantage of the fact that the Kang family is still in the preparation stage, he is thinking about how to thoroughly improve Southern Xinjiang. How can he spare no time to care who marries whom?

"Dad, don't be kidding. I don't want to marry anyone."

Yan Xiaobei is thin skinned and embarrassed to let him say decisively. Ling Jingxuan is more and more interested and mutters: "you are saying this now. When you are old, you may not be too anxious."

"I won't!"

Well, Yan Xiaobei makes his father's face red. Ling Wen and others beside him can't help but cover their mouths and smile. Yan Shengrui has no choice but to look at his daughter-in-law. He can only give his eldest son a look of mourning. If someone bullies him, he can help him. If he becomes a daughter-in-law, he can't help him.

"Well, no more teasing. Let's have a look at this."

Afraid that his son would be angry with himself, Ling Jingxuan decisively took out a piece of rolled rice paper from the drawer of the table and spread it on the table top. His father and son's attention turned in succession. He saw a lot of houses, fields and mountains on the rice paper. Ling Jingxuan pointed to the houses and said, "these houses represent the four cities in southern Xinjiang, and the fields can be planted I don't need to explain any more about the remaining high mountains. I drew them based on the actual survey I made some time ago and sent someone to check out the city recently. It is easy to see from the picture that the area of the four cities in southern Xinjiang is very small, less than one tenth of the whole southern Xinjiang area, and less than one tenth of the arable land. The rest are mountains of different sizes, surrounded by mountains on three sides and backed by mountains Then they rely on the sea. Besides relying on mountains and mountains, people have no other source of income. Coupled with underdeveloped transportation, they are indirectly blocked. For example, people like the Kang family take advantage of the situation to monopolize the purchase and supply of mountain goods and other resources. To break the monopoly and ruling position of the four families, I think the most important thing to do is not to defeat the four families, but to lead the people to become rich first, Let more businessmen come in, and let people in southern Xinjiang try to go out "

when Southern Xinjiang has more and more contact with the outside world, they will naturally see through the hypocrisy of the four big families. Once there is no support from the people, they are just a family with a little more money. It is easy to overthrow them.

"I understand what Dad said, but how can we make people rich? If we want to make trade between China and the outside world, we have to build the official way first, but there is little money in the Yamen. Do you want to ask brother seven to allocate funds from the national treasury? "

After sweeping up the previous embarrassment, Yan Xiaobei said with a heavy voice that this road is not an ordinary road. From Nanzhou to Shanyang City, it takes a whole day for a fast horse, and it takes about three days for the carriage to be repaired. I'm afraid it's very difficult to repair it without a million Liang silver. Although the Treasury is not without money, it's hard to allocate millions of Liang silver just to build a road for Southern Xinjiang Yes.

"We can't get the money out of the Treasury. Why don't we find a way to extract some from the four families?"

When it comes to money, Ling Wen was the first one to put forward his own opinions. They all learned arithmetic from Ling Jingxuan when they were young. They probably knew how much it would cost to build a road. Why should the four big families get rich and have to pay from the Treasury to build roads? Brother Yan's money is not strong wind, no, he can't let Yan brother's hard to fill the Treasury again empty.

"Ha ha Why do you think I moved Kang family first? Don't worry about money. We don't have it. Hasn't Kang family? The richer they are now, the richer we will be in the future. "

Ling Jingxuan smiles and blinks with his men and sons. He has planned for a long time. It must be unrealistic to urge the four families to detain taxes all the year round. The Kang family is the richest. After breaking them down, can we have the best of both worlds by using their money to develop southern Xinjiang? As for other people, if they bump into his hands, their property will be filled into the national treasury. Many southern prefectures have suffered serious disasters this year, so let's assume that they are doing something for the people in the end."I see. My father is so thoughtful. I arranged the road construction first? The road will be built earlier and the road will be built earlier, won't it? "

Yan Xiaobei suddenly, can't help but give him a thumbs up. His father is worthy of being his father. They just took one step. He has already thought of the countless steps in the future. It's no wonder that he will arrange for the Kang family so soon.

"Well, by the way, inform the magistrate of Nanzhou and let them start to build roads from the periphery to Nanjiang. The construction on both sides will be started at the same time. The speed will be faster. The money over there will be advanced by the Nanzhou yamen, that is, your father said. When our money is paid, we will return it to them. There is no need to hire any workers, just ask two professional masters, and the rest will be stationed in The army in Nanzhou has no war in the South all year round. They are supposed to have a lot of leisure. They just move their muscles and bones. The specification of the road is better than that of the ordinary official road. It should be widened by about one time. In the future, southern Xinjiang will become an important production base. If the road is well built, it will be easy to turn over. Of course, the same is true for us. All roads are built by soldiers. They are soldiers in wartime, In their spare time, they should do more for the common people, and they can also save us a lot of money. "

Ling Jingxuan can be said that everything has been calculated. Poor little buns, who just went to the military camp soon, will become a road repair worker in two days. Don't be a road repair General in the future. He is really sure that this is not his son?

"That's a good idea, father Wang. You should learn more from your father. The money you save is the military expenses. You have to save a lot of money for brother Yan."

as long as it is a business without money, Ling Wen certainly supports it. No, he also teaches his father that he has no way to deal with it. Who let the military expenditure be one of the biggest expenses of the national treasury, and he has not entered the dynasty If Yan Shengrui wants to declare his military expenditure, he has to go through his son's test first?

"Of course you feel good without spending money."

I haven't seen such a pit father. Yan Shengrui looks at him angrily. The big baozi thief laughs and spits out his tongue. It's good to be "ha ha In fact, it's not only about road construction, like soldiers hoarding all over the country. I think they can be self-sufficient in all kinds of food and vegetables after training. Doing farm work is also a kind of physical training, which is not inferior to the whole day's training. It can also reduce the burden of the Treasury. It's just that at the beginning, it may make people laugh. After all, soldiers are not farmers, so it's true to let them farm It's just too much for them. "

Ling Jingxuan smiles. In fact, most of the armed forces in the 21st century have their own farms, and few of them are purchased from other countries. However, the ancients were more face-saving, and the soldiers had military integrity, so he didn't suggest to Yan Shengrui. If he didn't come here today, he would not say that the Treasury is not very short of money. Should the army reform and be self-sufficient Foot is not so important, although he personally felt that in the long run, hoarded soldiers are undoubtedly a good national policy to open up wasteland.

"I'll think about it."

Since it is said by his daughter-in-law, Yan Shengrui will naturally pay attention to it. As for the problem of face, what face should he care about when he is not full? The money of the National Treasury is not windy. If we can save it, we should save it.

"Well, let's get back to the point and the road building is settled. The next step is to increase the income of the people and improve their living conditions. I think we can start from three aspects. First, the existing land and paddy field have increased income. At present, Qingguo has done a good job, but it has not been spread to southern Xinjiang. Xiaowen, Changsheng and Dashan are not you I always want to be an official. I leave it to you. You are responsible for going to the cities and towns to teach them how to increase production and income, how to raise fish in paddy fields, and how to plant rice for two or three seasons. In the field, I advocate farmers to plant potatoes in large quantities. The potato yield is high and can be stored for a long time. Xinyuan is responsible for the problem of sales You can assure the farmers that in order to win their trust, the government will provide potato seeds in the first quarter. Each household can apply for more than 30 kg of potato seeds. However, it must be verified that some people fish in troubled waters and tell them that this is not free. When the potato harvest season comes, how many varieties each household receives will be deducted from the planting money after the taxes that should be paid. "

There are not many fields that must be used rationally. As it is now, farmers are very sad to have a good life.

"Well, Dad, tomorrow Changsheng Dashan and I will take people to the countryside separately."

Ling Wen nods cautiously. It is rare that his father trusts him and is willing to assign him a job. He must do a good job. Zhou Changsheng and long Dashan share the same ideas with him. They both aim to become officials. It is also a good thing to contact them early.

"I remember that everyone brought two shadow guards and thunder team members, and then a medical boy. Most of the people in southern Xinjiang outside the city are extremely xenophobic. You can go to the local yamen first, and the Yamen will come out to find the mayor, Lizheng. This may be more convenient. People's hearts are made of meat. As long as the people know that you are really for their good, they will appreciate it."

Just as he didn't want small steamed buns to go to the army, Ling Jingxuan didn't want big buns to go into the government. However, this is the dream of his sons, and he can only help them as much as he can. The reason why he sent them this time is to let them know the people first. An official who doesn't know what the common people want is doomed to be not a good official. Since he has done it, he will I hope they can do their best, at least not to live up to their years of persistence, but he will not ignore the safety measures that should be taken."Well, Dad, don't worry about it. We will try our best."

Big steamed bun carefully patted his chest to guarantee that Zhou Changsheng, standing behind him, was also firm. As for tiewazi, he was obsessed with teaching his two younger brothers to read, so he was not interested in joining them.
