Chapter 486 The South (Part 2)

So Song Jiu didn't want to touch it.

This is why Song Jiu summoned the merchants after watching it for more than a month.

Everyone, donate.

Not much donation was started, and Song Jiu took these donations to build a land area. But after doing a few things, the first thing was to write down these donations and post them under the wall next to the gates of the county government offices to transparently understand its purpose.

But I have to thank Miss Guo Meimei, otherwise Song Jiu would not remember the benefits of this transparent purpose, so it might become a bad policy.

And it is concentrated on the cost. For example, the charity money used by Zhang and Li. Others try not to use it. When the cost is concentrated, Zhang and Li spontaneously investigate the cost of the funds to play a supervisory role.

Then I brought Zhang and Li to this place and introduced you to everyone, you should thank them. Without them, there would be no such circumference.

Of course, this is also thanks to some later generations for their doubts about Lei Feng. The spirit of getting money and the spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name is certainly admirable, but how many people can do it?

Human nature is complex, with a good side and a bad side.

If people do not do anything, the punishment of heaven and earth lies in the main body, and the loss of money is just a function of taking away money.

What is the purpose of promoting things that cannot be learned?

However, although Brother Biao is suspected of hype, and although he gains fame and other benefits, he can promote it. If there are benefits, many people will learn spontaneously. Although he has selfish intentions to do good things, he will eventually do good things one by one.

And it immediately has an immediate effect.

Seeing the thanks from the people, more and more people donated.

This money is not only used to build surrounds, but also to lend money to poor people, allowing them to buy cattle and farm tools. It is divided into ten years of repayment, with no interest.

Every year in late September, a special person is sent to collect it, and then the money that has been raised will continue to rescue other poor people, but no one urges them to pay. They are not afraid of not paying, and they all wrote their names and hometowns. Hello, there are countless poor people. If they don’t pay them well, what will the villagers in the country think of you?

This is about taking advantage of human nature.

Of course, there will be a few people who encounter great difficulties. Even those who are forced to become refugees have become refugees and leave their wells and return home. What else can they give? This is a good deed, not a profit.

This is the first thing.

Secondly, some grass markets were built, and many eaves were covered with shelters that were sheltered from the wind and rain. The grass market was constantly stormy and developed business through use.

Then we will build schools and encourage the rich to establish the charity school and build the road.

Moreover, there may be a few years, and Song Jiu is not in a hurry. If he is not in a hurry, there will be no big move. The first year is small, but in the second year, Suzhou's various incomes increased, including taxation. Song Jiu withheld the increased tax and continued to use it for development. However, there is not a shortage of taxes that should be paid.

Therefore, the second year has caused a lot of noise.

It was the third year that Zhao Kuangyi paid attention to Song Jiushi, and the actual time was two years and two months.

This year is even more disturbing.

Chen Shu was scolded by Zhao Kuangyi and notified Song Jiu that your taxes in Suzhou would increase, so you should hand over more to the court.

Song Jiu replied to a letter, "Do you kill chickens to get eggs? Or do you hatch eggs and raise chickens to make more eggs? The people have been happy for three years. I don't have the ability to give birth to children. You must give me four or five years, so that all the taxes can be handed over to the court."

Chen Shu was helpless.

However, four or five years may not necessarily turn Suzhou into a paradise, but it will cause huge changes.

In fact, Suzhou has seen a change since the second half of this year. Some foreign people came to Suzhou after seeing this change.

Until this year, Song Jiu no longer needs to turn on any mode.

What I did before is something that everyone can learn from. If everyone imitates it like this, it is like learning to write poetry and learn Lao Du’s poems. Just learn one by one, and one by one, and one by one, and one by one can be easily managed.

Thanks to the honor of Master's culture for thousands of years and the rulers' policy of fooling the people, Lu Xun once said that the Chinese have always been obedient and endured humiliation. As long as they have food to eat, they will not starve to death, they will not resist. Only when even slaves cannot be defeated will they resist.

The reason why there are problems in various places is that officials have done too much! Even slaves cannot do it! It has become a dark neighbor of Bashu where Wang Xiaobo revolts.

This is very bad...

Although the "troubled people" are difficult to manage, they also force the rulers to rule carefully. Otherwise, they will be forced to a certain extent and the dynasty will be overthrown. Compared with the internal governance of the Ming Dynasty, the internal governance of the Song Dynasty was obviously better. However, the Ming Dynasty was also good, at least the Ming Dynasty would not cultivate many slaves.

However, Li Zicheng's uprising was gone.

Or if the people of Bashu revolt again and again, although Song Jiu's current status is somewhat disliked, it will force the court to pay more and more attention. Even if they are not good officials, they will not be able to serve as the governor of Yizhou.

But Song Jiu dared not say this, so he had to do it.

The same is true in Suzhou. You don’t give orders, talk to everyone, and then do things in a silence.

It seems to be a kind of governance by inaction.

It was not until this year that Song Jiu's movements became big.

I immediately took out hundreds of thousands of dollars with several uncles of the Pan family and spent it on.

A terrible blow.

This money is still used as an interest-free loan. With this money, all the people have land and countless circumferences have been reclaimed. No matter what, the number of households in Suzhou has not yet reached its peak. Every household has plowing oxen and farm tools.

However, thanks to Zhao Kuangyin, the cattle tax was abolished in his hands. No matter how many large animals such as cattle, horse, donkey and mule were kept, they were not included in the statistics of the two households. Therefore, the number of cattle is gradually increasing.

Then, advanced textile machinery from the north were introduced, and some excellent weavers were invited to teach the people's textile skills.

In later generations, Suzhou embroidery may be famous all over the world, and Songjiang cotton industry may have created the richest areas in the Ming Dynasty. However, the most developed areas in the textile industry and technology are not in Jiangnan, but in Hebei and Shandong, followed by Chengdu. The technology in Jiangnan is even worse than that of Liman in Hainan.

In addition, the government will hold the annual weaving competition, and the top ten government meetings will be rewarded.

Just in the end of the past two years, we have gradually made a good deal. If we invest so much money at once, a qualitative change will occur immediately.

Song Jiu wrote to Chen Shu, saying that it would take another two or three years. If it really took two or three years, Suzhou might really enter the age of heaven ahead of schedule.

Below is a feedback on what Song Jiu has done in the past two years.

Actually, something happened at this time.

Zhao Kuangyi used Liu Shi as the envoy of the Three Sessions. Liu Shi did something when he went to the Three Sessions. He had fought with the Liao Kingdom for many years, and the supply mainly came from the Jianghuai River. However, many poor people could not pay heavy taxes, so they were always owed and recorded in the documents of the Three Sessions and departments. Whenever the harvest came, officials from all over the country continued to force these rents and taxes, resulting in many people fleeing households. The country's income was not as good as it was.

Therefore, he wrote a letter to the court to write off these tax arrears and give the poor people in Jianghuai a chance. Everyone thought that his statement made sense, so they agreed.

But it is not the same thing if it continues to be executed.

Ordinary officials who are in the country are very happy to increase taxes, and they can create many tricks in the middle to make profits for themselves. However, as soon as the tax is reduced, problems arise one by one. It just so happened that Li Weiqing was a salt and iron envoy, and he was still a good official, but his son-in-law stole some official money, and the officials were afraid of Li Weiqing and dared not impeach him.

Li Weiqing himself was not very clear about it, and his nature was very similar to that of the Yu family.

After Liu Shi arrived at the Third Division, he found out and reported the matter. Li Weiqing was implicated and demoted to the post. Li Weiqing was a little unhappy. Do you also learn from Zhao Rong? It’s not that it’s too much money, can’t you say hello in secret?

Just as Liu Shi implemented the exemption of tax arrears from Jianghuai, some minor officials could not use this to make profits, so they joined forces to attack Liu Shi. The two of them quarreled, and Liu Shi was removed from the position of the Sansi Juyuan Envoy.

Liu Shi was a good comrade, a talented man in the Southern Tang Dynasty, with ambition and good knowledge. Later, he was valued by Emperor Taizong of Song and sentenced to the Ministry of Sokan. The treacherous officials were afraid of submission and made outstanding contributions to the Ministry of Sokan. The law was called the Three Years Mokan, and the person was also called Liu Mokan.

This time I entered the Sansi and reduced taxes from Jianghuai, and evaded taxes. It was good to be careful, but I didn't do anything, but complained, and I looked at the result, so I could only be exempted from office and reduce turmoil in the court. However, the deep reason may be that the officials of the Sansi were always dissatisfied and accumulated. There was also the contribution of Li Weiqing, who was a minor official and a talented person, but he was involved in many vulgarities of clerks, including a small mind, a deacon, a strong desire to retaliate, etc.

However, doing things without clarifying the interests is a mistake in itself.

Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi was a little lost when he saw what Song Jiu did.

Compared with Liu Shi, Song Jiu could hardly see any conflicts occur in Guangdong, Guangxi, East and West Prefectures, or Hedong.

That's an exception in Jiangzhou. The time is too short, otherwise Zhao Kuangyi believed that Song Jiu would make everyone happy sooner or later.

Later, the dispute with Chai and Zhao was also an exception and we should not take it seriously.

It's actually a matter of ability.

Zhao Kuangyi noticed another problem, that is, a rhythm when Song Jiu governed Suzhou.

It is this rhythm, and guided rather than imperative governance, that despite doing so many things, it does not cause much controversy. Then, without realizing it, everything gets better and better.

"This is the real name..."

Zhao Kuangyi suddenly had an impulse.

But at this moment, as the weather gradually became colder, his wounds were severely attacked, and the idea of ​​recalling Song Jiu continued to be relieved.

Although he felt guilty, he only made two moves. The first move was to transfer Wang Juzheng, who had a very similar style to Song Jiu, to serve as a minister of the Central Secretariat, and promoted Song Jiu's two sons, one to the prefect and the other to the magistrate, and the two states were still good states.
