Fortunately, Suyou had long been famous in southern Sichuan, and with the pervasive tentacles of Wangyuge, a business intelligence agency, local officials did not dare to try to fool around.

Rather than trying your best to cover it up and finally being exposed, it is better to confess directly and then ask Cao Shuai to understand the difficulties and be lenient.

The local officials in the Song Dynasty, from the county level to Xiazhou, were really hard-pressed.

When a high-ranking official like Su You passes through this state once, the place will often be in deficit for several years.

Fortunately, Su You didn't care about filial piety, nor did he look down on other people's food. He didn't take advantage of the masses. He only helped solve problems along the way without adding burdens. He also helped bring in some businessmen from several counties, leaving a clean and capable person all the way.

reputation.

Only a few of them who were really dishonorable and completely proven to be irrefutable were reported to the imperial court by Su You and dismissed from their posts on the spot.

As soon as the boat passed Luzhou, the riverside became lively.

As soon as the ship docked, barbarians from all over the country would flock to it, kneel on the riverside and worship and shout. As soon as Su You showed up, there would be thunderous cheers, which was even more lively than the grass market during the festival.

This was the first time Zhong Yi saw such a scene, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "There are still officials in Song Dynasty who are so popular with the people?"

Zhang Qi expressed disdain: "When we were in Kuizhou, every day we opened the door, the door would be filled with eggs and vegetables sent by the folks..."

Su You was waving to the barbarians, but he quickly stopped him when he heard this: "Don't mention that! My dear, I have eaten all the eggs in my life in half a year, and now I can only choose some salted egg yolks for dinner!"

The transfer envoy was first placed in the Tang Dynasty and was initially in charge of transportation. The department in charge was called "Caosi".

Transportation is closely related to economic activities, so his power gradually expanded and he began to take charge of finance.

After the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, in addition to managing the wealth along the way, checking whether there was any consumption, sufficient supplies, and fees for counties and counties, correspondingly, the annual inspection of savings and auditing of accounts also became the main tasks.

In addition, when all officials have problems, they are basically caused by economic problems first. Therefore, the Transportation Department is later responsible for assassinating officials and local virtuous and treacherous people. In the end, "everything along the way is summarized" and became a road-level department.

Supreme Chief Executive.

Su You was the transfer envoy to the Erlinxia River. The imperial court's intention was very clear. The power was only in the new area, and the areas governed by the traditional road should still be under the leadership of the old road.

To put it bluntly, this is a temporary assignment of a transitional nature. Once the adjustment of the Yi people is smooth and the Xiajiang Capital Transfer Department withdraws, these areas will return to their respective families and recognize their respective mothers.

Therefore, Suyou has to consider not only the present, but also the future.

The first thing is to log in the household registration, count the population, divide the ownership of the land, make a fish scale book, issue the land deed, and complete everything one by one.

It would be easier to expect the officials of the Song Dynasty to be honest than to let the barbarians hold land deeds to make it more difficult to exploit them.

Fortunately, he is not fighting alone, and there is help.

The veterans of the Weizhou War have been tempered in the military and trained in study classes. Now some of the disabled and elderly are demobilized and returned to their hometowns as civilians.

These people have been carefully selected by Su Youjing. They have seen the world outside and broadened their horizons. They are no longer ignorant natives who can be easily deceived by officials.

Moreover, they were upright and had some prestige in the military. These people were demobilized and worked at the grassroots level, becoming village chiefs, village leaders, and community leaders. They undoubtedly brought a lot of positive energy to areas where powerful forces had not yet formed.

As for the powerful local chieftains, they are divided into two categories. One is like Qidi and Tian Shouzhong, who can be of great use.

There is also a group of people who have controlled the village affairs for a long time, exploited the people in Pedong, and are cruel and cruel. This group of people should be severely punished.

The blow came from many aspects. First of all, Su You was the great shaman of the southwestern barbarians, and he was the most fair. If the chieftain had any old scores, when the shaman arrived, he would have the highest jurisdiction of both royal law and witchcraft.

Right, feel free to complain.

The bigger blow is economic.

Massive terraced fields have been built along the Sichuan Gorge. According to the current pace of field creation, there will still be room for development even in another twenty years.

When land was not a scarce resource, it became very simple to free slaves.

The reason why slaves are slaves is because they have no production tools and land, so they can only become vassals of the chieftains.

But now, this obstacle is gone. The Song Dynasty pays great attention to contracts. There is no such thing as slaves in the code. Those who are willing to leave the chieftain and support themselves will be given the greatest support by the government and the great witches. Green crop loans are a business that Stone Bank is extremely familiar with.

The government supported the transformation of slaves into self-cultivators, and distributed acres of land, seeds, livestock and fish fry through banks. According to the plan of the "Southwestern Agricultural Book", each household had a small piece of forest, five acres of land, one acre of pond, pig pens, chicken and duck sheds.

.

Plant mulberries beside the pond, raise fish in the pond, feed the fish in the pond with chicken and duck manure, use the silt at the bottom of the pond to fertilize the fields with mulberries, use organic fertilizer in the pig pen to fertilize the fields... This is a self-sufficient organic ecological cycle system with families as individuals.

After four years, the free people in Southwest Yizhong have transformed from a tightly controlled chieftain system to a joint-family family that can support themselves, and the control of the chieftains has been seriously weakened.

Those who were usually charitable and enlightened have now become representatives of the gentry in the countryside, with high prestige.

Those who are usually vicious, mean, and suck out their marrow, I'm sorry, but we won't serve them now.

Moreover, this kind of non-servicing was protected by the laws of the Song Dynasty. The free people of Dong Village, those who could fight, had already actively joined the army and went to Weizhou to make a lot of money. The rest are now busy farming and raising pigs for themselves every day.

The little family is busy with work and the good days are never finished. Who has the patience to stand in for the leader and help suppress the children?

At this point, it has become a common phenomenon for children to flee in groups and go down the mountain.

The smart leaders began to use various preferential measures to try to retain them; while the tyrannical ones did not hesitate to use private armies to stop and kill them.

Politics is like this: make more and more friends, make fewer and fewer enemies, and finally eliminate them.

Today, the vast majority of the Yi people in Xiajiang are firmly on the side of the great witch.

Su You waved his hand, no matter the witchcraft or the Song Dynasty, they all pay attention to kindness and fairness. Those who are tyrannical and domineering, commit heinous crimes against the barbarian brothers, and bear heavy blood debts, God will destroy them!

There is no need to use the formal army. As soon as the great witchcraft decree arrives, the children will mobilize on their own and tie the leaders to the tent.

One general succeeded, and thousands of bones were withered. Su You was now a big boss standing on top of fifty thousand corpses, so there were a few more pools of blood on the bank of the Xiajiang River.

Amid pools of blood and the cheers of the barbarians, the slave chieftain system was transformed into a feudal yeoman system. The last part of manpower and productivity in the southwest was liberated, once again injecting new vitality into the Xiajiang region.

This is the essence of reform.

Those who joined the army, those who joined the caravans, those who stayed in the local area to work in agriculture, the Yi people gradually broadened their horizons with the expansion of Sitong Company. With the investment in basic education, it was a smooth process for them to integrate into the big social family of the Song Dynasty.

The imperial court was still in the pacification stage for these newly attached areas, and the tax system was light, so Su You began to build docks, salt warehouses, and rice barns on several riversides, allowing Chang Pingwu to be established in several areas.

This is also in response to the recent call of the Third Division. If Sichuan and Shaanxi are completed, one-seventh of the Song Dynasty will be completed.

As soon as the salt warehouse was repaired, Shu banknotes were popularized, especially small-denomination Shu banknotes, which were very easy to use. Each county also had a bank bank responsible for recycling old coins, issuing new coins, and putting express banknotes into use, making the Xiajiang economy become a

Integrated, the transportation is very fast, and the intelligence is collected in a timely manner. It has been a system for ten years, and now it just has a few more stopping points.

With these, the grass market prospered.

It’s not that the Yi people don’t have specialties, it’s just that no one cared about them or bought them in the past. Medicinal materials, wild products, bamboo, camellia oil, tung oil, honey, beeswax, and raw lacquer are the bulk of trade in the southwest.
