Chapter 770 Flag

Rapeseed is very small, and only half a kilogram of seeds is needed for one acre of land. Su You transported 20,000 kilograms of seeds from Shu and arranged 500 hectares of land.

If you want to use a columbine to sow seeds, it is not enough to use rapeseed. You have to use soybean meal, rice bran and the like to dilute the seeds before sowing them. It is also a process of top dressing.

In addition to rapeseed, winter wheat must also be arranged, and some plots in the south of the Yangtze River must abandon rice and replace it with wheat, so that after the wheat harvest next year, another crop that competes with rice for land-cotton can be sown.

By the time these things were arranged, it was already November.

The south wind is picking up, and it's time for the big ship to go to sea.

Zhao Zongyou's ability surprised Zhang San, because in theory, although a large ship with 5,000 materials can load 300 tons of cargo, in fact, due to the different sizes of the cargo itself, it takes up different spaces. It can load 200 tons.

The ship boss's room planner is very capable.

Zhao Zongyou, after careful calculation and scientific weighting of ten large and small ships and various goods, allowed Zhang San to load the ten ships with only eight ships.

Zhang San ran to apologize to Su You and wanted to bring more goods, but Su You refused to let him.

I just want to say that the long voyage is hard, so carrying more fresh water, food, weapons and ammunition will also provide more protection.

Su You scolded Zhang San in his heart, "Every penny I have has a place to go, every batch of goods has a provenance, why didn't you tell me earlier?!"

Fortunately, after the autumn harvest, Liangzhe Road produced a lot of military rations, so the food was replaced with canned food, a specialty of Liangzhe Road, which could be used as a reserve or as a commodity.

In order to declare the country to which the fleet belonged, Suyou petitioned for the production of a unified flag as a symbol.

Zhongshu and Zhao Xu were amused by Su You's serious application. It was just a flag. Is it necessary to be so serious?

So Zhao Xu directly gave Su You instructions, just do whatever you want and be happy.

Su You was really serious and gathered all the forces together. His Majesty agreed. Now everyone is brainstorming how to get this flag?

There are various design options. Everyone thinks that Shao Bowen’s design of a square with yellow characters on a red background is good. It is a red flag with a printed Chinese character "Song" written on it. That design is great!

Su You is angry, can you all be more serious to me?! This thing can be traced back to the "totem" of ancient times. The Nuwa clan uses snakes, Xia Yu's ancestors use yellow bears, as well as the sun, moon, crow...

…

First of all, this thing must have its identification function. When everyone sees this flag, they will know that it is the ship of the Song Dynasty.

The second is its leadership, which should be conveyed to others through visual intuition. The core parts of the Song Dynasty's politics, economy, military, culture, and moral traditions represent all aspects of the entire country and are the leading symbols that everyone abides by.

The third is its identity, which means that it represents the common cultural characteristics and common values ​​of all classes in the Song Dynasty.

Then Shao Bowen jumped up and made a fuss. Since you said this, teacher, let me ask you, which part of my design plan does not meet what you said?!

What happened to Su You: "I...fuck..."

Shao Bowen continued to speak plausibly.

The color red is the base, indicating that the Song Dynasty inherited the virtue of fire.

The character Song in the middle is simple and clear, representing the name of this country.

Yellow is the base of the word, which represents land and represents the Song Dynasty as a country with a mainly agricultural civilization.

Chinese characters are the most powerful symbols that are most obviously different from the surrounding barbarians. They are also the most unique symbol of Chinese civilization. Moreover, Chinese characters are inherently abstract in graphics. They inherently have cultural connotations higher than images and are the core of our Chinese civilization.

the ideological connotation.

Now, teacher, please tell me, which of the three points you mentioned about this design does not comply with?!

The point is, everyone says it’s good, but you alone say it’s not good. The reasons you gave do not support your point of view, so why do you still object? What is the greatest meaning of universal fairness that was agreed upon before the design?!

Su You looked at the group of people around him and put his hands on his forehead, wondering whether to laugh or cry: "You... you are so lacking in imagination... you... you will be laughed at by future generations..."

Shao Bowen was angry: "I feel very proud when I see it!"

Cai Jing nodded: "I agree."

Zhang San nodded: "I agree."

Zeng Bu nodded: "Shaobao... this... is very good..."

Sun Jue nodded. The old man had received a new order from the imperial court. He was transferred to the post of governor of Luzhou and handed over Huzhou to the younger and more powerful Zhang Dun: "I also think Ziwen's plan is good."

Wang Anshi nodded: "I agree in principle, otherwise, change the flag to a triangle to make it richer in connotation. In the Song Dynasty, the virtue of fire was the red bird among the four phases, corresponding to the south, and the ritual vessel was Zhang."

"Does making the flag into the shape of Zhang conform to what Mingrun said...the symbolic meaning?"

This view was absolutely supported by all participants. Duke Jiefu was indeed a great scholar of Confucian classics and a great cultural talent!

So the flag plan was finalized, and Sitong Shipping Ship went to sea this time, flying a triangular red flag with the word "Song" written in yellow print!

Then everyone took advantage of Su You's jaw-dropping moment to reach an agreement. Okay, okay, we decided happily. Let's quickly turn the page and don't waste time. Discussing the Su Lake land development plan is the serious thing!

Now that the opinions of all parties have been gathered, the imperial court’s intentions are roughly as follows:

First, the imperial court did not give a penny, so Liangzhe Road raised its own funds for land development projects.

Second, during the development process, mergers and acquisitions must be restrained, large-scale land occupation by powerful families must not occur, and land distribution must be appropriately tilted towards landless households and fifth-class households.

Third, land must not be used as a coercive act to increase burdens on households, and resettlement must be voluntary.

Fourth, new immigrants must not be saddled with new types of debt by forcibly distributing the means of production to them.

Su You didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he got the written text. His first thought was: Lu Huiqing, who is so stupid, even though he had selfish motives in order to make things more difficult for him, he actually got down to business!

There are several general meanings of local gentry:

The best way is for the government to completely renovate the land, so that people with mud legs can move in, which will reduce our future management and construction troubles.

In addition to money, grain and silk should also be used as capital for purchasing land.

Road traffic needs to be improved by the Transportation Department, especially the arch bridge between Hong Kong and Hong Kong, which needs to be repaired in place.

For each polder, corresponding public hydraulic facilities must be established.

We should no longer be labeled as a annexed house. We are purchasing land for the country and developing it for the country. We have merit but no fault.

As for expenses, the big business owners don't care too much. After hundreds of years of accumulation, the powerful families are not short of money at all.

The meaning of the two Zhejiang prefectures roughly includes:

The first is tax relief. State governments regard digging up the hidden households of refugees as a political achievement. This cannot be passed by Zhongshu. It can only be operated in secret on the Liangzhe Road. Therefore, the Liangzhe Road must foot the bill and give it to the local states in the form of tax rebates.

There are some benefits to the government.

As for the tax gap formed by the Transshipment Department, hahaha, if you are so powerful, there should be a way to fill it, huh?

Then you can’t be picky. A small household often comes with two elderly people, a woman, and several children. It’s a household. You can’t just give the minimum security package to those who can work and leave the burden to us.

The third transaction is one-size-fits-all. This cannot be treated as a hidden refugee problem in various places afterwards and used to beat us. It can only be regarded as our contribution and rewarded.

The fourth account clearly states that supporting the development of Suhu Lake has no real benefits for other local and state governments other than reducing the population burden. Therefore, when it comes to purchasing bamboo and wood and other infrastructure materials needed for development, it must be tilted towards surrounding states.

, funds must be allocated in a timely manner without any deductions, so that everyone can benefit from it.

After reading the opinions of all parties, Su You's first sentence was: "I'm just spoiling you, right..."

After several rounds of arduous negotiations, the decision to develop Su Lake was finally reached.

Suyou agreed in principle to all demands, but divided the land into three types.

The first type is official land, which is the land developed by the Liangzhe Road Transfer Department with its own funds. The land distribution problem of lower households and landless households that the court is concerned about will be solved with this part of the land.

The second type is the powerful new immigrants from Shuzhong, or immigrant families.

This group of people will be allocated purchaseable land based on the upper limit of 40 acres per male, and will be organized by Sitong Company to develop the polder. Their management and production methods will be under the overall coordination of Sitong Company before they settle down.
Chapter completed!
