The world is changing with each passing day.

On March 15th of the following year, spring plowing just ended.

The endless Jianghan Plain is no longer as green as before. Looking at it, it looks like a black field. This is the wood ash left by the burning of vegetation when the people reclaimed land, which can be used as fertilizer for the coming year.

The invented agricultural tools and water conservancy equipment such as curved plows and cylindrical trucks by the medical school have significantly improved the efficiency of sowing and transplanting. The rice seedlings can be seen vaguely under the black wood ash.

The reclaiming of three thousand wastelands was the result of five months of hard work from the fifth year of Zhenguan to the sixth year of Zhenguan.

In order to encourage the reclaiming of wasteland and to prevent the newly reclaimed fields from becoming deserted, Li Yuan promulgated the Qing Seedling Law in Jinling.

People can borrow new seeds from the government during spring plowing, and then collect 20% of the interest during autumn harvest.

You should know that private usury is rampant, and profits are not uncommon. Some families who are frivolous and frugal make money by borrowing money. Wang Xifeng in Dream of Red Mansions makes a living with usury in private.

Although these things that exploit the blood of the people have always been despised by the aristocratic families, nothing can be worthy of the truth. The evil slaves in the wealthy families took this opportunity to lend money, and they may borrow very little, but the profits are profitable, and the family will eventually lose money to become tenants of the aristocratic family.

The accumulation of primitive capital is so bloody.

The Qingmiao Law implemented by Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty was boycotted by the old party of scholars and officials, and Li Yuan was naturally no exception.

Especially in the south where the atmosphere and environment of the aristocratic family are heavier.

Unlike the Guanlong nobles who valued military merits, the southern families inherited the Qing Dynasty's talks since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, which was not pragmatic.

The aristocratic families are always extravagant and raise a large number of private slaves.

Jinling, Yuye Palace.

Li Yuan was dressed in regular clothes, knelt on the straw mat, and held a pen to deal with government affairs on the desk.

His expression was calm and he wrote a comment on the red pen.

Unlike in the Chang'an Palace, he now ruled with Li Shimin and ruled the government affairs in the south, and was absolutely not as relaxed as in the capital.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear the weight.

"Qingshui County has ten land reclaimed and the people borrowed 200 stones of rice. How could there be such a low cultivation rate?" Li Yuan frowned and stopped writing without saying a word.

The Tang Dynasty was different from the high-yield farmland in later generations. In later generations, there were only a maximum of ten acres of land, but in the Tang Dynasty, there were at least a hundred acres of land.

According to the continuous equal land system of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it can be seen that a man over 15 years old gave 40 mu of dewy fields to plant millet valleys and 20 mu of women. The slaves also gave 1 ox to give 1 ox to the land, and a limit of 4 oxes. The field is doubled or doubled according to the resumption of the rotation. The land is not allowed to be bought or sold, and the land is returned to the land when he is old or dead. The land is given to the slaves and oxes, and the land is given to the slaves and oxes, and the land is given to the slaves and oxes.

A man gave 20 acres of mulberry fields. The mulberry fields in the world do not need to be returned to the country, but can be passed on to the descendants. They can sell their excess or buy less than 20 acres of parts. A man gave 10 acres of madi and 50 acres of madi and returns them to the fields after they are old and die.

Therefore, with the equal-field system as the background, basically the more males are born, the more prosperous the family will be. Of course, different places are different, and there are differences between narrow villages and broad fragrance. For example, in Guanzhong, the number of fields will be reduced accordingly, and in remote areas, fields will be increased accordingly.

Qingshui County is one of the twelve new counties that Li Yuan had just divided in Huguang. It is specialized in the matter of immigration and reclamation and is a newly established county.

There are about 100,000 people in a county, but only ten thousand people have been cultivated!

One hectares of land is one thousand acres.

Even if one person reclaims one acre, it will not achieve such an effect.

However, Li Yuan personally inspected Huguang, and according to statistics, the wastelands reclaimed had reached about 3,000.

But the thirteen counties together are only more than 700.

Could you lose the others?

hehe!

Li Yuan sneered.

He brought a cup of tea next to Li Yuan and said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry about the reclaiming of wastelands for a while, so I'd better drink this cup of ginseng soup first."

Li Yuan took a sip and said, "Mingyan, it is said that the governor Chen from Jiangnan West Road is here. I have something to ask him."

In the early Tang Dynasty, there were only two levels of prefectures and counties, and there were a total of 108 states in the country. Although the local dominance was eliminated, the handling of government affairs became more and more burdensome.

Therefore, according to the old rules, Li Yuan divided the south into Jiangnan West Road, Jiangnan East Road, Shannan West Road, Huainan Road, Qianzhong Road, Annan Road, Lingnan Road, Jiannan Road and Annan Road.

There are nine roads in total.

A Tao is roughly similar to a province in later generations.

However, this division is more about selling dog meat with sheep's head, and it is a territory divided according to the future provincial system.

There was originally only one Jiangnan Road in Jiangnan, but the taxes in the south accounted for 70% of the south. It was too dangerous to divide one road, so it was divided into Jiangnan West Road and Jiangnan East Road, which is the two provinces of Jiangxi and Jiangsu.

Each route is governed by the governor.

Not long after, General Chen hurried to Yuye Hall.

"I meet Your Majesty and I hope you will be blessed." Governor Chen bowed respectfully.

"I wonder which county guard of Governor Chen comes from?" Li Yuan asked with a smile.

Hearing this sentence, Governor Chen immediately stood up and bowed: "I came from the Chen family of Yingchuan, and was the 17th great-grandson of the Marquis of Yingyin."

For the aristocratic families, talking about their county honours is the most proud time. The county honours are the lintels, which can prove the noble nature of the noble blood and make them prouder than their own official positions.

The Marquis of Yingyin was the title of Chen Qun, the Sikong of Cao Wei. Chen Qun was born in a famous family and was appointed as the leader of Yuzhou by Liu Bei in his early years. When Cao Cao entered Xuzhou, he was appointed as the governor of Sikong and Xi, and later transferred to the position of military affairs. When Cao Cao was granted the title of Duke of Wei, he was appointed as the Chief Censor of Wei. Later, he was appointed as the Minister of Personnel and the Marquis of Changwuting. After the establishment of Cao Wei, he served as the Minister of Shangshu, the General of the Army, the Central Guard, and the Minister of Shangshu. After Cao Pi's death, Chen Qun was ordered to assist in the administration. Cao Rui ascended the throne and served as the Minister of Shangshu, and was awarded the Minister of Shangshu.

From the end of the Han Dynasty to the present, the Chen family in Yingchuan has been unrealized for more than 400 years. Yingchuan County is the first to recommend the Chen family. Even Chen Baxian of Southern Chen also considers himself the descendants of the Chen family in Yingchuan. As the fifth largest surname in China, the Chen family has as many as 40 million of the Chen family in Yingchuan among the 60 million people.

Although the southern family was headed by the Xiao family, the Yingchuan Chen family did not give in too much. They were first-class family members.

His ancestor, Wei Sikong Chen Qun, was the drafter who established the ninth rank Zhongzheng system and listed the Yingchuan Chen family as the first rank.

"Not bad, very good, but I promoted you to take charge of the matter of reclaiming wasteland in Huguang, but that's how you... do you...

Your ancestor, Marquis Yingyin, may be ashamed to see your back." Li Yuan said.

"This..." Governor Chen's face turned red. He took the memorial handed over by Li Yuan, and became more and more frightened as he read it.

Not only Qingshui County, but three of the newly divided thirteen counties have extremely low cultivation targets. How could he not understand the reason for this?

But the tradition has always been to pretend to be confused with understanding!
