Liang Shanmin, a large landowner outside the city, is one of the most prosperous people here. He has two hundred acres of slightly flatter land on both sides of the valley, but the fertility is not as good as that of the two hundred acres by the pond behind the Su family in Kelongli.

When times are good, the yield per mu is as little as 300 kilograms, which is considered a big deal.

However, there are several large mountain forests outside Yuan, mainly bamboo and miscellaneous trees, and an citrus grove.

Nowadays, citrus cannot be sold, so the forest has become a chicken pen. The tree crowns are high and thorny, which is a perfect air defense system. The chickens are not afraid of raptors under the trees, and they are very healthy running around.

Liang Yuan's knowledge was limited to "The Analects of Confucius", but he had a son who was studying in Lizhou. Hearing that Su Tan, Hua Su and Idol had become the magistrate of his hometown, he was so excited that he packed his bags overnight and hurried back crawling on the ground.

Seeing Su You who was wearing a ramie summer shirt, Xiao Liang felt so happy that he almost exploded with happiness, and he bowed deeply: "I will learn from Liang Jingzhi and pay my respects to Mr. Su, the virtuous man who visited the flowers."

Nowadays, the title "adult" is generally not allowed to be pronounced carelessly. It is mostly used to address the father of the family in writing. People in the Song Dynasty have notes that using this title in official circles will attract shocked smiles and sideways glances.

But that's just what one person said. Since it's mentioned, it just means that someone is using it.

In fact, Su You was called "Sir" in the Song Dynasty's notes.

For example, when Mei Yaochen passed away, people in the village would ask each other: "Who is the evil master living here? Why are there so many guests!"

Therefore, when people in the Song Dynasty are not called adults, it is because the poster did not read widely, and then everyone spread the rumors.

At least there is nothing wrong with the common people and the gentry calling officials "sir". They are the parents of the people.

However, Liang Jingzhi, who was in his twenties, used this title to call Su You, which made Su You find it funny: "There is no need to do this except Liang, it's just that we are brothers."

Lao Liang, a member of the Communist Party of China, hurriedly called out to the room: "Tanhua Lang is here, and the poor family is really prosperous. Hurry up and drink tea in the hall."

Su You smiled and said, "I'm sorry to bother you."

It was probably rare to have such a distinguished guest in the family. Not only the family members, the clan, but also people from all over came over.

I have seen Wenquxing, and I can set up the Dragon Gate Formation for a lifetime!

Liang Yuanwai was very embarrassed: "People from the countryside have never seen the world, so Tanhua Lang is laughing."

Su You called a bolder child over, dragged a stool in the yard and sat down, took a piece of rattan, twisted it three times and two times to make a beautiful takraw ball, took out a folding knife and cut off the excess rattan wire.

Throw it on the ground and the takraw ball will bounce up.

Su You patted it a few times, then handed the sepak takraw ball to the child: "Let's play with it."

The child was so happy that he took the sepak takraw ball and ran outside. After running two steps, he ran back and said, "Thank you, brother Tanhua!" Then he turned around and greeted his friends and ran outside to play with the crowd.

As soon as his hand showed up, all the villagers grinned. It turned out that Tanhualang was an expert in farm work. If someone could make such a sepak takraw ball, the basket and dustpan at home would not need to be called a bamboo craftsman!

Su You asked several village elders to sit down and said with a smile: "Su You also grew up in the countryside. He was very naughty when he was a child, which often gave the elders in the family headaches."

Member Xiao Liang introduced to the people around him: "Xiao Su Tanhua was able to support herself when she was six years old, and she also took in dozens of orphan children."

A village elder didn't believe it: "How can this work?"

Su You smiled and said: "That's because the Meishan Pier is busy, so I took my children to catch fish, and then sold the fish and bean curd rice at the pier to passers-by. I used daily profits to support myself."

"I heard that Kuizhou Pier was very busy in the past, right?"

The village elders nodded: "That must have happened forty or fifty years ago. Later, the mountain in the gorge collapsed and the road was cut off. The top is Yanlidui and the bottom is Xintan. It is difficult to travel by land and water, so we are locked up here."

inside."

"Fortunately, the climate in Kuizhou is mild and there are a lot of mountains around it. The children go up to the mountains to burn rice fields and plant some beans and wheat in the spring, so their lives are quite manageable."

Su You looked at the tattered clothes of the farmers around him. They were still passable, but the endurance of the Chinese people was truly amazing.

The lives of the people down the mountain are like this, and those on the mountain are even more unsightly.

I was concerned about the livelihood during the farming season, and asked about the output in previous years. Finally, I came up with an idea of ​​Kuizhou's economic level. The melons and vegetables can be used as food for the first half of the year, and with God's support, it can provide basic food and clothing.

This is the best area, the best group of people, and the poorest place in the world. This is not nonsense.

The only consolation is that the fat chickens and home-brewed rice wine in Liang Yuanwai's citrus garden taste very good. According to Liang Yuanwai, a local plant fruit called prickly pear is added to the rice wine at home, and the rice wine has an endless aftertaste.

After going to the countryside to provide warmth and eating a fat chicken, Su You began to clean up his books and consolidate his storage.

With 50 yuan of ministerial money a year, the predecessor himself was living a miserable life, and not a single Jiayou Tongbao was left to him.

The warehouse was so clean that the mice moved with tears in their eyes. There were piles of bamboo and ramie in the warehouse, and people probably used this to deduct taxes.

It's all original ecology, and the governor finally did something. At least hemp pole and hemp skin are separated.

At this point, Su You has some confidence. I am not so poor that I am a scumbag...

This is a state in name, but the difficulty of governance is actually not as good as that of a county in Meizhou, or even worse than Lingjing.

Both the Kuizhou Road Transfer Envoy Division and the Appeasement Envoy Division moved their headquarters to Yuzhou. After all, it was close to the center of Shu and is now much more prosperous.

Both groups received Su You's reporting documents and both gave formal replies.

The implication behind the words is that it is too troublesome to get in and out of Kuizhou. We completely trust Xiao Su’s ability to visit flowers. As long as the cage is managed well, if nothing happens, you will not have to travel all the way to see us.

It’s not necessary to cry about poverty, it’s useless to cry about poverty. We calculated it together and found that in order to encourage Xiao Su Tanhua to develop people’s livelihood, the Transportation Department made Kuizhou tax-free! Tax-free for three years!

There are also rural archers. Last year's new policy allowed each state to have a maximum of 600. If you are willing, Xiao Su Tanhua, the pacification envoy will give you the establishments of Zhongzhou, Kaizhou and Dazhou. Now you have 2,400 people to support you.

, so intimidating the barbarians should not exist for you, huh?

Su You was so angry: "You think I'm wild, right?!"

Can Kuizhou receive taxes? Is there any difference between exempt and non-exempt?!

With no taxes, no money and food, and 2,400 people, the young master can’t afford to raise even one mouse!

Because the population is small and the industry is small, the people are busy making ends meet, and everyone has to work together to get food from God. The only advantage is that there is no such thing as infighting.

As long as production is done well, most of Kuizhou's problems will be solved.

The main contradiction in Kuizhou's current society is the contradiction between the people's basic needs for production and life and low productivity.

Su You returned to the government office and began to write a letter, asking Meishan for help.

Soon, Meishan sent a type-1 sailing ship. In addition to the various things Su You requested, there was also a small team.

Meishan Tudimiao Primary School has now become a major training base for Sichuan science and engineering talents. The first batch of fifty people have all grown up and are scattered in various industries in Meishan, serving as backbones.

Zhang San and Liu Si are also fathers in their twenties. Zhang San was the earliest leader of the fishing team and is now the chief engineer of the transportation department of Sitong Company.

Quicksilver Boat is this kid’s independent design.

Liu Si is the leader of the infrastructure construction team and is now the chief engineer and cartography expert of the Road Construction Department.

When the two of them saw Su You, they were extremely excited. They came forward to greet him and bowed: "Zhang San, Liu Si, say hello to the young master!"

Zhang San said: "The young master was selected as the top student in high school, and there was a big celebration in Meishan City for three days! We all gathered together, crying and laughing, but it was a pity that the young master was not here. It was really more lively than the Chinese New Year!"

Su You quickly helped the two of them up: "What are the third and fourth brothers doing? Is everything okay at home?"

Liu Si wiped away his tears: "Everything is fine. Hachigong is in good health! He just can't stay idle. The children from Tutu Temple Primary School all like to play with him."

"Brother Shuanzhao wanted to come this time, but he got scolded by Mr. Cheng before he went back to the mausoleum! This errand fell on both of us."

"Old Master Shi is currently at the mine on the Anning River in Dali. The fine iron there is now being shipped out in boats. Sister Atun said she would bring a team of soldiers over in two days to support you!"

Su You said: "Nonsense! She holds a military post on Yizhou Road, how can she leave the area lightly? She is still healthy, maybe she wants to come and ask for gifts from me?"

Atunmi got married, and Mr. Fan was the one who pulled the strings.

I heard that he was Mr. Fan's right-hand man, a young man from the Bai family of the Erlin Department who worked with Mr. Fan in organizing books, managing the school, and also studying with him as a disciple.

On the other side of Yibin, Tang Yan absorbed many refugees who had fled here to make a living and formed a town named Jiangyang City.

It took another three years to build the road from Anning Valley to Jiangyang City, forming the Erlin Department Dali Huichangfu Jiangyang City triangle area.

This ring line is very distinctive. It actually divides Huichang Prefecture into two, with Huichang Prefecture as the boundary. The south is controlled by Dali, and the north is controlled by the Erlin Department and Jiangyang City.

The refined iron produced was jointly distributed by Dali Gaojia, Erlin Department, and Sitong Trading House.

Most of this refined iron still flowed into the Song Dynasty and was absorbed by the Sichuan Gorge Four Roads.

In Lizhou, another major economic region in eastern Sichuan, it is not cost-effective to take the waterway from Meishan to the Wanzi of the Jialing River and then up. Now Sitong Shanghao Road Construction Department is improving the roadbed and preparing to place a satellite between Meizhou and Lizhou.
