Chapter 184

Fan Wuya said: "Lieutenant Zhao was born in the local Han clan, so there are a thousand soldiers in the government office, but in fact there are only three hundred. It's just that Captain Zhao and Master Feng Shulu under the name of Master Qingzhou Shanjian are related by marriage. He once married a daughter of Feng's family Wife, so no one blames Xiaowei Zhao."

Shulu is not a high-ranking official, and must be held by a poor family, but this official function directly contacts the governor, which seems very powerful.

What Fan Wuya meant was that if the school lieutenant surnamed Zhao wanted to move him, he would immediately be charged with empty pay, but he was related to the records of Qingzhou governor's history. It will cause trouble.

You Hongyin said: "I'm just here, and I'm not familiar with the county affairs. If you are interested, you can give me more advice."

It is impossible for You Hongyin to immediately recognize Fan Wuya as a confidant after hearing Fan Wuya's speech. The selection of subordinates and the selection of the lord are mutual, and they always have to test more, and by the way, see if each other's abilities are compatible or not.

Fan Wuya was not an eager person, so he resigned soon.But in the next few days, he did come as scheduled, and organized the county affairs for You Hongyin in an orderly manner.

And You Hongyin is also very satisfied with his ability. If you say that this person has a general purpose, he may not have great wisdom. Not bad at all, very useful indeed.

You Hongyin also hinted that although he was born in the Guo family in Luoyang, he didn't like the style of talking, and also saw that the world was going to be chaotic, so he wanted to use Qingzhou as the base, retreat to protect himself, and advance to govern the country.

During this period, You Hongyin handed a letter to Shan Jian, but it was not to exchange government affairs, but to greet and discuss literature. After a few letters, he was called a confidant by Shan Jian. Soon Captain Zhao lost his job, and Hu Gui, who was beside You Hongyin, took his place.

Zhao Xiaowei's lack of pay was not the main reason why You Hongyin punished him, but those government soldiers, all of them were yellow and skinny and weak in combat strength, which was much worse than that of farmers working in the fields.How could You Hongyin tolerate this kind of military management skills.

The day when Hu Gui took office was when Fan Wuya changed his name to "Lord". Fan Wuya used his ability to handle government affairs to show You Hongyin his talent, and You Hongyin used Zhao Xiaowei's matter to think of Fan Wuya. Wuya showed his skills.

After the chores were taken care of, You Hongyin began to tell the truth about the entire Gaomi County. The useful ones were left temporarily, and the useless ones were slowly exchanged. It is necessary to practice a lot in various practical positions. This is the last step in You Hongyin's training of disciples.

In less than half a year, Gaomi County was completely controlled by You Hongyin.

At this moment, Hu Wei's training regiment gradually took shape, with a total of 200 people, all of whom were You Hongyin's private soldiers.

From autumn to winter, although Gaomi County does not seem to have changed much, the high-level personnel have a different spirit. Whether it is work attitude or corruption, they have improved, and the ability to trust the prefect has not changed. People underestimate.

If only this is the case, these officials who are intimidated by the prefect's family background and wrists will only praise them for their greatness, and it may be impossible to sincerely surrender.

After the autumn harvest, it was the slack time for farming, and You Hongyin began to collect corvees.

In ancient times, corvée was hard to bear, it was nothing more than the low officials’ deduction and rush to rush the progress. You Hongyin formulated a whole set of related procedures and distributed them to the whole county, such as stipulating the working hours and how much soup and water to provide every day. Work is indeed hard work. , but it is not unacceptable, nor is it too hard.

As for the petty officials who had embezzled the food, the guards in You Hongyin's hands had already found out the reason, and cut off more than a dozen of them.

At the beginning of the corvee, it was not to build cities, but to build canals.

In fact, there are not many natural waters in Gaomi County. Almost all the irrigation water comes from God. It is not wrong to say that you eat from the sky. However, the county is at the end of Weishui waters, and there are many lakes and branches, large and small. Properly used and connected by water canals, it must be called a grain production base.

In fact, the canal has existed since ancient times, but the soil structure is easy to collapse, and it needs to be repaired and maintained every year. You Hongyin has already built a kiln near Jiaozhou Bay to burn cement, which was first used to build the canal.

There is insufficient money and food in the county, part of it was paid by You Hongyin personally, and part of it was donated by a few local tyrants and big businessmen.

At this moment, in addition to building canals to connect Weishui River, deep wells need to be dug in some places where the waters are not abundant. Because the prefect's mansion could not allocate manpower to take charge, it was handed over to the county magistrates in various places, and the expenses were also borne by the county governments in various places.There is no way, You Hongyin has no problem with money, but there is not much food.

Soon, the freezing moment came.

The tense corvee came to an end, and winter should have entered the day of "Cat Winter". At this moment, the north wind was blowing, and poor people stayed indoors for months and months in order to save firewood, food and cloth.However, this winter is different, and it seems that the higher-ups are about to start taking action again.

But the farmers who were issued a notice to work did not complain.

It's all the effect of that solid and magical canal.

In addition to being used to build canals, the thing called 'cement' has gradually begun to be sold by merchants. The price is indeed not very cheap, but it can be pasted on the outside of the stone wall to reduce air leakage. It was originally crudely made and piled up with rocks. The house is no longer leaking in an instant.

Because there are many rocks here and the wind speed is high, the folks mostly use rocks to build walls, and the roofs are covered with thatch.However, houses made of mountain rocks are prone to air leakage, and using clay to paste the walls can only solve the problem for a while, and it is too easy to be washed away by rain. This cement can repair three houses with a load of cement. People with a little extra energy use millets to paste the walls.

And You Hongyin, who taught the prescription in the dream of the fairy family, also gained a good reputation in the local area.

After the canal was built, it was completely frozen, and the ground was hardened by the frost.

But You Hongyin ordered winter irrigation.

At this time, the planting industry was still underdeveloped, and there were large differences between the north and the south, and even between counties and counties. You Hongyin did not know about other places, but there was no such thing as winter irrigation in Qingzhou.

Naturally, some people would have doubts when proposing this method, but doubts could not stop You Hongyin from making a decision. At the beginning of the implementation of certain methods, it was indeed incomprehensible, but as long as you tasted the benefits, You Hongyin must not urge you the next year , they themselves will do things spontaneously.

When You Hongyin took office, he had already selected more than a dozen small officials to teach the method of winter irrigation. These small officials can only be regarded as having a rough knowledge of writing, so they are not very useful, but they have been in contact with farming affairs all year round, so they are good for teaching farming helper.After three or four months of emergency training, these petty officials knew how to irrigate in winter, how to burn soil and fertilizer, what fertilization is, etc., You Hongyin sent them to various county offices to help with irrigation in winter.

Irrigate the fields in winter to store water in the soil and prevent spring drought, which is winter irrigation.But the role of winter irrigation is not just to prevent early drought.

One is to loosen the soil, winter irrigation can make the water in the soil freeze and swell, and the surface will be loose after thawing.At the same time, the appropriate temperature of water in the soil after winter irrigation and the action of bacteria accelerate the decay of dead branches and leaves, which is conducive to improving soil fertility.

Both winter irrigation can reduce pest damage.After winter irrigation, the insect eggs on the soil surface can be washed into ice water to freeze to death. In this era without pesticides, drought, flood and insect damage are the most feared in planting.

In order to be safer, You Hongyin asked the farmers to carry out a deep plowing at the same time when the water was not frozen during winter irrigation. For this reason, the farm tools that would only be distributed during the spring planting time were distributed to various places in advance.

The first is the new iron plow, Quyuan plow.However, due to the cost of production and the lack of iron materials, only the plowshares of iron plows are made of iron, and the rest are made of wood.

However, as long as the iron plowshare is enough, the efficiency of plowing the land with iron plow is three times that of the past, and no matter whether it is a person or an animal, it is not very tiring, and the plowing time in a day is longer than before. Twice as much!

After the winter irrigation, everything seemed to have calmed down, and You Hongyin was finally able to concentrate on other things.

Since entering Qingzhou, most of the money and food he spent were from past business income, and iron materials, etc., were also purchased and transported from Guangling.In addition to agricultural tools such as iron plows, it is natural to be equipped with weapons and armed private soldiers. With so many people raised, money is spent like flowing water, and it is beginning to be difficult to make ends meet.

And the cement thing was not positioned as a money-making thing from the beginning, nor did it bring You Hongyin a lot of money and food.

Then, only large-scale trade can be carried out, and the transportation here is inconvenient, and there are many hills and rocks. If you want to do large-scale trade, you still need to build a port.

It's just that the establishment of a seaport can't be done overnight, it can only be done slowly. It is impossible for You Hongyin to build east and west as soon as he comes. Such a haste may exhaust the strength of the local people.

However, although large-scale trade cannot be carried out, other workshops of his own can be opened.

The first is Yantian.

There are many natural brines here, but they do not produce salt, because these brines are not open-air brines, but hidden underground, and not many people have discovered them.

This kind of brine needs to dig a well to extract the brine, and at the same time requires a lot of firewood, which is slightly worse than the natural rich brine. However, this place also has a natural advantage, that is, coal is produced in Gaomi.

This coal is not the charcoal that is often said in the world, but the so-called coal or graphite. Their function is not for burning, but for making medicine and so on.

Why?

Because it is poisonous to burn.

There is a natural open-pit coal mine near Fuyang County, Gaomi.

Naturally, many factors were considered when choosing Gaomi County. Among them, the distribution of mineral resources in Qingzhou was also the focus of You Hongyin's consideration.

Therefore, You Hongyin planned to carry out the salt and coal industries at the same time.

Of course, coal is not picked up and sold immediately, but must be processed and promoted.For example, use copper and iron to make a briquette stove. This novelty and small stove is very suitable for tea cooking, but the technical content is low, and I am afraid that it will be imitated soon.But other people can use copper and iron to imitate, but they can't use cement to pour it, but they can use cement to make it in their own hands, and the cost is low.

Then process a briquette for use with the stove. It may not be able to completely replace charcoal, but it is definitely better than charcoal. Presumably those arty nobles who are afraid of the cold will like it.

It's just that the transportation cost of this item is relatively high, and it cannot be sold as a cheap item in a short period of time when it is sold.
