I’m The King Chapter 1270: : Carrying forward the past and ushering in the future (one hundred and sixty) Yingshui Fangshu
Different from the bustling but chaotic opposite bank, the side of Yingshui is a different scene. All the identical buildings are arranged neatly like a queue of soldiers standing upright, and roads made of concrete connect these houses. It is planned into small squares one by one, and the streets are wide and tidy.
In the Han Dynasty, the military and government are now strictly separated. The military does not interfere with politics. The only role of the military is to protect the environment and the people, and is ready to fight against the enemy at any time. However, it is the local officials' business to govern the local area, manage the people's livelihood, and develop the economy. . Because of the particularity of Yingshui's location, Fang Shu, the county magistrate here, was directly sent from the Zhengshitang. After graduating from Jicheng Comprehensive University, he was directly selected by the Zhengshitang because of his excellent grades. After working hard for several years, what he usually does the most is to assist in coordinating the military's logistical needs and making a preliminary budget for the military. So although this person is a civil servant, he is definitely no stranger to the military, and because he often deals with soldiers, he has a very generous temper.
Yingshui is at the forefront. The most important job of the county magistrate is to be able to take care of the logistics of the army once a war breaks out, so that the troops fighting ahead have no worries. Fang Shu is such a person The most suitable candidate.
As the first batch of talents cultivated by Jicheng Comprehensive University, they are also the reserve officials that the Han Dynasty focused on training. They are ready to be used. Naturally, this person has several talents. It also has its own unique set of techniques. I spent a long time with those treacherous bigwigs in the political affairs hall. This person is naturally proficient in all kinds of skills.
Fang Shu didn't simply sell the vast wasteland outside Yingshui City to merchants. He found a few business tycoons, and these people contributed capital and talents to form a semi-official and semi-private company. The new word "company" has been used by their king Gao Yuan for the first time in Procter & Gamble Co., Ltd. Now it is not something that people don't understand in Han country. In Han, this company and that company have become commonplace for Han people.
After the company called Hengan was formally established. Immediately, a large number of houses with uniform specifications and sizes were built outside Yingshui City, and then they were rented out to merchants for business. With the increasingly frequent exchanges between Yingshui and Yingchuan, it has formed the current scale. The rent here is also rising. Up to now, the rent of houses here is not much lower than that in Jicheng, and Hengan Company is naturally full of money. Naturally, the Yingshui county government made a fortune as a result.
The county government is very rich, so the money will naturally be spent, so in Yingshui, roads began to be built and hardened, and water conservancy projects were completed starting from Yingshui River. It flows to four villages and eight miles.
Yingshui County is the first county in the entire Han Dynasty to be completely exempted from agricultural tax. Of course, this is also the only special case in the whole country. It was Gao Yuan who specially approved it after receiving the memorial from Fang Shu, because Yingshui no longer cared about the taxes paid by the farmers. Unlike the most frontline people-friendly officials everywhere, without exception, who emphasized the farmers' grain output, Fang Shu took an unusual path from the beginning. In Yingshui County, the main agricultural product of the farmers is not grain. It's sparse vegetables, because of the rapid expansion of Yingshui County. The population is increasing rapidly, and the sales volume of vegetables and fish is increasing day by day, and the price is also rising all the way. Now Yingshui County, the army, merchants, and local aborigines have a combined population of more than 100,000. Compared with some counties and states in remote places The population is even larger. Naturally, the demand for vegetables and fish meat is astonishing.
The vegetables in Yingshui County not only supply the needs of Yingshui County, but also supply the people from the nominally enemy country on the opposite bank. Sparse, 70% to 80% are produced by Yingshui. Although the profit of this dish is not high, the loss is also large, but people can't stand it every day, the demand is astonishing, and the accumulated wealth is quite amazing, which is much higher than the income of growing grain.
The county government is rich, so it is naturally rich and powerful. Yingshui County, after creating many firsts in the innovation of governance policies, is also unconventional in terms of people's livelihood. It is the first to implement subsidies for the elderly in the whole Han country. Elderly people over the age of ten can receive one tael of silver per month, two taels of silver for those over seventy years old, and five taels of silver for those over eighty years old. As soon as this policy was introduced, there were voices of applause and doubts all over the country. Like Yingshui, because of a peculiar phenomenon that has caused the current prosperity, the money is inexhaustible. The Zhengshitang also had mixed opinions on the county magistrate who left from them, especially the last policy, which was finally finalized under Gao Yuan's insistence.
Fang Shu's cleverness lies in his excellent relationship with the military. Who is the supreme commander stationed in Yingshui? Ye Feng. Who is Ye Feng? That is the uncle of the country. Through this uncle of the country, many special policies have already been listened to by the heavens during the brewing stage. Ye Feng can't directly report to Gao Yuan, but he can send family letters to his sister. If he mentions these things in the family letter, Ye Jing'er will naturally tell Gao Yuan what is new, and let Gao Yuan calmly. The emperor directly knew some things at the bottom.
Gao Yuan is well aware of Fang Shu's small wrist, but he doesn't care about it. If an official doesn't have wrist, what can he do. And this Fang Shu was indeed a talent that surprised him. Sometimes Gao Yuan even wondered if this guy, like himself, had a soul from another world in his body. For many policies, Gao Yuan can find some distant and unfamiliar memories.
So Yingshui became Gao Yuan's experimental field, so he discussed Fang Shu's policies with Ye Jing'er consciously or unconsciously, and even put forward his own ideas, and these ideas passed through Ye Jing'er and Ye Feng's family. The letter reached Fang Shu's ears.
Fang Shu is a guy who is smarter than ordinary people. From this vague information, he accurately judged that the supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty not only did not object to these policies of his, but put forward some bolder ideas. , more pertinent suggestions, let him gradually improve his new policy in Yingshui County in the process of constant revision.
Fang Shu also seems to see a bright future for himself after implementing new policies again and again and making great achievements. Yingshui used to be Han, and it can be said to be an extremely poor place, but now, in terms of wealth, Yingshui is definitely one of the most powerful counties in Han.
As Yingshui County became more and more prosperous, a number of measures to benefit the people were carried out, and the population of many surrounding counties began to migrate to Yingshui. This also caused constant friction between Yingshui County and other surrounding counties. For Han, the large loss of population is the biggest problem. That county does not send people, especially the young and strong. Now that Yingshui is like this, everyone is scrambling to run here. Officials in other counties are all I got anxious, and at the most serious time, other counties sent their own county police to hunt down the local people who had run away. The lawsuit finally went from the county to the Zhengshitang. Fang Shu failed to please this time, and received After being severely reprimanded, he had to start to strengthen control in this area. It is not so easy to become a borrower in Yingshui County.
Of course, Fang Shu will never forget the original intention of Zhengshitang to send him to Yingshui. He has always spared no effort to support the army, especially when the head of the garrison is Ye Feng, which is his link to the palace of Jicheng. One of the most convenient passages in the city. Ye Feng's army lives here in permanent houses. The county government spent money to build reinforced concrete barracks in the army's garrison. The logistical support provided to the troops is always the best. The reason is that the county government, or local gentlemen and businessmen form a rewarding team to send food, vegetables, and pigs to the army. Therefore, Ye Feng's army will always be the best-lived and most well-fed army among the Han troops. .
Now Fang Shu is eyeing the Yingshui River flowing in Yingshui County. He plans to build a permanent embankment, and cast a concrete road on top of the embankment. Of course, build a bridge to connect the two banks. It is also one of his plans. Now, the embankment has been built, but the bridge has reached an impasse.
The businessman he contacted hit a hard nail at Tan Feng, which made Fang Shu very annoyed. Because of the existence of Yingshui, relying on the ferry on the pier is far from satisfying the commercial exchanges between the two sides of the strait, which naturally hinders his plan to make money. If there is a bridge ~IndoMTL.com~ not only can solve this problem, but also can collect He has already calculated the passing money. This business has not only lasted for a long time, but also has amazing profits.
For this matter, he discussed with Ye Feng for a long time, until Ye Feng thought that if there is a bridge or not, it will not have much impact on the possible war between the two sides. How to fight and how to fight. Ye Feng's conclusion was the reason why he finally made up his mind, but he couldn't make the decision on this matter, and he had to agree with the other side, but now it seems that there is not much hope, which makes Fang Shu very annoyed. You know, in order to contact Han Guo, a businessman with technology and money, he spent a lot of effort.
But what Fang Shu never imagined was that the idea of building a bridge on the Yingshui River was shattered, but this matter called Chu people. Looking at the letter in his hand, he knew that he really couldn't do this matter. Lord.
The bridge is built in front of my eyes, and many things I can control, but if I really want to go deep into the ground, it is not a trivial matter. The construction of a reinforced concrete bridge involves the latest road project in the Han Dynasty It's hard to say whether technology can go out, but faintly, he saw a road of wealth beckoning to him again, it would be a pity to let it go.
"Come here, please come and ask Mr. Ye over immediately." A subordinate official was summoned and ordered. It seems that Ye Feng should first inquire about the attitude of the king for such a major event. (to be continued)
