Luo Binglin, the governor of Yuzhou, had some impressions in Fu Xiaoguan's mind.
Because the six states of Beixiao were too barren, he was extremely interested in the six states of Beixiao and the five states of the Western Regions when he was in the palace.
This man came here from Yuzhou City, naturally because of the administrative issues in Siyang County.
It seems that this incognito patrol has been declared a failure. I am afraid that the entire Lower Sanzhou will know that I am in Siyang County.
It doesn't matter, I was going to stay in Siyang County for a while and had to wait for the arrival of the people from the Third Excalibur Army and the Academy of Sciences.
Of course, he also wanted to see how the officials in the court behaved when the two imperial edicts arrived at the palace.
Luo Binglin walked in frightened, and knelt down in front of Fu Xiaoguan with a bang, "Your Majesty, I, Luo Binglin, the magistrate of Yuzhou, come to see your Majesty!"
"Get up."
"I, I am guilty, I dare not get up!"
Fu Xiaoguan was happy and looked at Luo Binglin. This man's back was soaked. He was very pitiful. Am I that terrible?
"Tell me what crime you are guilty of?"
Luo Binglin said quickly: "Your Majesty, I am not strict with you, and I have allowed Bai Qiusheng, a pig and a dog, to cause trouble in Siyang County for four years. This is a crime of negligence, and I sincerely ask your Majesty to punish him!" ”
Fu Xiaoguan took a sip of the sour plum soup and said, "You know him very well...Get up, I have something to ask you."
This sentence sounded like music to Luo Binglin's ears. He knew that this critical first hurdle had been passed. As long as he responded appropriately, the official would be saved.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He stood respectfully in front of Fu Xiaoguan. Fu Xiaoguan pointed casually, "Sit down, standing on this hot day is tiring... Xiaoqi, give this Luo Zhizhou a bowl of sour plum soup to relieve his pain. Heat."
"Okay."
Luo Binglin was shocked, "I am scared!"
"Sit down... let me ask you, is there any iron ore in Yuzhou?"
Luo Binglin sat on the chair with half his buttocks, "Your Majesty, Chi County, more than five hundred miles east of Siyang County, mainly produces iron ore. Chi County is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there are two government iron ore deposits in it, but Due to transportation problems, the mining of these two mineral deposits is not intensive.”
This is good news. As long as there is iron ore, it will be easy to handle. The most used things by the Academy of Sciences are iron and other metals. This way, iron ingots can be avoided from being transported here from further places.
"According to Chixian county records, Chixian has huge iron ore deposits. The treasonous Zhou family once sent people to survey, but they also suffered from transportation problems and finally gave up."
Fu Xiaoguan nodded, "How do the conditions in Chi County compare with Siyang County?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the population of the two counties is similar, and Chi County has more farmland, mainly the black pool in Siyang County... That thing occupies a huge area, and the stench spreads so far away that the surrounding area Hundreds of miles are uninhabitable, and a large area is wasted.”
"What is the annual income of the people in Yuzhou now?"
Luo Binglin was silent for a moment, and replied with cupped hands: "I am ashamed, Your Majesty, the conditions in this place are really poor. The farmland can only be planted for one season, and the yield is extremely low. This year's spring plowing, the best Gaoyang County planting in Yuzhou The rice seeds planted by His Majesty are also planted with sweet potatoes. We have to wait until the autumn harvest to know how much the yield of these two sacred things can be achieved in Gaoyang County."
"Last year, His Majesty ordered the construction of a road network, and the roads between the three capitals of the Lower Three Prefectures were still under construction. The people who had leisure time in farming were invited to pay twenty cents per person according to the rules set by His Majesty. Farmers flocked to it, but they couldn't get so much labor, so they could only take people according to the requirement of one man per household."
"Nowadays, road construction is the main income of these people. As for the rest of the income, I dare not deceive Your Majesty. There is almost no income. Being able to have a full stomach is already the best situation."
After saying this, Luo Binglin was ready to be scolded by the emperor - usually, the emperor does not need such reasons, he just wants a result, and he will not care about any difficulties you have. .
Being able to be scolded by the emperor so that he could relieve his depression would probably make him feel like a fart.
In the midst of Luo Binglin's anxiety, he did not wait for Fu Xiaoguan to curse. Instead, he saw Fu Xiaoguan nodded slightly.
Then I heard Fu Xiaoguan say: "Well, what you said is true. I will leave you to do the next two things."
"Please give me your Majesty's orders!"
"The first thing is to gather workers to build the road to the mine. This road will be built to Siyang County. Let them prepare the roadbed first. I require that the roadbed be wide enough for three horses to pass in parallel."
Luo Binglin was startled, Your Majesty is going to start a mine?
"The second thing is to gather workers and build a wall a hundred miles away from the Black Pool to isolate the Black Pool. This wall can be an earthen wall, three feet wide and six feet high. It must be Tamp it down for me!”
"If you make a budget within ten days, the Ministry of Revenue will allocate special funds to you in Yuzhou. Remember, special funds can only be used for special purposes. If you dare to use a penny randomly, I will never forgive you!"
Luo Binglin hurriedly handed over his hands, "I will never touch a penny!"
This is a great thing!
Both of these projects are huge and require hundreds of thousands of laborers. There is not much farming now, and the farmers are more willing to earn the twenty cents a day.
In this way, the income of these farmers this year will increase a lot, and even if there is no project income next year, they will still have the capital to take care of the crops and raise the fragrant pigs.
He could guess why His Majesty built the road, but he couldn't understand why Your Majesty surrounded the black pool. He was probably afraid that the stench would spread to the city.
"By the way, I have appointed a county magistrate in Siyang County. It is the young man who just brought you in. His name is Jiang Shang. The official department will write a document for you. From now on, your documents will be given directly to him."
"Also, I want you to complete these two projects as quickly as possible. You can unite with the other two states and let them send workers. Don't worry about the project ending too quickly and the people under your rule losing income. ”
"Let me tell you something. After these two projects are completed, the people under your rule will have many more job opportunities. They will have endless things to do, and their income will be several times higher than what it is now!"
"I, I obey your order!"
Luo Binglin originally wanted to leave these two projects to the people under his rule, but now he had to give up this idea.
He didn't understand where the job opportunities were, and he thought that at most he would just dig mountains and mine.
"Where else can you find this kerosene in the six states of Beixiao?"
"Back to Your Majesty, there is only one here in Siyang County. The rest are recorded in Beixiao Chronicles. There was one in the history of Huangzhou in the upper three states, but the back is covered with yellow sand, so it may be difficult to find it."
It's a pity. I don't know what the oil reserves are in this place. I hope it is a huge oil field.
"Okay, you go back and prepare the budget and publicity first. Remember, as soon as the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs is received, the two projects must start at the same time!"
