www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
In May, it is early summer in Guanyun City, and the young wives have not yet changed into summer dresses, but in the lower three states of Beixiao, it seems that it has already entered midsummer.
This is Yuzhou in Xiasanzhou.
Nowadays, the huge six states of Beixiao have a population of more than 7 million, almost all of which are located in the lower three states.
The farmers who immigrated from the eight states in Southern Cang mainly gathered in Yuzhou. The land here can still be cultivated, and it is also the main grain production area of the six states in Beixiao.
The more than 400,000 disaster victims who immigrated from Wuyuan Prefecture are mainly concentrated in Yuezhou, where the environment is even worse, with less rainfall throughout the year and low crop yields.
As for the aborigines of the Lower Sanzhou, most of them are concentrated in Fengzhou, which is the best location in the Lower Sanzhou and the birthplace of the Qingjiang River Basin, with abundant water and grass. Most of these people are herdsmen, living in nomadic pastures. state.

"Your Majesty, the weather is too hot. Do you think we should stay in Siyang County in front of us and wait for our departure tomorrow morning?"
"Okay, let's rest for the night in Siyang County."
"Old slave, please tell Ning Siyan to go ahead and make arrangements."
After Jia Nanxing left, Dong Shulan fanned Fu Xiaoguan and was already dripping with sweat.
Fu Xiaoguan kept looking out the window. The hot sunshine was scorching the earth, and there was no wind at all.
This official road has not yet built the cement pavement he needs. The carriages run over it, raising yellow dust all over the sky, adding a touch of yellow to the scenery.
There are fields on the roadside with golden wheat, but the wheat ears are obviously half smaller than those in Xishan.
There are also rice seedlings planted in the fields, but they are alive. However, they are dying under the scorching sun. There is no spirit like the Mozhou rice seedlings.
When he was on Wofeng Road, he once talked with Zhuo Donglai about the situation in the Lower Sanzhou. Zhuo Donglai said that summer begins in April in that place, and summer ends in September and winter begins. Winter is extremely cold, and the weather is very cold. Snowy May... This place can be described as a bitter cold place.
Fu Wudai’s seeds have not yet been spread here, and sweet potatoes have not been planted here. So, do the people here have enough food for a year?
Back then, the fat man bought a large amount of fertile land from them and moved them to this miserable place. They were probably very complaining in their hearts.
After returning to the dynasty, separate policies must be formulated for the six states of Beixiao. Agricultural taxes in this place should be completely exempted, and compulsory education must be covered here as soon as possible.
The Ministry of Agriculture needs to set up an office here to plant Fu Liudai's rice seeds and sweet potatoes on this land as soon as possible so that farmers here can raise pigs and eat meat.
The Ministry of Water Resources also needs to send people here to survey and solve the basic farmland irrigation problem here.
There is also the construction of the road network here. It seems that more funds must be invested to build the road network here as soon as possible to facilitate the relocation of the heavy industry of the Wu Dynasty here.
Fu Xiaoguan was lost in thought. Dong Shulan felt a little heartbroken when she saw the solemn look on his brows. She thought that the joy on the face of the small landowner near Linjiang was getting less and less. This heavy burden must not bend his heart. waist.
……
A quaint city appeared in Fu Xiaoguan's sight. It had a low wall made of loess. There were no guards on the wall, only four disheveled guards standing crookedly at the gate.
When Fu Xiaoguan and his entourage came to the city gate, the guards looked at the three carriages, but they suddenly became energetic - yo, fat sheep!
"San'er, go and have a look. It costs three taels of silver to enter the city."
"What a grin!"
A guard who was about seventeen or eighteen years old stood up, pulled off his rather bulky uniform, touched the sword hanging on his waist and walked over.
"Stop, stop...!"
Fewer and fewer people come to Siyang City, and even merchants rarely come back.
They said that business is very good now and there is no need to sell goods to this crappy place like in the past.
The county elders in Siyang City receive generous salaries - I heard that the little emperor's ascension to the throne gave them an increase of two taels of silver per month!
But the soldiers of the Siyang County garrison cannot enjoy such treatment.
Guarding the city gates used to be the most difficult job to get, because the garrison master said that 80% of the city entry fees collected would be turned over, and the remaining 20% would be left to the brothers who were guarding the city.
In the past, Li San obviously would not have been able to get this job, but since the beginning of this year, the merchants have stopped coming, and the oil and water of guarding the city has directly turned into water. No one is willing to stupidly guard the city gate anymore—— With such a strong sun, wouldn't it be better to hide in the barracks and sleep?
Li San felt that he was very lucky. On the first day of his rotation to guard the city gate, he met the fat sheep - look at this handsome horse, or a two-horse carriage, and look at this Li San couldn't tell what material the carriage was made of, but he could tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.
Atmosphere!
Exquisite!
The workmanship is not comparable to those broken cars from merchants!
I don’t know where the big merchants came from. I heard that His Majesty is building a road here. I’m afraid that His Majesty also wants to develop these three states. If those big merchants get this business opportunity, come and see. Look it's very possible.
The carriage stopped at the city gate. Li San stood in front of Eunuch Jia and stretched out a hand: "According to the rules, a carriage costs one tael of silver to enter the city. You three taels of carriages need to pay three taels of silver." ”
Eunuch Jia was startled, "Brother... the entrance fee is a bit expensive. Besides, I heard that His Majesty has already issued a decree to the local governments and no one is allowed to collect the entrance fee anymore."
Li San opened his mouth in astonishment, "I haven't heard of it. I don't know if it's expensive or not, but that's the rule here."
Actually, the rules are not like this. There should have been a fee of ten cents to enter the city, but since Mr. Zhao said it was three taels of silver, it can only be the merchant who is unlucky.
"Come out with three taels of silver, and I will let you into the city. Otherwise, you will go back home. It will be very difficult for me to talk to you on this hot day."
Jia Nanxing laughed, "What if I don't give it?"
Li Sanyi was stunned. He had never heard of this before. You have already arrived at the gate of the city. Are you really going back home?
"If you don't give it... please go back."
"What if I have to enter this city?"
"Then take the money and don't worry about whether you have it or not."
Zhao De, who was hiding under the city wall, took a look and frowned, why was Li Saner so careless in doing things?
He walked over with a simple knife in his hand, raised his neck and looked at Eunuch Jia, he is a rich man!
The shirt he is wearing seems to be made of silk and satin, which is similar to the material of the clothes of our county elder.
"What's wrong?" He stared at Li San and asked.
"Boss, this old man said he would go to the city if he doesn't give me any money."
Zhao De spat "poof" and raised the knife in his hand, "Old man, either give me money or get out!"
The bad water in the poor countryside breeds unruly people!
Fu Xiaoguan, who was sitting in the carriage and stuck his head out, suddenly laughed.
