Chapter 57: Little Fans


After a while, the guards came back with the head to answer the question.

Wang Zhengyue was stunned with fright.

A timid soldier fainted and fell to the ground.

The government officials were also too frightened to move.

Sun Chuanting ordered the guards: "Sun San, you and Sun Si ride on horseback and call the county guards to let them see the consequences of going against me."

Then Wen Yan said to Wang Zhengyue: "If Wang Zhi County is not afraid of force and acts according to the emperor's strategy, I will reward you.

Continue to clean up the farmland, report anything to me, and I will make the decision for you."

Wang Zheng met him and killed a fifth-rank Qianhu while chatting and laughing.

He was so frightened that he came back to his senses.

When he heard the prefect praising him, he quickly said humbly: "It's all the prefect who made the arrangements properly.

The subordinates just followed orders."

Actions don’t count as merit.”

Everyone entered the county government office, and Wang Zhengyue officially began to report the situation.

He arranged for the boss and the county magistrate to promote crops.

He had already signed contracts with some big places, and 20% of the task should be completed.

The military camp The biggest obstacle to the cleanup was Chen Qianhu.

Now that the obstacle has been eliminated, the land clearing should be completed before next spring sowing.

Sun Chuanting was worried, so he went down to the military camp with Lu Xuan in person and inspected it carefully.

When he saw the hidden fields of the camp cleared by the county officials, he couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Now we are just cleaning up the military settlements, and we have discovered so many problems.

In fact, there are even more problems in civilian fields.

There were too many moths in the Ming Dynasty, so the court could not collect taxes or build troops.

How could a small slave-building company be so arrogant?

After two days of inspection in Ansai, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xuan turned to Baoan County with satisfaction.

It seems that the method of spreading the word to the county health offices is very effective.

The security magistrate said that there were still hundreds of households obstructing it a few days ago, but now they have obediently accepted the county government's inspection and withdrew from the over-occupied hidden fields.

However, the Magistrate of Baoan County raised two issues.

One was the problem of insufficient farmland.

Originally, the original number of farmlands for the guard station was enough, but due to the increase in remaining residents, one adult male could not be allocated fifty acres.

Another problem is that the cancellation of guard stations may lead to insufficient military strength.

When the guard was originally there, although he had little fighting power, there was still a tiger skin there, which could scare some people.

Now that the tiger skin is gone, if something happens, he may be caught off guard.

Sun Chuanting smiled: "These two issues are actually the same issue.

I was originally going to discuss it after cleaning up the military villages.

Now that you mentioned this matter, it means that this matter has affected the Qingtun.

It is because of my lack of consideration.

Two There are two methods.

One is to open up wasteland.

After the ownerless wasteland is reclaimed, no taxes will be paid for one year. .

One is to recruit soldiers.

The situation in each county is different.

I have asked Lu Tongsuan to set a number according to the population of each county.

Each county will recruit some soldiers, one to solve the problem of remaining soldiers in the fields, and the other to deter Xiaoxiao.

Send people to various counties to start recruiting now, and start training during the slack period.

Sun Chuanting gave a memorial to the emperor.

He first talked about the current situation, and then focused on two things.

One was the training problem after recruiting soldiers, mainly the lack of men.

The second issue is the whereabouts of sweet potatoes and potatoes after harvest.

After Zhu Youxiao received the memorial, he ordered several of Huiming's brothers to be transferred to Yan'an Prefecture as instructors to train local recruits.

As for the latter matter, because it was not urgent, Wei Zhongxian was asked to take charge and find someone to do it.

Make sweet potato vermicelli and potato vermicelli.

By the time the monks from Shaolin Temple came to Yan'an Prefecture, Sun Chuanting had recruited more than 5,000 soldiers.

He also followed Qi Jiguang's method in selecting his troops.

He did not want to be slick, but recruited strong and simple farmers.

Because the firearms at the guard station were old and unusable, the soldiers were only divided into two types: spear soldiers and shield soldiers.

According to the region, Sun Chuanting set up four training grounds, led by instructors, and trained every day.

In February of the first year of Tianqi, the clearing of Yan'an's farmland was finally completed.

A total of 300,000 acres of hidden fields were cleared, and 1.3 million acres of barren fields were reclaimed.

In the process, Sun Chuanting only killed five people in total, which was pretty good.

The promotion of new crops also went smoothly.

Sun Chuanting distributed seeds to counties for free, proposing that as long as the planting area was completed, the money from selling seeds in each county could be kept in the county.

This greatly stimulated the promotion enthusiasm of officials in various counties.

They went to the countryside to promote the yield and efficacy of sweet potatoes and potatoes.

Although the villagers may not believe it, signing a contract and guaranteeing to purchase the crops at a price made many people move.

After calculation, they found that it was more cost-effective than planting millet and wheat, so they enthusiastically bought the seeds, which led to people in some counties who wanted to buy seeds but could not get them.

After Sun Chuanting received the news, he couldn't help but sigh.

The emperor said that the role of money is infinite.

This sentence is really correct.

When did the county officials take the initiative to do things like this?

If the seed money could not be kept in the county, everyone would never be so enthusiastic about promoting it.

In September of the first year of Tianqi, Wei Zhongxian's confidant Li Yongzhen came to Yan'an Mansion with some eunuchs.

At this time, the young eunuch brought by Sun Chuanting had completed experiments and formulated crop cultivation management regulations, and was also under the jurisdiction of Li Yongzhen.

Li Yongzhen was originally responsible for supervising the construction of the three main halls.

After Zhu Youxiao stopped the reconstruction of the three main halls, Wei Zhongxian arranged for him to manage the fan production experiments.

He led people to conduct experiments with sweet potatoes and potatoes in Huangzhuang.

According to the method of making mung bean vermicelli, he quickly mastered the method of making sweet potatoes and potato vermicelli.

After repeated improvements, he was sent to Yan'an Prefecture to process the harvested sweet potatoes and potato vermicelli. potato.

As soon as Li Yongzhen arrived, he bought four large houses in Fushi County, Baoan County, Suidezhou County, and Shenmu County, all close to the grain depot, and then began to recruit workers.

After he completed these things, sweet potatoes and potatoes began to be harvested. .

Sun Chuanting began to purchase these two crops in large quantities at the originally agreed prices.

The weather in Yan'an Prefecture was good this year, and both crops achieved good harvests.

If Li Yongzhen had not brought him money, he would not have been able to harvest all the farmers.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes in hands.

Li Yongzhen was fully prepared and started making vermicelli as soon as the harvest was harvested.

After repeated experiments, the method of making vermicelli was determined to be really good, especially the sweet potato vermicelli, which is resistant to cooking and not easy to break.

It is slippery and elastic after being boiled.

It tastes great.

Li Yongzhen is a very business-savvy person.

He has set up sales points in the larger cities in Shaanxi Province to sell fans.

First, he supplied them to various restaurants and brothels.

The market soon opened up, and private households began to pay attention to this kind of fans.

New products were in short supply for a while, and Li Yongzhen quickly He quickly opened vermicelli factories in other counties and tried to supply goods to the capital and Nanzhili.

Soon the "delicious" brand vermicelli produced by the royal family became a hot commodity in the two capitals.

Excluding the labor and purchase costs of Sun Chuanting, this small Fans earned more than 1.2 million taels of silver in the first year of Tianqi
