Walking through the dense ten-mile-long people's alleys, Lu Hanqiang really felt the simplicity of the people, you don't have to do too much for them, as long as a little bit, they will show all their sincerity to thank you, this is our people, this is our people.
After entering the city, of course, you have to eat first, there is a food called the reception banquet, of course, you have to eat a group of harmony, feel the enthusiasm of the gentry.
After the banquet, Lu Hanqiang was taken to the study of the government by Lu Huanzhi, this time, everyone present was all family members, Lu Huanzhi, Li Quanyou, Zhao Zi, Xu Jie, Chen Liang, Lao Zhenfu, and Lu Hanqiang sat around, and the little guys Zhao Xiao and Wang Jian were responsible for serving tea and pouring water, and at the same time did not let others approach.
Lu Hanqiang drank a bowl of sobering soup first, and then spoke: "According to common sense, I shouldn't come to Pinglu, because I don't want to leave a handle for the emperor and the bastards, but I really can't rest assured that I have worked so hard to create the foundation, and I miss my comrades-in-arms, so I still have to come." ” Lu Huanzhi nodded: "The court treats the virtuous and unfair, and the traitor is in charge, but there is no way, fortunately, the political envoy of Shanxi is Yao Tongxin, and I am also independent here, and the foundation is still in our hands, which is a blessing in misfortune." ” Li Quanyou, who resigned from the emperor's reward and was willing to be the governor of the Nansi Mansion, said with a smile: "Actually, you don't know, the old prefect, I heard that a group of self-righteous Donglin in the court have long coveted this foundation, but the emperor still understands things and does not give them this place where the displaced people are stable and harmful, so I kept this little thing, and I also came back for fear of something happening here." ” Lu Hanqiang nodded, although he didn't know much about the things in the court after he left, it should be like this in general.
"No matter what method we use, we must keep our foundation, and we can't let those so-called Donglin interfere, if they dare to put their hands in, then, I will cut off their claws at all costs, and make this place their fear."
When he said this, Lu Hanqiang's face was cold and terrifying, and everyone knew that Lu Hanqiang attached great importance to this.
But in the face of Lu Hanqiang, who suddenly became gloomy, everyone did not feel a little cold, because everyone knew that Lu Hanqiang took care of his family and cared for his calves.
Holding the tea bowl, he walked slowly in the middle of the ground: "There is also the problem of the development of Pinglu Province, our purpose is to use the sustainable way of development to provide disaster relief, now, the drought has not been alleviated, and the land of Shanxi is more chaotic, I think there will still be a large number of displaced people in the near future, therefore, the development of production, the stability of the people's hearts, disaster relief and rescue is still our heavy burden, therefore, I am ready to open a coke plant in the entire Pinglu Province, so that more displaced people can join the mining and coal mining industry, so that more coke can be exchanged for grain in the south." ” Li Quanyou nodded in agreement: "My lord, this year's summer grain harvest in the south is another bumper harvest, and the people are suffering from cheap grain and hurting the peasants, so we have not only saved the people in the northwest, but also saved the grain farmers in the south, which is a great merit." ” Now, cut off the profiteers' reselling of grain from Houjin and Mongolia, and there is a large amount of grain in the south and they are counting on Lu Hanqiang's way out here.
"Jianxian, Yao Tongxinbu's political envoy sent a letter, asking us to also release the refining of coke in other places, you see how to reply to this matter" Lu Huanzhi reminded Lu Hanqiang.
Lu Hanqiang thought for a while: "In order to ensure that we have sufficient funds in exchange for sufficient grain, we cannot announce the refining method of coke for the time being. ” In fact, it seems to be a paradox to say that if you don't let go of coke production, you can get more food, but that's the way it is.
The price of coke is actually not high, as long as it is released, mass production, the price between the industries will dive, now it is six taels of silver and one stone, that is to say, one stone of coke can be exchanged for six stones of brown rice, and once the price of coke dives, one stone of coke can only be exchanged for two stones of grain, then it will be a dead end, because it is impossible for the people in the south to exchange two stones of grain for one stone of coke, that can not be used up, therefore, it is necessary to maintain a certain high price.
"It's May, there is no rain yet, it may not be possible to grow wheat, but it is not good to always rely on grain from the south, we must carry out production to save ourselves, so I want to promote the cultivation of potatoes in Pinglu, this thing is cold and drought tolerant and high yield, and the requirements for the land are not high, although the taste is almost good, but as long as it can fill the stomach."
Lao Zhenfu frowned and said, "This potato promotion thing is not very easy to do. ” "Why" Lu Hanqiang asked the locals in wonder.
"Because Wei Zhongxian did this at the beginning, it made people angry."
"Is there anything else you say?"
asked Lu Hanqiang in confusion.
In Lu Hanqiang's cognition, the sweet potato promoted by Xu Guangqi at the beginning, that is, sweet potato, but the effect was not good, and then it was stopped, but I have never heard that Wei Zhongxian also promoted potatoes, which is really a strange news.
"Yes, at the beginning, Wei Zhongxian did his best to promote the cultivation of potatoes in Shanxi, Hebei and other places, but at that time, in order to please Wei Zhongxian, the local officials forced the people to plant potatoes no matter what plot, and the price of potato seeds was so high that people hanged themselves, and the output of an acre of land was not enough for half the price of seeds, and the government collected taxes, but it asked for silver and wheat and other grains, no one wanted potatoes, and as a result, the people only had potatoes, so hundreds of people went bankrupt, which happened just a few years ago.
Therefore, the people were resistant to the cultivation of the land. ” I really didn't expect that Wei Zhongxian, an old eunuch from a peasant, had really done some good things, but unfortunately, his subordinates were all guys who tended to be inflammatory, and good things became bad things, which seemed to be the same as Wang Anshi's implementation of the new law, which was originally a good thing, but in the hands of some officials with resistance, good things became bad things, which is the so-called man-made thing.
Lu Hanqiang said with a smile: "We don't use Wei Zhongxian's method to forcibly promote, we only call on everyone to do it voluntarily, and at the same time, we provide seeds for free, so I think it can be better." ” For potatoes, Lu Huanzhi still understands it, because he did it when he was the county order, and now that Lu Hanqiang has brought it up again, of course he is willing to support it, so he thought about it and suggested: "In fact, there is a good way to promote it quickly." ” "What way" t1706231537:
