5. Dredge rivers and swamps
Did Xiaopingta come to the beach in vain?
Of course not!
Of course it has a purpose!
Of course there is a big reason!
After finally getting from a 19-year-old teenager to a 24-year-old bald man, he has been entrusted with important tasks for so many years, and must make convincing achievements. The unique geographical location of the country of the Yangtze River is surrounded by mountains and seas. Some of them have a future for development. As long as you work hard, you will definitely get more rewards.
Farming and developing industries, and seeking capital.
Come from the land and go to the land!
The coastal beaches of Yuanzhou Beach are all salty fields that are continuously eroded by the Pacific seawater and cannot be cultivated. In addition to some of them being used as salt fields for salty salt, they cannot be planted (there seems to be a kind of crisp radish in Tianjin, my country, which can only be planted in such salty paddy fields, and I don’t know if it is true.) In large-scale abandonment, some places are bare and some places have sparse weeds. No matter how you look at it, they are all unusable mud flats and can only be abandoned in vain.
The second is the various seafood shellfish produced in Toruba Beach. Even in later Japan, Shizuoka Prefecture, which belongs to Toruba, is also a famous fishing base. Shizuoka Prefecture, which is the background of the Cherry Maruko animation, is still the seven major seaports in Japan. In just the Ejiri Port, the shellfish harvested daily are counted in tons. Ordinary shellfish breeds fast, and the current fishing methods and offshore ships are not very advanced. It can be said that shellfish resources seem to be inexhaustible.
In the past half a month, Koheita traveled all over Ejiri with a pair of iron feet. He witnessed the poor, hunger, cold, and food and clothing due to the years of flooding of the Tianlong River, the fishermen who were forced to go into the sea due to the invasion of the Pacific Ocean, and the military servants who went bankrupt and lost their family and father and son died of bankruptcy.
The life of the people is already very difficult, but there is no official who is good at governing the people. The samurai who is incompetent in governance can only sit back and see that Ejiri is becoming increasingly poor under natural disasters and man-made disasters. When the critical point is reached, the people will start to flee, and the offspring of the children will drown. In the end, the country is poor and the people will be poor, and all industries will wither.
The most typical example is the Uesugi Yonezawa family in the Edo period. The salary of the 6,000 samurai who passed down from the Kenshin period of the Uesugi period and the various expenses borne by the shogunate, completely crushed Yonezawa's finances. However, generations of vassal lords were not experts in governing the people. Finally, when Uesugi Takayama came to power, the entire vassal state destroyed the poor people, with a population of less than 100,000, and the countryside was unprecedentedly poor. The people fled collectively, and the population birth rate even rose negative.
This is the final result of making money without any reason and only knowing how to squeeze and force ordinary farmers. If one day the leader of the mountain becomes like this, then the disaster of the destruction of the country and the family will almost come.
Xiaoheita certainly would not sit idly by and watch such a terrifying situation happen. He wants to change Yuanjiang's poverty and make him the richest and most prosperous place on Tokaido.
Of course, this matter was not achieved overnight, and it required a comprehensive and detailed package. Xiaoheita's original intention was to make a little trick. Now that I saw this situation, after inspecting various resources, I decided to make a big one.
After all, Koheita has already understood the entire situation of Ejiri, including land population, castle, villages, and rice and wheat products. She already has an economic account of Ejiri in her heart, and she can use her own gold abacus to create a beautiful number.
Xiaoheita immediately sent Yoshimitsu Murakami to return to the mountain with his own handwritten letter, with only five words written on the letter.
"Three thousand guan, wait." (I, Xiaopingta, send money!)
Then Koheita immediately returned to Ejiri Castle to prepare tools, food and necessary start-up funds. After the spring plowing was completed, he recruited 2,000 strong men from the country as Ejiri Castle, and paid some of the money himself to start building the embankment along the Tianlong River.
The construction of the embankment has received strong support from the Chinese people in Ejiri. As the most important river in the Far River, the large-scale flooding has caused huge trouble and losses to these Chinese lords. Many of the land along the riverside on both sides of the river has become low-lying swamps that cannot be cultivated due to the frequent breach of the Tianlong River.
Xiaohei is not very prestige enough. After all, he is not very strict at the age of his life. He has to ask the familiar chief general of Ejiri Shin-Sheng-Zen-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi-Chi
Although these people occupy the swamps along the coast, they are useless. In fact, these swamps can theoretically be developed into high-quality paddy fields, but Tianlong River has been flooding for years, and even the best paddy fields cannot be cultivated. Some plots are even flooded twice a year, which is truly a plot that people and bitches dislike.
After confirming the ownership, Koheita transferred all the swamps that had been generated over the years to the direct territory of Yamauchi Yoshiji. Then, the small pieces of Shirakawa samurai confiscated under Yamauchi Yoshiji's name were transferred to the names of these Chinese masters. These small pieces of Shirakawa, which were originally produced thirty stones and fifty stones a year, were fragmented and had very high management costs. Now, they can get their loyalty and benefit without any expenses when they are given to the people of the country.
Later, Xiaopingtai took advantage of the renovation of the embankments to set up flood discharge outlets and water dikes on the dams and dikes near the river sections of these swamps, and actually turned these swamps into flood discharge areas. When the Chinese lords saw Xiaopingtai so "kind", they were all grateful. Not only did they not occupy their fertile fields, but they also exchanged their own good land for these worthless swamps, setting up water conservancy projects to benefit them.
The preparation of water conservancy projects does not require supervision from Xiaopinge. It is beneficial to the Chinese people and farmers. Everyone is very enthusiastic from top to bottom. Xiaopinge also paid 500 trump cards in advance to deduct Ejiri, who was going back to Yamauchi this year. I am sure that Yamauchi Yoshiji will believe that he will send the money.
Sure enough, seven or eight days later, dozens of Qi Ben carried their shoulders and rushed to Ejiri in a large cart.
What's even more terrifying is that Xiaoheita's ordinary letter of asking for money actually exploded a big fish. Yamauchi Yoshiji and Yamauchi Yoshikazuki and Yamauchi Yoshikazuki both rushed to Ejiri personally. When the two saw Xiaoheita who came to greet him, they didn't immediately ask Xiaoheita what she wanted to do. They just asked someone to hand over the 2,000 taels of gold and 1,000 taels of Yongle's money to Xiaoheita.
Xiaopingta welcomed the father and son into the city to live in the restaurant.
