Chapter 721 Grain Production and Population

Kesai came to visit.

A group of three people, hiding and shimmering, walked on the country road, walking on the paved stones from time to time, and poured a layer of earth-lime glutinous rice cake and other local method cement on the stones.

This makes the road have the appearance of cement and the hardness of stones. Although it is not very beautiful, it is stable and firm when walking on a cart. The key is to accelerate the speed of pedestrians running on the road, which is far faster than Dirt roads are much faster and much cleaner than dirt roads, because Daming does not have cars that weigh dozens of tons like later generations. Even if there are carriages for transportation, they will definitely not exceed a few tons in weight. As far as the road is concerned, it is more than enough. This is the change that Zhang Qiang brought to this era.

It can't be said how advanced or advanced it is, but it is absolutely convenient.

And with the increase of R&D personnel, it is mainly because the Huaxia Army has added other industry exams on the basis of the imperial examinations, 360 lines, and there are exams for all walks of life. Low-level personnel can get a government-certified industry qualification certificate. With these certificates, you can engage in research in related industries, and sell the research results to the government, and the government pays a certain amount of money to buy the research results.

This is the qualification certificate for all people in the industry. It is an honor to have this certificate, just like a scholar who has been admitted to Tongsheng. In the village, you can also get the reception of the village head, the head of the security, or the head of the township, and let everyone look at you highly. In these low-level administrative positions, you can also get a good income and a basic monthly salary.

People in the village read a letter, recognize a character, or build something, find an authority to authenticate it, and they will come to you, or the price of what you come up with is higher than the price of other people who have not been authenticated. I have to find you when dealing with the government.

Zhang Huangyan walked all the way, passing through the countryside, and learned about these things through the mouth of the young guide who led the way.

Low-level certification does not require you to be literate or have read books, as long as you can get something in the industry and get government approval.

And can get the qualification to go to adult night school for free. If you graduate from the night school, that is to say, you know ten Arabic numerals and more than one hundred characters, you can take the qualification certification level two examination.

These exams are all focused on industry leaders. If you can speak clearly about farm work and record it with the help of others, and if you can understand it yourself, you will be able to obtain a second-level qualification certification.

These people were all requisitioned by the government to help solve problems such as going to the countryside to count the amount of farmland, how much it produces, how much iron can be smelted, how much iron can be hammered in a day, whether some things made by carpenters meet the standards set by the government, and help the government solve the problems of contact with people in these industries. Task.

Of course, these people do not need to receive wages. They will be paid when they are requisitioned.Promote Jin Lin to lead the 11th Field Brigade, Ma Sanli to lead the 12th Field Brigade, Du Ge to lead the 6rd Field Brigade, He Jin to lead the 13th Field Brigade, and the remaining Field Brigade No. 13 Field Brigade to be transferred to the southwest of Guangzhou. Ma Han took over the No.[-] field brigade, and then transferred Feng Wuyu's second field brigade to the southwest defense line, and Feng Wuyu followed to the southwest defense line to take charge of the work there.

Xuanyuan Longfei was transferred to Wuchang Mansion, and the Fifth Field Brigade still followed.

Ruan Jin took over Ma Weixing's [-]th Field Brigade and was stationed in Anqing Prefecture. The generals were changed, but the soldiers of the [-]th Field Brigade did not move, and the station did not move.

The Ninth Field Brigade did not move, and the commander was replaced by Bagyalu. The Third Cavalry Brigade was transferred to the central Jinhua Mansion, and Wei Wuji personally took charge of it.

Ma Weiren, the commander of the Ninth Field Brigade, went to take over the No.18 Field Brigade and stationed in Hanyang Prefecture.

The No.20 Sixth Field Brigade was transferred from the Hubei battlefield to defend the Southern Ming Army in Shaoguan, Guangdong.

When you want to go one step further, the government has launched a three-level qualification certification. These people must be able to speak well and be able to count and write. These people are generally veterans or businessmen's buddies, old officials in the government, or have been famous for a long time Some of them are directly recruited by the government and given to a clerk. These clerks spend more than half of their time working in the government, and they are called the low-level clerks of the government.

They have no possibility of being promoted to government servants, but they can assist the government in doing things, even put forward some good suggestions, and develop good things. The government will sell their suggestions and research and development at a high price. This is the government's achievements. The civil servants above have to rely on them if they want to be promoted to higher-level section officials.

The fourth level is usually those who have read books and have profound attainments in the industry. They also have the heart of being an official. Members can be promoted to official positions, and can be promoted to positions such as clerks, document offices, book books, etc., which are equivalent to the assistants of township heads and town heads.

You Haibo’s Department of Officials, Zhang Huangyan’s Department of Household Affairs, Li Guangdi’s Department of Education and Administration, Xiao Dazhuang’s Department of Punishment, Qian Bingdeng’s Ministry of Rites, Zhang Mingzhen’s Ministry of Agriculture, Zhu Panpan’s Ministry of Industry and Commerce, Li Guo’s Ministry of War, Wan Siyuan’s Ministry of Industry, Zhang Liang’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Ministry of People’s Affairs Huang Tao, Wei Wuji of the Ministry of National Defense, Du Ge of the Supervision Department, and Milin of the Military Intelligence Department, all the departments are fully equipped.

Another: Director of Recruit Training, Tian Xian, Vice Minister of Military Intelligence Tian Bin

Members from all parties, Zhang Mingzhen from Zhejiang Province, Li Guangxiong from Fujian Province, Jinsheng from Guangxi Prefecture, Mi Chun from Jiangxi Prefecture, Tang Dianfeng from Huguangzhou Province, Gu Yuesheng from Hubei Province, Fang Yizhi from Henan Province, Qian Bingdeng from Yunnan and Guizhou Prefecture, Lin Chengcheng from Anhui Prefecture , Liu Liangzuo, Yunnan Prefecture, and Zhu Dayou, Governor of Baodao.

These people who can read books and study skills in various industries will eventually become deputy township heads, deputy mayors, or research officials. More senior officials can take the imperial examination and then enter a higher research institution.

This is Zhang Qiang cultivating talents for the few smart scientists in his hands.

We can’t always let Sebastian and Francois do research, they need helpers, and it’s too slow to rely on them to train some apprentices, which is not good for the technological development of the Huaxia Army, so Zhang Qiang has to find those folk talents from Huaxia Come out and send them to their research institute, let them learn while helping and inspiring the two of them, so as to speed up their development.

The new carriage was made under the inspiration of Zhang Qiang and with the help of old carpenters and blacksmiths.

At the same time, under the advice and promotion of a businessman or a treasurer-born researcher, he quickly entered the army and civilians of the Huaxia Army, and gained commercial and national interests.

Let the society promote its own development. Zhang Qiang is only a bystander and a guide. Otherwise, with his knowledge structure, insight, and historical knowledge, he will not be able to reach the level of other traversers in 100 years. years of development.

Chapter 722 Feng Quan Visits

The huge food production has basically solved the problem of food and clothing for the Huaxia Kingdom, which now controls a population of 5000 million. People began to think about other problems, the problem of survival.

It is a matter of survival. Only by working can one maintain one's current state of existence. The Huaxia Kingdom is rich now, so it cannot support idlers.

Many veterans need to be supported, many disabled people, many old people who have no ability to live need to be supported, many officials and soldiers need to be supported, but there are still many people who need to maintain themselves in the peaceful environment provided by the Huaxia Kingdom At least they will not be kicked out of the public housing provided by the Huaxia Kingdom.

In the past, because the Huaxia Kingdom wanted to have a larger population and expand its strength, each person was allocated two acres of basic land. He could also buy two acres and apply for another one. Each person had five acres of land, which was usually used to grow food. , to satisfy one's own rations for a year, and it is enough not to starve to death. The one acre of land applied for is to hand over [-]% of the food to the Huaxia Kingdom, which is equivalent to taxation.

It is equivalent to the farmland planted for the Huaxia Army. The Huaxia Army relies on [-]% of the grain output of this mu to maintain the operation of the government and the army. In the beginning, the insufficient food part even had to be smuggled from other kingdoms to maintain the kingdom’s food consumption. Now there is too much food to eat.

Society is always moving forward, and it cannot always stop at the point of starving people to death. When the conditions are good and they have enough food and clothing, they should consider earning more money by themselves and repay the houses and housing that the Huaxia Kingdom gave them free of charge. The money for the land is lost, and they need to serve in the military and corvee to pay back, but the Huaxia Kingdom does not have a family planning policy, so based on the current thinking of the people in the Huaxia Kingdom, there are seven or eight people in a family, and the number of sons and daughters reaches seven or eight. Well, these people don't have the right to share free houses anymore.

They have only two options: to immigrate and continue to obtain houses and land, or to serve in the military. The other option is to find work and save money to buy the main public house of the Huaxia Kingdom, or apply for land to build houses by themselves. , to buy houses built by merchants again.

It means that the first generation can share the house and land for free, the second generation needs to immigrate, serve in the military, take the official examination, the imperial examination, obtain fame, and become the winner of the unit housing, and the third generation needs to earn money to buy a house, of course. It is possible to implement the second-generation policy, but as the second-generation policy is more and more unified by the Huaxia Army, there are fewer and fewer places that need to be unified, fewer and fewer places that need to immigrate, and the official system is getting worse. Formally, they have fewer and fewer opportunities. Some people have limited ability and cannot meet the conditions, so they can only do hard work, tiring work, and earn money to buy a house.

Of course, China has not been completely unified yet, and the way from the second generation has not been blocked, and it can still solve the problems of most people.

However, there are still many people who cannot solve the problem due to the rapid population growth, so they need to work hard on their own.

Now these people are organized by Zhou Porridge, and they are all sent to the front of the fierce battle in Sishan Prefecture to establish settlements. There are about 2000 million of these people, enough to fill Sishan Prefecture. Judging from the productivity of this era, absolutely No one can solve the employment problem of these populations. They can only continue to expand their territory, let them serve as agricultural population, and occupy more territories to obtain their own shelter and solve their own survival problems. It is impossible for the Huaxia Army to support idlers of.

Due to the fighting between the Qing army and the Ming army, and the massacres during Zhang Xianzhong’s reign, many places in Sishan Prefecture became deserted. According to the information sent by Zhang Qiang, the population of Sishan Prefecture is definitely not 200 million, but later generations Where can we feed nearly 6000 million people? Sending 2000 million people in the past is more than enough in terms of current productivity. It can't be less or more. However, the Huaxia Kingdom needs to provide food in the first few years. Otherwise, from reclamation to sowing, to During the harvest time they are absolutely unable to support themselves.

A few days later, when Zhang Qiang was busy with this matter, Zhang Liang walked in, "Your Majesty, Feng Quan is here to visit. Do you think it is you or Prime Minister Zhou who is here to meet you?"

Zhang Qiang thought for a while, "Let me meet you, this old fox is not something ordinary people can handle."

In less than an hour, Feng Quan, dressed in a blue-gray robe, with his long hair tied up by a hairpin, and dressed like a Ming Dynasty person, came to see him.

"Criminal Feng Quan kowtows to Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." Feng Quan, with a look of sincerity and fear, knelt on the ground as soon as he met him, walked forward on his knees from the entrance of the main hall, then bowed his head to the ground and kowtowed.

"Forget it, get up, you know that our Huaxia Kingdom is not happy to kneel down, come here and give him a seat." Zhang Qiang waved his hand without interest. Zhang Qiang was very surprised by Feng Quan's appearance. I have seen this before, but since becoming a king, I have never enjoyed this kind of kneeling and prostration. Although it made him a little happy to be a real emperor, he is really not used to this kind of thing. Kind of, not how, but not used to it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Feng Quan stood up and carefully sat down next to the chair next to him.

It looks like a little old man with an inch-long gray beard. After all, it has been another 20 years. Since the two of them fought to the present, even the young Feng Quan should be 50 or 60 years old by now. Became a senior official in the Qing Dynasty, that old fox was not an old fox who had been up and down for decades. Zhang Qiang estimated that he was at least [-] years old.

"I'm very happy that you can come. I also really want to see what the opponents who have fought against me all these years look like. Today I finally saw a real person." Zhang Qiang sat on the table with an emperor's dignified look, and said leisurely.

"Your Majesty, this, I really have no choice but to oppose Your Majesty sincerely. My lords, if Your Majesty thinks that this humble minister is really unforgivable, I am willing to be punished by Your Majesty." He was also a little trembling. In fact, Zhang Qiang observed that this person really had no sincerity. He must know that since he was willing to meet him, he was sure that the current situation would not kill him.

"Forget it, don't talk about the past, have you already decided, or are you going to be a king of subjugation, and hope that the Huaxia Army will help you?" Zhang Qiang asked.

Feng Quan immediately knelt down, "I am sincerely willing to serve Your Majesty, please accept it, even if I am a servant who sweeps the floor, I am willing."

"Hehe, get up, I don't dare to let you sweep the floor, tell me, what does Kyushu Island look like today? What are you going to do?" Zhang Qiang got straight to the point, asking his courtiers.

Chapter 723 The Enemy Is Making Progress

Feng Quan got up, continued to sit on half a chair carefully and said: "Master Kong is now fighting the Japanese, the front is not strong enough, and the rear is unstable. Those Japanese were instigated by the original daimyo general, and they are showing signs of instability. Those recruited Han Chinese also fanned the flames and wanted to create something. At present, in Kagoshima, the officials have already killed and stabilized the situation. With the cooperation of General Zhao, basically there is no problem in Kagoshima and Nagasaki. "
