Li Yujiao said: "I don't have such big ambitions. Besides, I may not be able to succeed. Maybe I can only give you some suggestions."

Jing Qishan has always supported her: "Madam, just give us your suggestions. Madam, you are well-informed and will definitely make it happen!"

"You just believe me?"

Jing Qishan asked back: "If I don't trust you, who else can I trust?"

……

Li Yujiao not only walked around the city, but also went to various villages in Qiu Ning City to understand the situation.

The village is also in ruins. Although many villagers who fled outside have returned, there is still a lot of work to be done. Crops need to be planted again and houses need to be repaired. Some powerful people are taking advantage of the situation and want to become the new landlords.

After returning to the house, Li Yujiao immediately pondered over ways to improve the situation.

Fortunately, she came from the 21st century, and in her time, there was also a reform that required a lot of work to be done.

She wrote a reform plan based on the history of that time.

First, for the homeless people in the city, we can't give out porridge at the city gate every day like Mrs. Song did in the past. That is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. We should let all the beggars and homeless people share the land and let them open up wasteland and grow food themselves.

Second, the landlords in the village must be supervised, and if there is any bullying, the land will be confiscated immediately.

Third, a notice was issued to call on local people who were living outside to come back. Even if they were not locals, they could apply for settlement, and the local government would reallocate houses and land to them.

Fourth, a charitable association was established, hoping that merchants from all over the country would donate money and materials to help the people of Qiu Ning and Huatai get through this difficult period. If they come to Qiu Ning to do business in the future, their taxes can be reduced.

When Li Yujiao showed her plan to Jing Qishan, Jing Qishan was silent.

"What's wrong? Is it inappropriate?" Li Yujiao asked.

But Jing Qishan then said: "There is nothing wrong with it. It is the county magistrate's job to revitalize the township and the country. I will call the county magistrate over to discuss it now."

The county magistrate, county assistant secretary, and county lieutenant of Qiu Ning and Hua Tai cities all came.

When these people saw Li Yujiao's plan, they were all shocked.

"Mrs. Jing means... to redistribute all the properties and land?"

Li Yujiao said: "Yes!"

"This is too difficult. After all, there are still many local landlords and local people. I'm afraid they won't agree."

Since independence, landlords and local lords have been the rulers of the lower classes of people.

Li Yujiao said: "If we allow them to oppress the people, their lives will continue to be miserable and they will never be able to rule their own country."

Qiu Ning County Magistrate said: "That's reasonable, but there is no such distribution method in the world. People are naturally divided into different levels."

Li Yujiao knew that it would be very difficult to make them transition from a feudal society to a communist society all at once.

She then instilled ideas in them from another perspective: "The border is different from other places. If the people in the border have their own land and can rule their own homes, they will work harder to protect their homes. If Xiling dares to invade again, then there will be no need for soldiers, they will fight against the Xiling army themselves.

Besides, if they manage their own land, won't they work harder to grow food? Will they grow more food? Then you only need to collect the public grain.

Moreover, if these people live a good life, will there be more people who want to surrender? If Qiu Ning and Hua Tai become prosperous, won't it be more beneficial to your political achievements? "

After hearing this, the county magistrate and county secretaries were all moved.

But they were still worried about one issue: "What if the gentry and landlords object?"

Jing Qishan said: "Don't worry about this. I will send some troops to reinforce you during this period. If you encounter any problems, you can use troops to suppress them at any time."

Li Yujiao glanced at Jing Qishan and felt excited again.

There have been many great figures in history. Although they have made many contributions and actively tried to seek benefits for the people, only a very small number of them really wanted to affect the interests of landlords and gentry.

Her series of reform measures would be considered as going against the will of heaven in ancient times, but Jing Qishan actually supported it with actions!

When Jing Qishan saw Li Yujiao looking at him, he secretly cast a wink at her.

Li Yujiao: …

Not moved at all!

……

With the support of Jing Qishan, the reform measures of Qiu Ning and Hua Tai began to be implemented.

Li Yujiao takes Li Zhongping out to check every day.

Since the announcement was made, many local people have indeed returned, and those who have received fields and houses are very happy.

Not only local people, but also people from other places who have lost their way in recent days have come here. They all want to start a new life in Qiuning and Huatai.

As long as they are good citizens, they can be accepted.

Of course, the landlord class jumped up in opposition, looking for opportunities to cause trouble every day and obstruct the farmers from farming.

But because Jing Qishan's troops came out to suppress the riot, gradually no one dared to cause trouble anymore.

spring.

It was the sowing season, and Li Yujiao also came to the fields.

She thought of when she was in the army, the local people planted hybrid rice, the yield of hybrid rice was more than eight times higher than that in ancient times, and generally one acre of land was enough to feed a family of ten for half a year.

She did not have the technology to grow hybrid rice and could only recall how people at that time grew rice.

In addition to fertilizing, pesticides are also sprayed to kill insects and weeds.

There was no fertilizer in that era, so she suggested that farmers use wood ash as fertilizer, and when the rice bloomed, use long ropes to tie the flowers to increase the rice yield.

When summer came, Jing Qishan stood on the ridge of the field and watched Li Yujiao pollinating the rice flowers with the local people in the field. The sun tanned her face red, and she didn't look like the wife of a high-ranking official at all.

But he smiled very dotingly.

Who says that the wife of a high-ranking official must never go out of the house and must live a life of luxury?

He just likes this unique woman in the world.

Especially when she saw him, she came out of the field with her skirt lifted up, her feet covered in mud.

"Why are you here?" Li Yujiao asked.

Jing Qishan said: "I was just passing by."

Li Yujiao was washing her feet in a stream beside the field. The rush of water immediately revealed her white and tender feet.

Then Jing Qishan would squat down to wipe the water off her feet and put on her shoes.

Li Yujiao said: "I can put it on by myself!"

"It's one thing for you to wear it, and it's another for me to wear it for you."

"You are a great general, how can you come to the field to wipe your wife's feet and put on her shoes? How can you be so arrogant?"

"You are the wife of a great general, and you come to the fields to play in the mud every day. How can you be so unreasonable?"

"I'm doing real work!"

"I'm doing something important, too!"

"I won't argue with you, I can't win you!"

"Then don't say anything and let your husband put on your shoes for you." As she spoke, her shoes had been put on.
