Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 2974 Hint

  Bai Shan also washed and leaned on the bed, “Brother Yang Xue always has to choose, not now, but also in the future.”

  He said: "The Jiangnan clan is too powerful, and the decree is unreasonable. Whether it is your majesty or the prince, they are all ambitious people. They will not endure it for too long."

"Moreover, the local tycoons are too powerful. Not only will the court be subject to restrictions, ordinary people will also find it difficult to get ahead and get rich." Within certain conditions, survival resources are limited. Is even less.

  Moreover, the other party is very powerful, and at the same time it can escape the taxes that should be given to the country. The country’s finances are poor, and in the end it can only be passed on to ordinary people.

Bai Shan, who has read many unofficial storybooks, has seen that several dynasties have died as a result. Although those dynasty changes seem to be fabricated and have never appeared in history, he just feels that what is written on it is true. of.

If the aristocratic families of the Great Jin Dynasty were not restrained, they would inevitably have the hidden danger of not being able to drop their tails.

  Not only aristocratic families, but also royal families...

  But the meal needs to be eaten one bite at a time, and the steps must be taken step by step. He does not want to think about things that are too high now. Just looking at the current situation, the salt tax in Jiangnan needs to be reorganized.

He said in a low voice, "I saw the papers handed over from all over Jiangnan when I was in Zhongshu Province. Last year, because of the preparations for the battle of East China, I also checked the treasury money of the transfer department on behalf of your Majesty. Among them, Jiangnan handed it in the previous year. The salt tax is only one-fifth of the receivable."

   Zhou Man opened his mouth in surprise, "So few?"

Bai Shandao: "The salt tax was in deficit. The Ministry of Households and Yushitai sent people to Jiangnan to investigate several times, but they could not find any actual evidence. They killed a few people and exiled a few officials, but they didn’t care about it. use."

"This is the salt tax that only came after the Yang family’s accident and your Majesty took over something from Yang’s hand. I heard that Jiangnan paid even less salt tax in the past few years. There are various excuses and it is difficult to make salt. , The population is small, the bittern is reduced, and there is loss during transportation, and bridges and roads have to be built. Anyway, they are losing money every year." He said: "Even though Yang Xuexi came from the Yang family, he hadn't been used to this for a long time. Your Majesty intends to cultivate him, and he must know these things, so he specifically mentioned him to go to Jiangnan."

   Zhou Man's voice was low: "I'm afraid that other families won't see him as a member of the Yang family, right?"

  "Not only the other families, but also the Yang clan, there are many different voices," Bai Shan said: "Destroying money is like killing parents. Those people have long regarded Jiangnan as something in their pocket, how can they easily hand it over?"

   Zhou Man only lowered his spirits for a while, lowered his voice and asked, “What can we do for Brother Yang?”

  Bai Shan also lowered his voice, “Build the salt field bigger and repair the ferry, so that the sea salt in Beihai County can reach every inch of land in Dajin unimpeded.”

  He said: "This is not only helping Yang Xuexiong, but also helping ourselves."

  Haiyan Heqing naturally requires the joint efforts of everyone. Yang Heshu alone is not enough. What Bai Shan and the others can do now is to pave his back road so that he will not be isolated and helpless in the south of the Yangtze River.

  Bai Shan sighed, “I don’t know if we can communicate safely when he goes to Jiangnan.”

   Zhou Man: "The prince must have a way."

  People are sent out by them, and they must ensure the security of communication.

  She thought of something, and quickly asked: “There are so many people who come to see the salt farm today. The salt drying law must not be kept secret. Isn’t your Royal Highness restricting it?”

Bai Shan leaned his hands on the back of his head and shook his legs and said: "His Royal Highness deliberately, even if someone deliberately travels to Jiangnan, it will not be easy for them to believe it. It will take at least half a year for Jiangnan to try it out, and it will take longer. Yes, maybe it's only two or three years away."

  He said: "Your Majesty and the Crown Prince are eager to see more and more salt fields, and there are more and more salt on the market."

They are not afraid of too much salt. They are only afraid of less salt. Things will only work after more. Anyway, the salt tax is now only one-fifth. The emperor and the prince are obviously happy to take out all the one-fifth. The great families in the south of the Yangtze River had a fun.

  Many people did not sleep well this night, but Zhou Man and Bai Shan relaxed a lot after chatting, and fell into a deep sleep after finishing the topic.

  Early the next morning, the prince went to the beach with Bai Shan and others.

  Although I looked at the sea from a distance yesterday, today I’m standing on the beach and letting the sea wash to my feet feels very different.

  Mingda put on a drapery and walked happily on the beach, not wanting to walk with these officials. Bai Erlang took her to play.

  The prince only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze. The two of them were here to play anyway, and he had already accepted this.

  Guo Cishi held the prince in his arms and asked with a smile: "Is it the first time for your Royal Highness to see the sea?"

   "No," the prince thought for a while and said: "It's the second time."

  He used to accompany the emperor to the beach once before, but at that time he was still young and didn't have much impression of the sea.

  The prince saw a boat on the sea, slightly narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is that a fisherman?"

   "Yes," Bai Shan said, "Xiaowa Village still focuses on fishing."

  The prince nodded and stood on the beach looking around. The coastline was indeed very long. Except for the mountains, it was a piece of wasteland. There were few people. Just as Bai Shan said, there were too few people.

  Bai Shan also secretly hinted that there are too few people here and there is an urgent need for population resources.

Originally, he thought it would be good to develop slowly. When his official salt is sold, and with the money, he can send people around to recruit refugees, and recruit the refugees from the outside to settle down. Although there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, the refugees outside are also Less, but certainly there are.

But after hearing that Yang Heshu was going to Jiangnan yesterday, Bai Shan felt that time was pressing a lot, so he kept talking next to the prince, implying: "The salt field needs the protection of soldiers, but you can't just have soldiers without people. Your Highness, if it's other places. There is too much population and there is no division of land. Why don't we migrate some people?"

  The prince was troubled and asked: "There is no field elsewhere, do you have it in Beihai County?"

  Bai Shan thought for a while and said: "There is still a squeeze."

In fact, Beihai County is sparsely populated and has a lot of wasteland. There is still a lot of land to open up wasteland. But the problem is that the land here is not very good. Even if it is opened, the planting value is not high. It often loses manpower, not even the seeds. The money may not be collected.

  But Bai Shan believes that the problem can come one by one. If there is not enough food, they can temporarily buy it from outside. The most important thing is that there are people first, and then slowly think about the ground.

  They have salt farms, and they can still feed many people.

   During this period of time, Zhou Man, who has also traveled through many places in Beihai County, said, “You can also grow some medicinal materials. Some areas are not suitable for growing food, but suitable for growing medicinal materials. Even the required years are long."

  Bai Shandao: “It’s okay, we are not short of time now, we are short of people.”

  After talking, he suggested to see the prince.

   Ning Yushi coughed heavily, and kept passing behind the two people, warning them to avoid slanders.

  　See you at seven in the evening
