Chapter 208: Hands off the shopkeeper(2/2)
Considering the current situation, Xia Jing had the treasure left by Beidi, but the labor force was lacking, so she only temporarily suppressed the idea of paving all the streets and alleys into cement roads.
The cement factory was completed and the repair plans were carried out smoothly. Wei Dong turned around and devoted himself to land registration and re-measurement of the counties in the Gyeonggi region.
The most important thing is to check the population and distribution of the entire Gyeonggi region.
These things piled up together, causing him to go around, and he has not taken a break since taking over government affairs in the Gyeonggi area.
No wonder the princess was so tired that she left the government affairs to him. If Wei Dong didn't take advantage of the young, he would want to be the boss.
However, Xia Jing was quite conscientious. Before Wei Dong was so busy that she vomited blood, she sent Long Yutian, who had finished her logistics affairs, to help.
"The princess re-registered the fields in the Gyeonggi area, is it because she is sure that the powerful families will not come to Gyeonggi to claim them?"
Xia Jing looked at Wei Dong who was working hard and smiled: "The world is impermanent, how dare I be sure? I just prepare first. If the powerful family comes to claim it, as long as they can get the land deed, then what's wrong with giving it to them? As long as they pay taxes according to the number of land I registered every year, everything else is easy to say."
Long Yutian tskated, "No omission!"
According to the princess's intention, as long as the fields are re-registered, those who come to claim within one month will have relevant procedures and no one will be embarrassed. The procedures will be completed soon. In the future, they will pay taxes according to the current registered ones.
The one-month period has arrived and no one has come to claim it. Xia is planning to take it into state ownership.
It is said that it is state-owned, but the actual person in power must be Xia Jing himself. Otherwise, it will be state-owned but no one will supervise it, which will be like helping those corrupt officials work hard.
Now she kills two birds with one stone, and she still has a lot of money for nothing.
What a calculating thing!
"Now we don't consider the return of the powerful families. Let's talk about the population issues in the Gyeonggi region."
Long Yutian is known as Zhuge. He poured Xia Jing a cup of tea and continued: "The population in the Gyeonggi region is not a certain number, but it is estimated that the population will not be too large. What good strategies does the princess have to increase the population in the Gyeonggi region in a short period of time?"
Xia Jing also racked her brains to find a way to do this. After three years of disaster, the population of Dayu Dynasty dropped sharply, and it was not something you could increase in a short period of time.
The most direct impact of no population is that the fields are not cultivated, taxes are reduced, and even if you want to expand your team, you can't find anyone to join the army.
"There are two reasons for the loss of population in the Jingji area. One is that natural disasters and man-made disasters cause the population to migrate southward or die of illness and starvation; the other is that they are carried by the soldiers of the Beidi and taken to the grassland and become slaves to the grassland.
After going to the people in the south, we cannot force them to return to our hometown. Then we can only rob people from the northern grasslands. I just don’t know if you dare to go deep into the grasslands and go to the people of Beidi to build grass valleys?"
Long Yutian and Wei Dong looked at each other and saw the light in each other's eyes.
This is the light that prairie wolf only has when he sees his prey.
Sure enough, men are unwilling to be lonely!
Long Yutian suppressed his excitement and coughed twice: "Cough cough, it is dangerous to go deep into the grassland to fight. Since the princess has this idea, we have to make some preparations before the farming is over to ensure that our team has entered and how many people are still coming out!"
Reduce casualties.
Xia Jing nodded: "I will also send a letter to Jiankang. During our campaign in the grassland, we will let Jiankang station troops on the Yangzhou border to hold back the rebels and prevent them from taking advantage of the situation to capture the capital area!"
