Chapter 270 Operating Nanyang
In fact, as early as two years ago, Li Chengzong proposed to resign from the position of the chief magistrate on the grounds of being old and sick. Lin Chunhong disagreed and kept Li Chengzong to the present. He needed to make everyone believe that the chief magistrate could immediately open a position, and then take this opportunity to carefully observe the movements of the general managers to see who jumped the highest.
From the bottom of my heart, Lin Chunhong raised his hands to support the general managers in the competition for the position of the Pavilion Guard, but he had his personal likes and dislikes in the way of fighting. For example, Peng Xin tried to show his ability and govern Kuizhou to flourish, which Lin Chunhong admired. On the contrary, Peng Xin tried to fight through internal disputes and conspiracy to fight for it, and would definitely be disliked by Lin Chunhong.
The sound of the vacant wind that makes the cabinet curtain vacant is like putting a bunch of grass in front of a donkey pulling a mill, driving the managers from all walks of life to do their best. However, if the managers from all walks of life cannot eat grass, they will inevitably be discouraged and affect their work enthusiasm.
Lin Chunhong felt that it was time to re-appoint the envoy of the Pavilion. Lin Chunhong had long taken a fancy to Lu Shiming as the candidate to replace Li Chengzong. After Lu Shiming came to Jingzhou, he had almost never stayed in Jingzhou for long and had been fighting abroad, which was considered to be a great contribution. Moreover, after serving as the general manager of the Military Office, his work results were obvious to all, and he had a good reputation among the Jingzhou army.
As for what did the bunch of grass become after Lu Shiming replaced Li Chengzong?
Lin Chunhong's face showed a treacherous smile...
He had already planned to make Zhang Jief sound like a rumor, and said that the Pavilion's belongings were about to expand to eight people...
With a large number of wounded soldiers who were discharged from the army, the old soldiers entered various villages to organize archers. The Jingzhou Group gradually put the development of Nanyang and Yunyang on the agenda.
If you want to be rich, you should first build roads. This is the unchanging truth of Dangu. Therefore, Jingzhou Group invested huge amounts of money to recruit civilians, build roads everywhere, and renovate waterways. All roads are paved with three-dimensional soil. Although the cost is high, they are strong, durable, and have low maintenance costs. They can withstand the long-term crushing of four-wheeled carriages and ox carriages.
The construction of roads is not something that can be built just by thinking about it. As early as the seventh year of Chongzhen, Lin Chunhong ordered the Zhongshufu to organize scientific students from Xingzhishutang Museum to Nanyang to survey the terrain, plan the road network, and form a construction plan. The plan has been sleeping in Zhongshufu for a year, and today, it has finally been used.
Stimulated by the large-scale construction of roads, the lime kilns in Yunyang and Nanyang emerged like bamboo shoots after rain, becoming the first batch of workshops developed in the two places.
Waterway remediation is still the core, after all, this era is mainly water transportation. In Nanyang, Tanghe and Baihe are the center of improvement, the Tanghe River leads to Fangcheng, while Baihe connects to Nanzhao and is the mother river of Nanyang. In Yunyang, it is natural to remediate the Han River. The improvement of all waterways is mainly to improve navigation capacity and irrigation capacity. Not only do we dig deep waterways and build wharfs, but we also build a number of water-lifting water trucks to provide irrigation water sources for surrounding farmland.
Following the road rectification, mining is to open a mine.
Whether it is Yunyang or Nanyang, there are a large number of gold, silver ore, copper ore, and the Jingzhou Group, which has green eyes, can these gold and silver items sleep in the mountains?
As a result, the mining industry of Jingzhou Group ushered in a good opportunity for large-scale development. Countless populations spread to deep mountains and forests and engaged in mining. For thousands of years, the beautiful mountains were either bombed and burned to pieces, and the ugly ones were as ugly as they were.
Lin Chunhong also had no intention of protecting the environment and was responsible for his subordinates.
These are all later stories, so I won’t mention them for now. Let’s talk about Gao Yingxiang’s beheading, Bao Zhedong had already made plans to resign and return home, and even packed up his things. However, Lin Chunhong had not established the Nanyang tribe to seize the power of Nanyang Prefecture and began to develop Nanyang on a large scale. Bao Zhedong suddenly realized that Lin Chunhong hoped that he would stay in office and would be best to surrender to Jingzhou Group.
Bao Zhedong was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered the person to return to his original place and go to Lin Chunhong's residence to test his words, hoping to get his affirmative answer. Bao Zhedong has been an official for many years and is only in his fifties. It is impossible to say that he is not greedy for power and loving his position.
These days, it is extremely painful to serve as a local official in Henan and Shaanxi. If you are not lucky, you will either be cut off by the bandits or the court. Being able to serve as the prefect under the protection of the Jingzhou army is a good thing that you can't even ask for.
God will not take it, but it will be blamed!
As for the consequences that will be faced after joining the Jingzhou Group, Bao Zhedong couldn't care about it. After all, the Jingzhou Group is growing stronger and even the thief capital like Gao Yingxiang was cut off by the Jingzhou army. What would the court do to use it?
When Lin Chunhong saw Bao Zhedong, he could not know Bao Zhedong's purpose. He was overjoyed and said without even saying a single word, "Nanyang will depend on Duke Meng Xiang in the future!"
When Bao Zhedong heard his word "其", he couldn't tell whether it was joy or sorrow. Since then, he has no way to go. A big word "其" has been placed on his head, and he can't wash it off no matter what.
Bao Zhedong wanted to say a few words to express his loyalty, but he was not used to the change of identity and could not say anything. He stumbled a few times and did not say anything.
Lin Chunhong didn't mind at all, smiled slightly, and then said seriously: "Nanyang Mansion is not enough, and there are still some foodies who are eating and waiting to die. Duke Meng Xiang doesn't have to be polite to them, and drive them away immediately! If anyone is dissatisfied, let him come to me!"
Bao Zhedong's old face was blushing. Is Lin Chunhong saying that he was just waiting to die? He couldn't stand his face and defended in a low voice: "There are still some talents available in the palace, the states and counties..."
Lin Chunhong said: "This is reasonable. If there are no talented people like Duke Meng Xiang to support me, wouldn't it be a mess? If you should keep it, Duke Meng Xiang boldly uses it, but all the people who keep it will go to Xingzhishutang Political College for three months!"
After a pause, Lin Chunhong's tone suddenly became very serious, and said, "Donald Meng Xiang must beat them, be sure to let them know that I will not pursue any shameful things in the past. If there are still people who will face the wind from today, the dog-headed guillotine of the Jingzhou Supervision Office will be at any time!"
Bao Zhedong was startled and replied in a hurry: "I will definitely bring this to you!"
Lin Chunhong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help laughing. It seemed that Bao Zhedong was still afraid of toughness. Once he was tough, Bao Zhedong immediately completed the change of his identity and called himself a subordinate.
Lin Chunhong continued: "Nanyang lacks many institutions, such as the Finance Department, Security Department, etc. These institutions must be established one after another. I will send some people to assist Duke Meng Xiang. As for the personnel, if there are any people who are used by Duke Meng Xiang, they will use them. However, before using them, they must study at the School of Political Science for three months. If there is not enough staff, they will ask Zhu Mu Envoy, who is in charge of the lawsuit, and there are many people who are used by them there."
Bao Zhedong nodded constantly, satisfying Lin Chunhong. Finally, Lin Chunhong ordered: "If you want to do anything, just do it. Nanyang has many minerals, the land is fertile, and the trees and herbs in the mountains are also extremely rich. At least Duke Meng Xiang wants to seek welfare for the people of Nanyang..."
After saying that, Lin Chunhong picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and sent Bao Zhedong out of his residence...
After seeing off Bao Zhedong, Lin Chunhong was in a very good mood. Although Bao Zhedong's ability was definitely not suitable to take charge of a government, as the prefect, he would greatly reduce criticism from the government and the opposition and reduce the resistance of the gentry in Nanyang. This deal was absolutely worth it!
Bao Zhedong quickly completed the identity transformation, but for the bureaucrats and gentry in Nanyang, this identity transformation was really difficult.
When Gao Yingxiang was raging Nanyang, the vast number of gentry and bureaucrats were looking forward to the stars and the moon to expect the Jingzhou army to enter the country on a large scale, and cut Gao Yingxiang and other bandits into pieces. However, when Gao Yingxiang was chopped off his head and the bandits and bandits from all over the country disappeared, the eyes of bureaucrats and gentry looking at the garrisons in the territory became complicated and diverse.
Nanyang is close to Xiangyang, and a small number of gentry have long entered Jingzhou and Xiangyang to fully enjoy the benefits brought by the Jingzhou system and make a lot of profits. These gentry certainly welcomed the arrival of the Jingzhou army, and wished to turn Nanyang into Jingzhou overnight.
As for the land under his jurisdiction, Lin Chunhong wants to buy it or exchange it for a workshop, so be at will. Anyway, there is no harvest in these lands, so it is better to give Lin Chunhong a favor, so it is easier to talk to each other when we meet in the future.
After all, such gentry is a minority. Most of them are worried that Lin Chunhong would immediately forcefully redeem the land they had and hand over the workshop to them for management. After all, not every gentry can do the business. There are many bankrupt workshop owners in Jingzhou Group, and even a large number of beggars have become. How can they be as secure as land?
The gentry were very worried and frequently connected with each other. At least they discussed some regulations, hoping to make some transactions with Lin Chunhong, so that Lin Chunhong would not implement the policy of forcibly redeemed for the time being.
The gentry elected some respected representatives, found Bao Zhedong, and entrusted Bao Zhedong to convey it on their behalf that they could reduce the rent and tax, but hoped that Lin Chunhong would not touch their land!
After hearing this, Lin Chunhong couldn't help but be overjoyed. He had no intention of redeeming land in Nanyang. After all, he could not pay so much money now and could not provide so many workshops. Moreover, redeeming land is a major event that shakes the foundation of the gentry, and it will cause a violent rebound if you are not careful. At this critical moment of the struggle with the Donglin Party, it is better to give in first.
Unexpectedly, these gentry were so well-informed that they offered to reduce the rent and tax. Lin Chunhong replied in a hurry that the rent and tax must not exceed 35%. If anyone dares to exceed 35%, he will definitely confiscate all the land under his name!
The gentry temporarily put their hearts back on their stomachs.
However, Lin Chunhong did not promise to never move their land, so some visionary gentry began to turn their attention to the workshop, trying to open the workshop, and gradually get rid of the state of purely relying on the land to survive.
(Red tickets, red tickets, I want so many red tickets. I don’t say anything nonsense. I have more than 100 red tickets every day. Even if I’m busy with exams and interviews, I will add more! I can’t finish the essence, everyone is welcome to comment, and all are added)
