Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 178 One million taels!

After hearing this, the princess nodded again and again, with a smile on her lips: "In this way, the more land in the hands of the squire, the more grain taxes he has to pay. The more land in the hands of the big family, it can also contribute to our great Zhou. More food taxes!"

"But this only solves the problem of the gentry and the problem of the common people having no land, so what should we do?"

Qin Feng smiled and pointed around: "That's how it is done. People use households as units to reclaim land by themselves, and when they are reclaimed and registered in the government register, they can be recognized by the court and counted as official land. In this way, they will not have land ready to plant?"

"Here in this county, it is a pilot project. When the time is ripe, it can be extended to the whole country."

"It's not bad if it can be done like this. Qin Feng, I really didn't expect that you, a small county magistrate, can have such a great talent. It's really rare."

Qin Feng hurriedly bent over humbly: "Princess, you are too proud..."

"This, how can this be like this?"

The imperial envoy was in a hurry and muttered softly to the side.

If this is really done, the interests of the squires will not be guaranteed.

Qin Feng saw the appearance of the imperial envoy, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter, my lord imperial envoy, this move is of great benefit to the imperial court and the Great Zhou. Don't you want to see the prosperity of the Great Zhou and the full treasury?"

The imperial envoy's face changed dramatically: "Of course I would like to see me, Da Zhou, get better! What are you talking about, Mr. Qin! I just think... something is wrong."

Qin Feng smiled: "A certain county magistrate of Qin is just trying now. It is natural that there are some inadequacies. The next official provides a way of thinking and a direction. When His Majesty sees the problem, he will call the capable people to solve the problem. Shicha makes up for the omissions, if the imperial envoy has any ideas, you can also talk to His Majesty..."

"Qin Feng, you have done a good job. You write a memorial and write down everything you said and thought just now. I will present the memorial to the emperor for you!"

"Thank you, princess." Qin Feng bowed his waist and cupped his hands, saluting.

"Get up, it's a great fortune to have a pillar of talent like you."

The more the princess looked at Qin Feng, the more she felt satisfied. Not only was she young, but she was also handsome. The key was foresight, and there were so many wonderful things in her head.

Looking around, the princess saw a few fields that were wet, but none of the water carriers could be seen, she couldn't help but wondered: "Qin Feng, your fields are all on the mountains, so it may not be convenient for the common people to carry water for irrigation? "

The imperial envoy also discovered this problem, and felt that he had finally found the point of dissing Qin Feng: "Yes, I also discovered it. The water goes to the lower place, and the two days you are willing to drive out, it is just a show, and you can only plant it when the weather is good. If you meet When there is little rain, the land below the mountain can be watered to irrigate the fields, so what about your land above the mountain?"

Qin Feng laughed, and did not answer directly, but made a gesture of invitation to the princess: "Princess, Your Excellency, please come with me, Qin has something interesting for the two of you to watch, look at it, the two of you Doubts will be resolved.”

Qin Feng took the princess and the imperial envoy all the way to the top of the mountain along the stairs specially built for the convenience of farmers going up the mountain. The princess immediately heard the sound of splashing water.

"There is the sound of water? Could there be any stream on the top of this mountain? But this mountain...is not high, how is it possible?"

The princess looked at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng shook his head, did not answer, but said: "Princess, my lord, please look over there."

"what is that?"

Following the direction Qin Feng pointed, the princess and the imperial envoy saw a set of wooden instruments, which were strangely shaped like the things in Qin Feng's house.

There are handrails on it, and a rotatable shaft in the middle. There are things like grids on the shaft, and there are raised wooden boards on both sides.

There are two people stepping on the raised wooden plank, and when they step on it, the shaft will turn, driving the grille from below to above.

The most important thing is that these grids are filled with water. When the grids are turned over, the water will pour into the ditch in front of it, gurgling forward, and merge into a large hole on the top of the mountain. In the cistern.

There are gates on all sides of the reservoir, some of which are open, and the water flows down from the gates, just into the terraced fields below.

There are also sluice gates where the water flows in the terraced fields. When the water is full, it will be closed, and the water will continue to flow down to the lower level.

Dazhou has never had terraced fields, let alone waterwheels.

The princess's eyes were shining, and she pointed at the water wheel like a child: "What is that? It's so fun! Can I try it?"

"Naturally."

Qin Feng nodded.

The imperial envoy's face changed, and the princess ran to the waterwheel before he could stop him. He could only shout: "Princess, be careful!"

Although Qin Feng's waterwheel was designed by himself, he and Wan Kunming adjusted it many times, and the safety and efficiency have been perfected.

The people in the sleeping car didn't know the princess, but they knew that she must be a big person from the gorgeous clothes. As soon as the princess said, they got off and carefully helped her onto the water cart.

She tried to step on it, and when the water wheel moved, she burst into joy: "It's moving! This thing is so fun! Qin Feng, what is this thing called?"

"This thing is called a waterwheel."

"I want it!"

Qin Feng was taken aback, walked up to the princess with a wry smile and said: "This... Your Highness, Your Highness wants to go with this thing, and there is no place to store it. Besides, this thing is not easy to transport, or..."

"10 taels!"

"It's not about money or not..."

"20 million!"

"I asked someone to make a new one for the princess."

"30! I want this!"

Qin Feng clenched his fists and said: "Okay! But princess, is there such a mountain in the palace? Made it for you, where is it installed?"

The princess kept on stepping, thought for a while, and said: "Then don't put it in the palace, just put it here, but... this waterwheel belongs to my palace!"

"Uh, since that's the case, then Wei Chen asked someone to mark on the water wheel that the water wheel belongs to the princess. The farmers who use the water wheel to work are also working for the princess. The water for the terraced fields on the hill , it’s all on the princess’ head, and Her Highness the princess has personally benefited the people, how about this?”

Qin Feng asked tentatively.

"Very good."

"That's it!" Qin Feng clapped his hands and applauded.

This princess looks beautiful, smart and clever, and she is so easy to coax.

Isn't this the same as spending 30 taels of silver to engrave a name?
Rich people really have a lot of stupid children.

Just as Qin Feng was thinking so, the princess jumped down, picked Qin Feng's chin, put her face in front of Qin Feng, and said in a low voice: "Qin Feng, don't be an idiot, I just give money, Spend it on the things you like. Do you... understand my intentions?"

Her fingers were light white, smooth and soft, Qin Feng felt a little overwhelmed by this pick, and his mind went blank. He replied mechanically: "Uh, it's clear...it's clear..."

"Just be clear."
