Enter the male channel to engage in infrastructure

The next day, at the court meeting, Lou Ling, Liang Pei, and the prefect of Longzhou elaborated on the current situation in the south based on their years of experience in governing the south.

Including economic, political, cultural and other aspects.

When the courtiers heard the words, they all had a heated discussion.

"The barbarians in the south are uneducated and uneducated. They are all uneducated people. This time they killed the court officials and attempted to rebel for independence. It is a cancer!"

"You can teach if you don't know how to be educated. I think the Banyan tribe is good. If you set them as an example, those who refuse to be disciplined will naturally be assimilated."

"It's been almost 200 years. Some tribes are just rotten wood. I think they should be expelled directly!"

"This has already been overcome, and more discipline is needed. Why do you need to be so extreme?"

All the ministers were arguing endlessly, and Lou Yu sat on top to watch the fun.

The Gyeongju Department officials knew that His Majesty had made up his mind at a glance, so he didn't participate in the quarrel, and even if he did, he would only prefer to continue to educate, rather than ignore it.

Based on what they know about His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely not give up on the south easily.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lou Yu stretched out his hand and pressed down, signaling for everyone to be quiet.

Guangde Hall immediately fell into silence.

Lou Yu asked calmly, "Fan Aiqing, what do you think?"

Fan Yusheng did his homework overnight, so he wasn't afraid at all.

He went out to salute and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the rebellion of the various tribes in the south, the lack of education is the second, and the key to survival is the difficulty."

The officials whispered again, why is it difficult to survive?Some tribes even have iron, how could they not survive?

Lou Yu said lightly, "Continue."

"Your Majesty, I consulted the enlightenment policy implemented by the imperial court back then, and based on the explanations of Her Royal Highness Princess Caichang, Liang Zhifu, and He Zhifu, I came to this conclusion."

Fan Yusheng talked eloquently: "There were two main policies back then. One was that the southern tribes retained their armed forces, and the imperial court divided the southern region into three prefectures, and built cities to send troops to garrison them; The hunting mode was changed to the half-till and half-hunt mode."

"Since they are given the fields to live on, why do they continue to return to the mountains?" Lou Yu asked.

Fan Yusheng said: "The first is the issue of farming technology, the second is the issue of imperial taxation, and the third is the issue of state governance."

"Tell me in detail."

"The tribes in the south are accustomed to hunting for a living, and they don't know much about how to grow crops. If there is no technical guidance, I am afraid that the food they have worked so hard to grow is not enough to make ends meet. On this basis, the court's taxes will inevitably become their burden. They are naturally dissatisfied with their current life when they don’t have to pay taxes. What’s more, most of the land in the three states is divided up by the rich and powerful, and the tribal people either choose to become tenant farmers of the landlords, or return to the mountains and forests to be free.”

His analysis was well-founded, and everyone nodded in agreement.

But the prefect of Longzhou said: "Fan Xiang, I think that there are landlords and tenant farmers in all parts of Dasheng, and that the southern tribal people's reluctance to become tenants is their own choice, and it has nothing to do with the governance of the state government?"

"If I remember correctly, Zhanzhou produces two crops of rice a year. Under such circumstances, why do the Ge people still rely on the mountains and forests? But if they have enough land to cultivate, they can feed their families. Fighting wild beasts in the mountains? Because all the fields reclaimed in Zhanzhou are occupied by tyrants, where do these tyrants come from? It is the family of officials who went to govern. He Zhifu, Liang Zhifu, my words are not aimed at you two, Please excuse me."

He Zhifu blushed, cupped his hands and said, "I'm a lower official, I'm sorry."

Liang Pei replied: "What Fan Xiang said just now, I agree with you very much. I have been an official in Zhanzhou for several years, and every time I see these situations, I feel powerless."

The officials who went to govern in the past took advantage of their official positions to grab benefits and became powerful and wealthy gentry in the south. After so many years, their roots were deep and leafy, and Liang Pei and the others were powerless.

All in all, the land in the south is still planted by the people of the Central Plains, and has nothing to do with those tribes.

But because the south is so remote that the imperial court cannot control it, the local tyrants have become more and more rampant over the years.

They gradually invaded the living space of the southern tribes, forcing them to retreat to the mountains.

For so many years, the grievances of the southern tribes have been accumulating in their hearts, and they finally saw the opportunity to break away from the control of the imperial court.

They had heard about the civil strife in the north, so they dared to take the opportunity to make trouble.In their cognition, the civil strife in the north will not be quelled for a few years, so they boldly confronted the government of the three states.

It was just a test at first, but when they found out that Liang Pei and others had asked for help from the court several times but had not responded, they became more courageous.

It's a pity that they didn't expect that Lou Yu would quell the civil strife with lightning speed and free up his hands to clean up the south.

It can be considered unlucky.

It is not clear who is right and who is wrong in this matter. The most important thing now is how to solve these problems.

Lou Yu asked with a smile, "I wonder if Fan Aiqing has a good plan?"

Fan Yusheng said: "I think that the land must be returned to the people. If the southern people want to take root in the land, they must benefit from the land."

"Fan Xiang, those lands are in the hands of powerful people, how can we get them to hand over the land?" Liang Pei asked.

He felt that Fan Yusheng's thinking was too naive.

"That's true." Prefect He also echoed.

Fan Yusheng was not afraid at all, he asked: "The thieves stole the stolen goods. Could it be that because they have been used for many years, can they become their property?"

"That's right." Yang Guanghuai nodded in agreement, "At that time, the policy of the imperial court was to reclaim and allocate an appropriate amount of land to all ethnic groups in the south, but the land was stolen by people using their power for personal gain, and the government registered and made books to turn those lands into legal land. Private property, but cannot cover up the fact of theft!"

Why are those landlords so arrogant?It is because their land rights are clearly recorded in the government documents, Liang Pei and others can't do anything about them.

The court doesn't care anymore, can they still manage it?

But looking at the current situation, Liang Pei's mood suddenly became agitated. It seemed that the imperial court was determined to clean up the south!

Lou Yu couldn't help laughing: "What Fan Aiqing and Mr. Yang said is so inspiring! If so, then trace the guilt and return the land to the people."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"However," Lou Yu changed the subject, "Although the south is remote, I think the south is rich in products. For example, iron mines in Pingzhou, rice in Zhanzhou, etc. The south has a vast water system and well-developed water transportation, so it is a good place."

The emperor said it was a good place, so it must be a good place!

After coming down to court, Lou Yu convened a meeting of relevant personnel in the Hall of Qinzheng to formulate a detailed plan on the governance of the south.

Everyone took notes with pens and paper.

It was the first time for Liang Pei to participate in such a meeting, and he felt quite novel and moved at the same time.

The south has always been a place that the imperial court was too lazy to take care of. I didn't expect His Majesty to pay so much attention to it.

"I plan to set up a temporary inspection team. The task is to go to the three southern states to investigate the encroachment on the people's fields. Who do you think is the most suitable leader of the inspection team?"

Fan Yusheng said: "This person must have nothing to do with the local tycoons, nor have any conflicts of interest, and his status should not be low."

"That's right," Lou Yu glanced across the faces of the crowd, "It's just that you are all important officials of the court, and now the court cannot do without you."

Fan Yusheng said: "Your Majesty, there is one person who can."

"Who?"

"King Cang."

Lou Yu's eyes lit up.

Firstly, Lou Wei is an aristocrat with a high status, no one would dare to provoke him; secondly, Lou Wei must be concerned about the imperial court and do his best; I was an ignorant teenager at the beginning.

Lou Yu was very relieved of him.

"Then appoint Cang Wang as the leader of the inspection team, and the rest of the team will be selected from the court."

In addition to the inspection team, Lou Yu also issued many government orders.

Organize an agricultural technology group to go to the south to teach the farming techniques of the various ethnic groups in the south; organize a medical group to go to the Wuta people in Pingzhou to find out the cause of malaria; organize a group of technical workers to go to Zhanzhou to expand the seaport, and recruit young people locally Strong workers.

And so on, and so on.

Everyone was stunned when they heard it.

Your Majesty's thoughts are much more thoughtful than theirs, and he has considered all aspects.

It was the first time Liang Pei was shocked, and after listening to it, he was completely overwhelmed.

"Also," Lou Yu turned to Lin Dajing, "The climate in the south is hot, and it can breed many melons and fruits that are not available in the north. When the agricultural team goes to investigate, you might as well pay more attention. If an orchard industrial chain can be formed, the melons and fruits can be sold. Giving to the north is also generating income for the people in the south.”

"But Your Majesty, the distance from south to north is too far, I'm afraid the melons and fruits will rot before they are transported to the north." Lin Dajing said.

Lou Yu said without thinking, "It can be preserved in ice."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Your Majesty, the climate in the south is hot, how to get ice?" Fan Yusheng couldn't help asking.

Lou Yu froze for a moment.

He suddenly remembered that at present, Dasheng is not able to produce a large amount of ice, and those who can afford ice in summer are noble families.

And these ices are often stored in winter.

Lou Yu said calmly, "You have to ask Daoist Yuan about this matter."

Generally speaking, it is impossible for those who engage in explosives not to know the effect of saltpeter.But sometimes, knowing is one thing and applying is another.

Fan Yusheng thought Daoist Yuan came up with something new, so he stopped asking.

"Besides, even if there is no ice, the pulp can be made into dried fruits and other foods, so that it can be stored." Lou Yu proposed another method.

He believes that people cannot always be confined to one path, wealth is created, it depends on the ability and courage.

Everyone was amazed: "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true!"

Under the efficient operation of the imperial court, various groups have completed their preparations and went to the south for investigation with decrees one after another.

Since Huo Yan returned to Beijing, all the tribes in the south fell into anxiety and confusion.

Except for the Rong people, the Ge and Wuta people were severely damaged, and the remaining young and strong became prisoners of the imperial army.

Having seen the fury of thunder from the imperial court, they no longer have the heart to resist.

Luo Yi healed his wounds and returned to the clan with Rong Shi.

It was winter, and the mountains and forests were very depressed. The tribesmen couldn't hunt prey, and the food in the tribe was not enough, so they had to go hungry from time to time.

They still have to wait for the court's trial.

How will the court treat them?What will be their future fate?

The days of waiting were tormenting, and even Patriarch Rong was a little impatient.

He brought Rong Shi to find Luo Yi.

"Ayi, it's been a month since Duke Ding returned to Beijing? I don't know how the court will deal with us. My heart is in a state of turmoil, and I can't sleep well every day. You should have met the current emperor, right? What the hell are we thinking?"

Rong Shi also said: "Can we live a peaceful life in the future?"

Luo Yi understood the worries of the grandfather and grandson very well, the might of the imperial army really frightened them.

Luo Yi laughed and said: "It will take time for the imperial court to formulate policies, and it will also take time for the decree to be passed on to us. Patriarchs and young patriarchs don't need to worry too much, the imperial court will not abandon us."

"Ah!" Patriarch Rong sighed vicissitudes of life.

He knew it was meaningless to worry about the sky, so he changed the subject and said, "What is Ayi's future plan?"

Luo Yi lowered his eyes and smiled, "I don't know either."

He remembered that the current Holy Majesty asked him to finish his work before he died.Perhaps, the day the decree arrives is the day of his death.

No one really wants to die.

Luo Yi was willing to sacrifice his life for the Luo family to be rehabilitated, but that was because he had no choice.

Now that the Luo family has been rehabilitated, and he has just narrowly escaped death, he is still reluctant to die.

He has been plagued by conspiracy and calculation for ten years, and he felt a kind of real peace when he returned to his ancestral home.

He likes it here.

Luo Yi could kill himself, but he still wanted to live a little longer and enjoy more peace before the decree came.

Rong Shi was keenly aware of his lonely look, and couldn't help frowning.

Is this man hiding any secrets?

Also, isn't he working for the court?It stands to reason that he has made meritorious service, why is he still in this dazed and unknown appearance?

Is there any unspeakable difficulty?

"If the imperial court allows us to live a stable life, I think the school in our clan can be reopened. You should be well educated and you can be a teacher in the school." Rong Shi suggested.

Hearing this, Patriarch Rong nodded happily: "This is good, this is good! Ayi, if you don't know where you are going in the future, you might as well stay in our clan. If you have any difficulties, everyone will help you. And you are knowledgeable and insightful. With you teaching your children to read, they may all be able to succeed in the future."

Knowing that they were concerned about him, Luo Yi couldn't help laughing, "If possible, I will consider it."

He said, looked at Rong Shi, and joked: "Thank you, Patriarch Rong Shao, for trusting me."

Rong Shi bent his knuckles and touched the tip of his nose, "It's all right, take a good rest."

The time has passed, and the year has passed in a blink of an eye.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Lou Yu officially changed his year name to Zhaoqing, and gave amnesty to the world.

On the fifteenth day of the first month of the first year of Zhaoqing, the imperial edict finally arrived in Sanzhou, followed by several investigation teams from the imperial court.

Luo Yi finally received the oral order to decide his fate.

The general idea of ​​the oral order is: Although the son of the Luo family aided the tyrant and abused him, he should have died for the crime, but he thought that he had contributed to the peace and neutrality in the south, and it coincided with the reform of the Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of a new one, and the amnesty of the world, so he was spared the death penalty and barred him from entering Beijing for life.

It was Liang Pei who passed the word of mouth.

After he delivered the oral order, he said to Luo Yi: "You saved the princess, which is regarded as a crime and meritorious service. Your Majesty pardons you from death. Your Majesty also said that you are originally from the Banyan nationality and have been influenced by the culture of the Central Plains. As a bridge of culture, if you can make contributions in educating the people in the future, maybe the imperial court can reward you."

Luo Yi's heart was hot, and mist gushed out of his eyes.

He kowtowed nine times, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sinners kowtow to thank Your Majesty for your grace! May my emperor's sun and moon prosper and live forever!"

Liang Pei couldn't help laughing.

After the yuan was changed, everyone gradually discovered that their emperor's actions became more and more vigorous, and the emperor's strength and coercion also broke out completely.

Especially in governing the South.

The action of the inspection team was strongly resisted by the local tyrants, but Huoyan still left thousands of imperial troops in the three southern states. Under the deterrence of the imperial army, the inspection team thoroughly investigated the evidence of these tyrants using their power for personal gain and froze their properties , Quickly reported to the court for trial.

In the process of enclosing the land, they inevitably clashed with the local tribes and ethnic groups. During the conflict, some people were injured or killed, and they were punished for several crimes.

Under the coercion of the imperial court, those powerful and powerful households died down and had to accept the reality.

Of course, Lou Yu would not be beaten to death with a single blow.

Some wealthy households bought the fields with their own ability, and these fields still belong to them.

The rest of the confiscated land will be re-measured and divided by the government, and the land will be distributed to those tribes according to the population of each state.

In addition, the agricultural technology team made a more scientific and reasonable plan for the southern field planting after inspection, such as farmland water conservancy, rice seed cultivation, farm tool improvement and so on.

The medical team went deep into the mountains, and under the power of the imperial court, the witch doctor was forced to tell the truth.

It turned out that they didn't know exactly how to treat malaria either.The inheritance of witch doctors of the Wuta tribe is passed on by word of mouth, and they don't have any medical classics.

According to legend, the ancestors of their Wuta tribe got malaria and had to leave the tribe. When they were thirsty, they saw a pool of still water by chance, drank the water in the pool, and waited to die by the pool.

Drink the water in the pool when you are thirsty, and eat the bark by the pool when you are hungry.

One day, a miracle happened, and his illness was cured!

The ancestors wept with joy, and regarded this pool as a spiritual pool, and the trees beside the pool as spiritual trees.

He returned to the family intact, and the people in the family were naturally very surprised.

The ancestors had already compiled the rhetoric, and when he was dying, he was enlightened by the gods and came back to life under the blessing of the gods.

He ruled the ethnic group with the power of the gods, and gradually expanded his power.Before he died, he told his successor the secret of the water pool, and in this way, it was passed down from generation to generation.

So every time someone asks for medical treatment, the witch doctors of the Wuta tribe will use the gods to cover up and treat the patients with pool water and tree bark.

This method has been used for many years, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and everyone attributes it to whether the gods are willing to bless.

Hearing the words, the medical team hurried to the water pool regardless of being speechless.

There are dense trees beside the water pool, but there is one kind of tree that is the most abundant.And this kind of tree, they have never seen it anywhere else.

Perhaps by a certain coincidence, the tree species fell on the land next to the water pool, gradually giving birth to patches of jungle.

This time the medical team was headed by Chen Xuanshen and Huo Qiong.The two have been with the army and did not go back to Beijing together. These days, they have inspected many places and found some special herbs, which they plan to take back for research.

The research on drugs that may treat malaria is a top priority.

While the medical team was reaping a lot, the artisan team was surveying and planning at Zhanzhou Seaport.

They had expanded the Cangzhou seaport and were very experienced in seaport expansion, and soon planned an extremely wide port for Zhanzhou.

Building a seaport requires materials and labor.

The materials are directly provided by the Gyeongju Industrial Zone. Large cargo ships depart from Cangzhou Port and arrive at Zhanzhou Port all the way, all in one step.

Labor is recruited locally.

There are so many young and strong laborers of the three ethnic groups, and now it is not the farming season, so they are idle when they are idle.

For the young and strong of the Rong nationality, the government paid salaries; because they participated in the rebellion, the young and strong of the Ge nationality were directly dragged to serve in corvee, and they were only given food and no money.

With the implementation of the imperial decree, all ethnic groups in the south have seen hope.

Rong Shi held a bunch of copper plates and pushed open the gate of Luo Yi's courtyard, and said with joy, "Luo Yi, I've made money!"

He took some young and strong members of his family to Zhanzhou to participate in the construction of the seaport. He worked for half a month and earned hundreds of dollars!

Luo Yi was sitting in the courtyard, holding an enlightenment textbook from Qingrong College.

This is an enlightenment book for Gyeongju students. It is not boring, it is very interesting, and it is very suitable for children to learn.

He raised his head and smiled, "Congratulations."

The sun shone on his delicate face, making him more elegant.

Rong Shi put the copper plate in his hand on the wooden pier and said, "Here you are!"

"What is this for?" Luo Yi asked in surprise.

Rong Shi turned his back and said: "The Clan Middle School will be reopened, you are the master of the school, this is your salary!"

"Really?" Luo Yi smiled and got up, "I'll ask the patriarch."

Rong Shi quickly pressed him down, frowned and said: "I am the young patriarch, so what I say counts!"

"I'm in the clan, I have money but I don't have anywhere to spend it." Luo Yi didn't intend to continue to expose him.

"It's okay, you keep it first," Rong Shi said with a high expression, "the clan will be able to get the land in a short time. I heard from the high officials of the imperial court that we can not only get the cultivated land, but also distribute it outside the mountains. When you get to the homestead, you can build a house to live in, and you don’t have to go back and forth across the mountains.”

Luo Yi: "So?"

"So if you keep the money, you will have a place to spend it when you move out!"

Luo Yi burst out laughing, and the warmth surged in his chest.

In Lou Yu's Anmin policy, there is a strict limit on the land that each household can own. That is to say, no matter how rich they are, they cannot arbitrarily occupy the land of the common people.

This is a policy for the three southern states, not the rest of the state capitals.

Although it was opposed by many people in the three prefectures, this was a special policy to solve the problem of the southern tribes going out of the mountains and settling down. It did not really touch the interests of the landlords, so there was basically no opposition from the court.

Anyway, the land in the south has nothing to do with the landlords in the north.

As for the iron mines of the Wuta tribe, it has been taken over by the Pingzhou government.The government confiscated the young and strong of the Wuta tribe for mining, and called blacksmiths to cast farm tools.

The ethnic groups who have been allocated land can rent or buy farm tools from the government.

The agricultural technology team spares no effort to teach the ethnic groups advanced farming techniques, and strives to enable them to be self-reliant.

The entire three southern states seemed to come alive suddenly.

Some young and strong tribes were originally enclosed in the mountains, with limited knowledge and no knowledge of the outside world, and lived in a daze every day.

Now that I have come into contact with the technicians sent by the imperial court, I can't help but be deeply touched and inspired, and gradually find a new direction in life.

Some people choose to farm steadily, some choose to become boatmen, some decide to read and write, and some decide to leave their homeland to broaden their horizons.

Policies cannot be implemented overnight, but the effects of policies are revealed bit by bit.

At the beginning of the first year of Zhaoqing, a glorious and prosperous age kicked off.
