Chapter seven hundred and seventy-two money and food department

The story is very simple, from a pair of men and women between two indigenous tribes. Perhaps tribes have had opposition, or perhaps tribes have lived in peace.

Nothing is important anymore. What is important is that the girl Maya's tribe has been long been in Zhao'an. He was the first tribe to be in Zhao'an after the troops from Zhu Cixuan's 12th Regiment Battalion entered Sichuan.

The raging bandits and frequent natural and man-made disasters caused the population of the Ming Dynasty to plummet. When Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan, it caused a large number of people to decrease in Sichuan's population.

Land has become the least scarce thing. In fact, land has never been scarce, and what is scarce is a promising and good official.

The Ming Dynasty originally had no shortage of good officials, and there were many good officials. However, with the corruption of the government, many honest officials were gradually squeezed out of the power class.

Those officials who were honest and brave in admonition were all excluded. At least there was a Hai Rui in the Jiajing era, but the Chongzhen era could not accommodate a clean official like Hai Rui.

Even if there is, it has been taken down long ago. Suppressing greed has become Zhu Cilang's next goal.

Maya and Abakan from another tribe, the tribe that captured Wangcai. Two young people from different tribes developed emotions during a hunt.

As the tribe moved, the two lost contact since then. However, when Wangcai took Abakan and others to visit the tribes in Zhao'an, the young men met.

Maya giggled and jumped, grabbed Abakan's hand and kept talking. Abakan smiled even more and couldn't stop, and her honest and simple face was full of love.

No one is willing to disturb this young couple in love. Everyone has been young and everyone has been impulsive.

Apart from the wealthy, Wangcai, who has a disability and ambition, has never experienced these things. However, he was still deeply moved. He didn't understand such love and wealth, but this atmosphere made him envious.

Maya said a lot, and most of the time it was Abakan who listened. Then, Abakan pointed at his companion and said something to Maya.

They speak local dialects and speak very fast. In Wangcai, it sounds like an alien language.

After talking for a long time, Abakan finally ran over with a smile. Abakan, who was running over, danced and looked excited. After a burst of excited gestures, the natives were stunned.

In Abakan's description, they knew that what Wangcai said was really right. It turned out that the imperial court's imperial edicts were true, and everything they saw in front of them would not lie.

Especially Maya, who is another indigenous tribe, is something that is truly revealed to them.

The court really gave them land and shared it according to the population. Each person distributed three acres of land and three acres. And it was encouraged to reclaim, and the land you reclaimed belonged to your private ones.

The land assigned to individuals by the imperial court is not allowed to be bought or sold, and it is all based on land deeds. The land you reclaim can be traded freely, but the land you reclaim does not have land deeds.

This ensures the farmers' enthusiasm for farming to the greatest extent, and also prevents land annexation to the greatest extent.

In addition, the Chengdu government office also established the Money and Grain Office, which is a separate department. The Money and Grain Office is not in charge of the financial Money and Grain Office in Sichuan, but is responsible for inspecting the land conditions of farmers and people in various places.

The Money and Grain Administration has great power, and they have conducted open and secret investigations everywhere. Once they find that someone annexes the land, the punishment for the large landlords and high-ranking officials and nobles who have annexed the land will be extremely severe. In serious cases, the whole family will be executed.

In Maya's chubby narrative and Abakan's excited retelling, the tense nerves of these natives immediately relaxed.

Then, the natives knelt down one after another, knelt at Wangcai's feet, and were convinced by him.

Another indigenous tribe was led by Zhao'an, and the indigenous tribe in Zhao'an was soon led by the clan leader to go down the mountain.

The patriarch gave the highest respect to Wangcai, and the court quickly resettled the indigenous tribe. A large amount of barren land needed to be reclaimed, and these indigenous people were the most diligent and capable.

Inside, all the farm tools that can be used such as hoes, iron rakes, plows, etc. were working hard on the land. The court also began to bring them a lot of grain to grow. With the popularity of crops, crops such as sweet potatoes were still not promoted to Sichuan after several years of development.

However, corn, a crop that is high in storage and yield and does not require strict land, is gradually developing towards the Sichuan Province of the Tianfu Kingdom.

As early as when Zhu Cilang occupied Sichuan, the corn seeds from Henan had been allocated to Sichuan. Although these indigenous people did not get much corn seeds, it would be popularized in a few years for the entire Sichuan land.

Sichuan has great differences in the east and west, and its terrain is complex and diverse. It is located in the transition zone of the first-level Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the third-level middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River among the three terrain of mainland China. The height difference is huge, and the terrain is characterized by high in the west and low in the east. It is composed of mountains, hills, plains, basins and plateaus. Sichuan Province has three major climates, namely the central subtropical humid climate of the Sichuan Basin, the mountain subtropical semi-humid climate in southwest Sichuan, and the alpine plateau in northwest Sichuan, with a pleasant climate.

This is also a high-yield area for crops, and the people here are hardworking and simple.

Human civilization began to appear in Sichuan 25,000 years ago, and in the late Neolithic Age, it formed a highly developed ancient Shu civilization represented by the Baodun culture, the Sanxingdui site, the Luojiaba site, and the Jinsha site. The ancient Shu civilization, the Chinese civilization, and the Liangzhu civilization were all known as the three ancient civilizations in China.

In the Ming Dynasty, Sichuan was one of the 13 national government departments. In addition to Sichuan and Chongqing, the jurisdiction also includes Zunyi City, Guizhou Province, northeastern Yunnan and northwest Guizhou. Its jurisdiction has reached the western Sichuan Plateau and Liangshan area. The government officials' yamen are stationed in Chengdu Prefecture. They have also set up garrisons in the western Sichuan Plateau area to conduct military camps.

However, after Zhang Xianzhong occupied Sichuan, the population of Sichuan has decreased sharply and was devastated after years of war. "Sichuan Tongzhi" records: "Shu has had many teeth since the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the fireworks have faded each other. After the wars in the late Ming Dynasty, Ding's mouth was as thin as the morning star."

As the birthplace of Taoism, the alchemy in Sichuan has also flourished. It is precisely because of this that gunpowder has been popularized. In the mining of saltpeter in Laojun Mountain, local people are already quite proficient in the refining technology of saltpeter.

It is precisely because of these pure saltpeter ores that when making gunpowder, there is a continuous stream of gunpowder to equip the army.

The army gradually began to replace the previous cold weapons, and even the army of most of the Liaodong Army was reorganized and equipped with flintlock rifles.

Before, they were envious and jealous of the flintlock rifle owned by the Hu Ben Army. Now most soldiers have also been assigned to the flintlock rifle, and the flintlock rifle has been further improved, and the shooting accuracy and the speed of loading ammunition have been improved.
