?? Next to the farmland outside Xiyang City, Yuwen Wen is checking the situation of the official fields (中国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国国�

In the same field, 20% of the rice seeds used (rice seedlings are used to raise seedlings) are less than 10% of the grain planted. During the harvest, the state yamen organized people to watch, and everyone had confidence in this method of transplanting rice.

"Empress, I am willing to learn to cultivate seedlings. More and more people are planting seedlings. Next year, I am afraid that more than half of the farmers will take the initiative to plant seedlings." An official said happily. He was responsible for the management of the official fields. Now that the harvest has increased, his income has also increased.

"Teach people to raise seedlings. Are you ready for transplanting seedlings?" Yuwen Wen asked. It is natural to increase income by transplanting the seedlings. How to promote this method as soon as possible and improves income is imminent.

The official said that under the leadership of Xu Biejia, the prefecture yamen had organized people who had experience in transplanting rice seedlings in the official fields, and then specialized in planting seedlings under the guidance of Yang Sima, and the people would provide on-site guidance when planting rice.

"You go to the windmill workshop to pound rice. What do you think about pounding rice in the windmill?" Yuwen Wen asked again. His other focus was on pounding rice in the rice. It is crucial to use the windmill workshop he built solely.

"Empress, the windmill is really magical. As long as there is wind, it will keep pounding, saving a lot of manpower." The official was also very excited when talking about the windmill. "Half of the rice collected from the official fields is pounded with a windmill."

‘The premise is that there must be wind.’ Yuwen Wen thought so, but he still nodded calmly. There are two windmills outside Xiyang City. He has received a summary of the operation of these two windmills in advance. Now he wants to hear the feedback from third parties.

The windmill came in handy. The wind resources outside Xiyang City were OK. The two windmills had been operating for more than half a year, especially at the critical moment of autumn harvest. All the rice harvested from the farmland near Bahe City was solved by the windmills to solve the problem of pounding rice, saving a lot of manpower and time.

Of course, because it is all free, Yuwen Wenjian’s windmill invested no penny in the money invested. According to the situation of pounding rice this year, you can get the money back in two years after pounding rice for appropriate fees next year.

But he did not plan to build a windmill to pound rice, because there were more powerful watermills to pound rice. Bazhou has abundant water resources. The embankment on the south bank of Santai River is no longer afraid of heavy water during the rainy season. The state yamen decided to establish a watermill workshop along the river. The first ones to be put into use were hydraulic rice pounding machines and hydraulic mills.

Of course, windmills need to be built. The cost of windmills with simplified structure will be reduced a lot. Santai River embankment is gradually improved, and water accumulation in large areas of wasteland must be discharged. The windmill pumping water is just right for use. It can ensure that the newly reclaimed farmland in the wasteland will not be flooded.

"I thought those heavy rains would make everyone lose their harvest. Fortunately, the envoy organized manpower to repair the ditches and river embankments. After a year of hard work, I finally got the grain into the warehouse." The official was half complimenting and half sighing. Yuwen envoy ruled the prefecture a bit stricter, but many measures also benefited the people a lot.

Others also sighed that according to previous experience, it is inevitable that the harvest will be poor after these heavy rainstorms this year. It is also a blessing that a large number of prisoners were captured in the first half of the year as laborers, which did not affect farming and repaired the water conservancy facilities before the rainy season.

‘When the embankment on the north bank of Santai River is repaired next year, everyone will have a good life.’ Everyone thought in their hearts that this young Yuwen envoy was indeed a good move.

The two most important tasks of the state governor are to ensure the lease and settlement of litigation and mediation disputes. The former is the highlight of the income of the state government, and the latter is essential to maintain the peace and prosperity of the people in the state.

The officials thought that Yuwen Wen was young and easy to fool, but not only did he behave like a mirror, but his master Bo Zhengtong was also a wise master. Many family inheritance methods that deceived his superiors and subordinates were all invalid. These two fooled everyone like old cats so that they dared not do such dirty things.

Yuwen envoy judged cases like a god, eliminated the accumulated corruption and acted vigorously. Sima Yang Ji was very powerful in rectifying the state soldiers. Tian Yuansheng and others, who dared not accept it, were all over. They thought they were the officials to live in poverty, but good days followed.

Tian Yuansheng and others' property was confiscated and confiscated. The officials thought that the envoy Yuwen wanted to eat this time, but as a result, all the fields were given to the poor soldiers and people of the state, and even the officials at the bottom of the class.

As the saying goes, "there are short hands and the mouth is soft." The officials are respectful and afraid of Yuwen Wen. For example, the curfew in Xiyang City cannot be "not as usual" as usual at night, but the strictly enforced curfew also makes the thieves restrain themselves a lot. <>

People are relieved to sleep at home at night and will not be thieves, nor are they afraid of burning a large area of ​​houses when they are caught. The most important thing is to divide some land, and people's hearts are much more stable.

The clerks have always had a bad reputation. In the eyes of the people, they do all kinds of evil, but they don’t know that the clerks in the state yamen are also targeted by Shangguan. Just as the generals in the army treat military households as slaves, the clerks are also regarded as free labor by the bureaucrats.

Shangguan exploited the clerks, and the clerks transferred the burden to the people, one by one. As a result, Yuwen Wen quickly cut off the mess as soon as he came up. Those who dared to harm the people would be in trouble, and Shangguans no longer drove the clerks to be slaves and servants for no reason.

Taking official fields as an example, farming official fields produces rice for officials, which is the responsibility of many low-level officials, errands, and officials and servants. They have to pay more than half of the harvest they earn in a year. In this way, they are no different from tenant farmers.

If an official has something to do at home, he or she can let them do it with confidence. Of course, there is no salary. When he or she meets mean people, he or she has to bring his or her own dry food for two meals.

This is a rule passed down from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. There are not many governors like Yuwen Wen who only use their own servants, but there are too few.

Nowadays, there are mainly prisoners who work as hard laborers in Bazhou, and they share the power of many people. In addition, the master Bo Zhengtong is keeping a close eye on it, so the grassroots officials have no courage and no need to bury nails. Without these clerks, Yuwen Wen is able to implement various measures easily.

He walked around the official field and beat and encouraged a group of officials who were plowing the fields, including servants and officials. Yuwen Wen boarded the carriage and left, and received his salary in full. He was really relieved. As the saying goes, he was not panicked when he had food in his hand, and the expenses of the mansion were not lacking in his own salary.

The title of Xiyang County Duke is the rank of the 9th reign, with a salary of 10,000 stones, and he was taken from two thousand households in the fief; he was the governor of Bazhou, and was the governor of the seventh reign, with a salary of 6,000 stones, and he was paid by the official land.

Zhou State implemented the system of military names and sanguans. The court in Yecheng has already granted Yuwen Wen the military names and sanguans: military names are the general of chariots and sanguans, sanguans are the three sanguans, and sanguans are the regular attendants of the cavalry, and the ranks are all nine lives. Theoretically, the salary should be 10,000 s.

But this is useless. Salary depends on the rank and title of the official (official officials). The rank of the official is used to indicate that the official level does not have a real position. If there is no official, you can only rely on the title of the title to earn a fief. Just having a scattered official without a position and no title means that this 'official' is not favored by the superiors. How can you support the family and find a way for yourself?

Yuwen Wen's official title is very long, and his full name is "General of Cheqi, Yitong Sansi, Sanqi Changshi, Xiyang County Duke, and Bazhou Governor Yuwen Wen". However, those who can get salary are Xiyang County Duke (deputy) and Bazhou Governor (official). The rice delivered to the mansion one after another today is these two grades of rice: 16,000 stones.

This era was not the Song Dynasty where commerce was prosperous and coins were circulated everywhere, nor was it the Ming Dynasty where silver flowed in large quantities. The salaries of officials were distributed in corn, and sometimes there were physical items such as cloth.

Rice prices and cloth prices are prone to fluctuations, and only physical objects are hard currency to maintain value. As for the common heroes in martial arts novels, it is impossible for them to pay for money in this era.

Even the scope of application of copper coins is different. The hard currency in the areas north of the Yellow River is basically the main thing, while the south of the Yellow River, Guanlong and other places are money and things are mixed. The prosperity of commercial areas in Shu and the Yangtze River basins is mainly copper coins. However, whether it is the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the salaries of the government are all paid by rice to avoid inspiring the "official change".

Ten thousand stones, which seems to be a lot. The number of servants, guards, and craftsmen in Yuwen Wen’s mansion exceeded 600. Men and women averaged a month of rations per person, one stone and five dou of food. A year alone consumed nearly 11,000 stones of food.

It costs money to distribute the monthly money of servants, daily purchases, daily maintenance and repairs of the mansions, and the workshops also require money to do so. If the copper coins are not enough, they can sell rice for money. After all, these rice is not much more abundant.

The number of servants in his mansion is quite average, and the more important people pay attention to the fact that they often have several servants in their homes. The most important thing is that they do not embezzle, accept bribes, issue usury, and don’t make money on the people. In this way, the gray income is equivalent to not being there.

Yuwen Wen took office as the governor and had no private land except for that. At the beginning of the year, Tian Yuansheng and others were confiscated, and the land obtained was distributed to poor soldiers and people of the state. He made a lot of money in business, but after deducting the cost, a large part of it was taken to raise the Hulin Army.

The Hulin Army has 5,000 people. Because they are packed with food, the food consumes a lot of food, and they consume less than 10,000 stones per month. This consumption cannot be afforded by the Bazhou alone, and they have to spend money to buy grain from other places.

The monthly salary is no less than 5,000 guan. You also need to buy meat, vegetables and other side foods, armor, swords and guns, bows and arrows to repair, raise war horses and maintain military camps, and provide pensions for the fallen soldiers, and everything costs money.

Yuwen Wen did not drink military blood, nor did he owe to military pay and pensions. These were real expenses, and all were solved by his own funds and food. Only the pillar industry like glass mirror can support it.

Judging from the books, Yuwen Wen is profitable, but he is not much rich. Don’t think about the corrupt life of a wine pond and a meat forest. Fortunately, the official land has not failed to get any bad harvest this year. Otherwise, not only him, but even the officials in Bazhou would not be able to pay the full amount of money.

Since escaping from Chang'an two years ago, Yuwen Wen's land property has been reduced to zero. Before he became the governor of Bazhou, the salary of Xiyang County Duke was allocated by his father, which means that Yuwen Wen has been a dependent on his parents for a year.

Now he is the governor of Bazhou. According to the rules, there are official fields to provide rice, but official fields are not his private fields. As a county magistrate who should be "extravagant and extremely desire", it is too shabby to have no land under his name.

Of course, there is also a way to guarantee the guarantee. If it is ruthless enough, the amount of official land harvest will be increased to 80%, and his rice will increase significantly.

Then he was cursed in secret that the whole family would not die well. Yuwen Wen didn't want to be so unconventional, but he wanted to increase the harvest of the official fields and increase his income, so he started to think of tricks again.

"Ten thousand stones, if you want to increase your income, the land area cannot increase for a while, so you have to make a fuss about the output." Yu Wen Wen fell into deep thought.
