The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 430

Later, the government announced that if it was lost, it would cost one renminbi to redo it, and the serial number would have to be changed.

The people became careful not to lose it.

Then gradually the common people discovered that it is beneficial to have this thing in Dengzhou City, such as large-scale shops, local people can have priority with this steel plate, and priority over outsiders.

Buy salt and sugar, with this thing, limited discounts.

Because under Ding Yi's rule, there is a lot of salt, polysaccharides, and many shops in Dengzhou City are owned by him, so they all sell [-]% off.

Each steel plate is limited to [-]% off per catty per day, and if it exceeds one catty, it will be [-]% off if it is less than ten catties.

However, if it is found that it is lent to others, it will be severely punished.

For your own use at home, [-]% off every day is enough, and buying it every day is enough.

Dengzhou City didn't have a theater or a bathing city before, and Du Ruhai built one last year.

Local people have discounts with steel plates.

So after a year of implementation, the people in Dengzhou City now like steel plates very much. This is not only a symbol of the status of the people in Dengzhou, but also has a lot of discounts.

Outsiders know it and are envious.

After watching the meeting, Ding Yi asked, "Will someone steal the ID cards of the people in Dengzhou and pretend to be?"

If there is Houjin Xizuo coming, he will definitely do this.

"We have been recruiting since last year according to Lord Ding's request. Now there are only [-] yamen servants (captures) in the governor's yamen." Du Ruhai said: "Every two people are in charge of a piece of land, and everyone must know what they live in. People, there are several families, they often come to the door, and once there are strangers, they will definitely be found."

This is equivalent to the modern policemen and village captains, including the urban management, the urban management in the township, and the urban management in the city. Chu, often rushing to the door.

"This will cost a lot." Lu Chao snapped.

"It's still acceptable." Ding Yi smiled and said, "Are there 1000 officials in Dengzhou City now?"

Du Ruhai shook his head: "No, it's only over 800." Among them, the officials are all paid by the imperial court.

Ding Yi smiled. In later generations, an administrative career and financial support in Dengzhou City, at least 1, or even [-] people.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few officials in a county, but now Ding Yi has recruited a large number of officials, less than a thousand.

The main reason is that there are more arrests and more servants.

In this way, Ding Yi is in Dengzhou, plus the doctors, teachers, craftsmen, and officials here, there are now almost 1000 people who want Ding Yi to pay their salaries.

The annual expenditure needs 5 taels.

There are also Wang Weizhong's 20 soldiers (he only brought [-] to fight) and Yan Xiong's [-] soldiers. The salary and various military supplies and armor consume nearly [-] taels a year.

In addition, the annual salary and porridge expenditure for the drainage of victims has reached about 10 taels.

The annual expenditure for hoarding land and building castles reached 5 taels.

Don't tell me, I don't know, when Ding Yi came last time, Dengzhou's income and expenditure were still barely balanced.

In a blink of an eye, the expenditure in Dengzhou has reached 40 taels per year.

At this time, everyone had left the city gate and rode their horses to the western suburbs.

Along the way, you can see fields everywhere, and after walking less than a mile, you can see the newly built fort at the intersection not far ahead.

There are [-] hoarders in this fort, and [-] refugees nearby. It happened that they organized the rice roasting field today, and they were releasing water in the morning.

When they saw Du Ruhai and the others, they all knew each other, and shouted, "Du Shoubing."

"Hello, everyone." Du Ruhai's official position in the court was a guard. No one in Lushun called it that, but in Dengzhou, everyone still called it that.

"Mr. Ding." There were also sharp-eyed people who recognized Ding Yi.

When the first batch of fields were divided, Ding Yi came to preside over them.

"Master Chief Soldier." Many people knelt down one after another.

When Ding Yi first came here, he often said that we should not kneel in the future.

Both Lushun and Pidao are like this, but after so many years, he seems to have gradually forgotten about it.

"Get up, everyone." Ding Yi jumped off the horse and said kindly.

He has drawn several hoarders, and each of them would ask a few words: "Is the field here still fat? How is the yield?"

"Are you still used to it?"

"Is training hard?"

Everyone was chattering, some said that Du Shoubei provided cattle and seeds, and some people guided farming, which was very good, better than farming in the countryside before.

Some people said that Ding Zongbing, look, this year's growth is not bad.

Ding Yi's field farming is better than other places in Daming, because he and his staff are working hard on this matter. As long as there is no typhoon, the cold air will not kill the rice in Dengzhou.

After passing through this Tunbao, they headed west to search for Kouhua.

Only then did Ding Yi know that Kou Hua was also interested in farming. He was more interested in Ding Yi's people farming so well in Dengzhou, so he often came down to observe and study.

Civil officials at this time rarely had such enthusiasm for farming practice, unless Song Yingxing did research for writing books.

"Kou Hua also planted two acres of land himself, and said he wanted to compare with us, whoever has the highest yield, he must be on his own field now." Du Ruhai laughed.

"Oh, there are also civil servants who like to farm, which is rare." Ding Yijue's banditization is very interesting.

"My lord, do you want to get this person to Jeju Island?" Lu Chao smiled at this time.

In terms of doing this kind of thing, our brother Chao is a professional.

"What are you talking about, this is the court magistrate." Ding Yi said with a straight face.

Lu Chao didn't make a sound, just laughed dryly, and when Master Ding kept a straight face, he basically spoke ironically.

They quickly found Kou Hua, who was indeed on his own field.

The fields on his side have not been roasted yet, so the growth is a bit slow.

Seeing Ding Yi and Du Ruhai coming, Kou Hua quickly got up from the field, and Ding Yi realized that he rolled up his trouser legs, like a farmer, very down-to-earth.

"Deputy General Ding." Kou Hua was not polite, and Ding Yi could be called whatever his official position was.

"Koufu Zun." Ding Yi clasped his fists and said with a smile.

Kou Hua didn't expect Ding Yi to speak more politely than himself, he was stunned for a moment, and then greeted Du Ruhai and others.

"How is Mr. Kou's research, can this year's production surpass ours?" Du Ruhai laughed.

"It's too late to plant, I'm afraid it won't work." Kou Hua shook his head and said, "The wheat you planted in summer and the soybeans I planted are too late to harvest."

This Kouhua used to only plant for one season, but later he learned from Ding Yi's hoarding of fields. After watching Ding Yi plant two seasons, he planted soybeans.

Ding Yi laughed out loud, and Kou Hua's face turned red, not knowing why.

Then Ding Yi felt that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, my lord."

Then he turned to Du Ruhai with a stern face: "Didn't you tell Mr. Fu Zun that soybeans cannot be planted in rice fields?"

Du Ruhai's face was full of embarrassment.

"So that's the case, then I can't count myself as a loser." Kou Hua said happily.

"..." Ding Yi.

"Deputy General Ding, do you know how to farm?" Kou Hua also looked surprised.

"I don't understand, but some of my subordinates understand, and I've heard about it." Ding Yi said: "Soybeans are generally planted on mountainous land, on the edge of field ridges, which does not affect the output of rice fields, and also provides additional grain harvest."

In fact, Dengzhou and Lushun didn't grow much before, mainly because there were relatively few war horses. In this era, soybeans are very good for raising horses, cattle, and mules.

Now Ding Yi has a horse farm, and Jeju is planting it. What he wants from North Korea is also a lot of soybeans, and then Dengzhou can grow it on the ridges and mountains.

It can be used as horse feed.

"Deputy General Ding, you are really good." Kou Hua said from his heart, because he found out that Dengzhou, after various measures, Ding Yi made Dengzhou any state capital in the Ming Dynasty.

Among other things, at least the street is orderly, clean and tidy, everyone has something to eat, something to wear, and there are no beggars. This is probably the first prefecture that Kou Hua has seen in the Ming Dynasty without beggars.

But if he knew that beggars would be caught as refugees when they arrived in Dengzhou, he didn't know how he would feel.
