Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 598
Change does not happen overnight. It needs a stage to carry on to the next stage. During this period, a little change in small steps, and the corresponding impact caused by moving towards a good trend can be called a good change.

"Governor Yuan, the shipbuilding industry in the coastal area of ​​Denglai, which is planned to be established, can have a prosperous trend today, and it is inseparable from the support of you, the governor of Shandong."

Xu Guangqi smiled, looked at Yuan Keli who was accompanying him, and said in praise: "After carefully reading the letter written by Chuyang earlier, I feel very relieved.

Daming can have one more center of gravity in the shipbuilding field after Zhili Prefecture in Tianjin. Whether it is aligned with His Majesty's pan-Liaodong strategy, or to open up the sea and trade with His Majesty, there are many benefits.

In the turmoil that happened in the Liao region in the past, Daming was able to recover the entire western Liaoning from the Jianlu Eight Banners, and let Jianlu lose the three guards in the south of Liaoning, which is enough to test the importance of the pan-Liaodong strategy. "

"Old Xu Ge, Denglai can make today's changes, I dare not take the credit for it alone."

Yuan Keli smiled and waved his hands and said: "The support you mentioned is just a matter of duty, and it is Governor Sun who really contributes to the governance and development of Denglai.

to be frank.

Previously, Governor Sun had successively planned to build more than ten shipyards in the coastal area of ​​Denglai. The old man was also very worried, for fear that he would take too many steps and make mistakes easily.

After all, in this place in Shandong, it looks calm on the surface, but in fact, there are many vested groups who secretly carry out smuggling and sea trade. "

Xu Guangqi nodded his approval when he heard the words.

Surrounded by the sea on three sides, Shandong is located in a special geographical location. Commodities such as cotton and salt are of high quality and low price. Some people who want to earn high prices will achieve their dreams in other ways.

"However, with the opening of the sea in Tianjin, more significant results have been achieved, and many people in Shandong, especially Denglai, want to participate in the opening of the sea."

Yuan Keli continued: "It's just Tianjin's opening of the sea to trade has caused many turmoil between the government and the opposition. If there is another such area, the turmoil will only intensify.

One is demand and the other is influence.

Faced with this relatively special situation, Governor Sun Yu Denglai proposed a relatively compromise strategy to strengthen the weight of the shipbuilding industry under Denglai’s rule, make up for Tianjin’s own shortcomings in opening sea and trade, and at the same time create thirteen lines in Denglai. Clarify Denglai's domestic air trade with Liao and Tianjin.

Through such a form, to gather groups under the rule of Denglai, and even from various prefectures and counties in Shandong, to gather in Denglai to get involved in the shipbuilding industry. "

"This form can indeed solve many problems."

Xu Guangqi nodded in approval and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and has long seen that Daming owes a lot in maritime trade, especially the corresponding taxes involved.

It is also clear that under the rule of the Jiangnan provinces, there used to be relatively serious smuggling and sea trade, so the evacuation of Tianjin and the establishment of prefectures were used to gradually solve the problem.

The things Chu Yang did in Denglai certainly solved many practical problems, but without Governor Yuan at the helm, it might not be as smooth as it is now. "

Yuan Keli felt emotional in his heart.

Xu Guangqi knew what was going on when he said these words. Shandong was special in Daming, not only geographically, but also politically.

A Yanshenggong mansion is enough to highlight this particularity.

Some of the things that Sun Yuanhua did under the rule of the Denglai two prefectures touched the vested interests of some groups, which made him have a bad reputation in Shandong.

A literati's mouth can kill.

The mouth of a literati can kill the heart.

The fault is not due to Yuan Keli, the governor of Shandong, who stood firmly behind Sun Yuanhua and organized many banquets to solve the problem in a targeted manner. It is hard to say whether Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, can continue to do so. .

"Don't mention the past."

Yuan Keli sighed softly: "At present, Daming seems to be quite stable, but in fact there are also many problems, just the annual land tax collection, there are many problems.

Elder Xu Ge came to Shandong this time to investigate the disaster relief matters in Shandong over the years, and indeed he was able to find out many problems, and he was also able to check some people's stolen income.

But this can't solve the problem after all.

At present, it is only my Shandong Disaster Relief Administration, the group of bankrupt groups gathered, the extra food consumed every month is not a small amount. "

"It is indeed not easy to effectively solve the ration problem."

Xu Guangqi nodded slightly and said: "However, it is not impossible to solve the problem. Does Governor Yuan still have any impression of the agricultural science team that rushed to Shandong earlier?"

"Of course I have an impression."

Yuan Keli said with a smile: "Old Xu Ge led the agricultural department, and the group of people sent to Shandong came up and asked Ben Fu for a lot of official land in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Shandong, saying that they wanted to try growing potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn. Waiting for improved crops, but Ben Fu was a little confused.

The place we are going now is one of the trial planting official fields. If Ben Fu guessed correctly, the scale should be 37 mu, which is a high-quality irrigated land. "

"good."

Xu Guangqi stretched out his hand and said, "In front is the official field for trial planting. It is the experimental field for the interplanting of corn and sweet potato on our side of the Agricultural Sciences. This model is used to check how to increase the yield per mu."

Ok?
Yuan Keli frowned slightly, showing a puzzled expression, and looked at Xu Guangqi, who had a high fighting spirit. He didn't know much about corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes and other things.

After all, under Chongzhen's three years of cultivation and planting, the corresponding matters in charge of the Agricultural Science Department have not been widely spread. Even in most places and fields in Ming Dynasty, little is known about corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., and they want to promote them on a large scale. Planting takes a long time.

After all, the high yields of corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes do not come immediately. It needs to be cultivated from generation to generation to find the two better ones.

Arriving at the trial planting official field, Yuan Keli frowned when he saw the green corn stalks and wide leaves. Several people from the agricultural science and technology department were walking through the corn field, inspecting something with serious expressions.

"Governor Yuan, you haven't come to inspect this group of officials since you transferred them?"

Seeing Yuan Keli's reaction, Xu Guangqi said with a smile: "This assistant knows that Governor Yuan is busy with various affairs, especially the Disaster Relief Administration, which consumes Governor Yuan's energy and time.

But it's your fault that you didn't come to inspect once.

After all, the corn and sweet potatoes produced by the 37 mu of trial plantation can be equivalent to the production of more than 300 mu of wheat. How many people can this feed? "

"!!"

Yuan Keli's face changed slightly, and he looked at Xu Guangqi in disbelief. He really couldn't believe that the total output of the corn and sweet potatoes hidden in the ground could be so amazing. After all, this is really unbelievable. .
