Thanks to the book friend Xiangrui 1, what is - the reward of love!

……

After Zigong began to farm goods, the light knights who used to patrol around the Chengxiang wall at the most had a new job, that is, as the caravan's bodyguard.

Zigong spent thousands of shi of grain in the lower palace, and he got back seventy or eighty cattle and horses, but Zhao Wuxi thought it was not enough, because this could only solve the urgent need. A township of 30,000 mu of land is just enough to be allocated one farm of cattle and horses based on five hundred acres. But in addition, there must be more than a hundred heads for pulling carts to transport goods, and for pulling and grinding wheat flour.

The remaining thousands of stone and corn were divided into several parts by Zhao Wuxi.

First of all, I have to pay off the credit debt that I asked the people of the country to help build the craftsman's workshop. Lao Dan once said: "A person cannot stand without credibility, and a country without credibility will decline." In Chengyi, Zhao Wuxi must maintain the image of a gentleman who walks the talk, in order to drive the people to make more changes.

Two hundred soldiers, and those who are diligent and skilled workers are also subsidized for corn and even wheat flour, so that they can be more motivated when training or working.

Afterwards, he distributed some food rations to the elderly over the age of 60 in every li, as well as to the schoolchildren who were taught in the Ji Li Qiao Institute.

Supporting the orphans and widows, the elderly and the weak, and promoting ritual and music education have always been important criteria for judging whether a village slaughter is qualified. Reputation is very important these days. As expected, Zhao Wuxi received a lot of praise. Today's Chengxiang, except for a few people, is basically a piece of iron.

The most important thing for Zhao Wuchen is to encourage childbirth. He suggested Zhao Yang to cancel the funeral system last year, so as not to consume more than a thousand people every year on funerals that are unhelpful to reality.

Population is an important factor that determines the survival of states and the outcome of wars in this era. The larger the population, the larger the army. The amount of the army determines the number of soldiers, the number of soldiers determines the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the combat effectiveness of the troops determines the quality of victory or defeat.

Historically, the rise and fall of Zongzhou was largely related to the increase or decrease of the population.

At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, King Wen and King Wu established the "Saturday Division" based on the people of Zhouyuan. Relying on them, the Zhou people were able to swept the world, successively attacked and destroyed Misu, Li, Chong and other countries, and conquered the eight southwestern countries such as Shu. After that, he marched eastward, and the battle of Muye killed Dayi merchants in just one day!

But the Zhou people, as a later tribe, had only one tenth of the population compared to the more prosperous Yin people. Duke Wen of Zhou, who inherited the great cause of literature and martial arts, organized the remnants of Yin and Shang as the "Eight Divisions of Yin". In the subsequent three prison turmoil, he killed Wu Geng, destroyed Dongyi, disabled Yan, and Gupu, and made extraordinary achievements.

But with the great division of the seal, these eight Yin divisions with considerable combat power were distributed to Wei, Lu, Yan and other princes and scattered all over the east.

The land and population within the Zhou family Wang Ji (ji) have also been continuously divided among the nobles for a hundred years. The royal family has fewer and fewer people in the country, and the number and combat effectiveness of the Sixth Division has continued to decline. Finally, at the time of King Zhao of Zhou, he was attacked by Jing Man on the shore of Han River during the Southern Expedition, and the entire army was annihilated!

From then on, the Zhou family began to rely on the armies of the feudal lords and princes to quell rebellions, conquer, or resist the invasion of the Rong and Di. Although in the era of King Li and King Xuan, the land of Hanyang in the south was opened up, and the concubines were divided into concubines. They used their tribute to form the "Southern Division", barely maintaining the situation and realizing the "Zhongxing of King Xuan".

However, in the Battle of Thousand Mu, "Master Wang was defeated by Jiang's army, and he lost his southern division."

Zhao Yuanfu, the sixth-generation grandson of Zhao Zaofu, also participated in that battle. He inherited the traditional position of the family. As the royal guard of King Xuan of Zhou, he drove King Xuan to get out of trouble when his master was defeated.

After the Battle of Thousand Mu, Zong Zhou had no more soldiers available. Facing the more and more frequent harassment of the Quanrong in the Jingwei River Basin, and the gradually restless eastern princes, King Xuan of Zhou had to "expect the people in Taiyuan", hoping to strictly control the people of the country by means of a large household registration, but to no avail. Instead, it aroused national disgust.

Perhaps it was what he saw in the Battle of Thousand Mu, which made the sensitive Zhao Yuanfu have a foreboding of the impending disaster. After joining the royal family, he quickly took refuge in the thriving state of Jin under the governance of Marquis Wen of Jin.

After losing control of the army and the population, the royal family has since been humbled, relying on the Jiang surname Shenhou in the Jingwei River Basin, and completely giving the feudal lords autonomy in the east of Luoyi. This unstable situation ended with the demise of Zongzhou in the Battle of Lishan.

Looking through the history, Zhao Wuxi paid more and more attention to the control of the population. Although he now only has one township, this is equivalent to a special economic zone of Zhao's family, one mu of experimental field. In this year's winter solstice, after winning the top plan, he will dedicate his policy measures to Zhao Yang, and choose the appropriate ones to implement in Zhao's territory, so that Dongfeng can gain a large county and ascend to the throne of the prince.

Therefore, measures to encourage population growth should also be implemented as soon as possible. This is the slowest but most effective way to strengthen the nation. The hegemony of Duke Huan of Qi, Duke Wen of Jin, and King Zhuang of Chu were all related to the policy of encouraging population and developing land colonization.

The most famous one is Goujian's counter-attack journey from a corner of Kuaiji more than ten years later, and was selected into the middle school textbook for all students to recite.

Thanks to the education in his previous life, Zhao Wuqi decided to choose the cottage. He now has surplus grain in his hand, so he naturally has the confidence to do so!

So the next day, outside the village temple, everyone saw a slip of paper that was nailed to the wall with copper nails, and wrote a government decree. Those teenagers who were originally literate in Jiqiao Academy were responsible for standing by and reading it out loud to the Chinese people.

"I heard that the sages of the ancient times, the people of the four quarters return to them, as if the water flows under the water. Today, I am not talented, and I can only command two or three sons and couples to expand the family. The strong man should not marry an old woman, and the old man should not marry a great daughter; women If he does not marry at seventeen, his parents are guilty; if his husband does not marry at twenty, his parents are guilty.”

"Report the childbirth person to the village temple, and the gentleman will order the doctor to guard him. If you give birth to a husband and a woman, you will be given two kettles of bean juice, three buckets of wheat flour, and ten stones of corn; if you give birth to two people, the gentleman will hire a nurse for them to support them. Wifeless people, widows, people with rashes, and people who are poor and sick give birth to their sons, and their villages and monasteries will raise them for them!”

After listening, everyone was silent for a while, and looked at each other in disbelief.

"A boy or a girl can be given two pots of bean juice~lightnovelpub.net~ three buckets of wheat flour and ten stones of corn? Is there such a good thing?"

This question immediately attracted a lot of voices: "A gentleman makes a promise, a horse is hard to chase, it must be true!"

So, before Zhao Wuxi could let the sailors arranged by Cheng Wu in the crowd sing their praises, many bystanders were moved to tears.

"Benevolent lord!"

Who doesn't want four generations to live together? Who doesn't want many children and grandchildren? But the problem is, with the meager per-mu yield of Chengxiang alone, it is impossible to support a few people! Therefore, there have been cases of abandonment and drowning of infants in every li. With this decree, at least in Chengxiang, during the reign of a gentleman, there is no need to worry anymore!

However, as a result, Zhao Wuxi's seemingly huge profits in the past half month were actually almost consumed. The rest is mostly newly harvested wheat, which was put into what Zhao Wuxi called "expanded reproduction". The stone mill and mill have to be built, but unfortunately the stream is not turbulent, otherwise the hydraulic mill can be tested.

Windmill? That one seems to be a bit advanced, and he can't play in Chengxiang at the moment. Maybe after Ji Liqiao has trained more than ten students of similar level to him, he can study it.

The potters who had experienced a failure also started a new round of glaze preparation and trial firing. In fact, Lu Taoweng felt that his clansmen had done well enough, but Zhao Wuxi was still dissatisfied and could not do anything about it. , can only continue to explore according to the way the gentleman said.

In a word, Zhao Wuxi's decree, together with his open business ideas, once again shocked Zigong.
