Chapter 338 The return date is approaching
Jiang Anyi's speech at Huangyang Academy and "Yellow Essence" were quickly spread among the Shilin, and the scholarship carefully prepared in advance became a supporting role, and not many people mentioned it.
The article "The Inscription of Huangyang" describes the holy realm of scholars. Although the conditions are difficult, scholars still maintain noble and arrogant sentiments and elegant interests in adversity. This has been cited by many scholars, especially poor students, as Zuo Youming. Those who do not like Jiang Anyi said a few words in a sarcastic manner. Huangyang Academy is shameless. A newly-created academy actually thinks that Zhangyi Academy and Zechang Academy are in line with each other. Who do Jiang Anyi thinks he is? Does Master Fan?
The debate cited in "Huang Yang Ming" is only a small matter. Jiang Anyi's words in Qingxintang "What you learn is used for and what you use" caused a sensation in the Shilin. The theory of "maintaining the world and applying what you learn is used for the purpose" appeared in the Shilin for the first time, and a completely opposite wind was created in the Shilin.
The supporter was excited and believed that the theory emphasized that the book "what learned is transformed into daily use" and is beneficial to oneself and to the people, and is beneficial to the country and the family, which can create a new trend for a generation. The opposing party was heartbroken and believed that Jiang Anyi was innovative and sensational, and he was a villain.
The center of the storm is often calm, Fuluo County is calm, and the magistrate of Jiang County wants to establish the reputation of the world, so it is not enough to rely solely on the Huangyang Academy. The roads in Fuluo County have been renovated, and nearly half of the prisoners have been released. The remaining more than 200 people have nothing to do. Jiang Anyi, based on the principle of not wasting, was preparing to build a tall building on the shore of Changsong Lake.
There is a lot of water in Fuluo County, with golden water and pine water. The Changhe River converges eastward to form a lake with a 100-mile radius, called Songchang Lake. Raw fish and lotus roots are produced in the lake. In drought, residents along the lake can irrigate water and drain water into the lake when they are flooded. Zhang Shicheng, a great scholar in Lizhou during the Wei Dynasty, once wrote that "the lake is shimmering and the lotus is floating on the lotus, and the style is the fisherman used to this; the flute rhyme blows the red reed bank, and the sound of oars makes the brocade scale nest" was once one of the ten scenic spots in Lizhou.
During the reign of Emperor Zheng He, the world was encouraged to reclaim wasteland. In order to cater to the holy wishes, Han Dali, the governor of Lizhou, reclaimed fields in empty lakes three times. As a result, the Changhe River broke its dike and overflowed, turning the three villages downstream into a marina. After the water receded, the fields next to Songchang Lake turned into wastelands. From then on, the beautiful scenery became a depression. From then on, there were many tourists and gradually became a place where no one cares about it.
Jiang Anyi once went to Songchang Lake to shoot ducks. After learning about the changes in Songchang Lake, he was very moved. At that time, he had the idea of digging and restoring Songchang Lake. Now the time is ripe. People are needed, money is needed, and restoring famous places is also a measure to benefit the local people. It is time to take action.
In addition to more than 200 prisoners, Jiang Anyi recruited corvee labor and summoned people according to the salary of 100 people per day. Most of Fuluo County were refugees who came to reclaim land. When they heard such generous treatment, they all came to Fuluo people to take advantage of the local Fuluo people. So as long as they had free time, they came to work in Songchang Lake. For a time, more than 3,000 people gathered on the banks of Songchang Lake, and the scene was spectacular.
It is easy to do things. Songchang Lake was dredged and unblocked in less than a month. Standing on a high place, watching fishing boats on the shimmering lake surface, large flocks of water birds flew past the lake surface, and the blue sky and white clouds reflected, which was as magnificent as a painting. Qin Zixiong sighed: "The great man reappears the beautiful scenery of Songchang Lake, and his achievements will last for thousands of years. The people of Fuluo will still be grateful for the great man's merits after thousands of generations."
"Yes," Liu Jiusi was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery and sighed: "The reappearance of the 'The lake's shimmering and lotus' written by Zhang Xueshu in the past is really touching. The adult poem is famous all over the world. After coming to Fuluo, he wrote "Thoughts on Taste of Green Fog", which made Qing Fog Tea a famous tea, and wrote "Yellow Yang Inscription" on Huangyang Mountain, erecting a monument for our scholars. Now Songchang Lake is full of smoothness, and I don't know what moving poems you want to leave, but Liu is the hope of clouds and rainbows."
"Yes, An Yi, I am not around when you write the poem about Qingwu Tea, especially when Huang Yangming. I am useless to treat you as my best friend. You must notify me of any article you write to commemorate Songchang Lake this time. I will record such a grand event in memory and leave it to my descendants in the future." Qin Zixiong said half-seriously and half-jokingly.
Liu Jiusi nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, sir, we can't leave us alone this time. We must notify us present in advance, otherwise Liu will not agree."
Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Jiang Anyi was thinking about what words to use to describe the beautiful scenery. He listened to Qin Zixiong again: "The scenery of lakes and mountains should be matched with towers and pavilions, so that it would be perfect." Jiang Anyi's heart moved, and a piece of writing that could be compared with "The Inscription on Huangyang". This article was released again and his name in the world could be achieved.
"Brother Qin's words reminded me, how about building a Songchang Building here in the county? Standing upstairs to watch the scenery is a great thing. On the day the building was completed, Jiang should invite guests and write a note of it."
Songchang Tower began to be built in full swing, and it was already late October. The land tax in Fuluo County was gradually put into storage. This year, the annual land tax revenue was 5,100 guan, and the Guangtian tax was nearly twice that of Yan Kaichen. Fuluo County is a place where medicine and tea produces, and the commercial tax increased. The two items of medicinal materials and tea alone received more than 2,600 guan. The scenery of Huangyang Mountain is spread in Lizhou. In addition to merchants, there are many tourists coming to Fuluo County for a trip, which has brought prosperity to all walks of life. The miscellaneous taxes have been received by Jiang Anyi. By the end of the year, the tax was about 10,000 guan, and this tax had reached the standard of going to the county.
The key is that after collecting so many taxes, the people are richer than in previous years. From the food, clothing and smiles of the people in the county town, you can see that this year's life is good. The people of Fuluo County who have less levies and exploitation are living a happy life. Jiang Anyi called on students to come to private schools at Huangyang Academy, and the results are good. There are three more private schools in the county town alone, and at least eight or nine more private schools in each village. The old man Huang from Huangni Village sent his two grandsons to the school as he wished.
The household house counted the population of the county this year in accordance with the order of the county magistrate. Jiang Anyi was overjoyed after seeing it. Originally, there were 50,436 people in the county, and the reclamation of mountains and land was encouraged in Fuluo County, and 4,236 new households were absorbed, totaling 19,788, 496 new babies, and 465 bandits in Huangyang Mountain. It is estimated that the population has exceeded 70,000, and the standards in Zhongxian have passed, but there is still more than 8,000 people away from Shangxian.
Touching the slight beard on his chin, Jiang Anyi thought in his mind that the emperor had set the goal of achieving the county. He thought it would take five years to complete it in three years. Now it seems that it will be almost achieved in one and a half years. When he stood up, Xin Fei's figure appeared in Jiang Anyi's mind. He could meet his wife one day earlier, and he would not delay it if he had done more.
After calming down his longing for a little, Jiang Anyi began to consider how to absorb 9,000 people by the end of the year. As winter comes, it is even more difficult for the people to make a living. The main way is to absorb refugees. This time, the governor Zhao needs help. It is better to go to Jingyang Mansion in the near future, and he will make some arrangements. He even secretly agreed with the officials of the state yamen to send a refugee to a benefit fee of 20 cents, so that the efficiency of doing things will be higher. Ten thousand people is only 200 taels of silver, and this transaction is very cost-effective.
There have been fewer refugees in the past two months. The refugees in Lizhou have been absorbed by him. I guess they can't recruit many people even if they have money. Thinking that Huazhou is full of fire and there must be many people who flee. Jiang Anyi really wishes to fly to Huazhou to catch some people. The distance water cannot quench the near thirst, Jiang Anyi sighed, wondering how many fat man Guo could talk to Fuluo County after he returned. If he could bring two or three thousand people, it would solve the big problem.
Jiang Anyi remembered that when he was in the Qing Dynasty in Renzhou, he found more than 8,000 hidden households, and there were more than 1,500 hidden households under the name of the Li family. In order to escape rent and taxes, these hidden households escaped from labor service, escaped from their hometowns or sold themselves to officials and gentry families in order to seek entrusting. Most of these people were pitiful people, but what was hateful were the officials and gentry families who took in these people for profit.
There are no high-ranking officials and gentry in Fuluo County, which gave Jiang Anyi little resistance to implementing "tax-to-one", but it also means that there are not many "hidden households" under the name of the gentry. However, it is hard to say other counties. Can you think of a way to force all the hidden households in Lizhou to Fuluo County, and each county can have thirty or forty households and thousands of people.
Jiang Anyi was excited about his idea, jumped up like a child, and jumped twice on the floor tiles in the flower hall. When the stone heard the sound, he probed in and looked around. Jiang Anyi immediately asked with his hands behind his back and a stern face: "Aren't you going to Songchang Lake to supervise the worker? Why are you back?"
"Young Master, the fishermen in Songchang Lake have caught a few mandarin fish and asked me to send them to you for a try." Seeing Jiang Anyi glaring at him, Shi Tou understood his intentions and quickly said, "I have already given the money."
Jiang Anyi waved his hand, Shi Tou retracted his head, and stuck out his tongue, smiling secretly on his face. The young master was clearly jumping inside the house, a little annoyed and ashamed.
After being beaten by the stone, Jiang Anyi calmed down excitedly and thought with his hands behind his back that the matter of the hidden house needs to be powered by the governor Zhao. This matter does not have to be true. As long as the government office releases the wind, the hidden house will naturally appear. If you have to worry about Lord Zhao, this favor must be neglected. This time, my mother brought a box of perfume. When I pick a few new ones, I will send it to you?
It was already November when I returned from Jingyang Mansion. Seeing that my son’s 100th day of life was coming, according to the wishes of Jiang Huang and Dong'er, I had to do it well. The Huang family was decorated with lights and decorations. Jiang Anyi booked three hotels near his residence. Whenever the guests came, they would be warmly entertained. Today, the beggars were also guests, bringing joy to the children.
However, Jiang Anyi still did not expect that there would be so many people coming to congratulate the people. Needless to say, Master Hongxin of Huangyang Temple and Zhiming Zhenren from Huangyang Temple came together, and a monk chanted scriptures and prayed for the children. Mr. Su Shanchang and Ling of the academy also came to congratulate the people of the academy. The people of all townships and villages in the county came to congratulate him. The entire Fuluo County became a sea of joy.
