Yuxi Family Farming Reform
Chapter 307 Yuxi Family Farming Reform
Hidean Togawa wrote down the instructions of the Xiu family and continued, "The 9 counties of Beizhong have a subtotal of 23.5 shi. Since His Highness encouraged the cultivation of humans and animals, the knowledge and practice of Beizhong has improved a lot. The 12 counties of Misaka The subtotal of knowledge and practice is 18 shi.
After three years of self-cultivation in Sanuki, knowledge and practice have greatly improved compared to the past. During the autumn harvest this year, the inspection of 11 counties found that the subtotal of knowledge and practice has reached 15.5 shi, which is 4% longer than when the family just took over. It is gratifying Congratulations.
Especially in the vicinity of Takamatsu, where the lord directly led, through the maintenance of water conservancy, the number of Zhixing increased by 1.2 shi. "
Yukita's family also saluted and said, "Congratulations, my lord."
Which daimyo would despise his direct-controlled leader?
According to Yuxiduo's "Four Fields Law", the land reclaimed by the wealthy family will share the income with the main family for 5 years, and after 5 years these fields will be assigned to their Zhixing Tianzhong.
The land reclaimed by the civilians directly under the Xiu family will be divided into granted land and open field according to the 2/8 principle.Granted land is the land granted to the household that can be inherited. The open field is a territory entrusted to you by the lord to cultivate, and will be distributed after your death.
No matter which one is for the Xiu family, it will increase the knowledge and practice of the direct control and help strengthen the strength of the Xiu family's centralized power.
Xiujia said modestly: "It's all thanks to the management of the fat back guard. I am really relieved that the Yuxi family has been handed over to you."
Of course, the Xiu family is also a little puzzled. Since the fact of the "Four Fields Law", although the knowledge and practice of the family has increased to a certain extent, the growth rate is not satisfactory.
There was even a decrease year by year, which made the Xiu family couldn't help asking curiously, "Higou Mamoru, since the implementation of the "Four Fields Law", has the number of acres of knowledge and practice in the family been restricted by clockwork, has it become more standardized?"
Hidean Togawa replied, "That is indeed the case, especially after His Highness unified the containers for weighing fields during the autumn harvest, the various data from various places have finally been unified, and a relatively true number of knowledge and actions can be obtained."
Or say that Qin Shihuang is the same emperor through the ages, the greatest significance of his existence is the establishment of a system in which books are written in the same way and cars are in the same track.Although the Qin Dynasty did not enjoy the country for long, it set a good example for its successor, the Han Dynasty, and united the scattered Chinese civilization into a single nation called "Han".
But it seems that the Japanese envoys sent to Tang Dynasty only learned the superficiality, and didn't realize the importance of this kind of thing at all.Especially after the enfeoffment of the samurai family, the daimyo in various places have a lofty right to rule over the territory, so they will naturally find ways to issue their own currency and weights and measures.
After thousands of years, Japan has dozens of different weighing standards from south to north, so that before and after Hideyoshi unified weights and measures in 1587, the watch heights of various countries have changed greatly.
Hideka didn't have such a big feeling when he first ruled the three kingdoms of Misaka, Bizen, and Bichu. After all, they are all the territory of the ancient Jibei Kingdom. In recent decades, they have basically been under the control of the same daimyo, and the weights and measures are relatively unified.
It wasn't until Xiujia took control of Sanuki that they discovered that the weights and measures of the two places were very different.The table height of Sanuki is only 8 shi. On the one hand, the people’s livelihood has been poor due to the years of war and chaos. Another reason is that the rice buckets used to weigh the rice are relatively large, and the final statistics are relatively small.
This is also the reason why the number of Zhixing in the Sanuki Kingdom rose directly from 8.8 shi to 11.2 shi after the Xiujia unification of rice buckets.
Xiujia continued to ask Togawa Hidean, "Since the "Sitian Law" is so good, why does the number of knowledge and practice in various places seem to have decreased a lot in the past two years?"
In the first year after the promulgation of the Hideka Shita Law, there was a great enthusiasm for reclaiming wasteland in various places. Two years later (the autumn harvest of 1584), 4.3 shi of new land were opened up in Bizen, and nearly 6 shi were developed in Bizen. Xinling, Meizuo developed 3 shi.
But this year, Bizen and Bichu will exceed 1 koku, and Misaku is even worse, only opening up 5 koku.
"Higou Mamoru, is it because the family's policy is not favorable enough? You only need to pay taxes for 5 years, and you can count the newly developed territory into your knowledge and practice. Why doesn't it seem that the retainers are not so enthusiastic about reclaiming wasteland this year?"
Togawa Hidean heard Hideka's question, first bowed to Hideka and pleaded guilty, and then explained, "The rewards offered by His Highness are naturally very generous, but the size of each country is fixed. Surrounded by mountains, the territory that can be developed is limited.
In the past few years, when the policy was just emerging, there was indeed a wave of development boom, but in the past two years, the territory suitable for development has already been developed.The remaining places are mostly rocky places with rigid geology.
In such a place, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the power of the people to open up wasteland. However, the family lacks enough cattle to protect the existing territory. How can there be any extra cattle to reclaim the rocky land?
What's more, even if this kind of rocky land is plowed, it is difficult to feed rice in a short time.It also needs continuous plowing, moving fertile soil from other places to improve the soil quality, etc. This alone has stumped many people.
There have been rumors among the people that the fertility of the land is bestowed by the gods, and the fertility cannot be restored if it is dug away. Naturally, the people are unwilling to lend their own good soil to others, and the pace of reclamation has stopped. "
In fact, this kind of idea is not only spread in Japan, but people all over the world believe in this saying. If it is not forced to be a last resort, who would want to go to the rocky beach to reclaim wasteland?
Reclaiming wasteland not only requires a lot of labor, but also requires high-quality soil and abundant water resources elsewhere. If it is really easy to reclaim wasteland, Minning in the northwest will not be so difficult to develop.
Farmers’ concerns are actually not unreasonable. Although the fertility of the land is invisible and intangible, it is real. The main reason is the ratio of the three elements of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are rare in the land. Digging away the soil rich in elements will inevitably affect their own. Who would want to do such a good deed?
In the past two years, knowledge and practice have greatly increased. Firstly, the peasants do not understand these things, and secondly, the rewards offered by the Xiu family are high enough. If they can really pay out 100 shi by themselves, the peasants can become warriors.
But the farmers are not fools. After two years, they have seen clearly the disadvantages, and the number of people who are still willing to go has dropped sharply.Moreover, those who still reclaim wasteland nowadays often use a large amount of water resources for irrigation to change the soil quality.The movement is big and the effect is poor.
The Xiu family quickly figured out where their misunderstanding was, and said to Togawa Xiu'an, "Does my family carry out river improvement work every year? Including repairing dams and dredging?"
"Don't worry about this, Your Highness. Since the flooding of Asahikawa that year, we have been carrying out these tasks in an orderly manner." Hidean Togawa responded.
Hearing that the dredging was in progress, the Xiu family felt relieved, and continued to ask, "How do we deal with the silt we clear out?"
Hidean Togawa was confused by the question from Xiu's family, how did he deal with it?How to deal with it? Isn't the excavated silt just piled up in a random place?What's the use of those fishy and ugly things? No, they also have some uses. They are generally used for reclamation in southern Bizen.
Therefore, compared with the Ming Dynasty, Japan's agricultural level has been several generations behind. Not only do they not know how to use animal power, they still use the original pear for farm tools, and they don't even know how to use the silt of treasures.
The nutrient elements contained in the silt are not comparable to ordinary fields. This thing is soaked in water all the year round, and the excrement and corpses of animals and plants are mixed in it to ferment. The nutrient elements contained in the silt are beyond the reach of even the most fertile soil.
Seeing Togawa Hidean's confused face, the Xiu family knew that they did not make good use of the silt, so they explained to him, "The reason why the Ming Dynasty is rich is that their agricultural technology is more advanced than ours. Proper use of silt is one of them. a way.
The silt is rich in trace elements, which is what we call fertility. The effect of distributing these silts on the wasteland is far more effective than digging a piece of land from other places. The newly developed territory can grow crops faster . "
The Xiu family can now be said to be the living gods of the Yuxi family, and they are what they say.Everyone in the family's idea of the Xiu family's unconstrained style has changed from distrust at the beginning to now full of confidence.
After hearing Hideka's suggestion, Togawa Hidean quickly wrote it down with a pen.
However, the Xiu family continued to say, "I remember that the people in the river are all poor people in the territory. Let them dig the mud for us. The maintenance of the river is something that benefits everyone. We can't let them do it for nothing.
How about this? In the future, we will buy the silt in the riverbed from them at a price of 10 renminbi per ping, and sell it to the people who reclaimed wasteland at 150 renminbi per ping. The price of 200 Wen sold to them. "
Hechuanzhong is a collective term, referring to the people who live along the river without fixed land.In the period of farming civilization, these people were the most humble existence, not valued by the lord, and were often assigned the hardest work.
Since the Yuxi family began to prepare rivers and floods in various places, they have basically been incorporated, which is equivalent to working with wages from the Yuxi family, but the salary they pay is only enough to support a family.
Now, Xiujia has used another method to help them generate income, and it can also be regarded as finding a way to improve their lives.
After Yuxi Duo's family heard about it, they couldn't help but praised, "Your Highness is really the kindest ruler in the world. It is a blessing for the common people to have a master like His Highness in Yuxi's family."
This made the Xiu family feel a little embarrassed. Collecting mud for 10 renminbi per ping, and then reselling it for 150 renminbi, even a Judas profiteer would not dare to do this!This change of hands counts as 15 times the profit!
Xiujia coughed twice, and for the sake of conscience, said softly to Togawa Hidean, "After all, the people of Hechuan took the risk to clear the silt. 10 Wen is too little. Let's increase it to 30 Wen and buy it."
Of course, while the Xiu family was looking for ways to increase the yield per mu, they were also looking for ways to limit the number of knowledge and actions of their retainers.
According to the original "Sitian Law", the barren land reclaimed by Ukido's retainers can be included in the retainer's knowledge and practice as long as they hand in five years of land tax.
This condition was originally set up by the Xiu family to stimulate the development of skills. It can be seen that after the discovery of livestock farming, the use of iron pear tools, and the use of silt compost, it will definitely be easier to reclaim wasteland than before, which will definitely stimulate a large number of people. The retainer group got involved.
However, the area directly under the Xiu family is limited, and most of them are fertile fields that have been developed for a long time. If the development of wasteland becomes easier, the knowledge-to-action ratio between the Ukita clan and the retainers will inevitably be further enlarged.
The Xiu family has been trying to increase the centralization of power from the beginning to the end. The goal of the Xiu family is to control half of the neighboring countries of the family. In order to avoid the above situation, the "Sitian Law" must be revised.
It just so happens that the retainers are caught in the short-sightedness that reclamation is difficult but the benefits are not high. It is not difficult to change the "Four Kingdoms Law".
When I met Xiujia, he said to Ukita’s commentator, “Let’s record it, Dazai, since they are so careless about land reclamation, they should change the preferential treatment conditions in the “Si Tian Law” regarding the land reclamation of rich retainers.
Changed the clause of "newly reclaimed land will be owned by the samurai after paying 5 years of taxes" to "newly reclaimed land shall be governed by the civilian law, but it is confirmed at a ratio of 3/7 to be included in the granted land in Zhixing, and The open field part of the main house should be handed in.For the compensation of money and food subsidies given to farmers who reclaimed new land on behalf of samurai families, the standard is to distribute according to the number of new land reclaimed for one and a half years. '"
This decree of the Xiu family can be regarded as leaving a gap for the warrior class. If it is really implemented according to the fact that all the new pit leaders are handed over, no one is willing to reclaim wasteland.
Now that land reclamation has become easier, they can count [-]% more than ordinary people into the grant of knowledge and practice, and they will definitely burst out with more enthusiasm than ordinary people.
Similarly, after they have worked hard, the Xiu family collects 7 achievements of the newly reclaimed land in order to enrich the direct-controlled territory of the family. As long as this policy is implemented for 10 years, Yuxi's direct-controlled territories and retainer territories will inevitably achieve a balance in the common growth .
The most important thing is that the Xiu family has always adhered to the principle of eating meat and drinking soup. The increase in knowledge and behavior brought about by the new reclamation of wasteland is real, and Yu Xi's family members can also benefit from it.
Ukita Kane and Togawa Hidean are such smart people, especially after participating in today's meeting, they already know that there will be major changes in the farming methods in the future, and naturally they also know that this is the method of Hideka's restriction.
However, none of them would point out the mystery of it. Now that the decree has not been changed, the real important thing is to hurry up and reclaim the last piece of wasteland and grow up.
They are even unwilling to share the secrets with others, after all, when they finally know how to rank, they are the ones with the best faces.
After giving these instructions, the Xiu family was able to look forward to a better life in the future, and told Togawa Hidean, "The reform of the fields is the top priority, and it must be strictly implemented."
The thoughts of the two of them had already flown out at this time, and they began to think about how to mobilize the territory to reclaim the wasteland. They just responded to the Xiu family's inquiry in a cohesive manner.
