Today he was in the city and randomly checked the household registration books of some immigrant villages from the Tamsui City Civil Affairs Office. They were divided into households, and the members of each household were registered in detail. The household registration book was quite complete. In addition to writing down the

In addition to their birth dates and surnames, their ancestry was also simply registered. Some people's physical conditions were also noted, and even their family relationships were recorded in detail.

This is even stricter than the household registration system of later generations. As long as you look up the household registration book of a certain immigrant village, you can have a very intuitive understanding of the manpower situation of the immigrant village. The acres of land cultivated by each household

The quantity was also registered in detail, and a copy of the land deed of their fields was kept. The conditions of the fields were also clearly recorded.

Therefore, Yu Xiaotian was very happy about this, and excitedly took the newly appointed civil affairs manager Lu Shichou out of the city to inspect the actual situation of the immigrant village.

This Lu Shi was a former classmate of Lin Yiyang. He was older than Lin Yiyang and came from a poor family. He obtained the title of scholar in his early years, but he was never able to pass the examination and his family was very poor.

But this Lu Shi is very similar to Lin Yiyang in that he doesn't like to study rote books very much. He likes to dabble in other aspects of knowledge. He has a broad vision and is not a very settled person.

This Lu sometimes failed to pass the imperial examination for a long time, and his family was very poor. Although he had a little bit of land, he could not afford to hire long-term workers, so he had to farm by himself.

However, most of the scholars in this era were out of work and devoted themselves to studying. Very few people farmed their own farmland. Lu Shi could only farm on his own because of his poverty, so he was looked down upon by many classmates. In addition, he could never pass the exam, and he was getting worse and worse these days.

Things got worse and worse, so he started some small businesses to supplement his family's income.

Lu sometimes is not a pedantic person. Unlike some of his classmates, who are too poor to take the blame and are unwilling to start farming or find a way to support the family. He is more flexible in this regard and is more responsible for the family. He saves face and does it.

Some small business to meet household needs.

As a result, he was regarded as an alien and even a shame by his classmates. Very few classmates were willing to associate with him, making him very unpopular at home and even ridiculed.

Lu sometimes didn't take it seriously and insisted on doing some small business or farming on his own. Originally, his life was gradually getting better and he was relatively peaceful.

But he did not meet a virtuous wife. After he became a scholar, he was regarded as a promising person, so some people said that he had married the daughter of a landlord.

But after his wife got married, she discovered that his family was so poor that they couldn't even afford a maid as a long-term worker, and they had to work in the fields themselves. So they complained a lot about this, and the man named Lu often had a quarrel with him.

Moreover, this woman was somewhat pretty, not willing to endure hardship, and had a somewhat frivolous personality, so she started attracting flowers in the village. Originally, Lu was more tolerant to her at times, but she became even more aggressive.

Later, while Lu was out on business, this woman actually got involved with a gangster in the village, and they had an extramarital affair. She also had an affair with a classmate of Lu, which spread rumors in the village.

Lu Shi sometimes heard about it and warned his wife not to act recklessly again, but his wife still went her own way. Later, when Lu Shi sometimes came home from outside at night, he actually ran into his wife sleeping with a man and heard him coming home.

After the sound, the man jumped out of the window and fled.

Lu Shi was a man after all, how could he bear the insult of being cuckolded? After kicking the door open, he didn't catch her on the bed, so he strangled his wife to death in a rage.

Originally, the law of the Ming Dynasty stipulated that if the victim was caught in bed, the victim could beat the husband and wife to death with impunity. However, Lu sometimes failed to catch him in bed. He only heard someone jumping out of the window and escaping, so he killed his wife.

Therefore, it cannot be exempted according to the Ming Dynasty Law, but if the government does not investigate deeply, it will be fine.

But this time, his wife's family quit and sued Lu Shi to the county government. Moreover, his father-in-law spent money to bribe officials in the county government, which made Lu Shi suffer a lot and even lost him.

It was embarrassing, and in the end even his fame and honor were taken away, including the thin farmland in his family, which was also taken away by his father-in-law.

Later, Lu sometimes was sentenced to exile, but one of his classmates couldn't stand it anymore, so they spent some money to save his life and avoid the pain of exile. However, Lu sometimes couldn't survive in his hometown anymore.

, like Lin Yiyang back then, he also went to Fuzhou to work as a bookkeeper to earn a living.

Lin Yiyang knew this Lu Shishi. The two of them usually had a good relationship, had some friendship, and had similar hobbies. He knew that Lu Shishi was going through a very bad experience, so he wrote a letter and sent someone to find Lu Shishi, secretly informing him of his current situation.

Lu sometimes said it.

After Lu Shixou received Lin Yiyang's letter, he gritted his teeth and followed the sent Sea Wolf tribe to Nanyue Island. After meeting Yu Xiaotian, Yu Xiaotian also thought highly of him and asked him to also first

I went to work with Lin Yiyang. Later, when Lin Yiyang was transferred out of Tamsui City, the administrative affairs here were handed over to Lu Shi.

Lu was sometimes very surprised by Hailang's achievements. Seeing that Hailang had actually created such a big situation in the deserted land of Taiyuan Island, he stayed with peace of mind. He and Lin Yiyang actually belonged to the same group.

It is not easy for a person who has no official career on land and a slim future without any hope. If he hangs out on land, has a family and cannot return, and is laughed at and despised by others, he is forced to choose the path of becoming a thief.

.

On land, the most they can do is work as accountants, because of their status and career. Although sometimes if they are lucky, they can have the opportunity to work as a master or aide for an official, or they may also work as a cleaner, but in this way

There are very few opportunities for them, and it may be difficult for them to live a decent life.

Therefore, Lu was sometimes very satisfied with being able to come here to work for Yu Xiaotian. Except for Yu Xiaotian, he had no chance to obtain such a social status.

Therefore, Lu sometimes worked very hard here, and he was also considered a relatively capable person. After Lin Yiyang, he basically took over the entire civil affairs of Tamsui City, and he did a good job.

After Lu Xiaotian accompanied Yu Xiaotian out of Tamsui City, he introduced the people here to Yu Xiaotian while walking, while Yu Xiaotian listened and watched, nodded from time to time, and chatted with Lu sometimes.

But after they walked for a while, Yu Xiaotian began to feel bad because he found that he had still neglected the construction of rural infrastructure in Tamsui.

The roads here are simple roads without foundations. They are simply leveled out. There are no drainage ditches on both sides of the roads. The road surface is also ordinary soil. When there is a drought, there is a thick layer of floating soil on the roads.

It's dusty at first, but once it rains, the road becomes very muddy, making it difficult for people and animals to walk, and many places are like a mud pond.

The road has no roadbed, and sometimes vehicles such as bullock carts have to pass through it. After a long period of rolling, the road turns into a ditch, making it almost impossible to walk on rainy days.

Taiwan Island has a lot of rain. The fresh water side is better than the chicken coop side, but it rains for one-third of the year. Such road conditions are really inconvenient for people to walk.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian looked at the farmland conditions on the roadside while walking. Although a large area of ​​land here has been turned into farmland by immigrants, it is basically planted with crops.

However, the agricultural facilities here are very lagging behind. The most important thing is that although the land was planned and divided during the reclamation, the water conservancy facilities were not directly improved during the reclamation.

The land was connected into large areas and leveled out, and most of the low-lying land was filled in. However, this also destroyed the original terrain and caused many places to lose their drainage function. Although there was no rain during this period, Yu Xiaotian still saw

There is a lot of stagnant water in the land in some places, and crops cannot grow at all. It is also easy to form new puddles and breed mosquitoes.

So he realized that he still didn't pay enough attention to agriculture. He always thought that as long as he opened up these wastelands into farmland, he would be able to provide him with food, and he could easily solve the sea wolf's own food needs in the future.

After seeing this situation now, he felt that his previous ideas were too wishful thinking. Although the farming work in Tamsui is going well now and a lot of farmland has been opened up, such farmland facilities are seriously lagging behind.

, there are no good water conservancy facilities to assist agricultural production.

If farmland is not equipped with good water conservancy facilities, it is obvious that it cannot be cultivated well. When the weather is good, problems will not appear, but once there is a long period of heavy rain or drought, serious problems will immediately occur.

question.

During severe droughts, although these farmlands are very close to the Tamsui River, there is no way to use the water from the Tamsui River for irrigation. Simply relying on shoulder-to-carry water for irrigation cannot solve the problem at all, and consumes a lot of manpower.

Once there is a long period of heavy rain or heavy rain, the farmland has no way to drain the accumulated water, causing serious waterlogging. Even if it is very close to the Tamsui River, the accumulated water cannot be drained smoothly.

In this case, agricultural production cannot be guaranteed at all, and there is no need to think about food self-sufficiency. If it is not done well, there may be tens of thousands of disaster victims, which will become a burden to the Sea Wolf.

So Yu Xiaotian asked Lu Youyou about this matter. Lu Youyou looked at the farmland, bowed to Xiaotian and said: "The master's judgment is really accurate! This matter is indeed an oversight of the lower class! Recently, I have

After taking this job, I focused mainly on the resettlement of immigrants, which I never had time to arrange!

In addition, there is a huge amount of labor in various parts of the workshop, and there is not enough manpower to repair and dig channels. This matter is too expensive and takes a lot of labor, and I am afraid it will not be easy to do in a short time!"

(The chrysanthemum is already numb! Whoever wants to explode can do it!)
