    ,

    The "Suppressing Cotton Field Order" has already been implemented, and it does not force anything, but only slightly increases the tax on cotton fields.

    At the same time, in case of natural disasters, the preferential policies for cotton fields will be halved.  That is, due to natural disasters, grain fields are exempted from taxes, but cotton fields can only be exempted from taxes by 50%; taxes on grain fields are halved, and cotton fields can only be exempted from taxes by 25%.

    Except for Northeast Jiangxi, cotton can be grown in the open!

    In recent years, Northeast Jiangxi, which suffers drought every year, is the best cotton-producing area in Jiangxi.

    The quality of the cotton produced there is comparable to that of Shandong cotton, and the hydraulic spinning machine is a waste of material.  It must be spun and woven by hand, and directly woven into fine cotton cloth, the price is many times that of coarse cotton cloth.

    ?The Jiangxi Provincial Government is located in Nanchang, and the left chief envoy Ouyang Zheng and the right chief envoy Huo Tao made a special trip to Ji'an to report on their work.

    ? Ouyang Zheng submitted an agricultural development plan and reported: "The various departments of the provincial government comprehensively consider the situation of the whole province and believe that in terms of farming, we should focus on the development of tea, cotton, tung oil, ramie, and tobacco leaves. Especially ramie and tobacco leaves!"

    "Tell me in detail." Zhao Han nodded.

    Ouyang Zheng analyzed:

    "There is no need to go into details about Jiangxi's tea. It was famous all over the world during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Merchants valued profits and neglected parting. The month before last, they went to Fuliang to buy tea. "Pipa Xing" mentioned Jiangxi tea. There are many mountains in Jiangxi, so it is very suitable for growing tea."

    "Jiangxi is also one of the four major cotton-producing areas in the country. Cotton should also be planted, but it is best to only plant it in the northeast of Jiangxi. Other areas in Jiangxi must restrain the number of cotton fields."

    "Tung oil and tobacco leaves are better grown in southern Jiangxi, where there are many mountains, and there is no harvest for growing food. Southern Jiangxi can also develop tea mountains, but tea mountains, like tung oil, take shape slowly, and it takes several years to harvest. Therefore, tung trees  , Tea trees are planted slowly, there is no need to rush for a while, and tobacco leaves can be promoted quickly.¡±

    "The main crop planted in Jiangxi should be ramie"

    Jiangxi was one of the four major ramie producing areas in the Ming Dynasty, and this thing is not too picky.  As long as the wasteland is ripe, it can be planted casually on the hillside, and the economic benefits will definitely be far greater than that of sweet potatoes.

    Moreover, the water-turned spinning wheel was originally used to weave linen yarn.  Jiangxi is densely covered with rivers, and ramie is widely planted. Even if the water-turning spinning wheel is not improved, it can be perfectly matched.

    Ramie is mainly used for weaving summer cloth, which is a cloth that is breathable and cool in summer.

    Now, the bandages in Zhao Han's army all use ramie linen.  Ramie fiber contains ingredients such as eminence, purine, and pyrimidine, which can inhibit a variety of bacteria, and also have antiseptic and anti-mildew effects. It is simply the first choice for medical bandages.

    After the promotion of hydraulic spinning machines, the most rapid increase in production last year was not coarse cotton cloth and coarse cotton yarn, but grass cloth!

    Even Cantonese merchants bought in large quantities for export to Southeast Asia.

    Because Jiangxi Xiabu suddenly became extremely cheap, Zheng Zhilong bought 20,000 pieces in one go.  The sailors especially like this thing, it is cooler and more breathable than cotton cloth, and it is not a problem to sell in Nanyang.

    Ramie can also be used to make matchlocks for matchlock guns, cables for sea ships, and so on.

    "Ramie is a good thing," Zhao Han nodded approvingly, "Take your agricultural plan and go to the Department of Government Affairs to approach the Department of Huangzhang. Remember, agricultural development must be accompanied by industrial and commercial development, and the two complement each other."

    "yes!"

    "Go."

    The two chief envoys left hand in hand.

    It is not so easy to be a political envoy under Zhao Han. You must be familiar with the industrial, agricultural, and commercial aspects of the province.

    On the other hand, the chief envoy of Ming Dynasty, since governors became the norm, the chief envoy who was supposed to be in charge of the province's government affairs was directly reduced to the director of the provincial government office.

    Really, as long as the governors and governors were sent by the imperial court, those chief envoys in the late Ming Dynasty would immediately become the directors of the provincial general office, and their actual power was not as good as that of the prefects below.

    This situation is abnormal, but it was normal in the late Ming Dynasty.

    Except for the slightly better Ministry of War, Daming's cabinet, six departments, and six departments are all dysfunctional!

    If Emperor Chongzhen wanted to turn things around, he had to regulate the various departments of the central government first, and clarify the responsibilities of officials at all levels first.

    ? When Zhang Juzheng reformed back then, he first reformed the imperial court, rectified the cabinet, six departments, and six departments, and implemented an administrative performance appraisal system.  Otherwise, the central government will be in chaos, how can reforms be carried out at the local level?

    Chongzhen was just the opposite, taking the lead in disrupting the central government!

    He placed eunuchs in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and directly disabled these two departments with a stick.

    But Chongzhen can't help it. The corruption of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households is too outrageous.  He didn't trust civil officials, so he could only send eunuchs there Then, the greed became even more outrageous.

    DepartmentHave the power to call the shots.

    "That's it." Zhao Han made another decision, "If anyone in the Xu family is unwilling to divide the land or move far away, I will send someone to persuade them. I am reasonable, and I believe the Xu family can do the same.  Listen to the truth."

    Xu Fengcai hesitated to speak, but finally dared not object.

    The Xu family is finished.

    One point for the land property, one point for the family property, scattered and relocated to five provinces, and it is estimated that they can be scattered to more than ten counties.  At that time, the hearts of the Xu clan will be broken, and it is impossible for them to be twisted together again.

    Xu Nianzu was a little scared, even sweating in his vest.

    What Zhao Han said proved that he was extremely afraid of the Xu family.  If he hadn't married his eldest sister, it is estimated that the Xu family would be used to establish a prestige, and it would not be as simple as breaking up and moving away.

    Good risk, good risk!

    While fearful, Xu Nianzu's blood was boiling with passion. This is what a hero looks like.

    The founding monarch, which one is not strong?

    Xu Nianzu looked down upon Zhao Hanruo showing signs of compromise.

    Xu Nianzu stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said: "Please send troops to the south of the Yangtze River immediately!"

    "So anxious?" Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Xu Nianzu said: "South Zhili suffered severe drought this year. Although Zhejiang was not affected by the disaster, there will be famine in Jiangnan this year. The court's taxes are too heavy and they have been increased repeatedly. The people have long been unbearable. If the general town does not send troops, Jiangnan will at least  Hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death!
