Chapter 615 The first female official
Gu Nanxi actually came very early because she was dressed in a low-key manner and kept following them silently, which made the whole process complete.
Lu Hongniang looked along everyone's eyes and saw a man and a woman standing at the end of the team.
They were wearing ordinary robes and looked similar to ordinary people, but their eyes were so bright and firm.
"Go to Duke Yun."
Lu Maoniang saluted without being humble or arrogant.
"Is this the degree of rule? Why have I never seen it before? You invented it?" Gu Nanxi was very interested in the tools in Lu Maoniang's hand.
Lu Qing was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Lu Maoniang was very open-minded: "It's not me, it was when I was traveling to Guizhou, and I asked the clerks responsible for surveying and mapping. Guizhou is full of mountainous land and terraced fields, and they are rich in experience." >
Gu Nanxi looked at Lu Maoniang with great appreciation: "What is the calculation method of the area of terraces?"
Lu Hongniang knew that this was an exam. Although she didn't understand why Duke Yun was interested in her, she still said confidently.
"The difference between the measured length multiplied by the width minus the slope loss. The total area is accumulated by each layer."
Others are not sure whether Lu Maoniang said it correctly, but Gu Nanxi knows it !
Gu Nanxi's smile on her face became even worse. We have to admit that there are still talents in the aristocratic family.
Gu Nanxi continued to ask: "How to measure the fields in waters?"
This problem is not difficult for Lu Maoniang. "You can use the water level ruler method. Insert marks to record the water level of the four seasons and convert the effective farming area according to the flooding cycle."
Lu Hongniang saw that Gu Nanxi valued measurement and transmission, so she put herself on Speak all your experiences.
"In actual measurement of land, the most basic measurement methods are the square field method and the string field method. The square field method mainly uses a step bow to measure the four sides, which is the easiest. The string field method requires the use of the string field method to the rope ruler. "
"When facing an irregular field, it can be decomposed into multiple similar triangles and convert the total area through proportions."
It is rare to see a high-ranking official holding great power, and it is not sure if there will be such a good opportunity in the future. So I simply put out the experience of observing and learning over the years.
The best thing that Duke Yun can adopt is. If he cannot adopt it, he will be worthy of his conscience and be worthy of his years of study abroad.
"According to my observation, all counties in the Great Zhou Dynasty have a large number of hidden fields. Among them, in addition to colluding with the clerks, the measurement methods are backward, the efficiency is not high, and the standards for setting acres in the system are different. The reason. I have been to Shuozhou, and Shuozhou also has the same problem."
Li Mingde frowned: "It is impossible for Shuozhou to have hidden fields."
The powerful people in Shuozhou were fucked What did my mother do? How dare she make small moves? !
Lu Hongniang corrected: "The core of dividing a mu in the system is actually to define the boundary by the lining and calculate the tax by the acre. The unclear boundary is likely to lead to a hundred-year conflict between the two villages. The data on the acres are inaccurate, and if the definite is insufficient, it will affect the tax revenue. If you set too much, it will increase the burden on the people. There is no hidden land in Shuozhou, but its acres are definitely not accurate."
Gu Nanxi raised his eyebrows: "So sure?"
Lu Maoniang raised her slap slightly, her eyes showing confidence in her abilities: "I'm sure!"
"Okay! Madam Lu, this place is not suitable for us to discuss in detail, why not move to the governor's mansion?"< "Good!" Lu Maoniang's words have actually been thinking about for many years.
She stepped on the Great Zhou with her feet, focusing on surveying and mapping the fields, learning from others' strengths, and forming her own way.
Unfortunately, she is just a woman. No matter how much experience she has, no one wants to listen.
Since Duke of Yun is willing to listen, Lu Maoniang must say it with pleasure!
Gu Nanxi only invited Lu Hongniang, but did not invite Cui Letian and others.
Cui Letian and others had to go back to the post station obediently, but Lu Qing still followed with shamelessness with the excuse of serving tea and water to his aunt. The lights are brightly lit in the governor's mansion.
Gu Nanxi asked Li Mingde to call all the students of Baichuan Academy who could call over and the officials who were useful.
In less than half an hour, the originally spacious lobby was filled with flowers.
The lobby is arranged like a college. Gu Nanxi and Lu Maoniang sat at the top, sitting opposite each other across a table.
The officials were sitting neatly below. There was a table in front of them, with paper, pen and ink on it.
This is a school exam and a teaching.
Gu Nanxi stretched out his hand and made an invitation: "Miss Lu, please speak freely."
Lu Maoniang thought it was just an ordinary match, but she didn't expect that the situation was like this So big.
It can also be seen from this that Duke Yun values this matter and himself.
In an instant, Lu Hongniang felt excited and a sense of pride arose in her heart.
I have been studying for decades, just for this moment today!
Lu Maoniang took a deep breath, sorted out what she wanted to say in her mind, and then she slowly spoke.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
"All dynasties have been the top priority. My father once said that whenever land annexation is serious to a certain extent, the regime will be in turmoil. Therefore, managing the land well is an important task. If you want to manage it, you will be in turmoil. OK, you have to measure it first."
Gu Nanxi nodded. Judging from the current level of productivity, the Great Zhou is still an agricultural society, and the fields are the foundation.
This is why Gu Nanxi attaches so much importance to this field survey.
If you don’t even know how much farmland you have on your territory, how can you talk about management?
Lu Hongniang saw the affirmation of Gu Nanxi in her eyes, and a stone in her heart fell down and continued.
"In the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the sun was measured by the gui and the sun was measured, and the straight lines were drawn with a standard rope. The square was well, and the eight families had a well together."
Gu Nanxi nodded.
There are 900 mu of square wells, 100 mu of centrally are public fields, 800 mu of surrounding areas, and 100 mu of surrounding households each cultivate one hundred mu of them. This is the well field system.
Lu Maoniang: "During the Qin and Han dynasties, the Tian Sufu was established to measure the full-time measurement and invented the method of setting the line between the two oxes. The vertical direction is the field, the horizontal direction is the street, and the horizontal direction is the street, and the field boundary is divided."
"Wait until we are The big Zhou mainly uses the square field method, five miles per square by five miles, and divides the terrain into flat slopes, and then divides the third level, and turns the acres according to the slope."
In the field I am familiar with, Lu Hongniang's Unparalleled confidence.
Her eyes became sharper: "But even so, there is still a lot of room for action in surveying and mapping. For example, you can falsely report non-cultural land in the name of [Tanglu Ditch]."
A young official below suddenly looked solemn.
He was transferred from Shuozhou.
He was once responsible for field surveying and registration in Wudu County, Shuozhou.
At that time, there were indeed many fields with large and small ponds.
Although all the farmland in Shuozhou belongs to the government office, it is impossible for the government office to keep an eye on the autumn harvest of every household at all times.
What's more, when collecting taxes, taxes are collected based on the registered land acres and the average yield per mu.
Duke Yun is kind to the people and takes the average downwards. This move itself gives some of the benefits to the people.
But if this part of the lost land is added and sand forms a tower, it will have a great impact on Shuozhou's tax revenue!
Others also knew the importance of this matter and sounded more attentively.
