Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

Chapter 690 Make The Rules According To The Ming Dynasty!

Su Ran frowned slightly, he could feel Huang Xiaosi's hostility towards him.

"What? Is it possible that your young master has a mysophobia and is ashamed of himself?"

Su Ran asked coldly.

"Insolent!" Huang Xiaosi scolded: "How can my young master be insulted by someone as rude and arrogant as you?"

“It’s simply a matter of life and death!”

"Humph!" Huang Xiaosi shook his sleeves and robe, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Su Ran was left confused, there must be something wrong with this person!!

This time, Su Ran immediately found Xie Mao, the head of the household department, as soon as he came out of the government office.

Xie Mao asked: "Master Su, this development of wasteland and irrigation of farmland is for the purpose of improvement."

"Local economy, how do you think we can provide this money?"

"According to the rules set by Ming Dynasty, all developed land needs to be used for private capital operations,"

"For example, building water conservancy and planting crops... 600... However, because the national treasury is tight,"

"So we can only collect land tax first, but we will also compensate you in other ways."

Su Ran knows that there is not much money in the treasury now,

After all, a lot of things were wiped out in that war decades ago.

And in the end he was seriously injured by the Beiyuan Army.

Therefore, he could only try his best to appease the Ministry of Residential Affairs and prevent them from holding him accountable.

Xie Mao listened and sneered in his heart:

"Okay! It's true that if you don't take the road to heaven, there will be no door to hell to break in."

"Oh, by the way, I can handle the cost of building water conservancy projects. I only need to allocate 30,000 taels of silver."

Su Ran thought of something and added another sentence.

Thirty thousand taels!

Looking at Su Ran's outstretched palm, Xie Mao narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then Xie Mao showed a bright smile and nodded in agreement:

"In that case, let's leave this matter to Mr. Su."

"I hope you can complete your mission as soon as possible and live up to His Majesty's expectations of you.

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving a proud laugh behind him.

Su Ran stood there frowning and thinking for a moment, then turned back to the household department.

"Shilang Su, you are here. Do you think the result of our discussion just now is acceptable?"

Seeing Su Ran coming in, all the officials hurriedly gathered around.

"Well, don't worry, everyone, I have reached an agreement with the head of the Household Department.

"He will support our mining of wasteland,"

"Then our Ministry of Household Affairs collects land tax from the people."

Su Ran explained the matter clearly to everyone.

"Great! This way!"

"We can take out more wasteland (bjac) and reclaim it."

After listening to Su Ran's words, everyone was very excited.

Although the cost this time is huge, it can at least relieve the current pressure on the Ministry of Revenue.

So that they will not be as stretched as they were in the first two months.

"Shilang Su, the news you brought this time is really good. We can finally take a breath now."

Li Decai patted his chest and said happily.

Several other people next to him also looked at him with gratitude.

After all, Su Ran helped them a lot this time.

If it weren't for him, I'm afraid they would still be suppressed now.

Someone asked: "Mr. Su, what should we do next? Should we continue to open up wasteland?"

"Yes! Mr. Su, after this land is opened, I estimate that we will have to open up at least 10,000 acres of wasteland.

Su Ran said: "Well, at the current pace, I expect that we will be able to complete our mission by this time next year."

Everyone exclaimed:

"Ten thousand acres? Oh my god! How long will it take to cultivate ten thousand acres of land?"

"Ten thousand acres is indeed a lot, but we must hurry up."

"I remember there is a party tonight, right?"

"We took this opportunity to gather the people to have a meal together to celebrate.

"By the way, I will tell everyone about these newly opened wastelands, and let everyone start farming next spring."

"Yes! Just do as Mr. Su said,"

"I will immediately notify the Ministry of Finance to prepare an official document and send it to various places,"

"Invite those squires to the banquet.".
