Chapter 148: Li Yun

His ears do not listen to what is going on outside the window, and he only reads the books of the sages.

Outside the Xue Palace, Jiang Qing's family was not idle, and soon reached a new agreement with the government on the development of salt wells.

The main content of the new agreement is to bring money through taxes, but the salt tax is set at a very high level, and the government has taken 50% of the profits.

The two supervisors of the Meishan Salt Tax, plus the Transshipment Division, have changed from direct operators to supervisors, and their duty is to keep an eye on the family and prevent them from evading taxes.

The family got fifty percent, and then established a Sitong firm, through which it held the exclusive right to operate Lingjing salt.

Correspondingly, Sitong Banknote Bank, as a branch of Sitong Firm, issued 150,000 Guanxianjing salt banknotes with the pre-produced salt in the Lingjing area as a margin to supplement the currency shortage in Meishan.

In addition to acceptance, the banknote bank is also responsible for guarantees, small loans, mortgages and many other financial services, which is also something that the Song people have long been old.

The denomination of private banknotes is much smaller than that of Huizi and handing over banknotes, numbering five, two, and one, covering denominations from 500 to 10 yuan, and the printing is well-printed, and the currency value is stiff. Once it was launched, it immediately became a popular credit currency used in daily exchanges in the Bishan area.

In order to keep the production on par with the value of the issued currency, new boreholes around Dahong Well and Wulong Well were drilled in full swing.

With so much capital, the Jiang Qing family began to purchase cattle and horses on a large scale to replace the insufficient manpower.

Most of the cattle and horses, the Erlin Department was mobilized from their own tribes, and some of them came from Dali and Tibet.

On the Southern Trade Road, for a while, the bell of the horse gang was endless.

No one would be stupid enough to only bring cattle and horses, they carry them on their backs, and generally have southwestern goods.

Things are becoming more and more valuable: rattan ware, bronze ware, incense medicine, rhino elephants, fire cloth, all kinds of southern gemstones......

A recruitment notice was posted on the wharf, with a daily wage of 250 yuan, two meals, a dormitory, and a family to recruit homeless people to go to work in the mausoleum.

Meishan Mansion posted an official document that whoever comes to Meizhou to engage in well work, the family is responsible for paying off the debt, without interest, and can be returned slowly in installments. The state government is responsible for resettlement, and after one year, depending on the results of the work, it will be registered in Lingjing.

Displaced people, fugitives, can take this opportunity to become the Great Song Dynasty household Qi people again.

As soon as this policy was introduced, Meishan Wharf immediately became a poor family called Huaziying, dragging their children with mouths, and the farthest from Kuizhou came by boat to beg, and there was an endless stream along the way.

The car and boat shop should be killed if he is not guilty.

However, the Sanjianghe Gang, in this personnel transfer, actually played the role of a great benevolent.

It's not that I don't want to be oppressed, but the problem is that those people who take the boat are poorer than Lao Tzu! A few strands of rags on his body and a broken bowl in his hand, this is really not a little oil star!

If it weren't for the stilted beef that Young Master Su had eaten for half a year, now there is a chance to repay him, and Jiang Qing will give money according to the head, and the old men will not take this errand if they are killed, they will not be unlucky!

Therefore, although the men were rude in their words, rough in their behavior, and their hands and feet were not clean to the female customers, when they arrived at the Meishan Wharf, they received a lot of thanks.

Because when I arrived at Meishan Wharf, I could count my life as earned.

The wharf shelter, the land temple, all the manpower was put into the busy relief activities.

Cheng Sansan's shopkeeper sat at the dock and personally commanded, looking at the ragged crowd and the eight mothers and twenty-seven mothers who were so busy that their foreheads were sweating, they kept shaking their heads: "Evil, how can there be so many bitter people in my Great Song Dynasty......"

The county man also shook his head next to him, and knocked the notebook in front of him with a pen tube: "On weekdays, I am attached to Haoqiang, and once something happens, these people will not be far from death." You see, this family, with only 520 yuan, was forced to flee with their family. Miserable, really miserable......"

A few people around him immediately flattered the two great good people, who played the role of the people in the contract, signed a paperwork, and got a share of the money.

Cheng San said: "Five hundred Wen, isn't it two days' wages in Meishan City?" ”

The county shook his head: "This is a farmer, Lao Cheng, you are the rest of the place, you need so much labor?" Five hundred wen is nearly one stone of rice. A destitute home, porridge and vegetables to live, do you think they can get nearly 100 catties of stored grain? ”

Cheng San shook his head: "It's still Zhang Gongrende, and he understands the people's feelings." If the negative is more than consistent, only the consistent is the top case. ”

The county man rolled his eyes: "Lao Cheng, do you think that this way the officials will have no chance to start?" If the lawsuits in the states and counties are fought, they will definitely inflate and falsely report. ”

Cheng San said with a smile: "False reports are false reports, Zhang Gong said, too much negative returns, indicating that there is a lot of grief under the rule, then it will affect the performance appraisal, and it will not be transferred within three years." The future and greed can only be chosen. ”

The county man laughed: "There is also the problem of hidden households, and the displaced people who fled several years ago are now also a knife hanging over their heads." The meaning is very clear, this is a chance to wipe everyone's ass, and those who should settle the accounts should settle the accounts quickly. ”

"If you lose those Dingkou, you can immediately use the hidden household to go up, and the Ding tax field is usually not as high as the output in the field. You see, in short, the benefits don't fall into the hands of others. ”

Cheng San said: "Let's sweep the snow in front of the door, and just get by." What the bachelor wants is political achievements, and it is to make the mouth of the hidden households who are in arrears and fugitives in various places smaller, not to rectify the officialdom. Therefore, the states and counties below are afraid to be grateful to Dade. ”

The county man sighed continuously: "So people can do the calculation, straight bachelor!" Lao Cheng, you and I can only sit on the dock and bask in the sun! ”

Another shipload of immigrants arrived, and the two stopped chatting and sat up straight, waiting for a new round of registration.

It's already April, and it's the time of the scarcity, and the number of immigrants has reached a peak in the past few days.

A boatload of people came down, took the family as a unit, each led a coarse linen shirt, first went to take a shower, washed and changed clothes, went to the greenhouse to receive a bowl of beef bone soup and rice, and came to register in turn after eating.

There was a scholar of nearly thirty on this ship, and after everyone else had washed up, he was still wearing his own shabby shirt.

Sitting on the stone steps of the pier, the scholar held a large bowl, and tears fell into the bowl.

A woman with a child in her arms appears to be his wife and children.

Cheng San beckoned to him: "The man over there, yes, the one in the robe, that is, you, come here." ”

The scholar hurriedly wiped his face, tidied up his tattered clothes, and came over to bow to Cheng San and the county Cheng: "The student has seen two benevolent fathers. ”

Cheng San waved his hand: "I'm not a ben gong, en gong is a few masters of the family, you are a scholar?" ”

The man arched his hand and said: "The student is ashamed, he has studied for a few years, and he is ashamed of his ancestors." ”

Cheng San asked, "Why don't you change into new clothes?" ”

The man bowed: "The student was taught by the saint at an early age, so he didn't want to change his shirt." ”

Cheng San couldn't help but shake his head: "Stubborn." But if you have this will, you can also do it. ”

The county clerk turned the book over: "This paragraph, read it." ”

The man took the book and read: "There is Huang Youtian from Luzhou, and his wife Huang Zhang, a son and four years old, a total of three. April Bingshen to the eyebrows. said that there was no harvest in the past year, and the arrears of rent were given to Hegu with one stone and three liters, and he was panicked and had no plan, and his family fled. Now I am willing to abandon the land to pay for it, and I will go to Meishan again, and I will never regret it. ”

The county nodded: "Who are you?" Since he is a scholar, how can he also join the team of non-escapes? ”

The man's face was full of shame: "The student is in pain, and I can't bear to say it." ”

The county said: "If you want to settle in my Meishan, you must be innocent." If you don't say it, we can't take you. ”

The man arched his hand and said: "Student Li Yun, a person from Shujing, has a clean net worth. There are also a few salt households in the same industry that can vouch for students. ”

The county nodded and said, "That's okay, do you have any debts?" ”

The man said: "Students don't have any debts, they just want to find a livelihood in Meishan and start their lives again." ”

The county said: "Then you go to eat first, and then bring a few families with the guarantee after eating." ”

The man bowed and went.

Cheng San said: "Looking at this temperament, he is really a scholar." ”

The county snorted: "I'm afraid that I am too pedantic and upright, and I will offend the local heroes, so that I can't accommodate it." It's all up to this one, and I still have to guard the identity of the reader......"

After speaking, he pointed to his brain: "I'm afraid there is something wrong here." ”

When Li Yun returned to his daughter-in-law, he saw two children standing in front of his daughter-in-law.

One is a teenager and the other is five or six years old, it is Zhang Qi and Su Xiaomei.

I saw Su Xiaomei take out an egg and open it, and put the yolk into her daughter-in-law's bowl: "My brother is still young, and he has been hungry for a long time." Lady, you soak rice in rice soup and egg yolk, don't let your brother touch the meat first. ”

The lady of Li Yun's family thanked her in a low voice, but Zhang Qi looked impatient: "Little sister, let's go, Banniang called us." And if you give away the daily quota of eggs, the second brother will be angry when he knows it. ”

The lethality of the second brother is equal to zero mathematically in Su Xiaomei, Su Xiaomei raised her head, found that there was one more scholar, and said, "You are the husband of this lady?" Scholar? ”

Li Yun saw that although Su Xiaomei was plain, she was clean and cute, her eyes were smart, and she had just given eggs to her child, so she didn't dare to slack off: "Thank you, little lady, I have been reading for a few years." ”
