Chongzhen said: "I originally thought that the Marquis of Dongping would be able to make a windfall again, but I didn't expect that he was not prepared to fill his own pockets at all, but let me take it from the people and the people." ”

Wang Chengen said: "Dongping Hou is actually better at management, and the mess can't prevent him from making money, and he refuses to hoard Juqi and raise the price of grain to earn ill-gotten gains."

Blessed are the people who dredged the river this year, and the black-hearted businessmen who hoarded grain in the past few months to sell it at a high price may not be able to do so. ”

Chongzhen was woken up by Wang Chengen, and he secretly felt that many scholars and doctors might have a deeper reason for Huang Han.

If Huang Han had obtained tens of millions of stone of grain, he would still have adopted the method of charging 10% interest for half a year to give the Shengdou small people a fixed amount of money to borrow rations from their families, and the businessmen who were ready to make a fortune by pushing up the price of grain would probably lose a lot of money.

The emperor is not stupid, he knows that businessmen and civil officials and military generals have something to do with each other. He said:

"The South Canal, the Wei River, and the Zhanghe River are seriously silted up, and in recent years, local officials have repeatedly written to the imperial court asking the Ministry of Industry to take the lead in dredging the river.

Who to send to manage so that there is no chaos? Hundreds of thousands of people gathered at the construction site of the river, which needs a strong army and a responsible general to manage, and Dongpinghou is the most suitable. ”

Wang Chengen said: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Dongping should know in his heart that he has offended many civil and military generals by occupying so much fertile land, if it is not for the protection of the Son of Heaven, how can there be an autumn harvest, so he took the initiative to ask for work for relief." ”

Chongzhen was originally going to take action to rectify the bullying Huang Han, and by the way, he confiscated some of the grain, but who knew that people didn't think about swallowing those harvests at all, which was equivalent to taking the initiative to send hundreds of thousands of stones to the imperial court.

Huang Han is this attitude, of course the emperor can't be a villain in vain, he knows that no one will bite those ownerless acres to make a fuss in the future, and said leisurely: "The Marquis of Dongping has rules and regulations for the officials and soldiers on the horse, and the people on the horse, and even the corruption is very atmospheric, but unfortunately there are too few such talents." ”

Wang Chengen heard the sound outside the strings, and knew that in this way, no one would dare to ask for the acres of land that Huang Han had embezzled in the future, so he immediately shut up very obediently.

The emperor was actually mixed in his heart at this time, he knew very well the stakes, Huang Han's resettlement of displaced people in Zhangde Mansion would win the hearts of the people, and then mobilize hundreds of thousands of people to pay for labor, wouldn't the hearts of the people in more than a dozen prefectures and counties be won by Huang Han?

Chongzhen really didn't ignore the small people of Shengdou, he was willing to see the people live and work in peace and contentment, and after seeing Huang Han's performance, he agreed again and again.

He issued an order to strictly order the state governments along the route to organize manpower and obey the dispatch of the Marquis of Dongping, but he instructed officials at all levels to carry out propaganda with great fanfare, and to highlight that the imperial court was the master of this project to benefit the people.

There was no need to produce food, and those who participated in the work were able to get food and silver, and the government was very active along the way, and it really achieved great fanfare.

Because the dredging of rivers and the convenience of transportation, the local government will benefit the most, and the increased water storage of reservoirs, rivers and lakes will also increase the ability of farmers to resist drought.

The magistrates personally sent officials and officials to cooperate with the Shengtianzi, and the head of the Ministry of Industry and the Marquis of Dongping participated in the river-picking movement to maintain order.

Huang Han, who received the holy decree, immediately took action, he was not stupid, and asked the magistrates to raise flags and banners.

The content written on the banners and banners is simple, it is nothing more than "The emperor's grace is vast, and the work is for relief." "Thank you to the Son of Heaven for the well-being of the people!" "Make a lot of effort and sweat to repay the emperor's kindness!" and other promotional slogans.

The purpose is, of course, to emphasize that this time the labor is the emperor's favor, and the Marquis of Dongping is just an executor.

Patting sycophants is a compulsory course for officials, touting that officials at all levels of the emperor are happy to do this, and the slogan of thanking the Son of Heaven is shaking the sky.

There was no way not to make a sound, because the bad Huang Han ordered to go down, and all the laborers had to choose the banner or the slogan on the banner to shout at least three times when eating.

Soon, Jinyiwei and Dongchang's spies reported everything they saw to their superiors, and Cao Huachun immediately replied to the people how grateful they were to the Son of Heaven.

Attitude is everything, Huang Han's lack of credit is enough to prove his attitude towards the emperor, listening to Cao Huachun say that the common people are singing praises every day, the young emperor's worries have been alleviated a lot.

It was possible that the administrators sent by the local government would withhold the wages received by the laborers, and all the food and wages would be distributed by the "Red Banner Army" youths.

Through observation, they will organize the laborers into ten people as the basic unit, select one chief for management, ten for a team of 100 people, select one hundred general and two deputy hundred generals, and three hundred general for one general manager......

This kind of management is not created by teenagers, but is similar to the management model of the "Red Flag Army" including miscellaneous military service, and the teenagers will be able to manage tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people as long as they manage the leaders of 100, and 1,000 and so on.

After the organizational structure was formed, the "Red Flag Army" only needed to convene a meeting of the leaders of more than 100 captains, and they would be able to give up and down the situation, and the management would naturally be much easier.

Everyone loves to be an official, and the peasants are no exception, and the salary of the selected small head is at least doubled, and there is no doubt about his enthusiasm.

The person who becomes the chief of the department takes ten fellow villagers to work every day, and he himself will be paid an extra ten yuan a day, and the selected hundred will always get twenty yuan more than ordinary laborers, and the deputy hundred will get sixteen yuan more.

These chiefs and hundred generals are all elected by fellow villagers and decided by the young soldiers after inspection.

As long as it is not a bully or hooligan who has always run rampant in the township, and as long as it is not the common people who are elected against their will because they are afraid, in principle, respect the choice of the villagers.

The officials and officials sent by the county and state governments were basically appointed to temporary errands such as the general manager or the general manager, and they could be paid more than 40 yuan a day.

The officials and officials have a guaranteed income in their respective yamen, and the laborers who come to the construction site to manage them will definitely not have the opportunity to intercept the fat and private because they do not handle the distribution of money and grain, but they can receive a manager's remuneration in a dignified manner.

This is equivalent to income other than wages, and the officials and officials who were reluctant to come to the construction site to suffer found that the "Red Flag Army" did not treat everyone badly, and immediately had a mental head.

There has never been a time when you have been paid for the labor of the government, and many ordinary people who were brought to the construction site by the officials and officials at the beginning of the construction were unbelievable.

The "Red Banner Army" teenagers adopted the working method of giving benefits directly without talking nonsense, and paid the laborers three days' wages in advance on the spot, so that everyone ate potatoes and sweet potatoes according to the ration.

The ration is relatively sufficient, basically able to ensure that the vast majority of strong laborers are full, and this style is still for the sake of saving food, and it is also to prevent the young and middle-aged people who come to work because they have free food to eat.
