Chapter 709: Government Affairs
For the next few days, Diao Chan was still unconscious, but it didn't seem to have any tendency to continue to deteriorate, and Tyumen's heart finally relaxed, and he had the time and energy to deal with some daily affairs.
In recent years, Dengzhou has been prosperous and prosperous, so it has attracted many foreign refugees to settle down. These displaced people were either destroyed by the Yellow Turban Rebellion or forced to leave their homes because of excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but they all found their home in Dengzhou. However, as Dengzhou's reputation grew, more and more displaced people came to join it, and everyone demanded their own land, which made Dengzhou a little overwhelmed.
Qiu Ming carefully flipped through the account books and atlases handed by Ju Kong, pretended to understand and asked: "I remember that there should still be some ownerless land on both sides of the Tuan River, and there should be a lot of wasteland on Zhulian Mountain in the west, why is it not enough?" ”
Ju Kong said: "The turbulent river has been flooding year after year, and this year there has been a white jiao, and the land on the bank has been submerged, and the crops have been destroyed. Zhulian Mountain is a stone mountain, it is not easy to open up wasteland, and it is far away from the county seat, the traffic is very inconvenient, and no one wants it. ”
Qiu Ming stiffened his face: "It's just some homeless people, it's good to have a place to stay, and they actually pick and choose, if you want it, don't pull it down." ”
Guo Jia said with a smile: "I can't say that, most of these people are recruited by us to recruit people, if we can settle down, it will naturally be of great benefit to Dengzhou." Moreover, those who have permanent property have perseverance, and if these people have no land and nothing to do, they will inevitably provoke and make trouble, which will bring us great trouble. ”
"Yes", Guo Yuan took a step forward and said: "The number of large and small cases that occurred in the city this month is thirty percent more than one or two months ago, and nearly eighty percent more than a year ago. If this continues, I am afraid that there will be a shortage of personnel to maintain law and order in the city, so I will have to borrow people from Lieutenant Cui County. ”
"Cui Jie? No, you can't use his people, that would add to the confusion. Tyumen thought for a while: "Wouldn't it be better for us to build water conservancy and reclaim wasteland, so that we can get more land and use these idle people?" ”
Jukong said: "Yes, yes, but this year has passed the sowing season, even if the land is reclaimed, it will not be harvested until next year, so many people spend a lot of money in a year." ”
Tyuming was surprised: "Why are we starting to lack money now?" ”
Ju Kong nodded and said: "Yes, we bought food twice in the Battle of Changsha, and we have already spent most of the floating wealth for you, and we will donate officials to Wei Yan next, and we will have to raise so many displaced people, I am afraid that it will not be enough." ”
Chen Zhen also said: "In the past two days, the shops of the Mi family have been closing their shops and leaving, disturbing the people in the city, and many shops are also watching. ”
Qiu Ming sneered: "Mi family? I believe that Mi Zhu is a smart person, and he will not delay his business because of a moment of anger, and he doesn't have to be an enemy if he doesn't have to be an in-law. Moreover, the geographical location of Dengzhou is so good, if the Mi family does not come, there will naturally be other people coming, so there is no need to worry too much about this. As for the homeless people, they can't be kept in vain, in addition to having to serve hard labor, the county can also give them a loan first, and then return it with interest when they have income. ”
Hearing Qiu Ming's words, several people present were shocked, and said together: "Absolutely not, the law of credit is Wang Mang's maladministration, and the county should not follow in his footsteps." ”
Eh, it turns out that the crossing brother has been scolded once because of this, the economic base determines the superstructure, it seems that everything can only be done gradually, not in a hurry, but it is a pity that he is two thousand years ahead of the advanced concept of this era. Alas, what use do I want this iron rod, what use do I want this change, depressed.
Several strategists discussed for a long time and did not come up with an effective method, but Tyuming was already wandering into the world, and he didn't even notice when they left, and when he looked up again, he found that the one standing in front of him had been replaced by Dian Wei. Tyuming smiled: "What? Any good news? ”
Dian Wei said: "After contact in the past few days, I think Hu Che'er is not bad, he has a straightforward temperament and filial piety to his mother, and he drinks a lot, and he looks like a good man." I solicited him as you wished, and he seemed to be a little moved, but he didn't nod his head yet. ”
Qiu Ming said: "Well, you did a good job, this time we went to Luoyang, and we also took him with us, I hope to make him return to his heart." ”
"This guy is just a Hu man, and his skills are not very good, do you need to value him like this?"
Qiu Ming smiled and said: "I don't value him, I value the Mangu gangsters in his clan." ”
"I've heard you say mangu so many times, what the hell is this?"
Qiu Ming thought for a while: "Actually, I don't know much, it's probably a kind of training and use method of archers, it is said that it can dominate the world." ”
Dian Wei wanted to ask again, and it was rumored that the two sons of the Yuan family asked to see him, Qiu Ming clapped his hands and stood up, and personally went to the gate to greet Yuan Tan and Yuan Shang.
Yuan Shang has been a golden pimple in the eyes of his parents and grandparents since he was a child, and he has always been raised in Ruyang's home and is not allowed to go out, this time he was able to follow his eldest brother out, and he felt very novel when he saw everything, especially the prosperity and wealth of Dengzhou, which really opened his eyes. Although Yuan Tan has a wide range of knowledge, he is also secretly surprised, as far as he can see, the autumn market here is not much better than the west market in Luoyang, and over time, Dengzhou may really be able to surpass Wancheng and become one of the best cities in the Central Plains.
Under Tyuming's special arrangement, Er Yuan had a lot of fun in Dengzhou, so they were grateful to Tyuming, but what they didn't expect was that Tyumen was even more grateful for their arrival. The arrival of the son of the Yuan family in Dengzhou is equivalent to transmitting a message to the outside world, Qiuming in Dengzhou, our old Yuan family is covered, and those who want to provoke trouble weigh it themselves.
Under such circumstances, not only did the powerful families in Dengzhou once again express their submission to Qiuming, but even Wang Rui, the assassin of Jingzhou, also came to show his goodwill, and Zhang Zhi also changed his attitude, so it can be said that the political environment in Qiuming is much more relaxed now. He naturally knew Yuan Shao's intentions, but this kindness was something he couldn't refuse, as for whether it was friend or foe in the future, then let's see when the time came.
As soon as Yuan Tan saw Qiu Ming, he said, "After waiting for these few days, has my uncle's family affairs been dealt with?" You can go to Luoyang, right? ”
