Chapter 112 Separation of powers
The Lord Shi on the side is not a vegetarian, he is a ruthless character who has seen a battle with the Tartars and killed an unknown number of horse thieves, and the murderous aura on his body seems to be swishing out, making people tremble at the sight.
But I didn't expect that after coming to Dashigu, I saw such a scene.
Everything has completely changed.
On the west bank of the Gan River, the original barren grass and wilderness are all gone, replaced by pieces of fertile land, and the fertile land spreads straight into the distance, which is simply boundless and vast. The people were ploughing in it, the big oxen pulling the plows, the people supporting the back, and in the sound of mooing oxen, black waves rolled out of the ground.
On a slightly higher ground, there is a house. The houses were very simple, but they were clean, with walls of stones and twigs mixed with mud, thatched on top, and a fence made of wood outside, and it was almost noon, and I thought that someone had already started cooking, and the smell of food wafted in the wind.
And in the farthest distance, a majestic city with high walls stands against the mountain.
These military households, who had not eaten a grain of rice in the morning, couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and their stomachs were full of worms.
"Lord Shi, the Lord ordered the students to wait here early this morning, and sure enough, this is the time to wait, Lord Shi is really resolute in doing things."
A voice floated in, and everyone followed the sound to look, this. One. Root. Read. In the novel, xstxt found out that a bridge was built over the Gan River, and a table was set up at the head of the bridge here, and a person behind the table was waving and shouting to this side. This man was dressed as a scholar, and behind him stood two soldiers with swords.
Shi Jin smiled slightly, but did not answer.
He turned to the soldiers and said, "Then you go to the white scribe and register your name, place of origin, age, business, etc. ”
Seeing that some people showed worried expressions, he added: "Don't worry, I won't be greedy for anything of you, don't you know what kind of character we are?" ”
The military households responded one after another, and some of them who were familiar with him in the past smiled and said, "Lord Shi, how dare we think so?" Master Dong is a unique figure in the world, and he can see that we are our luck. ”
All the military households went to Bai Zhongqi to register, but Shi Jin led the carriage and ox cart to the bridge.
Although the bridge is built temporarily, it is not a tofu slag project, the lower piers are made of big stones, strong and tight, and the upper bridge plate is a few thick large wooden surfaces flattened, and then the wooden planks nailed on the top are very strong. The carriage rolled over and headed straight for Fort Rock.
Dong Ce looked at it from a distance on the city wall, and his brows stretched a lot.
These military households who moved over are much stronger than the poor and white people before, not only are there more people, but they also have a lot of belongings they have saved, although they are not worth much money, but it is always good to worry about it without Dong Ce's help. Some people even brought ploughing cattle, although the number of ploughing cattle did not exceed twenty, and most of them were old and thin, but this was enough to make Dong Ce overjoyed.
With these military households, even if the strength of the Rock Fort has reached the standard of a military fort, even if there are no homeless people to join, the strength is already strong enough.
And he didn't expect that Shi Jin also brought him a surprise.
The carriage drove directly into the city gate, and Shi Jin raised his voice towards the city gate tower: "My lord, look at who is coming." ”
The groom had already jumped out of the carriage and knelt on the ground, his face staring at the ground, where did he dare to look? Shi Jin also hurriedly turned his face away.
Dong Ce looked down, and the curtain of the carriage trembled slightly, revealing a pretty face that was disgusting and happy.
"Redsleeves, why are you here?"
Dong Ce was surprised and delighted.
……
Soon, the statistics were sent to Dong Ce.
There are 66 military households in total, of which there are 149 males, of which 116 are strong men over 15 years old, 169 are women, 136 are strong women over 13 years old, and 33 are under 13 years old.
At this moment, almost half of the population of Shilipu was moved.
The number of households is not much, but the number of people is beyond Dong Ce's expectations, there are 318 people, but think about it, there is neither a family planning policy nor contraception in this era, and at night there is no other place to go but to make a little person at home, so this child is naturally born out of the house. In this day and age, it is normal for a family to have four or five children – and due to the underdevelopment of medical technology and infectious diseases, many families have lost one or more children.
As the saying goes, half the size of the child, eat the poor, and the children can't afford to raise more, which is also an extremely important reason for their poverty.
Next, Dong Ce presided over the distribution of fields to these military households, and distributed them to ploughing cattle, farm tools, etc. He must preside over this process, and the gratitude of these military households can only fall on him.
This is his city, his army.
As he expected, these military households were the same as the people who had been divided up before, they were all ecstatic, and many of them cried excitedly, and they were even more grateful to Dong Ce.
It's just that their policies are slightly different from the ones that came before.
People who have their own ploughing cattle and farming tools only need to pay four buckets per mu of land, which is less than the amount of three liters and five hes of those who do not have ploughing cattle, but do not underestimate these three liters and five he, sometimes, this little grain can determine the life and death of a family. Among the homeless, this food is enough to make you sleep with seven or eight yellow flower girls.
You must know that when Dong Ce formulated this payment standard, he was actually quite hard-hearted.
Removing all kinds of expenses in the process of cultivating land, removing the consumption of ploughing cattle, removing all kinds of daily necessities, and then paying the grain stipulated by Dong Ce, the rest is just enough for the people to be fed. As for wanting to eat meat, it's a dream - Dong Ce has already issued a rule prohibiting private hunting and fishing.
Of course, in the minds of people in this era, being able to eat enough is already the greatest happiness.
After dividing the land, Dong Ce said: "The man will give 20 acres of land, and the woman will give 10 acres of land, or this kind of fertile land, and this kind of fertile land, if you send notices and post them everywhere, who doesn't want to come to Rock Fort?" Where's your business? The reason why your sixty-six families were able to come here is because the men of your family have fought side by side with this official, and they are here with this love. In the future, you can be here for a good life, be diligent and obedient, don't make mistakes and ruin your family! ”
Naturally, the crowd obeyed the order.
After they received farm tools and ploughing cattle, Dong Ce called the sixty-six soldiers over and took care of them.
These soldiers admired and respected him, and now they are more grateful, and they are eager to die for him.
"Your Excellency." Waiting for everyone to disperse, Shi Jin, who had been waiting on the side, came in, his face was a little gloomy, and he said, "Liu Daku's house is becoming more and more rampant. This time, many military households did not have a complete set of clothes to wear, so I asked him to go to the treasury to pick them up, but he refused to give them, only saying that he did not have them. In addition, according to the usual practice, each person must carry a spear, a waist knife, a mandarin duck jacket, and a felt hat, but he only said no. The door to the warehouse was open, and I could see what was inside. ”
"This old thing, I hate to slash him with a knife!"
"Thank you for not hacking him." Dong Ce's face immediately turned cold, but it was only for a short moment, and he returned to normal: "Liu Daku's house is a nail laid by Hou Jiawei'an in Shili, he just thinks that others can't help him." Now move him. It's also unwise. Let him wander for two days, and ignore it. ”
It was night, and the hall of Dong Ce's 100 official halls was brightly lit.
Dong Ce summoned all his henchmen and assigned their functions.
Shi Jin, Wang Hun, Zhou Bo, Zhou Zhong, Wang Tong, Wang Yu, Su Dacheng, Li Gui, needless to say, even the Zhai family girl, Yelu Lihe and Ma Lin were all summoned.
Everyone's faces were very solemn, but Dong Ce could see their excitement from their eyes, this time it was actually a simple distribution of power, and it also had a great impact on their future status.
After everyone came, Dong Ce said in a deep voice: "Don't gossip, our Rock Fort now has a large number of people, and it has gradually gained scale, but it can't be as messy and noisy as before, and it must be divided into functions and determined personal errands." It is easy to manage, and if something happens, it is easy to investigate people! ”
He glanced at everyone, and his eyes were the first to look at Wang Tong: "Wang Tong, you are in charge of the errand of cultivating the land, but all the distribution and dispatch of grain, ploughing cattle, and farm tools, the excavation and cleaning of irrigation canals, the people's residences, etc., should be dealt with. ”
Wang Tong took a deep breath, walked up to Dong Ce, kowtowed, and said loudly: "Obey the order!" ”
"Su Dacheng, you are in charge of the routine of the warehouse, no matter who you are, as long as you go to the warehouse to get something, you must have the official's note."
"Mark and obey!"
"Li Gui, you are responsible for the allocation of materials, the distribution of rations needed by the people, the distribution of clothing and weapons, etc., all from your hands."
Li Gui's stiff waist stood up straight at this moment, and he said proudly: "Obey the order!" ”
Everyone else followed Dong Ce to serve, but he was left in Anxiangdun, and he was worried for a while, thinking that he was going to be abandoned, but he didn't expect to be recruited today, but he was entrusted with such an important errand, and his heart suddenly became sincerely afraid.
"Wang Yu, in charge of shipbuilding, fishing, weaving nets, and building bridges."
"Mark and obey!"
"Yelu Lihe, responsible for military law, anyone who has illegal things can be taken down directly!"
"Slaves obey!"
"Zhou Zhong, responsible for scouting the wind during the day and night, guarding against horse thieves and Tartars."
"Obey the mark."
"Uncle Zhou, responsible for the daily procurement."
"Obey the mark."
