The boats went up against the river, making a splash, and the people cheered even louder.

Some people also deliberately got off the boat in Jiang and Ning and asked, have you ever heard of Jingminwei? It's not very far, and besides, it's so noisy that I replied that I heard about it. How is life in the polder, and said with an envious tone, at the moment it is all fifth-class households, but it will become a third-class household in a few years.

It is not easy, in addition to selling silkworm cocoons to pay business tax, all other Yuze mulberry and hemp taxes are exempted, but with the addition of Ding tax, the actual tax payment is close to two-tenths.

It is Zheng Lang here, in exchange for other officials, the people in the Wei are so rich, they will apportionment other miscellaneous taxes, which will inevitably exceed 20%. There is food and drink at home, and there are disaster years, and the flood season will not break the polder, but there will be waterlogging.

It's good to be able to have three achievements left.

Now it is counted as rice, not rice, that is, on average, the disposable amount of money is only 40 yuan a year. The rest depends on the vastness of each person's magical powers, some people will take the opportunity to jump into a third-class household, but most people are still fourth-class households, and they have been fourth-class households all their lives, and even some bad things may happen, and they are still fifth-class households.

But the victims didn't know, and the news soon spread on the ship, and one by one they couldn't fly to Taiping Prefecture immediately, get the land, start farming, and have a harvest next year. Then the family lived happily ever after. It's not that they are naïve, it's that the officials have bewitched them like this.

Song Zhen said worriedly: "Brother Zimingxian, once the truth comes out, I am worried that there will be a civil uprising. ”

Jia Changchao is also very worried, Taiping Prefecture and the imperial court are talking about the reason, and the mother-in-law is talking about the mother-in-law, but he can't talk about it.

He looked back at the ragged people and said, "I heard that Zheng Zhizhou is charitable, and I hope he can be kind when he sees the pitiful appearance of these disaster victims." ”

Cai Xiang shook his head, as long as the imperial court does not give support, it is impossible for the Zheng family to be kind, it is more than 30,000 mouths to eat, not 300 dozens of mouths, how much food is eaten in a day. He is very simple-minded now, it's not just that eating is so simple, if the arrangement is not good, Zheng Lang's matter will come.

Not only to feed them, but also to eat well, to live well, and to sleep well, otherwise many people will trouble him.

When the ship entered the port, Cai Xiang looked at the shore with sharp eyes and said, "An official came out to greet him." ”

Song Zhen and Jia Changchao walked out, looked at the shore, looked at each other and shook their heads, and smiled bitterly. There were officials to greet him, only to see two or three officials with three or four servants, listlessly looking at this side, seeing this posture, Jia Changchao gave an order to the soldiers, so that the victims could not get off the boat, and waited for the arrangement.

The ships were moored one after another, and more than 100 ships were opened one by one, attracting hundreds of people to watch. But Cai Xiang saw anger in the eyes of these people, and it was definitely not a welcoming attitude.

Got off the boat hard, Zhao Tongju came up with several officials and saluted each other, Song Zhen asked, "What about Zheng Zhizhou?" ”

"He went to inspect Liuwei."

"Liuwei?"

"It's the six polders that are about to be built in winter, and I have to check it...... Zhao Tongju said about the dark pool of Youmin Wei last year, and said: "We also have to leave the waterway to discharge the flood, the lake to store water, and every foot of the polder is still a hundred-year plan, so I have to be cautious." ”

After talking for a long time, Song Zhen had a headache when he heard it, and asked directly: "How does Zheng Zhizhou deal with the victims?" ”

Don't tell me about Wei, I'm not here for Wei, but to arrange for the victims to go down, and the rest has nothing to do with me.

"Song Zheng, please follow me," Zhao Tong judged that he did not dare to slack off on Song Zhen, Song Zhen was not an external system (he also drafted an edict with knowledge of the system, called the external system), but with a Hanlin bachelor with knowledge of the system, a very powerful official position.

For the other two, he didn't dare to slack off, Jia Changchao was a storyteller in the Chongzheng Palace, that is, he was a teacher for the emperor, and Cai Xiang was the Governor's Academy, but he was only twenty-three years old, and his future would be great.

Led them to the government office and sat down with each other, Zhao Tong ordered the official to bring a large stack of files, opened the general book, handed it to the three of them and said, "Look at it, how tight are the finances of Taiping Prefecture?" The salaries of Zheng Zhizhou and many officials have been delayed for several months, and little by little they have been saving money so that they can build a polder in winter. That's it, there may be a gap of 30,000 or 40,000 yuan. ”

This dossier is made into a table, and it is clear that the three of them are all talented and learned, and they can't speak after reading it.

Cai Xiang hesitated and said: "You still need labor in Taiping Prefecture, once the Liuwei is opened, countless people can be arranged to farm." ”

"Cai Zhizhi, where are there countless families, except for the two Wei, the scale of the six Weis is slightly larger, and the other four Weiwei are not as large as the two Weis last year, but Zheng Zhizhou promised the people, and there are nearly 5,000 households that have not been resettled. When they were settled, there was not much left. Hugh said that 7,000 households could not be arranged. ”

Last year, the exchange of cultivated land for the people's positive surnames has been made public, Cai Xiang did not question, changed the topic, and asked: "Some of the surplus land left by the migration of these thousands of families can also be arranged." ”

I had no choice but to squeeze it little by little, otherwise what would tens of thousands of victims look like when they stay on the boat? It seems that it is possible that Taiping Prefecture will not provide food. Do you want them to starve to death?

"Cai Zhizhi, you are a Taiwanese minister, you should know that the people have different wealth, if the wealth is divided equally, the contradictions will naturally be reduced, is it feasible? Who would dare to do it? With the same labor and the same land, can they have their original property confiscated? Such a big change has almost changed the world in the entire Taiping Prefecture, and everyone's contradictory needs must be considered one by one, and fortunately it did a good job some time ago. Although it is tight, as soon as the six wei come out in winter, all the people in Taiping Prefecture will have a good life. ”

"As soon as Liuwei comes out and the people move, what should be done with the original fields?"

"Let them arrange their own arrangements, or rent or sell."

"Where does the labor come from?"

"Let them also make their own arrangements, invite floating guests from other places to be tenants, and the state government and the counties do not ask. But Cai Zhizhi, if you want these disaster victims to be tenants, it is one of the solutions, about five or six thousand households can be arranged, and the rest of our state will think of a way, and the disaster victims will be dealt with. But this matter is also a precedent, and our state will not participate. ”

Do you dare?

As long as Cai Xiang does it, although you are a Taichen, the Taichen will not let you go first.

"What does Zheng Zhizhou mean?"

"There is no other choice, one is to send the victims back, and he continues to govern Taiping Prefecture. The first is to leave the victims behind, he resigns and dismisses the official, not only Zheng Zhizhou, but we also have to resign and go home, and forcibly stuff tens of thousands of disaster victims in. ”

The three were silent.

Zhao Tongju said again: "The three came from afar, and Zheng Zhizhou arranged a residence for the three and lived in his house. ”

Song Zhen just wanted to refuse, the situation was so bad, what to live in? Jia Changchao suddenly squeezed his eyes at him.

So he said, "It is better to obey than to obey." ”

Zhao Tongju took the three of them to Zheng's mansion, not very far, and they arrived after a while, the porter opened the door, and some people came out of it, looking at them curiously, including Zheng Lang's four students, six little maids, Shi Congguang and his two sisters-in-law, big drama, stay to watch the excitement. Zheng Zhuangyuan singled out hundreds of bigwigs in Beijing, who wins and who loses? Can't be curious? There is also Uncle Lu San, the Wang family brother who is the guard.

Jia Changchao asked strangely: "Didn't you hear that several ladies from Zheng Zhizhou also came to Taiping Prefecture?" ”

You see, it's okay, it's impossible to take a few of your mothers away.

Song Zhen and Cai Xiang suddenly realized that Jia Changchao was fighting this idea. I heard that these mothers are very good-hearted, as long as they take them to see the victims, with Zheng Lang's filial piety, they can only bow their heads for their mothers, and everyone can sit down and discuss.

Third Uncle Lu shook his head on the side and said, "A few ladies have already asked Cui Xiaoniang to take them to Jiuhua Mountain to worship the Buddha." ”

Cai Xiang almost fainted.

Zheng Lang, you are too damaged, you don't leave any backhand.

Song Zhen said angrily: "Zhao Tongju, you immediately send someone to invite Zheng Zhizhou back." ”

"Song Zhihe, I'm afraid it's difficult, there are more than 10,000 hectares of lakes in the three counties, and the vast water waves are endless, how to find someone?"

"If you can't find it, you have to find it, otherwise tens of thousands of disaster victims will have any problems, we will be responsible, and you Taiping Prefecture will not be able to get rid of it."

Wang Anshi, who was standing on the side watching the excitement, suddenly said: "Bachelor Song, it's wrong and wrong, what does Taiping Prefecture have to do with not accepting this group of refugees?" It's just that there is a relationship, it's nothing more than the dismissal of officials, Dr. Zheng has already told us that it's better not to do this. It's a pity that this sentence actually came from the mouth of Master Song. Before leaving, Dr. Zheng repeatedly instructed us that among the three, Master Song was a loyal elder, and he deserved to be the third and first. Talent and virtue should be our teacher. Jia said that the emperor said that the book was also the emperor's storytelling, and the scriptures, music and calligraphy were all the heroes of the people. Cai Zhizhi is less steady, and the future of the country is important. If the three of you stay, let us ask the three of you for advice. But Mr. Song's words disappointed me. ”

Sima Guang said: "Wang Sanlang don't say much, but Master Song, the imperial court does this, which makes people's teeth cold, what you see and hear is just a corner, and Dr. Zheng still has many huge plans and arrangements in the future, far from Bawei." Once successful, it will become a pilot and an incomparable internal affair for our country. Correct...... Now faintly ruined. ”

"What's the plan?"

"Sugar cane, grass and cotton."

"What's this?"

Wang Anshi and Sima Guang laughed, and Lu Gong shook his head.

Cai Xiang looked at Lu Gongzhu and asked, "Lu Sanlang, what's the difference?" ”

Whether it was Wang Anshi or Sima Guang, the three ministers were a little afraid, these two little guys were too rappy. It's better to be Lu Yijian's son, so Cai Xiang asked Lu Gong.

"I don't hear it very clearly, I only know that Dr. Zheng said that if this happens, it may bring millions or even 10 million yuan of tax income to the country a year, and I don't know the rest."

"Is it money, or is it money?"

"Yes."

The three of them were at a loss together, turned their heads and asked Zhao Tongju: "Zhao Tongju, do you know?" ”

"I also know that not only these two things, but also some other plans, some of which are feasible and some are not, Zheng Zhizhou himself did not consider the details, but he told me that once it is completed, it can also increase the tax revenue of tens of thousands of yuan a year for Taiping Prefecture."

Jia Changchao asked, "Why do you say things differently?" ”

Sima Guang said solemnly: "What is a pilot, and how much can a state get?" Therefore, Dr. Zheng has repeatedly said that once the pilot is successful, the states will promote it and there will be significant benefits. In the past, Dr. Zheng said to His Majesty that open source and throttling expenditure are the real open source. What Taiping Prefecture has done is only a small part of all Dr. Zheng's plans for the future, and there are other larger arrangements, which have not been thought through. But only this merit was made, and the court was greedy for it. And because the gentleman is not a party, Zheng Zhizhou has no support in the DPRK, and I am afraid that it will be even more difficult in the future. Master Song, you are a loyal elder, please give a word for the country. ”

Song Zhen couldn't keep silent, even if I said, what plans do you have, what arrangements do you have, what are the sugarcane, grass and cotton.

Besides, you have opened eight wei in a row, and a new city has been transformed, what is this merit? Could it be that you want to make the entire Song Dynasty undergo an earth-shaking transformation?

I didn't have the heart to think about these miscellaneous things, and glanced at Jia Changchao.

Jia Changchao stared at Uncle Lu Sanchao, the three of them understood, first let the luggage come in, and once again ordered the soldiers on the ship to pacify the victims, and began to be in a daze, feeling that sitting on the new gunpowder bag invented by Zheng Jiazi, he was scared, and he didn't know when something would happen. Jia Changchao quietly pulled Uncle Lu aside and asked, "Lu Sanlang, you have been in the Zheng family for so long, do you know what Zheng Zhizhou thinks in his heart?" ”

Uncle Lu San shook his head and said: "Since I started my hair, Zheng Zhizhou has been a little wary of me, and even my family San Langjun is a little dissatisfied with me, I don't know much. But this arrangement of the imperial court disrupted many of Zheng Zhizhou's plans. What he did seems to be big, but he is cautious, and before everything is done, he must make precise arrangements and arrangements, such as encircling two wei, and starting to plan in the capital, after arriving in Taipingzhou, no one knows for several months, and the truth will be revealed after everything is arranged. And the court also overestimated his ability. ”

For example, if you want to make a business of 10,000 taels of silver, you must have at least a certain amount of capital, and those with small ability need tens of thousands of taels of silver, and those with large ability have 5,000 taels of silver. But it is impossible to get ten thousand taels of silver with one tael of silver.

However, Third Uncle Lu did not approve of Zheng Lang's approach, and reacted violently, Mu Xiu Yu Lin, the wind will urge him, since he plans to do these great things, it is impossible not to think that others will be blushing.

"No room for redemption?"

"Yes, the imperial court subsidizes some money, as long as Zheng Zhizhou's needs are met, about the victims can be arranged, which is already a miracle." Third Uncle Lu bit the miracle hard.

It is impossible for more than 30,000 people to want each family to own 50 acres of fertile land, and they cannot be allowed to be tenant farmers, and they are also allowed to have a relatively happy life.

"How much does it cost?"

Third Uncle Lu shook his head.

The three of them glanced at each other, thinking that Zheng Lang would appear, it was unlikely, and even he wouldn't look at the victims, so he had to write a song to the capital, all the bigwigs, be kind, boil it, use a lot of money everywhere, draw some out, everyone is happy, otherwise it will be a big thing.

Write a good note, send it to the capital as quickly as possible, and find Zhao Tongju, you have to give some food, you can't really let these victims starve to death on the boat.

The three talented men stomped their feet while walking, and this errand was too hard.
