Zheng Lang said again: "Go and call Cao Xiumu and Wang Zhaoming." ”

I don't know why the imperial court issued such an absurd edict, but these two people in the middle made a lot of contributions. Angry, I made this evaluation. is somewhat wronged, how can the court not pay attention to it, let them come to see it, read it and write it, so that the court can get the most authentic news. So they wrote it, and the edict they wrote was one of the bases, but they did not have any evil thoughts in their hearts.

When everyone arrived, Zheng Lang sat them down and read the edict one by one, so angry that he didn't want to speak. Wang Zhaoming said cautiously: "Is there anything wrong with the edict? ”

"What's wrong?"

Cao Xiumu also asked carefully: "Zheng Zhizhou, do you mean 7,000 households?" ”

After staying in Taiping Prefecture for a while, other places will not make it difficult for the champions, or only these 7,000 homeless people.

"What do you say?"

"Xinwei Yicheng will arrange for 5,000 households to relocate, and some workshops will continue to collect craftsmen in the future, and other places will also need labor......

"Cao Yuanwai, let me ask you, how many bowls of rice can you eat in one meal?"

"A bowl and a half," Cao Xiumu replied honestly.

"Why don't you eat a hundred bowls at a time, then you don't have to eat for dozens of days."

The officials didn't know that something big was going to happen in a while, so they all lowered their heads and laughed.

"If you can eat, you have to use methods, there is a shortage of labor in the state, I have been doing nothing, let the big families find their own ways to solve it, how they solve it, it has nothing to do with me, and it has nothing to do with the officials of Taiping Prefecture, as long as you don't abuse the tenant farmers, don't mutilate them, don't restrict their freedom, the court's ministers will not have much trouble. But these victims were transferred by the imperial court, can I make them tenant farmers? Moreover, they may all be 8th and 9th class refugees. ”

Basically, the people are divided into five equal parts, and the first-class households have at least four or five hundred acres of fertile land, plus mansions, all of which are well-known main households and merchants. The second and third divisions are the medium-sized and small wealthy households, and the fourth-class people are middle peasants, who have 30 to 50 acres of land, some houses, even tiled houses, and cattle, or have a decent business in the city. The fifth-class households are the poor, and they are divided into five to nine classes.

Ordinary officials do not elaborate on the sixth and seventh grades.

There is not much difference in the middle, for example, Jinrust Yuan recruited a weaver girl, and gave a salary of fifty yuan a day, and the family could live with food and clothing.

There is still a difference, the real fifth-class households are half-cultivated and half-rented, and they have a few acres or more than a dozen acres of land, which is not enough for food and clothing, and they rent land from others. By analogy, there were also a small number of fifth-class households resettled in Jingmin Liangwei last year, as well as sixth-class, seventh-class, and eighth-class households, and none of the real ninth-class households.

That's the foundation.

To the ninth-class household is equivalent to having nothing but one person, and the real stripes come and go. Most of the victims are just these people.

It's not like what later generations say, sending a Qing official to release grain, the victims cheered, and the good officials came, if this is the case, why bother to the people who were affected by the disaster in Jianghuai and Shandong the year before this year, why are there still a small number of people who have not been resettled?

Give them food, that's the first step, it's a small step.

How much food can you really eat?

One million disaster victims, eat for a year, four million stone of grain is enough!

The real headache is the back, what should I do if I wear it? What should I do with the utensils used? What should I do if I live? If you can't support them for a lifetime, what will they do?

If it is as simple as releasing grain, all the ministers of the DPRK and China will rush to Chenzhou with Bao Qingtian to release grain! Who doesn't want to be famous?

Or as Cao Xiumu said, who would dare to plug it into various landlords as tenant farmers! These are the people, not the tribes, for you to go to the disaster relief, not for you to push them into the fire pit! If you really do it, you will let Yanchen's saliva drown you, and then do artificial respiration, save it and drown again, if you don't die ten times or eight times, Yanchen will not be resigned.

Therefore, seeing the victims, the ministers in the court did not act, and most of the normal practices were not enough for you to eat and set up a porridge shack, and you will fend for yourself after eating, and you will not take the initiative to intervene. Zhao Zhen can't do it either, you are the emperor who said it briskly, but it is us to do things, do you know how difficult it is for us?

Zhao Zhen didn't ask, the ministers were very happy, it was the difficulty of us being courtiers, including many bigwigs, the sun...... Everyone, Shisuke...... Ouyang Xiu...... Taiping Prefecture has limited income, the summer tax has not been paid, and the autumn tax will not be paid, but it is a small and medium-sized state, not a large state like Hangzhou and Zhou, and it can get nearly 400,000 yuan a year only in the money tax, as well as silk tax and grain tax, these large state capitals are the main source of income in the Song Dynasty, like Taiping Prefecture, all kinds of taxes together, and it will not exceed 100,000 yuan in normal years.

I have done three times to copy the professional household, from Linjiang Temple to Zhang's family and then to Cao's family, in addition to rewarding, the rest is only 60,000 yuan. Spring land deed money, commercial tax money, it is possible that there will be a batch after the autumn, plus the Jin Rust Garden began to make a profit, one after another close to 100,000 yuan, plus the tax of the two wei expansion, will not exceed ** Wan Hu grain, it is really a lot. If it had been such a large income in previous years, it would have been possible for the officials to lie on the money and food and laugh and roll.

Without this accident, it is enough, it can mobilize 40,000 laborers, it takes 90 days to complete the encirclement project, it is a hired worker, food must be provided, the people who come to work are very hard, usually there is very little oil and meat, once it is released to eat, it is gravity work, two stones of grain per person may not be enough, ** 10,000 stone of grain removed.

For such a long time, I have to pay at least six yuan in salary, and more than 200,000 yuan in remitting.

For material costs and expenses that I can't think of, I have to prepare at least 20,000 yuan of money, and the salaries of officials and some rewards will cost nearly 30,000 yuan, and other expenses will cost 30,000 yuan.

It is certainly not enough, but the commercial tax will come up next spring, and the tax will soon come up in early summer and summer, and the salaries of officials can be suspended, or paid less, and will be paid together next year. After selection, the remaining people are not like the people who moved this year, they are all red people, they do not need government relief and financial support, and many of them even have their own cattle. One province at a time, the capital to maintain the construction of Liuwei can also be gathered.

Although it is a little tighter, it will become very beautiful after the autumn of next year, and if it goes well, it will be able to pay tribute to the imperial court the year after tomorrow.

I didn't expect 7,000 more homeless people.

You don't have to think about it to know that all of them are real red people, and they have nothing, otherwise who would want to leave their hometown and go thousands of miles away?

At least half a year, or even half a year of food, winter is coming, there must be clothing, housing, living utensils, farming tools, farming cattle, each person to pack it, at least a dozen dollars. 7,000 households, I don't know how many people are in each household, the number of statistics on the household department is very strange, a certain area does not levy Ding service, a household can have five or six people, six or seven people, a Ding service, a household only one and a half people. It seems that the actual population of a poor family in Liangwei will be five and a half, and if you add the flooding and unfortunate family, it may only be five. There are quite a few, at least 350,000 people.

With more than 400,000 yuan, Zheng Lang and a cadre of officials in Taiping Prefecture were killed, and they couldn't squeeze out so much money.

It's just squeezed out, is the matter over?

So many people have to be resettled, give them a way out, such as farming, each household in Taiping Prefecture has more than 60 acres of land, and then the distribution will be more than the fourth-class households, nearly 70 acres, and these families will be given at least 50 acres. Otherwise, Yanchen will be wordy again, saying that he intends to "exclude foreigners", and there will be disputes in the future.

A household of 50 acres, 350,000 acres of land, how can Zheng Lang conjure up?

After talking about the stakes, he said: "Wang Neifu, Cao Yuanwai, do you know why the imperial court has not arranged the reason for the displaced people now?" ”

Wang Cao and the others couldn't speak.

"Are we a state, or a small and medium-sized state, and want us to arrange disaster victims in a country, joke!"

Zheng Lang sneered.

It is a bit biased to say, it is not a disaster in one country, there has been a drought and a flood in the past two years, many people have suffered miserably, and the affected people are as many as hundreds of thousands of households, so let the imperial court arrange them one by one. But it is also necessary to pay attention to the seriousness, some of them are like this group of people who are about to come to the disaster, they are extremely poor, which is the most headache, and some of them still have some savings at home, and if they are given a little relief, they will recover quickly. There will be no more than 100,000 families living in this kind of extreme poverty, but they are also the victims of the disaster that make the imperial court feel the most difficult.

A small and medium-sized state can arrange 7,000 households, and the imperial court will not have a headache, but five or six state capitals will be plugged in, and these tens of thousands of desperate poor households will be missing, and the remaining disaster victims, will the imperial court still have a headache? Don't talk about money, can't talk about it, how much money has the imperial court allocated for disaster relief in the past two years? Eight million, or ten million? Only the emperor paid out of his own pocket, and he took out millions of dollars or silk, not to mention the imperial court.

No matter how biased Zheng Lang is, it is indeed too difficult to settle 7,000 households in a small and medium-sized state, or a small and medium-sized state that is short of money everywhere.

Zheng Lang said again: "Because of the political achievements, countless pairs of eyes are staring at Taiping Prefecture, as long as the arrangement is not good, the officials of our three counties in one state are waiting for many ministers to write to impeach!" ”

"They ......" Zhao Tong was also dumbfounded after Zheng Lang's analysis.

"The political achievements are too great, and the officials of our three counties in one state eat alone, and some people must be unhappy!"

Zheng Lang was unhappy and said very extremely.

There is an element of conspiracy in it, and it is very small.

There are people with red eyes, and the surname Suo has a problem for Taiping Prefecture. Didn't you send a doorman to blame Shi Jie, saying that we don't care about the disaster and the death of people, let you take care of it!

But not everyone, a few bigwigs have bigwig ideas, Zheng Lang is doing good deeds, for the country, for the people are doing very well, but the rules are broken. On the other hand, if the rules are broken, the intentions are good. There is a positive side and a negative side.

Taiping Prefecture miraculously thousands of hectares of fertile polders continue to appear, and it itself lacks people. 30,000 households, at least three or four thousand non-agricultural households, two or three thousand fishermen who specialize in fishing for a living, can they be planted? The new city wants people again, and the population gap is very large, and there are not many 7,000 households. Since this miracle can be created, it should not be difficult to arrange thousands of households.

Six or seven thousand families of people wandering around will be arranged, and there are still some displaced people, and the imperial court will squeeze it, and the victims of the two years will all settle down this winter.

It's too late, and I started to continue to repair the book!

Zheng Lang can handle it well, the labor force is there, and the population is there. The country has one less problem, and if it is not handled well, it will try to find a way.

But I don't know what Zheng Lang will think, I don't read the book, I can't understand it, and I don't even understand what Zheng Lang does, until I make it, I don't know that it is like this, for example, last year, together in doubt, where did I get the labor circle under Daxu, and the book was played, it was like this!

Then make appropriate adjustments according to Zheng Lang's reaction.

"What now?" Zhao Tongju frowned.

"If we don't accept it, it's not what we can bear, why accept it, if the court doesn't agree, then even if we don't want manpower support from other states, take our time in one state, if someone in the court is jealous, or don't let go, or continue to release the victims to Taiping Prefecture, I will immediately resign and don't do it."

As he spoke, he picked up a pen and wrote a book.

Write about the cause and effect, don't be a fool, set up a pit and I'll jump into it myself. If you are not convinced, your eyes will be red, I will resign and go home, and I will not be able to be this official. Obviously, he is doing things for the country, with the power of one state, expanding thousands of hectares of polders and building a new city and new port, and after a few years, this state alone will be able to increase the country's income by more than 100,000 yuan a year, increase the output of more than 1 million hus, and lift tens of thousands of households out of poverty. Unexpectedly, there are layers of constraints.

This constraint does not come from the locality, but from the court itself. With the power of the imperial court to calculate a small Zhizhou, who can do a good job in affairs?

Let's go home and farm.

Either let the victims return from where and send them back, or I resign and go home, guys, two multiple-choice questions, either A or B. After writing, let Yang Jiujin ride Xiaoqing to the capital.

Cao Xiumu and Wang Zhaoming sat there like wooden chickens, and only said for a long time: "It's not proper, Zheng Zhizhou." ”

The victims have been sent to Taiping Prefecture on the ship, and it is impossible to send them back.

But it would be even worse to let Zheng Lang resign and go home.

The imperial court did not send out officials, and many officials were sitting at home waiting for Yin to fill their posts. But in today's Taiping Prefecture, who dares to take responsibility? Don't say responsible, you can't figure it out. If one is not good, something really big will happen.

"Why not? There are many people who wish I could do it. Zheng Lang said.

After that, go home.

A cadre of officials stared at each other with big eyes and asked Zhao Tongju, but Zhao Tongju had no choice but to chase Zheng's house, knocked on the door, sat down and said: "Zheng Zhizhou, you can't be angry for a while, you resign and go home, what should tens of thousands of people in Taiping Prefecture do?" ”

"What resignation?" Jiang Xing'er asked puzzled. The Zheng family still didn't know what was happening in the state office.

"Zhao Tongju, it's not that I want to resign, but whether Zhongshu dares to let me resign?"

"Yes, Zheng Zhizhou......"

"Zhao Tongju, we are united with the power of the state, not to mention the repair of several Dawei, a Jingmin Wei can make us remember in the annals of history."

"Yes," Zhao Tongjuan's worried face showed a slight hint of excitement. How can such a Daxu not be famous through the ages?

"One Jingmin Wei is like this, and there are several large Wei, plus a good port rice market, and you know, I have some initiatives next year, once these measures are successful, what kind of merit will it be? But there is no fault in moving, and there is a mistake in moving. I've been very careful, but I really want to pick thorns, isn't it easy, can't I pick thorns, can I create a crisis? Seven thousand displaced families can be taken in, not for no reason, settled well, after a few years they create wealth, will the state get taxes? But what is it to send tens of thousands of people who have nothing to come over like this? ”

"I still don't understand."

"It's also a business, the court has opened a sky-high price, and we have to bargain, and we have to pay back the money on the ground."

Zhao Tongju couldn't help laughing, and faintly realized.

"The affairs of the past few days have been handed over to you for the time being, don't relax. I rested for a few days first, it really burned me out. ”

Zhao Tongju was also tired, but not as serious as Zheng Lang.

Not only that, but because of financial constraints, many officials, including Zheng Lang, two of the three magistrates whose families were in slightly better condition, Zhao Tongju, and some other officials, did not pay their salaries for several months. There was a problem in the imperial court, and they all felt very aggrieved.

Even Zhao Tong's sentence has almost been as if he has been killed in the past year, and he has never been so serious about being a good official. Don't try to commend us, at least don't make it difficult for us.

"Don't tell the truth to anyone, and don't tell you either."

"Whoa." Jiang Xing'er replied, still not knowing what was going on.

I can't say that I'm afraid of Uncle Lu.

is about to rip off, what is the imperial court, not Zhao Zhen's court, but the court of these scholars, Lu Yijian is the first to bear the brunt. Afraid that a few mothers would be worried, let Cui Xianhuan'er accompany them to Jiuhua Mountain.

A few ladies didn't know what to do, they smiled, and the eldest lady said, "I wanted to go to Jiuhua Mountain for a long time." ”

"Auntie, go to Jiuhua Mountain this year, if you have the opportunity next time, the child will let Xian'er accompany you to Putuo Mountain."

"That's good, that's good." A few mothers left with a smile.

Not long after leaving, the news spread, and the people of the whole state were shocked.

You can't blame Zhizhou, he is the number one governor in Taiping Prefecture, but for the court, it is nothing.

But what's going on, Zhizhou did the right thing, and the people said that they would all get better immediately, and as soon as a few Dawei were opened, the country could also get a lot of taxes. If it is opened at the same time, it is only two taxes a year, and it is possible to get 200,000 grains, why harm Zhizhou.

This group is very huge, including 999 out of 1,000 people in Taiping Prefecture, officials count on political achievements, large households count on the continuation of policies, the new city can rise, in order to have profits, and the two wei harvest, let them see clearer signs, not to mention the poor people. There was a commotion from top to bottom throughout the state, and thousands of people went to the government every day to inquire about the situation.

Cao Xiumu and Wang Zhaoming saw that it was not good, and hurriedly wrote a letter, no matter what method was used, it had to be transmitted to the emperor as quickly as possible, I was not a person from Lu Yijian, nor was I a minister of the so-called anti-Lu faction, but a courtier and eunuch loyal to the emperor. You can't let this group of ministers in the court mess around, you have to let the emperor know about it.

A wonderful drama is staged.
