(The second update, ask for a red ticket)

Xiao Baiming saw the shallow smile floating at the corner of Lin Bin's mouth, he felt a chill down his back, and he was afraid, and when he saw Lin Bin's casual fingers gently tapping on the scabbard of the saber, he also felt that Lin Bind was just trying to drive them to Chongzhou, and then give Chongzhou to him.

"Li Gong is a little understated," Chen Lei grabbed a rebuttal to Li Shutang, only then did he remember to raise his hand and ask to speak, Lin Jian couldn't blame him for breaking the rules, the play was going to continue, so he motioned for him to continue, anyway, others would not object to anything, Chen Lei stood up and said, "I also know that the monastery has the difference between the temple and the field, but to say that the owner of the field sent the field to the name of the temple in order to sincerely worship the Buddha, it is a bit far-fetched - according to what I said, the field is actually a field for escaping grain." These Jitian should have paid grain for the Jiangdong Left Army to defend against the thieves, but in fact they evaded the grain payment, so that Chongzhou had no salary to raise soldiers and no funds to repair the city. Chongcheng was destroyed and its citizens were slaughtered, didn't it have anything to do with it? I thought it would be okay to condemn Yoshida as a stolen stolen! ”

Li Shutang raised his hand and asked to speak, Lin Shu shook his head and vetoed it, and said: "Those standing in the back row only have one chance to speak, this is a rule set early in the morning, it's time for someone else to speak...... Li Shutang stood back in the back row.

"What Chen Shuban said is true, but there should also be a difference in the determination and responsibility for crimes," Li Shuyi raised his hand and asked to go to the hall to speak, and after getting Lin Bin's approval, he talked eloquently, "As my brother said, the offenders are divided into rods, punishments, prisons, streams, and beheadings...... That's all I have to say, and all things have to be weighed by your great powers. ”

Li Shutang, Li Shuyi, and Chen Lei set the tone, and the old representatives of Jiaxiang in Zhuxiang dared to speak, and you used all the opportunities to speak, and in the end gradually formed a unanimous opinion: Terata copied and confiscated the officials, chased the monks to return to the vulgar, paid taxes and grain, checked the fields, and levied five years of grain, in addition to the needs of building the city, the surplus part of the salary was given to the Jiangdong Left Army to resist the East China Sea Kou......

The Jiangdong Left Army was a township camp and raised salaries from the local government, and Chongzhou was the source of the Jiangdong Left Army's salaries, and the taxes levied by the county government, in addition to paying the county government's expenses and local affairs expenses, were used as food and wages to supply the Jiangdong Left Army. Not only was the fine and the additional grain supply to the Jiangdong Left Army, but the tax revenue added to the county by the confiscation of Terada, which was confiscated as an official, and the Jitian that was cleared out, naturally went to the Jiangdong Left Army for the vast majority of the future revenues -- it was also in line with the rules to form such a public discussion.

It's just that at this time, no one knows how big the scale of the penalty for supplementing the grain and confiscating the Terada and the inventory of the Yoshida will be, otherwise, no matter whether it is in accordance with the rules or not, someone will jump out; After all, the form of public discussion was not in accordance with the rules in the Da Yue Dynasty.

Towards the end of the meeting, large candles had been lit in the hall, and many people were so hungry that they were light-headed, and the old deputies of Lijia Township who were standing to discuss the meeting, and the older ones were a little dizzy.

In their opinion, to have such a result, Lin Tie did not hesitate to turn his face with Han Zai in front of the court to win them over, how can he be closer to the Jiangdong Left Army in the future, so as to avoid others interfering in Chongzhou County to compete for their interests.

Lin Jian asked Han Zai: "Lord Han, what do you think of the result of such a public discussion?" ”

Han Zai was full of bitterness, but he had to nod and say: "Since the public discussion is like this, this official has no objection!" It was useless for him to object, and the Terada of the original was held in Lin Bin's hands.

"In this case, please ask Lord Wu to draft a submission, and the three of us will sign it together in front of everyone! Terada, who was involved in the gangsterry case, will also be dealt with in accordance with today's public discussion. Lin Jian said that he didn't give Han Jae a chance to regret at all, and forced Han Zai to sign immediately.

"Then it's troublesome Lord Wu......" Han Zai could only comfort himself: at least the matter of building the city has been resolved, at least Jiangning's side can fool the past, and he will not be held accountable for his delay in opening the situation in Chongzhou.

Wu Meijiu couldn't wait to settle everything in a friendly manner, and immediately brought pen and paper to write a submission, and the three parties took out the seal letter and drew a seal on the spot, and also asked Shushi to copy several copies, in addition to the Governor's Palace, the Xuanfu Envoy Division, and the Inspectorate Envoy Division, an additional copy was also sent to the Ministry of War!

Lin Jian did not intend to hand over the field book of Guangjiao Temple immediately, and it was inferred that the field book in the hands of the Jiangdong Left Army was also very messy, and it was the key physical evidence for a thorough investigation of the bandit case, so it could not be handed over hastily.

On the issue of the penalty and subsidy of the land, Lin Jian also used the excuse to first screen whether the landlord of the field was suspected of being a bandit, so naturally the Jiangdong Left Army could only negotiate with the landlord involved in the case on behalf of the county first, and the penalty and the apportionment of the grain and the apportionment over the years.

As for the specific matters such as the land and food money needed to build the city, Lin Jian only promised to find another time to convene the county officials to discuss, or to leave Han Jae out of the specific affairs and inform him when there was a specific plan.

Han Zai didn't have the heart to argue with Lin Jian anymore at this time, and left with Xiao Baiming in a gloomy manner.

Han Jae didn't understand at first that it was his lack of experience; If you don't understand it at this time, you are really stupid. After such a scene, it seems that the problem of building the city has been solved, and Han Zai also understands that he fell into the trap of Lin Binding, and offended everyone inside and outside Chongzhou County.

Xiao Baiming also did not dispute the matter of the Jiangdong Left Army building a camp on the other side of the military cottage, Han Zai was not enough to contain Lin Jiao, and the Jiangdong Left Army had almost completely controlled the situation in Chongzhou County.

Not to mention that the strength of the Jiangdong Left Army far exceeded them, and almost all the officials and forces in Chongzhou County, large and small, as well as the local townships, were on the side of the Jiangdong Left Army - in this case, it was somewhat unwise to grit their teeth and fight with Lin Bin.

*********

"I didn't expect the public meeting to drag on for so long, I'm already hungry, and I can't be much better if I want to come to the villagers," After Han Zai and Xiao Baiming left, Lin Jian sat in front of the hall and said to everyone in the hall, "There is nothing to prepare in the county government, my Jiangdong Left Army has a simple canteen in Dongshanmen, so I am wronged that everyone will go there with me for a meal and then go back!" ”

"Thank you for your kindness," everyone bowed together to thank .......

"It's Lin Tie who wants to thank everyone here," Lin Tie stood up with the bookcase and said, "Building a city to defend against the Kou and raising troops is related to the livelihood of the people in Chongzhou and your vital interests...... The Jiangdong Left Army should also live up to your trust, if Donghai Kou dares to come to one, Lin will kill him, dare to come a pair, and Lin will kill him. ”

Lin Jian asked everyone to walk with him to Dongshan Gate for dinner, Wu Meijiu also joined in the fun, Han Zai was not there, and he didn't mind getting acquainted with Lin Bin.

The dinner was quite simple, a table for eight people, a bowl of meat, a bowl of fish, a bowl of tofu, and a bowl of vegetables.

Although the case of gangsters has not yet been concluded, it has also removed the biggest stone that weighs on everyone's hearts. Compared with all the officials who have not received income, the five-year penalty and apportionment of the grain and the apportionment are naturally the result that everyone is happy to accept.

********

Most of the officials lived in the Shanmen Zen Temple, and all the villagers had to rush back at night, so the dinner did not delay for long, and it ended quickly.

Lin Jian left Li Shutang, Li Shuyi, Hu Zhicheng, Chen Lei and others behind and summoned them to the meeting hall where he usually acted for official business.

Li Shutang noticed that a map of Chongzhou was spread out on Lin Bin's bookcase, and on the map, nineteen monasteries involved in the bandits were marked, and the Xishan River in the west of Chongzhou and the Yunyan River in the north were painted red.

In addition to the Yangtze River, the Xishan River and the Yunyan River can be said to be the two most important rivers in Chongzhou.

The Xishan River and the Yangtze River meet each other, which is a naturally formed river, and the mouth of the river is seven or eight miles west of Zilang Mountain.

The Salt River is an artificial canal dug thousands of years ago, and the original purpose of digging this river was to facilitate the transportation of salt from the ancient Huai Salt Field to the inland, so it was named the Salt River or Salt River.

The total length of the Yunyan River is more than 300 li, which runs through Hailing Mansion and leads directly to Weiyang Mansion, and extends eastward from the Hecheng Grassland to which the Weiyang Salt and Iron Division belongs, and flows into the Yellow Water Ocean (Yellow Sea).

After the founding of the Great Yue Dynasty, the Salt and Iron Division was set up in Weiyang (Yangzhou) to control the two Huai Salt Administration, and the annual salt tax was nearly two million taels of silver, which was the two most important sources of revenue with the newly established Changlu Salt and Iron Division in Jinhai.

The Weiyang Salt and Iron Division is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Households, and is not subordinate to each other, with hundreds of thousands of salt households and salt dings, and thousands of miles of grasslands and salt farms.

Due to the importance of the Salt and Iron Division to the central finance, the Salt and Iron River transported through Hailing Mansion and Weiyang Mansion was separated from the local government and was under the direct jurisdiction of the Salt and Iron Division.

A thousand years ago, the Yunyan River was not so long, and it almost extended to the territory of today's Xinghua County. Before the millennium, the tidal flats in the eastern part of Xinghua County were an important part of the ancient Huai salt field.

Chongzhou and Gaocheng County in the north have only accumulated sand into land in the past thousand years, and the history of Chongzhou and Gaocheng County is not long, and Chongzhou County has a history of more than 80 years.

Due to the dilution of a large amount of river water, the salinity of the sea in Chongzhou, near the mouth of the river, is much lighter, which is not conducive to boiling salt. For almost two hundred years, the coastal area east of Chongzhou was no longer used as a salt farm, but was specially set aside as a pasture, and grass was planted to provide fuel for the salt field to cook sea frying salt.

Just counting the Hecheng grassland in the east of Chongzhou, it is almost 1.5 million mu to 2 million mu wide.

Since the salt river no longer plays the role of transporting salt in Chongzhou, the salt and iron division will re-hand over this section of the river to the local government jurisdiction, and the salt river dug a new Beiguan River in Xinghua County to the northeast, leading to the center of today's Huainan salt field, and the section of the salt river west of the Beiguan River and Xinghua County is the focus of the salt and iron division's control.

Also because the status of the Chongzhou County section of the Yunyan River is no longer important, it has not been dredged much in the past two hundred years, the river is seriously silted, and there will be heavy rain in the summer and autumn flood season every year, and seven or eight out of ten will form an overflow embankment.

"Let's take a look at this map first!" Lin Jian asked Li Shutang, Li Shuyi, Hu Zhicheng, Chen Lei and others to come to the front to see the map spread out on his case, and asked the guards to call Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde, Fu Qinghe, Sun Jingtang, Wu Qi and others as long as they were at home.

When I looked at the map closely, I found that the 19 monasteries, and the five monasteries near the Yunyan River and the Xishan River, had been specially marked.

The Xishan River and the Yunyan River are not connected, but in the northwest corner of Chongzhou County, the closest point between the two rivers is less than three miles apart.

There is a monastery called Jiuhua Temple right next to this short line.

"After reading this map, I think you can guess some of my next plans," Lin Jian didn't wait for Cao Ziang and them to come over, and first introduced the situation to Li Shutang and Li Shuyi, "I have seen it on the spot, digging a river here to run through the Yunyan River and the Xishan River, it doesn't take much effort, but there are many benefits." First, it can effectively alleviate the waterlogging disaster from Beiguan River to Jiuhua, so that the middle and lower fields can become ripe and fertile fields. Second, the Xishan River is in good condition, and the salt river channel from Jiuhua to the west is in good condition, and after the breakthrough, it can actually become the main navigation channel connecting Chongzhou with Hailing Mansion and Weiyang Mansion, and there is no need to detour from Baisha County to the bulk goods going north ...... Neihe."

It seems simple to connect the Xishan River with the Yunyan River, but counting the land acquisition, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to go in, if it is not for Chongzhou as their own territory, who is willing to make such a big investment?

Li Shutang glanced at Lin Jian and said, "What do you need us to do?" ”

At this time, Cao Ziang, Lin Mengde and others stepped in, and Lin Jian beckoned them to the front and said, "I will tell you about the situation in the area of Jiuhua Temple with Shutang, Shuyi, and Zhicheng, and the next thing is to be introduced by Uncle Mengde......

"Okay," Lin Mengde also heard Li Shutang's question when he came in, and answered his question directly, saying, "The conclusion of the public discussion, we already know, what we have to do is closely related to the conclusion of the public discussion......

Li Shutang thought decisively, everything was under Lin Bin's control.

Lin Mengde continued: "Terada was returned to the official domain, but this 'official possession' was not transferred to the county for management, we hope to directly transfer it to the military tun land controlled by the Jiangdong Left Army, and we can directly fight for this with the county department." The penalty for sending the field can be converted into silver, but we hope that each family can use the field to offset the penalty and collect a part of the field. We hope that these fields will be concentrated in the vicinity of Jiuhua, Xishan Hekou, Hecheng West and Zilang Mountain through replacement...... These tasks have to be done by you, after all, you have to communicate well with each family to get these things done. ”
