"One acre of land!"

"Here."

"Have you counted the exact number of victims in this county?"

"Lord Hui County, I just counted that there are a total of 11,412 households and 56,123 people in need of relief."

"One acre of land!"

"Here."

"How is the progress of the county's work to protect the armor and organize households?"

"Lord Hui County, one hundred and twenty-one guarantees have been compiled, 6,000 and 50 households, and 7,211 households are still being compiled, and it is expected that all of them will be compiled within four days."

"One acre of land!"

"Here."

"How is the county's field register progressing?"

"Back to the county, the military land has all been re-registered, and as of noon today, the civil land has been registered 7,823 acres and four acres. The rest are stepping up the measurement, and it is expected that all the measurements will be completed within six days. ”

"One acre of land!"

"Here."

“”

Don't look at Tian Yimu, this guy is eyebrows, his work ability is definitely the top melon, Qin Mu handed over most of the civil affairs to him to take care of, although this guy is so busy that he has no salary, but the things handed over to him are all taken care of in an orderly manner;

So much so that Qin Mu felt that his triangular eyes and mouse beard were also quite pleasing to the eye, and after a few days, he had gradually developed a habit: if there is a problem, find an acre of land.

No matter what you ask, Tian Yimu can always answer with single-digit accurate data, because it is professional, so it is reassuring.

If this continues, twenty-two taels of silver are likely to fall into his pocket in three months' time.

Of course, this is only possible, because Tian Yimu has many strong competitors, and he is not much worse than him by the hard work.

For example, Wu Wangcai, Qin Mu gave him tasks such as capturing thieves, rectifying the market, and cracking down on profiteers who raised prices, and he also did a good job;

In the past few days, he arrested 60 people, all of them are scoundrels who steal chickens and dogs, kick the widow's door, and there is no dry food for these people to eat in vain in the county jail, Wu Wangcai asked Qin Mu to send all these people to the countryside to help the people plough the fields, and the security in the county is extremely clear for a while, and it can really be said that the road is not left behind, and the house is not closed at night.

For those profiteers who raised prices, Wu Wangcai first blocked the door of the shop, and then recited the Da Ming Law to others, talking endlessly, and it is said that many people have fainted directly by him.

His methods are varied, countless, and with his efforts, although the goods in Huichang County are scarce, the prices are relatively stable, which is a great achievement. With this, he is qualified enough to compete with Tian Yimu for the twenty taels of bonuses.

*****

After the affairs of the Yaneili were on the right track, Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, and after thinking about it for a while, he hurriedly picked up his pen and wrote down a number of letters;

And asked Liu Meng to find some clever subordinates, and personally instructed: "You each bring a letter, set off immediately, in any case, you must hand over the letter to the recipient before the end of the year, if the other party asks you, you only need to answer, 'read the letter and know', and nothing else can be said." ”

The guards each took a letter, only to see that the name of the first recipient was "Li Yan", the second was "Li Dingguo", the third was "Liu Zongzhou", the fourth was "Gu Jiang", and the fifth was "Zheng Sen"

Every time he handed over a letter, Qin Mu would carefully advise the guards who sent the letter on the matters that they needed to pay attention to. Seeing that Qin Mu was so solemn, several guards did not dare to slack off, and responded awe-inspiringly.

After doing this, Qin Mu did not stop for a moment, today is the auspicious day of the zodiac, he has already made people prepare three animals, and when the auspicious time comes, he will go to the Sheji altar in Huichang with great fanfare.

According to him, it is to make up for this year's spring prayer sacrifice, praying that God will bless the prosperity of the wind and rain, the prosperity of the six animals, and the abundant harvest of the five grains.

This is to give hope to the refugees who are in dire straits, so that the people can strengthen their confidence and perseverance to survive the famine.

This year, the "Spring Prayer and Autumn Report" is not only a major event for the emperor and officials, but also the top priority of the people in a year, and there is no sloppiness at all.

This concept has lasted for thousands of years, and all the people believe in this, if there is a famine in any year, the first thought of the people must be who has offended the heavens, so the heavens send a famine to show punishment, and even the emperor must avoid the palace and reduce food, and give an edict to admonish the officials for their own mistakes.

Since the war in Huichang, there has been no spring prayer and autumn report for three years, Qin Mu, as the magistrate of the county, in this extraordinary period of fanfare of supplementary sacrifice, the significance is extraordinary.

This move not only strengthened the confidence of the people to survive the famine, but also announced that Huichang had returned to normal governance, and that was that Qin Mu wanted to declare his sacrificial rights.

After the people in the city heard that the magistrate was going to make up for the spring prayer festival, they rushed out of their homes and followed them all the way to the Sheji altar.

It is roughly estimated that there were at least 30,000 people present, clustered around the shrine, a large area of black pressure, the scorching sun in the sky, people sweating like rain, but no one left without permission.

In fact, the altar is an altar made of stone, which is slightly rectangular, with two walls inside and outside, and the middle is filled with soil. The size is different, like the Sheji Altar in the capital, covering an area of more than 160,000 square meters.

In a small county like Huichang, the area of Shejitan is only about 200 square meters.

According to the provisions of Zhouli's "Examination of Work" "Left Ancestor Right Society", the Taimiao is placed on the left side of the palace, and the Sheji altar is placed on the right (west) of the palace. Both the ancestral and the society are symbols of the feudal regime.

The sheji altar of each state and county is generally located on the right side of the yamen, and the sheji is the combined name of "Taishe" and "Taiji", the society is the god of the land, and the grass is the god of five grains, both of which are the most important foundations of the agricultural society, so the sacrifice of the two gods is also the top priority of the whole country.

In the spring and autumn of each year, from the emperor to the hundred officials, down to the small people of Dousheng, they must participate in the sacrifice according to the system, so the word "Sheji" is used to refer to the country.

Qin Muguan was neatly worn, and under the attention of everyone, he washed his hands and burned incense, sacrificed animals, and every action was meticulous, solemn and solemn. He bowed down, and the people of the city also bowed down, and none of them dared to regard it as child's play.

Halfway through the sacrifice, a sudden gust of wind blew, blowing the gold and silver paper and platinum all over the sky, and Qin Mu's face in front of the altar was covered with platinum paper, and his eyes were also fascinated by dust.

The solemn sacrifice is not over yet, and it is not good for him to rub his eyes in front of tens of thousands of people, because this is very likely to be regarded as disrespectful to the gods.

He couldn't help but secretly scream in his heart, it would be good if all the altars were made of stones, but the center was filled with loose soil, and when the wind blew, it was dusty.

If it's just such a gale, blink more, and patience will pass, but this summer, most of the rain comes from the wind, and the wind comes from the rain, especially in mountainous areas like Huichang, where heavy rain comes.

In less than ten minutes, the sky was already covered with dark clouds, and several lightning thunderbolts thundered down, deafeningly deafening, and the rain poured down immediately.

Everyone was still sweating just now, and immediately turned into a body of water, including Qin Mu, tens of thousands of people instantly became soup chickens.

The rain became heavier and heavier, lightning and thunder rolled in, and in the deafening thunderclap, the heavens and the earth were cut apart by electric light, like a group of dragons flying, and Qin Mu, who was poured through, was about to end the sacrifice as soon as possible, but suddenly had an idea.

In the pouring rain, under the lightning and thunder, he suddenly stretched out his sleeves, raised his head to the sky, and danced like a madman.

His mouth shouted excitedly: "God is talking, God is talking to us, do you hear me?" People of Huichang, do you hear? ”

Tens of thousands of pairs of eyes looked at this crazy magistrate in astonishment, all of them in amazement.

People are talking to each other and pointing fingers, and this kind of strange thing has never been seen even by an old man who has lived to be 100 years old.

The magistrate who came to worship the altar of the shrine suddenly went crazy.

Yes, Qin Mu's appearance now looks like a madman, kneeling in the muddy water for a while, and shouting at the sky for a while: "Don't you hear God talking to us?" Get on your knees, everybody! ”

"God said, in our sacrifice and piety, we will definitely ensure that our Huichang this year is smooth, as long as we work together and unite as one, we can successfully survive the famine of the eyes."

"God said that he would watch our every move, saying that the people of Huichang are too miserable and can't even eat salt, so he will give me a salt pond."

The sky is like ink, the rain is like a curtain, the thunder and lightning are combined, Qin Mu, the crazy magistrate, worships and dances in front of the altar of Sheji, talking nonsense, this scene looks extremely weird.

Many people couldn't help but quietly look up at the sky, except for the lightning flying like a dragon, except for the rumbling thunder, the roaring rain, people could not hear anything.

But the magistrate is so haodeweishenme will suddenly go crazy?

The sense of reverence for heaven and earth is thick in everyone's heart, and it feels like pressing a big stone on the heart, making people involuntarily fall to their knees in the heavy rain and under the lightning and thunder.

Zuihou Qin Mu once again pious to the heavens three times and nine kowtows: "Thank God for giving me Chang Yanchi, thank God for mercy." ”

Tens of thousands of people did not dare to stand, they all knelt in the muddy water and bowed three times with Qin Mu, regardless of whether Qin Mu was crazy or not, but God could not be offended.

After the worship, Qin Mu regained his solemn and solemn expression, judging Fang Cai's crazy state.

The rain did not stop, and he shouted for a moment: "Someone, send a message to Ma Qianhu, let him immediately transfer three hundred men and horses, go with this official to open the salt pond, and tell him that this is an instruction from heaven, and whoever disobeys the will of heaven will be sent by heaven!" ”
