Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

"My son, Tie Zhu, Er Zhu, come out soon, the emperor sent someone to bring food for the winter!"

"Food? Did you really send food? Are those officials really handed out?"

Inside the dilapidated thatched hut, a middle-aged woman and several sloppy men in tattered thick coats walked out in a hurry, looking at the ox cart full of sacks at the entrance of the village, full of confidence.

"Don't talk nonsense, the county magistrate this time, I heard that he was a general who followed the emperor to fight in the north and south.

The old man immediately reprimanded with a stern face, but soon, with the shouting of the county official, the old man's wrinkled old face immediately turned sunny.

"Come here, everyone in charge of every household, come here!"

"Master, here we come!"

The old man ran forward immediately.

"Listen now, His Majesty's power is unparalleled in the world. He has swept away the Jiannu Tartars, rescued you from the hands of the Jiannu Tartars, and distributed the fields to you, and distributed seeds and tools. You guys are blessed!"

The clerk shook his head and talked at length. In the past, the people would have sneered at it. After all, no matter how nice it sounds, it is all nonsense if it is not practical.

But now, the arrival of the Daheng Emperor has indeed completely changed their miserable lives.

First, they slaughtered those Jiannu Tartars who did not treat them as human beings,

Dividing land, distributing seeds and tools, renting cattle for farming, and distributing food rations, all of these things, in the past, were things they never dared to think about!

So, these long speeches, they can't even want to say more!

"No, winter is coming, Your Majesty, considering that you just divided the fields this year, the food in the fields is not yet ripe, and there is no surplus grain at home, no, let me tell you, this grain, again brought to you."

"Come here. According to the previous division, if there is something in the divided field, stand here. If there is no plant in the divided field, come here..."

After a lot of tossing and ordering, the clerk clapped his hands contentedly: "It's still the old rule, this food is distributed according to His Majesty's regulations, but this is brought from the city, and the brothers eat horse chews, so there must be losses on the way. , the loss is not much, only 30%."

Speaking of this, the little official's smile suddenly became serious, and his sinister gaze swept across the crowd:

"You guys, you have to keep your mouth shut. If someone comes to spot-check, don't rant about our corruption!"

"Otherwise, the next time something good happens, it won't be your turn!"

"Don't worry, sir, our mouths are very strict and we won't talk nonsense."

"Don't worry, sir, we promise not to say a word more."

All the people immediately spoke up, almost all of them clapping their chests to assure.

Seeing this scene, the clerk's face turned cloudy and sunny, and he returned to a smile: "Come here, come and get the food in order, Your Majesty is generous, these food, let you eat a dry meal every day. many!"

"Eat three thin meals and put more water, then there will be a lot of food left. You, you all have to remember His Majesty's kindness."

"When such a good day falls on your heads, I am afraid that the ancestral graves will have to smoke!"

"Of course, it's a good day, this old man is still the first time in his life!"

"The old man's family has already set up the longevity card, but the old man's family prays to His Majesty the emperor sooner or later!"

"Old man Niu, your home is only in the morning and evening, ours, but three times a day!"

"Such a good emperor can live a hundred years, this good day is rare!"

All the people, every word you say, every word I say, are all shouting non-stop.

As for the loss that the official said...

Is it normal to have losses?

The hand of the grain management official is not greedy, so what is it called the official?

At least this has come down, barely enough, but still full.

In the past so many years, so many natural disasters, when did half a grain of rice come down, let alone be a cow and a horse under the men of Jiannu Tartar, and be beaten and killed.

This life, they, have been very satisfied.

At this time, at the entrance of the village, a group of people came quietly.

"Your Majesty, sir, this is Xiaohe Village, Liaohe County. According to the latest statistics of household registration, Xiaohe Village has 31 households, 189 people, and 111 young people!"

Li Xiu nodded, but he didn't question why there were so many young and strong people. After all, after years of wars and turmoil, and in addition to being a slave and a maid under the post-Jin Dynasty, the old and the weak were almost dead. Yes, most of them are young and strong, not surprising.

This is also the most important reason why he encouraged Han people in Liaodong to marry Korean women.

Just like North Korea, he was rubbed on the ground twice by Hou Jin, and was repaired once by Liaozhen. Young and strong men were also killed and injured, but it was women who left a lot.

In this way, it can just complement the Han people in Liaodong, which can not only increase the number of people in Liaodong and speed up population reproduction, but also make North Korea more stable and more closely integrated into this cultural circle through this intermarriage.

In this way, intermarriage is naturally a great deed.

His thoughts flashed away, and when he saw the ox carts full of grain and grass parked in the village, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile: "It's better to come early, it's better to come by coincidence, let's go, follow me to see."

After he finished speaking, Li Xiu rode his horse, and a group of soldiers in disguise followed immediately behind him.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing the cavalry galloping towards him, the official's expression changed slightly, he winked, and immediately a soldier from the patrolling battalion stepped forward and stopped Li Xiu and the rest.

"The imperial court distributes food, and quickly dismount!"

Wang Wu was about to scold, but Li Xiu raised his hand to stop him, and he turned over and dismounted. Li Xiu smiled and said, "We are from a business firm in Guan Nei. This time I came here to see the market. I passed by here and wanted to drink."

After speaking, Li Xiu looked at the grain that was being distributed one by one, and said with a little surprise, "Is this a grain distribution?"

"Caravan..."

The little official's eyes lit up: "What business are you doing?"

Li Xiu smiled:

"Whatever you need here, we'll go back to the customs and get what you want to sell!"

"That's good!"

The clerk nodded: "Now we are in the Liaodong border, but we have to pay the commercial tax. There are signs posted in Shanhaiguan and the city. Have you read it?"

"I saw it myself."

Li Xiu nodded.

"At the beginning of the new dynasty, it is normal to change the rules."

"Exactly!"

The clerk agreed with eyes full of eyes: "The new rules of the new dynasty, of course, are justified. It would be nice if everyone was as sensible as you, the shopkeeper."

Li Xiu raised his brows and asked curiously:

"Why, are there many people who are unwilling to pay taxes?"

"Of course!"

The clerk nodded: "Now that Your Majesty has recaptured Liaodong, isn't there a shortage of everything? Many merchants in the customs have come over, thinking that they are doing things like they did before, charging them a little tax, grinding and chirping, and some of them still try their best. The way to evade tax, the patrol battalion also caught a few tax evasion caravans a few days ago, the goods were confiscated directly, and the leading business managers were all thrown into prison…”

Speaking of this, the clerk also shook his head: "You say they are stupid or not. Now the emperor is sitting in Shenyang City and staring at this reform in person. They dare to commit crimes against the wind, they are really courting death!"

"Hahaha, indeed, Dingfeng committed the crime, and it will definitely be dealt with strictly."

Li Xiu smiled.

"That is, the county magistrate said that the water conservancy outside the city is poor, and these prisoners in the prison will use it to dig ditches and repair canals..."

"It's a good use."

Li Xiu chuckled and shook his head. Each of the officials from all over Liaodong was personally selected and appointed by him, and he naturally remembered them clearly.

Chen Hong, the magistrate of Liaohe County, was naturally born in the army, and once stationed exclusively on a general banner of the guards of Duke Qin's mansion.

Thanks to the superior environment of Duke Qin's mansion at the time, and he specially sent people to teach the guards to read and read, the guards of hundreds of people, almost everyone was literate and read a lot of books.

As for this Guards, after he ascended the throne, most of them also became the backbone of the current imperial camp, and a very small number of those who he felt had the ability of herdsmen were sent to the Civil Division of the Military Academy for training.

And Chen Hong, the magistrate of Liaohe County, is naturally one of them.

Less than a year after entering school, he rushed ducks to the shelves and came to Renzhi County, Liaohe.

Nowadays, the officials of the various prefectures and counties in Liaodong are almost all of the Civil Division of the Military Academy to drive ducks to the shelves.

Li Xiu didn't expect them to be capable, as long as they were able to implement the reform strategy and then do their basic duties well.

Just like this county magistrate, in the Civil Affairs Department of the Military Academy, one teaches the law and principles, the second teaches the crops during solar terms, the third teaches arithmetic, and the fourth teaches official document exchanges.

As long as these points are mastered, the basic responsibilities of a county magistrate are almost the same. If it is said that in the civil service system, this kind of herdsman's official is naturally unqualified.

But in this Liaodong, from the governor, to the prefect, and the county magistrate, all the generals in the army have turned into officials of the herdsmen. The entire system of herdsmen's rule in Liaodong is like a large guardhouse. The policies are issued and implemented, so, It is also an alternative efficient and lean.

In the Daheng world, there are many other types of high-efficiency and lean. The three sides of the capital, the three sides of Shaanxi, and many other important places in the north, almost all apply this ruling model, plus there are still various guards in the north. , which constituted his unique ruling system over the world.

This is also the biggest reason why he dared to lift a knife and cut down on the gentry landlord class without hesitation.

The civil servants and gentry have a great influence on him and the existence of Daheng, and even enough to easily shake the country's fortunes, but it is not that they are separated from the civil servants and gentry. His rule will not go on!

"The shopkeeper, you are busy first. We have not finished the distribution of the food here. This is a major event, and it cannot be delayed."

The clerk greeted them with a smile, and then walked to the faces of the people. Once again, five people and six people shouted, and bags of food were also distributed.

"Okay, you can go."

Li Xiu waved his hand, then turned around, and looked around, like the cattle that are important to feed in the cowshed under the big tree in the center of the village, like the houses of every family...

When he finally fixed his gaze on the food being distributed, Li Xiuzhi's expression suddenly darkened.

He's not someone who doesn't eat minced meat!

After so many years of fighting between the South and the North, in addition to killing people, the rest is dealing with money and food!

The policy of allocating grain in Liaodong was made by him himself!

For example, cities such as Jinzhou in Guangning and Shenyang in Ningyuan, which were damaged by the war, mostly used work-for-relief, and called the people to repair the city defense dwellings, so as to meet the basic rations of the people.

In the small towns and towns outside the city, and even this kind of villages, those who have crops in their fields are different from those who have not planted crops, or whose crops have been destroyed by war, although the amount of food that is ultimately distributed is different.

But everyone's food is strictly prescribed by him.

Adults are calculated by consuming half a catty of food a day. Although it is less or less, at least it can make people barely enough.

Half a catty of grain a day, a month, is about a bucket of grain.

This bucket is both a unit of weight and, in fact, a unit of container.

If a bucket is full or not, it means that there is no shortage of ounces in this bucket!

And now, every bucket of this grain is almost 20% or 30% less.

Where did this little food go?

Obvious.

At this moment, Li Xiuzhi's expression was extremely gloomy.

These grains, but he squeezed out bit by bit from the gap between his teeth!

For the stability of Liaodong.

An adult, half a catty of rice a day, is already less, and this is scraped by officials at all levels...

But soon, Li Xiu suppressed the killing intent in his heart, took a deep breath, and his expression returned to normal.

It is not scary to be greedy, but to be afraid is to be greedy and not do anything.

At least this Liaohe County was greedy, and things were done for him.

With the implementation of the reform policy, the common people have food to eat, even if they eat a lot less, but they are barely able to eat, and they will not starve to death. He has achieved the goal of stability in Liaodong.

As for the intermediate process...

In this era when officials are almost entirely self-conscious, it is obviously impossible for him to want all officials not to be greedy, even the generals he has trained are the same.

They are also human, and they are human.

Appropriate greed, as long as he does things seriously, he is not unacceptable.

Moreover, nowadays, everything has to make way for reform, and it is not the time to fight corruption and corruption.

"Go and check, who is greedy, how much is greedy, secretly do it, check it out and don't make any noise."

Li Xiu waved his hand, and a Jin Yiwei accompanying him immediately took the lead and turned away.

"Let's go, follow the master and I will walk around the village."

Li Xiu looked as usual, UU reading www. uukanshu.com smiled and exchanged a few words with the little official, and then Shi Shiran wandered around the small village.

Returning to Beijing is imminent. If he doesn't go to the bottom to take a look at the reform situation in person, but only rely on the reports from the people below, he will not feel at ease after all.

In two days, from Shenyang city, to various county towns, and then to villages and towns, half of Shenyang, under the service of the emperor Bailongyu, almost wandered around.

Carefully observe the implementation of taxation and land, the two most fundamental things in the reform.

Fortunately, under the policy of integrating the upper and lower, and applying pressure from the top to the bottom, things are still being done honestly. Even if there are various drawbacks, at least the purpose he wants has been achieved.

The major reform policy, after months of intense pressure and implementation under the **** waiting to be revived, has already taken root in this land, and the rest is day after day, subtly and persistently.
