Lord of the House

(Update three chapters for red tickets, there are two more chapters ahead)

*********

It was impossible for Lin Fu to reach out to the place directly. The refugees or disaster victims could only be resettled in the place. They quarreled and blew their beards in the tent for a long time. Before Ning Zechen came over, many matters were discussed and settled. .

Xisha Island and all the sandbars in the middle of the river are all official fields. The local forces represented by Chen Kun only allow the refugees to create households on the spot, but the land is provided in the form of rent and sale. In addition to the field tax, the households also have to take an additional 20-30% of the annual harvest to pay the field rent.

Xisha Island is a new wasteland, and the new household system can be exempted from the land tax for three years, but Chen Kun killed the land rent.

It's no wonder that Lin Fu's temper was getting worse and worse. He couldn't help but slapped the table and poured the hot tea on Chen Kun's face.

Chongzhou has fertile ripe fields, winter wheat and summer rice. One mu of land can produce 500 to 600 catties of wheat and rice annually. A family can have 20 mu of paddy fields in Chongzhou, which is considered a well-off family.

The natural disasters of Xisha Island are serious. In addition to typhoon floods in summer, the river water is low and shallow in winter, and the sea water is recharged. Salt tides are formed almost every year, causing serious salinization of the land along the beach, which is not conducive to cultivation. The land and land are barren and there are no water conservancy facilities. Even if the weather is good for a year, the output is far lower than that of ordinary mature fields.

It was inevitable that Chen Kun killed Tian Ren, and in the final analysis, he had to force these refugees away from Chongzhou.

Lin Fu now only wants more than 20,000 disaster victims to officially settle in Xisha Island. The land rent is only two or three thousand taels of silver a year, and it can't bring down Jiyun Club.

The reason for the quarrel, Lin Fu also took this as a condition, coercing Chongzhou County and Hailing Prefecture to agree that Hu Zhiyong, Hu Qiaoyi and his son would move out from the Chongzhou * Hu family Xi family, and enter Xisha Island with Hu Zhiyong as the leader of the Lijia, agreeing. On behalf of Chongzhou County, Li Shuyi was given the exclusive authority to deal with the resettlement of refugees and the establishment of households, and promised a quota of 300 villagers, and the brave leaders of the villages were selected from the resettlement victims.

Li Shuyi was originally an official in Chongzhou County, and Hu Zhiyong was originally a gentry businessman in Chongzhou County. Although he has been close to Lin Fu during this period of time, he is suspected of licking the buttocks of the Chu Party, but after all, they are local people, Wu Meijiu, Chen Kun and the others. I don't worry that Li Shuyi and Hu Zhiyong will be entwined with Lin Bing. I think that everyone will inevitably follow the trend at this time, but when the Chu Party loses power, when the time comes, Li Shuyi and Hu Zhiyong will know what to choose.

In the final analysis, Chen Kun and Wu Meijiu were the most worried about the refugees. In addition to being controlled by the county magistrate, they also took the initiative to ask Hu Zhiyong to serve as the commander and directly control the township camp. Naturally, Lin Fu agreed "reluctantly".

Having passed the examination of Ning Zechen's ability, especially Ning Zechen's thin and fair image was reduced to their resistance, Chen Kun and Wu Meijiu also agreed that Ning Zechen should be the deputy commander of the Xisha Island Township Battalion, responsible for the training of the villagers.

After many matters are settled, a written letter needs to be submitted to the Minister of Proclamation and Envoy for approval.

************

The East China Sea bandits were raging in the waters of Taihu Lake again. Chen Kun, Wu Meijiu and others did not dare to spend the night outside the city. Seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye and left. Lin Fu sent them to the outside of the camp and stopped, but Li Shuyi and Hu Zhiyong had to bite the bullet. Send them aboard.

"The two of you have to act on your own..." Chen Kun dropped such a sentence and boarded the boat, ignoring Li Shuyi and Hu Zhiyong.

Li Shuyi looked embarrassed. As far as his own wishes were concerned, he would rather stay on Xisha Island and be solely responsible for the resettlement of refugees. However, it was inevitable that he would never leave the country for this reason. If you don't open up your relationship with Lin Fu, you can't avoid being labeled as a party of Chu.

The Chu party is powerful, and those who tend to gain power may think this is a rare opportunity, but things are far from simple.

One of the main tasks of Gu Wuchen's arrival in Jiangning was to increase the supply of grain from Jiangdong County to Yanjing, from the current level of 600,000 shi of cano grain per year to 2 million shi, which is about 30,000 shi in Chongzhou County.

This is something that the local government has tried its best to do, but the governor of Jiangning, Wang Xueshan, took hold of Gu Wuchen and softened his attitude in the matter of Xia Cao.

The grain burden can still be apportioned to tenant farmers and self-cultivators as much as possible, but now there are rumors that Zhang Xie intends to raise city taxes and levy mining taxes in the southeastern counties in order to raise salaries, which is even more fatal.

The Dongyang Lin clan has acquired more than 20,000 mu of land, but the annual land rent income is only 4,000-5,000 taels of silver. The Lin clan can accumulate huge wealth and privately support more than 500 villagers, relying on the monopoly of local commerce. Most of the city tax revenue of Shanglinlicao City falls into the private pockets of a few families such as the Lin family.

This is the case with the Dongyang Forest Clan, the Jiangning Qu Clan, and the slightly powerful clans in the southeastern counties.

In addition, city tax is the main source of financial resources for local officials, and it is also the main financial source for local officials to accept bribes and enrich their personal pockets.

The Chu Party's desire to increase the collection of commercial taxes such as municipal taxes in the southeastern counties can be said to directly infringe the interests of the gentry and local bureaucratic forces in the southeastern counties.

Although this matter is only released, there has been a lot of discussion in the local area, and it is regarded as a flood.

It is also the aristocratic bureaucratic groups in the southeastern counties that are very resistant to the Chu Party. Although the Chu Party is gaining power, Gu Wuchen is also very popular in Jiangning. Local officials such as Chen Kun and Wu Meijiu avoided Gu Wuchen and Lin Fu like a poisonous scorpion. , Willingness to please.

Hu Zhiyong and Li Shuyi's conflicted and hesitant thoughts were completely different. Seeing Li Shuyi's frowning face, he smiled and said, "In the future, I will rely more on Li Shu for everything on the island..."

"Mr. Hu is joking, it should be Shuyi relying on Mr. Hu." Li Shuyi said with a bow.

In Li Shuyi's view, Chongzhou dislikes the Chu Party and Lin Fu again, but the plan of Lin Fu to resettle the refugees on Xisha Island will benefit Chongzhou without any harm.

Eliminating the hidden dangers of refugees is for one benefit, and the establishment of township camps on Xisha Island is actually a southern barrier for Chongzhou to resist the invasion of East China Sea invaders is for the second benefit...

Li Shuyi sighed slightly in his heart, thinking that this is the only thing at the moment, and doing these things is worthy of his heart, how can he manage too many things in the future? Seeing Lin Fu, Ning Zechen, Ao Canghai and others standing in front of the tent, Li Shuyi and Hu Zhiyong hurried over.

*************

Lin Bie stood in front of the camp and looked around. It had only been six days since the lake raided the island, and there were shocking scars everywhere on Guanyin Beach. Li Shuyi and Hu Zhiyong came over, he pointed to the **** not far away, and said, "There is a cemetery built on the sunny slope, and all the victims of Xisha Island will be buried this time and in the future, and their names and deeds will be engraved on the monument. Let future generations pay their respects and remember. The construction of this cemetery will use blue bricks and stone materials. Don’t save it. Coffins and coffins should not be buried together. This matter should be done together with the enclosure, so don’t delay. How much money will be used, you can first calculate it. Report the number to me..."

"Well, I'll find someone to investigate tomorrow." Hu Zhiyong replied, people died a lot at the time, even if they couldn't be buried in their hometown, no one wanted to be a lonely ghost, and it was even more important to build a tomb for future generations. The ideal expectation of Qingliu, a scholar, for what happened behind him, Lin Fu used it to sacrifice Minyong. Although it is said that he will still be ridiculed and rejected by Qingliu, it can inspire the people of Xisha Island to fight bravely for the island.

Lin Fu added: "The resettlement of refugees is almost settled like this, but the people who sacrificed this time and the victims who actively resisted the lake robbers died, their family and fields did not follow the rules just negotiated, and they should be specially taken care of. Hu. My family has 300 acres of ripe fields in Guanyin Beach, which Jiyun Society bought with money, and then reclaimed 200 acres of fertilized fertilized fields to give them some share for each household. Give the land deed directly to avoid the land rent. In addition, this part It is more appropriate for the villagers to share the Tianding tax and silver shared by the field..."

"The 300 acres of cooked fields are donated by the Hu family for keeping the island, and the Hu family should do something for Xisha Island," Hu Zhiyong said. It's an industry that he can take out, but Lin Bie has paid so much for Xisha Island regardless of the cost. How can he not have this kind of spirit?

In front of Li Shuyi, Lin Fu didn't say much. Besides, if Hu Zhiyong wanted to gain popularity on Xisha Island, he needed the Hu family to contribute to the resettlement of refugees on Xisha Island. , Husband and wife, parents and children and grandchildren are not compatible. Some old customs can be changed appropriately. Of course, we do not force them. If they can take the initiative to form a household, they should be encouraged and given certain rewards. What to do, you can discuss Make up your mind..."

Li Shuyi nodded. He was in charge of setting up households. Many households were left alone and widowed.

Affected by Lin Fu, Li Shuyi has also become pragmatic and hardworking. There are still things waiting for him to do at the refugee settlement site in the West Peninsula~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Seeing that the sky is still bright, I think that at this time I used to live there at night. If I can understand more about the situation, I bid farewell and rush over on horseback.

After dinner, Lin Fu called Hu Zhiyong to his tent. Hu Zhiyong came over and saw that Lin Mengde was also in the tent.

"No outsiders, sit down and talk," Lin Fu greeted Hu Zhiyong to sit down and said, "The Hu family donated 300 acres of cooked land in Guanyin Beach. I'm afraid that the sugar workshop will not be able to operate, right?"

"It's unsustainable," Hu Zhiyong said honestly without being hypocritical. "Closing down the workshop can also make everyone's minds here."

"You transfer all the foreign debts owed by the Hu family and the workshop to Jiyun Club," Lin Fu said. "Not only should the workshop not be closed, but the scale should be expanded. Guanyintan needs all your energy to stay here. Take a break and let Hu Zhicheng, the second master, be in charge of the workshop."

In fact, donating 300 acres of land on Xisha Island will put a lot of pressure on the Hu family due to the foreign debts. The gathering of the family who asks for debts during the festival is really ugly. Lin Fu wants to take over the foreign debts of the workshop and the Hu family. , What else can Hu Zhiyong do besides nod and agree? I also thought to myself: It is better for the second brother to work in Jiyun Club. Xisha Island is always dangerous, and the Hu family is scattered, just like the principle that eggs are not in one basket.

"The part of the money and rice grain allocated by the inspector and the envoy from the food raised by the Pingjiang prefecture for disaster relief and famine preparation in Xisha Island is on the bright side, and those can be used as an account for the local officials. In addition, I will give you another 20,000 taels of silver. , don’t waste the cost of building the enclosure, and the Guanyintan water dock should be built as soon as possible, and after the water dock is completed, it will be convenient to transport materials to the island on a large scale…” Lin Fu continued, “I am in Anji County this time from Shu’s house. Cut off more than 20,000 taels of silver, which they owe to Xisha Island, and use it for Xisha Island." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
