Chapter 758 758: The blind cat meets a dead mouse (Part 2) [Please take a leave]
Sibao County, Xiaocheng.
When wars spread in Yanzhou and Ganzhou, it was rare to be calm in Sibao County, Longwu County and Minfeng County. Specifically, the first two should be calm. The turmoil broke out more than a month ago in Minfeng County, but the climate was pacified before it even came to an end.
In the shade, refugees who wanted to defect to Minfeng County were grieving.
"How come Minfeng County is in chaos?"
Due to tight manpower and financial tightness, the official office announced that before the real stability of Minfeng County, refugees are not allowed to enter to prevent bandits from gathering and causing chaos. Those who violate the order for the first time will be expelled; those who commit the order again will be punished by sticks; those who fail to correct their mistakes will be killed by sticks!
Faced with the Iron Order, few people knowingly violated it.
"Why do you have to go to the other end of Minfeng? The four treasures are not good?" The aunt who was resting in the shadows felt uncomfortable when she heard this.
Among the three counties, Longwu County is the safest, but it no longer accepts refugees; Minfeng County has the least population and the territory is the most barren; Four Treasure County is between the two. Although it is not up or down, the official office has begun to vigorously rectify and is full of prosperity everywhere.
Where can I find such a good official office?
The refugees led by the head looked embarrassed.
Sibao County is naturally good. They fled from Yanzhou, and they died of illness, starved, and killed by bandits along the way... Only less than 30% of the entire village remained. There is a relative in Minfeng in the village and they are preparing to surrender.
Nothing else, just want to eat a bite of food.
I arrived here with a sense of faith.
As a result, I was told that the boundary marker of Minfeng County cannot be crossed, so how can I not make people feel sad? You can''t go home, right? They also want to settle down in Sibao County, but they have no money and no land to make a living. How can they gain a foothold in a strange place?
The local aunt saw that the twenty or thirty people were in a dilemma. The straw sandals on their feet had long been worn out. Fortunately, the government office launched an artificial road to flatten the land. If it were the same as before, the soles of the two feet would be abandoned sooner or later. I felt a little sympathy.
"You all have some strength, but you are worried about not being able to stay?" The local aunt got up and patted the dust on her butt, handed the farm tools at hand to the old sisters in the same village to take care of, and said, "Look at you, you are so pitiful, alas, come with me."
The refugees looked at each other.
The local villagers who were enjoying the cool breeze smiled and cheered, "You have gone on the good luck. This widow Zhuo''s daughter has a promising career and has become a scholar. She is willing to go out and say a few words, so she can definitely let you stay, and maybe she can still get the place."
Widow Zhuo is a good player in the fields. She does not do less work than men. She usually walks with great strength and walks vigorously. She led the twenty or thirty people who fled to a small shed at the entrance of the village, where a small official with a beard sat.
After hearing Widow Zhuo’s description, the little official nodded.
Take out twenty or thirty blank bamboo slices from the bamboo basket behind.
He said to the refugees: "Everyone line up."
The clerk carefully asked about their name, age, family members, hometown and reasons for their escape, and stamped them after writing. These bamboo pieces are very important. Whether you are temporarily living in Sibao County or want to settle in Sibao County, this thing is indispensable.
Refugees who fled can also use bamboo pieces to receive dry food at nearby relief sites for three days. They will arrange work for everyone within three days. When the refugees heard this, they all felt bitter. What is the purpose of organizing work? Isn’t it just to recruit corvee labor?
They still remember that every time they were levied, some people died of exhaustion and illness, and they could lose weight several times even if they survived for luck.
A good strong man can be thin and adults.
Widow Zhuo said, "You are collecting labor service and giving money and food?"
Refugees shook their heads when they heard this.
Widow Zhuo was very proud: "We the county magistrate will give it to you."
The remuneration is mostly based on old grain, fine salt, kudzu, grain seeds, and silkworm seeds, and occasionally a few kilograms of fat meat can be obtained. Not many, but hardworking still can''t starve to death. In addition to the above remuneration, the official office will also give people a credit for work points. These labor points are contributions to the construction of Sibao County. The more labor points, the more contributions it has to Sibao County. Refugees rent cheap temporary residences based on labor.
If there are no work points, the rental will require full amount.
Of course, the full amount is not expensive.
Even if the temporary residence environment is simple, it can at least shelter from wind and rain, which is much better than refugees sleeping in the open all the way.
As for renting land, you need to wait in line.
Once the land is assigned, wherever the land is, the refugee household registration will be moved to the corresponding county, town and village, and people will also have to move there.
The village was dizzy by the dense information. When he heard the word "land", he was shocked: "Can you still divide the land?"
Widow Zhuo corrected: "It was rented by the official office."
The government office provides land, and refugees use land to farm. After deducting land tax for the harvest in a year, the rest is all their own. If the refugees do not have their own farm tools, oxen and grain seeds, they can also rent them from the official office, but they need to pay a little rent to the official office.
When the village heard this, his mind calmed down.
He asked Tian Tax carefully.
Widow Zhuo said, "You are from outside. In the first three years, you have officials, five people and five people. In the fourth year, you have officials, four people and six people."
This ratio is definitely higher in the peaceful and prosperous times, but in today''s world, people provide land and a quiet environment for common people to cultivate land, and the proportion is not bad, not to mention that the government office gave 10% in the fourth year. But Muramasa was not blinded.
He also asked about land rent and other miscellaneous taxes.
It is obviously not the first time Widow Zhuo has dealt with such a problem. She said directly: "There are no such things, why don''t our county magistrate be a good person? Our daughter also said that all the messy things will be included in the land tax..."
If there is only land tax, no other messy taxes, and no rent, the land tax ratio will be very touching. I thought this was the biggest surprise, but they went out to inquire about it and accidentally found out the harvest of Longwu County next door last year. It is said that after a commoner paid the land tax, the food left behind was more than the harvest of their family in two years.
As long as the family is hardworking and capable, and eats full all year round, some families can still have several tanks of food left.
Muan Zheng smacked his lips.
"Good, what kind of grain did they grow?"
Which farmer does not bend over to serve the fields all year round?
I am afraid that weeds will be removed slowly, which will affect the growth of grain seeds.
Do the same job, but the harvest is very different.
You can find out the reason after going out.
First, the grain provided by the government office is good; second, the weather in the country is good, and there is no flood or drought; third, if the fields are not fertile enough, the government office will also teach you how to composting and maintaining the land step by step. It is said that those who have magical means can also use magical powers...
After hearing this, Munzheng was so moved that he tossed and turned and couldn''t sleep.
You said that they are all human beings, why do people here live like individuals, but they have to leave their hometowns and lose their wives and children?
Laocun was turning his back to his son and secretly wiped away the turbid tears.
But he was still a little worried.
If they are divided into land, will their village be broken up? They are all fellow villagers in the country for many years and relatives from other places, and they cannot take care of them if they are separated. If they offend other villages one day, they will be few and foreign, and they will easily be bullied.
Laocun Masato’s worries are unnecessary.
In order to reduce conflicts, acquaintances are given priority. Even if they cannot be stuffed into a village, they will be nearby.
Laocun was completely relieved when he heard this news.
Similar scenes are performed everywhere in Sibao County.
Sibao County, the official office of the households and cadres.
The official in the office holding the official document saw Shen Zhi coming over and bowed, but was stopped by the latter: "Did you see Lin Hucao?"
The official replied: "Lin Hucao went out of the city to worship."
Shen Zhi asked: "When will you come back?"
The official of the office estimated: "Lin Hucao said that at most one hour, he estimated that the time should be back soon."
Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.
Lin Feng appeared at the door of the official office. She was holding a bamboo basket with some unused candles in the bamboo basket.
Her relatives are buried in the deep mountains outside Xiaocheng.
In the past, I didn’t have the opportunity to worship and clean, but now it’s convenient. I will talk to them every ten thousand times, and I’m still asking about the grave relocation recently. If she had plenty of time, she would take time to run away and help her senior brother Tu Rong clean up the part.
As soon as I came back, I saw Shen Zhi looking for him and thought there was something urgent. After asking, I realized that the other party was here to ask about cotton seeds.
Because the trial planting effect this year is pretty good, the official office plans to vigorously promote cotton in Sibao County next year, so cotton seeds need to be prepared in advance. Lin Feng is the main force of this task. Shen Zhi was urged by Qi Shan to come and be a supervisor every now and then...
Lin Feng put down the bamboo basket, led Shen Zhi to his government affairs hall, lifted up his skirt and sat down, with a bit of sorrow in his expression: "Cotton seeds are a trivial matter, I''m in other troubles."
Shen Zhi: "What you are talking about is Gong Xilangjun? Didn''t Dr. Dong say that his eyes are just about the time to brighten them?"
About one month ago, Lin Feng went out to worship his relatives, passed a cliff and picked up a man who was dying.
That man was Gongxiqiu, whose life was hanging on the line.
The man was saved, but he was blinded.
Lin Feng shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the benefactor. I suddenly remembered something - it is easy to plant cotton in the country, and it is easy to get high-quality cotton seeds, but how to remove the seeds when the cotton is harvested? You can''t peel it slowly with your hands, right?"
The best way is to make a targeted agricultural tool.
But it is easy to say but difficult to do.

??I took a leave, I had a low fever. I felt my head was about to explode when I woke up today, but I didn’t have antigens at home... I hope I won’t get caught again.
PS: Take some painkillers and add some words to the mushrooms.
