Chapter 409 Contracted Works

Although the Shanyue people outside the city have been dealt with, the city of San'in is still under martial law, and many county soldiers and Yulin troops are constantly patrolling the streets. The rebellion in the city was quickly crushed and did not cause much damage.

Song Yichen rode alone to the Taishou Mansion, Guo Jia was already very busy, and even many people from major families stayed to help in the mansion. Ji Yanran was directing her clansmen to be busy everywhere.

When they saw Song Yichen coming, they hurriedly saluted, and now the people of several major families are convinced by Song Yichen, and they don't dare to have any careful thoughts at all, this person can take the head of the local general in the army of ten thousand armies alone, and he will only go against him if he thinks his life is too long.

"No need to be polite. Song Yichen hurriedly helped several people up, "Is the loss in the city big?" Although his monarch's information can also be found, it still needs to be asked symbolically.

"There are not many Shanyue people who made a rebellion this time, and with the help of the major families and the mountain people who returned to Shun, they were quickly suppressed, and the loss was not big, but I don't know how to deal with these mountain people. Xi Zhicai said.

Several people next to him also pricked up their ears to listen to what Song Yichen would do, through these practices, it can also be inferred that his behavior and deeds, in the future, they will also need to work under his hands for a long time, guessing the intention is also a necessary skill, it is generally difficult for an upright person to mix well, unless his background is big enough to ignore any enemy.

"Toast and don't eat and drink, although many people are bewitched, they still can't be forgiven, all the mountain people who make a rebellion are all rushed to slaves, and those who make a rebellion are all beheaded by all the men in the family, and the women who are good looking are used as official prostitutes, the second is military prostitutes, and the second ones are reduced to slaves. There weren't many Shanyue who made trouble this time, and Song Yichen didn't believe how many women there would be among them, so he ordered.

Hearing this, Xi Zhicai and the others nodded, this is still a relatively decent practice, after all, they are rebelling and causing chaos! They need to be severely punished to set an example.

Then Song Yichen said: "Make a list of those mountain people who helped suppress the rebellion before, and I will ask each household to send a reward." "In fact, it doesn't need to be too good to give rewards, the ancient farts ~ people are easy to solve, their thoughts are still very simple, as long as they send one or two sheep from door to door, they will be grateful to Song Yichen.

In the era of farming, ploughing cattle is productivity, so beef is rarely eaten, even the emperor, usually the aristocratic rich people eat mutton, pork is for the poor to eat, the scholars will not eat. The price of mutton is also quite high, and Song Yichen gives them fat sheep, whether they eat it themselves or sell it, their lives can improve a lot. And Song Yichen doesn't have many other things, and there are many in the Cattle and Sheep World Farm.

Xi Zhicai nodded, and hurriedly asked people to prepare, eradicate those who have two hearts, and reward those who have meritorious Shanyue, so that they can become role models, which is more conducive to the integration of Shanyue people. After this battle, the large-scale Shanyue tribes in Huiji County were almost wiped out, and their important energy was how to completely integrate these mountain people into the life of the Han people, which could not be solved overnight.

Hearing Song Yichen mention the reward, the people of the major families even erected their ears high, this time the mountain people contributed a minority, most of the strength was from their families, and now that Song Yichen mentioned the reward, they naturally had to pay attention to see if they had their own share.

Song Yichen naturally knew their thoughts, checked the other party's attributes, and had a good impression of himself, at least he didn't have a bad feeling, Song Yichen wouldn't mind giving them a little benefit and said: "There are a lot of mountain people in Shanyin City today, and the city needs to be expanded, are you interested in contracting this project?" Song Yichen didn't have the energy to do so many things, and the manpower on hand was not enough, so he adopted the contract system of later generations to contract to various families, so that they could also make money, and they could also help him solve the work problems of the mountain people.

"Project, contracting?" The heads of the families were stunned when they heard these two new terms, what was this? They had never heard of it, and they were still a little literate in their hearts to become a local family, but they still didn't understand the meaning of this. There is no way, the ancient government projects are all based on labor, they are all compulsory, not only do not have to pay wages, but even the rations need to be provided by the people.

Song Yichen saw their dazed looks, so he explained to them what a project was and what was contracting. Only then did the heads of the families suddenly realize, but is this really possible? Will they be punished if they spread it out like this? This is not in line with the system that the Han Dynasty has always had!

"Although the idea of the lord is good, but this is not in line with the system of the imperial court, and it will increase the government's expenses......" The head of the Yu family admonished, and the latter words did not continue, but the meaning is obvious, you are a bad idea, if the emperor knows, it is a problem whether your Taishou can continue to do it, and this is a great drag on the government's finances.

Song Yichen thought about it for a while, and then looked at Xi Zhicai and Guo Jia shaking their heads at him, it seems that this approach is really not good, Liu Hong is not dead, the world is not in chaos, he can't risk the world's disapproval and be maverick, this is not good for his reputation, and if he doesn't get it right, it will cause a lot of trouble, so he changed his method: "What if it is exchanged for the same price of taxes?"

Song Yichen's words made everyone's eyes brighten, Song Yichen is tax-free in Huiji, and there is no need to pay taxes to the imperial court, although they don't know the specific reason, but they all know this fact, the taxes in Huiji County are almost Song Yichen's, and he uses the tax-free method to exchange the family's labor with the family, the two are essentially the same, but the name is different!

With the name, all the big families agreed, they have a lot of land, and they still have a lot of taxes to pay every year, listening to Song Yichen's meaning, they can pay a lot less taxes, and they are still happy to make money.

However, in order to prevent these families from doing anything wrong, Song Yichen told them his requirements again, asking them to give those laborers a certain salary or something, not to treat them badly, the price should be basically the same as Song Yichen's, the quality should be up to standard, and so on.

The heads of all the families also agreed, the quality should be good, this is a must, the last time the Shanyue people attacked the city gate, their losses are also very large, if the city wall is a little taller, Shanyue may not be able to attack the Sanyin! As for the money, they also agreed, anyway, they made Song Yichen's money, as long as they built it reasonably and reported the account, they couldn't lose.
