Chapter Twenty-Nine: Today's Twenty-Nine Villages
In the blink of an eye, it has been three months since the 29th village was officially under the rule of Shangjin County. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The last remaining big clan Yu family in the Twenty-Nine Village has left with Nanyi Jushi, and there are no more big clans in the Twenty-Nine Village now. After the rebellion ended, Yu Changnian planned to take the land of the Great Clan into the possession of Nami Jushi, but before he could put it into action, Rimi Shrine declared war on the 29 villages.
After Wei Lin annexed the Twenty-Nine Villages, he directly pocketed the land of these ownerless clans and turned it into his private property. He wanted to give Wei Xu a part of the land, but Wei Xu didn't want it.
In addition to the land left behind by the clan, Wei Lin also bought a large amount of real estate from the villagers at a very low price. Twenty-nine villages lost a large number of men in the rebellion, and widows were everywhere. Forced to make ends meet, the vast majority of them chose to remarry, and the property left by their husbands became their dowry.
But the families who received this dowry did not have enough labor to take care of the land. At this time, Welling issued a decree that those who were willing to sell the property to him would be exempted from taxes for fifty years. It's not that the villagers are unaware of the preciousness of the land, but the temptation of tax exemption for 50 years is too great, so many villagers sell the surplus land to Wei Lin cheaply.
In this way, in just three months, Wei Lin obtained nearly half of the land in Twenty-nine Village, becoming the largest landlord here. After the Bujin people acquired five towns in the northern part of Kamijin Prefecture, many of the Ira, who were unwilling to accept the rule of the Bujin, fled back to the areas controlled by Kamijin Prefecture, and most of them came to Kamijin Prefecture. Wei Lin took the opportunity to hire a large number of tenants and asked them to go to the twenty-nine villages to cultivate the land for themselves.
After the departure of Nami Layman, Nami Castle was renamed Hundred Village Castle. Before Wei Xu left the Twenty-Nine Village, he renovated the Hundred Village Fort, greatly increasing its defense capability. By the way, the large bazaar that once belonged to Riya Shrine has also changed its name and is now called Riya Castle.
Wei Xu didn't ask for the land in the twenty-nine villages, so Wei Lin gave him the city of Rimi, but the villages that originally belonged to the Rimi Shrine were all owned by Kamijin Prefecture. This time Wei Xu did not refuse, he directly handed over the affairs of the twenty-ninth village to Wei Lin's people, and went to Limi City with his cronies.
Danyun River is also among them. When Nam Yi Jushi left Twenty-Nine Village, Dan Yunhe wanted to leave with Yan He, and there were nearly 100 people who had the same idea as him. These nearly 100 people were waiting for Yan He in front of Nami Castle, but what was waiting for them was Yan He's cold eyes, which really made them very chilled.
Just when these people were hesitating whether to leave with Yan He, Wei Xu appeared at the right time. His previous words had a great impact on Dan Yunhe, so it didn't take much for him to gain Dan Yunhe's following. And Dan Yunhe is the leader of these nearly 100 people, and Wei Xu took these nearly 100 people under his command by the way.
The first thing Wei Xu did after coming to Limi City was to change the garrison structure. Following the example of the Bujin, he organized the garrison in the city of Rimi into four battalions of 600 men each. Dan Yunhe was appointed commander of one of the battalions, and his command included nearly 100 men who had accompanied Wei Xu and 500 recruits who had just been recruited from the city.
Wei Xu knew that he didn't understand administration and was not suitable for managing the territory. He promoted a man named Daiyong among his cronies and asked him to run the city of Rimi in his place. This person was the cronie who found Zhou Gu, and by the way, after Zhou Gu completed the task, Wei Xu paid him double the reward, and then let him leave with Ruying.
The buildings in Rimi City were damaged during the war, and after gaining the territory, Daion worked to restore them. By the end of November, the main buildings of the city had been restored.
At the end of October, the evil shrine forces that had lost the Black Shrine were basically wiped out, and the illegal forces in Kamijin Prefecture and Hara Satoya Shrine were reactivated. Wei Lin asked Wei Xu to send troops to clear out these illegal forces, Wei Xu felt that this was a good opportunity to train the troops, so he personally led a battalion of men and horses back to Shangjin County, and asked Dan Yunhe to lead his battalion to clear out the illegal forces in Limicheng.
After nearly a month of fighting, Dan Yunhe and his subordinates killed nearly 300 outlaws and captured more than 100 people. But 53 of Dan Yunha's men were killed, another 30 were disabled and retired, and Dan Yunha himself was wounded twice.
The first time was when he was slashed in the back by a bandit in hand-to-hand combat, and the second time was when he was shot in the right leg by a stray arrow from a bandit. After returning to the city, Wei Xu's class learned of this situation and personally went to Danyunhe to offer condolences, which made Danyunhe very moved.
After that, Wei Xu wanted to go to Twenty-Nine Village to continue cleaning up the lawbreakers, and Dan Yunhe volunteered to accompany him. On December 2, Wei Xu led two battalions of men and horses into Baicun Fort. Dan Yunhe followed Wei Xu on the expedition before his injuries healed, but his wounds collapsed during the march and he could not participate in the next military operation, so Wei Xu could only leave him in Baicun Fort to recuperate.
The Hundred Village Fort is now also the property of Wellin, and the downtown area around the Hundred Village Fort has been renamed the commercial area and is also owned by Wellin. After three months of recuperation, the business district has revived, but it is far from what it was when Nami Lodge was there. Shops and stalls have been filled, but beggars are everywhere in the business district, and hygiene is much worse than before.
Danyunhe couldn't stay in the Baicun Fort, so he walked alone on the city wall. After seeing the appearance of the business district, Dan Yunhe frowned, and his heart was entangled.
Beggar...... I didn't expect that there would be beggars in the twenty-nine villages......
Is it because of the attack of the evil witch? Is it because of that rebellion? Or is it because of the invasion of Rimi Shrine?
Dan Yunhe knew in his heart that none of these three were the right answers. He knew that the beggars were supposed to be refugees from other places or runaway slaves. During his reign, Nami lay out a complete set of containment procedures, which could effectively convert these outsiders into the local labor force, and eventually integrate into the 29 villages.
After the 29 villages were incorporated into Kamijin County, Weilin outlawed this measure. Not only the measures to shelter the displaced people, but also all the public welfare measures set by the Nami monks during his reign were abolished, because these measures increased the financial burden of Kamijin Prefecture. At present, Kamijin Prefecture is still burdened with a debt of 40 million Galle, and 4 million Galle must be paid to the Republic of Bujin every year, which is 2,000 kan in exchange for Ira money.
The accounts of the twenty-nine villages are completely open and can be viewed even by outsiders. In April of the 133rd year of the new calendar, the cash income of the 29 villages was 265 guan 310 moon and the cash expenditure was 263 guan 750 moon and yi liang. Among them, the military expenditure is only 25 guan 200 wen yi liang money, and the public welfare measures expenditure is more than 50 guan yi liang money.
As long as all public welfare measures are abolished, 50 kan of Ira's money can be saved every month, which is 600 kan a year, which is equivalent to 30 percent of the total debt to be repaid that year. Of course, the current Twenty-Nine Village is still in a state of great vitality, and the monthly cash income has not exceeded 100 Kan Ira's money. But even so, Welin still took fifty of Ira money out of cash income to pay off his debts.
As a result, administrative expenditures were greatly reduced, the development and construction of the 29 villages were almost stagnant, and there was a situation in which the salaries of soldiers and servants were not paid. The enthusiasm of the soldiers and servants who could not get paid was greatly reduced, and the atmosphere of laziness permeated the entire Baicun Fort.
At this time, a coat was gently draped over Dan Yunhe's body. Dan Yun-ha looked back and saw that his mother was looking at his face with a worried expression.
Dan Yunhe's mother had already gone with him to settle in Limi City, but Dan Yunhe's injury made her very worried, so she had to come with him. Dan Yunhe didn't want to agree, but she assured Dan Yunhe that she would just follow Dan Yunhe to Twenty-Nine Village and would not go out to fight with him, so Dan Yunhe brought her with him.
"Mother, why are you here?"
Dan Yunhe hurriedly took off his coat and draped it over his mother.
"It's windy on the city wall, so let's go down first."
Dan Yunhe's mother nodded lightly, and then walked down the city wall with Dan Yunhe's support. In fact, she is far from the age of being helped to walk, she knows that this is Dan Yunhe's filial piety, and she is afraid that she will fall when she goes down the stairs, so she will carefully support her arm.
After walking down the city wall, Dan Yunhe looked at the gate of the castle and turned to his mother.
"Do you want to go out for a walk?"
The mother smiled and shook her head, Dan Yunha knew that she was afraid that her wound would open again, so she let go of her mother's hand and moved her muscles in front of her.
"Don't worry, Mother! I'm almost fine! ”
When her mother saw Dan Yunhe's appearance, she couldn't help but smile, and then she put her arms around him and said softly.
"Let's go, then."
Dan Yoon-ha took his mother to the street, and the garbage on the street, as well as the indescribable stench, made him frown. His mother covered her nose and sighed heavily before she had gone far.
"Why did Nami Lay Monk leave......
Dan Yunhe doesn't understand politics and doesn't know the truth, but he still remembers the rumors in Twenty-Nine Village three months ago. First there was a rebellion, then there were rumors, and if it were him, he would have left these people alone.
He didn't want to talk to his mother about these bad things, so he pointed to a nearby stall and said.
"Mother, what do you think of the wood carvings over there?"
Mother looked up and shook her head slightly.
"It's good-looking, but it's not practical, so don't buy it."
"And what do you think of the pottery over there?"
"Hmm...... Let's go over there. ”
When the two came to the stall selling clay pots, Dan Yunhe's mother squatted down, picked up a clay pot and looked at it carefully, knocked it gently, and then asked the vendor.
"How much does this cost?"
"8 cents." The vendor replied, "If you want to buy it, you can sell it for 7 cents." ”
"7 is too expensive......"
Dan Yunha's mother was about to bargain when suddenly a beggar pounced on her feet and made her scream. Seeing this, Dan Yunhe was furious and kicked the beggar away. When the peddler saw that someone had ruined his business, he got up and grabbed the small wooden stool under his buttocks and smashed it at the beggar's body.
The beggar screamed and cried for mercy after being beaten. When Dan Yunha's mother heard the beggar's voice, she immediately stepped forward to stop it, and she even threw herself on the beggar in order to prevent the vendor from continuing to beat the beggar. Seeing this, the hawker could only stop and looked at Dan Yunhe for unknown reasons.
Dan Yoon-ha didn't understand why his mother did this, so he wanted to pull his mother up. Seeing that the hawker was no longer violent, the mother took the initiative to get up and grabbed Dan Yunhe tightly with the hand that had touched the beggar.
"Yunha! Yun Ha! It's the master! It's the master! ”
The mother's appearance was very excited, and tears of joy flowed from her eyes. Dan Yunhe looked at the beggar in ragged clothes and smelled of his body in shock, and found that his appearance was indeed similar to his biological father.
"It's me! It's me! ”
When the beggar heard Dan Yunha's mother's voice, he struggled to get up, ignoring the pain.
"Yunha! Xiaolan! Save me! Help me! ”
Xiaolan is the name of Dan Yunhe's mother, her original name was Zhu Xiaolan, and she changed her surname to Dan after she became a dowry maid and married into the Dan family. After the fall of the Dan family, under the persuasion of Dan Yunhe, she changed her surname back to Zhu. At first, Dan Yunhe also wanted to change his surname to Zhu, but Zhu Xiaolan refused to live or die, so Dan Yunhe did not change his surname.
Dan Yoon-ha recognized his biological father's voice and immediately grabbed his mother's wrist and tried to pull her out of here.
"Yunhe !!"
Zhu Xiaolan tried her best to break free from Dan Yunhe's hand, and knelt down for her son with a "poof". (To be continued.) )
