Erya first returned to Hepu Town, and told Director Shi, father and son, the old man of the Jin family, Liao Chengzhi, and other big supervisors who were particularly concerned about this matter, about how to deal with the matter, and how to hand over the follow-up matters to Wu Fenggang and so on.

On the one hand, they are very indignant at the practices of those long-term workers, and on the other hand, they are also helpless at the greed and short-sightedness of human nature.

Director Shi has planted the fields himself, although he doesn't have to do anything by himself, and he doesn't need to pay rent and taxes, but he can know how difficult it is for farmers to farm just by going down to collect rent. He sighed and said, "These people are really dazzled by the little benefits in front of them!" It is said that it is good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees, and everything in front of them is managed by the owner, and as long as they do their own work, they will have wages, bonuses, enough food for the family to chew, and meat and fruit from time to time. This kind of day of worry-free drought and flood, three full meals, but I have to think about it more. If it is a private land that they can call the shots, there is nothing to say, the key is that this field is not a private land that they can call the shots, as long as the owner has another idea and does not want to share the land, they can only return it with both hands, and no matter how good the plan is, it will be empty after all. Why can't they see through it? ”

Mr. Jin has lived there for most of his life, and he knows that the minds of people over there are the most slippery. The wealth over there is related to the fertility of the fields, but it is also inseparable from the nimble minds, many eyes, and daring of those who are bold. Then he interjected: "It's not that they can't see through it, but the money has touched their hearts!" I think it's good to do what Xiao Wu said, give them a stick to drink, and let them pay a little price for being unkind! ”

Shi Jingxuan nodded. Gritted his teeth and agreed: "Yes! It is better for Angkor to find the most ruthless master, and take back all the fields and not give them planting, and do not want them to do long-term work. They have only been working long hours on our owner's side for less than three years. I'm afraid they haven't saved much silver, they have no land and no money, I want to see how they live with their families? ”

When Erya imagined the miserable scene of their old and small little food and clothing, she felt uncomfortable. Her original intention was to make everyone live a good life and make the whole society economically take a step forward, and if she suppressed them in this way, it seemed contrary to her own wishes. However, they blatantly broke the contract during the contract period, and they made a lot of trouble. He also hurt the people of the Lord's house. If they were left unpunished, the other Zhuangzi elders would have thought that the proprietor was weak and incompetent, and that it would be difficult for them to obey the management. No matter what you're dealing with. Order and law should be put first, so as to better safeguard fairness, impartiality, and justice.

It's just that what kind of punishment they have to bear, Er Ya doesn't have a measurable degree in his heart, so he has to do it according to Wu Fenggang's idea at present. According to the statement of the second ostrich psychology. It's also called going with the flow! Only a little bit of it has been explained. It is absolutely not allowed to cause a major incident that kills people.

Everyone saw that the lady of the owner didn't want to talk about it with a sad expression, so they all changed the topic with interest. began to ask Xiaolong if he might be used to being an official over there? Ask: What can be planted in the western land? If you open up the wasteland, you may get so much benefit like the Northland?

Speaking of Xiaolong's investigation of the western wasteland with himself and Xiaohu, Erya's mood also became cheerful. She smiled and replied one by one: "Don't look at Xiaolong as an official at the beginning of his career, he doesn't understand anything, but he also has a lot of means!" At first, those people united to embarrass the little dragon, trying to empty his power, but who would have thought that the little dragon would pick up their spears and attack their shields with backhand, but told them to lift a stone and shoot themselves in the foot. They were all embarrassed. Originally, I was worried that Xiaolong had pushed them into a hurry, and secretly colluded with bandits to do something unfavorable to Xiaolong. I never thought that Xiaolong was ready for a long time. stared at them one by one, and didn't even let go of eating and going to the toilet, and in two days, they got a lot of amazing details! However, Xiaolong is different now that he is an official, he is not as impatient as before, and he can calm down now. I didn't rush to hug the bottom when I got the bottom of the people, so I waited for the time to close the net in the future, and hugged those small shrimps and fish together.

As for the land over there, it's really bad, as long as there is no grass and green trees, it's loess. Although it will not be as clean as our stones and river sand, it will not be much fatter. And it can only be one ripe in a year, and according to my current ability, I can't get two ripe. But fortunately, I think that if potatoes, persimmons, sweet potatoes, and cotton are planted in that land, it will not be bad, and it will definitely be harvested. ”

Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard that they were all doing well over there, and at the same time, they were also very proud that Xiaolong could control those subordinates.

Curator Shi took the lead again: "Hmm! Although Hengtai has a temperament, but fortunately, the previous lady of the owner did a good job, so he let him transform the reed swing alone for six years. finally polished this temperament, which is very beneficial to him as an official. ”

"Hey! This is true, but I think that first of all, our little proprietor himself has that smart mind, and it is good to use the trick of hitting their own feet with the stones they lifted! There is also the need to know how to send people to keep an eye on people before smashing them, and this trick is also used well. You want to! This person was smashed and must jump twice, so don't you have to show a little bottom?! What should this trick be called? Old Man Jin thought hard as he tapped his fingers on his head.

Shi Jingxuan saw that Old Man Jin couldn't think of it, so he blushed a little, and hurriedly helped him say it: "Call the grass to startle the snake and automatically appear!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! That's the best thing to say! It's better to read, just one sentence to say something! Where is a big old man like us, I can't tell what I want to say for a long time! It's tiring! ”

"Hahaha!" In Director Shi's office, because of Old Man Jin's words, there was a burst of laughter.

However, Shi Jingxuan was most concerned about the development of the western wasteland, and he asked the lady of the east family when everyone stopped laughing: "The lady of the east family!" What can we do to help with the clearing of the wasteland over there? ”

This is exactly what Erya wanted to say, and hurriedly replied: "Yes! Of course! You send a letter to Zhu Datong in the south and ask him to help buy potatoes over there, as much as you want. You're going to send me west by April next year. There are also the cotton seeds that Zhao Jinfu brought back from the ocean before, didn't you send them down to plant! When it's time to harvest the seeds, you have to go down and collect them all. When the time comes, bring it with the seeds of potatoes and persimmons. ”

"Good! In addition to these seed things, don't you need me to recruit the people who are cultivating the wasteland over there? ”

"In terms of manpower, your boss has sent a message saying that it is enough, and the pass fortress in the Northland is about to be finished, and those people are still willing to continue to work with our family. In addition, General Qin has another group of veterans to come over, and I heard that there are more than 1,000 people in this group, and the manpower is enough. However, I am afraid that the farm tools will have to be made more quickly, otherwise they will not be distributed. ”

Curator Shi interjected curiously and asked, "Why are there so many veterans coming over this year?" It's not a war and chaos, why are they all homeless? ”

didn't wait for Erya to answer, I heard Liao Chengzhi answer with a smile: "Mr. Curator is really dedicated to teaching and educating people, and he doesn't listen to things outside the window!" I've heard from the old man in the north that few of the veterans who returned home are doing well, and I heard that the veterans who stayed in our house are doing well, and many of them have dragged their families to run over. Those who are in the army are so close and don't know it? So! I guess they also begged General Qin to help them send them to our king's house. ”

Director Liao didn't guess wrong, since there are more and more people in the north, there are many people who mine and mine, there are many people who build pass fortresses, and there are many people who graze, mine wasteland, and plant crops, and they also need to consume while earning money, so the relative supply of various living facilities is also natural.

The locals over there have the flexibility to make breakfast snacks, small restaurants, taverns, small teahouses, small shops, paid sewing clothes, making shoes to sell, making clothes to sell, etc., anyway, many large and small businesses are gradually increasing. When the little merchant who walked the streets and alleys saw that life there was good, and when he went elsewhere, he would always say that the place in the north was full of wilderness a few years ago, but now the livestock are fat, the real estate is rich, and the families are rich, and how good the life is. I heard that many people who couldn't live their lives at home were yearning, especially those who didn't have good family affairs at home, and I heard that there were many single men who had not yet married, so I moved my mind. There are one and there are two, and the first woman came over and fell in love with a good son-in-law, and the followers naturally followed.

On the other hand, there are many veterans who have returned to their hometowns, although there is a little resettlement fee, but the home is basically joint property. Twenty taels of silver, one person has it is quite eye-catching, if twenty people have it, but there is nothing to see. If the family still wants to build a house or buy two acres of land or something, it will immediately become empty again. It's hard to find a daughter-in-law because of his age, and because he has no money, seven or eight out of ten veterans have beaten singles in their lives. Therefore, some veterans who returned to their hometowns heard that the singles who stayed in the north had houses and lands and married daughters-in-law, but they couldn't sit still. Three or two companions came all the way and half begging, and there were also those who had no land and no job, so they moved over with the support of a large family.

The current situation of the Northland government is very different from the situation when the imperial court moved the population! The government now has enough mineral taxes handed over by the Wang family, and half of the supply of the Wang family's fields, and the granary and finances are relatively rich. It is not difficult to subsidize the families who have migrated here with some food, seeds, farm tools, etc. The advantage of this is that those who migrated over eventually reclaimed a lot of land because there was no shortage everywhere, and the family's life had hope, and they could naturally settle down in a down-to-earth manner. I don't know how many times better than the effect of the court's tough migration at the beginning!

The vigorous development of the Northland is naturally known to those sitting in high positions, and of course the surrounding armies can also know it. So, more and more retired veterans want to stay here.

Laizi sent a letter to Xiaohu, told him about the retired veterans, and asked if there was any difficulty, and if there was, he would want to reject some veterans who had a home. And Xiaohu is just short of people here, how can he be embarrassed! Immediately, while replying to Laizi saying that he wanted it, he sent a message to Erya saying that those veterans and people who had temporarily passed from the north were enough, and there was no need to consider recruiting people in their hometown.

It's even better and saves a lot of money on the road. (To be continued.) )
