Chapter 119
Listening to Xu Hui's words, Chu Heng chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Xu Ze wrote to him about the recruitment of the displaced people a month ago, and Xu Hui wrote a few days ago to emphasize it again. The difference is that Xu Ze only asked him to recruit 2,000 people, but Xu Hui ordered him to recruit young and middle-aged people to fight in the whole county, including the neighboring villages. If there are too many people who have joined the army, priority should be given to the displaced people, and the number should be controlled as much as possible in the state of eight displaced people and two local residents; if the number is not even, they should be forcibly recruited from among the displaced people, and the basic number of 3,000 must be gathered, and if it can reach 4,000 or even 5,000, it will be better.
Her order, the number given by Xu Ze was almost doubled, Chu Heng took the two letters, and thought of the various preferential treatment Xu Ze gave to Xu Hui, guessing that even if he sent someone to ask in the eldest son county, what he got would be to follow the instructions of Xu Hui's order, and he would not do such an act that would offend her to death, so he became more and more troubled.
The so-called young and strong generally refers to the man who has a weak crown and is in the age of standing, and most of the officials have tacit understanding to relax this range by four years and six years up, that is, men from sixteen to thirty-six are counted among the young and strong. If you are really forced by the war, no one will die in front of you, or the commander will be black-hearted, and even the half-grown children who are less than thirteen and the old people who are over half a hundred years old will have to be forcibly put on top.
Xiangyuan is a big county, ten years ago the number of households in the county broke five, and the population was more than 20,000, after ten years of recuperation, it had to be more than 30,000. Although it is more troublesome to forcibly requisition three or four thousand young men in Xiangyuan, it is not that it is not untidy. What's more, in the past ten years, natural disasters in the north have been repeated, and people's livelihood has withered, and a large number of displaced people have gone to the more stable Taiyuan, Shangdang, and even several states further east, as well as the south. Although many homeless people envy the prosperity of Qingxu and Jiangnan and run there with all their might, there are also many homeless people who are afraid of the harsh government that is fiercer than the tiger, and would rather defect to Xu Ze, who has a good reputation, and stay in the party, rather than move another step.
As a result, the number of displaced people in the party, especially in the outermost counties, is really frightening. Xiangyuan alone has received nearly 10,000 displaced households, with a population of about 40,000 or 50,000, and these people have been scattered and concentrated outside Xiangyuan County, diligently cultivating wasteland, even if it is not possible to strictly regulate according to households, men are allocated 70 acres of land, women are allocated 30 acres of land, and even less than half of this number, at most only 30 percent, and half or even 60% of the harvest has to be handed over to the government. But there are very few harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as much as you say, never indiscriminately levy labor, and other ways to collect taxes, it seems that there is not much, all of them are calculated, and they can force you to ruin the county and county, which is no different from the paradise of the world. It was because Xu Hui never thought that in a county with a population of nearly 70,000 or 80,000, he would not be able to recruit 3,000 or 4,000 people, but ...... "1,600 people? ā
Seeing that Xu Hui's action of putting down the military book in his hand was a little heavy, people like Ah Yuan and Ah Shuang, who were familiar with Xu Hui, naturally knew that she was a little unhappy. Sure enough, Xu Hui's next sentence was: "Excluding women, the old and the weak, and children, the number of young and strong people is about one and a half to two and a half." What's more, most of the homeless people who can trek through mountains and rivers and come to our party are men with one or two strengths, and this number has to be turned up. Grandfather's requisition order has also been issued for more than a month, but you tell me that you can't even get together 2,000 people? ā
In the end, Xu Hui's expression was a little sharper, and there was some rebuke.
Even if Xu Hui said this, Chu Heng still accompanied the smiling face, rubbing his hands, and there was some humility in his words: "This group of homeless people is unruly and untamable, and they have never regarded our party as their own home, and the number of partial students is very large, I'm not afraid...... If all the young people in the county will be recruited, how can this empty county seat be reassuring? ā
The relocation of the land is the nature of the people; Flesh and blood are attached, and people are willing. In the eyes of the people of the time, attachment to hometown is the same as flesh and blood, born with it, and it cannot be parted. If you can't live, no one wants to leave their hometown, even if they stay in a strange place for too long, several generations have taken root, and the older generation still misses their hometown. Therefore, Chu Heng said that the homeless people are not easy to control, and Xu Hui believes it; said that if all the young people in the county are gone, it will be difficult to explain if there is a case, and Xu Hui will also believe it. But Chu Heng's sleek method of "what I said is true, but I didn't say it" can hide it from others, but he can't hide it from Xu Hui. She knew in her heart that no matter how difficult and difficult Chu Heng said, or how colorful it was, she had only one intention - she didn't want to take responsibility.
To be precise, they would rather take on the name of "doing things unfavorably" than really do something that will arouse public anger if the means are not used well. After all, the former will frustrate his career at most, and the official master can still do it steadily, and the latter ...... If you do it well, it will naturally soar upward, and if you don't do it well, it will be stinking for 10,000 years, and it is not uncommon for you to die. Throughout the ages, rushing to the front line to reform, success is success, but there are too many examples of being abandoned by the monarch for the sake of the common people, and it is difficult to list them all.
In this world, there are people who gamble heavily and are willing to spend their lives to win a future, and naturally there are also people who want to be stable and do not seek merit but no fault. In terms of the appointment and dismissal of officials, Xu Ze likes to use the latter very much, after all, in the few peaceful days, he seeks slow and stable development, moisturizing and changing his territory in a long stream, basically in the spirit of not seeking merit but seeking no fault. Xu Hui also knows that in such an era of contradictions, as long as the war does not break out, he cannot rush forward and toss himself away. It's just that in her heart, she is still holding back a cloud of depression, because she understands that if it is not her who sits in this "general" position today, but her father Xu Yun, or her third uncle Xu Pan, Chu Heng would not dare to do it so obviously!
No wonder Grandfather smiled nonchalantly when she was confident and assured, saying that she still had a lot to learn. She didn't understand at first, she directly thought of how smart and cunning her opponent was, and how resourceful she was, but she didn't expect Xu Ze to refer to this!
Even if it is an elite, if it has been entangled by miscellaneous soldiers for a long time, something will happen. Nie County must mobilize the whole county, and it is true to recruit miscellaneous soldiers and farmers, but this Xiangyuan County must also take less than 3,000 people to supplement, otherwise how will this battle be fought?
Thinking of this, Xu Hui let out a long breath, word by word, and bit hard: "It seems that you have to delay here for a day...... Chu County Order, you immediately order the government to post a notice, if there are young and strong people who voluntarily join the army, the people of this county will be rewarded with five acres of land, and the displaced people will be rewarded with two acres of land. Within one day, I will be able to fill the gap of 2,400 people! If it really can't be done......" Xu Hui looked at Chu Heng, obviously there was a smile at the corner of his eyes, but it made people gasp, "I'm going to be ruthless and forcibly recruit from the homeless!" ā
Hearing Xu Hui's decision, Chu Heng couldn't help but gasp.
Xu Ze made clear regulations on the taxes of the people in Shangdang County, if it was his own land and his own cattle, he would need to pay forty percent of the harvest as a tax every year; If you rent the cattle of the government, you have to add 10% as the rental fee; If even the land is lent to you by the government, you have to add another 10% tax, and invisibly, 369 and so on will be demarcated.
There are a few homeless people with spare money in their hands, so they naturally want to buy land and real estate, but Xu Ze has already ordered that outsiders who have not lived in our party for 30 years want to buy land? Dream! Which official dares to open such a convenient door, and if he is discovered, he will wait for the whole family to be relegated to work as coolies in the coal kiln! With his hard-line attitude, high-pressure policies, and secretly patrolling his cronies from time to time, no one dared to do such a thing when he found out that he would not be merciful, and even his companions had gone into the mine and coal kiln for this reason.
That's right, Xu Hui was in a hurry, and she really couldn't help Chu Heng's shrinking tactics, so she had to take on the responsibility of conscription, but this didn't mean that she would definitely follow Chu Heng's heart and be this villain. Don't forget, what is her greatest resource? It is the family that is located at the apex of the party, and it is the power in the hands!
Chu Heng can't recruit enough people, it's just that he doesn't have enough interests at hand, even if he has a plan of tens of millions, in order to seek stability, he can only rely on the government's regulations to attract people by investing in the army, but Xu Hui is different. She dared to directly divide nearly 10,000 acres of wasteland out and hand it over to the people for reclamation, even if Xu Ze knew about it, and if she contacted the scene at that time, it would be a reprimand at most, after all, the military situation was like fire, and it was Chu Heng and not Xu Hui who delayed it, Xu Hui just wanted to find a way to solve this matter in the fastest and best way. What's more, the land she rewarded to the people who joined the army must be near Xiangyuan, and the last headache is not Chu Heng himself?
Chu Heng is not a fool, after thinking about it a little, he can detect Xu Hui's intentions, which is mixed with five flavors in his heart. On the one hand, he sighed that he was really terrible, and on the other hand, he was envious and jealous of Xu Hui's power, and he also brought some feelings that his son was not as bold as Xu Hui's girl, and after talking to her about some details, he got up and said goodbye, and ordered the scribe to write an official document.
Seeing that Chu Heng was gone, Xu Hui sighed lightly and rubbed his temples. After a while, Fang cheered up and ordered: "Gather the generals and staff, I have an urgent military situation to discuss with them." ā
After marching for more than ten days, Ah Yuan and the others also understood Xu Hui's style in the army - different from the usual modesty and prudence, in the army, in addition to discussing the military situation and deploying combat readiness, she allowed others to put forward opinions, and when the situation was critical, in order to check and fill in the gaps, others could follow the power. At other times, they all say the same thing, and no one is allowed to disobey it, and whoever has something to say, first go and get twenty boards and then come to see if she listens. Knowing that it was getting late, the generals and staff might have fallen asleep, but they still didn't dare to persuade Xu Hui, but they were too busy to give orders. (To be continued.) )
