Chapter 0268 County Order
Ya Po, who thought she could get a reward, knew that she was being used by two girls, so she hurriedly made amends and took the two away.
But now I can't help her.
Wu Limei asked her to take Yapo down to drink tea, and the two girls stayed.
shouted: "Come on, take the two of them to watch the execution." ”
The so-called watching punishment is to watch the subordinates being beaten.
The person who was beaten betrayed Wu Yinwei's situation to outsiders, and as a result, people pretended to be Wu Yinwei to deceive.
Wu Limei ordered Liu's mother to investigate all the subordinates, gather the people who betrayed the master's son in the courtyard where the subordinates lived, first hit 20 boards per person, and then deal with them separately depending on the severity of the situation.
The faces of the two girls changed greatly, and the Ge family did not follow the routine they designed, and were dragged to the place of execution in a daze.
They originally thought that the Ge family would definitely be anxious to know about Wu Yinwei, so they first tried to let the Ge family keep them, and then said what they had made up, but who knew that the Ge family didn't even ask, and the two of them were stunned all of a sudden, and they didn't know how to deal with it.
Before they arrived at the place of execution, they had heard crying and begging for mercy from a distance, and the sound of the board crackling, and the two girls had weak legs, and the bolder one shouted that they were not the Wu family now, and the Ge family had no right to deal with them.
The mother-in-law who dragged the two girls away, just walked forward, not stubble, the two cried and shrank back, the mother-in-law was impatient, so she simply ripped off the belts of the two of them, tied their mouths, and carried them into the courtyard of the execution.
The Ge family treats their subordinates generously and rarely moves the board, but this time they are really angry.
is to hit the board, and the mouth of the beaten person is plugged during the execution, so as not to alarm the master, Wu Limei specially ordered to try to beat the people to shout, just to scare the two girls.
What the bold girl said was right, although the two of them used to be slaves and maids of the Wu family, but now that they are sold, the Ge family is no matter how in-laws the Wu family is, and they can't be punished casually. Wu Limei also thought of this, and came to this trick first to see if she could scare them.
looked at the battered and bloody buttocks. The two little girls who have followed Wu Yinwei since they were children and have never suffered can no longer stand the fright and faint.
The mother-in-law splashed the two girls with cold water and pulled their hair. forced the two of them to watch the whole process of the execution, and then dragged them back to Wu Limei, who was already scared.
Wu Limei asked coldly, "Do you two have anything to say?" ”
The little girl still has any intention to design a trap and explain the matter clearly through 1510.
As Ge Kaiwu guessed, on the way to the capital, Su Qian repeated the old words, saying that when she entered the capital, she begged her second sister-in-law to find a good family for Wu Yinwei, but Wu Yinwei refused.
Su Qian said angrily, this is not up to you, we used to stay in the village, and this matter can only be talked about. In the future, we will live in the capital, so we will naturally live in the way of the capital.
Wu Yinwei was silent.
The Wu family stayed in an inn at night, Wu Yinwei took advantage of the fact that everyone was asleep in the middle of the night, secretly got up to pack up her things and prepared to leave, and accidentally made a movement to wake up the two girls, afraid that the girl would tell her to tell the truth, she had to take the girl to leave together, and told the girl to come to the third aunt.
The three of them came in the direction of Whitewater Town, encountered a wave of refugees, and were entangled and robbed.
There are traffickers who take advantage of the chaos to take a fancy to them. felt that the two little girls were easier to get close, so I started from the little girl.
Usually Wu Yinwei likes to act alone, but the girl she is matched with is nothing, and the three of them were hungry at that time. After some provocation by the traffickers, the girl felt that Wu Yinwei would leave them as usual, so she simply made the first move, and the two partnered to sell Li Yinwei.
Who knew that Wu Yinwei was already on guard when the traffickers approached, and when she saw that the two girls looked wrong, she secretly avoided them first.
The traffickers coaxed the two little girls. turned around and lost Wu Yinwei's figure, and in a fit of anger, she forcibly abducted the two little girls and resold them a few times, and the two little girls finally fell into the hands of the current tooth woman.
The two little girls were sold into the Wu family since they were children, they never suffered hardships, and they rarely went out, they grew up pampered, where did they know the complexity of the outside world, falling into the hands of human traffickers, being beaten and scolded is a common thing, it is really better to live than to die.
On that day, a rich man wanted to buy someone, and he found Ya Po, who took a group of people to the rich man's house.
On the way, the two little girls saw Wu Yinwei's portrait and didn't say anything, wanting to try their luck to see if they could be bought by the rich and go back to their original young lady-like days.
Who knew that the family chose a rough girl, and the two of her were unwilling to do it, and people didn't look at her as if they could do rough work, so they didn't ask.
If they didn't sell it, Ya Po had to waste money and food to feed them, and the two of them also knew that they would be punished when they went back, so they didn't want to live like this anymore, thinking about getting rid of Ya Po first and then finding a way.
When passing by the portrait again, the two little girls said that they could earn a reward for the person in the portrait if they recognized the person in the portrait.
Ya Po was afraid of fraud, so she asked the two to tell the whereabouts of the person in the painting first, and the two said that the Ge family hated people the most, and the two of them were the slaves and maids of the Ge family's in-laws, and the whereabouts of the people in the portrait were told by Ya Po, Ya Po would not only not be able to get the silver, but also suffer.
They said that this kind of situation, Ya Po also encountered, so I believed half of it, I really wanted to get a rich reward, Ya Po thought that it would not hurt to give it a try, it would be better to get the reward, if you can't get it, there will be no loss anyway.
Wu Limei asked Ya Po and the little girl to testify against each other, confirming that the little girl was not lying.
asked the little girl where she was taken away, but the two couldn't tell clearly.
The two of them had never traveled far from home, and they were ignorant, which was understandable.
Ge Tianyu gave Ya Po a reward and asked her to take her to find the Ya Po who sold her girl, according to this method, one by one, looking upside down, and finally caught the trafficker and forced the trafficker to confess the place where the little girl was deceived.
The refugees have been resettled, and there is no one in that place.
visited nearby villages and towns, searched the surrounding wilderness, but found no one, and Wu Yinwei was nowhere to be found.
Ge Tianyu handed over the trafficker and the two girls to the government, saying that the little girls were the fugitive slaves of General Wu's family, and the two little girls were executed.
After the heavy rains, the victims slowly began to return to their original places, and the money and food donated by the imperial court were also transported to the disaster area.
In places where refugees gathered, money and food were also allocated after verification by the imperial court.
The imperial court also invented that Liangping Town and several surrounding towns were no longer suitable for habitation because the terrain was too low, and the victims from these places were resettled in the nearest places of refuge.
If the concentration of refugees is too dense, some places that have been moved to sparsely populated areas, those land without owners, according to the situation, are proportionate. Either sell or rent, be sure to make sure that the victims live in peace.
Villages and towns are set up according to the size of the population, and no taxes are paid for three years. There is no need to serve forced labor, and the children of the victims will go to school, whether they are government-run schools or private schools, and the restrictions will be halved within three years.
In the area around Gejiazhuang, the most densely populated place is Gejiazhuang. With Gejiazhuang as the center, the farther away, the smaller the population.
On the road from Baishui Town to Gejiazhuang, some houses and households have been added in the past two years, but they are only limited to the roadside.
Stretching far on both sides of the road, the wasteland is basically ownerless, which is in line with the conditions for resettlement of the victims to set up villages and towns.
As a land-sitting household, the Ge family helped the government to resettle the victims, and it was incumbent on them to donate money, materials, medicine, and medicine, and it was inevitable that when a letter of appointment was delivered to the Ge family. The family was in disbelief.
It was Xia Chengxiang, the county magistrate of Yuncheng County, who came to deliver the letter of appointment, which was even more incredible.
With the great god Ge Zhongsi in front of him, Xia Chengxiang didn't dare to hold it up, he was very respectful to Ge Zhongsi, and he was also very polite to the Ge family.
Although Ge Zhongsi has retired, he still has connections for many years, if he provokes the dissatisfaction of the old man, a word from others can make his small county magistrate's position unsecure.
Xia Chengxiang was able to come to this remote village in person, and it was also carefully investigated.
Listen to Xia Chengxiang read out the letter of appointment. Ge Tianyu reported truthfully: "My lord, I don't dare to hide it, I am a person who was rejected by my father on his deathbed, and I am not qualified to be the mayor of the town." When I moved here, I had a record in Whitewater Town. ”
"Humph!" Ge Zhongsi had a cold face.
Thinking of the evil things that his eldest brother did before he died, Ge Zhongsi was angry.
Xia Chengxiang said: "I have read your family's files, and I have verified that you were rejected by your father before his death, and it was your father's unkindness. I have reported to the provincial government that the rejection of the letter will be invalidated, and you have a meritorious name and are qualified to hold an official position. ”
Those present were shocked on the spot,
Ge Zhongsi knew that the county order must have a purpose in doing this, and he did not tell the truth.
Liangping Town is still a vast ocean, and the documents stored back then have been flooded, that is, those who know the events of the year, how many people escaped the flood and survived are not known, and those who survive may not necessarily come to Yuncheng County, and the probability of verifying the situation is very low.
Ge Zhongsi was very polite: "Take the approval of the provincial government." ”
The mayor of the resettlement area is a thankless errand, and the resettlement is good, it is the credit of the county order, and it is the mayor of the resettlement area who is punished, and Ge Zhongsi is afraid that the Xia county order will coax Ge Tianyu.
Don't settle it down at that time, leaving Ge Tianyu aside is still a trivial matter, if the county order uses the excuse of abandoning the book to punish Ge Tianyu for the crime of concealing the truth, it will be a big injustice.
Xia Chengxiang didn't expect Ge Zhongsi to be so serious, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to show his voice.
He came in person this time, and he really asked the Ge family.
I had to endure my anger and said: "I have already reported, and the approval will arrive soon." ”
Ge Zhongsi had a cold face: "Then wait for the approval to come down, adults have to take care of their own things." ”
This is the eviction order.
Xia Chengxiang froze.
He really has something, but what he wants to do is related to the Ge family, and if he wants to be busy, he has to cooperate with the Ge family to be busy.
A few years earlier, the imperial court issued a document to develop local characteristics and increase the revenue of the treasury, and other places have found out their characteristics.
It is said that the neighboring Tianyang County, due to the reason of water and soil, is rich in a kind of chili pepper, which is red and tender and bright, and the taste is spicy and sweet, whether it is used as a main dish or a side dish, it can produce a good dish.
Another example is Xianyin County, another neighboring county, where the velvet fiber of cotton is longer than that of other places, and the woven cloth is better than that of other places, with good toughness and softness, and high prices.
Every autumn and winter, the neighboring counties have handed over so much money that it makes people blush, and the county orders of the neighboring counties have been promoted for two consecutive terms.
Most of the mountains in Yuncheng County are hills, but the mountains are not high, only some low miscellaneous trees grow, which are small and not mature.
Moreover, due to the barrenness of the land, many people have moved out in recent years, and the population has become smaller and smaller, and the pitiful arable land has gradually become wasteland.
Before Ge Tianyu moved here, Xia Chengxiang served here as a county magistrate, Ge Tianyu came here for five years, Xia Chengxiang has served two terms as a county magistrate, because he did not find a local characteristic industry, the income handed over is getting smaller and smaller year by year, not only is there no hope for promotion, but also the official position may not be guaranteed.
What's even more unfortunate is that the refugees are like demons, not to run to rich places, but to Yuncheng County, a ghost place, and the court issued a document to resettle on the spot, and Yuncheng County is the most suitable for resettlement.
The money and food allocated by the imperial court are only a drop in the bucket, and where is enough to settle the refugees, he has to find a way to solve it himself.
The stock in the county treasury is already stretched, where can there be so much money and food.
If you want to set up a new village or town, you must first choose a good address, and after investigation, Xia Chengxiang found that the best place in this county, a blessed land with many wastelands and few mountains and tombs, was actually bought by the Ge family, an outsider.
In recent years, the Gejia family has become more and more prosperous, and around Gejiazhuang, there are more and more people, more and more arable land, and there is a trend of more and more development.
It's no wonder that Xia Chengxiang has been stagnant for many years, his brain is indeed not flexible.
The term blessed land was artificially created by Ge Kailin and Xu Xinyu, and it has become famous, and even people from other provinces have heard about it.
Xia Chengxiang led people to investigate Gejiazhuang and found that Gejiazhuang's industries were all originally not available in this county.
There are garment shops in this county, but there is no garment workshop, and the clothes sold by the garment shops are purchased from other places, and the patterns are poor, and they cannot be compared with the garment workshops in Gejiazhuang.
There are grain shops in this county, but there are not as many varieties of grain as Gejia grain shops, and Gejia grain shops have a lot of grain, which has not been seen in this county before.
There are restaurants in this county, most of them can only be imported, and the taste and pattern are not half a star worse than Gejia Hotel.
There are very few families who raise sheep in this county, and no one has ever thought about raising sheep for mutton, and weaving sheep thread clothes.
There is no cement field in this county, and the Ge family not only has a cement field, but the cement statue of zuò is much more exquisite than that of other places.
Although most of the county is mountainous, it does not produce fungus, Gejia Mountain not only produces fungus, I heard that it is picked very frequently.
There are many kinds of things in Gejiazhuang that the county does not have, and any one can be used as a characteristic of the county, which can increase the income of the county treasury and bring benefits to his official position.
Xia Chengxiang originally wanted to use his authority to directly make the Ge family contribute an industry, but it was the county Cheng who reminded him that it would be better to check the Ge family's background first.
Originally, Xia Chengxiang didn't think much of the words of the county Cheng, who knew that this investigation, the Ge family was really not something he could afford to provoke casually.
Not only is General Wu in the capital the elder brother of Mrs. Ge, just the cold-faced old man sitting in front of him, he can't afford to provoke him, but he also heard that there is also a young man with a mysterious identity, who is cold-faced and ruthless, and only has a close relationship with the Ge family, and no one else cares about it.
After thinking about it, Xia Chengxiang came up with an idea: to resettle the victims around Gejiazhuang, change Gejiazhuang to Gejia Town, and appoint Ge Tianyu as the mayor. (To be continued.) )
