Chapter 219: Undercurrent
readx;
How cumbersome the civil affairs of the first government are, Liu Yu, as the chief official, will never care, all this is naturally pressed on the shoulders of Hu Youhuang, and the biggest thing at the moment is not to arrange the upcoming spring ploughing, nor to settle the displaced people from Jinghu Lake, but how to persuade more people to go on the road. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
It is a fact that Jinghu is not guaranteed, and the Yuan people go down the Xiangshui River, and the first thing to bear the brunt is Jingjiang Mansion, but the Qingye here has just begun, and less than one percent of the people in the whole mansion have embarked on the road to the south, so how can he not be in a hurry.
Of course, there are obstructions from the officials and gentry, but the key is that the swords have never been approached, and they can't feel that urgency, coupled with the previous victory in Yongzhou, the people feel that the Yuan people are just like this, and such a negative effect is something that no one including Liu Yu thought of at the beginning.
No matter how difficult things are, I have to do it, helplessly, who made him a general judgment in the government, and put on a chief official who doesn't care about anything, but after experiencing the war in Hengshanzhai, he almost died and survived, he understands better than anyone that once the Yuan people come in, what kind of situation will it be, after the initial wall and setbacks, he has also become more pragmatic, the squire can not persuade the middle and lower households, and the big households can not be persuaded to persuade the customers, and the biggest breakthrough is the newly increased military households and martyrs.
A village located outside Lingchuan County has become the place where he runs the most, almost all the land here is in the hands of a large family, and the rest of the village except for a few small households, basically all of them are customers who rent seeds for him, and most of them are surnamed Cen, these people who were originally forced to live by heavy taxes suddenly changed their identities. The government not only exempted them from miscellaneous taxes, but also really as the chief said that day, all the taxes that had been paid back were returned, with this money, they not only paid off the arrears, but also a slight surplus, so that the urgency to go out to work is not so strong, which is also when Liu Yu issued this system, it was unexpected.
"Your Excellency is here, please please hurry up."
In any case, it is impossible to see that kind of official in a government, not only did they help to get back those taxes, but they also removed the magistrate in Lingchuan County, and even the big households in the village were warned.
However, gratitude is gratitude, when it comes to the future prospects of the family, no one dares to agree to anything easily, as long as you look at the people who came from Jinghu, unkempt and skinny, you know that fleeing is not a fun thing, and if you are not careful, you will die.
Hu Youhuang was not in a hurry, smiled and gave them one by one, in order not to increase the burden of others, he specially selected to come over after lunch, only need to sit in the courtyard made of earthen fences, and there is a scoop of well water.
Taking the gourd handed by the old man of the Cen family, he put it to his mouth without hesitation, people who have experienced months of siege and so on, they don't care about anything clean and tidy for a long time.
"Well, good water, clear and sweet, old man, your well is really good." Galloping all the way from Fucheng, Rao is winter is also tired and sweating, and any water in his mouth is almost the same as he described, but it is not polite.
"But no, it's still his baby's grandfather's generation, a big family escaped from the north, and three stops fell in ten stops, and when they settled here, they all relied on the nearby mountains and rivers, and they could rent some fields to plant, pick some wild fruits in the mountains, catch some prey, and catch some fish and shrimp in the river, so as to survive to this day."
Who said that the common people have no wisdom, and the old man who has lived for most of his life has the same meaning in and out of his words, and how can he say the following words when he leaves his hometown?
"Old man, why did you come here in the first place?" Hu Youhuang remained silent, as if he was just curious.
"What else can there be, the war is chaotic, the Jin people are dead, and the Yuan people are replaced, from Xiangyang Mansion to Ezhou, I have no choice but to escape all the way, and finally find a place to live here......" The old man reacted as he spoke, and when he stopped talking, he found that the other party was holding the gourd, and he didn't look at it at all.
Hu Youhuang's voice seemed to float down from the sky: "I remember when I was in Hengshanzhai, the six boys of your family often said that although the family was not very wealthy before, it was still passable, if it weren't for the taxes increased every year and the rent tightened, the family would never send him to join the army. ā
The old man didn't know why he suddenly mentioned Xiaoliu, the year was not good in those years, but the rent was a lot, so there was no way, and the sixth son, who was already almost half the size of the young man, was sent to the army, saving a mouth, but also in exchange for a lot of settling-in expenses, plus the annual salary, even if there was no later incident, that child was not indebted to them, but thinking about it like this, why was his heart so panicked? In a trance, he couldn't even remember what the child looked like.
"If one day, there is a change of owner here, and the Yuan people come, and they have to pay rent and taxes, maybe it will be less than the Great Song Dynasty, where do the big families not bully the tenants? Where can the government be the master of the people? That's probably what you all think, but if that's the case, why did you run away at the time? ā
Of course it was different, otherwise why run away at that time? How can the old people say the reason behind this, they have witnessed villages turn to ashes, and the massacres can frighten the people, but more people have fled their homes, who can guarantee that such a thing will not happen again?
How are the people of Jinghu different from them? The old man sat there silently, but in his heart he thought carefully about his words, some of which were clear and some of which he had to comprehend himself.
How did the good times come about? Why did the government want to return the grain that had been collected, it was not because there were dead people in the family, why did they die, it was desperate with the Yuan people, if the Yuan people were replaced, they would still admit this? Don't say anything about the martyrs of the military households, it's good if you don't pursue it, how can you have a good life.
Thinking of this, his body suddenly shuddered, in order to fight, he almost shouted a counter-word, Da Song is gone, will those big families spare these people? The old man's eyes unintentionally swept over the little granddaughter who didn't know where to carry a basket of forage, and at the age of less than ten years, she almost let people snatch it.
"Where's your father?"
The little girl was a little scared, and when she saw that there was one more person in the courtyard, she lowered her head, pulled the corners of her clothes with both hands, and her voice was so small that she couldn't hear it clearly: "My father...... I went to the house at the head of the village and said it was ...... Negotiate a lease for next year. ā
The old man nodded to indicate that he understood, stood up and arched his hand to him apologetically: "Your Excellency has come this time, the little old man has not been well entertained, and he has been neglected, and he hopes to forgive his sins." ā
Hu Youhuang understood what the other party meant, not to send off the guests without speculation, but to want a space to discuss with his family, he waved his hand indifferently, and walked out of the courtyard of the Cen family with his entourage, and before he got to the dirt road leading to the county seat, he saw a few figures coming quickly towards here.
"Isn't that Cen Er?" The entourage recognized the man in charge at a glance, who was the one who had a relationship with him at the entrance of the village before, and was also the father of the old man, the father of the little girl.
However, the faces of those people were not very good, and they didn't notice this end at all, and they shouted through the fence, making it difficult for them not to hear it.
"Dad, the main family said that it will not be rented to our family next year, not only our family, but all the people who participated that day will not be allowed to rent, that is, they will not participate, and those who are designated as military households by the government will not be successful, what can I do?"
The sky was high and the clouds were faint, and the voice spread far away, Hu Youhuang listened carefully for a while, didn't know what to think of, shook his head, stepped on his mount, and greeted a few entourage: "Let's go." And then he was gone.
Everything here has been completed, he has other places to run, Jingjiang Mansion can govern eight counties.
Just when he was running around and tired, there was an undercurrent surging in Jingjiang City, the kind of work under the table, whether it was Ma Ji or Jiang Cai, they would not pay attention to it, the only thing they cared about was the development of the war, the Yuan people's attack on Tanzhou was increasing every day, they were paying close attention to the movements of the Yuan people, and at the same time, they were also taking a part of the friendly troops in the city, and the kind of thinking that wanted to help but couldn't help could only do it and watch, so that the two of them became silent a lot.
Only Li Shiyi was indifferent to this, his eyes were always on the movements of those people in the city, what these people were doing, he could guess a thing or two, but they were so blatant and unabashed, it was a little interesting.
News was sent to Fu Si in a steady stream, and their every move, where they went, who they met, and how long they stayed were all lined up on his desk, and even the people who had been separated from the Criminal Division had not left the city, and their whereabouts were reported.
"Seventeen?"
"Yes, fifteen on the bright side, divided into five batches, and secretly there are two more, turned into the people's costumes in the east gate and the south gate out of the city, depending on the situation, they are planning to detour to Guangdong, and the subordinates are keeping an eye on it, how to behave, as soon as you have your instructions, you can start at any time."
"It's kind of interesting, you say, which one will they choose?" Li Shiyi's hand swirled on more than a dozen pieces of news, and his tone seemed very casual.
"According to the subordinates, no matter what their idea is, every road will be blocked, and it won't cost much manpower."
Li Shiyi smiled and shook his head, making his subordinates a little puzzled.
"Keep an eye on it, send the news to Qiongzhou, we are just a knife, when to cut it down, it is up to the master to decide."
