Chapter 281: A Million Mad Dogs Are Out of the Cage
As we all know, the so-called most awesome economic prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty is based on its bullshit statistical methods (if you don't understand, you can turn forward, I don't remember which chapter I wrote it in), but in fact, the polarization between the rich and the poor is very serious.
Those who are richer or a little poorer but can still make do with it are counted, those poor jingle bells, a pair of pants that the whole family wears when they go out, and if they want to do some farm work, they have to do it in the middle of the night when no one is around, so what should these people do?
In the past, the Great Song Dynasty government chose cold salad.
As the saying goes, there are only three generations of poverty, and after three generations, these poor ghosts will die, and then there will be a new batch of poor people, so no one cares about their life or death.
But the current Great Song Dynasty can no longer turn a blind eye to these poor ghosts, because the imperial court needs a lot of labor, and the demand is as large as one or two million is not too much, and one hundred and eighty thousand is too little.
Then the local officials and lords were faced with another problem.
In the past, he didn't treat these poor ghosts as human beings because the emperor himself didn't treat them as human beings. But now Zhao Huan, an alternative in the official family, treats these poor ghosts as human beings, and after the number of people who starve to death, the growth ratio of the local population, the average annual income and disposable income of the local people, and other messy indicators have become the evaluation standards for the performance of local officials, the life and death of these poor ghosts are particularly important.
In other words, finding a job for these poor ghosts that can earn money to support the family has become the top priority on the desk of the magistrates, because it involves whether the officials can be promoted in the future.
Then the magistrates felt that Qin would play the crazy infrastructure mode played in Fengshengzhou, Luanzhou, and Shuntianfu.
Although he doesn't need to build the Great Wall or build a new city in this broken place where he is an official, no matter how bad it is, he can still build roads, right?
Didn't the official family say that if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. As long as this road is repaired well, it will not only respond to the call of the officials, but also solve the livelihood of the people, which is simply the best of both worlds.
By the way, this road can be repaired and demolished, demolished and repaired, this money ......
Anyone who understands understands.
Anyway, the officials and masters in the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty are much stronger than those sand sculpture netizens in later generations, and they all understand it.
Then, in order to build the road as soon as possible, and to let the people have a few more small money in their hands as soon as possible, these local officials and lords rolled their eyes, and directly found the local rich gentry, saying that this road repair is a great thing that will benefit the present generation and benefit the future generations.
Asking the court for money? If the good believers are willing to donate some money, and when the road is repaired, we will set up another merit monument, and this merit monument will be engraved with the names of all the good believers......
Anyway, the official's words are left here, and I promise not to take a penny from it, sir.
And then these local squires who are not bad for money are moved-
Money is such a thing, how can it be spent not a flower? Anyway, it's usually indispensable to be beaten by the government, and for the sake of fame, I often build a bridge to make up a road or something, and now I have such a good opportunity, so it's not impossible, right?
As for the assurances of the officials, they were treated like farts by these village sages and gentry.
Can the broken mouth of the official be trusted?
People say that they don't take a penny, but they don't say that they don't take 100 yuan.
But in any case, the magistrate wants money, and the village gentry want fame, and when the two touch like this, it is quite a bit like dry firewood meets fire, and pheasants meet hooligans.
Then the officials and lords in these places waved their pens and submitted their own state and county to the court to build the road, and said that the road was built in response to the call of the official family and for the well-being of the people, so there was no need for the court to allocate money. Of course, you can't chill the hearts of the donors, so it should be okay to go back and erect a monument or something, right?
Then, Gao Zi'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhuang Chengyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, laughed.
The Ministry of Engineering is in charge of all the repairs and repairs of bridges and roads in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Ministry of Household is in charge of the money bags of the Great Song Dynasty. Large-scale road construction can really give the Ministry of Industry a headache and a distress to the household.
Okay now, just ask for a name in the place? Then do it, don't pay for the user department and don't worry about the ministry, this is the real hello, hello, hello, everyone.
Then the officials and lords in these places started the crazy road building mode.
Then, the officials and men in these places found that this road was not so easy to build-
Even if you go to a place with a lot of mountains, water and swamps, and build this road, you will really die.
The death of people means that there will be abnormal fluctuations in the mortality rate of local Dingkou, and it also means that the growth rate of local Dingkou will fluctuate abnormally.
So this person kind of can't afford to die.
Then, after frantically digging a lot of hair, the officials came to a conclusion.
Those who do not have a household registration in the Great Song Dynasty are not counted as people.
In other words, the people of the Great Song Dynasty can't afford to die, but how many barbarians can't afford to die?
Then, these officials and old men crossed the sea with eight immortals, each showing their magical powers.
If you have an acquaintance with Qin Huiwan, you will write directly to Qin Huiwan, and try your best to beg Qin Huiwan to send some barbarians over, and the price is negotiable.
If you don't have this way, you will find a way to find someone to buy labor.
Then, the people of the Great Song Dynasty were particularly unexpected, and they were boiling.
As we all know, the Great Song Dynasty is so weak, but the martial arts of the people have always been abundant. "Gangster Tales by the Swamp" has described it all very well.
In addition to these heroes in the green forest, the Great Song Dynasty also has various associations such as boxing clubs, horse clubs, armor clubs, and bow clubs, which can also pull up a large number of killers who dare to fight and kill at any time.
Now no one dares to do the matter of killing officials and rebelling, but after hearing that barbarian laborers can sell for money, and there is a Zhujia Zhuangzi who made a fortune by selling laborers outside Bianjing City, these killers suddenly became excited.
Even if a laborer is calculated according to the official price of five yuan, as long as he catches a hundred barbarians and comes back, it is five hundred yuan. Even if you catch too much and can't sell it, the value that this barbarian worker can create far exceeds the cost!
Swords, this thing can be made by any workshop that knows how to strike iron. Bows and arrows, this thing is not found anywhere else, but it is not available in the bow club, is it? War horses, this thing is really not easy to get, but who stipulates that the arrest of laborers must be ridden? Riding a mule won't work?
Life?
Just stepping on a horse is the least valuable!
Then many people like Niu Er generally don't want to work but want to make money Qingpi broken people go out with friends, these killers are not only equipped with a variety of equipment, even the vehicles are also varied, some ride horses, some ride mules, and some are poor to simply buy donkeys or even steal donkeys directly.
The goals of these people are very consistent:
Catch laborers and earn money.
