"What! Want to build a river embankment? Obediently, how much labor will be levied this time! ”

"Yes! It's over, as soon as the new county order comes up, it will be necessary to mobilize the people, work the people and build the river embankment! ”

"It's hard for us ordinary people, what's the good thing to repair the two rivers, and the water will be issued every spring, what's the use of tinkering?"

"That's right, that wasteland, let it flood if it's flooded......"

As soon as they heard that the river embankment was going to be repaired, the scalps of the people who watched the excitement were numb.

His face was bitter and he was in a bad mood.

You must know that whenever there is a big move in the imperial court to levy labor, most of the people have to go to coolies.

Moreover, such labor is not only free, but also has to replace its own dry food.

Each household is required to serve a certain number of days of hard labor each year.

This is prescribed by the law, and if you don't go, you will be dealt with according to the law.

The light penalty is money and food, and the heavy one is beaten and locked up.

Originally, after the autumn harvest, there were two ways of general labor.

The first is to fight a war, which requires people to transport supplies.

The second is to repair the city.

It is impossible to repair the city every year, and if you fight, the war with the Turks will end early.

I can't be a man anymore.

So this year is a good year, and you can serve less.

As a result, now Nancheng County is newly established, and it is a great achievement to come up.

The people naturally took it for granted, and then complained bitterly.

"Ahem, don't make a fuss." The catcher who read the proclamation coughed and said:

"Listen, the construction of reservoirs and river embankments is not compulsory labor, but voluntary travel, the county decree has a law, all those who go voluntarily will be in charge of food and housing, only five to six hours a day, ten acres of land can be obtained after one month, twenty acres of land can be obtained in February, and fifty acres of land can be obtained after three months! After four months of drying, you will get 100 acres of land! ”

Silk!

There was a sudden silence all around.

Everyone's eyes widened, staring straight at the catcher.

This catch is fast, but the guards of Xiaoyao Mansion have spoken, and they have already seen the wind and rain.

Laughing and groaning, he continued:

"There is also a law in the county order, and those who know how to carpenter, mason, and blacksmith can also get money, food, and housing subsidies that match their abilities!"

"What? And money, food, housing subsidies? ”

The crowd screamed.

I can't believe it.

"Go voluntarily, not for forced labor! Is there such a good thing as this? ”

"The Sixth Highness is benevolent and righteous, and only the Sixth Highness has such arrogance, willing to pity the poor people like me!"

"I have no hope of subsidizing or anything, even Tian I am not calling, the main reason is that His Highness is willing to eat and live, just rush His Highness, I Ye Er did it with him!"

"That's right, we're not afraid of work, we're not afraid of hardship, as long as I'm full, I'm going to Niu Hanhan!"

"I'll go! I'll go too, count me in! ”

Soon, many people patted their chests and expressed their willingness to repair the reservoir and river embankment.

Without it, it's affordable!

In the winter, there is no work to do, stay at home and be idle, and a strong laborer has to eat I don't know how much grain I have.

If you can save this ration, you will earn it.

The county has food and shelter, and one has been working for five to six hours, and it is not a harsh person.

Therefore, as long as the brain is not stupid to death, the mind of the person is suddenly activated.

Just in case, if the conditions are not good, you can come back to hemp, anyway, this is not compulsory labor.

It is voluntary to build reservoirs and river embankments.

In addition to the fact that this is a good deed, in which to seek wealth for future generations, it is also a light asset to go out in the future, and you can be proud of your followers, Lao Tzu is a person who has done great things.

"Where do you sign up, I'm the first to sign ......up today, I'm the first to sign up."

"Don't worry, from tomorrow we will set up points at the south gate exit of each square, and set up points in each pavilion and township outside the city, so that all those who want to go have a chance, you can rest assured that our Nancheng County is very financially rich, and we will only do one big thing this year, and the money will be used on the blade......"

When the people around heard this, they were a little calmer, and they applauded:

"Good! That's great! Nancheng County 10,000 years! Nancheng County Wannian ......"

The news quickly went viral.

The construction of reservoirs and embankments is not subject to forced labor.

It's simply unheard of and unseen.

For a while, the entire Chang'an was hotly discussing this matter, and all the previous news was covered up at once.

And this is different from the past, where the big news was very relevant to the common people.

Most of the people have the mentality of eating melons.

The so-called matter is irrelevant, hang high.

Only when it comes to oneself will it be seriously and closely concerned.

And it goes on and on.

When the news came, all parties were already paying attention to Ye Qing's movements

It really surprised everyone from all sides.

Then there is the confusion.

What trick is Ye Qing playing this time!

Xiaoyao Mansion is so rich.

Inclusive of food and accommodation, if this is a hundred and eighty thousand, does Xiaoyao Mansion have this financial support?

Even if it is for them to drink porridge and eat bran, it is still a penny.

"Nonsense! It's just nonsense, does he have to be different? Ye Zhen, who heard the news, patted the dragon chair directly in the imperial study.

Reservoirs are something I've never heard of before, but the embankment alone is enough to keep you busy for years.

And as soon as it comes up, there are two rivers.

How could it be done?

Not being conscripted into labor is even more of a joke.

With the little family background of Xiaoyao Mansion, how can it be supported.

"Go, let Ye Qing withdraw the notice to me, don't embarrass Da Zhou!" The more Ye Zhen thought about it, the more angry he became, and this time he had to intervene.

If Ye Qing is allowed to continue like this, this newly built new county may be tossed in a few months.

"No!" Someone answers, and then goes down to preach the will.

As soon as the person arrived at the gate of the palace, Ye Zhen said again: "Wait, come back, don't go first, summon Liu Buren to me!" ”

In the evening, Dong Bai returned to Dong's mansion.

There was a steward waiting at the door.

"Young Master Bai, the head of the family, go to his study when you come back."

"Grandpa is looking for me!"

Dong Bai seemed to think of what to do, nodded his head, then packed up his clothes, patted the dust on his body, and then went to see Dong Huang.

Pushing the door in, Dong Huang inside was staring at a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

After Dong Bai closed it, Dong Huang asked without replying:

"The news out there is true!"

Dong Bai bowed down and replied: "Back to Grandpa, the news is true, is it the grandson who listened to the order of the Sixth Highness with his own ears, or the document file that the grandson personally put pen to record." ”

"What does he want to do? It doesn't make sense! Dong Huang continued to stare at the calligraphy and painting, his eyebrows tightly locked, as if a thousand catties of weight were pressed down.

The clouds and mountains are foggy, and you can't get out of the maze.

"My grandson didn't understand it, and listening to his tone, he just wanted to build a reservoir and a river embankment." Dong Bai thought for a while and added:

"I have a very happy relationship with that Guo Jia, and I can see that the people of Xiaoyao Mansion are not doing it, but really want to do it, and the purpose of all this seems to be really to turn the wasteland outside the southern city into a granary.

They are planning for this for a couple or two. And I see that he is determined to devote everything to it. ”

Dong Huang turned around and snorted coldly: "It's only been one or two, you are so sure, they are not performing in front of you." ”
