Section 178 Large households
The Taoist temple on the Golden Bull Ridge is already full of victims who are willing to go to Lingao. In the final stage of the Qiongbei Public Security War, the New Taoism and the Lingao Church launched an activity to compete for local religious facilities. In the office of He Ying, who served as the religious affairs officer, Dai and Dean Wu engaged in a battle for jΔ«lie. As the county with the most temples and Taoist temples, Qiongshan has naturally become the focus of contention between the two sides.
After some haggling, Dai lived up to his expectations and won most of the religious facilities for the new Taoism. Although this Taoist temple on Jinniu Ridge has fallen into disrepair for a long time, its scale can be regarded as magnificent in the whole Qiongzhou. Zhang Daochang adhered to the principle of "occupying land first and then building", and the principle of occupying such religious facilities is that the more the merrier.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦ Our central task, the first is to catch people, and the second is to grasp the ground. Zhang Yingchen instructed in a letter to Dai that "Taoism is the center of propagation, and without a fortress for fighting, it is impossible to arouse the enthusiasm for fighting." β
Now, a young Taoist boy from the training class of a new Taoist student has been stationed in the Taoist temple, and he wears a standard Taoist robe designed by the Taoist master himself: a Tang-style right shirt with narrow sleeves and a red hexagram armband sewn on the right arm of the uniform. I take care of it at the door. He was caught off guard by the number of refugees who came at once. In fact, there was nothing in the Taoist temple, because of the shortage of funds, only a few houses were repaired as dormitories and office spaces, and then the few halls that were crumbling were simply reinforced.
Now these barely supported dilapidated houses are crowded with refugees who are ready to go to Lingao to work. The staff sent by the county are maintaining order, and of course the main role is played by the troops of the 1st Infantry Battalion stationed in Qiongshan. The company's paperwork is in the process of registering the rosters one by one so that sufficient camps, food and clothing can be prepared for Lingao. According to Jihua, most of these refugees will be used in various infrastructure construction sites and agricultural production areas in Lingao.
Due to the influence of that successful pyramid scheme, almost all the proletarian tenants who were waiting for relief in the county were willing to go to Lingao to make a living. Many people are also supporting the elderly and children to prepare for family migration. But the situation on the porridge field reached the ears of the big households at an extra rapid speed, and the big households' reactions were much faster than Yang Yun, who was in charge of this matter, expected. Before the statistics were completed, the big households came to stop them with the deeds signed by the tenants and the notes made by the tenants and poor peasants when they borrowed debts and owed rent. There is no concept of "going out to work to pay off debts" in this time and space, and these debtors have nothing to offset except for their strength.
Therefore, it is impossible for these creditors to let these laborers easily leave the county, and going out is equivalent to evading debts, if it was before, they could send a piece of film and let Lingao County detain people back and continue to sell their labor to repay debts and complete the contract; But now they don't have that much prestige.
What it means to lose tenants is of course very clear to the big households, first of all, this year's rent is completely lost, although there is a typhoon and a big flood, the tenants can still grow a season's grain, the rent can not be collected evenly, and some can be deducted, and once the tenants run away, there will be nothing, and even the arrears of rent accumulated over the years are equivalent to a write-off. Moreover, many refugees used to borrow a lot of usury to settle the famine and spring ploughing, but now that they have gone to Lingao, the money will definitely not be repaid.
In a hurry, the big families sent their stewards and family members one after another, and some simply went out in person to stop people in the porridge field.
Liu Xiang thought of this when he heard Yang Yun introduce the action plan, when the pot was still lit in the porridge shed, he had already asked people to call the security commissioner of the Qiongshan County Office, and now the Qiongshan County Police Department has not yet been formally formed, and the naturalized police will go to the Jinniuling Taoist Temple to maintain order.
He also sent people to pick up the veterans in charge of the Delong Qiongshan branch and the Qiongshan County Court to deal with the problem.
But I didn't expect the big households to act so fast and rebound so violently, there were quarrels in the entire Taoist temple, some knelt down and cried, some scolded, and some choked too violently on the rice ball.................. Naturalized police officers and sergeants. The soldiers worked hard to maintain order, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Liu Xiang had to go on the stage in person, and in a hurry, there was no electroacoustic loudspeaker here, so he had to take a big iron horn. Shake this scene with the "rich treble" that he practiced with Kara in the old time and space.
"What a fuss! When this is the entrance of the vegetable market! β
Although others sing out of tune, but Liu Xiang never sings in tune, Liu Xiang's voice is indeed loud and rich, and although it has been cut a lot, it can still block the vision of the stomach as a resonance box, this sudden burst of roar made the scene suddenly quiet.
The natives didn't know what the market was, but they could see that the Australians were angry. They all froze, not daring to argue anymore.
When the naturalized police arrived at this good opportunity, they immediately showed their existence with their heads held high, and separated the few people around them who were pulled together.
"Refugees go to the right to register first. The others waited at the door of the Taoist temple! Liu Xiang waved his hand and drew a line in the air, "This is a refugee camp, and idlers are not allowed to enter!" β
"Blue Sky .................. That one.................. "Chief," said a man dressed as a steward, "can't you let them go, they still owe a lot of debts to our lord!" The steward slapped an oiled paper bag in his hand and shouted, causing several other stewards in large households to say yes.
"Master, if you take them away, our family will only have to hang themselves." A small landowner cried that his robe was covered in mud and that "last year's rent was not paid......
"This gang of Diao people, my lord, please see, this is the knot written by our lords last year, the year before last, and the year before last, and they haven't paid a single grain until now." The other steward waved a stack of ledgers indignantly, "Now I'm going to run away again!" What a real Diao Min! β
"Chief, this is a debt borrowed from the king's thirty family, and he can't say that he can use his daughter to pay off the debt! Now he's running away! What is this? If you want to go, you can leave people behind to pay off the debt! β
"It is only right to repay the subordinated debt!"
Liu Xiang was dizzy, and suddenly the crowd was separated, and a white-bearded old man came in, seeing that he was also a landlord mΕ-like scholar, and saw him trembling and said, "Master............ Heads...... From ancient times to the present, the grain is given and the grain is rented, and the grain households in the world are the foundation of the imperial court. The old man must not be benevolent and destroy his foundation.................." said he jΔ« moved, "The students are full of history books, they are the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, and there has never been such an example of saving famine and disaster, and I also ask the chief to learn from it."
He thought that since the Australians claimed to be descendants of the Great Song Dynasty, the method of bringing out the Great Song Dynasty was a big killer.
"They just registered to say they were willing to go, and they didn't just take it now! The county already has a plan for the debts and rent arrears you are talking about, and the cadres who deal with them are rushing to this side. You go to the door and wait, don't mess around here! Get out of here first! Liu Xiang said with a dissatisfied expression.
This group of people didn't dare to make a mistake when they saw that the Australian county prince had already started the real fire, and they thought that these mud were in the Taoist temple, and they were guarding the door, so they didn't think they could slip under their noses, so they retreated to the gate where they could shelter from the rain. A few tuΗ feet were so slow that they had to shrink under the eaves.
Seeing that order was gradually restored, the two elders in charge of court and banking affairs also came, and they were actually still on a business trip in Qiongshan County, and there was no formal appointment. In fact, the veteran cadres in Qiongshan County, except for Liu Xiang, are all on business trips, and the task is to build a team and train and guide, and when the naturalized cadres are generally able to do their jobs, they will change to another place Chen Ce of the Planning Office of Delong Bank, who went to Qiongshan to set up a local branch of Delong - Qiongshan is the first county in the whole state, and Delong plans to build a Qiongzhou branch here, and then set up a branch office or office in each county. The Qiongzhou branch is also located in the Buzheng Branch, with only three offices and one warehouse.
The patriarch sent by the legal scholars was Ji Xin, and in addition to serving as the president of the court, he also had a task of building a local national elementary school.
Liu Xiang held a small meeting in a dilapidated house in the Taoist temple, explained the situation first, and then came up with a plan for this problem.
"The situation is already clear, these tenants are directly pulled to Lingao, and they don't dare to say anything, but the impact is not good." Liu Xiang concluded: "The big investors are not aware of the real danger yet, they just instinctively protect their debts and can be ensured. β
"I agree with the plan I just said. If the amount does not exceed my authority, I can approve a fund. Chen Ce once again reiterated the condition of "not exceeding the authority", "But I doubt that they are willing to accept our negotiable coupons?" At present, the credit of Qiongshan's negotiable coupons is not enough, and many people will be suspicious. As for directly using silver or grain to pay off debts, I am afraid that the reserves are not enough. β
"Then I'm ready to take on this big beach lawsuit. After a few days of heavy rain, I finally had work to do. Ji Xin said lightly, "I can take some measures, so that it is not difficult to cancel or reduce the amount of these debts." β
Most of the gentry who bullied the tenants were illiterate, and they could not understand the relationship between the above terms, and the contracts, IOUs, and knots they made were all "overlord clauses", and Ji Xin had long wanted to take the opportunity to crack down on such unhealthy tendencies, and the spirit of the contract must be based on relative openness.
"Questions? The big guys don't think that we use power to take advantage of it, do they? I'm afraid it's hard to convince people. Chen Ce was a little worried, he was instinctively sensitive in this regard.
