Chapter 344 Disaster Relief Inspection (continued)

According to the historical records in the dream world, there must be floods after the drought, and the floods after the drought are often the most destructive, because the drought will cause the soil to dry up and loosen, and once the heavy rain pours, it is easy to cause geological disasters such as mudslides, and you need to be prepared now.

Soon, Su Shang came back to his senses, nodded and said with a smile: "Sun County's suggestion is good, just do what you say, and from tomorrow onwards, arrange officials to organize the disaster victims to repair the water conservancy!" However, water conservancy renovation is a manual work, and the victims who participate in the water conservancy renovation can receive more relief food every day, and their wage grain conversion standard must also be increased by 10 percent. ”

After speaking, Su Shang instructed his own secretary office to join the army: "Immediately write down my decision just now as an order, distribute it to the county orders at the other three meeting points, and order them to implement it immediately." In addition, Du Changshi and Wei Junshou were informed, and asked them to inform the whole territory in my name that local officials should organize the people under their control to dig ditches and renovate water conservancy facilities as much as possible within half a year. ”

"Yes!" The general of the chamber answered, then turned over and dismounted, walked to the side, took out pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write the order document.

At this time, Su Shang also turned over and dismounted, and got into a tent, in which there seemed to be a family meeting, which was a small family, men and women, old and young, gathered together, about forty people.

Suddenly, when soldiers entered, men, women, and children in the tent were frightened and crowded to the other side, some young women looked a little frightened, and were about to walk out of the tent from the other side with their children in their arms.

Seeing this, Sun Lu'er hurriedly said: "Don't be afraid, this is Lord Su Shang, the Duke of Laiguo, and the marshal of our allied army." The marshal has come to visit you. ”

When everyone heard this, they knelt down and saluted, Su Shang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Everyone, please get up, don't be nervous!" Who is the patriarch? ”

A thin old man stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "The grass people are exactly!"

"Where are you from?" Su Shang asked with a smile.

"We are the Chuqiu people of Liang County, and the grass people's surname is Zhang." The thin old man replied respectfully.

At this time, more than a dozen old men heard the news and knelt down to salute Su Shang together, they were all elders or clan leaders of the family who were temporarily living in the adjacent tents

"Everyone, please get up!"

Su Shang said with a smile, "Natural disasters and man-made disasters are not changeable by one person, and when there is a catastrophe, everyone needs to work together." Today I came to see you, if you have any questions, or if you have any good ideas, you can talk about them. ”

"Marshal, we've been here for three days, and we want to know what will happen to us next?" An old man stepped forward and bowed and asked.

Su Shang looked at everyone and said with a smile: "This question is still asked to answer everyone by Sun County Order, he is in charge of these things, and he knows the details better than me."

Sun Lu'er smiled slightly: "The reason why everyone is waiting here for a few days is because there are too many people fleeing the disaster, and there are more than 300,000 people gathered here. With so many people, we need to register them one by one before we can make proper resettlement, so it may take a bit of a long time. You may then be evacuated to the counties below Lu County, or to other counties under the rule of our Allied Army. ”

"But don't worry, since we bring everyone together, we will definitely put everyone together! Local residents have been arranged by the government to build temporary shelters for everyone. The temporary accommodation may be relatively simple, but it will never let everyone sleep in the wilderness, and the local government will also give out some relief food to everyone, and will rent it to everyone in a rent-free way, and will also distribute some seeds to everyone for free."

Everyone was suddenly a little excited, and they all talked to each other, "It's a little late to replant crops now, but you can also plant some beans or pumpkins, the key is to have a water source."

After a while, when everyone was talking about it, Sun Lu'er waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then Su Shang smiled and said: "We don't have much food, so the local government can only distribute the least relief food, just like now, it must be not enough to eat, and can only survive."

"But there is food in the market, and everyone can earn money to buy rice, for example, young and strong laborers can help the local garrison to open up wasteland and fields, they can participate in the construction of water conservancy, they can go to the mines to mine ores, women can spin and weave, as long as there is labor, there are opportunities to earn money in the counties under the rule of our allied army. With money, everyone can buy grain, and even fish and meat. ”

At this time, the door of the tent was already crowded with a group of people, men, women and children, who had heard the news and came to inquire about the excitement.

Su Shang paused, and saw that everyone was attracted by his words, so he smiled again: "With money, you can also buy some rouge gouache for your wife and children, buy some gold and silver jewelry, buy some new shoes and new clothes, the key is to work, to do things, as long as you are willing to work and do things, you must have income."

"Then may I ask the marshal, how much money can you earn a day from mining?" A sturdy man couldn't help but ask out loud when he heard this.

Su Shang said with a smile: "Mining is a hard job, but it also earns a lot, if you are willing to work hard, you can probably earn about four times a month, and it is the new money issued by our allies." The price of grain under the rule of the Allied Army, usually about 60 yuan for rice, may be a little more expensive now, about 80 yuan for rice. Converted, being a miner for a month, you can buy about five stone rice. ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little excited, and they all whispered. Most of them used to farm at home, and the grain harvested by a young and strong laborer in a year was only more than ten stones, which was converted into copper coins, which was about ten yuan. I didn't expect that now people only need to mine for two months, which can be worth a year of hard work, which is comparable to the income of a small landlord's family.

"Lord Marshal, I heard that the counties under the rule of the Allied Army will redistribute the land and the taxes will be very low, is this true?" An old man couldn't help but ask out loud.

This was a question that everyone was concerned about, and the people inside and outside the tent suddenly became quiet, and they all looked at Su Shang, ready to listen to his answer.

Su Shang glanced at everyone and said slowly: "The tax rate of the fields under the rule of the Allied Army is about thirty taxes. However, the counties newly included in the Allied jurisdiction will be exempt from taxes for two years, and the people who, like everyone else, will also be exempt from taxes for two years. ”

"If the land is redivided, how much land will we get alone?" The old man asked again.

Su Shang smiled and said, "Ding Nan divides thirty acres of grain fields, and Ding women divide fifteen acres. Men who join the army will be given another 20 acres of Yongye land. Yongye Tian can be passed on to future generations, even if the family moves to other places in the future, these Yongye fields still belong to everyone, and the government cannot take them away. After joining the army, the military field will be rewarded again, and the military field is also Yongye field, which is exempt from tax for ten years."
