Chapter 13 Construction (3)

When Liu Renyu said this, his eyes were condescending, sweeping around the crowd, but everyone who came into contact with Liu Renyu's gaze lowered their heads and avoided looking at Liu Renyu.

Liu Renyu glanced at it for a while, and felt that the effect was almost there, so he continued to be angry and started today's meeting: "If you can come to me, it means that your previous life was not good, at least you ate the last meal and did not have the next meal, but you couldn't even get a full meal after working all day." You come to my town Beibao, but the situation will be different, all of you here, will divide the land according to the number of heads of each household, these lands are given to you is your private property, I will write the title deed for you, as long as I am still alive, I will recognize the title deed. I will only take 20 percent of the grain that comes out of these fields, and it will be your tax. What is the meaning of this tax, and what is its purpose? I will train your armies, and protect your property, and the wages of the armies will be paid with the taxes you teach. Also, I want to open a school, under the age of 6, to the nursery school centralized management, the nursery all the old mothers who take care of the children, their salaries and the taxes you pay, and the primary school, older than 6 years old, less than 18 years old, in the primary school, there is a teacher to teach them, and many more, I will not say, when the time comes, write it on the bulletin, and ask someone to read it to you. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Renyu paused for a moment and asked the people to digest what he said, and then continued: "Before dividing the fields, I still have something to say, I know that some people don't even have a place to live, and some people have divided the house, but it is not very good, so in the past few days, our task is to divide labor and cooperate to rebuild Zhenbei Fort." The specific work of the construction is in charge of the blacksmith Zhao, I only assign tasks, the men of each family must do physical work, the corresponding men's food is the best, you can eat meat, the rice is open to eat, the women are responsible for cleaning the streets, washing and cooking, picking up firewood, serving tea and water, can not eat meat, can only eat, children are concentrated in my place of residence, unified management. Listen to it, do your work well, and don't be cheating, and if the overseer I send finds out that any of you is not doing your work, and the whole family is hungry more than three times, the whole family will be expelled from the north fort of the town. Remembered. Okay, now, the men come to my left hand side to eat, and the women and children come to my right hand side to eat. ”

As soon as they heard that they could start eating, the crowd dispersed with a bang, and when they arrived at the place to eat, Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu and Liu Poyu maintained order and called for a queue to eat. Seeing that the queue would be attacked by force, everyone had to line up in the order of first come, first served.

After everyone finished breakfast, under the arrangement of Zhao Blacksmith, the city wall was demolished, the pier platform was demolished, and the cleaning was cleaned, and there was a busy scene in the north fort of Zhenbei.

In order to supervise the construction of various places, the old people of the pier, including Liu Renyu, rode around to supervise the work at the daily price, and those who did not work hard were recorded in the case and punished for starvation. Some people who plan to fish in troubled waters don't dare to be lazy anymore when they see Liu Renyu's tight control.

Speaking of which, the workload of rebuilding Zhenbeibao is still very large, but fortunately, Zhenbeibao is the same as a township in later generations, it is really not much, so even if the two walls of the city wall are demolished and rebuilt, the amount of work is not very large. In just three months, it was almost done.

At this time, Zhenbei Fort has changed greatly compared to the original. First of all, the city was expanded, renovated, or built a series of new houses and other buildings, such as Liu Renyu's general mansion, as well as Ma Tianjun's Zhenbeibao town government, barracks, hospital, in order to make the defense of Zhenbeibao more stable, Liu Renyu specially ordered the city wall to be increased to two zhang, and excavated a moat along the city, one zhang wide and two zhang deep, and led the river water to irrigate it, so that the Jingbian Fort City was built. Looking at it today, Jingbian Fort City seems to be restored to Taizu, Chengzu, and benevolence, and the old appearance is also declared.

Just as the construction of Zhenbei Fort was in full swing, Li Jiye, who went to recruit miners, finally returned.

Renyu took Zhao Datie, Zhao Cuizhi, Liu Renjie and Li Jiye to meet one by one, and then Liu Renyu began to assign tasks to him.

"Jiye, the 36 miners you recruited, set them up according to a team of 12 people, set up a captain, three teams for a flag, set up a flag general, the flag must be you, the captain is appointed by you, the way of appointment is determined by yourself, draw lots, compete, look at the edge, you are free, understand."

"Uhhh

"The family members they brought, they will settle down with the Heavenly Monarch later, and then let them rest for a while, and I will assign tasks to them."

"What task?"

"Our place is too close to Mongolia, although the Mongols no longer patronize here in recent years, but we have been together for a long time in this life, and the Mongols may still come, so I want these miners to dig tunnels in the ground, and these tunnels lead to the city first, of course, there are more forks in the tunnels, more labyrinths, and traps, so that our people are familiar with the tunnels, so that the enemy is confused. Do you understand? ”

"Oh, so that's the case, I understand, these miners are all miserable children, and they are idle if they don't dig holes for a day, and they will be asked to start work tomorrow."

"Well, you can just do it."

Therefore, when the people in Zhenbeibao were engaged in infrastructure construction, the miners' banner led by Li Chengfeng was not idle. The miners are divided into various teams to carry out activities, digging tunnels in the fields, which are as dense as spider webs, extending in all directions, with many branches, and preventing enemy attacks, and there are internal mechanisms to kill the enemy.

These tunnels are about 2 meters high and 1 meter wide, although they are narrow, but they are places to avoid in distress, and they are not very cramped, and these tunnels lead to the castle, if you want to encounter an enemy attack, if the people are not in the castle, they can quickly return to the castle through the tunnels, and do not have to be afraid of being killed by the enemy.

Now that the miners are not manpowered, Liu Renyu can only build these tunnels, and if conditions allow, he plans to extend the tunnels to the nearby mountains.

However, even if these tunnels are not too much, they still make the people of Zhenbei Fort feel extremely satisfied, at least when the Mongols, or some other strongmen kill them, they have a little more means to save their lives.

In this way, after Liu Renyu's careful care, Zhenbei Fort City was repaired, the people have a residence, the city has defense, and the people's hearts are determined, after which Liu Renyu ordered Ma Tianjun to divide the land, according to the policy, there are people in the family who are willing to join the army, called to divide the good field, there is no male in the family, only a daughter, the daughter marries the soldier as a wife and also divides the land, and the rest of the land is not a good field.

I heard that Liu Renyu has such a policy, and the enthusiasm of the people to join the army is naturally extremely high, and there are many applicants for a time, but according to the policy, the limit for joining the army is 108 people, aged between 18 and 35 years old, and those who have only one male in the family are not allowed to join the army, and those who only have daughters and refuse to marry their daughters to military soldiers as wives cannot be assigned good fields.

Such a policy naturally made some people quite dissatisfied, and they planned to talk to Ma Tianjun about it, saying that the policy was not reasonable, but it turned out that Yang Desheng led people to fight with a stick.

Ma Tianjun felt that this matter was too careful, so he said to Liu Renyu: "My lord, the people just don't understand our policy, I will tell them why I have to beat them if I don't ask about it." Then we will lose the hearts and minds of the people. Please also send for comfort to the people who have been beaten. ”

"Yes, Tianjun, a group of people with hoes, flat shoulders, and no serious mouths gathered at the gate of the official mansion, is that called a reaction problem with you, that is called unreasonable. Remember, before the people are civilized, they are hooligans, and to deal with hooligans, you must use hooligan methods. I'm still merciful this time, and I didn't ask Desheng to kill the killers, even if their ancestral grave was smoking. Liu Renyu said disapprerovitically.

"Besides, when you were in Jiangnan, when your local officials collected taxes, did they collect them reasonably? It's not that we have sent a public servant to ask for it, but to be reasonable, how can we gain a foothold in this place where Mongols, bandits, and bandits are rampant. Remember, in Zhenbei Fort, we have the final say, those who are not satisfied can go, and there are people everywhere, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to recruit people. Tianjun, do you understand? Liu Renyu was afraid that Ma Tianjun would think too much, so he simply persuaded again.

Ma Tianjun thought about it for a while and felt that what Liu Renyu said was very reasonable, so he nodded and said, "My lord is right, I really read too many books and have become sour Confucian." I'm going to do something. ”

"Well, remember, your words are unquestionable, whoever is not convinced, just ask whoever packs up the bed and leaves, our town North Fort does not accept people who have no rules." Liu Renyu cheered Ma Tianjun up.

"I remember." After Ma Tianjun finished speaking, he left.

"Desheng."

"Yes."

"Ma Xiucai is a scholar in Jiangnan in the end, and he is a little weaker in his work, so he helps a little."

"Yes."

"There you go."

"Yes."

After this little episode, there was no more turmoil in the division of the land, and the displaced people honestly selected the land according to their own conditions, and then received the title deed and divided the land boundary.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the yield of the fields was reduced, although there was a cold climate and the reason for the drought year after year, but the more important thing was that there were too many taxes and miscellaneous taxes. Ordinary people farming is tantamount to chronic suicide, so people have fled the famine, and the grain production has been seriously reduced.

Therefore, drought and lack of rain in northern Shaanxi are not a problem, and wells can be dug deep and water diversion ditches can be repaired. Generally speaking, the local government in the late Ming Dynasty was not interested in repairing the canals, but Liu Renyu was a person who wanted to do great things after all, and of course he had to send people to do these thankless tasks.

To do this kind of thing, it is naturally Li Chengfeng's miner division who is out of the horse. In recent years, the groundwater level in northern Shaanxi is too deep, and digging a well is the same as engaging in oil exploration, not 15 meters, don't want to see water.

By the time the wells were dug and the canals were dredged, it was already March, but the land in the north was still cold and windy, and the temperature was extremely low. In this case, if you plant the wheat seedlings, you will freeze to death.

In this case, Liu Renyu ordered a large house to be built, the walls of the house were equipped with a mezzanine, the bottom of which was heated by a fire made of charcoal, and the heating was filled into the mezzanine, making the big house a greenhouse. In the greenhouse, Liu Renyu asked the craftsmen among the displaced people to make four to five layers of wooden beds, covered them with fertile soil, planted spring wheat in the soil, and used firewood or cow dung to make a fire on the roof to create light, day and night, in this way. When the weather warms up, you can move the seedlings to the fields and plant them.

The problem of wheat seedlings was solved, and the people began to plough the land by dozens of families sharing one ox, and burned the grass to obtain grass and ash to fertilize the fields. In the era when there was no chemical fertilizer, the manure of people and animals was pure natural and pollution-free organic fertilizer.

In order to maximize the centralized use of manure, Liu Renyu issued the "Special Document on the Centralized Treatment of Human and Animal Manure", which stipulates that all human and animal animals under the jurisdiction of Zhenbei Fort must stay in the fort for centralized use, for which 5 large public toilets are built, and people need to go into the public toilet to relieve them regardless of whether they urinate or urinate.

When it is inconvenient at night, people's urine and urine need to be dissolved in the toilet, and the Civil Affairs Bureau will send sanitation workers to collect it every morning. Whoever defecates in the fort will be found to be 20, and whoever has not entered the toilet in the toilet will be the head of the household20.

As soon as this document was released, the people sighed one after another, Liu Daren was in charge of the heavens and the earth, and he even had to take care of shit and fart. However, everyone thinks that although Liu Renyu has strict rules, but his own small life is getting better and better, at least Lord Liu provides free wheat seedlings, and the current rations are also provided by Lord Liu for free.
