Chapter 64: Progress
、、、、、、、
(Thank you for the second big seal of Zongheng, and also thank you brothers for your support, there is nothing to repay the brothers, today and tomorrow to ensure that the 10,000 words are updated, I hope the new brothers will not hesitate to collect it!) Thank you again! )
It may also be that the New Year is really coming, the good news can be said to be coming one after another, Xiao Tianjian did not ask Yan Chongxi and the others first, but first slipped out the Feng Xiti who was standing at the end, and asked him: "Feng Xi, how did you do what I told you to do?" ”
Feng Xi walked out with a smiling face, nodded and walked out, facing Xiao Tianjian's waist bent like a prawn, and replied: "Congratulations to the general, General Hexi, the little one has also given the general a New Year's greeting in advance!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, get down to business!" Xiao Tianjian scolded him impatiently.
"Yes, yes, yes! This time, the small one went to Yangcheng County, met the county first, and then asked for I don't know how much the relationship, and finally met the county magistrate Wang Jinsong Wang Da ......, and sent a thousand taels of silver to the guy, although the guy didn't say anything, but the small one also saw that he had acquiesced, as for the other people in the county, including the main book, the inspection and even the head catcher, they all more or less dotted it, and these people also know who has the final say in this piece now, although the big guy doesn't say it clearly, but they already know it! It is expected that Yangcheng County's side should be settled, and the county Cheng also said that as long as we don't disturb the surrounding areas of the county, then he can act as if he didn't see it, but that Wang Zhixian wants us to harvest next summer, at least five thousand taels of silver to them! Feng Xi didn't dare to talk nonsense, and told the main process of going to Yangcheng County this time and the conditions proposed by the other party.
Luo Li was furious when he heard this, slapped the table and scolded: "Bullshit! You went to Yangcheng County and spent two thousand taels of silver to do this? He actually asked us to pay him 5,000 taels of silver, I'm sorry! How can the silver that Lao Tzu exchanged for his life cheapen these dog officials? Before he finished his words, the rest of the people also stood up and wanted to scold this Feng Xi.
"Luo Li! Is it up to you here, or am I up to me? Xiao Tianjian didn't wait for Luo Li to finish scolding, so he turned his face and shouted to Luo Li and the others.
As soon as he heard Xiao Tianjian speak, Luo Li immediately came to a big nest, stomped back and sat back in his seat, and the rest of the people didn't dare to continue scolding this Feng Xi.
Xiao Tianjian glanced at these subordinates coldly, and said to them: "Feng Xi has done a good job in this matter, two thousand taels of silver has bought us nearly half a year of stability!" This time is the most important thing for us, and it is something that is hard to buy!
Now that we have just established ourselves here, all the foundations have not yet been firmly established, and once the official army comes to suppress it in the spring of tomorrow, we will not have time to do many things, and even now, many of the things we have done will probably be in vain! Have you figured it out? I only know how to scold Feng Xi, why don't you know how to think about it? If you go, I will give you five thousand taels of silver to let you do this, and which of you will dare to take this job? ”
Everyone was scolded by Xiao Tianjian like this, and they didn't dare to speak up, because they really couldn't do this kind of thing, and only Feng Xi, who was familiar with the local and shameless, could do it. And what Xiao Tianjian said is also that now they really need time, first to gain a firm foothold, whether they can not turn against the local government, or not against them first, so that they can completely gain a firm foothold in this area.
After Feng Xi heard this, he bowed down to Xiao Tianjian again and again to thank him, and his heart was also moved, and Xiao Tianjian continued: "I know that it is not easy for you to go this time, since you are with me, then I, Xiao, will also treat you as a brother, as long as you do what I tell you to do, I Xiao will never treat you badly!" You can go down! Go back and see your wife and children, it's time for the New Year, and it's okay to rest with them for a few days! ”
Feng Xi's nose was sour, and he almost shed tears, when he followed Feng Tiancheng before, because of his relationship with Feng Tiancheng, no one in the village looked down on him, and no one dared to disrespect him in front of him, but now that he is with Xiao Tianjian, everyone in Xingtianjun does not want to see him, no one wants to beat him, and he doesn't dare to scold him, this day is gray, and he has to nod his head when he sees anyone, and he is inferior, but today he finally feels that he has found a little dignity as a human being, here, he just wants to listen to Xiao Tianjian, only to do good things for Xiao Tianjian, He can have the dignity of being a human being, so he thanked him again and again, pouted and withdrew.
After watching Feng Xi reluctantly withdraw from the Gathering Hall, Xiao Tianjian glanced at the group of people under him, the expression on his face relaxed, waved his hand and said: "I know that you all look down on him Feng Xi, but you also have to know that those who do our business, we have to make friends with the people of the three sects and the nine streams, not to mention the generation of chickens and dogs, they also have their use, and the big guy doesn't have to look at him unpleasantly, as long as he can be used by me and do things for us, then he will be useful to us, don't scold him at every turn in the future, as long as it is a person, You can not like him, but you can't insult him, it's a big deal to stay away, and you should pay special attention to this in the future! ”
Everyone immediately got up and said that they knew what to do in the future, Xiao Tianjian nodded and asked Fu Deming, who had just come back, "Mr. Fu, tell me about your affairs!" Let the brethren know about it! ”
Fu Deming nodded and cleared his throat, and said: "The things ordered by the general are being implemented here, and now the household registration has basically been registered, and it has begun to divide the fields in Dongye Town and the surrounding areas of this area!"
Originally, there were more than 100 large and small villages in the area under our jurisdiction, and there were more than 100 households in the large villages, but there were only two or three such villages, and most of the rest were small villages with a dozen or twenty or thirty households, and the smallest tun had only three or four households.
Now, after our statistics, there are more than 6,000 households, according to the orders of the previous general, ten households are one first, and the first head has been selected! It's just a matter of sending our people down to be the security chief in the next step! As long as the chief of security is sent down, we will basically be able to control the situation in the local villages!
Now more than 20 villages have been distributed, and the vouchers have been issued to them, and they have made it clear to them that this land belongs to our Xingtian Army, and they can only have the right to cultivate, but this land is not allowed to trade between them without authorization, and whoever dares to buy and sell land without permission will be confiscated from the land, as long as they do not oppose our Xingtian Army, An'an's divided farming can be passed down from generation to generation, and after the family has a strong man, they can also divide the land! The common people have no opinion, after all, they have just been allocated land, and no one wants to sell it for money! In this way, it also completely prevented them from seeing that they were not good, so they sold their land for money and fled! The general's method of public ownership of the land can be described as absolute! Hehe!
The rest of the villages, at the moment my people are still busy in the village, it is estimated that after the Shangyuan Festival, this land should almost be divided, and we Lotus Village ourselves, also left thousands of acres of land, and we can use it as a military camp ourselves!
In short, at present, my affairs here are still being carried out relatively smoothly, and some local snakes want to make trouble, so they were immediately arrested by me and sent to the mine for labor reform! The vast majority of the common people, who are inexhaustible in their gratitude to the general, are holding back their energy, and at the beginning of spring next year, they will hurry up the wasteland and plant grain!
At present, there is only one problem, that is, there is not enough grain, and if you want to plant spring grain in the spring, you must have grain seeds, and what to plant must be arranged by the general, and the problem of seeds must be solved in advance! Otherwise, even if the people have land, they will stare dryly!
There is also a shortage of ploughing cattle, and the farming tools are also far behind, and many poor families do not even have bedding, let alone decent farm tools! Please prepare for these things in advance! I'm a good woman, it's hard to cook without rice! ”
After listening to Fu Deming's words, the big guys were very pleased, after all, if they want to gain a firm foothold here, they still rely on these ordinary people, and after next year, their military rations will be solved locally! The common people are all united with their Xingtian Army, so who can take them Xingtianjun What can they do? So they all laughed.
Xiao Tianjian nodded and wrote down these things in a notebook in front of him with a carbon pen, and then looked up and said to Deming: "Mr. Fu has worked hard this time, big guys can take a look, Mr. Fu used to be a life, but now?" This face is even rougher than you look! It doesn't look like it's born at all! Mr. Fu's hard work is in everyone's eyes and in mind, and I, Xiao, am here today to say thank you to Mr. Fu!
As for the things you said to be solved, I have already considered that part of the problem of grain seeds can be solved from our grain stockpiles, and in addition, I think that we should not use bad grain seeds, and try to purchase a batch of good grain seeds from the outside and send them down for the people to plant! Otherwise, even if the inferior seeds are planted, the yield will not be high, and we had better give the people good grain seeds!
As for letting the people plant something, I will think about it again, and then discuss it with a few old farmers, this matter is a big matter, I am not an expert, I can't make a rash decision!
As for the farm tools, the craftsmen of Shuangfeng Zhai Iron are working day and night to build, and now we have a lot of iron, basically before the spring ploughing, we can solve most of the problems of farm tools!
But I also said that earlier, the farm tools were lent to them, and they could use them in the first year, but after the first crop of grain, they had to be converted into grain and repaid to us, and the farm tools would be their personal property and belonged to them personally! If they use bad words, then they will take the bad ones and replace them with new ones, and this rule must be set for them, and these things must not be allowed to become their free things, and they cannot give them away for nothing! Otherwise, some people won't love it!
As for the question of ploughing cattle, Mr. Fu has to wait first, and I will give you an answer in a while, whether you can get together ploughing cattle! Hehe! ”
From Xiao Tianjian's words, Fu Deming could see that Xiao Tianjian also had deep considerations on how to deal with civil affairs, and many things he did not take into account were already considered by Xiao Tianjian in advance, so Fu Deming no longer dared to pretend to be a teacher in front of Xiao Tianjian, and became modest and cautious.
As a subordinate, if the person above is a fool, he can't suppress his subordinates, the superior can not be very knowledgeable, but he can't know nothing, at least he must know how to schedule, so that his subordinates can be convinced, and the subordinates will not dare to fool the superiors, Xiao Tianjian's performance during this period of time made Fu Deming really have nothing to say, so he can only become humble and dare not be arrogant.
"The general is really far-sighted, and even thinks about such a trivial matter so clearly, and he really admires his humble position! Since the generals have considered it, then the humble position is also relieved! Generals should not praise lowly positions, this is also what lowly officials are willing to do! Hehe! ”
Fu Deming's words made another burst of laughter in the Juyi Hall.
