Chapter 30 Government Affairs

On May 21, the first year of the Great Controversy, five days had passed since the war in which Qilin Village attacked Onishi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, during the four-day campaign, while Daxi was fighting with the Qing army, Qilin Village took advantage of the situation to directly connect the sixteen villages of Daxi and plundered more than 100,000 people.

At this time, the whole Qilin Village was busy, countless tents were set up in the open space not far from the market, and a large number of villagers were building houses in the northern part of the village in the northwestern part of the village.

"My lord, according to the method you said, the counting efficiency is really much faster, and now the population of the entire village has been counted, but due to the lack of paper for the record, it will take some time to register all the records."

Standing at the edge of the house area, looking at the busy village below, Guo Yuan reported to Sima Yu.

"Hurry, hurry! These three wagons carry the timber, these two carts carry the stones, and the last remaining cart transports the river sand."

Not far behind Sima Yu and Guo Yuan, a newly recruited scribe was directing the villagers to transport materials for the construction of their houses.

The recruitment order issued by Qilin Village has begun to show its effect, and some people who think they have some knowledge and some skills have gradually begun to recommend themselves to the simple recruitment hall built in the village, and among the more than 100,000 villagers who have joined this time, dozens of talents who have been petty officials have been found, and according to their skills, Guoyuan has quickly assigned suitable jobs to these people.

It is a pity that these talents can only be regarded as junior talents, and they are not enough to be qualified for the position of a county or a state, and everything has to be arranged by Guo Yuan personally.

"Oh, Zini is really talented, and he has mastered these methods so quickly!"

Sima Yu's face was overjoyed when he heard this, and he praised.

You must know that he taught Guoyuan the basic arithmetic methods such as Arabic numerals and ninety-nine multiplication in later generations, but he didn't expect him to be able to use them skillfully in such a short period of time.

"The lord praised it falsely, thanks to the lord's whimsy!" Guo Yuan said modestly.

"Hehe, Zini, I didn't come up with this, I just stood on the shoulders of giants"

Sima Yu hurriedly waved his hand and said, he didn't dare to wear this big hat, if it was spread out and someone saw through it, it would be a shame and a big loss, who knows if there will be any future generations who came to this world like him.

"Lord, this time, our army broke through the sixteen villages of Daxi in a row, bringing back a total of 105618 people, plus the original 8,423 people in our village, and now there are a total of 114041 people, including 43,231 young adults, 57,895 young women, 4,623 old people, and 8,292 children. As long as we have properly settled all the villagers, my Qilin Village can be upgraded to Qilin Town in one fell swoop," Guo Yuan smiled, and no longer continued to dwell on this matter, and then reported to Sima Yu.

Because the military discipline of the entire Onishi Army was not very good, and the officers and men under the command of the Onishi Army often abducted women, the largest number of young women were found in most of the villages within the entire Onishi regime.

"Zini, the mood of these new villagers is quite stable now, right?" Sima Yu nodded and asked when he heard this.

"For these new villagers, we must be appeased with our hearts, and we must not cause chaos, once we cause a civil uprising, everything that exists in my Qilin Village is likely to be ruined."

As soon as Sima Yu finished speaking, he didn't wait for Guoyuan to answer, and he said with some unease.

Qilin Village, which originally had only more than 8,000 people, suddenly increased its population by more than 100,000, and these villagers were all taken captive, so the pacification of people's hearts and the stability of the village was a great test.

"The lord can rest assured, there are four battalions of soldiers patrolling day and night, and there will be no chaos, plus the policies of my Qilin Village are convenient for the people, and the daily food supply is also very sufficient, and all the new villagers have gradually stabilized.

However, my lord, the grain stored in the village is only enough to support it for less than 2 days, and now it is too late to reclaim the fertile land, I am afraid that the lord will have to open some more people's livelihood bags" Guo Yuan looked at Sima Yu with a somewhat solemn face.

When the army of Qilin Village plundered the population on a large scale, Guo Yuan once raised the problem of insufficient grain and grass, and only after Sima Yu opened a bag of people's livelihood on the spot did he dispel his idea of dissuasion.

However, now that the entire Qilin Village has suddenly increased its population by 100,000, Guoyuan doesn't know if the people's livelihood bag in Sima Yu's hands is enough.

"Don't worry about the problem of grain and grass, the remaining people's livelihood bag should be able to open nearly 30,000 stone of grain, at least it can support more than a month. However, we can't sit back and eat empty, the more than 3,000 acres of fertile land in that depression have all been reclaimed, and additional manpower will be sent to reclaim all the land in the southeast, and we must reclaim another 60,000 acres of fertile land within a month."

In the southeast of Qilin Village, there is a plain area covering an area of hundreds of thousands of acres, with soft soil, suitable for cultivating fertile land, and this is also the agricultural area of Qilin Village planned by Sima Yu.

Based on the calculation that the southern water yields two crops a year and the average yield per mu is 600 catties, more than 60,000 mu of fertile land can harvest more than 36 million catties of grain a year, which is fully enough for the existing population of Qilin Village to consume a year.

"Yes, my lord!"

Guo Yuan nodded.

"Zini, it's all because I don't know anything about government affairs, and I can't share it for you, I've worked hard for you during this time. However, no matter how tired you are, you usually have to rest, otherwise if you are tired, I can't play with this more than 100,000 people."

After talking about the matter, looking at Guo Yuan with a tired look on his face, Sima Yu also showed a trace of guilt on his face, and said in a slightly reproachful tone.

"Thank you for your care, as long as these things are sorted out, Yuan will be more relaxed!" Guo Yuan's heart was also warm when he heard this, and he thanked him.

"However, the lord should also learn how to deal with government affairs, so as to prepare for the future ruling party!" Then Guo Yuan said with a solemn expression on his face.

In the past, the power of Qilin Village was still small, and Sima Yu could be the shopkeeper in terms of government affairs, but after the power gradually expanded in the future, Sima Yu had to learn how to deal with government affairs.

"Zini's words are reasonable!"

Sima Yu nodded, in fact, he had already had this idea in his heart, although the most important thing for the superior is to know how to use people, but he also needs to understand the basic government affairs, otherwise he will be deceived by his subordinates in the future.

After discussing the matter with Guoyuan, Sima Yu immediately went to the warehouse to open all the remaining more than 720 people's livelihood bags again, and obtained 1,400,000 units of wood, stone, grain, and iron ore, and 720,000 copper coins.
