In addition to military affairs, government affairs are not idle.

On this day, Qin Mintang, the governor of Tongchuan Prefecture, came to report that the official army recovered Tongchuan Prefecture in the middle of the year, and seven or eight counties in Tongchuan Prefecture were entrenched for a long time.

When the official army regained Tongchuan Prefecture in the summer of this year, at a glance, every inch and every village had abandoned land, and every village and every village had families dying.

After several months of governance, especially after the government and army expelled the Liukou and restored the capital, the villagers gradually returned, the displaced people were resettled, and the local population gradually increased.

This year's autumn ploughing, there are people working on each hillside, and now when I go to the countryside to watch, although there is also land abandoned, but less than 10% of the abandoned land is abandoned.

Despite this, the local government has a huge financial cost.

Rebuild the official yamen, build a new township office, and the officials need to distribute their salaries.

The Liukou Tartar soldiers pressed the border, and the local soldiers were being trained, and the government required to pay 3 cents of silver every day for training and performing tasks in addition to exempting the soldiers from the soldiers.

In the past few years, tens of thousands of displaced people have been displaced, but now that the local area is stable, it is necessary to allocate money and food to resettle the displaced people.

Liukou has been entrenched in Tongchuan Prefecture for two years, and this autumn only 40,000 quintals of grain were collected, plus 3,000 taels of silver and 4,000 taels of salt every month.

However, according to the sharing method, 20% of the income goes to the county, 10% goes to the state government, and the remaining 70% is handed over to the government office.

Now that the local government is unable to make ends meet, it is hoped that the government can allocate silver and two supports.

There were many discussions in the hall, and everyone had two polar opinions, some people thought that in the past, all the taxes collected by the government were handed over to the imperial court, and the local government did not leave a penny.

The adults are merciful, and the law of division is implemented, two percent will go to the county, one percent will go to the government, and the rest will be handed over.

According to the division method, the local government has money and grain at its disposal, and it is completely possible to resettle the displaced people.

Qian Bangqi and others believe that the local area has been greatly damaged by the scourge of the bandits, and the harvest of land is limited.

This time, the volunteers pursued and suppressed the rogues, seized millions of silver taels, and now not only have the ability to pay compensation, but if possible, they can completely exempt the local government from all kinds of taxes.

Yang Lin fell into deep thought, and said for a long time: "Everyone, the Ming Dynasty died in the disaster of the Liaodong Tartars, and in order to deal with the Liaodong Rebellion, the imperial court levy three salaries.

The resettlement of displaced people is directly related to local stability, and if these displaced people are left alone and unable to receive assistance, it is difficult to ensure that some of these brave and ruthless people will go astray again.

However, financial discipline must also be enforced, and in the present there is a shortage of troops, and problems like this will emerge one after another in the future, and if these financial disciplines are not strictly enforced, I am afraid that it will also cause difficulties in raising military salaries, and soldiers who have no money will plunder everywhere, and eventually cause even greater trouble.

In this way, from today onwards, different divisions can be implemented according to the length of time for each state and county to recover, and the local damage is serious.

Generally speaking, the first year is divided into 55%, 30% goes to the county, 20% goes to the state capital, and 50% is handed over.

In the second year, 64 points will be implemented, 2 into 5 will go to the county, 1 into 5 will go to the state capital, and 60 percent will be handed over.

In this way, the law of different divisions was implemented, and the local government also had money and grain to rebuild the government office, hire people of good character, and the local government also had money to resettle the displaced people and redeem the poor.

In this way, it will not take two years, just like what we saw in Shunqing Mansion and Pengzhou, except that the number of people is scarcer than in the past, the place is thriving, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. ”

Of course, this is not a result that satisfies everyone, just like Qian Bangqi is not very satisfied, the government has seized as much as one million taels of silver from the Liukou, why are the adults so stingy, and they are looking at the newly recovered money and grain from several states and counties.

Yang Lin has his own plans, of course the displaced people must be resettled, and no matter how short there is a shortage of resettlement costs, three buckets of rice can save a life (the ancient pension standard, half a raw rice a day, generally two months of food, and after being harvested in the field, you can support yourself), how much merit is this, and how much can it be guaranteed.

At present, the government implements a share of the shares, and the share of the government offices of the prefectures and counties has reached 50 percent, and even if the expenses of the government offices and the training of soldiers are deducted, there is still surplus money to purchase grain and resettle the displaced people.

In other places, the construction of the New Deal began, that is, the local use of the surplus to build roads, bridges, water conservancy, or the establishment of public schools.

The ancient Chinese liked to spread out everything, as a crossing clan, of course, they knew that everything had drawbacks, and nothing could be done in one step, and it needed to be implemented slowly.

The prefectures and counties have just been restored to establish government offices, restore local political power, and focus on resettle displaced people and stabilize people's hearts.

Last year, the magistrate of the county announced that he would subsidize 100 taels of silver to build a reservoir in the upper reaches of Liujiagou to ensure that the 2,000 mu of paddy fields downstream would be harvested from drought and flood, and that the more than 500 mu of dry land on the edge of the ditch could also be turned into paddy fields.

Of course, those who do not plant dealers do not know that paddy fields are precious, and one acre of paddy fields produces several times that of dry land.

Liu Xiucai didn't believe it at first, when did the Tian Fu and Ding Fu collected by the Yamen in the past be returned to the poor people?

In the past catastrophe years, the imperial court announced the exemption of taxes, and the county government set up one or two porridge sheds at most on the edge of the city, and cooked some porridge that could shine on the shadow and hang everyone's life.

Now the adults have announced that the taxes collected will be divided with the county government, and the county government will set aside part of the water conservancy construction, which is just a joke of youth, and it will not last for a year at most.

Sure enough, a few days ago, news came that the pressure on the resettlement of displaced people in various places was very great, and all the money and property in the local area had been used to resettle the displaced people, and the yamen had no money to continue building the reservoir.

Every time he looked at a 7,8-acre reservoir built on the top of the ditch, and looked at the dam that was rammed 5 feet high, Liu Yuanshan sighed again.

Now that it is time to farm again, Liu Yuanshan gathered a few squires around him and sighed: "Hey, folks, this reservoir has been repaired for more than half of it.

If we can build another winter like last year, everyone who will have any droughts and floods in the future will have something to eat, and there will be no need to worry about families starving to death. ”

Chen Dali, the largest landlord in the east of the village, thought of taking fifty or sixty acres of paddy fields downstream, gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Liu (honorific title for scholars), of course we have to repair it, and we will repair it if the yamen doesn't give money."

Last year, when you were in power, the government gave us money to repair the reservoir, but if other officials were in power, what would be such good governance?

It's just that this is a mess, and besides, the Tartars will enter the river sooner or later, I don't know if we can get benefits from this reservoir? ”

Li Chang He Shuming looked disapproving, and looked at everyone: "Fellow villagers, although the Tartars are hateful, but our adults are the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, and Zhang Xianzhong fled in the desert after three strikes and five divisions, what is there to worry about when the Tartars enter Sichuan?" ”

The landlord Chen Dali shook his head and said: "He Shuming, you just don't believe in evil, I heard them say that this Tartar is a descendant of the Dajin Kingdom, all with three heads and six arms, just like the Golden Vulture is very powerful." ”

Li Chang He Shuming said with a smile: "Chen Dali Chen Da Landlord, you are cowardly.

Didn't the book say that Grandpa Yue specialized in the golden vultures, our adults are the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, and Houjin is rampant first, and when the time comes, the adults will lead our volunteers to kill them, and the ones who divide by two will kill Houjin. ”

Seeing Chen Dali and He Shuming arguing endlessly, Liu Yuanshan shook his head again and again, and said vigorously, What's the use of you fighting for these?

Now we are talking about this reservoir, it seems that the government can't repair it, let's talk about what to do? ”

At this moment, hearing a burst of gongs and drums in front of them, everyone hurriedly walked out of the house to see, and a servant shouted while walking with a gong and drum: "The governor of the yamen announced that the division law remains unchanged, and the government of Liujiaba Reservoir will subsidize one hundred taels of silver to assist in the construction of the reservoir." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yuanshan couldn't believe his ears, shook his head again and again and said to everyone: "Everyone, the adults in the chaos of war still want to build a reservoir, this, this is too unexpected for the old man." ”

Li Chang He Shuming looked at everyone with a smile: "Everyone, I said, although Houjin is menacing, our governor is the reincarnation of Yue Wumu, otherwise how could he become a governor at a young age?" Otherwise, how would you think of building a reservoir for us? ”

Liu Yuanshan glared at He Shuming and said: "Since ancient times, the yamen has only collected taxes, and there are very few people who have used it to build water conservancy for everyone in the peaceful and prosperous times, not to mention this chaos?"

If that's the case, we, the Governor, are really ...... ”

Liu Yuanshan was a dead-eyed person, and he didn't settle down until he saw everyone shouting to repair the reservoir.

While calming the hearts of the people, the situation has also become more severe, while strengthening the training of regular troops such as volunteers and local militias, Yang Lin also pays special attention to the preparedness of various cottages.

Different from other places, in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the general Yu Jie, adopted the mountain city defense method, and the people in Si (Sichuan) all over the country spread the legend of how the local ancestors used the cottage to resist the invasion of the Mongol Tatars in the late Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition, as a traverser, of course, he knows more about the story of the anti-Japanese base area, and he is more aware of the dilemma faced in the face of the precipitous cottages in the era of cold weapons due to the lack of heavy weapons and long-range weapons.

Just when Yang Lin was defending against the difficult cottage, Zhang Xianzhong, who was retreating to northern Sichuan and was becoming poorer, actually gave the volunteers a rare and difficult opportunity.
