Of course, Li Yanqing had to find a way to solve the immediate financial predicament, and the most realistic and reliable way was to exchange resources for resources, and to exchange the land resources controlled by the county government for money in the hands of businessmen, so as to tide over the immediate financial predicament, and then find a way to expand the source of government revenue, which was a convenient and effective way to solve the problem.

The businessmen were interested, stretched their necks one by one, held their breath, there was silence in the lobby, Li Yanqing said with a smile: "I don't know if you have the same feeling as me, that is, the land of the City God Temple is too wasteful to be vacant there, covering an area of sixty acres, and it can be built into a tile shop again, I plan to sell this land publicly, with one acre of land as a share, you can contribute to the purchase, the government has also solved the financial dilemma, and there is money to repay everyone's arrears. ”

The welcome hall suddenly exploded like a pot, the land on the side of the Chenghuang Temple is located in the center of the county, which can be said to be the most prosperous area in Jiayu County, who would not be greedy? After many years of anticipation, it was finally sold after the arrival of the new county order.

Yang Ju was taken aback, the county gentleman actually wanted to sell the land without discussing it with himself, that piece of land could not be sold, if it could be sold, it would have been sold long ago, he hurriedly whispered: "County gentleman, the sale of official land must be approved by the state, we also applied to the state to sell that land last year, but it was rejected." ”

"Why was it rejected?"

"Whether it is selling official land or official land, there must be a good reason, and we used the lack of money to supplement the public party as the reason, but the state just didn't agree."

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "That's because you don't know how to do things, I still use the same reason, and the state will approve it, do you believe it or not?" ”

Yang Ju thought about it and thought about it, last year, Wang County's order happened to expire his term, or promoted or transferred, at this critical moment he didn't want to cause more trouble, he was not active in the sale of land, and he would not fight for it if the state did not agree to sell the land, if Li Xianjun could fight again and again, there should still be a glimmer of hope, at this time, Yang Ju suddenly remembered that Li Yanqing was originally a servant of the imperial history, and he was very well-connected in the imperial court, or Zhizhou would really give him this face.

Thinking of this, he nodded happily and said, "If the state really agrees with us to sell the land, then the big problem will be solved." ”

At this time, the proprietor of the tea shop asked impatiently: "May I ask how much money is the county gentleman going to sell for one mu?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled and said: "Of course, it is sold according to the market price, the good seat is a little more expensive, and the seat is a little cheaper, if a piece of land is bought by several families, then it depends on who has the highest price, the day after tomorrow morning, a specific notice will be posted at the entrance of the county yamen, everyone can come and see, one thing you can rest assured, this land sale is absolutely fair, the county will never accept any favors, only recognize money!" ”

Everyone laughed, got up and said goodbye, the news quickly spread, everyone in the county government was excited, as long as the land was sold, the county would have money, and their salary problem would be solved.

Li Yanqing also sent people to find Yang Ju, the county magistrate, and Zhou Ping, the county lieutenant, together, and the three of them discussed the sale of land in detail.

Zhou Ping has been rolling in the Ezhou officialdom for more than 20 years, he obviously knows better how to deal with this matter, he said unhurriedly: "I said last year, the reason why Wang Zhizhou did not approve our application is because he is afraid of responsibility, not only the Jiayu County public party is not enough money, other counties are the same, in case the state approves Jiayu County, other counties will follow suit, the matter will be big, Wang Zhizhou of course can't afford this responsibility, so he will definitely not approve, I suggest simply not to the state, directly sell the land, and wait for the raw rice to be cooked, Wang Zhizhou has no choice, and he will not make a big deal out of it and make trouble for himself, and it will definitely be over in the end. ”

Li Yanqing nodded secretly, this Zhou Ping is a good person, and he sees the problem very thoroughly, and he underestimates him.

"It turns out that Zhizhou is also surnamed Wang, I don't know what he has to do with the former Wang County Commander of our county?"

"They have nothing to do with each other, Wang Zhizhou is from Huizhou, but Wang Xianling is from Kaifeng Prefecture, although they have the same surname, but the relationship between the two is not very good."

"Why?"

"Zhizhou is a scholar in the second year of Chongning, but the county order is not from a professional class, so he ....."

Li Yanqing smiled, "I understand, if you don't enter a door, it's difficult to become a person, right!" ”

"Exactly!"

At this time, Yang Ju next to him was worried: "Although selling land can solve temporary worries, what will I do in the future?" Without a long-term income, the fundamental problem cannot be solved. ”

Li Yanqing said with a smile: "I have a solution to the long-term open source method, and the key is that the immediate urgency must be solved first." ”

Yang Ju and Zhou Ping were overjoyed, "What is the best way for the county gentleman?" ”

Li Yanqing smiled slightly: "Our public land has 12,000 mu, and the annual tenant rent is only 4,000 guan, which is too low, if the tenant rent has an annual income of 10,000 guan, won't the problem be solved?" ”

Yang Ju and Zhou Ping glanced at each other, and Zhou Ping hurriedly said: "I'm afraid not, Jiayu County has a small number of people, fertile land is very cheap, and the tenant income is very low. ”

Li Yanqing said unhurriedly: "The biggest advantage of Gongfang land is that I don't have to pay taxes, then no matter what I plant, it will not affect the tax amount of this county, I can rent 12,000 acres of land to Baoyanzhai to plant flowers, and the profit of planting flowers is much more than farming, then I will collect a tenant rent of a consistent amount of money per mu of land every year, and 12,000 mu of land is 12,000 yuan, with this money, the tea subsidy for the two, the charcoal and firewood subsidy for the scribes, and the food subsidy for the servants and the catchers can be greatly increased, and we will sign a 20-year lease. Isn't the long-term deal coming? ”

Yang Ju smiled bitterly, "The problem is that Baoyan Zhai is willing to come and rent our land, they have several manors in Jiangxia, even if they want to rent, they will rent the land in Jiangxia County!" ”

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Whether Bao Yanzhai will come or not is in my words, if I am not sure, I will not propose this plan." ”

Li Yanqing didn't want to break the relationship between himself and Bao Yanzhai, he discussed the matter of auctioning the land with the two of them, and he handed over this matter to Zhou Ping, Yang Ju's scholar was a little heavier, Zhou Ping is not only a snake on the ground, but also a good person, he will get things done.

Of course, Li Yanqing has another layer of consideration, he seized Zhou Ping's military power, in order to appease him, it is best to give Zhou Ping a little benefit, so how to sell these lands, how to operate, let Zhou Ping do it himself, if Zhou Ping wants to leave one or two of the best land to his family, he Li Yanqing will only turn a blind eye.

As for his promise to the merchant to be fair and impartial, that is just an attitude, and no one will take it seriously, and no one will take it seriously.

........

In order to solve the urgent need, Li Yanqing first advanced 1,000 yuan to pay a month's salary, a month's salary of about 700 yuan, and another 300 yuan as a tea money subsidy to his subordinates, which is regarded as the welfare of the new official.

He took out a thousand yuan of money and exchanged it into copper coins at the money shop, and soon, a thousand copper coins were piled up on the small table in the courtyard, and all the clerks, officials, and catchers came one after another after getting the news.

One of the three redundancies of the Song Dynasty is the redundancy of officials, each county has more than one or two hundred people, and as little as thirty or fifty people all rely on eating official food for a living, and Jiayu County is a county, and there are nearly 100 people.

Generally speaking, the various personnel of the county government are divided into two categories: officials and servants, and officials refer to clerks, including staff members and Cao Cao's records, hand divisions, and posts.

The service is subdivided into three types, one is the official service, such as hand power, miscellaneous duties, liberation, foot power, etc.; The second is to catch fast, such as archers, blockers, special deputies, etc.; The third type is all kinds of professional deacons, including village scribes, buckets, scales, pickers, diggers, warehouses, post houses, and so on.

There are also some special people who also depend on the county for support, mainly those from government schools, government-run primary schools, and charitable institutions.

To feed so many people every month, the basic amount of money is 700 yuan, and there are all kinds of subsidies and poor materials, which add up to thousands of yuan.

The money allocated by the imperial court was pitiful, and it had to be solved by the counties themselves.

In the courtyard, Li Yanqing looked at the crowd and said: "I know that many brothers have to support their families, and they have not been paid salaries for three months, so everyone has been wronged, today I decided to sell the land in front of the Chenghuang Temple, solve all the debts of the county government, and also solve everyone's salaries, but it will take at least ten days to sell the land and collect money, maybe many brothers are waiting for the rice to be put into the pot, so I personally advanced a thousand yuan first, and gave everyone a month's salary first, and then gave everyone half an extra salary as tea money, which is a little bit of my heart, In the future, the open source will be successful, the county will have more income, and everyone's treatment will be improved, in short, with my Li Yanqing here, I will definitely not treat you brothers badly! ”

The courtyard suddenly cheered, whether it was a clerk, a catcher or a servant, all of them were very excited, because they couldn't get money to their families, they had suffered a lot in the past few months, and they went to blackmail the merchants, and the honest ones went to set up stalls at night, and life was not easy, Li Yanqing was sympathetic and took out his own money to pay them salaries, so how could they not be moved, on the first day of his office, Li Yanqing won the hearts of all his subordinates.

．．．．．．

In the courtyard, Mo Jun and Liu Fang were still sitting at the table crackling and fiddling with abacus to give money to everyone, but Li Yanqing returned to his official room, Li Yanqing's official room is located in the back hall, just at the end of the central axis of the county government, it is a small courtyard, the yard is very small, but there is also a rockery, planted with two plums, and there is a bush of fine bamboo in the corner of the house.

The front is three rooms, in the middle is Li Yanqing's official room, covering an area of at least thirty square meters, with tables, chairs and cabinets, and the one on the left is a clerical room, which should have two staff members who sort out the documents for him, and there is no suitable candidate yet.

On the right is the pantry, there should be a little tea boy who is responsible for running errands for their sencha, similar to Brother Ying of the former Yushitai, there is no suitable person at present, and now Li Yanqing wants to drink tea, and he has to let the tea boy of the county Cheng fry on his behalf.

Li Yanqing is sitting in the lobby to deal with some cases accumulated in the past, put them in a file bag, there are civil cases and criminal cases, from the bags can be divided into civil and criminal, ordinary white bags are civil cases, yellow bags with seals are criminal cases, relatively speaking, there are many fewer criminal cases, most of them are civil dispute cases, before he came, Yang Ju and Zhou Ping had already disposed of the simple cases, and the rest were some more difficult cases.

At this time, Zhou Ping walked to the door and said with a smile: "Can you disturb the county gentleman?" ”

Li Yanqing put down his pen and smiled: "Please come in!" ”

Zhou Ping walked in, handed a document to Li Yanqing and said, "This is a draft of land sale that I just drafted, please take a look at the county gentleman!" ”
