The sun of June shines on people's bodies, and there is a scorching burn.

Even in such weather, Shen Yun still handed over the affairs of the county to Jin Changling, but he came to Yele Town with a part of the errand soldiers. That's right, it is Yele Town, where the Kuang family is located, Shen Yun endured it for a long time, and at this time, he finally couldn't help it and wanted to attack the Kuang family.

In order not to reveal any rumors, when Shen Yun left, he informed the whereabouts of many officials in the county that the city was walled. However, halfway through, he forced the officers to turn around and come in the direction of Benye Lezhen. The errand officer complained in his heart, but because of Shen Yun's power, he still obediently chose to obey.

In fact, the situation in Gyeongju is not much better than that of Qinju.

In some places along the way, where the water conservancy collapsed, many acres of fields were abandoned, and it was not until four miles away from Yele Town that I saw scattered crops. Further on, the crops converge into patches.

Walking to a place one mile away from Yele Town, Shen Yun chose to get out of the car and walk. He hasn't had a good look at this year's crops. Now that you have a closer look, you can get ready for the upcoming autumn harvest.

The wheat has been tasseled, and its color is much greener than before. Although the size of the ears of wheat made Shen Yun a little unoptimistic, according to Hu Cao, this was already quite a good situation. If you think about it, it is true that the ears of wheat that are eight or nine centimeters long in later generations were only produced when science developed to a certain extent.

Now it's five or six centimeters, which is already very good.

Seeing that the sun was about to reach the top of his head, and looking back at the errand soldiers, who were sweating profusely, Shen Yun also wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said to the errand officers: "When you get to the town, find a tavern to eat first." In the afternoon, we will find the supervisor again, and ask him to invite the elders from each village to inform him of the inventory of the fields. Starting tomorrow, let's officially start. ”

Seeing that Zhixian invited wine, these errands were finally a lot happier. Hurried to the town, amid the curious eyes of a group of people, he found a tavern and sat down.

When the shopkeeper of the tavern saw Shen Yun and the others, he came over to entertain him in fear: "A few officials, I don't know what to eat?" The small shop only sells some mutton and water wine, and if you want to eat some good food, you should allow the small ones to buy them elsewhere. "I'm afraid that my store is small and the hospitality is not good, so I will provoke these officials and make them trouble. Therefore, the business of the store should be explained clearly as early as possible.

Shen Yun smiled when he saw this: "It's okay." In this way, you see that there are more than ten of us, each of whom has two catties of mutton and one catty of water and wine. By the way, let's make a few bowls of water and quench our thirst. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and ran to the back to prepare. Shen Yun said with a smile at this time: "It seems that our ordinary prestige is too strong, but it makes these people so frightened. ”

When a few errand officers heard this, their color changed in an instant, and they thought that Shen Yun was going to clean them up, so they replied in a low voice: "But we come to the town every year to collect taxes, and we have to pretend to be evil, so as to deter those treacherous guys." Over time, the people thought that we were born like this. Even if you look better, it will scare people. ”

The words of the servants were mixed, but Shen Yun did not pursue it: "I don't mean to beat you when I say this." It's just a casual remark. It's hard work for you to collect taxes, and I won't blame you. After a while, when the sale of flower felt and yellow wax has some effect, the county can consider giving you more money every month, which can be regarded as a reward for you. ”

Instead of being scolded for this, he mentioned that he wanted to send money to himself and others. Such a good thing, how not to make the errand officer excited, stood up and thanked Shen Yun.

Shen Yun nodded, accepted the gratitude of the messengers, and just as the store brought the tea, Meimei drank a bowl, and then said meaningfully: "The official messenger does not have the Lu rice issued by the imperial court, and usually searches a few on the people, but I know it very well in my heart. In the future, the county will gradually bear your monthly salary, and you will be rewarded according to your merits, so in the future, you will not reach out to the people. ”

First the benefits were promised, and then the advice was given. Although Shen Yun's methods were immature, they were very effective in the hands of these errand officers.

As soon as the wine and meat were served, another group of people came outside the tavern. The official at the head was also wearing a green uniform, but the color was lighter than Shen Yun's. Hurriedly walked in, saw Shen Yun, and stepped forward: "Jianye Lezhen Tea and Salt Tax, Li Qing, meet the county honor." The news is closed, and there is a disappointment, and the county is asked to forgive the sin. ”

Li Qing is a middle-aged man in his thirties, in charge of tea tax and salt tax, which can be regarded as a fat poor, so his small life is not bad. Although he has never been so rich that a few folds have grown on his chin, he is strong and does not look like a civil official.

"Supervisor Li is polite, and the county is also interested, and wants to go to Yele Town for a walk, and take a look at the household registration fields of Yele Town. Come on, come, and have something to eat with us, and then we'll talk to you later. ”

The friendly words made Li Qing stunned for a moment, and then sat in the position that Hu Cao had given up, watching Shen Yun instruct the shopkeeper to cut some mutton again, and then with a somewhat reluctant smile, he followed Shen Yun to eat.

After being full of wine and food, Shen Yun was taken by Li Qing to the public office in Yele Town. Unlike Jiang Zhixian, Li Qing is a person who enjoys life, not to mention that this public house is not very big, so this place is quite tidy. When he arrived at the back hall, Li Qing humbly let Shen Yun sit on the main seat, and then asked a little cautiously: "County Zun, I just said that I want to come to see the household registration fields in the town, and the lower officials will go to get the dossier documents." ”

"Supervisor Li, there's no need. This time, the county came and brought all the files of the county about Yele Town. Send someone to tell the elders of all the villages in the town, and let them come here. I have something to discuss with them. ”

Hearing Shen Yun's words, Li Qing was slightly tempted: "County Zun, but as the notice said the day before yesterday, check the acres of land?" ”

Now that the person has arrived here, Shen Yun no longer conceals it, and nodded: "Not bad." Two simple words, but Li Qing felt the undoubtedness in Shen Yunhua.

Since Shen Yun had a life, Li Qing had no choice but to hurriedly go out and send out all the errands in the public office. Then he returned to the back hall and accompanied Shen Yun to drink tea and chat.

More than an hour passed in a hurry, and more than a dozen mule carts came from different directions in front of the public office. The people sitting in the car were all old men accompanied by errand officers. When all these people walked into the front hall, Shen Yun, who had been informed, brought Li Qing and Hu Cao to the front hall.

More than a dozen old people were talking at this time, and they were also quite curious when they saw a young official actually walking in front of Li Qing. Just when he didn't know what to call Shen Yun, Li Qing reminded: "This is my new magistrate of Anhua County, and he is now a scholar." Why don't you come and see you soon? Shen Yun's face is indeed young, even if these old people bow down, what they think about is still his age.

"Everyone, please get up, Supervisor Li, and let the servants take a seat for everyone."

Shen Yun greeted like this, watched everyone sit down, and then said: "I came here today to inform you that the county will re-check the acres of land from today. The general method, and I will listen to you. First of all, the land that has no owner, but is cultivated, can be considered as reclamation in the county. As long as the number of acres of barren land does not exceed half of Yongye field, the county can register and make a register for you, and the tax on barren land will be halved this year, and the tax will be collected in full next year. ”

The ownership of the wasteland is uncertain, so Shen Yun can be regarded as a benefit to the cultivators. As long as it is registered, it is protected by the government.

"Secondly, if the owner's land is occupied without cause, the land shall be returned to the owner's family unconditionally, and compensation shall be made for the period of land encroachment. Those who refuse to repay will be treated as theft. ”

This one scared a lot of people. Theft is a felony, and whoever wants to be reprimanded with a rod and exiled for it. I have to say that Shen Yun's words made these old people redefine Shen Yun in their hearts. I thought this person was very benevolent before, but who would have thought that his wrist was so ruthless.

After finishing the second article, Shen Yun began to say the third article: "If the owner of the land has been found to have died during the inventory, or has been abandoned for more than three years, the land must be returned to the county, and a group of tenants will be recruited to be converted into Chongning households after the autumn." You will be responsible for supervising these people and reconciling their relations with the villagers. ”

After Sanjo finished speaking, he even began to look at these people with a smile.

Seeing that no one wanted to say anything, Shen Yun nodded: "Okay, after that, let's talk about what Yele Town needs the county to do for you." Whether it is education, water conservancy, or the widows and lonely people in any village who need some money and food from the county, they can talk about it openly. ”

When it comes to this, some people really stand up and speak.

It was an old man in his fifties who spoke. I think it's also a long time of working in the fields, gray hair, and a face full of furrows. A pair of cloudy eyes looked at Shen Yun, and said with a bit of urgency: "County Zun, the little old man is also forced to do so. The ditch in our Bei'an Village really needs to be repaired. ”

Shen Yun's eyes lit up, and finally someone dared to speak. Deng Shi Wen comforted: "Old man, you should talk carefully." ”

"Our Yele Town is built according to the water of Yanqing. It's just that there are more than ten villages in the town, and it is impossible for every village to fall around Yanqing Shui. Even if our Bei'an Village is the most unlucky one, it is four miles away from Yanqing Water, and there is a small mountain in the middle. The canals we used before were all left over from the time of Fan Xianggong. But after so many years, the ditch has long been destroyed by an earlier earth movement. ”

Shen Yun understood.

The ditch of four miles is not big, but it is not small. Especially since you have to go through a small hill, this amount of work is not something that a small village can afford. Nodding, Shen Yun agreed: "Old man, how do you see this, after the autumn harvest, this county will send fifty stone of grain and one hundred taels of silver to recruit you Bei'an Village and nearby villagers to rebuild the ditch, how about this?" ”
