More than half a month has passed since Shen Yun took office.

Shen Yun's impression on the people of Anhua County is an extremely contradictory feeling. When he encountered the Kuang family, he chose to retreat, but when he arrived at the county school, he looked strong. If you want to say that Shen Yun bullies the soft and is afraid of the hard, it is reasonable to say that offending the reader is actually the same as offending the rich man.

So now the large and small forces in Anhua County, including the government office, have only one evaluation of Shen Yun, that is, they can't guess.

Yes, don't talk about these outsiders, even Jin Changling, who has been staring closely behind Shen Yun, can't figure out what Shen Yun wants to do. So Xu Song still looked arrogant, after all, even if Shen Yun cleaned up the county school, he still couldn't clean up his head. And Jin Changling is still very humble on the surface, doing whatever Shen Yun tells him to do, and the atmosphere of the county government is more calm than when Shen Yun first came.

It's just that under this calm, no one knows how much wind and waves are hidden.

Shen Yun did not relax his vigilance because of this calmness, and stepped into the officialdom, if he did not guarantee his vigilance at any time, he would be plotted sooner or later. Imagine that many years later, a person like Su Shi will be pulled into the braid of poetry and almost die. It is conceivable that being an official is also a very dangerous thing.

The purchase and sale of tribute was agreed with Shen Yun, and the merchants of Anhua County were naturally happy after they returned. Obviously, through the manufacturing industry, especially the normative manufacturing industry formed under the forced intervention of Shen Yun, the effect of stimulating the local economy is surprisingly good. In just a few days, many merchants joined forces and built a workshop for washing flowers and felt outside the city.

Washing felt is a very technical thing, but there is no shortage of such craftsmen in Anhua. Moreover, in addition to technical work, there is also some pure manual labor, and at this time the idle people have opportunities.

Judging from the situation reported by these businessmen on their own initiative, at least 200 people have been solved at this time.

For Shen Yun, this was enough.

Just wait for the first batch of felt to pass the inspection at the end of the month, and the county government will gradually receive the commercial tax brought by the felt. What's more, there are still some things that have not been started on the county government's side. After several of the elected business representatives left the county office, Shen Yun smiled a little and wrote on a piece of paper his first notice of Anmin since he took power in Anhua County.

The new official took office with three fires, but Shen Yun didn't want to burn this third fire for the time being. Now his majesty in the county is enough, what is lacking is only the trust of the people, and the third fire that Shen Yun wants to burn is obviously not yet time.

At the beginning of June, the weather in Anhua County also became hot. However, what makes more people anxious is that it is about to usher in a time of scarcity. For ordinary people, the period before the autumn harvest is the most difficult, Shen Yun is well aware of this truth, although Gyeongju as a whole defended the city well last year, but it is inevitable that some families will become exceptions.

Shen Yun's purpose in writing this notice is to ensure that there will not be a single hungry person before the autumn harvest this year.

Although, it's a bit harder.

When the messenger posted the notice in front of the notice board near the county office and the two gates of the county seat, the people of the city gathered around. There may be many people who are illiterate, but the first notice posted by Xinzhi Prefecture cannot be missed.

Naturally, some zealous scholars read the notice.

"Tell the people of Anhua, since the county took office, I deeply feel the difficulties of Anhua Shengli. In order to distribute the wealth in the county to help the poor, the following is hereby announced. ”

The first thing Shen Yun released made many people breathless: "Since the founding of the country, Anhua yellow wax has been used as a tribute. Today, the county will recruit 100 people to go to the proven yellow wax mine to open mines. One pound of rice per person per day, the salary is 20 Wen, and the salary is paid in cash on the same day, and those who are interested can go to the county government to register. Those who are in difficulty at home are given priority, and I hope you will spread the word. ”

One pound of rice, in fact, for a strong laborer, can already be fed, and if you pay twenty wages, you can basically feed a family with wages. Many people were excited.

And the second thing, although it had no effect on these onlookers, the scholars who read the notice understood that this Anhua was about to set off a monstrous wave.

"Before the autumn harvest, the county will personally bring people to drink tea and town-walled fields, but there are more than five years of ownerless wasteland, and will recruit innocent and interested tenants to settle in Chongning households, and distribute them to Yongye Field. This order will come into force immediately, but if there is an obstruction, the punishment will be severe. ”

Tenants are those who do not have a hukou and no land, and who have to farm for the landlord's family in order to make a living. Compared with Chongning households, the life of tenants is much harder. Regardless of the harvest, after the taxes are paid, the general harvest must be handed over to the landlord. The burden of life is not insignificant.

Many of the people in the city who borrowed usury were this kind of people, who were already living in difficulty, and with the interest of doubling or even more, they accumulated over time, and in the end they could only pay their debts with death.

Fortunately, although the tenants are no-workers, they still have basic personal freedom. If Shen Yun's tenants were blocked by the landlord when he was granting the land, Shen Yun would have a very good reason to turn around and clean up these guys. You must know that it is clearly written in the penal system that if the tenant is prevented from leaving, the landlord will accept a cane of 60 strokes.

And granting land to settle down, this is something that many tenants can't ask for, Shen Yun is confident that except for those deserters and fugitives, no one is unwilling to become a Chongning household. In this way, the actual taxes collected in the county can increase, and the population will also increase. A year ago, the new policy issued an edict that if the county governor could increase the population of the county by more than 100 households during his tenure, he could reduce the number of households in the county by one year.

Shen Yun has turned more than fifty percent of the tenants in Anhua County into Chongning households, and this year, he has reduced it.

After the second article was finished, Shen Yun's third article made many people's eyes red: "This year, the interest rate of the Qingmiao loan was reduced by 20%, and the people in the county did not accept it, and the county general gave thousands of dollars and 500 stone of grain, and lent it at low interest for poor families, and each family was limited to 160 yuan of money, or three buckets of grain." Those who impersonate will be severely punished. ”

Shen Yun took out more than half of the money and grain held by Cangcao to do this, and I have to say that this time Cangcao was in pain. However, when Shen Yun promised to fill most of the treasury within four months, the old man still did not continue to make trouble.

The people who read the notice are going crazy.

At this time, I just want to go to the county government as soon as possible to try and see if I can borrow money and food on my own terms. However, more people are silently going home, and instead of borrowing money, simple people still like to make money through their own strength. The matter of opening a mine that Shen Yun said made many people moved, and they were just waiting to make an appointment with a few friends, and they were going to the county office to sign up.

And at this time, Jin Changling also came to say: "County Zun, the county school has been repaired, and the old Confucian we agreed on has also begun to urge." You see, is it an auspicious day to inform the county that the county school will be reopened. Thinking of such a good reputation being earned by Shen Yun, Jin Changling felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Now it's getting harder and harder to get Shen Yun.

Shen Yun was naturally very happy. The reopening of the county school is a very important thing for Shilin in Anhua County, which represents the influence of the entire Shilin in expanding its influence to the outside world and represents the prestige that countless people dream of. At the same time, it also represents that Shen Yun's position in Anhua Shilin is gradually consolidated, and his future planning will be smoother and smoother.

"In this case, Jin County will find someone to calculate an auspicious day, and then post a notice and send out invitations. Let's let the whole Gyeongju know that Anhua County would rather let the county government be dilapidated than repair the county school; Our officials in Anhua would rather take out their own Lu rice to let the students of the county school have no worries about food and clothing. ”

Gyeongju is also famous in the educational circles of later generations. When Shen Yun saw a news story back then, it was said that the government here would rather live in a bungalow in the 80s, and insisted on building a teaching building for the local middle school. Moreover, soil erosion was serious in later generations, and even if the people of Gyeongju were tired and tired, they still wanted their descendants to study.

The shock of this spirit to Shen Yun was quite great, so when he came to this place, since he wanted to rectify and educate, then he had to implement this set thoroughly. What's more, now everything is inferior, only reading is high, presumably under the influence of this kind of thinking, the people of Gyeongju will not be much worse than those people in later generations.

Three days later, the miners' registration and the people's loans were handed over to Hu Cao and Cang Cao, and Shen Yun took Jin Changling to the gate of the county school.

For Tujili, the plaque in front of the county school was covered with red silk. At this time, the famous Confucian scholars of Gyeongju, the students of the county school, and the people who came to watch were full of streets that usually could not pick up a single person. When he heard that Shen Yun's carriage and horse were coming, he also squeezed for a while before he made way for a way.

The students of the county school naturally elected a few and followed behind Ruluo Jirong, who had already been finalized. Seeing Shen Yun get out of the carriage, he greeted him: "Shen Xianzun is here, please, everyone is waiting for you to unveil the county school, and then lecture the county school students." ”

Shen Yun nodded, and in the compliments of the old Confucian and the scholars, he walked to the door of the county school. When the master of ceremonies said, "The auspicious time has come", Shen Yun easily pulled down the red silk covering the plaque.

Immediately, Zhengse said to everyone onlookers: "Everyone, today's county school is newly opened, and Shen has a few heartfelt words, not vomiting or unhappy." ”

The cheering people instantly fell silent, and they wondered what this early 20-year-old county magistrate wanted to say.

"When I first came to Anhua County, what caught my eye was the dilapidated state of the county government. Although the predecessor Jiang Zhixian did not dare to repair it because of the reputation, Shen felt that the county government was the façade of the heavenly family, and it was so dilapidated that it really lost the face of the official family. However, when I saw the county school, I suddenly changed my mind. ”

"The official family has a small face, but I am a big Song Ji. If every county school in the world is like Anhua, and in the long run, education will be abolished, what kind of people will my Great Song Dynasty hand over to in the future? ”
