Chapter 187: Seedlings Law

It wasn't until the fourth watch summed up the data that we learned that a total of 11,327 displaced people had arrived in Huangzhou today, including 6,532 males and more than 3,800 old and weak breasts.

By the time Huang Jie walked out of the yamen with a stack of papers and a yawning Cao Bao, it was already dark, but today's errand for Huang Jie was over, and all matters related to relief would be taken over by the officials in Huangzhou.

In fact, when Cao Zhizhou fell from the city, all the officials in the city, including Yao Zheng, made a mess, or Huang Jie made a quick decision, and volunteered to take him down from the city to check his injuries.

Seeing this situation, Yao Zheng and others in the city naturally acted step by step in accordance with the regulations of the previous relief, and only then did the relief work in an orderly manner.

Now, since the more than 10,000 people outside the city have been pacified, the next step of relief will naturally have to be accepted by the government officials, otherwise Huang Jie will really keep working, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to get into a lawsuit in the future: a student came forward to dispose of the relief on behalf of the government, saying that the good thing is that this student is talented, and the bad thing is that all the officials in Huangzhou are idle and difficult to take on big responsibilities.

Cao Bao didn't close his eyes all night, and now after the excitement passed, he was naturally tired and wanted to die, so Huang Jie simply helped him sit on the street, and asked a passer-by to go to Shihui Street to spread the word, and then looked through the account book in his hand.

This account book is the statistical data that he specially asked Hu Yu to specially select and transcribe yesterday, and it is impossible to record these data according to the previous procedures and regulations of the Yamen, but because Huang Jie specially greeted him, Hu Yu also recorded and filed them according to his requirements.

It can be seen from the data that in this first batch of displaced people, only 10 percent of the elderly men and women over the age of 55 were born, 70 percent of the young men and women between the ages of 15 and 55 were 7 and a half, and half of the children were born.

If you think about it, the composition of this kind of homeless people is reasonable, and it is precisely because you are young and strong that you can walk in front, and the better your physical strength and the farther you go, the higher the chance of survival and success. And it can also be inferred from this that the next wave of displaced people must be many and old, which means that there may be another epidemic to follow.

From the third watch last night to the present, Huang Jie sat in the meeting hall of the Huangzhou Mansion to listen to Yao Zheng and the officials of the departments to make targeted arrangements and arrangements for various issues of relief.

Of course, Yao Zheng found an opportunity to explain to Huang Jie afterwards that today's regulations, the so-called emergency plans, were actually built during the Shenzong Dynasty (1067-1085), and they are naturally becoming more and more perfect today.

As for the matter of absorbing these displaced people as tea farmers and tea households, Yao Zheng also found out the regulations, but it was a relic of the Zhezong Dynasty, and he was afraid that it would not be useful. Huang Jie took a look, but found that what his uncle found was actually Wang Anshi's Qingmiao method, but after a closer look, it was very different from the Wang's Qingmiao method that he had read in the Di newspaper before, and then he asked carefully to know that there are now three versions of this Qingmiao method, Wang's original Qingmiao method is version 1.0, and Shenzong began to push it, and later because of personal grievances and other reasons, Song Shenzong dismissed Wang's original Qingmiao method. As a result, when it came to the Zhezong Dynasty, Song Zhezong used Sima Guang to be the prime minister, and Sima Guang changed his appearance to make a 2.0 version of the Qingmiao method, but after arriving in this dynasty, Cai Jing felt that the 2.0 version of the Qingmiao method was not good enough, and made a 3.0 version.

What is the Seedlings Law, it is really too long to talk about, in short: agricultural loans!

In the year of disaster and famine, farmers will not be able to carry out agricultural production because they do not have the funds to buy seeds and production materials, which in turn will lead to famine flight and migration of people. In order to prevent the peasants from fleeing the famine, the government also lent cash money, grain, seeds, and cattle to the peasants to help themselves, and collected principal and interest at a certain rate.

In the second year of Xining (1069), Wang Anshi implemented the Qingmiao Law, stipulating that households in Fanzhou County could borrow cash or grain from the local government to subsidize farming before the summer and autumn harvest every year. The borrower is rich and poor, and ten people are guaranteed to check each other. The amount of the loan is divided into five classes according to the assets of each household, and the first-class households can borrow 15 yuan each time, and the last-class households are consistent. In that year, the loan was repaid with the spring and autumn taxes, and the interest was two cents per period, and the actual weight was three or four cents.

Don't be surprised to see this, agricultural loans and credit model villages and model households in the vast rural areas today are indeed leftovers from the Song Dynasty!

So, the question is, since there are three versions of this Qingmiao Law, why not use the latest version now, but find out the legacy of the Zhezong Dynasty?

This is because ...... Cai Jing's 3.0 version of the Seedlings Law is really too cheating!

To put it simply, the previous version was all voluntary loans, and a certain amount of money could be borrowed depending on the level of creditworthiness.

And Cai Jing's version is: 1. Loan targets are issued to local governments, and farmers have to borrow whether they need it or not! Second, the more land or industry a farmer has, the greater the amount of compulsory borrowing! Third, if they can't afford to pay it back, the peasant households have to use the converted houses and land properties to mortgage the government to repay the debts, and if they can, they will be forced to lend more loans to the peasant households next year!

Some viewers may say that even the banks of later generations would not dare to do this, but this is a real thing, think about the previous mention of Cai Jing's plan to change the Jiaozi to make a fortune for money, and the matter of preparing to change the tax law of salt tea and iron with a big brain, you know that Cai Jing can do this!

Therefore, if you say that you want to use Cai Jing's version 3.0 of the Seedlings Law to lend to the homeless, so that the homeless people can settle in Huangzhou as tea farmers or tea households, will they agree? Don't jump up immediately to rebel and kill the dog officer!

Therefore, Yao Zheng could only find the fair Zhezong Dynasty 2.0 version of the Qingmiao Law to see if he could use it as a basis to attract displaced people to settle down temporarily.

But it was said that when Huang Jie was sitting on the side of the street looking through the account books and was thinking nonsense, he saw Fushou leading a mule cart with a covered cover to hurry up.

Just as he was about to get up to say hello, Wan Chunnu leaned out of the mule cart and said with a panicked face: "Husband, I can find you, Yan Nu is about to give birth!" ”
