Chapter 475: There is wine today, and there is drunkness today
The officials of the Ming Dynasty actually had a ten-day holiday during the Spring Festival. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info In these ten days, Qin Li was enough to take Murong Bing back to the capital to reunite with a large family, but Qin Li did not do so.
In his opinion, he is new to Hejian Mansion, and he is not familiar with many things in Hejian Mansion, as a prefect, in fact, the most important thing is to really put the people in his heart. He especially enjoyed the feeling of the people bowing down to him. How to make the people respect themselves, love themselves, and become a good official in their hearts is the question that Qin Li has been thinking about the most these days.
I can go back to the capital and reunite with a large family without worry, but what will the people of Hejian Mansion do these days? The Chinese New Year period is also the time when problems are most likely to occur, and Qin Li really can't let go of the people of Hejian Mansion.
Therefore, Qin Li did not hesitate to decide that this Spring Festival was to be with the people.
At present, the people have some surplus food in their hands, and they also have some surplus money, and this year can be very easy. I don't know why Qin Li always feels unsteady. Anyway, these days have received a lot of money and grain from the landlords in various places, and the treasury of the Hejian Mansion is very loose and rich.
This is Qin Li's first Spring Festival in Hejian, and this Spring Festival must let the people have a good time. Qin Li thought about it a little, and asked Xu Wei to calculate all the current treasures of the treasury, and Qin Li immediately decided to send someone to Shandong to buy 10,000 pigs.
Chinese New Year, how can you do without meat? But now Qin Li was surprised to find that although the people had food and silver, the grain was the most ordinary rice and noodles after all. There is silver but there is no place to spend it, no wonder, all over the country has been occupied by the landlords for so long, and the markets in various places have long been deserted.
The prosperity of a place can be seen from the market alone, but there is nothing in the market at the moment, what does this mean? It shows that the people are poor in their bones, and they are now in a situation of sitting on empty seats.
Xu Wei, as the master of Hejian Mansion and Qin Li's right-hand man, glanced at Qin Li in surprise, and said softly, "Boss, this is inappropriate, there is indeed a lot of money and grain in the treasury, but spending so much money to buy fat pigs, the pork will be gone after eating, and the money and grain will never come back, so acting in this way is inevitably a bit too wasteful, too arrogant, and too reckless!" ”
In Xu Wei's heart, Qin Li is a very capable person, Rao is Xu Wei's talent, and he is also a five-body thrower who admires Qin Li, and is willing to respect Qin Li as the boss. But Xu Wei is also a straightforward person, after all, he has not been in the officialdom for a long time, and in many cases Xu Wei cannot hide the true activities in his heart, but what is boldly said.
On the one hand, Qin Li values Xu Wei's talent, and on the other hand, he appreciates Xu Wei's truth. There is no obscurity, and he will say whatever he has in his heart, and only in this way can he be suitable to be his master and help him do a good job in Hejian Mansion.
"Huh! Brother Xu Wei thinks too much, people should look forward, money is for spending, not for saving. No matter how much silver you save, it won't give birth to cubs. Therefore, if you have money, you will spend it, and if you are blessed, you will enjoy it. This means that the money has been spent, and it can be returned. If you can't spend it, you will always live with a little silver, and this Hejian Mansion will never get rich!
Brother Xu Wei, don't say anything, just do as I say, this Spring Festival, I, Qin Li, will let everyone in Hejian Mansion eat meat and dumplings. Qin Li said very firmly.
Xu Wei also knows Boss Qin's temperament, and since Boss Qin has decided something, it is difficult to change it. But as his assistant, he must express his worries.
……
Qin Li has never liked to drag mud and water in his work, and he also asks of his subordinates. So all the people who went to Shandong to buy fat pigs returned eight days later. 10,000 fat pigs, that's not a small number. Although relatively speaking, Shandong is now slightly richer than Hejian, but it is obviously impractical to say that people should raise pigs. It's no wonder that people are very nervous about eating, where is there surplus grain to feed the pigs?
Fat pigs are all bought from large families in Shandong. When the big households in Shandong saw that someone was buying so many pigs, they were naturally overjoyed. In addition to the joy, they naturally increased the price of fat pigs. However, although the price of fat pigs was twice as high as last year, they were still surprised to find that these people spent money without any ambiguity, and almost did not even talk about the price, but bought fat pigs.
It's no wonder that 10,000 fat pigs, how many fat pigs can there be in the entire Shandong Province? This is the rhythm of hollowing out the fat pigs in Shandong Province.
There are a lot of smart big families who immediately saw the difference, the price of fat pigs has risen sharply, and more piglets must be left this year, waiting for next year to grow into fat pigs, hehe! It's going to sell for a good price again.
The people sent to Shandong to buy fat pigs came back, and they brought back 10,000 fat pigs. Qin Lixuan even asked Xu Wei and the others to distribute these fat pigs. There are a total of 10 counties in 2 states, and there are 3 counties under each of the two states, so it should be 16 counties. 10,000 pigs were distributed to each county, and each county received more than 600 pigs.
Qin Li strictly ordered all the magistrates to bring these fat pigs back and slaughter them as soon as possible. Calculate the population of the county, and distribute all these pork evenly according to the capita, so as to achieve fairness and evenness. There must not be any interception in the county. Qin Li said very clearly, that is, to let the people live a Spring Festival with meat to eat.
Today is the twenty-first day of the lunar month, and the Spring Festival is coming soon, slaughtering fat pigs and distributing pork must be carried out as soon as possible. The magistrates and governors all took away the fat pigs with smiles on their faces. They secretly thought that the new prefect Lord Qin was really a good official, and he let the people eat meat in the first year. But this year, I ate meat, and it was all because of the silver obtained from fighting the local tyrants and dividing the fields, what about next year? Next year, there will be no landlord Haoqiang to be eliminated, Lord Qin does not know how to save, so he does not know how to live, the people of this Hejian Mansion used to live in the water and fire, and I am afraid that they will not even be able to drink gruel in the future, I am afraid that they will become homeless! Lord Qin, this kind of way of getting drunk today is really flattering.
However, he is only a prefect, so where does he have the right to disobey the prefect's orders? There is no other way but to implement it seriously.
In short, everyone has an opinion on Qin Li's approach, and they are all very optimistic about Qin Li.
Qin Li naturally knew everyone's opinions very well and everyone's hearts, but Qin Li didn't care, Cheng Tian was a gentle face, and handed over the government affairs of Hejian Mansion to Xu Wei, he just asked about some important things.
Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it is the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and there are two more days before the Spring Festival. Qin Li got up early this day, and called Zhou Fan, Yu Dayou, Murong Bing and the others to leave the mansion, which is the rhythm of another private visit. (To be continued.) )
