Qingshuizawa was originally a large lake, but later because the Yellow River had too much sediment, it gradually silted up, and the water level became lower. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info However, it stands to reason that the lake should still be there, but some people have built fields around the lake here for their own selfish interests.

After blocking the waterway along with the Yellow River, the lake gradually dried up and became a good fertile land. Of course, there are also some small bodies of water scattered around, like ponds, just stagnant waters. Occasionally, several canals pass through it, and they are connected in series, so that it does not stink.

A large amount of land has been reclaimed, and the sediment is very fertile, and as long as you cultivate it carefully, the harvest is still very good. Of course, it takes a lot of manpower to cultivate so much land. In the past few years on Hebei Road, there have been too many displaced people, and a lot of them have been grabbed, so as long as they beckon, someone will come.

Although the Great Song Dynasty had measures to recruit troops after the famine and reduce the number of displaced people. However, the frequency of disasters on Hebei Road in recent years is too high, and it is not something that can be solved by recruitment. The number of soldiers continues to expand, and the combat effectiveness may not have increased much, but the increase in military spending is not a little!

Therefore, after all, recruiting troops is not a long-term solution, and there is no way to completely eliminate disasters and stabilize the displaced people, so they can only be resigned. Sometimes, the officials and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty watched, but they were helpless. There are also homeless people, hungry and cold, and it seems that there are not a few hungry and sick people! Therefore, as long as there is a stutter and a chance to live, the displaced people will cherish it extraordinarily.

Today, there are many such displaced people in Shimizuzawa.

There is land here, although it is not theirs, but it can become a "tenant". However, the land of Shimizusawa is different from the outside. Not to tenants. Let them pay the rent. The lands still belong to their original owners. They are but long-term laborers hired by men. They were asked to plant grain, they were asked to harvest it, and finally they were given some rations as payment.

Right now, on Hebei Road, if you can stutter, your life is already good. So the displaced people who come here have no opinion, not only can they eat here, but they can also eat about the same, which is not good. But basically I won't go hungry.

It is based on this that the displaced people are willing to gather here, cultivate the land well, and fight for more food. Nowadays, there are many displaced people in Shimizuzawa, and some thatched huts have been specially built for them to live in, forming some small homeless villages.

At the gates of the huts in these villages, children are playing. They are not like those homeless children, their faces are yellow and thin, and their faces are somewhat bloody, which shows that their lives are not bad. From this point of view. Shimizu Ze encloses the lake to make fields, and it seems that there is still a little merit.

It's just that everything has to be seen in the long run. Looking at the big picture, it may be a good thing for these displaced people. But in reality? Why are they displaced? It's not just because of the flooding of the Yellow River, if it weren't for the flooding, their lives would be good, why would this be the case? In the final analysis, after all, it will do more harm than good, and it will be harmful to the entire Yellow River, and even more harmful to the people of Hebei Road.

But the simple people did not understand, they did not know that this was the case, and that the owner of the land was the culprit and had displaced them. On the contrary, they are somewhat grateful to the owners who took them in! In such a situation, it is inevitable that people will cry and laugh.

The children were playing, but the adults in the family were all out and busy. The owner pressed very hard and asked them to harvest as soon as possible. It was originally a three-day work, but now it has to be done in one day, and it is inevitable to get up early and be greedy for darkness, regardless of men and women, as long as they have the strength, all of them are dispatched.

Not far away from the crop geography, men and women are busy, women harvesting, men threshing, and then loaded into baskets, pick out the strange, outside a slightly wider road, there will be board carts to transport out. There are no oxen and horse-drawn carts, and they are all pulled by manpower. It can be seen that the man pulling the cart in front has a laborious expression, and behind him is a personal cart, which together transports the grain on the cart outside.

It's very hard, everyone's workload is three times as usual, and they don't know why the host family is in such a hurry. The rainy season has passed, and the weather will not be worse in autumn. Even if it is windy, it will not come until after late autumn, so why do you have to be in such a hurry?

They don't understand these things, they just know that if they don't have a livelihood here, they will go hungry. Although it was hard, I had to endure it and work hard. Besides, the host also said that as long as they get through this period of time, each family can get a few more buckets of grain.

This thought is enough to motivate them to persevere, but occasionally they want to rest but cannot. In the fields, there are many supervisors patrolling, and the supervision is very strict. It can be seen that this master is very powerful, and at the same time, he has a somewhat harsh feeling of working here, like a prisoner!

But what's the solution? For these homeless people, it is good to have something to eat, but where do they care so much. Nowadays, it is much better to be a prisoner with some dignity than to wander around in a precarious way.

On this day, the homeless people were in full swing of harvesting, but suddenly the sound of horses' hooves was heard, and then a large group of men and horses appeared. It seems to be the temperament of the government, what's wrong? What happened? A lot of people are a little frightened.

"Don't panic, just keep working!" That being said, there are also organic spirits in the overseers, especially those who have been instructed by the master's family in advance, and their faces immediately change a little, as if they have noticed something. At the moment, this place can no longer be covered, so the top priority is to report the news.

As a result, many people ran away, and occasionally there were a few high-ranking horses, and there was still a horse to use. Just turned over and got on the horse and didn't run far before being forced back, and there were cavalry from the imperial court on the periphery!

Lin Shilang and Li Zhizhou arrived with the box army!

Shimizusawa itself is a piece of evidence, mainly to look at it. When the time comes, with the rhetoric of Lin Zhao and Li Ru, plus the testimony of the soldiers, this matter cannot be wrong. Of course, at the same time, some so-called evidence and witnesses can also be seized, and when the time comes, it will be good to give an explanation to all the people involved, to Han Xianggong, to Hebei Road, and to the imperial court.

The men and women in the fields stopped, stunned as they watched the officials and soldiers hurrying in. Some even showed a bit of horror. Could it be that staying here is against the laws of the imperial court? Is the government going to arrest or drive people away?

The eyes of the people were complicated. This land is for them. It is extremely rare, and it is the foundation of their proud survival. If they lose, they will return to their former poor life as homeless, and they will have to start eating the last meal and not the next. They don't want that, they're nostalgic for it. They all looked at the officials and soldiers who came with their eyes, as if they were waiting for the verdict of life and death!

Lin Zhao saw clearly along the way, not to mention, Qing Shui Ze is indeed a good place. If it were not for the diversion of the Yellow River. It's good to be cultivated here. Now the original islands in the lake have become hills, the bottom of the lake has become land, the crops are growing well, and the people seem to be living in abundance.

However, it is not right to enclose the lake to create fields after all, and it can be known from ancient books and documents that there were originally many natural lakes and waters in the north. Why did they all disappear? There are climatic and hydrological reasons, so it must have disappeared into the hands of people, right?

Lin Zhao is naturally very aware of the impact of water lakes on the climate, which will directly affect the ecology. Therefore, this situation is absolutely not recommended, and if it can, it must be banned. The flooding of the Yellow River has caused a catastrophe due to ecological damage. People should be vigilant.

If protected from this moment on, a thousand years. The ecology of the Yellow River Basin should be restored well! In the future, he will be in charge of the Great Song Dynasty, and he must strengthen control in this regard.

Suddenly, Lin Zhao found another reason. A reason to replace Zhao Ji and sit on the dragon chair by himself. It's not just because of the inheritance of the Great Song Dynasty that he doesn't let the splendid rivers and mountains of the Central Plains encounter iron hooves to see him. It is also for the ecology of this land and the future of a nation......

This reason is absolutely good and great!

As for Shimizu Ze, since this is already the case, let's do this first! This time, as long as the Ergu River is repaired, as long as the Iron Claw Dragon and Junchuan Loquat are used properly, and the water flows smoothly, it doesn't matter whether there is this seriously silted clear water or not. After all, this is already the home of so many homeless people, and it is a little unbearable to make them homeless again!

Besides, it's a shame that there is so much fertile land! Now that it's been cultivated, let's keep it for now! Lin Zhao is very benevolent, he can completely call the shots in these things.

However, before that, the account of enclosing the lake and cultivating fields is still calculated! Especially the cofferdam in the Yellow River, don't think that if you dismantle it, you will forget it like this, these charges will definitely not escape!

"Folks, the officers and soldiers are dispatched to catch a few gangsters, and you just harvest as usual" Lin Zhao's words were passed out with the help of the soldiers of the Xiang Army.

"There's no need to rush, there's no need to rush, just come every day...... Half of this year's harvest will be given to the government, and half will be kept by yourself. ”

"Really?". When some homeless people heard this, they were immediately a little excited. Don't be in a hurry to harvest so hard, if no one is pressing, they are definitely willing.

As for food, they toiled for half a day, and could only get a small ration, barely enough to eat. But now the government says that half of the grain can be kept for themselves, which is ...... It was like a pie in the sky, and happiness came so suddenly that I couldn't react for a while.

"Is it true?". Some homeless people were surprised, and they have already begun to ask for confirmation!

"Nature is true!" Lin Zhaolang said: "Not only that, after the beginning of spring, the government will come to measure the land, and then divide the land to every family!" ”

What the? And to give them the land, what a surprise, a surprise, an infinite surprise! For them, land is the most important thing, and if they have a plot of land at home, the situation changes all at once. At that time, they will no longer be rootless duckweed, and they will be able to take root and live here.

Of course, in this way, it is certain that you will pay taxes to the imperial court or something. This is all a trivial matter, the land of Qingshuize is so fertile, what is planted and grown, and the small life will definitely be prosperous in the future.

After hearing it clearly, the people working in Shimizusawa suddenly became excited, and almost jumped up with joy. It's no longer a matter of making a living, it's a rhythm that can be lived and worked in peace. In this era, this is undoubtedly the most joyful thing for ordinary people.

Although this statement is not from the master, but from the government, this official has such a big formation, and his words should count.

They heard the official say in a loud voice: "This official is Lin Zhao, the squire of the Ministry of Works, and His Majesty the Emperor has appointed this official to control the Yellow River. This official assures you that the Yellow River will be well managed, and that it will not be affected by floods in the future, and that you do not need to be afraid, live in peace, and work hard to get rich. ”

Ministry of Works, what kind of official position is that? Probably for the vast majority of people, they only know Lizheng, the county order. However, the emperor knows that the awe of the imperial era is very common and significant, and the emperor has an unquestionable prestige. Since this official was sent by the emperor, he must not be wrong.

Could it be that the land here belongs to the government? Or did the master commit some crime and was arrested by the court? His land was also confiscated and confiscated? For a while, the homeless people had all kinds of speculations. But none of that mattered, and now they were all basking in the joy of getting the land......

Isn't that what the people want? Live and work in peace and contentment, but it is not easy to do it! Being an emperor is also a long way to go! I have this heart, but if I want to do it well in the future, it is not easy to estimate.

Do your best!

"Li Zhizhou, do it!"

Li Ru nodded and said: "There are people in Qingshuize who surround the lake to make fields, and the human and material evidence are all there, take it!" ”

Immediately, the soldiers of the Xiang Army stepped forward and tied up the overseers one by one, they were all witnesses, and their every word may have an extremely important role. At the same time, some grain is also sealed, which is the so-called stolen goods, and the most important thing is to get the stolen goods.

The next step is to investigate the owners of these lake-walled fields and hold those involved accountable. In this regard, there are some eyebrows in itself, and then pry something out of the mouths of these overseers. There is also Hu Xiucai, Lin Zhao is sure that he knows something, and now that he has proved his strength and courage, then he will definitely keep his promise.

Li Ru asked: "Lin Shilang, the matter of Qing Shui Ze is in order, but what about Bozhou City?" Do you want to start arresting people? ”

"Don't worry, Bozhou is a county in the belly, and they have nowhere to escape...... Besides, wouldn't it be better to sit down and abscond in fear of crime? ”。 Lin Zhao smiled lightly, one Han Jun and one general judgment are nothing. What Lin Zhao wants is to give an explanation to the imperial court, and what he wants is to give Han Xianggong a knife, which is enough!

Lin Zhao is very happy, Li Ru is very happy, and the displaced people of Qing Shui Ze are also happy! Everyone is so proud that they don't realize that the threat is quietly approaching! (To be continued......)
