387 is eclectic in employing talents

(More than 8,000 words in two chapters, let's ask for something)

"Alright, get up! Get up! Lian Zining said loudly: "This official still has something to announce!" ”

"At this time, the weather is freezing cold, I see that many of you are not clothed, just now I opened He Yunyan's warehouse, and found that there are a lot of clothes and food in it, this official announced, every family in the Qileni Guard, with the household registration as evidence, can come to the prefect's yamen to claim a stone of rice, two cotton jackets!"

When this order was announced, the people were naturally extremely grateful. （）

He Yunyan didn't even pay attention to the tattered household goods that He Yunyan had accumulated, but giving these things to the people made the entire people of Qileniwei grateful to Dade.

Although it has only been an hour since he occupied this place, Lian Zining's prestige has reached its peak here.

Yesterday the weather was gloomy for a whole day, but today it was miraculously clear, and the sun shone down, blocking a layer of gold for his tall figure dressed in a big coat, and in the eyes of the people, he was as tall as a god.

The people of this era really don't ask for much, if you can be a little nicer to them, they will be grateful to Dade.

Then, Lian Zining whispered to Shi Dazhu: "Go and invite the first few people to come to the mansion to see me." ”

Lian Zining returned to the mansion, and as soon as he sat down and drank a cup of tea, Shi Dazhu brought people over.

"Several, please!" Shi Dazhu opened the wooden door carved from mahogany and said with a smile.

It's just that he is an iron-blooded soldier, and his smile is inevitably a little stiff and cold, which makes the people who were invited a little apprehensive.

They walked in cautiously, and when they saw Lian Zining sitting there, they quickly knelt down and claimed to have seen their uncle.

Lian Zining stood up, walked to their side, helped them up with a smile, and said, "You're welcome, sit down!" ”

Those people were flattered, their faces were full of panic, their heads were lowered, their waists were hunched, and they were smiling with a smile on their faces, but they didn't dare to sit down. Stand comfortably! ”

"Yes, Shutan!" The two men chimed in.

Lian Zining was not reluctant, he glanced them up and down, and there were three of them, all of whom were wearing round-necked shirts, and they didn't look like ordinary people. The man in the middle was about forty years old, thin and shriveled, and looked a bit of a thief, while the other two were in their sixties, but they were looking at this middle-aged man.

"What do you call the three?" Lian Zining asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man said cautiously: "Uncle is polite, the little one's surname is Jia, and his name is involved." This is Zhou Qi, Zhou Yuanwai and Luodian Luoyuanwai. ”

"Jia She?" Lian Zining always felt that this name sounded familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was not a person in the dream of Red Mansions? He couldn't help but smile and praised: "Good name! ”

Jia Shexing may have been praised for his good name for the first time, so he had to laugh dryly.

Lian Zining said: "Just now, the official saw that the status of the three of them among the people is not low!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them all changed color, Lian Zining naturally knew what they were thinking, and said: "Don't get me wrong, this official has no other meaning, the practice of the national dynasty, there is no official government below the county level, everything depends on the old gentleman of the village to maintain a few years in this place, it is deeply rooted, the official has just come here, and he has to borrow a few people." ”

Sanren Tang listened, his expression eased, Jia Shi said: "The small ones, the family is doing a little bit of business, some small wealth, on weekdays, the villagers in the township, if anyone can't open the pot, they will always receive one or two, it is a little thin, not enough for adults." ”

"It turned out to be a few righteous businessmen." The rich businessmen and gentry in this era, including the rural landlords, are far from being as bad as they were shown in the TV dramas of later generations. In this era, there are very few rich people who are not benevolent to the rich, they are all born and raised in the local area, the family is deep-rooted, and they attach great importance to the word reputation, build bridges and pave roads, help neighborhoods, and take out money to run porridge shops during droughts and floods, which are very common. …,

"Your Excellency is gracious."

Lian Zining said: "What do you do for a living? ”

Jia Shedao: "There is a carriage and horse shop in the small family, and there are some fields outside the city. Zhou Yuanwai's home has a rich village, and Luo Yuanwai's home is a restaurant industry. ”

"Jia She, I see that you speak elegantly and quite well! It's not like your average businessman. Lian Zining nodded and asked.

"Your Excellency is aware of everything." Jia Shi said with a smile: "The young one went to school when he was in the clan. ”

After some idle talk, Lian Zining secretly observed, and also had a general understanding, this Jia Shi spoke well, he was a very sleek person, but he was still decent, had his own persistence, and was a conscientious businessman. And those two, don't mention it, I have never seen such a big official as Lian Zining in my life, and they are so frightened that they are purely kowtowers.

Lian Zining finally cut to the chase: "I invited Ji Ji here today, I have something to ask for." ”

"Adults, please will, if the small ones can do it, they will definitely serve the adults as dogs and horses."

"You have also seen that Qileniwei was trampled like this by He Yunyan, and at this time he was pacified by the official, and he always had to appease the people, develop the economy, and restore farming, these things, the official has no time to do, and the subordinates of the official are all soldiers, and they can't do it. Your native country is also highly prestigious, and the official wants you to take care of it for the time being, I don't know what the three of you want? ”

"Let us be officials?" Lao Zhou and Lao Luo were immediately stupid, and they both looked at Jia She.

"This?" Jia Shi is very excited, although they are rich, but their social status is not high, if they can be officials, it is naturally undesirable.

He was also a little suspicious: "The little one is a businessman after all, can the court agree to this?" ”

Lian Zining waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this, the emperor ordered this official to control the military and civil affairs on the south bank of the Songhua River, and the appointment and dismissal of local officials have the right to play a backtrack." Qileniwei is just a county (Qileniwei should be equivalent to a county in the Guannei, Xishenwei ground is the level of the government, I messed up before, sorry) It's just that, your prestige is high enough, you are a good candidate, just say don't do it! ”

Jia Shi was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle speaks, how dare the little one disobey his fate?" ”

"Good!" Lian Zining said: "However, this official has promised you this official position, but he also has some requirements. ”

"Your Excellency, just say it!" Jia Shi thought that he was asking for money and was ready to hemorrhage.

"This official has made two requests for you."

Jia Shi still had a smile on his face, and he was already bitter in his heart, this Wu Yibo was really ruthless, no wonder he became such a big official at such a young age, I don't know how much of his family property will be left after this?

Unexpectedly, Lian Zining said: "The first thing is to restore law and order and restore the hearts of the people!" Originally, there were still some officials in the prefect's yamen, and this official kept them all for you, and with their help, you should be able to take over the affairs of Qileniwei very easily. The official gives you a deadline, and before the Chinese New Year, you must restore stability to the Qileniwei and stabilize the people's hearts. ”

"Yes, adult, the little one will do it!" Jia Shixin said that this is a good thing, and he must do it with his heart.

"The second thing, resume production! This military disaster has caused too much damage to agriculture, and this official has exempted you from paying taxes on spring grain next year. Later, if there is not enough, the official can also order someone to give relief. But next fall, you must hand over at least a million stone of grain to the official! ”

"Huh?!" Jia She's mouth grows, like a frightened hippopotamus.

"What? Can't do it? Lian Zining squinted at him.

"Uncle, my lord, my lord!" Jia Shi shouted: "Your old man is from Guannei, and he is not familiar with our Guanwai, the weather here is bitter and cold, not as good as Guannei, and we can only grow one season of grain a year, although our land here is fertile." The water and soil are also sufficient, and the grain output is higher than that of the Guannei, but one acre of land is the grain that can be beaten out of two stones and five buckets, although we are not small, but most of the territory is forests and mountains, lakes and grasslands, and the cultivated land is only 750,000 mu, if you hand over one million stones, then the rest is not enough to eat, and the people will starve to death. ”…,

He is a connoisseur of the land, and he is also familiar with the Cilaniwei, and all kinds of data are at his fingertips.

Lian Zining smiled and said, "Who said you were allowed to plant wheat?" ”

“？ ……”

Jia She's three brains are a little overwhelmed, what do you plant if you don't plant wheat? Millet? That thing is produced less! Rice? That's fine, but how can this side be converted into paddy fields with dry land?

"Have you ever heard of corn?" Lian Zining asked.

"Corn?" The three of them shook their heads in unison, and Lian Zining sighed secretly, after all, the Ming Dynasty is inconvenient for information exchange, and the cultivation of corn in Shandong has already achieved a bumper harvest, and his own 500,000 mu of land, just renting a million stones! Even the treasury of the government was already full, and a bunch of warehouses had to be built. Corn is gradually spreading, and there are already a lot of planted ones in Shandong, but it seems that there is no news outside the border.

Lian Zining explained: "This is an extremely high-yield crop, which was introduced by the official from Dongying, and it is a crop from a continent tens of thousands of miles away from the sea on the other side of the sea in the extreme east, which can be steamed and eaten directly, or it can be ground into flour and steamed into steamed buns or pancakes like wheat, and can also be made into porridge." It tastes very good. ”

"It likes heat and humidity, and the growing season is very short, but it is only three or four months, it is planted in the spring, and the harvest is in the autumn, and most importantly, the corn is very high. It is a thin field, and there is also an output of two stones, and if it is a fertile field, three stones are also common! With the fertility of the land outside the customs, it is not a problem to have four or five stones per acre of land. ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them were shocked, and the first hair Ning didn't believe it, this thing has such a high output!

But Lian Zining's words made them dare not believe it, and they couldn't believe it.

"This official will provide you with a batch of corn seeds at that time, don't worry, if the output does not reach the amount that this official said, this official will definitely not levy so much grain. If it is reached, then it will be one million stones, and there is no need to negotiate, and there are 750,000 acres of land in Qileniwei, and one acre of land is calculated according to four stones, and the output is three million stones. This official wants a million stones, ten taxes and three, it's not much, right? ”

said that this part came up, and Jia Shi and the others could only agree.

Ten taxes and three, in fact, is not a lot, and it can even be said to be a very heavy tax rate, you know, the tax set by the Taizu of this dynasty is only thirty taxes and one. Not only the Ming Dynasty, like the Western Han Dynasty, was lightly taxed, but it was also thirty taxes and one, but thirty taxes and one was just a number on paper. If this is such a thin tax, what will the officials eat? What to drink?

In fact, the feudal dynasties of all dynasties, except for the ultra-high tax of ten taxes and seven taxes set by the too perverted Qiang Qin, the taxes of any dynasty are not too much, the Western Han Dynasty is thirty taxes one, the Eastern Han Dynasty is fifteen taxes one, the Sui Dynasty is thirty taxes one, and Tang Taizong is twenty taxes and one tax. This tax rate is really not high, but I haven't seen how comfortable the life of the people is.

The suffering of the people has always been the bitterness of paying miscellaneous taxes rather than regular taxes.

Take the Han Dynasty as an example, when Emperor Wen had the lightest tax, thirty taxes were one, but with the messy miscellaneous taxes in the local area, coupled with the difficulties of the tax collectors and various means, the actual tax rate can reach ten taxes and five! Half of the people's food was taken.

If it is ten taxes and three in the imperial court, I am afraid that the common people in the whole world will not be able to survive and rebel, because the ten taxes and three in the imperial court, if they are really implemented, will become ten taxes and seven or even ten taxes and eight * nine, except for Japanese serfs, who can stand it? However, Lian Zining's ten taxes and three have no concerns about this, because his territory is too small now, and Qileniwei is under his nose, and he will never dare to raise taxes indiscriminately, so the burden on the common people is not heavy.

It's all settled.

At that moment, Lian Zining called Shi Dazhu, wrote a document, and stamped his general Songhuajiang seal, with this letter of appointment, Jia Shi is the righteous Ming Dynasty's Zhengqipin Zhi County.

And the two of them also each appointed a seat of county and canonical history.

If the magistrate is the secretary of the county party committee in later generations, who controls everything, then the county magistrate is the county magistrate who assists in the management, and the canon history is the director of the public security bureau and the minister of the armed forces, which is exactly what the Qilerniwei who needs to restore law and order needs.

The servant stared blankly at the letter of appointment in his hand, his face was full of excitement and disbelief, no one expected that in just half an hour, he had changed from a flat-headed ordinary man to a dignified official! O official official of the Ming Dynasty!

How many scholars are cantilevered and stabbed just for this official position! And these businessmen who have never been an official in their lives have become an official at this moment!

The bright red seal of General Songhuajiang on the letter of appointment tells the rationality of this document and calms their hearts.

After receiving the letter of appointment, they became Lian Zining's subordinates, kowtowing and saluting in a proper manner, see Shangguan.

"By the way, this official will take out the cotton clothes and food in the treasury to help the victims, this errand is your first major event, go and do it!"

Jia Shi was grateful, knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you, for lifting up." ”
