Chapter 44 Yi County Peasants
Li Yao staggered out of the Craftsman's Mansion, and on the way back, Li Yao thought: "Marry two equal wives within a year, isn't it a little ridiculous, but obviously I didn't do anything, I really lose it!" ”
Back at the Hou Ye Mansion, Song Boming's county order was already waiting in the Hou Mansion, Li Yao saw Song Boming and asked, "Song County Order, come to the mansion so early, what's the matter!" ”
Song County Ling arched his hand and said: "Master Hou, I came here this time to report to you some of the recent basic situation in Yi County!" ”
Li Yao nodded: "Okay, have you eaten?" Let's talk while we eat! ”
Song Xianling waved his hand, "I've eaten, in this way, I'm waiting for you in the living room, and when you're done eating, I'm reporting to you!" ”
Li Yao smiled: "You don't have to see the outside like this, you can still eat after eating, let's go, let's talk while eating!" ”
Dragged Song County Ling to the dining room, and after sitting down, Li Yao said: "What about these 800,000 refugees recently? ”
Song Xianling shook his head and said: "I'm not optimistic, this time I came here mainly to tell you about this, Hou Ye, now the farmers there are not very motivated to work!" ”
"Not highly motivated?" Li Yao asked suspiciously, "Why?" ”
Song Xianling said with a smile: "Hey, those Diao people always think of tricks, because no matter how much work they do, the land is ours, so they can do it easily for a day, and they are tired for a day, so compared to this, they must choose to do it easily!" ”
"What do you think?" Li Yao asked.
Song Boming thought for a while, plucked up the courage and said: "Reform, we can't fix these peasants to death, these refugees have been transformed into peasants, after no worries about their lives, they must think of developing in a better place, if we can hand over these reclaimed wasteland to local farmers for planting, I estimate that as long as there are ten years, no, five years, they will be willing to stay here!" ”
Li Yao has not thought about the issue of reform, these peasants, taking care of their own food and housing and letting them work for themselves is not a long-term road after all, it is time to let these peasants eat some sweetness!
Li Yao said: "You tell me the details of the reform, let's discuss it, and then find a village to experiment, if it is successful, we will promote it all!" ”
"Looking for a model village? Master Hou, you are so powerful, why didn't I think of finding a demonstration village? I've been hesitating, what if the reform is not good, after all, 800,000 people, this reform is not good, the trouble is not a little bit! Song Boming said happily.
Haha, just casually, okay, you go ahead and talk about how you are going to reform!
In reforming this matter, I am going to divide the farmland into upper, middle and lower grades according to the current standards of Yixian County's fields, and everyone must be assigned to the land, and if they are assigned to the upper land, they will be given less points, and if they are assigned to the lower land, they will be given more points.
Well, Li Yao nodded, "What you said is indeed a good way, but now that it is all freshly reclaimed wasteland, how can you distinguish between what is superior and what is inferior?" And even if the land is divided, with the land output in the next few years, they will definitely not be able to harvest any grain! ”
Song Boming nodded and said: "When it is divided into upper, middle and lower places, I can specially ask the county lieutenant to bring someone to do it, which can definitely ensure fairness and justice." As for the problem of not being able to harvest grain, we can lease it first, we can provide them with the first year's grain for free, and then the grain for the next few years can be rented to them without interest! The tools of production are provided free of charge, and for livestock such as cattle, they are managed by the village chief. ”
Well, Li Yao listened to Song Boming's suggestion and said: "What you said is very good, but I also want to tell you a little bit, when there is no division of land, they are only counted as refugees, so we can use it for free, once the land is divided, this is to take root, can those who have land in Jin be willing?" ”
Song Boming was taken aback, yes, they just fled, once they knew that the famine had passed, they would definitely be returning to the Jin Kingdom, Master Hou, it seems that we are going to make some ruthless moves!.
Li Yao asked, "What kind of tricks?" ”
Song Boming said fiercely: "If you find someone escaping, once you are caught, you will be sent to the cell immediately." ”
Li Yao smiled, 800,000 people, can you catch them? I have an idea now, and you can hear it.
To deal with these people, we have to take three steps, the first step is to create public opinion, we will tell these peasants that the Turks are still wantonly invading the Jin Kingdom, and the famine is far from over, even if you go back, it will be a dead end.
The second step is to block the news, and the people in each village still need to strengthen their control, so that they can be called before going to bed at night, and the villages are prohibited from colluding with each other, so as to close off the news from the outside world, so that these farmers can be more obedient.
The third step was to take an iron-clad approach, posting notices in the villages, saying that the Uighur spies were increasing day by day, and that the peasants were forbidden to go out at night, and that if they were found, they would be dealt with as Uighur spies, and that there would be no mercy!
After listening to what Li Yao said, Song Boming said softly: "Won't it be a little ruthless?" "Song Boming is a civil official after all, and it is really a little difficult to accept such a thing as murder.
"Ruthless? If they are all obedient, they will live well, as long as they work hard, they can be fed and clothed, and in a few years, I will find a daughter-in-law for them, and a man for a man. And, county order, don't forget, these people were rescued by me, if it weren't for me, they would have died a long time ago, I gave them a way to live, if they didn't want to go, then they had to die! After Li Yao said these words fiercely, Song Boming was startled, is this still the original happy Hou Ye? How to do things so ruthlessly!
Li Yao looked at the county order's disbelieving eyes and said: "Song county order, in troubled times, you must use heavy codes, you have always heard this sentence!" In the chaos, heavy penalties must be used to change them, for the sake of the stability of our Yi County in the future, this is the only way! ”
Song County Commander nodded, Master Hou, I understand, I will arrange it as soon as possible, I will send 500 people to the county officials, and I will send 1,500 people to the city guards, and these people will patrol day and night in groups of ten people, and if they find anything, they will all be killed.
Li Yao thought for a while and said, "Wan Xun (dog head) will also cooperate with you, there are still some of our spies in each village!" You can go directly to him later, and discuss it with him! ”
Two thousand people manage 800,000 people, Li Yao feels that this must be not enough, but there is no way, there seems to be no pure local army in his hands, there are two regiments of Jin people in the blind scout, Li Feng's first battalion of Wangcheng City Guards has been scattered to ten divisions, and in addition to this, the army is all Jin people, it seems that the ideological education work in the future will be grasped well, and they will begin to brainwash them in an all-round way!
The county order, you first pick out two representative villages for testing, let's first look at the results of the test before we can judge whether this regulation can be implemented! If we can implement it, we are promoting, if we can't implement it, then we can only change the plan.
By the way, in the past few days, I will ask the dog head to send staff officers to various villages, focusing on public opinion and building momentum, that is, to tell those peasants what kind of suffering the Jin Kingdom is still suffering, so that those peasants will break off their minds to go back! This is how your work can be carried out in the future.
If it's good, it's so good! Song County Ling nodded.
"Okay, is there anything else going on with the prefectural order?" Li Yao asked.
Song Boming waved his hand, "It's okay, Master Hou, then the official will retire first." ”
Seeing Song County Ling walk out of the door, Li Yao sighed, called his family and Wang Changzhu, and announced to them that it was time for the family to enter again!
