Half an hour, not a short time, Chen Ping himself filled in many matters that needed attention, and answered the doubts in the hearts of Li Yingxing and others. The rest of the time, reserved for Chen Shitong and others to answer their doubts, in Chen Ping's view, thinking determines things, and after more than a thousand years, it is inevitable that there will be no collision.

However, this situation did not happen, as far as Li Yingxing and others are concerned, it is not unclear, but too detailed, and even a little cumbersome.

For example, the ribbon used to distinguish the village is not only limited in length, but even in width. The ratio of length to width should be moderate, and the color should be bright.

If you forget it, how to deal with it, and if you use it for yourself, how to punish it. On the way to Hangou, when to count the number of people. Which way to save time, and if someone is lost, how to find it.

Attention to detail.

"Isn't it too cumbersome?" Chen Shitong asked tentatively.

In addition to articles, people should pursue simplicity in everything. This is especially true in the case of legal orders, which have even abolished the corresponding penalties in order to achieve a low crime rate.

The prosperous era under the cover of ears and thieves, the Ming Emperor and the Holy Monarch, generally came like this. Sneaky, it's all up to the personal decision of the governor of the state and county.

Thousands of years of culture, after all, human feelings are permeated with the legal system, and who can completely distinguish between good and bad.

In many cases, the standard of the prosperous era is not to stay closed at night and not to leave the road unanswered, but to look at the number of prisoners held in the state and county prisons and Dali Temple.

It's a bit of child's play, and after a few years of ****, in Chen Ping's opinion, he is even more ignoring the imperial court decrees. Mercy to the prisoner is an injustice to the law-abiding people. The essence of the law is to make the people abide by the law, punish the evil and promote the good, rather than arbitrarily using it to show the emperor's prestige, the benevolence of the mandate of heaven, or to buy people's hearts.

Chen Shitong and a few people thought that it was cumbersome and laborious, but Chen Ping felt that it was not enough, and corrected it: "The rules and regulations are to reduce losses. You think it's cumbersome, but I can't be detailed enough. Only when there is a plan and a preventive plan can we ensure the completion of the task. I hope that the 5,000 dingfu who went out will also be 5,000 when I come back, and not a single one will be missing! ”

No one is missing!

Human life, the importance of human life, the importance of civilian life, this is the reason why Chen Ping wants to describe in detail the provisions of the conscription measures.

Although the times are different, after more than a thousand years, but there is no difference between people, within the scope of his ability, Chen Ping does not want to let people die in vain because of his own mistakes or inaction, which is a great sin.

It is precisely because of the soul backtracking, compared with the nobility of human life at this time, or the indifference of resignation in desperation, Chen Ping seems to be a little different.

Chen Shitong sighed, helplessly, with a hint of relief, there is such a county order, for the people of Liuhe County, it can be described as a blessing.

But with the benevolence above the officialdom, how far can Chen Ping go?

Xiangrui, can it always be there?

"We will obey the orders of the county." If you can't go far, it will fall in this Liuhe County, at least Chen Shitong can rely on his own strength to share some of the burden for Chen Ping, a small county in the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River, the wind and waves are not as good as the court, and I can't get into those intrigues.

"Follow the orders of the county." Li Yingxing and the others were all respectful.

"Well, time is pressing, let's go down and prepare." Chen Ping said, "All the personnel in the county have been dispatched, and so are the servants and maids. ”

Knowing the importance of economic measures, only with enthusiasm, motivation is effective after all, but also needs the stimulation of money, selfishness, no one can avoid this thing, it is the original sin, but it can also be understood, if it is blindly eliminated and suppressed, it will inevitably be burned in the end, Chen Ping shouted Li Yingxing: "Take five hundred taels of silver from the treasury, as the cost of conscription, and Bai Zhi Cao Zuo's reward is also from here." ”

Li Yingxing nodded.

……

Under Tu Village, under Baitu Village, the brick kiln at the foot of Liuhe Mountain, the brick embryo that was molded was cleared, and the chief came to Dongxi to climb the high ground on the brick kiln, so that Ding Zhuang of the two villages could see himself clearly and hear more clearly.

"The imperial court levies and distributes conscription, and each household needs to be paid a percentage, and it will gather here tomorrow. It is necessary to bring their own food rations, and if there are ox carts, carts and other utensils for transporting food at home, they will be levied and distributed together. Lai Dongxi shouted loudly, and then looked at Cao Zuo Chen Yuanliang beside him.

It is the busy farming, but there is a forced labor, and every household is a ding, isn't this delaying the farming. But Laidongxi has no choice but to obey orders.

Fortunately, Hangou is not far from here.

Chen Yuanliang took out a burlap bag, and opened it to reveal the red ribbon inside, two fingers wide and half a foot long, all of which were measured: "One household is one into a ding, registered with me, and received a red ribbon and tied it on his arm." The townships must be separated from each other, don't get confused. ”

"The rice seeds in this field have just been sown, and I am the only laborer at home, if this is levied and sent to conscription, won't it delay the agricultural time, and let my people eat in the coming year?" In Xiatu Village, a middle-aged man complained, his brows furrowed, "Why do you want to levy so many chengding at once?" ”

In the past, most of the conscripts were in winter, and when the farming was slack, it was okay to be farther away, so it did not hinder the farming, and there was surplus food at home, so there was no need to worry about starvation. This will be about to sow rice seeds, and the faster ones have already finished sowing the fields, and the slower ones are only halfway there, and if they are left behind, the harvest of the year will go to eight or nine floors.

The county is all white, Cao Zuo and the slaves and maids are already out, this is also Chen Ping's request, the official documents of the court and the people are explained in detail, and it is to answer the questions raised by the people, not to prevaricate and intimidate.

"The ditch excavation and dredging, the communication between the Huaishui and the river, in the future, the grain and rice in the south of the Yangtze River will be transported to the north much easier, and the transportation will be carried out by the water, and the big ships will be used to save manpower and material resources, which is the virtue and politics." The original words were said by Chen Ping in the county government, and Chen Yuan's conscience sighed in his heart, Chen Ping, a cousin, is really meticulous in his work.

Even if these words fall into the ears of the emperor, there is no problem, on the other hand, the people are also happy, after all, if it is really to send taxes to Beijing, it is easier to transport by water than by land.

Just as Chen Ping said in the county, so that the people's hearts can be reassured, so that the people are not so resistant to forced labor, the strong man of Xiatu Village came to Bochangguo and did not continue to ask, but he was not at ease to go to the field at home: "But what about the rice seeds in my family's field?" It can't be that we abandon our fields and go hungry in the coming year, right? ”

"Someone will help you plant, just serve the labor and dig the ditch with peace of mind." One question and one answer, as if discussed, Chen Ping also mentioned the matter of sowing seeds in the field, Chen Yuanliang just returned to Bochang according to Chen Ping's words at this time, which is also what others are concerned about, "Chen County Commander understands the hard work of Er, and if there is still a field in the family of the person who went to serve in the ditch and has not been sown, the people in the county who are not serving the labor need to help cultivate." ”

On behalf of the plant, the state requires 5,000 chengding to serve in forced labor, but Chen Ping let each household have an extra mouthful, thinking about this.

Killing three birds with one stone, it not only completes the task of the state, but also does not delay the agricultural affairs in the county, and finally makes the people in the county feel fair and calms people's hearts to the greatest extent.

"It's a pity, if my cousin goes to school, he should not only have such an achievement, but he should be really talented." Chen Yuanliang had already been amazed, and when he spoke it out at this time, there was a burst of emotion in his heart, seeing that the noisy sound of the villagers had fallen, Chen Yuanliang continued, "Chen County's order has ordered people to prepare wooden barrels of mung beans, and the weather is hot, whether it is to dig a ditch or to stay in the county to cultivate, you can drink a bowl of mung bean soup to quench your thirst." (To be continued.) )
