860 In the Mountains
There are many green mountains, the peaks and peaks are continuous, steep and steep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tang Dynasty, it is not so important and eye-catching. Xichang County is located in the interior of the Tang Dynasty, the terrain and environment are extremely harsh, and it is also a place where ethnic minorities live. It is more difficult to rule than in the interior of North America, where tribal Indians are nearly extinct.
The local administrative division of Datang is the provincial capital and county, and Xichang County belongs to Liangzhou Prefecture of Sichuan Province. Unlike the prefectures and counties in the Central Plains, Liangshan Mansion is located in Kang District, and before the Tang Dynasty established the world, it was not only the people of the Qing government who spoke here, but also the local toasts.
Gao Jin was a civil servant sent to Liangshan Prefecture by the Tang government, and compared with his colleagues in other provinces and prefectures, Gao Jin's life was much more difficult. It's full of mountains, no running water, no electricity, and unfriendly toast.
As a civil servant in Datang, going deep into the masses is the basic method of doing work, but for Gao Jin, he must go into the mountains to do his work. The rugged mountain road like a heavenly road, several people struggled to move forward. Gao Jin was in the middle of the team, followed by two Datang soldiers. In such a place, there must be some capable of force, it is inevitable. Leading the way at the front was a dark-skinned and a slightly thin Yi man.
The name of the Yi man is Chici, which means "****". With such a name, it naturally shows that his status is very low. Akaji was a slave of a toast in the mountains, but he was beaten and thrown off the mountain for violating the majesty of the toast. Chiji, who had a hard life, did not die and was rescued by Gao Jin who was passing by. In order to thank Gao Jin for saving his life, Chiji hopes to become Gao Jin's slave. However, there is obviously no such thing as a slave in the Tang Dynasty, and Chici understands the local terrain and has a tenacious personality, so Gao Jin asked Chici to be a supernumerary staff member of Liangshan Mansion. Every time I go into the mountain, I take everyone with Akaji.
Gao Jin and the others entered a village, and the village was full of Yi people, nominally belonging to a relatively powerful Tusi in this area.
The children in the village ran to report to the village chief, "Grandpa the village chief, the people from the government are here." ”
The village chief carried a cigarette pouch and frowned and said: "The officials of the Qing Dynasty have never seen each other for several lifetimes, and now these Tang officials who have no braids will run to our village twice in three days, and they are not afraid of hard work, which is really troublesome." ”
The son of the village chief next to him said: "Anyway, he doesn't ask us for money and food, he just says something weird, just watch it for fun, what's wrong." ”
The village chief knocked his son with a cigarette pouch and said, "We don't levy our money and grain because our money and grain will be handed over to Tusi." ”
The village chief and his son went to the gate of the village to greet Gao Jin and others, and Gao Jin saluted the village chief with a smile. This makes the village chief very useful, after all, he is an official, and he is very respectful when he comes back, which makes people more face-saving. At first, the village chief said that he couldn't do it, but later he knew that the officials of the Tang people were like grandsons, so he was calm.
Gao Jin politely exchanged a few words with the village chief, and directly said what he meant, he said: "Village chief, our village is hidden in this big mountain, and it is very inconvenient to enter and exit, and everyone's life is relatively hard. Especially the dolls, they don't have to go to school, which is not in line with our government's regulations. ”
The village chief said: "No one in our village is literate, and there is no obstacle to survival, the dolls don't have to go to school, and our village has no money to let them go to school." ”
Gao Jin said with a smile: "It costs nothing for school-age children in our country to study, and there is a free lunch to eat. ”
The village chief's son has several children, and when he heard that he had saved a meal, he was a little moved, and he said, "But where is the school?" If it is in Xichang County, the children will not be able to walk back and forth for two days, and there will always be some wolves and leopards on the road, which is very dangerous, and they dare not let the children go. ”
Gao Jin said: "Yes, our government has also considered these issues. Therefore, the government hopes that the village can be directly relocated to Xichang County, and we build houses and provide various living utensils for everyone in the village, and if they are willing to move to Xichang, the government will provide rations for three years. Of course, our Datang land is rich in resources, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, there are countless places that are better than Liangshan Mansion, what is planted on the oily land, and there is no worry about food and clothing. For those who are willing to move to farther places, our government not only gives three years of rations, but also gives money, 300 Tang Yuan per person. ”
The village chief's son couldn't help but speak: "There are so many? ”
The people in the village also need to go outside to buy things like salt and iron, and now they have all changed to use Datang money, so they naturally know the value of Datang money, and now the relatively wealthy village chief's family in the whole village does not have a deposit of dozens of yuan.
Gao Jin began to tell the people in the village about the various immigration policies and temptations of Datang, such as the need to do immigration work, and the civil servants of Datang almost had to go through special training before taking office. This kind of training is even similar to the kind of sales pitch, according to the actual situation, to impress others and make people want to emigrate.
Many people listened to Gao Jin's words at the gate of the village, but not everyone could understand it, after all, there was still a language barrier. Among those who can understand, such as the son of the village chief, he lives with his parents, and Gao Jin said that when he moves to Xichang, he can have his own house, no need to spend money, and the government will arrange jobs, so he doesn't have to worry about not being able to feed his family. It's just that these conditions are too tempting to feel unlikely.
Gao Jin smiled: "If you don't believe it, you can go back to Xichang with me to get food, as long as you leave people, you can move the food back to eat." ”
For Datang, the population living in remote mountainous areas is of little use. It does not bring value to the country, and it is difficult for the country to take care of them. Just like these Yi children who live in the mountains, the state wants to provide education for them, but it is impossible to build roads into the mountains. In fact, it is already very difficult to build a road from the Chengdu Plain to Xichang. What Datang wants to do most is to move people living in poor and rotten land to other areas with better living conditions, there are large areas of farmland in North America, and there are large areas of pastures in Australia. From another point of view, living in the city outside the mountains will better integrate into the mainstream society and eliminate ethnic differences, which is also a very valuable thing for Datang.
Naturally, this work can be very difficult, and the more people who grow up in the mountains, the more difficult it is to leave the mountains. Moreover, resistance is not just a hurdle in the hearts of the people. (To be continued.) )
