Chapter 118: Help
Among the four measures, the first is the most tempting, because it is a one-time payment of 20 taels of pension, which has a lot of purchasing power, and some people may not have seen so much money in their lives.
In the long run, the third is to maximize profits, the tenant rent is reduced by two percent, as long as there is enough land to be rented, God is appreciative, even if you can't get rich, you can quickly fill in the bottom of the family.
Lin Qingwan's condition is specially set for smart people who have no land or less land, and she wants to attract more long-term workers to move their homes.
A long-term worker can bring in at least three laborers, and the construction of a farm requires a large number of people, and their home is here, and the loyalty of the long-term workers will increase.
When the time comes, she can be trusted even if she doesn't sign a deed of sale with them.
In this world, there are not many people who can give up their families and join the enemy.
Chief Steward Zhong understood what Lin Qingwan meant, and began to trick the long-term workers into moving their homes without a trace.
Those who have a lot of land at home are still happy, and those who have little land or no land at all are excited, and those who have more land but many brothers also want to go back to separate their families and bring their own families.
The Lin family's courtyard quickly broke free from the pain of two days ago and began to look forward to the future life.
However, the outside world will only react to the riots of two days ago.
In this era, the flow of information is too slow, and after the Lin family's courtyard was besieged by the homeless, except for the Lu Shang family, who knew more about the truth, the other families knew some news, not to mention the people of Suzhou City.
It was still Zhou Tingshi who deployed troops to be stationed outside the city to strictly control the displaced people who came, and the people only knew some news.
Lin Qingwan and Lin Run added fuel to the fire, and it didn't take long for the Lin family's courtyard to annihilate 428 mobs alone.
The day before yesterday, the families who sent medicinal materials to the Lin family's courtyard were stunned, and their faces were surprised, "So many? ”
They only knew that the Lin family's courtyard was attacked by the mob, and when Zhou Tingshi led the troops to the rescue, the Lin county lord had already beaten the mob back, and they didn't know how many people she had killed.
The Lin family's government army was handed over to His Majesty when the Lin family's army was handed over, except for some guards.
As far as they knew, there were less than thirty guards around Lin Qingwan, how did they kill so many mobs?
Could it be that Lin Jiang still left her a back hand?
Quite a few people are so skeptical.
For a while, he was also suspicious of the Lin family, and quickly turned around to find out if he had been disrespectful to the Lin family.
Zhao Sheng, who was still in Suzhou, was also suspicious, "Those displaced people who escaped really didn't see who was on the wall, how many were there?" ”
"Yes, I just think it's loud and there are a lot of people."
Zhao Sheng pondered, could it be that Lin Jiang really left Lin Qingwan behind?
Her Zhuangzi is not small, and it is easy to Tibet. It is illegal to raise a private army, but Zhao Sheng really didn't dare to attack Lin Qingwan from this aspect, because the Zhao family also had a private army.
In this troubled era, what big family doesn't keep some guards?
He really started from this aspect, but he was afraid that Lin Qingwan hadn't fought back yet, and the other families would press him down first.
Because those families have more private armies.
Only Zhou Jianshi and the soldiers who went that day knew that it was a group of long-term workers who had been trained for more than a month to kill the mob.
What is really precious in Lin Qingwan's hands are those who can train long-term workers into soldiers, as well as craftsmen who can make weapons for them.
And what the Lin family really admired Zhou Tingshi was their minds.
When the exiles besieged the Lin family's courtyard, everyone in the city was in danger, and the family headed by the Shang family put pressure on Zhou Tingshi to stop the exiles outside the city and prevent them from entering the city again.
But the Lin family took the initiative to stand up and characterize the besieging homeless people as mobs, which was different in nature from the homeless.
The displaced people were ordinary people who had to migrate due to the disaster, and the Lin family took the initiative to help the Assassin Mansion to help these victims.
Zhou Tingshi could see that Patriarch Lin was really gentle, and he was naturally convinced.
Although he was angry that the homeless people were making trouble for him, and he had devised all kinds of harsh measures to deal with it, it was impossible to say that he could directly keep the homeless people out of the city.
The outside of Suzhou is also under his jurisdiction, and the displaced people are stopped outside, and the people in the city are safe, so what about the people outside the city?
What's more, this is not in line with the national policy formulated by the imperial court.
But this time, even the Lu family didn't speak for him, so he could only stalemate under pressure, and now the Lin family, one of the victims, was on his side, and he was naturally more confident.
And Lin Run not only stood on his side with a clear attitude, but also came forward to help him persuade several major families to help divert the victims.
Zhou Tingshi was even more grateful in his heart, he saw that the Lin family was preaching the matter of rejecting the enemy, and he was also happy to help, and by the way, he shocked the displaced people and asked them not to cause trouble easily.
Lin Qingwan saw it, and sent him a plan in return.
In this era, the control of the monarchy is not very large, and the people have their own set of cognitions. Whether it is Da Liang, Southern Han or Da Chu, they all belonged to the Tang Dynasty before.
Therefore, in the hearts of the people, they all belong to the same country, but now the superiors are not unified, so they belong to different countries.
This is a very strange psychology, usually standing at both ends of the border, you can say bad things about my majesty, I can scold your emperor, but if you meet the Liao, the Liang people and the Southern Han people can stand together with a hoe to face the battle.
When encountering corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they are scolding here, and they will help scold over there, so the people probably don't mind changing the emperor, as long as the emperor can let them live a stable life and have hope.
So it's actually easy to buy them.
Give them a hope, and then keep telling them that Daliang will stand with them, willing to give them a stable living environment, and then share weal and woe with them.
Lin Qingwan wanted to do this a long time ago, but her identity is special and she is not suitable. On the contrary, it is Zhou Tingshi who is the head of a place, which is very suitable.
Zhou Tingshi was stunned when he saw this strategy, his staff glanced at it, clapped his hands and said: "This plan is wonderful, Duke Zhou, if you can collect them, maybe you can make a great contribution to the Southern Expeditionary Army." ”
Zhou Tingshi's eyes lit up, "You mean to let them lead the way for the Southern Expeditionary Army?" ”
The staff touched his beard and smiled, "Duke Zhou must have heard about Lin Guogong's flight to Lucheng, right?" At that time, wasn't someone who led the way for Lin Guogong, so that he could make a detour to the rear of the Liao people to recover Lucheng and cut off the back road of the Liao people? ”
This Lin Guogong is talking about Lin Ying.
Zhou Tingshi was moved, closed the letter and said: "It is worthy of being the descendant of Lin Gong." ”
The staff sighed, "This is the essence of the big family." ”
is such a girl, his daughter is about this age, and she is preparing to marry at home at this time, but he is still worried that she will be governed by her in-laws after marrying into her husband's family.
Alas~
If her daughter had one-tenth of the mind of this Lin County Lord, he wouldn't have to worry about it.
Zhou Tingshi smiled and said: "I don't know if it's our Lord Lin who is powerful, or the Lord Ruying who is more powerful." ”
The staff was shocked, "Duke Zhou, is it ......?"
Zhou Tingshi shook his head again and again, "Don't say it, don't say it......"
But the staff guessed a little, and they were afraid that there would be that Ruying County Lord in the Southern Expeditionary Army this time.
The imperial court has been waiting for the Southern Han Dynasty to ferment, and it is also waiting for the opportunity. But while waiting, the movements of your hands are not slow.
Just when all localities began to collect the displaced people from the Southern Han Dynasty, the emperor had already ordered all localities to rush to the aid of Qianzhou, led by General Su of the Northeast Army, and the other armies sent reinforcements to help.
Because the Western Army is the closest to here, it is the vanguard, and the pioneer of Zhou Tingshi does not know who is leading the troops, but just sent over to order the official document to raise military rations has Zhong Ruying's seal, Zhou Tingshi boldly guessed.
Although this county lord is a daughter, she has guarded Hongzhou for many years, and she can rely on her own strength to the west of Chu State, which shows her ability.
And although Lin Qingwan is younger than her, judging from her performance over the past year, she is also not to be underestimated.
A sixteen-year-old girl can support a room, and the mob will attack, and more than 400 people will kill when they say they will kill it.
With the cooperation of the Lin family, the displaced people in Suzhou were gradually pacified, and the young and strong went to serve in the yamen, in addition to two meals a day, there was also rice and noodles, and it was not a problem to feed two or three additional people.
The old, young, women and children are looking for some work inside and outside Suzhou, but it is winter, it is the time of slack, and they are homeless people, except for greedy cheap and some really kind people, no one hires them.
Fortunately, Zhou Tingshi and Lin Run persuaded the major families to donate some food and let people give porridge in the porridge shed every day, so that they could live if they begged more.
Zhou Tingshi also asked people to build sheds outside the city, and sent a lot of cold things, enough to support them through the winter.
When Lin Qingwan handled the affairs of the house and looked back, Suzhou City had quieted down, and gradually had the taste of winter leisure.
Lin Qingwan asked Steward Lin to go to the refugee shed and select more than 20 old and weak women and children to come back, and asked them to pick up large stones in the field, crush the big mud, and bury the compost into the soil by the way.
She gave them two meals a day and paid them according to the amount of work they had.
Few, such as the five or six-year-old children who can only pick up some stones, she only eats, and a few old people, because of the heavy amount of labor, in addition to two meals a day, she will give them a salary ranging from one liter to five liters.
Lin Qingwan said to Steward Lin: "You have to choose every three days, and only add five to ten people each time, remember, you have to choose in a different shed every time." ”
Steward Lin should go down, and then enter the next batch after being raised, and my aunt and grandmother are completely helping people.
Lin Yubin felt that their family had earned it, and secretly stuck out his tongue and said, "Auntie, this salary is too low, right?" ”
"It's because it's low that this errand gets their turn."
Lin Yubin understood after a little thought, now is the time of farming, if the remuneration is normal, I am afraid that the locals will also come to compete, and when the time comes, they will insist on hiring refugees instead of them, they will not only resent the Lin family, but they are afraid that the relationship between the two parties, which has been easily eased, will begin to deteriorate again.
Lin Qingwan explained in a low voice: "Originally, the Lin family could directly donate food for relief, but that would not only cost a lot, but the food sent out might not necessarily reach their stomachs, so it was better to find something for them to do, we would not only settle down, but also let them have a livelihood." ”
"Could it be that at this time, there are still people who dare to be greedy for ink and food?"
"I'm not talking about greed for ink, after all, the food provided for relief is limited, and they are weak, and it is difficult for them to rob other refugees." Lin Qingwan sighed, "Now I don't dare to hire those young and strong, but the old and weak women and children still dare to hire them." ”
