Chapter 26 Linjiang Town
The healing effect of the top-level spirit book is really not blown, the healing effect has been greatly improved over time, and another powerful attribute attached to the "Plague Theory" has also appeared after becoming a top-level spirit book, which has provided great help to Ye Qing's future development.
During the treatment, all the people of Linjiang Town carried out a major transformation of the inside and outside of the city according to the method provided by Ye Qing, which made the entire Linjiang Town refreshing.
Although all the plague patients had been exhausted in two days, the military blockade of Linjiang Town continued to be on the safe side, until three days later, when it was determined that no one had relapsed, and the blockade was lifted in the city.
Linjiang Town is the hardest hit area by the plague, and the onset of the disease is not treated in time, even under the treatment of the medical spiritual book, there are still some people who are too sick to die, they were not in good health before the disease, and after being infected, they were even more hollowed out, and finally failed to survive.
According to statistics, the outbreak of this plague caused more than 5,000 people to lose their lives, and in addition to the thousands of people who died when assisting in defending the city, the population of the entire Linjiang Town lost nearly 20% at once, and almost every household wore white filial piety clothes.
Almost more than ninety percent of the people in Linjiang Town are farmers, but most of them do not have their own land, just rent fields for others to live, and most of the income from a year's hard work has to be handed over to the landlord, and they get very little, most of the time they cannot eat enough, and their lives are very hard.
Being able to acquire a piece of land of their own has been the strong desire of the people who have lived here for generations.
The dead lord was the largest landowner here, with more than 90% of the land in his hands, and he was nicknamed "Scrooge". The means are also ruthless, relying on his lord's position, wantonly annexing the land in the territory, and now, all the fertile and easy-to-cultivate land in Linjiang Town has been under his name, leaving only some barren land that he does not look down on.
Due to the high commercial tax in Linjiang Town, merchants are reluctant to settle here, and most of the local merchants here are unable to be deprived and have left here, making the shops here very scarce.
All in all, Linjiang Town didn't have any decent forces except for the lords, which also provided great convenience for Ye Qing to occupy here.
And the "miser" always wants to hold more wealth in his hands and is reluctant to spend it. In the lord's mansion, Ye Qing found a large amount of grain storage, the specific amount has not yet been counted, it is not enough to estimate, enough for millions of people to eat for a year, it can be said that Ye Qing will not have to worry about food in the next few years.
As for other items such as money, they were found relatively little in the City Lord's Mansion, and they should have been taken away by the previous lord when he fled, or hidden in a hidden secret room, but Ye Qing had not found it yet.
In the early morning, the front of the Zhaobi in front of the lord's mansion in Linjiang Town was already crowded with people. The people craned their necks to look ahead, their eyes focused on a blank sheet of paper taped to the wall. Although many people do not know how to read, this does not hinder people's enthusiasm for knowing the truth.
After a few days of recuperation, most of the people had recovered from the damage caused by the plague, and a satisfied smile appeared on their faces again.
Beneath the sign stood two stern-looking soldiers, dressed in iron armor, armed with spears and swords at their waists. Their backs were straight, their eyes were looking ahead, and the armor on their bodies was shining brightly under the reflection of the rising sun, and the whole looked like they were heavenly soldiers descending from the earth, which caused the people below to admire.
Ye Qing rescued Linjiang Town, defeated the barbarian cavalry, and cured the plague patients all over the city, which undoubtedly gave a good positive image to the people of Linjiang Town, and laid a solid foundation for Ye Qing to take over here.
Those two soldiers were model soldiers specially selected by Ye Qing from the army, in order to recruit troops for themselves. First impressions are important, no matter where you are.
Looking at these two soldiers in armor and with serious expressions, the people were a little scared at first, but when they saw that they didn't make any moves, and they didn't even scold them, they became bolder, and even some of the more courageous young people came to the two of them to carefully look at their armor and spears, and their mouths let out a "tsk" exclamation, and the envy in their eyes was overflowing.
"Let one, let one! The people in front of you let one go. Let Mr. Xu read to the big guy what is written on this notice. "Just as people were talking, a few voices passed through the back. The big guy looked back and saw a few strong men escorting an old man dressed as a scholar, squeezing forward.
"Ah, it's Mr. Xu who is here, and the person in front of him will let go. "Obviously, this Mr. Xu is known to many people, and his popularity seems to be good. Many people not only consciously get out of the way, but also beckoned the people in front of them to hurry up.
Mr. Xu's original name was Xu Hua, and when he was young, he was also a famous talent in the city.
Later, I didn't take the test again. After returning to his hometown, he opened a private school to teach some children to read. For ordinary people, he usually helps if he can, helps the big guy write a letter, writes a Spring Festival couplet or something, and his popularity is really good.
Some people in the city like to ask him for help. And Mr. Xu himself can help, he will definitely help, and he will never refuse, and gradually he will become a celebrity in this Linjiang Town.
Mr. Xu finally squeezed into the front of the crowd under the escort of several strong men, and stood in front of the notice of An Min.
Mr. Xu cleared his throat and read aloud as he looked at the notice.
The meaning of the notice is very simple, that is, it explains the origin of these people, and at the same time tells the people the fact that the previous lord died, and the situation that Ye Qing's army is going to take over Linjiang Town.
The entire notice was written in the form of vernacular, in the same tone as the common people, simple and easy to understand, narrowing the distance between the two sides, and unconsciously having a good impression of Ye Qing and his army.
Almost all of the previous managers of Linjiang Town fled with the lord, and then died in the hands of the barbarians, and at present, the administrative system of the entire Linjiang Town has disappeared, and it is under the condition that there is no leader, in order to master this place as soon as possible, Ye Qing decided to make the initial changes to the original administrative system.
"With the household as the unit, each household elects a head of household, ten households are a first, a chief is elected, ten is a guarantee, a chief is elected, a chief is elected, ten guarantees are a mile, and a chief is elected, and the above positions are freely and openly elected by residents to hold this position, and the chief of the first division is mainly responsible for resolving neighborhood disputes, census population, and arresting bandits......"
In fact, this is the armor protection system on the earth, although it has various shortcomings that have been complained about by later generations, but it is undeniable that it has played a role in strengthening the rule.
At present, there are too few talents available in Ye Qing's hands, and there are almost no suitable ones to govern a place, so he has to add grassroots management first, so that even if the middle and high-level abilities are temporarily mediocre, the impact on territorial governance is not too great.
......
The contents of the notice had a strong impact on the people, like a boulder dropped on the calm water, and the whole town began to explode at once, and groups of people discussed the matter of the Ho-O system, and the death of the "miser" was selectively ignored.
For a long time, the grassroots management of the human race has been very lacking, basically relying on the consciousness of the people, and the social status of ordinary people is not very high.
Now Ye Qing wants to manage the grassroots people, and the management personnel are chosen by the people themselves, this kind of thing that was almost unimaginable before, if they don't talk about one, two, or three, they will not stop.
The discussion of the people continued, but Ye Qing did not delay the reorganization of the people, although human beings generally have a respectful attitude towards unfamiliar things, but there will always be people who want to be the first to eat crabs.
Mr. Xu Huaxu is usually used to helping his neighbors and has a nosy heart.
After returning home after reading the notice in the morning, I found that although the discussion about this matter was more intense, no one took action due to many concerns, and at this time, Xu Hua's nosy heart began to stir again.
This time the plague Xu Hua was also infected, and because of his perennial study, coupled with his age, his resistance has decreased, and he is one of the most serious patients, so it can be said that when Ye Qing rescued him, there was only his last breath left.
There is a great terror between life and death, Xu Hua, who has almost experienced death, can be regarded as seeing many things, and he will not look at unfamiliar things like ordinary people, but is still a little curious.
Moreover, this incident was initiated by his own life-saving benefactor, if no one in the city responded, it would still have a great impact on Ye Qing.
Whether it was to repay his kindness or for his curiosity, Xu Hua decided to try it for himself, so as to set an example for the villagers, anyway, he was alone, and even if something happened, he couldn't even affect others.
It is better to act than to move, Xu Hua immediately walked to his neighbor's house, he wanted to persuade his neighbor to elect him as the basic armor commander, and then slowly promoted upward.
With the first person to take the lead, the second and third will continue to pop up, and the people who have the same idea as Xu Hua are not a few in Linjiang Town, and after a big fermentation, at night, it finally reached its peak, and every household began to walk around the streets and alleys to inquire about the situation of other people's families, so as to make their own decisions.
The next day, when the working group sent by Ye Qing went door-to-door to conduct statistics, most of the most basic leaders had already been elected, and the remaining small number of people were also persuaded by the working group to form a baojia.
