There are many more people like Qin Jianglong. After all, Dayong County is only how big. But how big is the whole southwest?

These people know best. There are not enough people in their villages and towns to pull their heads, and these people who have received money from the county seat to work and return home will naturally set their sights on farther places.

In the mountains, although the road is difficult to walk, people are always related to each other. The news that the imperial court recruited jobs and gave enough money and food in Dayong County was like wings, and it was transmitted quickly in the 100,000 mountains in the southwest.

Day 8. On the road from Maoyanhe Town to the county seat, countless people had gathered early.

Women and children, old and young, stood on both sides of the road, looking at their sons, husbands, and fathers with expectant eyes. In the past, Maoyanhe Town, with a total population of only four or five hundred people, now there are no less than three thousand people gathered on the road outside the town.

People who come from the territory of Yongshun Xuanwei Division on the other side of the Maoyan River will naturally not be accompanied by their families. In this way, after eliminating the women, children, old and children in Maoyanhe Town, no less than 2,500 people who were going to Dayong County to work for the imperial court gathered here.

These people, regardless of Han, Tu, and Miao, all gathered together and eagerly discussed going to Dayong County to work for the imperial court.

At the front of the crowd, Qin Jianglong was naturally the most eye-catching. Of the more than 2,500 people who were about to go to the county seat to work, more than 1,700 were brought here by themselves and the people from Mayang Village on the other side.

Even if he gave out a tael of silver to pull the head fee, as long as he could bring these people to the county seat today, he would be able to get a real amount of more than 1,700 taels of silver.

More than a thousand taels of silver! In the past, even if the entire Maoyanhe Town was sold, it would not be able to sell so much silver.

So much so that the other people who worked in the county seat with Qin Jianglong and came back to pull people's heads had envious looks in their eyes at any time.

It's a pity for Qin Jianglong. If it weren't for the fact that he was the only one, the news would be known to several other people in the same town on the third day, and then he would have learned to share one or two pieces of silver from his own head, and the capitation fees of the more than 2,500 people present would have to be their own!

With so much silver, he doesn't have to stay in Maoyanhe Town in this remote mountain in the future.

When you get the money, you can directly buy a yard in the county seat, and then take the family into the county seat to live.

You can even buy dozens of acres of first-class watered land outside the county. The women, children, old and children of Maoyanhe Town gathered in front of their own Erlang and whispered.

Qin Jianglong called his own people over, glanced at the time when the sun was about to leave, and then whispered: "When I take people to work in the county seat, you can't forget to continue to recruit people in Yongshun opposite at home, or one or two silver per person, and ask our relatives in Mayang Village on the opposite side to help." As long as someone comes, let them go to the county seat, and then report my name or look for me. How much wealth our family can make depends on this time. The parents, wives and children at home nodded their heads one after another.

With the silver and things that Qin Jianglong brought home before, the family now only wants to earn more silver.

Qin Jianglong said to his elderly parents: "Don't plant the land at home if you can, your two elders are also old, plant for other families in the town, and our family will just collect some rations." When our family settles down in the county seat, I will buy some land outside the city and hire a few more families, so that our family will no longer have to work and will have endless food. When the old parents heard their son be so filial, they naturally nodded again and again.

But I still want to serve this year's crops. Qin Jianglong told his children again: "You two have nothing to do at home, you will run to Mayang Village if you have nothing to do in the future, keep an eye on some, and your grandparents at home will take care of them more." When I went back to the county, my father sent you to the school, and I can't say that in the future, you can also study and become an official to find a good mother-in-law. The children immediately nodded happily.

Children in the mountains always fantasize about what the outside world is like, and they always think about going out one day.

Regardless of the joy of his children, Qin Jianglong finally whispered to his mother-in-law who had been with him all his life: "It's been hard work to marry into my family for half a lifetime, and when I take someone to get the silver this time, I will buy a few houses in the city." Go back and buy a few more girls who serve people, and they will serve you and your parents every day. The mother-in-law gave the man a shy answer.

The girl who serves people is probably really good at serving people, but it's impossible to say who she will serve. The mother-in-law pushed Qin Jianglong: "Hurry up and take someone to the county, don't miss the day set by the court and the government." ”

"Yes, yes." Qin Jianglong nodded in response, then turned to look at the crowd on the road. He greeted and began to hurry in the direction of Dayong County without looking back.

For example, the scene of Maoyanhe Town, which seems to be a large army, has happened in the mountains around Dayong County in the past few days.

Since ancient times, wealth has touched people's hearts. In the past, if someone said that the court would give them benefits, they would definitely be scolded.

But this time, the more than 1,500 people in Dayong County went home with the silver issued by the imperial court, and no one would question it anymore.

Go to the county seat and earn money. It has become the consensus of everyone. In some places far away from Dayong County, people start to set off a few days earlier.

The wisdom of the people was also displayed at this time. Just like Qin Jianglong's advice and arrangements to his family.

Those people who are far away have also entrusted their families to continue to pull people in farther places. Even in previous years, several villages that might have clashed over a river have all given up their old suspicions and have a common goal.

And outside Dayong County. From the fifth night after the people returned home with the money, people came back one after another.

The news was sent to the county government and the camp outside the city during the night. The county ordered Li Yulong to run up from the warm quilt as soon as possible, and arranged for the people in the yamen to settle the people who came back outside the city.

News soon came from the camp. The people who came back began to continue to expand the workers' camp outside the camp prepared by the county government in the past few days.

Naturally, money and food are allocated in full. In order to make the next steady stream of people coming out of the mountains see it really, Zhu Yunxi even asked the baggage camp and Dayong County to pay the people's wages every three days.

What is done is to let the people who come next see the sincerity of the court. One after another, edicts were constantly sent out from the camp.

Dayong County ordered Li Yulong to be busy immediately, and his feet did not touch the ground. Every day, Li Yulong has to go back and forth on several construction sites as soon as he wakes up.

The camp at the river bridge construction site next to the river was busy, and Li Yulong was about to go to the place where Kaishan quarried stones to build a cement factory.

After the inspection of these two places was completed, Li Yulong also led the officials and people in the yamen to go downstream along the Lishui River, and began to explore the geology along the coast and determine the next cement road route to Shimen County in the lower reaches of the Lishui River.

A camp had also been set up at the bridge where the people were given money that day. The clerks of Dayong County and the clerks of the army baggage battalion had to gather together on time every day to work.

All the people who came out of the mountains had to first register and make a register here, and then determine the specific number of heads with the people who pulled the heads.

Once the number of heads is determined, those who will be brought later will be handed over to the stewards of the various construction sites to take away.

And the people who pulled the heads of the people were taken to the city to pay the money. With so much silver, these people still have to work next, so naturally it is impossible to take it away.

So a kind of silver ticket document stamped with the seal of the emperor's grandson and the county order of Dayong County was handed over to the people, and the number was confirmed and signed on the account book to be archived in the county yajia cabinet treasury to prevent the silver ticket from being lost and finally unable to get the silver.

"Qin Jianglong, this time a total of 1,713 people have been brought in, or 3,426 taels of silver. Confirm the number, and if it is correct, sign and pledge in these places. Put away the silver ticket, don't lose it, if you lose it, you will have trouble to take the money again. When a clerk pronounced Qin Jianglong's name, it instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

This time, everyone went back with the idea that they could earn two taels of silver by pulling a person's head. After I went back, I really worked hard to pull people's heads.

It's just that most of the people who have confirmed the number of heads in front of them are one or two hundred, and no matter how many they are, they will be three or four hundred, and they will get seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

This Qin Jianglong alone brought in more than 1,700 people and won more than 3,400 taels of silver.

This is probably richer than many big families in the county. In the crowd, everyone was envious. Qin Jianglong pressed his handprints in several places where he wanted to sign and draw, and looked at the documents in front of him with shyness on his face.

"Official, the villain has something." The clerk looked up and smiled, he was very interested in this man who could bring in more than 1,700 people alone.

The clerk nodded, "If there's anything, just say it." Qin Jianglong glanced at the chaotic scene around him, and said in a low voice: "Can you bother the official master to move?" The clerk glanced at the ledger in front of him, and then at the crowd in front of him.

Most of them have already confirmed the number of heads, signed and drawn, and are just gathered here to watch the excitement.

The clerk thought for a moment and nodded, "Then let's go outside the door and talk." Qin Jianglong snorted, and respectfully followed the clerk out of the account room.

As the two walked out of the account room, the people who were still inside turned around one after another, and those who were close to the door looked out curiously, pricking up their ears to hear what Qin Jianglong, who had more than 3,400 taels of silver, would say to the official master.

Qin Jianglong followed the clerk out of the account room, and the two stood under the porch. He snorted a few times, and then whispered: "Official, the little one just wants to ask, if the little one doesn't work on the construction site, can he continue to pull people's heads for the yamen?" ”

"You're not going to work on the construction site?" The clerk couldn't help but ask subconsciously, and then his eyes flashed, and he understood what was going on.

This Qin Jianglong is already worth more than 3,000 taels, so naturally he can no longer look down on the little salary on the construction site.

The clerk smiled: "The court didn't say that you have to work on the construction site. It's just that if you don't go to work, you have to pull people's heads, this is the first time you brought it up, and I have to ask the county for instructions. As he spoke, the clerk began to wonder where the county was now, and whether it was time to go back to the yamen.

Qin Jianglong asked in a low voice: "Do you think the county lord will nod?" The clerk waved his hand and thought for a while before replying: "It's not difficult to think about it, after all, it's all for the imperial court." Whether you go to pull people's heads or work on the construction site, isn't it all for the court? You wait here, I'll go to the county right now and ask the county honorable. Qin Jianglong immediately nodded: "I'm tired of the official." The clerk glanced at Qin Jianglong, who was already about to jump out to be a coolie and turn into a puller, smiled and turned away.

The people behind the door who listened to the gossip suddenly had their eyes shining. Who would have thought that Qin Jianglong would be able to come up with such an operation.

Pulling people's heads is naturally faster than working on a construction site. A few thoughtful people had already walked out of the account room and arrived in front of Qin Jianglong.

"Brother, if you wait for the official of the account room to come back with a message, and the county lord agrees to this matter, I don't know if my brother can take us to make a fortune together?" Qin Jianglong's eyes instantly became vigilant, and he nodded after a long groan: "Let's wait for the county lord to allow it, and it's not too late to talk about it." If the county lord nodded and agreed, I would definitely not be able to do this alone, if there were more people, we would be able to take care of each other when we entered the mountains. This can be regarded as a promise, just wait for the county lord to nod and agree to this matter.

Several people immediately smiled. And other people in the account room also rushed out immediately, saying that they wanted to participate.

And outside the city in the other direction. On the top of the hill outside the big camp. Zhu Yunxi was looking at the camp where the people were placed at the bridgehead of the mountain.

Li Yulong, the county magistrate of Dayong County, took a document with a ruddy face and rushed up from the bottom of the mountain sweating profusely.

"Your Highness! Your Highness! ”

"With the addition of the people who just came, there are now a full 13,452 people here." Zhu Yunxi smiled.

Zhu Gaochi, who was beside him, smiled and took the paperwork handed over by Li Yulong. More than 13,000 people came from the mountains, which disguised the strength of those Tusi in the 100,000 mountains in the southwest to reduce the strength of more than 13,000 people who might be pulled into the team to fight against the imperial court's land reform and return to the stream.

Li Yulong said again: "Just now there was news from the county government that a common man who came with more than 1,700 people today said that he didn't want to continue working on the construction site, but he still hoped to continue to pull people for the government to enter the mountains. ”

"That's a good thing." Zhu Yunxi finally smiled and spoke. Li Yulong immediately bowed his head, waiting for His Royal Highness Taisun to take over the arrangement.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Gaochi beside him. This matter was actually in their plan for a long time, and they were originally planning to wait for the right time to find some people in Dayong County to come out and do this.

Now someone has taken the initiative, but it is not the right one. This time, Zhu Yunxi didn't speak again, but Zhu Gaochi took over.

"Li Xianzun will agree to this matter when he goes back, but there are still a few things to pay attention to." Li Yulong nodded like pounded garlic.

Now the number of people coming to the county has long exceeded the scheduled number. Originally, he was still worried, but now that the grandsons are nodding, Dayong County should be going to make a fortune.

Zhu Gaochi continued: "Li Xian respects you and comes forward, and I will talk to you in detail. ”……………… Recommended commuter passes
