Chapter 22: Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it

This icon looks familiar.

No, this is actually the resource distribution map of Xiami County, where is the iron ore in the low mountains to the east.

Jiang Yang's heart was shocked, wouldn't he be able to take a lot of detours with this thing.

In addition to iron ore, it is also marked with various rare metals, a small silver mine, and a very important oil resource in later generations.

Jiang Yang said in his heart that he had made a fortune, not to mention oil for the time being, he couldn't use it today, just talk about the silver mine... It's heart-pounding.

It's a pity that half of this drawing is missing, otherwise it would be clear what is in the mountains to the west.

Where resources are bound to be more abundant.

It seems that it is imperative to improve the county government!

Originally, it was planned that after the construction of the new countryside, a new county government would be built directly in the new countryside, but it seems that I can't wait for it at the moment.

Jiang Yang swelled a little.

Soon the group came to the City God Temple.

After a few days, everyone has to find out the order, and everything is in order.

More than a dozen stoves caught fire at the same time to boil water, cooking smoke rose in the curling air, and the victims lined up in an orderly manner under Ma Yan's arrangement.

Those who should go to carry grain to carry grain, and those who should eat to eat.

Hearing that Jiangyang was coming, a group of people who had been affected by the disaster rushed forward.

It's really not easy to have a stutter in this era, and it's not an exaggeration to say that Jiang Yang is their reborn parent.

"Lord Qingtian, have you come to see us?"

"We have food and drink now, and we are all fine, and we can get by."

Jiang Yang nodded and said, "Let everyone gather on the field after dinner, I have something to say to you." ”

"Cheng, the eldest man speaks, and he has to listen to him if he doesn't eat."

"Yes, you can eat at any time."

"It's not bad, I'll go and inform you."

Seeing that many people affected by the disaster put down their dishes and chopsticks and gathered one after another, Jiang Yang couldn't cry or laugh.

After a while, he stepped onto the stage, looking at a pair of bright eyes, Jiang Yang said: "Everyone has food and drink now, although you don't worry, but have you thought about the future?" ”

"What's next? What's the matter? It's good to have a stutter. ”

"Yes, I can't go back, and I don't have any fields to plant at home, so I can live every day."

"It's better to die than to live."

Hearing their words, Jiang Yang was a little suffocated.

Without ideas, without plans, they turned out to be like salted fish, they lost hope.

His parents and his wife died tragically, and the family's land was occupied by the gentry.

In ancient times, if there was no land, there was no way to live, and there was no hope in life, so you should only live one day at a time.

Mourn its misfortune and be angry with it.

"I will divide the land and build you houses." As soon as Jiang Yang's voice fell, the people below fell silent.

What do they hear? Give them land and houses?

The cloudy eyes exuded the hope of life.

"Really... Is it really divided into fields? ”

"You can't lie to us, right?"

"The land in Xiami County is in the hands of the Shi clan, how can there be any land?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's enthusiasm and hope were extinguished.

Even if they believed Jiang Yang again, they wouldn't take it seriously.

Jiang Yang waited until they finished discussing, and said loudly: "I plan to govern the Yi River, rely on both banks, reclaim fertile land, and build houses." ”

If the embankment is strengthened so that the Yi River no longer floods, the fields on both sides will definitely be fertile land.

The cleaned sediment can also be used as a building material and will not be wasted.

The Jing River is leading from north to south, and it becomes more and more spacious from west to east, which is a rare good place in Xiami County.

Hearing that Jiang Yang planned to reclaim fertile land, the people below who had fled from the disaster shut up one by one, their eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Yang will build a new countryside in one go, encourage everyone to repair the river embankment, and according to Jiang Yang, do not work in vain, not only to take care of food, but also to get paid.

In addition to the young men, others also needed to help transport the sediment from the riverbed and build new houses.

As for the young children, Jiang Yang originally wanted to let them go to study directly, but there were too many young children in Xiami County, and they were afraid that they would not be able to be thick or thin, if other people in Xiami County were also willing to come to work, Jiang Yang would naturally welcome them.

I simply put education back, after all, where did I find so many teachers.

And the steps have to be taken step by step, it is too easy to pull the egg.

After Jiang Yang finished speaking, the people below were dumbfounded.

Are you sure? The first time I heard that there was money for work.

At this time, the conscripts were all day labor, and if they were not careful, they would die.

After Jiang Yang read out all the things, a pair of bright eyes looked at him in a daze.

It seemed like the sound of someone swallowing in their throat.

"Really?"

"The reclaimed land belongs to us, how much tax should we pay, can we keep 30%?"

"Don't say three percent, if the land belongs to us, I'm willing to leave one percent."

"Yes, yes, the county lord is really a good person, and I'm satisfied."

Jiang Yang looked at them, but smiled slightly.

"This time the field! The government, three out of ten! Take only thirty percent, and the rest will be yours. ”

Jiang Yang's words caused an uproar, three out of ten?

What a low tax this is, you must know that it is six out of ten everywhere in Datang.

Thirty percent?

It's too low.

Without waiting for their surprise to end, Jiang Yang continued: "Moreover, the county government will not only help you buy seeds for sowing, but even tools, and ploughing cattle will provide you with peace of mind. ”

The people who were affected by the disaster immediately seemed to have exploded, and the fierce discussion could no longer be suppressed.

"The county lord is worthy of being the reincarnation of the gods in the sky."

"What else can this Blue Sky Lord say?"

"It turns out that I was uprooted by the disaster and left my hometown, not because God has no eyes, but so that I can meet the county magistrate."

"Parents, please bow to me."

More than 3,000 people knelt down like a tidal wave.

……

After a brief speech, Jiang Yang left, and in addition to the disaster victims, the people of Xiami County, who were originally bustling, had already dispersed.

Just a few steps away, I saw Li You walking over with a frown.

"My lord, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

Jiang Yang said: "What's wrong? ”

"Since ancient times, the people have 60% of the taxes when they cultivate the fields, which is the origin of the country's strength."

"If you only take 30%, I'm afraid that the county government will not be able to make ends meet."

Jiang Yang glanced at him, in Jiang Yang's heart, he actually felt that thirty percent was a bit high, and he wished to take only one percent.

It's just that I'm afraid that something will shock the world, so I didn't say it.

Since ancient times, the state has collected taxes to maintain fiscal revenue, so as to build the country, but at this time, taxes were a heavy burden on the people.

Shinong Industry and Commerce, to put it lightly, this peasant ranks second, but since ancient times, where have the peasants not been bullied by the landlord and the old wealth?

How happy were the businessmen at this time? The people were slaughtered like sheep and oxen, and they did not have to pay taxes.
