Chapter Eighty-Three: The Birth of Unity Village

The county man rushed to report to Wu Yunlin: Lord County, Daoist Lord Gaode has arrived, and I hope that my lord will meet him in person

"What are the preferences of the high Taoist?" Wu Yunlin turned back to Zhao Sheng and said

The county man whispered to Wu Yunlin: "Xia Guan has heard of it, and this tall man especially likes gold. ”

"Let's go back and meet this senior Taoist for a while."

At the banquet, Xiong Ge, County Cheng Zhao Sheng, Wu Yunlin and Gao De.

Gao De is more than forty years old, fat, wide-faced, with a pair of small eyes and a collapsed nose.

"The high Taoist is tired from the journey, and this banquet is specially set up to wash the dust for the errand." Wu Yunlin picked up the bottle and headed to Gaode.

Gao De also smiled and said: "All the way, Zunyi is very lively around, I think the refugee arrangements are tightly organized, I heard that the new magistrate of Zunyi is young before I came, but I didn't expect the county order to be so young." "Gao De means that the official has investigated Zunyi and knows a little.

Wu Yunlin said: "I was lucky to get a second-class jinshi, and the officials became the magistrate of Zunyi County after taking a fancy to it, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to meet Yang Fang's marquis." "Wu Yunlin first reported the background, as a second-class jinshi, we are not easy to mess with, and we know Hou Ye.

Gao De put away his smile, touched his round belly, and secretly thought to himself, this second-class Jinshi plus knowing Hou Ye, he is really not easy to mess with as a little Taoist.

"Alas, we Zunyi County is bitter, two consecutive years of banditry, although the bandits have been repelled, but now Zunyi is still raging with bandits, in order to prevent the refugees from causing trouble to the county, Zunyi has resettled these refugees and has exhausted the money, please send to the province to respond." Xiong Ge interjected.

Gao De's small eyes rolled slightly and said: "Alas, our Yungui has always been unable to make ends meet, and it is difficult to make ends meet, so everyone insists on it." Gao De immediately started Tai Chi for this thankless task

"I didn't treat the high Taoist well today, I didn't do well in this county, and I hope to forgive me during the special period, and I will punish myself first." Wu Yunlin hurriedly pleaded guilty.

For a while, the banquet was also enjoyable.

After three rounds of drinking, Gao De said with a smile: This time Zunyi experienced a January riot, and it was really tragic along the way, often uninhabited for ten miles. This brings us to the point, you have so many borderless lands in Zunyi, do you want to monopolize a small magistrate?

Wu Yunlin coughed and said: "The mission came to Zunyi, and I hereby prepare some Zunyi souvenirs for the mission, come here, bring it." ”

At this time, Dumb outside the door took a gift box and put it next to Gao De and withdrew.

Gao De saw that the specialty was packed in such a small box, presumably because the things inside were a little different, and when he opened it gently, it was gold, and the number of gold swept down was ten gold, because in recent years, the war has now made gold more valuable. Gao De gently covered the gift box, and then put his hand on it.

"I will report the situation in Zunyi truthfully, and I think the above will find a way to support it." "Yes, there are high Taoists here, this matter will definitely be solved, and the people of Zunyi will be saved from water and fire to fill this bottle for the high Taoists." Wu Yunlin, who was on the side, saw this and drank the bottle.

The feast was full of joy again, and when everyone had bid farewell to Gode, they closed the door and went back to the house.

Wei Qi said: "According to the number of borderless lands registered in the county, there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land in our county, if we have 5,000 hectares in our hands according to the plan allocated before, of course, not counting the destroyed silk manors and mulberry forests, and I believe that this high Taoist is not the first official to come to our Zunyi to fight the autumn wind, every time there is a bandit or other people who pounce on it like hungry wolves and bite a few bites." ”

Wu Yunlin has a steady stream of funds from Qianxing Commercial Bank, but it is his own money, and he can't spend it like this, and he can't easily move it until the end.

Wu Yunlin wanted to see if Wei Qi, a man from the landlord and old wealth, had any other way, but when he heard Wei Qi's words, he only frowned slightly, and did not speak.

Looking at Wu Yunlin's expression, Wei Qi hesitated a little and said: If you want to restore the taxes in Zunyi, the first is to resettle refugees, the second is to clear the bandits, the third is to restore silk production, and the fourth is to clear all the land in the territory, so that all taxable land can pay taxes, the most difficult of which is the silk production and inventory land, the manor outside the city was completely destroyed, and most of the silk production technicians were also slaughtered, and the inventory land will undoubtedly get the largest batch of squires, after all, they hold most of the unregistered land in their hands.

Looking at Wei Qi in front of him, who was ruined by himself, Wu Yunlin couldn't help but think that this was the legendary "I belong to the people who have been drenched in the rain, so I want to tear other people's umbrellas", and this idea is a bit ahead of my time, I really want to say "Pagoda Town River Demon"

Waiting for Wei Qi to finish speaking, Wu Yunlin looked at the table in front of him, and Wu Yunlin said without raising his head:

First, Mr. Xiong led the officials to appease the refugees, organize them to rebuild their homes, recommend them to join the militia when appropriate, restore people's livelihood, organize people to reclaim farmland, and if there are suitable crops, it is better to go down first, than to be wasted.

Second, Zhao Kuo led Zunyi Township to clean up the bandits and nearby cottages, and recruited suitable personnel, and expanded the militia to 2,000 people to strengthen training.

Third, dumb, you go and tell Wan Fat Man and Lu Xiaoyu, "Just say that I told him to move our processing plant to Zunyi and ask Ah Fu to come with him,"

Fourth, Mr. Wei, you are here to preside over the issue of land clearance in Zunyi.

"Yes," Zhao Kuo replied

"No problem," Xiong said

"Yes, sir," Dumb replied

The rest of the people replied, only Wei Qi replied with some ugliness during the interview, "Contemptible people are not talented, but they can delay the plans of adults."

Wu Yunlin smiled slightly and looked at Wei Qi and said: Mr. Wei doesn't trust him, he is afraid that he will unload and kill the donkey or fly the bird.

"I don't dare, I don't have this kind of thought, this matter is guaranteed to be done beautifully for you" Wei Qi hurriedly arrived

Five days have passed, and the first three tasks are being carried out in an orderly manner, but the land clearance work presided over by Wei Qi has not moved.

Looking at everyone who was anxious, Wu Yunlin didn't worry, because he believed that Wei Qi was a smart person.

With the spread of gossip one after another, the people of Zunyi County knew that the newly arrived Wuzhi County wanted Wei Qi to preside over the inventory of all the land in the territory, and everything that was found to be concealed needed to pay 100 yuan per mu of land, but the county order was considerate of the people, and the county was willing to pay half of it, and the people only needed to pay 50 yuan per mu. There is no money can be mortgaged and borrowed from the county by the title deed, but some more money will be repaid in the coming year, which needs to be handed over within ten days, and more than ten days need to be 120 yuan per mu.

Wu Yunlin ordered all the brave soldiers and horses in the county who had experienced the baptism of blood and fire to train and suppress bandits everywhere. When the soldiers and horses passed by one village and fort, everyone who watched was terrified, especially more than 300 cavalry rushed to kill. Then Wei Qi and his men began to record the amount of land and collect taxes, and it was much smoother.

On the eighth day in the remote mountainous area, the head of the Sun family, Sun Kewang, did not give in, but attracted everyone's attention for 'one branch of the best', after learning that Wei Qi's Wei family took the initiative to make up all the taxes, he also angrily greeted the ancestors of the Wei family, this stubborn old man also suppressed the smart people in the family who opposed him doing this, the external enemy is not the most terrible, the internal division is the most dangerous. As the saying goes, it is difficult to win one person, and it is easy to win two people.

Wei Qi found Wu Yunlin and said: "A side branch of the Sun family is willing to hand over the evidence of the Sun family's hidden land after contact, on the condition that he become the head of the family. "Dozens of people in a small Zunyi family are still divided into main branches and branches?" Wu Yunlin was surprised.

"Small doesn't mean weak to fight."

"Promise him that I will help him bring the land hidden by the Sun family to his name, but he still has to pay the annual tax."

Wei Qi said: "Why don't you give the land to the county." "I almost didn't say that Wu Yunlin would take the field and classify it as a private holding.

Wu Yunlin said: "The so-called gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, how can he do this act of forcible grabbing." ”

The main reason is that after discussing with Wei Qi and Xiong Ge, they both think that now is not the time to collect the land, and it can be resolved if people pay taxes, but if they collect the land on which these people live, they will inevitably work together desperately.

In the middle of this newly built hamlet, there is a two-foot wide road with three rows of houses on the left and right. The earthen wall encloses a courtyard, each house is ten meters long and six meters wide, divided into two rooms on the left and right, the kitchen is in the middle, the house only has the foundation is made of fire bricks, the others are mainly rectangular mud bricks (adobe bricks), and the houses are not tiles, only some rainproof yellow grass is used.

The village has been built, with one hundred and fifty houses.

Xiong Ge introduced to Wu Yunlin as he walked: "These jobs are mainly done by us employing displaced people and surviving villagers nearby, and we told them that this is for them to live in, and everyone is working hard, and we just gave some food, and tomorrow we will start to let the old and weak pregnant women move in." ”

Wu Yunlin nodded as he walked, these complicated things are what Xiong Ge is good at, Wu Yunlin only needs to listen, and after taking a look at this, Wu Yunlin went to the barracks. Zhao Kuo has been training these days, and he can eat dry rice in the camp every day and be full, as for the dishes, mainly pickles, he eats very well. At the beginning, he also led the villagers to go down to the land to open up and plant, but recently, according to Wu Yunlin's instructions, let them train with peace of mind and don't need to farm, although Zhao Kuo was a little puzzled, because most of these soldiers in other places were for the commander to farm, but for Wu Yunlin's orders, he always carried out the requirements and never needed to ask why.

Gouzi and Dumb followed Wu Yunlin into the barracks, and Wu Yunlin asked Zhao Kuoba Xiangyong to gather and asked Gouzi and Dumb to bring the deed.

Wu Yunlin looked at the gathered humanity: "Yesterday you were homeless refugees, today you are the militia of Zunyi, as long as there is me Wu Yunlin in one day, I will not treat you badly, you people who participate in the militia group, today you have priority to get the deed, tomorrow you can get the land." ”

Wu Yunlin handed everyone the house deeds one by one, and everyone was very excited, maybe they saw Wu Yunlin, they might have a home again, or both.

Sun Kewang and the others took the title deed and looked at the words on it, although they didn't know the words, but the respected magistrate said yes.

After the deed was issued, the camp had a two-day holiday, Sun Kewang took the deed and returned home, the family still lived in the messy shed area, and there was nothing valuable in his shed area, so he called the family to ask how to walk according to the address on the deed along the way, and slowly rushed over.

Waiting for his family of three to rush to the entrance of the village, Sun Kewang found that he was greeted at the entrance of the village by his platoon commander Li Dapeng, whose right hand was cut off by bandits during the war.

Li Dapeng stood straight at the entrance of the village and looked at the 500 families that came one after another, and after seeing that the personnel were almost there, the accompanying officials announced on the spot that Lord Wu Xianzun had personally appointed Li Dapeng as the head of Tuanjie Village.
