Volume 1 Disputes and Troubled Times Chapter 54 Three Counties

Meng Song listened to Wang Rong's words, his eyes lit up, this thing is good, he asked eagerly: "Then Du Wei, is this thing easy to make?" ”

Meng Song looked at the few people covered in stains, and felt a little apprehensive in his heart, this honeycomb stone is simply tailor-made for the army, marching and fighting are indispensable to set up camp, with this thing, it is convenient and safe, there is no need to organize the sergeants to cut down trees laboriously, and there is a lot of time left.

Wang Rong said with a smile: "To make the mold of honeycomb stone, Lao Xu is already building. The raw materials are very simple, sixty percent of stone nirvana powder, three percent of ordinary yellow mud and one percent of lime, stir them together with water, shape them and dry them in the sun. I'll write out the specific production method and give it to you, and then let them guide it and make it on a large scale. ”

Since the reconstruction of the city and the establishment of the county government and the western governor's office, the original disorderly state has been directly changed, and the county government needs to come forward and the governor's office to assist in solving the contradictions among the people, maintaining order, running schools, and organizing production.

The official list of the three cities and one fortress reported by Wang Rong to the Shuofang County Shou and the Northern Expedition General Mansion was approved. Li Qian officially became the county commander of the county seat, Liu Jian served as the county governor, and Wang Jian served as the county lieutenant; Bai Zheng served as the chief bookkeeper, that is, the chief clerk; Bai Li Zhao served as Prison Peng, Li Kai served as Ling Shi, and Yu Kezhi served as Wen Harmless. At the same time, more than 20 literate and hyphenated people were recruited from among the common people to serve as subordinate officials, and 100 soldiers were selected from the township soldiers to serve as county government officials.

The land on the west side of the northern part of the main road of the city was expropriated as a county government, and the people of this area were relocated to the southwest plot, and the corresponding land purchase remuneration was paid. On the east side of the north side of the main road, the newly built courtyard was given to the western governor's office.

Both prefectures were allocated a large amount of money, food, and materials, and after the requirements for personnel, money, materials, and places were complete, the county government and the governor's office began to officially open.

Due to the influx of immigrants, the county government is now busiest with re-registering the population and compiling household registration. At the same time, the county government also has to organize the people to reclaim the famine, although it is already summer and autumn, sowing grain has missed the spring ploughing, but it is still possible to plant vegetables that mature in a short time.

On the morning of that day, the first meeting of the two governments was held in the main hall of the county government. Wang Rong presided over the meeting as the governor of the western region, and Changshi Chukun and Sima Wumo attended as representatives of the governor's office. Li Qian, the commander of Lulu County, Guo Xi, the commander of Woye County, and Ji Jun of Linrong County also participated in the discussion.

Chu Kun, as the governor of the Governor's Mansion, took the lead in saying: "Governor, in fact, I have discussed with the three county commanders in advance, before the winter comes, we will strive to reclaim 200 hectares of new fields, I am afraid that the people of the whole city need to mobilize, and the old people and children who really can't go are planting vegetables on the land they have been allotted. ”

Chu Kun put a document on the table, this is a plan drawn up by the two governments, Wang Bian read the plan carefully, and said with a smile: "The plan drawn up by Mr. Chu and the county orders is good, and I have nothing to improve." ”

The four people sitting at the bottom nodded with a smile, they were very happy for Wang Rong's approval.

Wang Rong continued: "For mineral deposits, Luyu County is located south of Tushenze and east of Wolf Mountain, and has this inherent advantage in the exploration of mineral deposits in Wolf Mountain. Ben Duwei plans that in the future, the imperial court will send people to Wolf Mountain to mine mineral deposits, which will require manpower. However, the mineral deposits of Wolf Mountain cannot be eaten by one city in Luchuan County, so I hope that the three cities will jointly form a mining shop, and the money earned will be divided by the three cities. ”

Li Qian, Guo Xi and Ji Jun glanced at each other, bowed and said, "Captain, please tell me in detail." ”

Wang Rong took out a roll of jute paper from his bosom and said, "The specific and detailed plans are all on this piece of paper, you see, there is anything that needs to be corrected." ”

Wang Bian handed the jute paper to Chu Kun, and the four of them gathered together to look at what was written on the paper. Wang Rong said while they were watching: "Three county orders, this mining shop can set up one shop owner, two shop assistants, three account rooms, three mine owners, and several miners, divided into three mining teams. The specific management rules are all above. ”

Li Qian looked at Wang Rong and asked with some concern: "Duwei, if someone from the imperial court comes to preside over the mining of mineral deposits, can we set up a mining team to accept it?" ”

Wang Rong gave him a reassuring look and said: "I have already reported the establishment of a mining team to General Zhengbei and the Marquis of Linjin, and they all agree at this time, and the Marquis of Linjin has also set up two mining teams in Guangmu City and Linhe City. General Zhengbei also set up two mining teams in Shuofang City and Huqu City. With these two nobles in front, we don't have to worry. ”

Li Qian and the three of them listened to Wang Rong's words, and their hearts settled down a little.

Wang Rong continued: "As for how the imperial court is divided with the mining shop, Mr. Chu, boy, I am a big soldier, and those bends in the court are not at all clear, so I ask you to help mediate." ”

Chu Kun responded with an honorful face, and the three county magistrates on the side slandered in their hearts: This is called a court affair? The most critical negotiation power was not shared by the three of them, but the Governor's Mansion got it. They don't count what they say, but Wang Rong is in control.

Wang Rong continued: "Regarding the people of the three counties, I have some superficial thoughts, in Shuofang County, due to the living environment here, there is no household like Guanzhong. But even if the boy is too old and has a weak crown, or even a man who is standing at the end of his age, he will not be separated from his parents. It was not until the death of his father that the brothers divided the inheritance of fields, houses, farm tools, ploughing cattle, cloth, etc., and then divided the family.

Men who live in their parents' homes, even if they have already married and had children, are not considered to have a family and start a business, and they seriously lack the motivation to have children. This is the most important problem that the three counties are facing now, the three counties are all until the population is the absolute productivity, if this problem is not solved, how can we improve the productivity of the people, how can we make the three counties bigger and stronger? ”

Chu Kun didn't say anything this time, but waited for the three county commanders to speak. Guo Xi first said: "What does Du Wei mean to make up the households? ”

The so-called household Qi people, that is, to take the household as the unit, govern Li Shu, which is for the "household"; At the local level, it is forbidden to abolish the original local nobles, elders, patriarchs and other local leaders, all of whom are subjects of the emperor, and are called "Qi Min", which is generally called "Qi Min".

This move originated from the Shang Dynasty reform of the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and was later finalized and matured by the third emperor of Qin, which directly pushed the national strength of the Qin Dynasty to the peak.

Wang Rong nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Guo is really quick thinking, it is true, I want to encourage the enthusiasm of the people to vigorously have children, increase the population of the three counties, and reform customs is the top priority." The barbarian customs from the steppes were abolished, fathers, sons and brothers were forbidden to live in the same room, and the policy of small families was implemented. It is stipulated that where there are two or more sons in a household who have reached the age of establishing a household and do not live separately, an additional household registration tax shall be levied. The household registration is compiled, five families are in the family, and ten families are not, and the common people are required to register their household registration. ”

The three county commanders bowed their hands to indicate that they had received the order, and then it was about the affairs of the Governor's Mansion.
