In the morning, the mountains around Luxian were shrouded in a thin mist.

On the flat field, the soft rice seedlings that are green and dripping, and the green bushes of banana leaves are swaying in the wind, showing a sense of vitality.

Of the 12 wasted policies of the dynasty, one of them was "scattered profits".

Jia Gongyan of the former dynasty was sparse, "Gather it in good times, and disperse it in poor times." Accumulate and disperse, so that the interests of the people. ”

In times of famine, the court lent seeds and grain to the people to benefit them.

Therefore, when these decrees and measures were issued in the first month, although there was a delay, it did not delay the planting of rice by the people of Yangjiang Prefecture.

After all, Yangjiang Prefecture is a non-disaster area that has been implicated, and if the spring planting is delayed, the prefect, prefecture and county officials, lieutenant governors and others will be the first batch of people to be dismissed.

Therefore, for the sake of their own future and official positions, these people should actively supervise and urge themselves, and dare not make any mistakes.

Outside Luxian County.

If there is no dug up and no grass grows in the yellow earth, this disaster may have been carried away by time without leaving a trace.

Song Huan still remembers the scene when he went out of the city for the first time this year.

By that time the refugees had been evacuated, and there was calm outside the city.

But the dense forests and overgrown meadows have all disappeared.

Only a piece of yellow remains.

It's bare, and if you want to find a caterpillar, you probably have to "dig three feet into the ground".

In order to ensure the safety of Luxian County, the county decree of Luxian County does not allow refugees to enter the city.

Although there were people in the city who gathered in their homes to loot food, they were generally better than the refugees.

At the very least, there is a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

The refugees could not bear the hunger, and they ate as long as they could eat the bark and wild grasses they could.

Song Huan had never seen the scene at that time, but he could also know the difficulties at that time according to the situation outside the city.

Because of the famine, Song Huan's plan to go hunting outside the city came to naught.

When Song Huan was still struggling to find a way to make money, an unexpected person came to the door.

Ya Gong A, Liang Kuan.

First of all, he had a familiar foundation at the city gate, and then set up a stall in the back alley before, and deliberately approached the familiar people in order to find out the news.

Song Huan looked at Liang Kuan, who was dressed in a green robe, and after a few polite greetings, he invited him into the courtyard to sit, and the door was open.

Song Huan is a woman, Liang Kuan is a man, and the door is naturally opened to avoid suspicion.

After Liang Kuan drank a cup of tea, he said the purpose of this trip, "I heard that your martial arts are good, and I have been short of people under my command recently, so you can help you for a few days......"

The specific situation is that the yamen wants to send people to escort the prisoners who gathered into the house to rob the grain to the penal colony, and the yamen have all gone to escort the prisoners, so they can only temporarily mobilize a few people to temporarily take up their errand, Song Huan is one of Liang Kuan's choices.

It is said that the place of exile is not far away, only four or five days away, and it takes almost ten days to go back and forth.

After all, Yangjiang Mansion was one of the exiles in the capital, and it was not far away.

Although, escorting exiled prisoners was an obvious chore.

But in fact, this seemingly arduous work of escorting exiles was a scramble for the officials.

We have to start from the beginning.

In this era, the vast majority of servants were paid very little.

At the end of a year, he can only get twelve taels of silver, which is worse than a yeoman farmer.

On average, it is only a few pennies a day, and even if you save money, you can't meet the day's food and drink.

Since being a servant can't satisfy one's own food and drink, why do so many people still do it?

Because the main income of the servants does not depend on the salary, but on the fees and extra money earned from the work.

During the work of the officials, if there are cases to be handled in the county government, it will inevitably involve business trips, food and accommodation, and the yamen will not reimburse these expenses, so they can only be paid by the parties.

During the period when the official is handling the case, the more time it is delayed, the more benefits can be obtained.

It's just that the practice of the government will empty the purse of the parties, not a fair and upright move.

This is why the Yang family was reluctant to report to the official when Yang Erya died in the village before, and this is one of the reasons.

Because a person who has already died has to spend his savings to hire a servant, the Yang family obviously can't afford such an expense, and in the end it can only end up in that situation.

Ahem, it's far away, and the topic is pulled back.

Although it is profitable to handle cases, most of the time there are no cases to handle, and at this time, the officials also have a way.

They would target prostitutes and slaughterers for their enrichment, demanding bad rules from them.

The practice of the officials is regarded as a "reasonable practice" in ordinary states and counties, which is also a way for the yamen to support the officials.

But the money was obviously not enough for their daily needs, which is why the officials rushed to escort the exiled prisoners.

First, the families of prisoners often give a lot of "filial piety money".

In order to make the prisoners feel better on the way to the penal colony, the relatives of the prisoners would often give silver taels to the escort officials.

This gives them an opportunity for "grey income".

Second, there are many ways to escort exiled prisoners.

The errand of escorting exiled prisoners is very different from other errands.

Even if the imperial court does not give subsidies, the state and county yamen will find a way to entangle them.

For the officials, this is another additional income.

In addition to this, although the prisoners were exiled, they also needed food rations to stay alive.

The cost of their meals was in the hands of the escorting officials, and it was up to the officials to give the prisoners enough or less to eat on the way, or even to starve the prisoners for a few meals.

If the prisoner has money, he can naturally eat and drink well, but the prisoner has no money, and the officials cannot work in vain.

This is the reason why the officials deduct the prisoner's food money at every turn.

Or is it about the ability to "banknote".

The third and final point is that you can avoid tedious and menial work.

Do you think that only modern people are unwilling to be social animals? It's the same in this era.

Escorting exiled prisoners is hard, but there is also a sense of ease.

You don't need to report to the yamen, you can be escorted on time and on time every day, and you can enjoy delicious food after staying overnight.

It simply couldn't be too comfortable.

It may be that the oil and water of this escort is very large, and Liang Kuan asked Song Huan to be a temporary servant with a salary of 500 wen for ten days, and he will still return to the people after the fact.

With an average salary of 50 yuan a day, she can be regarded as temporarily stepping into the "high-income" group.

After sending Liang Kuan away, Song Huan took out the clothes that Fu Yuanzhi had left before and put them on, they were too big and didn't fit.

She never thought she would have to dress up as a man to go to work.

To be honest, I don't understand how he would think of letting himself be a delicate girl to do this job?

Three days later, she arrived at the location and understood.

Although the clothes were clean but crumpled, several people immediately changed color when they saw Song Huan, and quickly stepped back to distance themselves.

This should be the few people who robbed themselves?

Song Huan looked up and down to confirm again, after coming over for so long, she didn't remember it very clearly, after all, it was night, and the light was dim.

One of them dared to ask Song Huan, "You, what are you doing?" ”

Song Huan clasped his hands around his chest, raised his chin slightly, and made a high-minded appearance, they were like a group of defeated generals, and said in a bad tone, "Liang Kuan didn't tell you?" ”

The people on the other side glanced at each other, and their eyes were bitter.

They knew there was going to be a leader, but they didn't expect it to be this girl!

What the hell was Liang Kuan thinking?

A few people shed tears of pain, and they knew that this errand was not good!!

Song Huan was secretly happy in his heart.

These people really have a backstage, if she sends these people to prison without knowing the sky, not only can they come out early, but she is estimated to have a lot of trouble.
