Chapter 52: Not Conscription?
At this time in Hedong County, Fusu sat on the ground with a long breath, and the whole person relaxed a lot.
After such a long time, it is impossible for the murderer who intended to assassinate his father to stay where he is! In this way, all the people within ten miles will be killed, and the chickens and dogs will not be left, will it not be indiscriminate killing of innocents?
If this matter spreads, how will the people of the world evaluate their father?
Isn't it true that the tyrannical Qin Zhi said?
To be able to save so many people and reverse the evaluation of the people of the world on Daqin is not in vain for him to make this trip.
It's just that, looking at the people who left with tears in their eyes not far away, Fusu still couldn't help but feel sad.
Really!
He was right to leave Mikawa-gun alone.
Rich, only the people of Sanchuan! The people of Yangwu are even more wealthy.
But after leaving Yangwu, the living conditions of the people have declined visibly, if the living conditions of the people in Sanchuan County are still very good, then the people of Hedong County are almost living in dire straits!
There was a rain just a few days ago, and the road in Hedong County was muddy, and every foot could bring up a foot of mud, and people became more and more tired the more they walked.
In addition, the people are no different from the people of Xianyang, their eyes are dull, their faces are expressionless, and they are busy farming every day.
Even so, if something happens, it is easy to be implicated and die.
This is the normal state of the people in the world!
But Fusu himself didn't notice it, although he saw that the people of Hedong were living in such a difficult way, and he was deeply sympathetic to this, but a secret joy flashed in his heart.
This is the people of the world he knows!
The world has been suffering for a long time!
It is necessary to practice benevolent government in order to solve the problems of the world.
Just when Fusu was thinking wildly, there was a sudden noise among the people in the distance, and Fusu looked at the sound curiously.
I saw a lot of excited people around a servant, as if they were saying something, pushing and shoving each other, and they were about to fight!
Fu Su didn't care about his exhaustion, so he quickly got up from the ground and ran over quickly, if this was a fight, it would be a big deal!
Without waiting for Fusu to run over, the official had already struck the gong impatiently and shouted, "Silence! ”
When the people saw that the servants were angry, their arrogance instantly withered, and they all looked at their feet with disappointed expressions, and several women even sat on the ground and began to wipe their tears.
As soon as Fusu wanted to go up and defend himself, he heard the official say impatiently, "You guys will cry after listening to it!" The county warden had to find people to build roads, and in addition to that, he had to recruit people to build houses and farm tools......"
Without waiting for the official to finish speaking, Fusu's face changed greatly.
Corvee?!
"Isn't it time to levy conscription yet? Now is the time for farming, and if there is no one at home, who will plant the fields? ”
As soon as Fusu spoke, many villagers seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately began to talk about it again.
The servant glared at Fusu viciously, and then struck the gong impatiently, "Can you listen to me?!" Not here to levy conscription! ”
Not levy forced labor?
Fusu was stunned when he heard this familiar sentence.
No...... Right?
"The county guard said, all the road builders are nearby, three meals a day, and they are full! Stay or not! ”
"Those who repair houses may go to the county or county, take care of food and housing, and have money!"
"I also want to recruit some young and strong people to quarry, take care of food and housing, and pay well!"
"In addition......"
Fusu was stunned for a moment, and the whole person was numb.
Sure enough, it's a familiar routine again!
It's not conscription, it's recruitment.
Hedong County, is it so rich?
As soon as the official explained, the people around him were as quiet as chickens in an instant, and they were all stunned in place.
Not a conscription?!
Take care of the food, pay back the money?!
And such a good thing?
"In addition, there are new orders coming down."
"Quansanchuan County has abolished the mouth money, you can choose one of the two to calculate the endowment, you can choose to serve or pay the money, the land rent and manuscript are also reduced to a certain extent, and those who reclaim the wasteland by themselves do not need to pay taxes within three years. Increased taxes on land and trade......"
When the official finished speaking, many people around him even howled excitedly.
"Is this true? Canceled the mouth money? ”
"The rent has also been reduced?"
"Really?"
The official responded, very proud, "Of course it's true!" The new county guard has just been promulgated, and the county and the county have already notified it, and you are remote here, so the notice is a little late. ”
Hiss!
Fusu suddenly gasped.
"Is this a rule in Hedong? Or has all the places in Daqin changed? ”
The official shook his head, "I don't know about this, anyway, that's what our county guard said, who knows what's going on elsewhere?" ”
The official didn't bother to deal with Fusu, in addition to announcing the new law this time, the most important thing was to recruit people, and every official had a task to require.
There's no way, in the words of the county guard, it's that there is a shortage of people to build everywhere now!
Gotta hire someone quickly!
"I'm just here to give you a brief notice, there will be someone who will come to explain the law later, you wait a few days!"
"Do you want to work? Sign up with me! If you want to be close to home, you can sign up to build roads, and women can sign up to cook! ”
"Those who have craftsmanship, build houses, carpentry, and are treated preferentially!"
"Powerful people in the prime of life, who want to make a lot of money, also come to me to sign up! It's in our Hedong County, and we won't go out of the county! ”
"Hurry up and sign up!"
Make hay!
The surrounding people were all excited by these two words, and they scrambled to raise their hands and squeeze to the front.
No one wants to miss this great opportunity!
Who knows when the next hire will be?
Fusu frowned, seeing that so many people wanted to work to make money, he couldn't help but remind, "If all the people in the village go to make money, what will happen to the land in the village?" ”
The official frowned impatiently and looked at Fusu, and couldn't help scolding in his heart, this person wouldn't want to do anything bad to him, right?
"The land in the village can be done by the old and weak women and children who stay in the village, why waste so many prime of life?"
Elderly, weak, women and children?
Fusu was stunned for a moment, thinking of the plough and donkey he had seen when he was in Yangwu, and subconsciously asked, "Could it be that the cultivation method of Sanchuan County has been transmitted to Hedong?" ”
"Sanchuan and Hedong are so close, what's so strange about it?"
Fusu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong for a while.
After a moment, a light flashed in Fusu's mind, and he suddenly realized a problem.
As far as he knew, Jiangxia had become the commander of Yangwu County two years ago, and the official was right, Sanchuan and Hedong were so close, and the plough should have been passed to Hedong a long time ago, why did it come now?
Isn't the timing a bit too coincidental?
