Return to the inn.

After settling down, Zhou Mi did not stay in the room, but took Hu Meier to wander around the courtyard.

The gurgling water, the sparse bamboo shadows, and the slanting moonlight.

Zhou Mi's feeling had an indescribable purity, as if everything had slowed down at this moment.

Come to a gazebo.

only to find that the shopkeeper of the inn was sitting there drinking tea.

"Shopkeeper!"

Zhou Mi laughed and shouted.

"Yo, it's two guest officers."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and smiled: "It's so late, and you haven't rested yet?" ”

"Yes, it's a quiet night, so I want to go out for a walk. If the shopkeeper is fine, how about talking to us? Zhou Mi asked.

"That's fine!"

"Two girls, sit!"

The shopkeeper's voice was soft, although he was puzzled. But he didn't say much.

After all, it is also a good pleasure to have two girls to drink tea with you late at night.

"Shopkeeper, we have something to understand!"

Zhou Mi paused for a moment before continuing: "The rice in Yazhou is sweet, but I haven't seen many fertile fields all the way, what's going on?" ”

"Oh, what a thing!"

The shopkeeper laughed: "At the beginning, Lord Zhizhou divided Yazhou into different areas, for example, the main urban area of Yazhou is an administrative and commercial area, and the scenery of Boulder Bay is beautiful, so it is a place for tourism and vacation, and the sea water of Changfeng Port is deep, so it is regarded as a port, and many goods will also go through that channel." The area of Nanxiang Bay is relatively flat, with few miscellaneous stones, which is suitable for farming, so it is also an agricultural area! ”

"Each region has different functions and division of labor, and then it is uniformly deployed by Yazhou City."

"Ensuring the supply and survival of every region."

When the shopkeeper said this, he sighed slightly, and then continued: "Therefore, the people of Yazhou can everyone have enough food and clothing." ”

"According to the words of Lord Zhizhou, this is the centralized allocation of resources!"

The shopkeeper said happily.

"I see!"

Zhou Mi was a little surprised in his heart, but he didn't think too much about it.

In fact, it is normal for a city to be divided into different regions in different places, and each place has different responsibilities.

It's just that Su Chen can deploy every place so easily, there are still some means.

"That's not right!"

At this time, Hu Mei'er showed a little doubt in her eyes, and then asked softly: "It's not difficult to do this thing, but won't the Nanxiangwan farmer be unbalanced?" After all, the income from farming is relatively small, and it is definitely not as comfortable as in the main urban area! ”

"Nor will it!"

The shopkeeper laughed twice.

"Please also ask the shopkeeper to solve your doubts!"

Zhou Mi continued to ask at this moment, and she was also eager to know.

"Actually, all of this is also the credit of Lord Zhizhou. For example, if someone is demoted here, Lord Zhizhou will carefully look at the file, and then arrange for someone to re-interrogate, and after a new sentence, he will send this person to Nanxiang Bay to farm! ”

"This is the so-called labor reform!"

"Labor reform?"

Zhou Mi was very curious about this new type of word: "What is that?" ”

"For example, you were demoted to Yazhou. It's because he is a traitor, and the evidence is conclusive, and there is no doubt. Generally, you will be sentenced to five years, and during these five years, you need to go to Nanxiang Bay to farm. ”

"I won't eat or drink less, but there are certain requirements for the planting area of grain and the amount of planting!"

"If you do a good job, you can reduce the sentence!"

The shopkeeper said softly.

"But if they are not imprisoned, will no one escape?"

At this time, Zhou Mi was a little puzzled, and asked again!

"Escape? Where to flee to. Here in Yazhou, your identity information can be found by the government. Even if you run away, you don't have any money on you, and you don't have a place to eat, do you? ”

"What's more, although Nanxiang Bay needs to be farmed, the scenery is good. In addition, I can eat and dress warmly, and there is a unified housing, I don't know how much more comfortable it is than outside! Who is willing to go? As long as the sentence is over, the government will give them a one-time payment for some of the work you have done during your sentence! ”

"Help them return to Yazhou, so that they have some money to do some small business."

"Moreover, you can continue to stay in Nanxiang Bay to farm, and you can get paid!"

The shopkeeper said happily: "There are many people who don't want to work hard every day to open a shop and do business, but there are many people who have to go to Nanxiang Bay to farm, anyway, the food and drink are managed by the government, and there is still some money, and you can go out for a recreation when you have nothing to do, why not do it?" ”

Hear it here!

Zhou Mi also suddenly realized.

According to this statement, this is a prison sentence, this is simply a vacation.

"But can the government's finances keep up?"

Zhou Mi was puzzled, this is everywhere where money is needed, can the government's finances keep up? What did he take to raise such a large group of people?

"I don't understand this. However, since Lord Zhizhou came to Yazhou, Yazhou has become richer and richer, and the people have been able to eat well and dress warmly. The shopkeeper took a sip of tea and said seriously.

At this time, Hu Meier realized that something was wrong.

Doubting again: "It's not right, every year the government escorts the prisoners, even if there are no dead people on the road, there are not many." But it has to supply the grain of the whole Yazhou. That's not enough, is it? ”

"Of course it's not enough!"

At this time, the shopkeeper nodded happily and said, "However, naturally there are other laborers!" ”

"Labor?"

Zhou Mi felt a little strange: "This word is fresh, I don't know where these laborers come from?" ”

"That's a lot of it, at the beginning, Yazhou was flooded with Japanese pirates, and Lord Zhizhou took us to build ships, fight back against the Japanese pirates, and captured a lot of prisoners, many of these Japanese pirates are indefinite, that is, they need to serve life sentences. These people are now honestly staying in Nanxiang Bay, but they are different from ordinary prisoners who are escorted, they are guarded by special personnel! ”

"If someone escapes, they'll be caught right away!"

The shopkeeper said softly.

Zhou Mi and Hu Meier glanced at each other, their eyes full of shock.

This Su Chen actually arrested these widows, and trapped them in Nanxiang Bay to help him farm? This method is simply unheard of.

And there are so many prisoners imprisoned in the official office of the entire Great Zhou, if it can be used.

It's also not a small one...... Workforce!
