Chapter 159: Is Beishan County worth visiting?
Meizi couldn't help but think that it would be nice to have this kind of work every winter, so that she could support herself even if she didn't have a field.
"What do you think!" Wan Kim didn't know when he sat next to her.
Meizi came back to her senses and said with a smile: "When you want to engrave, it's better to work hard." ”
"We've been here for two or three months and have learned a lot of crafts, not to mention this just learned, but the mason has learned some ways, and I can also help if the family wants to build a house in the future."
It's a pity that the masons out there don't want women, otherwise I would have gone out and earned a wage. ”
Meizi said: "If you want to make money, you mainly have to have a way, and people who have a way, even if they don't know this craft, they also have a master to take them to learn slowly." For those like us who have no way, even if they steal some crafts, it will be difficult to use them. ”
"It would be nice if Beishan County had some work like this every year." Wan Jin also said something like that.
Meizi smiled and didn't answer.
The next day, they got up early to go to the east wall to engrave letters, and the rest of the village rarely slept a little longer, and when it was dawn outside, the official in charge of this group struck the gong, and the convener lined up to settle the wages.
More than a dozen people carried their bags out of the pit, thinking that it was almost them, so the official came to call people, and there were many people in the place where they didn't want to settle the bill.
"It's not your turn yet, why did you call us out so early?"
"What are you talking about? Don't speak, let me listen? This person pressed a few people who were talking around him, and came to the side to listen, and only then did he know that it was the county lord of Beishan County who came, and he was at the front to watch the official pay for his salary.
As soon as this person passed the news to the others, he heard the official in front of him shouting: "All stand up, the county lord has something to say." ”
"Everyone, thanks to your busy work for dozens of days, the city wall of our Beishan County has finally been repaired, and you must be homesick after being away from home for many days." Meng Changqing stood on a high platform under the guard of several Royal Forest Army, "I will settle the salary with you today and distribute it, so that you can go home for a good year!" ”
The people standing below naturally thanked them repeatedly.
In today's world, it is one thing to go out to work, and it is another thing to be able to take home the wages after you finish it.
Especially for the government to do things, especially in Yangmen County, whether the government reaches out to ask for things or labor, then you have to be ready to give them for nothing, and if you want to ask the government for money, I am afraid that you have to put your net worth on the line.
Beishan County is really rare.
"Today is a good day, I won't delay you too much, but there is one thing I still want you to know." Meng Changqing continued: "You all know that the population of my Beishan County is small, and now there are only more than 1,000 people, if any of you are willing to come to my Beishan County to live, I will definitely do my best to help you achieve it."
As long as you have this will, go to my yamen and say, you don't need to go to the county yamen to open any official documents, and I will go to your yamen to connect with you, and I will not ask you to make more efforts for this matter. ”
As soon as these words came out, the following discussion suddenly started.
Meng Changqing raised his hand and pressed it down, "Of course, if I mention this matter to you rashly, you will definitely not understand."
I feel that I live well in the original territory, why bother to move to Beishan County? In this way, we will be farther away from our relatives, friends, and neighbors who get along with each other.
Don't worry, listen to what the official has to say.
Naturally, it will be good for you to let you come, and the share of the family property you have lost will definitely be made up for in my place, even more than you originally had!
Those who move to Beishan County before March next year will be exempted from the local taxes of their entire families for the next year.
According to the population of your family, the government allocates land and homestead land for cultivation for you, and both men and women, as long as they are over three years old, are counted as the population.
For example, a family of seven, with two elderly people and a husband and wife in the middle, the husband and wife gave birth to three children, the eldest sister and the two younger brothers.
The eldest sister is over seven years old, the middle boy is five years old, and the youngest is less than five months old in her hand.
So how many things can such a family get in my Beishan County?
In addition to the child who was less than five months old, his family had a total of six people, and he could get six points of land for building a house and twelve acres of arable land.
After three years, when the child grows up healthy, he can ask the government for another share of homestead land and two acres of arable land.
You can choose this homestead in the same place or in another place.
In addition to the land, the government will also distribute seeds and agricultural tools on a quarterly basis.
If you don't believe it, you can ask the people of Beishan County, what I said is what they have obtained.
The government will treat you and the original Beishan County people the same.
As for those who are reluctant to have relatives and friends, you can bring them with you. If there are many people who are brought, there will be other rewards from the government.
You settle down here, there are only benefits, I, Meng Changqing, promise that I will never let you down! ”
After she finished this long paragraph, she paused slightly, and then continued: "Suddenly telling you such a thing, you must need time to think about it, I also said just now, the deadline is before March next year, and there is time for you to discuss with your family."
You can go back for the New Year with peace of mind, and when the weather warms up next year, the vast land of Beishan County is waiting for you to settle down!
That's it, start paying your salary. ”
As soon as these words came out, the originally extremely important money was reduced to a second-class matter.
The people talked among themselves, and their hearts were about their own plans.
"Young Master, how many of them can come to us?" Bafang asked after Meng Changqing.
"I don't know." Meng Changqing said, "Look at their courage, look at my luck." ”
"Why don't you go back and talk to them? Let's talk more about the benefits of coming here. ”
"I've said enough, only the benefits, not the risks and obligations at all." Meng Changqing said: "The better the words, the more defensive the smart people are." If I don't do that, I'm not putting myself in danger. ”
"Didn't Master Wei say that extraordinary means are used in times of tight time?"
But Meng Changqing said: "No matter how extraordinary it is, you must leave room for yourself." ”
These people who worked by the wall went back not only with their luggage and the last payment of wages, but also with a big piece of news.
As these people returned home, there was a lot of talk in various places.
The hottest thing in the whole Liangzhou is to discuss what kind of place is Beishan County? Is it worth going?
When Meizi heard the news, she felt pleasantly surprised, and if she didn't rush anything else, she rushed to the county lord of Beishan County, and she was also willing to come to live in Beishan County.
She worked next to the east wall and thought about it for three days, thinking about how to persuade Zeng Dashu when she went back, if the family didn't agree, then what should she do?
is willing to part with the Zeng family, and she also wants to come to Beishan County.
It's just that I don't know if Beishan County is willing to want someone like her.
Thinking like this, when she left the wall, she called the good Zuo Datou to inquire, "If the woman who has been divorced wants to come to Beishan County alone, is it okay?" ”
"Absolutely!" Zuo Datou said, "As long as the people of my great beam can obey the law, regardless of whether they are men or women, as long as they come here, they will be given land." ”
