Chapter 135: Road Construction
Pingyun County.
This is a tribe that used to be a witch tribe.
The imperial court doesn't know how many times it has sent people to suppress it.
After serving three consecutive terms as a prefectural magistrate, all after suffering an accidental death within a month.
The imperial court sent a lot of people to come over and investigate it strictly, and arrested many, many people.
There's a lot of blood shed here.
Then he took office as a new prefectural commander.
But it was clear that the people of the court didn't want to put much effort into helping the Wu Clan become better.
Generally, it is the county order that has been degraded that will be arranged here.
stayed up until the end of the term, and immediately left.
The court doesn't trust these natives of the Wu clan.
So officials have always been expatriates.
There are instructions above, that is, to keep suppressing the Wu clan.
With the passage of time.
Don't want to be poor here.
When Hanzhi came here, he found that the streets here were all dirt, and even the cheapest bluestone slabs were not paved.
Han Zhi thought that Pingyun County was very poor, but he didn't expect Pingyun County to be so poor.
A woman knelt in front of Hanzhi with two children about three or four years old. They were also wearing patched clothes, and their little faces were dirty, and they looked very pitiful.
"Lord Prefectural, please give us a piece of land to cultivate!"
The middle-aged woman cried, "As long as you can give us some land so that we don't starve to death, even if it is a cow or a horse, it will be fine!" ”
When the two little boys next to him heard their mother say this, they also followed their mother to kowtow to Hanzhi and begged.
"Big sister, please save my mother and brother!"
"Yes, big sister, our family is really going to die. As long as you are willing to help us once, we are willing to be slaves, cows and horses! ”
The two little boys looked at Hanzhi with their eyes blank, and their cute appearance was simply distressing.
Hanzhi sighed, picked up his hand, and hugged the two children.
In the borderless land of Pingyun County, the cold branches made people put it all away.
Hanzhi is also very poor, and there are too many people under her hands.
Hanzhi transferred all the three thousand guards, so basically no one in Pingyun County dared to go against her head-on.
Han Zhi said to the woman: "Don't worry, now our Pingyun County is mainly short of food, I see that most of the people in Pingyun County grow medicinal herbs.
I will certainly not stop you from planting anything on your own land.
But I hope that the current land in Pingyun County can grow food, and the excess grain cannot be sold, and there is no need to worry, our county government will buy it according to the market price, and the current price is two big dollars a pound of grain.
As soon as I took office, I bought it for three big bucks a pound.
Then there is the need for renovation of the streets, and all those who came to work in the past will be given two meals and two big bucks a day.
If you perform well, you can have three big bucks a day.
If you don't want to eat in the cafeteria, you can bring your own utensils to eat at home. ”
As soon as Han Zhi's words fell, there was a sudden burst of discussion around him.
Most people still don't believe that the current grain is too precious and not the harvest season.
Those grain merchants are very black.
By the time of the harvest, the price of grain became very cheap again.
And Hanzhi is still willing to recruit workers, and the wages of the recruits can be paid daily, and the most important thing is to eat.
Who doesn't love such treatment?
The woman hurriedly said excitedly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" ”
Han Zhi smiled: "Since the imperial court appointed me as the county commander of Pingyun County, everything I did should be.
Everything I do is for the good of our Pingyun County.
Let's build the road first, and after the road is repaired, I will ask the grain merchants in the capital to transport the grain over.
I'm here to open a store, two big bucks and a pound of staple food, if you have a better way, you can also open a store, cheaper than what I sell.
The reason why I opened the store is just to let everyone have a benchmark in their hearts, and they can't just increase the price, and all the food in my store will never increase in price.
No matter what the situation is in the future, it will always be two big bucks.
The rest of the merchants want to open a store in our county, and if it doesn't sell cheaper than my store, no one will buy anything.
If we want the grain store in the county to open quickly, let's work hard. ”
Hanzhi's words made everyone's hearts surge, and being able to eat a full stomach every day was the goal they were pursuing.
After Hanzhi finished speaking, he asked people to start recruiting, as long as they are willing to sign up, they can start working now.
I can eat it today.
It's only over the New Year, and the weather is still a bit cold.
The food for the winter at home has long been running out.
Almost half of the population has food in their homes.
So everybody started signing up.
The main reason is that Hanzhi's reputation is very good, not only the rice, but also the meals in the canteen are very good, and there is braised pork to eat, and each person can get three pieces.
Hanzhi saw so many people actively participating, and she was also very happy.
Hanzhi did not ask people to build the county government immediately, but built the road first.
In terms of food, Hanzhi did not treat everyone badly.
Today is her first day in office, which is a happy event, so Hanzhi made fragrant braised pork.
Everyone smelled the fragrance, and one by one they ran over and rushed to the table.
Guards stood guard.
They didn't dare to grab the vegetables, and honestly lined up.
Just looking at the fragrant braised pork in the pot, one by one drooling.
"I didn't expect that I wouldn't be able to eat meat during the Chinese New Year, but now I can eat meat when I work for the county magistrate."
"Yes! It's so nice that if I can eat another portion of this meat every month in the future, I'll be satisfied! ”
…………
Everyone was sighing, they felt that the prefectural order was really merciful.
Hanzhi was smiling on the side, watching everyone eat with relish, and her mood was also very happy.
Originally, there were still people who hesitated.
Seeing such a scene, smelling this fragrant smell.
I can't hold back anymore.
All of them signed up to go to work.
……
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and after this time, Hanzhi has completed the statistics of the entire village.
There are 763 families in the whole village, and there are more than 5,000 men, women and children.
Everyone started farming after work, and they were not idle.
After all, this work is gone, and only the land is the foundation of their life.
It's tiring, but it's fulfilling.
Everyone's efficiency is also very high these days, and soon a straight road was built.
Now the concrete road is almost laid, but because there is no cement, the work can only be stopped for the time being.
Han Zhi stood at the intersection of Pingyun County and looked at the scene in front of him, and was very happy in his heart.
"This road has finally been repaired, and Pingyun County will not have to rely on walking in the future."
Xiaolian sighed and said.
Xiaolian has been following Hanzhi for a long time.
It's been a long time since she'd seen Haneda have such a happy expression.
