Daming heir

Wooden bridge over Lishui River.

The voice of County Magistrate Li Yulong reached the ears of every common people through the loudspeaker.

Now the magistrate of Dayong County has unintentionally gained a lot of popular support.

As the people mentioned above all know, the money they received today was given by the army sent by the imperial court.But Li Yulong, the county lord, did not deduct even a tael of silver, which was much better than those county lords in the past.

When Li Yulong gives his voice, Dayong County will still have great work.

The people fell silent, waiting for the words of the county magistrate who had found an unprecedented way to become an official.

Li Yulong stood on the box and looked at the more than 500 pairs of eyes shining with expectation.

He decided that the path he was about to choose was not wrong.

A sense of pride was rising in Li Yulong's heart.

Li Yulong cleared his throat, put one hand on his hips and held up a loudspeaker with the other.

"Folks, there are still a few survivors in the army. I hope the folks can help."

"Of course, the money and food will still be sufficient according to the previous amount."

Before Li Yulong finished speaking, the people below began to boil.

You can still get paid to work for the court.

Who wouldn’t want to do this?

Before Li Yulong could explain what kind of work he wanted to do, the people had already agreed.

"Your Majesty, let alone a few jobs, it's just a matter of one sentence for us to do it until the end of the year."

"Yes, yes, it doesn't matter whether it's money or not, we are just willing to work for the imperial court."

"Shh! Keep your voice down, otherwise the court won't give you the money!"

"..."

With a smile on his face, Li Yulong raised his hand to signal the people to quiet down.

Then, he continued: "But these next tasks are not as easy as the ones we were asked to cut down trees and dig canals before. They are all hard work and require us to work hard and work hard."

"Just tell me, Lord County, just ask us to dig the hole on Tianmen Mountain. We will go up the mountain with rakes and hoes now!"

Li Yulong's expression changed immediately, and he shook his head repeatedly: "I wouldn't dare!"

Li Yulong was the only one in Dayong County who knew that the emperor was in the army.

Moreover, Li Yulong also knew that the emperor was preparing to climb Tianmen Mountain in the near future to take a good look at the hole.

If there are no accidents, once the hole comes into the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor, something will probably be repaired on the mountain.

If this group of people digs it out, the sky will really fall.

Li Yulong hurriedly explained: "Actually, it's not a side matter. I just hope that everyone can clean up the Lishui River, our mother river in Dayong County, dig the river bed deeper, strengthen the dams on both sides of the river, and by the way, Build a steel and concrete bridge over the Lishui River.

Of course this is one of them, just one of them.

The second is to open the mountain. The imperial court wants to build a cement factory here.Well, you don’t care what a cement factory is.As long as you know that after the cement plant is built, we will have Shimen County in the east build a cement road along the Lishui River. "

Build rivers, build bridges, dig mountains, build factories, and build roads.

This is the trump card Zhu Yunxi has prepared for the people of Dayong County and the southwest.

Li Yulong said with certainty: "Well, it is estimated that tens of thousands of people will be needed to complete these tasks. And from now on, half of the wages and half of the rations will be paid. This will not delay everyone's work and delay in farming, leaving the family without food. And I can continue to make money.”

This time the scene was completely boiling.

As soon as the county official opened his mouth, he asked tens of thousands of people to work together.

As for how to calculate the wages for this work, the people simply ignored it. After all, after setting an example this time, no one would think that the court could deny them wages later.

In fact, the people present have begun to think about the government.

"Your Majesty, if the court wants people to work, we people will definitely do it. But you said tens of thousands of people will be needed this time, and we don't have enough people here."

"Yes, yes, even if we go home and bring others with us, it won't be enough."

"Your Majesty, do you want to talk to the imperial court? Don't let the imperial court hold you accountable if you are short of people."

"My lord, please take care of yourself."

Looking at the people in front of him who suddenly became so considerate, Li Yulong was so moved.

When did these common people stop going against me and started to care about their career?

Although Li Yulong was moved, he did not dare to forget the business and continue what was explained in Daying.

"Everyone, please be quiet. I accept your wishes and thank you all."

"However, we must do a good job in the matters assigned by the court. After all, the court has affection for us, and we cannot be unjust. This is not the temperament of us mediocre people, don't you think so?"

Li Yulong shouted and stopped.

And his words immediately caused a roar from the people present.

"That's it!"

"cant."

"We people in Dayong County are not cowards. The court is in charge of food and housing, pays us enough wages, and doesn't treat us badly at all. We can't let the court feel cold!"

"Yes! We can't let the imperial court feel cold!"

"I'll go home right now and drag my mother-in-law and baby over to work!"

The people have completely exploded.

Li Yulong suddenly couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't get excited, everyone. The government also knows that everyone has been very tired from work recently. This is not the next work and will have to wait for some time. The court is considerate of us and will rest for ten days.

Since everyone just said that, what I mean is... everyone has received their wages today. Those who should go home should go home, and those who should go to the city to buy things for the old ladies, mothers, and children at home should go to the city.

During the ten days since we have been home, let's all work harder to see if there may be more people working, and invite them all to come back to work together.

The court did not allow everyone to work hard. Everyone brought a person and gave him two taels of silver. This was free. There was no need to work, as long as he brought someone to work.

Ten days later, no matter how many people there are, we will keep them. Let’s do this job for the court together. Let’s keep doing it!Everyone said, can this be done? "

If it weren't for Daying's request, Li Yulong would have felt that he had heard wrong.

Whenever the court calls people to do work, and the work is not done yet, as long as the people are brought in, money must be given first.

What are these things called.

But when he thought that all the money was for the people of Dayong County under his rule, Li Yulong secretly expected that if these people could call out all the people in the mountains, preferably tens of thousands of people, then It's really good to call one.

Anyway, the imperial court recently brought money and food in batches from the provincial capital by boat, and he could see them clearly.

Since the money and food have been transported here, as the official of Dayong County, I have no reason to let the money and food be taken back.

As for Qiaotou, more than 500 people were really excited this time.

As long as you bring someone after ten days, the court will give you two taels of silver.

If you bring ten people, that would be a full 20 taels of silver!

What about a hundred people?

Don't dare to think. Don't dare to think.

Everyone saw that there seemed to be piles of money in front of them, and they were hitting them.

The common people have been knocked unconscious by the snowflakes and silver all over the sky.

The hill closest to the bridge where the silver is found.This side is the bridge and that side is the camp.

On the top of the mountain, the trees on the entire mountain had been cut down by the people, and several watchtowers and fortresses had risen from the ground.

Trench trenches and artillery positions were clearly visible on the mountain.

On the watchtower at the top of the mountain.

Zhu Yunxi put away the telescope in his hand, with a satisfied expression on his face.

Beside him were Zhu Zhen, Zhu Gaochi, and Zhu Shangbing.

Zhu Yunxi spoke first: "What are you doing today?"

Zhu Zhen replied with a smile: "The old man took people out of the camp early in the morning, and said he wanted to go to the foot of Tianmen Mountain to see the cave. I think the old man will have to climb up the mountain sooner or later to have a look, so why not take the road up the mountain as a guide? It should be included in the scope of construction, so that the mountain road will be rugged and it will be difficult for the old man to go up the mountain."

Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Then add them. I think after ten days, there will be many people coming from the mountains."

Zhu Zhen had a smile on his face.

Not only did Dayong County Magistrate Li Yulong not expect it, but even Zhu Zhen did not expect that Zhu Yunxi would have such a skill.

As long as the people present today go back and bring back each person, they will be given two taels of silver.

This is enough to get people killed. I think after these people go back today, they will do nothing but think about how to get people killed.

Although the court wants to give money in real terms.

But even if these people here today can attract 10 people, the court only needs to spend 20 taels of silver.

It's a good deal.

What's even more frightening is that as long as this matter spreads through the people here today, the people in the entire Hundred Thousand Mountains will be shocked.

Especially today, these people are going back with the wages they got from this work.

The people in the mountains saw the white money.

No need for the common people today to say anything, those people will take the initiative to ask how they can earn this money.

People's hearts are favorable.

No matter how much benefit the chieftains hiding in the mountains offered, the people in the mountains would only come to Dayong County.

rebel?

By that time, even if the chieftains want to induce the natives and Miao people in the mountains to rebel, they will only say that they have no time to rebel now.

Because everyone is thinking about coming to Dayong County to work and make money.

How can you make money by rebelling?

Rebellion will lead to beheading, but work can make money.

Zhu Gaochi reminded from the side: "Money doesn't matter. The most important thing now is to prepare enough food to prevent too many people from coming out of the mountains. By then we will not have enough food to feed these people."

Zhu Zhen immediately opened his mouth to explain: "We have already sent word that the Wuchang Prefecture has a yamen, and they are bringing over the old grain from the granary in the provincial capital. Wait another two months for this year's summer grain to be put into the warehouse, and then there will be endless grain here. .”

After Zhu Gaochi stopped, he felt relieved.

In addition to Jiaozhi Road, Huguang Road is now the place that produces the most grain in the Central Plains.

At the beginning, the imperial court promoted the idea of ​​allocating people into acres. In addition to Zhili Road, Huguang Road was the first to start.

The new tombs outside Wuchang City are enough to show how much effort the imperial court put into implementing the policy of dividing every land into an acre on Huguang Road.

There is something to be thankful for here.

At the beginning, the imperial court did not implement the idea of ​​dividing the land into acres among the chieftains in the southwest at the same time.

Otherwise, it is very likely that the final result will be that the wealthy families in Huguang Road who are dissatisfied with the policy of dividing the land from one person to another will collude with the chieftains in the mountains to rebel.

The wealthy families have money and food, and the chieftains have soldiers and horses.

The two only need to collude together.

Huguang Road was really going to be in chaos a few years ago.

Zhu Yunxi hummed and said, "Let's talk to the baggage camp again and choose a place by the Lishui River to build an additional granary."

……

Qin Jianglong is a citizen of Maoyanhe Town, Dayong County.

Maoyan River Town is between Dayong County and Yongshun Xuanwei Division. Across the river is the boundary of Yongshun Xuanwei Division.

The town is more than 50 miles away from Dayong County.

Less than half of it is a mountain road.

After Qin Jianglong received the wages for the previous ten days of work, he bought some things in the county town for his father, mother, mother-in-law and children. He also pulled some cloth for the whole family, preparing to let his mother-in-law provide a home for the family. The old man and the young man sewed a new suit of clothes.

Carrying a large bag of things, Qin Jianglong hurried back with several other people from the same town from the afternoon of the day he received the money. By the afternoon of the next day, he finally returned to Maoyanhe Town.

Maoyanhe Town is not big.

With hundreds of households, if it were placed in the Central Plains, it would be a larger village at most.

So when Qin Jianglong and others came back, they immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the town.

Especially the large and small bags of things that Qin Jianglong and the others brought home.

Soon, the truth and the reason reached the ears of everyone in the town.

Qin Jianglong was thinking about what the county magistrate said, about getting someone to give him two taels of silver. When he got home, he just put down the things he brought back, drove the baby out of the house, closed the door, and hurriedly got into bed with his mother-in-law and played with it for a while. Just left the house.

When Qin Jianglong left the house, he arrived in the town.

Only then did I realize that the other companions who had returned together had already spread the news.

Qin Jianglong couldn't help but cursed secretly, he was probably going to miss out on a lot of money.

Then he set his mind on his relatives' house in Mayang Village on the other side of the river.

"Brother Long, you are going out at this time. Are you and your sister-in-law planning to have another baby?"

"Brother Long, we are in such a hurry in this world, but have you been tired these past few days?"

At the entrance of the town, a burst of ridicule came.

After people laughed, they focused on going to the county town to work.

Qin Jianglong just smiled and remained silent.

This group of people just focused on their own town, and probably wouldn't think about killing people on the other side of the river in the Yongshun Xuanweisi territory.

"Anyway, the county magistrate didn't say that only people from Dayong County are allowed to work."

"It's all a matter for the imperial court. People from Dayong County can do it, and people from Yongshun across the street can naturally do it too."

Qin Jianglong murmured quietly, and unknowingly he had reached the river.

He looked up at Mayang Village on the other side with a smile on his face.

You don't have to earn all the two taels of silver that make people's heads.

As long as you give a tael of silver to your relatives and others in Mayang Village across the street, and get a tael of silver for yourself, you can let them pull people further west in these ten days.

A business book has appeared in Qin Jianglong's heart without any teacher.
