Daming heir

There are many people like Qin Jianglong.

After all, Dayong County is just so big.

But how big is the entire Southwest.

These common people know best.

There are not enough people in this village or town for them to take over. These people, who have worked in the county and received money to go home, naturally set their sights further afield.

In the mountains, although the road is difficult, people are always close to each other.

The news that the imperial court was recruiting workers in Dayong County and providing sufficient money and food was spreading rapidly in the Shiwan Mountains in the southwest as if it had wings.

Eighth day.

On the road from Maoyanhe Town to the county seat, countless people had gathered early.

Women, children, old and young stood on both sides of the road, looking expectantly at their sons, husbands and fathers.

Maoyanhe Town, which used to have a total population of only 500 people, now has no less than 3000 people gathering on the road outside the town.

People who come from the other side of the Maoyan River to Yongshun Xuanweisi will naturally not be accompanied by their families.

Calculated in this way, after excluding the women, children, old and young people in Maoyanhe Town, there are no less than [-] people who want to go to Dayong County to work for the imperial court.

These common people, regardless of Han, native, or Miao people, all gathered together and discussed eagerly about going to Dayong County to work for the imperial court.

At the front of the crowd, Qin Jianglong was naturally the most eye-catching.

Among the more than 500 people here who are about to go to work in the county, more than 700 people were attracted through themselves and people from Mayang Village on the other side.

Even if one tael of silver is allocated as a capitation fee, as long as he can bring these people to the county today, he can get a real amount of more than 700 taels of silver.

More than 1000 taels of silver!

In the past, even if the entire Maoyan River town was sold, it would not be able to get so much money.

So much so that the other people who had worked with Qin Jianglong in the county town and came back to kill people had envious looks in their eyes at all times.

It was a pity for Qin Jianglong.

If I hadn't been the only one, causing the news to be known to several other people in the same town on the third day, and then imitating myself and giving out one tael of silver per head, the head fees of the more than 500 people present would have been high. It's your own!

With so much money, I no longer have to stay in Maoyanhe Town in this remote mountain.

Once you get the money, you can directly buy a courtyard in the county town, and then bring the whole family to live in the county town.

You can even buy dozens of acres of irrigated land outside the county town.

The women, children, old and young in Maoyanhe Town gathered in front of Erlang and whispered.

However, Qin Jianglong called his people over, took a look at the sun and it was almost time to set off, and whispered: "When I take people to work in the county town, you can't forget to continue to Yongshun across the street at home. To recruit people, we still need one tael of silver per person, so we asked our relatives in Mayang Village across the street to help. As long as people come, let them go to the county seat, and then they can report my name or look for me. Our family can send How rich you will be depends on this time."

The parents, wives and children at home nodded.

With the money and things that Qin Jianglong brought home before, the family now only thinks about making more money.

Qin Jianglong then said to his elderly parents: "If you can't plant the land at home, don't plant it. Your two elders are also old. Just plant it for other families in the town, and our family will collect some rations."

When our family settles down in the county town, I will buy some land outside the city and hire a few more people. By then our family will have endless food without having to work anymore. "

When the old parents heard their son being so filial, they naturally nodded repeatedly.

But I still think in my heart that I need to take good care of this year's crops.

Qin Jianglong warned his children again: "You two have nothing to do at home. If you have nothing to do in the future, run to Mayang Village and keep an eye on it. Your grandparents will also take care of you. When you go back to the county, dad will send you to school. I wonder if you will be able to study, become officials, and find a good husband in the future."

The children immediately nodded happily.

Children in the mountains always fantasize about what the outside world is like, and always think about being able to go out one day.

Regardless of the happiness of his children, Qin Jianglong finally whispered to the mother-in-law who had been with him all his life: "It has been hard work for half a life to marry into my family. When I and others get the money this time, I will buy a few houses in the city. I will talk about it later. Buy a few servant girls, and they will take care of you and your parents every day."

The mother-in-law rolled her eyes at the man shyly.

The girl who serves people will probably really know how to serve people, but she can't tell who she will serve.

The mother-in-law pushed Qin Jianglong: "Take the people to the county quickly. Don't miss the date set by the court and the government."

"I know I know."

Qin Jianglong nodded and responded, then turned to look at the crowd on the road.

He said hello and started heading towards Dayong County without looking back.

Scenes like this in Maoyanhe Town, which look like large armies being dispatched, have happened one after another in the mountains surrounding Dayong County in the past few days.

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts.

In the past, if someone said that the imperial court would benefit them, they would definitely be scolded.

But this time, no one would question the more than 500 Dayong County people who went home with money issued by the court.

Go to the county town and earn money.

It has become the consensus of everyone.

In some places farther away from Dayong County, people started setting off a few days earlier.

The wisdom of the people also showed at this time.

Just like Qin Jianglong's instructions and arrangements for his family.

Those people who were far away also entrusted their families to continue to pull heads further away.

Even in previous years, several villages that might have clashed over the water of a river have all given up their past grievances at this time and have a common goal.

And outside Dayong County.

Starting from the fifth night after the people took the money and went home, people started to come back with people one after another.

The news was sent to the county government and the camp outside the city at night.

County magistrate Li Yulong immediately ran out of his warm bed and arranged for people in the government office to resettle the returning people outside the city.

News soon came from the camp.

The people who came back began to expand the workers' camp outside the camp prepared by the county government in the past few days.

The money and food will naturally be allocated in full.

In order to allow the people who would continue to come out of the mountains to see clearly, Zhu Yunxi even asked the supply camp and Dayong County to pay the people's wages every three days.

The purpose is to let the people who come next see the sincerity of the court.

Orders one after another were sent out from the camp one after another.

Dayong County Magistrate Li Yulong was immediately busy without even touching the ground.

Every day, Li Yulong would wander around several construction sites as soon as he opened his eyes.

The river bridge construction site camp next to the river was busy, and Li Yulong was about to go to the place where the mountains were quarried to build a cement factory.

After the inspection of these two places is completed, Li Yulong will take the officials and people in the yamen downstream along the Lishui River to start exploring the geology along the coast and determine the cement supply to Shimen County in the plain area downstream of the Lishui River. road route.

A camp has also been set up at Qiaotou, where money was distributed to the people that day.The clerks of Dayong County and the clerks of the army's supply camp must get together on time every day to work.

All the people who come out of the mountains must first register here, and then determine the specific number of heads with the people who pull their heads.

Once the head count is determined, those brought later will be handed over to the stewards at each construction site to take away.And those people who pulled heads would be taken to the city to deliver the money.

With so much money, these people have to work next, so naturally it is impossible to take it away.

So a kind of banknote document stamped with the seal of the Emperor Taisun and the official seal of the Dayong County Magistrate was handed over to the people, and the amount was also confirmed and signed on the account book to be filed in the county government office to prevent the banknote from happening. If you lose it, you won't get any money at the end.

"Qin Jianglong, this time we brought in a total of 710 and 420 people, with a total of [-] and [-] taels of silver. Confirm the number, and if it is correct, sign and pledge it in these places. Collect the banknotes and be sure not to throw them away. If you lose them, look back. It will be troublesome to get money again."

When a clerk read out Qin Jianglong's name, he instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

This time everyone went back with the idea that they could earn two taels of silver by killing one person.After returning home, they really worked hard to win over people.

It's just that most of the people whose head count has been confirmed before can only bring in one or two hundred people, or no more than three or four hundred people, and get seven or eight hundred taels of silver.

Qin Jianglong alone attracted more than 700 people and obtained more than 400 taels of silver.

This is probably richer than many big families in the county.

In the crowd, everyone looked envious.

Qin Jianglong pressed his fingerprints on several places where signatures were required. With a shy look on his face, he looked at the document in front of him.

"Master, I have something to do."

The clerk raised his head with a smile on his face. He was very interested in this man who could attract more than 700 people by himself.

The clerk nodded and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."

However, Qin Jianglong glanced at the chaotic scene around him and whispered: "Can I trouble you to move, sir?"

The clerk glanced at the account book in front of him, and then at the crowd in front of him.

Most of them have already confirmed the head count and signed the signatures, and they are just gathering here to watch the fun.

The clerk thought for a while and nodded: "Then let's go outside and talk."

Qin Jianglong hummed and followed the clerk out of the accounting room respectfully.

As the two people walked out of the accounting room, the people who were still inside turned around one after another. Those who were closer to the door looked outside curiously, pricking up their ears to hear what Qin Jianglong, who had received more than 400 taels of silver, was going to do. What will I say to Mr. Guan?

Qin Jianglong followed the clerk out of the accounting room, and the two of them stood in the corridor.

He choked for a few times, and then said in a low voice: "Master, I just want to ask, if I don't work on the construction site, can I continue to kill people for the Yamen?"

"Aren't you going to work on the construction site?"

The clerk couldn't help but asked subconsciously, and then his eyes flashed, and he finally understood what was going on.

This Qin Jianglong was already worth more than 3000 taels, so naturally he no longer looked down on the small wages on the construction site.

The clerk smiled and said: "The court didn't say that you have to work on the construction site. You just don't work and you have to kill people. You are the first to bring it up. I have to ask the county magistrate for permission."

As he said this, the clerk began to wonder where the county magistrate was now and whether it was time to return to the Yamen.

Qin Jianglong asked again in a low voice: "Do you think the county magistrate will nod?"

The clerk waved his hands and thought for a moment before replying: "It's not difficult to think about it. After all, you are all doing things for the imperial court. Whether you are pulling people or working on the construction site, aren't you doing it for the imperial court? You wait here, I will do it now Go ask the county magistrate."

Qin Jianglong nodded immediately: "Excuse me, sir."

The clerk glanced at Qin Jianglong, who was about to quit working as a coolie and turn his money around, smiled, and turned away.

The eyes of the people who were listening to the gossip behind the door suddenly flashed.

Who would have thought that Qin Jianglong could come up with such an operation.

It is naturally easier to make money by pulling heads than working on a construction site.

Several thoughtful people had already walked out of the accounting room and arrived in front of Qin Jianglong.

"Brother, if the accountant comes back later with a message and the county master agrees to this matter, I wonder if brother can bring us all to make a fortune together?"

Qin Jianglong's eyes instantly became wary. He pondered for a while before nodding and said: "It's not too late for us to wait until the county master agrees. If the county master nods, I will definitely not be able to do this by myself. If If there are more people, we can take care of each other when we go into the mountains."

This was considered an agreement, and he only waited for the county magistrate to nod and agree to the matter.

Several people immediately smiled.

Others in the accounting room immediately rushed out and expressed their intention to participate.

And in another direction outside the city.

On the top of the mountain outside the camp.

Zhu Yunxi was looking at the camp where people were placed at the bridgehead at the foot of the mountain.

Dayong County Magistrate Li Yulong rushed up from the mountain sweating profusely with a document in hand with a rosy face.

"Your Highness! Your Highness!"

"Including the group of people who just came, we now have a total of 450 people here."

Zhu Yunxi smiled.

Zhu Gaochi beside him smiled and took the document handed over by Li Yulong.

More than 3000 people came from the mountains, which in disguise reduced the strength of the chieftains in the 3000-strong mountains in the southwest who might be able to join the resistance against the imperial court's reform of native land.

Li Yulong added: "Just now news came from the county government. A commoner who came today with more than 700 people said that he no longer wanted to work on the construction site, but he still hoped to continue to go to the mountains to pull people for the government. .”

"That's a good thing."

Zhu Yunxi finally spoke with a smile.

Li Yulong immediately nodded and lowered his head, waiting for His Highness Taisun's next arrangement.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at Zhu Gaochi beside him.

This matter had actually been in their plan for a long time. They had planned to wait for the right time to find some people in Dayong County to do it.

Now, someone has taken the initiative to bring it up, but it's not exactly what they want.

This time Zhu Yunxi didn't speak again, but Zhu Gaochi took over.

"Master Li County will agree to this matter when he returns, but there are still a few things that need to be paid attention to."

Li Yulong nodded like garlic.

The number of people coming to the county now has already exceeded the planned number.

He was still worried at first, but now his grandson has nodded, Dayong County is going to make a fortune.

Zhu Gaochi continued: "Li County respects you and comes forward. I will explain it to you in detail."
