Chapter 96 Relief for Work
There is no one who does not bow his head under the eaves.What's more, Wei Zhixian's words are correct, why do you rely on labor for food when you are in your hometown, but you want to sit on your hands when you come to Fuyang?Are you fleeing or coming on vacation?

Under the organization of the officials, the victims disembarked and boarded the pier.A fence has been erected on the wharf, and only ten families will be allowed to go at a time, and the ten families must protect each other.

This is unimaginable in future generations, and it will be messed up immediately.But the common people of Ming Dynasty belonged to ten households and one family, so there was no need for temporary matching.

Ten households of victims who were let go of the gate registered at a row of tables.Sitting behind the table are a group of scribes from the household. They recorded in detail each household's place of origin, lijia, household, etc., each person's name, age, population, health status...and then asked them to sign a mutual guarantee agreement.

After signing this document, if anyone commits a crime, ten households will have to sit together... Otherwise, how can Weizhi County let [-] foreigners flood into the county?

After registration and signing, the victims were led to the next gate. Behind them, another ten households began to register...

After entering the second gate, the book office asked the victims what kind of house they wanted to live in.

The victims were stunned, what grades are there?
"Three grades, the upper-class single-family house, one penny per month; the middle-class two houses, one house, two hundred coins per month; the lower four houses, one house, one hundred coins per month." The secretary said.

"What, do you need money for accommodation?" The victims asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"When will the accommodation be free?" The book office's eyes widened: "The house you live in, but the people of Fuyang have tried their best to make it vacant, how can it be possible to live for nothing!"

"Ahem." A young man in a green shirt and an official scarf coughed twice and said, "You can live without money..." Before the victims had time to be happy, they heard him say again: "Remember the account first, and you can live there later." Just work and pay the rent.”

"Scary," the victims said unhappily, "Why do you need money for everything? I've never heard that they charge money for relocating victims."

"Other counties build huts, but this county also built huts by the river." The scribe was Wang Xian, and he said with a blank expression, "If you don't want a house, you can live in a hut. It's also free of charge. .”

Although they are reluctant, they have reached this point, not to mention that the rent is really cheap, and they can still owe it first. Ten families have chosen to spend money to rent a house.

So the clerk issued a bamboo card to each family, with the name of the head of the household on the front and the information on the rented house on the back, and said: "You are divided into thirteen miles. When you go out of this gate, the chief of the village is outside. You hold He will arrange the rest of the matter, and he will also be responsible for the time you are in Fuyang County."

This wave of people goes out, and the next wave comes in, and the cycle repeats itself, seemingly endlessly...

Wang Xian looked at it for a while, then looked up and saw the sixteen characters on the archway, and rubbed his temples helplessly.This is really the boss talking and the subordinate running away... It's not just running away, it's really exhausting, it's a headache, okay!
With the power of one county, to complete the disaster relief work for 3 people, and at the same time ensure the lives of the people in the county.Wang Xian, on the other hand, has to complete the entire plan, formulate details, and even supervise on-site... It is no exaggeration to say that Wei Zhixian is only responsible for two tasks-showing his face and issuing orders, the most nerve-wracking planning and the most troublesome The specific implementation is Wang Xian's errand.

Without the support of an efficient team, even with Wang Xian's professional ability, he would not be able to do this job.Fortunately, Hufang has been trained by him, and its efficiency has been greatly improved. This allows him to concentrate on planning the general plan instead of worrying about specific affairs.

In today's Fuyang County, the two Yins, the three Yas and the Four Laodians have become the ones who handle specific affairs. Wei Zhixian has all the power, but he obeys Wang Xianyan. In the matter of disaster relief, he is even given full power to plan, and he is at his disposal.Therefore, Master Diao and others said in a strange way that there is now a sitting clay magistrate in Fuyang County, and a standing magistrate in green shirt...

Mr. Sima also mentioned this to Wei Zhixian, but Wei Zhixian didn't take it seriously. He said Han Gaozu was not as good as Xiao He in governing the country, not as good as Zhang Liang in strategy, and not as good as Han Xin in leading troops. Why are the three under him?Without it, because Liu Bang can know people and control them.

Of course, there is a deeper reason because the status of the two is too different, and Wei Zhixian is not worried that his authority will be taken away by Wang Xian.

In fact, if possible, Wang Xian would not want to show his sharpness like this, but in extraordinary times, disaster relief is the most important, and if he fails to do so, he will be beaten by eggs, and there is no room for him to hide his clumsiness.

What Wang Xian was most worried about before was whether the victims would not accept the 'relief with work' and 'pay rent with work', and something would happen.Until now, seeing that most of the people accepted the arrangement calmly, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground.

No matter how clever his plan is, you have to accept his gameplay first.Fortunately, the common people in this era are still very simple, and they are even more cautious as disaster victims. As long as they are not too excessive, they will accept the government's arrangements.

As for the reason why the people of Fuyang cooperate so much, it is not only Wang Xian's relatively reasonable arrangement.It is also because Weizhi County announced that anyone who provides housing for the disaster victims without any problems can be exempted from taxes for the whole year.But it was not enough. This kind of big action involving almost every family would be absolutely impossible to realize without the support of the big family.

The magistrate of Wei County exchanged the support of a big family in Fuyang on the condition that he did not overhaul the yellow book...

Wei Zhixian is very painful about this, but he also knows that if it is not in exchange, those old and cunning big families will not cooperate.

"If you don't make a major repair, don't overhaul it. As long as you can complete the disaster relief beautifully, Dong Weng's reputation is enough." Sima Qiu comforted him and said: "It was a thunder to rebuild the yellow book, even if it is completed, Dong Weng is unlikely to be completely injured." And retreat."

"I also know that you can't have both the fish and the bear's paw, and those who give up the fish will take the bear's paw." Wei Zhixian sighed, "But in order to restore the yellow book, Zhongde and I worked hard last year..."

"It's okay, teacher," Wang Xian said with a smile, "If you don't have the fish you caught last year, how can you get a bear's paw?"

"That's right." Wei Zhixian smiled when he heard the words: "Do you feel relieved that you don't need to revise the yellow book?"

"Teacher is the one who knows me." Wang Xian said with an embarrassed smile: "Students don't want to offend their parents and fellow villagers, and they won't be able to gain a foothold in Fuyang in the end."

"Oh, the wish of the township, the thief of virtue, it really is true." Wei Zhixian shook his head, exposing the matter and said: "We must do a good job in disaster relief, otherwise as a teacher, you will 'lose your wife and lose your army'!"

"Yes." Wang Xian replied in a deep voice.

.

After receiving the support of the big gentry, Wang Xiancai ordered the mobilization of counties, towns and villages in Fuyang County. In addition to ordering the vacated houses within a time limit, he also ordered the chiefs of the villages to take care of the victims, restrain the unruly people in the village, and strictly forbid harassing the victims. , Extort money.If there is any violation, they will be sent to prison for the crime of 'sabotaging disaster relief', and their skin will be peeled off if they don't die...

Why are the county governors the least willing to accept disaster victims?Because these outsiders will compete with the natives for food.Even if there is no need for the government to release grain, they will still raise the price of local grain and squeeze out the livelihood of the aborigines.Therefore, all counties regard the disaster victims as burdens and burdens, and naturally contradict each other.

Wang Xian doesn't think so. He knows that people are the most precious resource, and the disaster victims only lost their homes, but they didn't lose their labor force.If it wasn't for the tsunami that turned them into disaster victims, how could Fuyang County have obtained so many cheap labor forces?
Mobilizing these labor forces, how can they still be a burden?And as long as it is properly arranged, it will not crowd out the livelihood of Fuyang people at all, but will greatly promote the development of Fuyang.

What should I do?Wang Xian's soul from 600 years later is really familiar, and that is the construction project!

When the magistrate of Wei County worried about the fact that the [-] disaster victims had nothing to do and would inevitably breed right and wrong, Wang Xian suggested: "Teacher, don't you always worry that the county's fields are too small, so that food is too dependent on outsourcing? Now there are so many With cheap labor, why not take the opportunity to build terraces?"

Wei Zhixian's eyes lit up when he heard the words, what a good idea!
You must know that the imperial court's inspection of officials focused on population and acres of land.It is also excellent to open up wasteland without increasing the population.Moreover, the wasteland opened by the government is the official land, which is most appetizing to the court!
Fuyang is a special place, with eight mountains, half water, and half fields. The flat land suitable for growing crops is only one and a half of the county's area, and it is occupied by residential land. It is not bad to have a field.If you want to expand the cultivated land, you can only build terraced fields...

The most important thing in Fuyang is the hills. As far as the eye can see, there are terraced fields all over the mountains, but most of them are tea gardens, because the income of growing tea is higher than that of farming.But when everyone started to grow tea, the price of tea gradually went down, but the price of grain gradually went up. Now the gap between growing tea and growing grain is not so big.Moreover, as far as the county government is concerned, people's livelihood should be considered more, especially in the eyes of officials in this era, [-]% of the grain is purchased, which is really unseemly.It would be great if we could increase the number of acres and increase the county's grain production.

"Okay, then you can make a regulation. Except for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and young children, let the victims of the disaster build terraced fields and use their work for relief!" Wei Zhixian rubbed his hands excitedly: "This method is very good. It can be said to kill four birds with one stone! It not only allows the victims to have things to do without causing trouble, but also increases the income of the county's official land, and can also alleviate the situation that the county's food is controlled by others. Moreover, it also provides a basis for the distribution of disaster relief food! "

"The students have already discussed this matter with the people in the workshop. They are responsible for finding experienced old farmers to guide the field. Please ask the teacher to be responsible for the project command and the distribution of food relief!" Wang Xian said solemnly.

"Oh?" Wei Zhixian was taken aback for a moment, then understood immediately, and said with a big laugh, "Okay, I will go pick stones and build fields myself, and leave a section of 'Wei Yuantian' for the people of Fuyang!"

Everyone has something to like, Wei Zhixian doesn't love money or sex, he only loves a name.At that time, even if only a few hundred acres of terraced fields are built and the benefits to the people are limited, they can still be written in the county annals, stone steles, or even reported as advanced deeds.
