The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 24

As the immigrants moved in, the Black Water Village became more and more prosperous, and the construction of the new city was also accelerating.

With the annihilation of bandits everywhere, the officers and soldiers formed temporarily at that time also gathered in Heishui village one after another. There was no way, the temptation to divide the land was very huge in the farming-based empire.

The soldiers heard that the land was going to be divided here, and they couldn't sit still, so they asked the Shangguan to bring them over, fearing that all the good land would be taken away.

The distribution of fields is imminent, and the planning of military achievements is also imminent. The soldiers have fought for so long, and they can't wait for the rewards.Fortunately, Lin Yifan had already started preparations, and he only needed to make some minor modifications.

When the Xuecheng Department of Hengshan County and Liu Yue arrived, Lin Yifan gathered all the soldiers in front of the Black Water Village, a total of more than a thousand soldiers gathered in formation, waiting for his instructions.

Lin Yifan ordered people to carry out more than a dozen large boxes and put them aside.Afterwards, under the expectant eyes of everyone, he opened one of the boxes with his own hands, only to see the dazzling silver light refracted in the box under the sun, which dazzled the eyes of all the soldiers, and even heard the sound of someone swallowing saliva. sound.

Lin Yifan took out a few silver coins, held them in his hand, held them up in front of everyone, looked at them and said loudly: "Soldiers, today is your day, you won the victory with your bravery and loyalty, and at the same time Also won the silver. These are what you deserve, and I will distribute them to you with my own hands. At the same time, we have found a new home here, with fertile land, rich resources, and everything here Your share, I will distribute the land to each of you. Here, I just want to tell you that as long as you are willing to follow me and develop Hengshan County better, then I will never treat you badly. This is my promise to everyone!"

"Thank you, sir! I'm willing to follow you!" All the soldiers cheered, and some of them even felt that if they followed you, they would have meat to eat, and they would do whatever they asked me to do.

"Okay! Then start rewarding now. Mr. Chen, let's start!" Lin Yifan nodded to Chen Dengke and said.

Chen Dengke took the roster, walked forward, opened the roster and began to read.The first thing to read is the meritorious deeds of the soldiers. As a soldier, he will have a basic reward of five taels of silver plus five acres of land, and then count the number of enemies killed, and measure the merits by his performance in battle. As long as he kills an enemy, he will get one or two Silver plus a commission for an acre of land.

You can also get some silver rewards for outstanding performance in the battle.And as long as you kill five enemies, you can be promoted to the squad leader. The more you kill, the bigger the official.

Following the reading, the soldiers stepped forward, Lin Yifan took the calculated money and land deeds and handed them to the soldiers himself, and warmly shook hands with them, patted their shoulders or gave them some words of encouragement or greetings.Immediately, the soldier was so moved that he wept bitterly, wishing he could draw his knife and peel off his body to show his feelings.

This made Lin Yifan secretly happy. He just learned the methods of modern leaders to win people's hearts, and he didn't expect the effect to be so good.Ha ha! ! !
It lasted like this for a whole morning before the soldiers' rewards were distributed. Lin Yifan was so tired that his back ached and his legs cramped.But he still insisted that this honor must be bestowed by himself. Isn't there an old saying that only a name and a weapon can't be fake!
After a hasty meal at noon, all the captains and above and all the village masters gathered in the meeting hall. This time, rewards will be given to those with official positions.

As soon as Lin Yifan came up, he said straight to the point: "This award is a well-deserved award, not a verbal acceptance by me. After the award, I will submit the list of awards to the imperial court for confirmation. At that time, you will become the imperial court acknowledged officials."

When everyone heard the words, their faces were flushed red, and they were overwhelmed with surprise.Officials recognized by the imperial court, this is a blessing that can only be cultivated in several lifetimes.If there is no adult, I am afraid that I will never have the opportunity to be an official even if I wait for others in eighteen lifetimes.

Everyone looked at Lin Yifan with gratitude in their eyes, "Thank you for your help, sir. I will do my best to repay your favor for your recommendation."

"Okay, as long as you can fulfill your duties and plead for the people, that is the best repayment for me." Lin Yifan nodded, then his tone turned cold, and he said sternly: "However, if anyone dares to corrupt the law and harm the people, then as long as I The county magistrate of Hengshan will never show mercy, you should bear that in mind."

Everyone was terrified, and they all promised that they would not disappoint the adults.

Only then did Lin Yifan ask Chen Dengke to start announcing the list of military merit awards. This time the awards are different from soldiers. Military merit is measured by the number of kills and combat performance of the troops under his jurisdiction.

The captain's basic reward is ten taels of silver, ten acres of land, and the position of team leader. If the team under his jurisdiction kills an enemy, he will be rewarded with one tael of silver and a little military merit.The most important thing is military merit. As long as you collect all ten points, you will get one rank, and after nine ranks, you can be promoted to Baizong.

The basic reward of Bai Zong is 20 taels of silver, [-] mu of land, and the position of Bai Zong.The troop commission for killing an enemy is half a tael of silver per person, and one point of military merit, but this military merit must be [-] points for one rank, and nine ranks can be promoted to the captain, and the captain is actually the military position of a county lieutenant.

The captain is basically rewarded with 50 taels of silver and [-] acres of land. The military merits of the troops can be converted into military merits. Killing an enemy gets one point, [-] points for one turn, and nine turns for promotion.

After all the rewards were awarded, the next step was the main event.This time it was the letter of appointment for the staff of the Hengshan County Government, which directly determined the future and destiny of everyone.

Chen Dengke picked up another roster, unfolded it, and read: "Hengshan County has just been massacred, the people have been displaced, and all the officials are gone... Now that the problem of bandits is over, the county government should be given priority, so the following officials are recruited as Arm help, Luo Yi, a righteous citizen of Hengshan County, is wise and brave, good at riding and shooting, and assists officers and soldiers to eliminate bandits. The insurgents assisted the county in suppressing the bandits, and they were specially appointed as the official history of Hengshan County, in charge of arresting robbers and inspecting prisoners. Li Huzi, a righteous citizen, was brave and good at fighting and helped each other with righteousness. Yimin Chen Dengke has a strategy, so he specially restores his fame, and hires him as the master of the county, and also leads the house pawn, responsible for collecting taxes and grains, and managing the household registration property. ...Wang Fugui is the chief book assistant and housekeeper...Li Laogen is the criminal house pundit...Sun San is the patrol inspector of the Bailongshan Inspection Department...The waistcoat is the inspection of Fuhuzhai ... Li Nansheng inspected the Tongshan village... Zhang Qian inspected the Heishui village... Luo Feng was in charge of monitoring the grassland movements for the county army reconnaissance and cavalry chief..."

It took Chen Dengke nearly half an hour to read the letter of appointment before he finished reading it.

The crowd cheered continuously and kowtowed to Lin Yifan one after another.With this appointment, most of the personnel in the county government has been enriched. There are only a few civil positions, which can only be temporarily held by Lin Yifan, Chen Dengke, Liu Yue, and Wang Fugui.

The next day, the temporary county government office converted from the meeting hall was opened wide, and the office staff came in and out, starting a day's work.Population statistics, land liquidation, real estate certification and other major matters need to be done. Fortunately, the chief bookkeeper Liu Yue, an old official for many years, was there to guide Lin Yifan and Chen Dengke on how to handle these matters.

Luo Yi and Li Hu are leading the county soldiers to reorganize and dismantle in the barracks, selecting soldiers who are suitable to become cavalry.

Xue Cheng was busy training the three classes of yamen servants, arranging prisoners, security patrols and other things.

Han Santie and a group of apprentices are forging iron in the blacksmith shop to repair damaged weapons.

Wang Fugui is counting the seized stolen goods in the warehouse and estimating the value.

Sun San and the others each took fifty soldiers to prepare to leave for their respective jurisdictions. They were responsible for local security, training the people, arresting bandits, etc., and they dared not delay for too long.

The village owners who were appointed as Lizheng also happily returned to the village with their certificates of appointment. They and the villagers are no longer criminals of the imperial court, but citizens of the empire who can appear in the sun dignifiedly.

Although becoming a citizen of the empire requires paying taxes and serving in accordance with the law, it is better than hiding in Tibet like a mouse.

After the reconstruction of the county government, Hengshan County began to revitalize, and everything was developing in an orderly manner.

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye. After everyone's unremitting efforts, the basic situation of Hengshan County has finally been confirmed.

At this time, Hengshan County had a population of 1000 to 52, of which the county seat had a population of more than 5000, and the new city of Heishuizhai had relocated nearly 49 people, and there were [-] cottages in Hengshan. Due to the large number of relocated people, So they merged the sparsely populated cottages, and finally only eighteen remained.The total population is more than [-] people.

However, the land in the county except Heishuizhai has a geographical environment of nine mountains, half water and half fields, and most of them are inferior fields.County residents in these places cannot make a living from the fields, but can only maintain their livelihoods through gathering, hunting and animal husbandry.

The new town of Heishuizhai is still in its infancy stage, and the money, food and materials it needs are a bottomless pit.Only by continuing to go deep into Hengshan to suppress bandits, the captured thieves can barely maintain the county's financial expenditure and maintain [-] county cavalry.

However, with the population becoming more and more concentrated and the resources consumed by construction and development, it is no longer possible to maintain Hengshan County only by relying on the stolen goods obtained from the suppression of bandits.
