758: The blind cat meets a dead mouse (Part 2) [Please leave]

Sibao County, Xiaocheng.

When wars spread in Yanzhou and Ganzhou, it was rare to be calm in Sibao County, Longwu County and Minfeng County. Specifically, the first two should be calm. The turmoil broke out more than a month ago, but the climate was pacified before it even became available.

In the shade, refugees who wanted to defect to Minfeng County were grieving.

He said: "How come Minfeng County is in chaos?"

Due to tight manpower and financial tightness, the official office announced that before the real stability of Minfeng County, refugees are not allowed to enter to prevent bandits from gathering and causing chaos. Those who violate the order for the first time will be expelled; those who commit the order again will be punished by sticks; those who fail to correct their mistakes will be killed by sticks!

Facing the Iron Order, few people knowingly violated it.

"Why do you have to go to the other end of Minfeng? The four treasures are not good?" The aunt who was resting in the shadows felt uncomfortable when she heard this.

Among the three counties, Longwu County is the safest, but it no longer accepts refugees; Minfeng County is the least crowded and the territory is the most barren; Four Treasure County is between the two. Although it is not up or down, the official office has begun to vigorously rectify and is full of prosperity everywhere.

Where can I find such a good official office?

The refugees in the lead looked embarrassed.

Sibao County is naturally good. They fled from Yanzhou, died of illness, starved, and killed by bandits along the way... Only less than 30% of the entire village remained. There was a relative in Minfeng in the village, and they were preparing to surrender.

I don't want anything else, I just want to eat a bite of food.

I arrived here with a sense of faith.

As a result, they were told that the boundary marker of Minfeng County could not be crossed, so how could it not be frowning? They could not go back home, right? They also wanted to settle down in Sibao County, but they had no money and no land to make a living. How could they gain a foothold in a strange place?

The local aunt saw that the twenty or thirty people were in a dilemma. The straw sandals on their feet had long been worn out. Fortunately, the government office launched an artificial road to flatten the land. If it were the same as before, the soles of both feet would be scrapped sooner or later. I felt a little sympathy.

"You all have some strength, and you are worried that you can't stay?" The local aunt got up and patted the dust on her butt, handed the farm tools at hand to the old sisters in the same village to watch, and said, "Look at you, you are so pitiful, alas, come with me."

The refugees looked at each other in all directions.

The local villagers who were enjoying the cool breeze smiled and cheered: "You have gone through the good luck. This widow Zhuo's daughter has a promising career and has become a scholar. She is willing to go out and say a few words, so that you can stay, and maybe you can still be divided into the land."

Widow Zhuo is a good player in the fields. She does not do less work than men. She usually walks with great strength and walks vigorously. She leads twenty or thirty people who escape to a small shed at the entrance of the village, where a small official with a beard sits in the shed.

After hearing Widow Zhuo’s description, the little official nodded.

Take out twenty or thirty blank bamboo pieces from the bamboo basket behind.

He said to the refugees: "Everyone line up."

The clerk carefully asked about their name, age, family members, origins and reasons for their escape, and stamped them after writing them. These bamboo pieces are very important. Whether they are temporarily living in Sibao County or want to settle in Sibao County, this thing is indispensable.

Refugees who fled can still use bamboo pieces to receive three-day dry food at nearby relief sites. They will arrange work for everyone within three days. When the refugees heard this, they all felt bitter. What kind of work is to arrange work, isn’t it just to recruit corvee labor?

They still remember that every time they were levied, some people died of exhaustion and illness, and they could lose weight several times even if they survived for luck.

A good strong man can be thin and adult.

Widow Zhuo said, "You are collecting labor service and giving money and food?"

Refugees shook their heads when they heard this.

Widow Zhuo was very proud: "We the county magistrate will give it to you."

The remuneration is mostly made of old grain, fine salt, kudzu, grain seeds, and silkworm seeds. Occasionally, a few kilograms of fat meat can be obtained. Not much, but hardworking still can't starve to death. In addition to the above remuneration, the official office will also give people a credit for work points, which contribute to the construction of Sibao County. The more work points, the more contributions it has to Sibao County. Refugees rent cheap temporary residences based on work points.

If there are no work points, the rental will require full amount.

Of course, the full amount is not expensive.

Even if the temporary residence environment is simple, it can shelter from wind and rain, which is much better than refugees sleeping in the open all the way.

As for renting land, you need to wait in line.

Once the land is distributed, wherever the land is, the refugee household registration will be moved to the corresponding county, town and village, and people will also have to move there.

The village was dizzy by the dense information. When he heard the word "land", he shuddered: "Can you still divide the land?"

Widow Zhuo corrected: "It was rented by the official office."

The official office provides land, and refugees use land to farm, and the annual harvest is deducted from the land tax, and the rest is all their own. If the refugees do not have their own farm tools, oxen and grain seeds, they can also rent it from the official office, but they need to pay a little rent to the official office.

When Muramasa heard this, his mind calmed down.

He asked Tian Shu carefully.

Widow Zhuo said: "You are from outside. In the first three years, you have officials, five people and five people. In the fourth year, you will be officials, four people and six people."

This ratio is definitely higher in the peaceful and prosperous times, but in today's world, people provide land and a quiet environment for common people to cultivate land, and the proportion is not bad, not to mention that the government office even gave 10% in the fourth year. However, Mumama was not blinded.

He also asked about land rent and other miscellaneous taxes.

It was obviously not the first time Widow Zhuo dealt with such a problem. She said directly: "There are no such things, why don't our county magistrate be a good person? Our daughter also said that all the messy things will be included in the land tax..."

The son behind Muramasa took a breath of air conditioning.

If there was only land tax, no other messy taxes, and no rent, the land tax ratio would be very exciting. I thought this was the biggest surprise, but they unexpectedly went out to inquire about it and accidentally found out the harvest situation of Longwu County next door last year. It is said that after a commoner paid the land tax, the food left behind was more than the harvest of their family in two years.

As long as the family is hardworking and capable, and eats full all year round, some families can still have several tanks of food left.

Murama smacked his lips.

"Good, what kind of grain did they plant?"

Which farmer doesn’t bend over to serve the fields all year round?

I am afraid that weeds will be removed slowly and will affect the growth of grains.

Do the same job, but the harvest is very different.

I went out and asked around and found out the reason.

First, the grain provided by the government office is good; second, the weather in the country is good, and there is no flood or drought; third, if the fertility of the fields is insufficient, the government office will also teach you how to composting and maintain the land step by step. It is said that those with magical means will also display their magical powers...

After hearing this, Murama was so moved that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

You said, they are all human beings, why do people here live like individuals, but they have to leave their hometowns and lose their wives and children?

Laocun was turning his back to his son and secretly wiped away the turbid tears.

But he was a little worried.

If they are divided into land, will their village be broken up? They have been villagers for many years, and relatives from other places, and cannot be taken care of when they are separated. If they offend other villages one day, they will be few and foreign, and they will be easily bullied.

Masato Laomura’s worries are unnecessary.

In order to reduce conflicts, acquaintances are given priority. Even if they cannot be stuffed into a village, they will be nearby.

Laocun was completely relieved when he heard this news.

Similar scenes are staged everywhere in Sibao County.

Sibao County, the Office of the Household and Cao.

The official in the office holding the official document saw Chen Zhi coming over and bowed, but was stopped by the latter: "Did you see Lin Hucao?"

The official replied: "Lin Hucao went out of the city to worship."

Chen Zhi asked: "When will you come back?"

The official estimated: "Lin Hucao said that at most one hour, I guess the time should be back soon."

Speaking of Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Lin Feng appeared at the door of the official office. She was holding a bamboo basket, and there were some unused candles in the bamboo basket.

Her biological scrolls are buried in the deep mountains outside Xiaocheng.

In the past, she didn't have the opportunity to worship and clean, but now it's convenient. She would talk to them every six months. Recently, she was still inquiring about the grave relocation. If she had enough time, she would take time to run away and help her senior brother Tu Rong clean the part.

When I first came back, I saw Chen Zhi looking for me, and I thought there was something urgent. After asking, I realized that the other party was here to ask about cotton seeds.

Because the trial planting effect this year is pretty good, the official office plans to vigorously promote cotton in Sibao County next year, so cotton seeds need to be prepared in advance. Lin Feng is the main force of this task. Chen Zhi was urged by Qi Shan to come and be a supervisor every now and then...

Lin Feng put down the bamboo basket and led Chen Zhi to his government affairs hall. He lifted up his skirt and sat down. His expression was a bit sad: "Cotton seeds are a trivial matter, I'm in other troubles."

Chen Zhi: "What you are talking about is Gong Xilangjun? Didn't Dr. Dong say that his eyes are just about the time to brighten them?"

About one month ago, Lin Feng went out to worship his relatives, passed a cliff and picked up a man who was dying.

That man was Gongxiqiu, who was seriously injured and had a life-long lingering line.

The man was saved, but he was blinded.

Lin Feng shook his head: "It has nothing to do with the benefactor. I suddenly remembered something - it is easy to plant cotton in the country, and it is also easy to obtain high-quality cotton seeds, but how should the cotton be removed when it is harvested? You can't peel it slowly with your hands, right?"

The best way is to make a targeted farm tool.
