Chapter 251: Fighting (1)

Zheng Lang said again: "Go and call Cao Xiumu and Wang Zhaoming."

I don't know why the court issued such an absurd edict, but the two of them made great contributions in the middle. In anger, they made this comment. It was a bit unfair. How could the court not pay attention to it and let them come and read it. After reading it, they could get the most real news. So they wrote the memorials they wrote in this edict were one of the basis, but they would not have any evil thoughts in their hearts.

Everyone arrived, Zheng Lang sat down and passed the edicts one by one, so angry that he didn't want to speak. Wang Zhaoming said carefully: "Is there anything wrong with the edict?"

“Where is the right place?”

Cao Xiumu also asked carefully: "Zheng Zhizhou, are you talking about the seven thousand households?"

After staying in Taipingzhou for a while, other places would not make the top scholar embarrassed, or there were only these 7,000 refugees.

"What do you think?"

"Xinwei Yichen will arrange for 5,000 households to move, and some workshops will collect craftsmen in the future, and other places will also need labor..."

"Mr. Cao, I'll ask you, how many bowls of rice can you eat in a meal?"

"One and a half bowl," Cao Xiumu replied honestly.

"Why don't you eat a hundred bowls in a meal? Then you won't have to eat for dozens of days."

All officials didn't know that something big would happen later, so they all lowered their heads and smiled.

"If you can eat, you have to use methods. The state lacks labor. I have been incompetent to govern in vain. Let all the big families find ways to solve it themselves. How they solve it has nothing to do with me, nor have they have nothing to do with the officials of Taiping Prefecture. As long as they do not abuse the tenant farmers, harm them, and restrict their freedom, the court officials will not be troublesome. But these victims were transferred by the court. Can I let them be tenant farmers? Besides, they may all be eighth-class refugees."

The people are basically divided into five equal parts. First-class households have at least four or five hundred acres of fertile land. In addition to luxury houses, they are all famous main households and merchants. Second-class households are medium-sized large households and small wealthy households. Fourth-class households are middle-class farmers, with thirty to fifty acres of land, some houses, even tiled houses, plowing oxen, or a decent business in the city. Fifth-class households are poor people, and they are divided into five to nine levels.

Generally, officials will not explain the sixth and seventh grade in detail.

There is not much difference between them. For example, Jinsuyuan hired a Weaver Girl and gave her a salary of 50 cents a day. The family can afford to spend money and subsistence. It turned out to be an eighth-class household, and immediately became a sixth-class household.

There are still differences. The real fifth-class households have half farming and half renting, and they have a few acres or more than ten acres of land, which is not enough to make a living, so they rented land from others. In turn, last year, there were a small number of fifth-class households resettled in Jingmin Liangwei, and there were also sixth-class households, seventh-class households, and none of them were truly ninth-class households.

This is the basis.

Going to the ninth-class household means nothing but one person, and it is truly naked and gone naked. Most of the disaster victims are such people.

It is not what later generations said, a clean official was sent to release food, and the victims cheered, and the good official was here. This is true, why do you have to come to the people who were affected by the Jianghuai River and Shandong this year? Why are there still a small number of people not resettled?

Giving them food is the first step, it is a small step.

How much food can you really eat?

One million victims, after eating for a year, four million stones of food is enough!

The real headache is the back, what should I do if I wear it? What should I do if I use the equipment? What should I do if I live there? What should I do if I can’t support them for the rest of my life? What should I do if I can’t support them for the rest of my life?

If it was so simple to release food, all the ministers in the court would rush to Chenzhou with Bao Qingtian to release food! Who wouldn't want to be famous for the eternal period?

Or as Cao Xiumu said, he would be given to various landlords as tenants, who would dare to do it? These are the people, not the troops, who would ask you to rescue the victims, not to push them into the fire pit! If you do it really, you would drown you in Yanchen's saliva, and then do artificial respiration, and rescue you and then drown again. If you don't die for ten or eight times, Yanchen would not be willing to give up.

So when I see the victims of the disaster, the ministers in the court do not do anything. Most of the normal practices are for you to eat. If you don’t have enough, then set up a porridge shed. After eating, you will die by yourself without taking the initiative to intervene. Zhao Zhen is not good either. You are the emperor and speak briskly, but we do things. Do you know how difficult it is for us?

Zhao Zhen stopped asking, the ministers were very happy. It was because of the difficulties we were in being ministers, including many big shots, Sun..., Shi Jie... Ouyang Xiu...

Taipingzhou has limited income, and the summer tax has not been paid, and the autumn tax will not be paid. However, it is a small middle and lower state, not a large state like Hangzhou, and can get nearly 400,000 yuan in a year with just a tax of money, as well as silk tax and grain tax. These large prefectures were the main sources of income in the Song Dynasty. For example, Taipingzhou, various taxes combined, and normal years will not exceed 100,000 yuan.

After three years of searching homes, from Linjiang Temple to Zhang's family and then to Cao's family, the remaining one is only 60,000 yuan. In spring, land deeds and commercial taxes may be a batch in the fall. In addition, Jinsuyuan began to make profits, and it was close to 100,000 yuan in succession. In addition, the taxes expanded by the two embankments will not exceed **10,000 yuan in grain, which is really a lot. If you had received such a large income in previous years, you might have laughed and rolled on the money and grain.

It would be enough without this accident. It would take 90 days to complete the dike project. It is a hired worker and must provide food. The people who work hard are very hard. There is little oil and meat. Once they are released, it is a gravity work. Two stones of grain per person may not be enough. ** Ten thousand stones of grain are removed.

For such a long time, you have to pay at least six yuan in salary, and more than 200,000 yuan in salary will be removed.

For materials and expenses that you can’t remember, you have to prepare at least 20,000 yuan in money, officials’ salaries and some rewards, and nearly 30,000 yuan in money, and other expenses cost 30,000 yuan.

It is certainly not enough, but next spring, commercial tax will soon rise, and officials' salaries can be suspended or paid less, and they will be paid together next year. After selection, the remaining people are not like the people who have moved this year, they are all red people and do not need government relief and financial support. Many families even have plowing oxen. Save one province and maintain the construction of the six mileages to complete the capital.

Although it is a little tighter, it will become very beautiful after next autumn. If it goes well, you will be able to pay taxes to the court in the next year.

Unexpectedly, there were 7,000 more refugees.

You don’t have to think about it and know that they are all real people and have nothing. Otherwise, who would rather leave their hometown and go thousands of miles away?

At least half a year or even half a year of food, when winter comes, there are clothing, living utensils, farming oxen, and packing each person, and at least ten yuan of money. There are seven thousand households, and I don’t know how many people each household, the number of statistics in the Ministry of Revenue is very strange. If a certain area does not impose a termination service, a household can have five or six people, six or seven people, and one termination service, and one termination service has only one and a half people. It seems that the actual population of poor families in Liangwei will be five or a half people. If the family is flooded and the family is unfortunate, it may be only five. There are also many, at least thirty or fifty thousand people.

More than 400,000 yuan of money was killed by Zheng Lang and a group of officials in Taipingzhou, but they could not get so much money.

Just squeeze it out, is it over?

So many people have to be resettled and give them a way out, such as farming, each household in Taipingzhou has more than 60 acres of land, and then the distribution will be more than 4-class households, which will be nearly 70 acres, and these families will have to give at least 50 acres. Otherwise, the verbal minister will be verbose and say that he is interested in "xenophobia" and will have a fight in the future.

How can Zheng Lang become a household with 50 acres and 350,000 acres of land?

He talked about the interests and said, "Eunuch Wang, Yuanwai, do you know why the court has not arranged the refugees right now?"

Wang and Cao could not speak.

"We are a state or a small and medium-sized state. I want us to arrange disaster victims from a country, a joke!"

Zheng Lang sarcastically said.

To put it slightly, it is not the victims of a country. In the past two years, many people have suffered a miserable life. There are as many as hundreds of thousands of households in the disaster, so the court will arrange it one by one. But it also depends on the slightestness. Some are like this group of disaster victims who are about to come, which is extremely poor. This is the most troublesome. Some families still have some savings in their families. If they provide a little relief, they will recover soon. There will be no more than 100,000 households in this type of extremely poor households, but they are also the victims who make the court feel the most difficult to deal with.

If a small and medium-sized state can arrange 7,000 households, the imperial court will not have a headache. If five or six prefectures are stuck, and if these tens of thousands of extremely poor households are missing, will the imperial court still have a headache? If there is no money, it will not be discussed. How much money has the imperial court allocated to rescue disasters in the past two years? Eight million yuan, or ten million yuan? Just the emperor paid out his own pocket and took out million yuan or silk, and the court.

No matter how biased Zheng Lang is, it is really too difficult to settle 7,000 victims in a small and medium-sized state or a small and medium-sized state that is short of money everywhere.

Zheng Lang said again: "Because of political achievements, countless pairs of eyes are staring at Taipingzhou. As long as the arrangement is not done well, the officials from our state and three counties are waiting for many ministers to write letters to impeach!"

"They..." Zhao Tong was also stunned after Zheng Langyi's analysis.

"The political achievements are too great. If officials in our state and three counties eat alone, there will inevitably be some people who are unhappy!"

Zheng Lang was unhappy and spoke very extremely.

There is a conspiracy in it, and it is very small.

Some people are jealous, so they simply ask a problem for Taipingzhou. You didn’t send your disciples to blame Shi Jie, saying that we don’t care about the lives and deaths of the people, and let you take care of them!

But not everyone, a few big guys have big guys’ ideas. Zheng Lang is doing good deeds, doing well for the country and the people, but he breaks the rules. On the other hand, if he breaks the rules, he is good at it. There are positive sides and negative sides.

Taipingzhou miraculously saw thousands of hectares of fertile polder fields appearing, and it lacks people. There are 30,000 households, at least three or four thousand non-agricultural people, and two or three thousand fishermen who specialize in fishing for a living can plant them? The new city also needs people, and the population gap is very large, and it is not too many to plug 7,000 households. Since this miracle can be created, it should not be difficult to arrange thousands of people.

The people who wandered around arranged the arrangements, and there were not many refugees. The court squeezed them over and the two-year-old victims would all settle down this winter. It was really not possible. There were still a small number of refugees left, and they were organized into the army together.

There is nothing to do, so I will continue to write books!

Zheng Lang can handle it well, and the labor force and the population have. The country has lost another problem. If it cannot handle it well, then find a way.

But I don’t know what Zheng Lang would think, but if he didn’t write to the book, he couldn’t understand it, and even didn’t understand what Zheng Lang did. It was not until he did it that he realized that it was like this. For example, last year, we were wondering where we got the labor force from. As soon as the book was published, it was like this!

Then make appropriate adjustments based on Zheng Lang's reaction.

"What should I do now?" Zhao Tongbing frowned.

"If we don't accept it, it's not our ability to bear it. Why should we accept it? If the court does not agree, even if we don't want human support from other states, take it slowly in our state. If someone in the court is jealous, he still refuses to let go, or continue to release the victims to Taiping Prefecture, I will resign immediately and stop doing it."

As he said that, he picked up his pen and wrote the book.

Write down the causes and consequences, don’t think I am a fool, I will jump down by myself if I don’t accept it and jealous, I will resign and go home, and I can’t become this official. I clearly work for the country, use the power of a state to expand thousands of dikes of ditches and build a new city and new port. After a few years, this state alone can increase the country’s income by more than 100,000 yuan in more than a year, increase the production of more than one million hu of grain, and lift tens of thousands of families out of poverty. It is actually hindered layer by layer.

This constraint does not come from the local area, but from the court itself. If the court has its own strength, who can do a good job in a small magistrate?

I'll go home and farm.

Either let the victims return wherever they come from or send them back to wherever they go, or I quit my job and go home, all the big guys, have two multiple-choice questions, either choose a or b. After writing, let Yang Jiujin ride Xiaoqing to send him to the capital.

Cao Xiumu and Wang Zhaoming were sitting there as if they were stunned. After a long time, they said, "It's not appropriate, Zheng Zhizhou."

The victims had boarded the ship and sent it to Taipingzhou, and it was impossible to send it back.

But it is even worse to let Zheng Lang resign and go home.

The court is not bad for officials, and many officials are sitting at home waiting to replenish their actual positions. But in Taipingzhou today, who dares to take responsibility? Don’t say that you are responsible, you can’t even understand it clearly. If you don’t have a good time, you will really have a big problem.

"Why is it inappropriate? Many people are eager for me to do this." Zheng Lang said.

Go home after saying that.

A group of officials stared at each other and asked Zhao Tong. Zhao Tong had no choice but to chase Zheng's house, knocked on the door, and sat down and said, "Zheng Zheng, you can't show off your anger for a moment. If you resign and go home, what should you do if tens of thousands of households in Taipingzhou do?"

"What position should I resign?" Jiang Xing'er asked in confusion. The Zheng family didn't know what happened in the prefecture yamen.

"Prime Minister Zhao Tong, it's not that I want to resign, but whether Zhongshu dares to let me resign?"

"Yes, Zheng Zhizhou..."

"Prime Minister Zhao Tong, we unite the power of the state. Not to mention building several large embankments, a Jingmin embankment can be recorded in history."

"Yes," Zhao Tongzong's face was a little excited. How could such a big empire not be famous for all ages?

"A Jingminwei is like this, and there are several large dikes, plus a good harbor rice market. Besides, you know that I have some measures next year. What kind of achievements will be if these measures are successful? But if they are not moved, they will have success. I have done it very carefully. But I really want to find out the thorns, can it create a crisis if I can't find out the thorns? Seven thousand refugees can take in it, not for no reason. If they settle well, they will create wealth in a few years. Will the country get taxes? But what is it to send tens of thousands of people who have nothing to come here?"

"I still don't understand."

"It's also about doing business. The court has offered a sky-high price, and we have to bargain. The price is everywhere, so we have to pay back the money."

Punishment Zhao Tong couldn't help laughing and came over with a vague understanding.

"The affairs are temporarily handed over to you in the past few days, so don't relax. I'll take a few days off first, I'm really exhausted."

Zhao Tong was also exhausted, but not as serious as Zheng Lang.
To be continued...
