Chapter 39

PreviousBack to directoryNext
Exhaust all the power of the world to be driven by one person.

Since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, many emperors and princes have been like this, and that Supreme One is the best among them.

Li Jing thought about all the things that happened after the emperor ascended the throne without any respect in his heart, and he had already made comments to the Lord of Ten Thousand Vehicles.

It can also be seen from this that he is a typical son of a wealthy family and has little loyalty to the emperor. They respect the emperor's authority, but they do not really regard the emperor as a proud son of heaven.

Li Jing stood up lazily, called people into the study, put on his robe and shawl, and then strolled out of the study.

When Li Jing came to the main hall, Liu Biejia was drinking tea, and the person next to him was a young man.

If Li Po were here, he would be surprised to recognize that this young man is the tax collector who has been staying at the city gate and caused him a lot of trouble.

Seeing Li Jing arriving, they all straightened their clothes and presented themselves to Li Jing.

Li Jing returned the greeting, walked a few steps, sat down on the couch with his sleeves in his sleeves.

Liu Biejia looked at him with envy. Every time he saw Mr. Li, he would have the feeling that he was a powerful figure in Guanxi and his reputation was well-deserved.

He had many things to discuss with Lord Li, and it certainly wouldn't take him a while, so there was no rush.

Li Jing also knew it well. He glanced at his wife and nephew, looked at Liu Biejia slightly apologetically, and then said seriously: "Did you gain anything from going on inspection in Beicheng?"

The young tax official's surname is Chen, and he calls Li Jing his uncle. He is now serving as a household officer in Mayi. He is a small official, but has considerable powers and responsibilities.

Because a refugee camp was built in the north city, Li Jing ordered him to patrol the north of the city to prevent the refugees from causing trouble.

Of course, this is also because he has not been in Mayi for a long time and is still young, so he also has some caring intentions in it.

After all, the north of the city is the most peaceful. Next, there is still the matter of registering the refugees. If this happens, the young people will quickly gain a foothold in Mayi.

It can be seen from this that Li Jing really treats his wife and nephew very well.

When Li Jing asked, the young man quickly stood up and stood with his hands solemnly raised. However, he still glanced at Liu Biejia rather awkwardly. Seeing that his uncle had no expression, he said: "Reporting to the Commander-in-Chief, the refugees temporarily living in Beicheng...

...There is no need for relief from the county government. According to the official’s opinion, he can be registered immediately to appease the refugees.”

Li Jing nodded slightly, "I already know this. It is a great contribution that the displaced people can live in peace. You have done a very good job, so I will follow you and go back to Hucao. You can remove the old registration of the refugees in Beicheng and get the official registration of Mayi."

"

Liu Biejia blinked his eyes and watched these two acting, and he began to imitate them. There were many children in the family, and the children were all big and small. He was so angry that he wanted to kill a few of them. Let's see.

The orderly appearance of adults and children here is really incomparable...

Of course, what I am talking about is not new at all, and it belongs to the meaning of the title.

Because the refugees in the four cities, Beicheng has the fewest refugees and the simplest origins. They are all locals of Mayi County, so we can just open up a wide margin and cannot be treated the same as the refugees in Yanmen.

Moreover, there are only a few households in Mayi, so we can increase the number of households and make our political achievements look better. Why not?

Over there, Li Jing praised a few words, but then changed the subject and reprimanded: "You still have a sense of proportion in doing things, but you are arrogant and impetuous, and you are too conceited. You often lose more than you gain. Go back and reflect on yourself for three days, and then come and talk to me."

The young man was both happy and frightened and ran away in despair.

Li Jing then smiled apologetically to Liu Biejia, "Young people don't know how difficult things are in the world, so they act erratically and make Brother Liu laugh."

Liu Biejia's face suddenly wrinkled with laughter, and he said: "The county is a great talent, and his vision is unparalleled. With the guidance of an elder like the county, Chen will definitely benefit a lot in the future."

"Brother Liu, thank you very much...Brother Liu is here today. Jing is very happy to see you. Please prepare some wine. Why don't we just have a drink and talk?"

Liu Biejia cupped his hands and said, "But it will follow the wishes of the Lord."

............

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the county household officer is on duty.

On this day, Hu Cao's petty official came to his door. No one else was looking for him, and he only wanted to talk to Li Po.

When Li Po heard the official's intention, he couldn't help but be happy.

He invited the clerk into the house, stopped doing business, and asked Li Chun to immediately prepare pens and paper, and asked Li Chun to take a few people to call all the refugees living in the refugee camp.

The two clerks ate the steaming hot treasure soup, chewed the soft flour cakes, and also ate some strange things. They tasted very good. It was said that they were called dumplings. For a while, they had a great impression of Li Po.

They all thought in their hearts that it was indeed similar to what Chen Changzhang ordered. Once they found this person, there was no need to go to war, just the two of them could handle the matter.

Li Po only asked a few questions, and he knew that the tax collector at the city gate was responsible for this matter. It turned out that that guy was still engaged in something, and he didn't know how big an official he was.

Naturally, all the refugees were excited beyond words.

The registered permanent residence is Mayi. This type of household registration is of great benefit.

Not only will a homestead be given to you, but you will also be able to make a living by walking around the city of Mayi. If you are interested, you can go to the county government and join the government soldiers. This will bring you many more benefits.

In their view, this is a great event that will benefit their children and grandchildren. Moreover, they are transformed from refugees, which adds to the drama. It is almost a difference between one step in heaven and one in hell.

They can only be grateful to Li Po...

Of course, there are also disadvantages. Those with regular registration must be included in the civil service, and families with young and old people who cannot bear the hardship of hard labor will have almost no way to survive during the Daye years.

The government usually collects a certain amount of taxes in the name of exemption from military service. In one or two years, it is enough to destroy such poor people's families.

From being a refugee to being a regular citizen, and then from being a regular citizen to being a refugee, this will happen repeatedly in various places in the next few years...

Therefore, obtaining official Mayi status at this time may seem good, but in the long run, it is nothing more than that and there is not much difference.

After recording everyone's names, the two clerks carried some coins in their arms and left, leaving behind a room full of people who were full of surprises...

In two more days, everyone will be residents of Mayi County. On this day, the big house was full of joy, and Li Po was also secretly thinking that it was time to have a house of his own.

I asked two petty officials before, and it turns out that the refugees will definitely be dispersed and resettled. This is fine, but leading a large group of people to find a way to survive is really tiring for him.

Then it depends on each person's fate. He doesn't want to rebel. Even if he rebels, looking at the appearance of the people in this room, it will be useless if they gather together.

It is said that blessings never come alone and misfortunes never come alone.

But at the beginning of the seventh year of Daye, good things happened one after another for Li Po.

A few days later, Luo San finally showed up again.
