"Okay, get up! Get up!" Lian Zining said loudly: "I have something to announce!"

"It was cold at this time. I saw that many of you were not covered in clothes. I just opened He Yunyan's warehouse and found that there were a lot of clothes and food inside. The official announced that every family in the Qileniwei, with household registration as a proof, could come to the prefect's office to claim one stone of rice and two cotton jackets!"

After the announcement of this order, the people were naturally extremely grateful. /《》/《》》 full text txt download

Even Zining didn't like the junk family that He Yunyan had accumulated, but the relief of these things to the people made the entire Chilenivier grateful.

Although it had only been an hour since Lian Zining's prestige had reached its peak here.

Yesterday the weather was gloomy all day, but today it miraculously cleared up. The sun shone down, blocking a layer of gold edge for his tall figure wearing a cloak. To the eyes of the people, it was tall like a god.

The people of this era have really not asked much. If you can treat them a little better, they will be grateful.

Then, Lian Zining whispered to Shi Dazhu: "Go and invite the first few people to the mansion to see me."

Lian Zining returned to the mansion and just sat down and drank a cup of tea when Shi Dazhu brought the person there.

"Please, please!" Shi Dazhu opened the mahogany wooden door and said with a smile.

But he is an iron-blooded soldier, and his smile is a little stiff and cold, which makes the people invited feel a little nervous.

They walked in carefully and saw Lian Zining sitting there, and quickly knelt down and said they had seen Master Wang.

Lian Zining stood up, walked to them, helped them up with a smile, and said, "You guys, please sit down!"

The people were flattered, with fear on their faces, lowered their heads, and laughed with their faces, but they didn't dare to sit down. One person in the middle said, "There is no seat for the villain in front of my uncle. The villain should stand! It's comfortable to stand!"

"Yes, comfortable!" the two men agreed.

Even Zining didn't force himself and looked up and down. There were three people coming, all wearing round neck shirts, and they looked unusual for ordinary people. The man in the middle was about forty years old, thin and shriveled, and looked quite sarcastic. The other two were both in their sixties, but they followed the middle-aged man.

"What do you call three?" Lian Zining asked with a smile.

The middle-aged man said carefully: "You are polite. My youngest surname is Jia and his name is She. This is Zhou Qi, Zhou Yuanwai and Luodian, Luo Yuanwai."

"Jia She?" Lian Zining always felt that the name was familiar, and suddenly remembered that this was not a person in Dream of Red Mansions? He held back his smile and praised: "Good name!"

It was perhaps the first time that Jia She was praised for his good name, so he had to laugh with him.

Lian Zining said: "I just saw that the three of them have a great status among the people!"

As soon as this said, the three of them were a little bit scared. Lian Zining naturally knew what they were thinking and said, "Don't get me wrong. I have no other meaning. The dynasty is a custom. There is no government under the county. Everything is supported by the old gentlemen in the village. /《》/《》 full text txt download several people here for many years and are deeply rooted. I just came here, so I have to borrow a few people."

After hearing this, Sanren Tang looked calmed down. Jia She said: "The youngest ones do some business at home and have some money. If the villagers in the countryside cannot make a fuss, they will always help each other. Therefore, they are not worthy of being accustomed to adults."

"It turned out to be a few charity businessmen." In this era, wealthy businessmen, including rural landlords, were far from as bad as those shown in later TV series. Everyone knew why those TV series were biased, so I won't say it. In this era, there were very few rich people who were rich and unkind. They were all native to the local area and had deep-rooted family roots. They valued the word "fame" very much, and they were very common. They built bridges and roads, helped neighbors, and used money to run porridge shops during drought and flood.

"You are kind to you, sir."

Lian Zining said: "What are you doing for a living?"

Jia Shedao: "The young man has a car shop at home, and there is also a little field outside the city. Zhou Yuanwai has a money shop at home, and Luo Yuanwai has a restaurant industry."

"Jia She, I think you are elegant and quite good at talking! You don't look like an ordinary businessman." Lian Zining nodded and asked.

"Adults are very careful." Jia She smiled and said, "I went to school when I was young."

After chatting, Lian Zining observed secretly and gained some general understanding. Jia She was a very smooth person, but she was still decent and had her own persistence. She was considered a conscientious businessman. And those two people, it would be better not to mention them. They had never seen such a great official as Lian Zining in their lives. They were so scared that they were just kowtowers.

Lian Zining finally got to the point: "I invite you to the extreme today, there is something to ask."

"Sir, please do what the younger ones can do, and they will definitely work hard for adults."

"You have also seen that Chileniwei was so defamed by He Yunyan. At this time, he was pacified by my official. He always had to appease the people, develop the economy, and restore farming. I have no time to do these things. My official subordinates are all soldiers, and they can't do them. You are from your hometown and have a high prestige, so I will take care of you for the time being. I wonder what the three of you mean?"

"Let us be officials?" Old Zhou and Old Luo were immediately stunned and looked at Jia She.

"This?" Jia She was very moved. Although they were rich, their social status was not high. If they could become officials, they would naturally be unsuccessful.

He also had some doubts: "After all, the young man is a merchant. Can the court agree to this?"

Lian Zining waved his hand: "You don't have to worry about this. The emperor ordered my official to restrain the military, civil affairs on the south bank of the Songhua River. Local officials have the right to report the post. Qileniwei is just a mere magistrate (Qilniwei should be equivalent to a county in the pass, and the ground on Xishenwei is at the level of the prefecture. I was confused before, sorry). You are so prestige that you are a good candidate, so just say whether you can do it or not!"

Jia She was overjoyed and smiled and said, "Brother, how dare you not obey your orders when you speak?"

"Okay!" Lian Zining said: "However, I have promised you this position, but there are some requirements."

"Sir, just say it!" Jia She thought he wanted money and was ready for heavy bleeding.

"I will give you two requests."

Jia She still had a smile on her face, and she was already complaining. This Wu Yi Bo is so cruel. No wonder he became such a big official at such a young age. I wonder how much more his property can be left after this?

However, Lian Zining said: "The first thing is to restore public security and restore the hearts of the people! There were still some officials in the former prefect's office, and I kept them all for you. With their help, you should be able to take over the affairs of Chileniva. I will give you a deadline. Before the New Year, Chileniva must be restored to stability and the hearts of the people."

"Yes, sir, the younger ones will do it!" Jia Shexin said that this is a good thing and must be done with care.

"The second thing is to resume production! This military disaster has caused too much damage to agriculture. I have exempted you from the spring grain tax for next year. If there is not enough in the future, I can also order people to provide relief. But in the fall of next year, you must pay at least one million stones of grain to me!"

"Ah?!" Jia She grew up and looked like a frightened hippo.

"What? Can't do it?" Lian Zining glanced at him sideways.

"Master, sir, master!" Jia She shouted and said, "You are from the inner palace and are not familiar with us outside the inner palace. The weather here is bitter and cold, and it is not as good as the inner palace. You can only grow grain for one season a year. Although our land here is fertile, the soil and soil are sufficient, and the grain output is higher than that in the inner palace, but one acre of land can produce two stones and five dou of grain. Although our Qileniwei is not small, most of the land is forests, mountains, lakes, grasslands, and cultivated land is only 750,000 acres. If you pay one million stones, the rest will not be enough to eat, and the people will starve to death."

He is an expert in important places, and is also familiar with Chileniva, and he can easily get all the data.

Lian Zining smiled and said, "Who said you were asked to plant wheat?"

“?…”

Jia She and the other two couldn't figure it out. Why don't they plant wheat? Millet? That thing yields are even lower! Rice? This is OK, but how can they change dry land here to paddy fields?

"Have you ever heard of corn?" Lian Zining asked.

"Corn?" The three of them shook their heads, and Lian Zining sighed inwardly. After all, the Ming Dynasty was inconvenient to exchange information. The planting of corn in Shandong had achieved a bumper harvest. His own 500,000 acres of land alone had collected one million stones! Even the warehouses in the mansion were full of piles, and a pile of warehouses had to be built. Corn gradually spread, and there were already many plantings in Shandong, but it seemed that there was no news outside the customs.

Lian Zining explained: "This is an extremely high-yield crop. It was brought to Japan by my official. It was a crop uploaded from a continent tens of thousands of miles away from the other side of the sea in the extreme east. It can be steamed directly, or it can be ground into flour and steamed into steamed buns or pancakes like wheat, or made into porridge. It tastes very good."

"This thing likes damp heat and has a very short growth period. It's just three or four months. Planting in spring will bring good harvests in autumn. The most important thing is that the corn has a very high yield. Even thin fields have a yield of two stones. If it is a fertile field, three stones are also common! With the fertility of the land outside the pass, it's no problem to produce four or five stones per mu of land."

As soon as this said, the three of them were shocked. The first time they came, Ning Ning didn't believe it. The output of this thing is so high!

But Lian Zining's words made them dare not disbelieve, and they must not disbelieve.

"I will provide you with a batch of corn seeds at that time. Don't worry. If the output does not meet the number mentioned by me, I will definitely not collect so much food. If it reaches it, it will be one million stones. There is no need to discuss it. Qilenivi's 750,000 mu of land, and one mu of land is calculated based on four stones, the output is three million stones. This official requires one million stones, and ten taxes are three, isn't it too much?"

Everyone said that this part has come up, so Jia She and his friends can only agree.

Ten taxes are actually not many, and it can even be said to be very heavy tax rates. You should know that the taxes set by Taizu of this dynasty were only thirty taxes. Not only the Ming Dynasty, but the Western Han Dynasty, light taxes were also thirty taxes, but thirty taxes were just a number on paper. If this was such a small tax, what would an official eat and drink?

In fact, except for the overly perverted feudal dynasties that set a super high tax of ten or seven taxes, any dynasty was not too high. The Western Han Dynasty was thirty taxes, the Eastern Han Dynasty was thirty taxes, the Sui Dynasty was thirty taxes, and the Tang Dynasty was thirty taxes, and the Tang Dynasty was thirty taxes. This tax rate was really not high, but it was so comfortable that the people lived without seeing the lives of the people.

The suffering of the people has always been hard work and harsh taxes rather than regular taxes.

Take the Han Dynasty as an example. During the reign of Emperor Wen, who had the lightest taxes, there were thirty taxes. However, with the messy local donations and miscellaneous taxes, coupled with the difficulties of tax collectors and various means, the actual tax rate could reach 100 and 500 taxes! Half of the people's food was taken away.

If the court had ten taxes and three, I was afraid that the people of the world would not survive and rebel, because the court's ten taxes and three would be truly implemented, it would become ten taxes and seven or even ten taxes and eight/nine taxes. Who can bear it except the Japanese serfs? Lian Zining's ten taxes and three did not have this concern, because his territory is too small now, and Chileniwei was under his nose and he would never dare to increase taxes randomly. In this way, the burden on the people is not heavy.

Everything is negotiated.

At that moment, Lian Zining called Shi Dazhu and wrote a document, stamped with his seal of General Songhuajiang. With this letter of appointment, Jia She was the legitimate seventh-rank magistrate of the Ming Dynasty.

The two of them also appointed a position as a county magistrate and a divine Shi.

If the magistrate is the county party secretary of the later generations and manages everything, then the county magistrate is the county magistrate who assists in managing the matter, and the Dianshi is the chief of the public security bureau and the minister of the armed forces, which is exactly what Chileniva needs to restore public security.

The three of them stared blankly at the letter of appointment in black and white in their hands, their faces full of excitement and disbelief. No one expected that in just half an hour, they had changed from a commoner to a dignified official! A formal official of the Ming Dynasty!

How many scholars are hanging their heads and stabbing their thighs just for this official position! And those who are from merchants who have never been an official in their lives have become an official at this moment!

The bright red seal of General Songhuajiang on the letter of appointment was telling the rationality of this document and calming their hearts.

After taking over the letter of appointment, they became Lian Zining's subordinates, kowtowed and bowed in a regular manner, and met Shangguan.

"By the way, I will take out the cotton and food from the treasury to help the victims. This is your first major task, go and do it!"

Jia She was grateful and kowtowed, "Thank you for your kindness."
