Chapter 113 Playing the piano against the cow

From Longxiang's entry into Hefei to the summer of the fourth year of Jian'an, Hefei grew from an empty city to 17,000 people. With the east wind of Yuan Yin abandoning Shouchun, the people in the city may be able to exceed 20,000 by the end of the year.

There is a place to live, farming and farming, food and food, law and discipline, low taxes and less corvee labor

Hefei, which was originally deserted, is now a paradise in troubled times, and people's lives are gradually becoming normal.

Most of the households who arrived first had surplus grain, and the situations of refugees later were different. Some were working hard to get their identity numbers, some were recruited to learn skills in the craftsman camp, and some were just assigned to Xintian.

In short, there is hope of survival.

Where there are people, there is human nature.

Later generations took shortcuts to quickly "get out of poverty", so many of them chose to intermarry with early residents.

There were no powerful people in Hefei at this time, and the ruling class did not indulge in pleasure. The people at the bottom were even more disparate, so there were happy events among the people every month.

Whether it was Feng Zhong, Tang Xu's relatives, or the clan members moved to the Xu brothers, new members were integrated into each other.

Once the in-laws bond is formed, the interests are bound together. Some voices seeking special care are slowly transmitted from the grassroots to the upper level, and finally to Feng Zhong, Tang Qian, Lu Su and others.

Long Xiang saw too many clevernesses of the lower-level people on the construction site. He knew that this was human greed, so he neither blamed nor expressed his opinion, and planned to deal with it coldly.

Feng Zhong and Tang Qian were both poor and had a life-and-death experience with their fellow comrades. Faced with the small requests of their subordinates, they could not bear to refuse, but could not make decisions because they had to pass the level of the chief clerk Lu Su.

Lu Su has been the chief of the East City and promised to help Longxiang manage Hefei well. He knew that the law was not strict and could not convince the public. However, considering Longxiang's "willfulness" when he distributed a new house, and considering Feng Zhong and Tang Feng's face, he could only end up being able to do so.

Learn to treat Longxiang cold.

As the sounds increased, they were eventually placed on the table.

Taking advantage of the fact that night, Lu Su went to the next door to get a bamboo slip.

He handed it to Long Xiang and said, "Yunqi, I will harvest and deliver the grain soon. These are some requests I have counted in the past six months. Most of them hope to take care of the rent and tax, and some want to replace the better fields."

Dangdangdang.

Long Xiang looked and tapped the table lightly, thinking that this kind of thing would not work. He thought that he was completely selfless and would easily make the hearts of the soldiers. But if he opened this hole, the group of people would become a privileged class in disguise.

.

Although it is normal to use power for personal gain in feudal society, Longxiang still hopes that Hefei will be clearer. At least in the early stage of entrepreneurship, we must adhere to the principles. Otherwise, like Yuan Shu who just died, he will take the lead in exploiting the people with the privileged class and eventually live

A usurper who can't even drink honey water.

Longxiang was engaged in civil engineering in his previous life. He knew that in order to save costs, the construction party would tamper with cement, steel bars and other materials, but there would be a bottom line for others to do things, so the quality must meet the minimum design requirements, otherwise the tofu project will collapse.

"Um?"

Long Xiang looked and thought, suddenly found two points from the bamboo slips, then raised his head and asked Lu Su: "Zijing, I see that the request above is basically the Uncle Zhong and Uncle, why are there no Cao Xingren?"

"It is estimated that General Cao's cavalry battalion is small."

When Lu Su was stroking his beard and analyzing, Cao Xing quickly stood up and agreed: "Yes, yes, sir, right, there are only thirty people here, and there are few people and few family members."

Long Xiang nodded slightly: "You don't have to worry. After the summer harvest, the market will open for trade. If you buy horses, you will add people to you."

"Thirty-year-olds are enough, so I will not be in a hurry." Cao Xing sat down again after saying that.

Long Xiang rubbed his forehead, sorted out his thoughts, turned to face Feng Zhong, Tang Xu: "Uncle Zhong, Uncle Xu, what do you think?"

Tang Xu took the lead and said, "I don't think it's anything. Anyway, I can't finish the food in the official warehouse. These brothers will go through life and death, so it's not too much to give some grace."

Feng Zhong thought for a while and added: "Although the harvest this year is not as good as last year, it is not a bad harvest overall. I asked Mr. Zijing the day before yesterday. He said that in addition to the annual expenditure, there is still a small part of the surplus of tax grain.

If it really doesn't work, I'll give them some exemptions, as for changing the field, Deyi and Mr. to make an idea."

"What do you think about Zijing?" Long Xiang refused to comment.

Lu Su stroked his beard and shook his head: "The two generals are right. Yun Qi could have been kind to his subordinates, but it is best to deal with it secretly and not to publicize it, otherwise those who have not been exempted will easily become resentful."

"Who dares to complain?"

Tang Xu interrupted angrily: "Without us defending the city, distributing grain, and distributing the land, they might have starved to death."

"Hehe, that's the reason."

Tang Xu's choking words made Lu Su smile awkwardly. He looked at Long Xiong, as if he was talking about this matter, and you had to make an idea in the end.

Longxiang put the bamboo slips on the table and said with a plain expression: "Boan and Zhongkang are not present tonight. I don't know why there is no name on the bamboo slips. It's because Zijing has no statistics.

Or are they not reporting it yet?”

Lu Su bowed and replied, "Neither the two generals mentioned it. As for whether their subordinates have any opinions, Su is not sure."

Feng Zhong analyzed that, "Xu Village is relatively young and strong, and basically all joined the army and have sufficient fixed grain salary, so there will be fewer difficulties."

"Xu Village has many troops, but the total population is also large. Moreover, they are brave enough to fight, so they deserve the salary. Cao Xing must have seen him with his own eyes when he went north with me."

After Long Xiang finished speaking, he deliberately looked at Cao Xing and asked him to testify to him.

Cao Xing nodded and agreed: "Yes, they all take one as ten."

"We are all rough and don't know how to deal with government affairs. If Yun Qi has any ideas, he might as well say it directly. If there are any difficulties, I will settle Lao Tang and I."

Seeing that Long Xiang was unhappy, Feng Zhong raised the topic on Xu Village again, and guessed that the other party did not agree to the tax cut. He was Long Xiang's staunch supporter, so he gave up the officer's demands without hesitation.

"My brothers have difficulties at home, so of course they cannot sit idly by, but the fairness and justice of taxes are related to the laws in Hefei, so they cannot be easily reduced or exempted."

Long Xiang paused for a moment, pushed the bamboo slips to Feng Zhong, and said, "You and Bo follow the list above, go door to door to see the situation. If you have difficulty living, just send the food in my name.

Zijing recorded the grain transfer from the official warehouse on me, so there was no need to be sneaky."

"It's wonderful, Zuo Zhuan says, "Waring against small and big prisons, even if you can't observe them, you must be emotional." Yunqi abides by justice and does not transcend the law. The people of Hefei will fight to the death to repay them. At this time, even if thousands of people are invading, they will be invaded.

, there is no worries.”

Lu Su stroked his beard and looked at Long Xiong with admiration.

Tang Feng asked silly: "What? I don't understand very much. It's cumbersome to adjust grain from the warehouse. Isn't it easier to reduce and exempt? Anyway, it's all Hefei's grain."

Lu Su smiled and explained: "Although they are all food from Hefei, the treatment methods are different, and the effects are very different. Direct reduction and exemption of private abolition of public abolition. Through Yunqi rewards, public assistance is used to help the poor, and the people will

Happy and praiseworthy.”

"It's so difficult to understand." Tang Xu scratched his head.

Seeing this, Feng Zhong poked Tang Xu: "If you don't understand, ask less. Just know that they are right, and waste Mr. Zijing's words."
