0082 Township Dictatorship

The project in the northern section of Longshouqu was started before Li Tai returned to his hometown.

The county has invested 2,000 people, and the county magistrate Zheng Man is responsible for supervising the progress of the project. The large households in the township contributed their capital and small households sent their personnel, and more than 500 Ding power was gathered. A total of more than 2,500 Ding power was more than 2,500 Ding power, and it was more than enough to complete the first stage of fortifications before the spring began to plow.

After Li Tai understood the current preparations and progress of the fortifications, he put forward several more requirements.

First of all, the organizational division of labor of the Qushi Township League. Li Tai, the canal master, naturally, has to manage everything. Under the canal master, six officials will be selected, respectively, in charge of the employment, chariots, warehousing, servicing, food supply and pension.

The labor force is carried out by the county magistrate Zheng Man, and the allocation and use of cattle, horse and carriages is handled by a former township tycoon, and the warehousing person is Wu Jingyi, who urges the villagers to enter the goods as soon as possible.

The branch was handed over to Liu Gong, who went to the village and the market was well-versed. Li Zhusheng was responsible for the supply of food, and Zhao Party Chief of Shangyuan was responsible for the pension and condolences for the disease and disability during the construction period.

After such personnel adjustments, the originally complicated channel project suddenly became clear, and each person in charge divided his responsibilities and was responsible for one aspect. All matters were summarized and the final judgment and decision was made by Li Tai, the canal master.

After the division of labor was agreed, Li Tai first determined the daily labor volume.

Although the faster the cabin work, the better, the better, the laborers who participated in the fortifications were all living people. Li Tai was not used to using these labors to fill in the ditch and earned him a lot of homesickness.

Therefore, after combining the entire construction period, it is tentatively set to work six hours a day, and the labor force is divided into two shifts. If the workload is completed on time, two meals will be given a bucket a day. If the workload is not completed, the dinner will be sold in half.

The second is to set up a warehouse in his Shangyuanzhuang to store the materials donated by the villagers. Anyone who ships five dou of silk or more than one piece of silk needs to be cut and certified. Without the small gold seal on his waist, all the provisions and orders are waste paper.

When Li Tai raised his golden seal to show it to everyone present, the eyes of everyone looking at him changed again, and the envy and admiration in his eyes could not be hidden at all.

Taking advantage of the shock of everyone by the golden seal, Li Tai said again: "Before, he only talked about the canal affairs, but he only voluntarily based on the local morality and never forced him. Fortunately, he is united and his career is expected, so he also needs to be dignified and responsible. He should not continue his hometown and willfulness!"

Generally speaking, matters involving the masses require rules, and rewards and punishments are needed to ensure that things are carried out normally. There was no sign of the eight characters before, so there was no way to talk about the so-called rules. But now things have begun to go through formally, so some rules are needed.

When everyone heard this, they nodded in agreement.

"When you open a canal to divert water, you will benefit from the people and land you flow through. You will use the canal line as the boundary. One dou will be used within a hundred steps to help you, and half a hundred steps away. If you do not accept the grain, you will replace it with one dou. One dou will be a labour. If you have no objection, you will tell the people in the Yanqu Township to observe this local law. Those who violate the law will salivate them together!"

Li Tai first made such a rule. He tried his best to do such a thing, and of course he would not make those unscathing villages lose their money.

"Water matters are beneficial to farming. Any water flow can ensure more than half of the increase in yield. If you spend a bucket of a mu, you can enjoy profit for a long time. This is natural!"

Wu Jingyi took the lead in raising his hand and made a statement, patting his chest and assured: "Fortunately, I can share this righteous matter with you. I will do my best to persuade you to lose! If there is really a vicious household who is stingy and harmful, even if you don't use the criminal code, your hometown feelings can be punished!"

With the spontaneous donation of the villagers, even if the grain is 10,000 stones, it is not enough to maintain the entire construction period. After the construction of the Longshou Canal was completed, there were three or four thousand hectares of arable land that benefited. If one hectares of ten stones were collected, another 30,000 to 40,000 stones could be collected.

If Li Tai proposed such a rural law before planning, he would not have passed it at all. If you talk to each other, everyone will take out food funding. Why are you so big?

But now that the preparations are over, it will be done as long as it is done step by step. Moreover, it has received widespread support from major industries and wealthy families in the countryside. If anyone jumps out and sings the opposite, it will become an annoying minority.

The collection of rent and taxes was a power that the court had. But now Li Tai based on the local sentiment and controlled the local public opinion, and gained the power that was almost the court to collect taxes. This is the embodiment of the power of the local tyrant under the situation of rural sentiment autonomy.

The reason why the village tyrants are stubborn and difficult to deal with is to maintain public opinion, ethics and judicial affairs, and economic resources.

Li Taifei is so vigorous in water conservancy projects, is it really just for a good reputation? At least anyone in the village wants to lose their ethics and morals, so I have to have a say!

"Please advise donations are a matter of course, but we also need to carefully examine the actual situation of the people in Yanqu Township, whether they are young or not. If the family is in a certain household, they also need to understand the suffering. Since we are going to build Yiqu in Huixiang, we cannot do anything contrary to righteousness!"

Li Tai also knew the mighty and domineering nature of the powerful people in the village. Although he wanted to develop this path, it did not mean that he had to learn everything good or bad. It was not his wish that the real poor family in the village would be destroyed in order to build a canal.

So after establishing this rural law, he said again: "Governor Wu must keep this section in mind when he acts in the countryside. Since I am the master of the canal, I will never allow any evil things to happen in my affairs!

Anyone who is extremely poor and has no students who cannot afford to help can enter my village to borrow money and gain power, and can return the surplus after the year. In addition to the canal warehouse, another charity warehouse is set up in my village to help the poor and save the suffering. All requests will be met in this canal matter!"

On the Liyang Grand Reading, Li Tai had seen Yuwen Tai use other people's money to win people's hearts, and soon realized this spirit of "people are me, ghosts are me."

The canals must be repaired, and the food must be collected. If it is indeed a poor family, I can pay in advance, but I cannot treat me as a sucker just because I have a problem.

After all, this is our business. The canal has been repaired and everyone has a good harvest. I burned the IOU, which is my noble character!

"Mr. I am so kind to the public!"

Everyone present heard Li Tai say this and praised him one after another.

"Since you live in this town, you should benefit this area. Only in this way can you be ashamed of your gratitude and fellow villagers."

Li Tai waved his hand politely, and then clasped his fists at the people in the table and said, "You have lived in the country for many years. If you don't have the kindest help, I am powerless in this regard. Even if you have good intentions, you will not be able to perform them. So recently I have often wondered how to demonstrate the righteous act of celebrating the canal affairs. Let me discuss it with you."

While speaking, he asked Li Yantou to take a huge wooden board from outside the hall, took out a map pin and made it public to everyone.

"This is the full picture of the channel line where we are planning to rebuild Longshou Canal. The repainted parts are densely packed with people and goods, such as Dangjin, Bridges and other people."

Li Tai first knocked on the wooden board to explain the content of the map to everyone, and then said, "I think so. Now it is no longer the Han Dynasty. The moral character of the village has been renewed, and the old canal is created. If you still name it for the time being, it will inevitably not be enough to demonstrate the virtues and achievements of the present time.

Therefore, Quqiaoyan Wells are divided into sections and named after those who are consulting in the village with high moral character and righteousness. They are not proud of the countryside, but just want the villagers in the future to know who they are worthy of. Only by eating water and not forgetting to dig wells can they promote good deeds to make the hometown more beautiful!”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but get excited.

Fame and fortune are lifelong pursuits that everyone will have. Putting their names on certain long-lasting markers in the villages and allowing the villagers to pass on their mouths will undoubtedly hit the excitement of these villagers.

This situation has occurred in previous years, but not many local tyrants can receive this treatment. For this reason, when Li Tai proposed this plan, everyone present nodded and echoed, each of them was radiant, and could no longer help but start to fantasize about the scene where their name was on the surface of the countryside.

"Your husband is so kind to you, and you are worthy of being a talented man in famous families! We fellow villagers are short-sighted and can only see how to cultivate canals and cultivate them, but we never expected that there would be such a good plan to demonstrate the local feelings and education!"

When Li Tai heard the praise from Shangyuan Zhao Party Leader, he felt a little awkward. Are you saying this? You must be the ones who are aristocratic, and you can make a fame and reputation?

Another person raised his hand and asked, "Li Lang, after all, there are few Quqiaoyan wells, but there are many consultants in the village. Who can be named and what cannot be said? Can you say it conclusively?"

At present, there are more than 40 people in the village who are involved in the canal affairs, but Li Tai has only marked more than a dozen places. Anyone who works with him will definitely have less than half of the treatment.

Li Tai was waiting for this sentence. After hearing this, he smiled and said, "There is no level of righteousness, but the depth of merit. After the canal is completed this year, I will organize the hometown ethics and honors, and then ask the villagers to recommend the local sages and seniors to participate in the recommendations, so as to ensure that everyone can hope for it!"

Put this matter after the canal is completed before proceeding. In the first place, we encourage everyone to carry it together. Only by making more contributions can we have a better chance of winning.

Second, Li Tai also needs a handle to control people's hearts. Before the matter is finished, no one can think of sing the opposite tune for me!

Li Tai only thinks of so many things about the rural laws and regulations and personnel frameworks of the canal affairs. The following details will be enriched and supplemented, so I will not discuss them for now. If you encounter problems, you will solve them.

After this discussion, everyone gained a lot. Knowing that Li Tai was tired from rushing to the road, they each got up and said goodbye.

After seeing off these villagers' wealthy people, Li Tai had time to rest. While having supper, he heard the joy of the villagers coming from outside the village.

After pondering for a moment, Li Tai ordered the villagers to prepare some hot food for soup cakes and eat them. While the villagers gathered outside, they recruited some idle people from the village to do short-term work for one or two months, and further expanded the manor.
