The next day, after seeing off Yu Huai, Dong Cheng, Guo Dake and others, Li Hui went to the Yamen leisurely, and when he saw that nothing happened, he was ready to go home.
Before he could leave, Yi Cheng sent a document from the Ministry of Officials in the capital, which first affirmed the achievements of the northern state capital in the past year, and then supported the promotion of corn.
Because Zhou was there, he took care of the northern state capital in every detail, even giving the maximum amount of money for promotion.
This is undoubtedly a powerful reassurance for everyone in the government office.
After Shen Jue and Mou Haibin saw it, they both laughed happily. You must know that after staying in the north for so long, this was the first time they received a commendation document from the Ministry of Officials in the capital. How much was each person rewarded? The money is written clearly.
All people are treated equally, and each person is given ten taels, including the officials of each county.
This award is worthy of the award. After all, there are so many public officials in the northern state capital, and this money is quite a lot. Moreover, ten taels of silver can do a lot of things in the northern border. Naturally, it will be slightly worse in the capital. It is probably not enough for a meal. .
Li Hui called Zhang Dianli and handed him the silver notes he carried in the documents, asking him to cash them in cash as soon as possible and put them in everyone's hands.
"...Remember, you have to go and distribute it in person to ensure that everyone gets this imperial award."
"Yes, sir, please rest assured, I will definitely do it." Zhang Dianli bowed his hands, took the banknote, and quickly left the office.
Throughout the afternoon, everyone in the government office was extremely happy.
Who can be unhappy with the extra ten taels of silver for no reason? Since the change of governor, they have really gotten better and better. Not only has the reputation of the people improved, but the quality of life and government offices have also improved significantly.
On the third day after Yan Yixin returned home, they packed their things and prepared to set off.
The young couple brought Shunxi, Jiyuan and Bai Shao with them. Shunxi took care of everything on the road, Jiyuan was the servant, and Bai Shao was responsible for eating and taking care of Li Yue.
It can be seen that the newlywed daughter-in-law is living a good life, with charming eyebrows and rosy complexion. The parents see it and are very happy.
Cheng Xue handed the prepared money and food to Li Yue, gave some instructions and stopped nagging.
Many arrangements have been made along the way, Yan Yixin is good at martial arts, and more importantly, the entire Liangyan area is clearing out banditry, so there is no need to worry about safety.
The captured bandits and robbers were all exiled to eight positions in Liangyan to build garrison defense lines without beating or scolding them.
There was no wages, so they worked for nothing. They only had three meals a day and clothes to sleep in. It was impossible to escape. There were defenders everywhere, and hunting dogs could be seen everywhere. If you dared to escape, you would be caught.
After sending Yan Yixin away, Li Hui began to get busy.
The first is to publicize the matter of chemical fertilizers. The gap between fertilized land and unfertilized land this year is very obvious.
There is basically no need to publicize this. Each county is waiting for the government to issue regulations and then comply with them.
Li Hui formulated a three-year plan based on his term of office.
In the first year, the government will contribute 70% of the investment, and the common people will contribute 30% to purchase it. Those who have no money can borrow the money and pay back the money with the grain after the grain is grown.
In the second year, both parties can share half the money as a family, and they can also take credit first and then repay the money.
In the third year, the people will contribute 70% of the capital and the government will contribute 30%. Credit is not allowed and must be settled in the spring.
In the fourth year, which was the last year of his term, everything returned to normal and the people were able to fully accept chemical fertilizers.
Whether you want to stay on or be transferred, it depends on the arrangements above.
As for the promotion of corn, it was naturally decided to focus on the northern state capital. After all, they started it here first.
Just like spring plowing, the government uniformly distributes corn seeds and selects good land for planting with chemical fertilizers. The fields selected for planting corn are exempted from the field tax for that year. During the autumn harvest, each acre of land must hand over 600 kilograms of high-quality corn to the court.
The rest belongs to the owner of the land.
Those who grow corn are not allowed to eat the corn without permission or resell it at a high price before the corn is fully mature. Once found, they will be dealt with according to the "Law of Liangyan".
The purpose of promoting corn is to make corn a staple food for the common people. Therefore, in terms of setting the price, according to the grade of corn, the degree of dryness and wetness, etc., it is set at four to six cents per pound.
The two decisions were distributed at the end of October, and counties began to publicize them after receiving the news.
In the spring of this year, "dividing fields to households" began. Although the process of farming was very rough and difficult, the results were good. You grow the land and eat it yourself. After paying the tax, you can have enough food and clothing. Everyone is looking forward to the future.
.
Now that the common people have heard the news, they are gearing up and waiting for the next spring to start a big fight.
The first winter snow of the year came so early and so hard that the official road was closed for seven days, making it impossible for caravans from outside to get through and caravans from inside unable to get out.
Although the Street Department is trying its best to make adjustments, it still has little effect.
Not only that, houses in various counties also experienced heavy snowfall, and people were even injured in some places. For example, in Port County.
Li Hui rushed over as soon as he got the news, and the county magistrate Fu Zhao was also in charge of the scene in Woluo Kuei Village.
The buildings here were originally from Beiqi. I planned to allocate funds here to improve the housing next year when I had a little more money. Unexpectedly, God gave me eye drops this year.
Fu Zhao hurried over, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, saying:
"I have seen Mr. Li. It is really the dereliction of duty of this subordinate that has caused such a situation in the area under his jurisdiction."
Speaking of which, the house collapsed because it was in disrepair and the people who lived there were lazy.
Naturally, Li Hui couldn't really find fault with him, so he patted him on the shoulder and said:
"It is not easy to integrate the two living habits. You have done a good job and there is no need to blame yourself. How many houses have collapsed here? Is there a record?"
When he mentioned this, Fu Zhao became furious, exhaled a breath of turbid air, and said with a wry smile:
"To be honest with you, this Woluo Village is in constant trouble. Ever since it was recovered this year, various situations have arisen. If the officials hadn't brought people here to keep an eye on the autumn harvest, I'm afraid the grain production in the fields would have been reduced. The situation has changed.
Three, in the end, the lower official had no choice but to send high-ranking officials to keep an eye on them, but the effect was not great."
While he was talking, Gao Xiaoli came over, bowed his hands and said:
"Xiaoguan Gao Zhengyang has met Mr. Li. I also asked Mr. Li to tell you. I really told him about cleaning the snow on the roof, but the effect was not great. I had no choice but to take Li Zheng with me, and the eldest son of the family helped them.
Cleaning up, but the three of us only have six hands, and the 89 households in the village are simply too busy to do it."
At the end of the story, Gao Xiaoli almost cried, he really felt aggrieved.
The county government office also has three classes and six offices, which are not as big as the government office. The junior official is the official position of the person in charge of each office.
There is a saying that "you can never wake up a person who is pretending to sleep." This is what Wo Luo Kui Village is like today...
