When Li Ke came to defect to him, Du He thought this guy was a trouble, so he threw the Guancheng Brigade to him.
Who knew that this guy, by virtue of his status as King of Shu and the city management team, would become a big danger to Hu County and everyone was afraid of him.
Not bad!
Du He looked at everyone and asked: "This is the first fire. This county is going to build roads. Is there anyone who opposes it?"
Everyone saw Li Ke, who was sitting next to Du He, looking at him eagerly, searching for something, as if he was about to run away at any moment, so they all lowered their heads.
Du He smiled and said: "Your Highness, look at our officials in Hu County. They are all very cute and very shy. If they don't speak, they are acquiescing, right?"
Li Ke nodded suddenly: "Yes, yes, teacher, they all agreed. They are all praising you in their hearts. Build roads. Teacher said, if you want to be rich, build roads first... We are all scholars, of course we understand."
This is true, but these dogs are too shy to say it."
Everyone: "..."
King Shu, you have changed!
Du He continued: "The second fire is farming. All the more than 30,000 acres of land owned by the county government in the south of the city should be used for farming."
No one spoke.
Even if I object, I dare not speak out.
Du He coughed and said, "The third fire is raising pigs."
"puff……"
A young official in the middle of the third row was selected by the Ministry of Personnel.
When he heard about raising pigs, he couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.
The others all suppressed their laughter.
Raising pigs?
Since the Han Dynasty, as the Han people and the Hu people began to merge, eating pork has become less popular.
Nowadays, only lowly common people eat pork.
Families with a little extra money turn their noses up at pork.
Not to mention raising pigs in a grand manner.
A dignified magistrate of a county actually advocates raising pigs. Isn't this the biggest joke in the world?
Du He raised his eyebrows and pointed at the official: "Where's the bastard from? Drag him out and hang him up!"
This guy was taken out and hung up with Dai Jinyun.
Du He said seriously: "Building roads, farming, and raising pigs will become the three major policies of Hu County. However, building roads will be the responsibility of the Ministry of Construction, and farming and raising pigs will be the responsibility of the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Those who are willing to farm should come forward.
!”
Wow.
People from the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce stood up in unison.
Everyone knows that if you don't farm, you will have to raise pigs.
Raising pigs?
His reputation would be ruined in that lifetime.
No one wants to raise pigs.
Du He's face turned green.
Damn it, you are the only smart ones!
"Is there anyone willing to raise pigs?" Du He asked.
No one answered.
After a while, a voice came from the corner: "Brother Du, I would like to raise pigs!"
Everyone turned to look.
Wei Shuyu stood up slowly: "I want to raise pigs..."
Du He was overjoyed. He personally stepped forward, supported Wei Shuyu, and said, "Brother Wei is so righteous. Okay, from today on, you will be responsible for raising pigs."
"Okay, when will dinner be served? I'm hungry?" Wei Shuyu scratched his head and asked.
Du He: "..."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Three fires were ignited in this way, which can also be said to be the three major policies implemented by Du He in Hu County.
The first major policy is to build roads, open up the road from Huxian County to Chang'an, improve the original winding official road, and build a straight highway to Chang'an.
The second major policy, farming, allocates tens of thousands of acres of land to the south of Huxian County as experimental fields for planting.
The third major policy is pig raising. To the southwest of Hu County, close to the Qinling Mountains, there is a large mountain that is barren and does not produce food. It is also the hilltop of the county government and will be used to raise pigs.
No one dares to disobey Du He's orders.
After all, those who objected were hung on the big trees by the river.
…
When the news came out, the nobles in Hu County would inevitably laugh at Du He.
For the people at the bottom, they don’t think so.
The homeless people filling the streets had despair written all over their faces.
They hoped that Qiu Wanjia was finally dead, and a new county magistrate came to the court.
I thought that the new county magistrate would kill all those damn nobles and return the land, houses, money and food to everyone.
But more than a month has passed and nothing has happened.
There has finally been some movement recently, but it is the county government recruiting scholars to serve as officials.
This has nothing to do with us people or even a penny.
Within a few days, it was reported that the new county magistrate had begun to implement three major policies.
Building roads?
Since ancient times, building roads and rivers has been a waste of time and money.
Farming?
This farmland is different from the past. In the past, the people farmed the farmland themselves, but now the county government farms it themselves. What kind of experimental fields are planted? This is competing with the people for profit.
Raising pigs?
For poor people, raising pigs is actually a very tangled matter. Pigs are different from cattle and sheep. Cows and sheep only need to eat grass, but pigs cannot grow a few pounds if they are not carefully raised.
Meat, but now even people can’t eat enough, how can they have food to raise pigs? The most important thing is that after finally raising the pigs, the pork is very unpalatable. The taste is far different from mutton, and it is tasteless.
It's a waste to throw away something like chicken ribs.
In short, to put it bluntly, these three things have nothing to do with the people.
It's all the county government's business.
Everyone was disappointed.
"What's the use of exempting me from taxes for one year? Now that I have lost my house and even the land, what's the difference between exempting me from taxes and not exempting me from taxes?"
"That's all, just wait to starve to death!"
"I heard that the new county magistrate is a half-grown child. Haha, it is true. He is not doing his job well!"
"God, Qiu Wanjia is bad enough, why don't the government think about us!"
"They are all like birds of a feather, and none of them are good officials!"
Many people were crying in the streets.
At the entrance of a certain alley, several young adults gathered together.
One of them said: "We can't live any longer, so let's run away and go to Chang'an. Even if we can't go to other places, it's better than starving to death!"
"Yes, if you stay here any longer, you will only be eating porridge every day. Maybe the porridge will be gone by some time!"
"But... now the county seat of Huxian County has been guarded, saying that you can only enter but not leave!"
"This new dog magistrate, does he want to kill everyone?"
Several young men clenched their fists and were indignant.
Suddenly, the people around him ran to the south of the city like crazy.
Several people were a little dumbfounded.
Is this an earthquake?
Someone asked: "Old man, why are you running?"
The trembling old man, leaning on a cane and holding a begging bowl, gasped and said: "We are recruiting workers, we are recruiting workers, the county government is recruiting workers!"
A young man said: "What else is the county government doing?"
"It must be a lie again!"
The old man said as he ran: "Recruiting workers, the county government recruits people to build roads, raise pigs, and farm fields. Every day, they get at least ten cents!"
Ten cents?
As soon as several young people heard this, they ran forward and soon left the large group of people behind.
When the old man saw this, he slapped his head and said, "Oh, I should have known I didn't tell you. I don't know how to respect elders at all. Oh, who stepped on my pants, my Jill..."
