Chapter 691 Be Kind

As soon as these words came out, not only Bai Shan, but even Man Bao couldn't help staring at him, feeling that Magistrate Tang was very shameless.

Huayang County is an upper county, which is attached to Yizhou City, and Luojiang County is a lower county. The population and economy are far behind Huayang County. How can it be poor?

But Zhou Zhoulang didn't know these twists and turns, he scratched his head in embarrassment, and whispered: "But Mr. Tang, this price is really cheap."

He doesn't understand those twists and turns, but he knows that the selling prices of the two sides should not differ too much.

He sold it to someone else for 140 yuan a bucket, and what he gave to Tang County Magistrate was 120 yuan, which was already the bottom line. If it was lower, the other side would have to lower the price.

Seeing the embarrassment on his fourth brother's face, Man Bao spoke for him, "Master Tang, there is only one street in Luojiang County. With so many shops in Huayang County, how can it be poorer than Luojiang County?"

"But we spend a lot of money," Tang County magistrate cried poorly, "Aside from other things, look at the number of refugees. How many refugees do you need to settle in Luojiang County? How many do we need to settle in Huayang County?"

He snapped his fingers and said: "In addition to the grain seeds, there are also agricultural tools, as well as their pre-harvest relief, and houses are indispensable. All of this will cost money. I think you are all kind-hearted, so I invite you If you help me out, you will earn less anyway."

Man Bao's heart softened, and he couldn't help but look at Zhou Zhou Lang.

Zhou Zhoulang kept shaking his head at her, but he also hesitated in his heart.

Bai Shan felt that something was wrong, and asked, "Master Tang, why are you suddenly resettling refugees? Where did you get so many lands?"

There have been constant refugees in Huayang County, because the resettlement in the local area is slow, and refugees who fled and returned to their hometowns continue to come in every day.

The speed of resettlement was much lower than the number of inflowing refugees, so many refugees naturally gathered.

Therefore, in some markets, you can often see refugees in ragged clothes grabbing work, and beggars begging along the street.

Master Tang's smile faltered, as if he had also thought of the current difficulties in Huayang County, but he still said with some pride: "Our county government has newly discovered a few pieces of wasteland and found it to be fairly flat, so we plan to distribute it to those registered earlier. refugees."

Bai Shan asked: "How many refugees can be accommodated?"

"Naturally, we can't give each person 20 mu of Yongye farmland as promulgated by the imperial court. Fortunately, those fields are still fertile, and the harvest should not be bad under intensive cultivation, so I have reserved two mu of farmland for each person. Currently registered About eight hundred and sixty people can be accommodated." Master Tang said with a smile: "In addition to the newly opened wasteland organized by some refugees, about one thousand and two hundred people can be accommodated by the end of this year. In this way, the refugees inside and outside Huayang County Even if four-fifths of it is settled, for the rest, think of other ways."

Man Bao and Bai Shan opened their mouths wide, so many people, so many places?

Man Bao swallowed his saliva and asked: "Did those wastelands get invisibility before, and then became invisible?"

Magistrate Tang laughed loudly when he heard this, and said happily, "It's about the same."

He straightened his face and cried poor again, "So I'm poor now, think about it, so many people need to be resettled, among other things, it's going to be winter soon, so we have to build houses for them? We have to give us food and drink ?Plus farm tools and seeds, everything costs money.”

Bai Shan is currently starting a national policy study, and he is very interested, so he simply asked the county magistrate Tang to talk, "For things like building houses, let the refugees do it directly, and they don't need wages, right?"

County magistrate Tang nodded, "I'm thinking about using work as relief, but wood, bricks and stones have to be bought with money."

"It's troublesome, just ask someone to dig the stones, and you can also dig the bricks yourself," Man Bao said: "When the county magistrate Yang resettled the refugees, he asked them to dig the bricks and stones themselves."

Bai Shan nodded, "Wood is easier. Draw a piece of mountain and let them go in and chop it by themselves. After building a house, draw lots to live in. Don't worry if they dare not be dedicated."

These are the methods of County Magistrate Yang. Not only Bai Shan and Man Bao, but also Bai Erlang know it, because all three of them were arrested together with the county school students and went to the front line to record their working hours.

After all, refugees can come to build houses, but management requires literate people.

County Magistrate Tang was stunned when he heard this, and then said after a while, "But that tree belongs to someone else's family, how can you chop it down?"

"There must be mountains that have not been divided," Man Bao said: "The mountains of the imperial court are not just a matter of your words, you can cut them down with a swipe of your hand."

County Magistrate Tang felt overwhelmed, and said, "This really can't be a matter of my words. This is Huayang County, not Luojiang County. I have the Governor, Jiedu Envoy, and Yizhou King watching over my head."

Man Bao was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't this for the good of the people?"

County magistrate Tang said meaningfully: "You think it is a good thing for the people, but others may not necessarily think so. For example, if there are too many trees cut down, if there is more rain in the coming year, the mud and rocks on the mountain may collapse. But it is a matter of human life, so you dare to say that stopping it is not for the sake of the people?"

Man Bao thought about it, looked at Bai Shan, and asked, "Then why is County Magistrate Yang okay?"

Magistrate Tang sighed, "Because it's in Luojiang County."

In a remote, economically backward Xia County, as long as it doesn't cause trouble, there are so many government affairs every day, who can go across the mountains and rivers to stare at such a small county?

However, Huayang County is located in Yizhou City. The next street of Huayang County Government Office is the Governor’s Mansion, another turn is the Jiedushi’s Mansion, and two streets away is the Yizhou Prince’s Mansion. Every morning, this Huayang County What Ling ate, before noon, as long as the chiefs of the other three prefectures want to know, someone will report it immediately.

No matter how powerful they are, I'm afraid they even know when he farted better than him.

But Luojiang County, if it wasn't for the sudden influx of so many new wheat seeds in Yizhou City, the Governor's Mansion, Jiedushi Mansion and Yizhou Prince's Mansion would not have known that Yang Heshu had made such a big commotion in Luojiang County.

Then he led all the nobles in the capital for a walk.

What is the sky high and the emperor far away, what is a county parent official, Yang Heshu is like that.

Although he has a higher official position than him, although he looks more decent than him, although he may handle more official documents in a day than he handles in a month, is he still more aggrieved than Yang Heshu?

County Magistrate Tang was depressed for a while, then continued to look at Man Bao with a smile on his face, and said sincerely: "Cheaper? If it wasn't for the large amount of ransom paid by Ying's family, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to buy new wheat seeds. I can only buy old wheat seeds."

Man Bao didn't believe it, "But now the price of old wheat seeds in the grain shop is also higher than 120 yuan."

County Magistrate Tang: ...Are all the children these days so smart?

It's not easy to fool at all.

Magistrate Tang sighed: "Think about when I was eleven or twelve years old, I saw poor people on the street, and I was able to spend all the money I had with me to help others..."

Man Bao and Bai Shan: ...Are all grown-ups so shameless nowadays?

Lies are not drafted.
