After Zhang Junping gave the order, he threw another order sign on the ground.

"Here!"

Sun Xu and Li Hefeng went up to pick up the order sign, took the official documents and took the yamen runners to investigate the temples and Taoist temples in Mouping County.

Zhang Junping's order, the temples and temples in Muping County were affected by the disaster.

In a temple, no more than one-third of the certificates are included.

Most of the others are fake Taoist priests and fake monks who do not have certificates.

The main purpose of entering the temple is to evade labor and taxes.

Of course, there are also some people who are sincere in their hearts and devote themselves to practicing, but they just don’t have the money to get a certificate of rituals.

In the Song Dynasty, it is really not cheap to apply for a certificate of tribute. It is impossible to get it without a few dozen cents of money!

After giving the order, Zhang Junping announced his withdrawal.

Not long after returning to Houya, the head of the ten major families came to find him again.

Because the conversation between Zhang Junping and them just now was not over, Zhang Junping had three things to explain to them just now.

As a result, the first thing he said was that Wuran Temple refused to replace the land, which angered Zhang Junping, so he went directly to the court to ask about the case and sent someone to seize Wuran Temple.

Now that the matter of Wuran Temple has been sent to seize, we naturally have to continue the topic just now.

After the head of the ten major families sat down, Zhang Junping continued: "Let's continue with the topic just now, the construction of reservoirs and canals. Your ten major families not only have to pay, but also work!

We must shoulder the responsibility of you as the top ten major families in Mouping County!

This construction of a reservoir canal will definitely require a large number of civilians to be recruited!

When a large number of civilians gather together, it is easy to have problems!

If you are incited by someone with ulterior motives, a big mess may break out!

Throughout history, several huge rebellions began with recruiting the villagers!

For example, wasn’t the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty just caused a group of labor-serving civilians?

Therefore, your ten major families must take on the positive role of stabilizing the people’s hearts!

Each family sends people to take charge of some of the civilians, and not only organizes them to do a good job, but also does a good job of comforting!"

When civilians gather, they are very easy to be used by people with ulterior motives. Once they are used, the troubles will be very small.

Zhang Junping had to act carefully.

"As per the order of the magistrate, the villain must send someone to organize the civil servants well and ensure that they will not cause trouble!" The head of the ten major families quickly promised.

"Forget it, relying on you alone, I guess there is no good idea!

In this way, your ten major families, together with other rich gentry families, will all send people to take charge of a team of civilians!

This official uses his spare time to organize a sumo wrestling competition for civilians!

Your respective responsible civilian team send representatives to participate in the sumo wrestling competition!

The champion can receive a reward of 100 acres of fertile land and a plowing ox. The team represented by the champion will be rewarded with 100 yuan per civilian.

The runner-up is 50 acres of fertile land, a plowing ox, and the team represented by the runner-up are rewarded with 80 yuan each!

The third place is fifty acres of fertile land, and the third place representative team will be rewarded with fifty dollars each!"

"Mr. Majesty, how to do this sumo wrestling competition?"

The ten major families were a little confused. Aren’t they talking about building reservoirs and canals to prevent civil servants from gathering to cause trouble?

Why did it suddenly turn into a sumo wrestling competition?

Although the Song Dynasty sumo wrestling competition is very popular, many big cities have sumo wrestling competition arenas.

"Thousands and thousands of people gather together, and something will happen when they are idle!

So, you can't let them be idle!

However, they must not let them rest and squeeze their labor into death!

Therefore, I organized a sumo wrestling competition for civilians!

It is to use sumo wrestling competitions to entangle their energy and prevent them from having extra energy to think about it!

Your ten major families, as well as other rich gentry families in Mouping County, are each responsible for a team of civilians!

And select representatives from the civilian team to participate in the competition!

In this way, a competitive and confrontational relationship will be formed between the various teams due to interests, and even if someone raises trouble, it will not succeed!"

After Zhang Junping explained this, the head of the ten major families immediately understood what he meant.

To put it bluntly, it is to win over differentiation.

"The magistrate is wise!"

"The magistrate is a magistrate!"

"The magistrate's move is really amazing!"

The heads of the ten major families flattered Zhang Junping one after another.

Zhang Junping laughed secretly, what is this? It was just learned from "The Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty".

"Okay, that's all for the first thing!

Let’s continue to talk about the second thing!

I want to give you a great fortune!

However, this great wealth requires a sea boat! It also requires a sea boat that can reach the ocean!

Mouping County is Linhai County, and there must be many shipbuilding craftsmen in the county!

But these shipbuilding craftsmen are okay to build some offshore fishing boats!

It’s not possible to build a sea ship that can be far away!

So, I need you to mobilize the relationship behind your family and recruit shipbuilders from other places, craftsmen who can build sea boats!"

"Is the magistrate going to sea?"

"Yes, I want to go out to sea!

There are countless wealth on the sea. Compared with the wealth on the sea, the gold and silver mines in Mouping County can only be said to be a drop in the bucket!”

"You reported to the magistrate, the magistrate, that it was not a villain who questioned the magistrate's decision. The villain lived in Mouping County for generations and had also made a living at sea!

Although the profit from going overseas is high, it is really dangerous!

Those merchants who came across the sea from the vassal states can be said to have risked their lives every time and experienced a lifetime of death before they successfully crossed the sea and came to my Song Dynasty...

Back then, my Li family also organized a trip to overseas to make huge profits!

It was organized three times in total, and each time there were ten boats going out to sea, but in the end only one boat came back!

The villain was on that boat at that time, and he saved his life..." When the head of the Li family went to sea, he still looked scared.

"I am naturally aware of the dangers of the sea!

There is a saying that there is no wind or wave in the sea!

The weather in the sea is unpredictable. It was just a sunny day, and suddenly a gust of wind blows, which will turn into a storm!

I know all this!

That's why I asked you to recruit shipbuilders to study safer sea ships that can be far away from the ocean!"

"I respect the order of the magistrate of the county magistrate. After the villain returned, he arranged for people to recruit shipbuilders and gave in and agreed.

Zhang Junping naturally realized that these people agreed very reluctantly.

I guess even if I recruit, I wouldn't be careful. In the end, I would only get a dozen or twenty shipbuilders to make up the numbers.

"hehe!

Mr. Li, Mr. Wu, Mr. Wu, I will only say one thing!

There is a Treasure Island 80 miles northwest of Fusang Island!

There is a gold mountain, several silver mountain and copper mountain on the island, with reserves greater than that of the gold and silver mines in Muping County!

The official has submitted the court to this matter and told the three Xia Shuai about this matter!

It is estimated that at this time, Xia Shuai made them have already begun to gather shipbuilders and start developing large ships that can cross the sea!
Chapter completed!
