Chapter 414: Double Happiness
Wu Sansi seemed to have already figured out the thoughts of these people.
In fact, this is also a historical unspoken rule. Most of the envoys in each county are former officials of some gentry and family members, and some children of the other families.
These people have not had a good background. Although they are far from what ordinary people want, they are one in heaven and one in the earth compared to their true direct children.
Just like Wei Hongmin, he is also from a sideline. Although he is born into a big family like the Wei family, his status is not high. He has suffered a lot when he was young and suffered some hardships. If he hadn't had a little bit of ability, he would have finally become a governor and later became favored by Queen Wei, and then he became a success. However, people like him who meet him are extremely rare.
And if most of the people here really want to say that there is endless wealth and glory, it is nonsense.
Finally, with his own ability, he finally managed to get a job in the family. How could he stop the greed in his heart?
If this river is not profitable, it is just a "government order" of the general manager to benefit the people, in fact, everyone does not expect to gain any benefits from it. However, once they learned that the general manager Qin made huge profits in this, and even as the astronomical figures were reached, everyone's minds began to move.
It is reasonable to make a fortune in the world.
What's more, Qin Shaoyou has always been generous, and pulling out a hair is enough to benefit him for life.
Nowadays, people do not regard this as a business, but rather, they are "running" as Qin Shaoyou's selfish interests.
Wu Sansi laughed and took a sip of tea before he could calm down and said: "So, this matter must be done. Don't worry, as long as you can recruit the people, the rest will be decided by Shen Ce Mansion. I won't say much, everyone can understand it. This matter cannot be delayed. Everyone will go back to the governing office and start immediately."
So the lords were tacitly conscious, and they all had their own plans, and seemed to be planning something in their hearts.
Wu Sansi said that there is no need to worry about anything else. But how can it be considered not worry about it? This is not easy to grasp. Although the conscripts are going to be levyed. Although it is winter now, spring is about to begin. According to the court's laws, the people will be employed in winter and let the people build rivers. The government only needs to be responsible for three meals. When encountering ruthless people, they will not even give you food, and bring their own dry food. However, once spring begins, this is a rush to eat with the people. Although some necessary recruitment is necessary, large-scale recruitment means that many fields will be deserted this year. If the strong men do not sow seeds in the village in the spring, what will they eat next year?
Therefore... According to the Tang Dynasty's law, if you recruit a man during the farming period, you must be responsible for allocating money and grain.
But the problem is, how much is the Shence Mansion planning to give? There is no fixed number yet, so many people refuse to leave.
Wu Sansi was too lazy to pay attention to it, so he just returned to the back hall to rest. After a while, a civil servant came to ask: "The envoys of Wu, the envoys of each county refused to leave, and they were whispering, wanting to tell the truth."
"Tell the truth? What's the truth?" Wu Sansi slowly drank tea, with a smile on his lips.
"They all said. How did this civilian pay and what price he gave? He didn't say it for a while, and he didn't dare to easily..."
"Oh..." Wu Sansi couldn't help but be angry and scolded: "These guys really don't understand the rules. Will the Shence Mansion lose their money and food? It's ridiculous, people... what kind of family is that? Let's tell them that a civilian man will have at least ten chunks of money every month. It's roughly this number. The horses in Shence Mansion are consumed in this month. Are people not as good as horses? It's really ridiculous. I asked them to devote all their efforts and focus on official duties. Don't be petty about such trivial matters, otherwise... it's a joke."
After scolding, the civil servant didn't dare to say anything anymore. He hurriedly returned to the front hall. Seeing that these people had not left, he hurriedly told Wu Sansi's words.
Someone glared at his eyes, ten thousand...
"Is this a joke? The government has always been a man who has been recruiting men, at most one month, only a few hundred dollars, plus a few dou of rice. This... is too much."
Some people feel a little guilty.
This sounds unreliable.
However, some people laughed. Everyone couldn't help but look over. It was Wang Bao, the magistrate of Yiyang County. Wang Bao stroked his beard and shook his head and said, "Many? Not many, not many, I'm afraid I don't know anything. I'm governing Yiyang, and this Yiyang and Mengjin are just separated by water. I have heard of Mengjin's wealth for a long time. You don't know. Qin Shaoyou is really rich enough to rival a country. As long as he is caught by him, even if he is fifty or one hundred, he is willing to give it to him. Now, no craftsman in Guandong doesn't know this truth. He is flocking to it. It's okay, and that... What kind of lip-syncing broker is just relying on his legs and long tongues.
It is said that saving thousands of stakes of money in a year is nothing. Speaking of which, Yiyang has suffered a lot. Since Mengjin is becoming more and more prosperous, the people of Yiyang have gradually become more and more interested. Many people have abandoned their fields and brought their families to Mengjin. They can't stop them. They don't even want their own land and have to go to Mengjin. Why is this? It's just because it's profitable and profitable, so it's like this. From this we can see that even if it's ten stakes recruiting civilians, I think it's nothing to General Qin. Don't forget that as soon as the canal opens, it's a pile of wealth. Will people be fond of it? Do they care about such a small profit with stark flies?"
Everyone didn't believe others' words at first, but they actually heard some things, but they always felt that rumors might not be taken seriously. But now, when Wang Bao, the magistrate of Yiyang County, said, everyone was sure of it.
That’s right, Qin Shaoyou is about to say that he has at least hundreds of millions of dollars a year. What can we do to make a fortune?
Everyone nodded, satisfied, and went their separate ways.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Wang Bao, the magistrate of Yiyang County, was not far from Luoyang, so he rode his horse and returned to his own residence in just half a day.
He was in a good mood. The distance between Yiyang and Mengjin was only a short distance, but the inside and outside was very different. In the past, he was also upset for a while because of this. Look at others and look at himself. People are so angry that people are more popular. It is said that any rich family in Mengjin can pick them out and stretch out their fingers to compare the wealth of the rich families in the county. If the county is poor, Wang Bao will naturally become poor. This is an eternal truth.
And this time, he finally had some hope. Some favors were leaked from his fingers, which was enough for him to make a fortune.
He hurriedly called all the assistants and officers, and asked everyone to let go of the current affairs first, and then directly announced the matter of the sect. He stretched out his finger and said proudly: "Everyone, don't remind me of the matter of sowing seeds in spring. This husband is under the jurisdiction of General Qin. After one month, all the rewards will be given to you, so you don't have to force others to do so. If you refuse to come, you don't have to come. But if you are willing to come, you have to hurry up. If you are too late, it's hard to say."
In fact, Wang Bao was just trying to be fooled. The news he received from Luoyang was that he had 10 yuan in cash, but what he reported here was that he had 6 yuan in cash. This half of the money was even more important than his "hard work". Of course, he didn't care about this interception, but what he valued was the "reward" of Shence Mansion. However, according to the rule of plucking hairs by the geese, what should be intercepted should still be intercepted, otherwise it would be difficult for other colleagues to explain, and it was rare to be confused. When the water was clear, there would be no fish.
But even if the six guan was reported, the whole county was so happy. Almost everyone could not help but shine in their eyes.
When the next day, a group of local tyrants gathered together. These were all famous families of Yiyang County Magistrates. Although they were not geniuses, most of them had their roots in many generations. They were famous figures in Yiyang County.
For a long time, from the Qin and Han Dynasties, the court seemed to take charge of everything, but in fact the real rules were far less beautiful than the laws and regulations, because in any era, the role of the government was limited, such as collecting husbands, withdrawing taxes, and educating. How could the government take charge of the government? The regime did not go to the county, which was not just the rules of the Ming and Qing dynasties. In this Tang Dynasty, there was no need to say.
So basically, the court is equivalent to a huge construction company, and the governments at all levels below are branches and branches under the jurisdiction. After the order is completed, the branches must implement it and get things done well, so they need to find contractors of all sizes. The contractors are local wealthy households and powerful people. These people are the backbone of the real implementation of government orders. Without their support, any government orders will eventually become empty text.
The news has been revealed long ago. These people are powerful, so now everyone is happy. It’s a good thing. In the past, the government has imposed taxes on behalf of the government, although there are some benefits, such as reporting some losses, such as deceiving the superiors and concealing the subordinates, they can always pluck their hair. But this time, it’s obvious that they are so fat that they can’t be as fat as they are. Once they are done, they can lie down and eat and drink this year.
