Compared with Gaoling Village, Tongjiang Village is even more remote. There are few immigrant resettlement villages around, only two or three.

Moreover, the scale is between thirty or fifty households, and one hundred households is a large village. Overall, the scale is not large! The number of tribes is more than that of Gaoling Village. Some of them have already surrendered to the Ming Kingdom and will regularly go to exchange goods needed by the tribe with Jiangcun. Some hide in the mountains and are unknown, so their attitude towards the Ming Kingdom is not good or bad.

When Niu Dabao led the workers from Gaoling Village to Tongjiang Village, many rafts had already been docked on the river bank. Fortunately, the local governments in Huzhou had already prepared some things, so although there were many rafts, they didn't wait long and could dock one after another.

In addition, many simple tree houses with branches as roofs were built. The place was not big, but the number was very large. Many people came in and out of the tree houses, and many people like Niu Dabao and others had just received the digital cards belonging to their bookstores and were looking for places one by one.

Because there were many people coming, the market had been automatically set up outside the village. It was a simple venue surrounded by wooden stakes. Among the people who came, not only were the people of the Ming Dynasty, but also many nearby tribes.

The business-minded Shan Jiecha immediately took the commercial goods to the court. Because there were too many people coming and there were not enough stalls, a batch of stalls were added outside the railings. Shan Jiecha paid a stall fee of 2 copper yuan and immediately rushed to put out the goods he brought.

Some merchants who came a little later than him had to give up their plans to sell because they really had no place. However, they did not return empty-handed and were still wandering around the venue, purchasing many mountain goods sold by tribes, which was worth the trip.

Orze was lively and before he could settle down, he ran to the court to take a look. He looked around and looked around. Although there was no piece of Mongol in his pocket, it was great to join in the fun.

Compared with the noisy here, the village chiefs, including Niu Dabao, gathered in the school grounds that the village usually uses for training. The village chief of Tongjiang Village, Hadan Batel, was responsible for the construction of Tongjiang Official Road this time. He also knew from the name that the other party was a Mongolian.

In fact, in general, in more remote immigrant villages like this, the government prefers to arrange Mongolians and Han people.

And they mostly retired from the army!

The proportion of Mongols in the army has always been very high, and it was not until the Liaodong land was taken down by the Ming Dynasty that it was diluted a lot. However, almost all those who started with Ulutus in the early years were Mongolians, so most of the officers of the army of rank were Mongolians.

Hadanbatel was a centurion in the army. He joined the army late. It was after the Ming Dynasty entered Liaodong and fled from the Khan Court. It was also because he heard about the good days of eating and clothing in Eastern Mongolia that he wanted to escape.

Fortunately, the princess of the Khan Court was still in the south at that time, so the control on the border was not strict. He took Nayan's cattle and sheep away with his family. At the border, he was lucky to meet the patrolling Eastern Mongolian cavalry.

So the family successfully entered the territory of Eastern Mongolia and quickly took root.

Because of his jealousy, he signed up to join the army without hesitation. However, as he was older, he always ranked at the bottom in the training class for the literacy class, so he only participated in the First Battle of Goryeo and was retired.

Fortunately, he had military achievements on the battlefield and became a ten-household chief. When he retired, he added another level and became a centurion. He was the most qualified person among the immigrant villages of Tunhe. This time, the road construction job was the one that came to supervise.

Of course, this does not mean that he can cover the sky with one hand.

Gulan

The road construction route map was drawn up by the county town, and he only needed to follow him. He did not take care of the money and grain, but brought it to each village as required, and the clerk assigned by the city was included in the warehouse. The daily expenses must be registered.

He can inspect accounts, but cannot interfere in specific matters.

Therefore, his main responsibility is to complete the task of building roads within the specified time according to the construction period.

Seeing the village chiefs waiting for him to speak at this moment, Hardan Batel was extremely satisfied. After all, vanity is a common problem for people, but there is only a difference between strength and weakness.

"If you can gather here, you will be brothers in the future. I, Batel, have nothing else to say, just do my best to do my job and strive to complete the government's responsibilities before the first snow fall. If it is done well, the government is satisfied, and we will do it comfortably. If it is not done well, then we will face the government's criticism together." Hadan Batel said the ugly words first, and the village chiefs listened, and their faces were a little heavy.

The construction period is quite fast, and it is not done well. Although it will not be beheaded, the resettlement and taxation of each village will be tightened in the next year. Receiving new immigrants, expanding the land reclamation area, and increasing grain output is another virtuous cycle.

If it is shorter, it may be compared by other villages.

This is related to the merit evaluation of every village chief, and they have no choice but to worry about it.

After saying the ugly words, Hadanbatel also gave a sweet date and said, "This official road has been repaired, and the government will set up a town in our land. Everyone thinks about the benefits."

Unlike villages, the town will not only have a larger planning and receive more immigrants, but also receive resources from the government and loans from Mongolian banks to upgrade the town's infrastructure construction.

At the same time, you can also recruit merchants to build workshops, shops, etc., and the tax will be collected in the future. The government will give special preferential treatment to towns that are remote and inconvenient to transportation. Not only will the commercial tax be exempted from all the above five years, but it will also provide certain support.

Although commercial tax cannot be levied in the town, the benefits brought by commerce are more. For example, selling land and selling houses are all big benefits.

This is a great thing for every village to break the head and fight.

Niu Dabao also hopes that Gaoling Village can be upgraded to a town, so that the lives of the people in the village will be better in the future. In terms of grades, the village chief and the town mayor are also different, which means he has been promoted.

Retiring from the army is his eternal regret. If he can recover from the promotion system of civil servants, it will be considered to make up for the shortcomings.

So the village chiefs' faces became excited again, and they all promised to do their best to complete the task.

After explaining some trivial matters, Hadanbatel asked everyone to stay for a meal together. This was a meal ordered by the road-building clerk to welcome the arrival of all villagers. Naturally, the amount of meat is large and the amount of coarse grains is enough.
