After the evil sister took over, all the best went crazy
Chapter 51: Li Zheng, the Decisive Killer
Seeing that they agreed, Baili Zheng continued:
"According to the original proposal of the government to conscript men for labor service, some families with large populations would have to send two or three people.
At this time, it is impossible for them to provide two or three hundred kilograms of food at once.
In this case, let’s make clear regulations.
If only one person is sent, either silver or food can be used.
If there are two or more people, one of them has to provide food and cannot escape, and the rest of them must either use silver or winter clothes, quilts or food as collateral.
Winter clothes are not limited to men or women, as long as they can keep adults warm. Winter quilts must be no less than four kilograms. "
At this point, he was afraid that someone would take advantage of this, so he added:
“Of course, this winter coat cannot be too thin for early winter, nor can it be so torn that it cannot be worn.
It cannot be filled with reeds, straw or other materials. It must be filled with cotton or processed chicken, duck or goose feathers.
As for the wealthy businessmen, they have many people in their houses, and every year they would buy winter clothes for their servants to keep warm.
Winter quilts are also replaced every few years.
Let them donate the things they exchanged.
As long as these problems are solved, the victims will no longer have a problem finding a place to live when they perform labor service.
I have already drawn a kang here as a place for them to live. It will be built the same way as before.
When the time comes, I will pay for it myself and have someone make a big kang (a bunk bed) for me inside.
As a result, after the victims of the disaster had left, adult men and women went to dig canals and build dams.
All the young children and the elderly had to chop firewood to heat the kang.
Of course, special circumstances require special treatment.
There is no need to force people who have mobility problems, are sick, or are pregnant to do these things.
When the time comes, let the doctor diagnose and confirm that this is indeed their situation, then let them stay and cook for everyone.
If you can't even do these, look at the exact number of people and find another place to accommodate them.
However, in this case, except for pregnant women, the rest of the people cannot compare with those who participate in the labor in terms of food and warmth. "
Lin County Wei felt that this was quite good, at least it was much better than the time when ordinary people had to perform corvee labor in previous years.
Then he asked, "My Lord, what if there are people with healthy hands and feet who are unwilling to perform labor service on behalf of the people?"
There are people like this, and I guess there are quite a few.
After all, in everyone's inherent impression, performing corvée labor is a life-threatening matter.
They stayed here, without having to do anything, and could barely make ends meet every day.
When all the disaster victims left, they could go to other villages to beg, and maybe they could survive...
Upon hearing this, Baili Zheng said without a second thought, "Drive them out of Lanxia County. As long as they don't stay here, they can go wherever they want.
Right now, Funing Prefecture and Qing'an Prefecture have been hit by the disaster, and it has been raining continuously. The temperature has dropped sharply there, and it is said that freezing rain has already begun.
Affected by that side, the pressure on Muyang Mansion increased dramatically.
Now the disaster victims are rushing here one after another, and the pressure on each county in Muyang Prefecture is not small.
Not to mention anything else, from this morning till now, thousands of disaster victims have gathered outside our county town, and more are coming in.
I predict that it will reach a peak tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, by which time the number of disaster victims will add up to 7,000 to 8,000 or even tens of thousands.
At this time we can accept that these people are good, but they have to obey the arrangements.
For those who are restless and lazy, the only option is to expel them.
By then, whether those people are alive or dead will have nothing to do with us.
The remaining victims who obey the arrangements need someone to manage them.
You can ask if there is anyone there who can read, or has any official title, and who was the head of the village before.
Find these people, select those with good character, divide them into good people, and let them manage.
You guys can discuss how to divide it by yourselves, I won’t interfere.”
What Baili Zheng said, combined with Su Rongrong's idea, is actually very complete.
Even Lord Wang, who doesn't want to be in charge, has to take charge at this time.
As long as the new county magistrate arrives, he cannot leave his post and must do his job well.
He could delay before, but now that there is a solution, he can't delay any longer.
Otherwise, he was afraid that Baili Zheng would be dissatisfied with him. Not only would he not be able to take up his post in the provincial capital, he would also report to the court and accuse him of failing to govern properly.
Not only will he lose his job, but he might even lose his life!
Instead of doing this, it would be better to work harder these days and try to arrange these things before leaving, so as to leave a good impression on Baili Chen and Baili Zheng.
After all, he was able to climb up the ladder by relying on others! !
Baili Zheng didn't care what the people present thought. After he finished speaking, he saw that everyone was about to leave and added:
“In recent days, prices in the county have risen a bit outrageously.
Our Daque Dynasty has clear regulations prohibiting merchants from making money from national disasters.
I think you all know what to do.
If necessary, I don't mind killing someone to scare the monkeys!"
Even if the people present did not own the shops in the county town, they were all more or less related to them.
You know, they receive a lot of filial tributes every year.
It is unacceptable to just take the money and not do the job.
Not to mention, they have their own in those shops.
It is just registered under the name of the dowry of a loyal servant or daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law.
Of course, they would not doubt Baili Zheng's words.
He was born in the Duke's Mansion. Although the Duke was his grandfather, he was the Crown Prince, bypassing his father and becoming the Crown Prince. This explains something.
What's more, the Duke himself is the God of War of the Daque Dynasty. Even the incoming county magistrate Baili Chen was once a famous killing god on the battlefield.
These generals kept their words and would directly chop down those who disobeyed their orders.
Therefore, they should not gamble with their lives and just follow orders...
I have to say that these people are very efficient as long as they really take action.
After Baili Zheng left, they quickly discussed everything.
That evening, Magistrate Wang, the county magistrate, the county assistant chief clerk and others gathered together all the wealthy businessmen and farmers in the county and even in their jurisdiction for a secret talk.
Those wealthy businessmen and farmers looked unhappy when they left, but the faces of several adults showed unprecedented relief.
Afterwards, County Magistrate Lin led Master Yang to negotiate and make arrangements with the victims for three hours.
After everything was settled, the next morning, the people in the county were informed by the yamen runners beating drums and gongs.
As for the towns and villages below, yamen runners and constables were sent to notify them.
These notices were based on Su Rongrong's proposal and combined with what Baili Zheng said.
Tao Ya, who was going to the county town with her family to help transport grain, jumped up on the spot when she heard the news when she was almost there.
“That’s great, that’s really great.
Mom, grandpa and grandma, you know, this solution was first proposed by Rongrong. "
