I have been a county magistrate for ten years. My subordinates insist on giving me a yellow robe.
Chapter 16: Unprecedented Reform
The next morning.
Jiang Yuan woke up at the table as usual, and Wang Gang brought a basin of water for Jiang Yuan to wash his face as usual.
When Jiang Yuan bent down, he was stunned by his reflection on the water.
He has sharp eyebrows and bright eyes.
"Oh my god! He looks exactly like me on Earth. He's unreasonably handsome, so handsome he's inhumanly handsome!"
The only difference from his previous life is that Jiang Yuan's face now has a more bookish air, giving people a harmless feeling at first glance.
Li Hu, who was drinking porridge from a bowl, raised his eyelids to take a look, then continued to drink the porridge silently.
He is a scumbag, a mere beast!
After breakfast, Jiang Yuan walked out of the county government office carelessly.
The streets outside have been almost cleared. The sun is shining brightly today, and if things continue like this, the roof of the house should be completed by tomorrow.
Most of the people who had been busy for a few days were basking in the sun at the doorway. When they saw Jiang Yuan coming out, they unconsciously gathered around him.
"Master! The great master!"
The eyes of the common people were filled with tears. They could have what they have today, all thanks to Jiang Yuan.
"Everyone get up." Jiang Yuan waved his hand and then looked at the vast farmland outside the city.
"Today I have a big announcement to make!"
"Since Taiping County has a small population now, many people have abandoned their farmland to flee. The land cannot be left uncultivated. Therefore, I will rewrite the land deeds today, and everyone in Taiping County will have a share!"
After saying this, the whole place was silent.
Li Hu and Ma Zhi's eyes widened.
These lands all have names and surnames, and those people who fled would take the land deeds with them even if they left with nothing else.
Jiang Yuan has divided it now. What will happen when the people return in the future?
But Jiang Yuan had already thought about this. If you don’t accompany me when I’m down, who will you be when I make a comeback?
I will directly recompile the household registration. Then what evidence will you have to prove that you are from Taiping County?
What? You want to take the land deeds and household registration from the previous dynasty? Sorry, the Qing Dynasty died long ago, and I don’t recognize them!
"My Lord! My Lord!"
Cries of surprise came from the mouths of the people. Although there were only more than 300 people, they shouted with the momentum of 3,000 people.
After the noise calmed down, Jiang Yuan waved his hand and immediately asked Ma Zhi to start counting the population information present.
"Sir, if that's true, then those who have fled back will be very anxious. What if they appeal to the provincial government?" Li Hu asked worriedly.
Jiang Yuan waved his hand nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of? When the time comes, we'll just dig up the road out of the mountain and blow up the bridge. I don't believe these unruly people will be able to get through."
"By then, this county magistrate can come up with a compromise solution that will be enough to resolve the situation."
Li Hu was still worried: "May I ask, sir, what is the solution?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll talk about it later." Jiang Yuan walked into the lobby and began to write.
"With a boss like this, there's no need to worry about not seeing the end of my life. I can see the end at a glance." Li Hu shook his head with a wry smile.
He seemed to have already seen the scene of the people's uproar at that time.
In a trance, I felt as if I was on the guillotine, and the executioner looked at me with a sneer.
Li Hu shuddered violently and slapped himself hard in the face.
If someone wants to kill someone, he should chop off the county magistrate's head. How the hell did I get involved in that?
"Li Hu! Come here! The life and death of our Taiping County depends entirely on you!"
Jiang Yuan, who had been busy for half a day, shouted Li Hu's name loudly.
"Sir, what's the matter?" Li Hu groaned weakly.
Whenever Jiang Yuan called him these days, it was always bad news. It would either mean a minimum sentence of ten years or exile. He was really scared now.
"Can't you be more cheerful!" Jiang Yuan said unhappily.
"Hurry up and post these notices in any county within a 500-mile radius."
Li Hu leaned over to take a look, and his mind was immediately filled with questions. There were a few big words written on Jiang Yuan’s so-called notice.
"Come and divide the land!"
On each side were two words written in red ink: "Breaking News!"
In the middle, the current situation of Taiping County is roughly described in regular script.
In general, it implies one thing: as long as you dare to come, Taiping County will give you a piece of land!
In order to prevent someone from being illiterate, Jiang Yuan also specially drew a picture below.
A little man is standing in front of a city with three big characters "Taiping County" written on it. Next to the little man is a field in the shape of a field, and there is an arrow pointing to the little man with two bold characters on it.
Free gift!
"What does this mean, sir?" Li Hu asked in confusion.
It would be fine to give it away for free to the people in Taiping County, but why give it to outsiders?
"Oh, you, the pattern, the pattern is open."
"Think about it, those who need our little piece of land aren't all poor people. Now that they have land here, they can't travel hundreds of miles every day to work here. They must move here with their families."
"By then, we'll have a population, and with a population, we'll be able to collect taxes. Then, won't the days of great wealth and prosperity be far behind?"
"Also, take a few people with you. After you post the notices, have them make announcements. When you reach a city, stop and leave one person behind. Have that person wait in the city for three days, and then return with anyone who's willing to come."
"Sir, this is not a good idea. What if the local officials don't allow it and we beat people?" Li Hu said cautiously.
Jiang Yuan rolled his eyes. "You know shit! These poor people would be a burden in other counties, dragging down the entire county's economy. I brought them here, and the local magistrate isn't grateful to me, but he actually hits people?"
"But if we do this, a lot of ruffians might sneak in, and then our Taiping County will be in chaos, right?" Li Hu said with a frown.
Jiang Yuan patted Li Hu's shoulder in annoyance and said, "Brother, it's already this late. We are almost out of people in Taiping County."
"You expect these three hundred or so people to rebuild the entire Taiping County? That's a long time coming. Don't worry about whether they're die-hard fans or just haters. As long as they can lay eggs, they're a good one."
"Hmm???" Li Hu looked at Jiang Yuan in confusion. What was Xiao Heizi? What was "Zi Yin"?
"Go, go, go quickly." Jiang Yuan urged repeatedly.
Li Hu had no choice but to take the notice written by Jiang Yuan and walk out of the county government office.
Jiang Yuan looked at the remaining ink and brush, and wrote four big words on the paper again.
Honest and upright!
"Yes, yes, it really suits my character."
Just as Jiang Yuan finished speaking, a ball of paper rolled over from under his feet.
"Huh?" Jiang Yuan looked around in confusion, but there was no one in sight.
"Littering is such a lack of public morality!" Jiang Yuan said as he picked up the paper ball. Unexpectedly, the paper ball was extremely heavy, and there seemed to be something wrapped in the middle.
Puzzled, Jiang Yuan unfolded the note, which contained a round token with a sentence written on it.
"You who sell out your master for fame and fortune, I will chop off your head one day!"
