On the streets of Tongyang City, Zhang Zhi took out his wallet and poured out the last of his money.
This is what's left of the family, and he, who was originally a carpenter, can't find a job at all. After all, this city has been abandoned. The only ones left behind are the old, weak, women and children. Those who can't leave here, and those who can walk a little have left.
.
Passing by the gate of the government office, I saw a government servant walking out of it. That servant was his brother-in-law. Yesterday he said he would come to resign today. From the look of him, he should be leaving the government office.
"Li Ping, come to my house for dinner at noon!" Zhang Zhi suppressed the sadness on his face and greeted Capt. Li as if nothing was wrong.
Capt. Li waved his hands and said with a smile: "No, brother-in-law, I am in charge of more than a dozen people now, and I have a lot of things in my hands. I can't leave."
"Didn't you say you quit?" Zhang Zhi was surprised.
"Shh!" Li Ping looked around with a panic expression, "Don't let anyone hear you. If Madam finds out, my job will not be saved."
"lady……"
"Anyway, brother-in-law, I won't leave now." Mr. Li lowered his voice and said, "Not only did I get my monthly silver, but I also got it five times as much as before. This will be the same for my monthly silver in the future. You say so
Where else can I find good jobs? Of course I will stay here. Brother-in-law, are your eldest and second son old enough? There have been no other good jobs recently. If you can trust me, get them both under my control.
Dry."
"Five times? Are you kidding?" Zhang Zhi was shocked.
"What is our relationship? Can we joke about this kind of thing? To be honest, I plan to go back and tell the old lady at home that I will get my second son to do some errands. I will work with her from now on. I will definitely make a fortune."
Tongyang City is a remote place with little information. In addition, Tongyang City was previously controlled by Zhou Pengfei's party and had almost no contact with the outside world, so they knew very little about the outside world.
Capt. Li also learned from the men brought by 'Madam' that Madam was actually the most wealthy businesswoman in the world. Now this place has become Madam's fiefdom, with the intention of developing it.
After hearing such news, Capt. Li was glad that he did not leave immediately, otherwise he would have missed a good opportunity to make a fortune.
"Now the government office is short of office workers, and there are not many strong laborers left in the city. Madam, you want me to recruit as many more people as possible. Yue Yin is indispensable."
Zhang Zhi was still dazed when he saw Capt. Li posting the notice on the bulletin board.
"Tax-free?" Zhang Zhi read the words above and was shocked again.
Li Captou was startled by Zhang Zhi's sharp voice, and said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, why are you so surprised today? That's right, my wife said that as long as you register in Tongyang City, you will be tax-free for three years.
People are exempted from agricultural tax, businessmen are exempted from commercial tax, and all other taxes are exempted. Not only that, now people who live in Tongyang City are allocated on a per capita basis. Even a newborn child is counted as a quota, and each person is allocated an acre of land.
.”
"Then there are eight people in my family..."
"That's eight acres of land."
"The land is allocated for free and tax-free, so why should we go?" Zhang Zhi said excitedly, "I will go back now to tell your sister the good news."
"Wait a minute, brother-in-law." Li Captou took out a silver ingot from his arms, "I know you spent a lot of money on treating my sister. This is lent to you. I will pay it back when you get rich."
.”
"Li Ping, that lady really gave you five times the money?" Zhang Zhi was hesitant at first, but now he completely believes it.
"Brother-in-law, when did I lie to you?"
As soon as the announcement was posted, the remaining people who had not left were shocked.
Such important news flew to every corner of Tongyang City as if it had wings, and the people who had been waiting for death regained their vitality and were full of expectations for the future.
"Hey, the news is good news, but my family really doesn't even have the money to buy grain seeds."
"I heard a news that someone will be doing statistics and registration in the next few days. Based on the headcount, everyone can be allocated a part of the land. As for the grain seeds, it is said that they can be borrowed from the government until the grain is harvested.
Then we will charge them uniformly, without charging interest, and we will pay them back as much as they lend us."
"real?"
"I heard that's the case."
"If this is the case, then the new lord is really a good official who will benefit all officials!"
The 'good official' who benefited the people finally sorted out the mess left by the people in front of him and knew how bad the situation in Tongyang City was. Her current policy is to keep people first, and then use their names to let them go.
More landless people are coming here to create value.
Qi Xiao took his men to the Pingyuan Military Region ten miles away.
The people sent by Mu Siyu came back to report the situation.
"Those 20,000 people have become a cancer here. When Mr. Qi went there, the 20,000 people refused to obey the discipline and actually wanted to do harm to him. Mr. Qi ordered his men to kill a few leaders. Those people screamed fiercely.
In fact, they were all a group of timid and fearful people, and they soon became a mess. Mr. Qi took out another booklet, which recorded everyone's situation. Those who had never done evil were left behind. Those who had done evil were left behind.
…”
Mu Siyu glanced at Lu Zhiyun next to her.
Lu Zhiyun said: "I'm not that timid. Just say it and pretend I'm not here."
Li Guyuan said: "If you want to control the situation quickly, you have to be ruthless. I think Mr. Qi will keep those who have not harmed people's lives or raped women. If you violate his taboo, you will definitely die."
Although Qi Xiao has a task in his hands, those scum with low morals are not qualified to become Qi Xiao's subordinates.
Mu Siyu could already imagine that Qi Xiao was going to kill him this time. After all, those people were led astray by Zhou Pengfei. After Zhou Pengfei left, those people thought that Tongyang City belonged to them, and they did countless bad things.
"Madam, Mr. Qi also wrote a letter to Madam."
Li Guyuan took it and brought it to Mu Siyu.
Mu Siyu looked at it and said angrily: "I just took over the mess here, but he is so kind, and he asked me for military pay. What happened? When did I become a treasury?"
"Master Qi said that my wife is richer than the national treasury."
Li Guyuan said: "Master can give him military support, but he cannot give it in vain. Although the land now is enough, more people will definitely stay in the future, and it will not be enough by then. Master will let Master Qi give it to him."
When soldiers go to open up wasteland, one acre is worth one tael of silver."
Lu Zhiyun laughed: "This is a good idea. Mother, you didn't find yourself an apprentice, you just found yourself a strategist!"
Mu Siyu also thinks this idea is a good one.
She looked at the map and found that there were still many wastelands in Tongyang City. Those places could be used, but no one mined them, making them lose their value.
