"I am an official of Jingxian County. Whenever I think about the bandits in the territory and the miserable life of the people, I feel extremely sad." Zhu Hansan said heartbrokenly.
"In this bet, Mr. Zhu, you have at least collected 10,000 acres of the Han family's fields. As long as you distribute all these fields to the people, how can you live in poverty?"
Yan Liang just wanted to embarrass Zhu Hansan in front of others, so he emphasized the words "ten thousand acres".
"Wow, my master actually won the Han family's 10,000 acres of land?"
"With so much land, how many people can grow enough food to eat? Let me do the math... Oops, I feel dizzy..."
"Yes, if Master Zhu allocates all this land to the people, then the people in our county will live a good life!"
"Hey, do you think Mr. Zhu will divide the land? It's fine if one family can allocate one acre."
…
As soon as Yan Liang finished speaking, the guards behind Zhu Hansan began to whisper to each other. They all believed that Zhu Hansan would give land to the people.
"Looking at what you said, those lands were won by my family, why should they be distributed to..."
Guan Hai was not angry and said angrily, but before he finished speaking, Zhu Hansan quickly stopped him and signaled him with his eyes to stop talking nonsense.
The other guards were also stunned by Guan Hai's words. Everyone looked at Zhu Hansan and waited for his explanation. These people were all clean rural children. They came out to ask for help because their families were poor.
Eat by mouth.
After hearing Yan Liang's words, they were originally grateful to Zhu Hansan, but now after hearing Guan Hai's words, they will inevitably feel resentful and jealous. After all, they have not been with Zhu Hansan for a long time, and they have some feelings, but
It's not to the point of being loyal. If Zhu Hansan handles this matter improperly, these guards will have other thoughts.
How could Zhu Hansan, a man of two generations, fail to see the thoughts of these guards, but he did not blame anyone, and thought that such thoughts were a good thing, but he just glared at Guan Hai with some complaints about which pot he did not open and which pot he did not lift.
After taking a look, he smiled at Yan Liang and said: "Brother Yan Liang, I have thought about what I said, but brother Yan Liang, have you ever thought about how many people in our county have no land!"
"I dare not say everything, but at least half of the people do not have land in their hands. Jing County is a large county, and this majority of the people alone represent at least a population of 40,000 to 50,000;"
"I only have 10,000 acres of land in my hands. Even if one acre is allocated to one person, it will be a drop in the bucket, and it is difficult to stop Youyou. Moreover, even if I divide the land equally, each household will not be able to get what they want.
The land we have is also pitiful. How much food can we produce this year? Excluding taxes, is it enough to support their family for a year?"
"Besides, there are many people with many hands, and every household will be busy working on their own little land for a year, and they will be hungry in the end. Some people will even sell their land and become tenant farmers of aristocratic families. Instead of
In that case, it is better not to divide."
"Master Zhu, you keep thinking about the people and vow to work for the welfare of the people and prevent them from starving. Are these all just tricks to fool people?"
Yan Liang is a bit fond of chasing dragons and phoenixes, but it does not mean that he has no conscience. He was born in poverty. If he hadn't become a disciple of a famous teacher by chance and learned his skills by chance, he would be like those poor people who have been living on the ground all year round.
Eat inside.
Therefore, he was very disgusted with Zhu Hansan's perfunctory words, and immediately classified Zhu Hansan as one of those corrupt officials.
"I only believe in doing my job in my position. Since I am an official in Jingxian County, I will take the development of Jingxian County and the lives of the people at heart, and try my best to improve the living conditions of the people and improve Jingxian County.
The prosperity of Jingxian County and the stability of public security in Jingxian County are all complementary to each other. If any one of them goes wrong, the people of Jingxian County will not have a good life."
Zhu Hansan was very angry. He wanted to be greedy, but there was no need to be greedy. In his opinion, as long as he worked hard and made steady progress, he would make a lot of money in the future. Not only that, his industry would develop.
It can also drive the economy of Jingxian County in a disguised way. As long as the general environment is relatively stable, gradually and gradually, the quality of life of the people will naturally improve. In his opinion, there is really no need to be a blood-sucking insect.
"Who doesn't know how to say nice things? Everyone understands the truth, but how many people can actually do it? In the end, it's better to just walk away after getting some benefits. After all, it is the common people who suffer."
At this time, Yan Liang had only been in the world for a few years, and his character was like a young man's hatred of evil. He couldn't bear to see injustice in the world and couldn't bear to see the people being bullied.
"Then I would like to ask, since I took office, have I ever done anything to upset the people? Have I made things difficult for the people? Have I extended my hand to the people?"
Zhu Hansan said angrily: "I tell you, Yan Liang, not only did I not feel sorry for the people or extend my hand to the people, but the property under my name also never did such an unscrupulous thing. Not only did I not, Chenxiang Pavilion
There is also a rule that as long as rural people buy furniture, they will have a lifetime warranty and free maintenance. Do you know what this means? It means that as long as rural people buy a set of furniture in Chenxiang Pavilion, the official will be responsible for that person’s lifetime.
Good furniture will be available, a promise that will not end until the day he dies;"
"Even for the people in the city, because their living conditions are much better than those in the countryside, I only promise a ten-year warranty and free maintenance within one year. Although it is only these, how much manpower and material resources will I have to spend? You
Have you ever thought about it?"
"I don't say those big words, and I don't like to say them. Not to mention that you think they are useless, and I think they are meaningless. I only care about the present, how capable I am, and how much I can do. In the past few months, Chenxiang Pavilion
A total of more than 300 workers have been recruited, which means that more than 300 families have income, so they can naturally make a living;"
"My yamen has successively recruited hundreds of subordinate officials, and the county soldiers have recruited 300 people. This auction house also has more than ten shopkeepers. How long has it been since I came to Jing County to take office? It has only been two and a half months, but so far
So far, I have solved the job problem of seven to eight hundred people. Only with jobs can there be income. With income, life will be stable and society will be stable. Only when society stabilizes can local development be carried out one after another.
Only other businesses can provide more people with income."
"As you said, I won 10,000 acres of land from the Han family this time. Starting from tomorrow, I will plan these lands. The terrain of Jingxian County is flat, and with the aid of livestock and farm tools, 10,000 acres of land will not be more than 10,000 acres.
It only requires a thousand people to cultivate it. This is still under the condition that the official is fully prepared. Only unified operation, unified production, and unified deployment can maximize the output of these 10,000 acres of land. Land that can be cultivated by a thousand people.
, why should tens of thousands of people work together to farm? Isn't this a waste of labor? I will not do such stupid things. In my opinion, every labor force in Jingxian County is extremely precious. In this era of great development, it cannot be tolerated.
Nothing wasted."
"Like you said, if these lands are distributed equally to the people, then everyone will only take care of their own families, because people are not only divided into men, women, old and young, but also industrious and lazy. After a year, the output will be different.
, it is still difficult to maintain the food and clothing of the people."
"Still don't understand? Then let me calculate it for you. Adults consume two kilograms a day, which is 770 kilograms a year. Even if they only eat one kilogram a day, it will take more than three hundred kilograms of food to ensure that
If a person does not starve to death within a year, do you know the concept of more than 700 kilograms?"
"The yield of paddy fields in the south is higher than that in the north. One acre of land in the south can produce about 200 to 300 catties, while one acre of land in the north can only produce 100 to 200 catties. Moreover, it is unprocessed millet, and even less after shelling. Calculate this way
If we come down here, it would take almost four acres of land to feed one person in the north, and do you know how many people there are in Jingxian County?"
"There are more than 9,000 households with a population of more than 70,000. Throwing out those children of aristocratic families and working people, there are still about 40,000 to 50,000 people in Jing County who are living on the verge of death without enough food to eat. I am not
It's alarmist, but do you know how much land is needed to stop these 40,000 to 50,000 people from going hungry? 160,000 acres, or 200,000 acres?"
"In addition to taxes and other miscellaneous necessary expenses, it takes at least six acres of land to support one person, so we need 300,000 acres of land. Tell me, where can we get so much land?"
Yan Liang was stunned when he heard Zhu Hansan's violent bombardment. Originally, he thought Zhu Hansan would be like the others, but now it seems that Zhu Hansan has done a lot of work for the county.
"Even if the government arranges farming, sir, it will be difficult for you to feed the 40,000 to 50,000 people in Jing County with these 10,000 acres of land!"
Yan Liang hesitated and defended.
"Yes, I know there will still be people who are hungry, but there is no way. You can't do anything too hastily. I might as well reveal some of my ideas to you. I want to achieve the goal within the next year that no one will starve to death in Jingxian County.
According to the wish, a small number of people will be full within two years, and most people will be full within three years.”
Zhu Hansan made no secret of his ambitions and revealed them to Yan Liang.
"Aren't there still a few people who are hungry?"
Yan Liang said in confusion.
"I will gradually provide jobs to the people. I am not a saint. Now that there are jobs and income, if there are still people who are hungry after three years, it means that that person is too lazy. I am lazy.
It doesn’t know how to cure it.”
Zhu Hansan joked to Yan Liang.
In fact, he still has some words that he has not said. The tasks of some positions are not tedious and are relatively simple, which means low income. However, Zhu Hansan will work hard to control the price balance and ensure that low-income people can also have a full meal.
"Haha, sir, you are joking!"
Yan Liang is still in the stage of a passionate young man, so Zhu Hansan's words will naturally attract his yearning.
"That's all I can say. Instead of talking more, it's better to actually do it. The future of Jingxian County depends on the help of all the talented people. Here, I sincerely invite Brother Yan Liang to join us. As long as we try our best
Even if the future of Jingxian County is not as good as we imagined, we can still pat our chests and say, I have a clear conscience!"
Zhu Hansan looked at Yan Liang and said sincerely.
