Chapter 43: In the county government, Miss Yang faked her death
This beam was carefully selected by Ma Feng. Jiang Yang took a closer look and realized that only three or five people could wrap around this beam.
Judging from the age of the tree, I guess it is not young.
As the beam was pulled up step by step and placed tightly at the top, at the same time, firecrackers were blasting and gongs and drums were noisy.
Everyone is celebrating.
According to the custom, we should entertain guests from all over the world and show the friendship of the landlord. However, the current conditions are difficult and construction is going on nearby. Everyone understands.
Jiang Yang looked at the people gathered around and shouted loudly: "For extra lunch, tell the kitchen to fill it with meat!"
"We have meat to eat again. The county magistrate has been so kind to us."
"Yeah, the food here is better than what I had during the Chinese New Year. I'm adding extra food today."
"Master Qingtian, you are the official of your parents."
"Your Excellency, the County Magistrate is so kind. We are truly lucky to meet the County Magistrate."
Jiang Yang waved his hand, found a slightly higher place, looked at the people swarming in, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be like this, everyone in this new rural area has worked hard! They have worked harder than me."
"But as you can see, this house has different constructions, so we can't all live in it at the same time."
"I also want everyone to understand this. We will give priority to a group of people and continue to live in the building later. I use my black hat to guarantee that all people who want to live here will definitely be allocated a room."
"I feel very guilty about this."
When the people heard this, they waved their hands one after another.
"We can see what the magistrate is doing, and we believe everything you say."
"Yes, I have been waiting for more than ten years. Can I still wait for just more than a month?"
"It doesn't matter to me. Although we have a family to support, we can persevere. We can accommodate those in need first. It doesn't matter if we stay later."
"Yes, we can do it. The magistrate doesn't have to feel guilty."
Jiang Yang nodded. It seemed that his hard work was correct and the people trusted him very much.
So he continued: "And I also promise you that after everything is completed! Every household will be assigned a field, and a family will be assigned at least two acres of land!"
"Twenty acres of land per family? That's so much?"
"Oh my god, are you coming here like this?"
"Yes, I heard about land allocation before, but I don't know how much. It's twenty acres of land. I will have no worries for the rest of my life."
"What is this? Twenty acres of land! Oh my God."
This was not over yet Jiang Yang continued in public: "And from now on, as long as I, the county magistrate, can stay in Xiami County for one day, future taxes will not be based on head, but only on land! The harvest from the land will be 30%! Only 30%!
"
At this moment, the people surrounding here didn't know what to say.
As a parent official, you should act like this and be worthy of the word "parent". You should always keep the people in mind and let the people eat and drink well. This is a good official.
"If you don't want to farm, it doesn't matter. When the time comes, there will be a liquor workshop nearby, requiring thousands of people to work. Then you can go too, and each of you will get two taels of silver per month!"
Jiang Yang's words once again caused a commotion. When he went to work, he actually had two taels of silver, which was twenty-four taels a year. This was more profitable than farming.
In Jiangyang's plan, other factories and other industries will be introduced in the later stage to make the industry in Xiami County comprehensive and comprehensive!
By then, let alone 20,000 people, whether more than 100,000 people will be enough is another matter.
Population, population, population, Jiang Yang's vision suddenly froze, he forgot a profession that has long existed in our country, teething...
The so-called tooth shop is a business of human trafficking, but in ancient times it was not as serious as it is now. In ancient times, people often sold themselves into contracts. This kind of life and death is not up to you... You think so.
Looks like I need to contact someone from the dental clinic.
After retracting his thoughts, Jiang Yang gave a generous speech in front of the people.
Then let them continue working, and eat well after a hard work.
Seeing the sun shining high and the chill no longer so strong, Jiang Yang returned to the county government office with satisfaction after walking around for a while.
(Old county government.).
There are still some arrangements here today. In addition to the normal delivery of drinks, Yang Xinjun has also been arranged to fake his death.
As soon as I returned to the county government office, I heard several bells ringing from inside, followed immediately by mourners shouting.
After a while, the news of the former county magistrate's concubine's unfortunate death spread all over the streets because she became ill due to overwork.
Many people also remembered the kindness of the former county magistrate and came to express their condolences. Some people were tortured by the former magistrate and they certainly wished that he would die.
Jiang Yang was also surprised. Although people are a collection of contradictions, the former county magistrate was too contradictory. On the one hand, he had such a grand plan and wanted to save the people from the fire and water, but on the other hand, he was as lustful as life.
Using the power in his hands to seduce some pretty girls.
Forget it, no matter what he does, it has nothing to do with you anyway.
Out of etiquette, Jiang Yang also placed a stick of incense on the corpse of the former county magistrate.
I can't see anything, and the smell is a bit strong... I left it for too long and it stinks.
Out of benevolence, Jiang Yang called someone to go to a coffin shop in the county, bought a coffin with good sealing properties, and put his body in it.
As for the child of the former county magistrate, Jiang Yang also saw it for the first time. He was a five or six-year-old boy with big eyes and a round face. He looked very cute.
Just by opening his mouth, Jiang Yang wanted to slap him.
Although this boy is young, he is very old-fashioned. He opens his mouth and says: "My father is a high official, please kneel down to me."
"Do you know who I am? Listen to me, I will make you rich and prosperous."
Jiang Yang was so speechless that he looked like a 20th ancestor. He also said that he would give him a few hundred taels of silver so that the child could eat better on the road.
Go and ask for it, just let it happen and you'll be fine if you have some to eat.
Don't care about your children? If a son doesn't teach, it's the father's fault, and he will be a dandy, which will lead to disaster.
Let the little calf suffer a little.
The other child is a girl who is only three or four years old. She has bright and white teeth and is very cute.
After a while, Jiang Yang asked Chen Zhiyong to arrange for two people to come over.
They were all newly recruited government servants from the county, wearing brand new clothes, carrying long swords at their waists, and holding killing sticks in their hands.
Jiang Yang called the two of them aside and warned: "You don't care where the officials are sent to the county and come back directly."
"I'll go to Mr. Wang later to pick up a hundred taels. It'll cost you on the way. Don't go hungry. Also, if that little bastard makes a fuss, show him some humor. Don't let yourself be wronged."
"Understood, sir, Mr. Wang has already given us the money."
"We will definitely complete the mission." The two of them said as they cupped their hands.
Jiang Yang looked around and whispered: "In addition, don't forget the things I asked you to go to the county town to do."
In the afternoon, before the sun set, two people pulled a carriage, took the coffin of the former county magistrate, and two children, and set off.
