God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 700 Despair
Du He smiled slightly.

When Li Ke came to join him, Du He thought this guy was a trouble, so he threw the Guancheng Brigade to him.

Unexpectedly, with his status as the king of Shu and the management of the city brigade, this guy has become a big disaster in Hu County, and everyone is afraid.

Not bad!

Du He looked at the crowd and asked, "This is the first fire, the county wants to build roads, is there any objection?"

Everyone saw Li Ke sitting next to Du He staring at him, looking for something, as if he was about to run away at any time, so they all lowered their heads.

Du He said with a smile: "Your Highness, look at the officials of our Hu County, they are all very cute and very shy. If they don't speak, they are acquiescing, right?"

Li Ke nodded suddenly: "Yes, yes, teacher, they all acquiesced, and they all praised you in their hearts. Road construction, the teacher said, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads... Everyone is a scholar, of course I understand This truth is just that these dogs are very shy and dare not say it."

Everyone: "..."

King Shu, you have changed!
Du He continued: "The second fire is farming. The county government's more than 3 mu of land in the south of the city should be used for farming."

No one spoke.

Even if you object, you dare not speak out.

Du He coughed and said, "The third fire is raising pigs."

"puff……"

A young official in the middle of the third row was selected by the Ministry of Officials.

Hearing about raising pigs, he couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth.

The others also suppressed their laughter.

Raising pigs?

Since the Han Dynasty, as the Han people and the Hu people began to merge, eating pork has become unpopular.

Today, pork is only eaten by lowly commoners.

Families with a little extra money sneer at pork.

Not to mention raising pigs in a grand manner.

Isn't it the biggest joke in the world that a dignified magistrate of a county wants to advocate raising pigs?
Du He frowned, pointing at the official: "Where did you come from, drag it out and hang it up!"

This guy was taken out and hung up with Dai Jinyun.

Du He said sternly: "Building roads, farming, and raising pigs will become the three major policies of Huxian County. However, the Ministry of Construction is responsible for building roads, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce is responsible for farming and pig raising. Those who are willing to farm, stand up !"

Crash.

The people from the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce stood up in unison.

Everyone knows that if you don't farm the fields, you can only raise pigs.

Raising pigs?

The famous name in that life will be ruined.

No one wants to raise pigs.

Du He's face turned green.

Damn, you are the smart ones!
"Is there anyone willing to raise pigs?" Du He asked.

No one answered.

After a while, a voice came from the corner: "Brother Du, I would like to raise pigs!"

Everyone turned their heads to look.

Wei Shuyu stood up slowly: "I want to raise pigs..."

Du He was overjoyed, stepped forward to support Wei Shuyu himself, and said, "Brother Wei is so righteous, well, from today onwards, you will be in charge of raising pigs."

"Okay, when is the meal? Am I hungry?" Wei Shuyu scratched his head and asked.

Du He: "..."

The crowd burst into laughter.

The three fires were ignited in this way, which can also be said to be the three major policies Du He implemented in Hu County.

The first major policy is to build roads, open up the road from Hu County to Chang'an, improve the original winding official road, and build a straight road leading to Chang'an.

The second major policy, Tuntian, allocates [-] mu of land in the south of Huxian County as experimental fields for planting.

The third major policy is to raise pigs. To the southwest of Huxian County, near the Qinling Mountains, there is a large mountain that is barren and does not produce food. It is also considered the mountain of the county government and will be used to raise pigs.

Don't dare to disobey Du He's order.

After all, those who opposed were all hung on the big trees by the river.

……

When the news came out, the gentry in Hu County had to laugh at Du He.

For the people at the bottom, they don't think so.

The faces of the homeless people all over the street were full of despair.

They were looking forward to it, and they finally hoped for Qiu Wanjia's death, and a new county magistrate came to the court.

I thought that the new county magistrate would kill all those damned gentry and return the land, houses, money and food to everyone.

But it has been more than a month, and there is no movement.

Recently, there has finally been a movement, but it is the county government recruiting scholars to be officials.

This has nothing to do with us people or a penny.

Within a few days, it was reported that the new county magistrate began to implement the three major policies.

road?

Since ancient times, building roads and rivers has been a waste of money and people.

Tuntian?

This farm is different from the past. In the past, the farms were farmed by the people themselves, but now the county government farms the farms themselves. What kind of experimental fields are planted? This is to compete with the people for profit.

Raising pigs?

For poor people, raising pigs is actually a very tangled matter.Things like pigs are different from cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep only need to eat grass, but if pigs are not carefully raised, they will not grow a few catties of meat. Now, even people can't eat enough, so how can they have food to raise pigs? .The most important thing is that the pigs have been raised with great difficulty, but the pork is very unpalatable. The taste is far from that of mutton.

In short, to put it bluntly, these three things have nothing to do with the common people.

It's all about the county government.

Everyone was disappointed.

"What's the use of exempting from taxes for a year? Now that my house is gone and even the land is gone, I have to pay taxes. What's the difference?"

"Forget it, just wait to starve to death!"

"The new county magistrate, I heard that he is a half-grown child, hehe, as expected, he can't do things well!"

"God, Qiu Wanjia is bad enough, why doesn't the government think about us!"

"Rivers of the same feather, no one who is an official has a good thing!"

Many people cried in the streets.

At the entrance of a certain alley, several young adults gathered together.

One of them said: "We can't survive anymore, let's run away and go to Chang'an, or go to other places, it's better than starving to death!"

"Yeah, if you stay here, you'll just drink porridge every day. Maybe there will be no more porridge at any time!"

"But... now the county seat of Huxian County has been guarded, and they say that they can only enter but not exit!"

"This new dog county magistrate, is he trying to kill everyone?"

Several young and strong clenched their fists, aggrieved.

Suddenly, the people around ran to the south of the city like crazy.

Several people were a little dumbfounded.

Is this an earthquake?

Someone asked: "Old man, what are you running for?"

The trembling old man, leaning on crutches, holding a begging bowl, panting, said: "Hiring, recruiting, the county government is recruiting!"

A young man said, "What the hell is the county government doing?"

"It must be a lie again!"

The old man said while running: "Recruitment, the county government recruits people, builds roads, raises pigs, farms, at least ten coins per day!"

Ten pennies?
As soon as the young men heard this, they ran forward and quickly left the group of people behind.

Seeing this, the old man slapped his head, "Oh, I knew I wouldn't tell you, I don't know how to respect the elderly at all, ouch, who stepped on my pants, my Jill..."
