Datang Longya

Chapter 32

Zhou Hanshan is the most respected person in Anmin County, and he showed his face in front of the emperor in the letter for the people, so the new county magistrate fell on him, and Li Shimin even wrote "Anmin" two words with his own hands. Words, stamped with the emperor's seal, as a congratulatory gift for Zhou Hanshan as an official.

Just at the gate of the county government office, the eunuch delivering the decree read the news in front of many villagers.

Zhou Hanshan Hanchuang studied hard for half his life, and only managed to find a scholar. He made a living by teaching on weekdays. He never thought that he could be an official in his lifetime, and even get a handwritten letter from the emperor.After trembling, Zhou Hanshan passed out happily after receiving the imperial decree and the royal handwriting.

Simultaneously with Zhou Hanshan's appointment decree, Li Shimin's decree to "do things cheaply" came to Li Chengqian.This shows that he handed over the mess in Anmin County to his son, which also contains the meaning of school examination.

Although Li Chengqian was only nine years old, but Leng Feng felt that he could handle this matter well, so he simply let it go and spent all day in the county government office sorting out the memories in his mind, planning to compile them into textbooks.

"I'll leave it to you to persuade the refugees to leave the mountain. You are a highly respected old man in Anmin County, and you can definitely speak up among the refugees."

Li Chengqian sat in the county government office, discussing the solution with a few old people.

The head of the evil is executed, and many masters, county magistrates and the like have to be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.Before the new officials were dispatched, Li Chengqian could only ask some old people in the county to help.

Zhou Hanshan pulled his beard and said: "It is easy to persuade the refugees to leave the mountains, but how to resettle them is the problem. At this time, the first month is not yet out, and it is still freezing, and it is impossible to build houses in a short time. I am afraid that they will have no place to live. "

Li Chengqian knocked on the table, and San Gouzi immediately pushed the door open and entered.

"It is said that the owners of all the inns in the county came to see me, oh yes, there are also businessmen from far away."

San Gouzi's legs were fast, and in a short while a dozen innkeepers and thirty businessmen entered the county government office.

"Refugees are not easy, and Han Dong still lives in caves. Gu intends to start recruiting refugees from today, but Han Dong is too slow to build houses, so I want to discuss something with you."

Everyone in Anmin County admired the prince very much, and the bosses and businessmen all patted their chests and promised to obey the prince's orders.

"In all the inns, one family per house is used to gather refugees to live in. The elderly who are lonely and widowed are given priority. Caravans bring their own tents. I hope that you will leave the inns. If there are spare tents, they will also be set up to gather the young and strong among the refugees. One should The cost of staying in the hotel and the use of tents are all calculated on the solitary person.”

An innkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Since we are helping the crown prince to win over refugees, how dare we take money!"

The merchants also expressed that they dare not accept money.

"You guys just keep it. Cui Buyun has extorted violently these years. I think you have suffered a lot of persecution. A lot of money was found in the county government. You have not handed it in. It is to slowly return it to the people. You don't want it. Let Gu's mind be in vain."

Hearing what Li Chengqian said, the innkeeper and the merchants immediately smiled and took orders to leave.

Zhou Hanshan cleaned up briefly, and then rode a donkey with a few refugees who had been persecuted into the mountain to look for refugees.

Li Chengqian drafted another notice to purchase grain and cloth.

With a gold-lettered signboard, everything is convenient. When the common people saw the notice, they immediately threw away their work and asked someone who could read it. After understanding the meaning of His Royal Highness, those who had surplus food at home rushed to the county with rice bags. The family did not sell it. The one with the cloth, and the one who carried the cloth and the grain.

The grain merchants in the county town also threw away the price tags and called their assistants to bring grain to the county government office. The owner of the clothing and material shop ordered his employees to pick out the thick materials and drive a cart of cloth to the county government office.

In just two hours, seven or eight piles of grain and several carts of cloth were piled up at the gate of the county government as high as the gate of the county government.

At this time, both farmers and businessmen were simple and simple. The owner of the Dongcheng Grain Store jumped on his feet and emphasized that his grain was only five cents a bucket, and he would not sell more or less.You know, on weekdays, he sells his shop for seven cents a bucket.

It was the first time Li Chengqian issued his call to the common people, but he did not expect such a strong response. He gratefully said to the food delivery crowd: "Thank you for the lonely refugees who have no food or clothing!"

The refugees who were frightened by Cui Buyun would not go out of the mountain despite Zhou Hanshan's persuasion, and even planned to beat him with a wooden stick if they were impatient.

Zhou Hanshan had no choice but to change to a refugee stronghold to persuade him.

There are a total of three refugee strongholds around Anmin County, and the first two strongholds did not allow them to leave the mountain.The third stronghold is Lin Gensheng and the others. Fortunately, they know the members of the Xun team. After a long discussion, Lin Gensheng decided to take everyone out of the mountain together, not asking for tax exemption, as long as there is land.

Hundreds of mighty people followed Zhou Hanshan to the county seat, and the refugees in the other two strongholds despised these people for their stupidity, so they couldn't help sending two old people to follow the big team to have a look.

All literate people were conscripted by Li Chengqian to the gate of the county seat. A dozen tables were lined up, responsible for recording and distributing relief funds. In the tent not far away, cooks were busy steaming rice and cooking vegetables.

The relief money is not much, just two for one household, and the refugees who received the money held the copper coins as carefully as if they were holding their own dolls.

The steamed rice is not white rice, but millet rice. The so-called stir-fried vegetables are nothing more than sliced ​​radish fried with lard pork.

But it was such a meal that made many refugees cry on the spot.

Li Chengqian stood on the table and shouted vigorously: "Folks, the imperial court was sorry for you before, but now it is winter, and it is not easy to build a house. I rented an inn for the lonely old people and children, and the young and strong felt wronged. Work hard, and when spring comes, craftsmen will build houses for you."

An old man lay trembling on the ground, and asked miserably: "Master, we don't care where we live, I just want to ask, do we have any land?"

For farmers, the land is everything, as long as they can cultivate the land and have a bite to eat, they are very satisfied.

Li Chengqian jumped off the table, helped the old man up, and said: "Of course, not only that, the court promised that no tax will be collected within six years. Please rest assured!"

No matter what you say, it is better to take action. After arranging the accommodation of these refugees, Li Chengqian personally took the young and strong from each family to see the land.

After looking at the fertile river beach, Lin Gensheng jumped on it, wishing he could take the land into his arms.

After confirming that the county was indeed collecting refugees and distributing land, the refugees from around Anmin County flocked to the gate of the county before dawn the next day.

Li Chengqian had been prepared for a long time, made an exception and opened the gate of the city early, and distributed food and meals at the gate of the city.Continue this process after dawn.

Seeing the refugees smiling happily after eating their fill, Li Chengqian finally let go of a big burden in his heart.
