Chapter 174 Chapter 174: Relocation of Jinxiang County
Upon hearing this, the magistrate of Qi County smiled and said: "What Miss Tao said, you represent the meaning above. Whatever Miss Tao has to do is directly. How we need to cooperate is determined by us."

Magistrate An agreed: "That's right, Miss Tao, but it doesn't matter."

"Merge Jinxiang County into Changdao County and Anxiang County." Tao Qiqi said.

"You mean to divide Jinxiang County into two, with half merged into Changdao County and half merged into Anxiang County?" asked the magistrate of Qi County.

Tao Qiqi replied: "That's right."

County magistrate An: "The villages are easy to talk about. Find a suitable location for each of their villages and allocate a piece of land for them to rebuild new villages. But there are still many people in the original Jinxiang County. The two of us The county can’t accommodate so many people.”

"Expansion." Tao Qiqi simply replied with two words.

As soon as these two words came out, the two county magistrates thought about it and felt that it was not impossible, so they nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two county magistrates had no objection, Tao Qiqi said again: "After the magistrate An goes back, he can first see which location is more suitable for expansion. It is best that one location can be settled, so that there is no need to start from multiple locations."

"Okay." Magistrate An nodded in agreement.

Tao Qiqi: "As for Changdao County, then expand directly to the west of the city."

When the county magistrate heard this, he said with some concern: "There is a river to the west of the city. If we expand it there, what will happen to the river?"

Tao Qiqi replied: "The river course is reserved. The construction of the bridge happens to be in the city. As for the river course in the city, it is natural to reinforce and raise the guardrail. I believe our construction team will be able to handle it well."

After listening to Tao Qiqi's words, a picture appeared in Magistrate Qi's mind.

There can be a river in the city, which is not necessarily a bad thing.

As long as safety measures are taken, villagers in the city can still have a place to collect water and wash clothes.

There is no need to go in and out of the city every time like now.

In addition, during the Shangyuan Festival every year, the lanterns can be placed directly in the city.

There is no need to go to the city to release it as in the past. In the past, for everyone's safety, their county government would be busy that night without touching the ground.

"Okay, then I will arrange for people to start preparations soon. But this project is not small..."

When the county magistrate said this, he hesitated to speak.

Tao Qiqi naturally understood when she heard this, so she said: "No one wants to see this natural disaster. The entire Jinxiang County is flooded. We are also very sad. The higher-ups are also very worried about the villagers, and they also allocated funds to help the villagers. Let’s rebuild our homes.”

"But the higher-ups are also having difficulties now. After all, Jinxiang County is not the only one suffering. We can't rely entirely on the higher-ups, so we sell them the rebuilt shops at half the original price."

"The other half will be borne by the government. In this way, the government and the people each bear half. That is, for the shop that originally sold for 300 taels, they only need to pay 150 taels. Do you understand?"

"Understood." The two county magistrates nodded.

"As for the reconstruction of each village, subsidies will be provided based on the area on their property deeds, with a compensation of 66 taels per acre. If the area on the other party's property deed is half an acre, then 33 taels of silver will be compensated to them."

"Except for the money, the ground is allocated to them for free according to the house deed and land deed. In the end, it is up to them whether they build a brick house or a mud house."

This compensation, Tao Qiqi, was also converted.

One acre of land covers more than 600 square meters. Nowadays, houses built in rural areas only occupy half an acre at most. Some families with small populations have even smaller houses.

Compensation of more than 30 taels for half an mu of land is considered very good.

The more than 30 yuan is used to build brick houses and it will not be much worse.

They can build a brick house with an additional one or two hundred taels at most.

If you are more diligent, you can handle some materials by yourself, and you can save some money.

And for things like thatched huts and firewood huts, just build a mud room, and you don't need so many bricks and tiles.

Although the people who suffered the disaster are suffering, it is impossible for the higher authorities to fully compensate them.

There are so many people suffering in the south, and if the country fully bears the burden, there will be great pressure.

Therefore, the state will bear a large part and the people themselves will bear a small part. The pressure on both will not be too great.

"Also, when the shops are being built, all those suffering people who can move will be arranged, and they cannot be left to wait in vain. As long as they come to help, they will be provided with two meals."

"Okay." The two county magistrates responded in unison.

"In addition, there were originally eleven villages in Jinxiang County. Since they were merged into your two counties, they will be divided according to the downstream and the upstream. The five villages on the downstream side will be allocated to Anxiang County, and the six villages on the upstream side will be allocated to Changchang County. Dao County. Is that possible?" Tao Qiqi said and looked at the two county magistrates.

The two county magistrates nodded and said, "No problem."

After hearing this, Tao Qiqi continued: "It's no problem. The villages that suffered this time took refuge. Some of the refuge places can be directly reclaimed to rebuild the villages, so there is no need for them to move around.

"Directly lead people to arrange wasteland reclamation. Try to open it before the year, and they can organize the construction after the next year. If some are not suitable for reconstruction, choose another suitable site."

"Okay." The two county magistrates nodded again.

It was precisely because of their cooperation that Tao Qiqi was able to finish the merger of Jinxiang County so quickly.

With this arrangement, the two county magistrates have no objection, so the next step is to start implementing it.

Tao Qiqi is also a person who makes thunder and orders, and the two county magistrates are also people who worry about the common people, so they started to act in the afternoon.

First, draw out the location of the expansion of the county seat, and make sure that half of the people in Jinxiang County can successfully live in it.

Once the site is set aside, the work team will naturally be arranged to start construction.

Determine the material, dig the foundation, dig the foundation, and the division of labor is clear.

The two counties are very busy, and the folks hiding in the mountains are also busy working on land reclamation.

After learning about the subsidy given to them above, everyone was very motivated.

Tao Qiqi took up the financial job for the time being.

Every time the materials are delivered, and if they are sure to be correct, they can come to Tao Qiqi with the official-sealed receipt to get the money.

Handing over the order in one hand and holding the money in the other, things were progressing in an orderly manner.

Of course, Tao Qiqi's guards and the former Jinxiang county government officials were not idle either.

Because the entire Jinxiang County was flooded, the original roads also needed to be opened and built.

In order not to affect their return to Jiangdu after finishing their work here, Tao Qiqi's guards took the government servants to work on the road construction team during this period.

After everything was settled, Tao Qiqi naturally had her own time again.

She handed over the financial work to Fang Yu, and ran into the mountains by herself.

Sometimes she would generously hand over the wild animals she brought back to the construction site for extra meals.

Everyone couldn't be more satisfied with her, the person arranged by her superiors.

Although she is a girl, what she does makes everyone feel very warm, so everyone will never make irresponsible remarks about her and respect her very much.

In ten days it will be New Years Eve.
