Chapter 186 Xin Huo’s reminder

dusk.

Xinqu sat by the brazier and wrote and drew.

He has revised two versions of the overall prototype and decided to add a grass-soil cofferdam to the northeast.

Directly abandon the construction of the buttress dam proposed for the first time.

In this way, it is only necessary to add an irrigation canal to separately discharge water from the cofferdam.

The cost is also lower, and the cofferdam can be used on both sides, making it suitable for irrigation hub lakes during dry periods.

As for the cost, it is to be careful of too much water flooding, which will cause the cofferdam to be washed away.

Finally, the overall river height difference of Xinshui was adjusted.

Winter is coming soon, so rivers are artificially dug deep, straightened, and eased to reduce the potential energy of water after it comes out of the mountains.

"Um……"

"Qu!" Xin Huo walked in and saw that Xin Qu was busy, so he called out.

"Oh, Mr. Huo, sit down."

Xin Qu saw that it was Xin Huo, so he asked him to sit down, and then continued to look at the pictures.

After Xin Huo sat down, he said calmly: "Have you ever heard the complaints of the tribesmen?"

"Are you complaining that it's too hard and tiring?" Xinqu put down the picture in his hand and smiled, "If it's just a complaint, then it's not a big problem."

"What should I say?" Xin Huo frowned and looked at Xin Qu.

He shook the picture in his hand and said: "The purpose of building these water conservancy projects is to prevent droughts and floods in summer and autumn. After the repairs are completed, I can ensure that the land around the canals will be irrigated.

But irrigated land is limited.

I can agree to the next person who is unwilling to work.But they can only be allocated dry land. Although the output of dry land is also available, this winter, I am considering whether to lower the tax amount.

Arrangements are based on title. The higher the title, the greater the tax reduction.

For example, compared with the Chinese, the average farmland is ten jins less per mu, and the family farmland is five jins less.

In this way, if you plant water and irrigate the land, your tax will be at the same level as that of dry land. The tax reduction per acre is not a small amount. "

"You can't deceive the clan members." Xin Huo frowned and looked at Xin Qu, "The tax payment method you designed is to deduct the base tax per mu.

I have roughly read that the foundation tax for one mu of dry land is about [-] kilograms, and the foundation tax for one mu of irrigated land is about [-] kilograms.

The output of one mu of dry land ranges from forty to fifty kilograms, while the output of one mu of irrigated land ranges from sixty to eighty kilograms.

Just from the base tax, you took away [-]% to [-]% in the name of the yamen.

If you reduce it now, at most it will be [-]-[-] with the clansmen.This range is not low! "

Xin Huo's words made Xin Qu scratch his head, but he didn't expect to be noticed.

According to the current output, Xinqu basically requires the tribesmen to provide food and work hard, and the benefits will definitely not be seen in the short term.

But the problem is, no matter how Xinqu adjusts the incentive ratio, there is still a big problem here - that is, there is only so much output.

If you want both, you can only suffer the people of the tribe.

"Think about it carefully." Xin Huo frowned when he saw Xin Qu thinking, and how could he not know that he must know it well, "Now the people in the tribe can still do it with you, that's because they have no choice.

But it's winter soon, and everything will be consumed more. There is only so much food in the tribe. If you give more to the tribe, you won't be able to do what you want to do. If you don't give to the tribe, they will hate you.

After that, even if you want to do something, you will be unable to do it.

Moreover, even if you suppress the tigers and wolves in the east, what about the ones in the west?
In the final analysis, the Changxin clan still has broken bones and connected tendons with us. You can support them, but I'm afraid they won't appreciate it.

When the time comes, it will hurt your clan members' hearts and your prestige will be hit even harder. "

After Xin Huo finished speaking, he coughed again, and then walked away slowly.

Xin Qu was left sitting alone.

……

Another night.

"Chief, I'm here to deliver a letter from my father..."

Shu Chui pushed the door open and entered Xinqu's room. Then he saw the empty table and looked around: "Huh? Isn't he here? Didn't Master Huo say that the clan leader is here?"

"Hey, have any of you seen the clan leader?"

Shu Chui came out and shouted, and everyone shook their heads.

"What's wrong? Didn't you find Qu?" Xin Huo heard Shu Chui's shout and turned to look.

"Yes, Mr. Huo, the clan leader is not here. All the things have been collected and I don't know where they went." Shu Chui scratched his head: "Since you are not here, you should forward it to the Yamen."

"Well, go ahead, be careful on the road."

Xin Huo sent Chu Chui away with a smile, and then frowned slightly, Xin Qu was not someone who didn't say hello.

Where did he go?

Could it be that I lost my temper because I said something to him?
It shouldn't be.He is not such a person.

Shu Chui delivered the letter to the clan.

After searching around and asking everyone, Xin Qu was not found.

"Strange... Hey, Brother Shi Wu, have you seen the clan leader?"

When Shu Chui saw Shi Wu passing by with his son in his arms, he quickly shouted.

Shi Wu was stunned: "Didn't the patriarch go to the market?"

"No, the patriarch is not here. I sent him a letter written by my father, and I searched around the market, but still couldn't find anyone. Now... what should I do?"

Chu Chui was a little anxious: "My father and the others said that someone was infected with the cold and they were worried that it would be contagious and needed to be sent back for recuperation. This is a big deal. Uncle Chu Yan said that if it is not handled well, many people may be killed.

We dare not make a decision either. "

Shi Wu frowned and took the wooden tablet in the boy's hand. He shook it open and saw that it indeed recorded ten patients with cold.

This disease can be big or small. If it is not treated well, no one knows the consequences.

"Give it to me first. Then I'll pass it on to Xin Qu." Shi Wu blurted out, carried the child back, handed Jiao to Tao Zi, and then returned to the Yamen to guard.

As a result, it was not until the next day that he was woken up by Qing Yan who was changing his shift, only to find that Xin Qu did not show up after waiting all night.

"Where is this... clan leader? Have you seen it?"

"No, is the patriarch back? He's not at the market..."

Before Qing Yan could finish his words, Shi Wu rushed out: "Quick, send a few people from each side and follow me to each stronghold in Changping City to find the clan leader.

He was never one to suddenly disappear.

Something must have happened! "

Shi Wu's voice completely shattered the tranquility of the morning.

"What? Qu is missing?"

A kind of confusion and panic, mixed together, rose to the entire Changping City at the same time.

"Where did you go?"

Everyone guessed.

"Could it be that the Chang Xin clan assassinated us? So they can annex us?"

Someone with a conspiracy theory said something and instantly stirred up a stir.

"That's right! This time the clan leader went with Yao Gonghezi and other people from the Xin clan!"

"This must be the fault of the nobles of the Changxin clan! They are a bunch of bastards!"

The people at the bottom of the Changxin clan felt the previous estrangement and anger, and hurriedly came out to argue: "We are also unhappy with them! They don't treat us as human beings at all! Only Xinqu is our clan leader!"

That's right!I am also a Xin person! "

Teams are happening at any time, and there are only a lot of disturbances.

"What's going on?" Qi Fang's Weishan boat has not yet left the Youxin family.

After being woken up, I walked to the door and suddenly saw the Xin family moving half the city's people up and down, "Are some barbarians coming?"

"No, it seems that Chief Xinqu is missing." Someone came to report.

"What? Missed? How could it be?"

Wei Shanzhou was also shocked: "If it disappears and there is a new clan leader, it would be bad if he turns against us and refuses to recognize our contract. Ying Qi, please also arrange a few people to help the Xin family look for it."

"Ah? Why do we still have something to do with us?" Ying Qi was stunned when he heard this. He was the guy who said that widows are not bad.

"Yes, the Xin family knows their territory better than us. How can we find them if they can't find them?" Others also frowned.

"It's just because they are so familiar that they overlook some places." Wei Shanzhou scolded this lazy guy, "Hurry up! It's time to strengthen our friendship!"

"Okay, okay, you guys come with me and go find those girls and ask about the situation." Ying Qi shouted, and with a dozen strong men who had already formed a deep friendship with the local girls, they came to visit and inquire. News.
