When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 506: Iron-clad theft case ()

"Uncle Bei, I didn't handle today's matters well."

After sending these people away, the previous president followed the county officials to apologize.

"This kind of thing happens all the time."

Xinqu didn't care. He had been questioned by Tan and others before.

It wasn't until a string of wins came that they began to choose not to question themselves.

This all takes time to unfold.

In short, nothing is solved overnight, and if so, some things are not forever unsolvable.

After a brief exchange, Xinqu listened to his thoughts on the next development of rural governance.

Then he pointed out: “Village community governance can never escape the three keys.

First, self-sufficiency. Whether it is a village or a community, the first thing to ensure is that your local life can be satisfying while not affecting other villages.

Of course, when I set up county-level administrative units, it means that when encountering natural disasters or floods, I will definitely find ways to ensure the survival of most people.

Therefore, some places that are in the development stage and barbaric stage cannot be used immediately, but what I can provide you with are weapons and equipment and, when necessary, attack the barbarians who may infiltrate, thereby ensuring that you are in a Safe production environment.

Second, there is the issue of transactions. Due to the current population size and farming direction, it is impossible for me to encourage commerce on a large scale, so the things and places that can be traded are nothing more than the crops you produce, and I produce more useful farming tools here, and we can exchange what we need. So that you can better cultivate and reproduce future generations.

The third is the most critical ethical issue.

A community is not a village. A village is a priority area for marriages headed by scholar-officials. Scholar-officials naturally occupy most of the reproductive rights in the village. Therefore, after two or three generations, basically more than half of the blood relatives in each village are from the scholar-official lineage. Descendants.

The society must ensure that people with the same surname do not marry to reduce the possibility of deformed children being born.

At the same time, good hygiene must be done, and livestock must live at a certain distance from humans.

The last point, and the most critical point, is to cut more firewood and store it when you have time. It is still quite cold here in winter. "

"clear."

"You are about the same." Xin Qu looked at the other officials. Some were older and some were younger. The younger ones were mostly from school, but the older ones were generally elected by various clans.

That is, the spokesperson of each clan.

Now, the division of villages, communes and townships is clear.

The village is the territory of the officials, the township is the territory of the ministers, and the county can only be canonized by beings above the ministers.

Even Xin Qu is only Beibei now, so the only Shaoqing is just Shu Dagu.

So until now, Liaoyang Shaoqing Yelu's title is more of an empty title.

It is a reserved space for canonization and expansion after Liaoyang expands in the future.

In short, for the development of the clan, the parallelism of counties and states is the best solution.

After the exchanges between several parties were completed, Xinqu finally stood up.

They rushed to the iron factory in Pinggu just as it was getting dark.

But instead of feeling the howling cold wind, I felt the heat wave sweeping over me.

Many people shed part of their fur to avoid covering up prickly heat.

"Uncle Bei!"

Seeing Xin Qu, the local supervisor hurriedly came forward.

"Is Tao Nao here?"

"Doctor Tao'ao is handling a theft case at Tieguansi Yamen."

"theft?"

"Yes!" the supervisor said respectfully, "There are merchants from the Northern Lingzhi clan who spent a lot of money to let local iron and steel craftsmen steal the steel and take it back. The specific reason has not been announced, so the subordinates dare not ignore it."

"Okay, keep busy, I'll go over and take a look."

Xin Qu nodded slightly. He knew very well that once steel began to become popular, it would be targeted by various forces. But what I didn't expect was that it would start so early.

Moreover, this kind of matter can only be handled covertly, not openly, otherwise the honeymoon period with the Lingzhi family will only end quickly.

Before the road information in the direction of Chengde was clear, I couldn't directly break up, not to mention it would be useless even if I broke up.

This may not necessarily be the arrangement of Wu Ending Moose, but more likely it is something done by the tribes below.

In this era, there are too many independent tribes, and blood feudalism is the absolute mainstream. Therefore, the current political system with the Xin clan cannot be used to cover all tribes.

Came to Iron Lawsuit.

Before entering, I heard various screams coming from inside.

"Say! Who asked you to do this! If you don't tell, be careful of being implicated!"

"Doctor, I told you! The other party is just a pedestrian from the tribe who used to trade with us. They just want us to get the iron filings back, and then sell them to him after we melt them.

I was so obsessed that I tried to steal an iron ingot, but I got burned..."

Tao Aao was just about to have a seizure, but he saw the person walking in. He quickly took three steps at a time and said, "See Uncle Bei!"

"Well, I've heard the rumors, but I don't know the details of the case yet. Tell me about it."

As Xinqu walked up, Tao Ao said: "Here's what happened. This man was caught stealing. Originally, I thought he wanted to make tools and sell them. After all, he had a brother who was a blacksmith.

But after careful investigation of his blacksmith brother, I found out that they usually scrape off the iron filings stuck on the soles of shoes, then re-melt them into small iron balls, and then mix the small iron balls into the copperware.

Copper will therefore become harder.

But only there.

Because iron requires a very high temperature to be forged, and it is only through the collection of iron filings, the efficiency is very low.

However, iron is a controlled item. If you hold a large amount of unforged iron tools, according to our latest rules, your tribe will be implicated as mining slaves.

So no one dares to mess around.

Not exposed either.

Even his brother insisted that he knew nothing about this matter. He just heard from his elder brother that he wanted to collect some iron and then make it into a hoe to use it to plow the ground faster.

But before seeing Tie, he was arrested.

After subsequent inquiries, it was discovered that this person had made a deal with a pedestrian from the Lingzhi family. The other party was very interested in iron and offered a high price, hoping to get an unforged iron ingot.

But this is obviously wrong. After all, the temperature required for iron is very high. I still think that the other party wants to steal the secret recipe, so..."

Tao Ao was very cautious, but after Xin Qu listened, he immediately understood what he meant and said with a smile: "If there is a way to tame iron, there are a lot of iron ore in the Yanshan Mountains in the north.

But you have to consider the extent of development of Lingzhi's smelting technology.

They still generally use red copper. Perhaps in their eyes, iron and copper can be treated at different temperatures.

If you can't smelt it, you can still do it by forging it.

It’s just strenuous. "

After sitting down, Xin Qu still chose to support the statement of the man kneeling on the ground, and then said: "Having said that, do you want to be punished and meritorious service?"

"Yes! Yes!" The guy nodded repeatedly.

Beibo Xinqu had even seen this. If he dared to say no, the whole family would be dead now.

Moreover, the opportunity is rare. With Xin Qu's words of "devotion and meritorious deeds," he will have a way out.

"Okay, let's take a good rest for the next period of time. Let's get rid of the injuries on our body first. Then we will cooperate with Tao Nao to lure this guy in and catch him. As long as you catch him, your title will be offset and you will be demoted to a commoner. You don't have to be destitute. You are a slave.”

"Thank you, Uncle Bei!" The man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He still understands the simple truth of whether to be a slave or a commoner.
