Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Chapter 91: Loyal Minister

A quarter of an hour later, the prefect's mansion issued a message: All the people who can't build houses, please return as soon as possible, this time only craftsmen who can build houses will be recruited.

In order to appease these simple people, Jia Rong came forward and explained: "Everyone has worked hard all the way here, thank you for your support to the prefect's mansion, I am the prefect of Beidi County, but this time I am building a house, not doing physical work. Don’t worry, those people who don’t know how to build a house will be able to go back, the prefect’s mansion will definitely be useful to you in the future, and please support us when the time comes.”

The people exploded, most of the people saw Jia Rong for the first time, and they all watched carefully with their eyes wide open, for fear of missing something when they went back and told their family what the prefect looked like, even if Jia Rong Rong is so thick-faced, and he is a little embarrassed to be scrutinized by everyone. This appearance has triggered many versions of Jia Rong's appearance.

The common people are simple, and the prefect came out to explain in person, and after watching for a while, they all dispersed, leaving only those real craftsmen who can build houses.

Jia Rong said in his heart: "These people are really good entertainers. In future generations, they will definitely be in a hurry again."

At the same time, the autumn harvest also began. Jia Rong organized soldiers to go to the countryside to help the old and weak people harvest grain, which won a lot of praise. After the mighty autumn harvest was over, the cultivation began.

This year's harvest is not very good, food and clothing for the family is still a big problem after the tax is paid, and where can I get the seeds to sow the newly allocated fields, I am afraid that after sowing, there will not be enough food for porridge in winter.

The prefect's mansion distributed the seeds to each household, and set a rule that [-]% of the land allocated this time would be handed over to the prefect's mansion after harvest in the next year, and after ten years, the land would be owned by the individual.

Jia Rong's edict solved the problem of farming for the people of Beidi County, and also solved the military rations of Beidi County in the coming year. In troubled times, it is most reassuring to store food in the warehouse.

Naturally, the common people had no objection, they got the land and the seeds for nothing, but with some effort, although they had to hand over [-]% of the grain in the next year, there was still half left, and the result was already very satisfying.

After the autumn plowing and autumn planting were completed, the Beidi County school field resumed the previous training. The soldiers' enthusiasm for training has obviously increased a lot. Taking them down to help the people from time to time can not only improve morale, but also make the people surrender.

Looking at the soldiers with dark faces but all smiles, Jia Rong also smiled knowingly.

Now the most common discussion among the soldiers is what delicious food they ate when they were helping the people. The act of helping the people made them more attached to the army. This measure will be promoted throughout Beidi County in the future.

The Qiang soldiers also feel more at ease. They will settle down in Beidi County in the future. With such an army to protect them, there is nothing to worry about.

Under the command of Liu Tiejiang and a group of craftsmen, the craftsman's workshop is doing impressively. Those people are very honest. They work at dawn and rest at sunset. They don't need supervision at all. Whenever they see those people receiving their daily wages Jia Rong couldn't help but think of the excitement he felt when he first started working and got his first month's salary.

The craftsman's workshop was built in a sparsely populated area in Beidi County, and the nearby residents were also moved to other places by the prefect's mansion. Residents were not allowed within a radius of 500 meters.

Jia Rong did not expect that he was just a security guard in the company, and he, who was squeezed everywhere, would actually be a good person in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Looking at the simple people in front of him, it was as if he saw the old parents working hard in their hometown, struggling to provide for him. When I was in college, my eyes were wet with tears and I didn't realize it.

Jia Rong led the soldiers and people of Beidi County to work in full swing, but the public opinion from the outside world was flying all over the sky, and the versions were even more diverse.

Many ministers of the Han court kept attacking Jia Rong with unruly intentions and sabotaging the court, but the Han emperor ignored it, as if Beidi County was not the territory of the Han Dynasty. In fact, the Han emperor had no choice but to enter the winter. A thick pile of documents asking for food was piled up from all over the place.

After the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Han also understood his previous confusion. He intended to be a wise emperor and rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. There are also constant wars, and powers are delegated to those state herdsmen. The state herdsmen still continue to write to the court to ask for food, grass, soldiers and horses to support them. There is a lot of big talk, such as eating the king's salary and being loyal to the king, the king's important ministers and dead ministers have to die, it's all nonsense, some pretending to be noble and loyal ministers, it is more difficult to get them to contribute their family assets than to kill them.

The money in Wanjintang is also about to run out, and these words can only be complained to Zhang Rang occasionally.

At this time, a letter from Jia Rong made Emperor Han very happy. The memorial said that Beidi County does not need the disaster relief food from Hanting, as long as it is more difficult, it can get through the difficulties. Please rest assured that Emperor Han, this is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow. The barrenness of Beidi County is unknown to everyone in the Han Dynasty, and a major heart disease has been eliminated. The Emperor Han's impression of Jia Rong has also been greatly improved. For the time being, he has no idea of ​​​​moving Jia Rong. In the current Emperor Han's cognition Here, as long as he doesn't ask himself for money and food, he is a loyal minister. No matter how those ministers attack Jia Rong, Emperor Han always ignores him, and Jia Rong naturally becomes a loyal minister.

Most of the poor scholars in the territory of the Han Dynasty are paying attention to Beidi County, even Yingchuan Academy is no exception. Regarding Jia Rong's ruling in Beidi County, Yingchuan Academy is divided into two factions, one faction of poor scholars, one faction of aristocratic families, and two factions. Fang Fang refuted Jia Rong's various behaviors, often arguing blushingly, and the dean Xun Shuang shook his head helplessly.

Merchants from all over the world intend to come to Beidi County to do business, but they can't make up their minds. After all, Beidi County has been the county that bears the brunt of the Qiang people's attacks for many years, and it is too risky to do business.

Li Wang, Liu Yao, and the four great aristocratic families in Beidi County watched Jia Rong's actions in Beidi County with a smile, as if they were looking at a clown who neither supported nor obstructed him, just an outsider.

Only Wang Gu, the patriarch of the Wang family, was very interested in Jia Rong's series of actions. He would study every edict of Jia Rong carefully. He found that every edict of Jia Rong revolved around the poor, lowly and The merchants and craftsmen who descended from the lower class are of no benefit to their aristocratic families, as if in Jia Rong's eyes, their aristocratic families are not as good as those poor and humble people.

Holding a secret silk in his hand, a smile appeared on Wang Gu's wrinkled and criss-crossed face, "That's it!" Jia Rong came from ordinary people, and his relatives died at the hands of bandits. , Once he gained power, Jia Rong's edicts couldn't be more normal, "You're still too young!" Wang Gu murmured.

In Beidi County's prefect's mansion, Jia Rong sat in front of the table and dealt with the memorials from various counties. After reading the memorials, Jia Rong wrote a big "read" with a black brush, and occasionally wrote in some memorials. Write a big "excellent" on it, add some suggestions of your own, and then put it on the case. Zhang Li's processing efficiency is naturally unmatched, but the crooked calligraphy makes these neat memorials lose their beauty. Less beauty.

Zhang Li was very puzzled by Jia Rong's comments on the memorials sent from various places. Jia Rong's behavior was completely out of place.

Jia Rong patiently explained: "The word "read" is written on it, which means that I have read it and needs to be further improved. If you approve it as "excellent" and add some suggestions, it means that this order can be implemented."

Zhang Li shook his head disapprovingly and said, "It's just that my lord corrected the original text like this, in case the officials below will discuss it, so I should write another one."

"Hahahaha." Jia Rong smiled awkwardly, "Isn't Beidi County barren, and this is a last resort." After finishing speaking, Jia Rong fled in despair.

If you stay any longer, your ears will most likely be covered with a thick layer of calluses. Jia Rong has a deep understanding of Zhang Li's mouth. Today, he kindly came to help him with some memorials, but it didn't end well. resentful.

Zhang Li looked at Jia Rong who fled in despair, and couldn't help laughing out loud. He sat on the chair where Jia Rong was handling government affairs just now, and read the memorial that Jia Rong had handled. Zhang Li couldn't help but gasp. , Jia Rong's way of handling the memorial seemed casual, but the opinions he put forward made Zhang Li also applaud him, and he couldn't help but look at this usually unruly protagonist with admiration.

After transcribing Jia Rong's suggestions and sending them to the counties, the smile on his face was replaced by a solemn look.

Jia Rong walked on the old streets of Beidi County, quietly feeling this ancient city, Jia Rong could find that the smiles on the faces of the people were much more than before, and they gathered in small groups to chat about homework , Their clothes are very simple, and if you look closely, you can find densely packed feet under the clothes, but they can't stop the smiles on their faces.

Looking at the smiles on the faces of the people, Jia Rong felt warm in his heart. Suddenly, Jia Rong had the idea that although thousands of people should go, no matter how much infamy they bear, as long as the people can live a good life, I was satisfied, thinking of how magnificent it would be to have my own longevity tablet in the homes of the people in the big man at that time.

Jia Rong, who was in YY, was awakened by a sudden "Hello, General!", looking at Ulan with a silly smile on his face, Jia Rong felt angry for no reason.

He frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Ulan! He has grown up and can speak Chinese, and he has made rapid progress. Teach the Qiang soldiers under his command and try to make them all speak Chinese fluently."

Ula Ulan kept talking in a hurry. It turned out that Ulan learned the phrase "Hello, General" just to say hello when he saw Jia Rong.

The soldier next to him immediately stepped forward to explain.

Jia Rong laughed loudly and said, "So it's a counterfeit." The unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
