Chapter 946

The Taoist temple on Jinniuling is already full of victims who are willing to go to Lingao.This Taoist temple was applied by Roboquanzi with great difficulty-in the tide of acceptance at the end of the Qiongbei security war, the New Taoism and the Lingao Church launched a campaign to compete for local religious facilities.In the office of He Ying, the religious affairs officer, Dai E and Dean Wu started a fierce battle.As the county with the most temples and Taoist temples, Qiongshan has naturally become the focus of competition between the two sides.

After some bargaining, Daoist Dai lived up to his expectations and won most of the religious facilities for Xin Taoism.Although this Taoist temple on Jinniuling has been in disrepair for a long time, its scale is considered magnificent in the entire Qiongzhou.Zhang Daochang adhered to the principle of "occupying the land first and then building", and the principle of occupying such religious facilities is that the more the better.

"...Our central task, first is to arrest people, and second is to seize land." Zhang Yingchen instructed in his letter to Dai E, "Taoist temples are the center of communication. Without a stronghold for fighting, it is impossible to arouse fighting. passion."

Now, a young Taoist boy from the Taoist training class of the new Taoism has been stationed in the Taoist temple. He is wearing a standard Taoist robe designed by the Taoist leader himself: a Tang-style right lapel narrow sleeve lapel Hu suit, and the uniform is sewn on the right arm. Wearing a red Qiangua armband.Waiting at the door.He was caught off guard by the many refugees who arrived at once—there was actually nothing in the Taoist temple, because of the shortage of funds, only a few houses were repaired as dormitories and office space, and the crumbling temples were simply reinforced.

Now these dilapidated houses that barely survive are full of refugees who are going to Lingao to work.The staff sent by the county are maintaining order. Of course, the main role is the troops of the [-]st Infantry Battalion stationed in Qiongshan.The clerk of the company is registering the roster one by one, so that Lingao can prepare enough camps, food and clothing.According to the plan, most of these refugees will be used in various infrastructure construction sites and agricultural production areas in Lingao.

Due to the influence of that successful pyramid scheme, almost all the propertyless tenants who were waiting for relief in the county town were willing to go to Lingao to fight for a living.Many people also help the old and the young to prepare to migrate with their families.But the situation at the porridge market spread to the ears of the big households at an extra-fast speed, and the big households' reactions were much faster than Yang Yun, who presided over the matter, expected.Before the statistical work was completed, the big households came to stop people with the deeds signed by the tenants and the papers made by the tenants and poor farmers when they owed debts and rents.In this time and space, there is no concept of "going out to work to pay off debts", and these people's debtors have nothing to offset their value except for their physical strength.

Therefore, it is impossible for these creditors to let these laborers leave the county easily. Going out is tantamount to evading debts--if it was before, they could send a piece of paper to Lingao County to arrest people and continue to sell labor to pay off debts and complete the contract; Now they don't have such a big prestige.

Of course, the big households understand what it means to lose their tenants—first of all, this year’s rent is completely ruined. You can get some at a [-]% discount, and if the tenant runs away, you will have nothing, and even the rent arrears accumulated over the years will be written off.Moreover, many refugees have borrowed a lot of usury loans for famine and spring farming in the past. Now that they have gone to Lingao, they must not be able to pay back the money.

In desperation, the big households dispatched their stewards and servants one after another, and some even dispatched themselves to the porridge market to stop people.

Liu Xiang thought of this when he heard Yang Yun introduce the action plan. When the porridge shed was still setting up a pot to light a fire, he had already sent someone to call the security commissioner of the Qiongshan County Office—now Qiong The Shan County Police Department has not yet been formally established—bring the naturalized policemen to the Jinniuling Taoist Temple to maintain order.They also sent someone to pick up the elders who were in charge of the Delong Qiongshan Sub-branch and the Qiongshan County Court to deal with the problem.

But I didn't expect the big households to act so fast and rebound so violently. There were quarrels in the whole Taoist temple, some knelt down and cried, some scolded, some choked on eating too much... The naturalized police and soldiers worked hard to maintain Following order, the scene suddenly became chaotic.

Liu Xiang had no choice but to go up to the stage himself. There was no electro-acoustic loudspeaker here in a hurry, so he had to use a big tin speaker.Shock the scene with the "thick and high pitch" I practiced in karaoke in the old time and space.

"What's the fuss! Think this is Caishikou!"

Although others sing out of tune, Liu Xiang never sings in tune, but Liu Xiang's voice is indeed loud and thick, and even though it has been reduced a lot, it can still block the sight of the stomach as a resonance box. The scene suddenly fell silent.

The aborigines didn't know what Caishikou was, but they could tell that the Australian was angry.Everyone was stunned, not daring to argue anymore.

When the naturalized policemen saw this good opportunity, they immediately showed their presence with their heads high and their chests high, and separated the few people who were pulled together around them.

"Refugees go to the right to register first. Others wait at the gate of the Taoist temple!" Liu Xiang waved his hand and drew a line in the air, "This is a refugee camp, no one else is allowed to enter!"

"Qingtianda... that... chief," a well-dressed person in charge said boldly, "we can't let them go, they still owe a lot to our master!" The person in charge clapped an oiled paper bag in his hand Shouting Qu, aroused the stewards of several other big households to say yes.

"My lord, you took them away, and our whole family will have to hang ourselves." A small landowner cried, his robe was covered with mud, "Last year's rent was not paid..."

"This gang of unscrupulous people, master, please take a look. This is the result of our family's family's last year, the year before last, and the year before the year before last. Up to now, we haven't paid a single grain." Another steward waved a stack of ledgers filled with righteous indignation. , "Now I have to escape again! A real troublemaker!"

"Chief, this is Wang Shisan's family who borrowed the debt, and they haven't said that they will use his daughter to pay off the debt! Now he is going to run away! What is this? If you want to leave, you can stay here to pay off the debt!"

"It's only right and proper to pay off debts!"

Liu Xiang was in a daze when suddenly the crowd was separated, and an old man with a white beard walked in, who looked like a landlord and a scholar, and he said tremblingly: "Master... Chief... From ancient times to the present, Fu You Grain is produced, and grain is rented out. All grain households in the world are the foundation of the imperial court. The master must not practice the benevolence of a woman and destroy his own foundation..." As he spoke, he became excited, "Students who are well-read in history books are the foundation of the imperial court. The ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty have never had such an example in helping famines and disasters, so I ask the chief to learn from them."

He thought that since the Australians claimed to be descendants of the Song Dynasty, the method of holding the Song Dynasty was a big killer.

"They just registered to express their willingness to go, and they didn't want to take them away now! The county already has a plan for the debts and rent arrears you mentioned, and the cadres who deal with them are rushing here. You first wait at the door, Don't stir up trouble here! Get out first!" Liu Xiang said with a dissatisfied expression.

Seeing that the magistrate of the Australian county had made a real fuss, this group of people didn't dare to make a fuss, and thinking that these mud-legged people were in the Taoist temple, and they were guarding the door, and they didn't worry that they would slip under their noses, so they made a mess The ground retreated to a place where the gate could shelter from the rain.A few legs and feet were too slow, so they had to shrink under the eaves.

Seeing the gradual restoration of order, the two veterans in charge of court and bank affairs also came—they were actually on business trips in Qiongshan County and had no formal appointments.In fact, the veteran cadres in Qiongshan County, except for Liu Xiang, are all on business trips. The task is to build a team and provide training and guidance.

One is Chen Ce from the planning department of Delong Bank. He came to Qiongshan to set up a local branch of Delong——Since Qiongshan is the first county in the whole prefecture, Delong plans to build a Qiongzhou branch here, and then each county will set up a local branch. branch or office.The Qiongzhou sub-branch is also located in the Chief Branch Office, with only three offices and a warehouse.

The patriarch sent by the legal circle is Ji Xin. Apart from serving as the president of the court, he also has the task of building a local primary school.

Liu Xiang held a small meeting in a broken house in the Taoist temple, first explained the situation, and then came up with a plan on this issue.

"The situation has become clear. These tenants have been dragged directly to Lingao, and they dare not say anything, but the influence is not good." Liu Xiang concluded: "The big households have not yet realized the real danger, they just instinctively protect themselves debts can be secured.”

"I agree with the plan just mentioned. If the amount does not exceed my authority, I can approve a sum of funds." Chen Ce reiterated the condition of "not exceeding authority", "but I doubt whether they are willing to accept our circulation coupons ?As far as the current situation is concerned, Qiongshan’s negotiable notes are not creditworthy enough, and many people are skeptical. As for repaying debts directly with silver or grain, I’m afraid there are not enough reserves.”

"Then I'm ready to accept this big lawsuit. After a few days of heavy rain, I finally have work to do." Ji Xin said lightly, "I can take some measures to cancel these debts or reduce the amount—— It's not difficult at all."

Most of the big households and gentry who bully their tenants are illiterate, let alone understand the relationship between the above terms. The contracts, IOUs and willingness to conclude are all "overlord clauses". The spirit must be based on a relatively open basis.

"Is there a problem? The big family members don't think that we use our power to take advantage of it? I'm afraid people will not be convinced." Chen CE is a little worried, he is more sensitive to this aspect.
