Two days later, the newly-organized work team where Du Xunhe was located came to another newly opened Tun Village, and some Zhuang Dings and members of the patrol team who heard the news on the sentry were already welcomed.

"What's going on in this way?"

Du Xunhe frowned slightly and looked at some figures tied to the wall with his hands tied back by the rope; there was a half-baby holding a stick next to him, guarding her with her eyebrows coldly.

"These are all thieves who are left to be tried, that is, villagers who come to steal grain and tools from nearby villages and towns. They should have taken them to the camp in the central village on a date. When we came, we interrogated and dealt with them together."

The team leader explained immediately.

After they set up their luggage as usual, someone had already set up old mats and tables in the largest open space outside the village, and even had ready-made and water-milled pens. Those figures tied to the wall, ragged or unkempt, were also led to the scene.

"Why do these people steal food and how should they be delivered?... Could it be that the work team also has this right to criminal name?"

Du Xunhe became slightly confused.

"Because no matter what kind of water and soil it is, the output of all the farms under the Taiping acres is always higher than that of the neighboring villages. If you want to say that this place in Hunan harvests every year and harvests three times in two years; but most farms can have two rice a year and interplant a crop of beans and wheat, which is not envious of people."

He was responsible for accompanying them to patrol team leader and immediately interrogated.

"People at that time said that it was because of the many rare and unparalleled varieties issued by the Grand Commander. Therefore, there are always many people who want to take advantage of the situation."

The team leader also said with a proud expression.

"But I don't know that composting breeding and farming irrigation are all corresponding knowledge and regulations. How can these people who paint tigers and cats easily be imitated? On the contrary, they cannot cause many right and wrong and disasters."

"As for the right to punish the right to punish the criminal name, it is actually just a few simple and clear trivial matters. We finally know more constitutions and systems than those in the village, right? If we can deal with it on the spot, we don't have to spend more time."

The team leader smiled again.

"Of course, we are just proposing disposal opinions in accordance with the regulations. If the village thinks it is unsatisfactory, we can still report our detention opinions to the Yingtian Institute for the deliberation."

Hearing this, although Du Xunhe did not speak, he couldn't help but think of the ancient Han Dynasty's "Three Olds and Five Updates", which was just like this. It actually made people feel the taste of self-restraint and regaining rituals and benevolence in the world.

"In fact, the harvest of Taiping Army under its rule over the years is good, and there are some accumulations in various villages. For those orphans and widows who have picked up some scattered valleys and leaked from the newly harvested fields, they won't really care about them."

The current teammate said.

"However, there are always some greedy people who want more, and even affect and destroy the arrangement of subsequent production, which is unbearable. There must be some punishment to ensure that the momentary kindness is not abused by others and affecting themselves."

Next, Du Xunhe, who was full of thought, was a clerk for on-site interviews and records. He wrote more than a dozen concluding documents in a row with a pen head, and finally replaced it with a bamboo brush and penjun to copy a large letter to the post.

The most common result of the disposal is the punishment of the labor service under the supervision of our village on-site. The lightest of them is to continue to show the public under the wall for three days to serve as a warning.

The most serious case is that the two people tried to steal the collective property in the farm, a bull who was just a young man; then while being chased and fled, one fell to death, and the other stabbed the bull on the butt when he saw that the situation was not good, causing him to rush down the hillside and break his leg.

So he did not make a decision directly on the spot, but decided to escort the county to deal with it separately. If what was expected was good, what would be waiting for him would be to go to mining or quarry. However, Du Xunhe also noticed that the person questioned and judged present was honest and obedient, and there was almost no debate or dispute.

"Are these villagers so obedient?"

He couldn't help but ask privately in surprise with a little surprise

"Actually, at the beginning, there were still people coming to make trouble in the neighboring villages. Under the leadership of the sect leader and the landlord, they wanted to rely on the large number of people to get people back, and then they were dispersed by the people gathered by the village and went back several times."

The team leader explained solemnly.

"Then they started to make trouble in the Siye area. As a result, several working teams came to the county and entered the village. They caught the head of the clan and the landlord who incited the trouble behind them and sentenced to labor. Then they selected a relatively honest and reliable leader and the village chief, and then all stopped. The rest were thieves who were not open to their eyes."

"Actually, in the past few years, every early winter, some young women in the village come to steal objects hanging outside, and then deliberately are noticed and caught. They are then punished to work and repay in the village, and usually they are put back until the spring is over."

"This, this is really...."

Du Xunhe only felt that his three views had been seriously impacted.

"Brother Du is a scholar, so I'm afraid I feel a little shameless."

Another team member with wide shoulders but slightly hunched behind him came across.

"But when people can't survive and they're going to starve to death, what's the use of shame? I'm all over my hometown, people who eat dirt and are thriving themselves. But the government and the men in the village are getting worse and worse to serve the court."

"If you can't hand over, you have to put away the shackles and even drag them out to show them every day. Many people's pillars were caught and tortured, forcing the old man to hang himself at home. The wife sold his children to deliver them. As a result, the man was already useless and wasted. After lying down for ten days and half a month, he could never get up again."

"Now they are under the rule of the Grand Commander, and their lives are getting better. They can help others, but they can't waste their intention of being kind to others."

Hearing this, Du Xunhe couldn't help but be speechless. This was obviously the real side behind the things he could hardly see in the charming Chang'an City of Fuhua and the chaos in the world.

Before this, although he had seen the hungry people who died on the road, he also passed them on to them with sympathy and mercy to ridicule the current affairs, in order to spread it and touch the mercy of those who are superior.

Now it seems that he was just wishful thinking childish and naive, and he was not as good as he was here for the short time, thinking that he could do more things as much as he could.

——I am the dividing line—

In Jiangling City, as the weather continues to warm up and the approaching of Yuan Zheng's Day (the first day of the first lunar month), pedestrians on the street are accompanied by increasingly popular shop shelves.

It is densely intertwined among the streets in the city.

Even the sounds on the streets at night have become likable words such as "Fudao extends the new day, celebrates the boundless birthday", "Fudao celebrates the new beginning, and extends the longevity". The Nuo masks (tus) with various appearances, as well as the peach talismans with carved Shentu and Yulei's name, are the most popular hot-selling items in the market.

In the garden industry established by Wang Duo, former prime minister and governor of Jingnan, Zhou Huaian also gathered with several women in his back house, teasing the two pets that were chasing, while chatting about the various things and strange stories they were responsible for in their respective careers.

"So, have you all received the corresponding news of auspicious offerings?"

Zhou Huaian said with a smile.

"This is true. I also showed me a five-color Ganoderma lucidum that was as big as a plate. But as my husband said, I soon leached it in the water." Hong Yaoer, who tried hard to maintain his dignity, but was a little childish, nodded first.

"Hey, I have it too. It is said that a big white turtle was found in the Han River. It is said that the text of the River Chart on the Shell is just right for the saint to be born."

Qingluo, who was gentle and pretty, and had a misty look, raised her hands weakly.

"I have news that when people saw the golden rainbow falling into the mountains, the nine-pointed strange stones appeared...

The elegant, quiet and charming Yao Niang continued to speak.

"Actually, some people say that there are bamboo shoots in the forest like red jade..."

Finally, the tall and plump Cui Wanting added it with a little hesitation.

There are only a few younger girls like Xiaopian. Because they stayed in the inner house for a long time, they have not had the chance to receive similar news.

"Do these people who are impatient to persuade others to do something, do they know how to act in a curve? You must not know that this is the real auspiciousness of our Taiping Army..."

Zhou Huaian couldn't help but smile, and then someone brought a tray.

"This is!!"

Hong Yaoer suddenly looked at Zhou Huaian in surprise, and showed several copper coins as if offering treasures. It looked similar to the names of Kaiyuan Tongbao and Qianyuan Tongbao that were circulated on the market, but the quality was much newer, and there were additional flower ornaments and patterned characters;

Among them, there are both five, ten, twenty, and fifty, but without exception, there are two small characters "Taiping" and thin convex edges.

The good news is that since the Taiping Army had dozens of copper yards and other lead and tin pits from Guiyang Supervisory, and the copper ware and bronze statues in most temples in Lingnan were searched, the source of copper materials that originally needed to be controlled has become relatively abundant.

Therefore, in addition to the planned materials for casting guns, you can also consider the need to mass mint coins.

In fact, in the hydraulic workshops built before, small batches of heated thin copper plates and full-sheet molds have been attempted to punch and forge a batch of experimental bronze coins with hardness and patterns that are quite hard and wear-resistant.

Being able to mint coins by yourself is not only the key to whether the seigniorship can be increased in disguise from the private circulation market, but also the basic sign of whether a regime is mature. Especially among many overseas trades, copper coins from the Central Plains dynasty have been one of the most strong hard currency since ancient times.

Therefore, Zhou Huaian needed to imitate this era, the most famous and most informative Kaiyuan Tongbao, plus the special double-sweet flower decorations and the ink-carved Taiping characters. In this way, a new batch of money styles can be called "Taiping Money", and then directly enter the market circulation through the effective channels controlled by the rebel army.
