Chapter 189: Harvest the Hearts of the People
The handling of Qing refugees is the most important thing in Xiongzhou today. Qin Guan has given a solution. As for the specific operation, Xu Qing, the capable official, can be the best.
According to Xu Qing's words, he is not afraid of doing things, but is afraid of losing money.
And our Master Qin is really not short of money.
The combination of these two people is perfect.
Qin Guan and Xu Qing talked about other things. Qin Guan said: "There is another thing in Xiongzhou now, which is related to the lives of all the people in Xiongzhou, that is, the price of grain."
"I don't know what the adults are going to deal with. Those big grain merchants are all from the Prince of Xiong'an." After Xu Qing said that, he looked at Qin Guan.
In fact, he was still a little confused about Qin Guan's actions last time, especially when such rumors came out in the later period, he doubted whether Qin Guan had reached certain agreements with the Prince of Xiong'an.
"I will deal with the Prince Xiong'an. As for the government office, you will send someone to manage and do the corresponding work, not only the price of grain, but also the prices of other commodities."
Xu Qing nodded to show that he understood.
Xu Qing was about to say goodbye, stood up and took two steps, hesitated for a moment, turned around and asked Qin Guan, "Do you really understand the method of cultivating immortals?"
Qin Guan shook his head and smiled: "You believe those rural rumors, too."
The next day, Xiongzhou Prefecture Office posted a communiqué and began to recruit refugees into the wing army. These refugees finally saw hope of survival, and the applicants were enthusiastic.
At the same time, another group of servants recruited labor teams, over 12 years old and under 60 years old, with no restrictions on men and women. The announcement stated that the first thing the labor team does is to build a house for these refugees themselves.
At the same time, the government has also announced the method of repaying mortgages, paying 30 yuan of bank rent every month and paying for 10 years in a row. From now on, the house will belong to the individual.
It is equivalent to spending three jin and six hundred yuan in 10 years to buy a house.
Not expensive, really not expensive.
30 yuan a month, and the pressure to repay the loan is not high.
Many people shouted about benevolent politics.
On the third day, the government office issued another announcement that Xiongzhou will fully regulate grain prices, and the grain prices shall not be higher than 10% of Dayuan City, and other commodities shall be equivalent.
What the people care about most is naturally the price of goods, which is a matter closely related to their lives.
It turns out that the prices of commodities in Xiongzhou remain high, and these people are suffering from their lives, so they are naturally willing to lower the prices of commodities.
In the past, the princes of Xiong'an monopolized the economy of Xiongzhou and raised prices and plundered the people's money. How could they easily reduce prices?
Many people still couldn't believe this announcement.
Someone ran to the grain merchant, but now the grain price billboard for grain merchants has been changed. Yesterday, one stone of japonica rice was 700 yuan, but today it turned into one stone of 100 yuan, a total of 35% lower.
Someone went to check other products, and now all the products have dropped prices, and the price has dropped very high.
Many people ran around and smiled happily.
"Her second aunt, why did she buy so much food today?"
"The price of grain has been reduced. Now, it only costs 65 o'clock, which is 3 o'clock less than before. And it is open for supply, so I can buy as much as I want. I am afraid that the price will increase again, so I buy more."
A man next to him said, "The government announced that the grain merchants would not allow the price to rise casually, and they would not dare to do anything in the future."
"Who knows, buy more, let's talk about it. Speaking of which, our prefect is really capable. Those grain merchants are all from the Prince of Xiong'an. Wouldn't they behaved in the price cut? If Lord Qin had come a few years ago, we wouldn't have to endure such hardship."
"Yes, Lord Qin has made us a blessing."
Someone next to him said, "Mr. Qin is an immortal who has descended to earth. Does Prince Xiong'an dare not listen? Maybe, now when Prince Xiong'an sees Prince Qin, he will kneel down and call him Master."
Everyone laughed.
The second aunt was carrying food on her back, with a smile on her face. She heard this and said, "No matter whether Lord Qin is a reincarnation of an immortal, as long as he thinks about us people, he is a saint, do you think so."
“Yes, yes.”
A price reduction has allowed Qin Guan to gain the hearts of countless people. Now, the people of Xiongzhou are saying that Qin Guan’s goodness is already spreading from immortals to saints.
Just when the entire Xiongzhou was in full bloom, a cavalry team of more than 100 people was coming towards Xiongzhou City.
The 100-man team ran and raised the smoke and dust on the road. It slowed down when it arrived at the city of Xiongzhou. More than a dozen soldiers came out of Xiongzhou to stop checking. An army general with a helmet and armor immediately drank: "I am Dou Chong, a guerrilla general in Hexi Provincial Government, and took me to see the Qin magistrate of Xiongzhou."
When the city guarding school heard that it was from the provincial government or a guerrilla general, he saw that there were officials in official uniforms in the team, so he did not dare to neglect them. He ran in front of him and led the way. A group of people came to the Xiongzhou Prefectural Office.
When the runners in the prefectural yamen heard that they were from the provincial government, they were still a guerrilla general and a governor-in-chief. They hurried in to report and came out soon after, they asked the two to come in.
The chief and the guerrilla general entered the main hall of the back hall of the government office. When they saw Qin Guan sitting, the chief saluted slightly and said with a stern face: "Prince Qin, Governor Duan, I will send me here to ask why you want to send troops to capture the Prince of Xiong'an."
Qin Guan knew in his heart that it seemed that Song Ke's money played a role, and Governor Duan Zhongqiu came to cause trouble for himself.
Qin Guan said calmly: "There were bandits in Erlongshan who robbed the official grain truck. After being caught, they were told that it was the commander of the Xiong'an County Prince, so I went to call the Xiong'an County Prince to confront each other. As for the arrest, it was impossible to say."
The chief clerk looked at each other with the guerrilla general, as if it was a little different from what they imagined when they came.
The chief minister said: "Is it too hasty to send troops to capture a prince based on the confession of a bandit?"
Qin Guan smiled on his face and said in a faint tone: "The prefect of Xiongzhou has the right to arrest thieves and robbers. Someone told me that the incident involved the prince of Xiong'an. As the prefect, I sent someone to ask him to come and find out if it was not normal."
"If it weren't for his instructions, wouldn't it be nice to explain things clearly when facing each other?"
The chief minister looked at Qin Guan and said, "Prince Qin, I have the order from the governor here, please check it out."
As he said that, he handed Qin Guan a document.
Qin Guan took it and saw that it was the document handed over the case, asking Xiongzhou to hand over the bandit to the provincial government, and the case was handled by the provincial government.
Qin Guan was funny in his heart, and he had used such a method.
Qin Guan finished reading the document, put it aside, and said lightly: "You can leave it to you."
The chief and the guerrilla general were both stunned. They thought that the powerful Xiongzhou prefect might be reluctant, so they prepared a backup plan for this, such as going to the prison to take a look, causing an accident, and killing the bandit.
But unexpectedly, Qin Guan agreed so happily.
