His Majestic Prince in Sanliting regretted it as soon as he returned to his hometown. Didn’t he say he had a meal at Qintang’s house, but he came back without even drinking water. What should I eat tonight?

The robbers on the road all pay attention to robbing half of the rice. The more they rob, the more they rob. The more they rob, the more they are, the better they are. They just take the rice in a pot and don’t even keep them. What’s the difference between this and the one who eats a lot?

Unfortunately, the few people had to go up the mountain to hunt and decided to stay in the mountain overnight. If they live in the village, they would not be able to get things back in the middle of the night. Although both sides knew what was going on, it would be better not to expose it.

Do the whole show.

A few people were in the mountain for one night. When they came back in the morning, they all returned to their positions. More than a dozen oxen were tied to the newly nailed wooden stakes, mooing and mooing. Who planted the wooden stakes?

Cao Sheng looked at the supplies in the room and said with a smile: "The man surnamed Qin is quite a good person. Lao Ren, check it out if there are any fewer ones. If there are fewer ones, go to Qin Tang to ask for it. The same thing is said, I can give it to him but not rob it. This is the rule."

"clear."

Ren Tao took out a list of materials and took a look at them one by one. After finishing the matter, he said, "There are many agricultural tools and oxen. As for the grain, we don't have a scale, so we can't tell if we have a few pounds."

Cao Sheng said generously: "That's it, Lao Huan, go to Sanliting and ask Qin Tang to take the cow away for a few days. We are in the township yamen and not the cow pen. Let our brothers raise them. In ten days, the people of the township can eat beef."

Serve livestock is also a skilled job. They have no ability to feed cattle, so they can only keep Qin Tang temporarily. Qin Tang dared not refuse, so they rushed to take the cattle away and restored the purity to the township yamen.

Cao Sheng naturally would not be idle after the conference. He brought a few horsemen and the county policeman who accompanied Ren Tao to clean up the house and create tables and chairs.

The doors and windows were destroyed by that bastard from Qin Tang and had to be reinstalled, and the desk had not been remade. The key is that the broken beds must be replaced, otherwise it would be a waste of time.

These things are too troublesome to transport from the county, so it’s better to make them yourself. Now you have axe and saw blades, so it’s not too easy to get some ordinary furniture.

After this, Qin Tang was completely impressed by Cao Sheng. He came to the township yamen every day and took the villagers to work hard. In just a few days, the weeds and feces in the township yamen were cleaned up, and even the air was filled with a fragrant breath, which was incomparable to the time when they first came.

Ten days passed quickly, and the village chief who attended the meeting at noon arrived one after another.

As the grassroots officials of the Great Wei Dynasty, these village officials do not have the arrogance that only officials above the seventh rank or above have. They look extremely simple on the outside. They wear thin pants and vests in the cold weather, revealing their chests, gathering in groups of three or five whispering, and pointing at the farm tools in the room from time to time.

It was already noon. Before the meeting, why did you have to take care of the meal first? Deng Ai made a fire in the kitchen and smoke curled up. Not long after, the fragrance of the meal came out. Cao Sheng asked everyone to enjoy it.

Lunch is very simple, a bowl of white rice plus a few pickles and one dried fish.

Despite this, the village officials still ate like starving ghosts, and even licked the bottom of the bowl after eating.

The meeting started after drinking and eating, and the hall couldn't sit down, so I had to move out the chair and let everyone sit in the yard.

The village officials were undisciplined and still whispered continuously while sitting down. Cao Sheng had no choice but to shout: "Quiet..." His voice successfully scared everyone and attracted their gaze. Cao Sheng then said: "In Xialu Shen, I am appointed as the head of Muxi Township under the order of the court. I hope you will take care of me in the future and work together to build a beautiful home."

His dialect is not very skilled, and he is not a local official, and the locals cannot understand it. The outsiders cannot understand it, so he had to repeat it in the official language and let Qin Tang translate it again. Xiang Feng monitors Qin Tang to see if he has added fuel to the fire and tampered with his meaning.

This old boy dares to steal even the township yamen and what else can he dare not do?

After being translated by Qin Tang, although the faces of the village officials were relaxed, they did not feel much warm. They were all working people, only caring about the actual benefits, not catching colds with these stupid things, and they did not trust the Han people very much.

After listening to Qin Tang's explanation, Cao Sheng changed his mind and continued: "Now that the Great Wei Dynasty unified the world, His Majesty the Emperor loves the people and makes a special order, and all minorities who surrender are exempt from taxes for five years."

Names like barbarians and the barbarians have some contempt. In order to dispel concerns and gain favor from local people, it is better to use the title of father.

Sure enough, when they heard the duty-free village officials were immediately excited. Although they did not have to pay taxes like the imperial court in recent years, they had to pay tribute to their subordinate leaders. 70% to 80% of their annual income was handed over to the leaders, and the little they left behind was only enough to save their lives.

The chief collects taxes for them, but they are also protection. The Han people have never dealt with them. Many Han officials will regard attacking the barbarians as capital for promotion. Without the leader's protection, they might have become the Han people's sword ghosts long ago.

Last year, the leaders followed the pseudo-Han to evacuate, and they were worried for a while, fearing that the Wei army would break into the front and make them all crack.

Before coming to the meeting, they were worried, afraid that the new township chief would make unreasonable requests to continue exploiting them and collect heavier taxes from them. Unexpectedly, not only did they not, but also exempted everyone from taxes for five years. Is this sure that I am not dreaming?

Cao Sheng saw their doubts and continued, "His Majesty the Emperor said that no matter the Han, barbarians, the people of the Great Wei people, as long as they live in the territory of the Great Wei, they should be treated equally..." After talking for more than half an hour, his lips were almost worn out, and finally made the village officials believe that the court really cared for everyone. The village officials were excited and whispered in groups again. Cao Sheng did not stop him, at least giving them some time to digest.

Later, the materials brought this time began to be distributed, and the agricultural tools were distributed according to the population of each Ting and village. At the moment, they could not be distributed to each household and could only be distributed to the village for everyone to take turns to use. As for the same oxen, they were divided into twelve and left three for spare.

Many times, no matter how scattered it is, it is not practical to make people excited. When the villagers get the things, they change their faces again, pulling Cao Sheng with such enthusiasm.

Cao Sheng took the opportunity to propose migration, so that they could be mentally prepared, and told them that regardless of tax exemption, distribution of oxen and farm tools or migration, they were all for the purpose of making everyone's lives better and better. Whether it was the court or the Muxi Township Office, they did not have to rely on exploiting them to find a sense of existence, so that everyone could feel at ease.

After hearing this, the village officials all smiled happily and were full of hope for their future life.

Let’s talk about what happened in the future, but now I have to face a very painful problem. They can’t handle so many farm tools and iron tools. These are all pure iron. One pound is weighing several pounds, and dozens of handfuls are easy to carry. It’s a bit nonsense to walk on a mountain road with a dozen miles on your back.

Despite their unwillingness, they still had to accept Cao Sheng's suggestion and store the tools in Sanliting in Qintang, and then draw people to pick them up.

The damn town chief said that he didn't say he had sent anything during the meeting. If he had known this, he would have brought a few more people here.
