"What! We need to build a river embankment? Good, how much labor will be levied this time!"

"Yes! It's over. As soon as the magistrate of the new county has come, he will mobilize all his troops and repair the river bank with his money!"

"It's a pity for us ordinary people. What's the point of repairing those two rivers? It's watery every spring. What's the use of repairing and repairing?"

"That's right, let the wasteland flood...

When they heard that they wanted to build a river embankment, the people who watched the fun became numb.

His face was bitter and his mood was bad.

You should know that whenever the court makes a big move and recruits labor, most of the people have to work hard labor.

Moreover, such labor is not only free, but also has to take dry food on your own.

Each household has a certain number of days of labor sentence every year.

This is stipulated by the law, and if you don’t go, you will be dealt with according to the law.

The fine is light, and the heavy is heavy and the lock is locked up.

Originally, after the autumn harvest, there were two ways of labor.

First, in the fight, civilians need to transport supplies.

The second is to repair the city.

The city cannot be repaired every year. If the war is fought, the battle with the Turks will end early.

He can't act as a civil servant anymore.

So this year is a good year and you can serve less.

As a result, Nancheng County is now newly established, and it is a great achievement.

The people naturally took it for granted and complained.

"Cough cough, don't make noise." The detective who read the notice coughed:

"I heard that, the construction of reservoirs and river embankments is not forcibly conscription of labor, but voluntarily. The county magistrate has a law. Anyone who goes voluntarily will be responsible for food and accommodation. He only works for five to six hours a day. He can get ten acres of land for one month, twenty acres of land for two months, and fifty acres of land for three months! He can get one hundred acres of land for four months!"

Silk!

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Everyone had their eyes wide open and stared at the talking detective.

The guards of Xiaoyao Mansion spoke out, and they had already seen strong winds and heavy rains.

He continued with a smile:

"The county magistrate has a law. Anyone who knows carpenters, bricklayers, and blacksmiths can also obtain additional money, grain and housing subsidies that match their abilities!"

"What? There is still money, food, housing subsidy?"

Everyone screamed in shock.

It's simply unbelievable.

"Voluntarily going, not to recruit labor! There are such good things in the world?"

"The Sixth Prince is kind and righteous. Only His Royal Highness has such a heroic spirit. He is willing to pity our poor people!"

"I have no hope for subsidies and other things. Even Tian is not there. The main reason is that Your Highness is willing to provide food and accommodation, so I, Ye Xiaoer, have done this with him!"

"That's right, we are not afraid of working, we are not afraid of suffering. As long as we care about our fullness, I, Niu Hanhan, have gone too!"

"I'll go! I'll go too, I'll count me!"

Soon, many people patted their chests and expressed their willingness to repair the reservoir and river embankment.

Nothing is affordable!

In the middle of winter, there is no work to do, so I stay at home and I am idle. A strong laborer has to eat and I don’t know how much food to store.

If you can save this ration, you will make a profit.

The county has food and accommodation, and only works for five to six hours a day, so it is not a harsh person.

So anyone who is not stupid enough to death will suddenly become active.

Just say that if the conditions are not good, you can come back. Anyway, this is not forced labor.

It is a voluntary construction of reservoirs and river embankments.

In addition, this is a good deed, which makes it a waste of money for future generations to make money and go out in the future. You can proudly tell the younger generation that I have done great things.

"Where are you going to register? Today, I'm Zhang Goudan is talking about this. I'm the first to sign up..."

"Don't worry, starting tomorrow, we will set up points at the south gate of each yard, and in each township outside the city, so that everyone who wants to go will have a chance. You can rest assured that our Nancheng County has a wealthy finance. This year, we will only do one big thing, and the money will be used on the knife..."

After hearing this, the people around him felt relieved and applauded:

"Okay! Great! Nancheng County Wannian! Nancheng County Wannian..."

The news soon spread wildly.

The reservoir embankment is not yet employed.

This is simply unheard of, and unheard of.

For a moment, the entire Chang'an was discussing this matter and covered all the previous news.

Moreover, this is different from the past. The big news in the past is closely related to the common people.

Most people are engaging in the mentality of eating melons.

The so-called matter is not related to it, and it is hang up high.

Only when it comes to yourself will you pay close attention to it seriously and closely.

And it continues.

The news came to the eyes and ears of all parties who were already paying attention to Ye Qing's movements.

It really surprised the people from all sides.

Then there is confusion.

What tricks Ye Qing plays this time!

Xiaoyao Mansion is so rich.

If you want to have food and accommodation, if you want to go there for 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, will Xiaoyao Mansion have the financial support?

Even if you give them porridge and bran every day, it would be an astronomical figure.

"Nothing! It's nothing, does he have to be innovative?" Ye Zhen, who heard the news, directly took a photo of the dragon throne in the imperial study.

I won’t mention the reservoir, which I have never heard of, the river bank alone has been busy for several years.

And there are two rivers as soon as you get up.

How can it be done?

Not slapping labor is even more a joke.

How could the little money in Xiaoyao Mansion support it?

"Go, let Ye Qing withdraw the notice to me, don't embarrass the Great Zhou!" Ye Zhen became more and more angry as he thought about it, and this time he had to intervene.

If Ye Qing continued to do this, this newly built new county would probably have been in ruins in just a few months.

"No!" Someone replied, and then went down to pass the decree.

As soon as the man arrived in front of the palace gate, Ye Zhen said again: "Wait, come back, don't go first, summon Liu Buren to me!"

In the evening, Dong Bai returned to Dong's mansion.

There was a manager waiting in front of the door.

"Young Master Bai, the head of the family said, go to his study after you come back."

"Grandpa is looking for me!"

Dong Bai seemed to think of something, nodded, then packed up his belt, patted the dust on his body, and then went to see Dong Huang.

Pushing the door, Dong Huang inside was staring at a pair of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.

After Dong Bai closed it, Dong Huangtou asked without replying:

"The news spread outside is true!"

Dong Bai bowed and replied, "Grandpa, the news is true, is it because my grandson listened to the orders from His Highness Six, or is it because my grandson personally picked up the pen and recorded the document files."

"What does he want to do? This makes no sense!" Dong Huang continued to stare at the calligraphy and painting, frowned, as if he was pressing down with a huge burden.

Clouds and mountains are surrounded by mist, and you can never get out of the maze.

"My grandson couldn't figure it out. From his tone, he just wanted to build the reservoir and the river embankment." Dong Bai thought for a while and added:

"I had a great time with Guo Jia. It can be seen that the people in Xiaoyao Mansion were not doing it, but really wanted to do it. The purpose of all this seemed to be to turn the wasteland outside the south city into a granary.

They have been planning for this for more than a day or two. And I am determined to devote everything to doing it.”
