Chapter 832: Nine New Surnames Migrated to the Mainland
Chen Mo, the village chief of Liangpo Village, was very supportive of the various methods proposed by Zhou Changyu. He found that Zhou Changyu was much better than the last village official.
The methods he said were all complete, and he would also help apply for funds and subsidies.
If you ask him for details, he will explain them clearly and clearly, making people feel that they are feasible.
In this case, the village has money, why should we let others in? If you want to make more money, make more money.
Zhou Changyu started to get busy in Liangpo Village, and other officials in other villages also tried their best.
There are many sandy beaches near the river, so let everyone raise more ducks.
There are places at the foot of the mountain, where the mountain is a small hill and distributed in the form of hills, so let the villagers raise more chickens.
There are also natural ponds, where lotus roots, fish and shrimps are raised.
Organize people to make snacks together and sell them outside.
The nearby rivers are relatively good, and a group of water mills are built to help with the rough processing of grain.
The variety of Chinese medicine on the mountain is good, suitable for the growth of certain Chinese medicines, and large-scale artificial planting.
There are minerals that can be used as fertilizers and other minerals nearby, and people are organized to identify and mine them.
Every official worked very hard and arranged things according to the specific conditions of the village where he was.
The previous official did a good job and left a beginning, so he continued to develop along with others, without competing for the credit or changing.
Many officials cannot follow the rules of others, unless the previous local official did not leave, but was promoted, then they will follow.
Otherwise, the new official would think that such a good method was not proposed by himself, and if it was done well, wouldn’t it increase political discipline for others?
No, change it, change it, and don’t do this at all.
The 220 officials who left Lijiazhuangzi didn’t think so. What the previous people left was indeed good, so they continued to promote it. What the people need is a good life.
The villagers in the villages within the Jingzhao Prefecture were satisfied, especially those who were worried that they would make money by following the methods of the previous people.
They also considered that if the officials of Lijiazhuangzi asked them to change, would they change it themselves?
As a result, not only did they not change, but they also helped to improve it and praised the predecessor for doing a good job.
…
The imperial examination was going on for a day. Those who didn’t know the answer left early.
Those who knew the answer continued to answer, and those who needed an interview were waiting for arrangements.
In Tianshang Renjian, Song Jing and four others gathered together. They had gone to the examination room before, and they were going to take a walk before leaving get off work.
“It’s so quiet now that Yuan Zhi and others have left.” Bi Gou looked at Wei Zhigu and said.
Wei Zhigu didn’t think that his position as Shangshu was any worse than that of the prime ministers. His salary was a little lower, but the benefits given by Lijiazhuang were quite a lot.
The key was that if he had something to do in the Ministry of Works, he could ask Li Yi for help, and there was King Song for help.
“Today, many candidates went to take the Mingfa exam, and there was no shortage of candidates for Mingfa.” Wei Zhigu talked about the exam.
The candidates who lived in the building outside Lijiazhuang helped the people with lawsuits for free, and they took turns.
Of course, they had to study thoroughly, and they also communicated with each other.
When it was time to take the imperial examination, they found that other subjects were not stable, but Mingfa was stable.
Everyone discussed and decided to take the Mingfa exam. If they passed, at least they would have a way out. If they failed, they would be ashamed to see their hometown elders.
They thought that Mingfa was not good, and the Xiucai exam was the best, but it was a pity that it was not held. The next best was the Jinshi exam, but it was too difficult to pass.
"Those candidates, it can be said that Li Yi helped them a little. If they passed the Mingfa exam, they would have the hope of becoming a chief official in the future."
Song Jing felt a little regretful that Li Yi did not help those candidates take the Jinshi exam.
The candidates learned the law well at work and had to take the exam.
"The new candidates from the prefecture are too impetuous, answer questions quickly, and have no foundation." Su Yan criticized the new candidates.
They have never been village officials in the village, so they have little experience. I have never heard of any famous candidates in this session, which means they have traveled little.
Such candidates have a low chance of passing the exam, and even if they pass the exam, they still cannot get a good position.
When the 220 students in Lijia Village manage the village well, who will not be arranged?
For a higher position, look at the 42 students.
How many positions are there in the court?
"Xiao Yi has been quiet for the past two days. Something is going to happen." Bi Gou began to think about another problem.
It has been more than ten days. Why hasn't Li Yi made any trouble?
The women in the Lijiazhuangzi settlement area have new jobs. This doesn't count. They have always had jobs.
There are also people who ask each kiln to burn large pottery jars. They don't require the outside to be very smooth, but the price must be low and thick enough.
Needless to say, the larger the pottery jar, the thicker it is. If it is thin, it can't withstand water.
"Copying books, right? I heard that you will be given a set of books to teach auditing."
Su Yan didn't know enough about this and thought that Li Yi's copying books would delay other things.
"What are you afraid of? When the enemy comes, the general will stop it, and when the water comes, the earth will cover it." Song Jing was scared and shouted to give himself courage.
Wei Zhigu said: "It's a candidate who has been a village official. I think he did a good job in answering questions."
"Being an official in the local area and having experienced it, you will consider problems when you are experiencing it. It's useless to hold poetry meetings on weekdays." Bi Gou understood this.
The other three nodded, agreeing that the examinees had indeed learned a lot from being minor officials in the localities, and at least they could arrange their lives well.
Other results would be known after the exam.
…
"This time there are more people, nearly 130,000 people, will they be moved to the inland areas, or will they set up military defenses in the original places?"
At night in Lijiazhuangzi, Li Longji and his family were eating hot pot.
The little guy wiped his tears and refused to eat the red skewers after tasting the spicy ones. If he insisted, let him taste them.
Li Longji eats spicy food. The cold in spring is different from winter. He feels cold from the inside out.
Wear too much, get angry, wear too much, catch a cold.
The people work a lot and exercise a lot. As long as the house is a little warmer, they will be satisfied.
Li Longji asked about the new Tiele Nine Surnames who surrendered, more than 130,000 people.
"Relocate, don't set up the Tianbing Army in Bingzhou, which consumes too much money and food. Huazhou and Tongzhou can continue to be equipped and terraced fields can be repaired."
Li Yi chose to migrate and put people outside. They could not contribute to the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty had to help them.
Entering the inland, farming solved their own livelihoods and increased the products for the Tang Dynasty.
"Or do you buy land?" Li Longji followed the previous operation.
"Their income also has to be counted on me. I don't mind spending that little money on buying land." Li Yi had no objection.
"Okay!" Li Longji agreed. He felt that it would be safer to put the people in Li Yi's hands.
The more than 30,000 households that surrendered last year have been very obedient. They learned to do manual work and studied the words of the Tang Dynasty seriously.
In the spring, the farm manure was transported to the mountains first, and they were ready to grow grain to exchange for debts and become free people.
Intelligence showed that those people cherished the items at home very much. After cooking every day, they would clean the pots.
In the past, they had half a piece of clay pot, which was used for cooking. Now they have an iron pot and seem to be very satisfied.
It is said that they are trying hard to learn to make new dishes and know that the oil should be cooked before putting the vegetables in, otherwise the taste will not be good.
