Chapter 350 Interests

It is also because the old concept has not been completely changed.

During the Xia Dynasty, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, but ended at the county level. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the order in the countryside was gentry and powerful. The people directly faced them, not official officials of the Ming court. By the end of the Ming court, the control of the court was weakened to the extreme, and these people became real local emperors. The so-called deceiving superiors and concealing subordinates, the gentry and powerful people in the countryside were the most important.

There are any government decrees issued by the central government? When it comes to the level of the gentry and powerful people in the countryside, they are most distorted. Once the people believe them, they will most likely suffer losses in the end. Once or twice, they will not count. If they come down many times, no matter how foolish they are, the people will have doubts about the gentry.

There are quite a few like Qin Wu. They still regard the current village chief as a gentry of the previous dynasty. They believe in the government, but have doubts about the village chief's level.

Today's government is different from the past. Every new policy and the implementation of the new law can be seen, so the government's credit is gradually established. Qin Wu came to Jiangning for dozens of miles to see it, hear it with his own eyes, and confirm that the edict conveyed by the village chief was indeed issued by the government.

The crowds entering and leaving Jiangning were bustling with people, including groups of carriages and horses, and shoulder to shoulder. After entering the city, you could see one or two people dressed in red every other mile, who were the grassroots law enforcement officers under the Imperial Law Department.

Once something happens on the street, someone will have conflicts and disrupt order, and they will be responsible for solving it as soon as possible.

Qin Wu knew these people and knew that when he encountered public security troubles, he could find them as soon as possible.

However, the issues related to government orders were not subject to the law enforcement of red clothes. Qin Wu went straight to the county government office.

Yingtian is a prefecture-level district, and Jiangning is the capital of Yingtian. It is a county, so there are naturally county yamen. Jiangning is also Ganzhou, a newly replaced state-level district in Nanzhili. Therefore, this place has the three government offices of the prefecture-level government offices, government offices and county offices.

Qin Wu also knew that as a person from Jiangning County, he should go to the county government for consultation on the issues he wanted to know.

Like Qin Wu, there were endless people going to the county government to consult about the policy of moving people. Along the way, there were more than three or five men gathered together to talk about this matter.

Therefore, before he arrived at the county government, Qin Wu already knew about it.

However, he did not turn around and left, but still looked at the county government office. When he arrived at the county government office, he could not enter the yamen directly, but was a courtyard next to the yamen. This courtyard was an open courtyard and the first notice for Jiangning County Government to post a government order.

If the government issues new government orders, a written notice will be posted here first. Then there will be some places such as city gates, inns and other places.

The courtyard is not small, but it is bustling inside with almost crowds.

One of the high platforms is the notice office on the high platforms. Two officials read the notice over and over again. The people who listened to the notice squeezed out and those who didn't hear it squeezed in again.

Qin Wu finally squeezed in and heard: "... The king attacked and destroyed the Eastern Barbarians. Because Liaodong was fertile and vast, the land was sparse, so he ordered the people to be moved, mainly voluntarily. If the villagers were interested, they could register first at the village chief, and then organized by the county government to migrate to Liaodong. Those who arrived in Liaodong could obtain 40 acres of land per capita, without taxes for three years, and those who were highly respected were given titles to the people, enjoy the honorary people's titles, enjoy the honorary family, and bring honor to the ancestors..."

Qin Wu listened, and his heart finally completely let go.

What the village chief said was finally confirmed here, and his worries and expectations were finally relieved.

However, the official did not finish it once, and continued: "...In addition to moving people from Liaodong, there are also government orders for moving people from the southern desert grassland and the Yunnan-Guizhou border. Those who wish to move the southern desert grassland will be granted a hundred acres of grassland per person, without taxes for three years, and can also receive livestock and cubs without interest from the local government. After the development, the government is responsible for repurchasing, with rich profits and can make a fortune... Those who wish to move people from Yunnan-Guizhou can be granted a hundred acres of land per person, and can participate in the government's thorn vine planting project, and have a long-term future..."

Only then did Qin Wu realize that the policy of moving people was not just one in Liaodong, there were also the grasslands in the south of the desert and the border of Yunnan and Guizhou. These two places were also very different from Liaodong. In Liaodong, they were still mainly farming, while in grassland, they were mainly raising livestock. In Yunnan and Guizhou, they could participate in the planting of thorn vine in governments.

This made Qin Wu a little confused for a while.

After a long time, he squeezed out in a silence, stood by the door and took a breath, and strode back to the same route. He had decided on this matter, but he still couldn't make up his mind where to choose. He needed to go back and discuss with the wife.

In the courtyard, the sound of the officials' voices that were already hoarse, were still ringing over and over again.

The target of the policy of moving people was not entirely ordinary people. When the policy was promoted by the densely populated areas in Jiangnan, officials from all over the country also gathered all the local merchants and gentry.

People have good and bad, businessmen have good and evil, and so are gentry.

After the army's purge, the merchants and gentry who are still active are all those who do business sincerely, have sincerely built bridges and roads, and have never bullied and harmed the people. At least they have never violated Ying Yi's bottom line.

The government still attaches great importance to these people. At this stage, they are still people who control most of the means of production and wealth in this society.

The county magistrate of Jiangning County was sitting upright, holding a bowl of tea and drinking. Nearly a hundred good merchants and gentry under the hall were reading a document word by word.

The county magistrate put down the tea bowl and said, "I believe that you have read the official documents and have already understood the policy of the emperor's migration of people."

All the good merchants and gentry said this.

County Zun said: "The migration of ordinary people is the mainstream, but as the backbone of operating order, circulation of commerce, and spreading virtues, the emperor also has some requirements."

He said: "Liaodong, the south of the Mo, and the clouds and Guizhou are all border areas. They have always been bitter and cold. However, the so-called bitter and cold is not literally meaning, but a place that has been beyond the reach of dynasties and lawlessness. However, the ambition of the king is beyond the reach of all dynasties, and things that cannot be solved in previous dynasties are easy to deal with. Although Liaodong is cold, the land is fertile and the land is vast and sparsely populated. Once developed, it is no less than that of the corn town in Jiangnan. The south of the desert is desolate, but it has descended for thousands of years. It has also nurtured many powerful Tartars who have become enemies of our summers. The grasslands are endless and countless livestock are raised. Once developed, the benefits can be imagined."

This statement was recognized by everyone, but everyone still felt hesitant.

The county magistrate saw clearly and smiled and said, "Your Highness said: All summer summers have never left China, but have lived in a small place, without any progressive people. It is because they have never found benefits in the 'harsh and cold' places. You have the heart to capture the world, so you don't have to worry about the stability of Liaodong, Monan and other places. The army will continue to explore. Now, Monan will soon have Mobei and a wider world. The order in Monan will never be chaotic, and will get better and better."
