Chapter 115 Unexpectedly

"Da Liushu Village--" Looking at the stone tablet erected at the entrance of the village, Xia Qiang silently thought in his heart. The village he remembered, Chang Wei inspected the autumn grain because he was beaten in this village and was blamed by Du Zhongxiao. Qiu Shilong, who participated on the same day, was still Xia Qiang's entourage this time.

Baozhengguan Chaoyin brought the village elders to welcome the village entrance early. When he saw Xia Shu and his party coming, he came over to salute early.

When he arrived at Guanchaoyinyuan, Xia Sheng ordered several important figures from the village to stay, and the rest disperse.

It was summer at this time, and the weather was hot, so I set up a few tables in the yard and set up a banquet. The wine and meat were bought by Du Zhongxiao, who ordered people to use the ministerial money for the field business. Xia Shu knew that he didn't say anything. He went to the local area to inspect, and of course he had to use public funds to entertain him. In fact, he should use the money from the Bozhou ministerial warehouse. However, Yongcheng County and the field business were both rich, and Xia Shu was happy to leave the ministerial money for the state to use.

After getting tea, Xia Shu asked Guan Baozheng to sit beside him and asked, "Brother-in-law, you need multiple insurance companies to protect yourself according to five households. Or do you have a large insurance policy in your village? You can do all the affairs of the official position?"

Guan Baozheng said: "When I go back to my husband, there are indeed five households and one insurance company in the village, but there are not many affairs, and I have always served by myself."

Xia Xu nodded: "Yes, the regulations are dead, and people are alive. As long as the affairs are smooth, there is no need to do so many servants."

Du Zhongxiao listened and nodded secretly. The so-called five households and one insurance policy, five guarantees are one major guarantee, but it was actually a bureaucrat who moved them according to the military organization. The village is different from the army. There is no need to be so rigid and the system cannot be used as a result of the footsteps. Xia Shu was clear about government affairs, and what should be done and what should not be done, and he felt like a mirror. It was actually difficult to hide it from him.

Xia Shun is a person with poor popularity and is prone to making enemies with others. He can rise all the way, so he doesn't have to doubt his ability.

After looking around the yard, there were several thatched houses on the north side, and a small vegetable garden on the south side. Xia Shu asked: "Do County Magistrate Du and the families in the field business are all in this way? It costs a lot to build such a house."

Du Zhongxiao bowed: "When I returned to Xianggong, most of the villages of Yingtianwu were like this. The houses were built by the villagers. Yingtianwu helped mobilize the villagers and worked together to build them quickly. Every family has their own private fields and the grains produced are disposed of in the courtyard."

Xia Su nodded, thought about it in his mind, and said nothing. Such a house has little material cost, the walls are made of loess, and most of the grass is made of reeds, and they are all made of local materials. The field management can help solve manpower problems and can still be built.

A well pressed beside him aroused Xia Shu's interest and pointed at him and asked, "Does the families in the field have such a well?"

Guan Chaoyin said: "When I returned to my husband, every well has it, but some people still can't afford it. After collecting grain this year, eight households in the village have decorated this item. In another two or three years, every family will be able to use it."

Xia Shu said: "When it comes to harvest, my father, how are your family this year? This time, the land management and land management have been released to the state for 5,000 guan. How many of you are left behind? The court collects taxes, and it is better not to harm the people."

Guan Chaoyin smiled and said, "To be honest, the land responsibilities of the country are different from other places. We villagers do not bear tax and grain. The public fields are planted together and harvested together. According to the amount of work, we will divide some grain home. The taxes to be paid have long been deducted by the land commerce. This year, the village planted 600 acres of wheat, which produced more than 1,000 stones. The villagers divided about 500 stones, and the family was more than 10 stones. The remaining 500 stones were used for land commerce. Isn't it enough to pay summer tax? Each family has more than 10 stones of wheat, and their lives are still abundant."

After hearing this, Xia Feng stopped asking. There is no problem with paying two taxes for the field business. In fact, according to the system here, the field business is the only landlord in so many villages. In the world, the two taxes are usually collected by one stone and one dou of tax. As the owner of the land, the field business is able to collect five dou of a mu, so of course it is easy to pay the tax. The field business is a system that Xia Feng is interested in. He does not doubt the ability to pay the tax here, but just to see if Du Zhongxiao has managed it.

As the few people spoke, Luo Jing directed the public officials of the camp and field affairs to serve wine and food.

Xia Feng picked up the wine glass and whispered: "The summer grain has been harvested this year, so everyone can drink it."

After drinking for three rounds, Xia Shu asked several elderly people from the village to call the table and ask about the situation in the village.

Du Zhongxiao remained silent while listening quietly to Xia Shu and a group of old people. Most of these people moved from nearby, all of whom were poor families with no money. When they arrived at the farming and farming, they had their own houses and their own land, and in prehistoric terms, they had surplus grain at home, and were very satisfied with their current life. They were grateful to the court and the government, and naturally they flattered Xia Shu.

Seeing Xia Shu's face getting better and better, Du Zhongxiao's heart was not fluctuating. This was a result he had made in two years, but there was no adulteration. People's happiness came from the heart. The last time in Bozhou, Xia Shu showed his appreciation for the field business system. Now he is sitting here in person and listening to the villagers saying compliments, and he is more sure that this system is worth promoting.

Seeing Du Zhongxiao silent, Xia Xu said: "County magistrate, these people were still out of food and clothing two years ago. Now they have sufficient food and clothing and have a happy life. They are all your contributions. As an official and a blessing to the countryside, you should receive rewards from the court if you do this."

Du Zhongxiao bowed: "It's all what the officials should do, but fortunately they have not been in disgrace to the mission of the court."

Xia Sheng nodded repeatedly: "You have done a great job in the field. Before coming here, I was afraid that you were young and were so energetic that you would be too immense to make meritorious contributions and to strip the people under your rule. Now it seems that the government warehouse of the field has accumulated and the people have surplus grain, which is very rare. To be honest, Yongcheng County has paid Qixia Tax this time in a month. This is the first time I have seen it for decades. If Yongcheng County is like the field here, and it is not stripped of the people, it is a rare merit. As long as the visit is accurate, I will return to the city and ask the court for you!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "My husband is polite to the people, which is a blessing for all people. When the subordinates govern the local area, they should submit their orders to the people. How dare they strip the local area? My husband rest assured that Yongcheng used the summer tax to complete one month because the county had surplus wealth, and it was definitely not robbed from the people."

Seeing Du Zhongxiao's calm expression and no false appearance, Xia Xu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you did it well! But this matter has never been done before. I have to be cautious and inspected and investigated in person. Otherwise, I will report your merits. This is not the case. If you are impeached by the Caosi, your future career will be difficult. I will check this time, and you will be happy. As long as things are as you report, there will be nothing wrong!"

Du Zhongxiao stood up and bowed and bowed: "You have always been cautious when you are a low-ranking official and will definitely not make your husband embarrassed."

Xia Sheng nodded with a smile, drank a glass of wine with Du Zhongxiao, and asked him to sit down. Qiao Baoping, who had called him to come and ask him how much harvest the summer grain farming business this year, in addition to tax payment, how many more there are in the warehouses in the field farming business, and how many people have allocated them.

Du Zhongxiao had already ordered Qiao Baoping in advance, and Xia Shun asked and answered clearly. Seeing that this person was so capable, Xia Shun nodded repeatedly.

Asking Qiao Baoping to retreat, Xia Feng said to Du Zhongxiao: "As I said just now, the land management warehouse has nearly 10,000 stones, which is enough to support these villages to resist natural disasters. When they are harvested after autumn, there will be a little more grain reserves. Have you ever thought about how to deal with it?"

Du Zhongxiao bowed: "I'm back to my husband, here is close to the Bian River. If you have too much grain, you can sell it. In addition to farming, farming and other farming services, the money you get from selling can be used as capital. Such money and food are the way to last."

Xia Xu nodded: "I heard that the farming commerce today is related to the outstanding farm tools you made. After seeing the village, I will go to see those commerce with you. If this place is done well, you can build it in other places in the future."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and said that it was. At this time, the transportation was underdeveloped, and in fact, the national market was impossible to form, especially agricultural tools, which can only bloom everywhere. Not to mention this era, Du Zhongxiao's previous life, when the transportation was underdeveloped, he could only divide the market by counties.
