Chapter 417: Reconstruction of Xiangyang County (1)

Views:

The epicenter of the earthquake was near Shangjing, so Shangjing suffered the heaviest losses.

Xiangyang County is on the edge of Fengyi County, some distance from the epicenter.

When the earthquake happened, the earthquake here was not as strong as in Shangjing, and the losses were not as heavy as in Shangjing.

It's just that the time of the earthquake is too irritating, who doesn't sleep in the middle of the night

Therefore, there are still more than 10,000 people on Huangquan Road in their sleep.

After experiencing the torment of the earthquake, and then being devastated by the Tsing Yi Army, today's Xiangyang County is in desperate need of reconstruction.

If you can look down from the sky, everyone can find that at least one-third of the buildings in this place are in a state of abandonment.

Facing the devastated Xiangyang County, Jiang Pengji packed up and ordered Buqu and the Imperial Army to urgently clean up the ruined buildings.

No matter what, there is always a place to sleep in the open for the people of Shangjing.

She pinched her brows, thinking of the situation in Xiangyang County, she couldn't help but complain, "This Xiangyang County is no better than Shangjing..."

Feng Jin took a nap, and now he has regained some energy.

He said, "Heaven will give a great responsibility to the people, and they must first suffer their minds and wills, work their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions... The words of the sages and sages are still reasonable. Everything begins with Difficult, Xiangyang County is now in a mess, and it is difficult and difficult to rebuild on top of the ruins. But if the lord passes this hurdle, he will surely soar into the sky.”

Jiang Pengji rolled her eyes secretly, she is not a monkey, what the hell.

However, Feng Jin's words still made her feel better. With a big wave of her hand, she invited a few subordinates to a meeting.

She doesn't like to play tricks, and she doesn't like to listen to nutritious nonsense, so she goes straight to the point and goes straight to the point.

"After the earthquake and the ravages of the Tsing Yi Army of the Nine Generals, today's Xiangyang County can be described as impoverished and devastated."

Jiang Pengji opened her head, and everyone sat down. There was only fresh tea and fresh water at the table.

"Let's not talk about the details, the main problems we are facing now are rebuilding Xiangyang County and recruiting troops, in order to strengthen the defense of Xiangyang County. While rebuilding Xiangyang County, we must be ready to go to war at any time. Prepare. The size of the Tsing Yi Army is far larger than we imagined, not to mention the Red Lotus Sect, which is on the same level as the Tsing Yi Army. These are potential hidden dangers and enemies in Xiangyang County. Now, we can't rely on anyone, we can only rely on ourselves." Jiang Pengji The last sentence is deeply resentful.

The crowd took it for granted.

It's just that no matter which one it is, it will take a huge amount of manpower, material resources and time, but Jiang Pengji is very poor now.

This poverty does not mean that she lacks food or money, she lacks people!

Thanks to the audience in the live broadcast room for generously donating money and giving her money, she temporarily trapped the little goblin in the system, and the popularity points in her hand were enough to squander her, allowing her to easily support these tens of thousands of people. Not to mention how well you eat, at least you won't starve to death.

As for money

She "borrowed" the money from so many families in Shangjing before, and the accumulation was considerable enough to last her until this winter.

She added, "Last night, I sent someone to count the prisoners in Tsing Yi. The number was 1,781, of which 90% were young men between the ages of thirteen and thirty. I also counted the population of Xiangyang County. After checking the information in the county government, I found that there are 5,000 to 10,000 young and strong people, plus the people who came to Beijing with us... If all of them are put into corvée service, I think as long as you make a detailed plan, execute step by step, and enter the winter It's not impossible to rebuild Xiangyang County before."

Hearing this, Luo Yue frowned, "Corrupt?"

Feng Jin said leisurely, "The meaning of the lord should be paid corvée. The people contribute, and the lord contributes money and food. It can not only ensure the food and clothing of the people, but also rebuild Xiangyang County. The lord is not rich now, and his family property is limited. Even if the people don't do anything, the lord can't let them starve to death, and food should be given. Instead, it is better to find something for people to do."

Corrupt labor is unpaid physical labor. Now the people are living in hardships and have no food to eat. If they are allowed to work for free, Jiang Pengji's good reputation will be completely ruined. Even if others ask her to do it, she will not be able to die like this.

In special times, cash-for-work is an excellent method in itself.

She has done this before, so Feng Jin and others are not wrong.

Of course, unpaid corvée has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is normal for Luo Yue to misunderstand.

"Even so... There are probably not many people willing to respond, especially the local people in Xiangyang County."

Qi Guanrang shook his feather fan, his brows were tired, but his eyes were bright, and he continued to use a slightly sarcastic tone, "Their family has money and grain storage, and they can harvest autumn grain after autumn, and there is no shortage of corvée. food for labor."

The Tsing Yi army raged, plundering the properties of many wealthy squires, and plundering a family to eat enough to eat, and they did not look down on ordinary people at all.

Therefore, there is still grain storage in the people's homes, and they have a certain confidence. There is no need to sell their labor at all, and there is a high possibility of rejecting corvée.

After he finished speaking, Qi Guanrang snorted in a low voice, with a little contempt in his eyes.

Meng Hun listened, and whispered a suggestion, "Would you like to increase the salary?"

Jiang Pengji's eyes are very helpless, is she just like a local tyrant

"Your lord, I'm poor, how can you provide so much money? The house wasn't built for me, they..." She put her fingers together and snorted, suddenly thinking of something, and having an idea in her heart, "However, it's not for nothing. The solution. In Xiangyang County, countless buildings collapsed due to the earthquake, and many houses and sites were left vacant. If there is no family inheritance, according to the law, the confiscated buildings will be recovered…”

After listening to her words, Feng Jin showed all the expressions on his mind.

However, someone reacts faster than them!

The audience in the live broadcast room was fed up with the pain of buying a house, but they did not expect to be hurt even if they watched a live broadcast.

[Quer]: Shocked! The oldest real estate developer in history turned out to be her!

[Nutrition Express]: If Xiangyang County is fully constructed and becomes a peaceful residence in a chaotic world, I think those lands will be very expensive.

[Drunken White Snake Soup]: Bah, who said that ancient houses were cheap before, and wanted to travel through ancient times to be a renter and eat rent while lying down? Look, you look, the anchor is going to engage in real estate, and the price of the house can skyrocket. Not to mention buying a house as a renter, you still have to be a house slave in ancient times. Worthy!

Jiang Pengji glanced at the barrage, feeling quite innocent, she really didn't think much about it at first.

She has nothing to do with real estate and land speculation

She just wanted to build a house on uninhabited land, and then the families who participated in the corvée would be able to live in at low rents, there would be certain tax reductions in the future, and she could also rent farming equipment and cattle from the county government at a relatively low price... Her thoughts are simple.

But now... It seems that it can be extended further
